Summary:
The Aces of the Deck have noticed that something is wrong.
First they realized that they are missing memories from earlier in their time as Royals. Then they started dreaming of working with another set of Royals during a war between Clubs and Spades. Those two strange “Joker” fellows showing up in mirror reflections are only making things more confusing, same for the soul of that mysterious sorcerer from centuries ago.
Which set of Royals are they each supposed to work with? Why are the Aces the only ones to remain in the same Suits? How can they set things straight again, and what is the cost to pay if they do so?

bittersweet ~ a yandere!John Wick x fem!reader sunshine/grump coffee shop AU... Part 4 all chapters
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Winter is making you stir crazy, so on your day off you decide to go for a hike on one of the copious mountain trails around your town. There’s still snow on the ground, and in the middle of the day you seem to have the woods nearly to yourself.
You like being by yourself.
The mountain is quiet, but for the wind in the trees and some determinedly chipper little birds chirping.
You nearly have a heart attack when you round a bend, and there is a large figure in all black. For a split-second you mistake him for a bear, before you realize it’s Mr. Wick.
“Jesus, you scared me,” you huff.
“Sorry,” he says, seeming genuinely apologetic.
“Where’s Dog?”
“I left him at home. Too cold.”
You like it, that he considered Dog’s comfort in the matter.
With a small frown he peers around you. “Are you alone?”
“Yes. I hike alone all the time.”
You hope he will spare you the lecture, even if it secretly pleases you that he is a little worried for you.
He sighs a little. “I wish you wouldn’t. You never know who you might run into out here.”
You cant your head, finding this statement slightly ironic, considering.
“I can handle myself. You’re looking at a junior Tae Kwon Do black belt, I’ll have you know.” The latter you deliver with a sassy grin, because even though it has come in useful on a few occasions, in the real world you know it doesn’t mean shit. You were just a child, and it was a long time ago.
This actually succeeds in winning you what is nearly a full-on smile, for him. “Well then. Remind me not to piss you off.”
The thought is absurd to you. You’re no willowy waif by far, but you can tell right now that this totally fit—and fine as fuck, if you’re being honest—man could snap you like a twig, if he wanted to. You snort in answer.
“I’m sure it won’t come up.”
He levels you with a long look then, that you don’t entirely understand.  
“So…you like hiking in the cold?” you ask, suddenly feeling a little awkward.
“I guess I’m used to it,” he answers. “I was born in Belarus.”
“Oh.” There is no hint of accent in his words. You reason he must have come to America at a very young age.
“And you?”
“I was not born in Belarus,” you confirm. It’s his turn to huff, and your heart skitters in your chest when he takes a step closer. He veritably looms over you, so tall and broad shouldered. You have a moment of clarity in which it really sinks in that you are totally alone out on the quiet mountain with this man, and he really could do anything he wants with you.
The thought titillates more than it disturbs, and maybe you have a screw loose.
“You’re a cheeky girl, aren’t you?”
There is a look in his eye, and for a moment you think he’s going to bend down to you. Crazier yet, you would have let him. But his hands remain in the pockets of his expensive down coat. The weight of his gaze alone is enough to make you feel as though he’s touched you, and you narrowly suppress a shudder.
It’s not because of the crisp mountain wind.  
“So I’ve heard. I don’t like the cold,” you answer his real question. “But I do like the snow.”
He frowns a little. “How does that work out?”
“It’s an aesthetic thing.”
“Ah. Your artist’s eye.”
“I guess.”
“You’re very good.”
It is, in fact, freezing cold out there in the woods, but suddenly you feel warm, standing there with him, basking in his praise.
“You’re kind.”
He tilts his head, his hair falling in his eyes. “Not really,” he says, and it almost sounds like a warning. “But maybe, just for you. Can I walk with you?”
You were enjoying your solo excursion, but you find yourself nodding in agreement, unable to turn down the opportunity to spend time with your mysterious but favorite customer from the coffee shop.  
“Ok. Are you making the loop?”
“Partly. My house isn’t far from the north fork of the trail.”
“Ah.” He must have just moved into one of the insanely expensive mansions tucked back in the woods, you reason.
It’s too cold to stand around and talk, so you hit the trail together. His legs are long, boy are they, but he matches his pace to stay with you. You don’t say much, but you enjoy each other’s company in the outdoors. You follow the line of a steep bluff on one side, old growth trees towering all around. It’s not a sunny day, but still bright from the freshly fallen snow. Later the forecast calls for more.
When you slide a little on an icy rock he makes a grab for you, and suddenly you do find yourself tucked in against the hard line of his side. It wasn’t entirely necessary—you’re wearing knobby boots, and you would have landed on your feet.
But it is endearing that he was worried for you.
The strength in his grip squeezing you steals your breath away. You only manage to get out a wheezy, “Thanks.”
He acknowledges your gratitude with a grumble, releasing you almost as quickly as he grabbed you. You get the sense that he is annoyed, somehow. You, however, know the memory of his body against yours is going to haunt your dreams that night.
Suddenly too warm, you unzip your jacket a little.
When you reach the trail marker for the north fork that will take him closer to home you look at him, expecting to say goodbye, certain he will be glad to be rid of you. But he keeps walking. “I'll get you to your car,” he says. 
“You don't have to do that.” 
“I want to,” he insists. “If you don't mind?” He’s softened again to you, for whatever reason, and you swear his moods could give you whiplash. Having this man to yourself for another mile isn’t the worst way you've spent an afternoon. 
“Ok, if you insist.” 
When you get to the parking lot, there is a shifty pair of guys hanging out in a beat-up Dodge van that might as well have “FREE CANDY” spray painted on the side panel. You look to John curiously, who is staring down the driver with a hard look in his eyes. Even though that look isn’t directed at you, it gives you a little chill.
The man behind the wheel confers with his bearded companion, and they decide to start up and chug away. 
You feel like you narrowly missed a passing danger, like a shark swum past your hiding spot in the reef.
“How... did you know?” 
“Seen them around the past week or so. Maybe promise me no more solo hikes until they move on?” 
“Yeah. Ok.” Maybe they were just two guys down on their luck hanging out in a van…but they definitely gave you the creeps.
“Can I give you a lift home?” He would have miles to go, uphill, in the bitter cold otherwise. 
“Thanks.” 
You pause at your late model Rav4, kind of embarrassed. He drives a very nice black Range Rover, and though your car is a soldier, bless all four of its cylinders, it kind of looks like a piece of shit. “Um...sorry,” you say, moving some books out of the passenger seat.
However, he seems non plussed. 
“No worries. Thanks for the ride.”
You start the engine, letting it warm up a little. He rubs his hands together, blowing on his fingers. “So…do you pick up strangers from the woods often?”
You laugh quietly. “You’re not that strange.”
 He tilts his head in that way that makes you feel unnervingly seen.
“You don't really know me, y/n.”
Why do you feel like he's trying to warn you?
“So... you’re saying I should make you walk back up the mountain in the freezing cold?” 
His low laughter tugs at your insides, making unbidden warmth spread through you.
“No, now that I'm here that really doesn't sound appealing.” 
You dare to wonder if he means here, with you.
“Ok then.” You put the Rav4 in drive. “Where are we headed?”

