Writer/Writer'sMotherland - Cultural/Historical Theme

[anonymous]

My request is as simple as it is open-ended. I would love to see fills regarding about the person filling this prompt, paired or whatever (love, friendship, etc) with one of the country's that they have in their lineage.

Ex: If I was Italian, I would write about me with Italy.

But it's not that simple (else it would be totally boring!) for whomever you writers out their wind up writing with yourselves (Or OC's I suppose, they need some love too), you need to include some form of cultural/historical back-story, fact, or theme to the fill.

Ex 2: With Italy, I might include the culture/history kink of him being a great country for agriculture or that it's predominantly of the Roman Catholic religion.

I feel that this prompt might be a nice excuse to learn a little more about your mother/fatherland that you come from (using the loveliness of hetalia of course!), and it's just been floating around my head for a while ;P

Following the Dead (notes)

[anonymous]

My grandparents on both sides are Russian immigrants; the rest of their families were killed between pogroms and the second World War. I've never been to Russia, but my parents have searched for surviving family; it's been mostly dead ends, for obvious reasons. As Russia says, there are /billions/ of dead. Although a silver lining would be that just a few years ago, my mom tracked down distant cousins still living in Russia. :)

Good luck to other anons, I'll be following this closely~ eue

I really enjoyed this. Like, read it several times enjoyed this. The tone feels so cold that I don't require any description of a Russian winter. I love your portrayal of Russia the character; in my imagination, your Russia is PRECISELY how I picture modern-day Russia. And the ending. Holy crap that was spectacular.

Sorry, I blathered :( But really, fantastic job!

ouo I loved that fill anon; your Russia was positively amazing, just as I always suspect he would be in the current time. And, as Russian anon myself, I loved the history and detail you put in about your ancestors, it was all amazing <3

I'm happy you were able to find some family still in Russia

Re: Following the Dead (1/1)

Oh wow, a!a. Such a short fill, and yet you managed to pack so much into it. Your Russia is absolutely amazing.

Holding the Dream [1/2]

Haha, not the other anons from above (who did great jobs, btw!). I saw this and it would not let me pass it by. I suppose my interpretation is way different in that I don’t even have a relationship with America, just a passing encounter, but the idea wouldn’t leave me alone. So, uh. Sorry for fail.

She has always felt American, there was no denying that. It was instilled in her at an early age, learning to stand and say the pledge of allegiance every day, and became even more intense as she grew up in a post-9/11 world (she remembers learning about the towers and being confused, not really understanding what it meant). And she identifies with being Black, of course (but that is an entirely different and complex issue), but she has no other nationalities to compete with her love for her country.

Her ancestors arrived on shore a long time ago and they were faceless, nameless, and unrecorded. It bothers her slightly that she can’t point out any definite border on a map and say “My people are from here” (mostly when her friends proudly

Holding the Dream [2/2]

“I wish I could have been there, but,” he shrugs. “Not meant to be.”

“My…uh, my dad participated in the protests. He was hit by policemen,” she says quietly, not sure why she’s sharing this information with this man. In any event, he doesn’t seem surprised. In fact, he just smiles and it makes her stomach feel like jelly.

“That’s something to be really proud of, you know?”

She’s about to say something like, of course I’m proud of my dad, but he interrupts her,

“Not just the protesting thing, which is great, but the struggle of it all. Never stopping until something is right. Holding onto what you have until you can make it better. Use that to make you stronger.”

For some reason, she gets the feeling that he isn’t talking about her dad anymore, looks at him, and feels there’s something of great magnitude about him. The blue of his eyes reminds her of the blue of the sky above her (awful, country, beautiful,) home county and she has no idea why it possibly would. He pauses for a moment and then breaks into laughter as though he

S.Italian!anon again

I think my favorite thing about this is the conflict of feeling uncomfortable being unable to place one's ancestors. Heritage-based pride seems to be a big deal for a lot of people and I'd never thought of just how weird it would be, not knowing precisely where one comes from.

My only gripe is I wish it was a longer fill because I enjoyed it a lot. I'm impressed with anon's ability to keep America in character AND make him sort of the mellow-wise-nation. I also liked his inconspicuousness.

I don't think you deviated from the prompt, just used a cool and interesting interpretation of it.

Re: Holding the Dream [2/2]

[anonymous]

Yessss. Anon, this was beautiful. Thank you for sharing this story with us. (And all of America is proud of your father.)

OP!Anon

[anonymous]

Oh jease no, I think you took the prompt and took it in a different direction! I absolutely loved how you had the outlook with America in there, stating that simply nobody is just AMERICAN, yet to be so is a culture in itself. The addition for your pride with your father, and pride in general for being an american was very clever, and very nice indeed <3 *coughandmaybeIshouldhavethoughtofthatintheoriginalpromptcough*

My Home is Here (1/4)

[anonymous]

She was actually a third-generation immigrant, whose family had actually immigrated into yet another country a generation ago. It was complicated and unnecessarily so, but such was her family history and she could not thought of another way to life. Most of her relatives were scattered across Europe and Oceania and America and the only one here was her family and her sickly uncle

The scowl went back on his face faster than she could take back her words. It was more of a pout, now that she had seen it up close, and it was kind of adorable. But despite his clear dislike of the topic, he answered her. “My former caretaker is visiting from the Netherlands. My…boss… ordered me to pick him up here” he said without real venom, just annoyance at having to do it

“Well, the people (me included) are always late. Not just the people, but the services and companies as well. Pollution is everywhere, there’s a rally to complain about everything, the younger generation disregard our culture (again, including me), sometime the customs around here are defying logic altogether, the roads and traffic jams give me a killer headache, and well, it’s still a developing country so there’s so many things that need to be fixed that it’s not even funny anymore

Re: My Home is Here (4/4)

[anonymous]

“What for? I’m the one who should be thanking you for listening to me!” she smiled at him and he laughed. It was a nice sound, a carefree and spirited sound that make her heart swell with joy. He stood up and extended a hand to her. She took it gratefully and jumped to her feet
