So question for Aestii mun. I loved the look of your prop arrows and was wondering where you got them as I want to cosplay an archer for an upcoming con

...I don’t really know much about props... They were real arrow. Have you tried EBay? That’s where most cosplay stuff comes from for me.. Or buy sell swap groups.. Or get longbow fletchings and nocks, you could try your hand at making con-safe arrows? Good luck nontheless! -Aestii Mun

For anyone/everyone: how did you react when you saw your children from up there being beaten up / badly injuried / beheaded and knew you cannot do anything about it?

“Let’s just say….I did not handle it…well…”

“I was reduced to hysterics… Knowing that I can no longer protect my children… It is heartbreaking.”

I did everything I could do. At some point children have to handle themselves. I know whatever pain they meet will make them stronger for the future. I trust they will do great.

Can we see an ancient world meeting?

Rome:

Aestii:

And usually only there for the food

Iberia:

Probably also flirting with Gaul too

Carthage: *Actually trying to get work done, distracted by Rome*

Byzantium: The man over there with no relation to me needs to shut up. Now.

Also Byzantium: *ignores everyone except Kievan Rus and works out more trading arrangements with her because no one else wants to talk to me anyway*

Caledonia: *Aims for Rome´s head*

What are the ancients favourite songs from the last 30 years?

Aestii:

((For those who don’t know, it’s here ))

#aph rome #anonymous #aph aestii

For Germania it is either

depending on his mood. (He secretly kind of loves modern day clothing.)

Magyar:

Basically he is a dirty hipster in his clothing style. It is whatever he is comfortable in or what his daughter gets him.

Iberia:

She really has a love for clothing of the modern day

Aestii:

She doesn’t understand modern clothes.

Minoa:

even her casual clothes have fashion

Rome:

Dresses are the closest thing he can get to tunics, a little shorter and more tighter around his chest than what he’s used to, but you gotta do what you gotta do since pants/trousers are still incredibly barbaric

So we all know what you look like now. What did you all look like when you were younger/children?

Rome as a child

Iberia as a child

Carthage as a child (oh so long before his burns)

Ah yes, the trials and tribulations of getting little Aldrich’s hair not looking like a bird nested in it.

Kievan Rus as a child, to which, she still had sister issues..

Scandinavia was a very scared and lonely child, after being left by her sister she developed trust issues and took refuge in the magical creatures of her realm.

Gaul, as a child, had yet to realize the importance of clothing..

As a child, Minoa was very reserved and shy.

Hello. What would everyone's houses be if they were at Hogwarts?

Magnihildr Skadia: 6th year, Gryffendor with Ravenclaw traits

Nadya Kovalenko - 5th year Slytherin pureblood, with a love of messing with people. She’s very uptight and vain, with the mindset of pureblood supremacy over halfbloods and mudbloods. She’s also good with most subjects, but is best with charms and potions, and she is quite the duelist.

Romulus Vargas: 5th year Hufflepuff, halfblood with a furry trait passed down from his father (which his twin didn’t get). Surprisingly adept at healing charms, as the furry little problem has healing needs. Has shown his skill in prophecies during divination (no good came out of that). Even though he gets good marks in most classes, he has a tendency to forget his homework and bums it off of Resheph.

Resheph - 5th year Ravenclaw. He is a pureblood and always works his very hardest to be top of his class in everything. Somehow he always ends up having to help his “best friend” Romulus out with his homework, and how their ties gets mixed up is definitely a *cough* mystery *cough*

Cisila ‘Nina’ Carriedo- 4th year Slytherin. She is a muggle born who is more focused on messing with her friends than her homework sometimes. She can often be caught sneaking in snacks into her classes and sharing with people she likes, trying to make as many friends as she can. She has a huge resentment to Resheph dsue to a prior conflict that she will not speak about. The only real class she has ever struggled with is potions because she tends to mix up her measurements and once exploded a cauldron.

Aldrich Beilschmidt - 6th year halfblood Slytherin. Transferred from Durmstreng in his fourth year, when his family moved. Actually read the newest edition of “Hogworts, A History - Edited and remastered by Hermionie Granger” and can’t for the life of him understand why British wizards think the school is so safe.

