fuck it, band AU time

with my mounting zine deadlines and drawings i owe friends for their b-days, idk if i'll ever get to draw the accompanying material i wanted to, so it is time to yap everyone's ear off. apologies if this is a mess! it's been a hot minute since i've properly spewed my nonsense out loud

i think i wanna talk abt Nat first... I love using Natalya in narrative works -- she's so so interesting to me and the character i've fleshed out the most

in Band AU, Natalya is a solo pop musician whose earlier music takes heavy inspiration from ethereal wave and dark cabaret. artists who frequent the playlist i've made for her are birdeatsbaby, revue noir, and then a bit of the dresden dolls and mirabilis. here's a hyperlink to her WIP playlist!

as for subject matter, her music probably deals a lot with existentialism and self identity

at the start of her career, Nat is very experimental in her sound, presentation, and image. i like to think she sees her music videos and stage performances as a version of semi-abstract performance art. she's very into symbolism

the pop part of her sound comes a bit later, after she starts dating Alfred Jones, the front man of Multifacet, an alternative(?) rock band (gonna be real, i have NOT nailed down what their sound is yet). her relationship with Alfred is mutually unhealthy - they are somewhat codependent and both feel a need to perform due to media pressure. he's using her for her preexisting fame, she uses him to feel the lonely void she feels

Nat cracks under the pressure. She was a very popular artist before dating Alfred, but she had control. When they start dating, her own achievements begin to be overshadowed. Her career becomes inescapably intertwined with Alfred's. She hits an absolute breaking point

as of right now, the sound of nat's music when she's with alfred is a bit like rina sawayama's. i find her voice gorgeous and i like the sound of urgency in the songs I have added to Nat's playlist -- it's a stark difference from her earlier slower music. I think Frankenstein embodies Nat at this point in her career the best

i know billie eilish is WAY too mainstream for Nat's taste, but I can't help but think of The Diner from billie's latest album for the AmeBel breakup...

also I much prefer platonic AmeBel - I think when in a romantic relationship, these two enable the worse parts of one another. however as just friends, they work quite well! anyway the best way I can sum up how I see AmeBel is:

someone else: what do you even see in him? Nat: he makes me laugh. he's stupid. i like that in a man.

I think the constant theme for Nat is a constant searching for a sense of identity because she continually destroys the identity she's built. I think Nat is a little insecure and to truly flourish, she needs to find some confidence. she also needs a good support system, which comes in the form of Tereza (miss Czechia), but I'll talk about them at a different time (wink wink, nudge nudge)

If I have to give you examples of Nat's different "Eras":

Debut: The Silent, The Tragic Tantrum She's having fun. Nat's a bit cryptic, she's eclectic, and enjoys putting on a show on stage. Start of the AU: Girl Anachronism, The Dresden Dolls I associate Girl Anachronism a lot with Nat in general, band AU aside Dating Alfred: Frankenstein, Rina Sawayama The lyrics of this one really hit for Nat. "All I want is to feel beautiful inside and out/You're the one who can save me from myself." This is when AmeBela are mutually codependent Breakup: Nothing Lasts, Glycerine I don't have anything to add other than this is an old personal favorite of mine. That's it. Breakup, but with plot relevance: The Diner, Billie Eilish I really want to use the lines "I'll go back to the diner/I'll write another letter/I hope you'll read it this time/You better" Nat and Al are having a very public breakup, that's all I have to say Healing: Seventeen, birdeatsbaby Nat's like. 27 at the start of this AU, but I think the themes are still relevant. I also LOVE the dramatic and grandiose intro to the song -- I feel like it's a return to form for her... Healing Nat Part Two: I Always Hang Myself With The Same Rope, birdeatsbaby

Nat will get a happy ending. I do need to figure out in more detail in what ways she damages Alfred, but I think with the general theme of the whole AU being a cautionary tale about fame and the effects it has on an individual, I've focused more on the "good ending" route with Nat's story. She has a moment of self realization and puts in the time to work on herself.

Instead of Belarus being jealous of Alfred going out with Russia, it’s the other way around. Same with Russia if Belarus became Alfred’s girlfriend. Commence scary Slavic glares and arguments over the oblivious America who thinks they’re all just really good friends.

Request: America and Belarus having breakfast in a fancy hotel's dinning hall during a world meeting?

During a world meeting you say? Nothing stops the hero from sneaking out of meetings.

