Alright, we got an appearance of a few new characters!!
Faypril, Frigid Leon, LemonMike and Japh!! Y’all have already seen Dubble Bubble
Faypril is April and Finn!! Faypril is a lot like Rottmnt April, except for she does quests and fights monsters like Finn.
Frigid Leon is Leonardo crossed over with The Ice King. He thinks he’s the coolest guy in the world, has horrible memory issues and is obsessed with Dubble Bubble. Frigid Leon thinks he and DB are totally twins, and DB hates it.
LemonMike is Mikey and Lemongrab. LemonMike is stressed and high strung, constantly miffed about something. He was created by Dubble Bubble to resemble an old friend. LemonMike has an uncanny resemblance to all the rest of the Mikey’s of this world. Mikey is the only person who appears as multiple people.
Japh is Raph and Jake!! Japh is a strange turtle dog hybrid with alien origins (though he doesn’t know till later). Japh’s body is yellow just like Jake’s and still has his stretchy power. While stretching, and part of his body that stretches, turns red and glows, like his nimpō in Rottmnt. Japh and Faypril live together in their treehouse, brother and sister ready to fight crime!!
All of these characters are open for interaction, so if you’d like to ask them questions, or have your oc interact, please do so!! Just send me an ask!!
do i write hockey x hetal!a fanfic. give my hockey blorbos the chance to meet my heta blorbos. i feel like that’s crossing a line of cringe that cannot be uncrossed. like maybe it’s a nations-are-known!verse and they’re guest/celeb “coaches” for the four nations faceoff… the finnish and swedish teams watching ber and ti’s marriage get torn apart over a meaningless exhibition game. alfred becomes increasingly persistent in his advances towards jswayman. matthew corners mmarner and makes him listen to his cursebreaker theories.
Do you have any thoughts/headcanons on ge//ri//ta??
SO many thoughts. It’s the foundational ship for this fandom ofc.
Firstly, let me establish that I am a Germany-is-HRE truther. Everyone knows that EXCEPT Lutz himself but they all just kind of agree to not mention it. So Feli KNOWS that the boy he love(s/d) is RIGHT. THERE. But he can’t say anything to suggest they’re the same person because to Lutz, that’s a different nation who died, and Feli doesn’t want to confuse or upset him. But Lutz does love him, and not just because of any lingering memories from before!!! He fell in love with Feli completely on his own, and he would fall in love with him over and over again. AUGH. Once they both get their heads out of their asses and express their feelings for each other, FELI is actually the one who takes it slow because he’s afraid of making Lutz feel like he’s just a stand-in for HRE. Feli doesn’t want to jump right to “established relationship” because even though that’s how it kind of feels for him, that’s not how it feels for Lutz. So they take it slow <3 first dates, flowers, first kisses… augh.
Anyways enough with the amnesia agony. THE AGE GAP!!!! Lutz, in his experience, is only about 150 years old. But Feli has been around for over 1300 years. Cradle robber smh. It just cracks me up. And Feli forgets sometimes that Ludwig doesn’t remember anything before the 1870s so he’ll offhandedly mention something that happened hundreds of years ago as if everyone knows it, and Lutz is just like ??? I have no fucking clue what you’re talking about. So even though Lutz often thinks that he’s the more “mature” one, Feli will make some joke about Byzantine Empire being bad in bed and Lutz suddenly feels very, very young. Feli often has to explain in-jokes between all the older nations to him or provide an INSANE amount of context for a simple passing comment. Lana del ray wants what they have.
Ok enough background. Let’s get to the headcanons
Their first dates were very simple <3 Museums, restaurants, art galleries, etc. Feli loves taking Lutz to art galleries and explaining the artworks and their historical backgrounds in vivid detail, and Lutz could listen to Feli talk passionately about art and architecture all day <333 Really I think he just likes the sound of his voice, his musical accent and animated speech. Every once in a rare while Feli will sing, maybe just a couple lines to a song, and Lutz fucking MELTS. They stopped going to restaurants after their first few dates after Lutz was like. Actually. Your cooking is way better and I like helping you in the kitchen. So let’s just do that instead. <3 Realistically a lot of their dates are things they were doing before they were a couple, just in a different light.
