HAPPY 10TH BIRTHDAY DANGER DAYS!

Ne ne Papa hdtpm

It's back 😔👌

Belarus is a small post-soviet country in eastern europe, closely ro Russia. It doesn't have a lot of resources as oil or gas. Belarus' population, of the whole country, is about 9 million people. It is nowhere near Russia, USA or China in terms of global influence and power, BUT!!! It does not mean that a lot of injustice is not happening here. Right now. Today.

I know tumblr is not the best place for a political discourse. This app/site is very-very USA-centric and let's be honest "western" world, especially on the other side of the Atlantic ocean, rarely really knows what's happening in eastern europe nor does it care.

Belarus has the same president for the last 25 years and Alexander Lukashenko won again, over 80% of votes, BUT!! the this year's election was rigged. As always. As not only in Belarus, but also in Russia. And people didnt agree with it at all and the protests all over the country were started. There was no violence from the protesters. There were no pogroms, no property damage, no fights to provoke the police. But the police attacks the protesters, they use tear gas and explosives to disorient people. Several people were injured. They buils brricades to protect themselves from the police brutality.

Misconception: He’s lazy and unmotivated

Reality: He’s extremely strict, neat, and places great importance in his appearance. Nonetheless, on occasion, he has been shown to grow bored easily when faced with the prospect of work.

Ex: He trained America and his military during the American Revolution.

Ex: He keeps his clothes spick and span.

Ex: He gets bored and sneezes when he’s given a book on how to socialize with people. 

Misconception: He’s full of himself, so he doesn’t need anyone.

Reality: He’s painfully lonely.

Ex: He never married.

As such, he’s brought to tears when he sees Austria and Hungary as a couple on Christmas.

He unconvincingly rationalizes to himself that he’s happy to be alone.

This is repeated in his character song Mein Gott!, where he claims that “Being alone is too much fun.”

Ex: He misses Frederick II, and hasn’t found someone to fulfill this strong [but nonetheless implicit] desire for companionship.

It’s even said that he grows depressed at the mere mention of Fritz. Ironic considering that he has a picture of him on his nightstand.

Notice how Prussia also calls on Fritz during Valentine’s Day, and once again attempts to convince himself that he’s happy to be single.

Misconception: He’s overly-confident.

Reality: Prussia’s narcissistic, but this stems from being extremely insecure about himself.

He’s always trying to gain power for self-reassuring purposes. This reassurance acts to discount his insecurities over being weak. His use of the word awesome, then, is more defensive and reparative than it is an exercise of confidence.

Ex: He associates fancy clothes with strength + brags to bolster and reinforce confidence within himself.

Before his country grew in strength, notice how he falsely tries to convince himself that his clothes are still cool, despite them being worn down. The important difference is that he doesn’t make use of the word awesome. This a time where his confidence and morale is low. Awesome for him is equated with strength.

Bonus Facts:

He’s noted to feel like an enclave as opposed to an actual nation.

He’s an incredible older brother:

Ex: He reads Fairy Tales to a dying Holy Rome, and is revealed to be heartbroken after the Napoleonic Wars.

Ex: He immediately steps in to protect young Germany when he’s born.

Ex: He’s very supportive and encouraging of Germany, despite teasing him a lot.

To be honest, given all this, I find it redundant for Prussia to refer to himself as awesome.  

Me: Be a good friend and don’t take a screenshot.
