Accent?

Gilbert: Gilbert has a filthy and wonderful kink for when Roderich speaks in tongues to him. When Roderich speaks in Old High Germanic it does things to him. When his tongue wraps around those old words like thorns and embraces them, when he uses them against Gilbert, he knows there's quite the night ahead for both of them, because the fastest way to get Gilbert to do just about any dirty deed is to demand it from him in Old High Germanic. And Roderich knows this. He has had Gilbert on his knees with his mouth open and begging just by forming the words in that thorny old language and that thorny old accent. 

Roderich: Roderich is wicked smart, a lot of people know that. One of his talents is mimicking accents, he's very good at it. Scary good. He likes to tease Gilbert with it, of course, making phone calls and pretending to be someone else. Mostly he used to use it to tease his old spouses, and once in bed Roderich used it with Antonio and had one of the few nights with his ex-husband he doesn't entirely regret. (This was before Roderich was with or even interested in Gilbert.) he probably should have known something was up when Antonio begged for an Italian accent.

Laugh!

((There was another one for laugh and it was sent anonymous so I'll just answer both here uwu))

Gilbert: He has the most ridiculous laugh! It's loud and fills the whole room and he's never really been the type of guy to laugh quietly and try to hide it. He's so fascinated by laughing, he's so happy he can't keep it inside, why would he want to hide that? His head tilts back and he really lets go, one of his favorite things in the world is laughing so hard and so long that it hurts. His ribs ache so much after having a good laugh and he loves it. it's been harder lately to have these, he can't remember the last time he laughed so hard it hurt, his depression makes it so hard. But he's looking out for the next one. Each day he gets by is another day closer to that wonderful, rib hurting, breath stealing laugh. He's very excited for it.

Roderich: He tends to keep much more quiet about his laughing. He knows it isn't 'polite' to laugh like Gilbert does (although he thinks Gilbert is so gorgeous when he laughs, he wishes he would do it more often lately). He knows the proper way to laugh is politely and quietly and to hide your smile behind your hand and keep calm. It took Gilbert such a long time to break him of this habit of keeping laughs small and quiet and hidden. And even today his most intimate and full bodied laughs are hidden behind closed doors, where he and Gilbert are fooling around in bed relaxing together and Gilbert blows those ridiculous raspberry kisses against his neck and belly that tickle him and he laughs and tilts his head back and tangles his hands in Gilbert's hair and tries to tug him away and it is then that Gilbert knows Roderich is most honest and open and beautiful.

epiphany

Gilbert: Gilbert is actually a very insightful person. Often times he falls quiet not because he has nothing or little to add but because he likes to think to himself. You know they say people who talk to themselves often learn a lot from the conversations? Gilbert can be like that but he keeps those thoughts to himself. He likes to think. He likes to analyze, but he keeps it to himself. He keeps quiet about it and he can be pretty insightful. 

Roderich: Roderich has difficulties when it comes to these sort of things. A lot of people seem to just out of nowhere make these decisions, these life changing decisions, these epiphanies that change them so much and how they live their life. Roderich has never been able to do that, he has a terrible guilt complex. Before anything can be done he has to think about it and think about it three, four, five times over. is this really what I want to do? Is this the right choice? But what if I do that instead? Which has more cons, which has more pros?

There was one time, one time only that Roderich was able to settle so quickly on what he wanted. One time he was granted the relief that comes with such a sure decision, when his mind settled on something so huge so quickly that he knew it was the right thing to do, and this was the decision to love Gilbert with all his heart.

Strawberries, anyone?

[ask-oil-and-water-blog]

Do the two of you ever go out to see plays? And if you do, do you prefer modern settings or not-from-this-century ones?

I am fond of going to the theatre, yes. I have a soft spot for musicals, I will admit. I think I prefer older settings, they're easier for me to relate to.

Roderich is old fashioned, he always has been. I took him to see RENT once, he liked it but he was so confused the entire time, it was wonderful.

There was too much going on.

He took a liking to Angel's story.

It was bittersweet. I can appreciate bittersweet.

