Dusted off my aph Botswana design and gave him 1) some friends and 2) a human name! Meet Seretse Motswaledi

a bunch of headcanons and such under the cut

The given name Seretse is the same as the first president of independent Botswana, Seretse Khama. I’m no expert on the history there, but I really liked the sound of the name “Seretse.” Motswaledi is borrowed from Gomolemo Motswaledi, another politician who founded the Botswana Movement for Democracy in 2010. Wikipedia is obviously a questionable source of information but apparently Mr. Motswaledi was also a music composer, which seemed appropriate for my OC

His general look (read: the cowboy hat) was inspired by the impossibly cool heavy metal subculture of Botswana, but I want to be clear that Botswana the character is neither exclusively into metal music nor is a particularly cool person lol. He in fact loves all music genres with a passion to rival Austria’s and mostly likes the goth cowboy look to feel badass.

Unlike Austria, he’s not really a natural talent when it comes to music and doesn’t have much of a head for composition, but he loves it enough to have become really good at several instruments. He’s got a good sense of rhythm so he’s pretty good at drums, and he also plays the segaba, which is a string instrument native to Botswana that I have no idea how to accurately describe the sound of so go look it up if you’re curious.

In theory, this man really likes rain. He likes seeing things grow. He likes it when the weather cooperates with his farmers since Botswana is prone to drought. He likes how cool thunderstorms look.

In practice, he really, really does not like rain. He behaves like a cat if he gets wet and is a huge fussy baby about it.

India is one of his closest pals outside of Africa; IRL, these countrys established relations early on after gaining independence from England, and though I did say Botswana is not meant to be particularly cool, these two definitely could bond over the knowledge that at least they’re way cooler than England lmao. They also have a mutual pal in South Africa, who I should probably draw them with some time, there’s lots of great South Africa designs

Russia is another country that was early to establish relations with Botswana, but on a character level, they haven’t known each other long enough for Botswana to have all the baggage of so much history as is the case with Russia’s neighbours. Without that old fear, Botswana is free to find Russia’s personality an endearing sort of odd instead of finding him a bit creepy. This also means Russia feels comfortable teasing him without as much risk of stumbling into genuinely hurtful territory, hence the above image of Botswana being a baby about the cold.

His ugly pink puffer jacket is very much inspired by Spike Spiegel on my part, but he has no idea who that is. Japan saw him in it one time and was very sorely tempted to ask where the hell he had gotten it (Russia gave it to him when he was under-dressed for Moscow) but he didn’t think they were close enough on either a personal or geopolitical level to be so impolite.

I missed drawing my babieeeessssssss

Also, if you noticed, I changed Lesotho’s hair design since it looked like another Lesotho oc. I love this hairstyle anyway and think it suits her more? Yeah? No?

And finally, after 3 (4?) years, I’ve drawn eSwatini! Most of y’all probably know him as Swaziland though. Anyway, I’ve finally finished all members of the Southern African Custom Union (SACU)! Fun fact, they’re the oldest customs union in the world! It was founded in 1910.

I know I told you I was trying to not create an oc Botswana, but technically I'm not because theoretically Himaruya already made a Botswana

Well bitches I'm headcanoning him as a hardcore metal fanboy. On his days off, he dress up all black and probably have piercings that he takes out when he is working.

And alas, hopefully Himaruya will make him darker if he even come back from his hiatus----

I'm going to search for names for him!

Also this fandom: OMG the 2ps are so cool!!!!!!!!

Made some more characters I’ve ignored until now. Continuing from this post.

First is Mongolia. There are some official pictures of him. In the one really old one he has glasses. In the anime he was just a dark shadow.

The next three are Saxony, Hesse and Bavaria, Germany’s big brothers. Used to be countries now federal states. All the pictures of them are black and white, so their color palette is just a guess.

The rest of characters are Kenya, Ghana, Zimbabwe, Botswana, and Uganda from the Gakuen Hetalia. They've never been used since, and that’s why I’m not sure are they abandoned completely. That’s why I haven’t used them in my maps. The colors are almost official, I just made their hairs a little darker.

