Recently got dragged back into the fandom and I like your take on the reveal stuff! I always had a soft spot for em, and I was wondering what other headcanons you had for America? Or maybe if you see him as this unshippable character that's just a bro to everyone lol
America was literally MADE for fame. He loves making public appearances, being on TV, and posting on social media. He's always doing something crazy, whether it be climbing the Statue of Liberty, or trying to build a rocket in his backyard.
America makes all kinds of posts. They usually involve memes, comics, superhero shows, dangerous stunts, or jokes about trending topics. His instagram is a mix between "Official pictures", gym pics, parties, and selfies with other nations. Whenever he posts a picture with England, it's a common trend to find England's POV on his instagram and compare the two contrasting attitudes.
He also has a cooking series on YouTube and Tiktok (That Canada usually co-stars in). It's basically become a matter of "Which foreign dish will he bastardize this week?" He's a good cook, but everything he makes is extremely American. A lot of his other videos involve him trying to rope Canada into trying a dumb challenge together. America also does viral dances. He thinks those videos are popular because people like his dance skills. But they're actually popular because he's a hottie. He's completely oblivious to that fact.
America is so meme-ified that it's a little jarring to see him carrying out official duties. There are some people who tweeted stuff like "Why is Alfred with Obama?!" before realizing he's literally the NP and not just a funny American dude. I imagine this has always been the case, like when America fought in WWI, people were like "Oh damn I see you".
As for your last sentence, you're kinda right 🤣 I personally see him as aromantic. But also see him as someone who enjoys getting laid, so I ship him in that way. But I'm not telling you who I ship him with because it's a secret shhhh...

HISPANIC HERITAGE MONTH + BAND OF BROTHERS:
JOSEPH "JOE" RAMIREZ
Born October 5th, 1921, in Nebraska
Died April 8th, 1988 (age 66), in Martinez, California
Joe Ramirez enlisted in September 1942 (age 20) in San Francisco, CA, and he trained with Easy Company at Toccoa. Holding the rank of Private, he served in Normandy, Holland, and Bastogne. He was hospitalized in January 1945, and discharged in July 1945. After the war, he was married for many years, and had children and grandchildren. When he passed away he was buried with his wife, who had passed away 11 years earlier. Further information about him is scarce, but the brief character profile in the Band of Brothers series bible describes him as Mexican-American, and his personality as "sensitive and nervous."
Appears in Episodes 1, 3-8, and 10; portrayed by actor Rene L. Moreno
Sources below
A million thanks to @bleedingcoffee42 for tracking down this info for me!
#joe ramirez#joseph ramirez#band of brothers#rene l. moreno#mine: gifs#hispanic heritage month#latino heritage month#sources vary on whether he was a Private or PFC#they seem to have taken A LOT of creative liberties on the show bc#the only 2 anecdotes about him in BoB seem pretty diff from his character on-screen#not to mention that he would've been in the hospital during events of episodes 8 and 10 (each of which he's in several scenes)#on the other hand i do really like his character in the show and think he's one of the best and most underrated background characters#and why yes i am completely normal about him 😅#but also i'm sure he would've been great too if they'd made him more accurate to what limited info exists about the IRL guy#I forgot to save a few of the documents that bleedingcoffee42 sent me unfortunately but these are most of them!#but from one of them (his draft card?) i discovered he lived like 1.5 miles from my grandparents!!#(tho of course they moved there in the 50s so who knows if he was still living at same address by then... but still!)#oops i originally had the episodes he's in listed wrong on this#so AFAIK he's only NOT in eps 2 and 9#in ep 1 he's twirling a knife at the beginning and eating spaghetti next to Guarnere and Malarkey and playing basketball in England#in ep 6 he's eating the bean soup near the line when Sink arrives#in 7 he's sitting next to popeye and then in the church at the end (maybe in Foy but i'm not positive)#in ep 3 i thiiiink he's in Carentan next to Buck? and he's at the party in England sitting next to Lipton and listening to Gordon#in 4 he's in too many scenes to list here#in 8 he's in too many to list#in 10 he's hunting for food with the group and standing next to Grant's shooter when Speirs comes in the room

