#I have my own names for the Nyo

[medicallysilly]

I drew Nyo America, I still have to polish the tiny detail of not making her look like a scary mannequin lol

I have some time so here are some headcanons;

• She does see England as her mother, Alice, unlike Arthur, did not want to leave her colony adrift during her late childhood and adolescence. While Arthur let Alfred fend for himself from the time he was 8-10 years old, Alice was constantly with Amelia, she was a rough mother who wanted her daughter to be a refined lady but that formed a stronger bond between them.

•She tried for years to be a serious and tough woman, inspired by Alicia she learned from a very young age that she had to make an extra effort to be taken seriously. It was only after the World War II that she realized her position in the world and allowed herself to be more daring and "vulgar", wearing short skirts, more extravagant jewelry, makeup, etc.

• Amelia and Helena (Nyo Romano) have a friendship based on rivalry. Helena is vain and much more cutting than her male counterpart, so when she got involved with Amelia, a young and pretty woman she felt that need to compete. Far from being something harmful, this made them both closer. If Helena criticized how Amelia was dressed, she would ask why and Helena would explain, thus starting a conversation that ends up being friendly.

• She had an unrequited crush on Julchen (Prussia) this woman was the opposite of everything she knew, Julchen really fought and was not afraid to take a good punch, something completely opposite to Alicia and her teachings about not getting physically involved in fights and being more diplomatic, Amelia was nevertheless fascinated by this facet of Julchen. Unfortunately Julchen had no interest in Amelia, Amelia was a child in her eyes and saw her more as a little sister.

• Amelia and Marguerite (Canada) have a complex relationship, Marguerite is passive aggressive and hides it under a cloak of false diplomacy, so unlike Alfred and Matthew, Marguerite drops many hints about what she dislikes about her sister and Amelia does the same, this does not mean that they do not love each other, they grew up as sisters under the tutelage of Alicia, there is a feeling of sisterhood and camaraderie but not much more.

• She actually has straight hair, very straight, but she thought that was flat and boring, instead she envied Marguerite's natural waves and did everything she could to achieve them, currently she has a perm

∆ Try to make sure there are no spelling mistakes.

Gyro was kissing your neck, holding you against a pillar in the hayloft of the barn you were all staying at for the night, his hands groping your breasts through your shirt while Johnny was elsewhere. You shamelessly groaned at his touch, but when he attempted to unbutton your pants you grabbed his hand and stopped him.

"What?"

You just smirked at him.

"Hot as this is the last thing I'm gonna do is let your raunchy ass inside of me. Can you even pinpoint the last time you'd even bathed?"

Gyro huffed, not willing to agree with you. Sure he may have run past some rivers and streams while trying to cut time for the race, sacrificing any chances of bathing, but he was still clean enough.

"Last thing I'd want is to get a new disease named after me."

"Hey!"

Gyro pressed his forehead against yours, scowling while you smirked. His face then softened as he held your hand.

"And just what are you gonna do about this?'

He guided your hand down to his crotch, pressing against where his bulge strained against his pants.

You tilted your head, thoughtfully humming.

"I may have a workaround for that."

You pushed him away, going to your bag that you had tossed aside before this little incident. Gyro watched as you kneeled down, staring at your ass as you dug inside. Soon enough you pulled out a container of body cream he'd seen you put on before going to sleep. You crawled closer to him, tugging your bag along as well, kneeling on the ground as you began to work on his gaudy belt.

Gyro grinned, having some idea of where this was going.

"Don't even think about putting it in my mouth."

He huffed.

He did sigh when you released his member from the confines of his pants, even giving a stroke before you pulled away. Gyro laid against the same column he had you against earlier, giving his own cock a rub as he looked down at you.

"So what are you gonna do now?'

You just smirked.

You immediately started to unbutton your blouse, taking your time to let it slide down your arms, leaving you in just your riding corset. You could just feel Gyro's eyes on your pushed up cleavage.

Without even looking you proceeded to unlace it from behind, letting it fall free once it was completely untied.

You'd swear he got harder just from the sight of your bare breasts.

You then grabbed your cream, untwisting the cap and dipping your fingers to scoop a sizable dollop of it. After rubbing it between your hands Gyro watched mesmerized as you rubbed it onto your breasts, even noticing when you dug your fingers into your nipples.

When you were done you pushed your breasts together.

"Stick it in."

He grinned that golden smile of his and with a "Nyo Ho" stuck his tip underneath your breasts, shuddering as he kept sliding it in. You just pressed your breasts together even more to get that reaction out of him, Gyro practically drooling.

You then moved your breasts against his cock, rubbing it up and down with them while Gyro panted above you. Soon enough he had to grab your shoulders for support, hunching over as he thrusted into your tits, his tip peaking out of them every now and then.

You gazed up at his face, a bit proud to have turned the usual smugness on it into messy, blushing, desperation. You also pressed your fingers into your nipples for your own pleasure.

Soon you could tell he was getting close, Gyro panting even harder than before. You then held your breasts even more around his cock, loving the whine he let out as you stroked his cock with your breasts. Soon enough Gyro came, his cum flooding the valley between your breasts as you held them together around him.

