#besides not forgiving someone isn't 'not letting go'. if you decide to forgive your abusers that's fine but don't tell other people to

I know that many abuse victims can develop a "victim mentality" and not take accountability for things that even they themselves cause but saying "that's victim mentality" to people who merely said "that was a horrible time in my life" is crazy. Granted this is about like- 2 comments on ig and we know reading comments there is a mistake, and also this comments were criticized. But? When you get to that point you need to reevaluate what you call "victim mentality" and why do you have that reaction in a video (that you chose to keep watching, no one brought this unprompted to you) of someone openly stating That Was A Bad Time.

I tried to leave a comment on your new Duty & Sacrifice chapter via ao3 but it wouldn’t go through so I’ll leave it here instead:
Such a good chapter as always.
“Inwardly, Aemond decided Dragonstone had to be much farther than the maps depicted—or else another world entirely.”
This was my favorite line this chapter! I love when writers write. Like crafting such a lovely sentence to show how differently Aemond & Lucerys think, as well as their polar opposite upbringing.
I’ve commented before that Alicent & Aemond’s mother-son bond is my favorite thing about this fic and was my main draw (and this is still true!) but I can’t help but feel that Alicent’s tears are wasted on Aemond. Helaena is the one Alicent should be crying for and on her knees begging forgiveness from for forcing her into an abusive marriage since she was only thirteen. I like how it’s clear in this fic that Helaena is uncomfortable with her mother for asking her about Aegon’s whereabouts after she forced her to marry him.
I couldn’t feel anything in the face of Alicent’s remorse because all I could think about was her other child who is suffering a much worse fate than Aemond, and who doesn’t even have half the doting and affection Alicent showers on Aemond. Alicent says herself that she tried her best to shield Aemond from suffering a fate like hers, but she never tried for Helaena before forcing her into marriage and motherhood when she was even younger than Alicent had been when she wed Viserys.
Also I like how you showed that there was a moment when Aemond wished his father loved him. By the time Duty & Sacrifice began, Aemond felt nothing for Viserys so it’s interesting to me that that was not always the case.
thank you so much for the kind words anon 😭 i enjoyed writing that sentence (and even more, editing it before posting so it sounded good, lol) so it's super cool it stuck out to you :)
in regards to alicent, i did want to clarify that i've aged people up in this timeline a lot, so helaena definitely wasn't 13 when she married aegon. probably 17ish--though yeah that doesn't change the fact she was married to *aegon* who for sure isn't a great guy in d&s either.
idk if this will ever get brought up in the fic (tho maybe in an alicent pov one day), so I'll just tell you, in my 'verse i imagine it had more to do with alicent being unwilling to let helaena get married off to some distant noble. knowing that aegon had zero interest in his sister, and given that alicent *does* have some control over her son still, she knew she could protect helaena better this way. this on top of strengthening the bloodline, which viserys was all for.
and indeed, in d&s aegon and helaena only have the twins, who were conceived on their wedding night 😂 besides then he's made a pass at her a couple of times when extremely drunk, but that's about it. so even though by our standards it's a sucky awful marriage, given how irresponsible and rude aegon can be, by alicent's standards this was the best choice for both of them. (funny, but i think helaena would agree with that, and it'd be aegon who would disagree)
now, why didn't alicent just marry aegon and aemond? because she guessed (correctly) aegon *would* have interest in his little omega brother, and that terrified her. aegon in general scares her. plus, aemond was already decently protected from getting married off by the time her kids were of age and alicent had to consider all this (aegon 19, helaena 17, aemond 16), because of his scar and general un-omeganess. obviously that didn't hold up forever, and she knew it wouldn't, but alicent views helaena as someone who could be broken very easily vs. aemond as someone who could weather dealing with any situation (regardless of how true that is)
all this to say, it was definitely a calculated thing alicent did, but in this 'verse it wasn't just for the sake of usurping rhaenyra like is implied in hotd canon. hopefully that makes sense! and thanks for the ask, it was fun to explain a piece of how the d&s verse played out inside my head :) aemond's head is very limited lol!

