the more pantalone lore we get, the clearer it becomes that dottore is most likely the more rational and "sane" one in that business partnership

i feel like yao is someone whose adaptability generally ranks very high on his list of traits... yes he's so fucking proud and it causes 20398492578 internet debacles between nichukor all the time, and yes he has a complex about being treated with the gravity and respect that he thinks he deserves, as a growing world power and person (subjectively objectively) full of age old, well distilled wisdom, but he's also not foolish enough to be wounded at the slightest insult. like his emotional tolerance and regulation has, imo gotten (slightly) better over the centuries, and certain things are just water off a duck's back now. he knows that sometimes he's just playing a part, and doesn't expect nor care for anyone to recognize him as an unfathomably important or vast nation; like he has to live his day-to-day too, and it gets bothersome if everyone was hanging off his every word because they see his age. if you want to see a scrappy post-90/90后 trying to make it in the city, sure; if you want to a see rich young businessman, sure; if you want to see an energetic government official (or a disillusioned one), sure. it doesn't matter to him because the opinions of ordinary citizens are ultimately inconsequential compared to those of the other nations/govts, and he can play whatever part he wants them to see. he'd probably find it somewhat fun to drop references or subtly hint at his age and observe people's reactions when they pick up on it. if someone really disrespects him (couldve been bc he's actually being a dick, but if it actually devolves to age-based insults) he could always just reveal that he's actually wang yao, the personification of your homeland and everything you know, as well as the guy who actually birthed your mom (didn't you know), etc. and he'd probably get a good laugh out of it too lol. what really matters to him is other nation's opinions, and they know enough to give him at least grudging respect. idk i feel like he's just gotten good at tuning out what he thinks doesn't matter in order to focus on playing his part well, to get what he wants from the people actually calling the shots. how or whether his citizens perceive everything that he is, doesn't really matter.

also again; mf definitely isn't the vainest out of all the nations but he sure loves his beauty standards. puts face masks on every weekend despite nations not aging like humans bc he's not risking it...

#not really adding onto prev post but more of my thoughts i suppose #brain stuck on yao unable to move on. anyways #aph china #hws china #musings #also im sorry for being petty(?) but sometimes i think people are too obsessed with moving yao out of the twink category #and into the old man category. which is like. if you want dilfs i can 100% empathize but also ? #idk i just dont get the twink yao dislike ig i think he looks youthful but the first 5 words out of his mouth dispels that notion #IMMEDIATELY. and then you're just left with city slicker old man who gets on your nerves while also looking criminally pretty lol #hetalia #hetalia headcanons #hws

Yao is someone with a face and figure that won’t seem physically strong or intimidating at first glance and impression, but there would be a lingering feeling of “hey, this guy seems a bit off”, but it isn’t limited to potential danger and suspicion.

ok but what if aph spain is eating pomegranates while he’s hurt and the juice spills on his open wounds and it really stings and he’s bleeding out but he can’t tell if it’s his blood on his fingers or if it’s pomegranate juice so he laughs and licks it all off without caring if it’s juice or his own blood

Hello ! Can I request an headcanon for Russia please ? Russia has been in a relationship with a human (gender neutral please) for almost a decade and one day he decides to tell them that he's a nation. After the confession his s/o decides to reveal to him that they're not human but immortal (like they were born in France at the beginning of the 19th century, so they are about 200 years old), how would Russia reacts ?

Thank you in advance, have a nice day ❤

Incoming fluffy post. I don't know why; just this ask filled my mind with clouds.

Enjoy anon~

From the outset of an innocent romance that began when you were in Tomsk. You had seen a tall and imposing giant on the opposite side of the lake looking over at you. At first, his stance toward you seemed ominous. He looked like a legend of a summer Yeti, greyish blond locks slightly rustled in the wind, ever still and watching from the foliage out at other humans that he knows whose lives are transient like that of the mosquitos other small insects that buzz incessantly in his ears. He'd been watching you for a while now since your arrival in the spring to a small cottage home built of pure stone.

Since you were new, you paid him no mind. For he only seemed to appear at random times through the first couple of months. You kept track of the times that you would see the "man beneath the trees" A fun little pastime while adjusting to the new realities of being in a new nation. It was fun and also extremely depressing at times.

You wouldn't be lonely for much longer. Though for one day, he brought his eager cat, who go overzealous and dived into the river. Somehow it swam fast over to your side of the river.

'My owner needs to be bold and get a grip. This is the only way to accomplish it.' As the Siberian Forest Cat speeds away even though it's coat was heavily laden with water from the pristine lake.

From that point on, he finally decided to talk to you. It started a decades-long relationship. That involved long nights walking through secret botanical gardens only he knew about to old war sites that carried history that he deemed essential to him. Some days would be filled with frigid silence after an argument. Others were strange where you only wanted to hold his hand, but not hear his voice. The extreme highs reached the icy tips of Mount Elbrus to the deep lows of the murky black sea. Your type of love is enduring, real, and rare.

