3 Prussian Officer Cadets descending steps; Vincent Odinkirk, Gottlieb Witt and Leon von Zelewski (1906). Concept art for Moth, experimenting with ways of showing dark fabric in a black and white style. Since so little information is available about the Konigsberg Military Academy I felt liberty to make their motto "Kein Sieg Ohne Risiko" = "No victory without risk". This is derived from the lyrics "If you don't risk your life, you'll never win your life" from Fridericus Rex Grenadiermarsch, which is very exemplary of Prussian Militarist rhetoric, which in turn is derived from the Prose Edda, and sounds similar to the old Norse saying "Man doesn't avoid risk by avoiding conflict."

Have a completely unrelated female German Empire.

If you call them the Second Reich, fuck you, use the correct term that historians use.

I’m joking.

Please don’t take me serious.

Ever

But yeah, I may or may not headcanon GE as female...? Haha it’s legit just because I cannot see Austria-Hungary as a girl and I may or may not headcanon these two as getting together and Austria, Hungary, and the Weimer Republic being their kiddos- (If you don’t know what the WR is, look it up. If you’re too lazy to look it up, it’s Germany from 1918-1933)

And yes, her pose is based off of this animation meme, please watch it because it is pretty goddamn great
