Collecting Denmark personifications like trading cards

What is "The National Idiots"?

Its a passion project created by @staryenight that details the lives of personified countries and their random shenanigans. Some posts will be political, historical or simply for fun. (Stereotypes will also come into play.) Similar media that has inspired me to make this are: Hetalia, Nation-Being-Thing, and Scandinavia and the World

As of right now I am still in the beginning phases of this project; creating the designs for each countries.

Is it gonna be a webcomic or what?

The plan was to make a webcomic, that either updates biweekly or monthly, but I'm still unsure of whether or not to go through with this. So all you can expect from me are sketches and random doodles in this account.

What countries are going to be featured?

I will be doing my best in portraying as much Countries as I can, but I cant stress it enough I will be mostly focusing on the more well known and globally active ones. Despite that, I already have an idea of Latin American and SEA countries I would be bringing up more.

when you're part of a group with structural power over another goup, you really do gotta just learn to say "i am not exempt from 'fuck 'em' when relevant" whenever someone expresses frustration with you or people like you.

Fontaine is in remarkably good shape after getting completely submerged. Even Dvalin threw a few signs on roofs and whatnot

Kaveh and al-Haitham redesigns are mine (still WIP), while Nahida's is by fallencrowkarma

Would you/ have you ever drawn Flower Ranchers fanart? (Jimmy×Tango×Scott)

I have drawn them before and I have done so again for you all!!!

I was originally just going to repost my previous art of them but my bestie gave me this banger idea for them and I needed to get it out there! (Also that art is like a year old now)

I've grown fond of snowbugs... they are so pretty!

I'll still leave my other art of them under the cut, as well as close ups of this one:

The idea that uni protesters are "elitist ivy-league rich kids larping as revolutionaries" on Twitter and Reddit and even here is so fucking funny to me if you actually know anything about the student bodies at these unis. Take it from someone who's going to one of the biggest private unis in the US, 80% of the peers I know are either from the suburbs or an apartment somewhere in America, children of immigrants, or here on a student visa. I've heard about one-percenter students, but I've never met one in person. Like, don't get me wrong, the institution as a whole is still very privileged and white. I've talked with friends and classmates about feeling weird or dissonant being here and coming from such a different background. But in my art program, I see BIPOC, disabled, queer, lower-income students and faculty trying to deconstruct and tear that down and make space every day. So to take a cursory glance at a crowd of student protesters in coalitions that are led by BIPOC & 1st/2nd-gen immigrant students and HQ'd in ethnic housings and student organizations and say, "ah. children of the elite." Get real.

I love Chiyo- and I kind of headcanon her as a Witch of the Woods (Sands???) archetype- a bitter old woman who has sacrificed too much, experienced and committed more atrocities than anyone can imagine, and who knows the truth about what lies in the hearts of men to live among the villages anymore.

In my AU she's got a pretty dark backstory. Back in time when Villages were just getting established, women weren't allowed to be shinobi in the same capacity as men. There was too much warring and death among the clans to risk women, so they were only ever allowed to serve as spies or medics. (Chiyo started off as a medic).

And like any military/fascist dictatorship, serving the state was more important than anything else- so women who were kunoichi were given missions to steal and return with powerful bloodlines. Even before villages, this was a common fear among clans (which is why so many of them have protective measures and inbreed/arrange matches very carefully).

Chiyo was one such woman, who took a X-rated mission in her youth because she was told it would 'serve her nation'. There was a powerful bloodline whose Kekkei Genkai could harden sand to something akin to Steel- something Suna very desperately wanted.

Chiyo succeeded in her mission, but despite the veneer of 'serving your nation', when she returned, she was considered, in her words, "Just another whore."

Then when her son didn't manifest the bloodline- it was worse, but Chiyo was happy because that meant her son was HERS. (This is when she met Enji, and he saved her son's life at great cost- so Chiyo owes him a blood/life debt.)

Then the war came, and they needed women to fight so now serving the nation meant something different, and Chiyo became a full fledged 'shinobi' and turned her healing towards poison and death- especially when she had to fight the Salamander.

Then she sealed Gaara and that was the atrocity straw that broke the camel's back and she dipped out Suna and retired to an oasis. She's still a healer, but adamantly refuses to serve shinobi.

Once again, thank you so much for these asks and all the support for this AU?

Zuko looked up and locked eyes with his cousin, who was struck speechless. Then, ever so slowly, Lu Ten's lips twitched upwards. And then he smiled. And then he beamed. And then he nodded proudly once, just once, and vanished.

Lu Ten comes back in For the Spirits Chapter VII: Take Me South, only to leave Zuko with more questions than answers. Just how much is he truly aware of? When will he return? What is Zuko going to do now?

(What will the South bring?)

ah yes, the duality of mankind. Over here we got the most gorgeous, the most delicious fanart you’ll ever see and the 1000-IQ analysis posts by the most big-brained theorists worthy of being hired by the FBI, then on the other side we got miniongate, bychance and people losing their minds over low quality bts of will and mike in the same vicinity as each other. I love byler tumblr

like do you remember a few years back how popular lesbian blogs would come out as bi after a while and then immediately be subject to a wave of hate asks about how they’re personally ruining and soiling the lesbian identity and drive them to delete/remake? actually I’m speaking in past tense but people literally still do this

[superstarcadet]

I hold my worried heart close. "I think I know exactly where to start." I reply.

Day Four of @byler-week! A short, yet meaningful one today! This one probably takes the cake for being my favorite so far, so I hope you all enjoy it just as much as I did making it! :-D Today's Prompts were: Bridge, Crumbling, Rebuild, Orange (my favorite color!)/Blue color scheme

Part One || Part Two || Part Three

“why can’t two boys just be friends without people shipping them?”

i can’t wait for his media illiterate ass to see season 5
