How do you think America, Canada, Sweden and Denmark would react to an s/o who thinks it’s amusing to flirt and tease them but basically pops a blood vessel any time it happens to them?

Since you didn’t say Yandere. I’m not going to write it as such.

I’ll add Swedens part in the morning. It’s 1:30am and I have no idea how the hell it got that late.

🇺🇸America 🇺🇸

He loves you but his ego is the size of Jupiter. Anyone who’s not aware that the two of you are together must have been living under a rock. It’s difficult to ignore his faux sweet/menacing stare from across the room with the person who’s trying to impress you. Within 5 minutes or less they will feel his vibrant blues staring back as he approaches.

“Hey there nice to meet you Alfred F. Jones. Nice to meet you. I’m y/n’s s/o.”

He’s going to grip the living hell out of the person who was flirting with you. For the rest of the night, Alfred will be stuck to you like glue and he will embarrass you. He will introduce himself to anyone you talk to as your hero.

When others flirt with him.

Your blood is basically hot lava when you see many who flock to him. He’s an attractive blonde and that’s the price you pay for it. Because people want Mo-moa him. He’ll allow people to fawn over him until he sees your cute face practically overflowing with magma and steaming coming out of your ears. He’ll waltz over to you and won’t be Loki in his endeavors to embarrass you in a sweet way.

“Ladies and Gentlemen meet the one who is Robin my heart y/n my cute S/O!” He’ll kiss you delicately on the lips as people take photos, gasp, pout, or stare in awe at the spectacle.

🇨🇦 Canada 🇨🇦

If you managed to get into a relationship with sweet maple boy, then congratulations he trusts you and that's a rare thing for someone who’s been abandoned so often. Meaning he does have enough self-esteem to let people flirt with you without the overwhelming fear that someone will take you from him. He’ll glance in your direction every once in a while. If you body language reads as neutral he’s not going to worry about you. Remember this mans has got faith in you. And no one wants to see sweet Mattie cry. He eventually wanders over to you and sees what is going on in your conversation. When it’s confirmed that you’re not taking the bait that the person is giving out Matthew is likely to relax. His savaged heart is soothed. He will give you a quick peck on the cheek. But trust me when I say that the person whos flirting does get a slightly dirty look from his violet irises.

When people try to flirt with him

It’s going to fly over his head. He won’t understand the subtle cues too well.

Also, you won his heart by being over the top and giving him a teddy bear.

Or he will make it really obvious that he’s disinterested that the has a cute S/O and will proceed to talk about you at length.

By the time you approach him the steam coming from your ears has subsided and replaced with slight embarrassment. You wanted to say something scathing to the person who dared to try and take your man. But considering they’re already getting an earful about how you're his sweet maple you don’t see the need to say anything.

🇩🇰Denmark 🇩🇰

Another who is confident in you and the relationship that you share. He’s the life of the party and plenty of people surround him as they gawk at his antics. He may be a party animal but that does not me he does not have his eyes on you through the duration of the party. He will saunter over to you and your talking partner and interject.

“WHOS DOWN FOR A COMPETITIVE DRINKING GAME!” His laugh fills your ears and leaves a ring.

The game is Cards Against Humanity with a twist: Whoever wins each round has to take a shot of Akvivit. Whether or not you consider that punishment or reward is up to you. I drink like an Irishman so you better believe I’m tryna win. I hope you have a strong liver because this spiky-haired blonde knows how to keep a party going until dawn.

When people flirt with him

He’s going to shrug them off and try to steer the conversation in a different direction. If the person that is flirting with him continues to try to score with him. He’s going to get weird with them and start talking about how Ikea furniture can turn into a superhero robot. To make it even more awkward he will do dumb poses and insist on getting that person drunk.

“Hey! Bartender! can I get some of the strongest shit you got!?”

When he sees you careening toward shim with rage in your eyes he will be curt with that person and likely leave them drunk out of their mind. Also, Matthias is horny as hell a lot of the time and he wants his booty when he gets home and he will do anything not to jeopardize that.

Shamchat couldnt save this...

This is a conversation between Fairy!Arthur Kirkland //Yes for starter// and yourself, Alfred F. Jones.

