I’ll send some asks- what are some of bang and wriath’s favorite things to do during down time.
Ik there’s arguments in every relationship, so what’s the biggest one they’ve had? And how did they make up? :0
How do they deal with each other’s fears, nightmares and anger?
Lastly who is the most affectionate out of the two. Or is it more if a “let me show you how I feel” or verbal affection? I’m interested to know more :D
Okay I love these 👀
Downtime
By downtime I assume you mean like... casually outside of the Games? I'm gonna assume that.
These two are usually hanging out together or with someone else. Typically Witt. Anita tolerates Witt. She finds him funny sometimes and annoying other times but he ain't bad. He's her gf's bestie so what can she do? If Anita gets visibly too annoyed, Wraith will have to excuse them both so they can leave because Anita is an introvert whose patience wears thin depending on the company.
If they're alone and have no work obligations, they're typically doing one of the following:
Listening to music. They're both big on music. Anita tries to get Wraith to listen to ANYTHING ELSE besides hip-hop and R&B but Wraith is stubborn. Anita is a musician so she'll listen to anything. Sometimes Anita will play a song on guitar or keyboard. Most of the time they just vibe out.
Working out. They're workout buddies! Wraith spots Anita's bench presses and cheers her on when she's a new personal best, and Anita pushes Wraith to run faster and harder. They are literally each other's personal hype squad during their evening workouts.
Taking walks. That's it. They love to take walls around downtown Solace City.
Watching anime. Wraith is a huge anime nerd and tries REAAAAAALLLY hard to convince Anita to watch it with her. Anita just scoffs and does it because Wraith loves it. She'll fake grumble about it, but actually kinda gets into some series tho she won't admit it.
If it sounds like they spend a lot of time together, they do! Kind of.... The Games keep them VERY busy with matches, interviews, events, meetings, banner card and merchandise photoshoots, etc, etc etc. They're both very independent and can survive without seeing each other for a while, but the time they do spend together is cherished a lot.
Arguments
Yes, just like any other couple these two have their little arguments. The biggest one, is something I wrote about actually! "Can You Hear Me" is the fic if you're curious. But TLDR...
These two have had some bumps in the road learning to fight together on the same team. They're both headstrong and stubborn and want to lead the squad. They've realized that when one of them takes a back seat to support the other, they do extremely well. But that urge to lead still crops up and they have to keep the other in check (this is all explained in another headcanon post about their synergy dynamic in the Games).
BUT ANYWAY. Biggest argument they've had was when Anita was essentially ignoring Wraith's calls in a match. Wraith is technically the "leader" (think an actual IGL) between the two because Anita lets her (more info in that post). But ignoring Wraith's calls when they were valid and good calls really pissed her off and she blew up at Anita about it.
To her it felt like a lack of trust on Anita's part and that hurt Wraith pretty badly. Anita realized that on her own, apologized, and tried her hardest to do better. Wraith was mad about it for a few days and it took some time to rebuild that trust and confidence but once they got over that hump? Man, they're a DEADLY combo in the Games.
In general, these two are pretty good about squashing their petty arguments. Both of them are so alike that either of them can be a little closed off due to tunnel vision, but they have some unspoken communication in place (A Look™) to make sure they talk out their differences without judgment in private.
Fears, Nightmares, Anger, etc.
Both of them are dealing with issues of PTSD that they're both in therapy for. They have a pretty good idea each other's known triggers and what makes the other uncomfortable or uneasy.
Anita is prone to panic attacks. If Wraith is around, she'll take Anita to a quiet place and sit with her and talk to her, help her through breathing exercises. Anita is pretty touch-averse during this so Wraith makes sure to ask her if she can touch her. If Anita gives the okay, Wraith will stroke her arm and rub her back while she talks to her. Anita's usually wiped out afterwards, so if they're out and about or with friends, Wraith will quietly excuse them. Anita hates it and feels embarrassed about it so she's generally pretty quiet afterwards. Wraith doesn't pressure her to talk. She'll embrace the silence or try her best to make one-sided conversation while Anita recovers.
Anita has trouble sleeping once in a blue moon.
Wraith, on the other hand, is prone to nightmares. She generally doesn't sleep very well at all on her own. When she sleeps with Anita, she's much better off but still has trouble. The nightmares will force her awake, shaking, seeing shit in the shadows she's pretty sure aren't there, etc. She's touch-starved afterwards when she wakes, but as she doesn't like to be restrained (another headcanon post on this), Anita is careful not to hug and hold her as hard as she'd like to. Anita has told her before that she whimpers and cries in her sleep sometimes, too.
Do these two ever get a good night's sleep? Yes, quite often, actually! They sleep better when they're together. Having Anita at Wraith's back helps Wraith feel less alone and more supported. And Anita holding on to Wraith helps her feel more grounded.
As far as anger and emotions, they're very much alike but also different. They're both fairly chill, and Anita is generally more chill than Wraith is. However, Anita tends to have a much lower tolerance for bullshit, and when she feels something, she feels it strongly. Wraith can stretch her patience out much longer (case in point, talking to Witt), but if something pisses her off, it pisses her off.
They both know that the other can be a bit much or a little intense when they're pissed, so they've learned to kinda step in a little when they're going too far. They'll give the other A Look™ that basically says "you're being a bit much right now, let's discuss this in private."
