caname kind of specific ghost au 😊👍 plus rus for fun 👍 and i guess its kind of ruscaname too 👍 all this mostly because i keep relating caname to various character pairs where one is a demon/ghost stuck to the other and sometimes they can possess their body

okay i already put the walls of text in the images 😊

mostly i just like to superglue caname together and i like forcing some kind of small bit any semblance of sincerity out of ame and i like possession or someone being in another persons body in mind. its loosely inspired by aono-kun and how ghosts work over there.

ruscaname in this au all knew each other separately to varying closeness prior to the events

and okay yeah this is oc-ifying at this point but i dont want to so itsOk. lets have fun(spin around) i'll probably never draw anything for this au and keep the rest of it in my head after this post. just here to log my hetalia things on this blog.

the scenes in this au in my head are still very disjointed because i don't even have a clear idea of the cause of death etc i just know their relationships thats it

this au is still born from my total ame syndrome so ame is always haunting the scene even if hes not there 🙂 please keep that in mind when the wall of text

i dont know what's more scary ppl who support israel for die hard religious reasons no matter the religion or ppl who support israel for like economic reasons and all that they 'have to offer' if a country forms ties with them. on one hand it's like religious people and their notorious lack of critical thinking strike again. and on the other it's like just woah buddy that's a lot to unpack there i mean not really bc like tht's just the capitalist mindset but idk hearing it from a regular 'man on the street' is like giving u know they arent going to suck ur dick right? also whether ur 'pro' or 'anti' one side or the next for purely religious reasoning it's still lack of critical thinking

If homosexuality is unnatural then why did every boy in my school felt the natural urge to deepthroat a faucet every time he needed to drink

[eviltext]

like for a fursona i’m tempted to default to a cat. which is understandable. but the options are limitless!! i could make them a reflection of myself but i also could make them more of an oc, so it’s not necessary to tie them to who i am as a person. but like. man i don’t have a favorite animal and that’s what makes it hard

Arctic Harmony Is Falling Apart! An isolated Russia is Turning to China For Help in The North.

— By Elisabeth Braw | Foreign Policy | May 15, 2023

Russia’s one-tank Victory Day parade in Moscow was decidedly underwhelming. But in remote Svalbard, the Arctic archipelago administered by Norway and which is home to a large Russian population, Russian pride was on full display. Even though the islands are officially nonmilitarized, Russian residents staged a very paramilitary parade, including 50 vehicles and a helicopter, in Barentsburg, Svalbard’s second-largest town. That might not seem huge, but the settlement has just 455 residents.

But Russia can’t back up prospective claims in the Arctic without help anymore. Just two weeks before, the Russian Coast Guard had signed an Arctic cooperation agreement with the China Coast Guard. A Russian mining company in Svalbard, meanwhile, wants to set up a BRICS research station there. Moscow’s weakness is causing it to lean heavily on Beijing, including in the far north. That’s good news for China, a self-proclaimed “near-Arctic” state—and bad news for the rest of the Arctic.

Svalbard is that rare thing in international politics: a remote collection of territory governed by one country but inhabited by people from many different countries and in possession of no armed forces. That has been the case since 1920, when an international treaty placed the Svalbard islands in the northernmost part of the Arctic under Norwegian rule—and gave citizens from the treaty’s other signatories the right to live and conduct certain forms of business there. China joined the treaty in 1925, and the Soviet Union joined 10 years later.

Today, the archipelago has some 2,900 residents (primarily Norwegians, though Barentsburg has a large Russian contingent) and features one Russian and one Norwegian coal mining company (both state-owned), some research, and a bit of tourism, which declined during the COVID-19 pandemic. It even managed to survive the Cold War without clashes between NATO member Norway and the Soviet Union.

Indeed, the Cold War saw significant scientific collaboration between the two sides in the Arctic—possibly the only part of the world to have survived the Cold War in such placidity. So unique and almost utopian is Svalbard that in 2006 the world entrusted its future to it: Svalbard hosts the Global Seed Vault, which is collecting strains of all manner of plants, up to 4.5 million of them, to be used by humanity to restore the world in case of a devastating catastrophe. Svalbard is also ground zero for one of those potential disasters: Its average temperature is rising six times as fast as the global average—which makes it a tragically ideal environment for collaborative work on climate change.

