Edwardian era Alberta. This was a lot of fun. Might either do her again in a different era or do another province in historical clothes.

(Mun an Albertan looking this up, is this image)

He's seen in a lot if you can't tell.

OMG so kawaii 💓 💕 💗 😍 💖 💜

I have injured my left hand (my dominant hand), don’t worry, I’ll live.

So I did this with my right hand….

Majestic!

Jk, I know it’s not the best. But at least I still wanted to share… there’s no shame in wanting to share art that doesn’t look the best.

Do you ever have a crush to someone?

Canada: ... How to you tell if it's a crush or if you just really want to be friend with someone ?

My provincial personification OC compilation

More old art! This was drawn in 10/23 as a gift for my friend @allbeendonebefore

I love to have my Texas OC lightly bully her (I mean IAMP/PC) Alberta OC (and then maybe they kiss afterwards?)

a little more bert ft bird before bed. he’s cleaning out the eaves like i should be :x

i’ve been hearing drilling these past few days and yesterday i finally saw the culprit - it’s mating season for the Northern Flickers, a type of woodpecker, so they like to drum on anything that can produce a loud echo for the ladies, including chimney flues!

up in Edmonton we mostly see the yellow-shafted variety (pictured) while the red-shafted ones are more common in the south of the province.

I still have a few more new critters for “wild animals i’ve seen this year” to draw, I just gotta start putting them together.

Battle of Alberta Timeline pt. 1: 17th-19th Centuries

[ Alberta Story ] [ part 1 ] [ part 2 soon ]

Phew.

This was an ambitious little project for such a short time period.

I don't have much to say about it other than that, it is just supposed to be a crash course in the broad strokes of what Alberta considers to be its history. It glosses over a lot and is mostly about the foundations and incorporations of the characters (i.e. the municipalities that I have personified thus far) and a few contextual clues to the worlds they grew up in. It's basically a big cheat sheet for me since I'm both a stickler for consistency and also very inconsistent... Of course, each character could easily have their own personalized timeline on top of this, so I tried to leave room for that possibility.

(missing is St. Albert, who would be featured at 1861 if I ever intended to draw him)

And, of course, it's supposed to provoke your curiosity a little since it is of course an ask blog, I can't just explain everything down here much as I would like to :)

Enjoy!

We don't talk about how hard Matt goes for Halloween. Modern Halloween as we know it is very much a Canadian creation. The term "trick or treat" was 'invented' in Alberta.

Just Matt going all out for Halloween

ONE MORE THING regarding late 19th Century Anglo-German relations... Okay. It's a little paternalistic but I imagine each European nation gets a bit touchy when it comes to these poor girls being plopped in a place they aren't prepared well enough for being asked to carry out diplomacy at a time when personal politics don't matter as much anymore. And I think Victoria's eldest daughter Vicky, the mother of Kaiser Wilhelm II, kind of shows this phenomena in a nutshell.

Also I do imagine that Arthur would be incredibly uncomfortable with how Princess Vicky was treated by the Prussians (then Germans) which would really colour his interactions with Gilbert and Ludwig in the second half of the 19th Century. It's a narrow scope example of why relations between the two just crumble so badly by the 1880s on.

Bear with me. I have a point.

Okay so, Queen Victoria's girls were very much trained for politics. Prince Albert was like here have all the philosophy and theory you could ever need. So Vicky, Alice, Louise, Helena and Beatrice all would be ready to be good Queens. Or, at least, trained to be good British Queens, which doesn't really fly in the German states. Especially for eldest daughter Vicky.

Sidenote: They all have chubby cheeks and I want to squeeze them.

So you have a Princess who yes has a nice like-minded husband, but her in-laws dislike her, and her eldest son rebels against his liberal mum by going full on authoritarian and creates a rival court so extensive that by the time she becomes German Empress this other faction frequently raids her home for anything that would excuse her exile or worse... you know. Typical royal family stuff.

But she is also a woman who reads and supports Karl Marx (what the...) and Charles Darwin, builds hospitals during the Franco-Prussian war, founds girls schools and nursing colleges, visits Synagogues, openly calls antisemites lunatics, encourages a free press... and the German court hate her for it. Largely because she refuses to be quiet.

So it's not just a case of 'the mean Germans think my perfect Princess is annoying' for Arthur; it's that conflict between Liberalism and Conservatism which is the very crux of why Germany and England are incapable of having friendly relations. Arthur watches the soft power and these (somewhat bullshit/hypocritical) liberal ideas and principles he has set himself up as representing on the international stage get completely and utterly rejected by another nation. One that he cannot exert control over. And I bet that infuriated him. His way absolutely is the right way what is Ludwig's damage you know? And I guess after WWI he feels mighty vindicated but until then... what a frustration.

Arthur and Ludwig (or Gilbert, depending on how you interpret who's actually in charge at this time) have such very different ideas on power and ruling and what a monarch is even there to do. It's just a very personalised example of why Arthur cannot get along with Ludwig. A British Princess (friendship) was a very precious thing to have, and the Germans squandered her (it). At least in Arthur's eyes.
