69 for ColCa, 21 for Rusty & Kitty and 5 for Chris & Evelyn :]
Well, my beloved, either you picked awful numbers, or I have awful taste in music (unlikely for the Cyrano soundtrack features heavily on my Wrapped this year), because #69 is Mongolian rock music, #21 actually will work for that ship but not in a fun way, and #5 is the song I use to try to calm down my dog whenever the concept of wind gives her anxiety.
Anyhow, everyone whose old enough to remember when this was a Hetalia state OC blog, watch me return to my embarrassing ways.
Also, my most beautiful dearest... Tumblr has FUCKED their post editing and I really despise doing THREE of these fuckers in ONE ask. Goddamn NIGHTMARE post.
This ask is in reply to
#69, Carson and Roberto
"I'll pick #69 for the horniest characters," Katie thought. "Surely the funny number will correspond with a song that's worthy of the number." And then Jess looked at her playlist and found Mongolian rock music. Which was good music, but FREAKING HARD to adapt for these characters.
Absolutely no warnings for this, but the others will feature content warnings of a sort.
*
"What on earth are you listening too?" Carson asked as Roberto was at his desk in the living room, editing a movie script and actually wearing his reading glasses for once.
"Music." Roberto answered, chewing on the end of his pen. A habit he'd developed when he quit smoking.
"I can tell that." Carson deposited the decaf coffee next to his significant other, before taking a sip from his bottle of beer. "But where the heck is it from?"
"Mongolia." Roberto answered. "Bev sent me the album, said 'it fucks severely'. And she was right, it does."
Carson bit back a chuckle. "Of course she did. Is that script even set in Asia?"
"The vibes I need to edit does not have to match the vibes of the screenplay."
"Doesn't answer my question."
Roberto doesn't even glance at him, making a few quick edits and then frowning at something. Carson could have sworn he heard Roberto mutter well that's just a little too cliche for me even as he scribbled something out. Carson just watched him work, and sighed, settling down on the couch with his beer. Roberto's dogs were already fast asleep in their beds.
In a little while, he'd drag him off to bed. But for now, he'd just listen to this music with Roberto, and wonder if that script was set anywhere near Mongolia.
*
#21, Rusty and Kitty
Well. Sure this won't be sad/dark/SOMETHING EMOTIONAL.
Quick Author's note: This is set sometime in the late 1800s, North Carolina, and contains some allusions period typical racial violence. However, the characters, being capable of resurrection, do more violence in revenge. So you're warned in advance.
*
The problems always began when the area they'd managed to eek away a safe place to live in became too settled. When more people came, and asked questions about why a black woman and a white man were living together. Of course, Rusty knew that if the situation were reversed, it would be far worse. But still...
Here he and Kitty were, resurrecting in the ashes of their burned cabin. It wasn't the first time, and it wouldn't be the last. Slowly, he got up, and went looking for their stash.
The spare clothes, food and water, and the weapons were out by the time Kitty stirred. Rusty helped her clean up and get dressed before he worried too much about himself. But once they were both done, they looked at each other with tired eyes.
When they'd come home after re-admittance to the Union, they'd both prayed things would get better. But as Reconstruction had faded away, they'd watched it all go to hell again. Rusty didn't even have to ask Kitty, tossing her a fully loaded pistol and a rifle with a bayonet already affixed.
They didn't speak. No banter of Yellowhammer or Tar Heel. Kitty simply crested the slight hill to look down on the town, and when Rusty joined her, she pointed out the houses of each of the men who'd burned down their home. Tired green eyes met exhausted brown ones, and they sat down, recovering and waiting.
And when night had fallen again, when the town was silent and still with sleep, they went down.
They stayed at each other's backs as they broke down doors and walked into bedrooms. As they shot their way through men who had shot them. They only killed the ones who'd been involved, leaving the others in each family behind.
And in the morning, they were somewhere in the mountains, sitting on stolen horses, and nursing cups of coffee with reloaded pistols.
Others in the north could preach about peace. Of a house divided reuniting. But the North, the Union, had abandoned them.
Alabama took North Carolina's hand as she walked them further south. They'd take shelter in Ashton's home for a while. South Carolina would have probably have heard of the murders by the time they got there, but he wouldn't turn out his sister, or Rusty. He'd frown, and quietly let them in.
Violence answered violence. And as long as justice was not served in this country, Rusty and Kitty, along with all the other states, would have blood on their names.
*
#5, Chris and Evelyn
Not much to work with from a calming, instrumental piece, so I used the title more as the prompt than anything else.
Quick Author's notes: Nothing too serious in this one, but there are some musings on death, so be warned.
*
They're sitting on the porch of Christopher's home in Wallowa county as the last light of the summer day fades into the night. The insects are singing, and the wind is whispering all around them. Both have Pendleton blankets across their laps, just existing in a peaceful silence.
And then, Chris speaks.
"How do you think it'll be when we die a permanent death? Do you think it'll be violent? Or will we just go to sleep? And- will we leave behind any signs we lived at all?"
Evelyn blinks, startled out of her silent reverie. "Well. How long have you been sitting on that one?"
"A bit." Chris admits, looking out at his horses. "I guess it's mostly in the abstract, but the succession movements always bring it to mind."
Ah, this was about Greater Idaho. Fifty years ago, it was about the State of Jefferson. Ten years ago, it was about Cascadia. Chris and Beverly constantly remembering that if they became too fractured, one or both of them might fall.
"Maybe it'll be violent. But I think we'll just- just disappear." She looked towards the softly colored sky, still clothed in dusk rather than night. "People will know we existed. We'll leave behind some sort of legacy."
Chris looked doubtful on that. She knew why. He'd watched languages and people die, while the conquerors tried to pretend they'd never existed at all. She took his hand.
"If something happened to you, and I was still around, I'd make sure you were remembered. Adam would. Clark would. We all would. I promise you won't just disappear.
He nodded, giving her a grateful look without looking directly at her. As their hands fell apart from each other, she heard him whisper.
"I'd do the same if anything happened to you."