But in recent years, the Arctic harmony has been deteriorating as Russia has increased its military and coast guard presence in its Arctic regions, which stretch from Norway and Finland in the west to Alaska in the east. In 2015, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin turned up on Svalbard without permission from the Norwegian authorities, declaring that “there are many problems that are not solved for decades during Soviet times and in the pre-Soviet period.” This year, on May 9, Russians on Svalbard communicated their views on current events with their military-like Victory Day parade in Barentsburg.

And now Russia is teaming up with China. In late April, the Russian Coast Guard and the China Coast Guard signed a cooperation agreement that will see the two agencies team up to “combat terrorism, illegal migration, fighting smuggling of drugs and weapons, as well as stopping illegal fishing,” Vladimir Kulishov, the director of the FSB Border Service, told Russian media. The two agencies will start conducting joint exercises in the near future, Kulishov added.

There’s already coast guard collaboration in the Arctic involving Norway, Sweden, Finland, Iceland, Denmark, Canada, and the United States. These countries, though, have suspended their participation in the Arctic Coast Guard Forum, which is currently chaired by Russia, leaving Russia as the only participant—so the Kremlin invited China. The two countries signed their agreement not at a base in the eastern part of Russia’s Arctic coastline—which would have been closer to China—but in Murmansk, a three-hour drive from the Norwegian town of Kirkenes. “It’s an example of the closer cooperation between Russia and China, and the fact that it’s taking place in the Arctic is noteworthy,” said Arild Moe, a research professor at the Norway-based Fridtjof Nansen Institute specializing in Russia and the Arctic. “Signing a treaty like this under great fanfare, and in Murmansk, is a strong signal.”

Alexei Chekunkov, Russia’s minister for the development of the Far East and the Arctic, has also suggested that Trust Arktikugol—Russia’s mining company on Svalbard—will build a research station and that China will be involved. Trust Arktikugol’s “future would be to slow down systematically the coal production, to develop tourism (our towns are the planet’s northernmost settlements), to develop the international Arctic scientific station, including with BRICS counterparts,” he wrote on Telegram last month. Chekunkov’s interest in BRICS—speak: China—makes sense, since the cash-strapped Russian government is hardly in a position to commit major funds to the crucial archipelago.

In the early 2000s, Chinese research involvement in the Arctic was not a cause for concern. In 2004, China’s Arctic and Antarctic Administration launched its Arctic Yellow River Station on Svalbard in facilities rented from a Norwegian company. (Though the Svalbard Treaty gives only Norway the right to conduct research on Svalbard, the country has generally been so welcoming to foreign researchers there that it has even provided subsidized infrastructure and transportation.) As late as 2016, China opened its China Remote Sensing Satellite North Polar Ground Station in Sweden’s Arctic town of Kiruna. Two years later, it launched the China-Iceland Arctic Science Observatory in Iceland.

Today, the world looks rather different. Despite the growing geopolitical confrontation, the state-owned China Communications Construction Co. (itself under U.S. sanctions) is certainly within its rights to sign an agreement with Russia’s Rustitan, as it did this February, to develop a massive titanium deposit—the world’s largest—in Russia’s Arctic Komi region. The deposit, which was discovered two years ago, also features zircon, iron ore, and gold, High North News reports. Trust Arktikugol, for its part, has the right to transition away from coal and to do so with partners. Indeed, that would be good news. This September, Norway’s Store Norske will close its last coal mine on Svalbard.

But when new Chinese activities are planned in Arctic areas frequently used by Western citizens and organizations, it’s time to start paying attention. A larger Chinese scientific presence on Svalbard would likely cause concern among other scientists working there—and provide Beijing with further ammunition for its claim that China is a “near-Arctic” state. “China is using its status as an early signatory of the Svalbard Treaty, as well as the operation of the research station in Svalbard, as an argument for why it should be considered a legitimate player in Arctic politics,” Moe noted.

The Russian-Chinese coast guard collaboration in turn may be completely benign, but combating terrorism, illegal migration, smuggling, and illegal fishing is a broad portfolio. The China Coast Guard enjoys a dubious reputation that includes aggressive and sometimes illegal actions toward vessels from other countries. Last month, for example, China Coast Guard vessels blocked a Philippine patrol vessel near the Philippines’s Second Thomas Shoal in the South China Sea after commanding it to leave. And last week, a flotilla of Chinese coast guard and maritime militia vessels entered a gas site operated by state-owned Russian and Vietnamese firms in Vietnam’s exclusive economic zone. Arctic countries should think about how they’d respond if, say, a Chinese vessel directed military-grade lasers at vessels sailing in Finnish or Norwegian waters. And what if the two coast guards decide to patrol the waters around Svalbard?

