The Beginning of the End
Tumblr media
The beginning of the French & Indian War (North American Theatre of the Seven Years' War) ft Rich/Virginia, Jonah/West Virginia, & Charles/New France (c. @gardenkeeper)
In my lore, Alfred was by no means the favored colony, and Arthur, while he sort of cared for his colonies in a way, he was just too busy to properly keep track of them (hence the salutary neglect). Alfred is a staunch New Englander, and quite frankly it makes sense. New England always had more of a bone to pick with the British Empire than the tidewater south ever did...so this brings me to Rich/Virginia...
I like to think of Rich as the favorite of Arthur's British colonies given that Rich is more influenced by this southern English gentry culture that I see Arthur being influenced by too. Alfred is more eastern English in nature.
Rich has this typical southern gentleman attitude. Takes life too easily, quite the flirt, and quite charming, but he can be quite entitled especially given the fact he's basically the favorite out of the 13 and Alfred. ANYWAYS, what's happening in this picture?:
For context, neither Alfred, or his states' "first war" was the American Revolution-- quite frankly I dislike this hc because it ignores wars with Indigenous nations, and also ignores some of the reasoning behind isolationism. Also it sometimes come off as if you do not view Indigenous nations as sovereign and separate entities of the settler-colonial project.
Essentially these colonies were getting dragged into European fights albeit it in the North American theatre ex: Queen Anne's War/War of Spanish Succession. Some were getting tired of being in these fights because they were not reaping the benefits aka gaining more land....this led to Rich thinking he could get away with anything. Right? Arthur wouldn't care much if Rich, and his half-brother Jonah, roughed up some French colony asshole, Charles and just took his land because after all, they all hate the French anyways. Or so that's what Rich thought....he would come to find out he overstepped with Arthur because he essentially forced Arthur's hand into the Seven Years' War by getting Arthur further embroiled into another conflict with Francis.
This would lead Arthur to become more harsh with his colonies (ex trying to enforce one english national culture rather than let them proliferate with different english + some other cultural backgrounds) and would lead him to more closely govern.

Here to spread more Southern Alfred Gospel:
Let him have the genteel Southern accent up until he gets mad, particularly excited, or just any strong emotion. Then it thickens and he’s standing there sounding like the redneck or hillbilly or Backwoods Bobby you think he deserves to be. He could be a fast-talking Southerner, or a slow-talking one (I can see either happening).
Also give him southernisms! Let my boy say y’all and ain’t. Write some triple and even quadruple contractions into his speech such as y’all’d’ve. He’s the kind to be speaking in a lot of similes or metaphors. Is someone being particularly testy? Alfred is going to ask or simply tell them to “Quit bein’ ugly.” Did someone come up with an agreeable idea? He might exclaim a happy “That dog’ll hunt!” (That plan works!). I want him to throw an out-of-left-field curveball at the other Nations by saying shit like “Well butter my backside and call me a biscuit.” If Alfred’s preparing to do something, he’s fixin’ to go do it. Drop his g’s, let him say ‘an’ instead of and. And do NOT tell him anything along the lines of “Bless your heart.” Those are fighting words. You’re going to catch hands.

I feel bad for not doing stream, so here are some miscellaneous state sketches. For the bottom pic, someone in the discord said that Maryland, DC, and Virginia's dynamic is like two divorced moms and their high-energy child. And you know? So right. It's also Halloween, that's why the DBZ

I am finally introducing one of my favorite girls- West Virginia !!!
Her human name is Pearl Elizabeth Madison, and she's physically 21 years old. She's the 27th oldest state, and celebrates her birthday on June 20th.
Pearl is overall a very fun and pleasant person to be around. She's friendly, diligent, cheerful, hardworking, kind, polite, sociable, neighborly, loyal, very passionate, fun loving, adventurous, thrill seeking, helpful and proud. She's a naturally very outdoorsy and active person with a deep love of everything nature related, and she's insanely passionate, putting her entire heart and soul into everything she does. She's the type of person to carry food with her wherever she goes just so she can share it with others. She's very community-oriented, a big people person and the very definition of the perfect neighbor. She's the first to speak up for others, or against something she doesn't think is fair- and she's huge on fairness and good sportsmanship. Some more fun facts about her are:
She's only a mere 5'1, or 155 cm in height. She's one of the shortest states- specifically, the third shortest state.
She has roughly 3a type hair.
She is the younger sister to Virginia, and older sister to Kentucky.
Outside of her Indigenous languages, she speaks fluent English and Spanish.
She is a huge fan of playing music, and just music in general. She's very skilled at playing the fiddle, appalachian dulcimer, mandolin and banjo, as well as the guitar. She's also a fairly good singer, and has written a few small songs of her own. She attends music festivals whenever they occur, and especially loves folk music, bluegrass music, country music and indie music.
She's always finding something to do and always keeping busy.
She holds a very deep respect for manual laborers, like miners. She's done quite a lot of manual labor herself over her life.
She's a naturally outdoorsy and active person. She has been exploring and adventuring ever since she was a young girl, and she knows her way around the outdoors She's also a fairly skilled survivalist.
She is very good in a crisis, having experience in survival, getting around the outdoors, working with her hands, growing food and more.
She is a very good shot.
She has an appalachian accent.
She keeps snacks and such stowed away everywhere. She has big pantries at all of her houses, and frequently bakes or cooks more than she can even eat just so she can give the extras to neighbors or local food pantries.
She is a very hard worker. She's very skilled with her hands and is always very thorough with any task she's given. She's even quite good with back-breaking labor, which has made her one of the physically stronger states.
She's a bit of an adrenaline junkie at times, indulging in everything from mountain climbing, white water rafting and skydiving.
She's surprisingly very religious, but hardly ever brings it up. She goes to church pretty much every sunday.
She is super helpful and more than happy to have anyone's back for anything.
She has quite a few gardens scattered across her houses and likes to grow some of her own food, especially ramps, herbs and other vegetables.
She usually has a bit of dirt on her somewhere.
Her likes include: Music, folk music, bluegrass music, country music, indie music, playing music, the outdoors, being outside, hotdogs, coleslaw, pepperoni rolls, apples, apple pie, hunting, cooking, baking, catching fireflies, hiking, camping, mountain climbing, whitewater rafting, running, swimming, gardening, farming, rainy days, Mothman, tough jobs, mountains, forests, waterfalls, pearls, pearl jewelry, being active
Her dislikes include: Pushy people, unfairness, judgmental people, being told what to do
That is all I have for her right now, but I will be gradually posting more on her! Feel free to leave any suggestions :))

