[Russia]

Headcanons by Fluffy

Россия Edition

+ Russia can actually play the violin, cello, and piano quite well.

He is actually quite interested in music and the arts, particularly classical music, but no one ever really bothers to ask. He's generally seen as the clumsy uncultured oaf despite this being far from the truth... except for the clumsy part. He's sometimes pretty off-balance.

+ Russia is only abusive when drunk.

While manipulative, he generally would not hurt anyone on purpose. He regrets every time he's hurt someone else, especially someone he cares about and often times will hurt himself as a punishment. That said, he has hurt very many people and has done many a cruel thing. Sometimes he's done cruel things because he truly thought they were for the best or because he was forced to. Very rarely were they ever with the intent to cause pain unless he was drunk.

Unfortunately, he used to be an alcoholic and therefore was drunk a lot... and therefore was at risk for being violent a lot.

+ Russia is a recovering alcoholic.

For the last twenty years, he's been trying to cut back on alcohol and not be dependent on it. He still drinks but he tries really hard to avoid getting drunk. Unfortunately, this is easier said than done. He also currently unable to quit drinking entirely unless there is no alcohol available. He will not drink beer. Ever.

+ Russia smokes, but used to smoke heavily during the USSR.

Now he's down to smoking on rare occasions, but retains the smoker's hack every now and then. He also snores very loudly now.

+ Russia is somewhat fat.

He got a bit of squish around the middle. Deal with it. He is also out of shape for things like jumping jacks and running.

+ Russia not a rapetruck.

He would never want to put anyone through that trauma because he knows what it's like.

+ Russia and Poland are cousins of some sort.

The -ski ending in Russian names implies Polish relation. The -sky ending does not.

+ Russia's entire goal in life is for just one person to love him.

This isn't any specific person, but in general. He finds it hard to count his sisters because he feels more like they love him from protection and resources. He feels like he'll never be loved because the Golden Horde told him that no one ever would, that he was worthless and something only to be used. He's been trying his entire life to try and find someone that would love him but he constantly goes about it the wrong way because he truly doesn't know any better.

+ Russia's father/grandfather was potentially Sweden.

Viking warriors played a major part in the organization of the early Slavic tribes in what is modern day Russia by helping found the nation of Rus' which is historically seen as the first "Russian Nation." However, he remains unaware of this so he picked a generic male name to derive a patronymic from, ending up with "Nikolayevich" because even he thought "Ivan Ivanovich" sounded dorky.

If he were to ever find out that he was related to Sweden and the other Scandinavian nations, he... actually probably wouldn't know what to do with himself. He'd likely become very depressed and wonder why the members of his family abandoned him and his sisters... and then kicked him across the Steppes for the amusement.

+ Russia tried to kill himself after the Romanovs were murdered.

He tried to hang himself with some rope, but the rope snapped and he has ligature marks on his throat. He was not sad that the tsar died, but he was supremely depressed because the children and the tsarina were killed in his name.

+ Russia was physically and mentally abused by Stalin.

This is just part of what broke his sanity and part of why he had a hand in Stalin's death. Stalin has at least once put a gun to Russia's gun head and threatened to kill him... and for the most part of his time in power, Russia could not stop him.

+ Russia can eat scones.

This is because I like to think he has an iron stomach. He eats borsch without a problem, what does that tell you?

+ Russia is a trollking when given a computer and Internet.

If you've ever been in the bowels of the RuNet... than this doesn't need explaining. Otherwise, if he found a place like 4chan or /g/, he'd be all over that crap.

+ If he were to have a porn collection, no one would ever find it and he would never acknowledge its existence.

He's very good at hiding things and is more than content to let people think he's entirely innocent in that regard, despite being celibate.

+ Russia has a soft spot for France.

When growing up, as a young empire, he wanted to be just like France: powerful, cultured and respected. He loves French culture and French food, except frog legs, but if France makes them for him, he'll happily eat them because he likes seeing France happy.

