this is the last panel of a longer comic i haven't inked yet but found it super cute on it's own, so here! iceland was added, so happy i have fellow bratty iceland lovers

#hetalia #aph dennor #aph norway #aph denmark #aph iceland #this is why teenage iceland is so embarrassed and distant #he remembers this clingy phase of his life too well #also i feel this is a good illustration of how i personally view these three's relationship #dennor i find to be a super teasing couple which i adore #denmark is just more outwardly honest than norway #how does one draw armor...#denmark's running pose is too heavy but he's wearing armor i'll deal with it

you'll NEVER guess what my favourite eurovision 2024 song is

youtube

#ι don't like how this looks but whatever ULVEHAM PROPAGANDA #mine #hws norway #hetavision #maia talks esc #new tag !!#additional context for whoever is curious #the song is based on norwegian folk tales and it's about a maiden who is transformed into a wolf by her stepmother #and she needs to drink her brother's blood to become human again #(so iceland is probably dead)#also the song uses vocalizations based on a traditional norwegian way of singing that's used to herd sheep #that's why he has the shepherd's staff :)

More clothing studies, this time from my fic Axis. I was aiming for authenticity while also trying to have each of their personalities show a little bit in their clothing choices. Two for Nicky, to show his layers.

#tog #the old guard #for reference the fic takes place in 1625 in iceland. i still don't think they're bundled enough though lol.#nicolo di genova #yusuf al kaysani #andromache of scythia #no quynh :(#these were a n i g t m a r e to crop correctly. tumblr why are you like this.#hence the cropping might look a little weird #siggy draws #i think these sketches took a month and a half lol. now i will be quiet about this fic and focus on writing something else.#what do we think about this style? the differently coloured lineart and the slight lighting? and the rough colours?#also i forgot my siggynature on ALL of these but that's ok. you know who i am sdfghf #my new obsession is clothing details i guess!! could always make it more detailed though! with lots of practice i can try.#no real director's commentary on these drawings like i usually write for my sketches asdsfgfd #just that this is mostly what they wear in the fic. add a coat for andy maybe and some mitts for joe.#and more weapons and bags and stuff #can't really see nicky's braids but he's got one big french braid and a few tiny ones on the sides of his head connecting to it.#his hair is like shoulder-blade length. it's about the symbolism!! of not making a change for a long time!! until he does cut it!!#and andy is wearing quynh's necklace under her shirt of course </3 #joe rolls his pantaloons above the knee for maximum movement (horseriding) and fashion (gay)#i have a crush on the first nicky sketch like he's so cunty for no reason #well. he's possibly supposed to be having a serious conversation/argument with andy #kudos to the ref picture i used of luca just standing Like That

Belle (2023) 🌹

#belle 2023 #max gold #iceland #listen i just want to talk abt this for a second #i watched belle recently and yes it is a take on beauty and the beast #and yes it had so much more potential than it delivered BUT #im not mad at it at all?#i enjoyed it and it the scenery? stab my through the heart with that beautiful landscape #also it just feels like a quiet movie if that makes sense?#its got this like subtle quality to it and idk how to explain it #i wanted more and things could have been MORE but im sitting here making a post about it bc i cant find anything else on here about it #its classified as horror and im not 100% torn on that label for it but i get why they did that #anyway if you want a slightly darker/grittier take on the story then maybe give this one a shot?#and really its just so pretty to look at #and there are no fix it type fics to make it the more i want but thats okay i am okay #movies

*Pink is sitting bundled up in a blanket at the entrance of Icelandic's residence (Idk if he lives in a mansion or somewhere else.... >_<) sleeping, ey are a mess. They seemed to have arrived sometime in the night*

(@pinkslenderman)

(OOC Pink is stressed and still as sick human and they didn't feel comfortable staying in eir own residence due to a very...pushy anon! So ey went here. (the one Selfcare...and Flirtatious have been dealing with since yesterday! Pink was not as ok as they were pretending ey were >_<))