TBHK theory: is Tsukasa really the "abuser"? + the meaning of the ropes
So I know that it is a common belief in the fandom that Hanako was abused by someone close to him since he did say that "he forgives it". And since he forgives it, it's obvious that it must be someone important to him, right? And that someone is most likely Tsukasa... or is it?
Tumblr media
The reason why we think that is because of Hanako's reactions to when he runs into Tsukasa. So I guess a lot of us just assumed that he reacted that way because he's scared of Tsukasa. But I think that rather being scared of Tsukasa, he's scared of himself. Remember when he jumped on Yashiro after Tsukasa first showed up? I can't find the post anymore but I do remember someone saying that reenacting a past traumatic experience is a common way to "deal" with it. Thus he jumped on Yashiro to emulate that because seeing Tsukasa made him remember when he killed him. Which is why he's always so uncomfortable around Tsukasa: because it makes him think of a traumatic event. Not necessarily because Tsukasa was the "abuser".
We also have this image:
Tumblr media
Which makes us think that Tsukasa might be the abuser because Hanako is bound by ropes while a shadow that looks like Hanako is saying something in his ear. A common idea here, is that the shadow is Tsukasa, however I'm not sure about that. If it really is Tsukasa, then why does he not have the patch on his right cheek? It might just be me, but besides the clothes, I think that the obvious way to tell Hanako and Tsukasa apart is the patches they have on their cheeks. Hanako's is on his left cheek and Tsukasa's is on the right. But as we can see the shadow doesn't have Tsukasa's patch. If the shadow does have a patch then it's on the side that we can't see: the left side, the same as Hanako's.
Thus, I think that this shadow might, or might not be a metaphoric representation of Hanako himself, fucking himself over and tying himself town out of guilt because he killed his brother. Hanako is blaming himself. After all, we can also see the knife being bound as a way to remind himself of what he did.
Oh, and let's talk about the ropes.
Another belief is that maybe Hanako was abused with ropes, that Tsukasa may have been into... bondage?? And he did that to his twin brother?? This doesn't sound right, doesn't it?
Tumblr media
Tsuchigomori says: "you're always covered in cuts and bruises" but there's no mention of ropes. I mean, I'm only assuming here, but if the abuser really did use ropes then wouldn't they be easy to see? Tsuchigomori also says that it happens every single day so all the bruises he has on his body must always be fresh/recent, right? I would guess that rope bruises are really easy to identify whether you're a nurse or a normal person.
But then... What the hell do the ropes mean?! Well I have an easy answer to give: those ropes are a recurring theme in TBHK.
Almost all of the covers of the volumes have ropes on them and even side art from Aida.
Look at this:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
So there could be 2 different explanations for this:
1) Aida likes drawing ropes
2) Ropes are a metaphor for something
I think it's obviously answer n°2.
Maybe what I'm going to say sounds super obvious, but I feel like ropes are a way to show us that all of those characters are "bound" together. Their stories and lives are all tied together since they're all important characters in the story and they're the ones to move the plot forward.
We can see it especially here:
Tumblr media
The rope is tied to Hanako's pinky finger, and most times, in Japanese culture they call that the "red string of fate". Basically, you're tied to someone else. Which is most times your soulmate. That whole rope thing means that all of those characters' fates are tied to eachother.
But now the last point: if I don't think that the abuser is Tsukasa and that the rope doesn't mean that Hanako was abused with ropes then what the hell does this all mean? Who's the abuser?
Well to be honest... I don't know.
I think the obvious answer here would be their parents. I mean, we know nothing about them. Where are they?? Could Hanako and Tsukasa be orphans?
Maybe they were abused in the orphanage, after all, it's common knowledge that Japanese orphanages are shit. (Or at least they were shittier back then, maybe now it's better but I'm not a specialist in the subject.)
Also, isn't it weird how we always saw past Hanako but never past Tsukasa? Why? Why haven't we seen him yet? Maybe because Tsukasa was abused even more than Hanako.
