i am of the intense opinion that none of the nations are good people. i mean this in the most sincere way; they're manipulative, they're assholes, they're cold, cruel and heartless and every label in between. they're not outright, evil villain llike bad people but in a more subtle way, the same way they could look at cruelty and injustice and look the other way. they are very much enablers in a sense. what i do think is that they weren't this way to begin with. perhaps if the world had been kinder to them then maybe they would have been kinder to the world. honestly, i dont even think they are trying to be bad people. they're just fucking tired.
Your art is awesome ๐๐ why do you like rusame?
thank you so much omgomg! ๐ฅบ as for that question-- to keep it short and sweet cause my post would be 100K words long w/ mla citation, the simplified reasons are:
their shared diplomatic history before the 1900s
their juxtapositions that complement each other so nicely
equal-footing being they're prominent nations
cojen pero bien duro y apasionado JAJAJAJA
I genuinely feel like Iโm going insane sometimes
Probably an unpopular opinion: What's fascinating about RusAme is not their ability to kill each other but the ability to NOT do so. The entire Cold War is about refraining from making a move and risking the annihilation of the whole world while harboring resentment. They may want to tear each other down, but somehow they find the strength to repress it (creating lots of sexual tension, but that's beside the point). The real point is that it reveals something they deeply share โ a value for this world, and a willingness to protect it, even at the cost of putting up with each other.

this is my work for the lovely and amazing @hwsfemmephenomenon zine! while she has never made an appearance in the anime, Kenya has always been my fave heta-girl simply off her design!
I wanted to do a piece where she is interacting with her citizens, so here she is in Maasai traditional garb in Maasai Mara! they are singing a maa hymn to celebrate a young woman's coming of age. the title translates to 'endless generation', represented by the women as they stand; youngest singer to oldest singer (being Miss Kenyata herself)!
thank you once again for an incredible community experience! ๐ฐ๐ช
crawls in on my hands and knees indchu is so everything to me. itโs so tragic romance, it has so many themes that touch on colonialism, agency, fate, power etc etc. Theyโre friends to enemies to friends to enemies and back again and one of the things that drives me really insane was how England used India to grow opium to poison China and deployed Indian soldiers to fight for the British against the Chinese in the Opium wars, but simultaneously, that long history of anti colonialism and pan asian collaboration between Indian and Chinese scholars during the 20th century before independence finally, finally came and the promise of a new world order and the Non aligned movement they could enjoy *together*, before 1962 happened and that hope of what they had before, before the europeans and the modern era, crumbled to dust. iโm so normal about then
homie, you managed to fill my heart with joy, sadness, dread, joy again, and agony and I thank you for it. their history is so unmatched by anything I've ever heard of.
oh to picture their closeness before colonialism, when it was just them two.
OH, to think of how they have lived so near one another longer than any other personification could, and to have it all change in such a short amount of time, that beautiful romance now just a husk of what it once was... and everyone walks by them not having a clue... it's only a pain and sadness only they understand, only they experience... I think I need a break
Thank you for enabling me also my nyo America is called Jackie so Iโm calling her that here sorry ย
Ok so they're undergraduates in college, got randomly assigned roommates, and both earning a degree in aerospace engineering. They did not like each other at all at first, very competitive and both top of their class, but because of the horrific gender ratio they'd stick together anyway (it was also hard not to because they were roommates) and have each other's backs which established a trust despite hating each other on the surface.
And I imagine they didnโt really have coming of age experiences because both spent all their time studying to get into their university in the first place; they havenโt really explored things like sexuality and romance and whatnot. They also are both fucked up in the head, especially Anya, and suck at genuine human connection yeah
Because they have this stupid rivalry they become really enamored with the thought of having an equal and a perfect match and really being understood as a person do eventually they kind of become obsessed with each other. And they donโt want to admit to even being proper friends because neither of them โdo friendsโ (for Jackie itโs a โkeeping everyone as an acquaintance so no one can see me as anything less than perfectโ thing and for Anya itโs โhuman connection is a waste of time and I fuck up every single relationshipโ thing) but if either of them even seemed properly friendly with someone else the other would get so jealous theyโd feel actually sick.ย
Jackieโs really taken with the thought of Anya being the only one that sees the โreal herโ and Anya is obsessed with the idea that Jackie will stay with her and see her as the most important priority. and they see each other more than anyone else and study together and witness the other when they're not put together in a way that feels more vulnerable and intimate than anything they've ever experienced. and both of them are way too possessive and want it to be them against the world but they also sometimes want to destroy the other for knowing them like that
So yeah theyโre just in this fucked up codependent borderline situationship and they keep having the homoerotic encounters that most people deal with in middle school but theyโve never felt like this before and itโs intoxicating
Anyway this drawing was supposed to reflect having life changing emotionally destructive lesbian sex
I was starting to get self conscious about being the only one with a huge ass device in the casino Iโm at- but lo and behold, a person just came in with a laptop
