The worldbuilding you've done is so amazing, I love it and I love this blog, pretty sure I spent an hour scrolling through it! Do you mind if people use it for fanfics (like calling them Devai and how they're born and such)?
Hey there! I'm sorry it took so long for me to get to this ask, life's been pretty crazy on and off as of late ^^;
But yes! As long as I'm properly credited for it, I totally don't mind people using my lore as a background for their fic! I'm super flattered that you like the world building enough to want to write for it. If you have any other lore questions that you can't find the answer to on this blog, feel free to ask and I'll try to get to it as soon as I can!
And if you post the fic anywhere, please send me a link, I'd love to give it a read!! :D

made it with 5 minutes to spare 馃懝 i didn't get to tie down the end as much as i would have liked but i'm still pretty happy with what i managed to do with this little animatic! in my hc, gilbert's memories get all sorts of messed up after the fall of the berlin wall and i've always wanted to do something to this song based on that whole idea. hope y'all enjoy!! once again, the cover i used is by the lovely Dovguardian Voice on youtube!

"Training was rough and my mentors were not always the kindest. It mattered little to them that their student looked to be no more than six or seven years old - After all, it's not as though I could get permanently injured or die. God was calling one of His Holy Children to fight and it was their job to ascertain that I was ready to play the part. Eventually, I became good enough to rival Sanson's swordsmanship. I felt so proud of myself then. Papa did what he could to soften the blow, so to speak... At least until he met his end. Bandaging bruised knuckles and cleaning even the most trivial of wounds even when he knew they'd heal within the hour... It was a comfort to us both, I suppose."
thank you @ana-pt for the ask!!

recently been consumed with the idea that the crux of most of gilbert's problems is that he's an immortal who never fully accepted the fact that he's immortal and he tends to approach things, especially personal issues, from a human perspective for better and for worse and this has absolutely fucked him up and is now also fucking his son up because ludwig is not and will never ever be a human child despite his father's best efforts to raise him as one in this essay i will-
#not an ask#y'all im so sorry for the updates being sporadic#im fighting my inabilty to focus#im stockholmed to the gruelling schedule of ani school help#but yes this has been a thought that's been eating at me#gilbert is so determined to raise ludwig as 'normally' as possible#because he himself was robbed of normalcy as a child#in a way he's kinda trying to live vicariously through his son#which is sad and not exactly healthy for either of them#his boy is not human!!! and he refuses to see that!!!#gilbert has a lot of resentment built around being immortal and he's projecting it so hard onto his children#lud especially because he was so young when he came into his care#unlike sztefa who was older

"In general I have a huge liking for fish and other seafood, having lived a big part of my life near the sea. But I've also taken a liking to dishes local to Berlin and Brandenburg since moving here! The entire family looks forward the the annual asparagus harvest every year, it's an annual highlight, that's for sure!"
additional hc: beer is the lightest of gilbert's favorite drinks, he prefers sipping on something stronger like a brandy or a cognac. he'll indulge in wine, preferring reds to whites!

"But above all, I chose to be a doctor simply because I enjoy helping others. There's no better feeling in the world than knowing that you helped to save someone's life and witnessing the sheer resilience of humankind first hand,"

"To summarize, Devai can either be born immortal or they can be turned. Those who are turned require the help of a Mentor to help them adjust to their new life otherwise they become what my people call an Orphan. Speaking from experience, it's something you'd be wise to avoid.
There is... One other way to create a devas, but such a practice is considered taboo among our kind. It's probably best we leave that topic be for now,"
#answered#ask19thcenturydoctorgilbert#[ meta ]#hws prussia#aph prussia#gilbert beilschmidt#hetalia#there is a slight retcon to how fullborn devai exist compared to an earlier post i made#because im gnawing on the idea of immortal devai just existing but free from being bound to humans

Hi!!! I'm not sure how old your blog is, but I've stumbled across it now! I was just reading some of your stuff and I wanted to know: Is 'Devai" the term you're using for the Nation-people? I never know what to call them myself, like how would humans refer to them as, do they know they are their country people, and what not. If Yes, how did you come up with the term 'Devai'? :0
Hello!!
Yes, 'Devai' is the term that I use for nations in my headcanon! It's based on the word 'Diwata'. In pre-colonial filipino tradition, the Diwata are nature spirits who protect the land and sometimes the people who reside within their land too. I thought that it was appropriate, given what nations are supposed to represent!
Devai (or Devas, singular) is how they refer to each other within the Devai community. Humans have come up with different names for them across the centuries. "Nation" is a relatively recent name for them, which I like to think started to be coined by the masses in the 19th century, particularly in Europe.
As for whether people know them or not, I think that varies greatly depending on the culture and the devas in question themselves. There are Devai who are bonded to communities who are 100% aware of who they are and what they represent. There are some whose identities, by choice or otherwise, are on a strict need-to-know basis. Devai can blend into society easily as they don't appear different from the average human. Really, the only way you'd be able to tell that there's more to them than they seem is if you 1) saw them in a fight, 2) spend a prolonged amount of time around them.
Hope that answered your question!! ^^
#[ meta ]#answered#not an ask#thanks for this!#a lot of my own worldbuilding has roots in old filipino myths and traditions that i grew up with#i think in philippine provinces their local devai would be called diwata#tempermental forest spirits my grandma would warn me about lmao
