How would Germany react to coming home to find his girlfriend (who is on her period) asleep on the couch with his dogs curled up around her, sleeping as well?

Germany is that one guy who has a schedule and actually follows it. Why on earth would the “grind” stop just because he’s home from work? 

So whenever he lets himself in the humble (and spotless) abode that he shares with his girlfriend, the first thing he usually does is assess his surroundings to see if anything is out of place.

Being greeted with the sight of his girlfriend asleep on the couch would bring a tender smile to Germany’s face. Add his dogs Aster, Blackie, and Berlitz curled up around her, and his heart would just melt. 

He certainly wouldn’t mind sneaking this in his schedule.

But before entering the living room, he’d be sure to grab a warm blanket first. Then he would approach the couch quietly as not to wake her. (He has a German Shepard, a Doberman, and a Hovawart—of course they’d be awake by then and watching him with wagging tails.) He would place the blanket over her and softly stroke her hair for a few moments. Then Germany would head to the kitchen to prepare a warm drink, a heating pad, and her favorite snack. 

Only then would he follow the rest of his schedule. But he would make sure not to disturb her until she awakens. For now, he would keep their home clean, quiet, and comforting—just like he promised when they first started living together.

I love the difference between how Germany and France act with the EU. Like yeah Germany is kinda scary, but he's just trying to make sure everything is orderly and efficient.

And then there's France.

What They'd Do for a First Date (Axis, Allies, & Nordics)

Something very quick because I just really wanted to get this idea out there. Also, I'm spending more and more time on my 2p!Prussia x Reader fic, but I wanted to make sure the rest of y'all are being fed.

So here are my headcanons on where I think a large chunk of the Hetalia boys would do for a first date!

Italy: While Feliciano's down for pretty much anything, he'd want to make sure the first date is something special. As such, he'd plan a nice, romantic dinner for the two of you where he cooks the food.

Germany: Ludwig would want to have the date at his house where you'd bake something together. He'd rather make either cake or bread. But he'd be open to hearing your ideas on what the two of you can bake.

Japan: I can see Kiku taking you to a painting class. Nothing super fancy or advanced, but something small, simple, and fun. Something where the two of you can delve into your creative side.

Prussia: Gilbert would 100% take you to the movies. He'd be down for seeing whatever you wanted to see, though he's more partial to action/adventure films. However, he wouldn't be opposed to horror, as he likes the idea of you getting scared and holding onto him.

Romano: Lovino will take you on a long walk around Rome sightseeing. He'd be pointing out every last bit of architecture you see and would recite a full history of everything. He's also the kind of guy to wanna take you on a boat ride.

America: Two words; amusement park. Alfred will absolutely take you to an amusement park or a state fair where you'd eat all kinds of fried foods, go on all of the rides, and, if it's a state fair, take you to the petting zoo. He'd also stress over planning the perfect kiss at the top of the Ferris wheel where the two of you'd watch the fireworks.

England: A first date with Arthur would be at a bookstore similar to that of Barnes and Noble. He'd want to look at different books with you and then chat about them over a cup of tea at an adjoining cafe.

France: I know it's kinda cliche at this point, but Francis would bring you to a fancy restaurant for a romantic, candle-lit dinner. Preferably in an area of the restaurant that is somewhat secluded. Hey, if it ain't broke don't fix it!

Russia: Ivan would simply want to go for a walk. Nothing big and fancy. He's perfectly content with something quiet and simple. He'd want to just stroll around town and chat about any of your shared likes or hobbies.

China: Maybe this is a little funny, seeing as he's so old, but Yao would take you to a museum. Mainly to constantly fact-check the workers there, as well as the displays. Especially if it's a Chinese museum. He's been around for 4000+ years, honey. He knows more than the people who work there.

Canada: Okay, this can go one of two ways. Matthieu would either take you on a nature walk through the beautiful Canadian woods, or he'd take you to a hockey game. Either way, the night will end with the two of you going in for a kiss, only to get interrupted by Mr. Kumajiro.

Denmark: I know this is gonna sound ridiculous, but Mathias would absolutely take you to the Lego Store. There is no way you can convince me that this man doesn't love Legos. He'd get cute little minifigures made of the two of you.

