Okay….. I am tired of seeing one-dimensional characterizations of Belarus and I know that happens with all characters to some extent, but it is particularly bad with her. So here are some cool facts I found about Belarus that make her a more round character:

-she is really into the occult and is a great fortune teller

-she can see ghosts but Latvia says she’s so intimidating even ghosts would avoid her

-she may or may not speak Polish

-she zones out all the time. Her mind will just go blank and she’ll stare at something (like her bow) for hours on end. One time she watched white noise on tv for three hours. Occasionally she’ll have a jolt realization that the day has ended and night came without her noticing

-she is very strong, both physically and of heart and will, though the latter only shines through in negative ways

-she’s “extremely vulgar” in the calmest, most casual tone of voice

-she’s been into rock music lately

-she’s a good acrobat. Her gymnasium is her pride

-America took her in after the Soviet Union collapsed and she thought only bad things came from associating with Russia

-Russia values her opinion and /they can get along peacefully/. Belarus is pretty attached to Ukraine. Ukraine worries about her

-she has an EXTREMELY negative view of humans

-she thinks philosophically about death, specifically her own, a lot. Since she knows she will die eventually, she tries to appreciate the moment

-she loves her traditional clothing

-she is perpetually annoyed by American ghosts, who apparently don’t even bother hiding, like a normal ghost would

-she prank calls Lithuania. And you know that thing where someone calls you and doesn’t say anything, they just breathe into the phone? She does that to Poland

-when she lived with America she completely sapped that guy of all his endless energy; she made him so tired he started trying to get rid of her

“I’M INTERESTED” @askbadlydrawnasianstigers

Can you I ask what the guys look for in a s/o and also please add what they need in a relationship because sometimes what we want is different from what we need. ❤️❤️❤️

I’ve done what they look for here, so without further ado…

What the 2ps need in a S/O

2p America: Someone who can keep him out of danger when adrenaline tells him otherwise.

2p England: Someone who isn’t a perfectionist, because he puts enough pressure on himself as is.

2p China: Someone who will support and encourage him with dropping his vices, rather than someone who currently shares them.

2p France: Someone who will gently get him out of his comfort zone, and who can easily empathise with others.

2p Russia: Someone with a “work hard, play harder” mentality.

2p Canada: Someone who can get him out of his unhealthy habit of socially isolating himself.

2p North Italy: Someone who will calmly tell him when he’s overreacting and when his temper is boiling over something trivial.

2p Germany: Someone who can take responsibility when social situations get out of hand, even if they’re having fun themselves.

2p Japan: Someone who will call him out when he’s being unnecessarily rude.

2p South Italy: Someone who isn’t materialistic and can give him a reality check when needed.

2p Prussia: Someone patient enough to help him through his struggles with mental illness.

2p Austria: Someone who will read into/entertain his interests even if they aren’t shared.

Fantasy Wardrobe: Gowns

Skirts, ball gowns and chitons. Fantasy fashion is seen more often on women than the men so we focus on their clothes more. Sorry for this bible of a post.

Under the gown

Stop that dirty mind. These are the structures that hold out the gown to keep it the shape desired.

Farthingale/verdugado: were a series of hoops stitched into a sheath of material. This was worn under the gown in order to plump it out.

Pannier: Unlike to the farthingale, these were set at the hips rather than all around the body. These were popular in the 17th and 18th centuries. They extended the width of the skirt keeping the front and back panels flat.

Crinoline: This is a structured petticoat made to plump out a skirt of a gown popular in Victorian times. They were popular at the mid-19th century.

Petticoat: This is an underskirt worn under a skirt or a dress. Modern ones are made of layer after layer of tulle or netting.

Chemise/shift: A long underdress made of light material worn under the corset, kirtle and gown.

Top of the gown

This portion of the gown covers from the shoulders to the hips/waist.

Bodice: This part is the where the gown covers area from the neck to the waist.

Halter Neck: The halter neck’s straps go up the shoulders and are fastened at the neck, exposing the shoulders and having a plunging neckline.

Plunging Neck: The neckline makes a V from the neck/shoulders in the direction of the navel.

Empire Line: This style was popular in the Napoleonic courts. The bodice ends below the bust line and here the skirt begins flowing.

Boat neckline: This neckline runs from one shoulder to the other like Meghan Markle’s wedding gown.

Sweetheart: This makes a loveheart shape over the bust.

Scooped: a round neckline

Square: a square neckline

Sheer: When a see-through piece of material is sewn over the top of the gown.

Sleeves

The sleeves of the gown are just as important as the rest of it. Again variations lead to a wider sense of imagination.

Cold Shoulder: The sleeves begins at the top of the shoulder while the rest drapes behind, allowing the arm to be seen through it. Also called Angel sleeve.

Batwing sleeve: This sleeve has a deeper area for the arm and tapers thinner toward the wrist. Also called a magyar.

Bell sleeve: The sleeve runs down the shoulder and flares out from the elbow

Bishop sleeve : This sleeve is loose from the arm but tight at the cuff.

Cap sleeve: This only covers the top of the shoulder.

Fitted point sleeve: The sleeve tapers tp the back of the back in a point.

Gigotor: This sleeve is wide at the upper part of the arm but narrows at the elbow and wrist.

Hanging sleeve: This sleeve that slits at the side or front or the elbow, allowing the arm to peak out. Popular in mediaeval times.

Juliet sleeve : This sleeve has a puff at the top and runs down the arm or leaves it bare. See Snow White.

