#Frain

it is hard to express my feelings on this, but I can feel that Spain, no matter how hard it is, will (try to) ignore many France's sinful actions when they are in a relationship... but if it with England, it would be "don't you ever belittle me, if you do something wrong to me once, this whole relationship will be over"

[ellavei]

Somehow, I could hear France and Spain's voices saying:

"You two can hang out together if North Italy also lives with us"

😄💥😄💥😄💥

That part in hetamyu World is Wonderful where they sing about the barricades for Italy's unification, or alternatively,

N. Italy: wanna be independent?

S. Italy: sorry my parents said no

A fantasy AU me and a couple of friends are cooking up in which Gilbert is mistaken for an evil villain and PruMano becomes a thing through various shenanigans. FrUk is endgame but there may or may not be some Frain and TurFra going on. It's a mess.

He got chewed like a dog toy that night (Its like any other night but Antonio finally find out how can Francis tore his skin so easily)

These two perfumes would be interesting to include in fanfic about the relationship between France and Spain 😭

We all, as the history nerds we are (yes, I’m talking about me and you all dear readers), have thought about what did a moment in time long gone was like, what it looked like, what it sounded like, what was worn and where it happened. Well, someone went a step forward and asked himself what did a moment in a certain time and place smelt like. That man is Carlos Huber and he’s the founder of Arquiste, a perfume brand that create fragrances meticulously researched with historical sources to transport us to another time and place. Each fragrance has its own little story with historical setting and place; so you can find something inspired by and Aztec festival in the 15th century or a night in the Paris Opera in the late 19th century. Sounds awesome, don’t you think?

And it smells even better.

Here are two of my favourite fragrances by Arquiste, both inspired by the wedding of Louis XIV and the Infanta Maria Teresa, and since we’re in a 17th century mood, I thought this was the time to share this with you all (this sounds like a commercial but it is not, this perfumes are just so so SO good that I wish everyone knew about this brand). Imagine this:

It’s June 1660, you are at the Isle of Pheasants in the Basque region of the French-Spanish border. Spain was France’s political enemy, so this marriage would give a new balance of power in Europe. Both royal courts are in a pavilion built for this occasion of pine and cedar wood.

On the French side is a 22-year-old Louis XIV, dubbed the ‘sweetest smelling monarch’, he had a never ending love for orange blossom (he imported a thousand orange trees from Spain and made the largest orangerie) and even had his own fragrance called Acqua Angeli, there he is all starchy and elegantly dressed and totally missing the protocol he presented himself to catch a glimpse of his new bride. His fragrance, Fleur de Louis, has notes of orange blossom, Florentine iris, Jasmine, Rose and cedarwood.

On the Spanish side is the also 22-year-old Infanta Maria Teresa, the Spanish Princess represents the peace between the two nations, perfumed with orange flower water (a quite clean and innocent scent), the rouge smells of roses, the Spanish perfumed leather gloves and the scented fan are there while Louis lays his eyes on her for the first time. Her fragrance, Infanta en Flor, has notes of Orange flower water, Spanish leather, cistus resin and immortelle.

So, if you go to a store that carries this brand (here in Mexico you can only find it at El Palacio de Hierro Polanco), check it out and try one of their perfumes all are genderless, you’ll not be sorry (actually I wear Fleur de Louis, after a LONG time for deciding which one I liked better). Or you can simply go to their website and read about all their fragrances and scented candles (there’s one about a Japanese ship traveling from the New Spain, imagine what that smells like. Hint: strong and delicious.)

Continuing from previous Brain rot comic. Antonio being difficult, and Francis wants to rip his hair out

[bighugelargebig]

can spain lose pls

[kopifuran]

Im preparing all of you to one of self indulgent shit that im going to serve (NOT anytime soon)

[flapmemelord]

some hispania (spain) / gallia (france) content (right to left)

context explained below !!

i've been very interested in seeing them wearing togas (to match with rome grandpa.....) so i did it, and gave the thing some background ... although losing to ancient rome had its consequences, i think Hispania was quick to try and make acquaintainces with fellow territories who had fallen under the same banner as he did (quick to put himself back together, socializing to cope, in a way...) (although probably his people, were farrr from sharing that mindset and understandably so-).

gaulish was already spoken before the invasion so he and Gallia mostly used that language together (probably to spite ancient rome or some of his people), it was time that made them speak latin, also rome grandpa's influence rubbing on them through architecture, art, notably (although they're proud of that heritage now, i think back then, speaking latin felt like betrayal to their people, for a whole while at least). they've got the complicity of friends that are tight close for years and beyond, and despite what tries to tear them away work out the stuff they have to together - you know the kind you're not sure whether theyre not going to hook up eventually with this much chemistry (and you can tell they're not sure either)

(France calling Spain Ispania is a shot to my people who tend to forget h exist and do things for the pronounciation, i do it too )

(also this work is doing wonders for me... i might be building transfem france hcs.... transmasc france has potential too i am tHINKING IT THrough)

[ellavei]

this scene when France looking at Spain in Hetamyu haunts me

[renaissancefailmarriage]

wrt: spain/france i think its really funny that francois spent 2 full centuries trying to ruin antonio's marriage so that he could get with that perfect specimen of manhood and his fat ass, and then immediately got bored with him and went back to obsessing over his foulmouthed bilge rat (no ass) and also a poorly-socialized violent greyhound (also 0 ass)
