Hi, I'm Ryn, she/her, I'm 22. I'll answer to Ryn or any variation of my username, which just means "humble wandering juggler."

here's my ao3.

My preferred period is the late/high middle ages, and I cross over to the early modern often, so that tends to be the stuff I can speak with the most authority on (however I have a fair handle on more early high/early medieval stuff too.) I tend to focus on insular history and literature more than anything else.

I hadn't thought about Hetalia since I was like 14, but life comes in cycles as they say, so I'm back in the building again. I'm particularly fond of FACE family dynamics and FrUk. You can probably sell me on just about any Ame ship, but I get a little picky with the others. (When I say that, please understand that I will toast to whatever ship is out there, it just might not be my favorite. I have no ship-based DNI, go crazy go stupid.)

It would probably be smart to have some sort of organized tagging system for my posts, but the best I've got is that I tag with the "hws" series and then country name for characters.

Asks are open!

congratulations to Matt and the entire nation of Canada for their first ever world cup victory

[comte-de-beauville]

Everyone is having fun and engaging in exciting matches this World Cup meanwhile Team England is getting hit with biblical plagues and is just

The hetalia version of recent world cup events that I want to see most badly is that the Scots have found the cop-slide.

re: my tags on my last post - in case you're curious, an attempt was made to use Salmonella to poison a town close to local elections by a cult in 1984 in Dalles, Oregon. Here's a NiH article on it.

rambling about alfred + cults the other day kind of makes me want to write a fic abt him joining a cult. or at least casually mentioning that hes joined cults and matthew going. yuo what. huh

[seerofmike]

also you should imagine in this scenario that he is wearing those big aviator style wire frame glasses that were popular in the 70s and hes grown his hair out a bit. important for the setting

[seerofmike]

alfred: i considered joining these ET worshipping people cuz tony exists so i was like why not. you know those times where you're like man i need a change i need to experience what the people are experiencing and then everything would make a bit more sense

matthew: you know al i really don't

[comte-de-beauville]

Just know Alfred is going crazy for these

[gildedgoldenamelia]

I didn't realize that there are three whole countries whose teams have basecamps in Missouri. Argentina, Netherlands, and England are all in M.O in the summer.

France is going to have a lovely time in Boston though.

[gildedgoldenamelia]

Europen nations arriving to their base camps in the US: Alfred, please. Its so hot...the humidity.... we don’t care that you don't care about the World Cup. Answer your phone and bring us water!

Alfred, in New York painted head to toe in orange and blue wearing all the Kicks gear he owns climbing up a post: The what cup?

[humble-aeruscator]

Legend of Dungeon Rock but Arthur takes the place of Thomas Veale and his pirate treasure is Alfred. And Alfred gets trapped underground in the 1638 earthquake, instead of the treasure, and Arthur's off in England.

[humble-aeruscator]

Actually I'm following up on this: there's two possibilities for how this all plays out. One, Alfred gets out in the 21st century. This is fun for all the reasons you might imagine it would be - and conveniently would drop him into a world where the relationship between the UK and US is actually good. Comes with a ton of weird implications about someone who hasn't seen the sun since he was 5 years old being a nuclear superpower. Option two, Alfred gets out earlier than the 21st century. Hiram Marble, who was a spiritualist and bought the land around Dungeon Rock in order to excavate for the hidden treasure, believing he could hear the ghost of Thomas Veale guiding him to it, could actually have been hearing Alfred. This would mean he misses the revolution, 1812, the Monroe Doctrine, and pretty much every other major development between 1638 and the Civil War.

(Personally, I think option two sounds very fun.)
