THIS IS EPIC

How do you think the Yugotans changed in the 90’s? Did they change emotionally or physically? or do you think they stayed the same?

I meant to respond to this a long time ago, but I think Serbia, Croatia and specifically Bosnia would be most affected emotionally.

I think because Vuk would go from someone respected by the international community to despised, he'd be quite resentful. He'd find everyone else the problem behind him, and remisse over the goold old days at Tix said. He'd feel like the world is against him, and that there's a double standard. He'd feel bad about what he did, but like his pride is too big to apologize. I feel like he'd be much more erratic and unstable.

Any warm feelings Drazen would have about the Yugoslav movement would dissipate for him. He would start to look at the movement with resentment, and have the desire to isolate himself completely away from everyone. He'd become much more introverted and less trusting, as well as feel betrayed.

I can imagine Enis pretty much having a complete physical and emotional transformation. Before the war I'd say he was naive, friendly and really believed in Yugoslavia. He never thought what would happen would happen, and now he's become angry, quiet and he looks much more aged. He doesn't trust anyone, and he doesn't want to do anything about things falling apart around him because what's the point to make it better if it will go bad again? I see him smoking way way more, and becoming apathetic to things around him. I think people would say there's a complete difference to him, and he seems like a shell of himself. I hope things will and are going better for him.

@danidandandadididan Emina headcanons (because I think about her lately):

-Only listens to ilahije, kaside (these are islamic songs), ballads and oral poetry (specifically from Bijelo Polje). She boasts about this whenever she gets the chance;

-loves Avdo Međedović like she's her father. Watches that documentary about him on YouTube over and over again;

-mostly sucks at cooking, whenever she makes burek it ends up looking like an opanak (village shoe). Probably because her filo dough is too thick;

-Vuk ends up eating her failed attempts at cooking like it's a delicacy. Obviously, she calls him a "human trash can" or "pig" afterwards;

-doesn't like make-up. She calls it "mazanje" (old word for doing make-up that also means "to spread something", like spreading jam on toast) instead of "šminkanje" (doing make-up);

-she thinks Kosovo is cool, but he doesn't like her because she's annoying. He tries to get away from conversations with her by saying he's going "gardening" and she just says "I love gardening", further insists on going with him, so he explains to her what kind of "gardening" he's going to do. She still wants to do it, though;

-asks Šćepan to give her gusle, which she doesn't know how to play. He's too lazy to teach her, and instead tells her to wash his feet or do the dishes;

-wants to interpret oral literature, but is insecure about her voice. She wants to sound like Hanka Paldum;

-(I know I commented this, but have it here) doesn't let anyone touch her, for many reasons. When Vuk tries to show her affection, she runs away from him and calls him names;

-Milica is the only one who doesn't mind her being an annoyance, but Emina doesn't like her because she's close to Vuk.

Dražen (Yugotalia Croatia) headcanons: 1. He doesn't get enough sleep. He sleeps 6 hours at most (on weekends), but usually it's 4 hours of sleep for him. For example, he falls asleep at 2 and wakes up at 6 am. He's a 'night owl', so he's very active until he goes to bed. In the morning he needs time to wake up, but he has strength throughout the day because of the substances he does (the only somewhat safe one being caffeine);

2. When it comes to weapons, he has more skill with knives, compared to guns. He had used guns in the past, of course, but he doesn't have good aim (and he has been shot at which made him afraid of dealing with guns), so he sticks to pocket knives, carrying them almost everywhere he goes. He has a srbosjek, which is barely in use and starting to get quite rusty. A fan of basic kitchen knives, but only for special occasions, since he can't just carry them all the time;

3. Has very strong facial features, big nose and full eyebrows. His arms and fingers are bone-y, he has almost no muscles because of his diet and (substance) habits. His fingernails are very short because he's afraid of what others will think if he grows them out to be long and sharp (which he prefers);

4. His attraction to Vuk is purely sexual. He loves his genitals the most, while being slightly less attracted to his body. Despite relating to Vuk, he doesn't like talking with him, except when they flirt; mostly because he doesn't want to be seen as similar to him by the others;

5. Loves listening to pop and pop folk, but represses it. He listens to ex-yugoslav rock, as well, though less frequently. His favourite artists are: Svetlana Ceca Ražnatović, Severina, Jelena Rozga, Oliver Dragojević and Branimir Štulić.

6. Doesn't share his opinions to anyone he interacts with in real life in order to keep his image clear. Because of this he runs a secret Croatian nationalist, neo-nazi blog where he posts rants and hate speech. He's very careful with it and shares almost no personal information, except for his family history and traditions, or anything else that makes him indistinguishable from any other Croat.

