our favorite golden retriever boy's bday is soon AND powwow season is just around the corner so here's some indigenous headcanons I've got for alfred f. jones!
he is actively attempting to learn every single native language within his region, but fluently speaks osage, dine bizaad, hopi, mvskoke, and algonquian massachusett and ojibwa
he is the embodiment of sunshine. he can make everyone laugh, and that includes babies. that being said, he has been the reason for at least 100+ babies' first laughs and has proudly thrown parties for each of their families as per the navajo tradition
him (and matt) fully volunteer to drum and sing at powwows, especially at small town ones. they will roadtrip across canada and the us during the summer and absolutely bring the party to the 49. they also do it to overindulge in piccadilly and indian tacos
he is not a religious person but he does acquiesce in spiritual traditions he has picked up from native elders. the major one he uses is smudging. alike the kid from 'sixth sense', he sees dead people-- or ghosts to be exact lol. and he hates them! which is why he will often smudge and pray early in the morning, once a week, to cleanse any spirits from his house
smokes are always in his possession. while he does smoke on occasion, he mostly carries them with him for exchanges. for example, if he encounters a cool mineral on the roadside, instead of just taking it, he will leave tobacco behind as a show of appreciation
he feeds the rez dogs exponentially (even when everyone at every rez keeps telling him not to fuckin do that, you shitass)
put him on your rob list because he owns so many beaded jewelry and turquoise, it may just pay off your student loans and then some
his mutton sandwiches and navajo burgers will make you fall in love with him, no joke
Talking about girl indchu btw :3

it was magnificent. the way that author described the suffocating room, the uncomfortability. then the way they immediately just devour each other. biting, blood, gripping, pulling in-- god I'm just such a slut for their dynamic... CURSE YOU ANON!!!
I genuinely feel like I’m going insane sometimes
he's too damn tall but they make it work
russia, america, and tchaikovsky are greatly intertwined. get this-- piano concerto no. 1 (the same composition that would later be played at the tchaikovsky piano competition in 1958 by van cliburn) would first debut in BOSTON.
I imagine they were both in attendance for the debut and it greatly impacted them. not only because it's tchaikovsky, but because they were secretly courting.
this could explain why they reacted so passionately to van cliburn at the moscow observatory.
rusame fiends... I have just found out that tchaikovsky performed at the inauguration of carnegie hall in 1891

alexa, play 'playboy of the western world' by connie converse pls
2p rusame human au in the 1980s where dmitri is a trucker from montana who just migrated from russia and allen is an Indian cowboy from gallup who bucks at state rodeos. they meet when dmitri’s truck shuts down outside the convenience store in the reservation and allen lets him borrow his house phone (cause the public phone was knocked down months ago). it’s there that they get acquainted and allen notices dmitri has a hard time with english.
they get to talking and knowing more of each other and then allen lets him crash on his couch. allen gets an uncle to help him fix the issue with the truck the next morning and dmitri is all set to leave- but not before they exchange info. after becoming friends, allen teaches dmitri english and helps him with his citizenship test, and in exchange, dmitri teaches him how to stay on a horse better (because he worked at a horse riding school in khabarovsk).
Could we know your fav ships :3 ?
hello! of course! I would say my favorites are:
russia x america ofc!!
india x china
france x england
cuba x canada
canada x ukraine
and I'm sure a few more I'm forgetting, but these are the ones that take up my mind often. I don't draw half of these ships enough though and I'll be sure to change that soon!
