Again with fur coats

I'm sorry for irregular posting, I've been snowed under with my uni work lately ( Ó⁠╭⁠╮⁠Ò )

Nevertheless I'm always grateful for your support!!!!! ( ⁠＾⁠ω⁠＾)

Under the cut lots of thoughts on current manga arc (I've got no one to talk about it,...)

I like to imagine that in gangsta au they still use flip phones. But it got me thinking about how that universe works,... Are there any transnational corporations? Is history in general the same just with criminal elements?? Like there should be some sort of grand gang bang I and II if the United Districts organization exists (the analogy to the UN, of course). And the Big five is just the security council.

Moreover, in the same strip, the fall of the USSR is brought up as the permanent members of UD discuss whatever they should keep or kick out newly formed Russia (or district 7. It's cute that they call each other after the first number of the nation's phone code. One thing bothers me with this fact. What were the districts called before the invention of telephones? Countries received permanent telephone codes only in the mid-20th century. Or in terms of au the actual number of the district isn't connected with phones and just a number?? Another bit of useless info: Kazakhstan also uses +7; will they be [I doubt that they would make an appearance in au, but let me DREAM!!!] also a part of the whole district 7 like NA bros with district 1???). Buttttt I was talking from the perspective of our history being pulled over on the lore of gangstatalia, cause we don't have those events described in canon, which IS interesting!!!!!

Also, the sputnik was mentioned, which means the whole cold war (or at least the space race period) had happened... Um. Do districts own nuclear weapons? It's just a theory. a MANGA theory!

Considering in that the characters aren't probably immortal anymore (well, I can make that conclusion only from the panel with young Alfred literally saying, "oh so you're the representative of the 86th district? I'm the new representative of the 1!", it means... that there was someone before him ruling the district.............), the timeline of parallel events shortens.

Therefore, the events are closely packed together; there aren't gaps of decades between them, but more likely a couple of years.

How does this world work? Judging from the map, the districts are on a Pangaea-like continent. Or are they districts of some bigger country...?

Is there a ruler over all districts? Who is it then? Flying mint bunny? Tony? GRANPA RO-

Was there always the gangster's paradise in the regions, or was the government more authoritarian before??????? WHY IS CRIME THE NORM? Why did they decide to regulate everything with the help of playing cards?

And lastly. The electric collars. How? How did the idea even cross Alfred's mind? If I'm not mistaken he is, well, not the creater, but the person who suggested wearing them. "Let's fry our brains to crispy nuggets!!!" Haha. Fun.

And others in the big five agreed to it. Like that isn't totally bucknutty. Not at all. Electric chairs would be much better...

Oof my head hurts just thinking of it

Maybe I'm not the first one to ask these kinds of questions, but still. I need answers.

Wanted to do something really dreamy \(⁠・⁠∀⁠・⁠)

[mac-ann-cheese]

It's been a long time...

I saw in one of the reblogs someone (I hope you see this!) mentioning that the combo of Alfred and LDR is underrated, oh well I've got good news for you... as I have a bazillion of Lana's songs that I associate with him (the -tism goes BRRRRR)

It's embarrassing to say that I've completed this in a span of 3 days, cause I started it way back in February

Procrastination at its finest.

[mac-ann-cheese]

Awwwww thank you! I really appreciate yours and others comments on my silly doings!!!!! (⁠〃ﾟ⁠3ﾟ⁠〃⁠)

[mac-ann-cheese]

Picked up an abandoned dusty animatic, so nothing exciting to post today

Although I did this fun base (by @ oobbbear) from twitter <⁠(• 3 •)⁠>

[mac-ann-cheese]

Like Disney princesses, they exist in a pink void...

I can't stress enough how I am grateful for your support on my drawings!! You really make me happy („> ω <„)

Oh, btw it's my birthday today

And yesterday the Cure's new album dropped!

What a coincidence...

Happy Halloween! ₍⁠₍⁠ ⁠◝⁠(⁠　ﾟ⁠∀⁠ ﾟ⁠ ⁠)⁠◟⁠ ⁠⁾⁠⁾

Tbh, 2010s halloween outfits kinda slap. Newer ones are spectacular too, don't get me wrong!! However I prefer those, something in them is just nostalgic.

Behind the cut is crazy amount of words.

Sooo, I wouldn't put it as a big and detailed au, but some thoughts behind my drawing: I drew my ideas from fanfic/comic (don't actually remember), where Francis sort of died in Arthur's typical vampire castle and became a ghost, and I focused on more what had happened before that.

