Japan's third page from the Hetalia Collezione

I've been unable to find the perfect way to translate "(名/迷)言" for these contexts, so I said eff it, and went with "wow" and "huh" lmao. I still might change it yet again but this time I'm pretty satisfied haha, I truly think it just might be the closest I could get, as ridiculous as it is

all collezione pages

[Please note, I’m an amateur in Japanese and have to use various resources and translation machines to help me. If you notice a possible mistake or want clarification, please bring it up to me *politely* and not aggressively or hostile.]

#hetalia #aph hetalia #hetalia collezione #aph japan #I also chose the word “documenting” because in consideration of the word “always” I think it might also be referring to #Japan's long and rich history of diary keeping #idky but that “there is no escape” panel is always so HILARIOUS to me lol it's just so memeable #forgetting how to speak is also a mood. just one year in quarantine and I lost the ability to look people in the eye and speak clearly #even my handwriting went to shit and still hasn't fully recovered so I can only imagine what 200 yrs of isolation does to a man

Now I know why Pedro didn't go to the Met Gala, Dan Levy stole his oufit! It looks great on him, but this is so a Pedro red carpet look.

#pedro pascal #dan levy #met gala #I'm quarantined at the moment #i might be a little stir crazy

my design prof seems determined to blow me up so instead of doing any of her assigned work i decided that practicing my silly turtles by drawing @cpunkhobie's plural ronin was a better use of my time :)

#additional fun fact: i am the anon that split ronin's system #art #artwork #digital art #heartz art rot #heartz art #tmnt #roninpluralau #one of my better attempts at drawing any turtles tbh #might go back and redraw the piece i did of sam's quarantine au #or maybe finally design my own tmnt au guys

Hihi, I just wanted to say (again) that I love your works, whether it’s art or just plain fanfic! I think my favorite has to be either the FMA/ Genshin crossover or Bleach/ BNHA one. ^^ The way you twist your words are so captivating, especially with character studies! Idk, just love the way you can break them down and place em in a new place and just have them fit. As someone who loves crossovers, I heavily admire you and your self-restraint in the respect that [insert character] doesn’t have [insert character]’s friends/ family popping up everywhere if that makes sense? Anyways I just wanted to say thanks for being so cool and I enjoy seeing the little drawings you add into your responses. If you’re up for it, any character from the aforementioned AUs? No pressure! :D

Hehe thank you!!! I’m glad to see another person who enjoys crossovers! I think it’s a shame that there arent more of them, they’re such interesting opportunities for character studies! I think if you’re able to figure out what a character will do when isolated from their preexisting relationships and world there are lots of possibilities to play around with!

I get the temptation to want to see characters interact with people they know and are familiar with, though perhaps due to my own general social isolation, I see a lot of value in writing characters making new relationships when they don’t have access to their old ones. Like what makes them stand out to other people? Why would people want to or not want to be friends with them? What secrets do they keep and what is the threshold of trust or necessity for revealing a secret?

If you want crossover fic recs I have very very many! I really love crossovers haha they’re very very fascinating to me and I hope more people will write them

Thanks for the ask!! Here’s a doodle of mha toshiro :)

#something something I think I really got into crossovers as a middle schooler #and at the time like anything I could find was practically gold lmao #now that I’m actually an adult I have a lot of thoughts about how they’re written #at some point over quarantine I wrote a whole essay on different structures of crossovers #like ones that are fandom fusions vs ones that are reincarnations vs ones that are just direct displacement into a new world #and the ways each of these facilitate the way the character learns about the new world they’re in and how they might interact with others #I do still think I’m a rather amateur writer compared to some of my friends and some of the authors I admire #but I am always very very happy to see people enjoying my work :)))

this is in no way in defense of ariana grande’s ex husband or whatever bc idk anything but between this and joe alwyn, everyone acts like the only reason fame could interfere in a relationship is if the guys masculinity is too fragile to handle someone being more important than them. like that could be true but like having to take security everywhere you go, even though it is necessary, is a very big demand and definitely changes the kind of life that you live

like, let’s not pretend that being the significant partner of a very famous person doesn’t require you to live a certain kind of life that might not work for somebody.

#idk i just read that things changed post quarantine when #their lifestyle was affected by her fame #and then i saw like a hundred tweets comparing him to joe and mocking them both #and yeah MAYBE they felt threatened #but you might want to live a more private normal life and it can be difficult to reconcile that #with a partner who is in a different places and is choosing a different lifestyle than you #dana rants

God it’s actually so over for me

#reposting here for archive purposes so like. #if you’ve seen it before it’s because it’s in my Beatles quarantine zone and I consider it good enough to also save here #not tagging this just so I don’t fill band and member tags #fuck me im on mobile this might be low quality ignore if so

hi so this is the main art discussion but this is a shorter relevant one

ooo that's quite interesting

I do think that him holding the candle in the art does make a case that suggests he might've lit it himself or caused it on accident though I have some other ideas.

The man of the house he was staying at beginning to pray for forgiveness for longer and longer periods and Andrew describing the village as 'plague-stricken' kind of reminds me of how they used to think illness was caused by the wrath of God, there's a line mentioning that in the story as well.

there was also the belief that illness was caused by bad air that could be purified via heat and smoke, therefore leading fires to be lit to ward off the bad air, perhaps the fire was lit in hopes of helping the illness but accidentally got out of hand and spread?

