THE DESCRIPTION OF SAINT HYACINTH OF POLAND Feast Day: August 17

'Święty Jacku z pierogami!' (St. Hyacinth and his pierogi!)

Hyacinth was born about 1183 in Kamień Śląski near Opole (southern part of Poland) in a noble family. He studied in Paris and Bologna and after his return to Poland, he became a priest and a canon of the cathedral of Wawel in Cracow. In 1220 he accompanied Iwo Odrowąż, who was bishop of Cracow, to Rome where they met St. Dominic.

There in 1221, he received the religious habit from St. Dominic himself. After a short stay at Santa Sabina, he came back to Poland. On his way, Hyacinth established a Dominican priory in Friesach in Carinthia. In 1223 he settled at the Holy Trinity church in Cracow where he founded the first Dominican priory in Poland that since that time has been existing without interruption.

St. Hyacinth was a tireless apostle and a great missionary. He established Dominican priories in many Polish dioceses as well as he went to Prussia, Ruthenia and Lithuania spreading the faith. Because of his zeal and evangelizing work a lot of people were converted and many churches and priories were built. He came back to Cracow in 1243 and he died there on August 15, 1257. He was beatified by Pope Clement VII in 1527 and he was canonized by Pope Clement VIII in 1594. His tomb is in the Dominican church in Cracow.

There are many legends associated with St. Hyacinth. One of them explains why he is very often depicted with a monstrance containing the Blessed Sacrament and with a stone statue of Our Lady. This legend says that during a Tatars attack on Kiev, Hyacinth wanted to prevent a sacrilegious attack, so he went to the chapel to take and save the Blessed Sacrament from the tabernacle. But at the same time he heard the voice of Mary, asking him why he takes her Son, but he leaves her. Hyacinth was worried, because the statue was very heavy, it was made of alabaster, but Mary promised him to make it very light and so it was, so Hyacinth could carry it. For this reason he is usually shown holding a monstrance and a statue of Our Lady.

The Polish exclamation (see above) is an old-time saying, a call for help in some hopeless circumstance, and it has derived from two legends.

One of them is about his visit on July 13, 1238, to Kościelec. During his visit, a hailstorm broke out, destroying crops and leaving people with the terrible prospect of poverty and famine. Hyacinth told them to pray. The next day, the crops were miraculously restored. The people then treated Hyacinth to pierogi made from those crops as a token of gratitude. The second legend mentions Hyacinth feeding people with pierogi during a famine caused by the Mongol invasion of 1241.

Hyacinth is the patron of pierogi, weightlifting, those in danger of drowning, and the University of Santo Tomas-College of Tourism and Hospitality Management.

WHAT HAPPENED TO THE US AS IT ENDS UP MEDALLESS

by Bert A. Ramirez / September 11, 2023

The United States basketball team, which was expected, as it always is, to take home the championship in this year’s FIBA World Cup no matter how its all-NBA aggrupation is configured, finished without a medal after being beaten by Canada 127-118 in overtime in their bronze-medal game to fall out of the podium for the second straight World Cup competition.

The Americans not only fell to a less loaded Germany in the semifinals but also ended up medalless by being unable to overcome a history-making Canadian team despite a miraculous three-pointer by Team USA’s Mikal Bridges with six-tenths of a second left that forced their game into overtime.

So what happened to the bastion of the sport, the game’s undisputed stronghold to fail to even get on the podium?  Simply saying that the rest of the world has caught up doesn’t tell the whole story.

First, the lack of time to play together has always given Team USA a problem.  Unlike European teams, for example, whose nucleus play together every summer for years on end even in the case of those who have commitments to professional leagues, including the NBA, the Americans can’t do that, resulting in a lack of chemistry inside the court.  Take note, “inside the court,” and not in the locker room as in the case of this US team whose players obviously liked each other.

US coach Steve Kerr admitted to this problem but said there’s no clear solution to it.  "I'm not sure how you would do that," Kerr said.  "If you want to ask the same 10 guys to play every summer, I think that's very unrealistic.  I love being part of USA basketball.  I think our players really enjoy it as well.  And part of the deal is you pass the baton."

Jerry Colangelo, who was at the helm of the men’s basketball team as its managing director for 16 years until the 2021 Tokyo Olympics before Grant Hill took over, also wanted players to make a commitment similar to what their European counterparts do, even if for just a few years, but that apparently did not work out.