help my bestie not go homeless!!!!!!!!!! <3
one of my dearest friends sonya and her partner senya have recently escaped russia to. you know. for senya to not get drafted first and foremost, but also to not have a decade of their lives and careers ruined by russia's tightening isolationist policies. they are currently in belarus and as of tonight (11 pm, october 15th) technically homeless already. a room that they have booked for tomorrow will be 35$ a day and they barely have enough for that, not mentioning food. if they get really lucky a friend might get them a spare room in a couple of days but if not theyre kinda screwed. big time. so they need this safety net, just for a couple days, a week, until senya starts work (around the 23rd).
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
sonya also does full-on digital art commissions ^ like here or can thank you with a little sketch. ^ also like here. you can contact her on twitter @_Night_Milk_ or dm me and ill relay your message to her paypal: [email protected] and just in case, boosty (doesnt take 3$ off, she's setting that up like. right now so it might look like shit but i swear its not gonna make the shadow demon enter your house and steal your money its just an alternative that we use in slavic countries): boosty.to/night_milk

Some Hetalia Headcanons
Belarus is a fouled-mouth person. She doesn’t have those savage insults that can be funny. It’s the ones that are very unpleasant to the ear and very hostile. One of her most common threats is to bite off someone's dick(Canon).
Korea eats those making-proportioned meals when he’s sad and going through it.
Yongsoo's favorite beverages are Milkis, Yuzu Tea, and Banana Milk.
Hong Kong doesn't like Melon Pan and has once written an entire thread on Reddit dissing Melon Pan.
China has no wrinkles on his face or skin(Bro is 长生不老, but more emphasis on 不老).
America loves Jazz and electro-swing, especially the ones from the 1920s.
Singapore wears glasses when working.
China loves furry animals, especially pandas(also red pandas).
Prussia bullies kids on Roblox and Fortnite.
China takes art commissions but spends a really long time making them because he wants them to look the best they can possibly be. India got pressed over that the art he commissioned 2 months ago still isn't finished.
China can shapeshift(it seems cool and it resonates with a lot of Chinese mythology and legends).
Most Asian countries are absolute suckers of melodramatic exaggerated romance dramas.
Austria would never take his anger out on any instruments in the house. If he does, shit is real.
Vietnam and China get into arguments every once in a while over who is the oldest. It gets nowhere as the calendar wasn't even invented when they were born.
China, India, Iran, and (sometimes) Vietnam often use their age to their advantage. ("Respect your elders" and shit like that)
France isn't active on social media. He would post once in a blue moon which would be a food picture or something to do with fashion.