7. Cut his hair off in 1940 (during Banate of Croatia) because he wanted to be seen as a changed person (he had long hair until then). He cut his side-burns off to make him look more masculine, but let them grow long during SFRY, so he would look different from how he looked during WWII, despite keeping the same, now watered down values he had to repress because of the country's politics (wa, wa, poor baby);

8. Loves plump, male bodies, but he makes fun of Vuk's. It goes as following:

He sees Vuk eating sweets and insults his weight; Vuk decides to diet so he won't be made of anymore; the next day Dražen takes him out to eat or cooks him unhealthy food, making him stay the same weight, or even gain some;

and repeats itself. This happens for a few reasons: Dražen finds Vuk's body attractive and doesn't want it to change, he loves teasing him, and he thinks that women would be all over him if he was fitter which he doesn't want;

9. He mostly eats savoury foods, but he gets cakes from time to time. Loves drinking coffee (has atleast 2 cups of espresso everyday) and red wine. Sometimes he skips a meal and sometimes he eats to the point of sickness. It varies, but he usually stays the same weight, when his weight does vary, it's usually 5 kilos more, or less.

10. His closet is filled with dark clothes. Most of them are some level of formal, but he also owns "house clothes" which he only wears inside and they are slightly dirty or ripped. Owns one or two pairs of trousers, the rest are denim jeans or shorts and pants. Has either black or white socks, having longer ones for winter and very short ones for summer. Uses armpit pads so he doesn't sweat during hot weather. Loves leather and wears it all the time;

11. Knows how to write using the glagolitic (both round and angular) and latin script. Never bothered to learn cyrillic, he doesn't know how to write text in the cyrillic script and he can only recognize a few letters in texts written in it. It's not necessary for him to know it, since Croatia isn't known for using cyrillic, but he needed it in Yugoslavia. Back then he understood it enough to read simple text written in the script, but still couldn't write in the script;

12. Has almost flat speech, but not as much as Enis. He only shows emotion in his voice when yelling and you can't tell his emotions based on his speech, except for anger. His voice almost shakes when he raises his voice which has been responded to with both pitiness and fear. Of course, he speaks with a central Croatian accent and dialect, with the Dalmatian dialect being almost foreign to him (poor knowledge of words used by Dalmatians). He speaks Croatian and English as a second language. Understands a bit of Italian and German and some Hungarian words (all because of past interactions with the people);

13. Writes frequently, but his works are only appealing at first glance. He prefers writing short stories or small 'essays' for his blog, while he writes poems once in a blue moon. Doesn't struggle with grammar or spelling, writing something that makes sense and has an interesting story behind is his only challenge that he can't seem to beat. He needs to get atleast a little bit sentimental to whip out a verse or two, otherwise, he doesn't consider it. The publishers have started refusing to publish his work because no one really reads his articles in newspapers. He thinks his writing is refined and unique;

14. Can only cook minimum effort and traditional dishes, and that's it. He doesn't try to learn to cook any dishes besides the ones he already knows because "they're too hard". Has cooked for the other yugotans in the past and they've enjoyed it, despite his meals not being anything special. Has only baked small buns and bread a couple of times before because he buys bread in the bakery. Goes out once a week (with exceptions), and mostly orders chicken or pasta at restaurants;

15. Used to have a fiat 500 (from what I can tell based on the photos) until it was destroyed. From then on he used public transport until he got money for a new car, which lasted for a year or two. He bought a Škoda Octavia which has shown itself to be pretty decent. He doesn't usually drive that much, unless he's going on vacation, but uses his car when he wants to go to a mall that's hard to get to by foot. Prefers walking to the store or the café, despite getting a bit 'woozy' when he walks for a longer period, due to his habits and build. Might edit later. If I think of anything I should add. Have this for now.

THISS but the yugotans probably don't go to the doctor and just toughen it out

I like thinking about what a check-up at the doctor's would be like for a nation. Like they get their knee hit with that little reflex mallet and the doctor is like "hmm, yes, something is up with the railroads in the south."

No but fr it's probably exactly like a normal physical except the doctor has to take into account the state of the economy or politics or any recent natural disasters. I feel like certain symptoms are like this:

Blizzard/cold wave = low body temp, mild frostbite, hypothermia in extreme cases

Capital crisis= cardiac arrest, fast pulse, high blood pressure

Disease outbreaks = whatever disease is widespread

Drought = dehydration, dry and flaking skin, rashes

Economic troubles/recession = common cold/fever, lethargy and fatigue

Flood = vomiting, kidney issues

Famine = malnourishment, hunger pains, eternal hunger

Earthquake = convulsions, dizziness, muscle cramps

Heatwave = heatstroke

Hurricane = dizziness, nausea, vomiting, shortness of breath

Political unrest = dizziness, nausea, headaches, stomach aches, mood swings, high blood pressure, auditory hallucinations, psychosis if severe

Tornado = dizziness, confusion, nausea, shortness of breath

Tsunamis = vomiting, dizziness, muscle cramps,

Volcanic eruptions = severe burns, high fever, coughing smoke, shortness of breath

Wildfires = burns, sometimes actual fire is visible, coughing smoke

And if there are any fatalities, other symptoms will show up depending on the death toll. symptoms such as PTSD, nightmares, hallucinations, and a profound sense of loss.
