Thanks for the ask!

12: Do you read any fanfics and if so, what’s your favourite one?

Yes i read fanfics all the time! My all time favorite is Slovenskych's Diamond in the Rough. (Listen it says something I'm willing to buy a physical copy of a fic.)

Another good one that was one of the first I read is Lithuania: 1940 it's on FF.net. I think I read it the same weekend I watched the show for the first time.

28: If you could ask Himaruya one question only, what would it be?

Will we ever get to see Central Asia in Hetalia?

"What was your thought process and what influenced you to write Feliks the way you did."

33: What are some of your biggest headcanons?

Hmm i got lots, since canon makes it hard not to. Idk what my biggest ones are because at this point I've taken canon deconstructed it and made it something completely different.

Here are a few off the top of my head

1. I have always played with the idea of Feliks being Ivan's cousin or just related somehow

2. Czechia is Jewish

3. I think Spain was particularly emotionally neglectful to his colonies. Even prior to the olive oil thing I just don't think Antonio is all what he seems on the surface. "Wow!" you say someone else other than the Eastern European countries? Yes I'm quite familiar with Spanish history, Art, and Literature because my Spanish teacher was also my academic tournament coach and I loved listening to his stories about things like how art reflects the history of Spain.

4. I think Yao is the person to be the most immune to Ivan's attempts at emotional manipulation. This stems all the way back to the class lecture on traditional Chinese views on virtue and philosophies etc back in my East Asian history class.

Okay now that I'm reading my answers I wish I could take every history class in college because then I'd have so many headcanons. I envy my sister taking Russian history...

Why can't I take classes just to listen to lectures. I don't want to write essays but if you pull me aside I will definitely have a whole discussion about my thoughts on everything I learned in the past 80 minutes.

Hi,

This will be a weird post, but my love for crepes is strong, and I want to spread the word!

So, if you know how to make the batter, good on you, skip forward to the fillings and flavorings.

Batter

For about 10 crepes (and how I prefer to make them).

2 medium eggs

200g flour (1 and a quarter cup)

250ml milk (1 cup)

250ml carbonated water (1 cup)

about 15-25ml neutral oil (so 2-5 teaspoons. I always just eyeball this, sorry)

If you want it to be a bit thicker, heavier replace the carbonated water with more milk, that shall yield you a more French like crepe. This is a more Central/Eastern-European version. If you stick to the carbonated water, it's worth to mention that theoretically you can use any other carbonated beverage, just beware of the sugar content, because it can make the batter stick to the pan.

Okay, so the trick is to whisk the eggs with the pinch of salt, and add a bit of liquid, then a bit of flour alternating, whisking after each addition so you'll get a uniform batter. That's it. The result should be runny, easy to handle with a ladle. Oh, and add most of the oil to the mixture and whisk it well. That way you won't need to worry about it sticking too much.

Add a little bit of oil to the pan before the first crepe, use medium heat, spread the batter thinly, and you should be golden.

Flavorings

Savory version:

I love to put basil and oregano into the batter, or pepper and chili flakes. It will come through, and will make a difference in taste, so choose your favorite spices! And consider the fillings you want to use.

Sweet version:

First of all, you may add like a teaspoon of sugar to the mixture. Maybe a tablespoon, if you like it sweet. Be careful, because it can make the crepe stick to the pan more.

Secondly. Do you like gingerbread? Use those spices. I'm fond of cinnamon, so I always add that to the mix.

Matcha or cocoa powder works wonders as well.

Fillings

Savory:

Anything you like. Almost.

So like with a pizza, you will need a base, be it sour cream, cream cheese, salsa, etc. I think if you are going with a Greek theme, you can't go wrong with tzatziki.

Next you need some toppings. Again, go with what you like, corn, sliced olives, mushrooms, shredded meat, cheese. Don't overstuff your crepe, but don't leave it empty.

Matching with the batter

If you've put oregano or basil in the batter, you might want to go with tomato based fillings. Or you can go the Greek yogurt, green onion, feta and olives rout as well! (Yes, I like to make my crepes a bit Greek)

Sweet:

The obvious choice is fruit, and jams, but coca powder (if you fill it, while it's hot, it will take on some moisture), peanut butter, Nutella, caramel, and plain old cinnamon and sugar works just as well.

And custard! In any flavor.

Okay, I think this is it. I have no authority to give actual advice on cooking, but if you try it, let me know.

I saw some posts about the new slavic inspired wip, and I'm very excited ❤❤❤ but now I'm curious, is it okay to ask where you're from? Sorry if I missed it somewhere on the blog

Hiiiiii!! I'm so happy that you sent an ask about this! I'm so excited to write more about Eastern European myths and culture in fantasy.