"As for the government of the kingdom, [Edward V] had complete confidence in the peers of realm and the queen."
"According to the Crowland continuator, [Elizabeth Woodville] seems to have taken the king's place in listening to his council immediately after Edward IV's death. It does appear that she expected to have some role in her son's kingship, and the Crowland continuator’s report of the letters sent to her by [Richard of Gloucester] indicates that she had good reason to expect to be able to work with him and the other councillors: 'the duke of Gloucester wrote the most pleasant letters to console the queen; he promised to come and offer submission, fealty and all that was due from him to his lord and king, Edward V, the first-born son of his brother the dead king and the queen'."
"[However], in what was Gloucester's first coup, Edward V was separated from his household and Woodville advisors. When the young king questioned the move, Buckingham was reported to have told the boy 'It is not in the business of women but men to govern kingdoms'. The blunt remark referred to the authority of Elizabeth Woodville as queen and the power she must have anticipated within the new political climate left by Edward IV's sudden death [...] While the veracity of this scene is questionable*, the words attributed to the duke no doubt seemed plausible to Dominic Mancini who believed they exemplified the popular sentiment held by men [...]."
— Dominic Mancini, The Usurpation of Richard the Third / J.L. Laynesmith, The Last Medieval Queens: English Queenship 1445-1503 / Alexander R. Brondarbit, Power Brokers and the Yorkist State, 1461-1485
*One of Mancini's key sources seems to have been Edward V's own doctor, John Argentine, who attended to him in the Tower. It's very likely that he was the one who recounted this scene to Mancini, which suggests that it should probably be considered more credible than not.
#historicwomendaily#elizabeth woodville#wars of the roses#15th century#english history#my post#Croyland wrote that 'The counsellors of the king - now deceased - were present with the queen' so yes#He clearly seemed to view Elizabeth as taking on Edward's role after his death#Which is striking since her son - the new King - hadn't even arrived in London yet let alone be crowned#It's also interesting that Richard wrote letters to *her* rather than the rest of the council and that she was the final deciding authority#when it came to her son (she was the one who wrote to him for his military escort) - it's a clear indication of who was seen as important#This is also reflected in 16th century chronicles like the claim that the Archbishop of York gave Elizabeth the Great Seal#We don't know if this is true - the Archbishop was definitely opposed to Richard but More may have embellished or invented the story#But either way it reflects the perception that Elizabeth would have a major role in the realm's governance during her son's minority#Which makes sense as Edward V would have been used to his mother governing for him as part of his council his whole life#It's also interesting to compare the impression we get of Elizabeth's role with that of former kings' mothers in late medieval England#Because that can help us understand her activities (and perception of them) within proper context rather than purely in isolation#From what I understand kings' mothers could be very influential (eg: Joan of Kent) but were almost never visibly/directly associated#with the governance of the realm. It's striking that the most extreme and arguably the only exception - Isabella of France - assumed#her unofficial regent-like role only after literally deposing the former King aka her husband in the most atypical situation imaginable#So it's striking that Elizabeth *was* visibly and directly associated with it despite her situation being entirely standard; despite the#lack of precedents; and despite the physical absence of her son. Especially since she was effectively the king's mother for only 20 days#I do think it's possible to argue that it says something about her power as queen#(Edward *did* give her unusual positions of authority either way) and may also suggest a more direct personality on her part#It may also explain why historians were/are so readily prepared to believe that she wanted to 'usurp the sovereignty' to quote George Buck#Ofc this is my interpretation based on my (limited) knowledge - feel free to correct me

It’s actually funny because in my limited experience with Elizabeth Gaskell, none of what you expected the book to be about is going to make an appearance til at least a third of the way through
#like I thought this book was about Molly being in love with Roger while he’s crushing on Cynthia#you’d expect any element of that to have happened by this point#(okay actually Molly and Roger’s relationship (friendship) HAS been developing. that’s true)#(but she’s still very much not into him like that)#and Cynthia is BARELY arriving in England#so yeah#elly's posts#elly reads#edit: but maybe Molly will realize she likes Roger *as* she watches him fall for Cynthia#to which I say. ouch

my friend is flying to england rn to begin her semester abroad and i'm thinking abt how my flight to ireland last year felt like the longest 6 hours of my life but this is going by quite quickly for me as an observer watching her on flightaware. and i'm thinking abt how my sister texted me "u made it!" as soon as i landed. and how now i am not the one who has made it but the one who has to stay up to 12:30 am to send the text! much to think abt.
#talkin#i reallly want to stay up and text when she arrives but i slept soooo badly last night idk if i'll be able to#actually bc of the same friend. bc she wanted to talk to both me and her friend in england (the reason she picked it to study abroad in)#at the same time so she put all of us in the same chat and i discovered that he knew the church i wanted to go to for its harry clarke#window while i'm there bc he'd been to that church . and then even after my friend went to sleep i spent about another 40 minutes#texting her friend whom i had never before interacted with . about my stained glass obsession. twas very fun but too much phone in#bed time and i ended up awake for half an hour at like 3. which was bad