You released him, Gyro falling back against the column as his legs struggled to keep him standing. You looked down at your chest, thick globs of white running down it.

"Disgusting." You commented as you gazed down at his mess.

You reached into your bag and grabbed a rag, wiping yourself clean as Gyro watched, still enamored.

He then got on his knees and grabbed your hand, stopping you.

"Allow me."

He grabbed the rag and wiped you down, absolutely taking his time as he appreciated the shape of your breasts. You shuddered when you felt him rub the fabric against a nipple, Gyro grinning at the sight. Once you were cleaned Gyro looked you in the eye as he grabbed one of your breasts, biting your lip as he rubbed his thumb into the nipple.

"I think I have a workaround for you too."

Gyro pushed you onto your back, rubbing his palm against one of your breasts as he licked the nipple of the other, you groaning at his touch. As he began to suck at your breast you'd tugged at his hair, practically feeling him smile around your nipple.

Through the heat of the moment you'd swear you could feel his newly hardened cock poking against your thigh, looking over at your cream from earlier.

You still had enough left.

CHARACTERS I TEND TO PORTRAY AS WOMEN

A short little list of character that, generally, when I’m speaking about them, I’m speaking about a female alternative and a short explanation on why. Excluding nations that are not canon in hetalia (e.g. the Faroe Islands).

NYO REPLACEMENTS:

“Nyo replacements” refer to nations where I still acknowledge the existence of the male counterpart, I might include them in ships or different AUs, but generally speaking, I prefer to treat their nyo as the “main” portrayal.

NYO ICELAND:

“Hrafnhildur Ingólfsdóttir”

Whilst I have never actually taken any issue with regular Iceland, I, at some point, just started gravitating more towards Hrafnhildur, instead. I actively developed her more than I did regular Ice, and became more comfortable with her. Iceland is also one of the best countries for women in the modern world, it was one of the first in Europe to elect a female head of state, for example. Other reasons, but my explanation is getting long as is.

NYO ESTONIA:

“Ivika Tamm”

Mainly thanks to Finland, who can be seen in OC replacement, I personally just love the idea of Finland and Estonia as a sister duo more than a brother-sister duo. Also, Estonia was actually a pretty good fighter back in the day.. and kind of unhinged… and I just love female “warrior” Eesti. And, similar to Iceland, I just developed a nyo Estonia before I did hws Estonia.

NYO ITALY:

“Angelica Viola Rossi”

Again, another one where I just developed the nyo counterpart more than the male one, women are just easier for me. If I were to list countries that just give me a more “feminine” vibe, Italy would be one of the first ones to name. And I’ve just always loved and gravitated towards nyo Italy, so I use her far more often. Feliciano is cute, but he just never stood out to me in the way Angelica does.

NYO POLAND:

“Felicja Skłodowska”

I debated whether or not to add Poland to this list, but ultimately decided I should. Whilst I do love the “Poland is the land of fem-boys” meme and I appreciate how it fits Feliks perfectly, regular Poland has never stood out to me at all, really, where as Felicja is more fun. I prefer Poland’s female design, and would’ve preferred to see them as a woman, like originally intended.

NYO PHILIPPINES:

Currently unnamed

Like many people, before Philippines was released, I was in the camp that they should’ve been a girl. Whilst I am not knowledgeable on Filipino culture, from what I’ve heard, it would make most cultural sense for the Philippines to have been a woman. I’ve seen multiple female Philippines OCs that I have loved, and whilst I do not have my own portrayal, I feel as though a female Philippines just has more potential. But I have no problem with canon Piri, he’s pretty fun.

OC REPLACEMENTS:

“OC replacements” refer to characters where I refuse to admit could even be nyos. The male counterpart does not exist to me at all, they are dead, deceased, I personally killed them.

FINLAND:

“Aino Lemmikki Järvinen”

Mainly thanks to “Suomi Neito” or the Finnish maiden, in English. A female personification of Finland within Finnish culture, originally stemming from the idea that the land looks like a woman. Even besides, I personally find making Finland a girl to be a good visual way to show the difference between them and the other Nordics. This was before I replaced Iceland with nyo Iceland, keep in mind. I’ve spoken about this before, multiple times, so I won’t say much here. The only time I use male Finland is when I’m using a friend’s portrayal.

IRELAND:

“Saoirse O’Reilly/Ní Raghallaigh”

I cannot express the disappointment I felt when Ireland was released as a man, I was one of the many people who was really rooting for a female Ireland. I tried to make my peace with male Ireland, but I just could not. Ireland will forever be a woman in my mind. There are so many strong women who come from Ireland, and Ireland just in general has strong feminine vibes imo.

NORTHERN IRELAND:

“Niamh O’Reilly/Ní Raghallaigh”

Again, similar to Ireland, I personally headcanoned N. Ireland as a woman before actual Northern Ireland became canon, and whilst my disappointment wasn’t as strong, I just could not sit with a male n. Ireland. I did consider her a nyo for a while, but eventually I just gave up with that.