Alfred F. Jones: +yes

Fairy!Arthur Kirkland //Yes for starter//: Arthur flew around a human’s kitchen, using his magic to make the human a cake. He felt it was the least he could do after routinely stealing the human’s food and the one time he swapped the sugar with the salt. Arthur wasn’t all too fond of humans in the first place, but he had taken a liking to this one in particular. Arthur originally liked to mess around with the human, moving things around and turning lights on and off just for laughs, but over time he started to be a bit nicer, cleaning the human’s desk and making sure that everything was in it’s place. After months of being around this human, they still hadn’t noticed him. Arthur remembered a time when humans feared fairies, but nowadays, Arthur found that most humans didn’t even think fairies existed. He didn’t mind. Honestly, he liked it this way, it was much more fun watching them mumble about ghosts instead of the obvious conclusion. Arthur continued working on the cake, trying his hardest to make sure it didn’t burn like his first attempt had. As gifted as he was with magic, baking was never Arthur’s strong suit. Still, Arthur wasn’t worried, he had time before the human got home. Arthur had figured out what times the human had work and built his usual schedule around that. He had an hour at least. And everything was going fine, until Arthur heard the door open. Quickly, Arthur dropped what he was doing, literally, and flew behind a glass vase. Arthur heard the door close and footsteps. Usually Arthur would just fly straight to the window the human always left open, but if he did that, he would have to pass the human and run the risk of being seen. It was too risky. Arthur stayed where he was, watching the human enter the kitchen with wide eyes.

Alfred F. Jones: Alfred had gotten back from work earlier then usual. He was very glad his boss allowed him to leave an hour early. Upon getting home, he entered the kitchen ready to find something to eat, as he usually did when returning home. Although, when he entered one of his favorite places in his home, he stopped in his tracks near the doorway. "...Okay! That's it! I'm done! Ghost, show yourself! You're really freaking me out! What are you even doing to my kitchen? Like seriously man, what the heck?" Alfred yelled, walking into the kitchen more to inspect the "Ghost's" mess. "Is... is this cake batter? Why? Were ya gonna through a ghost party and not tell me?" He glanced around the room, silent as he waited for a response from his ghost housemate. Strange occurrences had been happening in his home for a while now and he's honestly fed up with it at this point. First, the ghost was mean and played tricks on him and now it rearranges his stuff to where he can't find it and apparently bakes cake. "Were ya even gonna share the cake..?" He muttered to himself as he looked around the kitchen for any signs of supernatural activity.

Fairy!Arthur Kirkland //Yes for starter//: Arthur stayed hidden, but couldn't help but giggle a bit. A ghost party? Really? Yes, he did find it funny to screw with Alfred, and seeing him like this made Arthur less worried that he'd be seen. What Arthur found even funnier was that even after all of this Alfred insistently believed in ghosts, but not fairies. He kept a close eye on Alfred as he used his magic to clean up a bit of batter that had spilled on the counter. He didn't mean to make so much of a mess, it just sorta happened. He peeked his little head out from behind the glass vase and stared up at Alfred. For the record, he was making the cake for Alfred anyway, so of course he was going to share it. And once Alfred left, Arthur would finish making the cake.

Alfred F. Jones: Alfred's attention instantly went to the movement he saw out of the corner of his eye. "Ah-ha!" He exclaimed as he turned toward where he thought the ghost was, due to the batter on the counter being cleaned. "So you're still in here! Sweet! Bro, its fine that ya made a mess. I honestly don't care. Plus ya usually clean up my messes so its cool. I just wanna, I dunno, talk. I guess. Wait.. are you able to talk? Oh geez, I'm gonna look like an asshole if ya can't. I'm sorry man. I just.. I'm kinda upset that ya like move my stuff around, I've lost a lot of things because if it... And I'm like super grateful though! Is there anyway I can see ya? Maybe I can like throw flour on ya and see ya that way? Ya know, like in the cartoons. Oh, sorry I'm rambling. Is there anything ya wanna say, if you can I mean." He ranted casually. He used to be so scared of ghosts, but after living with one and trying everything he could find to get rid of his unexpected housemate, he eventually just gave up and lived with it. He had to admit it was pretty rad to live with a ghost. "It's just I wanna work this whole living, not living? together thing out? Like, is there anything ya need?" He asked, looking off to the side, where he assumed the ghost wasn't was. "Huh?" he uttered as he noticed something odd and tiny next to a vase. "What the.." he trailed off, blinking, thinking his eyes may be playing tricks on him.