+ He develops temporary insomnia during elections.

Elections are stressful, especially when there are a bunch of protests and confusing opposition in the political spheres. This insomnia sometimes leads him to do random things like just showing up at people's houses to say hi in the middle of the night because he can't think of anything else to do and his frazzled brain says it's okay.

+ He loves his sisters despite the things they do.

Just sometimes, they do things he doesn't agree with or otherwise cause him trouble, but that doesn't mean he does not care. Even when he has to be distant from them, he wouldn't let anyone hurt them... or anyone else in his household (former household) if he could prevent it.

+ He causes himself pain after hurting someone else.

This only happens when he feels remorse (which is generally) and when it's someone he cares about that he had wronged. Depending on the severity, as he measures it, he will change something about how causes his own pain. Due to potential triggers, the specifics will be omitted.

+ He keeps random body parts in jars in his attic.

He didn't collect these himself, just acquired them from medical schools over the years. He keeps them out of a morbid amusement with them. There's one on his book shelf next to the bear skull. Every other week he switches out the jars with another one from the attic. His particular favorite is... the heart from an obscure musician who died in an accident.

+ He is terrified of Finland.

Due to the heavy losses sustained by the Soviet Union during the Winter War, especially to Finnish sniping, Russia has learned to be very wary of Finland, sometimes outright terrified especially if Finland is armed. There was a reason one of the Finnish snipers was called "The White Death" by Soviet soldiers. Even still, he has a soft spot for Finland after having lived together once upon a time during the Tsarist regime.

+ Sometimes he gets lost in his thoughts.

Most of the time, it's harmless daydreaming with him just standing there staring as his mind wanders around elsewhere. Unfortunately, sometimes, he remembers back to things he'd rather not, such as many of the abuses suffered as a child at the hands of nations who'd been larger than him at the time for instance. The effect of his daydreaming can range from nothing more than an incoherent blank stare to curling up in the ground and sobbing depend on what exactly his mind is forcing him to relive. Sometimes, the memories are even of harm he has done to others, especially if it was something he didn't mean to do or had no control over.

When asked about these episodes, he will say it's nothing. If he does fess up to anything being wrong, the most you will get is something about how he deserves it. It's generally hard enough to get him to emotionally open up as it is, but if pushed about anything that is wrong with him, he will emotionally shut down until he feels safe again.

+ Russia can't swim.

He never learned how due to the rivers and lakes he grew up around being frozen a good deal of the time before territorial expansion and will likely drown if dropped into a body of water because he also doesn't float so well.

+ Before Lenin and after Golden Horde, Russia used to stutter as a psychosomatic symptom of post-traumatic stress.

Lenin, however, helped him put himself back together, at least somewhat, and regain the confidence in himself that he needed to stop stuttering... which other nations liked to make fun of back in the day when he wasn't nearly as intimidating.

[gilbertbeilschmidt]

I'll add details later, my brain doesn't want to has descriptions right now.

+ He's the most insecure character in the series.
Being stripped of his nation, and therefore his identity, he has incredibly insecure and resentful of the other nations. They have something that he no longer has-- and the Allies were the ones who stripped him of it.

+ When he says he's awesome, he's really only trying to convince himself of it.

+ He is the only nation who knows what actually happened to the Holy Roman Empire.
Not even Austria or Hungary knows what happened. This goes for whether Holy Rome died out of the battlefield and Prussia found his remains- or whether he found HRE alive and took him in in secret, raising him to become the nation now known as Germany. Headcanon says the latter.

+ He can speak and read Russian fluently.
After being trapped with Russia on the other side of the Berlin Wall for nearly 40 years, he gradually learned the language.

+ He has no idea why he's still alive, and is constantly afraid of dissapearing.

+ He only annoys the other nations so that they have no choice but to remember he's still there, so that if he dies/when he dies, it won't go entirely unnoticed.

+ He never once has blamed Germany for anything that has happened, but instead blames himself.

