I haven’t posted in like a year sorry

Fanart for @apollo-soyuz1975 of America and Russia waltzing around, I loved drawing this and I love his works, you have to read them guys trust.

Series is on ao3, this fanart is for part two chapter 3 (“Ivan Braginsky and His No Good, Very Bad, 1990’s Economy”): https://archiveofourown.org/series/5610541

-intensely fixated on certain things (fritz & his diary for longterm obsessions, military fashion in the short term, could probably even go so far as to say he is intensely fixated on being cool or at least reassuring himself that he is cool)

-explicitly stated to have poor social skills and trouble reading the room (has to read a book on how to socialize, innappropiately blunt, doesn't seem to pick up on the Very Disinterested signals veneziano gives him)

-extremely methodical and routine-based and also obsessive (is never late for anything, cleans/keeps everything neat obsessively, and has written in a diary every day for like a thousand years or whatever)

-stims by petting things especially anything that seems soft (gilbird, raivis, anything cute really)

-vocal stims (fucking. 'kesesese.' 'niyo niyo.' 75% of his character songs devolving into him randomly going off-key and making weird noises and humming for no reason)

-on that note, poor volume control

-incredibly good at military strategy (small details / pattern recognition / routine and planning)

-compulsive spending

- i am sure germany's diet consisting mostly of potatoes and sausage is because he grew up eating whatever prussia fed him so. safe foods etc

mayhaps even audhd...

Russia please move your capital to Sochi I’m sure there’s tons of sunflowers there

Last (and first) fanart I did in like 30 minutes and I don’t really like it since it was so rushed and I keep freaking out when it keeps getting notes, because it wasn’t done to my full potential

Also saying “magic metal pipe of pain” makes me unreasonably happy. I need to watch the english dub after I’m done watching all seasons, my friend and I have been switching between Russian sub/dub, but like they have accents and little phrases in their own languages in the English dub that’s so cool! Russia saying “da” gives me the will to live, thank you Jerry Jewell

Anyway have my fanart :D
