Some Concept Art For Ukraine Where I Tried To Apply Some Of My Headcanons To Have Fun With Her Appearance

belarus in your own style?? ⬜🟥⬜👀

There you go anon, and sorry - it was supposed to be a NORMAL drawing but I got carried away a bit with the idea. I‘ll draw her normally at some point🙏🏼

”What‘s the matter, Belarus? You look a bit …broken“

This was the inspo btw (+ something else, her clothes is inspired by a particular portrait of a particular Belaruthian, if you reckognised which one, consider me impressed and well done on your Belaruthian history)

tomorows headlines have to be better

I might even pin this just because. Yes.

Long post about so-called Ukrainian “xenophobia” towards russians. If you’re not from East Europe\Ukraine - PLEASE, READ IT.

Me and my friends are really tired from seeing shit like this, so here’s simplest explanation to (almost) every popular agrument and answer to it.

Starting with definition. Xenophobia = hate for something foreign just because it is foreign. We DO NOT hate russians just because they're russians.

We hate russians for their warcrimes: both of the past and present.

(Litteraly the day I wrote this thread on Twitter it was another missile attack in the morning)

To put it plane and simple: russians and everything russia related aren't bad for just being russian: russians and everything russia related are bad because they destroying our lifes, cities, kill, rape, stole, occupy, torture and etc.

"But not every russian is related to military! Most of them against war!"

Oh? Really?

But even without numbers: you need to understand that more often so-called anti war russians are just ignorant to what their country doing. Be against war isn't about just words and position - it's about proving your position action. And by taking none since 2014, russians made it clear that they're okay with war.

"Anti war" russians most likely still paying taxes, and those money lately goes to army. "Anti war" russians, again, didn't do anything to stop war. Hell, most of liberal russians are direct imperialists.

So, if you see russian online and even if they're proclame themselves to be antiwar, in 99% cases they aren't.

Also, I simplifying most of things to better understanding, but you also need to know that without context of East Europe\russia-Ukraine conflict history a lot of imperialistic russian shit can pass though your ears. Just be aware of it.

"But how can they do anything against in such authoritarian country!"

Let's head back to simple math. According to russian sources, there was almost 15k detained (note: detained =\= convicted) for anti-war actions.

It all may sound scary... Until you look at looses of ru army.

So it is MUCH more safer in russia to be anti-war that is to be pro-war. Does it bother russians? Not at all.

and don't get me started on how lame it is for country with 144 million population to be afraid of abvously much lesser police force)

***

So, in summary:

Ukranians don't hate russians for being russians. Ukranians hate russians for being bloodthursty, ignorant mass who actively support war and\or don't do a shit to stop it.

Most russians, even "good" ones - likely a war supporter. Yes, they may not a straight forward z-one, but almost 100% an ignorant person who supports war by their money and absence of action against it.

We, Ukranians, have neither the strength nor the desire to look for a needle in our son's haystack.

Keep it in mind and please, do not get into conflicts, the nature and context of which you do not understand. Thanks for reading.

P.S Also there's a really good thread on Twitter that looks over this as a question of basic empathy, so please read it as well.

P.S.S And feel free to ask questions.

Hetalia Ukraine OCs

Yes I am aware there’s a cannon Ukraine design and while I like how she looks, I just don’t appreciate how she was depicted in the anime

some concept art for Ukraine where I tried to apply some of my headcanons to have fun with her appearance (WIP)

um. hear me out-

I was reading some things, and then this guy randomly spawned in my head. Throwing him at you and running away😼

My guy used to personify the Margraviate of Brandenburg, then post-1815-ish, the province of Brandenburg, and these days a Bundesland in Germany by the same name. His relationship with Gilbert is – um – complicated. Inherriting an unruly polish fief dutchy was one thing, but actually dealing with him turned out to be a whole other. But Prussia learnt to use the situation to his advantage. After some time. Eventually.

The name’s Johann Friedrich (von Beilschmidt); I doubt it would make sense to make him and Gilbert directly related, but they‘ve been using the same family name ever since the personal union; at least on paper.

— That quote that kind of sums up his personality was taken from “The Iron Kingdom” by Christopher Clark, where it was also quoted by the author; I haven’t read the original work by Valentin, unfortunately

god forbid men have political alliances with complicated long-term implications.