+ There are two main reasons why he goes out and gets drunk on a regular basis.
1. He's out partying with friends. In particular the BTT.
2. He's using the alcohol as a pain reliever.

[talonxstrike]

Urp, sorry for the derp. Will edit with more once I get them typed out.


- Canada has an identity crisis: This stems from multiple factors. You have the times of the French colonies, to the take over from the British. Then you have present day where French-Canadians are attempting to seperate themselves from Canada. In short, he really doesn't know who he is. And while he will never really openly admit it to anyone or seek advice, it does bother him at times.

- He cannot see what England sees, but he does believe.: A bit of a silly headcanon, if you will. Canada can not see the creatures and spirits like England, but he does believe in them. A sort of child-like fascination with them. Canada may not speak up often, but he will defend England in his own little way when people make fun of him for his 'friends'.

- His invisibility is due to him not being a memorable individual: Simply due to the fact that Canada isn't memorable. How many times can one say they've heard an extraordinary story from or about Canada, turn around and explain it to someone and them not caring? It's a similar story that he lives every day. Another part of this headcanon is that his invisibility is a manifestation of his state of mind. That once in his life, he believed it would be better if he had disappeared.

- As a French colony, Canada was sick often: French colonies did not fair well during the colonization of Canada, especially early on. One source states that the province did not exceed 2,500 people. France, hardly being around and unable to to stimulate immigration (mostly due to war) was unable to assist in anyway besides look after him whenever he got the chance. The total immigration to Canada from 1663 to 1713 was 6,000 people. This is one of the reasons I believe France is seen caring so much for Canada.

- He Stutters: This seems to be an annoyance to some on Tumblr secrets. But, it's my belief that he does stutter quite frequently. It disappates slightly around people he is comfortable with and worsens when he is under stress or extremely uncomfortable with a situation.

- Snapping takes a long time to happen: It has to be more than just because someone didn't notice him, or he's been trampled on. In fact, Canada is one of those people who will rage quietly to themselves and say that he is going to act out, but never does. Given time, sometimes his emotions will over-flow and that can occasionally lead to passive-aggressive behaviour or an occasional outburst. There are only so many buttons you can push.

[greece]

-Greece didn’t really appear until Alexander the Great came into power when he started sort of uniting the Greek city-states.

-As a kid, Heracles was always hanging around the scholars like Archimedes and Aristotle. They interacted with him only sparingly and for a while they swore he was one of the god’s children since he didn’t age. Ancient Greece would usually have to force him to leave them be since he was always asking them questions.

-Ancient Rome was in love with Ancient Greece. Ancient Greece didn’t really like him much. Greece didn’t like him much and that intensified when he started ruling over Ancient Greece.

-Byzantium was like…Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome’s kid basically, since he was remnants of the Roman Empire but the culture was Greek.

-Ancient Greece did not disappear when Byzantine Empire emerged. She was still very much alive (although she wasn’t as strong as she had been). So during that time there were three different personifications of Greece.

-Ottoman Empire killed both Ancient Greece and Byzantium. By killing Byzantium he basically killed Ancient Greece and all that was left was little Greece. This is the one thing Greece won’t ever forget and never forgive Turkey for.

- Under the Ottoman Empire, he was a horrible child. From the start he was trying to get out from under Ottoman’s rule. That being said he was rather scared of him at the same time and occasionally would pretend to be a good little nation. Occasionally. Sometimes. Maybe.

-Ottoman Empire was abusive. But Greece was kinda asking for it. During the Greek War of Independence he was especially harsh and if it wasn’t for the others stepping in, Greece probably would have just died.

-Greece forgets all of his cats names except for the one he named with Japan.

-Greece is bi

-Greece’s favorite thing to do when he’s bored is prank call or call and insult Turkey

-Heracles thought Turkey was dead after the Ottoman Empire collapsed. It wasn’t until sometime during World War II that he realized he wasn’t.

