[genlosscharliie]

Your Kazakh SSR design is so so cute… any chance of other SSR kid designs?

for you, anon: the main four and also the only ones i can imagine being soviet’s kids in any context, in winter gear (& some bits from their cultures). this is completely contradictory to my hcs but they turned out somewhat cute. i considered adding east germany & north korea to this but got tired before i could incorporate them into it

HEAD OF FALSE SECURITY MASTERLIST

synopsis: The Soviet Union has been producing robots for a long time based on a miracle compound: polymer. But that was invented in 1941. The current year is 2038, and, due to rising tensions in the Arctic, Americans aren't as kind to Soviets as they once were. It's too bad you're a russki, and it's really too bad that you work in cybersecurity. And honestly, with the case Fowler has put you on, you're at risk of losing your job. It doesn't help that you're stuck with Lieutenant Hank Anderson and some new android apparently called Connor.

A Detroit: Become Human AU with elements from Atomic Heart (2023), in which the international political climate is a bit different and more prominent within the story. The Soviet Union still exists, and she's threatening America by proxy of her invasion of the Arctic.

Hello, I recently returned to this fandom, and I saw your ay, but to be honest, I didn’t quite understand what was going on in it. Could you please tell me in a nutshell?

Sorry to bother and thank you

No worries I get it! I disappear and come back randomly and I’ve never really solidified anything.

The basic thing of this AU is that instead of the USSR collapsing in December of 1991, I changed up a bit of history so the USSR had the chance to take over the USA. The Berlin Wall fell a few years earlier so Germany had the chance to reunite. China and the USSR never had a falling out.

Essentially this AU follows what would happen if the Soviet Union took over America. But in the context of Country Humans. So I’m definitely taking a lot of liberties so I can characterize them a bit more. This AU takes CH into the context that they actually exist among humans and are big political powers with ties to the existence of the land. Mostly so I can have fun and not be super worried about IRL context

[doomspiral]

CTA: ongoing hellfic about being some kind of guy in the soviet union but worse

CH survival guide: Shipping

Hello fellow countryhumans fan!

Whether you’re a brand-new fan or a hardened veteran, you’ve most likely come across a “ship.”

(You probably already know this, but in case you don’t, here are quick definitions:

• a “ship” is a shorter way of saying “relationship”

• “shipping” refers to the practice of creating these relationships

• “shippers” is used to refer to people that indulge in shipping)

Now, with that out of the way, you might be wondering; what the hell does this have to do with anything? That’s what I’m here to discuss.

Countryhumans is a wacky fandom, this is no secret. The wackiness comes from the lack of “true canon”. CH is not based off any TV show, movie series, book, or anything of the matter. The only “canon” is history, and even then, history can change depending who you ask. Therefore, almost everything you see coming out of this fandom is essentially HEADCANONS, because there’s no such thing as canon in this hellhole.

However, the lack of canon doesn’t mean you can do whatever the hell you want, no. These are still countries, personified as they may be. So, here are a few rules/guidelines that I would recommend you to follow.

___

No.1: KEEP SOME HISTORICAL ACCURACY

• It doesn’t make sense to ship two countries that have no connections whatsoever.

• This also includes tensions, rivalries, and conflicts, which I will go more in-depth on for number 2.

-

No.2: BE MINDFUL OF SITUATIONS

• This refers to tensions and conflicts of their time. With these situations, countries should NOT be shipped.

Some modern examples of ships that should not sail:

• Israel and Palestine

• Russia and America

• Romania and Hungary

Some historical examples of ships that should not sail:

• Soviet Union and America

• United Kingdom and Soviet Union

• Soviet Union and Third Reich*

(NOTE: It is possible at the start of wwii, BUT before you start celebrating, I need you to read number 3!)

-

No.3: DYNAMICS!!!!!!!!!

• This is one I don’t see talked about very often, so it’s especially important that you listen, because the dynamics of a ship can absolutely affect how good or bad it is.

• This means keeping things realistic to the characters and their situation, which ties in with no.1 AND no.2. Think to yourself: “Would these two ACTUALLY be an ‘uwu soft boy x big strong man’ type of relationship?” Because 99.998% of the time, the answer is “ABSOLUTELY NOT, WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU OH MY G-”

____

SO, HOW DO I APPLY THIS?

