Tag Game To Better Know You! Send this to people you’d like to know better!

Tagged by @kyuhu, thanks! I haven't seen one of these in forever

What book are you currently reading?

"My pen is the wing of a bird - New Fiction by Afghan Women", a short story collection (because I can't focus on anything longer than 5 pages atm)

What’s your favorite movie you saw in theaters this year?

There was a documentary about a secred dance group in Iran in an artsy movie theater in my town, but I forgot what it's called. Rips your heart out, tho.

What do you usually wear?

I fell into the dark academia trap - its brown pants and white dress shirts. Or grey jeans and black shirts.

How tall are you?

167 cm

What’s your Star Sign? Do you share a birthday with a celebrity or a historical event? 

Cancer, and not that I know of.

Do you go by your name or a nick-name?

Technically the name I use everywhere including professional contexts is a nickname so where even is the line.

Did you grow up to become what you wanted to be when you were a child?

I'm not sure what I wanted to be, but I don't think I knew that my current job exists :D

Are you in a relationship? If not, who is your crush if you have one?

I'm not, this year has included turning a few people down because everyone lives fucking far away

What’s something you’re good at vs. something you’re bad at?

I'm good at talking when my brain is awake and make an absolute ass of myself when it's not??? I first surprise myself with my own wit and then my stupidity

Dogs or cats?

Both

If you draw/write, or create in any way, what’s your favorite picture/favorite line/favorite etc. from something you created this year?

I did a few cool uni projects this year, I'm not sure that counts. The funniest thing I wrote is a whatsapp message to a friend after I almost send a fanfiction link to my boss on accident (meant to send a work-related link, other tab was tumblr). Imagine your research assistant sends you a link and it's a gay tumblr romcom about literal countries. I cried

What’s something you would like to create content for?

There is this thing I do where I think about fandoms I'm technically not in anymore (Hetalia) and then I go on tumblr and message the resulting headcanons to someone (Kyuhu) and that is the extend of my content creation. Maybe at some point I post them myself, who knows.

What’s something you’re currently obsessed with? 

Travel plans! Last year I discovered that I actually am able to travel and have been obsessed since

What’s something you were excited about that turned out to be disappointing this year?

A class I'm taking right now?? I re-build my whole schedule to be able to take it and it's just. bad.

What’s a hidden talent of yours?

Writing fucking hilarious anecdotes in whatsapp messages.

Are you religious?     

I consider myself someone with faith but without belief :D If that makes sense

What’s something you wish to have at this moment?

Free time

I tag @bisexual-yuuri and @julianandsandy just to say hi :D

1, 4, 8, 12 ✨

1. favorite character

iceland 100%. the angsty teen vibes hit me hard when i was thirteen and new to hetalia. although i like to think he is a much different character than his anime portrayal. but he's always been my favorite. america and lithuania are close back-ups!

4. favorite fic

words cannot express how much i adore 'that friend of his' by steadfast brightstar on ao3/ff.net. (i think their tumblr is @julianandsandy ??? i hope so otherwise this will be embarrassing). i reread it all the time and never get tired of it.

8. a character to bring to life

i'll say seychelles!! i love her character so much, she seems so sweet and friendly, please let me spend an afternoon with her.

12. favorite crossover idea

i'm kinda stuck on this one; i've always avoided crossovers when it came to reading/writing fic. i will say that when i was in other fandoms (namely musicals and b99), i'd try to match the characters of those fandoms to those of hetalia.