My final Christmas/Birthday present (it was MEANT to arrive before Christmas, but shipping delays meant it arrived yesterday, after my birthday) -- an official The Smiler Scarf! :D It is surprisingly large, and very much on-brand, as you can see. I am quite pleased with it. :D
#happy birthday to me#(I'm counting it as a birthday present because it arrived after my birthday)#the smiler#scarf#clothing#seriously this thing is wide#much wider than my old Aperture Science scarf#but that's good means it'll cover more of my neck#and I'm just thrilled to have more Smiler stuff#it's hard to get over here because you know#I live in America and the coaster is in England#and even on eBay pretty much anybody selling stuff is selling from England#so the shipping costs make this stuff expensive#but fortunately my parents were willing to pay for this#and for my bear Smileon last year :)#now as Dad said I just have to get my passport sorted#and convince myself to get on a plane so I can actually FREAKING RIDE THE THING#would be nice

8 Books I Read Growing Up: A Poem
"The Intrusion," Banquets of the Black Widowers - Isaac Asimov || The Witches - Roald Dahl || Hickory Dickory Dock - Agatha Christie || The Giving Tree - Shel Silverstein || The Picture of Dorian Gray - Oscar Wilde || The Return of the King - J. R. R. Tolkien || "A Scandal in Bohemia," The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes - Arthur Conan Doyle || The Eyes of the Dragon - Stephen King
#blackout poetry#poetry#poem#me#jazelock#my poetry#explanations for those who may be unfamiliar with the books and/or passages but are still interested in figuring out the subtext:#The Intrusion: A man seeks the help of the Black Widowers in finding the man who took advantage of his mentally disabled sister. Henry#suggests to the man that he tell the rapist's wife what her husband did instead of beating the guy up so as to ruin the rapist's reputation#and life. Someone says that's a cruel suggestion and Henry responds that it was a cruel deed.#The Witches: The main character asks if the grandmother's missing thumb was the result of a run-in with a witch she had as a child and#she immediately goes silent and unresponsive for the rest of the night.#Hickory Dickory Dock: The murderer's accomplice turns on him after she's caught because she wants the psychopath to hang for his crimes.#The Giving Tree: The titular tree continually gives away pieces of herself to the human she loves even letting him chop down her trunk#so that he can make a boat to sail away in. This is the first and only time in the book that the tree is described as anything but happy.#The Picture of Dorian Gray: The amoral Lord Henry explains his philosophy to Dorian Gray that completely selfish hedonism is what all men#should aspire to. This conversation is what sends Dorian Gray down the path of depravity and cruelty.#The Return of the King: The hobbits finally return home after three long books' struggle against the forces of evil. However Frodo's#traumatic experiences continue to haunt him and he eventually decides to leave Middle-earth entirely due to how badly he's been wounded.#A Scandal in Bohemia: Sherlock Holmes and his client the King of Bohemia arrive at Irene Adler's home to retrieve the photograph that the#king claims she intends to use as blackmail. Instead they find a letter from Irene that explains that the king had “cruelly wronged” her#and she intends to keep the photo not as blackmail but as security in case he tries to harm her in the future. She also points out that she#and her husband saw no other option than to flee England entirely given how much power the king has at his disposal. The king even said at#the start that he'd had her waylaid and burglarized multiple times already which is horrifying if you think about it in this essay I will#The Eyes of the Dragon: I love this one. An evil magician murders the beloved queen then the king and frames the crown prince so that he#can install the younger brother on the throne as a puppet king. The younger brother has been gaslighted and isolated his entire life by#the magician. Eventually the older brother escapes from prison and confronts the magician who claims there's no proof he murdered the king#(and also that the prince and his allies won't leave the room alive). Unbeknownst to everyone the younger brother is also in the room and#suddenly speaks up to say he saw the magician poison his father. The magician leaps at him to kill him (mistaking him for the ghost of his#father). The younger brother says softly “You told me only lies magician” and shoots him right in the eye with the 90-lb bow in his lap.

college students next to me having a discussion about what constitutes latinidad and their defining point of it is that the person must speak spanish. you are NOT serious people. lunch ruined
#they are putting Anya Taylor Joy as an example because quoting them she speaks spanish unlike other people#meanwhile she grew up as a very posh person in england and regularly gets casted to play explicitly white european women?#see: the north man#and rumor has it she was apparently a bully growing up in england. which doesn't sound like the behavior of someone#who grows up othered because of their place of origin but instead someone with enough social capital to get away with that#within a global sphere she's obviously seen and she's had the experiences of a white woman#so yes she was born in LatAm and has argentinian parents and speaks spanish but socially and culturally a person like this#is very removed from a latinoamerican context given that she's integrated into european society and received as their own#but since speaking spanish is the defining factor according to them she's just like us ... girl ...#sorry this was not the part that pissed me off but when they arrived at this point it's when I knew the plot was lost