So what has happened is that in this FIBA World Cup, only the second-tier players were generally available as those who led Team USA to the gold medal in the last Olympics, like its top two scorers Kevin Durant and Jayson Tatum, apparently begged off.  This has got to stop if the US is to avoid a continuous slump in the FIBA World Cup.

 “This issue is the biggest challenge to American basketball supremacy since the Dream Team,” ESPN senior writer Brian Windhorst, who came over to Manila for the FIBA Worlds, said.  “It isn't a new problem, but it's a real one.  And unless the US brings its premium and older perimeter talent –Stephen Curry hasn't played for Team USA since 2010, LeBron James hasn't since 2012, Kevin Durant has skipped the past two World Cups -- the burden to overcome this challenge is getting higher.”

Corollary to this issue is also the quality of big men the US has been able to present against opposing teams.  In this tournament, the American bigs were clearly outmanned by their counterparts.  In their games against Montenegro, Lithuania and Germany, for example, the Americans were “outsized,” in the words of Windhorst, inside, giving up 53 offensive rebounds and 64 second-chance points.  No wonder Team USA had to come from behind a double-figure deficit against the Montenegrins before winning by 12 points and lost to both Lithuania and Germany.

Illustrating the disparity in play between the US bigs and those of their counterparts is that crucial semifinal game against the eventual champion Germans, where Daniel Theis had a total of 21 points and five rebounds against the combined 13 points and five rebounds of Team USA’s Jaren Jackson Jr. and Bobby Portis Jr.

Jackson is the reigning Defensive Player of the Year in the NBA and Paolo Banchero, this year’s Rookie of the Year, is no wimp either but it’s obvious they still need a lot of seasoning in order to measure up, nay, overpower their European rivals, particularly as the defense in the international game has become more physical compared to the NBA where the no-hand-check rule has turned the league into what some say is a “soft” league.

Still, there are some who’re saying that Team USA’s All-Star coaching team of Kerr, Erik Spoelstra and Tyronne Lue might not have maximized their lineup enough to get the most of the team.  Kevin O’Connor, for one, said that seven-foot Walker Kessler, the No. 4 shot blocker in the NBA with 2.3 per game as a rookie with the Utah Jazz, did not get enough floor burn, averaging just eight minutes of playing time throughout the competition.

“Not playing Walker Kessler was a massive mistake by Team USA,’ O’Connor said.  “Kessler is an elite rim protector and rebounder, and we saw all season in Memphis how Jaren Jackson was way better at the ‘four’ next to Steven Adams.  Things would’ve slotted better into place with this lineup.”

Of course, the presence of Bam Adebayo of Miami and Brook Lopez of Milwaukee, to name just two, would have made a big difference for the US at the power slots.

But polishing things up at the seams might also do just so much considering the way European teams play nowadays, utilizing a system of good, precise ballhandling as well as player and ball movement to go with a combination of defenses that can stymie the one-on-one style NBA players are fond of.  And that can only be made possible for the Americans if they – both players and officials alike – come together to commit to a program that will make such a system and style of play possible, which means spending the time that their rivals do every offseason.

Bottomline: The Americans may still be the best players in the world but short of overpowering opponents with an All-NBA Team lineup (which is different from a mere all-NBA squad), there’s no realistic way for them to consistently dominate anymore except through such a system that gives more premium to precision and teamwork.

As Kerr himself said, “The game has been globalized for the last 30 years or so, and you know, these games are difficult.  This is not 1992 anymore.  So players are better all over the world, teams are better, and it’s not easy to win a World Cup or the Olympic games.”

Story of a one-sided Marriage. Or is it? (Hetalia Norway x Fem!Reader)

(I do not own the picture above)

WARNINGS: 

-  Prompt 22: “I’m tired of having my heart broken like this. I’m done.” - Arranged Marriage - Slight Angst

I will be using their human names: Norway = Lukas Bondevik Denmark = Matthias Kohler Finland = Tino Väinämöinen Poland = Feliks Łukasiewicz Lithuania = Toris Laurinaitis France = Francis Bonnefoy Your Country = (C/n) = Your name = (Y/n)

Context: (Y/n) and Lukas are put in an arranged marriage for the benefit of their both countries. Unknown to Lukas, (Y/n) has secretly loved him for a while and was quite happy about the news, and tries to get closer to him after the wedding. Lukas however, ignores her attempts and keeps his distance much to (Y/n)’s agony.