-Greece isn’t really fond of the Italies. He likes Romano a little better than Feliciano. That’s mostly because the Republic of Venice had a lot of Greek territories for a while and wouldn’t give them up. Also, Romano isn’t as loud and annoying. This isn't to say that he hates them or has a serious dislike for them, its just that he finds them annoying.

-Heracles likes America because they can bond over heroes—America with Superman and Heracles with all the mythology. However, he does find him to be nosy and wished he wouldn't be so quickk to get into others business.

- Russia and Greece are actually pretty good friends. They have similar political views on certain things, like the Baltics. Not to mention Greece has a fondness for Russia's weapons.

-To cheer someone up, he gives them a cat. If they don’t want the cat then he lends the cat to them for a day anyway.

[America]

So I’m finally posting on here, haha. I feel like some of these might seem totally ridiculous or lame and others might be practically canon. I also might have some of these mentioned in my almighty weird list of HetaOni scenarios, but I’ll post ‘em anyhow. c: I’ll update ‘em, too. Maybe.

America doesn’t actually need glasses — America has never once needed glasses. As a matter of fact, his eyesight couldn’t be any more perfect. He put them on after the Mexican-American war because he still felt like everyone was underestimating him for being a ‘baby nation’. He wanted to look and feel more mature, and wearing glasses was his way of doing so.

He loves ice cream so much because of George Washington’s influence — George Washington loved ice cream, even going so far as to order two-hundred dollars worth of it during the summer of 1790. Having looked up to him literally as ‘the father of his country’, America grew to love the dessert as well. (For the record, two-hundred dollars for ice cream is roughly equal to ninety-six thousand in this day and age.)

Deep down, underneath all the pride he as for his country, he hates himself for what his development did to Native America — A day doesn’t pass where it doesn’t cross his mind. It’s one thing he’ll never stop feeling heart wrenchingly guilty about.

It bothers him when Cuba talks about him like he does — Though they haven’t exactly been on good terms since the Cuban Revolution, he still sees him as something like a little brother.

Somewhere among the collection in his attic, he still has paintings of British kings and members of parliament — He doesn’t know what to do with them, because he can’t bring himself to throw any away or maybe bring them to a museum, even if he feels like he probably should. The same goes for anything he has from his colonial days. The paintings in particular, however, he keeps carefully stored away with the paintings of his presidents. Each time he sees that one of them has lost more of its color or luster due to time, he can’t help feeling somewhat depressed.

He has never once not noticed Canada — Sometimes he’ll play along for the sake of amusement, but there’s never been a time where he hadn’t seen him and acknowledged him being present. Even as colonies, when he’d suddenly stop paying him mind, he hadn’t forgotten he was there. It was simply the doings of his short attention span.

He is horrified of thunder storms — They scare him even more so than spirits and the like do.

He has been kicked out of the White House for being too much of a distraction — Some days, America can sit still and work alongside his president, focusing for hours at a time. Other days, he’s off the wall and loud and can’t be contained. These are the days when he gets the boot. Often afterward, he’ll wander off unfazed and play with kids at a park.

[southitaly]

+ Is a close relative a Greece--I would go as far as to say a brother (half brother?), seeing as how the southern portion of Italy was first inhabited by the Greeks (making Mama Greece his mother). I still don't understand why Rome is only his grandfather in canon when he might as well be the father...

+ He gets along well with elderly people. They find him absolutely charming for some odd reason; curse words and all.

+ He also gesticulates when talking; a tendency to speak using the hands. Even if he’s holding onto something, he’ll set it aside to make sure his hands are all freed up for the frantic waving or table pounding, etc

+ Romano's body doesn’t handle cold weather well--he'll fall sick quite easily.

+ Continuing on the line of 'health' since his economy is traditionally much worse off compared to the north, in general, he's often under the weather.

+ When riled up enough, Romano can get quite passionate—not romantically speaking in this case.