I prefer modern day settings. Speaking of RENT, that was my favorite. Realistic. Kind. We don't go out very often, there's a lot more music to be heard in Vienna than plays to be seen, but we do make date nights out of them.

iamfrancedealwithit replied to your post: How do you two cheer each other up when one of you is upset?  I get really excited when I see you on my dash.

((;;w;;)) 

[ask-oil-and-water-blog]

I need a spot of advice. Gilbert seems to take two steps back for every one step forward he takes. Should I suggest seeing a doctor? Perhaps a doctor can offer professional help that I simply cannot. 

[ask-oil-and-water-blog]

How do you two cheer each other up when one of you is upset?

Gilbert can be very difficult to cheer up, given his state. Sometimes I think there must be a surefire way to make him smile but it can be different day to day and some days he cannot seem to smile at all. (Sometimes I am asked by friends and family who are aware of his illness if I ever get tired of it, and the answer is no. Gilbert is always full of wonderful surprises, he always smiles in the end whether it takes me moments or days, and one day he will climb over this and make it out as beautiful as ever.) Sometimes I will make him a cup of tea but that doesn't seem to work as well or as consistently as it does for me. He likes blankets. He likes to be burrowed in them so sometimes I will bring him a blanket or two, maybe pillows, and just let him curl up. He adores Disney movies more than he cares to admit, Beauty and the Beast is his favorite and some days we will just sit back and watch it again and again until it gets a smile on his face.

Roderich really likes his tea a certain way and getting it to him that way seems to make him happy. (Strongly brewed, if it's black with one teaspoon of sugar, if it's herbal no sugar, if it's green with half a teaspoon of honey, white tea gets a little sugar and honey.) He likes to play piano and violin when he's disgruntled but when he's sad he will just pluck at strings or tap against keys without really meaning to play anything. Sweets can cheer him up, too, so sometimes I'll pull out a slice of cake we made a few days ago or even in dire situations just a teaspoon of sugar straight up. He seems to like it best though when I just hold him. He doesn't cry often anymore, I think he thinks he isn't allowed to anymore. (I have told him time after time this isn't the case and I'm honored to let him let it out against me but he still seems unwilling but that's another story for another day.) But if he does cry I always just offer a shoulder and sometimes he gets my shirts dirty but that's okay.

[ask-oil-and-water-blog]

How would you react if someone were interested in Gilbert, Roderich? And how would you react if someone were interested in Roderich, Gilbert? I imagine Gilbert's already experienced that feeling a few times.

I am not going to pretend I would act like an adult and handle the situation very well. I have stated before and I will state it again that I can be possessive, it isn't something I am proud of but I will not pretend it isn't there. f someone was interested in Gilbert and made it known I would not act kindly. (If, however, they respected that he belonged to another man and kept their infatuation to themselves it would not be a problem. I do not need to know about it and if I don't then we can all carry on like adults.)  would make my feelings very well known. Gilbert is mine as long as he chooses to be, I can be greedy with what is mine, I know. As long as he is mine and I his I will not react kindly to other people trying to have him.

It can get scary, I won't lie. Because, like, it isn't what you think, he doesn't get up in people's faces. He won't start yelling. He will coolly watch them from across the room if he think someone is trying to make a move on me. Sometimes when we go out to the bars (you know, when I can get him to agree to  go with me) people try to flirt, you know, everyone's flirting with everyone else, I'm not going to pretend they do it because they think I'm attractive or anything, but they do it, and Roderich will slide up as cool and collected as anything and put his arms around me and say things like if I'm on my best behaviour we can get home soon for a treat. That sends people packing pretty quick, he can be scary too in his own way.

I said I would not pretend to be an adult about the situation. Gilbert is mine as much as I am his.

