look at this BEAUTIFUL portrait of cowboy America, created by amazing artist (and parent to the greatest Mexico OC) @dahliamorena for an art trade we did!
Alfred interested in powerful partners is a reality but does it lead to something or he's just fantasising about something romantic or secual? I mean, he'd be pretty traumatised by his parental figures, no?
If Alfred is mentaly exhausted to a point of nearing a mental breakdown he will seek out something more.
Wild take but hear me out.
I always give Ivan as an example, since I find the dynamic very interesting.
Alfred is never romantic, he just isnt. Ivan isn't either. That is not a thing that exists between them. So if a calm Alfred knocks at Ivans door, making a romantic gesture of ANY kind, it's not good. Ivan knows this very well. If a lovely, amorous evenig between them is shared, it usually means Alfred is at deaths door, so to speak. When this happens, Alfred is quiet and absent minded. He will not be disagreeable, obnoxious, insulting... Most of all he will not fight, physically or verbaly. And like I said, Ivan understands this Alfred better than others. He also will not engage in any mockery or verbal discourse with Alfred.
The calm sea of a romantic eavning between them is usually either followed by or a result of a raging storm (mostly Alfreds raging storm). This is his way of saying "I need help and I need to cope." It usually isn't related to Ivan, what Alfred has to run from or cope from. So Ivan lets him be.
Other than this exchange their meetings are usually strictly buisness or physically related, never crossing the line into anything more than that.

and an extra scene redraw:
the world is a better place with trans women in it. trans women are valuable and important members of our communities. trans women deserve safety and protection and love.
the most beautiful thing is knowing there is not one single face to a country
there are so many nyotalia women to draw and not enough time
alfred spends one weekend in vegas and the national debt doubles
nations as greedy selfish beings....nations as beings that survive off the offerings and worship of the humans... longing 4 older times when they were honoured the right way.... nowadays money does the job decently for the transactional nature of the exchange between being like nations and the humans but they still crave the energy in sacrifice and worship and feasting.....
hot fucking take here but I think we should all stop drawing Prussia and Germany (or any Axis member for that matter) in WW2/Nazi uniforms and stop supporting people who do :)
My controversial take for the India fandom is to write India murdering England with his bare hands instead of forgiving England for colonialism and dating him maybe