SOUTH KOREA:

“Im Soojin”

Mainly thanks to @itstokkii and their wonderful portrayal of Korea 💕 South Korea just has such strong feminine vibes to me, and I just cannot picture them as anything other than a woman. South Korea, as a character, I just did not care about at all until I started viewing them as a girl, I love my hyper-modern tech whizz girly ig, what can I say?

NEW ZEALAND/AOTEAROA:

“Maia Ngaio” as I’m unfamiliar with Māori names, as notes or suggestions are very much welcome.

When it comes to New Zealand, I just think of so many strong, amazing female activists and fighters. New Zealand was actually the first country to give women the right to vote, and is also just so great for women’s rights. Which has to account for something, right? I just love female Aotearoa so much, I always have done, and a male portrayal just has absolutely no appeal to me at all anymore.

APH x EVILLIOUS

So- I was thinking on a Hetalia AU of Evillious Chronicles (Vocaloid Saga) so, here are some characters >I think< they could fit well. Have to say this is my own interpretation ! I love this saga. I’m not an expert, nor heard the new songs bc idk what the fuck is doing mothy with the saga now. Note: Not all characters would fit their "canon" relationships on this AU, I choose the characters of by their personality thinking on the original character. Also Nyos and their counterparts could be not related nor be the same character of course. 

It’s important to say that the story has a lot of body swaps, reincarnations, so, some characters will not act as they should, some are just “vessels”

Theres some empty roles, i’m starving on female characters, HIMARUYAAA

So, here we go.

My headcanons for Belarus

Belarus is a character that I dislike in canon. Hima did her dirty :(

So here are some headcanons I have for Belarus <3

Her human name is Natallia Arloŭskaja/Arlievič (the last option is gender neutral)

Her nyo! name would be Mikalaj Arloŭskij/Arlievič

If you are interested in knowing why I think those names would suit the character better, check out this post:

Ok, back to the headcanons!

I ship her with Romano or with

Could talk for hours about knives with Sakha/Yakutia

Has a complicated relationship with Russia

She is not his sister. I don't think nations are related to each other. Sure, nations can call each other "brother" or "sister", but because they are close to each other and have no romantic feelings, not because they are genetically related.

Perhaps she had a close relationship with him in the past and called him "brother" during that time. But nowadays their relationship is more complicated.

Belarus is extremely worried about her language, as it's getting more and more russified over time.

She is very protective of her own culture and tries to preserve it as much as possible.

She could have been close to Lithuania, as she was part of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth (I need to do more research about this though...)

I know little about Belarus' history, but she is an interesting character! I will probably talk more about her in the future

[UKFr fanfic] Devil's Child

Pairing: England x Nyo!France

Tags: dark fic, Demon!England, Nyo!France, Nyo!Canada, Good Ending, Catholicism

Summary: Ten years later, on a cloudy and foggy day in England, a newspaper report about a group of young men locking themselves in a slum house and setting themselves on fire shook London. Many false and true rumors have surfaced, one of which is believed by many people, that it is actually a secret society of Satan worshipers, burning themselves so that they can donate their own souls for Lucifer.

And in the newspaper, in the list of those who died in the fire in that house, there was Arthur Kirkland's name.

Author's note: Sorry for my crude grammar and word usage. I tried translating it from Vietnamese to English, but I'm afraid it's not very good. Later I will translate some more of my fanfics into English.

Chapter 1: The Devil and the Boy

"It was a rainy day.

In the middle of a busy line of people, there was a boy with thick eyebrows, messy sandy blond hair, wearing a beret, untidy clothes, holding unsold newspaper. He went back to his dilapidated abandoned house. He took off his shoes, tiredly lay on the cold floor, gradually fell asleep, tears blurred his eyes as green as a forest.

Just as he fell asleep, a snake slithered on the floor. The snake looked at the boy's bare feet and immediately lunged forward, its mouth gaping open to aim at the child's heel.

Thinking that the snake's venom was about to bite into the boy's skin, a great force immediately fell from above. A woman's foot stepped on the snake's head. It panicked and struggled, its tail thrashing violently, but to no avail.

It was a beautiful woman wearing a robe as bright as the sun, with twelve stars on her head. The woman looked at the sleeping boy with tender eyes and boundless love.

"Let me out!"

The snake hissed, its golden eyes with thread-like pupils widening with fear mixed with hatred. The snake shape at the woman's feet turned into thick black smoke. The smoke condenses and forms a tall and handsome man, a slim waistcoat and elegant tailcoat, behind which are giant black wings shaped like bat wings.

"You must not harm this child." The woman, fearless, looked straight into the man's eyes.

"Our Lady, can You tell me why You always interrupt my work?" The man said, his voice cold and sarcastic.

"This boy in despair called my name. This boy is my son." Mary replied slowly, "Go back to your place, and never touch my beloved children again."

The man's golden eyes suddenly flashed a malicious glint. Under his feet appeared a large black mud.

"Okay, I won't harm him. But he won't be Your son forever, Lady." He laughed, as his body slowly sank into the black mud at his feet. "Instead, this child, Arthur Kirkland, will be MY child. Then he will commit crimes that no one can imagine. I will destroy everything You hold dear, Our Lady. "

Maria didn't seem scared at all. Our Lady simply replied:

"Under God's providence, my children will always return to my side."