It's the little things (7)
Previous / Next
After nine years of knowing him, Christine Vega had about lost hope about ever learning how to not give in to John MacTavish's puppy eyes.
So when he had started whining about how long had it been since she had last cooked fried chicken (it was last month), she just... got to work. She couldn't help it.
And there she was, in the small kitchenette that Price had made install in their private common room, up to her elbows in flour and spices, coating chicken in it, then in eggs, then in panko crumbs, then dropping it in oil, checking over it with the wood tongs...
It was a tedious and messy process for just one person, but both Soap and Gaz had been roped into taking the privates to the assault course. So they'd be hungry when they got back. And that day Price had mentioned mournfully that Dr. Heather was having lunch with a friend. So she had to make sure it was enough food for five people, four of which ate like they were always famished.
But she'd be lying if she said she didn't feel joy seeing them devour the food she cooked. It made her feel useful to know that she was good at something.
Now, if only she had been good at tying her damn hair properly, that would have been awesome.
For the last ten minutes the shorter strands of her hair had escaped from her loose bun, and brushed over and over again her face, tickling her nose when she leaned in. And her hands were sticky with the mixture of flour and egg and bread crumbs, so she couldn't just... brush it back. So she did as she could using her forearms, to no avail. She even blew softly to get the loose strands out of her face.
''What are you doing?'' Simon's deep, gravelly voice sounded right behind her, and Christine let out an undignified squeak, almost dropping a piece of chicken and turning her head.
He was standing there, hands inside the pocket of his hoodie as usual, looming over her and watching curiously the messy display on the counters.
''One day, Simon, I swear I'll scare you to death just like you do when you sneak up on me'' Christine mumbled, facing again her task, but she couldn't help but smile. And then frown when with the movement her bun definitely came undone. ''Well, shit''
''Problems, lovie?'' His low rumbled laugh made her heart flutter as always, and the left corner of her lips hurt when her smile widened without control.
''Bad hair day, I guess. I can't seem to keep it up, and my hands are filthy and I can't...'' She froze when he felt hands... his hands, gently brushing her hair back and bunching it up until he could hold it with just one of his enormous hands.
God, he even had taken off his gloves.
''Does this help?'' His voice sounded lower than before, and a tad more uncertain, and she resisted the urge to nod like an idiot, trying with all her might not to tremble.
''Yes...'' Christine murmured, exhaling the breath she had been holding, and continued working while he stood there beside her, holding her hair with one hand and the other still inside his pocket.
Simon wasn't even sure why he had done that. And even less why he had taken his gloves off before touching her hair, but he had remembered Belarus. When she asked permission to touch the skull plate on his mask, and when he agreed, she had taken her glove off to touch it with her bare fingertips.
As if it would have been disrespectful, unholy, to touch him with anything less that her exposed skin.
Maybe that was why he had shed his gloves before touching her hair, and now, was still trying to decide if it had been a good or a bad idea. Feeling her hair between his fingers, the back of her head almost resting on his palm, made him feel things. Things that made him clench his jaw beneath the balaclava, his eyes focused on the nape of her neck.
Soft, pale and delicate skin where he could maybe...
Her low humming distracted him from his less than chaste thoughts, and he couldn't help but look at her fondly. Busy as a bee, completely dedicated to feed them like a mother hen, fiercely taking care of her newfound place.
Without thinking, his fingers tightened his hold on her hair, craddling her head in his palm, and he saw her shoulders relaxing, her humming becoming sweeter and softer, almost a purr.
Wait, he knew that tune.
''What are you humming?''
''Ah... Think, by Kaleida, it... it's in the first John Wick film'' Christine barely turned her head to look at him, not bothered in the slightest by how tight he was holding her hair now. If she had to be honest... she liked it too much.
Simon pretended to be deep in thought, and then shook his head.
''Don't remember it'' He was lying. That was the song that he heard in the video that Soap sent him during his last solo deployment.
She fell for it. Or maybe pretended to fall for it. But she turned her head back to her task preparing food and started to hum softly again, until she ended singing just as softly, warming his heart.
Think of me, I'll never break your heart Think of me, you're always in the dark I am your light, your light, your light Think of me, you're never in the dark

I am incredibly frustrated with Finland right now.
So as you know, Finland shares border with Russia, and Russia has lately been doing this "hybrid influencing" or whatever the shit by pushing asylum seekers from other countries to cross the border. (Belarus does this with its neighbours too.)
And Finland is freaking the fuck out, closing the border, human rights abuses galore etc etc.
And its so fucking stupid because if the country just stopped being fucking racist and said "yes anyone has the right to seek asylum, we can erect centers for asylum seekers and we will process these asylum applications normally" this entire attempt by Russia would be nothing!
It is the racism of this country that makes it possible for Russia to do this! You are making yourselves vulnerable to this sort of action by being racists shits about immigrants! If the politicians and officials would just fucking stop and act like adults, take in the refugees and asylum seekers like the law says you need to, there would be no problem. Russia wouldn't "overwhelm" the Finnish system because the Finnish system could show that it is resilient and able to adjust with the power of its principles of respect for the constitution and its dedication to human rights.
And like we've done this before! In 2015 there were a lot of Syrian and Iraqi refugees coming and we managed! The system was resilient, the Red Cross mobilised, lots of volunteers mobilised, it was literally fine. Not perfect, not shit, but it was fine.
This is literally a keep calm and carry on -situation, but racists gotta freak the fuck out over some melanin I guess -_-

