I'm kinda curious,do you have any headcanons about kosovo's personality? ( and any headcanons about his relations with other balkan countries?)
KOSOVO:
2008 he moves out of the house shared with his brother in Belgrade, sacrifices comfort and prestige for own respect and independence: lives in a 10m² interesting flat in Pristina with high-end communist interior.
The type of guy who chronically doesn't care for anything, we have a word for it in russian - "похуист".
He seems twisted, evil, but once you get to know him you realise he is simply a loser idiot.
Ironically very co-dependent, cannot function on his own. (I take this from the fact that USA rules over him, it is basically a colony, Kosovo will never be fully independent as in: free from any foreign influences)
Since the flat is... peculiar, he spends most of his time at Bondsteel, but travels to other places more lately, because his big brother tends to call there too often. He can't run away from him, though. Ever. (everyone has that one aunt/uncle...)
About the edginess of Kosovo that is generally agreed on: I think it is not based on anything. The "albanian organ dealer" trope is a bit old and used up, in my opinion. Basing an entire character on just that is lame. Kosovars are not albanian mafia which makes up a really important part in Germany, Italy etc. I sincerely doubt Kosovo could run anything on his own, and crime is a very hard business. He is very disorganised, hence he doesn't have organised crime. Only mess-crime.
"Edgy - something or someone trying too hard to be cool, almost to a point where it's cringe worthy.". Yeah now that I read the definition I agree, that sentence sums up Kosovo's history perfectly.
Pushes the family away, but a simple "no" to his big brother never works. His nerves can't take it anymore.
Fights back to his brothers "nazi" and pathological love in a teenager way: window breaking, graffiti, car trashing, pranks, writing angry songs, cyber bullying, smoking cigarettes, drinking. Arson.
Never spends more than 48 hours in jail. His big brother always gets him out of there and he never thanks him.
The attention he gets from both his superiors (NATO and Serbia) actually compliments him and he feels special.
Since he is 18, he tried to get a drivers license but never passed the practical exam. He's driven a car since he was 9 years old, he could pass it easily, but he always comes to the exam intoxicated (Ozzy Osbourne syndrome). Gave up after the 5th time and now drives his lawnmover to the parties.
The parties he visits look like this: four cars in a parking lot, people sitting in the trunks, drinking cheapest beer/anything containing % and it's always only guys. Someone blasts chalga from the car speakers. He has gotten 29 tickets for public drinking, and Vuk pays for every single one of them.
Cuts goat throats with Enis, then films the blood flowing from the neck slowly. (it's a muslim thing) Shares the videos to his american friends and they hate it.
Vuk insisted for him to attend a prestigious officer high school. Needless to say he traumatised the entire school, failed every grade, inflicted damage to property and to people and only graduated because his brother is a powerful man. 4 of his teachers quit teaching. He attended with Ilija in the same school. Ilija still attends it since he is 2 years younger. Everyone hates both of them.
Got his hot-headedness after Vuk. He is antisocial and paranoid after Albania. Also isolated a bit for that reason, but not as much as Albania itself. His resentment and how he exhibits it is a product of both of these nations.
KOSOVO RELATIONS:
Serbia - die
USA - God bless (even though he is fully used by them no better than Serbia, just a marionette. He couldn't even keep his original flag)
Albania - God bless
Bosnia - Does not give a fuck about
Croatia - Does not give a fuck about. NATO collegues
Etc
He is a loner with issues. Just like Albania. Albania doesn't even like having him around because of his many, many problems. Hence he doesn't have many relations. Blindly submits to anyone in NATO.
Why do I feel like it would be the other way round. Vuk is actually a smart guy but he never shows it, while Dražen is an idiot but he hides it really well
I absolutely love it when people interpret hetalia characters as non-human, in these ephemeral, outer-dimensional ways. It gives me goosebumps, especially in fanfiction when an author is able to portray the nonexistent, unknown feeling of the presence in a room, or how it feels to imagine them, and you don’t see a person, but a feeling.
I happened to be on a very boring flight today but luckily I find that some of my best ideas attack me when I’m idle so I thought of a very quick post for you all:
Today’s topic of thought is Austria and his whole house, more specifically him and the countries whose territories he claims.
We know from the actual manga and anime that he puts both Hungary and Italy (at least when they’re young) to work as his servants, but here’s something from the headcanon realm: he absolutely doesn’t have to do that.
Personally I would imagine he had more than enough servants during his best years, and he simply did all that to humble his new territories and show them who’s boss. Imagine not only getting your ass kicked but then you’re handed a broom and made to clean someone’s stables.
It also adds to this - since it’s a pretty popular headcanon that nations react with their physical bodies to political changes - that it would keep them obedient. I don’t imagine anyone willing to start and uprising when they have to do hard manual labour AND also have the flu (or the symptoms at least).
At the same time I think that it could be some sort of double sided arrangement, where the captured territories would also attend events or be presented for certain officials. Of course, in said situations they would be introduced as special guests but instead be treated more like a walking decoration, a taxidermy trophy that could walk and speak (when spoken to).
And no, contrary to what you might think about me after this post I don’t headcanon Roderich to be an absolute heartless monster… I just like him a little mean, that’s all.