Which is why it was easier ...yet still vexing for him because losing you would be a detriment to him, but it could also be spellbindingly exciting. He would no longer have to edit his feeling and speech with you. He could lament about his past and sing you the songs of which he sang while he was lonely.

You were in the same place where you met him when he decided to let the truth soar into the sky.

"Y/N?" He grips your hand tighter than usual. It was a polar bear grip that he had whenever he'd had a harsh truth to tell you. This action pulls you out of your mind and away from the blooming sunflower fields that were only 15 ft away from your vision. You maneuver your now worried eyes up towards his glowing lavender shades. His face is still primarily unreadable. You knew you had to depend on his subtle gestures to read him. You turned your body to face him, and you felt a little wobbly on the grassy ground that had small sprouts, lightly sweeping your snow shoes.

"Ivan."

"I'm a nation. Which means that I'm immortal and I've been alive for hundreds of years. I'm not like you at all but....You're one of the only beings to ever struggle with what love is, and I....." The words came rushing from his mouth like the Neva river reaching the Gulf. He wanted the unpleasant moment to be over in a flash. He know he'd lose you now. You'd think he's crazy, power-hungry, a mons-

A lone hand gently caresses his face to ease his fears. You're unsure of how to react to a confession like that. You don't accuse him of lies or of trying to gain some sort of tiktok fame. You simply just stay silent and allow you smile to bring the sunshine that he's always loved gleaming over his tattered soul. It was a safe haven for him.

"What's wrong sweetheart? If you're afraid you'll lose me because of the confession well consider that fear invalid."

You reached up onto your toes to give him a reassuring cheek kiss. He will in turn accept and let his cheeks go full flush. His face is as red as the last stripe in his flag.

"Y/N?" He asks again as his heart quivers, he's unsure of how to handle the host of new feelings that come along with being as free as a songbird released from it's cage.

If you got Russia of all nations to confess that he’s a nation… Holy Shit that’s a lot of emotional labor that you put into the relationship. Not only that he’s the hardest to get to confess. 

This is a topic that the two of you will have to work out over time. You’re going to be shell-shocked by the truth for a while so much so to where you do leave for a while to work out how you feel. Although during that time you reassure Ivan that you don’t hate him, it’s just a lot to consider. Since he trusts you, he doesn’t freak out about your sudden trip back to your home country. He knows that you need time to process. He’s witnessed you when you’ve been baffled and acknowledges that you need space. Although right before you leave and right after you come back, he will be high-level of clingy. So be prepared for that. You’re the longest stable and HEALTHY relationship he’s ever had so he doesn’t want to mess it up. However, since the foundation of your relationship is solid and not transactional in any manner. His confession to being a nation will draw the two of you together closer.

Neither of you spoke for the rest of the day. You didn't need to. For the sturdy foundation of trust that was already built was enough for you to not worry about what he said but now you were curious as to what the real implications of his confession would be. But none of it scared you or made you anxious. For as long as you had trust that flowed freely between the two of you, nothing else mattered. You grabbed both of his thickly gloved hands and looked him dead in the eyes.

"I love you, Ivan Braganski." as a bold proclamation as if you were about to implement an immediate takeover. You rose to your feet once again and the sprouts seemed to bloom and push you upwards so that you could give him a gentle kiss.

Imagine Antonio having nothing. He’s lost everything that gave him a name, he’s alone because he’s burned so many bridges, and he still refuses to ask for help.

It’s a sign of weakness, a sign that he doesn’t have everything figured out. He wouldn’t dare let anyone see that he is not put together and composed. He would rather rot away than admit that he has fallen weak and needs a shoulder to lean on.

Where he learned this behavior, who knows. Antonio surely doesn’t. It’s always been there and it always will be — the inability to admit that it’s time to let other people in.

He’ll smile of course. He’ll laugh and chat as if everything around him isn’t crumbling to dust. Antonio will wave his hand and ignore his problems and argue that there is nothing at all to be concerned about. He’ll give you a kiss on the cheek and embrace you but you can see the bags under his eyes, the lack of color in his face, and the way that his clothes seem too loose on him. Antonio will wither away and deny that there was ever a sign of it coming.

Of course. A man does not let others know his problems. He bottles them up and keeps them reserved for as long as he possibly can. They are not meant to be touched by the crisp cool air or observed by the average person’s eyes. They are meant to hide in Earth forever, doomed to build up bigger and bigger until they can build up no more.

And then Antonio will explode.

He’ll break into thousands of bits and scatter all around. His words will come out with fury that he has kept secret for so long. He’ll lash out and bite at anyone that dares come near because how could anyone understand what he is feeling? They don’t and they can’t. Antonio is alone and that’s the way it is meant to be.

