I wondered how I could update Arthur's style to current trends so he isn't wearing that godforsaken green sweater with a red tie that he's had since fucking 1930 lmao. A looser fit for his clothes esp his trousers and white sneakers for a casual look will do the job without losing his essence. Then I got carried away and gave him two more fits
Together they're the Rowdyruff boys 🫶 daft cunts, all of them
Tucumán con una bebé Argentina (Tina de DolceMinerva) ✨🥺💓
Un poquitín de lore abajo sobre como veo la relación de Argentina con sus provincias ⬇️⬇️⬇️
Las provincias son preexistentes a la nación (de hecho, se dice que ellas crearon al estado nacional), por lo que, a mi parecer, describirlas como "hijos" de Argentina no es adecuado. Su relación es mucho más compleja que eso y varía de un caso a otro.
Algunas de las provincias más antiguas cuidaron de la futura Argentina en su más tierna niñez y muchas de ellas aún mantienen un fuerte sentimiento de afecto hacia su Patria. Por ejemplo, Tucumán le tiene verdadero cariño fraternal a Tina: La cuidó de bebé y desde entonces desarrolló su sentimiento de protección y en función a eso ha decidido apoyarla en todos sus proyectos.
Durante las guerras civiles, cuando algunas provincias se oponían a los planes del gobierno nacional, Miguel (Tucumán) acató las órdenes de Agustina sin chistar, participando incluso en campañas militares para someter a Rocío (La Rioja) durante el proceso de pacificación. También fue a batallar en la guerra del Paraguay, a diferencia de otras provincias que se opusieron al conflicto (y hasta se rebelaron).
Lo mismo ocurre con Jesús (Santiago del Estero), a él NO LE IMPORTA vivir en la más grande pobreza si eso significa que Agustina pueda vivir bien, aun cuando ella se olvide de él y lo deje de lado por ser una provincia que no entraba en su modelo económico. Él en especial se peleó con Rocío en el siglo XIX y cortaron su amistad porque no le gustó para nada que la riojana se oponga a los proyectos de Argentina, la vio como una traidora y se ofreció a pacificarla él mismo, pero le dieron ese trabajo a San Juan (igual invadió La Rioja, pero Franco lo corrió apenas lo vio en el área ajsjd no iba a dejar que toque a su neña)
Por el contrario, hubo provincias como La Rioja que no desarrollaron ese sentimiento de protección y afecto hacia Agustina, al contrario, hasta se sintieron defraudadas por ella y llegaron a sentir algo de rencor en cierto momento.
Si bien actualmente Rocío y Agustina se llevan bien porque obviamente son provincia y nación, hubo un momento en el que su relación tuvo un quiebre y se vieron como una AMENAZA. Rocío quería quererla (?) pero Agustina la veía como una amenaza que había que aplastar.
“….It is not fit that such great warriers should fight anymore, but that they should remain like women who were not warriers…. treaty is held sacred all this time and they say it will until the party that put the coat onto them shall take it off, or break the treaty.” - Thayendanegea to Holmes 1801 regarding the Haudenosaunee-Lenape Peace of 1669.
This is just a quick little drawing of “Sara”/Min-asin-ink/ Munsee Lenape & her sister Wënami/ Unami Lenape around the time of this peace treaty.
Indigenous histories is something I’m trying to understand more as its own separate history of US & Canadian canon. And as my main focus has always been New York City, and given that “Sara” is Lynn/NYC’s biological mother, I was curious as to what happens to her following the theft of her lands with the founding of New Netherlands. Lynn is also a lot like her mother. Sara is a bit of busy body, a bit nosy, but very charming and she has a way with words- historically allows her to make good deals and treaties what have you. Lynn is also like this except Lynn is probably the poster child of girlboss capitalism 😔 Lynn is like monopoly woman. Also “Sara”’s sister Wënami is Luke/Philadelphia’s mom.
The tl:dr on Lynn’s relationship to her mother is: it’s rocky. I think they both love each other. But Lynn has spent much of her time as a settler personification and has adopted very different values than her mother’s values. So sometimes they, but more so Lynn, get on each other’s bad side. Also both are quite stubborn
I plan on expanding further and making proper designs and lore for other nations, but my main focus is settler-colonial history. I want to eventually discuss the events of Tecumseh’s War against the United States because it’s a pivotal moment in settler and indigenous histories but we never fully discuss the Indigenous sides of it. So I’m trying to learn more about each nation outside of their relationship to settler-colonial powers hence why I also focused on the great peace of 1669.
Info dump below the cut
Also I want to quickly note that the Lenape were made of several different groups prior to colonization, and could be broken culturally into Munsee and Unami, but this changes with colonization. I assume “Sara” & her sister are the youngest the Lenape personifications given that they represent the broader groups.
Historically, it was like highkey the Haudenosaunee Confederacy versus everyone and their mother. But in 1669 the Lenape along with the Mohicans brokered a peace deal with the Haudenosaunee. This treaty in effect by calling the lenape women gave them a nation status of being peace makers and also gave them neutrality within international conflict.
This status explains a lot about how “Sara” and her sister were able to survive but also why they later align themselves with the Haudenosaunee, or the Cherokee or why they were involved in Tecumseh’s war.
Sketch of Russia and Bologna ❤️ Rusogna? Rusbol?
I don't care I love this new little ship ç_ç
For Bologna I chose a style mixed between mechanic/artisan and academic/artist and wavy hair.
I wanted to put something in the hand that Russia is hiding behind his back, but I really don't know what…
Maybe a medal, considered that Bologna is the gold medal of the Resistance, mmh…
Suggestions are welcome!
Desde que escuché este audio supe que era perfecto para Rocío 🥺
En 1863 estaba completamente sola contra el resto de las provincias (e incluso su Patria la resentía)