It's the 18th century, unindentified place. Francis, an heir to a generic grand fortune, spends his life (and money) on pointlessly expensive parties. Suddenly, out of nowhere, he discovers that he got chronically ill-ed by fate, cause she didn't like his way of living. Maybe the plague got him or tuberculosis, something, that can't be fully cured at that time. Of course, this unpleasant finding shakes up the whole world for Francis and... actually nothing changes. "I'm still going to die, why to waste time on lamenting?", - he probably thought, partially accepting his demise. But people drew away from him, as you know, sickness are easily spread. The only way for him having fun was closed. Nobody would invite or let him in social events even for loads of money. And that's the reason behind searching for someone who could genuinely stand to have him around.

Like any unnamed cities do, there is always a guy who lives on the outskirts of the town for a mysterious reason... Nobody knew that Arthur is a vampire, however he acted little bit on the unusual side in the public, so no one liked to tolerate him enough to communicate with. Being already a pretty unlucky man overall and having NO friends makes Arthur to long for any mortal (or not) soul to talk to. Maybe he will try not eating them first before deciding to have a chit chat.

And by logic of any wonderful universe, the seekers found each other.

Getting turned away at another late party, Francis bumps in Arthur, who was lurking for unfortunate drunkard around the place. "Um, mister," , - Francis probably wondered out loud, - "why are you hiding behind that pillar? Wait, don't turn away, I've seen you", - as a response he gets only cat-like hisses. And then Francis makes another unpleasant discovery about himself - he is into whatever the fuck is going on with this guy in a goofy looking top hat and a coat. That fateful night Arthur got himself a literal follower.

With the fact of being known Arthur was annoyed for couple of days, but quickly overcome his aversion. It was nice to have someone around for the first time in centuries. Even though Francis's blood tasted repulsively sweet of his malady, it was way better than a beggar.

And Francis met a companion for endless conversation and hanging out. In the dark, sadly. On the other side, Arthur's got a castle... Francis doesn't have that much time left, but will get used to all that biting quirks and hate of the sun of his newfound friend (no, he won't get a slightest idea of connection to vampires. Poor him!).

Halloween is peeking around the corner!! (⁠ ⁠/⁠^⁠ω⁠^⁠)⁠/⁠♪⁠♪

Jiangshi's fulu (the note) is kinda hard to write, so there's no explanation for the meaning of the message (on my drawing, it's just scribbles).

I have one more themed piece, so I'm keeping it for the actual spooky day. And it's about vampires too. Well, I guess having Twilight as my favorite movie speaks volumes for me...

[mac-ann-cheese]

I think fur coats should be a thing for Ivan in this Gangsta au. Or in canon in general. Or I just like drawing him in fur coats

HMMMM... (⁠‾⁠.⁠‾⁠“⁠)

(is this the new addition to the Hetalia multiverse? I'm still confused on why we suddenly have the whole mafia wattpad fanfic fantasy going on... Not like I'm complaining, it IS interesting and hilarious)

[mac-ann-cheese]

Alfred saying that Ivan has a “nice rack” infront of everyone at a meeting

I know it's been over a month and I'm SO SORRY (⁠ ⁠･ั⁠﹏⁠･ั⁠)

I didn't forget...

Stuff was happening. Didn't have that much of time to do requests.

As a bonus, I'll give you words of encouragement from Alfred.

[mac-ann-cheese]

The funny thing is that I really like Egypt in Hetalia (and completely baffled that there is so little of him in manga....)

[mac-ann-cheese]

I couldn't stop giggling while drawing cause he looks homeless

[mac-ann-cheese]

And this thing.

I saw it in my homework file for uni

The scream I scrumpt... still haven't gotten my voice back.

[mac-ann-cheese]

Girls with flowers... (⁠ﾉ⁠◕⁠ヮ⁠◕⁠)⁠ﾉ⁠*⁠.⁠✧

[mac-ann-cheese]

Oh no, must be the season of the witch...

"Acclaimed the best picture of the year from any country!"

I've always wanted to try to make poster-style art (⁠◍⁠•⁠ᴗ⁠•⁠◍⁠)

Inspired by Hitchcock's Vertigo

[mac-ann-cheese]

Looking at your sweet rusame and remembering your cold war era act where Alfred put his cig out on Ivan's arm 😭

Hehe, thank you!!!! ^_^

And actually on that sketch it was the other way around/no hate, just clarifying!!