And you're right, I kind of have practice with seeing other people interested in Roderich. But not like you might think. Like yea, I had to watch him get married off to others. I was in love with him far longer than he was with me, I had to sit and watch him get married off, and even after he was really, finally mine, I had to see him get married off to Elizaveta. And that hurts. But let's not beat around the bush here, Roderich is attractive. I really don't care what he says about the matter, he is honest to God attractive. I know he doesn't think so but that's another matter entirely. People look at him. People like to look at him and they like to think they stand a chance with him and guess what? I get jealous. I get really jealous. He's really beautiful, okay? I understand other people like to look, but when they show interest, I don't really have to sit back and watch like I used to have to. I make it known he's taken. And you know what, sometimes people still try to flirt and good for them, they don't know how long we've been together, what we've been through, the fact that batted eyelashes and fake laughs aren't going to take him from me, not after all the work we've put into this. But I still get jealous. Usually I don't need to say anything, though. It takes Roderich a while to actually catch onto it if someone is flirting with him but he puts an end to it pretty quickly. Sometimes he gets offended and pushes them away but sometimes I get the chance to come up to him and he presses the sweetest little kisses against my lips, and sometimes I know he's doing it mostly to draw attention to the fact that he's taken, but that's alright, because he is. I get bitter when people hit on him, though, because I'm thinking they don't know him, who he is, what he's been through and just because he isn't tied at the hip to me or has a ring on doesn't mean he isn't committed. So I get jealous, yea, big deal.

[ask-oil-and-water-blog]

7-Your zodiac/horoscope and if you think it fits your personality:

Well let's see... I'm a Carpricorn. This website says I should "embrace loyalty, fairness and tact."

Yes because tact is the first word that comes to mind when I think of you, Gilbert.

It's in the stars, baby, don't argue with them. Loyalty is something that I, as Gilbert and as Prussia, can appreciate. And avoid limitations, loneliness, and struggle.

May I have a word on that? Struggle is certainly something we cannot avoid simply by nature, but I think Gilbert especially has a hard time with that. He struggles with many things now, including his depression. But I agree with the loneliness part. Of all people, Gilbert is the least deserving of loneliness. He thrives on love and attention, even I know that. I think his long years of loneliness behind the Wall and after he came back but before he came back to me could have led to this sadness he feels, or at least in part.

It also says we tend to fall in love with people who don't work out long term. And maybe they're not completely wrong there. We put a lot of hard work behind our love and it isn't always a walk through the park, and maybe it only works because we work so hard on it. If we didn't they're right, we might not have worked out. It also says goals tend to be the point of our lives, and when one goal is reached another is made to reach for. Maybe they're right, maybe they're not.

And I am a Scorpio. The same website says for me that I have a "steely exterior but possess much sensitivity." Hrmph.

Well they got that one dead on.

My challenges include "Jealous, domineering, violent." Well I am easily jealous, I will not argue that. When it comes to many things, not just Gilbert. I don't particularly enjoy anyone else coming onto my man, no, what's mine is mine and keep your hands off of it. Domineering, perhaps. I know what I want and I try hard to get it. My marriages are not my proudest achievements but I got what I needed in the end, didn't I? Violent, perhaps not at all. Once or twice have I raised my hand against Gilbert but we are... we are different.

I don't know if it necessarily means physically violent. You are passionate, certainly. When you want something you tend to really, really want it.

"Scorpio nature is more complicated, and the typical Scorpio is interested in marriage and long-term commitment." Well certainly. Perhaps not the ones I had but when I got the relationship I was truly interested in with Gilbert it was an honest attempt for the long run. I am in it with Gilbert until the very end, there is no doubt about that. "It is true that Scorpio men and women have strong sexual appetites..." ..........

It's not an arguable point, really. He pretends otherwise but wow. No, that part is true.

18-Do you have any tattoos?

 do! See, here's one, it's my favorite, right behind my ear. It's in script, it says Roderich. See, the spot is a special one, it's called like a lover's spot? It's tucked behind my ear and my hair, the only one who sees it really and gets to kiss it is Roderich, my lover. A lover's spot. And I have another one of piano keys on my rib cage, Roderich says I am his favorite instrument to play. And one for Prussia as well, this one:

(Source)

myself am without any tattoos. Gilbert wishes for me to get one but I could never think to stain my skin. On him it is wonderful and beautiful against his scars but on my boring, unmarked skin.... it would not look right. 27-Do you have any “rules” about food?

uring Passover obviously I do. I do not tend to stick to Kosher foods outside of Passover, at least not keeping certain foods separated. During Passover I keep my plate Kosher and my meals for the day Kosher. I don't make Gilbert hold to this as well but he does anyway for my sake. Other than that I tend not to eat pork either, but that's just my preference and I suppose since I'm not supposed to anyway. I stick to wine suggestions when eating as well (what to pair beef or cheese with, dark red versus a sweet white, et cetera...) 