Sweden: I can see Berwald either being content with sitting at home and drinking hot cocoa, going to a musical performance of some kind, or, dare I say it, going to an IKEA and talking about what pieces of furniture would look the best in his or your living room.

Norway: Lukas would take you out into the woods late in the evening for the two of you to stargaze. He'd point out different constellations and tell you the stories behind them.

Finland: Alright, we all know Tino's a cutie, but don't let that adorable face deceive you. A first date with this man will either end up with him taking you to a heavy metal concert, or taking you out sharpshooting.

[foolilazuli]

Do you think Germany has a lot anxiety about his brother dying one day, since the country of Prussia doesn’t exist anymore

Prussia: It might rain soon, I can feel it in my knees (or whatever other things old people say)

Germany, trying to hold back tears: Stop that, you’re not old. You still have more years in you!

[goldenstarprincesses]

Imagine nations having something really embarrassing happen to them. It could result in a death or simply be a whacky dare that they are forced to do.

They go on with their life thinking "wow, sure am glad no one saw that happen!"

Only to be flipping through the channels one night, some years or even decades later, to find out an entire Unsolved Mysteries episode about it. In horror, they quickly Google it. Only to find out an entire Reddit page dedicated to it, hundreds of YouTube videos, and TikTok's with millions of views.

Hi, can you please write nsfw headcanons about Axis having spicy dreams about a fem!reader?

Hello! I had some fun thinking of what kinds of dreams they'd have, so I hope I did them justice. I had the most fun with Japan's, honestly. 🤭 Thank you for sending in this request. I hope you like what I've written for you! 💜💜

CW: NSFW, MDNI, fem!reader, vaginal penetration, headcanons

Having a wet dream about you (Germany, Italy, Japan)

Germany

You were always strong-willed, able to handle yourself in any situation. However, that night he dreamed of you unraveling beneath him, completely and utterly losing all sense of self.

With a face that typically held a poised expression, your jaw was slacked and he had you panting for more. Only you could make looking pathetic sexy. Pushing both of you over the edge with one final thrust, he was abruptly woken up by his alarm.

Looking down, he groaned at the mess he made. However, the little bit of extra effort in the morning wasn’t something he was going to let sour his whole day.

Heading out the door at his normal time, he was at the track punctually, waiting for the other two to arrive. Japan was on time and Italy was running late just like every day. Looking over, he saw you coming.

His mind immediately recalled the dream he had of you, but he tried with all might to keep his composure, no matter how awkward he felt about it. You informed him that you thought it’d be a good idea to get back in the swing of things and start exercising again. He felt like you adding that being under his guidance would be the best decision was unnecessary, but that was mostly due to it making it hard to suppress the hue on his cheeks.

Clearing his throat, he instructed the session once Italy finally arrived. Remaining focused wasn’t something he thought he’d be struggling with that day.

Italy

With the cool wind coming through the window, rain started pitter pattering against the shingles. You were cuddled up with him, slightly shivering from the sudden chilly weather. Wrapping his arms around you, the sweet embrace easily drifted into wandering hands and heated kisses.

Curled up in his warm arms, he thrusted into you. Despite the early morning calling for lazy motions, you were hitting all the right spots for him. The nice breeze casted over him, sending a shiver down his spine. His breath was hot in your ear as he cooed sweet nothings upon climaxing.

Stretching under his newly soiled sheets, he didn’t have a care in the world. Feeling completely relaxed, he lazily made his way throughout the house.

Going about his day as normal - relaxing under a tree, eating, napping, taking a stroll in the park - he caught sight of you coming out of the shop.

Without thinking twice, he called out to you and made his way over. The conversation alluded to no lingering remnants of the previous night’s dream, seeing as he saw no real reason to dwell on it.

Exchanging pleasantries, he always enjoyed chatting with you. You were so kind and easy to talk to. With the wind picking up, you shuddered from the drop in temperature, immediately taking him back to that precious moment that never happened.

Japan

You’d just finished eating dinner and were now in the kitchen doing the washing up. You looked so sweet with the pink bow from your apron tied behind your back. You took really good care of him, leaving him wanting to give you a bit more attention that night.

