OKAY HEAR ME OUT - Puck bunny Austria and hockey player Prussia
Roderich, who usually prides himself on knowing who is on the local team and misses the biggest trade of the season
Gilbert who who finds out about the trade right before the deadline on social media and it’s all anyone seems to be talking about on his timeline
Alfred and Matthew, who have known Gilbert forever, feeling bad for him despite their excitement for Gilbert joining their team and taking him out one night once he’s settled in
Roderich, going out with Arthur to see a local band and hanging out by the bar while Arthur gets crushed in the pit
Alfred spotting Roderich and immediately running to find Arthur because he will get that man to say yes to a date if it’s the last god damn thing he does
Gilbert and Matthew getting separated in the crowd, so Gilbert slips off to the bar to get a drink and seeing Roderich for the first time and instantly falling for him before he even introduces himself
Roderich recognising the man standing next to him immediately and letting Gilbert buy him a drink without trying to be too obvious
Gilbert and Roderich spending the rest of the show together talking. Gilbert feeling like he has someone who actually listens and cares for the first time in a long time
Gilbert asking Roderich to go back to his hotel with him. They hook up and Roderich leaves in the middle of the night
Gilbert going to practice the next morning and finding Roderich taking to Matthew like he hung the stars and understanding what happened and who Roderich is which sets off a string of loathing and miscommunication
“Thank fuck I only have a year here, you’re making my life a living hell” -Gilbert Beilschmidt
Alfred being forced to ban Roderich from practices because Gilbert seems to be intent on getting into stupid fights with him, but can’t do anything about games when he shows up with Arthur (who is dating Alfred by this point)
Roderich trying to act like he’s not completely in love with Gilbert
Gilbert taking a bad hit in the last regular season game and Roderich waiting outside the locker room until the team doctor decides Gilbert can change and go up to the players box
Gilbert walking out of the locker room fully expecting to be alone, only to be wrapped up in Roderich’s arms
Gilbert being forced to watch the playoffs from the players box because he’s too injured to play, and Roderich sitting with him for every game
Gilbert explaining the game to Roderich because he realises while he knows a lot about the players, he knows almost nothing about the nuances of hockey
Roderich and Gilbert genuinely enjoying each others presence and falling into a routine when the team doctors clear Gilbert for play in the semifinals, where they lose
Roderich’s heart sinking when he realises this is the end of Gilbert being on the team and they’re likely never going to see each other again so he leaves before Gilbert hurts him again
Gilbert making the decision to stay on the team and looking for Roderich, and finding him nowhere. Practically begging Arthur to tell him where he went
Roderich is often troubled by the many beaus of his that plague his mind
some 1950s pruaus lovin
Rumors have it that he doesn't smoke, except to relieve stress while a traitor is being taken 'care of'. He hardly ever gets his hands dirty, he's rich enough to keep them clean. His car stays parked right outside the theatre, and any scream and beg for mercy is suffocated by the orchestra playing on stage.
Sort of an art dump of my less terrible art.

Hetalia Siblings Week Interest Check
I was thinking of making a week to celebrate all the sibling relations in Hetalia!
You wouldn't be just limited to Canon sibling relations too:
Canon: It's confirmed in canon that they are siblings (Veneziano and Romano; America and Canada; Germany and Prussia, etc)
Historical/Cultural: Interpreting cultural or historical relations as a sibling dynamic (Slovakia, Czechia, and Poland being siblings due to their shared Western Slavic origin; Estonia, Finland, and Hungary being siblings due to their shared Uralic origin; The Germanics; etc)
Fanon: You've seen characters interact with each other and interpret their relationship as sibling like (Such as France claiming to be the big brother of Europe, The Baltics; Germany and Austria, England and America/Canada, etc)
Purely Aesthetics: You've never seen these characters interact in canon but you think it would be cool to see them with a sibling type bond (found family if you will)
*Of course, there is overlap among these four categories
If enough people are interested, I'll create a separate blog, poll for the prompts, and select a week. Please reblog for a wider outreach <3
Thank you so much for reading all this!