Let me explain: we got this whole explanation
Tumblr media
This is in chapter 46 when Amane was talking about Scorpius and Antares, and how they're actually twin stars but that one of the 2 is brighter than the other so you can only see one of them. (Sorry for the quality of the image, I can't find better.)
This is obviously a metaphor for Amane and Tsukasa. So what does it all mean?
Well, long story short: I think that Tsukasa wasn't allowed to go to school while Amane was.
If my orphanage theory is correct, then I would guess that the orphanage had funding issues (I mean, it's a problem even to this day and not only in Japan. Orphanages being short on money because the governement doesn't care enough to help abandoned kids is ocurrent.)
So I don't find that hard to believe that the orphanage might've been like "Fuck it! Let' send the older twin brother to school and the younger one can stay here. We can't afford to send all of our children to school after all." I mean it's weird, right? That in the flashback Tsuchigomori didn't even mention Tsukasa. If Tsukasa was really going to school and was the abuser then wouldn't Tsuchigomori be like "oh, it's weird how your twin brother doesn't have any bruises while you do. Is he the one to do this?"
But no. There is absolutely no mention of Tsukasa whatsoever. Which is really, really weird. I had twins in my classroom throughout elementary school and middle school and they were always put in the same classroom. So if Tsukasa really did go to school I would guess that they would not only be in the same classroom, but also Tsuchigomori would bring him up.
Thus while Amane was in school, Tsukasa was the one being abused, and that's why he's so fucked in the head. Because Tsukasa was actually the one getting most of the beatings, the cuts and the bruises.
Of course, school in Japan lasts longer than in the west with the clubs and all. But I would guess that Amane didn't join a club because he wanted to get back as quickly as possible to help his brother. That's why Amane didn't have any friends. Because he would always rush to the orphanage after school.
I think, Amane being the caring big brother he is, he would take the abuse instead of Tsukasa when he was "home" to protect him as much as he could, but since he was at school most of the time, Tsukasa was the one taking most of the beatings.
And since Amane was going to school, I would guess that they went "easier" on him so the teachers wouldn't call the cops on them. That's also why Amane decided "not to go anywhere anymore."
Tumblr media
Because whenever he's away from his brother, Tsukasa gets hurt. Amane decided to throw his dream away to protect Tsukasa from the abusers.
And so, that is also why I think that Tsukasa has a mental illness. That's why he's so much more emotionally unstable than Amane. Hanako has obviously problems too, but Tsukasa is the one who got the short end of the stick.
I would guess, Tsukasa may be a sociopath at this point. A current belief, is that sociopaths like to hurt animals/kill them to feel something. When someone is abused, what the brain does is to "repress" emotions to feel less pain. That's how different mental illnesses get born.
For example, "dissociating" to feel like you're not you, to believe that it's someone else who's suffering right now your brain tries to make you believe that you're "out" of your body.
Dissociative personality disorder makes you develop multiple personalities inside yourself so you can switch between them and feel like you're safe while another personality is taking the abuse for you.
And then, of course, sociopathy, your brain "turns off" your emotions for you to stay "sane" but funnily enough, in the long run it makes you insane since you can't feel emotions in normal situations anymore.
A lot of mental illnesses come from traumatic experiences, they're defensive mechanisms after all. Mental illnesses are your brain trying to protect you from excessive pain...
This got dark real quick, sorry.
Anyway, this whole theory started with a thought I had: "Why would a sibling, not to mention a TWIN, abuse his brother?"
The conclusion I came to is: they wouldn't.
I'm not saying that it's definitely impossible at a 100% but I always found that weird how everyone thinks that a twin sibling would abuse his other sibling. Especially since twins are so close.
And to end it all...
I think that what went down with the Yugi siblings is that, one day they decided to end it all. They couldn't take the suffering anymore so they decided to kill themselves.
But right at the end, Tsukasa's emotions finally kicked in and he got scared at the last moment. And so, he begged Amane to finish the job. Amane then got traumatized from killing his brother and he ran to the girls' bathroom and hung himself out of guilt. Or maybe he also stabbed himself like Tsukasa? Who knows.

