just out of curiosity i went and sorted my fics into four canon-compliant-ness buckets:

29 fics are canon-compliant

9 fics are post-canon

9 fics are canon-divergent

4 are full non-canonverse AUs

"canon-compliant" means it doesn't "disrupt" canon and is basically a missing scene type of thing; post-canon is what it says on the tin, for given value of what would have been "post" the canon at the time; canon-divergent means a full deviation starting at some canon point in time; and non-canonverse AU is also what it says on the tin. it's very funny to see that the non-canonverse stuff was all written within, like, a year or so? and one of these is kind of like... alternate canonverse... so clearly i realized VERY quickly what i actually like to write lmao

the long and short of this is that last year i really rediscovered my love of canon divergence when i squeezed a P vs NP sequel out of myself somehow and i am always on the lookout for any other interesting cracks i can shove my grubby little paws into

Government Employees: Anticipated Pension Growth with UPS

Government employees switching to the Unified Pension Scheme (UPS) can hope to see a significant increase in their pension, as the government’s contribution is set to increase from 14% to 18.5%. A calculation done by the UTI Pension fund shows that the increase will be around 19% for those who join on a monthly salary of Rs 50,000 and see an annual rise of 3% with their corpus seeing a…

Unified Pension Scheme: How does it differ from the Old and New Pension Scheme?

The story so far: Fulfilling a long-standing demand of government unions, the Centre on Saturday (August 24, 2024), unveiled a new ‘Unified Pension Scheme’ (UPS) assuring government employees half their last drawn salary as a lifelong monthly benefit. The UPS, which has been approved by the Union Cabinet, has several other features benefiting pensioners, such as a periodic dearness relief hike in…

NP-COMPLETENESS - The Secret Link Between Thousands of Unsolved Math Problems

[fr-thrice]

I finally made my wolves :] their names are Fern and Thorn (both she/her). I'm still figuring out how this game works, it's so much new things. The packs are confusing to me and I can't find much lore to read to understand it. I joined Murkwood but may move to Darkspine or something. Idk, none of them particularly spoke to me.

Here's what I've considered so far: Fern has fended for herself her whole life by wandering between territories; she is cautious, self-sufficient, and not keen on making friends. With her dark coat she easily blends into the undergrowth; however, she was still somehow discovered by Thorn. Thorn has had difficulty finding a home to stay in, and is determined to prove her worthiness to Fern. If they work together, they could defend their own territory!

I beg thou to share any Inkmare or Yuri Inkmare Headcanons thine has…

I need to feed my Inkmare religion/addiction

/np /silly

Cracks knuckles OF COURSE

Inkmare in general™:

1. Before kissing, Nightmare actually has the habit to hold Ink by the scarf because Ink used to disappear on him just before the kiss happened (yea he wasn't too happy on being left hanging)

2. Ink actually paints Nightmare some clothes and accessories. He's currently trying to paint cloth that repels goop just so Nightmare can have some color on his design

3. Nightmare legit thinks Ink is clever. Part of why they fit so well is because they actually find each other interesting. 90% of their time together is spent yapping at each other about stuff

4. Nightmare is the one who flirts the most. Fancy flirting. Ink usually is able to ignore it/let it slide up until Nightmare gets too insistent with it (Ink's forced to take it and legit gets somewhat embarrassed). In comparison, Ink almost never flirts unless he says it jokingly/he's high on pink (it's somewhat effective)

5. Ink's the one that initiates casual contact the most, though Nightmare does like to hug Ink by the waist once they're close enough

6. Nightmare got conditioned into liking the way paint tastes and smells. Canonically within the inkmare. He says it in an unserious tone but it's a thing that happened

7. Ink has an ongoing bit where every time he catches Nightmare fixing/taking off his jacket he does an ambulance sound (nm stares at him very hard every time)

8. They have a daily kiss quota of 3

9. Ink doesn't get jealous. At all. Nightmare gets jealous but he usually discards it quickly. He does give bitter stares, though

As yuri the inkmare goes practically the same except they do get official faster... for some reason. I just know it's a thing™

10. Early on relationship Ink got a "oh no I DO love him" phase where he just stayed inside the Doodlesphere without seeing anyone vs Nightmare whose love realization got him scheming

11. They like to mess with each other. A lot. They have an ongoing thing where they try to embarrass each other as much as possible.

