I was like “hetalia fans?? They’re active and they exist??? And this whole time they’ve all been hiding away on tumblr ??” I was shook :O but pleasantly surprised! It’s good to be here! :D

Additional Links That May Be Useful Reading + Interesting Quotes For History Is On Our Side
Chapter Ten
The Purchase of Alaska
"Stoeckl asked the President whether the [American] Mormons were going [to Russian Alaska] as conquerors or colonists. To this the President laughingly replied that it mattered little to him which, provided that he got rid of them ... [Stoeckl remarked to his government] ... that if the Mormons should come, Russia would be obligated to either fight them or give up territory to them" (Golder 414).
"By the handing of Alaska to the United States England would be greatly discomfited. The conquest of California by the Yankees was the first effective blow to Great Britain's ambitions in the Pacific, and the acquisition of Alaska would put an end to them altogether. Sandwiched in between Oregon and Alaska, British Colombia could have no great future" (Golder 415).
"Not only is the [Russian American Company] not advancing the interests of Russia, but it is actually alienating the good-will of a friendly people. It is easy enough, the writer goes on to say, for Europeans to sneer at the Monroe Doctrine and "Manifest Destiny," but if they were better acquainted with the Americans they would know that these ideas are in their very blood and in the air they breathe. There are twenty millions of Americans, every one of them a free man and filled with the idea that America is for Americans. They have taken California, Oregon, and sooner or later they will get Alaska. It is inevitable. It cannot be prevented; and it would be better to yield with good grace and cede the territory to them. Let them have the Alaskan mainland, the Aleutians, the islands in the Bering Sea—geographically all these are American—but let us retain the Commander Islands so as not to have the Yankees too near us. Russia, too, has a manifest destiny on the Amur, and farther south, even in Korea. Expansion in that direction will not weaken us in a military way" (Golder 416).

My Fics!!
History is On Our Side (Russia x America, enemies to lovers [???], slowburn)
In the midst of the Cold War, America's soulmate leaves their marks on his neck.

Veins Full of Poetry (historical, no pairings)
“They call you fey, they call you magic, they call you a witch, and they comfort themselves by thinking they have defined you without realizing that they’ve fallen into your trap—to deceive them into believing they have found some measure of you when all the while what you truly are is much, much worse. I won’t let you lead them to their deaths. I swear to the Lord, Alfred, that I will kill you before you do!”
Tracing America’s interactions with nations and humans throughout time, from colony to country.
In Progress.
Godzilla (Japan & America, platonic enemies-to-begrudgingly tolerant of one another, Hetalia x Godzilla Minus One)