kinda sidetracking here but what if marvin actually gave in to his guilt early on, freed jamie (before he was quite so traumatized) and made a fake story up?? told jackie "look! i found our baby brother! in the streets! he's safe now!" so jamie isn't in that box anymore, but he's still a little scared of marvin. and marvin is still paranoid constantly that jj is gonna hurt someone. everything is tense and the rest of the boys KNOW something's up but they can't tell what
ohhhh that’s gooood ohh my gosh yeah
i think it was @rachelclutch who wrote this story i really liked about Henrik like finding Jameson homeless? like he’d been thrown out by Anti or something and left to die so he was just wandering around trying to sneak food and sleep beside trash cans and stuff, with no memories, no identity, no documents, nobody to turn to or trust. so now I’m thinking Marvin could just like grab JJ from the box and explain this to him - “I will let you go. And I will let you come live with my brothers and I and be cared for in a big house. But you can never let them know that you were trapped here” (he probably tells JJ it’s because they’d be afraid of him if they knew he was a vessel for Anti, so JJ agrees, he’s desperate to get out of here and have somebody love on him finally). So to make the act work, he sneaks Jameson out of the house and leaves him in the streets. tells him to make do for a couple days and then maybe linger around Chase’s favorite coffee shop or the hospital where Henrik works. and then they find him and!!!! ahhhhh they’re so so excited!!! what are the fucking chances?? Anti must have let him go or lost him or something, maybe the brave little guy even escaped!!!!! and JJ is so shaken and confused about the world and a little traumatized from the days he spent alone in a world he knows nothing about that he probably couldn’t explain if he tried, but he promised Marvin he wouldn’t rat him out, so he doesn’t, he just says he doesn’t remember anything. and that’s okay, they tell him, hugging him tight, they’ve got him now and they’ll help him figure everything out and everything is going to be okay, you’re safe now.
But not everything is okay and Jameson does not feel safe, because the man in the cat mask is still there, watching him.
Jamie is not vindictive. He trusts that Marvin had him locked away for a reason. He doesn’t hate Marvin (doesn’t have the concept of emotional control well enough to decide that he hates Marvin), but he knows exactly who he is and remembers everything he did to him. and so the others notice, of course.
Jameson is shaky af around Marvin. Jameson does not meet Marvin’s eyes. Jameson does not touch Marvin or even sit close to him, does not seek out his company. He tries to make friends with all the others - in fact, he loves the others, from the first day he meets them, absolutely throwing himself at Jackie and Henrik and Chase and motherfucking flourishing in the love they give back to him!!!!!!!! but Marvin?? nope. nope. just keep your head down and be quiet. Marvin is his prisonkeep and he does not know where they stand, only that he is a dangerous person who could lock him away again at any moment.
And Marvin expects the others to get suspicious of him, cause this really isn’t going well, but guess what - they don’t!! Marvin would NEVER do something bad to JJ, of course. Oh my goodness, poor Marvin, JJ must be reminded of Anti when he’s around you for some reason!! Oh no, poor Marvin, don’t worry, we’ll convince him you’re okay!
oh, fuck, thinks Marvin. this was such a fucking stupid idea.
so of course the other boys are trying to very gently introduce Jamie to Marvin and teach him that Marvin is safe and loving. and now Marvin has to act like he really wants to be JJ’s big brother (in reality he can’t even look at him without getting nauseous from the guilt and he’s still pretty sure he’s dangerous to his family) and it’s awkward af and he’s kind of cold and annoyed and still stressed as fuck and on the verge of a complete nervous breakdown
I don’t know which of them would break first. Marvin would just shatter one day and start screaming it, grabbing Jameson and shaking him and explaining everything while all his brothers shout and try to get him off Jameson, who just starts trembling, in silence, cause he’s never understood Marvin and never will. Or one night Jameson is curled up with Chase or Jackie or Henrik, and they’re starting to realize something is really truly wrong between the two of them, and they tell him “if you ever need to tell me anything, you can tell me. if anyone ever tries to hurt you or make you keep secrets from us or does anything you’re not comfortable with - ” and then that’s all JJ can take, and he tells them everything, and asks them not to tell Marvin he broke the promise, but there’s no way they’re letting him get away with that. Jameson is distraught watching Marvin get kicked out. blames himself for it. but eventually he starts to understand better what happened and the way he was abused.
or, hey, depending on how long Marvin kept him before the guilt broke him, maybe this would be a more forgivable scenario, and Marvin would confess and apologize on his knees, and things could be worked out with a lot of time and a lot of therapy.