Wrapping his arms around you, he kissed your neck tenderly, whispering how good you were to him. Yanking your skirt up, he thrusted into you with fervor that had you quaking. As you gripped the kitchen counter, you bit your bottom lip so as to muffle your low moans. Cupping your breasts from behind, he placed soft kisses along your shoulder. With a final wave of ecstasy consuming you both, the vibrations from his phone pulled him out of the post-nut haze.

Pondering there for a moment, he had a difficult time wrapping his head around the dream he just had. Besides the obvious, you weren’t his wife. You weren’t even dating. Trying not to overthink it, he proceeded to clean up.

Already shifting to that day’s list of things to do, he was out the door. Though the day was admittedly long, everything went off without a hitch and the dream felt like it was ages ago.

Seeing you outside of your place on his way home, you asked if he’d eaten yet. You told him that you’d prepared a bit too much food and if he’d like, he was welcome to join you.

Taking you up on your offer, he was thoroughly enjoying spending quality time with you. Offering to help clean up, you were grateful for his kind gesture. Trailing behind you, he saw you put on an apron, making the dream feel all too real.

[forkbirtuna]

Since Ludwig is sometimes depicted wearing glasses, I like to think that the reason why he furrows his eyebrows so much is because he's squinting and just trying to see without his glasses, because wearing them all the time can get inconvenient in some situations

Guy who never looks the same when I draw him

[hwsing]

nsfw alphabet for germany and/or prussia? thank you!!!!

germany nsfw alphabet

notes: 18+, reader is gender neutral and i don’t think genitalia is really mentioned. includes: germany (ludwig). as always, reblogs are appreciated!

cws: mostly top + dom! ludwig; cockwarming, power dynamics, restraints/bondage, piss kink, pet play, size difference, toys, overstim + edging, pet play. let me know if i forgot any through replies, anon or PMs. wc: about 2k words. not really proof read.

A = Aftercare (what they’re like after sex)

king of overthinking so trust that he’s likely to go above and beyond, especially at first. it’s also partially because he’s pretty deep in kink culture, but not quite porn dead brained; instead, he’s like… really conscious of being mindful. he’s not really the type for pillow talk and he can get pretty flustered after sex, so he’s gonna busy himself with getting you what you need.

B = Body part (their favorite body part of theirs and also their partner’s)

for him, it’s probably his overall physique since we all know this madlad works out like the world is about to request him to singlehandedly carry it on his shoulders. as much as he can be self critical, he’s pretty proud of himself!! he likes the confidence he can have in his strength and health and all that good stuff.

on his partner’s, he’d probably say something like their smile in an almost bashful way, but in reality it’s going to be their chest/hips/thighs/butt; whichever catches his attention the most, really. he just feels a bit bad that he’s that perverted, but you’ll know by how much he pays attention to that spot. i think he’s a boob guy (regardless of size/gender) though

C = Cum (anything to do with cum, basically)

ludwig is nasty in a way that should be studied. for someone who is so neat, he is very messy with cum — *both* yours and his. the type to kiss you after you swallow his cum, to stuff his fingers into whatever hole he creamed into to ensure it doesn’t leak, make you suck his fingers after getting you off with his hand. he likes to cum in you, but he does like how demeaning it is to cum on your body

D = Dirty secret (pretty self explanatory, a dirty secret of theirs)

what isn’t a dirty secret of his would be easier to answer… everything is a dirty secret to him. he’s a private person, okay! god forbid you somehow find his private tab. regardless of if you’ve been dating for years or a short time, he’s so embarrassed that he’ll go red.

E = Experience (how experienced are they? do they know what they’re doing?)

he’s not super experienced because 1. he has little to no game, ESPECIALLY with feminine presenting people and 2. he’s always been pretty busy. by modern day and age he’s by no means a virgin, though. he’s gotten around enough — but he still is pretty awkward and tense at first. knows what he’s doing, but can find it hard to actually go through with it is all. give him a second to hype himself up!

F = Favorite position (this goes without saying)

anon stop it you’re embarrassing him with these questions :( LOL no but he’s pretty versatile, probably likes positions you’ve never even heard of but … maybe the seashell is his favourite. overall, likes positions where he can more or less go to town and put some weight on you, because even when bondage isn’t involved he’s inclined to pin you down.

