Early Appalachian frontiersman Alfred in buckskin circa 1790- 1810s. I’m trying to figure out how to paint like NC Wyeth digitally (so lol the background is Wyeth’s).

Gonna ramble a bit about my nor’easter au and Alfred below the cut

Following the American Revolution, Alfred is immediately sent out to squash any rebellions (like whiskey rebellion) and to partake in wars against Indigenous nations like the Cherokee. I’ll save a discussion about the Cherokee wars for another time because that’ll take a long time to explain + I’m still working on my Cherokee oc and I need to understand Cherokee history and perspective more before I go forward with talking about this topic.

Now the many of the east coast states are older than Alfred, and they mostly supported him during the revolution because they thought he’d be easy to control given at the time of the revolution he wasn’t tied down as any colony or city. However, he was a New Englander and very obviously so

He was once Plymouth colony and he grew up alongside his cousin Henry/Massachusetts, but by the time the revolution occurred, his status was unclear and he was simply living with his cousin (who’s his earliest and most fierce supporter) .

These states operated like countries and part of why the had the revolution was to continue to self-govern and maintain their regional cultures. It’s also part of why the federal government initially was rather weak. Given Alfred’s closeness to his cousin, and his very staunch New England identity, I think the states would be hesitant over a strong New England national control. And so I think they especially Jennie/NY & Rich/Virginia encouraged Alfred to leave his cousin for a while, and partake in military campaigns (+ he was good at battle).

Also Alfred was like 14, and I don’t think he’s ever been the type to sit down and do paperwork. Honestly he was always a bad student, who was far more interested in the outdoors, horses, sailing and hunting. While he won the war, and he was fine with being head of state, he still didn’t 1) have confidence in himself to make non-military related decisions 2) he just wasn’t mentally ready to take on the responsibilities and was fine deferring it to his states like Jennie, Rich, or Henry to figure out matters that weren’t military related. He was irresponsible and it would come back to bite him in the ass during the Civil War.

Alfred on a personal level it was probably good for him to get away from his overly critical cousin who can be overbearing, but also so he would get more experience to deeply get to know his states.

Also Alfred, growing up in New England, he was a little ball of rage as a kid and he has a difficult time managing his emotions. He wasn’t exactly the personable seemingly fun loving Alfred of the present. Not that he couldn’t crack a joke, but ok I’m not from New England, but in the northeast I find we’re rather cynical, un-filtered and sarcastic and tbh kind of asssholes in the way we have fun and in our humor. That’s how he was, which is like fine unless you’re trying to appeal to the rest of the nation lol which he would have to

I think his time spent in Appalachia and the south did help him learn more about his other states especially Maisie/ North Carolina. But also helped him learn more how to let go some of this intense New England rage, and how to better control his emotions. But also let loose in a way that isn’t so dark and cynical. Also I think this helped him slowly learn how to speak with less of a New England specific accent

He was also able to observe states like Rich and Carl/ South Carolina and gain an understanding of how being able to control your emotions, can help control your image and how others perceive you. So these are the origins of how he slowly began to shape and become at least in public this overly friendly happy go lucky Alfred.

I’ll save a discussion about his interactions with the Appalachian states more explicitly another time I’m just tired😴 fr rn

My latest Hetalia AU just dropped everyone strap in

I present the Hetalia x Codename: Kids Next Door AU, Sector G9 (It was either G9 or 8.5 cause they forget Canada ya know but idk)

I lately been getting rlly into the show so like ofc i had to make a au of it. I already made one with me and my friend’s personas but the world may never see it so have this instead

[95jezzica]

Historically speaking Sweden & Ukraine being Iceland's parents make no sense at all.

For a human AU it's VERY tempting though, because holy smokes- (gestures at Sweden & Ukraine) - just look at them! They're so Ice-parent shaped!

[I blame @mseirtaku for starting this, and giving my brain IDEAS]. 😂 xD

Hi! I'm finally going back to the usual drawing and brought you Peter and Arthur from the Soviet au. And a silly video from my tik tok :3

[artist-kili]

I am a bit of a fan of Jekyll and Hyde (musicals, original book, the concept anything in relation really) (I am not a diehard fan. I find it neat. That describes it best).

I developed an Alternative Universe with placing Hetalia Characters in roles from a musical variation (The one with Anthony Warlow as Jekyll/Hyde) including some additional roles and it goes following:

Romania as Jekyll/Hyde. Late 19th century, is a chemist and licensed doctor, charming man and wants knowledged. The idea of an evil and good soul and what causes someone to descend into insanity aren't cause by personal events, rather he just has a specific interest in these things, so much so he hardly can find passion for other topics. He is very neurodivergent-coded (Intense special interest, irritation over misunderstandings, awkward socially, dislikes change, finding himself to be overwhelmed by sensorially challenging situations)

Ukraine as Lisa Carew, Jekylls fiancé (I love RomUkr). She loves his passion over his research but often has to pull him out of it. She aids him with social events and reassures him.

