My first time drawing RoBul!! 🇷🇴🇧🇬 I've been wanting to draw them with those loooooong bottles 👀

I drew APH Romania with Țuică de Prune, a traditional spirit made of plum. While APH Bulgaria is with muscat grape Rakia or fruit brandy (based on Burgas 63 brand)🍇

At this point I feel like Himaruya is NEVER gonna portray my country. FINE, I'll do it MYSELF ! Hmph. Also I had no idea which brush to use. This man, Himaruya's art style is impossible to replicate (For me at least....skill issue ig).

Once upon a time before shit hit the fan

Unless I have failed miserably, because Urdu is so DIFFICULT to write in as someone who has never used the alphabet before, that says Diwan e Ghalib :) That's a collection of Urdu and Farsi poems. I don't think my Bangladesh particularly enjoyed Urdu poems, but I think they did like talking about poetry and literature together in general. So!

(.. I looked it up on the internet and that's how it was written... I'm so confused. I can read Arabic. I can read the Diwan perfectly well, and that says Ghalb. Not Ghalib. Where is the E ajdjdje?? I'm so sorry if I wrote something mad different)

(don't look at it too long there are too many mistakes and inconsistencies)

What are your favourite kinds of Japan content? Or alternatively, what are your least favourites?

I'm a huge aph Japan fan, and I'm always curious abt this stuff.

Hmmm, well honestly I could talk all day about this topic LMAO but for your sake and mine I'll keep it brief and focus mostly on two especially grating depictions i dislike. I have some posts queued up down the line for how i tend to see japan so feel free to ask me about that when i get around to posting it ehehe

"Polite, cute, shy, quiet" japan depictions reallllly don't work for me. Like it's one thing to say that Japan is a reserved guy who puts value in having good manners and doesn't want to come across as rude, but it's another to turn him into a wilting flower who's easily dominated by louder personalities and turns into a side character. Besides it falling into ur typical trope of the "diminutive east asian who needs to be taught by their loud non easian (usually white) partner how to stand up for themself and live life a little," I think it's just patently false, both canonically and historically lmao. Like hima has called Japan a stubborn old man before, and history will tell you that Japan is nothing if not resourceful and very very proud, lol. He may bite his tongue, but I imagine that hes not someone who easily gives up or submits or at least without a fight 😂

Germany-Italy-Japan trio, or "Axis" trio, depictions never go over well for me, lol. I'm of the mindset that you can't really divorce them from their history in WW2, especially if you're going to call them the Axis, like lol the least you could do is call them something new. Furthermore, Geritapan depictions in my opinion are terrible with tokenizing japan as the sole character of color/east asian in the group, but the Worst Geritapan Depictions as of late are shipping gerita with japan off in the cuck chair?? I'm not saying we need to give Japan bitches (because lord knows he doesn't deserve any) but wow, congrats, you made your only East Asian man an emasculated yellow guy who just pines and copes over a white love interest who dgaf about him <3 a win for diversity!!!

anyways, if you're going to ship gerita but treat japan like this, i would rather you ship germany and italy together like a normal person and leave japan out of it 🙏