#I was gonna say that I was aware that this might be stretch because those more more medieval/renaissance type beliefs #but there's literally plague doctors in the back of the first artwork for his story #I don't know what I think about the hut tho #ik they used to quarantine people by marking their house with a cross if they were affected and making them stay inside #so I thought maybe that but idk I feel like that's a stretch ???? #asks

mfw ppl To This Day keep acting like childes personal ambitions begin and end at finding strong enemies to fight and following the tsaritsas plan to its conclusion with him being some sorta loyal fanboy puppy of hers and that this guy isnt, like, genuinely unhinged to the core

god i need more long mp100 fics i'm too used to literally devouring like over 100k fics and now i can't read one shots anymore because it'll take me like. 10 mins.

#this is what being obsessed with reading in elementary does to a mf. AR tests RUINED me and my little overachiever self #i remember being obsessed with dr@rry at some point during quarantine and literally just #devouring 300k fics in the span of 2 days and it was horrible #because now my attention span is fucked as shit and i can't really read books regularly anymore #okay i might make that into a seperate post. how fics and books differ and how reading fics makes it harder to read books #mp100 #mob psycho 100 #serirei #ritshou #terumob #ALSO READ ISSHO!!!! #ISSHO IS SOSOSOOS GOOD ITS A TERUMOB FIC THATS LIKE 200K

very funny to have one of those kj charles books bring my "jewish side character in early-1800s-setting romance novel is introduced specifically to be the only doctor in all of england with modern notions like 'washing hands' and 'not bleeding a woman with a broken leg'" count to two, for some reason

i'm genuinely uncertain in each case if the author's reasoning was "i want to put in a jewish character for Diversity... and they should do something learned and jewish, like doctoring... but it's the 1800s and doctors were bad! the jewish character can't do something bad! they'll have to just be a much better doctor than everyone else" or "oh god i need a genuinely competent doctor character in order to make this plot work, but they didn't have antiseptics or medicine in 1810... maybe if the doctor is jewish i can just say that they have special jewish reasons to be good enough at medicine not to kill their patients"

#this is uncharitable. it might be totally fine #it might even be i guess not fully ahistorical. i don't actually know much about jewish doctors in early 1800s england except that they wer #allowed but there weren't very many of them. #but it just smacks to me of ''author searches memory for Positive Jew Facts; remembers tumblr post about post-black-death pogroms #partially attributed to superior sanitation and quarantine practices'' #i. this all sounds really hostile. it's not BAD #it is. strange to me #bookbox #box opener #we've done worse. as a community

Idk man I just don't know how to rewire my brain to believe that good things can happen for me, especially when it comes to relationships

#personal #ugh I'm off to bed #you might as well tell me pigs can fly. like where is your proof. #I just wish I knew how to socialize because years of quarantine has completely destroyed any confidence I had #hating myself won't make it any easier :/

Pharma/Ambulon is a ship I kinda want to get into because it feels like it's a ship that has a lot of drama potential. It's not enemies to lovers but it's like, ETL lite. I guess there's just something in there that you can pick at to find some angst? Like, Pharma hates Decepticons and so he hates Ambulon because he's a Decepticon, but eventually comes to love him later on? Or you could work in something about Pharma's deal with Tarn/the DJD to save Delphi, in which part of the reason he makes the deal is so that he can protect Ambulon (I've seen many fics take this approach even with platonic/not particularly close Pharma and Ambulon).

I don't think I ship it in a "these guys would make a great long-term/stable couple" way, I think I ship it more in a "this has great angst potential/they have really complicated feelings towards each other" way but I don't really have any ideas for how.

#squiggposting #like for example we do know that pharma trusted ambulon enough to make him his ward manager over first aid #i might be mixing up the order since i remember ambulon is the one who demoted first aid #like you could argue that even if pharma hates decepticons that didn't stop him from working with one #then again pharma apparently never even gave ambulon the codes to the quarantine room he should've had as ward manager #but we honestly don't know enough about their time working together to really say #we know what first aid thinks of pharma but we don't know what ambulon thought of pharma #presumably not much better but like. he was the ward manager and would've had more contact with pharma #maybe there would be some sort of determination on ambulon's part to get pharma to see him as worthy? #some sort of breaking down of pharma's preconceptions of ambulon as an ex decepticon? #i mean. pharma hates decepticons but ambulon isn't a decepticon any more. could be some potential there

He was crawling, trying to at least get to a form of safety. Skull's pack mates were here and one of them hurt him. His green blood leaving behind a trail, one he will have to get rid of. It hurt so bad that it slowed him down, leaning against the wall for support. It wasn't until the arguing stopped and the sound of someone angry yelled out "Where did that fucker go?" stopping he hears the sound of footsteps drawing closer. Before the sound of a click, the sound of safety going off as 1 has taught him, the same angry voice spoke again "If you take one more step forward, i'll put another hole in ya'", the wound in his stomach throbbed at the mention of it. Looking over his shoulder to see the figure standing there, pointing the gun right at him, only this time at his head. He released a deep hiss that seemed to vibrate the wound, before long he felt a sharp nick in his arm. Looking down he finds a needle, and whatever was in that needle made his vision go swim. Before he fell to the ground, he heard Skull's panicked voice, "THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING?" and at his worry tone, he slipped off into slumber.

@phantom-ares0 I heard part of a song (it was bruno is orange) and thought about the comic I made a while ago. It was specifically near the end that I remembered this comic and this continuation came to mind 😭 sorry not sorry :)

#male xeno reader #he's probably fine #xeno male reader x ghost #i fuck with bruno is orange #also they took him back to base and he has to he in quarantine #so does ghost #but soap makes fun of him #probably makes an alien std joke #ghost is freaking out bc he believes xeno might be dead #this is where the brief xeno and shepherd interactions happen #poor xeno #he is literally being put through the ringer #dont worry he'll get graham crackers.
