I loved your SuFin headcanons! Honestly, I don’t know if this is a weird thing to point out, but you’re one of the few creators who really nails the balance between Sweden and Finland. I’ve never been a fan of the whole "housewife Finland" trope (and flipping it so Sweden’s the housewife doesn’t feel any better). But the way you write them feels like a real, realistic gay couple. And I seriously appreciate that 💙

I don't really know what to sayy, thank you, happy you see it like that

I don't know if I am the only one who ship this but Norway x nyo!Ireland👀 (so much potential!😩 especially in a historical context...) n that's probably the only *girl* nation I ship him with. I always joke about Norway being biromantic but only for men and nyo Ireland😭💀

I can totally get behind it, anon! It would make a lot of sense! And I'm sure you're not the only one shipping it. But unfortunately, I have grown fond of Scotland/Norway and Denmark/(Nyo)Ireland. There's something about Denmark obsessing over every red-haired girl he meets that just makes too much sense. Of course he'd be into the red-haired ones

NorFin?

I love NorFin! They'd be the chillest Nordic x Nordic couple for sure. But unfortunately I just prefer other Norway ships way more.. Maybe they had a quick fling in the past but it never went anywhere?

[nordickies]

Any other rare pairs you enjoy? :)

Denmark/Ireland, Denmark/Estonia, Denmark/Italy, Sweden/France, Sweden/Greece, Norway/England, Norway/Romania(+Bulgaria), Norway/New Zealand... Norway is a bit of a difficult one because I just think people have one sided crushes on him and he doesn't care, so what counts as shipping ig

What do you think of denmark/italy?

I love DenIta! <3 They're fun, but I just know Italy is suffering with a Danish guy. The weather, the food, the punctuality...

Omg do you have any NedDen headcannons??

Way too often they go out and try to hook up with strangers, but they rarely succeed, and end up going home with each other instead

Ned insists he's not looking for anything serious. Yet the moment Den starts seeing someone else, Ned gets irrationally jealous - despite the fact that Ned himself has casual flings scattered across multiple continents

Den can't stand the food at Ned’s place and frequently offers to cook instead. Ned mocks him for playing house

Their favorite pastime is arguing over whose beer is better and which football team reigns supreme

Den’s attempts to quit smoking always fall apart whenever he stays at Ned’s

When Den hits a low point or feels especially alone, he usually ends up on Ned's doorstep, knowing exactly where he’ll find the comfort he won’t ask for out loud

Even though they're close friends, they still occasionally fight. Sometimes these fights result in them taking breaks from one another. Though their worst arguments usually end with them in bed

In a professional setting, Ned stays focused, giving overtly-friendly-Den the cold shoulder. Work comes first, and nothing, not even Den, is allowed to interfere. Though Den certainly sometimes tries

They don't talk about what their friendship has turned into, because neither one knows how to talk about it. And mentioning it would somehow make it real. They just trust that they share mutual boundaries and decide to ignore it

They have managed to keep their questionable friendship under their peers radar. And their closest friends know not to ask more about it, because all they’ll get is a shrug and a flat, “We’re just friends,” from both of them

c-can I ask how was the first kiss between DK and NL?

Sloppy, unprompted and insanely hot

You open to parole sharing their own headcanons about the nordics?

I can share your headcanons, if I agree with the take or have something to add to it! I created this blog back in the day to explore an alternative way to portray the Nordic 5. So this blog is kind of personal, manifestation of my ideas, interests, and thoughts, and they have kind of taken a life of their own. Sharing other people's headcanons wouldn't just fit in right, if that makes sense

But, I encourage more people to do what I did! Make your own side blogs, share your own interpretations or writings. Me, and many others, would really enjoy them <3 And I think we need more voices and perspectives in this fandom! Just because I see things one way, doesn't mean they can't be explored another

Did you know that Finland and Sweden have a athletics competition called Finnkampen in Sweden, or Ruotsi-ottelu in Finland? It’s an annual event where the national athletics teams of both countries compete in a full program of men’s and women’s track and field events. The competition alternates its location each year between Stockholm and Helsinki. The competition began in 1925 and celebrated its 100th anniversary this year, with the final taking place this Sunday in Stockholm.

Unlike in other international athletics competitions, Finnkampen/Ruotsi-ottelu is not about individual medals, but team scores, with points awarded based on placements in each event. The Finnish men's team holds the most medals (47), followed by Sweden's women's team (43), Sweden's men's team (37) and Finnish women's team (26). In total Finland has 73 medals and Sweden has 80 medals.

In my head, Norway, Danmark, and Sweden are brothers (or cousins) who, more or less, grew up together. What would shenanigans between them look like when they are young vs now? It would be hilarious to imagine Sweden taking Denmarks kneecaps whenever he got fed up as grown adults and turn around and read books and drink coffee with Nor.

