Se där, år 2022 och folk har fortfarande inte lärt sig kolla källor online. Visst finns där viktiga diskussioner att ta upp kring Sverige men snälla någon, av allt internet kan få för sig att tro på så väljer de att tro att alla svenskar svälter sina vänner som del av nån kulturell grej när det bara är några rikeknösar som varit stereotypt rika online lol.
Hej mina eventuella fellow svältande svenskar eller något. Godnatt med er.

Hello there! I don't know if the inbox is open but could I request the Nordics (separate) with a darling (romantic) who just keeps questioning why they chose them of all people as they continue to try and leave them? Thank you and have a wonderful day!
INSECURITY: NORDICS
DENMARK
matthias honestly see's his darlings insecurity as fishing for compliments - normally he would shower them in verbal affection, especially if asked, but assuming that this is just after getting caught trying to escape, he's a bit pissed. "i don't know, i could probably find someone better couldn't i" yes this little shit is using his darlings moment of self consciousness as manipulative ammunition.
his darling is probably crushed at his words, matthias feels a bit bad seeing how their face falls, but it's for the best. if things go as planned, his darling will start to put more effort into the 'relationship', and stops trying to escape.
or his darling could completely shy away from him after hearing his words, smart decision, darling, if he see's how dejected they are, matthias is going to feel really bad.
he didn't mean it, min elskede!, he was just in a bad mood, it's like when you're feeling insecure and try to up and leave!. please forgive him.
it's best not to drag this out any further, and take the apology and pampering, lest matthias starts to think his darling is attempting to manipulate him, and believe me, you do not want to entirely loose his trust.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
NORWAY
lukas wonders the exact same thing sometimes. he really tried to shake his obsession, it's not like he wants to be so attached to his darling but he is.
he doesn't answer his darling initially, too busy enchanting the basement to keep them from trying to escape again. this likely puts his already distressed darling on the edge, and might lead them to think he's decided to dispose of them when he doesn't come and visit for the next week.
the darlings words linger in lukas's mind; if he hadn't already kidnapped them, he might have tried to distance himself from them and focus on his responsibilities as a big brother and a country (to no avail), but he can't risk his darling going off and telling everyone about what he had done, so, in that week he decides to put his darling out of their misery.
finally, after a week, he re-emerges into the basement, with a tray of food in his hands, his darling is soiled and starving at this point, so they don't fight back when he hand feeds them the love potion infused fiskesuppe.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
FINLAND
tino's heart just about breaks upon hearing his darlings words - it all makes sense now! his darling does love him, they just struggle with insecurities, that he clearly desperately needs to address.
so, if his darling doesn't like physical affection, verbal affection or being smothered, they just made the stupidest decision of their life; tino now dedicates his days to boosting his darlings self esteem. best to go along with his self love boot cam, he'll forget all previous grievances.
but assuming 10 hours of standing naked in front of a mirror complimenting themselves just creeps them out, and they still want to escape from tino's clutches; they once again try to leave when the chance presents itself.
finland goes absolutely insane, no one can calm him down when he realises his darling isn't home when he returns from the latest world meeting - after all he did for them? were they even being sincere or was it all another ploy to escape?! throw all previous trust out the window, once he gets his darling back he's going full tiger mum.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
SWEDEN
"who made you think this" berwalds instantly ready to throw hands, start a war, go viking mode. it's simply incomprehensible to him that his darling doesn't adore themselves as much as he adores them.
it must be someone's elses poisonous words corrupting his darling self image, probably denmark, or maybe prussia, germany and austria, or it could be-
if berwald hadn't kidnapped his darling yet, expect to wake up in his house the next morning - clearly his darling is being horridly abused by the people they surround themselves with to think that they aren't worthy of love.
whilst he wasn't planning on pursuing a romantic relationship with his darling, and was content in his position as their guardian angel, if it's what he thinks they need, he'll do whatever he must to ensure their wellbeing.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
ICELAND
here we have the angsty teenager, who immediately takes it as his darling mocking him. fine! be that way, he didn't even like them that much to begin with (lies). once he realises how immature he's being, he panics.
did he just ruin his entire relationship with his darling over his own insecurity? emil screams into his pillow when it occurs to him that his darling was being sincere. even if they weren't, he couldn't stay away from them for that long. if he wasn't already stalking them, he's picked up the habit now: they hate him so how else is he to get his fill of them?.
after a few months of being estranged, emil works up the courage to make amends. but it isn't the same, his beloved is on edge, they don't trust him like they used to. it drives him to absolute insanity loosing the closeness he once had with his darling.
he doesn't sleep, he doesn't eat, he just follows and watches them in a desperate attempt to get close to them again.
eventually, his brothers get concerned, lukas can't stand to see his baby brother so distressed, so he does what all good brothers do and puts icelands darling under a love potion. to emils horror. at first he thinks they've come around, but is quick to become suspicious of the sudden affection he's receiving.
emil will demand lukas undo the love potion, when his darling is back to their senses he's so embarrassed, he stutters apologies, as the door opens.
norway walks in with a suitcase, "here's all their stuff" "WHAT"
isn't norway a great big brother kidnapping icelands darling for him.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
GREENLAND
way to reinforce kunuk's belief that he and his darling are soulmates, reader. just when he thinks his darling can't get any more perfect for him, they say this. it's kinda disturbing to see the heart eyes he gives them as they pour out their heart to him, probably sobbing too.
he immediately counters with his own belief that he isn't good enough for his darling, but he loves them so much that he's gotten past that to bring them together (kidnap them).
if anything his darling made him more attached to them, he goes from being attached at the hip with them to being their conjoined twin; if kunuk wasn't open with them before, he sure as hell is now. if he was, all boundries between him and his darling fade at this point.
kunuk also uses his darlings insecurity as a way to isolate them from others; no one understands them like he does, as no one understands him as they do, so what's the point of going to america's birthday bash when he and his darling could stay home and cuddle?

