I just went through your entire blog and I really regret not reading it sooner! I used to think why canon Hetalia chose Venice instead of the Kingdom of Sardinia to represent Italy. Your askblog is THE story I was looking for that bridges the gap. I love your blog so much. (P.S is this blog abandoned or just on a hiatus? not trying to rush you just want to ask)

Thank you so much! I'm glad it's got what you were searching for. Honestly I haven't updated in a long while because I am very busy, but I am still planning on continuing when I find the creative spark to do so!

Read your comic yesterday (well, in the past two or three days to be precise), after following you for a couple of years but never reading it because the idea of reading comics on tumbrl is daunting (my computer tends to crash if I leave tumbrl open for too long)

It's so good! Seeing your art stile, which I really, really like, it's so expressive, change and grow was a treat, and the story is terribly interesting of course. Your interpretation of Feliciano and Romano is amazing and I love it, one of my favourite takes on these two characters. One can't help but care for Benigno and I can't wait to see more of Chiara (I'm a bit biased in that regard, just like I am with Romano). And now there's Nicky's Prussia, which I love

So yeah I guess I just meant to say that your comic is beautiful. For the story, for the characters and obviously for your splendid style. And for the correct Italian lmao

Thank you so much! I'm really amazed to see people are reading all this despite tumblr making it unnecessarily difficult even for myself (navigating years of content is quite challenging). Love and cheers and thanks for sticking around!

Hey everyone who's up for a charity event where all money goes to LGBT* refugee help funds in Ukraine? Due to the borders being closed based one's gender assigned at birth a lot of trans and intersex people are stuck inside the country and are in need of help. Also, a lot of cis queer men are afraid of becoming prisoners under Russian occupation. There are human rights group who are doing their best to evacuate LGBT* people in Ukraine right now, and we can support them.

It will work like last time - you can donate and I'll draw a commission for you! It's super easy and you can just send me a private message with a screenshot of your receipt and a description of what you would like me to draw. It can be an illustration, a tattoo design or art of your favorite character. You can donate whatever you feel financially comfortable with, every receipt gets a commission!

This is the link to the official donation page

Examples of my art style for if this gets reblogged to people who don't follow me:

Thanks for reading! Take care and drink some water, love you all

Uh- I'm new to this fandom (and I dunno If I have to feel embarassed by that haha I'm just so late to the party) and I just wanted to say that I love your blog! Your artstyle is sometimes very soothing but always elegant and gorgeous :D You explore sides of the Italian history that not many people know about, but are so interesting! (And -as an italian myself- your italian is perfect! May I ask if you're italian, too?) Thank you for your works of art :) 💫

Haha omg thank you! It's definitely a very old fandom, but pretty sturdy in a way. I absolutely understand the feeling, but I'd say you are better off than if you would have joined earlier. The fandom is very mellow compared to the mid-2010s, and I feel like especially the few who do period and other historical artwork are very dedicated!

You're very welcome to check out the recommendation list below that I reblogged some time ago, there's some cool folks on it and their art is really good!

And despite me using the language regularly, I am not Italian - I just try to do my research and I regularly ask native speaker friends for corrections and translations, especially when Feli, Benigno or Romano speak their local dialects.

thank you, and good to see you! I'm on a bigger hiatus right now due to a lot of shit going on in my life (also I'll be abroad for a few months!). I'm looking forward to updating though.