Okay this is totally fucking random but I’m like 80% sure Finland would ask Sweden if he wanted to make a sex tape. I’m VERY sure Sweden would disagree to it though, I think he’d be way too embarrassed.
Now Denmark and Norway on the other hand—

*sometime before the American Revolution, after getting into another hot debate over independence*
PA: You know what? I am absolutely finished with this discussion - Done! Go to hell. No, in fact, worse still - go to VA!
VA, literally just there with Jefferson to scope out the other colonies: what did I do?

Nor'easter States Map

Just a map showing the US states that my friend (ekuos.art on instagram) and I have worked on thus far. He created Aurelie/Louisiana and Simon/Michigan.
The second image depicts which states (and city) we believe Alfred would consider right-hands due to their present and historic significance.

The first colony: Virginia origin story
I’m planning of making a series of how each state was created, I’m going to go from when they were first created (territories and stuff) so I really hope you enjoy.
Some time after 1607
Darkness that’s all he saw, pure black darkness with splotches of red and maybe some green and yellow, that’s all he could see for now at least. He opened his eyes and rubbed them trying to make them less heavy with some success. The first thing he saw was the sky, an amazing shade of blue, though he didn't know that yet. He touched the ground making a confused face 'what is this' he looked at the brown stuff with peices of other stuff in it. He looked around until he saw a blonde haired figure in the distance.
He got up and ran down the hill, feeling the wind hit his face smiling. He looked around until he saw the boy with blonde hair and cloudy blue eyes, the boy smiled. It was genuinely a warm smile. The boy was in a suit like outfit “I’m Alfred, what's your name?” The little boy couldn’t respond to what was his name, the other boy hummed “I’ll call you Dale” The other boy gave him a big smile “that can be your name” and put his hand out for the other little boy to grab, which he did.
They ran through the forest until he started to hear noises. The boy continued to run until he got to a house and knocked on the door, the door opened up “England I found a friend” a man with thick eyebrows looked at the kid “what’s your name” “Dale” it wasn’t much louder than a whisper “excuse me?” “His names Dale England and can he stay with us” “I guess he can stay with us for now” Alfred smiled as they walked into the house.
The house was nice it had a shelf with some plates on it "what are those?" Dale asked "oh those, those are some plates I brought over from where I came from there nice" England responded "I thought you got them from China" Alfred said "or you could say that" the English man responded with a sigh. There were also some plants "and those?" Dale asked pointing to the pots with plants in them "those were from my friend, Marié" a girl who looked about 15 with light brown hair "ah yes Paris" England, said with disappointment laced in his voice 'maybe he doesn't like her' Dale thought.
A few hours later
Alfred yawned and rubbed his eyes the man sighed “America it’s time for you to go to bed” America groaned “okay England” and stormed off. England looked at Dale “and you come with me I want to talk to you" he smiles and walks into a room with okay level furniture. Dale followed him into the room swallowing the lump in his throat.
The room was light by candels, Dale looked around "you may sit" he shook a bit, he scurried into a chair and sat down and sucked his lips in. England looked up from the book he was reading "I thought someone like you would come by sooner or later" Dale was confused "a personification of Virginia" Dale nodded but was still confused "which I can see from your outfit you are the personification" he says with a soft smile, Dale or Virginia nods his head slowly "so if I introduce one of my friends to you say you are Virginia, alright" Dale whispered "Virginia okay cool" he said under his breath smiling.
The next day was strange America and a mysterious girl were eating severly burnt scone "how can you eat that?" Virginia asked "when you've been eating this type of food for awhile" the mysterious girl said " I'm London by the way" she said with a smile, she pointed torwords Alfred "and this is America" his mouth was full as he smiled and waves, he nodded and smiled 'I think this is going to be fun'.

Did y'all known that Uranium glows under a black light?
Edit: and that there’s a large deposit of uranium in Virginia. I straight up forgot to add that part. And that this is what I did instead of doing an actual page for VA