*He quietly lifted Pink off the front porch and brought xem inside, setting them down on the couch near the fireplace. He went to the hallway closet and grabbed blankets and medicine and such.*

#human icelandic.#[[icey lives in a medium sized cabin they built themselves ^^]]#[[he also lives up by the snowy mountains and is probably very confused as to why pink wandered there alone]]

thank you europe for voting some ballads through and proving once again that they're not just for the juries 🙏🙏 I live for the constant embarrassment of tumblr's idea that The People™ only want loud and upbeat songs

also gives us a chance to have some kind of breathing room in the final thank god

#although The People are also why latvia NQ'd 😢#and loud and upbeat wasn't enough to save iceland 😭#eurovision #ribbit

I’ve been learning Norwegian with books and Duolingo for the last (almost) year and every time I read “helgen” I instantly think of the exact opposite of what I’m supposed to think of. Practicing Norwegian? Think of Skyrim. Playing Skyrim? Why is this town named “the weekend”? I can’t win. The wrong one is always the first to come to mind

#emma posts #Skyrim #game developers: open up a Norwegian dictionary and point to a word at random #that’s a town now #it could also be a joke or something #I don’t remember if the start of the game takes place during an in-game weekend but if it does #the town only lasted a weekend (to you)#but a weekend implies two days #maybe it’s a Swedish word or something instead #I haven’t gotten that far into Swedish and Icelandic uses a lot of different letters #they seem to have gotten rid of a lot of them on the continental Nordic countries #but I don’t know ANY danish and I have no concept of Faroese (I am so sorry if I massacred the spelling)#I don’t have a Swedish dictionary so I’d have to use google translate or something to check #Icelandic seems to have more words for things than Norwegian but I’m not really learning that language yet #my grandparents decided to try learning Icelandic first and I am like. in awe but also a bit sorry #they don’t really have a reason to learn Norwegian and Swedish though. unlike me #and apparently Icelandic is the hardest to learn. which is why I developed my fantastic learning strategy #Norwegian seems slightly easier to learn as a native English speaker than Swedish does. and Icelandic is obviously the hardest. but it’s #also closest to their shared ancestor (remember I’m talking about language) so if I start with Norwegian it will be easiest and then #with each of the other languages the next should be easier than it would be without the other two #Norwegian and Icelandic have an interesting history as related languages but that’s not important to this discussion #but… Icelandic is all the same and Norwegian and Swedish have a whole bunch of regional stuff and oh boy idk #but all I need to know for the foreseeable future is how to read and listen #I don’t need writing and speaking yet #this would be so much easier if my grandparents had not just switched to English and forgot any of the other languages they grew up with #though the Icelandic ones didn’t speak much at all compared to my dad’s parents who spoke some of theirs as kids #I could know even more languages by now if everyone hadn’t just switched to English. though I keep forgetting how to write Spanish. that’s #only half related though. since it’s the second most popular language in my country we had some classes as kids and some media that was #bilingual but not enough for me to ever be fluent. plus I freeze up any time I try conversation because I get too nervous about making #mistakes. I’m so off track in the tags though

Back on that damn zoroark wiki page

#sigh. anways #h!zoros are said to have come back to life after death from a harsh environment which for some👏🏾reason👏🏾 i didnt register as a #u!zoro dying and coming back different (probably bc time n history why would the ancestor derive from the descendant) but its not an #ancestor its just a zoroark thats fucked up bc the region its in #additionally i didnt understand why it hated people AND pokemon (and still didnt rlly understand the ppl thing fully) but its cause they #were banished to the icelands by ppl and the pokemon there did not make it any easier so they died and came back from being so fucking Mad #and thats fucked up bc they are chill dogs!!!! so i get it id b mad too displaced by ppl u actively try to avoid and then u die in the only #place ur kinda allowed to be Plus the animals there are being jerks also ?? baneful fox is right #i feel like zoros still have a stigma abt them so i bet under the right conditions a modern zoro w the typing and nature of a hisuian one #is possible and i also wonder where the hisuian ones went cause i assume that ghost types dont die 2x and something w so much anger towards #everything its given the title of spiteful and baneful wouldnt just....go away that is a restless spirit lmao i cant imagine theyd just #move on so i like to think they r maybe just fuckin around in the mountains mostly unseen away from everything and maybe they r killin #things as just an unseen force idk i dont live in the sinnohan mountains #exhale Thats All!!!! known/common knowledge and assumed information but idc cause i wanted to talk anyways!!!#kae.txt

