Can His Ego Still Become More Inflated? Or Is Infinity Not The Limit For Americans, Mm??

Can his ego still become more inflated? Or is infinity not the limit for Americans, mm??

After watching too many Hollywood superhero movies in one sitting, Matthew stares at himself in the mirror, tries styling his hair and winking like Alfred and whispers “I’m the hero! (｡•̀ᴗ-)✧” under his breath.

Itʼs one of my favorite dialogs:

“What did you have for dinner last night?”

“Yes”

he's holding them up by the scruff of their necks like they're kittens that's so sweet i love this scene

Now Iʼm trying to remember how to draw because I havenʼt done it for about two years. And I tried my best to make him blonde hair, honestly! I love to use black pencils too much, I admit...

Aww, his smile <3

Austria being Prussia and Germany cousin,yes they are nations with similar cultures and same language, but why make a canon family relationship?

Hmm, family relationship?

Usually, such countries have a common history and some kind of connection between residents. Like Russians and Belarusians who consider each other to be fraternal peoples.

They can also be countries that are somehow connected through colonization (as well as those that were previously part of the same state). For example, Canada, America, England and France. In the English fandom, the headcanon with these guys has become so strong that even the concept of FACE Family has appeared.

Well, in the case of Germany, Prussia, and Austria, the reason may be the common history, and the similarity of the people living in these countries. There were also cases in history when they were one state.

(I think you asked this question to the wrong person because I donʼt know them well)

Yes, he is a person who will adapt to others for their comfort, while not thinking about himself at all. Mattie doesnʼt appreciate/value himself, his opinion, his comfort.

Matthew is always worried about others, but no one pays him in the same coin. He freak out when Alfred wants to do some dangerous stuff and always tries to talk him out of it. And Alfred also tries to take care of Mattie. Maybe heʼs not so good at it, maybe he makes mistakes, but heʼs trying his best.

And about “if I voice my complains I will just make things worse”. I doubt.

It will not help, yeah, tears and complains are useless and helpless in this sense, you just waste time and maybe you make someone angry or sad, or- you know. However it will not make things worse, Iʼm actually unsure that it will. Can it spoil someoneʼs mood? Yes. But how it can makes things worse?

(Umm, I donʼt think “great” is the right word. Iʼm just spending a lot of time on it because I want my speach to sound good, or at least not so bad. Anyway, thank you!! ^^)

When Alfred makes Matthew laugh, Matthew lets out a little giggle and immediately tries to cover it up with a cough because he can’t let his “totally loud annoying obnoxious brother” know that he actually finds him funny.

When Matthew makes Alfred laugh, Alfred laughs. Even if it’s not that funny of a joke, Alfred will laugh hysterically like it’s the most hilarious shit he’s ever heard. And his laughter is loud and contagious so Matthew ends up laughing as well. So they’re both just there laughing like dorks at a joke that wasn’t even that funny to begin with.

(Also I have a headcanon that when Alfred laughs really hard he leans against people and will put his head on their shoulders)

Relationships between nations are a really complicated thing. They have a huge responsibility on their shoulders and they cannot build relationships and live like ordinary people. In order not to break down and not lose themselves, they can create a semblance of some kind of relationship between themselves. These weird relationships are hardly similar to what we have, but they help nations not to go crazy.

Some become so “attached” to each other that they will stick close even if they look like they're going to slit each otherʼs throats. Like France and England. Like Russia and America. On the one hand, they are tired of seeing each other, on the other hand, they have spent so much time together that they consider their “hurt-comfort” or “hate-love” relationship something natural.

I’ve always thought about why Francis taught Matthew to called him “papa” while Arthur told Alfred that they were brothers.

I suppose once personifications get colonies they have the power to create whatever relationship they want with that colony. And remember, they’re still “human” in a way. So most of them decide that they want their new colonies to have a sort of familial relationship with them.

Arthur went down the “older brother” path with his colonies because of his own older brothers. He grew up the youngest and wanted to be the older one for once. He was probably picked on when he was little and was under the impression that he would be a “so much better and nicer” older brother.

Also throughout history he was pretty terrible and cruel to his older brothers. So he kinda screwed up his relationship with them. I can see Arthur looking at Alfred, thinking that this would be his “second chance.” Ya he ended up screwing that up as well. Nice job Arthur.

Idk as nations familial relationships are just complicated. Imagine being someone’s older brother while also being their literal colonizer. But as beings who outlive any humans they meet, they’re really only able to make that sort of connection with each other. Because getting that close to any human will inevitably just lead to heartbreak.

I can go on a whole nother rant about how the nations are probably always battling with what it means to be a personification—with what they feel is their duty to their own people and country—and battling with just being human. Like humans they want to experience love and friendship and want families.

Arthur viewed Alfred as his little brother, but he also viewed Alfred as his colony. America was this child he loved cared for and America was this piece of land that he colonized and controlled.

Anyway I’ve made myself sad now.