Even when he tears at his hair or sobs for hours hidden away, he cannot imagine allowing anyone to see him in this state. It’s too dangerous to let anyone see how vulnerable he is, how pathetic he feels, and how much he needs someone to lean on.

Antonio has nothing. Antonio lost all that might have kept him standing tall. All that is left is a man who smiles and denies that he is in pain.

I used to not like AmeBela. Now I can see why people ship these two. In canon, America took Belarus in after the breakup of the Soviet Union. Maybe Belarus just got homesick lol. In my headcanon, Belarus secretly admires America for freedom and rights that she doesn't have? I heard IRL Belarus's president is known as "Europe's last dictator". I need to reread the culture and info books about Belarus. Do I ship Belarus and America as a romantic pair now? Maybe not, but I can see them as friends the least.

tbh i can't really ever see yao as warm towards human strangers. I don't know what the current state of hetalia fandom headcanon pool is, but while i guess you could make an argument that some nations might be more invested in interacting with their populace and having proper conversations/deep connections to some ordinary civilians (even if they're undercover/have concealed identity etc) idt yao is that type of person (at least in modern day)

he goes to buy breakfast from the little stall downstairs 2 blocks away and might hang out for a smoke at the public playground/exercise installations with some old grandpas but generally he's just living among them, nothing special about it. like he'll laugh at memes/douyins and go through the motions of human life, if he's in a mall and something stupidly unfortunate happens to the person 5 before him in line, he laughs and also takes a video if it's actually ludicrous, but overall his attachment to normal citizens is the average human's attachment to a random stranger. 0/10 would not hold the door for a person just because they supposedly make up his existence—much more focused on arriving on time or acceptably late to his meeting to spare the 5 sec it would probably take.

generally tho i feel like it's mostly a result of complicated feelings on nationhood, maybe somewhat from apathy, but also like efficiency and prioritization of his r/ships with other nations over humans that most likely will not remember him or that he will need to care about in the future. this is also partly bc of his personality too I think he's warm to ppl on whims or if that hospitality is extended to him first (cannot imagine him being mean to any old grandmother selling snacks), but otherwise he's just passing through. their existence is separate from his and it's not that deep, compared to his neighbors and others who've spent centuries to millennia interacting with, being shaped by, and shaping him

ig all this is to say that i can't really see him making any kind of ""special"" bond with some human he just met on the street as sometimes happens in fic

#< technically also a dig at myself because i've written him being too occupied w random human stranger's lives before lmao #and of course i think if it's for the plot that's also fair sometimes you just have to have things happen its really not deep #nothing really prompted this i was just thinking and thus spewing words #in a roundabout way this is somewhat because of a post i saw; but it doesn't really relate and it would be really mean to say which post !! #aph china #musings #headcanon musings #hws china #hetalia #hetalia china #this is the most ive written about anything hetalia in like probably at least a year. help.

Almost every of Yao’s relationships with other nations, especially in the past, are a complete mess. Bro just can’t maintain a peaceful and drama-free relationship because he’s just an egotistical condescending jerk who considers all below him (apart from what he deems as exceptions lmao). He does yearn for friendship and company is a way but he was just too unbearable to be around with. Like even his younger siblings(Provinces, SARs, and multiplicities) aren’t really that close. Yao honestly wants to mend some relationships but something always gets in the way. So he’s gonna stay relatively lonely and bothered for a loooong time.

#hetalia #hws china #aph china #hetalia musings #musings #Rome and his rather rocky relationship ended on a bad note #and the only close people he has with him that have been with him since are India and Iran #and they are the ultimate chaos trio #Yao is an arrogant prick who has issues #but also protective and nice #and that makes him interesting #I like to see him sad and hurt lol #hetalia headcanons #wang yao

Ok here are my PENS pjo godly parent headcanons that literally no one asked for:

Portugal: obvious choice would be Poseidon, as he does have a laid back personality and….. sea, but I see him more as a Dionysus kid. Wine, grapes, and snakes are all what I associate with him. Also, the origin story of Portugal as a nation itself was that it was founded by a child of Dionysus (I think) so that would make a lot of sense.

England: Athena kid all the way (stubborn, intellectual, cunning) I can literally not see him as anything else, though Hecate is another option because of her magic and crossroads and stuff.

Netherlands: is there a god of money (or tulips. Or weed) I’m forgetting? Haha jokes aside I think there is a possibility of him being a hades kid (riches, loner, isn’t swayed easily). Possibly a child of Athena as well, as he’s very pragmatic.

Spain: hmmm…. Probably Apollo, tbh. Sunny, cheerful, kind of cocky, social butterfly. But for some reason I also associate him with Persephone or Demeter (it makes no sense it’s all vibes and I also like him with plants, specifically pomegranates)

That’s all folks