G = Goofy (are they more serious in the moment? are they humorous? etc.)

please do not make a joke while his dick and balls are out they’ll literally shiver up inside him and never come out again

H = Hair (how well groomed are they? does the carpet match the drapes? etc.)

when he has a partner he’s extremely well groomed. shaves by default but if his partner makes it known they like some bush he’ll grow some out

I = Intimacy (how are they during the moment? the romantic aspect)

intimacy is something ludwig struggles with a bit. he worries he’s too awkward and just butchers it, completely ruining the mood; still, he definitely tries, especially when things are still just starting. he’s not very smooth with sweet words, and he knows he isn’t either. so, this intimacy is going to come from what he’s doing — the way his strong hands carefully hold you, how his lips kiss up your leg while he undresses you, the feeling of him holding your hands tightly while fucking you.

he does find cockwarming to be extremely intimate. ludwig does like it quite a bit; he’s not easily overstimulated either so he can handle it for a good period of time as well. he likes to big spoon for peak intimacy… holding you makes his heart almost give out

J = Jack off (masturbation headcanon)

this isn’t terribly uncommon for ludwig. his sex drive is high, and he doesn’t get game often. he will use his own imagination, but only under the condition that something is inspiring him; for example, his crush or partner. otherwise, he has plenty of porn saved.

K = Kink (one or more of their kinks)

we would be here all day if i said all of them. so lets just unpack a few

power dynamics: he kind of needs a sub/dom dynamic in the bedroom. he greatly prefers being the dom, but he can find it a bit hard to bring himself to actually act on his desires. and so, he really, really likes when you play up the submissive thing; the more pathetic you are, the more he’s gonna feel the urge to make you a mess. his mess though! he’s likely to manhandle you since he’s… probably stronger than you.

restraints: he’s not super picky with this one because as long as you’re at his mercy he’s satisfied but, he REALLY likes bondage benches. loves them actually. be warned because he’s gonna go to pound town with this one

piss kink: very into humiliation and he’s not above purposely making you piss yourself. the more embarrassed you are, the better, really; he’d entertain the idea of pissing on or in you as a punishment. would understand if you are not into this though because he is self aware enough to know it’s nasty

pet play: feel like this one is a given but anyways, he does like the kitty thing but he especially likes the puppy side so he can train and discipline you.

L = Location (favorite places to do the do)

anywhere around his or your house/apartment. “risky” sex would spike his anxiety in ways that should not be apart his foreplay… overall prefers a bed but he’s not above fucking you bent over the counter or smushed up against the wallz

M = Motivation (what turns them on, gets them going)

unfortunately for him, just about anything. he’s horribly down bad. the lingering scent of your perfume/cologne/etc after you leave is enough for him to get him stiff.

i would say his biggest turn on’s though are; times when your size difference (if there is one) is prominent, when you’re struggling physically with something (the small groans/moans/whimpers… his mind travels FAST), and if you wear makeup. he likes the idea of ruining it

N = No (something they wouldn’t do, turn offs)

this is hard because i struggle to imagine him having a big no other than, like, surprises/not respecting boundaries and things of that nature. he’s pretty open minded because he of all people has no room to judge…!

O = Oral (preference in giving or receiving, skill, etc.)

here

P = Pace (are they fast and rough? slow and sensual? etc.)

prefers fast and rough for obvious reasons.

Q = Quickie (their opinions on quickies, how often, etc.)

does not like quickies. ludwig can see the appeal but… he’s only going to do it if he gets caught up in the moment enough to. not a common thing to expect from him

R = Risk (are they game to experiment? do they take risks? etc.)

now you already know. he’s pretty open minded. the main times he’d be hesitant would be if the idea includes him bottoming or subbing, but he’s usually still down to at least try once

S = Stamina (how many rounds can they go for? how long do they last?)

he generally lasts a decent amount of time, but the first few times he sleeps with his partner he tends to take forever to cum because he gets SO nervous he cannot let himself. he prefers 2-3 rounds generally, but he does draw them out as much as he can. generally, he makes you cum at least twice before he does at all.

