There was another ask concerning this, but I accidentally deleted it ;u; 

Matthew was six during the divorce, so it was pretty recent. Be strong, Anon. 

Nordic patronuses? :)

We’ll also do a quick definition of what they stand for, for those who may not know them all off the top of their head, haha.

Norway: BlackbirdBlackbirds are mysterious and intuitive, appearing when needed most. Blackbirds keep their secrets and will protect yours fiercely. While they may not be the most ferocious protectors, they are one of the most mysterious and magical.

Iceland: Scops Owl These little owls are solitary creatures, preferring to be on their own. They like open space with plenty of room to stretch their wings. When threatened, they shrink themselves down to detract attention, avoiding confrontation.  

Finland: DoeThe doe is fiercely protective of its loved ones, as displayed through its caring and nurturing nature. The doe is also representative of gentleness yet strong determination, and with its high level of intuition and sensitivity, it battles life’s challenges with the utmost grace and vigilance.

Sweden: Vulture Looming and dominant, the vulture, at its core, is a resource machine. It may seem intimidating and heartless, but in reality, it is a hyper-efficient beast that knows how to utilize even the barest of essentials.

Denmark: KingfisherThe kingfisher’s boldness in every aspect certainly doesn’t exclude its vivid, striking appearance. Filled with determination, kingfishers are willing to do anything to get what they deem necessary and in order to achieve their dreams, even if it may not seem like the best plan at the onset.

Daily Hetalia Fact #8

America tries to listen to Canada and help him when he can.

(Also the French and the English still fight even when both are technically Canadian.)

Misconception: He’s weak

Reality: Far from it. The man’s been through a lot, emotionally especially.

Ex: During a heated argument with America, he’s able to close the door on him. It’s hinted that Canada may have super strength, but he dismisses this.

Ex: He’s more than capable of standing up from himself if necessary. Even a pushover has their limits.

Admittedly, he does excuse a lot of Cuba’s hostile behaviour towards him. It’s only because Cuba mistakes him as America, though.

Ex: Canada’s emotional insecurity can easily be seen as a strength. It takes a lot out of a person to remain so generous and friendly, despite being historically ignored and neglected by those close to you.

Misconception: He and America hate each other.

Reality: While they may have had some extremely rough times together, they’ve done more than enough to make up for this.

Covering the progress of their relationship in more detail will require a whole series of posts, but these are the basics.

Despite growing up together, they argued a lot following America’s independence. Britain acted as the most prominent wedge between them. For some time before, they also couldn’t see eye-to-eye due to profound age differences.

Canada held resentment towards America for being selfish, reckless, and too imposing.

Ex: America actually pushed for Canada to gain his independence. This didn’t occur until quite a while later, obviously.

Ex: When Canada does get his independence, they reconcile for the better…after having another argument of course. Siblings will be siblings.

Although, as you’ll see soon, they still argue over the same things. Canada’s main tooth to pick with America is his egotism and boisterousness.

Ex: America knows little about Canada’s pop culture, meanwhile Canada knows everything about his.

Nonetheless, the two are still extremely close…

Ex: America helps Canada figure out his identity. Canada’s multiculturalism [in the strips only, of course] is inspired by America’s own diversity of cultures and ethnicities.

As such, Canada suddenly finds South Korea and China staying at his place. The East Coast of Canada, especially Vancouver, is where many East Asians immigrate to.

Ex: America is jealous of Canada’s natural ability to get along with everyone.

Ex: The two co-host an online cooking show together. Yes, it’s called “America’s Cooking Channel, but Canada is on there enough times to deserve the title of a co-host.

Misconception: France is his father.

Reality: France temporarily acted as a big brother figure to Canada before England took hold of his jurisdiction. As such, this would explain why Canada inherited France’s hair. It’s mere influence. They’re not blood-related.

We’ve already see with Hong Kong how one nation’s influence can impact the physical/ personality traits of another.

Ex: England’s influence on Hong Kong’s personality. England also cursed Hong Kong to have thick eyebrows like him.

Ex: Seychelles was originally supposed to have one thick eyebrow and one thin one to represent French and English influences on her nation’s culture.

Misconception: Canada’s invisible for no reason.

Reality: There’s a real historical reason for this. Being a dominion, Canada was often overshadowed by Britain.

For instance, in WW1, other than the occasional Canadian Red Ensign flag – which also had a Union Jack on it – Canadian troops fought under the Union Jack. In return, Britain absorbed much of the credit for the feats accomplished by Canadian soldiers.

Ex: America thinks that Canada hides in Britain’s shadow. He holds back from saying this out loud.

Later, Canada’s shown to recognize this on his own. 

Ex: Canada wanted to sign a treaty with America, however he was too scared to talk to America directly. He was worried that America wouldn’t be able to see him.

Bonus Facts:

He cried when Seychelles remembered him as being part of the G8.

He served in the French army at Waterloo.

Maple syrup is his fuel.

He smoked marijuana.

He once yelled at America for three hours straight, pointing out his faults. America cried afterwards. Predictably, this was quickly fixed with a burger.

He aged at a much slower rate than America.

Meanwhile, in GerAme

America: *Pulls out cake box from fridge*

Germany, from the other side of the kitchen: What is that.

America: *Takes the last slice of chocolate cake from the box*

Germany: Is that my-

America: *Shoves the whole piece in his mouth the best he can*

Germany: HEY! THAT'S MINE!

It’s interesting how a comic reads online as opposed to like, a printed out version. It really changes the pacing and the rhythm of it. And also how traditional drawing looks crappier than digital drawing, but somehow the crappiness gives it a nice energy….

But whatever, whatever! The latest installment to the cooking au since I’ve been and will be absent for a hot second. I thought making a comic would be easy peasy lemon squeezy, but it’s actually difficult difficult lemon difficult. Gooooo figure ;u; 

Gryffindor Alfred doodle.

I’ve been super busy as it’s convention week and I’m super stressed and I really needed to doodle something that makes me happy and nyo vikings are the ultimate happy factor for me