Gonna post my thoughts on the Hetalia Nations Revealed AU. Always a fun one to chat about. (￣▽￣)

We call it an AU but it’s actually pretty accurate. The part about nation-people not being a secret, I mean. I recently reread the webcomic and canon leans into NPs being public knowledge. Obviously their bosses are aware of them, but there’s lots of strips where NPs interact with members of the public as well. There are strips starring humans who don’t recognize their NP (that one soldier in France, Lisa, Davie, etc.) but they’re fewer in number. We all know Heta-canon is flexible so, for this post, I’m coming down on the side of “people know.” Here’s how I headcanon it all working:

Nation-people are common knowledge to the extent it would be really weird if you met someone who wasn’t aware of them. It would be like talking to a guy and he says he’s never heard of religion. Like, any religion. In the whole world. Not even the concept of it. You’d be all: “Whaaa?? Man, how?? Did you grow up under a rock?” It’s like that for NPs.

NPs are more than human and so aren’t too bothered by us. In a nice way. They still love their citizens but it’s not a relationship between equals. More benevolent demi-deities existing alongside the mundane. This is where I differ from some interpretations of this AU, I think. I can’t see the NPs as being weak and helpless around their people. They’re partially representations of the Earth itself and nature is much stronger than humanity. Like that panel where Francis was getting harassed by historians? Only happened because he allowed it. NPs let humans get close to them when they choose, but they can lose them if they wish. That’s what France did when he’d had enough. The historians blinked and he was just gone. Slipped away like a breath of wind. Leaving two very disappointed academics to continue their argument, lol. The only exceptions are their bosses. NPs have to obey any direct order given by them.

Have to, have to. Compelled in the old fae-like way. NPs are completely under the control of whoever’s running their country. The one who has the final say is the head of state, but they can and do delegate if someone else holds the true power. Kiku directly obeys his emperor, for example, but the emperor obeys Japan’s Diet. So the Prime Minister gives Kiku his orders through their symbolic ruler. If a country’s government is overthrown then that control passes to the new ones in charge. NPs don’t get any choice in the matter, sadly for them. When an NP starts obeying the “other side” then the writing’s on the wall that the regime change has succeeded.

They aren’t considered fully human and so don’t have the same rights and privileges we do. I’d imagine there’s been many high profile court cases about stuff like this in the modern era. Just what an NP can be ordered to do by their bosses before it becomes abusive, how culpable they are for crimes committed by their nations, etc. “The Nation of [x] vs. Nation-Person [y] in the case of Historical Crime(s) [z].” I don’t think much would have been accomplished over the years, lol. No country is going to let their NP go to a foreign prison. Plus the NPs always have the “magically compelled” defense to fall back on. So no progress, just lots of debate. NPs are considered somewhere between guardian deities, ordinary people, and “things” in the broader public consciousness.

Yes, they have social media. No, it has not always gone well. I bet after a few instant-major-historical-event cases of careless and/or hot-tempered NPs calling their bosses assholes on twitter, NP accounts were mass nuked. They were reinstated only after their bosses gave them loooong lists of subjects they weren’t allowed to talk about. Afterwards their posts were all fluff about hobbies and personal interests. Doesn’t stop foreign governments, economists, gossip channels, NP enthusiasts, and curious people combing through every tweet, post, and video to try and guess what the NPs are “really” talking about. So many conspiracy theorist channels, oh god. Even thinking about it is making me tired. 😂

NPs have two homes: a work address and a personal one. The former is usually located in their capital and is either where their boss lives or close by. So Alfred has a home at the White House, Arthur has one on Downing Street, etc. However most NPs don’t consider these their real homes and only spend time there while doing government work. Ordinary, if nice, houses and apartments out among their people is where they like to live. These can decorate them to match their personalities the way they can’t official residences. They use their power over the land to make sure no humans can find these sanctuaries unless the NP wants them to. Stops NPs being swarmed by paparazzi, tourists, and fans 24/7.