I will probably post all of these little pictures in one post soon. I think there are most of them. Japanese domains and prefectures are missing, except Osaka, because there are so many of them...

[peonycats]

can we see your interpretations of the other aph african charas we've seen?

sure! tho keep in mind there’s some designsI haven’t encountered, and I’ve drawn Cameroon before, so I’m drawing the ones from the Heta Gakuen game- 

i’ll write some deets on what I think they’re like with the detail shots below yeehaw

Mister Botswana

Very shy and soft spoken, and extremely careful to not offend 

Slow to warm up to people

Quite the businessman and diplomat despite his reticence! 

Has a crippling fear of hippos

Owns a lot of nice clothes and jewelry 

Miss Zimbabwe

Very Tired

A sweet old lady!

She’s rather polite and formal to people she doesn’t know well, but can also be a gracious and welcoming host!

A damn good mbira player

Miss Ghana

Extremely boisterous and friendly; quite possibly the biggest fan of small talk there is

She uses like. five million proverbs, sayings, and analogies when she talks which can be frustrating to some people dshgfhsdj

Rather open with her emotions, and isn’t shy about expressing her sentiments!

Do not ask her if Nigeria’s Jollof Rice is better or she’ll make you have some of hers immediately

Have you ever had an embarrassing drunk moment?

Botswana: Buuuuuuuut, it wasn’t a drunk moment so you get to live for another day, Nami. :)

Day 5 of @hetaliaafrica2020 (AU of your choice) which I’m also counting for the free day 7 because this took like twice as long as the others lmao

So yeah metal band AU! My Botswana OC you’ve got as the frontman there was already inspired by the badass heavy-metal subculture in Botswana which is 10/10 worth a google search, so this was an easy logical leap. Seychelles’ look was meanwhile inspired by Babymetal, and @ask-mauritius‘ ridiculously handsome Mauritius OC there on the right is based off James Hetfield and other nice simple classic metalhead looks

This is riffing off a 2009 Rolling Stone cover which featured Green Day, who, while neither African nor a metal group, have some a+ magazine covers. This one specifically was great because it had a flag in it - the one Mauritius is holding is the flag of the African Union, which all three are member states in.

Thanks again to the organizers of Africa Week for giving us all the chance to spread some love for the Africa squad!

African nations, represent!

Botswana, Zimbabwe, Ghana, Kenya, and Uganda appearances were revealed in Gakuen Hetalia. Unfortunately, most of the fandom including myself forget about that. Shame, I really do like Botswana and Kenya's designs, but the chance of seeing very much of any of them in canon is scarce.

I'd love if you could tell us more about any of your african ocs, but i dont have a specific question so.... maybe some random hcs about them that you feel like sharing?

omg... I finally have a chance to share this

Okay so, I believe that all the personifications have social media. Some use it more than others. And I know that the African personifications have Twitter especially. They also have facebook but we ain’t talking about that. These two incidents happened on Twitter that inspired me.

#twarnamvsrsa

I believe that Namibia and South Africa will take so much time to throw shade at each other. They will even argue about it in more professional settings like at one of the African Union meetings. They make fun of each other and their friends always has to keep up like

South Africa: *dramatic gasp*

Angola: Yeah! Take that loser!

Lesotho: What did she say now?

Angola: His corrupt president and parliament

South Africa: Who even are you? You’re just a desert!

Namibia: *gasps*

Lesotho: Are you taking sides?

Botswana: *watches them bicker* Nah, this is more fun

#IfAfricaWasABar / #IfAfricaWasASchool / (link to the Ted Talk where the creator talked about trend)

On the grander scale, I think all the African personifications will use Twitter and other platforms to roast each other and they will discuss it at meetings and such. I know that every other region would do this but omg Africa has to be the best one I have ever seen. Not only do they make fun of each other, but it a weird way, it brings them together. They also throw shade at Europeans and I cried reading all of that. Needless to say it was an eventful 2015.
