The Beginning of the End

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.

Virginia: anything we can do to make the car go faster?

Michigan: Cheat.

Virginia: There you go, we’ll up our cheating budget 100%

Virginia: you know I’m kidding right?

Michigan, winks: definitely. Me too.

Virginia: you winked when you said that… we can’t cheat.

Michigan: well of course not.

Virginia: it still sounds like you’re winking, I wanna be very clear.

Virginia: No cheating.

Michigan: I Am Very Clear.

Virginia: He’s going to cheat. Isn’t he.

Indiana: First off, in NASCAR we don’t cheat, we innovate,

Indiana: until we get caught.

I was drawing something cursed about the Lumberjack War but unfortunately my computer decided that sounding like a geiger counter wasn't enough, it had to act irradiated as well. So instead have some pre-Revolutionary War art I made in the middle of the night while reading my old APUSH notes and having an existential crisis.

Anyway friendly reminder that another very important day is coming up this month and I know it's fun to hate on the French but sometimes you gotta take a step back and wonder if maybe they were on to something

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.

#hetalia #hetalia headcanons #aph america #hws america #alfred f jones #southern alfred butters my biscuit #sue me #I will push this agenda #just want to say I also adore ANY accent Alfred #like a strong New England accent is classic and amazing #or make him a surfer bro #but I am incredibly biased as a Texan and as a Southerner in general #because to me he’s a Virginia boy born and raised #or Florida #depends on what you go with

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.

The Aviators' Respective Squadrons in Top Gun: Maverick

Author's Note: I have no idea if this post has been done before. Since I got a little too curious, I've decided to look up their squadrons after hearing them a lot and noticing them during Admiral Bates' briefing and at some parts of the movie. Although some may appear inaccurate due to my lack of knowledge of Naval Aviation or the Navy itself, think of this as something a hopeless TG:M fangirl would do just to feed her curiosity.

(In our perspective) If you look closely during the movie, you could see the patches of their squadron's insignias on the left side, while on their right are their patches with their call sign on them.

Though this may not really interest some, here they are:

Lieutenant Bradley "Rooster" Bradshaw (VFA-87)

The Strike Fighter Squadron 87 (VFA - 87), also nicknamed the Golden Warriors, is a United States Navy strike fighter squadron based at Naval Air Station Oceana.

As a Virginian I must know: what would your opinions on HWS Virginia be?

imo there's a 90% chance that Virginia is just Alfred himself. like that's his original 'state' and he's also the US in addition, same way Arthur is England and the UK.