Hearing Mary's mention of God, the devil's handsome face immediately contorted with anger.

"Let's see."

He said before sinking into the mud completely. The mud disappeared, leaving the floor dry as if there had never been any liquid there.

NOBODY ASKED but im gonna vomit all my thoughts about my OC nyo!philippines okay LETS GOOOOO

Okay to start things off let me just say that I will draw her (after my NA bros doodle) but my first headcanon is that she has long hair that she rebonds (like straightens?? idk if thats the correct term) her hair every now and then because she's naturally wavy. Not sure which bangs I like for yet but its probably gonna be side bangs for miss girl. I like imagining her hair to be a bit darker, nearing black, with brown skin, and shes also short.

Forgot to say that my OC's name is Maria Clara (MC) de la Cruz because that was the name I gave her when I was 9 years old and I'm sticking with it. I know that in 2016 that was everyone's name for her but idc its cute.

You already know that she's a good singer (boss asks that she performs during events sometimes while people eat) but what if I also HC that Maria's a great writer as well. Inspired by the works of Dr Jose Rizal, she tried to get her story told to the world in the late 1800s but was shunned because 1) she's a woman 2) she's a minority 3) she was colonized by Spain. She got into major trouble with Spain for attempting to publish her works. In her freetime, she writes poems and songs

She plays the ukelele and acoustic guitar

Okay hear me out but I like writing my lesbians with spice so lets just say that she and nyo!America have the worst on again of again cycle ever

The nyo!amephil post is coming right after this so I'll stick to writing about MC's feelings in this post

Maria HATED Amelia with a passion. She was so pissed when Amelia lied to her face and promised to save her. Amelia and Maria met when they were kids, when their mommas brought them both to a diplomatic meeting (Spain and England? Didn't end well) and they bonded over the will to be free. Amelia promised to free Maria someday.

Eventually American Revolution bla bla bla, and then Amelia made a big show of having to free the Philippines from the Spanish rule, including staging a big fake battle and everything (Battle of Manila 1898) and Maria thought that someone who she considered to be a good friend kept her promise

Also btw when MC was still colonized by Spain, she wrote letters to Amelia, some of conversation but mostly her writings and drabble and stuff

And man MC was pissed when she found out that Amelia was going to colonized her. Betrayed and hurt, she could barely believe when Amelia tried to calm her down saying it was temporary. Maria didn't care. She was LIED TO.

Even when Japan invaded and Amelia had to retreat that promise that she would return to help, Maria was still hurt and betrayed that she barely believed it

Sakura (pretty sure thats her name) was a lot more cruel to the Philippines than Spain and Amelia ever were. So strict to the point that Maria got banned from singing just because it was her outlet for her emotions.

She was so tortured and hurt in those years that she couldn't help but dream of Amelia coming to save her, but that was ridiculous. Amelia was a liar wasn't she?

Apparently not because not even a decade under Japanese rule, the Philippines was assisted in revolting and getting freed from Japan by America once again

Admittedly, Maria was happy but a part of her loathes the fact that she couldn't do it by herself. She wanted to be capable of her own independence.

Amelia saw this and although it meant they were no longer going to be united, she told Maria that she could be let go

A part of this made Maria feel upset because she couldn't fight and earn her freedom but she's also glad that the fighting was over if that makes sense?? Centuries without independence is tough so being handed it for free seemed like a dream

Well, Amelia did ask if Maria wanted to still be a colony of hers (so they could stay together forever) but Maria declined because she wanted to be free herself

Anyways boring history dynamics over, I think that Maria is someone who wants to prove herself with her talent and capabilities but is also constantly looked down upon by others

She's social, kind (see: that one time Filipinos welcomed Vietnamese refugees) and stunning but always feels like she has to prove herself

She cares about her public appearance a lot because being liked by the ASEAN, her cousins in LatAm, and by other nations because of her voice means a lot to her because centuries of being a colony made her feel worthless

ill probably reblog this with my design for her but yeah thats about it seeya

Song of Yoru and Asa Toranoana leaflet!!

I scoured the second-hand BL goods shops of Tokyo and was able to get my hands on the leaflet from its release that came with copies sold at Toranoana, which contains AsaYoru content I have never seen before, so I scanned it to share with you all.

The summary is that Futsu found a site with reader-insert fanfiction (夢小説) of the band, where readers can type in their own name to set the name of the protagonist of the story. Later, Asaichi finds Yoru reading Asaichi x reader fan fiction.