hey! we have already done this dance in sso fandom before, where we pretend that revenue (the total earnings) don't actually matter compared to the final result. which is uhhhh yeah :) imagine spending 30 million dollars in a year and then pretending the company has no money and everything is in shambles.
some big swedish gaming companies revenue from 2020 (not 2022, sorry! i grabbed it from an article to be lazy!):
Mojang 5.595 MIL SEK (2020) Avalanche Studios Group 581 MIL SEK (2020) Starbreeze 280 MIL SEK (2020)
[SSE to compare: 362 MIL SEK (2022) ]
these are 3 companies taken from the very top of a list of sweden's biggest game company revenues in 2020 (mojang #1, avalanche #9, starbreeze #10). as far as i can tell, SSE having 362 MIL SEK in revenue in 2022 puts them up here with everyone else as a large and successful company if we look at revenue alone. i left in mojang to show that some companies are massive, but that just a few spots down (from #1 to #10) we suddenly seem to be at SSE level.
BUT POOR MEOW MEOW STILL IN THE RED??? yeah, for many reasons. we can tell that SSE doesn't always invest their money as they should, but there are other factors too like the electricity costs that hit everyone in sweden quite bad. but you also have to understand that its pretty normal for companies to be in the red, even if yes, they made a decent loss. it happens.
they literally made 362.5 million SEK. they used that to pay for all their needs - salaries, rent, servers, stuff you use your money on when you are a company. them being in the red means that they have to make some changes, because they had many years where their current spendings were sustainable, and now they aren't. it just means they need to change things. not that they're starving and dying and need to do anything they can to stay afloat. it doesn't excuse unethical behaviour (nothing does, especially not capitalism, jfc ssoblr get with the program)

In Cinderella Tales From Around the World, I've now reached the tales from Sweden and Norway.
*In many of these variants, just like in many versions from Great Britain and Ireland and some from Denmark, the Cinderella character is a princess by birth, and her stepmother is a queen. At first it seemed strange to me that a princess should be forced to clean, cook, and pasture animals, when royalty should have servants for those things. But then I remembered Disney's Snow White and how the wicked Queen forces Snow White to work as a scullery maid. In fairy tales, that sort of thing can happen.
*Whether there are two stepsisters or one can vary, though most often there's just one. But in all these versions, the heroine's abusers are a stepmother and stepsisters – neither Sweden nor Norway seems to have variants where she's abused by her biological family.
*In a few Swedish versions, the heroine is known as "Crow-Cloak," because her stepfamily forces her to wear a cloak of crow feathers. But in most others, as in other countries, she has a nickname related to cinders or ashes.
*The heroine's helpers in the Swedish versions come in a wide variety: a pike in a well, an ermine, an old man, a bird, a black ox, a midwife, a mountain troll, or even a magical apple, pear, and plum.
*The theme of the heroine being ordered to sort or prepare peas or grain, and her helper doing it for her, reappears in several versions.
*Almost all Swedish and Norwegian versions have the heroine go to church in her finery, not a ball or festival. Just one Swedish version, Askungen, has a ball instead, and that version seems heavily influenced by Perrault, because so far it's the only other version I've seen with a pumpkin transformed into a coach (along with rats into horses and caterpillars into footmen), and one of the very few where she has to leave by midnight.
*As in the Danish versions, the heroine usually says "Light before! Darkness behind!" to prevent anyone from following her from home to church or vice-versa.
*The theme of the stepsister(s) cutting her/their feet to make the shoe fit, but a bird revealing the trick, is once again constant.
*Several different Norwegian variants are called Kari Woodencloak, or in some English translations, Katie Woodencloak. As her name implies, this Cinderella figure does her dirty work wearing a dress made from boards of wood.
**The most famous of these versions, the one collected by Peter Christen Asbjørnsen and Jørgen Moe, is another variation on the "abused stepdaughter runs away with her magical bull" theme. Kari is a princess whose wicked queen stepmother tries to starve her, but the bull magically feeds her each day, until the stepmother finds out and plans to kill the bull, so they flee. The bull is forced to fight three trolls, which leaves him gravely wounded, and he implores Kari to kill him, then lay his skin under a stone. Sadly she obeys, and from then on whenever she knocks on that stone, her wishes are granted. The story then, of course, becomes a Donkeyskin/All-Kinds-of-Fur variant as she becomes a scullery maid at the castle of the prince, who treats her scornfully, only to fall in love with her when she comes to church dressed in magical finery.
***There are Swedish variants almost identical to this one too. Although they don't include the wooden dress, and in one of them, the bull is replaced by a white bear.
**There are other, simpler Kari Woodencloak tales too, though. One is like Cinderella meets Puss in Boots: Kari is a peasant girl who inherits only a pet cat when her parents die, so she and the cat set out to seek their fortune, she becomes a castle scullery maid, and the cat becomes her helper, hunting animals and selling them to the king, then using the money to buy finery for Kari. Others are standard Cinderella tales where Kari doesn't leave home, but simply slaves for her stepmother; in one of these, she gets her finery from a mysterious hill where disembodied voices speak, and another is like a simplified version of Asbjørnsen and Moe's, where the stepmother kills Kari's bull and Kari then gets her finery from his grave.
*There are many other Norwegian variants too. The heroine's various helpers in these versions include her mother's spirit, a bird, several birds, a mysterious old woman from inside a hill, or a fairy who appears from inside a lime tree and calls herself "the lime tree queen." (In virtually all the Scandinavian versions that include a magical tree, it's a lime tree, just like it's usually a hazel tree in Germany.)
*In some Norwegian versions, the stepmother is a sorceress who magically imprisons the father and forces him to marry her against his will at the beginning.
*At least two Norwegian versions continue after the heroine's marriage; her stepsister throws her into the sea and takes her place, but she comes back in the form of a duck, and her husband eventually breaks the spell.
Next stops: Finland, Estonia, and Russia.

