#berwald

Added Tino, Berwald, and Den to the chibi head sketches I did of Ice and Nor last week. 

(I kinda want to make stickers out of these, as well as the ones of Ed, Raivis, and Liet I did awhile back...)

Some extras under the cut (aka purple-eyed Ice, and Tino with blue eyes like he had in some of the earlier art book illustrations/bonus wallpapers, and brown eyes like he had in the original four seasons of the anime):

Though suddenly he felt, something...-

“Oh, Berwald! You are back!”

It took Arthur a moment to recover from the sudden startle- as well hearing to the other merman’s call. Tino seemed surprisingly unfased by his reaction as he swam over and out a hand on his shoulder “this is my mate Berwald, dear... very sorry that he startled you” he smiled sheepishly

And at that moment he felt a little dumb.

“O-Oh...! Is okay- I am sorry for reacting like that...” he said a bit embarrassed.

“Don’t worry, dear! It... actually happens often- but it’s nothing to worry about, right Ber?” the other nodded slighlty at his mate’s words “yeah... oh! Where’s my baby boy? He went with you, right?”

Again a nod “he should be...”

“ah, there he is.”

“Oh, Arthur!” Tino looked to him before to the entrance “This is our son, the one that helped you...!”

“Come here, Peter! Say hi!”

Arthur felt himself freezing at what he both heard and saw...

For a moment he couldn’t believe it... but there was no doubt.

That was-

OMG thank you so much!!! I'm so flattered. Honestly, I've had a lot of fun writing all of the historical hetalia fics I've written the last couple of years (since starting this blog) but Amity is, I think, the one that I think is nearest and dearest to my heart, I love writing it.

As for inspiration for Berwald's house, I don't recall! I don't think I took inspiration for anywhere in particular, I just imagined what kind of house a man like Berwald would have occupied at the time and tried to channel that, keeping in mind the generally popular styles of the day.

As for Alfred, though not everyone likes this headcanon, I hc him as being quite young during the revolution, physically around 12—13, or thereabouts. I credit this hc to my obsession with @sully-s's hetalia fanart (they're not really creating art for hetalia anymore, and are focusing on DC comics) when I first joined the fandom space on tumblr. I completely fell in love with how they portrayed young Rev. War-era Alfred, such as in this adorable little comic where he meets Lafayette for the first time. That being said, I am in a firm believer in holding multiple contradictory headcanons to play with across multiple versions of a single universe, so I could also envision Alfred being more of an adult during the war. However, in Amity, he's written to be around 12—13.

Hi welcome to me birbsitting my friends lovebird after three weeks

honestly I don’t mind but taking care of four birds at once is kinda difficult he cute tho

(I only take care of him because his name is berwald (Sweden) from hetalia)

I’m joking ofc I will care for him as much as I care for my own birds

thank you i was hoping someone would ask for he 🥺

sexuality headcanon: gay

gender headcanon: binary trans man

ship(s): NedSwe (1p obviously, but also @ask-the-other-dutchie’s 2p Ned x 1p Sve), slooowly getting back into SuFin

brotp: SweHun, SweUkr (both mlm wlw solidarity), SweCan (him and matthew...a vibe), GerSu (they seem like they’d be buddies! just not romantically compatible)

notp: DenSu, SuNor, SuIce, if you even come within ten feet of me and you ship him with a minor i’ll get my bow and arrow

random headcanon: him autistic...

skdjfhd thank you so much… the headcanon asks are really just for fun (and because i just love talking about dumb nation people sdkjfh) but it’s very kind of you to say, thank you 🥺

i’ve actually been secretly wishing to receive an ask about singapore (entirely self indulgent, i’m singaporean!) but i don’t think anyone’s going to request that since he’s not a canon character

i’ll do sweden’s headcanons first, and singapore’s will be under the cut!

SWEDEN:

what they smell like: he’s got a bit of the dry, freshly cut wood smell, mainly because he tinkers around with carpentry in his spare time

how they sleep (sleeping position, schedule, etc): he sleeps late and wakes up early, and always has coffee first thing to tide him over for the rest of the day. unlike most of the nordics, he’s pretty still and doesn’t move around much in his sleep (he doesn’t dream a lot either).

what music they enjoy: he’s really into modern music, and he likes house and electro stuff like avicii and martin garrix. he also has an incredibly soft spot for abba (who doesn’t?), and it’s the one thing guaranteed to break him out of his shell on karaoke nights with the others

how much time they spend getting ready every morning: he’s very quick, easily 10 minutes or less. denmark likes to poke fun at him because he seems to alternate between three different outfits

their favorite thing to collect: wood carvings!! he collects mostly carvings of animals, and he has a whole row of them aligned along his TV stand

left or right-handed: right-handed

religion (if any): atheist, but he follows finland to church sometimes

favorite sport: table tennis! it’s something he plays indoors a lot, especially with finland and denmark. granted, he’s not very good at it, but he likes playing it nonetheless

favorite touristy thing to do when traveling (museums, local food, sightseeing, etc): he likes taking walks around the area to explore. he appreciates architecture, especially of older, historical buildings

favorite kind of weather: he likes warmer days, with clear skies and little rain when he can stargaze at night

a weird/obscure fear they have: he’s not superstitious, but he’s not fond of faeries or trolls or any other kinds of mythical creatures

the carnival/arcade game they always win without fail: whack-a-mole! he only ever plays because of sealand, but he’s surprisingly good at it
