Quite sad that I’ve seen multiple people make ai covers with hetalia characters singing certain songs and yet no one has made denmark & Sweden sing drømmer jeg together.

SuDen if you dont mind

I think it's just a personal headcanon of mine at this point that Denmark suffers from anxiety. 🤷

Also I am so so so sorry that this took so long. I am terrible.

It’s one of those nights when Mathias is working late but Björn has been home for a few hours, getting the last of the chores done so that Mathias doesn’t have to worry about it. It doesn’t happen very often anymore, not since he’d switched jobs, that he works late. But Björn is always happy to help out when these nights do occur. Especially since it’s been one hell of a week for Mathias and his anxiety. Despite all of Björn’s efforts to help him and get him to bed at a decent time, Mathias’s work schedule has really made it hard for him and, if he was honest, he does know that no amount of structure and comfort will ebb his anxiety entirely. Luckily, however, it is the end of his work week, and Björn wants to make the next few days as calm and relaxing as possible. 

He’s just finished the dishes when Mathias gets in and kicks his shoes off by the door. He wanders into the kitchen and gives Björn one of his tired, lopsided smiles. “Why are you even still awake, never mind doing dishes?” he asks, though his tone suggests that he’s grateful. 

Björn shrugs awkwardly and answers, “Just wanted to make things a little easier… Have a little extra time for us…”

Mathias makes a face as he comes up to him and drapes his arms over his shoulders, resting their foreheads together. “I don’t deserve you,” he mutters affectionately and Björn scoffs quietly. “Let me go change. And then maybe dessert and that TV show we’ve been waiting to watch?”

“You haven’t even eaten dinner,” Björn reminds him, but he doesn’t really feel like pushing the issue. He’ll get a good meal in him at some point or another. Mathias laughs and disappears down the hall to change. He goes to the family room and settles down on the couch, turning on the TV to search for their show that they’d been talking about for something like a week now. He’s fine with this because this is what he’d been hoping for -- just quiet time to relax with his partner and not have to worry about anything in particular. 

Mathias gets them both some of the ice cream that they’d been hoarding and plops down beside Björn, passing him his bowl. “I really do appreciate you, you know…” he mutters, curling up next to him. Björn simply just makes a soft sound of acknowledgment, not really sure what to say. For some time, they simply sit and watch their show as they eat their ice cream and Björn feels nothing but lucky to have this moment with his partner. Out of the blue, however, Mathias asks, “Why do you love me?” And his voice sounds so small.

Björn takes a moment to consider his answer, struggling to put what he feels into words. He’s never been good with words, never been good at being able to express his feelings. There never seems to be the right words to describe emotions anyway, and so he doesn’t generally try to talk about them -- at least not like this, so straightforward. He scrunches his brow and carefully answers, “I don’t know exactly… Everything I could say sounds so shallow. How I like the way you look, and how comforting your voice is. And how ridiculous you can be, but how I can trust you enough that I can tell you anything. And how we have similar interests, and yet we can also argue about the things we have different opinions on." He pauses, staring intently at the TV. "It's just a…feeling, under everything, that I don't know how to describe…" 

Mathias is quiet for several minutes and Björn is afraid his answer isn't sufficient. But then he leans against him, turning awkwardly so that he can wrap his arms around his waist. "And all of that even when I'm a pain in the ass? Or having an anxiety attack?"

"Maybe more in those sorts of moments," Björn admits gently, shifting to drape an arm over him and kiss the top of his head. "I couldn't tell you why I love you, not really, but I do with so much of myself that it's like this insatiable itch inside me." 

Mathias makes a sort of hum, peering up at him and Björn doesn't think he looks particularly comfortable. "I adore you… I don't know what the universe saw that it thought I should be lucky enough to have you, but I love you and I don't know what I'd do without you."

Björn smiles softly at him, kissing his forehead. "Exactly my sentiments. Now please actually get comfortable -- staring at you makes my back hurt."

"Is that right?" Mathias purrs, his tone making Björn blush, turning his attention to the TV and making Mathias laugh as he moves to get more comfortable. 

He knows that Mathias is still having a hard time, and this weekend might still be a bit of a struggle, but Björn lives for these moments with him. When Mathias intertwines their fingers, laying his head in his lap, and makes a joke about the show they're watching. He can't put it all into words, but he thinks sitting here with him and just existing with him is as close to communicating what he feels as he can get. And he's perfectly okay with that.

Just once, before it's too late.

Summary: Mathias' love for Berwald is killing him, has been for so long, that he had learned how to live with the pain and forgotten about the lethality of the flowers growing in his lungs. Until one fatal night, that is.

With a dull thud Mathias slumped against the wall. His head hit the tiled wall of the bathroom hard, but the pain was hardly present, being just a little itch compared to how the rest of his body felt. He started to feel light-headed again and reached for the sink to his right. With every last bit of strength he could wring from his tortured self, he managed to stumble the few steps to the side and steadied himself.