Grounds: Part 1
According to Katy Steinmetz’s “Why Don’t U.S. Laws Explicitly Ban Discrimination Against LGBT People,” Acts like The Equality Act seek to criminalize the discrimination against people due to their sexual orientation.
Bills like The Equality Act have been put into the federal spotlight since in the 1970s, but they have been proven quite difficult to pass. Unfortunately, these newer laws and cases do not stop people from continuing to discriminate against those in the LGBTQ+ community. According to the “Effect of LGBT Anti-Discrimination Laws on School Climate and Outcomes for Lesbian, Gay, and Bisexual High School Students” by Xavier Fields and Christina Min Wotipka, one case (Masterpiece Cakeshop v. Colorado) involved a baker from Colorado who refused to provide his services to an LGBTQ+ couple who wanted a cake for their wedding. His case was that providing his services to the couple would go against his religious beliefs. Ultimately, The Trump Administration sided with the baker.
The Trump Administration is an example of a government power who has attempted and succeeded to weaken the rights of the LGBTQ+ community. According to “Queer and Present Danger: Understanding The Disparate Impacts of Disasters on LGBTQ+ Communities'', by Leo Goldsmith, Vanessa Raditz, and Michael Mendez, the administration had helpful information about the LGBTQ+ community be removed from the anti-discrimination resources created by our country’s Department of Housing and Urban Development; a department that seeks to provide housing assistance and other forms of support to our struggling population.

Happy birth Colorado, can we get some headcanons?
yes! sorry, i meant to do this yesterday but move in is just. incredibly chaotic.
Julian and Marisol have like no mental illnesses (depression/anxiety/etc) and Nate and Eli hate them just a little bit for it.
Jules does have his moments of sensory overload just because he is a synesthete though
well-meaningly and accidentally nosy. learns really fast what the subtle color variations of voices mean and will ask what’s got you down
is a web designer
there is a group chat for the states in service jobs where they can complain about terrible clients and julian’s most common story is “they were surprised they had to pay me for this”
did college online and everyone is pretty sure he didn’t take all the classes and partially hacked his way into a degree but no one wants to ask
technically James is involved with both Helena and Julian, but Jules and Helena aren’t involved with each other (I believe they would be metamours to each other then?)
anyway, James is lowkey alarmed when Helena and Julian actually talk because they get along like a house on fire and it is absolutely terrifying. they bring out the malicious prankster in each other. they spelled out the word homophobe in some man’s yard with salt so that the grass would die in the shape of the letters.
golden retriever in human form
has been described as ‘disgustingly athletic’