Hello, I just love this pairing so much. I believe there is a certain fanfiction that got me on this pairing. Here's some personal headcanons that I have on them both. Plus, this will be my first headcanon post ever. Also, the edit I did above is not perfect so sorry about that. ^^'
✦✧⋆✦✧⋆✦✧⋆✫☄✫☪✫☄✫⋆✧✦⋆✧✦⋆✧✦
How they Begin
Iceland first met Romania when he came to Norway's home for a club meetup. He had seen Romania at the nation meetings, but never talked to him as he usually stuck with the other nordics. The club meeting was actually the first time he talked with the other nation and found out he enjoyed his company so he exchange numbers with him.
Through texting each other they became fast friends. They send each other memes, talked about their brothers, family, and friends. Even though Romania's weird stories freak him out, Iceland still listen to them when they were on the phone together.
It wasn't until Romania started to teach Iceland magic, since Iceland didn't want to learn from Norway because his brother would tease him about it, that Iceland started to crush on Romania real hard.
Even though Romania can read the atmosphere, he never noticed Iceland's crush on him.
Romania also had a crush on Iceland, but it freak him out, so he ingored his feelings for the other nation.
The more each other hanged out, the more they both started to fall for each other. However, Romania would always try to deny his feelings. Iceland was still young after all and his own fears always seemed to stop him.
It wasn't until Iceland started to look twenty-one in human years that he had enough and decided to be the one that made the first move. He started to flirt awkwardly with Romania and started to take him on dates, but his efforts went unnoticed. Romania, however, did noticed but was still too scared to be with him due to his past.
Iceland started to feel down as he felt like Romania didn’t love him back, but he didn't want to give up so he asked Norway for help. They made a plan to used a truth spell on Romania at the next magic meeting at Norway's place to see how he really felt about Iceland.
After the meeting, Norway told Romania he would like to meet him in his basement in a couple minutes before he walked away with Iceland. He took him down to his magic room and he made Iceland hide away so Romania couldn't see him.
They before waited patiently for the other nation to arrive. It wasn't long until Romania walked through the door. Norway said the spell quickly before he blasted his friend with his magic. Once the spell was in place he begin questioning his friend.
"I know you like my little brother, Romania. Iceland loves you. Do you love him in return? If you don't, than you better stop this little game of yours. You are my best friend, but my baby brother comes first so..."
Norway doesn't get to finished as Iceland watched in horror as Romania fell to the ground as he started to break down.
"I do love him! That is the problem. I don’t deserve to be with your brother. I am tainted, Norway. I don't want to taint him as well. Your brother is so great that he deserves someone better than me. I don't deserve to be loved!"
Iceland couldn't stand to be hidden anymore and came out of hiding as he slowly walked over to Romania. He knelt beside him as he gently wiped away the tears from the cheerful nation that he knew and loved.
Iceland didn't know if the truth spell at work or Romania willingly opening himself up, but it didn't make himself feel any less guilty as the man opened up about his past.
To say the least, there were two very pissed off nordics that wanted to murder the person who caused someone so precious to them so much pain. Since they couldn't, they both stayed close to the Romanian and comfort him together. Once Romania calmed down enough, Iceland and Norway apologize over and over again, however, he didn't forgive them and left right away.
It took about a month before Romania forgive them both. It took even longer before Iceland and him started to try out dating. Ever since, the two have been inseparable.
Relationship HCS
Romania is the one that always cooks since Iceland is a terrible cook, but Iceland always does the dishes.