🐣 please <3
🐣 my favorite parent/child dynamic
It's Austria/Italy!! ;w; I just love how it started from pretty much rock bottom, with Austria being just an immature teen who pretty much took advantage of the power imbalance to use Chibitalia as a stress relief and bully him, but somehow as the decades went by and he became more mature, the relationship between them changed more and more until it became a proper parent/child dynamic. Besides, while early strips use Austria's bullying towards baby Feli as comic relief, it is also shown from the start that their relationship wasn't all bad and they also spent some quality time together (for instance Roderich allowed baby Feli to take beaks from chores to listen to his music when he caught him spying, because Roderich himself was pretty much broken inside and craving positive attention and praise). There's also the Sleeping with Sheep Drama CD where Hungary, Chibitalia and HRE are sleeping in the same bed and Erzsi convinces Roderich to stay there with them for some time too and makes him count sheep for her and the kids. How freaking wholesome is that?? ;_;
And like, the way Feli doesn't hold grudges and he's always happy to see Austria!! And how Austria allows Feli to hug him despite him generally not enjoying public displays of affection <33 He must care about him a lot if he allows it. I headcanon that both Feli and Roderich have in common a deep craving for human-like interactions between Personifications, and for this reason they tend to value relationships like that a lot, because that's one of the closest things they'll ever get to the condition of humans.
In the end, Roderich pretty much filled the spot left by Grandpa Rome's disappearance in Feli's life, and even if their relationship didn't start in the best way, Feli probably grew very attached to Austria (and Hungary) on a personal level because unlike Rome and HRE, he never left. That must be extremely comforting for someone with abandonment issues like him, and God knows how awful he must've felt, as Feliciano, to force himself to fight Roderich and Erzsebét for Italy's independence from Austria.
I hc that Feli never misses a year to spend Father's Day with Roderich (and Mother's Day with Erzsi) and calls him quite often to tell him stuff and ask him advice. Sometimes, it even feels too much for Roderich, but on the other hand it does fill his heart with joy that Feli is the kind of person he is. He definitely takes some pride in the way Feli turned out, too.
... I also headcanon that at some point, as a teen and before independence, Feli had developed a bit of an innocent crush on Austria, but that's beyond the point lol
Capitan Wagner, but it's Rod.
She's a goddess, would you agree?
It seems interesting to me that Roderich spent some time in a wheelchair. I have a hedcanon that he started walking again relatively recently, and because of this he has problems with walking.
Couldn’t stop thinking about ze Germans ❤️🩹❤️🩹❤️🩹
Finland is the kind of person who starts getting into Christmas mood as early as November. From late November, however, it’s the period where the Krampus wander around and punish naughty kids, until Saint Nicholas comes to tame them on December 6th. Because of this, December 5th is symbolically the day of the Krampus, right before Saint Nicholas puts them into chains. … Austria kind of feels their influence and can’t stand Christmas-related things before December 6th. On December 5th, his unsufferableness peaks. Not the best day for these two to meet, I bet lol.
Based on this meme, but I got the idea after drawing Austria as a Krampus for Hima’s April’s Fool thing … So, thanks Hima for accidentally inspiring me for something I’ve been planning to draw since April lmao
Akhakasjaf I'm just imagining Austria doing the "Help I've Fallen And I Can't Get Up" like the boomer he is
Hey does anyone have a good headcanon why Austria spent some time in a wheelchair? I think it’s because he fell down the stairs or somethin’.
OHOHOHO >:3c let me dive into the Pirate Spaus AU for you dear @fafayayarhen
So this Pirate AU is in a low fantasy world setting. So our world with fantastical elements. This is important to note because it does impact their story later on.
But in my Pirate AU, Roderich and Antonio married when they were young (about 18). They have a complicated history that started in a stranger than expected manner for everyone around them.
Antonio is trans but at the time of his relationship with Roderich, he did not have the words to verbalize what he was feeling. So he presented and lived as a woman for all of his life and their marriage.
The two met at a party that Antonio's family was hosting. They had their own reputations already at that point. Roderich is known to be a prissy, uptight, unpleasant man who, despite being a wealthy and available bachelor, has not married because he is seen as insufferable by all of the women around him. Believe me, they have tried to get his attention, but he is always either offending them or turning them away without so much as a second thought. Meanwhile, Antonio was known as a shrew that was incapable of ever being desirable to any man in Spain or maybe even all of Europe. He is strong-willed, ambitious, crass, and loves to get into arguments with men. He can be very sweet to his friends and family, but he does not give most men the chance to see that side of him off the bat. Roderich is no exception to this. Roderich insults him the moment that they meet and Antonio being a very proud and strong-willed "woman", tells him off. He expects it to end as all his interactions with men seem to end and for Roderich to tell everyone he is an impossible woman who no man could be paid graciously enough to marry.