Third Person’s POV:

“Hey gal, how’s the married life treating ya!” (Y/n)’s loud friend, Feliks asked in the middle of the World Meeting.

“It’s fine I guess.” She replied bluntly.

The blonde Pole raised an eyebrow. “He’s like, still avoiding you, isn’t he?”

(Y/n) nodded and sighed. “Sometimes I think he just hates me or something. I try to get closer to him, but he just ignores me or just flat out leaves. On the rare times he does speak, it’s very blunt and short. I try to be the perfect wife, I really do. We even sleep on the same bed, but I rarely see him because he only comes to the room really late at night. Sometimes when I do wake up before him, I consider it a blessing enough to be able to caress his peaceful face as he sleeps.” Unknown to her, a small smile had made it’s way to her face.

“You really sound like a wife talking about her husband. Your face is just filled with love as you speak of him!” Francis smiles, walking over to the duo.

“Yeah, I totally agree! I swear, Norge’s like super blind not to fall for you. You are super wifey material! Well, unless he’s in love with someone else. Then girl, you’re screwed.” Feliks clicked his tongue at the last part.

Francis gasped daintily. “How can a man possibly be in love with another woman that isn’t his wife?”

“Well is was an arranged marriage. Feliks could be right. There’s a big possibility that he loves somebody else. Maybe that’s why he always avoids me and comes home late. He’s probably out with the one he actually has feelings for. I feel horrible, I feel like I’m keeping him chained up from loving the person of his heart.” (Y/n) sighed, looking down at her feet.

“Hey! Don’t you like, ever dare say that again! You are my fabulous bestie and the most beautiful woman in the entire world!! He is blinder than that stupid Catboy from Miraculous, and if he doesn’t love you then it’s his loss!!” Feliks yelled, catching the attention of all the countries in the room.

“Eheh, Don’t mind us, keep doing whatever you were doing before!” Francis yelled back, slapping a hand over Feliks and (Y/n)’s mouths.

“And why, you bloody frog? And didn’t anybody teach you manners when it comes to women?” Arthur yelled over to the Frenchman, pointing to (Y/n) and Feliks, who was wearing his Pink frilly dress.

“Excuse you, I am totally not a girl!! I am a man!!” Feliks yelled, removing Francis’ hand off his mouth.

“...Well I’m pretty sure that (Y/n) is a girl, and that bloody frog’s hand is on her perfect mouth!!.” Arthur responds.

“I am NOT a frog, Angleterre.” Francis growled, approaching the Englishman, and the rest is history! Literally.

“Feliks, you can’t just yell that! What if he heard us? He would never want to even look at me anymore if he found out!!” (Y/n) begged him, clutching his arm.

“Uhm like, who would ignore you? You are literally the definition of perfect, girlie. You should tell him yourself!” He scoffed.

“Who would ignore who for finding what?” A monotone voice said, from behind the duo.

Lukas’ POV:

“Hey! Don’t you like, ever dare say that again! You are my fabulous bestie and the most beautiful woman in the entire world!! He is blinder than that stupid Catboy from Miraculous, and if he doesn’t love you then it’s his loss!!” A loud voice echoed in the meeting room. Like everyone else, I turned my head to see what was going on and to my surprise, I saw (Y/n) standing there with a pale face beside her friend, Feliks was it? 

“Hey Lukas, what’s up with your (Y/n)’s friend? Is everything alright?” Tino asked, as he tapped my shoulder.

“I don’t know. I’ve been here with you guys since the start of this dreadful meeting.” I replied.

“Norge, you gotta go check on her! I mean bro, she’s your wife and my awesome sister in-law!!” The stupid Dane yelled, nearly making me deaf.

“Fine, as long as it means getting away from all this noise.” I said as I started walking away. Seriously, what is it with them? I mean yes, she is technically my wife, but it was arranged. Besides, I’m sure she doesn’t love me in a romantic way. Well who would love a person that they’ve been chained for for merely an alliance?

As I got closer, I noticed that she and her friend have started conversing once more.

“Feliks, you can’t just yell that! What if he heard us? He would never want to even look at me anymore if he found out!!” (Y/n) begged him, clutching his arm.

“Uhm like, who would ignore you? You are literally the definition of perfect, girlie. You should tell him yourself!” He scoffed.

“Who would ignore who for finding what?” I asked.