The replacement :
Wilhelm x reader
Young royals
Warnings : I don't think there is if do then let me know
[he is so pretty]
Today the prince of Sweden is coming to the school at the almost half of the year but anyway the headmaster warn us about our behaviour, our looks and in general how we were going to act and everything. I didn't know what he looked like because I didn't really care so I am clueless about the whole royal family and stuff but I do know that August is a relative I thing a second cousin of the crown prince and the prince because he is bragging about it and it is so annoying.
We are getting ready for the prince to come because the headmaster made us to sing and stuff for the prince arrival and finally the royal family got though the door and sat in the front rows with me directly behind him with Vincent in my right side and Nils to the other .
He was beautiful with his golden locks falling in each side of his face, with that beautiful eyes that everyone would fall in love with, his tall but not giant frame his perfect jawline and the mole / birth mark in his check not very far from his jawline and I came back to reality by my friends and the orchestra starting singing the song.I couldn't be more proud of my friends, Felice and Simon they have so good voices I am almost jealous of it when the song came to an end the Prince walked where the orchestra was a few moments ago and started his speech and we all left after a while.
I went up to Simon and Felice and I congratulated them and said that they had amazing voices and we talked while walking outside, sadly we had to part ways so me and Felice were walking to our rooms to get ready for me to go to rowing practice and Felice for riding. Meeting with the team so we could start our work out /warm up in the gym and August the only thing he was saying the entire time was that he was <<happy >> the prince which I learned he's name was Wilhelm to be in the same school and stuff like that and he came up to me. "Hey, what's up? "he said taking a sit to the machine that was empty beside me
" Hey, I am good, are you? "I said finally looking at him
" I am very good, thank you very much " he said
" why the very good bro what happened? "I said, I called him *bro*because we sometimes are hagging out after practice but I wouldn't say we are very close so yeah it's a nickname
" well if you haven't noticed my cousin, Wilhelm is finally at this school and I am excited to have him here and stuff" he said for the first part I could notice the sarcasm and I chose to ignore it
"Oh yeah I haven't noticed thanks for letting me know now I know!"i said with the sarcasm very visible
" Okay jizz relax I was just saying "he said and got his hand up in the air in surrender and I rolled my eyes and looked ahead of me and continue with what I was doing hearing him ramble on about Wilhelm.
Now it is time to leave and I went to my dorm and took a shower and changed my clothes to my uniform because I have to wear it for the prince but not tomorrow tho and I went for the diner because I was starving. I went to sit with Felice and the others, we ate and went back to our dorms to get ready for sleep and I looked around a bit before going to my dorm and I saw the prince Wilhelm go to his dorm too and I waved with a smile and he did too and went inside to sleep
/~Time skip ~/(to the morning in class)
I was sitting not far from the back but not in the front of the class but in somewhat in the middle and I was waiting for the professor with my other classmates, I was glad nobody sat with me but it didn't last long that feeling because someone sat in the empty sit beside. It was the Prince He was wearing the red coat and the glasses looking expensive with probably his expensive collogue looking good and while he was lowering himself to take a sit he smiled down
"Hey!"
Sorry for the cliffhanger but I won't let me have the entire thing that I wrote In one go so suffer with me

He was wearing the red coat and the glasses looking expensive with probably his expensive collogue looking good and while he was lowering himself to take a sit he smiled douw to me
"hey!" he said still smiling
I was looking at him with confusion and looked around and it had some seats free so why did he sat with me it is strange
"Hey?" I said with confusion visible in my tone and locked eyes with him
"how are you today?" he said and the smile fall to a small one but still there
"I am good, how are you? " I said back to him
"I am good and oh by the way my name is Wilhelm" he said and put his hand up to shake mine
"I am Y/n" and I shook his hand smiling and the professor come in and started the lesson and I spoke up again
"don't you have like a welcoming party or something prince?" I said very close to him so the professor won't hear us and he turned to me
"oh yeah August wants to have it for so" "are you coming?" he yet again said looking a bit flushed
"yes of course I am why would I? August annoyed me enough to make me go" I said and he looked surprised
"you are friends with August?"
"Yeah I am sadly"
"oh"
That was the last time you taked and it was silent after that well aside from the teacher's talking
/~time skip ~/[to the end of all the classes and we go to the part that the society did what it did to Wille because I can and I don't remember how the events happened so it is going to be a little messed up, forgive me]
August was knocking at my window to get out for the test that we do for the new members but yet I don't know who was going to be the new member so I got dressed and with the mask and everything and got out. We partly kidnapped the Prince Holly shit we were doing all of the things that we do normally but I didn't knew we were going to walk him like a dog and spit into a red solo cup and give it to him to drink, I am sympathetic towards him but it is what it is and after he puked by our spits we took him to the hide out and we all took of the masked, he looked kind of shocked to see me, probably didn't expect a girl to be in something like that but anyway.
"Wellcome Prince Wilhelm "I started the conversation and looked around the hide out and he nodded towards me and hummed
[incert here the speech that August made wilhelm say after him because I don't remember]
We gave him his uniform and after that I didn't really talked to him but I caught him staring at me at several occasions but I choose to ignore it and got back to the conversation that I had with my boy Vincent (I really like Vincent with his personality and attitude mostly but his looks too) after I little while the party started and we were drinking booze that I later found out Simon gave so he must be here with his sister which I never liked by the way (I didn't liked Sara and I was right to not like her) so I went to find him but I didn't found him I did found Sara and my favourite Felice leaving and I too got out and smoked for a bit and I heard August yelling my name so I went to find him and I did it was difficult, with August were classic Vincent and Nils and they wanted to find wilhelm too and we end up searching for him after some time we gave up tho because we figured maybe he was with a girl having fun and oh we were wrong.

