Wrote this for day 1 of rare pair week! @aphrarepairweek2021
There wasn’t a day that went by that Emil wasn’t amazed by his boyfriend. Between his charisma, intellect, and ability to do and say the most random things, there was never a boring day. For example, Alfred built a replica of the white house out of waffles last Wednesday. Emil was too impressed to be upset about the mess Alfred made in the kitchen.
One of Alfred’s coolest tricks is his knack for languages. English, French, Spanish, Portugese, you name it. He can speak it. Except for Icelandic…
Emil doesn’t mind translating for Alfred, he actually quite enjoys it. There’s this satisfaction that he gets from having this ‘one up’ on his boyfriend. But of course, Emil acts like a moody teenager constantly. At this point it’s involuntary, he just approaches every situation with sarcasm. And so, to avoid “annoying you my dude” Alfred set out to learn Icelandic…
“... and after we come back from the restaurant and the carnival, I’ll give him the big surprise!” Alfred took a big breath. “So, what do you think?” Matthew sighed on the other end of the phone, “I think it’s sweet, but it seems like a lot of work. Also, Emil isn't really a “big plans” type of person. Don’t you think he’d just like to spend an evening in?” True, Emil doesn’t really like people. But he would love this surprise. “Aw come on Matt! He’ll love it!” Alfred was beaming. He really out did himself this time, this is going to be the best anniversary yet!.
Emil had on a pair of black slacks and a gray button down. Alfred had told him to wear something nice. He looked at himself in the mirror, “This is nice enough, right?” He shrugged, it doesn't matter what he wears as long as he thinks he looks good.
He heads downstairs. “Hey good lookin’! I haven’t seen you bust out the slacks in a while.” Emil blushes slightly. “You told me to look nice… wait… are you wearing that fancy cologne that Francis got you for Christmas?” It was Alfred’s turn to blush. “Yeah, I was saving it for special occasions.”
The two headed out to this fancy restaurant downtown. It was nice and quiet, which Emil liked. On the way home, the pair stopped for ice cream. Alfred got some rainbow sugar-sugar ice cream, Emil got black licorice. It was late by the time they got back home. The two settled in to watch one of those cheesy Hallmark movies.
When the movie ended, Alfred pulls Emil onto the back porch. “You have more planned?” He asks. Alfred flashes him that brilliant smile, “Of course! This is our fifth anniversary!” Emil smils, he loves this dorky man. “Close your eyes!” Emil closes his eyes.
“Okay, you can open them.”
Emil gasps, Alfred to standing there with a bouquet of flowers. But they're not real flowers. Each flower is made of black licorice twisted and shaped into a flower. It's personal and sweet. Only Alfred and his family would do something like this for him. "I love it Alfred." Alfred smiles.
Then, he says three words in Icelandic. Emil stops in his tracks and just stares at Alfred for a moment. "What?" Alfred repeats the phrase. It starts as a chuckle and escalates into loud, belly laughter. Alfred looks very offended and confused by Emil's reaction. Emil finally caught his breath enough to reply to Alfred. "Do… do you know what you just said" Alfred huffs, "yes! I said that I love you!" Emil laughs harder, "No Al, you just called me a cow." Alfred looks mortified, "what...I…I didn't mean too! Matthias told me that is how you say I love you." Emil smirks, "He lied." Alfred runs a hand down his face. "I'm so sorry Emil. I messed it all up." Emil put his hands on the side of Alfred face. " you didn't mess anything up. You planned a wonderful evening. This gift was so thoughtful, doesn't matter is Matthias who I am going to strangle later messed it up. I love all of it, just like I love you."
They kissed.
i like to think that nor and denmark share a braincell when it comes to annoy ice
based on this
Some mochis I drew on the train
I was inspired by memes about boy in pants (UK MEANING OF PANTS OK???) and Icelandic film named Fúsi (eng. Virgin Mountain). (highly recommend you all to watch it.🌚)
...So let your schemes alone, Adore the rising sun, And leave a man undone, to his fate, to his fate, And leave a man undone, to his fate.