okay i need to get this out because its consuming me. today’s attempted coup in russia was WILD. its truly unprecedented.
wagner has shot down at least 6 aircraft. 5 helicopters and a fucking airborne command unit. think a 737 full of expensive surveillance equipment and maybe some commanders. the death toll is possibly in the dozens. there’s no way this was a false flag or a psy op. wagner committed literal murder today.
and yet putin backed down. the roads to moscow were dug up and the bridges mined while he fled. at least according to the public facing agreement they have dropped all arrest records for wagner troops who i must emphasize marched on a russian city and killed russian solders. prigozhin has left? been sent to? exiled to? belarus of all places but is evading consequences publicly.
of all the things to happen i would not have picked that. putin just rolled over and took it. it can only lead me to believe that either russia had nothing to fend off the wagner convoy or the fight would have been too militarily disastrous for russia to continue the fight in ukraine. it wasn’t out of concern for civilians caught in the crossfire. russia has proven time and time again they don’t care about that even for optics. just look at their ‘counter-terrorist’ missions for proof.
behind the scenes who the fuck knows what is going on. prigozhin probably has a price on his head and so does putin. now they will become increasingly paranoid. wagner and russian forces camped near each other will spend more time monitoring for a backstab than monitoring ukraine. a failed assassination attempt will kick off the hostilities all over again and there will be attempts at some point because putin can’t leave priggy alive.
putin has ruined his hard man image which is vital to maintaining a dictatorship. if its proven that motivated people can move on the capital then nobody takes your shit anymore. it will embolden priggy because at least outwardly he’s gotten away with a coup. if you take one thing away from this its that this is chapter one. there will be another internal conflict in russia within 6 months.
as for the war effort in ukraine: six airframes down, probably a dozen pilots dead, internal reshuffling of wagner forces causing gaps on the frontline temporarily and possibly russian forces being permanently relocated to moscow in order to prevent another coup. we all hoped for a rip each other’s dick off situation but we will have to wait for that. not for long tho.

I actually find funny how Gojo asks Geto, "You're gonna kill all the non-sorcerers and create a world with sorcerers only?" That's the "Aliens and America" trope.
Cause, as long as I remember, thanks to Tengen's barrier, about 99% of all sorcerers are in modern Japan. According to manga's map, there should be no sorcerers on occupied by russia Chishima and Karafuto territories, which is also funny: geopolitics influence the number of sorcerers. Although everyone behaves like it shouldn't.
I think what Gege tried to say by that American military arc is that if they tried to occupy Japan and "liberate them from evil spirits"... would Tengen's barrier update? XD How would it change, and by what logic? Does Tengen sit in her barrier reading newspapers and like, "Oh shit, non-sorcerers occupied Chishima and Karafuto, update the data!!!"
I don't believe it should work like this. Why? The answer is imperialism. Imperialism for countries is like Candida albicans for humans: it's present in everyone in small quantities, but if you neglect your health and let it multiply - not only will you ruin the mood of those around you, but you will also be in danger of death.
Every country is this or that way imperialistic, and Japan, as former empire, should be thrice as such. And it actually is. They draw Chishima and Karafuto as occupied territories on school maps nowadays. I highly doubt a state that draws its territories as occupied in school textbooks would remove Tengen's barrier from them. Unless a higher-up Tengen has higher prorussian higher-ups than her.
If Geto studied history a little better, he would know that genocide never ends good for those who genocide. Hitler killed around 30 million people - and it's about 2-3% of the world population. It's like modern Texas. Did Hitler achieve his goal? No. Did Hitler make himself a non-human who is perceived even worse than Satan? Yes.
Maximum any genocider can reach is to clean a certain territory AND fill it with someone else. Look at russia and Ukraine. Look at russia and Belarus. Look at Azerbaijan and Armenia. Look at Mongolian empire, Roman empire, Conquistadors, etc, etc.
Did Geto want to methodically, with understanding what he wants to reach, kill all non-sorcerers? As far as it seems, no. Because of Tengen's words about Japan being the main curse energy producing factory, it's not very clear to me whether Geto wanted to kill all non-sorcerers in Japan's borders or in the whole world. In the whole world, it's just NOT POSSIBLE to do. Not even empires with billions of people were able to do that. A one person just can't do it without destroying the planet completely - and it wasn't Geto's goal to destroy the planet completely.
I suppose he wanted to kill all the non-sorcerers in Japan at first. But once again, there are Chishima and Karafuto (status unknown), and there are AXILLARY MANAGERS who are non-sorcerers who can control their cursed energy. Let's assume that Geto wanted to clear Japan's territory at first - whom was he gonna fill it with? As Belaruthians say, Nature abhors the void. Whom was he gonna fill the world with if LOTS OF SORCERERS come from NON-SORCERERS FAMILIES, like Haibara Yu, like Ijichi Kiyotaka, like Nanami Kento, like Yuta Okkotsu who didn't know he had a far sorcerer ancestor.
Yuki Tsukumo said that killing all non-sorcerers is a decent plan, the easiest way to create a world without curses. Yuki Tsukumo lied to Geto Suguru, and I still don't understand why, considering she also mentioned she's chasing the second option - make all of humanity control their cursed energy - which is actually the fastest and easiest way, with many possible solutions: from inventing a some kind of "vaccine" or something to simply widespread by government programs to teach the population how to deal with curses. Or actually all of that. If you see that the sorcerers are not coping with their task, well, involve the average people. It's like with a drowning person. If you know that a child is drowning, you won’t go looking for him alone across the sea. You ask all the people on the beach to join hands and walk along the shoreline a few meters into the sea.
However, as we can see, Japanese government, including sorcerers higher-ups, didn't give a single fuck about less and less sorcerers being able to do their job and remain alive and healthy. Why? Because the JJK Japanese government was a financed marionette by someone who wanted Japan to collapse. I would bet on Kenjaku and China. Otherwise, I have no idea what that chapter was with Kenjaku speaking Chinese for. Yuki Tsukumo, as someone who cared, must have noticed that. Maybe she tried to involve herself in politics, by "fucking around taking trips overseas", maybe she even played political games with Kenjaku. But she was unguarded, and she relied too much on "impotent UN" Tengen, for which she payed.
Yuki lied to Geto, or rather shifted his focus, and it was very easy to do because he was 1)clearly traumatized teen, with vulnerable mental state, 2)on the verge of the mental illness, 3)most likely already with hidden xenophobic beliefs. What for? I suppose the goal was to separate him and Gojo, considering that highlighting on "the three of us special grades" - Yuki is not dumb, and she must have guessed that Geto would have questioned his own special gradeness after Toji incident:
Tumblr media
The whole conversation Yuki&Geto is such an obvious taking "on a dare". Unfortunately, people are not very good at expressing why they find Yuki suspicious, which ends in demonising Yuki Tsukumo. I suppose those people who know how it is - to be vulnerable mentally - dislike her the most.
Did Yuki cause Geto's fall? Nah, I think people exaggerate her role in Geto's character. Geto would have fallen anyway, she just made it happen faster, for her own unclear motives.
A world without non-sorcerers simply can not exist, just like the russian empire can not exist without Ukrainians and all the other people they genocided because it was built on them. They have been killing so many people with such pleasure that most of russia's territory is now simply empty and is about to be partitioned and consumed by countries that have overpopulation because the Nature abhors the void.
I love how Gege highlights the well-known drama of fighting a villain by dynamic action, awesome artstyle, some civil stuff and "WOW SUKUNA VS GOJO SATORU" while hiding the fact they are technically going through war, through partitioning of JJK Japan by other states, which fight for resources like that Gojo in a box, and maybe something more. JJK Japan is, in fact, alternative universe Ukraine, which was occupied by russia for 3 days. That's why JJK manga is very important to me. Gege doesn't use straightforward language, and that's why people are so confused and say, "Gege is so dumb, why would he include American military?" - Gege is actually very smart. He just believed more people would be interested in the background, I guess. Maybe that's why he gave up and decided to finish this manga asap with EPIC FIGHTS only.
P.S. Anticipating questions like, "JJK China would not fight for JJK Japan, JJK Japan is too small" - my brother in Ra, China fights for fucking Taiwan, have you ever seen the size of Taiwan?

