I wanted to join the fun
the current situation
(i'm team finland btw but i actually enjoy all the nordic entries)
I asked my followers on Instagram to give me countries to doodle. These are all requests, there are 30 more left tho🙏
idk what their ship name is but i want it to be a thing
Matthew: I think JFK did all that stuff for attention and also so he could have an airport named after him
Alfred: Nah man you got it wrong, he was named after the airport
fic premise meme time! alfred, shortly after the revolution, visiting francis at versailles as a means to thank his monarchs (marie antoinette and louis xvi 👀), but alfred is *incredibly* thrown off by the lavish lifestyle of versailles and francis doesn’t exactly seem like himself (perhaps he feels ashamed of the sheer amount of over-indulgence around him? hmmmm) (anyway, this is just an excuse for someone to write versailles!francis hehe)
oooh Versailles francis would be super interesting to write! he would definitely be put off by it. I also headcanon that nations have a sixth-sense kind of gut feeling and he just knows that this is his ticket to disaster. he doesn’t know why but he just knows. also if you don’t mind me adding - I like to think that despite his discomfort he enjoys it to an extent because, well, it feels like he’s caught up to someone. He remembers the lavish palaces of the Roman empire whose boot he lived under and seeing himself reach this level of opulence feels like he’s finally proved himself as, if not superior, then at least equal to old man Romulus
(btw poor Al, his puritan heart won’t be able to take that trip)
I also can’t help but mention what an amazing job @rebelsandtherest did with a similar premise of America visiting France after the revolution in her fic Amity which I highly recommend
I keep my embarrassing little thoughts in the tags where they belong
