Sometimes I Wonder Why People Find Spa Mano So Amusing, Not Only Spain Literally Raised Romano As A Kid

They are so in love

Quick sketch of Frankenstein AU PruMano because I love them, was up until 6am last night just going wild with the details lol this was meant to be as simple as that one little sketch I did of them leaning on each other in the sunset. Needless to say it ended up being far more complex. Improvement I guess??? Anyway PLEASE READ MY FANFIC UNTIL DEATH BINDS US BY PRUMANO ON AO3 PLEASE YOU WANT TO READ IT SOOOO BAD

Oh, great Edel (idk what I should call you) please spare us your wisdom

HAHA WHAT—

literally it‘s Eligh/Eli although whatever great Edel will do too

also what wisdom this is literally me

although the overthinker in me is thinking they‘re being sarcastic. who knows

thoughts on lietpru (especially grunwald)?

to be fair, as a ship, it’s ✨not my cup of tea✨ and I‘m not having a go at you if you‘re shipping it, for all I care, it‘s just it‘s not on my long and nuanced list of either Prussia or Lithuania ships I enjoy.

And the easy shortcut route would be to say that I can‘t view it as not toxic, literally ever since the Teutonic Knights arrived to the region and up until the damn 20th century.

✨off topic but in Ukraine we have a a dishwashing liquid named Grünwald I shit you not that is what its called. I don‘t know why.✨

Ok, ok, I know you meant the battle. yeah that‘s exactly what Ruthenians alongside Lithuanians fought the Teutons for in 1410. Sorry I‘m getting silly again

um. hear me out-

I was reading some things, and then this guy randomly spawned in my head. Throwing him at you and running away😼

My guy used to personify the Margraviate of Brandenburg, then post-1815-ish, the province of Brandenburg, and these days a Bundesland in Germany by the same name. His relationship with Gilbert is – um – complicated. Inherriting an unruly polish fief dutchy was one thing, but actually dealing with him turned out to be a whole other. But Prussia learnt to use the situation to his advantage. After some time. Eventually.

The name’s Johann Friedrich (von Beilschmidt); I doubt it would make sense to make him and Gilbert directly related, but they‘ve been using the same family name ever since the personal union; at least on paper.

— That quote that kind of sums up his personality was taken from “The Iron Kingdom” by Christopher Clark, where it was also quoted by the author; I haven’t read the original work by Valentin, unfortunately

Feliciano for @mattivalentina as my part to the art trade 🗣️🗣️🗣️ x THIS SONG BECAUSE HIM

…or rather this SLSKSKJSJ

man I wish there’s canon Ukraine development that makes her much independent

I do love the headcanons please keep on coming

I'd rather see Ukrainian fans write her than hima's attempts, he doesn't seem very interested or passionate about developing his characters besides the main 8

The only instance of Ukraine being Ukrainian in hetalia I've seen is the chibi artwork where she has the painted pysanka eggs next to her

I make edits with official art for fun where she's Ukrainian though :D

belarus in your own style?? ⬜🟥⬜👀

There you go anon, and sorry - it was supposed to be a NORMAL drawing but I got carried away a bit with the idea. I‘ll draw her normally at some point🙏🏼

”What‘s the matter, Belarus? You look a bit …broken“

This was the inspo btw (+ something else, her clothes is inspired by a particular portrait of a particular Belaruthian, if you reckognised which one, consider me impressed and well done on your Belaruthian history)

MAGMA COLLAB WITH @yummyseadas 🫨

HAHA ME WHEN I SAW THIS. At first I was like…ahaha, ukrire, as a joke…but bro…bro I like what I’m seeing🌹

i approve of this rarepair! very cute ദ്ദി(•̀ ᗜ <)

Nah being fr i think that the fandom seeing independance days as birthdays for very many nations is straight up insulting and a very very american idea. It's the same kind of thinking that gives to those "omg i am older than the countey of serbia" memes.

Like okkkkaaayyy, maybe it makes sence in USA to conceptualise yourself as the folkpeople becoming 'Muricans rather than a brittish colony on the independance day, but in Europe and Asia and Africa these people, a continous line of an ethnicity, the idea of " deutch" or "latgalīši" or "the people who live in the carpathian basin" existed before becoming a conquered imperial land. I get it why for America (or Canada, Australia, etc) this works, but it is not the way things are elsewhere. It is americanocentric.

Its very offputting and invalidates history in such an insidious way. In the case of the baltics +Belarus + especially at this time Ukraine, to celebrate their 1991 independance days as birthdays is playing into russian propaganda that our histories only begin then, and that everything before it is unorganised and primitive, that russians gave us cultures etc etc etc (you can look it up, im not going to dwelve into long detail here). It is an insult to centuries of past, centuries of culture, national identity (be it under diffrent names- Wallachia, Ruthenia, Livonia, so on), and our sovereignity.

I'm not saying we dont celebrate independance days, like we even have two of them (both from russians); they should be memorated. Im not saying hetaliafandom cant have events and weeks n stuff put on these dates. But not as birthdays, I beg. And I do get the headcanons and interpretations, but I ask you to see why it alienates and makes uncomfortable the people *from* these places.

In the case of Lithuania you can choose february 14 1009 when it was first mentioned with the name, or july 6 1253 when the first king was crowned. For Latvia you could use the date of 1204 when the first city of Riege(Rīga) was established by german crusaders, but i dont use a birthday, since there is no concrete date in the 11th century when Latgale was first described by name (up to a hubdred years earlier, so i usually put him besides Lithuania...) For Ukaine you can use the establishing of the Kyivan Rus, for Belarus aswell the first named instances of Ruthenia, so on and so on. There are many important days these characters could assume in the place of a human birthday, and I hope you understand none would use the earliest independances.. There is aswell nothing wrong with them not having set birthdays or ages - like damn, it gets complex and nuanced! They can just hold memorations like everyone else in the country does, with plausible deniability were they there or not. You people are constantly creative with this fandom, this cant possibly be a problem.

There is old and known history to these characters' countries, what to talk about all others whove declared independances from china, russia, england, france, austro-hungary... You do not have to default to the youngest independance dates. I beg you to do better, for your own sake- if i see one more "happy birthday Lithuania" on the 11th made by americans im gonna tear their heads off 🥹💓