They both take turns doing the chores.
Romania is always the cuddler of the two and always has his head under Iceland's chin or on top of his shoulder. Iceland let's it happen and even sometimes runs his fingers through his hair.
Iceland is actually an inch taller than Romania which he likes to tease him about.
Iceland and Romania can really be themselves around each other. They feel like they can be open and comfortable to one another.
They are always there for each other and will drop anything or everything they are doing just to support each other.
Iceland is the only one that can calm Romania down during one of his episodes and Romania is the only one that could cheer Iceland up when he is feeling down.
They had their first kiss at one of Iceland's hot springs. It was during their tenth date at the time and Romania always wanted to go to one so Iceland set up the surprise date for them. Romania was actually the first one to initiate the kiss.
It took a very long time before either of them were ready to have sex. When they were ready, it was during a romantic movie night date Romania had planned and he was the first one to initiate it.
Iceland actually let's Romania initiate most of the kisses or sexual activities because he doesn't want his boyfriend to be uncomfortable. However, there are times when he initiates stuff, but if he notices Romania becoming too uncomfortable than he stops right away.
Out of the two of them, Iceland is more dominate, but once in a while Romania will take the lead.
The both of them love using magic during their love making. It brings in a little fun to their sex life.
The two of them are total pranksters. Once they bring Hong Kong into the mix and everything will be in total chaos. The nations learned to be extremely afraid when those three are together.
Whenever Romania states he doesn't deserve to be love, that he is a terrible brother or states anything negative about himself, Iceland will put aside his pride and embarrassment to place gentle kisses all over Romania’s face. After every kiss he states everything he loves about him.
Iceland is good at baking. Whenever he wants Romania to do something or he just wants to cheer him up, he would bake him his favorite sweets.
These two dorks love having cake fights. It is usually Romania who starts it by smashing a piece of his cake in his boyfriend’s face.
Out of the two of them, Romania is the most romantic, but Iceland can be romantic as well, even though he doesn't realize it most of the time.
Romania suffers from PTSD, depression, panic attacks, and insomnia from the mental, sexual, and physical abuse that he experienced when he was a child by his father. Iceland suffers from depression, anxiety, and monophobia from all those years of being alone. They both understand that they will always have these disorders until they die and that they can't be fix. However, they did promised each other to always be there for one another, even if they break up.
They normally go to therapy together, but one of them usually waits in the waiting room unless one of them requests to be in there with him.
They respect each other's privacy. They feel like if it was important then they would told each other, but otherwise they mind their own business.
Personal space on the other hand...Romania needs to learn it, but at this point Iceland is used to it at this point. He just sighes and shakes his head.
Just like with any relationship, these two get into fights sometimes. They only had one serious fight that caused them both to break down in tears. They made up by Iceland making Romania's favorite sweets and Romania buying him a gift, usually something related to his boyfriend’s favorite music or band. They would apologize to each other before collasping into each other's arms in tears.
Iceland was jealous of Bulgaria. Even though Romania doesn't realize his friend flirting with him, Iceland does. It pisses him off to no end when the Bulgarian would look at him with a smirk on his face while he does it. The jerk even kissed Romania on the cheek once and Iceland lost it. Instead of yelling at the nation, he got revenge by kissing Romania passionately in front of him, even though he isn't a fan of PDOA, but he wasn't going to let him get away with that. After the kiss, he dragged Romania away so they could have some privacy.
Romania gets jealous of Hong Kong sometimes as well. He actually turned him into a rat once for smacking Iceland's butt once. Even though Hong Kong didn't mean anything by it, he knew never to do it again. Romania could actually be scary when he wants to be.
Brothers are important to both of them, especially to Romania. He lost his other brothers a long time ago and Moldova is all that he has left as family. For him, it was important that Moldova liked Iceland. His little brother at first didn't like his boyfriend, but soon they started to grow on each other after Moldova threatened Iceland not to hurt his big brother. He calls Iceland big brother now.