But Roderich falls for him. He sees such fire and ambition in his character that he actually finds beautiful. He finds Antonio's passion to be uplifting and his demeanor to be fascinating. So he starts writing to Antonio, begging for a moment of his time just so that he may have the chance to apologize and be around him again. So they end up meeting again and Roderich doesn't insult Antonio, but he certainly makes a fool of himself trying to hold a conversation with him because the man has never felt attraction towards a woman before. This is new to him. So he writes again, asking Antonio for another chance. Antonio, mainly amused at this point, allows it. And this continues for a little bit.
Roderich is normally so well kept together and composed, but around Antonio he forgets himself. And Antonio goes from taking amusement in it, to actually feeling endeared towards him. He's never had someone genuinely show affection towards him like this and in his heart of hearts, he is a romantic. He dreams of being swept off his feet and loved. He just doesn't want to be reduced to being a wife for the rest of his life. But Roderich doesn't make him feel that way. And Antonio makes Roderich feel alive. He has such a way of charisma if you talk to him like he is human. He laughs and he loves to play music too. He has his own sense of humor and he is affectionate and is so peaceful to be around actually.
Roderich is enamored and he even sneaks Antonio out to see the seaside with him because he knows Antonio loves the sea more than anything else in the world. And it’s that meeting that solidifies for Antonio that he loves this man and that he cannot understand how others do not see the person he really is. He sees Roderich and he sees someone who makes him laugh, who listens to him, who respects himself as well and carries himself with an energy that he absolutely adores. The two of them see in each other what nobody else does and they end up falling so deeply in love as a result
They end up marrying which shocks everyone even more than them courting. Because how did the worst possible people on Earth find love in each other?
And it is a really happy marriage full of love and respect. It really is. But Antonio starts to realize
He is not a woman.
He does not want to be a wife.
He loves Roderich more than there are stars in the sky. He has never met someone who he has been able to bond with the way they bonded with each other before. But the idea of being known as and dying as a man’s wife kills him and he can feel a part of himself dying every day after this realization. He doesn’t know what to do because Roderich is the love of his life and he cannot bear the thought of telling his husband he is a man and seeing the love he harbors for him die.
So foolishly, the night before they are to sail to the Caribbean to start Roderich’s music career, Antonio leaves. He doesn’t say goodbye. Doesn’t leave a note or explanation. He just takes a few things and leaves.
Roderich is heartbroken. He is devastated. And now he is known as the man so terrible that even his own wife left him. And despite how angry he is, how much hurt he feels, and how confused he is as to why Antonio left, he keeps wearing his wedding ring and tries to move on with his life.
He ends up remarrying Erzsebet out of convenience and the two of them are friends more than anything. Roderich even confesses to her that he thinks Antonio is the only woman he ever could and would love because he prefers the company of men. The two of them have a respectful marriage but there isn’t any romantic love and Roderich never does properly move on from losing Antonio.
Antonio meanwhile has now transed his gender and is a whole ass pirate. And a very notorious one at that. He is greatly feared and has built a reputation and life for himself that he is quite proud of.
But he never stops loving Roderich.
He wears his wedding ring around his neck and he has his favorite letters from Roderich stored away. The only regret this man has about the life he chose is that he had to give up one with Roderich for it.
He is in competition with Arthur mainly but he also ends up competing against Fionn (Ireland). As of the current day in the RP setting (1685), the three of them are after a fantastical element I made up for the story called The Four Pillars. Which essentially are these locations around the Caribbean where the deities and important figures of the indigenous people there gather. It is said that the man who is able to locate one will be granted one wish from any of the deities/figures. This was well hidden by the indigenous people obvs. They dont want sacred spots touched by these Europeans 😭 And they plan to kill any European that tries because FUCK that noise (dw the Europeans never get to them <3)
But Arthur lands his hands on a clue to one of them and tries to bribe Antonio and Fionn into a truce into finding them for themselves. The group cannot agree to anything and split and so starts their race to the pillars. The first clue leads them to Cuba. And Antonio arrives before the others and being prideful and sure he has nothing to worry about, he decides to explore Havana.
