#IAMP PEI

[nakamopapina]

Did that redraw meme with PEI and Nova Scotia. He looks completely normal while she looks like a demon.

I did draw a version with a caption, it’s down below:

I couldn’t figure out what to use, so I used a potato :')

PEI is known for potatoes, right?

Drew the @project-canada girls as mermaids for Mermay! 🧜🏼‍♀️

[allbeendonebefore]

i decided to open a new blank doc to go at the ruperts land thing from a different angle just for fun and i’m already suffering from scope creep because. yknow. balancing characters all with their own unique histories that i could go super in depth on each but that’s not the point.

so for the sake of avoiding scope creep lets establish what this is and isn’t if i actually ever do bother to do anything about it

- dominion day was about the founding four provinces that Did join confederation AND the two that did Not; likewise ruperts land is about the provinces and territories that came out of the nwt (3 in the 19th century, 3 in the 20th)

- so, back in iamp the ruperts land fam was treated as siblings even though they were never established as such by sherry. this treatment bothers me for a lot of reasons and it’s not a reading that i bring with me because i just feel like its an extension of the Canadian tm view of a place that was full of very different people lumped together for convenience and colonization. i do treat them like found family, sure, but they are ambiguously related because again its. a Lot of different people and cultures that kind of are treated in canadian history as “land we Wanted and land we don’t care about but need to have or else”

- the reason i bring that up is that in nwt’s bio she’s referred to as everyone’s big sister, and you could take that in a literal or a metaphorical sense. i Personally like the idea that part of her character arc was being alone and independent since ‘birth’ and then her like. mellowing out and learning to actually take care of others as she encountered them. so her relationship with NT is completely different from how the others remember her growing up lol, with nunny she is like you’re sure you’re ok? are you eating enough at home? and yukon starts talking about how when she was growing up it was just nonstop chores and occasionally fighting lol.

- i think the central focus of this story is how nwt is hella ambiguous, i don’t think she came into the world knowing who her people were, she knew that there were people like her but they already had meaning. so it’s kind of the story of her getting definition (mostly from others but i think she finds herself too)

- like its also obviously the story of the others but mostly its about her. and how. right after all the drama and politics of dominion day. she was literally. bought. and the others just appeared as part of the package deal. and that sets the tone for all of western and northern canadian politics up to now, and a particularly big elephant in the room is the numbered treaties.

- ALL THIS SAID i know i have a tendency to lose sight of the big picture because i am so invested in this history and its somewhat personal to me so i need to not do a deep dive. i have to sort of imagine it from an outsider perspective too, so the next thing i need to decide is how to tell the story and what questions to answer and what questions that just get hinted at or asked without being directly addressed. one of the smaller ones that still is pretty big is what is the difference between a province and a territory, and while i want to be cynical about it i guess that’s really the root of the story im telling at the end of the day

- i was initially going to do it chronologically and pick up from where i left off with dd but it occurred to me it would actually make more sense to bookend it with more contemporary history, because again Nunny’s relationship with confederation is also entirely different from the rest of rupert’s land. so really i’m also structuring it around her too.

- anyway that’s enough rambling for now shout if you have questions and i’ll do my best to answer. none of this is or should be considered Canon it’s just how i personally view the history so [radical guitar solo] nothing matters! :)

Condensed Milk - A Dirty Money Comic pt 11

[part 1] [part 2] [part 3] [part 4] [part 5] [part 6] [part 7] [part 8] [part 9] [part 10] epilogue: [ x ] [part 12] [part 13] [part 14] [part 15]

aHA bet you weren’t expecting an External Perspective in the form of Annie Montgomery were you? ...I haven’t actually finished writing the next page which I was supposed to do while I was on winter break :’ ) so it might take a little longer than these past few pages.

Notes below

- I think Annie and Ben have an interesting dynamic which i touched on in the dominion day ep for procan. These two Atlantic island provinces both refused to join Canada in 1867; nowadays they are both struggling with aging populations, isolation, etc.

