Nyo Poland and Poland for @felicja-j and @rosentraume 💖💚

it’s ironic that she’s decided to go with the narrative that she’s a victim of “bad friends.” i gave her a year’s worth of dedicated friendship during which i excused all of her bad actions and gave her the benefit of the doubt again and again because i wanted to believe in her. but now i see that she has no desire to better herself. i’m sad for her and for her lack of desire to own up to her wrongdoing and change. i am sad to say that i was manipulated and my kindness taken advantage of to pit me against others during her petty conflicts.

since she wants to continue lying in public.

this is all ellis said to her. essentially: leave us alone and stop trying to victimize yourself.

if you use one cap of me expressing a concern and feeling that FOUR different people (so hey, i might be crazy and as you said crazy gotta crazy, a delusional hysteric megalomaniac i know right? so self aggrandizing to accuse you over a doodle or two! but it ain’t just me, actually, so.) have expressed to me to warn some of my mutuals about it because we noticed a pattern of behavior... then be it.

just an FYI to people in the hetalia fandom: if anna (@idrewacircle/@cactuscola) attempts to befriend you? stay away from her.

she’s emotionally manipulative, vindictive, and an egocentric narcissist. each of these claims i have caps to prove. she has suicide baited us over the past few months and harassed my fiancé and my friends to the point of tears over such trivial matters as not responding to a tweet she made.

she is not your friend. she only wants to use you until she can’t anymore, after you become “useless” to her/don’t respond to her often enough, she’ll blow up on you without warning. she has also stated to us before that she uses people’s insecurities against them when angry, which she has put on full display for us before.

she has consistently harassed me and my friends, regardless of not wanting anything else to do with her, and is publicly victimizing herself on her blog @idrewacircle.

AND A SPECIAL WARNING TO ARTISTS: do not befriend her. her intentions are anything but innocent, as she purposefully attaches herself to artists and attempts to weasel her way into getting free requests. this also includes making artwork for her that may make you uncomfortable. once you’re no longer of use to her or refuse to draw her requests? she’ll move on and find someone else to do it for her.

rusliet shall be… >:3cc

Who is the restless sleeper?

both of them are, but i feel like Lithuania would be more of a restless sleeper than Russia.

Who eats cereal for dinner?

Lithuania… and his raisin bran… yeah. i don’t really see Russia as a cereals for dinner kind of person? if he wants a quick meal, i think he’d rather make something like idk, instant mashed potatoes and  a can of bean

Who wears odd socks?

both of them wear odd socks when they’re distracted or nervous and don’t notice. sometimes they end up wearing one sock that belongs to the other, and they have to be uncomfy all day because russia’s feet are HUGE so his socks are so large on Lithuania / Lithuania’s socks are too small and cut circulation off fhdfgdhh 

Who reads more?

they both read a lot!! and they both like discussing their reads together, Russia especially likes giving the books he read and liked the most to Lithuania so that they can talk about it together >:)

Who prefers a bath over a shower?

RUSSIA prefers baths, Lithuania is a practical man and he prefers showers ‘cause they waste less water… 

Who can knit?

R U S S I A i mean both of them can knit but between the two? Russia is the big knitter. it takes Lithuania a month to knit half a sock. Russia can do whole sweaters in a few days. absolute powerhouse knitting 

babushkivan is real

Who has the weirder laugh?

Russia does and he feels self conscious about it, but Lithuania thinks it’s adorable. 

Who gets more jealous?

R U S S I A 

Who sleeps with a teddy bear?

Russia does! 

Who still uses internet explorer?

i’m laughing because they’re both disasters. both of them,, both of them use internet explorer and validate each other about it

Who is the most sentimental?

BOTH… both are… they’re both emotional old men 

Who can play an instrument?

Russia is the one who can play the piano very well, and a couple other instruments, and he taught Lithuania how to play a couple simple songs on the piano too… sadly tho Lithuania has no talent for it, but it’s fine, because Russia loves to hear him play Für Elise (all wrong, with the wrong timing, but he’s trying) for the 25th time in a row

Who has the worst sense of direction?

they both have a really good sense of direction!

Who cooks breakfast?

oh my Russia does he’s the one who loves making delicious home-cooked meals, baking pies, so he’s the one who cooks breakfast every day as well. 

Who is the early riser?
