did rome ever see germania with his kids?

[arschbiene]

That night, Feliks learned Gilbert's violence towards his own men was growing habitual and his dreams were fraught with visions of the boy taking knife to his own throat. The next day, he bid Gilbert to take his knights and leave his kingdom and was stunned to be refused.

i like to think some humans can be really driven mad around the presence of a slow growing immortal child, so for teuton i think a few of his knights developed a sort of religion fueled schizophrenic paranoia about him, like just from exposure to him and his increasingly belligerent and wild behavior.

I think he grew harder to control as he grew older within the knights and the entire atmosphere was oppressive, abusive, and violent. I like to think teuton gets to the point where he can't handle the bullshit anymore and starts culling men left and right it's like a mutual descent to madness where he thinks he's the sane and righteous one, but he's just as sick as the men who are seeing him as a demonic entity (who we can probably argue are they really sick or are they just seeing things as they are lol).

I like the wedge being driven between him and feliks' bond as the Feliks sees the deterioration of Gilbert's mental health and morality, thinking you know someone when you absolutely do not. Betrayal, hatred, horror and deep pity entwined deeply in this situation.

So.........I may have had a minor hetalia relapse. More to come. Lol.

doodle comic exploring the idea that when G/ermania starts slowing down and getting sick more often, he has this low key selfish compulsion to try and right old wrongs and be a more communicative and gentle father to prepare his children for his death but this just stresses Gilbert out at this point because he’s just a  baby who has a ton of anxiety around death and the uncertainty of immortality because his future doesn’t feel as secure as his siblings.

In loser au the reason gilbert smoking in his 14th coz he is afraid of death. Is he paranoid about dead? Coz he is healthy unlike his step brother ludwig

Yes. I headcanon Gilbert as having very complex and intense feelings around death for a ton of reasons but mostly it's just how I funnel out all my feelings as someone with a lot of experience with death first hand due to my job and life. I don't really have a moment right now to get into it because serious time crunch but maybe another time.

If you're interested in it, I have a lot of different works about it you can find them under the tag #Knight Terrors or #Storybooklings

I just really wanted to do my comic about G/ermania being absorbed into a tree when he died and was like why not wrap around some of p/russia’s fucked up feelings about the futility and burden of love when you were born for war.

Slapped together a doodle comic as a happy belated father’s day to a dad who is constantly just going through it.

[arschbiene]

Please enjoy this doodle askblogish-like comic I did in four days to escape my existential dread. If ya wanna see more comics i’ve done, please look at my tag!  Insecure and Unflattering artist apologies under the cut!

SO.....Sorry if this comes across as really rushed/sloppy/messy and kinda badly paced. Tumblr only allows ten images and I was really eager to fit it within that frame limit lol. This is really...a semi-developed ficlet that I did months ago and then lost and decided to do again but without...being precious about. So I decided to just slap on to visuals, this is zero planning, just four days, hours upon hours of drawing just squeezing in as much text as I can without much fuss. SORRY FOR THE ending not going back to Liet and Po’s thoughts and reactions about it, 10 IMAGE LIMIT!!  Also I’m still learnning how to pol@nd and lithuani@ so please forgive me. maybe i’ll do a longer follow up. Next I’m gonna do the same thing but for a br@ndenburg prussi@ thing i wrote months ago. THANKS FOR READING. APPRECIATED.

All this prompt made me think about was my HC about Teuton’s increasing war weariness and desperation during the heat of the major war period 😔

“There was perhaps an instant between the end of Prussia’s aggressively triumphant speech- complete with shaking of his bouquet towards Austria- and the dawning of his realisation that he had let his mouth run far away with his brain. It wasn’t long enough to let him formulate any sort of regret, or indeed any escape, before he found the bouquet snatched from him and promptly slapped against his face. It was through a flurry of petals that he saw her furiously offended expression, her cheeks scarlet with some unspeakably dramatic emotion.” -the earth watches the moon, but she’s looking at the stars; by reaperangelique

I love @cirqueangelique writing so much, this has been a long time coming. I’m going to be slowly drawing some of my favorite moments because I love her fic AND THEse two so much, i want to just…Share it with Everyone I know.

[arschbiene]

Headcanon snapshot bc the idea of baby nations having warped ideas about human mortality is the most fascinating thing to me…What if Prussia at first thought that the men who fell for him on the battlefield would share his immortality? I think the first time he realized the permanence of death and how close it was even to him is where he first began to develop his fear of death in my head canon.

The hetalia girls discord reminded me of an old headcanon I have that Nyo!Germany would cut her hair as a child to kinda claim her own identity much to the distress and chagrin of her sisters. I give nyo!Hre these super long locks that Nyo!Germany just hacks off in a singular act of childhood rebellion because she hates how everyone seems to put so much sorrow/importance on her hair and is tired of everyone constantly touching it.