Fairy!Arthur Kirkland //Yes for starter//: Arthur burst into a fit of laughter as he watched Alfred talk to thin air. It was just too much honestly. "Bloody idiot," he managed to say while he shook with laughter, his wings fluttering a bit as well. But his laughter stopped the minute he noticed Alfred looking his way. Arthur hid behind the glass vase, holding his breath and closing his eyes, not daring to move for fear of being seen. Perhaps he shouldn't have gotten so comfortable around Alfred, even if the human was rather dull. Arthur waited for a while before looking around the vase again, quickly, before hiding again. Alfred was still there and clearly was watching him. Arthur felt butterflies in his stomach and feared for the worst.

Alfred F. Jones: Alfred crouched down so that his face is level with the counter. "Is that you? Are...Are you a small ghost?" He asked curiously, since he definitely saw something, but wasn't sure what exactly he saw. "I'm not gonna hurt ya. Like I said I wanna talk, see ya, figure out how this living or nonliving together thing out." He added softly, hoping to coax the small ghost out of hiding. "..hmm... will it help if I told ya about me? My name's Alfred Jones. I'm single. I like to have fun and I work at a arcade place. I also like to volunteer at a pet shelter. So, what about you?" he asked, waiting patiently for a response.

Fairy!Arthur Kirkland //Yes for starter//: Arthur listened carefully but still didn't trust Alfred. Even if he was an idiot, Alfred was a human, and Arthur didn't trust humans. Sure, he liked to mess around, but he hadn't actually spoken to a human in hundreds of years. Arthur swallowed and took a deep breath before speaking, still hiding behind the vase. "I'm not a ghost, Alfred," was all he said. He remained there for a moment more before coming out from behind the vase and looking Alfred in the eye. Something about this made Arthur uneasy. Arthur didn't like the feeling at all. He shook it off and spoke again. "I'm Arthur. I'm a fairy."

Alfred F. Jones: Alfred's eyes widened as Arthur revealed himself to him. "Woah.. you're not a ghost!" Alfred exclaimed quietly, staring at Arthur. "Your're so tiny!" Honestly, Alfred was flabbergasted at this new concept. He was shocked to see that a small little fairy had been doing everything he thought the ghost was doing, but at the same time he is relieved that it wasn't a ghost at all. "It's nice ta meet cha, Arthur! How long have ya been here in my home?" he asked, grinning happily.

Alfred F. Jones: ((sorry about the wait I had a sudden phone call))Fairy!Arthur Kirkland //Yes for starter//: ((It's fine!))Fairy!Arthur Kirkland //Yes for starter//: Arthur gave a small smile as Alfred spoke. This wasn't at all what he was expecting, but he went with it. "About a month, I think," he answered. He nervously scratched his neck and shifted his weight. "I really am sorry for all the trouble I caused you, Alfred. I hope you'll accept my apology," he said after a long pause. Now that he was talking to Alfred, he felt he should be a bit more polite, seeing as Alfred was being nothing if not polite to him.Alfred F. Jones: Alfred is excited to meet the new creature and hopefully become his friend. "That's cool and it's all cool, man! Is it just you here or are there others? Do fairies live in, like, packs or something or do they live on their own? Oh! Or do they choose a human to live with and ya chose me?" He asked, extremely curious as he continued to ask questions. "Where have ya been sleeping? Do fairies sleep? What about food? Do you eat anything? Ah! Were you the one making this cake? How did you do all this by yourself? Everything is so big compared to you. You must be very strong to be able to pick everything up!" He finally stopped talking for a moment, waiting for Arthur to speak. It's as if Alfred had reverted back to childhood as he spoke with the fairy.

Fairy!Arthur Kirkland //Yes for starter//: ((brb))

Alfred F. Jones: ((mkay))

Fairy!Arthur Kirkland //Yes for starter// has left the conversation.

#im gonna cry #they left

From the notes of Capt. Alfred Jones: "Davie was a bus and the 'Flying Fortress' moniker seemed to pass her by, but it was a ship with a brave crew. The trudge of getting back to England from enemy territory is a story for another day. I miss her and sometimes I miss the boys we lost that day."