It would be a pity if a unique global arrangement succumbed to geopolitics after more than a century in existence. Indeed, Svalbard and the Arctic illustrate an extremely uncomfortable reality for the West: By locking Russia out, Western governments are inadvertently enticing Moscow to open the door to China. In the sensitive and strategic Arctic, the results will present themselves on Western countries’ doorstep. As for research on Svalbard, I would bet even Minister Chekunkov would far prefer a Bill Gates research institute—focusing on, say, climate change—over a Chinese one. Who should float the idea to Gates?

Current mood as an anti Russia Russian jew:

- Watching western college kids spout the same propaganda you heard on channel one growing up

- Hearing chants of "Death to America" and seeing the destruction of the American flag and whispering "of course" to yourself because you know exactly where this rhetoric came from and who sponsored it

- Watching the world waste its time on a democratic country fighting back against terrorists instead of paying attention to the real evil in the world like Russia, Iran, or China, because... antisemitism is more entertaining and you guys haven't been allowed to kill jews in a while I guess

- Being frustrated by the protests because nobody exerted this much energy on Ukraine and everybody has already forgotten about Ukraine and it's so painfully obvious that you all just hate jews

- Remembering the time you sat in class and had to listen to your professor say shit like "America is the greatest evil", and "America is committing modern day colonialism through globalization and global market" and then comparing that rhetoric to that of the brainwashed western college kids'

- Being terrified of the upcoming 9th of May because you have no idea what kind of shit your country will pull on the 9th of May

- Being very familiar with Islamic fundamentalism because you live near Chechnya and for as long as you remember you have been witnessing the murder of human rights' activists, attacks on lawyers, and young women and girls trying to escape families who promised to honor kill them, mutilated them or poisoned them with medicine - some successfully crossing the border to Georgia but many more being dragged back to Chechnya from where they were hiding in Moscow and St Petersburg to their deaths

- And then watching the west pretend that there is no extremism or problems because then you will be called a bunch of names and obviously that's very scary 👍

- Realizing you have nowhere to run because the west has been thoroughly infiltrated and is digging itself a grave and hasn't stopped doing so for 8 months now

- Losing friends because they either fell for the propaganda and don't see the danger you see so clearly, or they are too cowardly to call out the mob and lose followers on social media. Even though losing followers will be the least of your fucking problems when you lose your democracy and freedoms

- Being furious 24/7 because more sane people aren't standing up, again afraid of the mob and losing their social media status

- Honestly just expecting to be bombed by now

im not online like that any more but sometimes when I go to check in on friends via instagram a reel is thrown in front of my face and while I typically have the dignity to turn away ive grown enamored by 2 accounts that i now regularly look forward to seeing. One is a relatively normal-looking but seemingly-autistic 30-something woman from rural Russia who moved to Hollywood because it's always been her dream to be an american pop star (such delusions hit very close to home, what can I say)... she goes places alone dressed in what is almost a normal outfit but just looks... somehow very off..... behaves oddly... posts videos of herself that enrage people and make them beg her to take it down... favorites are ones where she seems genuinely excited to see people of other ethnicities... with captions such as "my face when I see cheese [sic] people!" and then her phone camera pans between her like "😊😁👍" and a group of chinese people literally just hanging out outside........ followed immediately by a video of her doing the same thing at some sort of small music venue with the caption "my face when I see black singer! 😍😁😄🙌"...... all of her other posts are her confidently singing badly, emulating the stunts american social media stars pull off but not having the swag to successfully do so herself so she's just kind of rolling around on the crosswalk in a wig getting in people's way lip synching to her beloved ariana grande, or green-screening in a background of like a public park and just standing there weirdly flipping her hair fake laughing and biting her lip with the caption "me when I hear ice cream sound" she's so dope some people have called her satire but I can tell she's a sincerely weird russian woman who thinks what she's doing is totally fire... the first video I saw was My Face When I See Black Singer and was so shocked but well now I understand. I think that sometimes we take for granted the beauty of black singers, or perhaps chinese people, and also ice cream sounds... and ariana grande– who is all 3

Asking different questions to people because I'm bored. Day 7.

Yay, our seven-day marathon of questions has come to an end. Thank you for taking the time! I still have some questions left that weren’t sent, so if you don’t mind answering more, let me know!