De-anoning to say it was me that sent @forsoobado137 the money ask. So just repeating what I said there. All countries put their NP’s face on their money. Along with the state’s name, the NP’s human name, and a picture of the actual land they represent. The money can have other famous people on it too, just on the other side. Governments have been doing this since money was invented and some of the only surviving visual records of ancient NPs are pictures on coins.

Any human being knows an NP and the country they represent just by sight. Unless it’s somewhere they’ve never heard of. Then all they know is that they’re looking at a nation-person. I imagine it would be considered a huge faux-pas to let it slip you don’t know an NP’s country name. Like telling a Holywood A-lister you don’t know who they are at a red carpet event. 😭

NPs have many default jobs, mostly related to their governments. One of them is being in their nation’s armed forces. They’ve always done this ever since the first age of empires. They even led armies and were seen as good luck charms in the past. Soldiers tend to make up the bulk of the humans the NPs remember most fondly. The relationship between Francis and Joan of Arc is one of the best known historical examples. Whether an NP actually enjoys their time in the military depends on their personality. Which is in turn influenced by how warlike the actual country is and has been. If your NP falls in battle, it’s one of the worst war omens possible.

Speaking of death, I headcanon that NPs can die from illness or injury. Or at least their human bodies can. They’re tougher than we are, but not unkillable. They’ll come back so long as the nation itself survives. True death for an NP is reserved for when the civilisation they represent stops existing. If an NP dies in a foreign country, they’ll crumble to dust and regenerate somewhere deep in their heartlands. The place they were originally “born” from the earth. Only a select few very high up in government know the location of their NP’s birth/rebirth place. This also happens if they die on home soil and their body is destroyed. If they die at home and their body is okay, they’ll heal and wake up after a few hours. If the country isn’t doing well it takes longer for its NP to come back.

Speaking of countries not doing well: NPs get sick either when their economies go bad, or when there’s an epidemic among their citizens. A lot of European NPs can chalk some of their early deaths up to the Black Death. When an NP get “depressed” it’s code for a financial fever. Nothing can be done but keep them comfortable until the economy picks up.

Hetalia is so fun to post about, my god. Such a prime series for theories and headcanons. You feel me, gamers?

jason with a hung horse cock will always be real to me ꒰ ᐡ ´͈ ᐜ `͈ ᐡ ꒱

its so heavy on your tongue n in your stomach. he just needs to bottom out to the hilt n you’ll start spouting nonsense or mumble it through the stretch of his dick in your mouth. as he goes quiet n lets you ramble because you look so cute. slow grinds into your cunt n you cum. as he pulls out n back in with a tilt to his hips n you claw his biceps while you squirt all over his stomach

need feral pent up jason to wrap my hair around his hand n pull me back on his dick while he’s sayin shit like “such-a-good-fucking-girl-fuckfuckfuck” between thrusts. need him getting mad when i whine about how hard n deep he’s giving it to me making him go even harder “shut your dumb little mouth, pussy ‘s cryin for me down here don’t be a baby” i need to be sedated

imagine him coming back to you from his missions, his personal cock sleeve that he found one day n kept so he can use you whenever he want. him still wearing his mask n suit n letting him release his frustrations out on you, you have no other purpose other than being his cumdumpster that enjoys being used like a dirty mutt

P vs NP

no quarter

my tag for rvb art on this blog goes back over ten years and there's much more art i made in the years before. there isn't a single year in my archive that didn't have at least one rvb post. i came to tumblr to be a hipster blog; rvb is the series that pulled me into "modern" fandom after i wasn't really involved in fannish things for a few years back in the dark ages. i didn't draw for a few years in there, either. it's kinda funny to be like "welp bye rip" because rvb has been pretty dead to me for a few years now* but it's also honestly so deeply foundational to who i am now that it sort of can't ever really be dead to me. i've met the overwhelming majority of my closest friends through rvb, either directly making friends in the fandom at large or through a six degrees of separation friend-of-friend-who-likes-RT kind of deal. i spent yeeeaaaarrrs of my life working on P vs NP and i still can't let it go! some of you have been here for TEN YEARS with me. idk. it's been real. thanks