England as Mr. Stride. I totally antagonized England for this. I want him to be jealous asf of Romania because he wanted to marry Ukraine. He also thinks of Ro as eccentric and dangerous and occasionally more or less purposefully sets him off, never managing to trigger a meltdown. He is in an arranged marriage to China (additional thing I did. i liked the Idea of it).

China is basically just there. I need some fun story for them. (Afab China in this case. Probably non binary but it wont quite show).

Bulgaria starring as Mr. Utterson I believe was his name. Mr Lawyer and friend of Jekyll. He kinda watches the story unfold and finds out the truth at the end (not sure which ending to use.)

Russia and Belarus exist as well as Romanias siblings in law but dont have a big roll.

I don't think the victims will be other Hetalia characters. This all is more or less a human AU.

Perhaps I include a Lucy in the form of Nyo Prussia or Nyo Poland but I dont really see a point for a Lucy. Perhaps a different function.

Also this is where my idea stems from that Romania actually was a chemist/scientist in like the 1800s/1900s. I like it. Also that he would teach Germany science stuff since Prussia likes his personality (minus that weird omnious feeling)

Proud of how this came out. Anyways some revolutionary war Alfred. I’ll share some thoughts I have about him in regards to my au lore beneath the cut

He’s a stubborn angry irresponsible kid from New England when the war begins, and tbh he’s like this until the American Civil War. He accepted a lot of responsibility at a young age, was rather insecure, too stubborn to really admit he needs help, and deferred a lot to his states - eventually his irresponsibility catches up with him. And he’s also later forced to change his disposition to be more friendly and diplomatic.

He barely gains the support of his own states. He was initially Plymouth colony, existed as basically nothing except as a ward of his cousin Henry/Massachusetts. The states just tbh saw him as the most neutral option amongst themselves given he has no real role & all the other states have great qualms with each other. But they do admire his commitment, and his battle expertise, and also pure strength. They do however see him as an irresponsible kid so they think he’ll be easy to control (they’re not much that older than him)

His cousin Henry is quite supportive of him and sees his potential so he’s really the one pushing Alfred forth. Alfred just agrees to appease his cousin, whom has taken good care of him up until this point. He’s a kid who accepts way too much responsibility and is way in over his head.

Alfred isn’t a stranger to war or violence prior to the Revolution. However during the revolution, I think under the guidance of General Washington he refines his battle skills and learns to better channel his anger into battle rather than being sporadic. He comes to view General Washington as a father-like figure.

what you think the nordics learn at uni or college?

Well, nation-verse or human AU? If they're still nations I think most nations have several degrees they go back to update from time to time and I think I've mentioned what I hc their educations to be in Human AUs before, but since I can't find the post at the moment I imagine they would go with something like...

Norway: Lawyer, focused on economic crimes and dealing with big companies. In the future he will be scarily good and because of this very expensive to hire, but every 10-15th case or so he's taking on what more or less is a charity case to help someone out who otherwise wouldn't be able to pay for a good lawyer and is about to get screwed over by a big company. Norway is scarily good at what he does, and he'll win his cases 99% of the time as long as his clients listen to his instructions. (For the last 1%, well, he can't cure stupid).

It's either that or he would be crazy good at reading the stock market, making moves no ones expect and turn them into his own advantage. Some call it luck, but Norway just knows what signs to look for and has a strict code of business he follows for himself.

Denmark: Electrician. Idk what the education looks like in other countries, but over here the +2 years education to electrician isn't exactly uni or college, but kind of like... Something else. A mix between apprenticeship and reading theory. I think this would suit Denmark better than traditional university education, because though he's really smart he just doesn't have the attention span and peace to sit down and study 8-10 hours/day like you might have to do for some of the university degrees out there.

Sweden: I originally really liked him as a kindergarten teacher, which would be university education, but considering how tall I hc him to be... The job would absolutely kill his back. I also hc him as blind, so he'd probably suit better as teacher for slightly older children (think 6-12y olds maybe, or older) or the teacher running the after-school program. Depending on how serious I make his back-pain in the AU, I sometimes also let him be home on disability and/or with a part-time job. (In at least 2 AUs I have Sweden employed part-time by China to do general maintenance on the house China is landlord for and/or call in the people who need to be hired to fix The Problem in question).

Iceland: I have a hard time imagining him in uni since we always see him so young-looking, but I can absolutely see him work with/studying Geothermal power and sustainable energy in general.

Finland: Former military who I think either became a chimney sweeper or a plumber. He's not afraid of getting his hands dirty and wants something more physical to make use of his restless energy. I can also see him re-educate himself to some sort of forest ranger or nature guide in the future, because he would absolutely love to spend all day outdoors as well.

I have no idea what I would put for Sealand on this, but Ladonia will probably grow up to get an university degree in programming (I'm thinking Java, C+ and a personal interest in Python) and a minor in (human) language(s). 😊 Haven't decided if I think Ladonia would be more interested in programming machines/computers from scratch or more into game developing though, but he still has a few more years to figure that out. 😉
