The Boys™

Ask Blog for APH Germany and England where they love each other a lot and wish it was still the 80s. Not a human au - they're still countries! run by @hrharthurkirkland - follows from @r-osematter (you can call me Teeth). [Ask Box: Closed] [M!A: none] Do Not Repost My Work. At All.

This blog is currently inactive.

While I still love hetalia, still love GerEng, I have not for some years now had the motivation to continue with this ask blog.

I often find fandom spaces draining and difficult to navigate. As a creator, so much is expected of you and if you don't do it the way people want somehow that's your fault? I won't ramble on about it.

At the end of the day, I did really enjoy this blog when I was active and drawing multiple answers a day, filling up a queue of posts, hosting events etc. It was a highlight of the time. But now I will officially lay it to rest.

Thank you to everyone who participated in this blog, everyone who made suggestions on how to keep it alive, and everyone who still reblogs some of the oldest art on here.

Please feel free to follow me on my art blog ( @teethhoarder ) or my hetalia blog ( @hrharthurkirkland ) or both I guess.

Not to always push my commissions but I'm going through a little financial rough patch so I'd appreciate it if you feel you're able! Every little helps. No pressure as always.

Okay but do they have any DIFFERENT music tastes?

Arthur: "the screaming kind... I'm not a fan but Lud blasts it when he works out."

(i totally missed an opportunity to have him be listening to Deutschland i know)

[asking-gereng]

// Arthur's got a guilty pleasure or two tbh...

[asking-gereng]

Hey! Love your content (you were one of the main reasons I like this ship!)

I was interested if you ever plan on reviving the Ghosts Event? I was feeling nostalgic and read through all of it again last night 🙈

I get it if you don't want to.

Thank you for all the stuff you make!!! Have a lovely day.

//hello! Thank you for your question and the compliments lol

With the last season if ghosts approaching it is absolutely tempting. The story I made for this event is entirely completed so if I revived it there wouldn't be a story and I'd go back to when Arthur was alive, or even the adventures of ghost Arthur.

I wouldn't be against it! It just depends on whether I have time lol.

Arthur, Arthur, Arthur, does Ludwig make sure you eat properly?

Ludwig, keep your man well fed or he will disappear if he turns to the side jesus fucking chris

Arthur: "now that you mention it..."

//Ludwig cares very much about the health of those around him and he always makes sure they're eating well, this extends to his friends too. Arthur isn't very good at remembering to eat actual meals and skips breakfast and lunch often.

[asking-gereng]

Thanks for your answer, sorry to made you remember such a painful memory, and yes Prussia is a very good brother ^^

Ludwig: "I'm sure he won't let that get to his head..."

[asking-gereng]

//ask box is empty! feel free to send the boys some questions

Happy Pride month! we're half way through the month and yet I bring you a fun commission style great for icons or stickers!

For £8 you get two characters of your choice in the heart with whatever pride flags you want in the background. The characters will be in a similar pose each time making a heart with their hands.

[asking-gereng]

Idk if it's been asked already, but on your last post Lud has a huge scar in the upper part of his torso, what happened there to leave such a huge mark?

TW for blood

Ludwig: "its a difficult thing to talk about, but Gilbert did what he had to during a.. mental break of mine. it was to stop me from hurting myself. he's a good brother, I keep it to remind me of what he's willing to do for me, even if it means subduing me. it was a different time when mental health wasnt as well studied as now."

Omg Luciano slay we love a jealous bastard baby omggg

Luciano: "my game is very often interrupted these days..."

[asking-gereng]

I don't know if this has been asked before BUT-

Do you have any shared likes in music? :›

Arthur: "absolutely! music is how our relationship began.."

// around the time i got back into hetalia i was OBSESSED with the 70s german band Kraftwerk, and i still love them. the cultural exchange of music in the 60s-80s between england and germany is how i started shipping them! starting with the beatles influencing young german musicians who started an experimental movement known as 'krautrock' (not a very nice term) that in turn influenced electronic music from the mid 70s onwards, artists like david bowie, gary numan, and omd all have named Kraftwerk as one of their influences. i have a bunch of their vinyls both in german and english. Arthur sent Ludwig a beatles album, which were very consistently in the top charts in germany. they met for every new album, and then when ludwig brought his music, arthur was obsessed and it all went from there. I have a fic about it on ao3 called "are friends electric?" :3 its mostly canon to this blog.