Scenario #3: AmeBel

Alfred and Natalya have been fairly close friends for a long while and they work well together. At the beginning of their friendship, they didn't do too much together, but the stronger their bond grew, the more they hung out.

Before one of the world meetings started, both Alfred and Natalya both decided to ditch the meeting. It was a nice day out and they didn't want to waste an hour or even more stuck in a meeting. Plus it was breakfast time and they were both hungry, so they decided to sit down at the hotel restaurant instead. That way they could enjoy the rest of the day doing what they please rather than taking even more time inside to get food after the meeting. It was Alfred's treat.

The two of them are seated at a table by the window. The rays of sun are shining through the large window and Alfred can't help but to notice how the light really brought out Natalya's eyes. Usually he isn't one for catching small details like that, but wow. Gorgeous eyes that stood out against her pale skin. A few snaps in the face and Alfred is snapped out of his small trance.

Something that the two of them have been doing is teaching each other their languages. Natalya, even though she knows English, isn't 100% fluent, so Alfred helps her touch up on that. In return, Natalya has been teaching Alfred Belarusian. Even a little bit of Russian so he could insult Ivan. It was her subtle way of payback for Ivan running away from her all the time.

Anyway, as they're eating this wonderful breakfast, Alfred is scarfing down his food like it's nothing. Natalya, concerned for Alfred's health, tells Alfred he needs to slow down, but in her native tongue. Confused, Alfred stops eating and, through a mouthful of food, tries to ask her what she said. Even though he didn't understand, it still worked.

The way Alfred reacted makes Natalya laugh and she hides half of her face with one hand. Alfred is shocked but wow, is he excited to hear her laugh. He can't help but to tell her, "stop covering your face, there's no need to hide." He paused for a moment. "You have a nice laugh too."

Natalya, at that point, wants to hide away. She can feel her face heating up, which REALLY stands out against her skin. However, she drops her hand but she pouts and crosses her arms, then looks out the window. Speaking in her mother tongue again, says something about how the look on Alfred's face when he's confused is cute.

Alfred picks up on a few of the words enough to understand what she said and just kind of...stares at her. Only to burst out in a big goofy grin and saying, "of course the hero is cute!"

After a little bit more giggling and Alfred adoring her laugh, they finish their food, Alfred pays for their meal, and they leave to go do whatever they please. Both of them have also ignored any texts or calls from the other countries.

Finally finished a lineup of the four main girls for my Housewife AU @w@

So first off we have Mattie Braginskaya, the wife of Ivan Braginsky. Mattie is a bit more shy than the other three and is a homebody for the most part. Very lady like and sweet, with a gentle and polite disposition and quiet voice, she’s often times viewed by others as a homemaking goddess. She’s a talented cook and even more talented baker and crafter.

Then there’s Natalya Jones, the wife of Alfred F. Jones. She comes off as cold and quiet but she’s very calculating. She takes her work as a housewife very seriously and is known to keep an incredibly impeccable home (quite a feat given Alfred!). 

Felicia Beilschmidt, the wife of Ludwig Beilschmidt, is all bubbly personality, if just a tad bit airheaded sometimes. She’s usually bustling around town, running errands and always finding the time to stop and talk with everyone she comes across. Most commonly you’ll find her bustling about her kitchen, making fresh pasta and cooking things with delicious aromas!

 And finally, Kiki Kirkland, the wife of Arthur Kirkland. Kiki has a very calm and refined demeanor and comes from a very well off, old Japanese family. She spends a lot of time in her garden, tending the flower beds and rose garden as well as putting together beautiful floral arrangements.

I’m hoping to do some art involving their husbands as well too lol This was more to get height sizes down, comparing between all the four girls.

AmeBel = America x Belarus

EngBel = England x Belgium

EngBela = England x Belarus

I do not like the inconsistency. 😩

Easy solution is to replace AmeBel with AmeBela as the main ship name, and by extension, use Bela in any Belarus ship.

Either that or start consistently using "Belg" for Belgium instead of "Bel".

I'm just saying, it's confusing and causes ships to get mixed in the tags. 😅

tfw you’re supposed to be on a date but you bump into your brother in law

tfw your crush is dating your sister

America: Do you think you’d actually notice if someone didn’t cast a shadow? Or if their limbs were just slightly too long? Or if they had just a little too many teeth? Like how many times have you passed something on the street and you just didn’t notice it?


Belarus: Stay woke monsterfuckers! Your true love is out there!!!


America: You know what? Not my point at all in any way whatsoever, but I’m glad I could be an inspiration.
