It’s Georgian Independence Day!

More of my girl Georgia <3

She got a lot more attention than I thought she would haha. Maybe I should make some hcs for her?

Colonial Florida, Carolinas, & Georgia

CW: depictions of violence

Just sharing some information on some of the southern states I have worked on.

I’ll start with Carlisle “Carl” Graves/ South Carolina & Margaret “Maisie” Ferguson / North Carolina. They’re half siblings. Carl’s father is probably some sort of English county personification (most likely Dorset), and his mother is an English woman with some French Huguenot heritage from Barbados who migrated with her family to South Carolina. Given the fact she’s in the tidewater south and given her class, having a kid out of wedlock was taboo so I imagine his father arranged for her to marry a man, who is of a northern English / Scottish background. They end up moving to North Carolina’s back country to be with his family, and have Maisie. In my lore, there is some discrimination, or prejudice especially in this period against personifications born to human parents. I imagine most settler colonial personifications have human parents, but the few that don’t like Carl, that has 1 personification parent, I believe that gives him some social clout. Also I decided to make North Carolina younger because tbph South Carolina was the seat of power and colonial North Carolina didn’t really get going without South Carolina. I also don’t go by earliest permanent settlement for a state-level oc, it doesn’t always make sense to me for a variety of reasons.

Anyways Carl is a bit controlling, and he’s more of a tidewater southerner, and Maisie loves her brother but doesn’t appreciate his controlling behavior. Also one final note on carl, he can come off a bit cold but he’s quite the stereotypical ideal of a southern gentleman. Charming. Polite. Etc. Maisie is more of an Appalachian ngl. I’ll discuss Maisie another time. But Carl’s , and his friend/neighbor, Curtis Bartlett/ Georgia childhood was marked by constant fights with the Spanish and their colonies especially Louisa Flores / Spanish Florida.

Obvs, that isn’t a great situation for a kid to find themselves in, and it does impact Carl’s controlling behavior and also makes him rather jealous of Alfred later. Alfred wasn’t always the US in my lore, and Carl believed that he would’ve been elected/ selected by his peers to represent this new country given Carl’s history and background. Also one other thing is prior to the Revolution, Alfred was not universally liked by his states. Actually he’s never been universally liked by his states lol. Anyways Carl does resent Alfred for a number of years.

I split Florida into two because it didn’t make sense to have 1 continuous Florida given the fact that most Floridanos (the Spanish settlers) leave during Florida’s British colonial period. Louisa ends up having a kid with an Anglo-American settler from the colonial backcountry, this kid is Elena/ Elaine Moore, who comes to represent the US state of Florida. I think Louisa hides the fact that Elaine is her kid for both their sakes since Elaine comes out really pale in comparison. I’ll discuss Elaine more in the future, she is 110% Florida woman tho lol, but sometimes you’ll see me draw her with much lighter skin and that’s cause like if Elaine isn’t going outside and tanning highkey she passes as a white woman.

White passing and its history is something I want to explore more in my lore, but yeah that’s all I’m gonna leave it with the basic info on these southern states. I will say out of all them, Maisie / North Carolina & Carl / South Carolina are major players in my Nor’easter lore lol

Some more 'lore' for Melodica.

I should probably mention around this time that Turkey is probably still the Ottoman Empire, so ignore him being called Turkey here that was a mix-up lmao.

Basically, Melodica (my made-up country oc) is sandwiched between the Ottoman Empire and the Russian Empire. So, this causes some 'ping-pong' with whose house she's staying at, with the fluctuating territories. This is all literally made up and based on me scrubbing through maps for fun. Oh, Georgia is also in this comic, it's odd designing countries that are not officially designed in Hetalia. But I tried my best. The first two images would probably take place in modern times when the two are on better terms. (Mel may have picked up a certain intimidation tactic over the years...)

@moicat

It be like that sometimes 🇬🇪🇬🇪

(She loves them)

i had the revelation that georgia, in my au, would've only been physically 6 years old during the american revolution... cue the hijinks of a group of 13-17 year olds converting this little girl into an england hater

So for the stream, I found a massive OC prompt list and randomly chose from my states to use for it. Here are some of the prompts I drew XD

These were so much fun and there are a handful more prompts to pick from! Maybe I'll do them for another stream.

Thank you to everyone who showed up and participated! It was lovely!

Tamar Davidasuli, the personification of Georgia

POV you said russia fights colonialism

need to see more caucasus hetalia characters. here is my offering: georgia

The year is 1918, the Caucasus trio has recently split up after attempting to be a single nation for one (1) month, and there's no way they would ever be in the same room like this.

Here are mochis of my state OCs (+ Staten Island)

Lindsey Stirling - Roundtable Rival (Official Music Video)

America rocking THIS out.

Another tie breaker

kinda glad there ain't a APH Georgia, because they'd probably be subjected at wimpfication by Hima

Yeah so this is right up there with my fear of him depicting Armenia. Luckily I'm pretty sure he isn't aware that the Caucasuses even exist.

Hopefully we're not the only one experiencing this, but the hatered toward APH Turkiye on rp is really concerning. Especially if its not nyo version, because nyo is loved because Hurrem Sultan ig. Almost noone wants to rp, and if they do, then it's only insulting Turkiye. Never any positive relations.

Inb4 - jest I am aware of the history of Balkans and Armenians, thank you.

But Poland and Russia are very often showed as "hihi I hate you (but not that much were still family)", yet when it comes to Turks they can't have one nice thing, even in past, even if they had/have extremely good relations with XYZ 🤨 if three wars are enough to cancel anything other then why there are any positive relationships between countries

(If you're doing Poland and Russia that way - that's fine, I'm not telling you to delete this relation)

France? Ukraine? England? Poland? Russia? There's like 5 users of all this countries combined, that we've met in our "career" that wanted to write something, other ignored.

"bUt tHaTs nOt iMpOrTaNt rElAtIoNsHiP fOr tHeSe cOuNtRiEs" stfu. That's only an indicator that YOU don't know them good enough to know about importance of Russia-Ottomans wars or that Brits occupied Ottoman Empire or how obsessed Poles are on the "Ottomans never recognized partitions!!!!!!!!!". That's your lack of knowledge and your personal prejudice.

I do get that you don't like politics of modern Turkiye, I get that you're playing as a nation that had wars, my favourite muses are Georgia and Kurdistan, b u t there's a difference between "oh yeah they fought bloody wars in past but I acknowledge both past and present in their relationship, so my muse wont be too found of Turkiye" and "I will ignore anything thats not a war so I can insult your character".

Sorry for rant, but like seriously, hetalia rp fandom turns into 1821's Greece as soon as Turkiye enters the chat