Below I've included the English machine translation as well as the transcription directly from Japanese ~

English machine translation:

PAGE 1 (left) 1 Futsu: Nyo-nyo 2 Asaichi: What’s with that face? 3 Futsu: Check this out~~ There’s this reader-insert fan fiction site about us, you know? Asaichi: Fan fiction? 4 Futsu: How should I put it? Like romance stories where people pretend they’re in a relationship with us? See, if you input your name like this, it inserts it into the story. 5 Asaichi: …? Futsu: Ahh, Asaichi’s too dumb to get it. 6 Kayoi: Hmm, so there are people starting to make stuff like that, huh? By the way, Futsu, how’d you even find this? Futsu: I’m a huge fan of ego-searching~ As expected, there’s a lot about Yoru~ Usually the vocalist gets the most attention, but between Asaichi and Yoru, well… It’s Yoru, of course. Asaichi: I don’t really get what’s going on, but I do get that I’m being made fun of…

PAGE 2 (middle) 1 Futsu: Let’s just throw in “Sachiko” or something... 2 Kayoi: “Yoru pulled Sachiko close by the waist and whispered into her ear: ‘Sachiko, you mean more to me than the band ever could.’ Then Yoru quit the band and went on to live happily with Sachiko in Hawaii…” 3 Kayoi: He quit the band for her! Futsu: Haha, it’s pretty entertaining, though~ If it were a more famous band, there’d be a ton of these stories, but, you know… We’re still just little nobodies. Kayoi: Futsu, you really shouldn’t be admitting you read these. The writers might stop making them if they find out. Futsu: Nah, it’s totally fine~ Asaichi: What about me? Don’t I have one?

Gyro was kissing your neck, holding you against a pillar in the hayloft of the barn you were all staying at for the night, his hands groping your breasts through your shirt while Johnny was elsewhere. You shamelessly groaned at his touch, but when he attempted to unbutton your pants you grabbed his hand and stopped him.

"What?"

You just smirked at him.

"Hot as this is the last thing I'm gonna do is let your raunchy ass inside of me. Can you even pinpoint the last time you'd even bathed?"

Gyro huffed, not willing to agree with you. Sure he may have run past some rivers and streams while trying to cut time for the race, sacrificing any chances of bathing, but he was still clean enough.

"Last thing I'd want is to get a new disease named after me."

"Hey!"

Gyro pressed his forehead against yours, scowling while you smirked. His face then softened as he held your hand.

"And just what are you gonna do about this?'

He guided your hand down to his crotch, pressing against where his bulge strained against his pants.

You tilted your head, thoughtfully humming.

"I may have a workaround for that."

You pushed him away, going to your bag that you had tossed aside before this little incident. Gyro watched as you kneeled down, staring at your ass as you dug inside. Soon enough you pulled out a container of body cream he'd seen you put on before going to sleep. You crawled closer to him, tugging your bag along as well, kneeling on the ground as you began to work on his gaudy belt.

Gyro grinned, having some idea of where this was going.

"Don't even think about putting it in my mouth."

He huffed.

He did sigh when you released his member from the confines of his pants, even giving a stroke before you pulled away. Gyro laid against the same column he had you against earlier, giving his own cock a rub as looked down at you.

"So what are you gonna do now?'

You just smirked.

You immediately started to unbutton your blouse, taking your time to let it slide down your arms, leaving you in just your riding corset. You could just feel Gyro's eyes on your pushed up cleavage.

Without even looking you proceeded to unlace it from behind, letting it fall free once it was completely untied.

You'd swear he got harder just from the sight of your bare breasts.

You then grabbed your cream, untwisting the cap and dipping your fingers to scoop a sizable dollop of it. After rubbing it between your hands Gyro watched mesmerized as you rubbed it onto your breasts, even noticing when you dug your fingers into your nipples.

When you were done you pushed your breasts together.

"Stick it in."

He grinned that golden smile of his and with a "Nyo Ho" stuck his tip underneath your breasts, shuddering as he kept sliding it in. You just pressed your breasts together even more to get that reaction out of him, Gyro practically drooling.

You then moved your breasts against his cock, rubbing it up and down with them while Gyro panted above you. Soon enough he had to grab your shoulders for support, hunching over as he thrusted into your tits, his tip peaking out of them every now and then.

You gazed up at his face, a bit proud to have turned the usual smugness on it into messy, blushing, desperation. You also pressed your fingers into your nipples for your own pleasure.

Soon you could tell he was getting close, Gyro panting even harder than before. You then held your breasts even more around his cock, loving the whine he let out as you stroked his cock with your breasts. Soon enough Gyro came, his cum flooding the valley between your breasts as you held them together around him.

You released him, Gyro falling back against the column as his legs struggled to keep him standing. You looked down at your chest, thick globs of white running down it.

"Disgusting." You commented as you gazed down at his mess.

You reached into your bag and grabbed a rag, wiping yourself clean as Gyro watched, still enamored.

He then got on his knees and grabbed your hand, stopping you.

"Allow me."

He grabbed the rag and wiped you down, absolutely taking his time as he appreciated the shape of your breasts. You shuddered when you felt him rub the fabric against a nipple, Gyro grinning at the sight. Once you were cleaned Gyro looked you in the eye as he grabbed one of your breasts, biting your lip as he rubbed his thumb into the nipple.

"I think I have a workaround for you too."

Gyro pushed you onto your back, rubbing his palm against one of your breasts as he licked the nipple of the other, you groaning at his touch. As he began to suck at your breast you'd tugged at his hair, practically feeling him smile around your nipple.

Through the heat of the moment you'd swear you could feel his newly hardened cock poking against your thigh, looking over at your cream from earlier.

You still had enough left.

