@thenationclauseandothers
hiii so I finally got around to making a blog after people asked for it? yeah it's me, the fabled anon from Freegiftjones. hi hello, I haven't been in this fandom since I was like thirteen. Call me Fae if you wanna call me anything. the Sanrio stuff is a placeholder but it also might not be a placeholder. thanks for being so into my dumb ideas 🩷🩷
Turning this into a pinned post
oliver to me is like milo murphy if he was pink
I don't go here but after a quick google search I cannot say you're that wrong, just give him the impossible weight of being a nation and make him commit a few atrocities and you'd be a good of the way there I think
"He is endlessly loyal to his nation and crown and family - in that order."
This is going to cause such drama and heartbreak when it comes to the Revolution. I'm currently mapping that out in my own notes and it's so much fun. Oliver the parent to support his children, but will make offhanded remarks that sometimes takes them back and makes them rethink who their father is.
Jamie is the loyal son who does his best to fit in his fathers vision, till he has to make a choice. Personally, I think it would be very interesting to make Jamie a British officer, even during the war, up until a breaking a point; he must choose between crown and and people, nation and colony.
----𓅂----
"You can't do this. I will not allow you to do this!"
"You have little say regarding what I can and cannot do at this point, father. I have given you my all. My loyalty, my love, my life- and still you do not treat me as I rightfully deserve to be. An equal, both in parliament and court. I have done everything you have ever asked! And for what? To be a treasured token, stuffed away in your pocket?"
"You are my son-"
"No. No, I was your son. Until you had your men kill my own. He was just a boy, and you had him killed!"
You get me you get it you get it omg!!! its the perfect recipe for drama because he's loyal to his family as long as it doesn't betray his crown and he's loyal to his crown as long as it doesn't betray his nation, and on paper this sounds so good, until you know. The Revolution.
Also your writing is superb what the hell
reading the tv tropes page on cuckoocloudlanders to help me with oliver's characterization like
bold take, I think that arthur is on the edge of being a cuckoocloudlander but he's just so fucking repressed that it doesn't happen for him. cuckoocloudlanders kind of don't care if people think they're a little odd or eccentric but arthur cares so deeply that he is seen as a proper gentleman he cares so so sooo much.
in this case it's because he has to live up to the legacy of his grandfather, and feels like he doesn't have the leniency that was allowed to said grandfather. grandpapa Ollie had hundreds of years behind him and was already known as a great man by the time arthur was born. he had enough privilege with his legacy and his standing that he could be known as a fun little eccentric without it costing him much of anything. while arthur is very new relatively speaking and probably directly correlated with the fall of the empire, even if it's in a positive to neutral way.
I got carried away here, basically there is a weird little guy in both of them and oliver let the weird little guy out more often, while arthur buries him deep down inside where he will meet with him never. he carries the whimsy in his soul bc you can't not when oliver is the man who raised you, but whether or not he expresses said whimsy really depends.

Hi I've been lurking but I am here with a Thought.
Been thinking heavily about Jamie and (Musical) Hamilton's soliloquy in "The World Was Wide Enough", like—
"Legacy, what is a legacy? It's planting seeds in a garden you never get to see. I wrote some notes at the beginning of a song someone will sing for me. America, you great unfinished symphony, you sent for me."
Like!!!! First American NP, a whole country ahead of you, and then...
This AU is just so scrumptious.
thanks for coming out of hiding! I feel you, I lurked for ages before I actually started saying things lol. consider, that lyric is jamie metaphorically singing to alfred. imagine it in ur head if you will
Martha Lou-Ann Baxter, the first and only woman to be the np of the US between 1889 to 1932. Advocate for equal rights and perhaps the biggest headache to the US government at that time. As the status of the US np was hotly contested ever since the Civil War, many did not believe she was the actual np till she proved her mark to be true.
That's all I have on her for now, but she was a menace lol. Debated for fun, very well educated, and loved to point out the hypocrisy of the government- especially the constitution when it came to equal rights. Since she was an np, she was reluctantly given time to speak. Did NOT get along Truman. They absolutely loathed one another.
She and Oliver also did not get along at all. She was always very quick to bring up how the mess of the US succession was his fault.
Besties with Madeleine though.
omg I love her already. this au is kind of built to be the oc machine and I'm Living for it. makes me dream of a world where amelia put on that bomber jacket instead honestly
Alfred baby faced Jones is like 5'4 and was probably going to stay that way forever, until he became America. Then he shot up to 5'11 and needs glasses now and starts gaining scars for injuries he never had. Then he looks in the mirror one day and he doesn't look quite as baby faced anymore and he isn't sure how to feel about it, also he's literally still nineteen.
I have a little self indulgent au where Arthur is a fisherman and he accidentally drags up a baby mermaid Alfred in one of his nets one day, takes place in the 60s because it's a time period I personally don't write for enough. he's lonely but otherwise content and self medicates his Illnesses with alcohol and whatever he can dig out of the woods. Francis is an old friend who lives more in town than at the edge of nowhere like what Arthur apparently likes, a librarian, brings him meals sometimes and overstays his welcome.
Oh and Alfred is based on a lemon shark bc they're the puppies of the sea I feel
anyway I think Francis smells like yeast and butter bc he bakes all the damn time, which unintentionally makes him the most homey presence to be around. part of his warmth is very intentional but that one is just coincidence
In case I ever forgot to imply it alfred isn't actually happy with the actions of america as a nation state and part of this is him being made to represent an entity that, if he was forced to make an opinion on, he dislikes. not quite hates because that requires energy he doesn't have (and he'd rather spend the energy doing anything else) but a near apathetic not-rightness that lives with him from day to day. he's poor and was lost in the foster care system and is vaguely aware of what people are at fault for his suffering. he has a fun mix of enjoying patriotic iconography but disliking the nation that it's tied to. he wants to do something about it but he never wanted to do something about it while in the shoes of a politician, or in the ever changing body of someone taking in the nations triumphs and sins one cell at a time, he wanted to work at soup kitchens or become a social worker or something ykno
hi this has nothing to do with hetalia, here's a pic of my kity
here is my second kity

imagine being matthew williams nation clause and going to meet the new american np after the last one met a tragic end (this is a common experience, you've been told) and so you make your way down to dc or something and you meet the most babie looking babie that has ever babied. he looks like he's in highschool but he insists he's nineteen, which makes barely a difference because that is basically an infant, who the hell let this guy take the mantle there had to have been a better plan. and then he tells you that he's super sorry for running over the last guy and you're like what. and then his sister walks in and glares at you
you take them out to some diner or something so he can have fifteen minutes of not being in nation hell, turns out he's a dork. he clearly likes meeting new people even if this day has clearly been really stressful for him. apparently the last np told him to put on the bomber jacket, which is an asshole move, but this kid seems to take it as a personal responsibility and not as someone going out of their way to give everyone a harder time. you don't blame him for a thing being honest. his sister has stopped glaring at you but she doesn't talk much, maybe she's shy. anyway by the end of the day you've accidentally mentally adopted them both

I giggle a little whenever I see that hetalia meme that's like, what's ur favorite character, what character do you look like the most, etc, because like. like. if/when I do that one, curse of hetalia having p much no black characters is that I have one option for who resembles me the most and that option is cuba