For Romania, it wasn't hard for him to be accepted by the other nordics since he was best friends with Norway way before he started dating Iceland. Technically, nationwise Norway is older then Romania so he tries to get Iceland and Romania to call him big brother, which both of them refuse to do.
If anyone makes their boyfriend cry, then that person better run for the hills. These two will be out for blood.
Iceland kind of freaks out sometimes about how accurate Romania’s fortune telling is, but most of the time he is just amazed.
These two dorks are sensitive so they cry at sad movies all the time. The Boy in the Striped Pajamas, Where the Red Fern Grows, Air Bud, Old Yeller, Marley & Me, Dear Zachary(documentary), and Grave of the Fireflies are some of the movies that made them cry. Iceland has also has seen Precious and cried, but he refuses to let Romania to watch it because of what happens in the film.
They love to read together at night. They both take turns picking out books to read. Romania usually brings fantasy, horror, romantic, and old Romanian folklore books while Iceland usually brings thiller, historical, and old Norse folklore books. They only bring their magic books when they go to a club meeting.
Since Romania doesn't sleep well, he is the first one awake and the last one to fall asleep, but he doesn’t leave the bed right away. He stays to cuddle with Iceland until his boyfriend finally wakes up.
Romania has a pet lynx named Vasile. The big cat acts like a normal house cat, but he doesn’t like people that are not Romania. Just like Moldova, it took him some time to warm up to Iceland.
Mr. Puffin actually really really likes Romania. Some might say he likes him more then Iceland and that is saying something since the bird never let's anyone touch him, but Iceland. The two of them get along pretty well much to Iceland's dismay.
Iceland loves to fish and takes Romania out on his fishing boat sometimes.
Iceland is good at figure skating while Romania is good at gymnastics.
The human name that Romania prefers is Cătălin Albescu while Iceland prefers Eiríkur Sigurðsson, but only they know each others' true names. Everyone else either calls them Vladimir/Vlad or Emil.
Since Romania celebrates Valentines Day twice, the international Valentines Day on February 14th and Dragobete on February 24th, Iceland and himself set away sometime so they could be together on both of those days.
On Valentines Day, Iceland plans the dates and bakes for Romania in the morning. When his boyfriend arrives, he takes him out to dinner before taking him out star glazing, sight seeing, or to the hot springs. After a long day, he would take Romania home where they would eat cake, cuddle, and watch sappy Valentines Day movies.
On Dragobete, Romania is in charge since this is his holiday after all. This boy here is going to go all out. He kicks Iceland out of the house until he gets everything ready. He cooks up a very nice meal before he decorates the house. He would have rose petals lead into the kitchen as he has romantic music playing like one of those cheesy romance movies. He would have candles set on the table along with a glass of Tuica and Brennivín. Romania would dressed up nicely and have flowers braided into his hair. He would call Iceland back and once he arrives, he would place a flower crown on top of his head that he made for him. (Iceland keeps every flower crown that Romania has made for him, but will deny it if asked.) They have a nice romantic dinner together before they head to bedroom for the night. ;)
For Halloween, Romania makes their costumes. They usually win the cutest couple costume much to Iceland's embarrassment.
Since he can get away with it during the month of October, because of Halloween, Romania will go to a nail salon and will get acrylic nails done. He usually gets his nails painted with a maroon matte polish, but depending on his mood he might asked for glitter to be painted on top of one of his nails.
Iceland loves when his boyfriend gets his nails done, because long nails equals great back scratchers with you have an itch you can't reach. Plus, he just loves running his fingers over his painted nails because of how smooth it feels. He also thinks it suits Romania and makes him look even more gorgeous.
"So this is the real reason why you keep me around." Romania would always joked to him whenever he wanted his back scratch.
