I feel like England has kind of lost the dread and fear they once felt when America's birthday comes up. Thanks to France and other countries basically giving em some free-range therapy and consoling England only sulks for 2 days instead of the whole month of July.

Though America comes across as completely oblivious to this fact, I think they are very VERY aware of this. Like during the party for America's birthday, they like pull England aside just to say that they are the best parent a little colony could've asked for despite all the trouble. It makes England cry rivers and they spend the whole night crying to France about their favorite little bastard child.

England always feels the need to spoil America on their birthday, getting them something they know America will feel a deep connection to.

England then will say something along the lines of "Well, I know what you actually like, so I thought this would be meaningful." And it makes America feel a bit emotional. They don't show it to the crowd of other countries but the moment that America and England are alone 100% America is going to break down a little.

More practice and character design,1950s Nyo America this time.

Since fashion in the 1950s is designed for older women, I feel like she looks at least 10 years older than her actual physical age.

One 1920s version and one 1930s version to finish, then they could become a set!

Ok yes America hating the cold is funny (eh) BUT. have you considered that I like the imagery of an America sitting alone in the forest in the bleak mid-winter landscape of an east coast woods, all alone in both body and mind, agonizing over her seeming doom to be stuck in the throes of loneliness for all eternity?

Some Sketches of Cat boy Poland, Nyo America, and a silly EngPol art. Feliks definitely counts as an emotional support animal. don't ask questions.

(Character concepts for the Umbrella Academy AU)

1- Yao. Can teleport, regenerate, and manipulate time. Holds first position as he is most likely to last longest in the field.

2- Ivan. Super Strength and Frost. Second due to his seemingly cruel streak to his enemies, bravery, and kindness towards the innocent. Bloodthirsty. Do not anger.

3- Arthur. Pyrokinesis, temperature resistance, and explosions. Temperamental; figuratively and literally. Would be a good contender with first as he is both smart and cunning, however he does not play well with others.

4- Kiku. Quick Draw, Weapon master, trajectory manipulation, and lightning fast reflexes. Keeps to himself most of the time. Good for a variety of situations but his siblings make it hard for him to join the fray without risk of injury.

5- Ludwig. Clairvoyant, seems to have a "permanent" ghost who is particularly fond of him. Other powers--if any--unknown. Peculiar case indeed...

6- Feliciano. Super Speed. A bit...empty-head, but good-natured. Well suited for rescue missions and evacuations. Not a good fighter. Cowardly. My personal favorite.

7- Matthew. UV and Air particle manipulation(?); can make things invisible, create illusions, and create shields. Can Fly? Unknown as he is afraid of heights. Easily forgettable. I think he does this on purpose.

8- Abigail. [̴͔͎̙̮̩̅̐͑̒̀͑̃́̆̍̕͝͝R̴̡̼̝̲͕̝̅̔̔̾͂̎̀̐̋͝Ȩ̴̱͇̞̙̥͇͎̯̮̀̋̾́̿̅̽̾͂̃̒̐̀D̵̢̯̱̖̪̥̰̮͇̻̩͒̐́̿̔̄͝Ȃ̸̧͙̙͙̺̹̣̩̻̮͇͆̂̔͂̈́̅̾̂̍͊̀͜ͅC̶̨͇̄Ţ̵̯̲̹̣̮̯͍̼̠͚̭̽̈́͛̎͜E̵̫̥̻͆̒̈́̚D̸͚̺͉͚̯̮̰̃͑̂̏͘]̴̒̉̀��̮̩̺̘̩͔̩̙͈͊̈̓̽ Normal. Nothing of note; Average at best, burden at worst.

Does Lars get jealous of Alvaro, or vice versa?

Abby: If anything they have a playful and friendly "rivalry" But....

Abby: Nations don't really conform to typical relationship dynamics *shrugs*

The following is an expanded thought/rant on Nyo!America. I made a shorter version yesterday but wanted to expand it.

Warnings: mentions of neglect, abuse, period typical attitudes and behaviours, colonization, imperialization, civil war, Spain, WW1, Great Depression, WW2, Cold War, the '90s and early 2000s. Basically, if it was a major event I touch on it through the lens of the possibility of Nyo!America.

The fun idea about nyo!America existing in the same universe where it is basically the same but it’s Nyo!America is just how much would have changed for her. Personally her.

