chip event plotting

[crotchroses.livejournal.com]

OH GOSH and here I almost forgot about this.

Time for a really bare-bones walk through French history! And by "walk" I mean "skipping across three time periods that stretch across about 1,900 years."

It's not a ridiculous event in the sense that we're not going to have dimensions ripping apart the fabric of time and space, but bodice-ripping historical and ... semi-educational shenanigans.

Open to anyone, obviously not just the Hetalia cast! It won't last long and will be primarily a lot of "what the fuck is going on with [France]" and the like. A rough outline of the event's... um, stuff, is under the cut.

Okay so I'm going to cut to the chase and there will be Wikipedia links and a few brief explanations. This involves me doing a bit of research on my own so if anyone knows more about these periods than I do, I sincerely apologize. For a history major I am quite unencyclopedic, BUT I DIGRESS. (also that's totally a word okok)

Friday/Saturday 14th/15th-Tuesday 18th: We have the Gallic Empire. This breakaway Roman Gaul will be a child, appearing about the age of ... around 7 years old, give or take. Don't misunderstand though; by the timeline I've set up he is already at least several centuries old. An intense mixture of Celtic and Roman culture, this little one is pagan and he will only be able to speak Latin and Gaulish, a form of Celtic. He can be highly fierce and also a brat, but... largely a sweet child.

Wednesday 19th-Saturday 22nd: Fast-forward over a thousand years. You have the Kingdom of France. This is one hell of a monarchy. More info on France in the Middle Ages is here. In any case, this is France in the aftermath of the Hundred Years' War. It's actually a series of wars, confusing and like many other wars, a little stupid yet understandable. To help you out, Joan of Arc you might be familiar with.

The date is--well we're in the 1550's during Italian War aka Habsburg-Valois War and this empire is rolling forward. Francis now looks to be a teenager and he is very confident and intent on continuing to be one hell of a kingdom. Luckily for most, English has advanced enough that he will understand you--along with the early Italian, Spanish, French and Germanic languages of that period. But mostly French.

Sunday 23rd-Friday 28th: Some may be familiar with the French Revolution--not to be confused with other civil uprisings through the centuries, or the turbulence of the 1800's. To put it simply, I mean the one with the guillotine, Marie Antoinette, where heads were rolling. There is so much more to this pivotal time in French history though, such as political intrigue, a macabre series of events and the breaking of the cultural dam that led to the chaotic Reign of Terror.

Which is the France that you will see in the last proper leg of this event. It isn't a very happy leg. Uh. For a proper time period, the early months of 1794. He is a nation in transformation and rattled by cultural, civic and economic upheaval, torn between the mightily established old regime and the necessity and desire for change.

After that, well, he'll eventually make a post about returning to normal and that will be the official end of the event--depending on my time frame and work shifts and most importantly what's going on in-game, at some point around Halloween.

He's living in Latimir 103 and Rosemary (fem!England) will be looking after him, but you can already guess how well most of this is going to go. History doesn't have to be your thing to plot with me! I'll worry about the research--and this is Hetalia and also me, so there will be a few small liberties taken and it won't be perfect--this is just for fun, and also because French history is pretty awesome.

Feel free to plot with me/with anyone else in this post! /o/~

AIM is MayorOfCantown if you've got any questions or wanna plot there.

Romana claims bbFranch and she will fight Rosemary for this :|

[crotchroses.livejournal.com]

can he cling to her skirt and have her good cooking and curl up with her at night he's not scared or anything don't even think it

[fettuttittes.livejournal.com]

Yes he can and she will cook him all the things and sing him to sleep and everyone will be so confused holy shit she has a nice side

[hullonurse]

Rosemary will fight back. No one will take the babbies from her.


Or rather Gaul just gets the most violent and doting mothers to ever exist. I'm sure he'll be thrilled.

[fettuttittes.livejournal.com]

Pls mama gaul was probs just as fierce.

