part 349 heart shaped chocolates

Hi meme! Happy Valentine's day! I hope you have a sweet one. (Get it? Sweet? Because... chocolates and candies. Yeahhh.) Sadly, I don't think a candle in the window for Himaruya has led him home--yet. It's all very romantically tragic. Or tragically romantic. I don't know.

Enjoy part 349!

Sigismund Goetze’s Britannia Pacificatrix showing Britannia victorious after WWI, upholding the peace with the aid of Her far-off sons and allies within a marble colonnade topped with a Latin inscription.

She shakes hands with America, wearing the cap of liberty and holding the scales of justice. She in turn is flanked by France, grasping a short sword pointed downward at the wreckage of Germany’s war machine, and Italy, holding the axe and fasces. All stand on the imperial flag of Germany.

Behind the Mother Country stand the dominions- Newfoundland (holding the trident), and the others holding their red esnigns-South Africa (wearing a lion skin), Canada (crowned with wheat and girded with maple leaves), and Australia (in digger’s hat), embracing neighbour New Zealand (in golden fleece).

The supporting players are India in suit of armour, Arabia looking like King Feisal, Greece carrying a statue, Romania an oil jar, Japan cherry blossom, whilst a naked black boy supports on his head a cornucopia symbolising Africa’s potential. Belgium is seen naked with broken sword clinging to Britannia, but with flag unsullied, and a Serbia being comforted, clinging to Her flag.

This is just one big nationalistic symbol upon symbol upon symbol upon symbol...

I think Britain just came a little.

Britannia really likes half-naked people...

She just wants to show her broken sword to someone.

i did some googling: russia is indeed the woman wearing a bear skin and portugal is the woman with grapes

Re: sa

(Anonymous) 2014-02-23 03:02 pm (UTC)(link)
I was just about to guess Portugal. And Russia is sad because her empire is in ruins.

But what about that one who's behind them? The one who's holding plants? And who's that girl/boy who comforts Serbia?

Re: sa

i can't seem to find any information on the person behind them but the girl being comforted is actually montenegro with the girl doing the comforting being serbia :|a

Switch Britannia with America, and you basically have America's view on WWII

(Anonymous) 2014-02-23 08:52 pm (UTC)(link)

Italy stop giving fascist symbols as presents

(Anonymous) 2014-02-23 04:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Didn't the fascists in Italy adopt the fasces as one of their symbols in like 1924 though?

(Anonymous) 2014-02-23 03:53 pm (UTC)(link)

They are really vulnerable if they need to fight without armors :(

(Anonymous) 2014-02-23 04:00 pm (UTC)(link)
but if they fight with armors the armors will only impede their best weapon: their hunky beefcake manchests