(Y/n) froze and started to pale, as her friend merely smirked and pushed her towards me, and the two of us collided.

“Like finally bro, it’s about time you showed up! Like what kind of partner would leave his wife hangin? Well, I’m gonna go and catch up with Liet (Toris) now!” Feliks grinned, skipping away.

“Oh my god Lukas, I’m so sorry. I didn’t mean to fall for you- I mean fall on you, I swear!! Sometimes I don’t know what goes on in Feliks’ head sometimes...” She apologized with her face red. Is she alright? Does she have a fever?? 

Third Person’s POV:

Lukas placed his warm hands on (Y/n)’s cheek and forehead, causing her to get even redder, putting Antonio’s tomatoes to absolute shame.

“L-lukas? Wha?” She mumbled, too dazed to speak.

“Your face is red. Are you sick?” He asked, sounding concerned.

“I- uh, I don’t think so... It’s just pretty hot today I guess.” (Y/n) manages to say.

Immediately, Lukas retracted his arms and regained his poker face. “That’s a relief. Well, it seems that you’re alright now. I’ll be off.” he said as he started walking away towards the rest of the Nordics.

Almost immediately after Lukas left, Feliks cam back but this time brought Toris.

“That guy is starting to really get on my nerves! Honestly girl, I don’t know what you even see in him!” Feliks grumbled, as Toris nodded in agreement.

“I don’t know either.” She sighed.

“Maybe he just needs time? I’m sure he’ll warm up to you.” Toris reassured her.

“It’s been years, Toris. I’ve tried my best but he rarely notices me.” Tears started welling up in her eyes. “Dammit, stupid tears. I don’t want anyone to see me cry...” 

Feliks hugged her tightly. “It’s okay girlie, you can use us as your shields. We’re here for you, right Liet?”

Toris nodded and joined the hug and they had soon made a (Y/n) sandwich.

From afar Lukas watched them hug. However from his angle he couldn’t see Toris hugging (Y/n) as well, and only saw Feliks embracing her. He felt a pang in his chest. What was this feeling?

That evening, Lukas came home late as usual, but (Y/n) was not waiting for him like she usually did. He remembered how she would make him some coffee whenever he came home and tried to strike a conversation. Each time failed however, and they ended the night in silence. Tonight was different. (Y/n) was nowhere to be found. That was until two hours later, when the doorbell was rung.

Lukas immediately answered the door and was greeted by (Y/n), who looked exhausted.

“Hey, Lukas.” she smiled. However her smile looked strained. 

As usual, Lukas stayed silent. However in his mind, he had lots of questions. Where was she? Why did she come late? Did she have dinner? Yet he still kept silent.

And once again, the night was spent in silence.

The next morning when Lukas awoke, he noticed that (Y/n) was no longer beside him. He immediately got up. He also noticed that her things were no longer in the room anymore. Her cabinets were empty, along with her desk. As he was heading to the kitchen, (Y/n) was already at the table along with some coffee she had made for him, with the breakfast she had prepared, and beside her was her suitcase. As he sat down, he noticed an envelope of papers. Before he could ask about them, she started to take them out. 

Lukas’ eyes widened. They were divorce papers.

“(Y/n), what are these?” He asked.

“I... I think it’s better to... not be married anymore. I feel like it’s for the best. Our countries will still remain the same way it was, but we won’t be chained together anymore.” She sighed, looking away.

“But... why?” Lukas questioned, looking her in the eye. His heart started beating faster. Deep inside, he didn’t want her to leave. He wanted her to stay with him.

“I just don’t think that this is really working out. I know that this was all an arranged marriage, but I want to be with someone who doesn’t make me feel.... alone.” (Y/n) explained.

“But you aren’t alone. I’m right here.” Lukas reasoned.

“But you’re never really with me. It’s like your head is always somewhere else, and you rarely acknowledge me. And it hurts so much more than I want it to because.... well....”

“Because?”

“Because I’m in love with you!! And I’m tired of having my heart broken like this. I’m done.” She replied, shoving the papers to him and leaving the room. 

Lukas was stunned, but he knew one thing; he didn’t want her to leave. He couldn’t bare to see her leave him like this.

He immediately got up to chase her.

“(Y/n), wait!”

The girl ignored him, and continued walking away. 

Lukas had ran in front of the door, blocking her. “Speak to me.”

“No. I don’t want to.” (Y/n) replied, trying to push him away once more. 

