Unfinished FraSerb fic
OH NO I FORGOT ABOUT @hetalia-rarepairweek !
I had my mind off of Alt-talia for a while! I haven’t finished the fics I wanted to submit! Aaaaaa-
Oh well, here, have a teaser for a Serbia -> Nyo France fic I had in the works.
It was supposed to be a spin-off of the also unfinished Bons Baisers De Russie, so it’s Day 5: Historical. Though most my fics are Historical. I might not even finish BBDR and this might become a standalone fic.
As I mentioned, this fic is one-sided, much like BBDR. France has a lot of admirers lol.
I think I knew to some extent how Francophilic Serbs were for a time, especially in the late 1800s to mid 1900s, but my god when I found out the sheer depth of it I had to write this fic. Let’s just say that some French travelers wrote that “Serbia is the most Francophile country in the world” back in the day.
Also, I envisioned Serbia as his Yugotalia self, because his canon design is bland.
Warning: This takes place during WWI. For added context, this is after the invasion of Serbia by the Central Powers, and the Serbian forces, along with a bunch of civilians, are making the arduous trip to be rescued by Allied ships.

So apparently I never shared the shortcut to happiness that is making a lacy parasol. Let me rectify that:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I found this plastic parasol in a thrift shop, I think it was a prop for a restaurant or something. Pretty, but not actually functional as a parasol (it got to 40c when i made this, i had ample opportunity to test it out).
I had lacy parasols on the brain and before I could convince myself to try and tat one, I realised I had lace too sturdy for dresses, and also this doily:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
This worked so well. I zigzagged over the lace and then cut the back (an old tablecloth with a permanent stain) away carefully. I cleaned the parasol of the old glue and glued the new fabric on with fabric glue, handstitching down the edge.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
It had to dry overnight, but it was done in time for me to parade around with. Instant happiness.

started reading robin 2021 and i wanted to take the time to appreciate two of the most beautiful spreads in issue #1. they captivated me with how gorgeous and momentous they felt, which must have been the point bc i ended up staring at them sm that the symbolism finally kicked in
SPREAD 1:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
1) LOVE the red and green at play, it’s such a difficult color scheme to get right lest you end up making the whole piece feel like a christmas card, but gleb melnikov pulled it off. the environment is rich and elegant and well-contrasted; it rly brings out damian’s classic red/green robin combo, even tho he’s not actually wearing his robin suit here. the green of his clothing highlights the green of talia’s, as well as the assassin’s tattoos, and, when combined with the cool-toned background, makes the red just pop out at you. pretty palette aside, it’s a very calculated choice in colors.
2) speaking of red, melnikov rly wanted you to notice the blood in these two pages. from the emphasis of the words DEMON BLOOD to the reflection of damian in the blood puddle, it only draws attention to the fact that his blade is perfectly clean of it in the second panel. one can only assume that talia killed that guy so hard that damian’s sword was caught in the collateral (damn talia !). it frames damian as the one to land the killing blow, as though his doubts/restraint with killing mean nothing because he still has the blood on his hands, blood passed down from talia. that doesn’t necessarily make it true ofc, but it does give us a reflection of his mindset with the blood acting as a literal mirror.
now before we delve into the second spread, lemme preface this with some context: many characters will refer to damian as an actual bird (“what better way to take out a robin than with a hawke,” “i’ve fought little birds like you before,” etc.) which speaks to his reputation, but i think it’s most notable when coming from talia:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
at first, it’s used condescendingly, as it usually is from most ppl, and she speaks in a possessive tone when she talks abt returning him to the nest. she even tells him that if he IS to be taken under her wing, she would not treat him as her son but as a weapon. however, we know that this contradicts her intentions as she later uses the same “baby bird” petname as a term of endearment, even to calling him her son—notably when he is out of earshot.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
you get the sense that they have this unspoken code of conduct around each other—family dynamics tend to be rigid in that way—but there’s also this feeling of regret as well as unfamiliarity navigating it coming from talia. i mean, she said it herself: damian was just a baby bird. he flew out of the nest too early.*
*see read more
Tumblr media
so why does she taunt him for running back to his mother? why is she pushing him away? and why does she monologue for so long that she lets her guard down and closes her eyes long enough for him to disappear…?
SPREAD 2:
Tumblr media
BECAUSE DAMIAN IS JUMPING OUT OF THE HELICOPTER!!! BECAUSE TALIA IS PUSHING HIM OUT OF THE NEST !!!!
talia doubled down on her militaristic plans as an opening for damian to leave. with that sense of regret mentioned earlier, talia knows she raised damian under harsh conditions, but she doesn’t know to raise him differently either, so she urges him to find his own path. presenting “the way of the demon or the way of the bat” as the only 2 options to her already rebellious son was guaranteed sabotage. she pushed him too early when he was younger, but she knows that her baby bird is ready to fly now :”)
bonus: what a classic jason todd move to wear a mask underneath your mask btw. guess it just runs in the family! (but on a deeper, unironic level, damian switches out both his robin and his demon suit into this new one. this obviously symbolizes his forging a new path, but also reveals his intent/doubts abt the whole confrontation. a mask underneath his mask? he was never truly looking to rejoin the league. after running away from bruce, he runs to talia to test the waters and see if he would do better there. and when it ends in the same shadowing of an ambitious parent, he ditches the whole thing. the fact that he had a back-up plan meant that his heart wasn’t in it, just as talia’s heart wasn’t in keeping him caged. a confirmation bias given permission by a mother’s facade. god, the al ghul mindgames are truly smth to behold)
*so much can be said abt how talia’s approach to parenting parallels and contrasts bruce’s. they both have the same good intentions for their son, and they both realize that he’s too young to face what he had and what he’s abt to. but talia wants to start the healing process of her control in his upbringing, and bruce wants to prevent damian from having to face it alone knowing firsthand what suffering he “endured to become batman.” one is letting go, the other is desperate to bring him back.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
it’s such a fascinating look into the push and pull of their fatal flaws and mistakes as parents, as well as making them feel human and reasonable within the limits of all they know and are capable of. OF COURSE they’re overcompensating for their regrets, that’s just so… them!
and the fact that you can see both parents’ traits and influence in damian as he searches for his own identity just makes the whole family feel well-rounded. robin 2021 is so good you guys, it’s too fucking good

