Early Appalachian frontiersman Alfred in buckskin circa 1790- 1810s. I’m trying to figure out how to paint like NC Wyeth digitally (so lol the background is Wyeth’s).
Gonna ramble a bit about my nor’easter au and Alfred below the cut
Following the American Revolution, Alfred is immediately sent out to squash any rebellions (like whiskey rebellion) and to partake in wars against Indigenous nations like the Cherokee. I’ll save a discussion about the Cherokee wars for another time because that’ll take a long time to explain + I’m still working on my Cherokee oc and I need to understand Cherokee history and perspective more before I go forward with talking about this topic.
Now the many of the east coast states are older than Alfred, and they mostly supported him during the revolution because they thought he’d be easy to control given at the time of the revolution he wasn’t tied down as any colony or city. However, he was a New Englander and very obviously so
He was once Plymouth colony and he grew up alongside his cousin Henry/Massachusetts, but by the time the revolution occurred, his status was unclear and he was simply living with his cousin (who’s his earliest and most fierce supporter) .
These states operated like countries and part of why the had the revolution was to continue to self-govern and maintain their regional cultures. It’s also part of why the federal government initially was rather weak. Given Alfred’s closeness to his cousin, and his very staunch New England identity, I think the states would be hesitant over a strong New England national control. And so I think they especially Jennie/NY & Rich/Virginia encouraged Alfred to leave his cousin for a while, and partake in military campaigns (+ he was good at battle).
Also Alfred was like 14, and I don’t think he’s ever been the type to sit down and do paperwork. Honestly he was always a bad student, who was far more interested in the outdoors, horses, sailing and hunting. While he won the war, and he was fine with being head of state, he still didn’t 1) have confidence in himself to make non-military related decisions 2) he just wasn’t mentally ready to take on the responsibilities and was fine deferring it to his states like Jennie, Rich, or Henry to figure out matters that weren’t military related. He was irresponsible and it would come back to bite him in the ass during the Civil War.
Alfred on a personal level it was probably good for him to get away from his overly critical cousin who can be overbearing, but also so he would get more experience to deeply get to know his states.
Also Alfred, growing up in New England, he was a little ball of rage as a kid and he has a difficult time managing his emotions. He wasn’t exactly the personable seemingly fun loving Alfred of the present. Not that he couldn’t crack a joke, but ok I’m not from New England, but in the northeast I find we’re rather cynical, un-filtered and sarcastic and tbh kind of asssholes in the way we have fun and in our humor. That’s how he was, which is like fine unless you’re trying to appeal to the rest of the nation lol which he would have to
I think his time spent in Appalachia and the south did help him learn more about his other states especially Maisie/ North Carolina. But also helped him learn more how to let go some of this intense New England rage, and how to better control his emotions. But also let loose in a way that isn’t so dark and cynical. Also I think this helped him slowly learn how to speak with less of a New England specific accent
He was also able to observe states like Rich and Carl/ South Carolina and gain an understanding of how being able to control your emotions, can help control your image and how others perceive you. So these are the origins of how he slowly began to shape and become at least in public this overly friendly happy go lucky Alfred.
I’ll save a discussion about his interactions with the Appalachian states more explicitly another time I’m just tired😴 fr rn

I personally think that the only way I can make hetalia be relatively unproblematic, is to disconnect the characters from the real-life countries they are meant to represent.
That’s why everything I post here, will be operating as an AU which is separate from the canon franchise.
My focus will be on authentic and multi-dimensional characterizations, considerate of real-life, contemporary and historical conditions (but mainly focused on personalities, not so much historical events!)
In this AU, the characters are immortal humans who come from all around the world, but do not represent their respective nation. They are, naturally, shaped by the countries and cultures they come from, and I will try my best to be considerate of how to represent different cultures in a respectful way. I absolutely do appreciate tips and feedback.
I’m looking forward to sharing more of my ideas with you!
Edit:
This doesn’t mean that I’m opposed to nationverse! It’s just clarify that my drawings, or my AU I suppose, is a human AU :)

"He remembered my fav fish"
Tumblr media
Just a silly au of Sand tiger shark mer!Rome (who acts like a dolphin) and Cryptic enthusiast mermaid researcher! Yao
Please click on the image for better quality!
[Image id: This is a picture depicting a mermaid version of ancient Rome from Hetalia, he is represented as a sand tiger shark, his tail has two dorsal fins and has a warm Grey coloriration with a more white one on the bottom part of the tail
He has sharp shark like teeth and is shown having a pining expression
On the top of the image he is fantasizing of Yao, who has a high bun and a cat shirt, bringing him a fish as a gift, Yao is on the right side while another image of him, flustered by the gift can be seen on the left. End id]

In the nations are known / found out AU;
Imagine humans freaking out about nations' reaction time? I imagine nations might have a slightly advanced reaction time compared to the average human (~250 milliseconds / 0.25 seconds) even without training
I was thinking about when Denmark caught that coathanger in the halloween episode. With training, humans can get down to a reaction time of 200-190 milliseconds (0.20 - 0.19 seconds)
Anything ~100 milliseconds (0.10 seconds) or less, is considered instantaneous.
It's very likely that trained nations, nations that have been surviving and fighting for hundreds or even thousands of years, could reach reaction times less than 100ms, and that would be an interesting discovery in this au

Proud of how this came out. Anyways some revolutionary war Alfred. I’ll share some thoughts I have about him in regards to my au lore beneath the cut
He’s a stubborn angry irresponsible kid from New England when the war begins, and tbh he’s like this until the American Civil War. He accepted a lot of responsibility at a young age, was rather insecure, too stubborn to really admit he needs help, and deferred a lot to his states - eventually his irresponsibility catches up with him. And he’s also later forced to change his disposition to be more friendly and diplomatic.
He barely gains the support of his own states. He was initially Plymouth colony, existed as basically nothing except as a ward of his cousin Henry/Massachusetts. The states just tbh saw him as the most neutral option amongst themselves given he has no real role & all the other states have great qualms with each other. But they do admire his commitment, and his battle expertise, and also pure strength. They do however see him as an irresponsible kid so they think he’ll be easy to control (they’re not much that older than him)
His cousin Henry is quite supportive of him and sees his potential so he’s really the one pushing Alfred forth. Alfred just agrees to appease his cousin, whom has taken good care of him up until this point. He’s a kid who accepts way too much responsibility and is way in over his head.
Alfred isn’t a stranger to war or violence prior to the Revolution. However during the revolution, I think under the guidance of General Washington he refines his battle skills and learns to better channel his anger into battle rather than being sporadic. He comes to view General Washington as a father-like figure.