idk if that has been asked before but what do different parts of the world think of the wru and the whole pet business in your story? (i believe you mentioned canada?) is the majority for or against the concept of pets? and are there (specific) programs etc. for pets / liberation / rescue in countries that are against the whole pet thing ?
Yeah! We've talked about it here and there since the whole thing kind of started unraveling into an entire universe of stories. So in MY BBU (and this doesn't hold true for anyone else's necessarily, every story is its own BBU with its own rules), Canada is a lowkey refuge country for runaways, but its dependence on American imports means that it tends to pretend it DOESN'T provide sanctuary, with occasional crackdowns and with no real path to a better life for those who make it.
They end up clustering in border-adjacent towns and cities like Vancouver, living in a kind of seedy underbelly seething with resentment and fear.
One thing that I have been VERY VERY lowkey about is that my version of the United States in the BBU is slowly falling apart at the seams, and the whole pet industry is part of the "the rich content themselves while the poor starve". It's a kind of control mechanism, offering a "way out" for those who are desperate - but also a reward to the very wealthy for their achievement of being fucking parasites. However, WRU pretty carefully sells itself as equally serving the middle class, so some of the worst aspects of the system are hidden from the vast majority of people, who go on about their lives because this is normal for them. It's always been this way. And even if they wanted to change it, they feel it's too dangerous to do so.
But not everyone feels that way.
Countries that make it either outright illegal or really difficult to participate in pet ownership include:
The UK (illegal, but known to happen under the table - except for Scotland and Ireland who are in the midst of semi-violent fights for independence and who have been known to forcibly free people and some of the wealthiest citizens have, um, vanished).
Germany - illegal but, again, known to occasionally happen.
Legal in Russia but so expensive only oligarchs can afford the system, and Russia has its own version of WRU and does not allow American-trained pets within its borders except in diplomatic circumstances.
Much of eastern europe - illegal, and they WILL forcibly free any Russian pet who makes it across their borders and then send Russia a bill for the hospital care.
Sweden - Legal but heavily policed and regulated
Finland - Legal, claims to heavily police, doesn't always live up to it
Poland and Switzerland - Legal. Switzerland doesn't allow citizens to purchase but doesn't care if you bring them with you.
Japan - Legal and has their own system with its own rules and its own companies, with three main companies competing heavily
South Korea - Legal, two family-led corporations operate the entirety of the pet system and are in a ferocious rivalry. One of their 'heirs' went missing a decade ago and the company has always held the other company responsible.
China - China so heavily taxes any attempt to import that its own companies do very well within its borders.
(the USA, Japan, and SK have all had scandals where top pop groups were revealed to be pets. It became normalized in the USA.)
My BBU has African nations essentially banding together to give a giant middle finger to the rest of the world when it comes to such a system touching any of their borders. I have had individuals attempt to start arguments with me about this and that I was essentially 'not allowed' to not have it be legal somewhere in Africa. Don't be that guy. This is a story I made up in my head. I get to decide what I am comfortable going into detail about.
Technically illegal in Brazil, but there are a lot of accusations of a thriving underground industry. Same in Mexico.
Strictly illegal in Iran, but it's known that some individuals have been abducted and forced into WRU, even flown to America to be wiped and trained.
Basically, I think it's a hodgepodge. WRU is known to utilize shell corporations and fake names - the Russian company, for example, ultimately leads back to WRU and makes it money. It has agreements with South Korea and Japan to provide them with training and equipment, so it makes money there, too. Trades and exchanges between the companies are common to keep people moving and sometimes to get them away from nosy families trying to discover what happened to their lost loved ones.
WRU, for the record, also operates a pharmaceutical arm. And a mercenary arm. And has a subsidiary that makes cars.
Attempts to bring them down or undermine them often fail - because WRU has made itself an enormous sort of Lovecraftian capitalist monster, with its tentacles reaching to every corner of the world and into every possible part of the economy.

I love the Hannah x Lottie hcs but where is the Lurik hcs 👉👈 ma'am i am starving
I feel like I'm less good at Lurik headcanons because to me... They are just canon lmfao. But here's some anyways
My main headcanon is that they periodically see each other over the next ten years but don't really get together until they've both lived a bit more. Lucas needs a chance to deal with his trauma and really feel like romance is missing from his life, and Henrik is just vibing. But if they do get together in their 20s or 30s, I think it's definitely a healthy open relationship.
Because they're not going to move to each other, not at first. Henrik goes back to Sweden, Lucas goes back to work, and they care about each other but have established lives. I can see Lucas acting on the open relationship more vis a vie having very sexually charged relationships with women, whereas Henrik really only dates a couple of other people casually. I don't even really think they keep each other updated on what they're doing with who, because it's more of a 'it doesn't matter, when we're with each other we're the priority'. They always seem to find their way back to each other.
They're not super open about their romantic/sexual relationship, and mostly only are openly platonic in public. But in private, I absolutely see them doing really tender things for each other like Lucas massaging/using physiotherapy techniques on Henrik after a grueling climb. Or them showering together and Henrik gently washing Lucas' back and Lucas flinching then relaxing into it. Or after they're intimate Henrik brings Lucas a warm towel and Lucas starts crying a little bit because "no one's ever done that for me."
Henrik is so pro-therapy, and Lucas isn't going to seek help unless someone clearly points out he has a problem. I don't think Henrik would push it at first, but if they did get domestic and moved in with each other, Henrik would very firmly be like "yo, your self value is on the floor, you have daddy issues for days, and you don't have a good work life balance. You need to talk to someone and work on that."
They have SUPER contrasting personal styles and I love it. Lucas is all expensive button downs, suit pants, leather moto outfits, clean sharp looks. Henrik likes denim and cargo pants. That extends into their decor style too, Henrik imagines a cozy cottage like home, whereas Lucas is into the 'modern LED lit expensive apartment' look.
Henrik is the patient one in the relationship, and often acts as the voice of reason. I do think Lucas is smarter and more academically minded, but he gets worked up easily and is more impulsive when upset than Henrik.
On the other hand, Henrik doesn't really stop to think about the impact of what he's doing and is more impulsive about decision making. Lucas often makes him slow down and seriously consider the options, whereas before Henrik would jump feet first without looking. They both serve to temper the other, I love that for them.
Neither of them are super plugged in online, so they don't have much of a presence online. This both creates situations where people have NO idea they're together and are surprised, and Lurik are saying "oh we're a couple now" to people who are like "yeah I know... We were at your wedding".
Speaking of wedding, yeah they get married when they're like 48 years old. By that time, Lucas has kind of gotten worn down by not having solid roots anywhere and is thinking about the legal benefits. Maybe someone has a health scare and the other can't be admitted to the hospital outside of hours, or Henrik has a huge insurance claim that he can't afford and Lucas realizes they need to be married for him to help. Either way, they do eventually get married.
It's a small ceremony, and it's not... Excessively nice... Like the venue is expensive as fuck and all the items are newly purchased (and thus expensive), but I don't see either of them putting a lot of thought or planning into it. Lucas feels like a wedding planner makes it too 'official', and Henrik isn't really bothered to make anything /look/ nice just as long as it's fun. So they have a lot of expensive, nice components, but there's not really a united vision or thought put into making it seamless for their guests. They splurge for the open bar, venue, suits, and music, but the food/transportation/decoration fall to the wayside.
Henrik wants a big dog, and Lucas concedes as long as it's pretty. They get a doberman, and I think she quickly becomes their cherished baby. She gets a sidecar to the motorcycle and everything.