I’m reading some Batman comics from the 70s when I got to Detective Comics #411 aka Talia’s debut without realizing!! So here’s my very quick thoughts!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
She has bangs??
Tumblr media
It looks like she pushed them to the side to make curtain bangs but I was not expecting that!
Tumblr media
“Thank the gods” oh man this opens up so many questions about the League. I always assumed they were secular or that Ra’s wouldn’t allow anyone to worship somebody above him so this is really interesting
Tumblr media
Absolute glorious first meeting (beyond her nursing him back to health)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
She’s studying medicine!! She cries after killing a man who kidnapped her to save Bruce’s life!! What happened to the poor girl (other than stupid writing) to make her the character she is today 😢

Alt-Talia: The Fall of Rome
Hello! It was about time I submitted something for @historical-hetalia-week!
This is for Day 3: 0 to 1500 AD. I know I’m late, but I was working really hard to get past my writer’s block to get this thing out! Hopefully I’ll be able to post more after this, especially tomorrow.
So I wrote this after watching some videos on the Fall of Rome, and how our perception of it… Is a bit simplistic. You’ll see what I mean. It’s also great to elaborate on medieval Roman history, especially because the Byzantine Empire is kind of neglected in Hetalia and Hetalia fanworks.
Byzantium merely made a cameo in “Mystical Creatures” and that’s all I’ve written about him, so I’m happy to be able to finally elaborate on him!
First, I feel I should clarify something though: an Egg Realm is a country in waiting. They cannot age past the physical age of 6, and can form from sexual reproduction or just show up out of nowhere.
Also, I don’t make Germania one character. Because that’s stupid. He’s a bunch of different characters, representing different tribes.
Also, Alt-talia has different characterizations from canon; Rome is more of a hardass. He’s less a jolly boisterous oaf and more a strict, if still forceful, military guy. Though because he’s older here he’s a bit more laid-back, if not as much of a party guy as his canon self.
Also there’s a lot of characters popping up left and right here, so careful there.
Content warnings: Mentions of disease, death, misogynistic POV character.