T = Toys (do they own toys? do they use them? on a partner or themselves?)

he’s easily one of the most into toys out of the cast in my opinion. he doesn’t like them on himself as much as he likes using them on you. he does have a handful, but will expand the collection with his own money if he discovers more online or his partner shows interest in a new one. i wrote a bit about this here

U = Unfair (how much they like to tease)

him being a sadist is well known i think 😭 he’s nervous to do it at first, as he is with everything, but once he feels comfortable prepare yourself because this man will not be your peace in the bedroom. whether it’s edging or overstim, making you get off on his boot or thigh, keeping you restrained with one of those fuck machines… he’s awfully creative.

V = Volume (how loud they are, what sounds they make, etc.)

ludwig isn’t very loud and isn’t very talkative. unless he’s in enough of a headspace to degrade you anyways……. he groans quite a bit when he gets close but he’s not much of a screamer. even when he does talk during sex, it’s pretty much to the point and without many filler words. he does check in pretty often though, just to see how you’re doing.

W = Wild card (a random headcanon for the character)

gets a lot of dom drops/post nut clarity after particularly intense sessions but he’s very reluctant to share this. he just feels embarrassed/ashamed about reaching out for reassurance or comfort. it’s pretty easy to tell when he’s feeling like this though, he’ll be extremely quiet and have a tense look on his face while he goes extra with your aftercare while completely neglecting himself

X = X-ray (let’s see what’s going on under those clothes)

now rarely do i give a man the credit of being well endowed but… i have to say that he is. i simply cannot picture him without a massive dick. i personally would guess around 8”, thick AND veiny; most certainly struggled to know what to do with it at first but he discovered the power of it soon enough!! actually kind of shy about it because he’s had a notable amount of experiences with a partner being iffy about how big he was. lmao

Y = Yearning (how high is their sex drive?)

clearly pretty high. he’s also pretty well disciplined though, so it’s not enough to like.. take over his life or anything. ends up sexually frustrated often because of this… he has a poor habit of ignoring his needs

Z = Zzz (how quickly they fall asleep afterwards)

ludwig doesn’t usually fall asleep after sex unless it’s like just before his usual bed time. and even then, he probably will fall asleep after you since he’s busying himself with aftercare and whatnot. sleeps the best after getting to empty his balls once or twice though!

How would the main 8 react to receiving head?

This one literally has taken me so long to write 🫣🫣 I kept having to take breaks because I kept becoming self aware so I had to pause and stare at the wall for a moment to feel normal again. You all had better appreciate this 😭

Feliciano

Every sound out of his mouth is a praise of how wonderful you're making him feel

Strokes your face and runs his hands through your hair but doesn't pull normally

He enjoys videoing his partner giving him head, especially videoing the part where he cums

Likes to cum in his partner's mouth and make them show him after before swallowing

Enjoys when his partner licks him clean

Ludwig

Groans occasionally, especially as he cums, but for the most part is quiet and very, very red

When he's dominant I think he would enjoy fucking his partner's mouth like a fleshlight

Always pulls hair, and when he cums he pushes his cock balls deep into his partner's mouth

Likes to tie his partner's hands behind their back when they suck hi off

Very apologetic and sweet after if he feels like he was too rough

Kiku

On the quiet side: breathy sighs that border on groans, and calls out your name when he cums

He'll hold the back of your head but doesn't pull your hair (usually, at least)

Too overwhelmed to make eye contact, so he covers his face with his forearm (if he does make eye contact he risks cumming immediately

Really enjoys facials: he prefers to cum on your face or chest as opposed to down your throat

Extremely sweet and loving afterwards, and probably repaying the favor soon after

Alfred

Moans like a porn star: good luck being discreet (Matthew has overheard on more occasions than either brother wants to think about)

Bucks his hips and pushes his partner's head down if they'll let him: you'll have to tie him up if you want him to hold still, though

When his partners have long hair he likes to wrap it around his hand while they suck him off

Prefers to give facials but usually cums before he has the chance to pull out

Usually when he receives blow jobs they immediately transition into fucking

Arthur

Another blushing mess, and slightly loud (he almost could be described as whiny but hates the term)

He probably enjoys having his partner under his desk sucking him off

Enjoys a little bit of teeth: not enough to hurt but enough to feel

If he's feeling really dominant he'll make his partner kiss it after

Kisses his partner after to taste himself on their mouth

Francis

Usually Francis is on the quieter side so that he can hear his partner better, but since their mouth is otherwise occupied he moans and praises freely

His hands are either still or stroking his partner's face so he gets a clear view of the show

Likes getting blown in public, especially if others can hear, but hates the idea of making his partner get on their knees in a less than hygienic spot (not enough to not do it though)

Either cums down their throat or makes his partner stop so that he can wait and cum during penetrative sex

Rarely does he ever receive head without following it up by going down on his partner or having sex immediately after

Ivan

Heavy breather until he cums, then he groans loudly

Likes to instruct his partner on how to suck him off

He's scared he might hurt his partner, so tends to stay very still aside from the hand on the back of their head.

