“I never minded the cold, braginsky. it snows in arizona too, y’know.”

I support the

of Alfred F Jones

the way i see it, alfred is both the black sheep of his family and the crown prince in arthur's eyes. the disgraceful wretched lad and the golden boy. the son who scorned lord father's ""generosity"" and who remade himself the most in his image (empire, naval power and hegemon, in both the atlantic and the pacific). arthur has no problem seeing it that way. his greatest disappointment and his greatest hope. the one who will help bring down the curtain on the formal british empire, but the one who will also help british imperial power and relevance endure in the postwar afterlife. alfred once said there was noone he hated more than his father, alfred vows he will be nothing like the corrupt old world that arthur springs from, that he is a genuine idealist who sees a better world to be made ahead but—what is pax americana, but the progeny of the british empire? even when clad in noble-sounding goals and american charisma, what is that but the same ruthless ambition that arthur sees, in the sea-blue of alfred's eyes? arthur knows it, everyone else knows it. alfred has his father's hands. he is his father's son.

Why would Alfred speak Diné? Did he learn it from the Navajo Code Talkers from World War II? I hope I’m not sounding rude, I would just like to understand where this headcanon comes from.

it's not rude at all, I actually do want to explain it! especially because the Navajo/Diné Nation was very much on "Mexican land" before "becoming American land".

my hc is that Alfred began learning and speaking Diné Bizaad during the California gold rush, its statehood, and the manifest destiny movement (all events occurring in 1845-55) because his Anglo overseers and settlers wanted him to become familiarized with the American West (I hc he was VEHEMENTLY against it and sabotaged it in every way he could).

he gradually got closer to Diné people altruistically and interacted with their traditions and culture (this is absolutely where he got the custom to smudge-- yall see how much he hates ghosts!!). by the time California, Nevada, Arizona, etc. became states, he was wholly engrained into the Diné community.

his involvement with the Diné Nation did not end there; there was the "finding" of the Grand Canyon by Anglo settlers, the building of the Hoover Dam, and INDUBIOUSLY the diné code talkers. in modern times, he involves himself with the diné community for conservation efforts but most importantly, to celebrate his people (hc that he ever only told the code talkers and n8v elders of his immortality/who he is).

roma, roma de mi vida, roma, roma de mi amoooor

Your art is awesome 💖💖 why do you like rusame?

thank you so much omgomg! 🥺 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
