Here to brag about their accomplishments

Prussia keeps the beat with his foot while Germany feels mostly inadequate

Gilbert is thinking to himself that this wouldn’t have happened to his East German team!!!!!

I forgot that I never actually posted the final illustration to We reap what we sow!
Which is a shame because it’s among my favorites ;o;

Bonjour everyone, it’s time for my claim for @aphabriefhistoryoftime! My claim was the German revolution 1848/1849, and instead of focusing solely on the bloodshed that came with it, I wanted to portray Prussia’s personal struggle some more and the hopes projected on him – which he would go on to not just disappoint but crush. So slightly more “abstract” approach that I took here.

The historic background is that in 1848, many German states had their own revolutions, including Prussia, in which the German people demanded a unified Germany. Chiefly among them was Baden which held out the longest with democratic demands alongside the national ones, but others were quite accepting of constitutional monarchy and looked towards Prussia as the leading force of this ‘Germany’. And for a moment it looked as though it could work–

but Prussia went back on concessions made towards its population and brutally beat back revolutions. Baden had to surrender in order to prevent a massacre at the hands of the Prussian military.

Baden’s design (the lady holding back Ludwig) is by @ask-baden, thank you so much as always for letting me use her design for this!