If his partner has tits he prefers to cum on them, but really isn't picky as long as he cums

Takes pictures of his partner after, and loves if he's made a mess of their face (has a soft spot for messy makeup)

Yao

He's either quiet or dirty talking with no in between

His favorite position to receive head is sitting on the couch with his partner on their knees on the couch beside him and bent over slightly so their ass is in the air: he likes to reach over and jerk them off while they blow him

Enjoys being woken up by his partner blowing him

He thinks facials are gross and prefers to cum down their throat

Blow jobs are his favorite treatment for insomnia

Hetalia characters when a baby stares at them

[lady0ctavia]

When They See Their S/O Crying (Axis)

Headcanons for how I think the Hetalia characters would act if they walked in on their S/O crying.

Italy: The moment he sees tears running down your face, Feliciano's heart breaks into a million tiny pieces. Without a moment to spare he is by your side, taking your face in your hands, prompting you to look at him. He'll sit you down on the couch with an arm around you, the other one holding onto your hand. He'll ask you what's wrong in the most quiet, gentle voice he can. If you can't respond due to your tears, he'll let you cry on him. I can also see him being the kind of person to try and comfort you by making you a special dinner that night.

Germany: "H-Hey, what's wrong?" Is what Ludwig will ask as soon as he walks in on your crying spell. While he's not the best at comforting others, he does know what it's like to have to cry on his own, and he doesn't want you to go through that. He'd gently place his hands on your shoulders and look you in the eye, calmly insisting to know what's happening. If you cannot answer him, he'll take you in his arms and gently sway you side to side. He'd allow you to cry into his chest for as long as you need. And when all is said and done he'll be getting you some water. Crying does make one dehydrated.

Japan: Kiku would immediately reach for your face and begin wiping your tears. "Sweetheart, what is wrong? Why are you crying?" His voice is as gentle and sweet as always. He'd sit you down on the couch and hold onto you, wrapping a blanket around you. He'd allow you to lay on him, with his fingers gently running through your hair or just patting your head. He'll shush your cries and allow you to gather yourself before pressing forward with questions as to what's the matter.

Prussia: Gilbert won't even say anything initially. He might just be surprised for a second before immediately wrapping you in his arms, holding you tight as he runs his fingers through your hair, even nuzzling into the crook of your neck. He'll whisper comforting things into your ear and, similar to his brother, gently rock you side to side in an effort to calm you down. When you're ready to talk he'll softly take your face in his hands, looking you in the eye with the most worried look you've ever seen. And again, like his brother, he will also be getting you wanted to re-hydrate with.

Romano: Lovino would be surprised and unsure of what to do initially. He'd pause, as if trying to assess the best thing to do. He'd gently grab your shoulders and make you look him in the eye, insisting to know what's wrong. He'd sit down and bring you to his chest, letting you cry into his shirt, whispering sweet nothings into your ear. When all is said and done, he'd recommend doing something to get your mind off of what's troubling you. Painting? Gardening? Taking a walk? He's all yours. There's also a chance he may try to phone Feli for some advice.

[foolilazuli]

I’ve said Germany would be scared of his brother dying, but you know what would hurt him even more?

Prussia getting dementia

[hetalian-veteran]

Hetalia Headcanon #10

Despite everything, Austria still views Italy as a son to some degree. As a result, he makes it a point to send him a birthday card every year, and occasionally invite him over for the holidays. Sometimes Italy accepts the invite, and sometimes he doesn't.

Austria has also learned that, if Germany is staying home for the holidays, Italy is guaranteed to come over if invited. Because of this, Austria likes to try and keep Germany around during the holidays, so he can have his "family" together during that time of the year.
