So... friend of a person who draws here. I was asking her to draw me some APH stuff for my birthday, and I was thinking about what I was asking for and it me wonder - why aren't there more... erm... for lack of better word, "historically relavent " pictures?
Not necessarily characters in historical garb, but stuff like events? Or things relavent today? (The Alfred + the twin towers comes to mind) Or just countries relations or how they treated each other during the war? I know there's a bit of it (US/Japan 'comfort' pics come to mind) but I find myself searching for things that just don't appear to be there. One of the things I'm asking her to do references the Holocaust vaguely which is obviously an incredibly serious subject, but it's always weirded me out that it's a big part of that history (at least with certain countries) but has never gotten mentioned. Plus other serious subjets... I don't expect the *actual* manga to reference anything insanely serious, I guess, but the lack of art referencing more serious subjects is --- I'm sorry I ramble a lot, it's not really SURPRISING I guess, considering the light nature of APH, but it's disappointing in a way that I see APH as an interesting way of portraying history.
Uhh I'm sorry for the huge ramble and lack of picture, I don't have any new content to post. I was going to post this on the LJ comm but it's really intimidating there.
Thoughts? Agree? Disagree? Shut up you rambly girl and let us post our pictures?