I'm originally from Poland, but I have family scattered all over Central and Eastern Europe. I've always been interested in our history, politics and mythologies so I'm really excited to explore that in IF. Not IF related but I also have a fantasy book series planned that has roots in Russian history.

Thanks for the ask!

Share a biography paragraph of an OC! :)

Wow! I'm too excited for this! :)

Um...okay....ah...MAJOR TRIGGER WARNINGS FOR MENTIONS OF MOLESTATION, RAPE, WARS, TERRORIST ATTACKS AND GENOCIDE!

My OC that took me 4 years to create is named Nansia Petrova and is part of The Vampire Diaries universe along with The 100 and Teen Wolf later expends into the MCU and Arrowverse and Outlander in later books, part of the Be Somebody Series.

Nansia Petrova was born on Saturday 15th of May 1999 in Nothern Ireland under the name Vasiliki Athanasia Andoniadou-O'Connell (later named Skorpiti after her step-dad adopts her), twin sister of Thomas Michael Adoniadou-O'Connell, older half-sister of Nicollete Kalina Andoniadou-Skorpiti, and younger half-sister of Declan O'Connell, firstborn daughter of Maria Andoniadou and Colin O'Connell and step-daughter of Dimitri Skorpiti. Nansia is of Greek and Irish descent, her Greek side is separated in parts she's 1/2 Peloponnesian Greek from a small town called Aigio in the region of Achaea in West Greece, 1/2 Eastern Thracian Greek (Eastern Thrace is nowadays European Turkey), her maternal grandfather's family are survivors of the Greek genocide of the 1910s when they were living in their small village called Eksmil in the peninsula of Gallipoli in Eastern Thrace, the village was destroyed completely during the Balkan Wars and World War 1. Nowadays Eksmil is a NATO Army base. Her grandfather's family arrived in Giannitsa, Pella, Central Macedonia, Greece in the 1930s after two decades of being nomads after the destruction of Eksmil. Nansia's mum, Maria, was born in Stockholm, Sweden in 1973 after her parents immigrate first to Holland then to Belgium and then to Sweden trying to get away from the Greek Civil War that was raging and later the dictatorship that tore Maria's mum's family apart for decades to come.

Nansia's parents will meet at a Metallica concern in 1999 in Ireland where Colin will cheat on his wife, Crystal O'Connell (nee O'Reiley) with Maria causing the births of Nansia and Thomas. Maria never wanted to be a mother and since she was forced into the role by both Colin and her family, she hoped for a son but when the doctors lied to her and told her that her son died and only her daughter survived the difficult birth, she started resenting her daughter. That resentment would go on for years in form of physical and emotional abuse and neglect from Maria's side to Nansia. Maria would marry Dimitri Skorpiti in 2003 giving birth to another daughter, Nicollete in 2004. During her marriage to Dimitri, his job in the Army made them live the life of a nomad every 3 to 5 years moving to a new city/town or island. Maria didn't like that life at all so she had many affairs whenever Dimitri would spend the 48-hours shifts in the Army base as it was mandatory at least three times a month or he was gone for a long period of time in Army exercises. These men Maria had affairs with would freely abuse and molest little Nansia and Maria wouldn't mind at all.

Throughout Nansia life when Dimitri became her step-dad he would carry on his family's tradition of training the women of his family in martial arts since they were 4 years old up to 14 years old, at 16 gifting them their first multipurpose knife/gadget and at 18 gifting them their first military-grade Swiss knife. Things that Nansia would use to survive later in life.

When Nansia turns 8 her mum would get sick with Lupus and would need seven surgeries to fix the issues in her legs causing Maria severe immobility later in life. Nansia was left to take care of her sick mum, her baby sister, the household, and everything for the next fifteen years.

When Nansia was 12 years old at school she was almost raped by a bully of hers but everything her step-father taught her saved her life.

In 2016 Nansia is at school during art class and she's listening to the radio where the normal program is cut to deliver emergency news about the Belgium terrorist attack to which Nansia loses her Internet best friend Vasia Nerou and injuries severely a family friend's family. That loss shocks Nansia to the core causing her to have a mental breakdown at the school's bathroom activating her so long dormant witch powers making her time jump to 2149.

There she would spend her life from 16 (a few months shying away from her 17th birthday) to 28 years old fighting in a post-apocalyptic world (See The 100 series plot) choosing to go by Nansia Skorpiti and spend 122 years in cryogenic sleep as a 28-year-old after the earth's destruction only to time jump back once she was awakened back to her 15 years old self's body reliving the same day over again without time jumping.

Having to go through her teenage years with memories of how her world will turn out made her fall into a deep depression and have several other mental anguishes. The radiation she was exposed to during 2149 caused her autoimmune issues making her sick with Hashimoto Thyroiditis and Osteoarthritis Chondopathy at the tender age of 17 years old. No, doctor could figure out how out of the blue she developed such health issues but Nansia pieced the puzzle together very quickly.