For Christmas, Romania brings Moldova over to the Finland's house. Moldova usually runs off to play with Sealand while he carries the Christmas presents over to the tree before walking straight into his lovers arms before chatting and drinking with the other nordics. Norway would always have a mistletoe above Romania and Iceland as the two were forced to kiss each other as Sweden took photos much to their embarrassment. Denmark would bring them both into a big hug and started to tease them until Finland called dinner was ready. They would have a big feast before they opened presents. Romania’s eyes were already misty from how generous the nordics were to him and Moldova, but he doesn’t start crying until they started to call him part of the family. Iceland, Norway, and Moldova were the only ones able to calm him down while Denmark, Finland, Sweden, and Sealand were confused. Romania apologize afterwards and was grateful that they didn't ask anymore questions. The rest of the night went wonderful as they watched Christmas movies, ate sweets, sing Christmas Carols. That had to be the best Christmas that he ever had and he was happy that he experienced it with Iceland, his little brother, and his new family.
The gifts Iceland gives Romania is scented candles, earrings, flowers, magic books he doesn't have, bath bombs, bake goods, nail polish, hats, chocolate, or stuff for Vasile or Moldova.
The gifts that Romania gives Iceland in return is magic books, stuff for Mr. Puffin, licorice, a pair of ice skates, music cds, a dish of one of his favorite foods, flowers, a deck of his very own tarot cards, chocolate, and something homemade by him.
They don't usually wait until an holiday, anniversary, or a special occasion to give each other gifts. They pretty much give them to each other whenever they want.
They love taking showers and baths together for them it feels more intimate that way. Leave it to Romania to bring out the candles, rose petals, and wine when they bathe together.
These two will sing in the shower together and they both have wonderful voices. They don't care what song it is either. They one time sing What does the Fox Say without realizing Norway was in the house. Let's just say Norway had awesome blackmail material on these two.
Out of the two of them, Romania has more of a sense of style than Iceland, but he slowly helping him to fix that.
If these to decided they want to get married, it will be more likely that Romania proposes and he would do it on his own. He is considered a romance nation after all. If Iceland did proposed, he would asked help from the Italy brothers, Spain, Portugal, Moldova, the other Nordics, and maybe France.
If they were going to have a wedding, their theme would be romantic starry night meets gothic fairytale. Their main two colors would be maroon and dark blue and their minor colors would be black, light blue, white, and purple. They both would be wearing tuxes, but if Romania had his way he would wear a dress. He would only wear one just to piss off Hungary because, according to him, he looks better in a wedding dress then her. That would start a cat fight that both Iceland and Bulgaria will have to pull them apart from each other. Of course, it starts a whole different fight when Bulgaria gets handsy with Romania when pulling him from Hungary. Iceland may be smaller then Bulgaria, but that doesn't mean he won't kick his ass for touching his man. Yeah, so no wearing dresses for Romania unless you want WW3 to break out.
AUs
Harry Potter:
Hogwarts Houses- Romania would be either a Hufflepuff or a Slytherin and Iceland would either be a Ravenclaw or a Slytherin.

Minor Arcana- Romania would be the Queen of Cups while Iceland would be the King of Cups.
Constellations:

Zodiac Signs:

Elements/Elementals (I used their Zodiac Signs to help me out with this one):
Iceland's element would be air while Romania's would be fire.
Miraculous Ladybug:
Non-canon Miraculouses-I feel like Vasile and Mr. Puffin could be their kwamis, but I am not going to used their pets. Since Romania’s national animal is a lynx, I am going to stick him with a lynx miraculous, but his kwami's name is Doina. Now Iceland's miraculous will be his national animal as well which is gyrfalcon so he has the gryfalcon miraculous. His kwami's name would be Soffía. Okay, time for names! I decided to combine their true human names and their miraculouses animal type. So Romania's would be Cătynx and Iceland would be Eirícon after they both transform.
Canon Miraculouses- From what I know about the power of each miraculouses now, not all miraculouses powers have be revealed yet, I would have to say that Romania would have the peacock miraculous while Iceland would have the dragon miraculous.
Hero or Villian: I would say they would be on neither side truly. If anything Iceland would be a neutral good until Romania gets ahold of him and then he switches over. Romania would be a neutral evil. The only way these two would ever join a side is when it is for their own personal gain.
Dungeons & Dragons Classes:
Iceland is a Cleric and Romania is a Sorcerer.
