Beware !!!!! Scary-looking sea creatures below

They've been on mine too, unfortunately 0_0. I actually have a few draft posts with a bunch of them, but those will have to be wrangled to make sense, lol.

Sea impersonating him was a recurring thing. He snuck into several meetings by stealing clothes dressing similarly and carrying a binder to look important. Matt was disturbed at first but figures it's technically flattery? He didn't know until Sea let slip that his new height + voice would make it easier.

He outgrew his entire closet in a week but refused to let England pick out clothes, so Matt + Fran kidnapped him to play dress up. Now he has clothes that aren't tracksuits or Model UN tryhard attire!

Also, Matt and Peter compete to make Kumajirou as cute as possible.

Out of anyone, he understands the most why Sea's always been so mad ab his age. He remembers how confusing it was to see others grow and not understand why you weren't.

Canada hates deskwork, but every secretary/assistant quits after dealing with nations. "Hiring" Peter was half altruism and 3/4 desperation.

Matt thought 2010 Bloodbath was a fever dream until Sea casually mentioned feeding naked France23 tinned fish. (His christmas dinner being coke and fish kills me)

Canada will never let him live down believing girls were a myth for a quarter of his life.

Matt defaults to passive aggression bc his "I have to be quiet and pliable to deserve love" thing. He genuinely doesn't view it as an issue until it blows up badly.

Peter gets plain mean if he thinks you're pitying/criticizing him. His ego is glass, and it makes him stupidly reckless physically and socially. This also blows up badly.

They're equally obsessive over their brothers in that they complain about them every chance they get, constantly compare themselves, and miss them more than anything while telling them to go away. Tricky since Sea idolizes America, and Matt loves England dearly. It's hard to reconcile "you hurt me" with "you made someone else feel loved/inspired."

Neither of them recognize the irony of Matt conflating Sea with America and Sea latching onto him with all the neuroticism England did.

everlastings are australian flowers which grow in arid areas and have paper-thin petals because of the dry conditions! they naturally don’t have much water in them so they don’t shrivel and brown once picked - they are everlasting as cut flowers.

this is the paper daisy (most common)

but there are also other species that have very dry flowers