Lantern sleeve: The top of the sleeve runs straight and then puffs out between wrist and elbow

Poet sleeve: This long sleeve is fitted tight at the shoulder to elbow flares at the elbow and wrist.

Wizard’s sleeve: This sleeve runs from shoulder to wrist opening there and draping toward the floor with points.

Skirts

The shapes of the skirt vary. Try different shapes with your world to give a feeling of variety and depth.

A-line: This skirt flares out from the bodice with a gentle slope almost like the letter A.

Ballgown: This skirt stretches from the bodice in a wide shape. Think of the massive gowns on Big Fat Gypsy Wedding.

Bell Jar: Similar to the ballgown only the hem slightly goes in making it look like a bell.

Drop Waist Silhouette: This skirt begins below the hips from a loose seam. Most popular in 1920s.

Mermaid Silhouette: The gown is tight and fitting from the neck down to the knees of shins where is flares out like a fish’s tale.

Trumpet Silhouette: The skirt flares out from the mid thigh region.

High-Low skirt: the skirt is short at the front and long in the back. The mullet of gowns if you will.

Train: This is a sweep of material that trails behind the lady as she walks.

Examples of interesting historical gowns.

Sack-back gown or robe à la française: Popular in the 18th century. This style has the fabric gathered and streaming from the shoulders like a cape. The gown is open at the front to show the stomacher and petticoat. Here panniers will be worn, the wider the richer the lady. This gown often had ¾ length sleeves.

Robe à la polonaise: This is a gown with a skirt that is cutaway, draped and ruffled at the overskirt. It can also be fitted.

Robe à l'anglaise: Similar to the francaise, the back of the gown was pleated into a cape like train. The gown was open in front to show the petticoat and the sleeves reached the elbows.

Tudor Style: This gown has a square neckline which may or may not include a sheer. The sleeves an be fitted to elbow and then billow out, lined with fur or are fitted at the elbow and wrist, showing the chemise underneath.

Chiton: This dress is often seen in Roman or Greek art. The Doric version was made by draping material over the body and fastened at the shoulder by clasps The Ionic chiton version was draped about the body and pinned at the waist.

Civil War Gown: These gowns featured drop shoulder sleeves, had low necklines, and ridiculously voluminous skirts. All this had to have petticoats and crinoline to keep the shape.

Tea gown: These gowns were seen in 19th century clothes. They had little form or structure and were often made of light fabrics.

Russian court dress: This gown consisted of robes worn over a tablier, with a boat neckline and cold shoulder sleeves.

Watercolors are cool

Jokes abt Yao's age that have him protesting- "I'm n o t older than cheese!"

he will sniff with great dignity, and be like, “cheese-making was invented at least 7,000 years ago. i, born of the yellow river, the great giver of life and death, am only 4000 or so.” 

(tho ngl, in the confucian tradition, seniority confers prestige! maybe our old man is torn in between being mad at the kids talking about him being an ancient codger and lying that he was well, actually there to see the invention of cheese. or the wheel, even!)

“I don’t.”

Oh i could talk about happy germ boy all day! I always sort of imagined that while he’s very awkward and slow to open up to people (especially when under stress I.e all the time cause it’s him and he can’t catch a break) once you break down his armor he can be a real goofball! I love the idea of him and Prussia joking around with each other like brothers usually do, it’s real cute.

Some times post the San Valentine strips…

Aka after Feli fixed the whole misunderstanding with Germany and had a good talk with Rod…

@currymuttonpizza is a wonderful Austria and I love doing weird stuff with them. My Feliciano is 200% supportive of Austria’s feelings for a certain german and really wants to help him out, insert weird shanenigans and headcanons. And someday I will write a proper essay on why I headcanon so strongly that Feliciano has huge commitment issues after the whole HRE fiasco. 

Just a lazy couple of old men ready to enjoy a nice show.

Sir Lord Arthur Bloody Kirkland is also very British—and very unused to long drives :^) ‘what do you mean this is a 14 hour drive?!’ he squawks, as he watches the unending fields of wheat slide past the window. he has seen nothing but fields and fields of wheat and 4 walmarts for the past three hours. arthur thinks longingly of the Eurostar. ‘surely there is an interstate high-speed rail or flight we can take’ he pleads, futilely. alfred raises his brows (’long-distance high-speed rail? this isn’t europe, old man’) and stands firm— how else are you going to see and experience the landscape of the country if not by driving through it? suck it up, Lord Father. 

they while the hours away by rehashing everything from the 17th century to the battle of yorktown to the suez crisis. ‘i can’t believe you threatened to crash my economy like that’ arthur complains, while eating out of a bag of cheese fries. alfred beams. ‘everything i do in life is to get back at you for giving me the middle name fly-from-fornication.’ this father-son roadtrip is a Test of Endurance.

gilbert has totally used his drill-sergeant voice on german children who are jaywalking.

gilbert is an actual german grandmother tbh. albeit, possibly a german grandmother who also jaywalks at 4am when there are no cars 

me, as a fuckin dumbass I am, thought that "the uni" was european union ;_; so, you cook for yourself? chinese soups or something like that?

I’m not allowed to use the dorm kitchen after I tried making popcorn…

Feli and Alfred are culinary arts majors, so they invite friends over to each other’s dorms at least once a week to eat. We’re usually guinea pigs for their assignments.

Other than that, I usually eat out or order in.
