I think everyone is doing Austria a disservice when they write him as a prudish blushing flower, and not as a manipulative bitch who has mastered weaponized sexuality. YES he's an uptight snob, but when you look at the history of Austria's military alliances there is a lot of calculated moves based around arranged unions instead of (or to subdue) all out wars. It's much more fun imo to see Roderich as someone who can seduce you into a strategic marriage for the sake of saving his own ass.
Had 3 (THREEE!!!!) separate conversations with different people about everyone's cringe middle school fandoms — naturally I had to revisit these old fuckos and draw them as I'd always imagined but couldn't execute with my 14 year old art skills.
Uh. If you remember my ask blog. Noooo you don't
"Liszt it is then."
Sometimes when no one looked they could have their sweet moments like this.
He would only learn how to play some of the Liszt's compositions for her but every time someone asked why Roderich would just pretend that it was just for himself when in truth it was so she could feel closer to home.

Look! my parents
I think that Austria has one of those hairless meat cats. I think he found it on the street. He puts sweaters on it so it does not get cold. He carries it around in his purse. It's still a little feral so it bites everyone who isn't Austria. He probably named it Strudel or something. Everyone wants to get rid of Strudel. Nobody likes Strudel. Strudel has been alive for 80 years and is still kicking. If anyone dares to harm Austria's wrinkle baby, it's game on. Strudel is that meaty barrier that keeps Austria from flipping his shit big time. He probably keeps a picture of Strudel in his wallet and shows it off on airplanes. He probably takes Strudel on walks around his gated community and gets into brawls with his neighbors who think that Strudel is gross. Strudel probably manages to bring Austria dead things while simultaneously being an indoor cat. Do you see my vision? Give Austria a crusty meat cat 2023.