+ Is your stereotypical crazed Italian driver with little disregard for pedestrians. His favorite mode of transportation happens to be his red vespa. Her name is Gemma, Gigi for short.

+ He’s a big fan of jazz music and soap operas.

+ Despite hating the mafia, he's kind of unconsciously picked up on and can exhibit 'mobster' like tricks of the trade. He'll get pissed off if called out on this, however.

+ Doesn’t really like animals, but can tolerate cats due to the large stray population in Italy (as well as Venenziano's love of them).

+ A lot of Sicilian words spill over into his Italian, which can be confusing for a speaker that doesn’t understand.

+ He’s trendy and fashionable (when he can afford it); sunglasses are his favorite accessory

+ He is pudgy around his tummy from all of intake of food with little exercise to show for it. It really doesn't bother him, so long as he can fit into his clothes. And wouldn't mind having his love handles squeezed.

+ He's afraid of falling in love and/or getting close to other people because it terrifies him to allow himself to be that vulnerable with someone else. He's already been hurt and disappointed too many times for his liking--he's ten times more sensitive than he lets on, in this sense. Though he has a long-time standing, adorable, school boyish crush on Belgium.

+ There is definitely some ambiguous Catholic guilt going on with his sexuality. Women are the default and standard.

+ From the start, he was never an advocate for WWII and the rise of fascism. He was the first to switch sides to the Allies when the opportunity arose when they invaded Sicily. He worked in favor of his people by means of the Italian resistance. His hatred for much of what that war encompassed pretty much bears itself out in his intense dislike of Germany.

He blames Germany for brainwashing his brother, helping destroy his country, and holds a grudge for the Nazi army using Spain's Civil War around that time as a testing ground for war (the bombing of Guernica being a prime example.)

+ Romano isn't a particularly crazy or wild drunk. He's very melancholy and tends to ramble on without his usual defense mechanisms.

+ Can be surprisingly clever and extremely hardworking.

+ Is seriously, without a doubt, a Food Elitist.

+ Takes his religion seriously--the Vatican practically lives in his backyard, he can't help it. He goes to mass regularly and does all his prayers. This is a topic, however, that won't really come up with him unless someone brings it up first.

[More later, perhaps.]

[finland]

((Okay, so there may be some potentially sensitive material here. Just to give you all some fair warning.))

+ Finland does not like golden crosses.
The yellow cross on Sweden’s flag is said to represent the golden cross King Eric the Holy saw in the sky when he landed in Finland during the first Swedish Crusade. That whole situation is by no means a pleasant memory for Finland and to this day he can’t stand the sight of golden crosses. He’d also rather not look at Sweden’s flag any longer than he has to, considering all of the memories it drags up. However, no matter how much it bothers him, Finland won’t breathe a word to Sweden. The other seems to view the memories in a fonder light and part of Finland can’t bear to be the one to rob him of any bit of joy.

+ He actually doesn’t hate Russia.
Yes, they have a long history that isn’t entirely pleasant, but Finland actually felt a bit freer under Russia’s rule. Unlike Sweden, Russia encouraged him to speak his own language and engage in his own culture. He was given a lot of freedoms other conquered territories weren’t and was even allowed to remain Lutheran. Finland also remained free from many of the obligations that came with being part of the Russian Empire, such as the duty of serving the tsarist armies.

+ It was his time with Russia that fully convinced Finland that he could never go back to Sweden.
As mentioned above, Finland was treated relatively well under Russian rule. He was allowed to flourish, and things didn’t even start to sour until the 1890s, when Russia began to get antsy about Finland’s loyalty should war break out. Russia’s attempts to “Russianize” Finland, which kept going until Finland won his independence, was what finally made Finland realize and accept that he could never be happy under another nation’s rule.

+ Finland doesn’t hate Sweden.
But, he doesn’t love him, either. It’s complicated, to say the least. Some part of Finland still cares deeply about Sweden, maybe even to the point of loving him, but Finland refuses to act on it. He’s terrified that if he acts on those feelings, he’ll let things go too far and end up exactly where he started: under Sweden’s thumb with his culture suppressed.