- Likewise I think Annie and Joel have an interesting relationship, they are canonically siblings for one, and having read their histories I think they have a chaotic but loving relationship that might not match the expectation. I think we tend to think of Joel as the party guy and Annie as the traditionalist, and while that may be true in their relationships with outsiders I think Annie is actually the loose cannon of the two that Joel is constantly trying to rein in a little. This is just based on the vibes I got reading about how each of them acquired responsible government, haha. Joel was the favoured imperial child while Annie was the one throwing bricks through windows.

- i am not unaware that Team Steak and Potatoes (AB/PEI) was a huge ship back in the IAMP days I just have no idea how to write it so you’d have to squint pretty darn hard :’ )

- re: annie’s outfit: i think because her day job involves larping as anne of green gables she needs a casual wardrobe that could fit in with the overall aesthetic but without being trapped in it if that makes sense (have i mentioned her internal struggle with hair dye yet?). The fox hat and clip on collar are references to the provincial animal - black and silver foxes were bred for their coats on the island around the turn of the century and I don’t doubt she still has some items trimmed with their fur.

- “slippy” and “been better but it costs more” are apparently both Islander phrases, hope I didn’t make her sound too hokey either. I’ve got to add some dialogue flavour and difference when I can; I can’t do it much for Bert because I already read his voice with High School Alberta Boy accent (a voice i don’t actually really do as his VA oops) and it drives me nuts.

- ‘provinces far younger’ okay paint a target on his forehead why dont you annie

HETALIA - PROJECTCANADA: 150th Canada!

You can view a larger version here: [link] 

This came way too late but here it is! Three days, drawing on a large A3 paper with a pencil and fine-line markers. (This is going to be a pain to colour)

This is Matthew with his 13 Provinces from the IAMP/Projectcanada.  (Provinces are created by @ctcsherry )

There are a few things I like to say… 

Flags and it’s a bad idea to draw them so tiny.

Drawing the Territories flags:

Me: Why must they be so detalied..? At least Yukon’s flag has a pupper

Drawing the Maritimes…

Me: AAARGH I STAND CORRECTED! PEI AND NB WHY?!

Drawing British Columbia’s

Me: cries

Also I added in the flowers because they looked a bit plain without them.

Another photo redraw! With New Brunswick, PEI, and Nova Scotia

I put Marie into a bunny hat.

[nakamopapina]

I did a sequel!

Owen found his Alex and Clover, and Joel found his and Anne’s Sam, (the boys are so happy) much to Anne’s dismay.

For context: New Brunswick was originally going with Nova Scotia, and PEI, but caught something, and didn’t want to spread it around, so Joel was very bummed out about it, until they came across Sask dressed as Sam at Ollie’s Halloween party.

Owen is willing to be civil with Anne for a night, if it means he does look like an idiot. Anne might not be so willing for a temporary truce.

Yes, Ilan did bail on them, maybe he has a good reason?

[nakamopapina]

I recreated this meme from Just Bins (screenshot of their post to the right) they posted this meme back in April, but I wanted to recreate it with the Provinces. It took forever~~~!

I’m so sorry if the jerseys look a bit off.

The chips Sask is eating HAD to be no name brand. Yes, PEI is in the background.

Sask is wearing this shirt that the RCMP Heritage Centre gift shop is selling, that says “DO NOT PET (before coffee)”

[nakamopapina]

I made an animation thingy! This one has no audio though, that is because I have no way to add audio to them. Thus the subtitles.

This is a little party the Provinces are attending. (Owen and Joel no longer trust the punch)

Also, enjoy a lil bit of the dirty moneys.

Annie and Nanook having a short walk in the bush.

Not sure of proper context, but thought it was fun to draw.

Anne is dressed like a proper lady.

[nakamopapina]

Drew this while waiting at the bus stop to go to work today.

It's Nanook telling Anne about a HUGE bug she found. And Anne is using every bit of her energy to not freak out, and to look semi interested.

[nakamopapina]

Drew these while waiting for the bus to go to work today, a drawing of each of the girls.

(BC is supposed to look like she's been through hell and back)

This one is my personal favourite.
