Im gonna assume this is about the 2p design thing I mentioned last night because otherwise you WILL get a 10 page essay of all the 2ps I have right now and their individual bios and we will be here all day.
But something I think is interesting is a lot of the assumptions that were made on the 2p nyo designs that got transferred to the fanon 2p designs in hindsight of the early 2010s.
I was there but want very active but I got bits and pieces and looking back at the art in hindsight it's kinda wild. Like 2p Prussia is a super big stand out. One of his big things and because of her, 2p Nyo Prussia is that many people draw them with a metal prosthetic arm and many are hc'd to have lost an arm. Or at least it was a very common appearance.
But if you look on the art of the design, it's not a prosthetic, it's just armor. She's just wearing armor on her arms and legs (but not on her torso, which is silly but that's just hima being hima). And idk I just think that's interesting???
Like Im not heta-historian I don't know who first did the prosthetic read on 2p nyo/2p Prussia, but isn't it crazy how it just caught on and spread like a wild fire to where Ive had people who just thought it was canon until they looked at the design a little more, I know teen me didn't notice until way way later since I never used the nyos in anything.
And I think overall with how fanon 2ps were portrayed, and how they spread was super interesting, for better or worse (we all have like come to grips that a lot of the early fanon 2ps were racist right? yeah okay just wanted to be sure). Its just super interesting to me.
It makes me think about like- what that we make now will impact people so much that it will ripple through this fandom 5+ years from now? Like will the headcanons I make or the ones my friends write be so influential they'll just be accepted fanon a decade from now? Its just cool to think about, that the little doodles and scribbles you make will have such an impact.
Yes, I thought of this from just thinking about how canonly 2p nyo prussia doesnt have a prosthetic arm and the fact that one person either mistook it or read it that way and it just rippled through the whole fandom to the point where it was just the accepted 2p fanon even to this day in some circles and how wild I thought that was, thank you for asking.