-✪- -✪- -✪-

B-17F "Dear Davie": *U.S. Army Model B-17F-65-BO Air Corps Serial No. 42-29670 Delivered Cheyenne 31/1/43; Pueblo 18/2/43; Salina 15/2/43; Brookley 19/3/43; Smoky Hill 23/3/43; Dow Field 18/4/43. Assigned to the 333rd Bomb Squadron/94th Bomb Group [TS-L] "DEAR DAVIE" 22/4/43; Missing in Action near Hamburg 25/7/43 with Alfred "Comet" Jones, **Co-Pilot: Daryl "Speed" Reed, Navigator: Richard Reed, Bombardier: Charlie Marstaller; Radio Operator: Johnathan Graves, Flight Engineer/Top Turret Gunner: Clyde "Pepsi" Ray, Ball Turret Gunner: William Ortlieb, Waist Gunner: Leslie Lipsey, Waist Gunner: Paul Rapoport, Tail Gunner: Thomas Pugh (6 Killed in Action); "DEAR DAVIE" lost to flak/anti-aircraft fire, crashing near Uetersen, 15 miles NW of Hamburg, Germany.

-✪- -✪- -✪-

[nerd things & acknowledgements below cut]

Notes on the B-17F... The B-17F was an upgrade of the previous E model, with several notable changes: A one- or two-piece plexiglas nose cone, as opposed to the ten-paneled cone of previous versions. Reinforced landing gear allowed for a greater maximum payload, from 4,200 lb (1,900 kg) of ordnance to 8,000 lb (3,600 kg). Flight and combat range of the F model was improved by 900 mi (1,400 km) with the addition of nine self-sealing rubber fuel cells in the wing root, aka, "Tokyo tanks". The F model was generally characterized by being tail-heavy - which lead to part failure - and woefully undefended from the front; the early F models had no front-facing armament, leaving a 60° blind spot to the direct front of the aircraft - a flaw which was exploited by German pilots, who held air superiority. Later F models would see a list of possible available modifications (factory and field) such as inserting two .50 caliber machine guns into the nose cone to solve the blind spot. Other modifications to later F models were bulged cheek turrets, as opposed to the window-mounted guns of earlier iterations, and the available addition of the iconic "Bendix" chin turret. The chin turret is far more common on the subsequent G "gunship" variant. ("Dear Davie" is an early F model without the nose mount, bulged cheeks, or chin turret.)

*This model production block, serial no., and fate are borrowed from real-life B-17F #42-29670, "Thundermug." "Thundermug" was an aircraft that originally served in the 333rd Bomb Squadron/94th Bomb Group alongside my great-grandfather and his usual steed, "The Gremlins Hotel." It was transferred to the 544th BS/384th BG, at which point it went Missing in Action over Hamburg from flak/aa-fire; 8 of its crew became POWs while 2 were KIA. I have had the honor to speak to descendants of both of its crews and help them research "Thundermug"; I wish to voice a mere glimpse of their stories in a unique way.

**All names of Alfred's crew are either cobbled-together family names throughout our history here or entirely fictitious - though some were inspired by real people whom I grew up with stories of. All inspirations were individuals that lived good lives post-war.

If you ever hear Alfred say he doesn’t like Dolly Parton, that’s an imposter. Destroy it immediately and by any means necessary.

Do you have any gerame/ameger thoughts you’d like to share? 🎤🎤🎤

It’s a solid rizz ‘em with the ‘tism from both sides. They’re both nerds. Engineers but different flavors. Two archaeologists if you’re like me and so inclined. Special interests galore. You can distract two birds with one Wikipedia rabbit hole stone. Just give them the page for concrete and it’s going to be the most focused you see either of them. They will attempt to engineer their way out of many things, sometimes literally.

Ludwig is also the hood to the falcon that is Alfred; he has the steadfast nature to keep that dreamer from flying away, or merely too high. But falcons are strong, able to bear things much heavier than they into the air. Alfred has that easy personable confidence that can drag Ludwig out of the house and out of the shell. I’d like to think there’s some admiration on both sides. “How does he make interaction look so easy?” vs. “How does that guy manage to stay so focused?” Despite Alfred being older, y’know, it’s Lud that’s got the itinerary for everything while the other tries to get him to be loose and wing it. They can balance each other. It helps that they’re both young yet still and contain a lot of energy.