You think since you did Poc Rosie you would ever do Poc Alice? See ages ago ameval (deactivated now RIP) did incredible designs for Alice if she was a poc and since then dipped it broke my heart as Alice being poc was such a good idea like makes sense too contrasts well with skinny white twink Arthur sorry i dont mean to fill up your inbox i was just wondering

I made a few drawings a long while ago but I was so excited to revisit these concepts!! I haven’t been drawing as much digitally so please excuse the goofy photos!!

*I call nyo Arthur “Rosaline” within my art and ideas, I’m very aware that it can be confusing with Rosie also existing 😭😭 I’m trying to think of other names all the time!

I had to dig around a bit to find this one but I sketched my first concept of POC Rosaline during an event! This was a very loose sketch and I didn’t have any concepts or ideas to follow so I didn’t do much with it for a while.

After sitting on the idea for a while I came up with this design, I wanted to keep a lot of parallels while still making her feel like she was her own character! I curse myself for being unable to do detail work, I really want to work more with the jewelry and patterns on her!!

I also made this goof sketch of POC Amelia with the first sketch of Rosaline, I really really like her and I want to make more of her!!! :-)

[doueverwonder]

Stuff About Nyo!Ame Bc Yeah

This is super random and also Ella is not to be confused with Abigail (who is in The Bookseller & The Florist and belongs to @rosethreeart) but is my own interpretation. Some of this is mushy, some of this is serious, some of it is just random preference rambles.

Her name is Charlotte-Ann Elizabeth, when she was little she commonly went by Lottie-Ann; but now usually goes but Ella, a shortening of her middle name.

England still calls her Lottie-Ann and when they're in stupid arguments Lottie-Ann Beth.

(stupid as in like,,, best way to make a pb&j)

Ngl I love the idea of her getting so sick and tired of condescending nicknames/dirty jokes made towards her she just started doing it back.

Speaking of; though I do like thinking about many nations being women instead of men, if I write America as a woman, England, France, Spain, Portugal, Russia, Germany, Denmark, and Sweden all have to stay men. It's required.

At some point during WW2 got up on a table and just straight up walked across it to get everyone to pay attention to her.

She's generally a Lot More Done(TM) than Alfred

Didn't fight in either of the world wars BUT did somehow shoot Ludwig twice, I will not elaborate.

pulled the disguising herself as a man getup for the first few years of the revolution until Gilbert accidentally outed her and all of Congress went "There you are!!!" and made her stop fighting.

François once made a "are you on your period?" joke and promptly almost got himself kicked out of NATO

Matthieu accepts that he won't be able to stop Alfred and hangs back until he gets a call from Al asking for help.

Matthieu accepts that he won't be able to stop Ella and goes running after her anyways bc he knows she won't call him for help.

Is slightly more Work Smarter Not Harder than Al

But will also throw all her brute strength at something without a second thought bc fuck it

Generally more involved with government over military, though again don't think she can't fight. She can and will fight you and win.

[roszabell]

What names in general do you use for your nyo characters?

Hey good question! There are just the nyos i use most often/care about, pretty compliant w most fanon.

Canada: Madeline, Maddie

Prussia: Julia, Jules, Jülchen

France: Vivienne, or Manon-(more countryside, close friends- and family-reserved)

America: Amelia, Mia

Russia: Anya

Lithuania: Ruta, or Dalia-(my own take)

PruCan kid OC (not nyo-related, but have to add my girl!!): Adele

[hanahaki-cure]

YOUR NYO PRUK!!!! God, so incredible!! Really Amazing!! I'd love to hear hcs and how they are with each others kids!! Like I feel julchen would love Leon , mathew and NZ(no idea his canon name) as they would be so reserved like lil Ludwig while struggling with Jack and Alfred cause of all the energy (plus the idea that Alice has all these kids she would never think someone would wanna be with her but Julchen likes her and god

Oh my, thank you for the enthusiastic and sweet reply! Actually, the ship is a bit niche, F/F ships (even Nyo!versions) are even more niche in this fandom, so receiving a reply in the first place makes it a highly unexpected therefore even more pleasant surprise. (❁´◡`❁)

Alright, there're so many HCs going into their Nyo! + parenting dynamics, I need some preface: A lot of Alice's ineraction with her kids is based on @historia-vitae-magistras work about Arthur and his ilk, many HCs about Maria and Ludwig are based on @kisamesopelagic and me gushing over Gilbert's and Ludwig's dynamic. An entire HC vomit going on under the cut.

For Alice, I imagine her to be quiet similar in character to Arthur although more temperamental and prickly since in some periods her being the incarnation of a large empire was strongly questioned which let's her temper flare up. She has to though. Master of hidden quips, insults, and observation of social circles. Now to Maria Julia Beilschmidt, nicknamed "Julchen" only by close friends. (I'm aware that Julchen is Nyo!Prussia's popular fanon name although in German it's a diminutive nickname form for the male name "Julian", rarely for it's female versions. Therefore I accept it mostly as nickname for her middle name, maybe from the times when Elizaveta or Roderich talked to her dismissively to undermine her authority.) Thanks to Nicky's HC, Gilbert's copious mode to work in spite of 23 layers of religious repression is artificially inflating his ego and developing a bit of megalomania, Maria has more self-confidence is actual self confidence. She was handed nothing because of her gender. If she wasn't fighting anyone else, she had to fight within her own ranks for respect to keep her head above water, having learnt that brashness and unapologetically standing your ground keeps her afloat.