+ There’s a tiny, cruel voice in the back of Finland’s mind that tells him everything he feels for Sweden is a direct result of Stockholm Syndrome.
It was a rather inappropriate joke made one time by another nation, but Finland heard it and thought about it far too much. That one comment has severely damaged Finland’s confidence when it comes to dealing with his feelings toward Sweden, and he doesn’t feel like he can go to anyone for any sort of help. Most other nations are just as screwed up as he is (if not more) and no human could really hope to understand what’s going on in his head. He doesn’t want to make any moves in his relationship with Sweden until he’s sorted the mess out, but at the same time he’s sick of running in circles and is only an internal argument or two away from saying “Screw it” and throwing all caution to the wind. Finland refuses to discuss any of this with Sweden, as he doesn’t want to make the other feel guilty about it. And then the whole cycle starts all over again.

+ Finland speaks both Swedish and Russian fluently, but only uses Swedish for certain, special occasions.
Sweden was never too fond of Finland’s native language, and all but forced Finland to speak Swedish. Even today Swedish exists as a national language in Finland, but he refuses to speak Swedish unless he wants to make a very important point to Sweden. If he wants to leave no room for interpretation, he’ll grab Sweden by the tie and spit out whatever he wants to say in Swedish and then leave before Sweden can get so much as a word in edgewise.

+ There’s a part of Finland that’s always been a bit jealous of Norway.
Norway was Sweden’s first love, and Finland was often shoved off to the side by Sweden the second Norway stepped into the picture. He used to wish he meant half as much to Sweden as Norway did, but between the suppression of his culture and Sweden eventually handing him off to Russia, Finland always felt like he was only second best. There were times when he could fool himself into thinking he had taken Norway’s place in Sweden’s heart, but that was almost always immediately crushed by reality.

((More will be added as they form.))

[brazilyan]

Let's see if I can figure out a few Brazilian headcanons here...~

• She looks up to England as a role model: Historically, England and Portugal have been BFFs for centuries. Brazil got to see England kicking ass and taking names for most of her time as Portugal's colony, which inspired her. He also introduced her to soccer. Still, Brazil's too proud to admit any of this.
  
  
• She believes Heaven smells like coffee.
  
  
• As a colony, Brazil was prone to biting: Now that she's a slightly more mature adult, Brazil kicks instead of bites. It's kind of an improvement?
  
  
• Part of her rather intense dislike of Canada is based in jealousy: She thinks he's managed to do very well for himself without having to worry or do any hard work - and that he's avoided trouble by hiding behind his louder, more obnoxious brother.
  
  
• She views America as her 'Eternal Rival'.
  
  
• Brazil herself is bi.
  
  
• She's also a bit of a pervert, though not quite in France's league.
  

[the Netherlands]

..these are only a few. :3

- He is intimidated by both Denmark and Norway, especially by the latter. It's because of the Vikings who "visited" him between the 8th-9th century, where he was still an eight year old child, living in poor lands. A land consisting of forests, meadows, beach, and little peaceful villages scattered around.

- His scar is inflicted by Vikings with an axe, specifically, Norway.

- He never hated Spain. The Netherlands does realise that being under his regime made his own country grow and it wasn't against Spain or the king of Spain he was going to war with. It was against the ruler over his country who was against his new adapted religion, protestantism. In his national anthem it's even stated the Dutch have always honoured the Spanish king.

- In modern day he is not on good terms with Japan. He still hasn't forgiven him for the invasion of Indonesia and blames him entirely for the fact the Indonesians revolted right after World War Two.

- He doesn't care what Belgium and Luxembourg do. They're their own nations and he has not the right nor the want to interfere. If they get in trouble it's their own fault. He would help them in the end if they asked though, because of guilt. He refused to help Belgium in the first world war and their already unstable relationship suffered a lot from it. He made a promise to himself to not turn his back towards the both of them anymore.