Also autism be damned but both of my boys can GRILL. Maybe this is just me bringing my own Texas history and heritage into it, but we find that many barbecue techniques here stem from our history of German immigrants and settlement (though of course that’s not the only source). Lud and Al are also just peak dad fashion couple, I fear. Give them both a lawnmower and the white Reeboks, your grass will be cut in no time.

alfred rocking some different flight jackets (nerd stuff under cut)

The flight jacket, an iconic piece of any aviator's outerwear. Before they ever became symbols of fashion and the 'exalted' place that came with the occupation of pilot, the flight jacket as we know it was first made for function. Aircraft of World War I and the earliest designs were open cockpit machines, and many would remain that way in the Interbellum. All that to say this paramount paraphernalia's original purpose was to keep an aviator warm in the sky.

Keep in mind that the images above may not reflect every specimen of their type. Jackets differed in design by manufacturer, production block, and even by the military branch (Navy jackets also often have a different name) & unit ordering them. A great example is the wide range of looks for the quintessential B-3. My apologies in advance for them being all American designs. I would love to show off some of the British flight jackets, but I would rather do a little more research (and practice drawing Arthur more)!

A-1 (1927-1931) A thin leather jacket designed for lower altitudes and made with a flattering fit high on the waist, the A-1 was the kickstart to the wide variety the Army Air Corps would come to know. The A-1 had differing designs between the Navy and the infant Air Corps, and early A-1s are distinguished by having seven buttons and a knit collar, which later models did not keep. However, later models did retain the knit waistband and cuffs.

A-2 (1931-1943) The direct successor to the A-1, the A-2 quickly replaced its older brother. This is one of the more recognizable jackets from the States after becoming the standard for the Air Corps in the early 1930s. The quality of the jackets would fall due to wartime rationing, with early designs of horsehide and silk becoming goatskin and cotton, however, the general look remained. The A-2 was still primarily for open cockpit designs, lower altitudes, and warmer climes. Identifiable from the A-1 by its snap-down leather collar, zipper, and varying shapes and sizes of a hook-and-eye clasp at the collar to close it.

G-1 (1938-present) This looker would replace the A-2 in form and function during the 1940s, first becoming popular with the Army and Navy before being adopted by USAAF. Originally named the ANJ-3/AN-J-3 the jacket gained its new designation by the time the Air Corps caught on. The G-1 came with a mouton collar and a bi-swing back to allow for greater arm movement, meanwhile, it lacked the over-zipper 'wind flap' of its predecessors. A keen eye for pop culture might realize that this is the jacket from the 1986 hit Top Gun.

B-3 (1934-1943) Ah, the B-3! Commonly known simply as the "bomber jacket," the B-3 was made with a high-altitude bomber in mind, unlike previous designs. Incredibly bulky and lined with sheepskin the B-3 was made to keep crews at 25,000 feet above from freezing in their unpressurized cabins, with many such as the early B-17 Flying Fortresses possessing open waist gunner ports. The wide collar could be closed with two leather straps and the jacket did not come with the famous knit waistband or cuffs that others did. "The General" was a B-3 design made specifically for General George S. Patton, who popularized the B-3 outside of the Air Corps. (The B-3 had a slimmer cousin - the B-6 - designed as the 'quality of life' inside bombers improved, such as pressurized cabins.)

B-7 (1941-1942) Short-lived, the B-7 Parka was manufactured for pilots operating in the brutal cold of Alaska. However, not much is known of it due to its limited production. In fact, the B-7 was discontinued swiftly due to its high manufacturing cost. Either way, the B-7 is a funky one-off that is easily distinguishable from the lineup by its three-quarter length and coyote-lined hood.

B-15 (1944-1954) The infamous green flight jacket that many today typically know as the "bomber jacket". The B-15 quickly replaced its older brother, the B-10 (1943-1944). Like other designs it had many variations. Similar to the G-1, the B-15 shared the same pocket design and lack of a wind flap, yet the B-15 was cloth with a mouton collar and a knit waistband and cuffs. The shell was produced in a range of materials including nylon and cotton-rayon. It was lighter weight and far less warm than its sheepskin predecessors and spoke to the advancements in aviation technology. A quirk of its design that soon became standard was the designated pen pocket on the upper left arm.

Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

Post headcanons abt Arthur and his first baby you coward, you fool. The audience arrived, we are here, yet you stay silent upon the stage.

(Just joking ofc, tho id give you a kidney if you gave us some hcs abt their early days <3)

I know it's not a headcanon, but I hope this will still be satisfactory. A moment between a new father and his first son, to whom Arthur wishes the world.

