“If you want to speak to me, talk to my lawyer, Roderich,”
The Austro-Prussian War a.k.a. The biggest custody trial in 19th century Europe
Belated Oktoberfest shit lmao
Very very self-indulgent comic in which Gilbert holds on to old grudges. Some of you might know that Lederhosen are a traditional garment from Bavaria, a state in the south-east of Germany. Bavaria and Prussia meanwhile were rather hostile towards one another, with Bavarians refering to Prussians as “Saupreiß” (in singular) or “Saupreissen” (in plural), which essentially means “Pig Prussian”. Gilbert would thus likely not be the biggest fan of either Oktoberfest or Lederhosen, given that both of these things are definitely Bavarian…! I am happy to see though that more people in the fandom seem to be catching on to that.
Fun fact, since the northern half of Germany has been under strong Prussian influence, it’s a bit of a joke nowadays that everyone above Bavaria is Prussian.
germany can literally sense when prussia is about to do something dumb
prussia and crown prince germany in the hall of mirrors constitutes like a solid 50% of my personality
Hetalia: The World Twinkle ep.5
Soo…which part didn’t they resemble each other?
That awkward moment when your little brother starts getting uncomfortably real.
From this.
On Sundays Gilbert sleeps in, but little Ludwig is up early so he waits for his brother to wake up and do something interesting

things people forget about aph prussia
He’s actually a really good dancer [x]
He’s super tidy, a bit of a neat freak, and is very methodical and organized [x]
He used to be “a very modest country that didn’t particularly stand out amongst the German nations” [x]
The reason why he’s strong is because he had to fight for his own survival in the past, even when he was a child [x]
In battle he can be deadly serious, powerful and scary. [x]
He gets sleepy when he drinks [x]
He reads books, constantly. He stated that he reads four every day! [x]
When he watched Austria and Hungary together on christmas eve, he bursted into tears, trying to convince himself he loves being alone [x]
He sneezes when he’s bored [x]
His relationship with Austria is not all fighting - Hungary knocks him out, Austria shows significant concern, screaming “Prussia!” and dashing to his side, panicking when he doesn’t wake up. [x]
He also has a habit of stalking Austria [x]
He can be very serious, at times, and can also be kind and gentle when the situation calls for it - when he found Romano crying, he helped him up, motivating him and inspiring his self confidence. He also gave a motivational speech to Japan, encouraging him to take risks, to not let his shyness hold him down! [x] [x]
Both German brothers are smitten with the Italians; it’s hinted multiple times that Prussia has a crush on Italy (and when i say hints, i’m talking blatant hints. He even asked italy on a date! Italy was oblivious, though) [x] [x]
He constantly dotes on Germany, praising him for being “so awesome! Just like me!” [x]
He’s brilliant at the flute [x]
He’s the most skilled mechanic of all the Germanics [x]
He wont eat candy with faces on them, because it makes him feel guilty. [x]
Despite being the older brother, he’s shorter than Germany due to malnutrition. [x]
One time he dressed up in a bear suit and tried to get Austria to take his clothes off [x]
He SUCKS at flirting, and ends up coming across as “boorish”. Really though, he’s hopeless and awkward. [x]
He loves maple syrup (Canada introduced it to him!) [x]
He misses Frederick the Great (Old Fritz) terribly, voicing his feelings, saying that he hopes Fritz is watching over him. On his blog, he had a button saying “I love you Frederick the Great” in the corner. [x]
He’s not healing like a nation anymore, suggesting he may be fading, like holy rome did. He’s keeping it a secret from everybody (especially Germany), though. [x]
In fact, Hima said he’d be alive for a while still, “but if he disappears, he would be happy knowing that his younger brother has inherited all his knowledge and awesomeness” [x]
OKAY I COULD GO ON BECAUSE HE’S ACTUALLY ONE OF (IF NOT THE) MOST COMPLEX CHARACTERS IN HETALIA, BUT I DON’T WANT THIS POST TO BE TOO LONG!
LOOK AT HIM, JUST LOOK AT THE DORKFACE:
HOW CAN YOU NOT LOVE HIM

Unification
“Come on, West! What’s taking you so long!?” He could hear his brother yelling while he slowly and unnecessarily tidied the desk of his home office. Unneeded, as his desk was always tidy.
For the last few months he had been doing a lot of thinking about this day. Something about the upcoming celebrations had made him feel uneasy and nervous yet he hadn’t been able to explain what it was.
Until he did figure it out.
During another boring meeting that had been more chaotic than useful, the blonds thoughts had been wandering. Someone had shouted something at another person and Ludwig couldn’t even remember who it was or what had been said, but he had been frozen in his seat as everything finally made sense.
“What are you waiting for West, do you not want to go to the party?” Gilbert had appeared in the doorway, looking at him impatiently and ready to go out for the night.
How could he explain, that no, he didn’t want to go to some party tonight?
That he knew he should be nothing but happy to celebrate the unification of the country and felt guilty that he wasn’t.
He hesitated a moment to long with giving a reply and that was all the reason the elder brother needed to walk into the room. “Stop cleaning,” Gilbert ordered after a quick inspection of the desk. “It’s already clean.”
Ludwig did as he was told.
“Tell me what this is all about. You’ve been acting odd lately.”
How to explain?
“I don’t feel like going out tonight, bruder. I want to stay home.”
It earned him a weird look and more questions.
“Are you not feeling well? What happened? What’s the problem? Did you stop drinking beer again? I told you never to scare me like that again.”
And something in him snapped. “It feels like we’re celebrating that you came back, and we are, but it just makes me think of the time you weren’t here!” And he pulled his brother into a tight hug.
Just as he thought he was going to be pushed away, his big brother hugged him back shortly before stepping away.
“Go grab some beers and turn on the television. We’ll have a party of our own, West.”
Just let me help you
Walking past his brother’s office and taking notice of the way he looked, hunched over his desk and the dark circles under his eyes, Gilbert knew he had to do something.
Something turned out easier said than done, but after a bit of a struggle he had managed to drag Ludwig away from his desk. Now he only needed to get him out of this room, then up the stairs and finally into his bedroom so that he could go to bed.
All while his little brother was going on and on about that meeting he needed to be prepared for and the work he still had to do on his presentation.
“You need sleep, that’s what you need. I’ll do that presentation for you and it’ll be awesome, like me.”
“You can’t.” Ludwig resisted. “I’m the one that goes to the meetings, not you.” It was true, but he wasn’t able to fully hide grimace that came over his face as he grumbled his answer to that. “No need to remind me of that.”
Silence followed between them and during the silence it suddenly became much easier to maneuver his younger brother.
The silence bothered him. While Ludwig had never been a man or even a child of many words, this silence was clearly born from a sense of guilt and that hadn’t been his intention. He had never and would never blame the loss of his status as a nation on Ludwig.
So he broke the silence as they walked up the stairs. “West, I only meant that I’ll write your speech for you. I still know how to write an awesome speech. It will be waiting for you on your desk when you wake up. You’ll only need to read it through before your meeting.”
His little brother looked at him silently for a moment.
“Danke, Bruder.” Before he walked into his bedroom.
“You don’t forget how to do the work of a nation.” He murmured to himself as he went downstairs to work on that awesome speech he had spoken of. And awesome it would be.
"I laugh because there is nothing you can do about it!"