He leaned in closer to her face; eyes red, and stained with tears. Without a second thought, he leaned in and kissed her warmly. She stiffened for a few seconds yet kissed back, melting into his warm touch.

“Lukas.... why?” (Y/n) asked the blonde, who had started wiping away her tears from her face.

“Please don’t leave me. Your feelings they aren’t one-sided.” Lukas replied.

“...What?”

“Jeg elsker deg.” (I love you) He smiled, and embraced her in his arms. The two stayed like that for a while, and (Y/n) decided to stay.

Haha alright, if you're up to another one maybe PolEst again with "You stayed?" or, if you want to write another ship instead, maybe EstLiet for the same prompt c:

OOoooo we need more PolEst/EstPol in the world sooooooo-

Prompt from this list, open to ask!

What really interests me about this ship is just the whole religious divide of it, I just began reading a book about Estonian mythology and even there was stated that Catholicism was never able to shake the paganism. I haven't found any info about the Polish-Lithuania era trying to do anything different to more try and get Estonians to truly become converted, so it's a interesting dynamic to explore sure that Poland and Lithuania wouldn't have maybe been as rough on him as the Teutonic Order and Livonia were.

______Tw implied religious trauma______

It was the nightless eve of Midsummer, when Dawn and Dusk get to touch without the seperation of the nightly sky.

War had been over for a few years already, but the wounds still ached, the concequences were still going to affect him for a long time.

Estonia was on his own right by a slowly dying bonfire, he had managed to convince Latvia - but also Lithuania, to spend a bit of time together on Midsummer eve. How did he manage to get Lithuania of all people who is meant to be a ruler of his to join in? Simple, he's become familiar with the brunette's personality, and a bit of reminding of the pagan days and just 'Harmless fun, besides someone should probably keep an eye on us don't you think?' managed to get the Lithuanian to hear him out and join him.

Although, at one point Poland did find them, but thankfully he was able to get Lithuania to convince the Pole they're just having a nice bonfire night. Also tell the Pole to just leave them be. Is he using and taking advantage of how easy it's to persuade Lithuania? Maybe a little, and he does feel a bit guilty about it, but he really didn't want the eve to get ruined by that heavily Catholic blonde that doesn’t seem to shut up.

After that he, Lithuania and Latvia all got to talk, almost like equals, which was still a new experience for Estonia, something he had only gotten to get a little bit from Sweden, but still not much. Soon enough though Latvia became tired, and so it was decided to go in for the night, but Estonia had requested to get to have time for himself, and miraculously, Lithuania seemed to trust him to not cause trouble.

Would recommend not to put so much faith in me like that, Leedu. He couldn't help but think to himself, but he was still absolutely going to cherish the time alone. He's gonna use this to be able to relax even a bit for a little before Livonia is gonna come over to punish him for it, like they always do.

Ugh, even when dissolved they still have power over me and Latvia, why can't Poland and Lithuania stop them? He can't believe he's the underling of an underling, how many times lower can that end up going? At least with Sweden he gets a break from Livonia, but he also feels a bit guilty about it because it means leaving Latvia alone with them. Lithuania did intervene when a fight had started between him and Livonia, but will he stop Livonia from punishing or humiliating Latvia when Estonia isn’t there? He doesn't want to have doubts, but he has. Why does life have to be so difficult?

"So like, how long are you gonna be all alone here in silence?" Estonia immediately sprung up from his seated position, turning around and quickly grabbing a nearby stick ready to have fire added to it if needed.

"WoaH woah calm down I'm not here to stab you or anything!" The Pole subtly rose his hands up to indicate he is not armed, Estonia still remained tense, even if he knows by now the Pole likely wouldn't at least, hasn't yet, raise a hand on him, it didn't mean he trusts him.

"What are you doing here?" Estonia suspected the Pole was maybe coming to call him back to the house.

"Well, I was waiting for this bonfire night to get finished up or something." Poland responded as he calmly approached, looking over at the fire that was set up safely to not cause any wildfires.

"You stayed?" Estonia asked rather surprised, raising a brow as he only then properly threw the stick into the fire. Did he really just wait around here somewhere or did he come back only now? He's gonna guess the latter, choosing to come after Estonia didn't go in with the two Balts.

"Well of course I did, I wanted in on this too!"

You? In on this?? Estonia didn't want to believe it. Before he understood if he wanted to tag along with the rest of the group but now it was just Estonia, why would he want to be here alone with him?

