INHALes sharply
they’re perfect for each other– two tired old men w an odd lov for philosophy n a flair for the dramatic yet different enough that they compliment each other beautifully by compensating for the other’s weak points n highlighting their strong ones?? plus they’re both difficult it takes a special person to handle either of them but i think they’d find that in each other
ivan sometimes gets v pessimistic abt life in general n it’s times like these where francis will instinctively know that ivan needs to be held n he’ll hold his head in his lap n comb thru his hair n tell him old fables bc sometimes reality being dumped over our heads isn’t at all what we need
francis has rlly?? niche interests? it’s hard to find ppl who can talk abt philosophy, the arts n literature but still not be a total stick in the mud all other times??? thank god ivan is one of those ppl???
they’re both so Tired n sometimes life rlly weighs on them n you’ll find both of them out in the back smokin together in silence w centuries obvious in their eyes but it’s a lil less tiring, a lil less empty, when the other is there beside them
ivan is proud of the fact that he rarely gets flustered but ever since he met francis, master of unnecessary flirtation, that fact has become less of a fact n more of a memory of the past tho honestly he can’t complain
ivan likes to randomly scoop francis up bridal style n carry him around bc?? he’s gonna treat him like the prince he is???
francis gets sad sometimes too :( n ivan will wrap him up in his arms n bury his face in his hair n tell him it’ll b alright soon. he’s right here n he won’t let the demons come any closer
they’re stupid sentimental old men who will absolutely b cliche af n dance to old, old songs in the kitchen w their arms wrapped around each other n their eyes locked to the others like they’re the only two ppl in the whole damn world
francis is adamant abt taking this man shopping bc “no, ivan, tired old man is not a legitimate fashion style pls get rid of that coat it’s been twenty years”
francis enjoys attempting to do ivan’s hair. ivan does not object to being fussed over
sometimes when they’re both a little tipsy they’ll end up singing old folk songs n war songs n sometimes even modern pop songs too loudly n not entirely on key but it’s alright bc there’s no one around to judge them
they’ll pull this thing when they strut into meeting w their arms linked n they’ll just sweep over everyone w these smug smiles on their faces n everyone is Afraid bc they’re such a Team
they’re giant dorks?? they’ll pull that thing n put food on each other’s faces n it usually ends w tussling n francis usually wins bc he pulls the Automatic Win aka kissing ivan
basically?? i lov them?? good bois?? they’re perfect for each other?? can have a good time w each other bc theyre comfy w each other but also have dmc for the same reason?? ily rainy bless
While discussing what they would do with a wish, Germany tells Italy that he would wish for the ability to talk to his dogs.

God, I love heavy gesturing (even if his only ever seem to cover ‘vaguely disgruntled’ to ‘furious’)
Sorry if I got anything wrong, I have yet to see all of them in real life.
And of course;
Okay….. I am tired of seeing one-dimensional characterizations of Belarus and I know that happens with all characters to some extent, but it is particularly bad with her. So here are some cool facts I found about Belarus that make her a more round character:
-she is really into the occult and is a great fortune teller
-she can see ghosts but Latvia says she’s so intimidating even ghosts would avoid her
-she may or may not speak Polish
-she zones out all the time. Her mind will just go blank and she’ll stare at something (like her bow) for hours on end. One time she watched white noise on tv for three hours. Occasionally she’ll have a jolt realization that the day has ended and night came without her noticing
-she is very strong, both physically and of heart and will, though the latter only shines through in negative ways
-she’s “extremely vulgar” in the calmest, most casual tone of voice
-she’s been into rock music lately
-she’s a good acrobat. Her gymnasium is her pride
-America took her in after the Soviet Union collapsed and she thought only bad things came from associating with Russia
-Russia values her opinion and /they can get along peacefully/. Belarus is pretty attached to Ukraine. Ukraine worries about her
-she has an EXTREMELY negative view of humans
-she thinks philosophically about death, specifically her own, a lot. Since she knows she will die eventually, she tries to appreciate the moment
-she loves her traditional clothing
-she is perpetually annoyed by American ghosts, who apparently don’t even bother hiding, like a normal ghost would
-she prank calls Lithuania. And you know that thing where someone calls you and doesn’t say anything, they just breathe into the phone? She does that to Poland
-when she lived with America she completely sapped that guy of all his endless energy; she made him so tired he started trying to get rid of her
Transparent bald eagle America, his national symbol
Both Romano and Spain enjoy books that play out like archetypal shounen mangas to the point of dressing and acting like the main characters.
Tino suspects the hot guy at the bus stop is an underworld bodyguard. He’s wrong.
take your pick :>
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.)
