#ALFRED IN GLASSES

[forsoobado137]

America definitely gets shit for having glasses. Like people will just say "you'd be hotter if you didn't have those glasses" without any shame or hesitation.

I bet photographers ask him to remove them to make him look "tougher" and he gets backhanded compliments in interviews.

There's probably even a few brave fools who snatch (or attempt to snatch) away his glasses. These interactions probably end up in a black eye after they are sent flying after they had the brilliant idea of getting in a super-powered immortal's personal space.

But fr I feel like America is always extremely annoyed with these people and always expresses it. His glasses represent Texas! They're an important part of him, and he can't exactly get rid of them. Also he needs them to SEE. The nerve of some people to say/imply he's lesser for having them!

Same logic applies to Canada, but he's not as vocal about his annoyance. He'll either awkwardly laugh it off or be passive-aggressive because he doesn't want to start a fight. The only time he'll start voicing his opinion is when he's at the end of his patience, and even then he'll just raise his voice before he resumes to whatever he was doing.

Things That I Think Would Happen If Hetalia Characters Were Real IRL

Much like last years "Taylor Swift Counter" Every year at the Super Bowl There would be an "America Counter" And people would keep track how often the announcers & camera crew either mentioned America or Panned over to him doing mundane things. There would also be a Hot Dog Counter where Alfred would hold up a little sign letting everyone know what hot dog he was on getting him screams and cheers the higher the count got.

something like this ^^ yes I went ahead and doodled it for you so you could see my vision. I do believe Alfred would have the dogs out while he ate his dogs.

imagining if the main detectives met & Karl started making fun of Alfred's tiny glasses and Alfred deduced that from Karl's drinking and smoking habits he must be very lonely & then Karl tells him there's about to be another Longharvest murder and Hasan has to make them say sorry lmao

I present to you my years long obsession - female America.

This is not a Nyotalia version it's just a concept of "what if everything is the same but Alfred was born a girl". Like i see so much potential! In a world where all the odds are stacked against her, she despite it all gets to where she is today. Making good and bad decisions along the way.

A lil hc/backstory for my main girl:

• Given name (by dad Arthur) is Elizabeth Felicity Kirkland but during the revolution changes her last name to Jones. Her first name change happens in the 1820/1830s when she changes it to Alexandra, also dropping her second name. (I was young when I came across the name and it means "defender/protector of man" and I was /obessed/ so i just stick to it since she is a loser and just thinks it's a cool sounding name)

• She goes by Alex/Al and I think that's neat :)

• My girl is tall. Like 181 cm tall. Sender but with visible muscles. She does want a bigger behind but her Anglo-Saxon genetics say nah.

• As a child she spent more time in England due to her being a girl so I think even if Arthur was absent he didn't allow her to spend much time alone in the colonies. She resents that ofc

• Just like with Alfred, Alex is very fkn close to Matt even if she forgets to call him or check up on him for months at a time. Al: "Hey man I know I just called a while ago but how've you been? Matt: "you called me 5 months ago..."

• Works at NASA as a part time aeronaitical engeneer. Loves physics, hates chemistry (self projection im sorry)

• During the revolution she dressed up as a boy but the people she worked with knew she wasn't one. People went along with it anyway.

• Other than during the American revolution, she dressed in feminine presenting clothes up until the 1930s. After that it was trousers all the way!

• Alex was never a nurse during wartime but definitely did accountaint work in ww1 and later joined the Women’s Auxiliary Air Force (WAAF) where she stayed until 1943 when she joined her men fighting on the ground ( Conversion to Army status, Women's Army Corps - WAC). That's when she saw actual combat.

• Isn't fond of birds. Canaries are fine. Eagles are unsettling.

• Obsesses over a certan thing/hobby at a time up to a point where she perfects her skill. When she was about 14 (human years) it was the whole freedom and equality of man and all the politics regarding it. In the 1890s her obession was cars and motor vehicles. The 1910s brought a new obsession on womens rights. 1960s was space exploration where she devoted almost all her time researching and working for NASA, disregarding her goverment/state duties as a country. In the 1980s it was the internet. In 1990s she got really interested in the Balkan wars (self insert >:)) for whatever reason. Today her attention is mostly on social media and her attention span ia short af. Still really likes all things tech.

• Hasn't got many properties/real estate. Al does own a penthouse in Seaport, Boston and a late 17th and early 18th century colonial home in Newbury, Boston (that she needs to renovate asap). The only other real state she owns is in California, though modern and recently buit, it's not big nor does she spend much time there.

• Her personality is basicaly Alfred if he grew up as a woman and had to face opression based on sex and inequality that came with it. So still bubbly, extroverted, a social butterfly but also self-serving, idealistic, manipulative sprinkled in with sarcasm, cautiousness and craftiness. Same feckin sense of humour tho.

