England headcanons (pt. 1):
Chain-smokes like a motherfucker. Alfred, who doesn't smoke and pretends very hard to think smoking is disgusting, hasn't yet realised where his secret smoking kink comes from.
Currently works for British Intelligence/has infiltrated his own government.
Carries around either a cane or umbrella that hides a sword even though he has never ONCE had to use it. He just feels more comfortable having a sword. (He does also carry around a gun, which, in contrast, has been used often.)
Also carries around his own pen, and absolutely loathes the thought of using someone else's. The pen is a first edition Michel Perchin Serpent in Champagne LE Fountain Pen given to him by Alfred - only ten were ever made and it cost a cool 8k. While Arthur has more valuable things - especially from his time as a pirate and back when he personally knew his royal family - the pen is still one of his most prized possessions.
His favourite tea is actually French Earl Grey - which is Earl Grey with rose petals. Not actually French? But Arthur's still pretty annoyed about it.
As mentioned in a few of my other posts - Arthur is incredibly physical and has kept up with sword fighting and various martial arts over the years, and regularly goes to the gym. He's very disciplined about it.
Tends to eat only for fuel as opposed to enjoyment whenever he's left to his own devices.
If pressed, Arthur will admit his best friend is Francis. Francis would say the same about Arthur.
(Despite their individual body counts, Francis and Arthur have never slept with each other.)
(Arthur doesn't have a lot of friends and has a strained relationship with his siblings, and has always felt that people don't like spending time with him. Even when he was on top of the world, working with his government to become an Empire, he still felt like an underdog.)
On that note, Arthur worked with his government longer than the other Nations, and was a huge part of establishing the British Empire. It made his already fraught relationship with his siblings even worse, and he regrets a lot of it.
Nations get scars very rarely, because very few things have the ability to give them scars - magical weapons is one of those things. Out of all the Nations, England has the most scars.
England is amazing at knitting and crochet, and he gifts Francis crocheted figurines from French cartoons for his birthday every year, which Francis adores. He also knits Canada scarves and gloves and beanies whenever he remembers him.
One of Arthur's most embarrassing memories is getting gonorrhea during his pirate days. He didn't have sex for a month after his healing kicked in - a record back then - and he became a lot more diligent in procuring and using the linen sheaths they used as condoms at the time.
Three of Arthur's back molars are implants made of real gold.
Alfred is the first (and last) person Arthur will say he's ever fallen in love with BUT the closest he's come is with another American - a nurse that took care of him during World War I. She was blonde and blue eyed and once shouted Arthur down when he insisted on continuing to fight even with a bullet lodged in his shoulder. She completely disappeared in April 1917, just before the Americans officially joined the war. He sometimes wonders what happened to her.

"I'll take my whiskey neat"
Hetalia...gangsta...au
Is growing on me, I didn't know if I liked it at first but...well-
When I started to sketch his design it was only supposed to be a sketch not full rendered drawing..
But hey at least I learned how to render properly.
Also the New Hozier song did things to me and one line inspired me.

Ever since Prussia met Austria, he has never been attracted to anyone else - even before he knew that what he felt towards Austria was attraction.
It's what made him the ideal candidate to train America during the revolution - unlike all the other nations, he was completely uninterested in America's amber waves of grain or his eyes of beautiful spacious skies. He wanted to fuck England over and that was that.
(Inadvertently, he also teaches America to want a love that doesn't come naturally to nations - something permanent and pure and completely outside of what they can do for their lands and people. Something completely theirs.)