if hetalia and ace attorney had a crossover, america will be phoenix and germany will be edgeworth. perfect gerame scenario.
i was thinking england would be edgeworth at first for a good usuk, but he’s more of a mia to me. he’s dead. dead as hell. bad touch trio killed him (/j, unless…) because of that, peter will stick with america and somehow channel england’s spirit into his tiny body.
south italy will definitely be larry. holy shit i’d like to see him try getting through jobs every chapter/trial, and then he’d be fired in all of them by the end of it. and it’d be all fun and games until you realize lovino was trying to get by and do something in his life, do something that he thought he would be good at because he couldn’t live up to the potential of feliciano, who he loves, yet despises because of how good feli is at basically anything. good angst plot right there.
as for detective gumshoe, north italy is on his way. he’s such a lovable pookie and cherishes all his friends like gumshoe does. also edgeworth threatening to lower gumshoe’s salary is DEFINITELY A GERITA MOMENT LMAOAOOAO. IM ADDING HIM IN JUST BECAUSE OF THAT.
manfred von karma would be russia and franziska would be belarus. it’s obvious why they’re in those roles. russia decimating every client any defense attorney has would be so badass and cruel, yet he hides it with an innocent smile on his face, like “did i do something wrong? im just doing my job” but when he faces america he’d be all passive aggressive about it. become one with russia. also belarus using a fucking whip is so in character for her like damn wtf.
as for godot, it’s obvious the winner goes to france. it’s just that he has a sense of style, and the way godot is in love with mia and godot switched to a prosecutor gives me fruk for some reason. like imagine france and england arguing when they’re on the same side and same law office, and france became so fucking petty he left the office to england to become a prosecutor instead, so he’d battle england in the other table the next time they meet. oh my gosh they secretly love each other. the way france felt when england died is so devastating. i can’t feel more bad for him…
there’s a lot of other characters who’d play the part in the ace attoney x hetalia crossover, but this is all i could come up with right now. imagine making a fanfic about this that’d be so cool tf. maybe ill make it… who knows.