In my HC Maria is surprisingly good with kids, to everyone's surprise, even to her own surprise. Ludwig wasn't an accident, he very much was a Prussian project yet Maria couldn't help but to slowly adore that frail, desoriented kid (which increasingly talks for hours about trains). That doesn't mean that Maria is the best parent, she seriously lacks in sensitivity, opens, and emotions. Or to put it differently: "The way to hell is paved with good intentions." A lot of her own expectations on how and who Ludwig should be is packed in her education, all the tools she got for her developement are pushed into Ludwig's hands as a "one size fits all" and "This is how I got big and strong so that must work for you!", no questioning of her methods possible. Fact is, Ludwig is an earnest, hard-working kid yet only in his adult years he realizes that he would've needed the emotional tools of reflection. At the same time, Maria can be really fun. During training she's encouraging, believing that her sibling or kid is the best thing that happened in her life. Oh, and Maria can be child-like. Since she didn't have a childhood (being a military order), playing pranks, fooling around, encouragement for arts and crafts (excuses it with: "This creativity and fine mechanical skills are good for your future career as engineer!") is something she will part-take in. Defends her loved ones like lioness who got previously stepped onto her tail. And does like to listen to children talk, partly because children's tales are so imaginative and fun, partly because she takes kids seriously although not the best at handling any situation which can't be solved with replies like "there, there" or "well, here's the five step way to succeed out of this mess". Alright, now finally, Alice and Maria with their kids: Alice did this to herself, she chose to take on so many projects, she favours, she expects her children to make it on their own. The most sore kid-parent-relationships are probably with Leon and Harry (Singapore). Both, Yao and Shadiq (Malaysia) are furious about Alice deliberately taking in Harry and Leon, leading to weird co-parenting scenarios which make especially Harry, as he's the youngest, quiet nervous. When Maria got involved with Alice was kinda trying to clean up Alice's messes. Not like Alice actually had any non-political messes in her lives, Maria just assumed so because Alice's living style wasn't up to Prussian householding guidelines. (The fights they got into because Maria tried to Kondo Alice's main residence without asking for permission first whereas Alice secretly stashes a lot of memories of her kids.) One of the few welcome additions was Maria setting up entire folders of spreadsheets of appointments, meal plans, and activities for the kids though. At some point Alice and Maria both agree that they can privately interact with each other's kids but any political involvement is taboo. Private interaction include arts and crafts, excursions (Alice always organizes these, the last one Maria lead was a eight hour "Spaziergang" including tents, hiking boots, and some mountain climbing), reading stories, eating together. Whereas Ludwig remains fiercely within Maria's care, things got a bit more relaxed for Alice since Maria has a lot of energy (also the unshakable will) to organize the household as well structuring their daily life properly so the two women have some time left for themselves in spite of all the work. (I could go on for longer what their relationship looks like but this post is already long enough. @____@)

Since the actual parenting situation for Harry and Leon is Alice's personal problem, Maria has a lot of opinions but Alice drew a strict line to not involve a foul-mouthed, "isn't diplomacy another military verbal tactic?!" girlfriend in it too. So, they don't interact much with Maria yet Ludwig can join them on playdates whenever they're in Alice's house at the same time. (@hetahonda and I like to joke how across sea and land Singaporeans and Swiss people are so strinkingly similiar. Is Switzerland the Singapore of Europe, is Singapore the Switzerland of SEA? In any case, hence the reason reason Ludwig gets along well with Harry, he reminds him a lot of cousin Zwingli.) Ludwig and Harry, on the few occasions they meet, are getting along without talking much. They go on exploration walks for bug hunts or play train, all very chill.

Zee, Eleanor, isn't only Alice's favourite, Maria took a strong liking to her too. It might be a bit of a gendered thing since both see themselves in a a resiliant, resourceful, defiant girl (although irony that Alice is the one occupying her). Eleanor, as she only meets Maria on private occassions, considers Maria to be a person lacking in tact or seriousness so she's reluctant to interact with her. This frustrates Maria who tries to explicitly have girl-activities (horse riding, archery, shooting range, what a great girls day!) together. Eleanor developed a strategy to surround herself with her fellow siblings whenever Maria's announced to visit. Funny enough, Eleanor learns from Alfred that Maria is a fearsome foe on the battlefield, leading her troops under an iron-hard regiment. Fun fact, for a while Prussia supported the US-independence movement. So, I would argue that Maria can handle Alfred who stills sees her as former teacher. In return Alfred will for very long time remain a greenhorn thinking too early of himself as a hotshot. Together they love to tease Alice although Maria sometimes reminds Alfred that she considers herself in a higher social rank than him. Considering how Alfred has a Golden Retriever personality, he's a bit hurt that his military idol doesn't think as highly of him as he thinks of her. In any case, after having learnt about Maria's other nature, Eleanor reluctantly respects Maria, even asks her about battle strategy. In a moment of enthusiasm Eleanor babbles about the proud warriors among her people. Ludwig and Alfred get along well. Both get involved in model building, planning to craft crazy machines. It's a cute sight both being busy building intricate machinations, Alfred talking, Ludwig giving barely any response. Anyhow, Ludwig describes Alfred: "Really good bud."