“You coddle him,” came Rhys’ voice, blunt and teasing.

Arthur waved his brother’s words away. They were meaningless like wayward flecks of spume against the broad side of a ship in the face of the treasure held tight to his chest. Sleepless nights, tears, and the terror of the unknowing life. He had watched his son like a hawk for years, and the boy now grew blessedly stronger. Each time little Alfred grabbed his finger, the babe’s grip was vicelike, and Arthur knew the little chubby squish of pain was worth all his toils.

Alfred burbled up at Arthur, seeing his father’s watchful eyes glimmer, a mostly toothless smile scrunching his small face with joy.

Heart squeezing and eyes wide, Arthur knew he would endure it all again as long as that babe was laughing. Hugging the heavy bundle tighter to his chest, Arthur bounced the boy gently as he fiddled with a pocket of his coat. Life was difficult when one-handed, but he hated putting Alfred down. The troubles a baby could get into with any degree of autonomy he did not wish to imagine, not after famine and disease and blood. Alfred seemed determined to bind the world with his gums if his father allowed him, in any case, and to grab it without hesitation. There were dangers on the floor that the boy approached fearlessly. That determination. It was a good thing to have, Arthur knew, but woeful for life still so seemingly fragile.

A faint jingle answering his seeking fingers told the man he’d found his quarry. Arthur whisked the trinket from his pocket in a closed fist, the toy’s chain hanging from between two fingers. The near-sterling silver rings tinkled prettily against one another as he shook his fist above Alfred’s head. Curiosity lit the deep skies held in his son’s face like stars and Arthur couldn’t keep the soft smile from turning the corners of his mouth, shaking the chain again. Skies and stars indeed, for he had never observed someone to watch the heavens so closely at such a young age. Silently he praised the boy’s curiosity; one day it might have its questions answered if Arthur had anything to say about it. He would give that lad the sky and the seas.

Short, squishy fingers reached up for the chain, seeking the noisemaker with excitement. Arthur raised it away from his baby’s reach and took delight in seeing him try again. So he played the cat-and-mouse, jerking the prize just inches from Alfred’s grasp when he waved his hands skyward. Alfred laughed uproariously each time the toy made its metallic clinking and at seeing the smile on his father’s face. Arthur opened his fingers to reveal the rest of the shining silver toy and raised it to his mouth. One end was a sweet little whistle, which he blew quietly in the face of the babe. A high, windy note spiraled out into the air between them and Alfred laughed again, his entire face bright and bold. It made the boy redouble his efforts.

Arthur finally acquiesced, lowering his hand enough for those ferocious fingers to grip the tiny silver rings and tug. Once more Alfred’s burgeoning strength shot a bolt of pride through the man’s chest. With reluctant fingers he allowed the toy to drop into his son’s happy hands. Little curved talons, blunt by youth, curled around the moon-bright metal like a hunting bird content with its catch. The babe brought the whistle end to his soft mouth and immediately made to teethe on the silver. Tiny puffs of breath made the whistle sing and stutter, and Alfred’s eye glimmered happily, gazing up at Arthur as though he’d hung the heavens. Quickly he slobbered on the toy, but Arthur couldn’t help but feel enraptured by his son, drool or not.

Having forgotten the watching eyes beside him, it was Rhys’ voice that broke his reverie. “You ordered the coral, after all? No measure too small.”

Arthur blinked, looking up and away, then back to the toy in his son’s burbling mouth. The opposite end of the whistle had a stub of red, red coral from lands far away, polished to a beautiful shine. It was worth it to him. Anything to keep winding spirits and the fey away from his boy who had already suffered enough. No measure too small.

“Someday he will not need it, I hope.”

Alfred Franklin Jones

theme | playlist

physical age: 21-25 | actual age: ~460 || height: 6'2" (188 cm) || weight: ~225 lb (102.06 kg)

alfred is the resident gym rat. looks soft until he flexes, then one remembers ah, yes, there are abs there.