My only rules tend to stick to religious holidays and eating out. I don't eat meat Fridays during Lent season, we'll make fish or something vegetarian. Roderich goes with what I do like when he eats Kosher I tend to go with what he does. If I drink wine though I'll drink whatever with whatever. When I eat out, well, that stuff is packed with sodium. No steaks when I eat out, restaurants don't know how to do steak right. I'll make it at home but not out. And I try to keep calories, low too.

(Haven't I told you guys before he has been doing this whole health thing lately? I think perhaps he is scared for his health with the loss of his nation. It gets annoying after a while but he means well. He is so sweet.)

36-Has someone ever spread a nasty rumor about you?

 I heard a rumor once that I was a lesbian.

... I don't know who would do something evil like that. It doesn't even make sense.

It was before you and I got together, when we were still fighting. And I don't know it came from but suddenly it made so much sense, everyone though I was feminine anyway, and I don't know where that came from either, I remember you always calling me girlish but never had anyone- Gilbert?

Yes my love?

Oh I'm going to kill you.

37-What is your ideal bed? Why?

You know, I'm pretty fond of the bed we have now. I mean, it's our bed. It's big. Comfortable. We've got a lot of memories in it, too. Lots of nights shared. Lots of lazy days spent there. Breakfast ate there. Fights had there. Make up sex made there. My idea bed is the one we have right now, a new one wouldn't feel right.

He speaks nonsense. I want a large white bed, lots of pillows and blankets. Lots of room for... things. Oh, those beds that come with storage built right into them? Drawers and such that pull out from the sides? Those. I want those. To keep our toys. Super stuffed pillows. Clean sheets every night to make a mess of. Something that cleans itself. Something durable so it can withstand handcuff marks but something that won't scuff if it hits the wall behind it over and over again. 65-Weird things you do when you’re alone:

Kesesese... when Roderich isn't home I sing! It's more fun when he's not around to tell me how off tune I am! When I'm on my own for like dinner or something I just put bread in the toaster and melt cheese over it. I give Gilbird baths in the sink. Roderich doesn't like it when I touch myself so I do it when he's not around but that's not really 'weird'.

I carry on my business. There's nothing odd to do when Gilbert is not home, really. Make tea. Practice piano.

Boring.

47-Have you ever had an imaginary friend?

Everyone thought Gilbird was imaginary when I first found him. Because he was kinda flighty, didn't stick around for long. But he started staying longer and longer and everyone saw him and knew I wasn't lying. Other than that I didn't really have an imaginary friend, though. It was lonely growing up like I did and maybe an imaginary friend would have helped but I was too busy fighting and trying to stay safe to think of that I guess.

was terribly sheltered as a child. Anything like an imaginary friend was frowned upon. If I got lonely a nurse would keep me company, and it wasn't the same as having a child my own age around to play with, but it kept me from getting too lonely. That's why I loved it when Gilbert came around. Sometimes we weren't very nice to each other but he meant the world to me even when we were kids. We spent every moment we could together.

66-Something you do without realising:

Gilbert tells me sometimes when we make love I will call out symphony terms...

You do. it can get annoying, not everyone is a musician, you know.

 I was not really aware. He's so good at what he does down there perhaps I simply lose myself in the moment. 

Oh you know just what to say to save yourself. I snore sometimes, he tells me.

He does and it can be terrible. He didn't start until recently and supposedly it can have something to do with his depression.

I pull at my shirts so much I have loose threads at the bottom of all of them. Roderich wants me to take up violin to give my hands something to do instead of ruining my shirts but I can't always drop a problem to play the violin. 

(Phew! Here you guys go!))