"So, tell me about what this whole thing is about." The Pole plopped down next to him, too close, making Estonia shift away to have distance. He wants to hear about his pagan traditions? Clearly the Pole hadn't fallen for the idea that it's just some bonfire night.

It has to be a trick! He is trying to find the roots to pull out. He was distrustful, many before Poland have tried to pull him away from the beliefs close to his heart, make him bow down to their one single mighty god, who in his perceptive, seems like quite the selfish and self-centred god at that, having people do their dirty work. Calling sin upon those who commit bloodshed but not punishing the ones who do it to spread the belief of him. Punish those innocents who simply don't want to put their faith in him.

I'd rather die than bow to a tyrant god like that. Estonia thought coldly, he swore he could feel the scar that runs from his shoulder to his chest, dangerously close to the heart, scorch with brief pain. It's been centuries but it feels like he can still feel the sword that had cut into it. All because some religious folk couldn't accept a no.

"Why would you want to know?" Estonia spoke with a bit of sharpness in his tone, he wanted Poland to be aware that he isn't going to fall for any of his attempts to get him to turn over.

"To know you better?" Poland simply said, giving a small shrug.

Lies, why would you wanna know anything about your peasant? Estonia kept being in denial. Even so, Estonia sees himself as stubborn, no matter what Poland may try he is not going to move over to actually liking their Catholic religion, so he chose to just tell him.

"Well, for starters, every Midsummer Eve people gather around to light a bonfire and spend time together..."

Poland would proceed to actually be quiet and listen for the rest of the night, only occasionally asking a few questions.

The armor like costume of the new sphinx holder clanged as he somewhat flew, well it wasn't great but he hasn't fallen yet. Okay not the point find Judas. And there she is along with the holder who presumably deakumatized her. He quickly landed and scooped her up with a wave to libe before taking back off with judas.

Libe sighed as he flew, as soon as he had the chance he had transformed. Wanting to get rid of the spike of stress that his family had brought with them. He shook his head, not wanting to think on that right now as he patrolled around. ask-miraculous-luciano

Candle Queen was searching for another holder when she noticed libe. “Jeez really are everywhere…” Just get the miraculous and done. “Hey you!”

Baltics Boyfriend Headcanons

Lithuania

For starters, he’s the sweetest boyfriend one could hope for

He loves you a lot and would do pretty much anything for you even if you don’t ask

definitely takes you out on dates often

probably picnics in more private/less populated areas

or home dates because let's be honest he probably makes bomb food

the type to send sweet and simple good morning and good night texts

maybe even the occasional midday ‘love you’ text

if you’re having a rough day you won’t be for much longer once he gets ahold of you

please be prepared to get pampered and coddled if you're stressed of upset about something no matter how big or small

he just wants you to be happy uwu

please treat him nicely

Toris craves a relationship where both people put in the same or similar efforts

he’s also not a fool and will notice at some point if you aren’t giving this relationship your all because while he’s kind of a pushover he’s also rational and can still stand up for himself if need be

tho it might take him a while to do that sometimes

overall: 100/10 please handle with care

Estonia

he cares for you a lot no doubt

however, he can come off as a bit awkward at times towards you

it’s just unfamiliar territory for him is all, but he’ll get the hang of it

Eduard is savvy tho, well tech-savvy anyways

so don’t be surprised to get gifted or sent cute things via text, email, him coming over with a flash drive or his computer, so that he can show what he made and/or programmed for you

it's honestly really sweet and cute since he puts a lot of hard work into these projects for you

if you’re having a rough day then you’ve come to the right place

he will definitely take care of you and bring your spirits up

will take you on classic dates

thinks like coffee shop dates, movies, the kind of things you’d find in movies or dramas really

he’s not really trying to copy them, but he finds they’re enjoyable for everyone and you can’t really mess up with something like that

Eduard really needs someone who treats him well and gives the same energy he gives

he doesn’t care if they don’t express it the same but please match his energy for the relationship otherwise he will have to let you go

overall: 10/10 he’s amazing in his own weirdly sweet way :))