(From left to right: Iowa, Colorado, Texas, and @risha-bug ‘s Iowa)
So today’s the international day against homophobia, transphobia, and biphobia! I saw on twitter that people were using the hashtag #issaproudLGBTQ and I just felt so inspired by all the lgbtq folks to draw my own characters who are lgbtq+. I unfortunately don’t have a trans character so that’s why I had to borrow Risha’s Iowa!
I was personally compelled to draw this out of spite. You know, Oaxaca legalized gay marriage and recognize transgender people to some extent. And while I know some people in Mexico that there are proud, some people remain ignorant and turns it into hate. Since I’m not going to Oaxaca for the summer, might as well come out. Yeah I’m bi asf, y’all know that, but I know my family won’t accept me. While I’m on the fence on what my parents think, I know the rest of my family aren’t as open-minded or accepting as my parents. Famously, my mom’s brother would beat up anyone who was suspected to be gay. He and his buddies beat this gay person up for accidentally placing a hand on one of their thighs. I’ll refrain from the details, but it makes me sick and ashamed that I’m related to such a hateful and misguided person. So yeah. It’s hard sometimes to accept and love yourself, especially if you have family members who treat you differently. But let me tell you something: they aren’t worth keeping in your life. If Mexican culture taught me anything, family are supposed to love you, accept you, and support you. I feel like this is more ingrain in Latino culture than American culture because in the US, there’s still this strong sense of individualism. I’m not sure how to explain it. In my pueblo especially, it’s difficult if you’re cut from your family. You basically can’t go anywhere in life. The phrase “family is family no matter how much they hurt you” can be incredibly harmful and is toxic. I’m sure that my cousins like to hear that after finding out that their dad cheated on their mom and has another family. Are they supposed to forgive him? No. He betrayed their trust.
So this is to my toxic family members:
Hola! Soy bisexual y saben que? Estoy feliz. Si no me aceptan, despues adios! Tengo gente que me quieren y me aceptan. Solo necesito eso en la vida. Nada de “no es natural” o “solo necesitas Dios”. Dios no comete errores. Soy yo.
#aph iowa#aph colorado#aph texas#risha-bug#WE'RE HERE#WE'RE QUEER#NOW GET OUT OF HERE#@ homophobes transphobes and biphobes :)#terrible spanish but im happy to get that off my system#bombon's ocs#bombon's art#other people's ocs#i didn't have enough time to draw ace etc ;;#im so sorry

AR: ... you mean, like, how to make him like you again?
TX: ...
TX: pfft I dont care if he likes me or anything! Ha! I'm so out of his league and like I've already got a million friends.
AR: ...
TX: And, like, so what if hes got this stupid sense of humor and hes really nice and he sometimes let's me stay with him and helps me when my governor's a dumbass
AR: ...
TX: he can also make some killer chilaquiles and his homemade ice cream is actually pretty good despite him not liking sweets
AR: ....
TX: okay fine yes I want him to like me again. Shut up.
AR: you know what you should do then? It's actually so incredibly easy.
TX: Cool cool cool cool cool what? I can do anything. Fight someone? Got it. I've got friends all over so if he needs someone KO'ed I can do that.
AR: Its actually a little easier than that.
TX: What is it?
AR: apologize. Nicely.
TX: ... pfft okay, yeah sure. Apologize. You're joking, right?

AR: also let's get back to the point: first of all - I am hilarious! My study group thinks so
NM: dont say that like its cool
AR: NM hush. Second off literally all you have to do is look Al in the eye and say, "Alfred, I'm sorry for whatever is it was that I did." Simple.

NM: Hey, CO, how you doin?
TX: Sup, CO
AR: Can we please get back to the point? TX, you need to apologize and joining the circus is not the answer. NM: I'm funny, thank you very much, even if my sense of humor isnt as grisly as yours. And CO: .... CO, why are you even here? Quarantine, remember?
CO:
CO: I miss my friends.
AR: ....
AR: we're all going to die.
......
VA: Hey, Wash, quick question.

VA: why is TX acting so weird?
Alfred: its TX
VA: Fair point
Alfred: his govenor thinks church and sex shops are essential, while certain healthcare facilities arent.
VA: What did TX do though?
Alfred: he ate my big cookie.
VA: ....
Alfred: normally I dont like sweets or cookies, but this one was made by god herself and was perfect.