EDIT: More posts have surfaced from actual Swedish people living in Sweden now that are incredibly jerky saying people should not be fed as guests. This must be a development in the last 100 years, and I'm here to tell you your ancestors would be ashamed of you.
There are jerks in every country in the world, ok. But here is how historic Swedish hospitality works.
YOU OFFER YOUR GUESTS FOOD MULTIPLE TIMES!
So if they're doing their part of the ritual correctly, they will decline your first 2-3 offers. It shows they are not starving and they don't want to be an imposition. BUT YOU KEEP OFFERING! The 3rd or 4th offer, they accept. And then you feed them. And feed them another helping. And another helping. AND ANOTHER HELPING. You basically don't let them stop eating until they explode, ok.
Granted, I'm American born and I've never been to Sweden, but I have Swedish heritage and I am a history buff. So it's possible that social mores have changed. But historically, this is how Swedish people in Sweden and Swedish immigrants to The Americas viewed hospitality.
Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.
🇸🇪

I see Sweden become trending because people thought swedish people wouldn't feed their guests and will let the guests starve
I think it's a rare thing because no way in hell Swedish people are that rude... It's an isolated incident that happened to some people on Twitter and maybe it's just karma for those people. I don't think Swedish people are the evil step mother to their guest 'Cinderella'

Another take I saw on Sweden:
"Well, if I feed the visiting child his parents will think I think they don't feed him, also our schools feed our children unlike the USA so they aren't starving"
Excuse me? Most of these stories involve literal children staying through dinner. I'm sorry, I don't care about your culture; if you force a child out of the room and make them be by themselves while the rest of your family enjoys food, that's fucking rude and it's poor hospitality and you deserve to be called weird and rude for doing it.

"Six months of carbon emission savings released in one day."
So, the cruising in Lysekil was... neat? I mean...
Look, there's a subculture in Sweden. Raggare. Who drive old American cars and fly the bad flag only half knowing what it means, like it's just a badge, not sordid history.
Anyways, saw some guys with WWII helmets, some girls with Nazi stuff, but most people were just there to appreciate the cars and the 'drink til you drop' "culture".
I saw some nice cars.
I did.
But also, I thought that a culture appreciating and loving these cars would be a culture that actually cared for them. I heard so many coughing engines, so many clogged exhaust pipes, so many grinding breaks and axles, and so many cars couldn't even have their doors closed, the people inside had to hold them closed...
I saw two gorgeous cars who'd replaced their diesel engines with electric engines. They ran like dreams, their paint jobs exquisite, not a speck of dirt on them, polished rims and gorgeous colors.
But some cars were the definition of rust buckets... It was sad to see. I like the old US cars, I think they're pretty... To let such beautiful cars just... rot... is fucking awful. I honestly don't think half the cars I saw passed inspection.
Or they did, and the owners purposefully ruined them afterwards.
Puppy mostly slept through the loud nightcore music, and then got overwhelmed in the evening and tried to bite my hands off...
Not taking him out during cruising again, not like that. I didn't actually go to Lysekil for the cruising, I went there with mom to have some bbq for midsummer and go see the boat step-dad has been fixing up.
Puppy did not want to go on the boat.
Puppy also doesn't think he can shit on hard surfaces, which meant it was really difficult to get him to drop a deuce at the marina.
But those cars...
A lot of them were gorgeous and well kept, even though the diesel engines suffocated the entire city.
But too many of them were quite literally falling apart. The watch did a good job keeping the volume bearable though, sure, it was fuckoff loud with all the music and the idling engines, but it was bearable.
Not too many injuries, only heard ambulance sirens twice and the cops three times during the day and night.
The cruising path went right by our house though... sleeping was a challenge.
Also, puppy gets immensely car sick, the second he even sees the car safety harness he starts drooling and looking ill. He can make it about four miles before we have to stop to let him step outside... We'll need to work on that. I did buy some calming spray at the advice of many people, but I still don't understand what that'll do for nausea.
He drooled like a starving St Bernard presented with an all you can eat BBQ buffet. Albeit for a very different reason.

