[fanart dump] Well, ain't it been a while

[elysiumspirit.livejournal.com]

Characters: America, Czechia, and Slovakia

Warning: The love I share over this golden boy is real.

Summary: Wow, it's been a long while hasn't it? All the art featured here can actually be seen on my Tumblr art blog, but because I thought it'd be nice to revitalize this journal and the comm, I've decided to post some stuff here. Nothing amazing, but if y'all interested in looking at some of my attempts at art, well, here you go? I've been in this fandom for too long and have no intention of exiting anytime soon--

( Someone better give Czechia and Slovakia a nice pair of tags! )

You know I always love your art. All this is no exception, they're all so beautiful and well done. America is such a cutie and you draw him well the same goes for czchia and slovakia. also your comments are great too for each one, very insightful and lovely.

I swear you're always so sweet, why'd you have to make my heart weep like this gjkd

[saku-p.livejournal.com]

Because you're great o/ that's why and so is your art

[elysiumspirit.livejournal.com]

Why are you so precious.

[ani-bester.livejournal.com]

Oh man I love the art and I love the age you made America look there!. Very nice thoughts on it all too!

[elysiumspirit.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I know they're kind of ramble-ish, but I thought they'd add to it so I'm glad it's worked out-- and I've always loved the idea of America during the time as a young rebellious child. :')

[ani-bester.livejournal.com]

They were fun to read :)
And yes, absolutely a young rebellious child. Honestly it kinda fits more IMHO.
Also amuses me because my son is moving into the terrible twos and I'm like already ready to move onto the Revolutionary War cosplay LOL

Oh boy, next thing you know you'll find your tea thrown in the toilet //brick'd

I personally love the headcanon him in his pre-teens by around the 1700s, and a (very small) thirteen year old by 1776. Partly because of the joke of it (thirteen years old for thirteen states) and partly because it seems like an apt age for such a transitional period.

I love this boy a lot and think about him a lot okay rip

XD I don't doubt it LOL. Everything else goes there!!
It does give me a way to laugh at his irational tantrums though. I even videoed one for my RP blog (I had the audacity pick him up and he screamed until I put him down. Since we were still dressed up from Hetalia day it was too funny not to just RP it).

Ahh I love the idea of 13 to represent the 13 colonies! And yes, very the time when rebellion kicks in! And I seriously feel like a lot of the reasoning that went into how unfair everything was fits in so well with pre-teen/teen emotions. I can imaigne Alfred out with Sam Adams and just- not a good combination!

Oh but I love talking headcanons, so don't even worry! Sharing fun Headcanons are one of the best things about fandom IMHO , from serious to goofy.

[elysiumspirit.livejournal.com]

Oh boy, he's going to have a fun memory recorded to look back on when he's older. It's a scream for revolution!

The boiling pot of anger that was colonial Boston definitely makes me think of a simmering small Alfred in that transitional point; I mean, you can argue the complaints about lacking in representation as well as the ideologies colonists were swept with from Enlightenment certainly does give the impression of a twelve to thirteen year old questioning his parental authority. I certainly don't doubt he got swept along with Adams into dumping some of that expensive tea in to the Boston Harbor too lmao

And that's true! Sharing and discussing things in fandom are some of the best things about being part of one. Especially with Hetalia, I'm actually allowed to nerd out on my love for history without seeming weird :')

Yaay! It's great to see some art posted! Your illustrations are nice! Happy to see art of the new characters!

I went to see about adding tags for Czech Republic and Slovakia, but it looks like someone already added them.

[elysiumspirit.livejournal.com]

Thank you! My affections for America are pretty evident, but I also find Czechia and Slovakia to be just lovely, so why not give them the love they deserve?

I've been having trouble adding the tags in, actually! It keeps rejecting them every time I try to do so. LJ has no love for them. :c

[jammerlea]

That's so weird. I went ahead and added them for you. I forgot I can do that lol

[elysiumspirit.livejournal.com]

Thank you for that! Maybe there's something up with the privacy settings of the tags? (Is that even possible)

On the tags

[ani-bester.livejournal.com]

Adding in.

I had the same probably. I had to leave the group and re-join it before I could use the tags. On mobile I could see them, but it insisted they were wrong, and on desktop, I couldn't see the community tags at all until I unjoined and rejoined.

RE: On the tags

[jammerlea]

That is absolutely bizarre. I guess I'll at least keep that in mind in case anyone else mentions a similar issue.