What he isn’t expecting is to find out Roderich is performing in Havana. And the two of them end up slamming into each other when Antonio is trying to race back to his ship. Antonio recognizes Roderich immediately and freezes but Roderich takes a minute to register who he is looking at. But once he does he gets shot back to when they first met and how awkward he was and his struggle to talk to him properly. He tries to chase after him but doesn’t manage to keep up. Antonio gets back to his ship and is like “Okay…so funny story. I used to be married. And my ex husband is over there. And we still have one more job left to do in Havana. Which involves sneaking into the music hall he is performing at”
Antonio gets back to his ship and his crew is like okay we need to get to that music hall so you're just gonna have to cope and figure out how to not be around your ex.
So they decide to go in disguise and find out it’s actually a ball. And sneak around. And it’s going just fine and Antonio is certain he can make it through the job without seeing Roderich. But then he hears him play And Roderich is playing a piece he composed just for Antonio. And that man cannot help but walk into where is he is playing. He is entranced. Roderich finishes the piece and the two of them lock eyes. And despite his crew yelling at him to leave, he can’t help but walk towards him. Roderich is shoving people aside to get close to him. No matter how well Antonio disguises himself, he knows it's him. He will always know it's him.
The two of them meet and everyone is so confused as to why the featured musician stopped playing. But everyone else with him tries to carry on while others figure out wtf Roderich is doing with this man. They have this dance and at first there are no words but then they finally talk and there’s this tenderness and this obviousness that they haven’t let the other go. I actually wrote a little thing for it that had me staring at the wall like “damn…” (I'll attach it below)
But Antonio ends up stretching their time there and cutting it real close just so that he can spend more time with Roderich. Because that’s his husband. Because that’s the man he has loved for years. Because that is the only person who has ever truly understood him. But neither one believes the other is still really in love with them.
So when they sleep together initially, both think it is their only chance at this. And of course Antonio spoils Roderich rotten in bed. That man is a service top and I take no criticisms. But after it Roderich says “I missed this” without thinking and panics thinking he’s fucked everything up. But they end up talking and make it clear that they are still madly in love with the other and always have been.
The problem now though is…they have completely different lives. Antonio loves the sea and his life as a pirate and Roderich loves playing his music. And neither wants to ask the other to give up their life. But they just can’t bear the thought of losing the other again. They lost each other for ten years and they don’t want that again.
:) More to come.
Anyway here's the extra writing of the ball scene
----
They’re dancing. Antonio is groomed and neat and he is in disguise. But Roderich recognizes him. He always does. So here they are now in a grand ballroom with people whispering because Roderich has always been known as the man so unbearable to be around that his own wife left him. But they see him now with a man and Lord has he always preferred the company of men? Is that what this is?
Their hands are pressed together. Roderich notes that Antonio’s are rougher than they used to be. They have seen things he will never comprehend. They have known battles and strife he could have never imagined for anyone, let alone Antonio. But they are rough and they are scarred and oddly enough it makes his heart beat just a little bit faster.
Antonio notices how nervous he looks and thinks back to the day they first met where Roderich, prissy and posh, was so rude he insulted him. Only to turn around and awkwardly, nervously, endearingly admit his affections to him.
He is a new man, not the husband he married. But he lives in him still. He is still a man who loses his senses when they are together. They are quiet, not saying a word, just taking in the other and this moment that they might never get again. Antonio is a pirate now and Roderich travels to play music. They chose their paths long ago.
“I am not the woman you married, y’know. She died the day I left. I have taken her corpse and transformed it into me.” Antonio finally says, ready to turn away and forget that he ever came here to see him.
“I know,” Roderich says, reaching forward to stroke his cheek as he had done a million times before. He stops their dance and he sees the confusion on Antonio’s face. A flicker of hurt. But he watches as those vivid green eyes widen when he kneels before him as he had kneeled before him when he married him. As he had when they argued, or when he was entranced, or whenever he found it necessary to remind Antonio that he loved him. He watched as Antonio’s mouth parted with the feeling of Roderich’s lips on his hand and the sight of him looking up as if he were the promised land,
“You are much more handsome.”
