[fanart] When You Were Truly Happy?

Uh...so there's been this bunny that's been bothering me a LOT recently. It has to do with the Romanov family and Russia's relationship with them, namely Anya (Anastasia) and Alyosha (Alexei), the last princess and prince of the Romanov Dynasty.

So I started to draw like crazy.

Title: When You Were Truly Happy?
Author/Artist:

youkofujima
Character(s) or Pairing(s): Russia with Olishka (Olga), Anya (Anastasia) and Alyosha (Alexei) Romanov.
Rating: G
Warnings: Real historical characters used. Full of delusional thoughts via yours truly. Lots of ranting.
Summary: Perhaps, during this time, his mind was clearest, and he was truly happy.

Four pics under cut.

Well, while Russia might not have been completely happy and sunflowers and sunshine during the Romanov's dynasty, but I keep having this thought that he at the very least did very much enjoy being with them since they were charming people privately. This was probably the time frame when he was mostly sane, or at least clear-minded. But the 1905 Bloody Sunday incident as well as the citizens' effect on Russia probably overshadowed that later on. Or something. I guess it'll make more sense if I do a doujin of it.

"Anastasia sometimes tripped the servants and played pranks on her tutors. As a child, she would climb trees and refuse to come down." (Wiki article)

After reading that, I imagined that she also climbed on Russia and refused to come down.

Russia: Nicky...your daughter is attached to me and it's hard to work like this...Olishka, it's not a laughing matter, I want your sister off.

(The Romanovs had this custom where the royalty was raised in a very plain manner and were referred to by their nicknames rather than their titles.)

Russia and Nastya (Anastasia), his energetic little shvibzik.

Russia and Alyosha, the Baby.

The Romanovs were described as being patriotic. Patriotic=love your nation, right?

Once again, the Romanov baby makes work hard for Russia.

Title: Basement, 1918
Author/Artist:

youkofujima
Character(s) or Pairing(s): Russia
Rating: PG-13 for implied violence
Warnings: Real historical characters used. Full of delusional thoughts via yours truly. Short story involved.
Summary: He blinked and realized he was still alive.

(sorry, let's pretend I wrote 1918 instead of 1917, yes?)

He blinked--once, twice, and then realized that he was still alive. Light crept back into his eyes, though there wasn't very much of it, and he found himself reclining against a rickety old chair. The room reeked of rust and iron and cold; it made him shiver despite himself. His fingers clutched the revolver in his hand from the small spasm of his muscles. For a while, he said nothing until the lights flickered above his head and he turned to look at a soldier.

"Where's Anya?" he asked, quietly, afraid of waking the sleeping occupants of the house.

"In the woods, you want to see her?" a soldier asked, motioning with his thumb.

"Oh, no," he answered with a laugh. What a thing to suggest! "She always goes in there like it's her secret base, and gets angry when I follow her. I'll wait."

Bonus coloured picture.

Title: Sunflower Pixie?
Author/Artist:

youkofujima
Character(s) or Pairing(s): Russia
Rating: G
Warnings: None
Summary: Sunflowers ♥

A picture I drew that my kouhai asked that I colour and give to her. Might as well...

Thank you! I really do want to try to colour that 1918 picture of the basement.

If only I wasn't so lazy about colouring...

I wonder if the massacre of the royal family was what turned Russia insane, seeing how you drew them like that~

Your chibi!Russia is amazing, like the rest of this post.

In my plot bunny, it's part of what made him snap completely, though if he remembered the entire ordeal, it would probably make it even worse. He really loved them a lot as people.

Thank you very much!

You draw Russia so, so very charming in appearance, and I love the interaction with the historical figures. I actually agree with the interpretation of him being gentle prior to the Revolution-- so this really made me smile in a bittersweet way at the circumstances surrounding them. Well done, and I do hope you are inspired enough to turn this into a doujinshi!

Thank you very much. I really do want to turn this into a doujinshi, and just show through a doujinshi how I think Russia went from this...charming, gentle person to what he is today, like how it slowly deteriorated.

Oh, these are adorable and foreshadowingly creepy...love especially Basement. Basement.

Thanks!

Yes, that...basement. Just the thought of that BASEMENT makes me cringe and want to cry. Apparently one of the girls went for the door and screamed for help.