My friend,
@the-everlasting-one ,
and I were playing with an incorrect quotes generator and we started to take turns matching them with characters…
Some of these groups might not make sense due to the fact that we’re both certified idiots.
UN: Why is Greece so sad? Italy: He took one of those “Which Character Are You?” quizzes UN: And...? Italy: He got Turkey.
Greece: There is no future. There is no past. Do you see? Time is simultaneous, an intricately structured jewel that humans insist on viewing one edge at a time, when the whole design is visible in every facet. Cyprus: France: United States: Everyone Else At Greece’s Surprise Birthday Party: Italy: All I asked was if you wanted to cut your birthday cake first.
England: We need a distraction. Northern Ireland: Is anyone here good at jumping up and down and making weird noises? Wales, whispering: My time has come.
Google: If I die, my funeral is going to be the biggest party ever and you’re all invited. Amazon: If? Bing: Great, the only party I’ve ever been invited to and he might not even die.
United States: If you had to choose between Alaska and all the money I have in my wallet, which would you choose? Imperial Russia: That depends, how much money are we talking about? Alaska: Dad! United States: 63 cents. Imperial Russia: I'll take the money. Alaska: DAD!!!
EU: Why are you on the floor? UN: I'm depressed. UN: Also I was stabbed, can you get WHO, please?
Facebook: How's the sexiest person here~? LinkedIn: I don't know, how are they~? Facebook, flustered: I- Instagram, from across the room: I'm doing great, thanks!
Denmark, holding a python: Guys I impulsively bought a snake, what do I name him? Sweden: You did WHAT– Norway: William Snakespeare.
*The group is getting into the car* Delaware: I’m driving. Texas, out of view: Shotgun! Massachusetts, turning to face Texas: Aww! But you had it on the way here- Everyone except Texas: WOAH- Texas, holding a shotgun: No! I found a shotgun! And I want the front seat! *Pumps gun*
Fascist Italy: Don't worry, I got a plan. Third Reich: Alright. Fascist Italy: TraitorSayWhat? Imperial Japan: Excuse me? Fascist Italy: What? Imperial Japan: Fascist Italy: Fascist Italy: No wait-
Florida: If I accidentally sat on a voodoo doll of myself, would I be trapped forever in that position, doomed to starve to death? Louisiana: How am I supposed to know? Florida: You say, as if we don’t use you as a source of knowledge of the occult. Louisiana: *sighs* Louisiana: You wouldn't be trapped.
Kingdom of France: Must be hard not being able to laugh. England: I do have a sense of humor you know. Kingdom of France: I’ve never heard you laugh before. England: I’ve never heard you say anything funny.
Denmark: I’m gonna need a human skull and I can't have you ask any questions why. Finland: Only if you also don't ask why. Finland: *Pulls out 7 pristine human skulls* Take your pick. Denmark: Finland: Denmark: This one is fine.
United States, in a beach shirt: So sue me, it's October and I'd like to be on Island Time for a day! US Navy: I have Spotify open right now on my computer, do you want me to blast you? Do you want me to put you on blast?

United States, laughing: I HAD A CASE OF THE MONDAYS US Navy: ARE YOU HAUNTED?! ARE YOU FUCKING POSSESSED?! US Navy: YOU USED TO BE MY FRIEND United States, cry-laughing: ᴵ ᴴᴬᴰ ᴬ ᶜᴬˢᴱ ᴼᶠ ᵀᴴᴱ ᴹᴼᴺᴰᴬʸˢ
USSR: And if you have any suggestions feel free to put them in the suggestion box. East Germany: But – that’s just a trash can. USSR: It sure is!
UN: Anyone d- China: Depressed? United States: Drained? Chad: Dumb? North Korea: Disliked? UN: -done with their work... what is wrong with you people...
Liechtenstein: Why isn’t the statue smirking at me? Switzerland: It isn’t smirking at anyone, they’re all just imagining it. United States: Three of us saw it, Switzerland. How do you explain that? Switzerland: *points at United States* Sleep deprivation. *points at Russia* Paranoia. *points at Florida* Delusional personality disorder.
And on that note, I think that’s enough for one post. Here’s the link to the generator if you want to give it a shot: https://incorrectquotesgenerator.com/

I love your promt idea! The scene I would have loved to go on for a bit more is at the start of the 2nd episode. We see everyone hyped at the table and August tries to find out whether Wilhelm did something with someone at the party. We see him nervous and sneaking a glance at Simon and that's it. Maybe there is more? Maybe Simon's perspective? Would love to read it!
Hiiii, I hope you like itttt <3
Okay so here's the thing, I wrote this as if there was no kiss at the end of episode one. I wrote two drafts of it going both ways and this was the one that turned out, and made the most sense. So just roll with it okay???
Table Manners
Word count: 905
Rating: General Audiences
Read on ao3
Prince Wilhelm is nothing like Simon expected him to be, and it's infuriating. He's supposed to be loud and obnoxious, have a typical elitist attitude, and be impossible to listen to without Simon rolling his eyes. Yet, annoyingly, Wilhelm has managed to be brought up the complete opposite. Which definitely doesn't help Simon in his determination to not associate with people like him. Simon has strict plans to not find the Prince of Sweden tolerable in the slightest.
Then, Wilhelm had to go and be annoyingly charming.
At first, Simon didn't see it, not until the day they'd spoken briefly at lunch, and Wilhelm informed him he liked what Simon had to say in class. It was the last thing he expected to come from a prince, but there Wilhelm was, sweet and fascinating all at once. It had caused a sense of fondness to cascade from Simons mind to his chest, then to his stomach, causing it to flutter when he simply thinks of the boy.
Then was the initiation party when he and Wilhelm snuck outside, and it seemed like they were the only two people there. Lost in each other's conversation. The events of the night have been playing on a loop in Simon's head, and they don't seem to have any intention of stopping. Simon's mind keeps fixating on the way Wilhelm's palm was pressed warmly against his lips. He's stuck on how intriguing it felt to have Wilhelm tower over Simon as they hid. Peering up slightly when Wilhelm drew his hand away, eyes dawning on Simon, letting them flutter shut a second later.
Simon was convinced Wilhelm was going to kiss him, and maybe he would have if they'd been more shielded from party goers who were much too busy with their own dealings to really care. But the chance seemed too much a risk for Wilhelm; instead, he had rested his forehead against Simons. Seeming to indulge himself with a slow and nervous breath that he must have been holding. The tension between them only became thicker the longer they breathed each other in. After a pause, Wilhelm had moved away abruptly like he'd been snapped out of the trance between them.
They spent more time together after that, talking about nothing in particular. Their conversation flowed without suspension, like it does when there's something rare that clicks between two people, like Simon was meant to know Wilhelm, to feel for him.
In the little time that Simon has known Wilhelm, he's developed a fondness for the boy. Which is probably why Simon can't help the pissed-off expression that graces his features when August places a determined hand on the back of Wilhelm's chair. He peers down at him with sharp eyes masked with a teasing grin.
"Anyone," August asks the room amusedly, as he towers over Wilhelm, then circles the table like a starved animal, waiting for its prey to slip, so he can dig his claws in deep. It's clear who the question is really for, "Wille?"
Simon shuffles back in his chair, crossing his arms, ready to defend himself if necessary. He fixes his eyes hard on the place setting in front of him, refusing to feel guilty for nothing. Though after a beat of silence, he glares in August's direction, who has zeroed on Wilhelm, eyes threatening with accusation that could easily be perceived as mere teasing.
Simon clenches his jaw shut, working to keep his thoughts to himself. Nothing happened between he and Wilhelm, and if it had, August still wouldn't have the right to force the words out of either of them.
Wilhelm carefully glances at Simon; he almost doesn't catch the look before Wilhelm shifts his attention back to August.
"Wille disappeared from the party yesterday." August remarks, gaining insinuating chuckles from the crowd he thinks worships his every move. Simon rolls his eyes as August continues suggestively, "with a girl, perhaps?"
Simon instantly loses his appetite.
He watches as Wilhelm's eyes widen slightly, and a nervous laugh bubbles into his words, "what," Wilhelm blinks, like the notion is ridiculous, his cheeks turning pink.
"Felice?" August implies with a raised brow.
"No," Wilhelm argues, confused by August's suggestion.
Simon follows their conversation closely, wondering what Wilhelm will do.
"If not, then who?" August prods, and his peers begin to chant.
Wilhelm starts to stutter, "no, no." he shakes his head.
And somehow, the room becomes more obnoxious, "Wilhelm on the table! Wilhelm on the table!" the boys around the table sing, growing louder the longer Wilhelm sits refusing, absolutely terrified.
Nothing really happened between them. Just two boys sat together outside a party. There's nothing suspicious about that. But, if nothing happened, why does Simon feel like something did? And why does Wilhelm look guilty?
The chants don't stop, and the banging on the table becomes louder, plates and glasses clattering together as the room encourages Wilhelm to stand. All Wilhelm does is shake his head, insisting against what everyone's insinuating.
Simon, of course, remains silent, wondering what it is specifically Wilhelm is avoiding.
"Hey," an irritated voice interrupts, quieting the room into disappointed groans. "Calm down, everyone." they turn back to their seats, as they were before this madness started.
Simon sees Wilhelm breathe in a levelling breath from the corner of his eye, shoulders tensing even as he exhales. His eyes flicker across the table, not quite meeting Simons.