[drowning-in-dennor]

[drowning-in-dennor]

What’s your favorite interpretation of Norway’s character?

one of my favourite interpretations of norway is from @julianandsandy‘s “first editions”, where he’s portrayed as witty and sardonic at the beginning, but reveals a sort of dreamy softness when one gets to know him. he’s calm and collected, occasionally aloof, has his fragile moments, but is still the whimsical character we all know and love.

another characterisation of norway that i love is @bubblelounge‘s, particularly from “break for love”, “at your feet” and “fools rush in”. she portrays norway as quite the untamed beast, wild and sharp and vicious and barely reined in by denmark. but underneath all that coldness, there’s protectiveness and a fear of getting attached because of his past, whether nation or human.

and there’s @nordicsawesome‘s characterisation, which i adore as well. in her longer fics like “underneath this sky” and “auld lang syne”, norway is shy and sarcastic, but not overly so. he secretly yearning and lonely, always worried that he isn’t good enough or is being selfish, and i think we can all relate to that a little. this norway is just about as raw and realistic as you can get.

that sounded like a commercial is this just an aph norway commercial

[drowning-in-dennor]

hello! do you know any fics where norway is hurt & denmark comforta him?

i’m glad you asked, my friend! (66642049 dennor hurt/comfort fics fall out of my pocket) all the ones below are complete oneshots!

Wishing For A Melody

One evening, while playing a record on a turntable that brings back too many painful memories, Henrik is brought back to a happier, simpler time. [Takes place in the same universe as Every Time You Kissed Me and Epilogue.] [Recommended listening: Wishing Will Make It So from Love Affair and Unchained Melody by the Righteous Brothers] [Based on this headcanon by @faerietalks and @julianandsandy.]

 The votes are rolling in; every kid in the high school is dropping their folded piece of paper into the cardboard box that will determine this year’s cutest couple. The well-dressed nominees are standing aside, arms linked, waiting for the result to be announced. 

  The couple at the very end of the line is smiling and looking at their classmates. Henrik and Stellan survey the dance floor in their suits, fingers laced together.

  “Well, what do you think?” Henrik speaks up first. “This dance is our first - “

  “- and our last,” his lover cuts in dryly.

  “And that, I suppose.” He laughs. “And everyone in our class nominated us for cutest couple. D’you think the rest of the school thinks the same?”

  He inches just a hair closer. “They better.” Stellan strokes his thumb over Henrik’s, hiding the sweet gesture behind their jackets. 

 Henrik squeezes his hand back, enjoying the faint flush that spreads across his cheeks. Stellan inches closer again, close enough to rest his head on Henrik’s shoulder. He reaches out one hand to prompt Stellan to do so, and as he does, soft hair tickling his neck, he lets out a breathy sigh.

  “We’re done counting the votes!” A teacher shouts from the stage. Stellan jumps, hiding his face in his hands. Between his fingers, Henrik realises with amusement that he’s blushed even redder.

  “Here is, as voted by the student body, the cutest couple of the 1948-1949 school year.” The teacher accepts a slip of paper from a student assistant, unfolds it, and announces for the entire school to hear, “Henrik Dansen and Stellan Dahl!”

  Most of the room erupts into applause, turning toward the two of them and waiting for their reaction.

  Stellan gasps slightly when Henrik swings an arm around his waist, pulling him flush against his side again and bowing dramatically to the crowd. “Thank you, thank you!”

  “Drama queen,” Stellan mutters, as Henrik grabs his hand and waves it in the air.

  “It seems that nobody can deny our undying love for each other!” Henrik spins them round, presses their foreheads together with a laugh. “Isn’t that right, my dear, my sweet, my one and only, the love of my - “

  “Stop it.” He looks down, biting his lip as he always does when he’s flustered. “Save the sappiness for when nobody else is looking.”

  “So I suppose we won’t be dancing tonight?”

  He shakes his head, turning away slightly from the flash of a camera when a photographer tries to snap a photo of them. “No dances until we get home.”

  “Your place?”

  “Well, I’m the one with the turntable.”

  The rest of the night sees them laughing away with their friends, until the dance is over and they stumble home giddy with joy. Stellan’s jacket is slightly rumpled when they finally reach his house, and it takes ten minutes for him to unlock the door with Henrik kissing him every few seconds.

  The door finally swings open and they run into the living room. Stellan fiddles with the turntable resting on the coffee table, while Henrik scrounges the room for records. 

  “Which one did you pick?”

  Henrik shows him the label on the record. 

