Can I ask what’s Saudi and Bahrain’s relationship like considering they’ed be uncle and niece? You mentioned once or twice that Bahrain’s mother didn’t like Saudi or other people in general that much and I was just wondering about it, seems like it’d be an interesting relationship y’know?

They certainly do have a very interesting relationship! Gosh.... you're right Saudi is technically her uncle, even if he is significantly younger than Bahrain's mother LOL

They have a... complicated relationship? Due to the sensitive nature of the irl Saudi-Arabia-Bahrain relationship, I'm not gonna get into the nitty gritty details, but suffice it to say, Saudi Arabia sees Bahrain as his responsibility and a lot of what she is able to do hinges on his approval or at least, absence of outright rejection. Otherwise though, Saudi most lets her keep to herself as long as she doesn't cause trouble (like turning towards Iran) and it is his money that she uses to buy games and yaoi with 😂 they don't really talk about Bahrain's mother or Saudi Arabia's relationship with her, cuz Saudi Arabia purposefully keeps that information away from her, and because he's a repressed mfer who never talks about anything that makes him feel vulnerable ever ™️

In the AU where Hejaz is still alive, Hejaz frequently visits Bahrain on the weekend to do illicit activities and hookup with Russian prostitutes and everytime Saudi Arabia has to cross the bridge to come drag him back home and Bahrain watches them like 👁️👄👁️