Weird things the states have done
-Michigan once kicked a chair out from underneath Ohio and Ohio didn’t fall down. He also didn’t stand up, he literally just stayed sitting on nothing.
-Wisconsin, Indiana, and Michigan went to an indoor water park and floated around the lazy river while singing I Want it That Way. Illinois got a video.
-Minnesota and the Dakotas decided to go mattress sledding and North Dakota smacked his head against a table and got a concussion.
-Kansas walked directly into a tornado to prove that it was possible. It didn’t end well.
-Rhode Island once pulled a small tree out of the ground and used it to hit Massachusetts in the knee because Mass called him a sewer for the billionth time.
-Nebraska drove a tractor over a homemade ramp and it flipped over with him on it.
-Idaho slowly ate a raw potato in front of the United Nations while making direct eye contact with Russia. To this day no one knows why.
-West Virginia bit down on his wallet, looked directly at a poor CIA agent, and said “whom the frickity frack took my breakfast sandwich?” It turns out the sandwich was in his back pocket.
-Washington spilled coffee on their jeans and immediately declared God to be both a bitch and dead.
-Iowa bought a bunch of those corn on the cob holders and stuck them all over Illinois’ car because he was “being a little bitch”
-New York walked to New Jersey’s apartment (which was pretty far away at the time) at two in the morning just to ask if water is wet. He then made himself a cup of coffee and left.
-Kentucky rode a horse into a grocery store, looked around, and when told he had to leave yelled “THAT ISN’T VERY CASH MONEY OF YOU, CIVILIAN”
-Colorado wore a really large trench coat to a meeting one day and he wouldn’t tell anyone what was in it until after the meeting, where he pulled New Mexico aside and showed him that the inside pockets were filled with memes.
-There’s a video of New Hampshire screaming at Massachusetts while Massachusetts attempts to inject caffeine directly into his veins.
-New Hampshire also wore a shirt that said Big Dad Energy in big bold letters and when asked how many kids he had by a stranger he started laughing hysterically.
-Michigan has a shirt that says I’m Concerned About the Blueberries that he only seems to wear when he gets exactly two hours of sleep. Louisiana once saw him wearing the shirt and forced him to stop and take a nap.
-Florida grabbed a handful of leaves off the nearest tree and started eating them while Virginia explained that attacking European tourists is bad.
-Georgia pushed Alabama into a puddle and he just laid there for about five minutes before rolling over and calling Georgia a bitch.
-You know the vine where the guy at the mini golf course jumps into the water? Hawaii does that every time. No one goes mini golfing with her anymore.
-Alaska took a bite of a dog treat instead of a protein bar, stared at it in confusion, shrugged, and continued eating.
-Another video:
Tennessee: *sobbing hysterically*
Virginia: WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU????
Tennessee: I HAVEN’T SLEPT IN A WEEK AND SOMEONE DREW A FACE ON MY BANJO WHILE I WAS TRYING TO NAP AND I KNEW THIS WOULD HAPPEN ‘CAUSE Y’ALL DON’T LIKE THE FACT THAT I WAS BETTER AT THE CIVIL WAR THAN ANYONE ELSE!
Virginia: You need to calm down-
Tennessee: YoU NeED tO CaLm DowN!
-Texas and Cherokee were arguing over how Oklahoma should live his life while Oklahoma filled a duffel bag with hors d’oeuvres at the fancy party Maryland threw.
-Arizona was carrying around a fancy velvet purse for a day and when California asked what it was for she pulled out seven hard boiled eggs. The only question California asked was “can I have one?” Arizona said no, packed the eggs up again, and left.
-One day Montana and Colorado switched wardrobes and no one noticed since they both wear flannels from the women’s section.
-Wyoming pulled out a water bottle at a meeting and chugged it in under a minute. Turns out it was vodka and she fell down the stairs trying to leave.
-Vermont drank a bottle of maple syrup while Maine recorded. They later sent it to Quebec who watched the entire thing twice before responding with “why are you so dumb?”
-Connecticut got locked out of his house and broke his leg trying to climb to the second floor window.
-Literally everything New Mexico does is weird, like when he bought a set of sporks and threw his spoons and forks out.

Sorry, I was looking at all your content and two of the posts could make a cool headcannon. You once said Jules was bad at telling people that he was sick . In another, you said he got a Fitbit. One way to tell he’s sick is to look at the fitbit and if it’s less than his normal amount then you know something is up
yes