• In 1783, at the Treaty of Paris in Versailles both her and her father had to sign the document that started her independence (She herself had a human representitive 'cus of her age/sex bla bla but it was mostly formalities). At that signing Arthur gave her a flintlock pistol that he himself used in the 1640s. Not many words were exchanged, he just put it in her hand to keep. She still has it in her attic. Somewhere. She'd find it if she just takes the time to look for it I'm sure.

• In 1889 she straight up did her first war crime/murder of a fellow nation (if you don't count shooting her pops face off at Saratoga in 1777). After an altrication with Antonio that resulted in him insulting and slapping the girl for her audacity and mouthiness, she punched him straight in the jaw. A fight insued where she got ahold of his belt and straight up strangled him. Took her a while to process that and accept it. On the bright side Antonios scilence was heard around the world and while perplexed and insulted, older and influential (mostly male at that point) nations started to feel a glint of respect forming for the young startup.

• Al was given a family pocket watch by her father in the 90s (No more empire for Arthur so he sad :(((((( ) that was suppoaed to go to a firstborn son of a lord as an inheritance symbol. Everyone thought Jack would get it since Matt is techincally not Arthur's son. But even he would be expected to recieve it before Al. Then in an unexpected turn of events, while visiting her grumpy and nostalgeous empire-missing dad, Arthur pulled out the watch while eating stale kebabs in front of the telly and gave it to her casualy without as much as a word (The empire started with her, it shall end with her). She keeps it in her work desk drawer in a wooden box.

• Al and Zee have an interesting relationship. While being different in almost every aspect, there ia a mutual respect for eachother from eachother. While not really being able to see eye to eye, they are sisters in a certain roundabout and very fucked up way. Girls who learned that they are very much judged by their sex despite being daughters of a high ranking British lord. While aware that she will never be Alex/Elizabeth in her fathers eyes, Zee still gets treated as a treasure by her father. Much to Zee's annoyance.

• It's still Matt who's in Alex's shadow. Despite the dificulties she rises above and is the perfect child of an empire. Smart, intelligent, inquisitive, a fast learner and incredibly aware of the political and historical situation at all times. Even despite being a girl and less than a son in the eyes of a 17th/18th century society, she suceeds.

• Arthur wanted a son to come from his colonial endeavours, as all empires/nobility at the time did. And as all other empires at the time had. But ofc karma is a bitch and he's the only empire with an only child being a daughter. Though at first thougrly dissaponted, when he lays his eyes on his daughter for the first time, the only emotion he can feel is /joy/.

• Instead of sowing/knitting Al's education was very much focused on natural sciences, since that is where Arthur quickly realized she exels at. He swapped her Violin and General History of Music lessions with Astrophysics and The History of Astronomy. All in an attempt to stop her from making his ears bleed from the constant prattling about The Four Square Theorem or The Brachistocrone Curve. It only got worse, but his daughter was happy and content.

I have sooooo many more of these jfc i might do more later but for now this is all I can think of.

TLDR: Female America is great and has so much potential as a character hghhhhhhhh

he could’ve done will graham… do you all see the vision

[vulptalia]

I think Alfred has a really hard time admitting he’s in the wrong or acknowledging it. I think he’s the type to just say like “I’m just doing what I’m told, I’m sorry,” but not change his ways. As if that’s forgivable.

[house-on-sand]

it makes me wanna scream that both bruce and jason have been referred to as a prince of gotham. you literally don't understand how i feel about this!

bc on the one hand, for bruce, it's a statement on who he is and what he comes from and his family's influence on gotham.

but on the other, for jason, it's what he could be, it's what willis wanted for him. he wanted his son to be something more and for him to have a better life and a future that willis didn't have and catherine gave up.

for bruce it's a name for the media! it's a tagline on a magazine!

for jason it's a sign of love! it's a hope for the future! it's full of potential!

its something about unintentional parallels

Checkmate

This is my secret santa piece for @artistacorn :) the account doesn’t show up anymore so if anyone knows if the username was changed please let me know ❤️

The prompt was king and knight and I wanted to try making something that felt a bit fairytale-esque. I got very into it 😭

The chess pieces they’re holding represent the other; Alfred has the king and Ivan has the knight. This drawing is meant to be about how Ivan, the king, is losing control because of his feelings. Even though he has supreme authority over Alfred (and like, everything, he’s king), his grip on the chess piece is slack and his expression is a bit nervous. Conversely, Alfred holds his piece easily between his fingers (kind of visualizing how he has Ivan wrapped around his finger) with a hand over his heart in a show of mock-respect. The little stars represent sparks but mostly I just think they look pretty. Anyway that’s the idea, happy holidays!
