Hi I compiled all of my dvattra sketches into a zine. It's 62 pages of pure delusion and self indulgence, bon appetit.

some taiviet toxic codependent yuri thoughts, because they deserve angst and complexity as much as other pairings. fair warning that these hcs aren’t fluffy and lean more towards a unhealthy relationship interpretation.

- both are able to relate and understand each other from similar trauma and experiences from being under the rule of other countries for centuries

- both faced misogyny as women, they’re able to bond over having to be resilient as female nations

- both have some sort of facade that they won’t even drop around eachother, taiwan has a lot of repressed anger and is temperamental but keeps up the cute girl persona. same for vietnam, who constantly needs to stay stoic and unmoved to hide her vulnerabilities

- communication becomes a huge issue, since neither of them want to show their real feelings, which leads to misunderstandings and assumptions about one another

- taiwan sees vietnam as a protector, and vietnam plays into the protector role because she likes the sense of control. but as a consequence, vietnam is always expected to be the strong one and isn’t the one who is given care and allowed to be emotionally vulnerable

- they both have inferiority complexes related to their womanhood, taiwan wishes to be taken more seriously and not just be seen as a cutesy bubbly girl, yet she’s too scared to leave the comfort of it. vietnam wishes to be cared for and to be emotionally vulnerable, but it’s easier to be closed off and not risk being hurt. these insecurities play off each other

- vietnam kinda has a bit of toxic masculinity? she tries to take on the role of the “man” in the relationship which goes horribly because heteronormative relationship dynamics aren’t healthy. she feels ashamed to seem weak in front of taiwan when taiwan admires her strength so much

- taiwan struggles with codependency when it comes to vietnam, she gets scared she isn’t good enough for her and gets jealous and sometimes even possessive over her.

i kinda wanted to subvert the fanon depiction of them? they both are forced into one dimensional archetypes before being paired together, i wanted to play with the idea of these tropes causing issues in their relationship.

another note, vietnamese people and seasians are still treated poorly in taiwan, which i kinda wanted to reflect that nuance into how i view their relationship. please be cautious of the racial dynamic and the possible implications when you portray them as the popular fanon version or even mine.

*laughs in asterisks*

I forged true friendship on the battlefield the other day

Veronica: I just wanted to survive senior year, go to a nice college and leave Ohio. Is that too mich to ask?

Veronica: so wbag do you do? you join the most popular group in your school, develop a small tiny crush on the mythic bitch, meet a dreamy guy; but woops its all fun and games untill your dreamy boyfriend starts to act way too posesive, murdered three of my classmates and then later blew himself off after failing to blow the school up!

JFK: *meow*

Veronica: EXACTLY!

AHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA I AM GUILTY AS FUUUUUCK 

Wait I remembered another good ship dynamic

so cool!

i like the idea that yao’s memories about the distant past are not strictly reliable. and that it’s the same for any ancient, long-lived nation—and they therefore cannot really serve as perfectly objective and accurate accounts of the past for human historians. did the yellow emperor really exist in 2500 BCE? is he wholly made up, or a mix of a real person and embellishment? a deity who was later refashioned as a human king in people’s minds? who knows—when it’s so long ago that modern archaeologists and historians cannot fully establish the historicity and have all sorts of competing theories? imo, the soul and mind of a nation is bound to their people’s, and chinese historiography, like those of other nations, is fluid. so, some things are blurry and ambiguous even to the old nations, just like how we ourselves might have difficulties recounting very early childhood memories; even when we’re older, we misremember things. 

that isn’t to say there aren’t some fascinating and insightful perspectives one couldn’t learn from an ancient nation who has been there to see thousands of seasons; yao would say ‘i remember clearly the path of the yellow river and the ferocity of its floods when the world was young and i had not even a written language’. sometimes, the yellow emperor feels real to him, sometimes he doesn’t—but yao remembers with crisp clarity the very first time he carved his first characters into tortoiseshell bone, as well as the sight of the plum blossoms opening in spring on a particularly beautiful morning three thousand years ago. 

A drizzling rain falls during Qingming,

Travellers on the road are full of melancholy.

May I ask where the nearest tavern lies?
