• grand canyon, az

hallelujah, I finally visited the gorgeous, gorgeous grand canyon on the south rim and it is... phenomenal. me and a stranger teared up and it was a real human moment.

and an extra scene redraw:

I feel the cordial moments between Russia and America are soooo underrated. Such as the Poltava aka Operation Frantic (the joint US-Soviet base operations in Eastern Europe in WW2), Van Cliburn (the American pianist who won the first International Tchaikovsky Competition in Moscow), Apollo-Soyuz Space Mission (do you know US & USSR even co-produced commemorative cigarettes), and if we go back in history, there was 1863 when Russia sent fleets to America to show support for the Union (“God bless the Empire that loves the great Union; Strength to her people! Long life to the Czar!”) and when Nicholas I invited American engineers to help build the first railway between St. Petersburg and Moscow, and so on. They share far more history than that meets the eye.

yeah buddy ‼️

our favorite golden retriever boy's bday is soon AND powwow season is just around the corner so here's some indigenous headcanons I've got for alfred f. jones!

he is actively attempting to learn every single native language within his region, but fluently speaks osage, dine bizaad, hopi, mvskoke, and algonquian massachusett and ojibwa

he is the embodiment of sunshine. he can make everyone laugh, and that includes babies. that being said, he has been the reason for at least 100+ babies' first laughs and has proudly thrown parties for each of their families as per the navajo tradition

him (and matt) fully volunteer to drum and sing at powwows, especially at small town ones. they will roadtrip across canada and the us during the summer and absolutely bring the party to the 49. they also do it to overindulge in piccadilly and indian tacos

he is not a religious person but he does acquiesce in spiritual traditions he has picked up from native elders. the major one he uses is smudging. alike the kid from 'sixth sense', he sees dead people-- or ghosts to be exact lol. and he hates them! which is why he will often smudge and pray early in the morning, once a week, to cleanse any spirits from his house

smokes are always in his possession. while he does smoke on occasion, he mostly carries them with him for exchanges. for example, if he encounters a cool mineral on the roadside, instead of just taking it, he will leave tobacco behind as a show of appreciation

he feeds the rez dogs exponentially (even when everyone at every rez keeps telling him not to fuckin do that, you shitass)

put him on your rob list because he owns so many beaded jewelry and turquoise, it may just pay off your student loans and then some

his mutton sandwiches and navajo burgers will make you fall in love with him, no joke

the most beautiful thing is knowing there is not one single face to a country

but dude, I... [bites my fist] please, I'm so far gone and this just grabbed me by my sapphic ass neck and CHOKED ME

it was magnificent. the way that author described the suffocating room, the uncomfortability. then the way they immediately just devour each other. biting, blood, gripping, pulling in-- god I'm just such a slut for their dynamic... CURSE YOU ANON!!!

happy new years everyone! it's been a while since I've felt a part of community and the hetalia fandom has been kind to me time and time again. much love to y'all, hope to see more of everyone this upcoming year

whenever I feel like I'm not drawing AJ correctly, I give him dimples and immediately rejoice