At the age of 19 the second time around, Nansia has a PTSD induce panic attack after a childish fight with her friends causing her dimensionally time jump with her not-so dormant witch powers to end up at the Salvatore Academy (enters The Vampire Diaries universe)

During her stay there she comes to learn that she is a tribrid, three species in one body, her mum's paternal side of the family has had a huge secret for decades! Nansia's grandfather's family weren't of the same dimension where Nansia's and her mum's generation were born into, they were from this dimension Nansia was currently misplaced in. Hailing from the Petrova witch bloodline who after Klaus Mikaelson almost killed them all in retaliation to Katherine Pierce running away from him and not completing the Sun and the Moon sacrifice to unlock his hybrid nature, decided to marry into a nearby werewolf pack the Makedon Arkadia one near where the Petrova family were residing. Causing the great-grandchildren of Katherine Pierce aka the grandchildren of Nadia Petrova, to be hybrids of werewolf-witch type. Nadia's youngest daughter Thalia Andonov and her youngest son Dimitri Andonov managed to escape Klaus after he found them once more and slaughter them being saved by Finn Mikaelson who has been keeping a protective eye on them for centuries with his beloved Sage.

Thalia in an attempt to get away opens a portal with her magic and ends up in a different dimension from the year 1555 to the year 1910 in Eksmil, Gallipoli, Eastern Thrace. There Thalia hides in the woods while raising her surviving son. Dimitri, Thalia's son, would become Nansia's great-grandfather.

Nansia learns that there is a family in this dimension the faces of Jeremy Gilbert and Elena Gilbert and her family, she gets adopted by them in hopes of giving her a semi-normal existence as she tries to figure out more about her witch and werewolf sides while going to school at the Salvatore Academy. Throughout her stay she uncovers more family secrets from her paternal side of the family and the jolting realization that Hope Mikaelson wasn't the first tribrid in existence as previously thought, that Nansia and her presumed dead twin brother were the first ones. Making them part Witch, part Werewolf and part Watcher, Watchers were like guardians of the supernatural world and of time and space continuum (I created the species of Watchers).

As she and her newfound friends search for answers both for her and for their Malivore problems (See the summary of Legacies) Nansia renames herself to Nansia Gilbert and finds a sense of belonging as she learns more about family secrets and finds love in places she never thought she would. She embraces her witch and werewolf ancestry changing her name once more to Nansia Petrova in honor of Thalia's family and Thalia herself. As she and Lizzie Saltzman search for her biological dad Colin O'Connell they come into contact with Watchers and find out that her twin brother is alive and living a semi-normal life in a different dimension. And that they had met once before during 2149 because her mental breakdown plus her magic outburst triggered their twin connection triggering his magic making him to dimensional displace himself alongside Nansia.

After many things that I will not say so I won't spoiler the entire plot Nansia and her friends end up in Thomas' dimension. (Now entering Teen Wolf fandom) Only to realize that Thomas is in fact Stiles Stilinski!

After her reunion with her twin brother she and Thomas decide to visit Colin together but their search leads them to New Orleans of Nansia's new home dimension where they meet their older half-brother Declan and the former boyfriend of Hope's mum. Meeting Declan makes them travel to Ireland where they see a dying Colin and meet the rest of the family.

After that, Nansia returns to Mystic Falls while Thomas returns to Beacon Hills and they finish High School and start college/FBI training for Thomas. Five years time-jump Nansia is living with her boyfriend Ryan Clake in Vancouver where she's doing her teaching residency when they learn that they're expecting their first child.

This news causes Nansia to re-think her entire life in that dimension and the fact she left her little sister behind with their abusive mother. That propels her into trying to return back and use her magic to collect evidence and take her mother on trial and to seek justice against everything Maria put her and her sister through. She wins thanks to the family she has created.

After the trial, she tells Nicollete of their ancestry welcoming her little sister into the world of supernatural beings and she learns that Nicolette had already triggered both her magic and werewolf gene making her a hybrid thanks to their mother's DNA. And Nicolette spent a decade thinking her sister was missing and that she was the only one. Nansia and Nicolette bond more as Nicollete is introduced her Thomas and Declan and the rest of the family. Nansia, gives birth to her first child a daughter names her after her little sister, Nicolette.

Nansia and Ryan would later get married and have three more kids, Dimitri after her step-father, Thanasia after her grandfather, and Thalia after Thalia Andonov. Nansia and Ryan would recollect to Mystic Falls from Vancouver when Nicolette will become six years old so she can attend Salvatore Academy and Nansia to also work as a history teacher there.

The end...ish I'm still writing! Hope you enjoy reading and so sorry for the long one! I tried to summarize it!