Feli taught Lutz how to relax <3 lounging in bed all day, curling up on the sofa with a cup of cocoa and a good book, just enjoying life without worrying about deadlines and routines. Although I don’t think Lutz will ever be able to sleep in the same way Feli can, they absolutely spend Saturday mornings in bed until midday, just tangled up in each other with not a care in the world <3
Conversely, Lutz taught Feli the joys of physical activity besides the walk from the sofa to the fridge lol. Hikes, bike rides, anything that gets them outside and moving. Feli has never been super outdoorsy or active, but breathing in crisp Alpine air and being surrounded by trees older than him is incredible. And he’s enjoying it with the man he loves <3
Meals! Entrées are Italian, desserts are German. Feli never acquired a taste for German food but goddamn that man can make a pie like nobody else. Feli is a lot more passionate about cooking (and Lutz can’t be trusted in front of a stove) but Lutz is happy to help chop vegetables or stir a pot of sauce. The one time they switched roles, Feli was stuck eating some sad, burnt to all hell potato and beef thing, and Lutz learned that he really hates tiramisu. This is not a condemnation of German food, they have some bangers, Lutz is just a bad cook lol.
They do indeed fight and argue like every other couple. Feli tends to be messy, leaving laundry all over the place and not cleaning up his dishes, whereas Lutz is neurotic about cleanliness and goes INSANE trying to convince Feli to just. Put his laundry in the fucking basket. Feli gets mad because sometimes Lutz will treat him like he’s incompetent or just outright stupid. Like there’s a reason he’s still alive and thriving after all this time. Get fucked mate. Ultimately their fights often come down to Feli being inconsiderate and Lutz being condescending.
They’re both fucking obsessed with how the other looks. Lutz is all strength and muscle and Feli wants to bite down on his forearms like a chew toy, and Lutz will never get enough of how Feli’s little waist feels in his hands or having those long legs wrapped around his hips. Also Ludwig is often like:
lol anyways. That’s all I’ve got right now, I have to do my timesheets or I won’t get paid for this week.
Captain is Alfred, obviously, with Lu and Mattie as his alts. No team name yet- taking suggestions!
OH and for context: this is an experimental international team organized by the IIHF to compete in worlds and do diplomacy/global outreach stuff. most of the players are on teams in their home countries but they all take their position on the international team very seriously.
ETA: duh moment on the team name. World Stars.
Lines structured left winger - center - right winger
first line: ber - lu - eirí
second line: mads - al - timo
third line: toni - arthur - kiku
fourth line: raivis - vasch - peter
D-pairs structured left and right
d-pair 1: mattie and vanya
d-pair 2: gil and lars
d-pair 3: viktoras and feliks
starter goalie: fran
BUG: lutz
EBUG: Roderich(good at being a goalie but hates it lol)
power play unit: first line forwards, viktoras and feliks on defense
penalty kill: al and timo forwards, mattie and vanya on defense
Fran gives MAF energy lol. Delightfully whimsical, outrageously accomplished, and overall very talented goalie. Lutz is your classic autist goalie. Freaky net rituals, barely speaks to media and says the most oddball shit when he does, there’s rumors he’s actually a robot that has been programmed with exactly one task: stop puck.
First line: Lu and Eirí are insanely gifted hockey brothers but Lu HATES playing on the same team as his baby brother lol. The two of them are an INCREDIBLE first line with Ber because they’ve got some weird nordic soul bond going on. Locked in 100% of the time. Take their job very seriously. They go HARD on the power play.
Second line: The “FUCK YEAH, HOCKEY!!!” line. They’re all SO excited to play and are very physical forwards. Do whatever it takes to get that puck in the net, aren’t afraid to make or take a few hits to score. That’s why they’re so good on the PK- they can play a defensive offense well.
Third line: Not much to say here, they just have surprisingly good line chemistry! I think their different personalities and styles of play all balance out and create a well rounded line.
Fourth line: poor little meow meows 😵💫 vasch is an accomplished veteran who is taking it easy until his impending retirement and has been tasked with babysitting the two kids on the team lol. A surprisingly effective line because raivis is terrified of failure and peter has Daddy Issues and is desperate to impress Vasch.