Adalinda Laurantis: 5th Year Muggleborn Ravenclaw. A little on the dim side. She is constantly forgetting things. She is constantly getting lost. She has a great fear of heights. Her favourite subject is Care of Magical Creatures. She is often the laughing stock of the class. She is always positive. One time, she was not at a lesson because she thought it was in Moaning Myrtle’s toilet (Thank you Mr Malfoy) She is what is known as accident prone and will trip over thin air or rather get tripped up by ghosts (Thank you Peeves)

#anonymous #please ignore germania mun's spelling mistake

I just want to tell you to ignore people who complain about ancients from Africa or Asia being portrayed a "wrong way". Do you know which personifications they never complain about? Scandinavia. Or Slavs. Or basically anything white. Hetalia is for fun. There is NO way to present a culture 100% correctly. Those damn self entitled racists should shut up. ~Sincerely, a white European who also disagrees with a way you present some things but is able to enjoy this blog anyway. Keep it as it is.

Hello!, I’m not sure if I can answer this but it’s very rare to find fellow Europeans so… Yeah. I don’t know about the other muns but I’m all up for constructive critisism.. I do worry about how I’m portraying my character (It differs from some interpretations) and don’t really want to offend people of that culture. Thank you for enjoying the blog anyway (I enjoy being part of it).. The fact that you like it makes me happy (Even if I’m not the one to make it great like the other muns) ~Aestii Mun

Who would you all be from Arrow/The Flash/Legends of Tomorrow?

I have taken this one on myself and it has taken a lot of thought.

FIRESTORM/Jackson Jefferson and Martin Stein: Rome and Germania

Rome being Jefferson and Germania being Stein. Germania has the brains and Rome won’t listen. They pee each other off but somehow manage to make a fairly unstoppable team

Rome

Germania:

And together:

Sara Lance: Scandinavia

A badass no matter who you are. She’s smart, good in battle and can hold her own. She wears many battle scars and would do anything to protect her family. She can use many weapons and is also good at hand to hand combat. Overall, an amazing lady.

Cisco Ramon: Aestii

A quirky character who’s afraid of the power they have. Always having bad luck when it comes to dating and overall hates to be violent. Although will always be by your side and never short of a bad joke/nerdy reference.

Count Vertigo: Dacia

A psychopath. Need I say more?

Malcom Merlyn/Dark Archer: Finnic

Strives for perfection. So much that he once tried to destroy a part of a city because of where it was. Won’t hesitate to kill you.

John Diggle: Iberia

Very kind and caring. Loves their family and friends. They are someone you can share a drink with and in certain situations will kill. They have been through a lot and will use this to advise others.

Ray Palmer/The A.T.O.M: Minoa

Kind and caring. Very intelligent and friendly. They will risk it all for a friend. Tends to rush into things though but is always there to make you laugh/smile/cheer you up.

Laurel Lance: Gaul

Friendly. Will do anything for anyone. Wants to make a difference. Funny kind and very funny. Can be known to hold a grudge though.

Heatwave/Mick Rory: Macedonia

Rough and tough. Need I say more?

Shado: China

Knowledgeable, pretty and very good at fighting. Will protect the people they love and an incredible teacher. Wise and brave.

Captain Cold/Leonard Snart: Caledonia

Appears rough and tough on the outside but has a heart of gold. Will protect those he cares about. His past makes it difficult to trust but once he has your trust, he’s an ally you’ll want to keep.

Hawkgirl and Hawkman/Kendra Saunders and Carter Hall: Byzantium and Kievan Russia

Destined to be together. Even in death

Caitlin Snow: Ancient Greece

Kind, considerate and thoughtful. She cares deeply for everyone. She is very intelligent and not one for fighting. She has a warm heart of gold.

Roy Harper/Arsenal: Carthage

He’s got a lotta demons but his heart is in the right place. He’s very strong and will be by your side when he learns to trust you.

Felicity Smoak: Britannia

She is funny, a little quirky but will always say her opinion. She will tell you if she doesn’t like something and will refuse to do what she doesn’t want to do. Set in her ways. Very stubborn.

Harrison Wells (Not Eobard Thawne version): Maygar

Caring. Kind and always helpful. He is smart. He cares very deeply for his daughter and despite not having the mother there to help raise her, he has done a pretty good job alone. Whilst he may not always get it right, he’s working hard to try.