I definitely view the Scandis as familial as well.

I think that Sweden and Norway have always been in closer proximity to one other, so growing-up they spent more time together. They built a special, perhaps more equal, bond as a result. Meanwhile, I think Denmark was a bit older, daring to travel before the others did. Perhaps that made him develop a different attitude toward Nor and Swe, where he saw himself as an older and more responsible figure, a natural head of the family in his own eyes. Anyway, I think the young Scandis would fight and squabble a lot. Whether it was a petty argument, or a game that got out of hand, there was always someone hurt or crying by the end of it. Their games were dangerous, competitive, and high-stakes. I think they would constantly dare each other out of need to impress, and mock if someone didn't comply (toxic boyhood, yay).

Nowadays, they're older, and perhaps mentally more mature. Their "squabbles" are nothing but playful arguments or petty name-calling nowadays. I don't think they have physically fought in ages, even if they like to pretend so. I think personality wise, Swe and Nor still get along better. They’re both more laid-back, quiet, and calm, able to enjoy each other’s company without the need for constant conversation. Just sitting together, maybe sipping on a drink in silence. Den though, still doesn't quite know how to settle down (or shut up). He's always been the wild card, the one whose energy could disrupt the peace, but over time, even he has definitely mellowed out. He enjoys his family dinner nights, or just simply staying in to play board games. In the Scandi trio, I think it's still Swe and Den that spark up an argument the most often - especially when they have to work together. It could be something as simple as cooking or building something together, but it always ends in name calling. Both of them think the other is doing it wrong, and neither of them has much patience for the other's approach.

How does Sweden think of Poland in the present day?

(especially considering their past relationships if you're also into Northern history)

I can’t help but be entertained by the ongoing tension between Sweden and Poland today, even if there’s no real reason for them to still be on bad terms. But I think Feliks, especially, could hold a grudge forever—he has plenty of historical reasons to be mad at the Swedes. He and Swe just don’t get along. And beyond their past, their personalities would clash so badly. Swe would probably find Feliks way too fiery, dramatic, foul-mouthed, and judgmental... just annoying, too much for him. On the other hand, Feliks would probably think Swe is fake, cold, and pretentious, representing basically everything he doesn’t like or believe in. And to be honest, Feliks would definitely be familiar with Swe's darker side and be frustrated that no one else seems to hold him accountable for it

Diplomacy is diplomacy, but outside of work, I doubt they want to spend time together. At most they share judgmental stares and spread petty comments or gossips about one another

I made this fanart of your oc Åland for you I hope you like it this was my first time drawing fan art of one of your characters

AAAA, oh my GOD!! Vida, I could be literally jumping and shaking right now, this is absolutely stunning! You captured her so beautifully, all the details are there! I’m in awe. I wasn’t expecting this at all, and I’m honestly speechless. Thank you so so so much! <333

«Fin is aware of this, and trying to make the experience even slightly more bearable. He always brings an extra battery for the headphones, carries water with him at all times, and lets Swe take the more comfortable seat. Fin always makes sure they sit next to each other (or at least with the other Nordics). If nothing else is working, he tries to reassure Swe by quietly holding his hand and rubbing his palms»

meanwhile Norway sitting next to Sweden: hey did you hear about this plane that crashed not to long ago

Sweden: *stressing*

I wanted to mention this but didn't find it appropriate lmao. Of course it's Norway

What's your favorite headcanon about Denmark?

Oh my god, a favorite? I can't choose. I have so many... But my favorite thing about Den is his specific energy. He can be strict or chill, serious or playful. Mature or youthful, maybe a bit of a manchild. Dumb or incredibly wise, depending on the context ofc. But he has weird magnetic charisma and a genuine, contagious enthusiasm for everything that he does. He tries to be the best possible version of himself but more often than not his methods aren't flawless. I think he has a lot of baggage from his past, having gone through more external than internal troubles, which makes him interesting. He can be surrounded with people yet feel so alone in his experiences. I think he's a fascinating balance to work with...

[nordickies]

I don’t gaf about what Denmark wants he better make Iceland smile fast or I’m jumping him

Den overcompensating for his past behaviour, acting like an overbearing brother/uncle/dad/whatever, which drives Iceland crazy. He just wants nothing to do with Denmark. But on the other hand, Icey secretly craves it because he didn't received that kind of love or attention growing up, and Den is the only one making an effort..

[nordickies]

your chess Iceland and denmark just makes me think about the scandinavian trio, the bond that truly really mattered to denmark the most. don't get me wrong, I do think he cares about Iceland, a lot. But, in Denmarks head I think what he really wanted from the union was for the three of them to stick together...forever.

Mmm...Scandinavian trio🇩🇰🇳🇴🇸🇪 the drama that you are.…

Thank you!! I intentionally kept that piece vague to leave room for everyone's own interpretation for what had happened. This is a good take on it <3