Ok, Jack and Matt. Jack is actually someone with whom Maria struggles. He has a head of his own, attracts accidents and wildlife like a reverse lotus flower. Whereas Alfred seems to be born cafeeinated, he sometimes sees a point in structure. Jack on the other hand could be left entirely on his own, he would end up best friends with any animal meeting him, not getting why everybody's raving so much about social constructs like punctuality, organigrams, or q-tips. While Alice forbade Maria to interact with her education except for helping out with householding chores as well as setting up admittedly helpful daily plans, Maria's impulse is heavily tested whenever she sits next to Jack who tells her all about his wild ravings. Sometimes Jack comes along with Harry and Ludwig for bughunts. Very handy, since within five minutes even the rarest critters run over Jack's hands. Towards Matt Maria is similarly gentle for the same reason she's gentle to Ludwig. Matt is well-raised (something Maria considers very important) while capable surviving the coldest winters, sometimes on his own. Matthew likes to stick to Alfred or Eleanor whenever Maria's in the house yet enjoys her company when she reads fairy tales to the kids, or, unlike Alice, asks about his latest life events.

[alifeasvivid]

I'm just lamenting my own inability to keep up with the times here, but to me, nyo!England is Alice. My neurotic, pattern obsessed brain cannot abide Alfred, Amelia, Arthur and... not an "A" name. It will explode and die.

Also, permit me to lay out my case here (not telling anyone what to do, of course, just for fun)...

I think the names Alice and Arthur have a similar vibe. They are both simultaneously whimsical and traditional. With Alice, you could be talking about your dear gran or your great gran or you could be talking about Wonderland. With Arthur, you could be talking about the old grump who owns the corner grocers or you could be talking about the Once and Future King.

In the same vein, I think the names Amelia and Alfred have their own similar vibe, like they were both popular around the same period in time and bring to mind a similar kind of person. Like if they were the ages people in our modern times associate with those names, they're exactly the type of elderly people who would seem kind and extremely good humored, young for their age, but settled in life, but they'd both have a mischievous twinkle in their eyes that'd let you know they'd done some pretty scandalous and daring things in their day.

[maideninorange]

Whoops, I unfollowed you by accident while trying to send an ask~

Anyway, got any specific queer Len'en headcanons? Or any you like?

(It's fine! I figured it was an accident lol!)

(TW: I discuss sex a little bit here. While there's no real descriptions of the act (and is more just "about sex" than anything), not everyone wants to see that. So feel free to scroll past this one if that bothers ya (I put the section where that starts under a read more). Also, mentions of aphobia and its impacts (resulting in a small incest mention in one section). Fun.)

Due to Len'en's "whatever you like" policy on gender, I don't have too many specific gender and orientation ones. Hell, on the couple drafts I do gender them, I spun a wheel to see what gender the characters were because I found it more fun that way lol.

That's not to say I don't have them though! I've already exposited at length at how youkai approach gender here (TL;DR: Oops, almost all genderfluid!)! But for character specifics...

I generally headcanon Sukune to be romance positive aromantic (and fairly neutral asexual). They aren't against the idea at all if it's someone they are close to wanting it, but as a default baseline they aren't going to be actively seeking either out (nor really put much thought into it beyond that). I like to think they actually find a lot of humans' obsession with "the one true love" to be very confusing lol. ("I have ma friends and I have ma haniwas gyah. What's all da big fuss? And why can't I have more than one, nyo?")

I like to think of both Yaorochi and Saragimaru as aroace. But their exact stances, however, quite differ.

Yaorochi, unbeknownst to even themself, is actually a demi on both counts. They just never really got close enough to anyone to really forge a strong emotional connection before. However, they have been so put off by humans and what they view as a downright debilitating approach to romance and sex alike that they've come to view both as a weakness, even perhaps beneath them. So their realization is bound to be a very rough one...

Saragimaru meanwhile is just flat out romance repulsed. No ifs or buts about it. They have a similar view to Yaorochi above about it, except even worse since their devotion is often misinterpreted by humans as romantic interest ("Ugh, humans and their so called "love". Always making assumptions about me... As if they would know! Like I would ever sully my family name by stooping to that!"). They aren't against relationships though. They actually once had a queerplatonic mate of their own...when they died, they swore off relationships for themself altogether, and devoted themself to their family only ever since. (They are not sex repulsed though. They just don't like it.)

One I find mildly amusing is that I like is of Aoji being allo-ace and Hooaka being aro-allo. The teasing and arguments just kinda write themselves (and drive Kuroji and Hoojiro up a wall) lol.

Finally, I really like transgender Iyozane. Nothing says new you like a new gender, right? Well, that, and I feel it just fits their character pretty well, finding newfound freedom in themself. I definitely see why people like it!