Latvia

poor bub

honestly, he’s kind of a mess as a boyfriend

like...he wants to be there for you and be assertive and look cool....but he just isn’t that confident so you’ll have to cheer him up a lot

he is really amazing emotionally tho

as he’s a major crybaby and has a tendency to wear his emotions on his sleeve so he’s got a lot of experience dealing with them and usually their consequences so he’s got you covered there

please don’t get offended when he gets nervous and puts his foot in his mouth

he’s got an awful tendency when he gets nervous to start talking and he absolutely can’t read a room so please have mercy and either forgive him for probably insulting you in some way or stop him before he can start rambling

if you’re having a rough day please expect cuddles and his best attempts to make you feel better

he can’t make promises that he can fix the situations even tho sometimes he miraculously has solved your issues despite him not believing he could but he can promise to cuddle you and hold you until you aren’t sad

his dates are very cliché, at least at the start they are

please expect to go on very cheesy movie dates the yawning trick included and things like walks on the beach at night because he likes romance novels and those kinds of things are in them and the main character’s interest likes it so maybe you will too?

maybe if he’s feeling super confident he’ll write and gift you some poetry he either made or poetry he saw that made him think of you uwu

out of everyone Raivis needs someone who is really patient and kind-hearted as sometimes he can be a troublesome boyfriend

he can also get a bit clingy but he just loves you a lot and he wants to hang out with you every chance he can

overall: solid 7/10, he’s a bit confused but he’s got the spirit

Stay With Me

July 25 Prompt: Proposal/Pride

Pairing: Vilnius/Lithuania

@hwsocshipweek

When Tolys Laurinaitis had initially met Regina Runtiene, it was when they were kids. She had always been the more rough and tumble person while he was more go with the flow and happy to just be included. That first day of school the two of them had been playing with different things and she pointed right at Tolys, exclaiming, “You’re my friend now!” That caught him off guard, but he didn’t complain. A bonus to that is that she could protect him from the bullies, like Ivan’s sister Natalya.

As teenagers in high school, the two at some point had started dating. Surprisingly, it had been Tolys that had asked Regina, despite her being the more outgoing one. Their first date had been to see an action movie, followed by them at a restaurant. At some point along the time they dated, he was at the store getting who knows what when he found something interesting. A belt buckle with a five pointed bird wing on it. Finding it interesting, he purchased it for himself and after bringing it home he managed to attach it to the broken belt he had laying around. There, good as new. However, a little being had flown out of the belt buckle and revealed their name to be Lyyros. They explained everything that had been going on thus far with the sudden villain attacks in recent years.

At the current point in time, Tolys and Regina had been together for a couple years now and he hoped to go to the next level with her. That is, if nothing happened around the time he was hoping to ask her the question. Did he get a ring? Heck yeah he did. Did he figure out how he'd ask the question? Definitely yes. In fact, he had been on his way to see her when he took notice of someone leaping over him. Green eyes look at the person to see it's none other than vigilante Snow Leopard. Time to see where it is they're going. He rushed to hide where no one could see him.

“Lyyros, we’re airborne!” Tolys called out once at his hiding spot. His kwami, Lyyros, was sucked into his belt buckle and he transformed into a stork themed hero. And soon he was off following Snow Leopard, hoping to figure out who it was they'd be fighting. He figured that Snow Leopard knew he was following them. Once they made it to where they were going, Stork wasn't surprised to see it was the holder of the moose miraculous. "I'm assuming you have somewhere to be?" Snow Leopard asked and glanced at Stork from the corner of his eye, Russian accented voice apparent. "That's right," Stork said. "So let's make it quick." The strawberry blond nodded, red eyes looking back at Moose.

After their fighting was said and done, Stork ran off and hid before saying, "Landing position," and transforming back into Tolys. Now he can get back to seeing Regina. On the way there, he checked to see if the ring was still there. Sure enough it still was. A sigh of relief escaped the Lithuanian. Where did he meet up with the female Lithuanian? At the park, where she was playing with her friends Inga and Kadri, a Latvian and an Estonian respectfully. Almost immediately Inga and Kadri took notice of Tolys and nudged Regina in his direction.

"Hey, Tolys," Regina said. "Hey Regina," Tolys said. "Sorry I was a bit late, Moose was attacking and I had to stay inside while Stork and Snow Leopard dealt with her." “I see. It’s alright.” Phew, good. She doesn’t know he’s Stork. “Ready to get going?” Tolys smiled and nodded. “Yeah, let’s go.” He took her to the nearby basketball game, since he had gotten them tickets and he knew she liked said sport. During halftime, he pulled out the ring, got her attention, then got on one knee and showed it to her. Not only was this moment displayed on the screen above the court for those in the back to see, but it brought a smile to Regina’s face. She nodded and leaned down to kiss Tolys. Afterwards he placed the ring on her finger and stood up, hugging her and kissing her properly.

apppp eyyy

Mun Information:

Name: obfu!