How do your vampires prefer to spend their money? (Especially from "Hotel Transylvania")

Oh wow seven-day I liked this question dynamic☺️

Most vampire nobility are spenders, as they have resources to spare.

Nobility: They spend it on properties in different states of their country or in other countries for when they travel or are on vacation, jewelry, luxury clothing, new technology, the luxury of having their auction collections, ,Among other things💎🏦🎰

Commoner vampires prefer not to spend so much, and save enough for their children's inheritance or for their own support.🪙👍

The goal is to leave a decent legacy

Fun headcanon fact:

Dracula has an estate in England that he has never visited.And some dungeons scattered between Romania and Türkiye.

Ericka has a mansion she doesn't know she has in Holland, an apartment in the Netherlands and Amsterdam, along with cellars full of books and artifacts from her ancestors.

Marta has two mansions in Hungary and Russia (on her father's side) and an inheritance in a dungeon in the catacombs of France

And Vlad, well... He has many years and many souls at his disposal, as well as contracts with monsters: anything he likes is his.

[junk-whunk-punk]

broski are you in like... Russia? U doing ok over there?

Uh ummmmm😳😳... ????????? yes i'm in Russia????? i always was here??????

I guess, uh, PERSONALLY I'm quite well yeah thank you for your concern anon😌 I'm ok rn and I live the same way as any of my average fellow citizen soooo I also sometimes suffer from a lack of money, comfort attention, love, time and mental energy, but at least I'm still alive🥹 That's all like this thanks to my impenetrable thinking and pacifism heehee, otherwise I'd have gone crazy with this continuous political propaganda here.

I just love my motherland, its culture, its people and life here, but not those poliDICKians who are now measuring dicks with other such idiots.

(anon if you wanted to have a filthy political answer so uhhh IT'LL BE A QUITE LONG POST ABOUT MY INNER CRIES THAT WERE WAITING FOR FREEDOM I'M SORRYYYYY I just want to speak out and never return to this topic again if there's no need to)

I feel sorry and upset each time I see how radicalist propaganda brainwashes ordinary people, whether ukrainians, americans, russians or any other peoples who are now under intense pressure. Neither side is right, everyone who starts conflicts is always to blame for any conflict, but not ordinary people who just want to fucking survive. Alas, in my motherland there is just terrible oppression of pacifists now, because they are considered anti-patriots and extremists (that's NOT even a joke really, now pacifists are being driven under the same roof with terrorists and sectarians👍👍)

I'm just so scared of what that all will lead. Y'know, adequate and sane people would never want to harm anyone but OH ALAS, a drop of power makes weak people crazy. Unfortunately, such rotten fruits are now at the head of many influential countries in the modern world🤷‍♀️

But! I have a ray of hope. Many russians are aware of this problem. They know that the russian authorities seem to be set against absolutely everyone, both their fellow citizens and foreigners. That's why I chose the perfect tactic – I'm also against. Against all politicians. I am against all authorities😌 I just hate them all😌 but at the same time I love people regardless of their nationality. As for me, this is the most humane and the most correct choice, at least if we take into account the fact that we russians cannot influence the situation in world, no matter how much we want it. (c'mon we can't even choose anything in our own country)

So. The conclusion. I'm scared, I'm angry and I'm an anarchist yeah. Stay sane and don't be a victim of radical propaganda. Love people. Be supportive to those who in need. We ALL are fellow humans and we must stay them.

[hellonerf]

We need the. We need the dom/sub ame dichotomy. Pls ;-;

you mean with what i just posted about? Ok. Ok give me a second.

i put caname second group(docile ame causing horrid brain reaction) and it's true to me. really true. cana can go by days with ame being an ass normally with little reaction but in such cases of a docile ame it's like his brain got punched. 👍 snaps him out of the haze caused by routine. england is without a doubt second category but he's kinda crazy so it's not that set. less about how sudden it is and more how... a dependent ame to him is like... he's fucked up man. toxic boymom. there's something wrong with him.

i think france finds second instance amusing but he's more first(crazy power ame) group to me. i'm trying to think really hard for the other characters but it's hard okay. russia is weird. rusame is weird. probably a mix of both god knows they're so fucking weird 😐 it's okay. china/chiame logically also mix of both because of the nature of a "rivals" ship. but for my own insane bias i think china can lean into second group ❤️ less in a lose his mind way like england and cana and more LOL. 😂. LOL OK. (grabbing rope)

as for other characters. i don't know. well actually japan feels like both too. okay that's all i'm doing my brain is too busted