Mathias’ grip onto the edge of the sink was hard enough to make his knuckles go white, a sick contrast to the red stains of the blood he had coughed up earlier on his hands. Compared to his feverish body temperature, the cold porcelain felt as cold as ice. It burned, but the pain on his skin was calming, almost grounding.

For a moment Mathias thought he would be okay, but then his body suddenly convulsed again.

The sharp pain that came with every heaving breath became nearly unbearable and Mathias closed his eyes. Focus. You can’t die now. Please. He was not sure who he sent his pleas to, but there had to be someone, something, out there who cared. Who might hear him. Who would end his suffering.

Süden (Christian Petzold, 1990)

[digital999placebo]

I want a horse, I want a sheep, I wanna get me a good night’s sleep.

4ever unfinished wip

[ifeelingteal]

All of a sudden I feel like suden is a good idea

Of course it is! It have a good historical and cultural preconditions to ship it. However, we should not forget that Sweden and Denmark fought with each other for quite a long time... When Sweden left the Kalmar union, Denmark was still trying to regain its neighbor, and in a very cruel way....

Denmark: Yo bro, U wanna to leave me so ill kill a citizens of your capital in the main square 💔💔💔💔

Sweden: What-

Denmark: love you bae ✨

Sweden:

* Translation: "i still need to quit this slavery"

...

Both Sweden and Denmark were “abusers” in relation to other countries (in the case of Sweden, this is relations with Finland; i think i draw something about this because its really interesting).

[keiksy-cake]

I've translated the part one of that one suden comic, however as it's "r-15" I decided to keep it only on pixiv where you need an account for 18+ access (tho there's nothing too graphic, I even censored it a bit bc I felt embarrassed lol)

Hetalia ships as songs from Taylor Swift’s Midnights

LAVENDER HAZE: PruHun

“I feel a lavender haze creeping up on me, so real, I’m damned if I do give a damn what people say. No deal, that 1950s shit they want from me. I just wanna stay in that lavender haze.”

A song about staying in a little love bubble despite what other people may say about you or your relationship. Dodging negative and/or weird opinions and you and your partner, and not caring because you are so in love. I just think lyrics like “you don’t really read into my melancholia” “no deal, that 1950s shit they want from me” and “they’re bringing up my history, but you aren’t even listening.” Just fit PruHun so well.

MAROON: SuDen

“The burgundy on my T-shirt when you splashed your wine into me, and how the blood rushed into my cheeks, so scarlet, it was the mark you saw on my collarbone, the rust that grew between telephones, the lips I used to call home, so scarlet, it was maroon.”

Obviously, I had to choose a Denmark ship for a song that references many different shades of red. A song about a relationships that was fun and joyful and exciting, that was destroyed from constant fighting. My personal take on the lyric “so scarlet, it was maroon” is that Taylor WANTS to remember the love as a bright red, happy, joyful and fun, but then she realised it was much darker than that. I just think this fits with SuDen so well considering how many wars they’ve had. Just the entire second verse, “when the silence came, we were shaking blind and hazy. How the hell did we lose sight of us again? Sobbin with your head in your hands, ain’t that the way shit always ends? You’re standing hallow-eyed in the hallway, carnations you had thought were roses, that’s us. I feel you no matter what, the rubies that I gave up.” Screams SuDen to me.

SNOW ON THE BEACH: EngNor

“And it was like snow on the beach; weird but fucking beautiful. Flying in a dream, stars by the pocketful, you wanting me. Tonight feels impossible, but it’s coming down, no sound, it’s all around like snow on the beach.”

What better ship for a song all about a love so pure and strange it feels magical than EngNor? Basically THE magic ship of hetalia. Especially considering the song starts out on a more pessimistic note with the first verse saying, “life is emotionally abusive, and time can’t stop me quite like you did, and my flight was awful, thanks for for asking. I’m unglued thanks to you.” I think it’s just very england. Not to even mention the line “this scene feels like what I once saw on a screen, I searched Aurora Borealis green.” This song was, quite frankly, just written for EngNor.

MIDNIGHT RAIN: DenNor

“He was sunshine, I was midnight rain. He wanted it comfortable, I wanted that pain. He wanted a bride, I was making my own name, chasing that fame. He stayed the same, all of me changed like midnight rain.”

Whilst I do not want to be dismissive of Norway’s need for independence, this song just fits DenNor too perfectly. A song about looking back on your past relationship and realising how good of a partner your ex was and missing them. The description of the ex being a sunshine, and having only positive words to say about them, and Norway being the midnight rain. I think DenNor will always be the best example of a sun and moon ship in hetalia, and this song perfectly embodies that trope.

QUESTION…?: ScotFra

“Can I ask you a question? Did you ever have someone kiss you in a crowded room and every single one of your friends were making fun of you but 15 seconds later they were clapping too? Then what did you do? Did you leave her house in the middle of the night? Did you wish you’d put up more a fight? When she said it was too much? Do you wish you could still touch …her? It’s just a question.”