Hey hey heeey~ I just thought of something. What if from the order where the female reader country was forced to get married (That one from Germany and Russia) her boss tells them after a year of the marriage that they want her to get divorced and marry another country for convenience? Saying something like:
"Oh well, since we are better off there is no need for you to stay married to that country, rather I will engage you to another one from which we will get more benefit. Think about your people first and then how you feel, I don't care if you are both in love, you are someone very nice and outgoing lady, I'm sure any other better country will want to marry you."
Do you think it could be with the characters England, America, Russia, Germany, Canada and Sweden. All separately with 2p version and Yandere 2p? If you want to do it either way that's fine! Thank you very much
I only did four out of the six characters. This is because of my character limit is four, unless you ask for a specific group. You are more than welcome to request part two for the ones I didn’t do, or even a part one for the ones I did this time. A yandere version could also be written. Thank you again for the request, I hope you have a good day!
Russia – When his little wife comes to him with this appalling news Viktor will not be pleased. He had publicly declared that he loved you, and you had done the same. Viktor had also gone above and beyond in his duties as a husband. His love for you had led to amazingly beneficial for your people, and yet your boss wanted to end that.
Viktor, on the other hand, does understand that your boss wants what’s best for your people, but he doesn’t care. As long as you are healthy and he can help you, then there is no need for another. Viktor also carries the belief that divorce is only needed for extreme situations, and that other problems can and should be worked out.
In addition, if you are willing, Viktor is willing to raise hell to protect your marriage. He starts simply enough, pressuring your boss with his presence and offering details about why the two of you should remain united. Treaties and trade are the biggest pushes Viktor gives, but as time goes on, they become what Viktor uses against your boss. Many nations would avoid trading because of Viktor’s words, while enemies would start to rise from almost nowhere.
In the end, your boss will give in. Viktor is a big nation with lots to offer, he is correct in that he can not only provide for you but your people as well. So, why not keep letting him do so.
Sweden – Bernard only looks like he takes the news well. Though his hustru knows better, they can see the tightness in his smile. He is not pleased. Even if you thought had a fleeting feeling of just giving in to your boss, Bernard is there to remind you why it is important to fight for your marriage.
Being silver-tongued, Bernard has the benefit of easing his hustru while also convincing your boss to drop this evil idea. It may take some work, but Bernard is not easily dissuaded. He will spend hours with your boss, learning all he can while still dropping hints about how there is no benefit to taking you from him.
If it doesn’t work, then your boss gets annoyed. He won’t outright yell because Bernard has been nothing but diplomatic to him. Your boss may not even be able to deny the good points, but your boss refuses to give in. Especially since other bosses have sent in letters about marrying you to their nations. This is Bernard’s tipping point.
From this Bernard will resort to his final trick, disappearing. He has done with all kinds of people for all kinds of reasons throughout the centuries. Even though his own bosses have found some hiding places, they haven’t found them all. So, Bernard, will bring you both to the oldest one and hunker down until this is all done away with.
Since both of you are important, I can see this working. After like three months, your boss will give in and your marriage will be stronger than ever.
England – At the news Oliver is going to be shocked. He knew that bosses could be stupid, but he never knew that one would be so stupid as to cross him. His shock turns into giggles as he walks over to you and gives a quick kiss. Smoothing your hair, Oliver lets you know not to worry.
Oliver is the king of getting his way. He comes on strong because he wants to make sure that your boss knows why this should not go through. Firstly, Oliver is gonna send a box of cupcakes and a letter. The cupcakes won’t kill, but your boss is gonna feel all kinds of sick. Think the cupcakes Todd Packer gives out in the Office. The letter will be simply written, but still carry the deadly intent. It contains details about what should happen if your boss would continue to attempt to destroy his marriage.
You won’t be able to warn your boss about any of this, because you’ll be with Oliver, enjoying a wonderful date. He also won’t tell you that this is his plan. The only clue you get that anything happened is a phone call.
The call pretty much your boss apologizing for attempting to hurt you and saying have a good night with Oliver. After you two celebrate, Oliver will call your boss. He tells your boss a simple thank you, before walking over to cuddle with you.
Germany – This lazy guard dog gets aggressive once in a while, and this is that moment. He is your husband; he has given himself to you and only you. If you can’t stop your boss, he will. The thought alone of you being taken, causes his angry burns so intensely that he starts to turn red. His breathing gets ragged, and Luther grabs the nearest phone.
With the phone in hand, Luther dials your boss. In those tense few seconds of silence, attempts at calming him down only lead to him pulling you to him. There he just pets your head, until your boss answers. Not even a syllable is spoken before the grilling starts.
Words of anger, betrayal, and threats fly from the mouths of both parties. It takes about five minutes before the phone is angrily thrown down. Pulling you even closer, Luther promises that he will fix this and ensure that you two will remain as one.
Luther’s next choice of action is to use his resources. First, he will go to his boss. Offer deals in ways that could help you two remain together. If they work great, Luther will return to his laid-back self, if not then it's gonna get scary.