In general Alfred was able to do what he wanted, frolicking in the fields of the Midwest and avoid work? Yeah, he could do that. Go up and visit his brother for weeks at a time? Just leave a note. Start an international incident by punching Russia? That can be resolved. Have a sloppy public image? What are you going to do? Oppose him? Alfred can do more or less whatever he wants. Sure he struggles and I'm not invalidating those struggles, but it is a different font of struggle.

Nyo!America [whatever name you want to use because all names are cool and I have my own headcannon names.] Would have to work constantly to be taken seriously and to be seen as an equal. As a colony she was mostly neglected as a second thought by the English/British government. She would be constantly have been having to prove herself and be self sufficient. England would have not seen her as a threat. After all she was a small female nation. What could she possibly do against the British? When starting the revolution no one would believe in her. There were so few female nations to begin with in a high standing. The ones in Europe were under the flag of someone else. Everyone thought it was going to fail. Than the Americans started proving that they could do it, nations started supporting her. She got her freedom, but there was still the feeling that this would just be a shirt term thing. She would have to keep proving herself. After all she just proved them wrong already, they were going to be wrong about everything else.

The Articles of Confederation didn't work, and people thought this was going to be the end. This is just another point as to why female nations couldn't do all that much, and why, historically, many empires were better off with male representatives.

Nyo!America pushes on. Most of her bosses doubt her ability to some level. Even the ones who don't treat her poorly still doubt her. She can't take breaks, and she can't skip town for weeks because it will be held against her. She's doing paperwork, meeting and greeting officials, reading books and taking classes from paid tutors. She has to be because if she doesn't then they will find something wrong with her.

Her manners are top-notch, she learns the customs of other places, and learns greeting and pleasantries in other languages. She has to be the best at everything. So what if she skipped sleep here or there? She still has work to do.

Nyo!America would in a bit of spare time get to know her people. If she can find out where things within her country are lacking she can try to help. These are the people she represents and she wants to be the best place for all of them. She knows all of the flaws within her nation like the stories engraved in her skull, but she has to keep trying. Where she can try and help with things she does, but no one will take her seriously.

She learns early that most of these people won't take her skill and knowledge seriously unless she forces them. Everyone has something to keep and no one expects a lady like her to figure them out or use them against them. She does. So what if she has to blackmail a bit, so what if she had to threaten a couple of big-headed men who won't take her knowledge until given no other choice. So what if she has to use some underhanded ways that would make some weary. She is doing everything she can.

The Mexican-American war. She didn't want to fight Mexico. She was the only other female nation she knew. They had each other’s backs in the world of male nations. There was still a war and she had to prove herself. She didn't have the standing to oppose it all. She lost her friendship with Mexico. She hated the people in charge for a long while, but she couldn't say anything. How could she when they were waiting for a chance to throw her out? She writes essays of apologies to Mexico for years. For decades. They don't get along all the time, but they both understand the pain. They might not be buddy buddies, but they were still two female nations in the sea of male nations. If push came to shove they personally have each other’s backs.

The nation is divided and America was to kneel over in pain. She wants to lie in bed and scream, cry, and shut down. She can't. They won't take her pain seriously. She's just a woman. She stands up and fights. She fights for her people, the ones who can get their long-needed freedom. She's still in pain, but she will smile through it all if it means more of her people will be free.

There are still problems, still, people who deny rights, but she is doing the damn best she can to help.

She's a regional power, her wealth is growing and flocks of people are moving. She is proving them all wrong. The old world still scoffs at her and isn't taking her seriously. Some are mad at her for 'taking' their people. Not all of them. Some of them are starting to see the writing on the wall. Their respect for her is growing. She broke the glass ceiling just for it to be replaced by another. She will keep working at trying. She can't stop now. When she shows up for diplomatic meetings they still are looking for something to criticize her about. Maybe her clothes are a trend out of date, her accent is slightly off, she doesn't remember a custom. She keeps up. It's becoming harder to find something to hate about her with. She stays out of their buisness they stay out of hers.

Her country has 'territories' now. Hawai'i, Cuba, Philippines. She didn't really want them. She just wanted the Europeans out of the new world. She was done playing games with them. She was done sucking up all the time, she was in a position to demand them to leave. She went to war with Spain. One of the most feared nations in the new world. The one who burned it all to the ground. The one who had erased cultures and lives like the dust of a mantelpiece. ('Annoying and in the way) she won. But then instead of giving freedom her government took territories. Wasn't enough. The friends she made were now her colonies just with a more pleasant-sounding name.

