there’s something intrinsic i love about comparing usuk to romanticized symbolism throughout the history of the western world.

i love comparing arthur and alfred to adam and eve. adam the original man, and eve, his ‘helper’ who propels him even further through impulsive action - no matter the good or bad outcome, both down that spiral they shall go.

i love the symbolism behind calling england the ancient greek wife of america’s ancient rome. eg in the statement by [i think] Harold Macmillan that the British found “the Americans much as the Greeks found the Romans”. this repetition of history that can be seen again and again in the west… i love it!! one party becoming powerful in the beginning, only to be overtaken by a younger nation who eventually grows to become so obsessed with them [as seen how romantically infatuated the Romans were with Greek art, culture, land and women].

or the old and the new; i love that “in God’s good time, the New World, with all its power and might, [might step] forth to the rescue and the liberation of the old” is embedded into the nature of the special relationship’s foundation [no matter if you agree with the legitimacy of such concept or not]. the idea that old ideas and new ones can help each other and protect each other. they don’t have to be at odds. they can save each other…

or also how it was an English engineer who redesigned the inventive nature of fuel cells, a step of innovation and invention necessary to convert fuel into energy and successfully propel the Apollo missions forward and have American men stepping foot on the moon. English invention literally helped propel America to the moon!!! England helped push America’s ambitions forward, and British encouragement helped bring his spacetime dreams to life in abundant glory!!

yo, i just really really love symbolic usuk. damn.

it’s such a powerful ship.

Favorite USUK moments

Some Wales head-cannons:

Wales ADORES hand-me-downs. Sure he’s not the youngest, but he’s the smallest, and he loves to dig through his brothers old things and see what they don’t want so he can put together wacky little outfits for himself. He’s also super resourceful and can basically do all sorts of sowing, knitting, crafting. He takes things apart, reinvents them, sometimes he makes little bits and pieces for his brothers, and his brothers wear them - not only because it’s a little gift from their brother, but because they’re also genuinely pretty, smart or practical. Each of the brothers have a favourite piece or two that Wales has made for them. The reworked blazer for Scotland with the patches on the elbows and a little thistle sown into the breast pocket that match the reading glasses made to match, England’s “ancient sweater vest and jumper” as France calls it, that’s actually the result of 7 different vests and jumpers dismantled and re-invented. Northern Ireland has a little tie collection made by Wales that he treats like pure gold. Wales made Ireland a little pair of shoes literally over 200 years ago and although they don’t get much time to nip across the water to see each other anymore, when the shoes start to go through wear and tear, Ireland would rather offer to pay Wales to fix them than through them out. He could never. The brothers aren’t great with voicing their gratefulness or voicing that they’re sentimental, but their carefulness and attachment to Wales little gifts speak a thousand words.

England and Wales stuck together a lot for a time while growing up and Wales would use magic to help with England’s fears, like showing England a spell to create light when he was scared of the dark, and spells to help distinguish what berries and mushrooms were safe to eat. This was the start of England’s interest in magic. Back then, Wales would also use magic to animate little drawings and paintings left behind by humans to entertain England and he continues to do it to this day. He brings to life paintings in the house, in museums, street art, pictures in books and newspapers, he can even animate old photographs of people, human and personifications alike. It still makes England smile.

Twenty bucks says this wasn’t the Arthur you were expecting to be in the brit lit room during lunch.

Hes totally reading Tristan and Isolde.