Luther calls on favors that he’s been owed. It adds up to quite a bit and tell them all to either drop their courtship or face his fists. This works for many nations, there are many recalls and a huge drop of interest in you. Those that still persist, Luther calls in the rest of the Axis for help. He will do the beat down, but the rest of them help keep away the allies of the offender.
In the end, you two win. Mainly because everyone realizes Luther loves you enough to give up his lazy lifestyle, and this leads to no one wanting to court you. Luther’s aggressive state will calm with the news, and he will go back to being a lazy guard dog. Always close, giving you affection and you two will celebrate like true husband and wife.
Yandere Version: So, the yandere version of this story would have ended differently. There would have been more stalking, and preparations made by the nations to ensure that their sweet little ray of light remains theirs. Also, in my opinion, yandere is a horror trope and as such having them as her husband would be horrific. Unless Stockholm syndrome takes hold, it's only gonna be bliss for one party.
Russia – As a yandere who had his родная within his arms, Viktor is willing to go to war to ensures that she stays there.
It will start simply enough, like his normal self, Viktor will mention lists of why they should remain together. Similar things as before, but his patience is much shorter than before. As in, the second it is confirmed he has a rival, hell will be raised.
Yandere Viktor does it very simply. Starve your country out. It starts with blockades, the intimidating huge Russian warships start to affect trade. Then it escalates to raiding incoming ships and shooting down planes. It is nothing pretty, and your country will struggle to fight back against this world power.
As your citizens suffer, you will start to feel ill. Viktor’s hurt by your pain; he doesn’t show it though. Instead, he holds you close, doing his best to comfort you. Running his fingers through your hair, asking what you need, administering medicine, and more. Though, there would be times when you are alone because of Viktor having to lead the charge against your people. After all, he was the one that wanted it.
In the end, your country is on the verge of collapse. So, they give into the Russian Government, maybe even suggest a merger. Viktor is pleased that you won’t be taken from him and didn’t even have to resort to full-out war. Viktor is saddened at your ill state, but he promises to help you rebuild, after all his influences will help make it all better.
Sweden – Bernard is quick to act the second he realizes that your marriage is under threat. He has a horribly awful plan.
First and foremost, you are hidden away. Just like normal Bernard, he will use one of his oldest and best-hidden hiding places. For anyone that is curious, his best hiding spot is like a big hobbit hole. Deep in the ground, warm and cozy. That little piece of nerdiness is where you will stay. It’s nice until you realize that only Bernard knows where the door is.
Well, Bernard then goes on the offensive. Taking care of any challenges that threaten his spot as your husband. Eventually, that’s not enough, so Bernard decides to target the source of his marital distress, your boss. With the begrudging help of his brothers, they take your capital. This is where you start to feel ill. For as your capital burns, so do you.
Once your boss is cornered, a simple secret declaration is signed. It is a law that decrees that you shall never be taken from Bernard. As nations, no regular citizens shall be alerted to this new law and it leaves you tied to him. After all, it is said until death do you part.
England – Oliver acts very similarly to his yandere self. Though he is much more direct as a yandere.
Yandere Oliver walks into your boss’ office the moment he hears about this foolish plan. His sources, the flying bunnies, would ensure that he hears this plan before you even have a chance to. At this point in your marriage you have finally calmed down, started to accept your place by his side, and he will not risk having you riled up again.
His smile will be like an angered Cheshire cat, wide and tight. No one will want to interact with him and those that watch him pass will pray for his victim. Once he corners your boss and making sure that no one will interfere, Oliver wastes no time drawing his knife.
He is clear with his threat. Let him and his dearie stay together or face a deadly curse. One that would affect all the choices he makes, and yet somehow not harm you in the slightest. Even if your boss gave in to Oliver would make sure scandals would abound, and hopefully, this would push him to either resigning or causing trouble. If your boss causes more trouble then he would have no choice, but to act on your behalf, and kill him.
In the end, Oliver got his wish. You two are still together, and the troublemaker is gone.
Germany – As a yandere, Luther will appear calm at first. It will feel like a trick being played by his kitten. Another attempt at getting away, that is until his own boss calls him.
After that phone call, Luther is quick to start fighting against the order. He starts by asking if you know of anything that could be used against your boss. Scandals, blackmail, family, or even secret pleasures that he could use to his advantage. If you don't give it willingly, then he's gonna force it out of you. Whatever you name, Luther is gonna use.
From there it is simple Luther has his own government back him with whatever info you had forced out of you. It makes for an interesting engagement with your boss. He isn’t happy with what happens, but he is willing to work with the German government.
At first, your boss may just extend the time you two are married. Maybe it’s another year or only a few months, but Luther will take it. This gives him more time to figure out something more damaging.
That more damaging thing is killing off your boss. Luther reasons that if he kills off your boss, the next one will keep you together. Luther will do it up close and personal, using his brass knuckles and then his firearm to finish the job. Sure, your nation will be in flames, but his government can clean up the pieces.
From there it's simple, he helped you in a crisis, and now your marriage is secure.
