Hetalia, but add Onion headlines.

[fanficfish]

can we all jsut stop to consider that Prussia basically guilttripped the brothers Grimm into writing slightly more child-friendly stories because he couldn't read such vulgar material to the dying Holy Roman Empire- like pop off king-

like can you imagine if you woke up one day and a literal country told you he didn't approve of your writing

Germany discovers child marriage

[ask19thcentury-doctorgilbert]

"On the rare occasion that they do, those children who survive the birth often grow up susceptible to all sorts of illnesses; as was the case with young Karl. Ironically, the killing blow France dealt ended up being the child's saving grace -- Strange how that works, isn't it? In any case, Ludwig's health has improved a lot as he grew older. He's as healthy as one can be and I am grateful for that every day."

More new lore notes down below!

Nation is the word humans came to call them, but among their kind, they are referred to as Devai ( Devas, singular. )

Ludwig was born as Karl the Younger, the son of Karl the Elder (HRE) and his wife Mathilde (Nuremberg). Karl made his wife immortal by turning her into an Anathema, but they had great difficulty conceiving. It took centuries before they finally had little Karl, who Mathilde doted on despite the fact that the boy was very frail. Mathilde also never properly adjusted to life as an immortal, which has severely impacted her mental and emotional health.

Gilbert played an active role in caring for young Karl and the two shared a close bond. While the bulk of the boy's care still fell to the appointed devai physicians, he started to be a lot more involved after Frederick's death in 1786. Caring for the kid became a welcome distraction from his grief, but that meant that his death proved to be yet another brutal blow.

Gilbert is also very close to Mathilde, who he's known since his days as a crusader and looked up to her as a sort of mother figure in his youth.

Cinematic parallels

[immuchobligedtoyou]

In ch 481, after France was ranting that he misses constantly battling England, Germany points out that he & France used to battle a lot too, but the examples Germany lists are specifically of times when the HRE battled France. This means that Germany sees the HRE as himself, at least to a certain extent 👀

An old queen

[renaissancefailmarriage]

extremely funny running gag that just occurred to me is HRE constantly forgetting gilbert's name. look he has a lot of squabbling idiots to manage and prussia isnt even PART of the empire, technically, thats dear brandenburg's jurisdiction to take care of gniesbert or georg or friedbert or whatever his name is,

[ladybrainrot]

can I request german bros? (with baby germany ofc🤍)

He was just a child himself, with the weight of the world on his shoulders