- Canada is nothing more than a good friend. He'll never forget how much the young nation did for him, even though they practically only got to know each other in World War Two. He never paid attention to the Canadian before.

- He doesn't go to church, but still believes in God, although his country has one of the highest atheism rates in the world.

- He also has a silver cross necklace, which he seldom wears.

- His scarf is a remembrance to William of Orange, who was the man to finally free his country. It's made of cotton, in stripes of white and dark blue, the colours of William's family crest.

- He eats pretty healthy and prefers fruits over sweets. However, he can't drink his coffee or tea without at least three spoons of sugar.

- It's always been diplomacies over wars. Why fight when you can make profit without a scratch?

- Since the 1800's, being under French rule, he's very suspicious of foreign food and will refuse anything to eat that looks abnormal to him.

- A story about tobacco. He learnt about tobacco from the Spanish, who introduced it to western Europe. In the Ottoman empire it was used for healthcare and not knowing what dangers tobacco brought with it, he naturally started using them in the Eighty Years' War. Not knowing he would eventually get addicted, developing bad condition and no matter what, the smell wouldn't wear off. He blamed the fact that he was running out of breath more quickly on the fact he grew older, and never once did he himself notice he had the smell of tobacco surrounding him. After all, he was used to it. At the end of the 17th century, he started smoking marihuana. Netherlands managed to quit with the drugs, but until this day he still smokes, around five cigarettes a day, sometimes more. He has really bad days when he smokes up a whole pack of twenty. There have been several attempts to quit completely when they learnt in the 1990s smoking was very bad for your health, but so far they all failed.

- If you look closely to his hands, his fingers turned slightly yellow brown due to excessive smoking. Even though he washes them every day quite long with green soap, it's been too many years to get the colour disappear completely.

- His teeth are also slightly yellow and his breath; well. Well.

- He coughs a lot.

- His hands are often cold.

- He suffers from acrophobia.

- The Netherlands hates flying with a passion and is still nervous every time he boards a plane.

- He speaks Dutch, Frysian, English and German fluently, Spanish and French semi-fluently. His accent in the Romance languages is really thick, though.

- Due to long tradings, he does remember a few words in Japanese and Indonesian.

- He really loves the little animals like rabbits, dogs, cats and sheep. The fluffier the better.

- He prefers walking over biking. It clears his head. He also runs around three, four times in a week to keep up his condition.

- He draws and sketches really well, but can't paint. He never colours his drawings either.

- He admired Vincent van Gogh.

- The flowers in his garden are always in pastel; white, blue and purple.

- His favourite colour is blue, not orange.

- His eyes are blue with a greenish hint, his hair is closer to light brown than blonde. He has some grey hairs.

- He thinks he's straight, but actually he's homosexual. The day that he'll realise that will maybe never come.

- He suspects he has Asperger himself, but doesn't want to take an official test.

Everyone else is doing it...

Iceland headcanons

♔ His eyes are a deep blue, not purple; however, they may look purple at times due to the lighting of a room.

♔ His hair is not white or silver, it's a pale, sandy-gray color like volcanic ash. Again, the hue changes depending on the light he's in.

♔ He's a bit of a brat, but doesn't know it.

♔ He will stay in the shower until all the hot water runs out or someone vehemently flushes the toilet.

♔ He does not like the taste of alcohol.

♔ He loves video games - console or P.C, and avoids upgrading household devices like the fridge, oven, or washing machine because he'd rather buy a new game or gadget instead. He even taught Mr. Puffin how to use a PS2 controller.

♔ He has a hard time trusting people because in the past, he blindly trusted Norway only to have the other leave him and Denmark behind one day when he entered a union with Sweden. It was around this time he grew cold and despondent, and developed many insecurities about himself; in a way, they helped him rationalize why people left or would leave him at some point. It was lonely on his island, so he went about making friends with the humans that lived there, but whenever he would grow close to one, they would die out just as fast. He only allowed Denmark to get close to him for a while.