I was, truth be told, not expecting this song to fit ScotFra the most. But, the more I looked at the lyrics, I realised this song is about someone asking an old fling if they miss them, despite that fling now being in a happy and comfortable relationship. As a result, it kinda gives me Auld Alliance vibes. Especially the part where Taylor sings, “we had one thing going on, I swear that it was something, because I don’t remember who I was before you painted all my nights a colour that I’ve searched for since, but one thing after another: lost in situations, circumstances, miscommunication…” 

LABYRINTH: ScotNor

“Uh oh, I’m falling in love. Oh no, I’m falling in love again. Oh, I’m falling in love. I thought the plane was going down, how’d you turn it right around?”'

A slept on ship for a slept on song, it’s just fitting really 😌 as ScotNor is my favourite ship, I knew it would make its way onto this list, and labyrinth is one of the two songs from this album in my ScotNor playlist. A song about the complexities of being in a relationship which is moving fast when you’re afraid of loving, and the feeling that the relationship can’t possibly last, but the person takes you by surprise and turns out to be exactly what you need. With the lyrics, “it only feels this raw right now, lost in the labyrinth of my mind. Break up, break free, break through, break down: you would break your back to make me break a smile.” Considering I headcanon Norway to be scared shitless of romance, and having a strong desire to run away the moment he falls in love. I think this is a sweet and fitting love song for his feelings about Scotland.

SWEET NOTHING: AmeLiet

“They said the end is coming, everyone’s up to something, I find myself running home to your sweet nothings. Outside they’re push and shoving, you’re in the kitchen humming, all that you ever wanted from me was sweet nothing.”

Whilst I’m not an avid shipper, I’ve always enjoyed just how pure and loving AmeLiet is presented in hetalia. Lithuania being America’s calm, and being patient enough to keep up. Sweet Nothing is another song about being caught up in such a pure love whilst everyone is pushing you and expecting things, and having your partner be patient and calm enough to reassure and comfort you through it. I have to be honest, though, the line “and the voices that implore ‘you should be doing more,’ to you I can admit that I’m just too soft for all of it.” Tell me that doesn’t perfectly suit america and his responsibility as a superpower? And having Lithuania there to help him cope??

MASTERMIND: NorBela

“What if I told you none of it was accidental and, the first night that you saw me, nothing was gonna stop me? I laid the groundwork and then, just like clockwork, the dominos cascaded in a line. What if I told you I’m a mastermind? And now you’re mine. It was all by design, cos I’m a mastermind.”

This one kills me, because anyone who knows me knows I don’t like norbela at all, but alas, this song suits them too well. Mastermind fits belarus perfectly, it’s about a woman stopping at nothing to get her partner, I know it fit her perfectly from the verse, “you see all the wisest women had to do it this way, cos we were born to be the pawn in every lovers game” and even, right before the final chorus, “no one wanted to play me with as a little kid, so I’ve been scheming like a criminal ever since, to make them love me and make it seem effortless (…) and I swear, I’m only cryptic and machiavellian cos I care” and with the plot twist revealed in the final verse, that she didn’t manipulate anyone, he saw what she was doing the entire time and thought it was cute. I hate it, but it just fits norbela perfectly.

THE GREAT WAR: FrUK

“To that bloodshed, crimson clover. Uh-huh, the worst was over, my hand was the one you reached for all throughout the Great War. Always remember, uh-huh we’re burned for better. I vowed I will always be yours, cos we survived the Great War.”

Ahh the one that inspired this entire post. I’ve always found this one quite weird with hetalia bc it quite literally ends up becoming about the Great War, but I personally take the world wars as the defining moments where France and England knew that through it all, they will always be there for one another and they do deeply care for one another. So, this song with FrUK just makes perfect sense.

PARIS: nyo! GerFra

Ahh, this one was always going to be a France ship, as it’s quite literally about being in love in Paris. But the song paris just give me more… woman vibes. Whilst I was thinking about different ships with nyo France, it hit me, the second verse is “privacy sign on the door, and on my page, and on the whole world. Romance is not dead, if you keep it just yours. Levitate above all the messes made, sit quiet by my side in the shade, and not the kind that’s thrown, I mean the kind under where a tree has grown.” And I think that respect for intimacy and privacy, really make it stand out that the other person is nyo Germany.

GLITCH: SuNor

“I think there’s been a glitch, oh yeah, 5 seconds later I’m fastening myself to you with a stitch, oh, yeah. I’m not even sorry, nights are so starry, blood moonlit. It must be counterfeit. I think there’s been a glitch.”

A song about a romance where there’s not suppose to be a romance. An accidental love that neither of them are complaining about. Which I, personally, thinks fits well with the idea that SuNor fell more in love with one another after their divorce. The first line is even “we were supposed to be just friends.” I also really think the “fastening myself to you with a stitch” line fits them really well too, as I imagine sunor to be a couple just are just always around one another. Neither of them are codependent on one another, they just like being around one another. Again, another unexpected one.