the curse of the bank holiday hit today, it pissed it down the entire day, i messed up my dinner (forgot an ingredient) and ended up spending all day cleaning and tidying bc i was bored doing nothing. What a damn waste of a day off.

#i also had to go to iceland to get pickle. So it was really wild. I got soaked :(#it wasn't even for me #i did manage to get some dairy free strawberry ice cream cones tho so there was a bright spot #why the fuck do vegan ice cream people NOT make strawberry???#there is a trifecta of main flavours y'all make chocolate and vanilla where tf is my strawberry????#i just want a pint of it or something :(

Aph sweden sometimes regularly and frequently signing things because speaking feels hard. He physically CAN speak but it’s no secret he had issues with it so will often choose to communicate with the other Nordics via sign 😌😌

#this also means he can easily gossip about people without them knowing #we all know sweden is a secret gossiper #but fr sign headcanons are so #chefs kiss #and like none of the Nordics think anything of it #they all know sign language bc I hc iceland and mute #so why would they be weird about using it???#hetalia #aph sweden

Oh, I'd submit Jerma for Doflamingo so hard, you have no idea.

I wish he was an actor so I could lmao

I honestly don't know him, but if you think he could act, that'd be good enough for me. But then again, someone already submitted him, so you don't have to anymore, unless you want to provide some additional propaganda (but you could do that on the poll as well, once it's out.)

Some general rules (gonna add this to the main post in a sec)

'Actor' doesn't have to have acting jobs on their name already, but you must be convinced they are able to act out the character convincingly, so acting jobs help.

Actors must be speaking English well enough for the job (accents are fine, they don't have to be native speakers).

If you've submitted anyone who doesn't follow these rules, please message me! Especially the English part is hard for me to find out sometimes, but if they've never played in anything English spoken, I'm inclined to think they don't speak English well enough. I set this rule to make it more realistic they could be cast in the actual live action.

#opla fan cast polls #ask #anon #not a poll #also I'm a bit biased against actors from certain countries #like Scandinavian actors might not have played in anything English but I'm convinced they speak English well enough #Italian and Japanese actors... not so much #this is not me being racist I swear this is purely based on my own experiences in these places #in Japan literally no one I met could hold a decent conversation in English - they often don't even wanted to try #in Italy they seemed to want to try more and a few spoke some English but a lot didn't #same goes for France and Spain to a certain degree #In scandinavian countries I've only ever found 1 person who didn't speak English more or less fluently 😅#(though this is based on mainly Denmark and Norway I have heard it's the same at least for Sweden and I think Iceland too)#I won't judge people from countries I've never been to #but anyway it would be great if you could keep this rule in mind #and even clarify why you think they speak English if they're not native speakers

Einarr, in his very old norse accent: “Bjørn-Sigurd. Bane of the undead.”

“Yeah, you. Mother’s-brother of Morten. You who hates vampires...”

[in actual old norse, barely understandable to the average norwegian] “If you ever touch my children, death shall come for you”

#low stakes 🦇#my comics #truelanguage tag #might as well make that a thing for whenever i decide to just... write it in the actual language they'd be speaking #what the runes actually say is: EF THU RØYRAR BORNUM MINUM... DEYJA THU SKAL #replace the th with thorn letters. þ < that one #my old norse is basic as hell and i apologize to every icelander out there #he's more eloquent than this #that's why i did it in runes tbh #easier to hide how basic it is hgfjdhg #also more intimidating #better at implying he's speaking an ancient tongue. you know #i'm still trying to learn it hahah #and i refuse to wait until i'm perfect #enjoy :>