  “Wishing Will Make It So?” Stellan takes the record and scrutinises it. “It’s from that movie Love Affair, right?”

  “Yep.”

  “It’s really old.” He places it on the turntable anyway. “Came out in ‘39, right?”

  “It’s a nice song!”

  Stellan lowers the tonearm onto the record and turns the device on. The music begins to play, and Henrik leads him out to the living room. 

  Trumpets blaring and flutes whistling, the prelude echoes throughout the empty living room. Stellan rests his head against Henrik’s chest, clasps his hand tightly, and they dance.

  “Wishing will make it so; just keep on wishing and care will go...”

  They swing cheerfully to the music, humming the well-known tune while spinning round and round the living room. Henrik presses his lips to Stellan’s forehead, pressing them even closer together in their dance.

  And when the last verse comes up, both of them sing.

  “And if you wish long enough, wish strong enough, you will come to know - wishing will make it so!”

  “So?” He whispers, as Henrik leads him around the room again. “Tell me something you’d wish long and strong for so that it’d be real.”

  The answer comes immediately. “I’d wish for us to be married one day. And for us to be able to buy a nice house with a garden and maybe a bunny.”

  He smiles. “I like that wish.”

  Henrik taps him lightly on the nose. “Because of the bunny?”

  “That, and the marriage part.” Stellan winks, laughing as Henrik pouts in indignation. “But mostly the bunny.”

  “Ouch.” He nips his lips in mock-retaliation. 

  The music draws to a close. Stellan leans drowsily against Henrik, breathing softly and drunk on good music and love.

...

  Henrik doesn’t know what’s going through his mind as he gets home with a new record tucked under his arm. He hasn’t used the turntable in a year, not since Stellan’s death. It’s been gathering dust under the coffee table.

  But he pulls it out, brushes the dust from it the best he can and swings it open. His new record goes in, the tonearm is lowered, and the music plays.

  The moment the singing begins, Henrik feels as though his heart splits in two.

  The song is new, having been released just a few months ago, and while it doesn’t bring back those fond memories of his fiancé, Henrik can’t help the way his eyes mist over at the sweet, plaintive tone of the singer.

  “Oh, my love, I’ve hungered for your touch a long, lonely time...”

  He buries his head in his hands, shoulders shaking with tears he doesn’t want to shed. He misses Stellan, every part of him, from his soulful eyes to his breathy voice to his smile - oh, his smile! He’d give anything to see it again.

  In the midst of his grief, Henrik can almost feel his touch, gentle and loving. He rubs his eyes, gasps. His breath hitches. It hurts. 

  “What are you doing?” Stellan would say, if he were still here. “The turntable’s on, lovely music is playing, and you’re crying instead. Get up, silly, and dance.”

  “Lonely rivers flow to the sea, to the sea; to the open arms of the sea...”

  He stands up. He stretches his arms out, clutching the hands of a phantom partner. Anguish and longing still course through every inch of him, but Henrik smiles through the tears. He sways, turns, stumbles through the dance that he danced with his true love, once upon a time.

  If someone were to look in through the windows, they’d probably see a delusional young man dancing a waltz in his living room without a partner. Henrik closes his eyes, imagines Stellan there with him, smiling and holding him, and not broken and buried deep within the ground, surely nothing but bones now.

  A tear rolls down his cheek and falls onto the carpet. One, two, four, hundreds more follow. Henrik stops dancing and wipes at the tears flooding from his eyes, finally allowing his despair to pour forth. As the song ends, he sinks to his knees and sobs.

  “I need your love; God speed your love to me,” sighs the turntable. 

  He forces himself to stand up and take the record out and slip it back into its case. Then Henrik sits down at the sofa, staring listlessly at the record. The song, truly an Unchained Melody unleashing all the sadness and pining he tried so hard to suppress, plays over and over again in his head.

  His chest hurts. Henrik rubs his eyes, lets the record fall to the ground without regard to whether it breaks or not, and cries out his agony to the falling night.