Aaaaaaawwwwwww, Anastasia hanging offa Ivan = CUTE ++++++++++

Thank you!

I want to draw one now where you see it from the side or at least a 45 degree angle so you can also get a look at her face.

::drowns in all the Russia:: Becoming one is inevitable. :|b

Becoming one is inevitable but somehow very hard because Belarus would turn everyone's insides out if she didn't get there first. OAO||||

_{Oh god, I can just imagine how O_O they would be.}

These are all so beautiful!
I especially love the first!

Thank you very much!

Thank you for liking them!

I really do love drawing Russia, not when he's being creepy but also when he was really, truly happy.

Unnghhhh, Russiaaa... *___* Your drawings are so amaaazing. 8D

Thank you^^/

Aw, a sane and happy Russia. You don't see that very often. All of the drawings are so cute, Russia's like a giant teddy bear for the kids. It's cool seeing the nations interacting with real people of their time period as if they were almost normal. I don't really want to think about how things went for extended periods of time with others cause of the whole 'near immortality' aspect of the nations but snapshots of time are so awesome.

Finally~ Russian Roulette! I've been waiting for someone to make some kind of mention for that famed pasttime. He looks like he actually did shot himself... with kept his head and has no blood splattering.

The chibi Russia picture's very cute. The sunflower's like a little umbrella of shade for him. I'm sure she'll love if you give the picture to her. It'll make a sweet gift.

A sane and happy Russia is something that isn't drawn enough but I think really does need to be drawn. We do keep hearing that the nation's bosses are the people who were in power at the time, and considering how close Prussia got to his at one point, it just made me wonder which ones Russia was close to. There are all these speculations about how Prussia took to Fritz's death, so one can only imagine the sudden and unexpected death of the Romanov family. Good god I want to draw that...!!!

Well, actually, that picture has a slightly more different theme behind it, but. XD

Thank you X3 He is so shy he needs to hide under it?

Your drawings are all so lovely. Love the one with Anya and Ivan the most. <33

The last one's so adorable too~

Thank you^^/ A lot of people seemed to like that one next to the one where Anya is hanging off Ivan.

they all are amazing. also, thanks for the knowledge. :]
i love the last one the most. cutie! (>w<)

Thank you for liking them X3

Your drawings are so adorable <3~

Thanks!

Oh, my heart.

O_O Eh? Are you okay?

Oh, this is really touching. My friend and I were discussing Russia and Anastasia the other day, so this... It's like you read my mind. ;__;

You make me want to see Russia as an actual person with actual feelings. Stop that. D:

Lovely pictures, though.

<3

Ah, I'm glad! I kept imagining how he would act if he saw the movie. Results were not good OAO

Well, his heart was kinda there at one point... I will draw him more and more emotional, muahahah!

Thank you!

.... *cry*

*hands you tissue?*

Guh--whjrf--vsjrhjsbfsds Romanovs. D: D:

These are so lovely and beautiful and heartbreaking. Curse Hetalia for making the Russian Revolution even more troubling to me. The basement one in particular is just--aagh. My heart.

I definitely agree with your theories on him being so fond of the kids, too. Surely he must have gotten a kick out of Anya's shenanigans.

The Romanovs were probably a huge highlight and turning point in Russia's life. One of those that he looks back at fondly but has NO IDEA HOW IT ENDED AND IT'S SCARY TO REMEMBER AND HE DOESN'T KNOW WHY.

In my mind, he knows the Revolution happened, and the Czar as well as the Czarina were murdered and that's where it all stopped. ("The children are still alive, right? My Anya? My Alyosha?")

He probably chased her and waited for her to come down from trees XD especially when Liet couldn't convince her.

You have so much talent ♥
Your story line touched my heart as well. Wonderful job. ^-^

Yay, thank you and glad you liked it^^/

This post is so bloody heartbreaking and beautiful, dammit. ;___; THAT BASEMENT.

It's kinda upsetting that the house is gone now and replaced by a church. Otherwise...oh the things I can do with that plot bunny...

Oh, my heart ;_;

Oh, a doujin would be loverly :x

Thank you!

I am trying to work on several, hopefully I can get them in.

Thank you, I really had fun drawing that; in fact, that was the first pic of the series that I drew and then I couldn't stop O_O

Oh man! So cute! I love your style. ♥
