Ivan Braginsky from Hetalia absolutely has scary dog privilege and his sisters 1000% use that to their advantage in modern times when even the youngest of the family isn’t scary enough to detour unwanted attention.

The other nations, especially Alfred, think it’s funny because this man doesn’t normally touch Alt fashion all that much and is only visually intimidating because of his height on a good day.

Mans deadass is a somewhat baby faced, 6 foot 10 inch tall, “built like a brick shit house” muscular man who’s got cannon combat/war time experience but the fashion sense of what can be best described as “Pastel Househusband/Babushka”. Ivan “I knit cute sweaters for fun” Braginsky has mastered the hidden art of controlling a resting bitch face because he’s known his baby sister her whole life and just happened to pick it up at some point in their childhood.

(Ivan also uses it to his advantage when people are just too loud an annoying for this taste that day….*cough*Alfred*cough*…)

Poland: Is this about me?

Lithuania: no.

Poland: Then I've lost interest.

Alas I am alive

“Love in popculture times” - by me lol, this is that one lietpol drawing I was talking about

Zoom in I swear it's not as crunchy as it looks lmao

Ok so, the main reason this drawing even came to being was only because I was listening to this exact same song on repeat for hours and scrolling through Pinterest until I found a reference I liked and therefore decided that I wanted to draw Tolys and Feliks like this. That’s basically it.

Now you COULD put some symbolism in there that ties back into the lyrics and into the AU itself — that I thought of for like 10 seconds and promptly forgot about. The basic premise is the hetalia characters but in a polish high-school setting bc honestly why not. I like to play with characters like dolls lmao.

But yeah, the first few lines of the song talk about an unhappy breakup, and can you guess what I connected that to??? Why of course — the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and how it later fell apart blah blah blah. Tying that into the drawing itself you could interpret that as Feliks and Tolys being together for a while and then breaking up. Later on I think they are in like a constant situationship-ish situation that neither of them can really fully navigate or grasp because what the fuck is going on being a teen in a shitty high school is hard okay. They’re still friends and close tho, obviously.

Ok that’s enough of my insane rambling bye I’m going to bed

love thinking about the nordics & how they communicate <3 u know for a FACT that denmark & sweden only speak their own language to each other out of spite. norway isn't a petty child like the rest of them, so he switches between norwegian, danish & swedish just fine! denmark speaks to him in norwegian to butter him up. iceland uses danish the most, he's a bit insecure about speaking his language in front of the others, even if most of them would understand it. norway speaks icelandic the best, and he uses it whenever he wants to get iceland to do something for him (it works 50% of the time).

sometimes when they get really excited or heated they slip into old norse without anyone realizing, and finland is just kinda there bashing his head against the wall,,, his go-to for communicating with the others is swedish. sweden only got better at finnish recently and he speaks it with the heaviest most awkward accent but it's endearing :) i love this dysfunctional family

Мая дочка у садочку Ружу, ружу полiць, pужу, ружу полiць, Белы ручкi колiць. Кветачкi рвець, кветачкi рвець, Вяночкi звiвае, вяночкi звiвае, Слёзкi пралiвае.

My girl is in the garden, Plucking the roses, plucking the roses, Piercing her white hands. Plucking, plucking the flowers, Weaving wreaths, weaving wreaths, Shedding her tears.

Kupalinka - a Belarusian folk song composed by Uladzimier Teraŭski that is popular during Kupala Night and the 2020-21 Belarusian protests

Voice of Belarus wrote that the song became "the national personification of Belarus as a country with a beautiful and sad woman’s face."