Well, here are some questions you can ask yourself that apply to these guidelines.

• “Would they know each other?”

• “Do they have a friendly/non-hostile relationship in this time period?”

• “Is their dynamic realistic?”

If you can say yes to all of these questions, then you’re probably good to go!

BUT…

A FEW THINGS TO REMEMBER:

• Some people will not ship the same things you do; and that’s completely OK! Some people don’t like shipping AT ALL; and that’s also completely OK! Certain ships, or shipping as a whole, might not be for them.

• Remember to BE RESPECTFUL; don’t attack anyone if they have different opinions or preferences.

• Most of this stuff won’t affect you much IRL! Digital footprint might be real, but employers and colleges won’t really care if you post cringey art or fanfics. A LOT of other people have posted similar things, if not worse. So, unless you posted something REALLY depraved (I’m talking borderline/full on criminal shit), you’ll probably be just fine if you use another email or phone number for your school/work.

With all this being said, have a wonderful day/night!

Ah, the Soviet as a dad post. I think the reason it took me so long to actually make it is less because it's a complicated subject (it really isn't) and more because I was unsure how to word this in a way that couldn't be misinterpreted. 

But let's be honest here... Who gives a shit? CH is a fandom with no strict canon (outside of maybe basic geography and history), so you're supposed to do whatever you feel like. And this is what I'll do. Hope you find this at least half as interesting as I do! :) I haven't been able to say everything I wanted to, but I didn't want to repeat myself too much, lol.

So first things first, there is one very important thing to consider when it comes to how Soviet acts just in general:

He's very, and I mean very, dedicated to the communist cause and follows strict party guidelines even to the detriment of other things.

And that was actually the reason he ended up being a father at all. Following orders even if he felt himself unable to. Because Soviet was always a person who fared well on the battlefield - not in real social life. He was a soldier and a believer in the message, but he never really saw himself as anything else, which excluded the thought of caring for another human being from his mind.

Basically, he didn't want to be a father. But due to the pressure from his government to take in Russia and later the other incarnations of the members of the Union, he did it. To his - and, to be honest, their - detriment.

Now, do I think he was a bad father? Eh, not really. Do I think he was a good father? Eh, not really.

Soviet wasn't the kind of guy to willingly treat children badly, much less his own. He didn't hit them (in fact, the Soviets were very adamantly against child abuse even in the early aughts, so refer to the point I made earlier), and to be honest, I don't think he even ever yelled at them.

His main problem was always emotional distance - something that wasn't reserved for his children, as he was like that with everyone. That's still a problem when you have people depending on you, though. Sure, you can provide for their physical and social needs, but being emotionally unavailable will always leave a mark. And like I said, that wasn't something he had just for his kids, you'd be very hard-pressed to find even an adult country he was close to.

And with the "favoritism" thing. As much as I understand where the view comes from, at least from the way I view it, he would never, ever in a million years, have a favorite child. Do you really think a person so absolutely hellbent on the principles of equality would rank people in his mind, especially those who depend on him? The thought comes from the fact that he was close to Russia, but then you have to remember that Russia was literally the first child he took care of. One on one, even. Which would've allowed for a more personal connection than any of the other thirteen. (Also, Russia literally ran after his father every moment of the day, so yeah, they would've been around each other often).

Of course, that's not to excuse subpar parenting behavior. It seemed that the guy picked favorites, he did have the children he was closest with, and it was his own damn problem to fix because he's an adult. Even if he's the picture of having interpersonal problems, it was his responsibility to make it not so.

But then, I think I would also have to say that in the wider communist sphere of the time, East Germany and North Korea would have to be his favorite countries because he was the nicest to them (because they were children). I just don't think it's fully that simple.

Anyway, I guess the thing about him being a father is just that it's more complicated than it seems. I have dedicated an inordinate amount of thought to this man, so I hope you understand what I mean, lol. But if not, I can always clarify.

That will be that for now, thanks for reading. :)

And yes, I'm coming out as a member of the CH fandom. I am not one of those people who ships the Soviet Union with Nazi Germany; I am just in the fandom.

Pardon the bad quality of the image. I am a 14-year-old and I took this photo on a potato. Beggars can't be choosers I guess :/