Of course brother,
Ahem
Good relationships first bevaus!!!! Positivity!!!
Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia, Macedonia, Montenegro, Yugoslavia, Kosovo, RS and Vojvodina are all related, they have relatively rocky relationships but they still love eachother in their fucked up balkaner way. So there's that.
Serbia/Greece/Romania are in a polycule (which technically. Means Serbia and Romania are Cyprus' step parents that's fun I forgot about that) + China's situationship with Serbia. Greece/Romania/China have a decent relationship, they're good friends. Serbia and Greece also act as step parents to Transnistria + as family to Moldova
Kosovo/Cyprus/Transnistria are the friend trio ever
Albania/Turkey are close friends that's fun
Russia/Belarus the siblings ever Russia is an asshole but like........not always
Russia/Serbia the cousins ever
Ukraine/Croatia the cousins ever (Ukraine/Croatia and Russia/Serbia fight to the death NOW)
Kazakhstan/Kyrgyzstan the siblings ever
Croatia/Germany the couple ever. Germany is technically two people in a trench but shhhhh
Yugo/Soviet they have such a fucked up relationship but I ignore my own canon they're the brothers ever sometimes
Soviet/Czeslo they're friends but Czeslo is high-key scared of Soviet at times
Yugo/Czeslo/Soviet THE trio ever Soviet was the pastor at Yugo's and Czeslo's shitty wedding at a shed in the forest while they were all drunk
China/Soviet China fucking loves to fuck with Soviet and he KNOWS he's the only person Soviet allows to fuck with him like that
Serbia/Mexico the friends ever they perform music together
Macedonia/Albania the friends ever also
France/Britain the old couple evef
Canada/America NOT the brothers ever I HATE TJEM America is so awful to Canada it's so hoeeible.....
Romania/Bulgaria they steal together
Bulgaria/Serbia/Macedonia Bulgar and Serb purposefully get together to chase Macedonia around and scare the shit out of her
China/Russia business partners but also they're the best friends ever
Czechia/Slovakia THE healthy siblings ever
I have. So many more.
Ok bad relationships
Serbia/Albania they are in court for custody over Kosovo (also have really deep conversations at 3 in the morning while Serbia's drunk about how everything would be different if there wasn't influences from bigger countries and how they're sorry to eachother. The next morning they're back to attempting to assassinate eachother)
Russia/America/China the only reason Russia hasn't fucking murdered America yet is because China's always there to be the middle ground and calm him the fuck down. Ame thinks pissing Rus off is hilarious
America/Mexico do I. Have to elaborate
Greece/Turkey divorce in court for custody of Cyprus /j
Serbia/Hungary divorce in court for custody of Vojvodina (/j they pretend to hate eachother for shits and giggles)

Germany/Russia/Poland grudges
Slovenia and the rest of the Yugoslav family are no-contact, Slovene lives with Czechia and Slovakia
Bulgaria/Yugo Bulgar thinks Yugo is MAD FUCKING ANNOYING!! Doesn't hate him but holy SHIT he's annoying
Yugo/Albania had beef way back when Yugo actually mattered
America/Soviet I don't have to explain
Britain/Soviet same as above

One of the things about tankies that always makes me laugh*
*It’s a bitter laugh.
They like to throw their temper tantrum and scream: “NATO BROKE THE PROMISE! THEY SHOULDN’T HAVE EXPANDED TO THE EAST! THEY PROMISED IT TO RUSSIA!/SOVIET UNION! THERE SHOULD BE A BUFFER BETWEEN THE WEST AND THE EAST, OTHERWISE RUSSIA FEELS SCARED!”
Which is, first of all, bullshit - there’s no written documents where NATO makes such promise; the closest one would be the Vier Plus Zwei Vertrag (Four Plus Two Agreement) from 1990 regarding the unification of Germany - among other points (like the Polish-German border or how large can German army be) there was one, in which NATO promises to have no NATO forces nor nuclear weapon on the territory of East Germany. Hell, even late Gorbachev claimed there was no such promise made (and he deeply disapproved of Poland joining NATO!)
But there’s another, much more depressing issue - look at this map of all European countries in the Eastern Bloc:
Tumblr media
You don’t need to be genius, to see that there are at least several (my math is rusty) countries between Germany and Russia. And like 95% of these countries joined NATO. And these chucklefucks would look at these and I bet my right arms none of them would ask this simple, yet crucial question:
why did these countries want to join NATO?
There were other options: they could have becomerussiasbitch keep close ties to Russia, like Belarus, or join CIS, like the Baltic States could, but they said in union: panie, idź pan w chuj.
If they actually, y’know gave the shit about people, that would be the first question to pop up in their heads (or at least should be).
And here’s the laughing part, because of course this question would never come to their minds and that’s because they would first admit that these countries populated by people who have their agency and the right to self-determination.
Tankies don’t give a flying fuck about people who had to actually deal with USSR/Russia’s bullshit for at least two centuries. Or at least they don’t care more then the filthy and rotten West does.

I’m so late but for the blorbo bingo 👀 Canada? and Russia maybe? 👀
Blorbo Bingo Oooh, Canada and Russia, they're my faves alongside America and England! I love all the Allies, actually—I'm always a sucker for protags. 🤠
Canada:
Tumblr media
HE IS. A LAD. SQUISH HIM. SAD LITTLE SACK. SO CUTE. AUGH. He is super cute, though other characters have moved up and over him as my super ultra faves in the last couple of years. He can be so melodramatic but I also feel bad for him but also I like to see more of him that isn't 'oh no invisible' and 'passive aggressive Canadian.' I LOVE the nods to him getting high and going surfing and being just as goofy like America. Put him in a blender like the rest of them, I wanna see what he does. >:) BINGO.
Russia:
Tumblr media
AHHH HAVE YOU SEEN THAT MAN'S TITTIES OMG HELP ME. SUPER SQUISH. Now I got two statements here for him: aww poor baby...but also please get therapy. He's definitely got problems that he needs to unpack like a whole ass U-Haul. Sometimes he do be trying, and I hope his character gets better with it instead of running in circles like, "Why does nobody like me, why am I so lonely!" There are reasons for that, my good sir.
Back in ye olde days in fandom he was almost always the serial killer/molester/villain, so anytime I see Russia as the 'bad guy' in fics I'm like ohhh boy here we go again, even though it may not end up as him being evil for the sake of being evil. I don't torment this man too much, he had it plenty enough, and that's a good reason why he's the way he is in the first place, but also ALL OF THEM been through shit? I like Russia in theory but then I see him be really REALLY oblivious in the strips and keep shooting himself in the foot, then the fandom comes and he's this grizzled, chiseled grunty bear of a motherfucker. 😂 I like the Russia that's in my head, same with Belarus. BINGO.