[ tattoos ]

other stuff:

same height as george washington (op is not slick)

rather skinny after his sir lord father until the second world war - then he started bulking

nose is slightly aquiline

a lopsided smile that favors the left & dimples on both sides

slight cleft chin - more apparent in certain light conditions

nearsighted - will run into walls without his glasses (free entertainment)

scars:

irregularly shaped burn scar (left pectoral) - a remnant of the burning of washington, d.c. in 1814

lacerations/former stitches (left upper arm, left side of abdomen) - a series of gashes that nightmarishly opened up during the civil war - one of which preceded any shots fired as tensions rose. in anatomical position, this scar appears to line up near perfectly with south carolina's place on the map of the united states. south carolina was the first entity to secede from the union.

shrapnel scars (across shoulders and back) - injuries from two flak hits sustained by his b-17f "dear davie" mid-world war two after being separated from the bomber command and chased by bandits.

((the last one may be a headcanon i elaborate on someday))

Character Design Notes: Alfred

Hopefully this can make up for not posting much art lately. Also, you guys get to see how my brain works a little bit. This is part of why I have trouble drawing new characters. I have the goal to take inspiration from their native fauna - or national symbol, if there is one - since I think the nations represent their land as much as they represent their people. It can take me a little while since I also have a serious case of "needs real-life human inspiration to envision human characters". Seeing the hairstyle and large glasses of an unknown student at my university is what drove me to finally draw Mathieu (and I hope to do so more). So, because you guys know me - and my blog - I of course have notes on Alfred. I do have some notes on other characters, too, but nothing visually solid like I have for Alfred, or perhaps Mathieu and Ivan.

Uniforms of the Cold War There were many pieces and variations of the uniforms for the emergent post-World War II powers. While they remained mostly styled after yesterday's uniforms, several changes came about to bring us the outerwear that most recognizes today. These renderings are not perfect, but they can hopefully provide a suitable image of the era.

[ sources ]

Capt Alfred F. Jones // U.S. Air Force After the Air Force was codified as an official military branch in 1947, we find Alfred sporting the 1949-1964 Air Force blue (shade 84*) Field/Service uniform. This version, rather than the McPeak Dress Jacket, is based upon the Eisenhower or 'Ike' Field Jacket (M1943 accompaniment) made famous by General Dwight D. Eisenhower. The Air Force did allow for the tan jacket typical of the time to also be worn - and for fellow Hetalians you will recognize the tan or olive drab Ike jacket as the typical choice for Alfred's Cold War dress - however, in 1949, the release of the Air Force Blue drove a push for a new wave of uniforms. Its accompanying garments should be as follows; shade blue 120 cotton poplin (pictured)/shade 126 cotton oxford undershirt; shade 84 service necktie**. The uniform can be worn with either the Service Dress Cap or the flight cap (pictured above), both required to be shade 84. As an officer, Alfred's flight cap bears a silver cord braid. Last but not least, the required dress shoes shall be black and socks shall be black. *The trousers should be the same shade as the jacket, but they were made darker for artistic reasons. **The necktie - while listed as shade 84 - often ended up darker than the jacket, likely due to material.

Kapitan Ivan Braginsky // Red Army (Artillery)* The uniforms of the immediate post-war Soviet Union, like the United States, closely followed those of the Great Patriotic War. Ivan wears a very short-lived uniform, perhaps misleadingly known as the 'Zhukov' officer dress, despite the fact that then-Minister of Defense Georgy Zhukov was a strong pillar against the naval-styled uniform. This style was produced from 1955-1957; from the death of Stalin until the end of Zhukov's tenure as Minister of Defense. It features the M55 Dress jacket in a stormy, steely blue-gray (listed officially as gray). This jacket may have been worn as a parade, dress, semi-dress, or even service jacket (sources vary) - pictured above is the 'Parade Walking-Out' version of the jacket. Paired with the M55 are the dark blue officer breeches of the time. These would have been upheld by suspenders and paired with no foot or leg wraps. Upon Ivan's uniform is featured red piping and black velvet hat banding denoting his service in the Armored and/or Artillery forces, in contrast to the raspberry of infantry. Ivan is far too large to fit inside a tank, so Artillery became his assignment. The Zhukov-style uniform is easily recognized by the gold cockade and leaves upon the visor of the officer's cap. Hidden by Ivan's scarf are notched lapels and black velvet panels. He wears a ceremonial belt worn in conjunction with the Parade Dress. *I apologize for this section being less detailed. Finding decent sources on Soviet-era uniforms in my region that aren't on apologist forums can be difficult as I do not have access to a more formal library or archive.