Age (You must reveal if you’re under or over 18 years at the very least): -18

Main Blog: @ask-miraculous-nyopoland

Type of AU blog (art, writing, cosplay, greek pottery, let us know): art!

What is Shiv’s favourite colour (Refer to the Rules)? owowange

Muse Information:

Name (For Gods- whatever name they had when they ascended/ a name they are formally referred to as by the other gods): Giedrė Daukšaitė, her name when she ascended would actually be Rūta Laurinaitė, but she doesn't remember that past; thus doesn't refer to herself as Rūta, and calls herself Giedrė instead. (She would however respond to Rūta as she's awkwardly accepted that she's her.) 'Titles' include: The forgotten general, The forgotten soldier, The god of strategy.

Nation/ Place being represented:

Nyo!Lithuania

God or Human: God

Personality: Doesn't really talk much, she's still gaining her footing in the divine realm and is bassically a baby in god years. She's pretty stern yet flighty around the older/more powerful gods, which includes pretty much all the other gods, so she's anxious all the time. As a new god she's also somewhat uncertain of her powers and tends to nervously do paper work all day rather then expanding her followers.

If a God

How did they attain godhood?: In one of her last plans she purposefully sacrificed herself in battle to lull the enemy into a false sense of security and ensure that the rest of her plan would succeed. She may have died on the battlefield that day, but a few months later the war was swifly won.

What do they offer to worshippers?

Forgetting of pasts, acceptance of reality, and rememberance of the fallen. She helps the unsung heroes and guides the secret protectors. In moments where you're all alone and forgotten she'll make you remembered, or maybe she'll just sit down and have some tea with you. More commonly, however, she is asked for assistance in coming up with a strategy to do things when one can't for the life of them think of an idea by themselves. 'Things' range from an efficient means to remember numbers to world domination (however she is yet to help someone achieve world domination). While technically speaking, she is a martial god, she usually isn't asked for war related strategy as generals would prefer to place the trust of their thousands of men's lives in the hands of someone more well known, with a longer success record. Bassically, outside of martial strategy, she's a guardian diety; More specifically one who's guidance is often not directly seen nor noticed. Her help tends to be carried out in the form of animal mediums on Earth.

–

Additional background:

Giedrė lived a fulfilling yet unremarkable and average life as a simple farmer maiden, the only thing worthy of note would be the fact that she remained unmarried her whole life.

Under mysterious circumstances Giedrė has transcended to the divine realm. She's afraid there's been some sort of mistake and despite very nervously bringing it up with the hightmer ups she's been reassured multiple times that there's been no mistake and that she is Rūta Laurinaitė; Whoever that was.

Please include examples of your art/ writing/ etc and if possible, a snippet or piece dedicated to the AU character below:

"Oh great youre an ass how lovely," Genet stated before moving closer to the poodle akuma.

Genet was sitting on a ledge when he noticed the poodle from the corner of his eye quickly moving to get up he began approaching with a cautious "Sveiki?"

Le Caniche had only been passing through, ignoring the villain in favour of finding someone more important. But upon hearing the other's voice, the akuma turned irritated blue eyes on the male and bared his teeth. "Don't get in my way, you discount snow leopard."

Brief description of Muse (Appearance): At about 5'7" Rūta is rather tall for her age.

"Tone down the gaze alright floof," Genet stated as he leaned closer to koala's face planting a kiss on his lips before hopping up. "Bye!" He stated before darting off.

The brunet villain was stalking around when he spotted the koala hero, "hmm who's this," he thought to himself as he approached with a "Sveiki!" ~ask-miraculous-lithuania

Koala had been minding his own bussiness what usually means that he was writing in his notebook about something untill he heard someone scream something. He would look behind him, an annoyed expression on his face “Yes? What do you want?”

Hey jett mind telling us about your high school sweetheart?

"How did you even know I was in a relationship before? Actually, I'm not gonna ask that... But there was this guy... Tolys. We dated for a while. I guess we weren't fit for each other that way..." A frown would be on his face the whole time of the conversation. Not really happy to talk about this subject.