♔ He does not like calling Norway his brother because he is still sore at being left behind.

♔ He has a mutual respect for Denmark because he was the one who allowed him to become an independent nation.

♔ He wishes that he were a bit bigger (body-wise) like Denmark or Sweden. Iceland has no muscles to speak of.

[jules]

Here are my head-cannons for the adorable Sealand!

+Sealand loves England, he wants England’s respect and approval more than anyone else’s. And the reason why he kind of adopted himself into the Nordic family other than the obvious ”they are awesome” was to make England jealous. But he'll never ever ever tell or show England any affection, because he feels that England doesn't like him.

+Sealand can talk to fish. Or at least he thinks he can.

+Sealand believes that he is the spirit-reborn of the lost city of Atlantis and would often pester Greece to tell him all about it!

+Sealand is an avid-reader. When he’s not repairing his fort, he’s reading books, comic books and mangas…He's currently reading Percy Jackson and the Olympians and he fancies himself as Percy son of Poseidon!

+Sealand thinks that all of the nations are super heroes. And the only one who admits it is America.

+Sealand has a crush on all of the female nations and Thailand when he’s cross-dressing ( Peter has no idea of this of course).

+Sealand follows around certain nations more often than others, Canada being the one he follows the most, because he can easily trick him into doing things! (In fact Canada just plays along with whatever Peter has planned.)

+Unlike England, Sealand gets along with all of the British Isles. He loves his uncles and his aunty!

+ Whenever he's on the mainland, Peter sometimes goes to play in the public parks with other kids. Those are the only times he ever wishes he wasn't a nation.

+Sealand likes France because for a weird reason the French nation spoils him with sweets and great food!

Sverige Edition

• Sweden is the older brother.
  
  Denmark is the younger brother, but Sweden keeps the knowledge to himself since he knows it upsets the other nation. It's just not worth the argument.
  
  
• Sweden is Russia's father.
  
  Or grandfather, depending on the universe. Regardless, he made sure not to let him find out since he left very early on, having really only stuck around to help out the found of the first kingdom of Rus'. Russia is also not his only child, but most children were from the viking ages where he was still rather unruly so he tends to rather none of them know their real origin. Sometimes, though, it is debatable who is really the ancestor in some cases among those spawned during the viking years.
  
  
• Denmark is why Sweden needs powerful corrective lenses.
  
  His brother nearly blinded him once with his axe and despite being a nation, his eyes never quite healed right and now he needs glasses to even see around his home.
  
  
• Sweden drives a minivan.
  
  It's a white one.
  
  
• Sweden currently feels no need for romantic attachment to anyone.
  
  Even Finland. He feels more like his role in loving others at the moment is that of a family's love either as a father figure or as a brother, even to those not literally in his family but within his sphere of influence. To be honest, he's alright with that. He will still call Finland "'M wife" only out of an attempt to be comedic, which tends to fail.
  
  
• Sweden would break his vow of pacifism for those he cares about.
  
  Despite what he leads everyone to believe about his viking years being long behind him, he merely keeps that part of himself sleeping in reserve just in case he should ever need it. He hopes that he never will need it, but if anyone were to lay a hand on, say, Sealand, there would be hell to pay.
  
  
• Sweden carries a med-kit for Denmark.
  
  Since he feels like Denmark is prone to getting himself hurt, Sweden always makes sure to carry a compact, yet advanced med-kit with him just in case something happens.
  
  
• Sweden is a homosexual.
  
  This is kind of sort of canon, however this is the headcanony part, while homosexual he tends to not really act on it, at least not these days. This is partially related to his separation from romantic relationships and he feels more like it's more important to sleep with someone you care about as opposed to sleeping around indiscriminantly. He's always preferred other men (not that he's never slept with women because well... things happen) but he never took the passive role due to stigma that he would have incurred once upon a time for that.