Hello! I'm the one non mutual who saw your dialogue prompt list lol. I know it's a bit of a stretch but could I request Engmano for 10 or if it's easier Belarus and Russia platonically for 2?
It's totally cool if you can't do either. Just thought I'd take a shot.
well well. firstly, it looks like we're now mutuals so joke's on you! and secondly, a shock even to myself, but as it turns out... that is not a stretch at all. i've got you! 💚
Okay
"Are you alright in here?"
"Why do you care?"
"Because," England remarks, stepping into the men's bathroom, where Romano has decided to hide himself away during the lunchtime interval, "you're sitting on the floor of an empty bathroom, and I'd reckon that a person has to be in a pretty bad way to want to get that close to invisible piss stains."
The Italian has to fight back a smile—though, for a good few seconds, it wins and the other nation is able to peer through the cracks. Lorenzo isn't thrilled about it, but… well, he daren't say it aloud, but England is quite right: bathrooms are fucking disgusting. Right now, he sits by the sinks, back against the wall, empty cubicle to his left. His knees are up, close, and act as rests for his wrists as he seriously questions his sanity.
"At least I'm not sitting by the urinals," he quips back, nevertheless, filling a needy silence.
"Still, could've taken a seat on the toilet lid," Arthur returns.
"There… isn't one."
"…ah. I see your predicament."
"Why are you here, huh? Did Germany tell you to round up all the trouble-makers or something?" Lorenzo questions.
Arthur merely scoffs. "I'm not his lapdog—
"Mmh, he has a few of those…"
"—and to be frank, I'm sure I'm a permanent resident of his 'naughty list'," the Brit concludes, humoured all the same. "Yeah… No, the reason I'm here is because this is actually where I like to mope about. Though, the toilet used to be better equipped for, uh, mini breakdowns."
Lorenzo has a mini panic. "I'm not having a breakdo—!"
"I'm not saying you are," the other hurries to defend. "But again, I draw your attention to the potential piss tracked across the floor by someone's shoes."
Lorenzo says nothing.
Arthur says, "Are you sure you're okay?"
And Lorenzo asks him again, "Why do you care?"
A slow sigh comes from the other. All humour seems to have left him, and he steps towards the other nation—and not only towards, but he also comes down by Lorenzo's side, much to the Italian's bewilderment, and sits on floor next to him. Piss stains and all.
"Would it help if I said I'm here on behalf of a… an interested party…?" the blonde remarks, which does no favours for Lorenzo's mood.
"Feli?"
Arthur shakes his head.
"Toni?"
Another shake. Lorenzo shifts a little, and reloads.
"Alfred?"
But still, no.
"Matthew?"
Apparently not!
"Cazzo, it isn't Gilbert, is it?" he questions, landing on the only other person he could think of who may possibly give a shit. But when Arthur shakes his head again, all he can do is slam his head back against marble tiles in defeat.
"It shouldn't really matter who it is," Arthur goes on to tell him in the meantime. "The point is, someone wants to make sure you're okay."
The brunette wants to reply. He wants to shout, I'm fine, now leave me the fuck alone already! but he can't. Maybe that's because it would be a lie. But Enzo, he chides himself, lying never usually bothers you, which is the truth. Lying rarely ever bothers him. So why… why… is he struggling to look Arthur in the face and say it? Say those two words?
I'm fine.
If it were him, walking into a bathroom and finding England sitting on the floor looking more miserable than usual, he'd chalk it up to an argument with France and join in on some spontaneous slandering. But he wouldn't ask him, are you okay? Would he? Would he…?
Romano casts his eyes back away from the other nation before he starts becoming too obvious. His 'deep thinking' face is quite distinctive, appare—
"You don't have to be okay, you know."
His eyes almostly instantly find Arthur again. "You think I don't know that?" he asks, brow raised along with his walls.
"I think you don't believe it," the other says, however. "Knowing and believing are different things. It took me a long time to work that one out…"
"I didn't ask for private lessons in living."
Arthur manages a feeble smile. "Right. Sorry."
And Lorenzo knows almost instantly that he has over-stepped, crossed a line, crushed something underneath his clumsy foot. He doesn't feel the urge often, but before he can really think about it, he huffs and says, "No, no, I'm sorry. I'm sorry… You're only trying to help…"
"No need to apologise. I am the one being incredibly nosy."
"Yeah, well… I guess I am only used to it from certain people," the Italian muses. He regards Arthur with solemnity. "You want to know if I'm okay?"
It takes him a moment, but the other nods his head. Lorenzo gives him what he wants:
"I'm sitting on the floor of a bathroom," he says, "possibly in a puddle of someone's piscio, in a room halfway across the building from where everyone else is, and I really, really don't want to go back." He leans his head back against the wall, but his eyes stay fixed on Arthur. "Does it sound like I am okay?"
"…not really."
"Then there's your answer."
Another nod, another pause.
"Would you like some company?"
Lorenzo frowns. "You, you mean?"
"We're the only ones currently in this bathroom, so… yes."
"Don't you want to go back?"
"What, and let you get away with stealing my hiding place?" the other scoffs. "Fat chance."
And, even though it feels odd—even though it feels like there is more to it, like he's in for an earful or maybe even worse—Lorenzo… doesn't tell him to go. Instead, he hesitates for no more than five seconds before suggesting, defying his own expectations of himself, "Wanna hide in one of the nearby café's instead?"
When Arthur smiles at him, a weight seems to vanish. A worry seems to subside.
"Okay."