The D-pairs are just *chefs kiss* lol. Mattie and Vanya are a fucking MENACE on the ice, dirty players and just huge guys. Vanya is fucking his captain. Mattie is the captain’s brother and roasts the both of them mercilessly over this. Gil and Lars are an unlikely pair- they’re both physical, but focus more on play tactics than brute strength. Very organized and excellent communication between each other and their forwards. Vi and Feliks are husbands that cannot be separated. They’re not particularly impressive looking at first but they just do. not. stop. Absolutely relentless.
Lovi and Feli are WAGs(HABs?) to Toni and Lutz respectively. Lovi hates all the WAG bonding shit but Feli goes all out for it- themed parties, matching jackets, active groupchat, etc etc. Mattie’s wife(Katyusha!) is the “head WAG” and coordinates all their events and charities. Erzsi plays defense on the Hungarian women’s national team so she isn’t too involved with the Heta-WAGs as she’s busy having her own sports career. The first time Eirí brought Lili to a game, the WAGs immediately adopted her into the fold. Even if he leaves the team, i think she’ll always be a Heta-WAG lol.
This is likely completely incomprehensible if you don’t watch hockey but 🤷♀️ i am incapable of enjoying things a normal amount.
What the nations did during that initial covid lockdown where we were all supposed to stay home and everyone was making sourdough starters and rollerskating-
Alfred started a science experiment YouTube channel that is essentially him blowing things up in his backyard. Electroboom meets nuclear Boy Scout.
Mads babysat his neighbor’s little girl- she was a nurse and a single mom so this toddler just hung out with The Great Kingdom of Denmark every day. Gave him baby fever lol </3
Lu actually did make a sourdough starter and took up baking as a hobby. It kept his hands busy and his stomach full so he didn’t have a total break from reality.
Ti and Ber holed up together at a cottage near their border and played house <3 Home cooked meals every night, doing chores together, grocery shopping- almost like a normal human couple.
Feliks was/is a Twitch streamer that made BANK. He’s known for critiquing historical inaccuracies in video games and wearing Nekomimi.
VI’s boss, instead of making him work from home, let him chill for the first time in 1000 years. He slept almost the entire time, only getting up to use the bathroom, shower, and eat. Liet’s year of rest and relaxation lol
Ivan retreated to his dacha and enjoyed the simple life for a while. He doesn’t get to spend a lot of time there so he was able to do a lot of repairs and maintenance the place has needed.
(In the story I’m writing Gil dies around 2016 so he’s. Not here any more.)
do you have any general hcs for ivan :) hes been my favorite since i was a kid
My big man!!! Okay so:
- He can knit :) his big sister taught him how and he knits little hats for a L&D unit near his apartment in Moscow.
- He’s kind of a mediocre cook- if a recipe requires more than 15 minutes prep or anything besides just boiling it or throwing it in the oven, he won’t make it.
- Bed hog!!!! Starfishes while he sleeps. Absolutely miserable for whoever is in bed with him because even if they have a king size bed, he WILL end up on top of them.
- He has a dacha but he isn’t able to spend more than a few weekends there so he pays a neighbor to tend the house and make sure it doesn’t get damaged or broken into. He used to spend more time there and would grow vegetables.
- He absolutely loathes going to world meetings- current geopolitical situation aside, he doesn’t like having to sit still that long, his legs are always crammed under the desk, and if he has to give a speech, he gets a little stage fright. I think I’ve posted before about how meetings and other international communication is all in French- even though he’s been speaking it for centuries and can speak just fine talking directly to someone, he always trips on his words when he’s presenting.
- I don’t like the headcanon that he drinks vodka like water, personally I think he’s the opposite and doesn’t like to drink much at all. No more then a couple drinks when he goes out, or a drink to help him sleep at night.
- He’s a nickname hater. Literally his only options are Vanya or Ivan because he doesn’t have a patronymic(fatherless behavior lol) and he thinks other diminutives and pet names are childish.
- Actually on pretty good terms with most nations on a personal level, even ones he’s had beef with historically. Currently he isn’t allowed to talk to his big sister(she doesn’t want to, anyways) and the Baltics avoid him like the plague, but by and large he gets along with everyone. At meetings or other get togethers he usually hangs out with some of the Balkan nations or with France. The nations aren’t in control of what their governments and people do, although their feelings are influenced by their people to an extent, so they try to put aside politics when possible.
ETA I just want you to appreciate how big this guy is. He’s huge. Easily 6’5” and just. Big. I want him to lay on top of me and crush the air out of my lungs.
