Nicer or more correct German would be “Wir beide gegen die Welt” or maybe even “Wir, gegen die Welt”, but this is cooler. Anyway, it means “Us against the world”.
Brandenburg-Prussia and later Kingdom of Prussia was a weird little union. Their territories weren’t connected and Prussia wasn’t part of the HRE, while Brandenburg was one of the elector states - it’s a whole mess basically. And yet, in the 18th century Friedrich II tried to take on half of Europe with that mess of a kingdom, and that seemed to work out for him. Sort of.
So here is Brandenburg and Prussia, seeing themselves as the underdogs. Whether they were however, is questionable. So I tried to go for an ominous vibe and went with one of my favorite styles for painting!
Japan Premier will be held! !

Dear dumb diary –> lgbt pipeline
I love this headcanon
• Sweden is allergic to pollen, so in the beginning of summer time he takes eye drops and pills to keep his eyes and throat from swelling up
• Finland speaks fluent swedish and can easily switch from swedish to finnish. But he hates that everytime he visits sweden, people ask if it would be easier for him to speak english.
• Finland can have pretty aggressive mood swings, and every time he gets angry and furious, Sweden just stands there and let Finland to cool off. They barley argue with each other.
• All the nordics wear a christian cross somewhere on their body. Norway wears one in his hair, Sweden & Finland wears necklaces that match, Denmark has a tiny tattoo of the cross on his wrist, and iceland wears a bracelet on his right hand.
• Denmark loves swedish cinnamonbuns but he can’t make them as good as Sweden. He asks him to make him a bunch once per week and Sweden happily makes him a batch.
• Norway is actually very outgoing and extroverted. he is quite easy to talk to and he always says what’s on his mind. The reason why he seems very distant and unsociable is because he doesn’t want people to be in his shadow. he wants other people to be able to say what’s on their heart before he interferes.
• Iceland listens to a lot of Green Day. his favorite songs are King for a Day and Give me Novacaine
• Sweden is very traditional when it comes to holidays. He makes Christmas magical, Easter unforgettable and Midsummer rememberable. All the nordics celebrates their holidays together with Sweden and Finland.
• Norway is really good at fishing (which both Denmark and Iceland find really weird) and he loves to hike and be out in the wild. Norway and Iceland have a tradition to hike for 3 days every year in the spring time. Iceland hates it.
• Denmark won’t admit it, but he cried when he watched Titanic. Iceland makes fun of him for it.
• Finland cried to P.s I Love You and he kept thinking about for a week and told Sweden that he isn’t allowed to die. Not as long as Finland is alive, at least.
• Iceland cried to Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame
• Norway cried to The Green Mile. So did Iceland, but he doesn’t admit it.
• Sweden has only cried for one movie, and that movie was Hachiko. Finland isn’t allowed to talk about it because Sweden thinks it’s embarrassing. Finland thinks it’s sweet.
• Norway speaks fluent German and Greenlandic. He can understand Swedish just as good, but since their languages are really similar he never bothered to learn the correct grammar and etc.
For the lovely @strudelcreme , hope you enjoy 💛💛 and I am sorry if it sucks. ❤️ There are no gifs for this boy 🤣
"You have got to be kidding me."
"Right back at ya, shortie."
Gerold looked over to (Y/n), with the deadliest glare he could muster. His relationship with the Basterds poison master was…strained to say the least. They rarely saw eye to eye, which made the current situation quiet an inconvenience for them. The situation in question was that, there was only one sleeping bag left. (Y/n) groaned aloud. Why was it that it was always here stuck in these situations? Was this some sort of godly practical joke? A hand clapped on both of their backs.
"So, you two got stuck with the last one. You gonna share?" Donny asked with a grin. Gerold cursed himself for sharing some information with the Staff Sergeant, and by the shit eating grin on his face, he knew what Donny was trying to say. "Nah, I'd rather sleep on the ground." Gerold immediately answered, earning a chuckle from Donny and an offended look from (Y/n). "Oh come on, Hirschberg. It's only one night, maybe then you'll finally get some-" Donny began, before Hirschberg hit him in the gut with the back of his gun. (Y/n) shot him a confused look. "What the hell was he on about?"
"Nothin', just the whole Donny nonsense."
Gerold walked over to the sleeping bag. It looked good, for being a used one. Comfortable, too. Gerold, however, laid next to it. "You can have it." He said simply. Hirschberg wasn't the type to let anything go, so this surprised (Y/n). Taking small strides, she got into the bag and motioned him to come over. "It's going to be cold tonight, and you need something to cover up." (Y/n) reasoned. Gerold stood silently for a moment. He could already feel the brush of cold against his exposed skin. But the thought of being so close to her was far more terrifying. Nevertheless, he moved into the bag with her, muttering a small thanks in the process. " You really didn't have to." Gerold said. (Y/n) chuckled softly, "Like I hate you too, shortie but I am not gonna let you freeze to death."
Gerold smiled, suppressing a laugh. "You ain't half bad, (L/n)." He commented. "You ain't bad yourself, Hirschberg." A comfortable silence came over. It was then that both (Y/n) and Gerold heard the whoops and the yeahs! of the others. Gerold groaned loudly. "The hell are they hollering about?" (Y/n) asked. Gerold didn't know how to answer her. He wanted to confess and get all the shit off of his chest, but...he was afraid. He heard (Y/n) yawn next to him.
"Whatever, I'm beat. Goodnight, shortie."
"Goodnight, (L/n)"
Once he was sure that (Y/n) was asleep, Gerold pulled a little away, and whispered toward the others. "You trying to get me in trouble?" He seethed. Smithson laughed, along with the others. "We're just trying to help." He answered. Gerold scoffed and turned back. His eyes fell on (Y/n). She looked so peaceful like this.
Maybe one day...one day he will have the guts to confess but...not tonight.