Some takes on 2p characters bc I have ideas
2p Japan - I think 2p Japan is a little bit like 1p America: he’s kind of loud and excited, things that Kiku typically is not. I think he’s a lot more open and direct with what he wants, he doesn’t dance around the subject, he’s open with his interests and doesn’t really hide anything, even if it’s embarrassing. I personally think he could be like an engineer or a tech kind of person, just bc that’s the role I have him in in this semi-abandoned WIP
2p Belarus - Think sugary pastel bubblegum aesthetic, she is your color queen. She’s a lot more bubbly and sweeter but I think she can be just as obsessive as 1p Belarus only,,, worse. I personally don’t like canon Belarus that much, my interpretation of her is very different, but 2p Belarus? She is fucking prime yandere material. I love her <3
2p Ukraine - Okay 1. I have thoughts about Ukraine, I think she’s kind of manipulative when she cries, nobody likes seeing a pretty lady cry right? And I think she does the same things with her boobs/body. Maybe not in a bad way, I don’t think she’s a bad person. So I think 2p Ukraine doesn’t have a manipulative bone in her body, she’s awkward, can’t really carry a conversation at all, and much more conservative and shy with her dress. She honest to a fault and I think the only time she she really gets upset or shows deep emotions is when it comes to people she cares about.
2p Russia - Trauma Alert! He’s fucked up. He’s quiet and hates getting close to people like emotionally, and hates being touched even more. He doesn’t know how to trust. Because of his quietness and his stature, people often assume he’s a violent kind of person, especially with how many scars he has, but I really don’t think he can bring himself to hurt anyone. He avoids conflict like the plague where as I think 1p Russia finds amusement in conflict (or at least he likes starting shit to watch ppl react, I don’t think he really intends to hurt anyone).
2p France - also a trauma boy. He has a hard time with relationships and trust and turns to alcohol to soothe his issues. I personally think he’s selectively mute as well.

Here's my other issue with Walt and those of his ilk vis-a-vis Russia and Ukraine - this whole "god FORBID we just MENTION that it MIGHT be beneficial to CONSIDER whether NATO ENLARGEMENT was part of the problem, and god FORBID we just ASK whether we can't BALANCE Ukraine, which I do support, against OTHER EQUALLY important (and maybe MORE IMPORTANT) issues and causes. You can't say ANYTHING without being accused of basically being a Russian asset these days! We're just ASKING QUESTIONS and trying to POINT OUT THE OTHER SIDE of this argument" thing?
*Might* have had some validity in 2014, at best. Maybe. Partially.
But continually acting like there's an equivalent amount of blame and cause to go around? To act like Russia had some legitimate arguments?And continually blatantly ignoring the genocidal nature of the invasion?
He has consistently argued (like Mearsheimer, another realist who also has been Ukraine contrarian) that the issue is Russia's concern over Ukraine and other countries becoming Western (hence the focus on NATO expansion) and therefore everyone's been too dismissive and not respected Russia's concerns for security and territory, etc.
As someone who tends to be more hawkish and realist with foreign policy, I think they're full of shit.
And making those arguments, in August of this year, in October, in December, *does* make you a Russian stooge or appeaser. It allows for a distinctly Russian-beneficial argument to be given legitimacy and overlooks that what Russia is doing is imperialist and genocidal. And also ignores how many Eastern European countries wanted to join NATO (or other Western organizations like the EU) *because* of their history with Russia and fears that the Warsaw Pact days and Russian dominance over them would return (and, looking at Belarus, at Ukraine, at Georgia, at the various breakaway republics, at the undermining and coopting of elections and individuals, etc., can we blame them at this point?) and also how NATO was *not* this super gung-ho all the time about enlargement (or the EU, for the matter).
It's a deliberately narrow and incomplete view which inherently excuses genocide and invading another sovereign country and which can only benefit Putin and the Russian regime.

What is Belarus like in the AU?
Very strong-willed! She doesn’t say much in front of Soviet, but she definitely shit talks him behind his back. Also pretty crass. But she loves to sew and fashion design. Also does ballet. Sneaks off to gay bars and just tells Soviet she’s going to “meetings”
