Battles of Lexington & Concord

Something a bit angsty. Arthur thinking he sees a ghost from his past across the battlefield, but it’s just Alfred

King Arthur

Nyo!Scotland

Abigail Kirkland has a straightforward, decisive personality, is an explorer and a pioneer. If she is locked in one place she will become depressed and sad.

Contrary to first impressions, she rarely gets angry. She is much gentler and more altruistic than she appears.

She is good with bow and arrow, has 11/10 eyesight, but usually only shoots people when necessary. Whenever she aimed to shoot at others, she would aim at places that did not pose a danger to life.

Abigail's nickname is Abigail the Virgin, because she made a vow that she would always remain a virgin. She is a close friend of the unicorn herds in the forests of United Kingdom. Unicorns allow her to get close to them because she is a virgin, and her soul is "completely pure".

I tag all my art with #FrUK, because in the default setting of all the worlds in my fanart, France and England is always a pair.

I’m actually cooking up a comic with my states about the continental congress, but I wanted to give some information about Rich/ Virginia beforehand. So lolll see the cut below.

Between the English civil war and other European wars, Arthur did not have time to really get to know his colonies including Alfred (who was originally Plymouth colony). HOWEVER, I think he did meet Rich once cause he was his oldest and one of his more successful colonies

I’m borrowing this aeternus concept from a friend (pirenaia on X)- basically semi immortal personification. There’s a hierarchy. So both parents being aeterni = a really good, half = ok, spontaneous = 🤨. Rich is half (his father is probs Wiltshire in England) whereas Alfred is spontaneous. This is important to note cause Alfred was not the first choice by any means to be their national aeternus

Rich was generally well-liked amongst his peers. He’s charming, a bit of a flirt, favored by Arthur, and down to earth. He actually incites the rest of his peers to partake in the French & Indian war. However like Icarus who flew too close to the sun, Rich flew too close to how much bullshit Arthur would put up with and he was punished accordingly.

From his experience in the French & Indian war, Rich knows he personally doesn’t want to be the main one leading things and tbh Rich considers himself more of a lover than a fighter. However he knows he doesn’t want a heavy New England influence if they are to be independent. So Henry/Massachusetts, who is Alfred’s cousin is going to need to convince Rich that this is not the case

Unfortunately Henry and Rich HATE each other. Rich thinks Henry is a belligerent moralistic asshole, and that he wants Alfred in charge cause Alfred is Henry’s puppet in Rich’s eyes. Henry thinks Rich is a spoilt southern shit. But Henry is willing to put aside whatever feelings he has towards Rich to make independence work.

Alfred! Look at ME!

[France was once expected to join the Commonwealth]

Today I found some interesting information.

As I said in the previous post, I was very surprised to read on 2 wiki pages that France almost joined the Commonwealth. However, in the previous post I was a bit hasty in making the judgment that the UK would not let France join the Commonwealth. In fact, the UK was VERY EXCITED about the idea of ​​France joining the Commonwealth, but…

The whole story is like this: around 1956, France was trying to deal with Egyptian President Gamel Abdel Nasser's desire to nationalize the Suez Canal, so the French prime minister secretly negotiated with the British prime minister to prevent this from happening. In general, the whole Suez Canal affair was a mess and there is nothing to say, but that is not the main point of this post. Here is the main point:

In order to attract Britain to cooperate and tolerate it completely, France proposed an Anglo-French "alliance". Original text: "When the French Prime Minister, Monsieur Mollet was recently in London he raised with the prime minister the possibility of a union between the United Kingdom and France."

British Prime Minister Anthony Eden refused because it sounded too absurd. So Mr Mollet proposed another solution: how about France joining the Commonwealth and swearing allegiance to the King/Queen?

Reading this far, I was like:

???????

In fact, the British Prime Minister was EXTREMELY EXCITED about the proposal for France joining the Commonwealth :D and I think one of the reasons why Britain agreed to participate in the Suez Canal plan was because of this crazy proposal. This is just my personal opinion, that is, Britain wanted to declare the French monarchy for hundreds of years without abandoning it, even putting that wish on the Canadian flag, so the idea of ​​France joining the Commonwealth and swearing allegiance to the King/Queen is no different from Britain's wildest dream coming true :)

But the problem is, the British and French plan in Egypt was not successful. And because of the Suez Crisis, the whole of West Asia became hostile to colonialism, and the US also squeezed the British and French and kicked Britain out of its imperial position. And because the Suez Canal campaign failed, the agreement for France to join the Commonwealth was no longer valid.

This proposal of Prime Minister Mollet was classified as a state secret document, and was only declassified at the beginning of the 21st century. Historians and politicians who read this were shocked.

All of this is summarized from the BBC: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/6261885.stm

Well, this reminds me of something quite interesting in APH.

Do you remember this strip?

Yes, I assure you, the reason Himaruya drew these two as if they were about to get married was because of the BBC article that I just linked above =)))))))))))) because the title of the article was "When Britain and France nearly married" =))))))))))))))))))

However, Himaruya seemed to want to "bend" the event to fit his character setup or something, or because of his point of view, he turned this into a comedy proposal between England and France. The half-joking, half-serious style, France forced England to sign the marriage papers while England flatly refused LOL. Himaruya also didn't mention the Commonwealth agreement.

In my opinion, the "nearly married" part of the British newspaper title does not refer to the Anglo-French union proposed by Mollet as in the APH strip above, but only to the later proposal, that France join the Commonwealth =))))))))))) because the British immediately rejected the idea of ​​uniting the British and French as one, but considered the idea of ​​France joining the Commonwealth very, very seriously. You guys just read the newspaper link above, when the British side received that proposal, they were very excited.

Let's move forward a bit to this year. France was expected to join the Commonwealth and that event was compared by the BBC to "nearly married". In 2024, France became the FIRST NON-COMMONWEALTH country to attend the Changing of the Guard ceremony at Buckingham Palace, British soldiers guarded the Élysée Palace and French soldiers guarded Buckingham Palace. Make sense yet?

Ps: at the end of the BBC article, the author did not forget to mention the EEC ha ha ha ha.