And no fuck off rosemary had enough bbies let her have this one ok she'll shoot if she has too.

[aristocravat.livejournal.com]

I am entirely braindead right now, but there will be shenanigans. Of the 'oh god not this again' kind. :|

[crotchroses.livejournal.com]

oh hannah I love you and your austria aaaaahhhh

LOL "not this shit again" lsdkjflasdslfa isn't that his reaction to everything that isn't music...

[aristocravat.livejournal.com]

Wow don't say things like that I might get an ego or something. Wait I'm in Austria's account and am therefore borrowing an ego the size of Russia. I LOVE YOU AND YOUR FRANCE MORE X-(

pretty much : / everything except good music, specifically

[gochuugoku.livejournal.com]

/sob there is not much China can do since he's bedridden at the moment.

He will just freak out at the sudden aging and hope it doesn't happen to him when he gets his chip out.

[crotchroses.livejournal.com]

o-oh Chine why do you do this to yourse--oh wait it's China

but still

ALSO OH GOD and I thought I had a hard time picking time periods out of 2,000 years. If you do the history-type event I would be in awe forever, holy shit.

[gochuugoku.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah... I would have over five thousand years to choose from. Though, I was already planning something different.

I can't say just yet since China's still looking for someone who will take his chip out. He will probably ask around in his next post... and will mention that if he can find no one, he will attempt to remove it himself.

I am up for plotting if you want to plot here hi hi

Rosemary was half serious about tying him up, but when he turns into babby gaul he'll probably be able to slip free off that... And after that she'll be too enraptured by the baby!!!!!! to do anything about that. And she'll dote and fawn but I think it's highly unlikely she'll be able to keep him in one place out of trouble. Because he is a Gaul and cannot be tamed.

But otherwise, yes... England will mostly be trying to keep France inside and out of trouble over the course of the event but that's likely to be difficult... But she is a nurse and France is now her patient so tough luck! She will never give up.

[crotchroses.livejournal.com]

YEEE. Yes lsdkjfls he'll just freak out and then fall asleep and when he's Gaul he'll be like AHA SOMEONE TRIED TO TIE ME UP BUT THEY COULDN'T BECAUSE THEY WERE SO AFRAID OF ME! and then leave and look for people because what is this place it's terrifying is he dead

[noblemen.livejournal.com]

Aaaahh I really want England to interact with France somehow during the last stage of his chip removal. I'm tempted with the Gaul bit, but I feel like the greatest opportunity for discord (which is all I care about) would be the interactions between England and the Terror, because of their respective historical interactions.

Will he be using his communicator at all? Because there's just no way England is going to figure out his way to Discedo in time. If not, oh well, but if so, :3c

[crotchroses.livejournal.com]

look I have nothing coherent to say but I think this icon will sum things up beautifully. Check the keywords.

[dontcallmegol.livejournal.com]

I want to participate, but I'm totally blanking on what to do :|a

But if you want Ace for anything, you got him! So I'm all ears.

[fierybluebird]

Lol seconding this so hard. Marco speaks some broken French that he's still learning from France, English, Japanese, and a sort of psuedo Italian-Spanish mix from One Piece.

So yes. Also at the con. But pretty much if you want the pirate bros together, together they are.

[crotchroses.livejournal.com]

SWEET I look forward to both. guys guys come admire his huge awesome hat left over from his pirate days it's the best fucking hat ever

really there should be some bonding over seafaring and exploration when he's older, it'd be awesome *3*

[madamefatale.livejournal.com]

This sounds so awesome. So entirely awesome. Let me know if you'd like Marianne for anything at all. ♥ I'd love her to interact with France in the two latter stages, specifically.

[crotchroses.livejournal.com]

YES OF COURSE. Oh man he will have all the ladies, he is going to be the happiest little pseudo-empire. Also we can totally talk our respective headcanons and aaaaaahhhh excited *3* Anything you'd like to do in particular?

[starspangledhero]

REVOLUTION BUDDIES????