At the moment when Glam fell the moon shone forth, and Glam turned his eyes up towards it. Grettir himself has related that that sight was the only one which ever made him tremble. What with fatigue and all else that he had endured, when he saw the horrible rolling of Glam’s eyes his heart sank so utterly that he had not strength to draw his sword, but lay there well-nigh betwixt life and death. Grettis saga, Chapter 35. (and a few sketches, which I LITERALLY LOST cause I forgot to save em)
because of my term paper... I really enjoy reading Grettis saga again and again.
Nordics as this?
First born is Denmark, second is Sweden, third is Norway and fourth is Finland.
Where's Iceland? Getting them a therapist.
I've been looking at a lot of face family fanart lately, as well as some Tomato Gang fanart. I did notice that, for the second one, there wasn't as much fanart of in the Western fandom (but there's a ton in the Japanese fandom).
That made me wonder, which Hetalia Family/Group is the favorite of the Western fandom?
The poll of the week was a bit late this time, sorry about that!

I've decided to make a weekly poll on my tumblr!! Yayyyyy! Today's question is this so go wild I guess
My parents don’t even expect anything from me, and I’m still a let down.
— Iceland, probably
Yandere Nordics x Angel reader
To say that the nordics would be devastated would be an understatement.
Mathias and Tino would cry and scream, breaking everything around them in a fit of rage. It would be troubling for someone to see, Tino especially, in this state from how joyful and sweet the two usually are. It’s best to stay clear of the two whenever they first find out their s/o has left.
Berwald would be trying his damn hardest to keep it together, his stern glare looked as if It could freeze over hell. Though, from the small cracks on the coffee mug he’s been holding for the past minute shows he’s about to break.
This would be the only time you would see Emil not complaining about his older brothers comfort at this time. Though Lukas would be showing a strange expression on his face as he holds his younger brother close, comforting him with soft words to not let him worry further.
Out of the five Lukas would have sensed that you weren’t completely human and thus having to look through all of his many mythical books would further his obsession with you. Figuring out that you were an angel would have him immediately trying to see if he could remove your powers or status quickly, knowing that any day you could leave them.
With the help of the other four nordics, it would only be a matter of time before he would have all the ingredients needed in order to perform the ritual in bringing you back to earth
~Nordics nightly routine~
✨✨✨
Norway-
Norway had the most complex nightly skincare routine and you can't convince me otherwise. the kind were he has to start it an hour before he goes to sleep since it takes so long. but my god does it pay off, guys face looks like it's been crafted by the gods-. And he always makes sure to check in to a very annoyed Iceland before he goes to sleep each night.
Denmark-
Denmark doesnt have a skin care routine per-say but he does have a slightly complex way he does his hair before he sleeps. And you know he's out here buying this expensive shampoo and conditioner just for his hair, I mean, how else is he going to get it that good in the mourning? probably has his hair in a towel as he sleeps, "so it doesn't get damaged!". The only time he doesnt do this is when he passes out from drinking to much at the bar-
Sweden-
Sweden has somewhat of a routine before he goes to sleep but it mostly includes him doing chores around the nordics house (mostly just having to DRAG Denmark to his bed since the decided to pass out right in the middle of the hallway, AGAIN). But he mostly has to clean the saw dust that he tracks into the house from his latest project in the garage. My man doesn't get enough credit for keeping this house together.
Iceland-
Iceland isn't the type of person to have a consistent routine in anything, nor a healthy sleep schedule. though he is trying to get with the trends, with all these skin care stuff. Give him a chance he's trying. Norway did find some of his skin care bottles and tried to help him but Iceland denied ever having one, but from the way his face turned red you could tell he was lying. After that Norway started nonchalantly leaving small ads for skincare items in his room, Iceland always gets annoyed with his brother for it but will never say that he keeps the papers in a drawer.
Finland-
Now Finland is the only one that can hold a consistent healthy sleep schedule out of all the nordic 5. His nights usually consist of walking hana down the street and totally not slipping on the smallest ice patch known to man, along with checking to see if there were any ice hockey matches playing. And he typically likes to end his day with a well deserved vodka.
✨✨✨✨✨✨
