#berlitz

My headcanons for Germany's dogs. Blackie's a shepherd, Berlitz is a hovawart, and (what I assume has to be) Aster is a great dane. On account of the fact that they're all drawn like muppets and the height Berlitz is at depends on the frame he has to fit into, this is obviously just what I like to believe.

Hovawarts are supposedly very sociable dogs, though also receptive to people's demeanour and quick to become assertive if they sense the opportunity, which is to say that Gilbert ranks below Berlitz in the pack hierarchy.

That up there is the only picture I think exists of what I assume to be Aster, from a card game of all things. At first I thought there were only two dogs, but it's canonically three. Aster is named after a type of flower!

“Hetaclones Prologue : Dear brother”

"His usually blue icy eyes were trying their best to hide the sadness, but his clenched jaw was betraying him. The final destination was near, and the three dogs, all silent, had now left him to surround the stone plate on the ground, at the back of the seemingly abandoned garden. Only their tails were moving slowly, their head and ears down.

It’s at this moment the yellow dot, that had awakened during their trip, began to flap his little wings, emitting a heartbroken chirp as he recognized the plate.

Like thunder, the bird flew directly on the epitaph and cried his soul out, causing the nation to tear up a bit as well. How was he gonna talk now? Berlitz whined in his direction, and came to comfort him, making him feel again a pang in his heart. He crouched down to caress him, feeling the warm touch of his compassionate dog.

Now, he had regained enough courage to place solemnly the bouquet of cornflowers and to greet his brother properly.

“Hi Gilbert...”

It had been 25 years now. It had been this long since Prussia had disappeared, not even letting a body behind to bury, right after the Collapse of the Berlin wall. But even now, despite all this time, Germany just couldn’t stand his absence." **** From my fanfiction "Hetaclones", belonging to the very already garnished Axis Powers Hetalia fanfiction! OuO Took me forever I swear! (I'm always 2 years later on fandom haha) I've always wanted to actually draw my Hetaclones fanfiction, instead of writing it, but it was impossible for me in the time and I really had to let the story out of my system. I've however never abandonned the idea of making illustration to it! So here's the prologue and then we will see If I manage to do all the chapters haha! The dogs and race are my choice : Berlitz is the cream labrador, Aster the german sheperd and Blackie the dachshund. I've always feel that Berlitz was the most ancient of them and was more sensitive to, his owner; but Blackie is more affectionnated and energic, and since it was difficult to put him on the picture because he's a very small boi; I put him on Germany's lap whereas it should be Berlitz. *** If you're interested in reading it : On DA : https://www.deviantart.com/chibiclem/art/Hetaclones-Prologue-868122226

💕I spent wayyy to much time thinking about this💕

Berlitz:

He would probably introduce Berlitz to the baby first because he is extremely well behaved

Berlitz will probably just watch both of you with the baby for a while just observing

Then in a week or so he’ll start to warm up to the small little human

Then it’s like a switch flicks on in his head and he realizes the baby is now part of the family!

Becomes protective of the baby- but not so protective like he would snap at you or Luddy if you held him/her

Berlitz really just loves to lay down next to the baby and watch him/her play

He’s basically like a furry guardian

Sleeps in the babies room- right next to the crib

Blackie:

Has the hardest time adapting to the change because he’s very needy

Is very confused as to why this tiny little human is getting more attention than him

He would never lash out at the baby though

But sometimes he does bark if he gets a little frustrated

Blackie will spend a lot more time cuddling you and Luddy than he normally would

Once the baby actually gets older (like can sit up on its own)

He becomes a lot more excited

He follows the baby around carrying the babies favorite toy (which sucks for you and Ludwig because you’re always cleaning dog slobber off of them)

Aster:

The only dog Ludwig is actually worried about

Aster is very hyper and she is always running around the house and sticking her nose in places she doesn’t belong

She is definitely not allowed in the babies room (cause she’ll knock the whole damn crib over with her bulky body)

Aster is also more excited about the baby toys than the actual baby

You can always tell where she is in the house because she carries around a rattle

And in the middle of the night she always sets off those loud interactive talking toys- successfully waking up the whole house