She tries but nothing is being done.

Europe starts another war. She rolls her eyes and goes back to her stack of work. Europe I always at war. It was at war before she was around, has been at war before and will continue to be. She doesn't really have a side to pick. There are a lot of immigrants from all over so picking a side for yet another European conflict feels stupid.

Europe's war has been making her money. She has the biggest economy. People are being mowed down by machine guns. The telegram comes. The Germans were trying to start a new front in North America. A repeat of the Mexican-American war. Her country goes to war and she ships out with her soldiers to Europe.

The war is over and she hated every moment of it. She sent letters back to Mexico because she needed to talk to someone. They still don't get along all the time but she doesn't think she could ever fight a war against Mexico ever again.

Europe is being greedy again. They are creating a future problem with how they are handling this. Of course who would listen to her? Apparently not Europe who still thinks they are knowing wise for having a couple centuries of existence over her. She tries to help but there is only so much that they can do.

She allows herself a break. Finally, a chance to unwind. Of course, the government does something stupid. Banning alcohol is going to cause more problems than it fixes. She does participate in some underground activity because the government is stupid sometimes(a lot) and she just came back from trench war hell.

The economy crashes and the world seems to be going to hell. Her people are suffering and the news from Europe looks dark. Why are they ignoring it? She doesn't say anything. She has more problems than worrying about Europe.

War. Europe is at war again. She saw this coming. She wrote to England and France about it when she saw it. They disregard her again. Japan attacked and this war seems darker than before.

Hypocrites. All of them are hypocrites. Her government, England's, France's. All of them. She could list every time another government pulled some of this. It was in a different century, in a different time. It's what her brother said. She rolls her eyes but moves on, she has Russia to deal with now.

America will be less likely to admit this now, but she really only wanted to be left alone. Maybe not her government, but she wanted to be left alone. Going tor to toe with Russia was exhausting. She was paranoid and couldn't take any chances. If she failed no one would believe in her again. She worked hard for her spot in the world and she would be damned if that got taken away. Her officials don't like her new ideas, and don't like how she was siding either those who wanted to end the conflicts in the cold war. They saw that as weak. Just another womanly feature to belittle. She just rolls her eyes. She has power and the ability to speak back now.

Of course, every day is new paperwork, more issues, more help me here, stop helping me. Pay back money. She is trying. Trying. Trying. Trying.

She is the centre of it all and yet they still hold up their noses in their centuries-old bigotry of superiority. She's got this.

----

She mellows out. She calms down because she can afford to. Not all the time, but she can. Slowly some of them forget just how powerful she is. That's fine. They can forget. She knows how powerful she is. She knows where she Excels. She won't lord over anyone, because why should she? She worked hard for where she is, and she broke all expectations and then some.

Nyo!America at least in my eyes would be the perfect version of America. It was such a missed opportunity. Truly unfortunate that few others see it. Oh well, rather are missing out on a cool story.

[numberonemisandrist]

THINKING about culture and history and how culture changes throughout history into something our ancestors wouldn’t be able to recognize and something we can’t imagine living without, but it’s fine, because we don’t have to, we live only in our present, we have the culture and the growth we are familiar with and nothing else. but NATIONS can’t. the nations have to live with these changes and accept and reconcile with them in order to keep going, keep being one with their people.

Anyways all this to say, I’m imagining sick and twisted thoughts about America experiencing the radical shift from the fat=good mentality we had in the 16th-20th~ centuries to the fat=evil mentality we’ve had since.

The first time England tells her she could stand to lose a few pounds, it glues her to the floor, she freezes. The moment burns itself into her brain, worming its way into deep recesses she didn’t even know about. Even today, a hundred years later, she can still see the memory play out in front of her, clear as day. It haunts her every waking moment at times because

When did it change? When did it suddenly become wrong for her to look fed and strong and powerful? When did everything change, and what was she doing that she didn’t even notice?

And she spends decades fighting for that sense of control back, thinking that if she can just keep herself thin, keep herself how her people want, she’ll never be caught off guard again, she’ll never look around and realize everything is different and she has no clue what to do about it.