Because of Anita's experience, leadership, and confidence, most of the other Legends don't bother calling her out when they think she's wrong. Wraith will 100% do this to her face, but only outside of prying eyes. That same Look™ means "we need to talk."
Affection
Ahh I love this. So I made a headcanon post about these two’s love languages but I’ll give a TLDR here:
Neither of them like PDA. All their affection and love is given behind closed doors in the comfort of each other. Anita is surprisingly the more affectionate of the two. Like I’m not joking when I say she’s a giant ass baby with Wraith when they’re alone—hugging, touching, kissing, petting, lying all over Wraith. She loves that shit.
And Wraith loves it too. She’s just not as outwardly affectionate to the degree that Anita is but stroking the side of Anita’s head, caressing her face/cheek, fingers over Anita’s arm, that really tender shit? That’s Wraith all day. Subtle and sweet.
Anita is very much an "action over words" type of lover. Wraith prefers receiving words of affirmation, and Anita really does try, but she does slip into her "lemme buy you your favorite dinner or give you a massage or just let me do something for you if you need it" moods.
Wraith just loves spending time with Anita even if she won't readily and openly admit it. Anita knows this deep down but won't call her out on it/joke about it because she knows this is extremely personal to Wraith.
MAN that was a lot but I def enjoyed writing all that! Thanks for sending. I love an opportunity to blab about them :3

we have talked a few times and im sorry for this but you are the most accepting and easiest person to talk to honestly i dont have many people in my life i can tell anything real to. but the thing is ive been thinging about relapsing a lot more since i broke up with my boyfriend and i work with him so it makes work depressing and impossible to get through a day without crying sorry this is anon but i am scared ily dont hate me i am not trying to stress you out
ok wow first lemme just say: I DO NOT HATE U. EVER. 
and don’t be srry i don’t have a lotta ppl irl i can tell my shit to so i get it. pls know u can always ALWAYS ALWAYS come to me, and u dont gotta be scared to come off anon. i get it and it’s ok if u prefer it that way- but pls know i dont keep it on alot bc i get hate and then i turn it off bc i gotta look out for myself and dont post all the hate bc i dont wanna bring yall down or give them the satisfaction of knowing i have given it a read and response. so u can message me or make a sideblog or idk im just saying this so if it’s off later u dont blame yrself or feel scared to come off anon. ok sorelapse is a real thing and it’s fucked and hard and addiction is fucked up and a real life struggle and we dont treat addicts w the real tenderness, respect, kindness, and acceptance they deserve. but u DO deserve it. and there are hotlines, apps, churches, groups, chatrooms/boards, and sites that are more versed in what are the appropriate things to say to u- i say this bc while i’ve been thru it w loved ones i have not myself struggled w addiction w substances. my addictions were to self harm and victimhood so those are the things i searched for help on. but if it’s alright i’d like to give u some tips or things i used and have heard work for addicts of substances
places like i said like churches, groups, chatrooms, sites, apps, hotlines the apps and hotlines are good if u cant travel or want to talk to ppl who wont share their story bc maybe u cant hear it like its not the kinda help ur looking for. hotlines are sometimes tricky bc some of those folks are not educated they are volunteers so judgment leaks thru and in that case u ask to be redirected and report that volunteer so hopefully they dont repeat that kinda mess to other vulnerable folks looking for help
make a list of things, anything. list of foods u like to order, list of things that make u clench yr teeth, what were yr fave gifts you’ve ever got, style icons of urs, hobbies u tried that annoyed u, movies u can always watch, places on yr skin u hate being touched, any list of anything it doesnt have to be the usual thing of “what to live for” bc when yr depressed those kinds of things arent easy to think of. but if u get a list going of like “best things ive ever touched” “sounds that make me laugh” “trends that were stupid af” “popular things that i didnt like n couldnt figure out why they were popular” “weirdest ppl ive met” well those things might get u on a roll of good memories or laughing or seeing that theres more to yr life than what has been occupying yr thoughts
dancing. dance in yr room in the dark. clear some space. put on some headphones. lock yr door. do it in the shower. just dance. i had to start w closing my eyes and picking songs that i was taken by emotionally. songs that made me jump and slamdance tbh and then it’s just gotten more and more something im not as ashamed w. i spent a date night w james just dancing and then we ya know ya know bc the dancing got so wild. now i make playlists of songs that set moods for diff kinds of dancing
watch shows w ppl who arent doing better than u. they dont live in fancy places, they dont do much w their lives, they dont dress better than u, they struggle, they arent eating good food u dont have access to. iasip. freaks and geeks. letterkenny. undeclared. jake and amir. tpb. the state. youtube. tiktok/vine comps. lots of these kinds of vibes on youtube
podcasts. improv comedy podcasts tbh saved my life. comedy bang! bang! has best of’s those are good ones to start w. improv4humans bc matt besser has great guests of some of the best improvisers out there and he has musical guests and they’ll play a song and the improvisers will use it as inspo for a scene
make things. moodboards. pinterest. playlists. fill a shopping cart and tell yrself “i’ll get it when i win the lotto and move away from anyone who knows me so i can be the me i wanna be w/out judgement” make tea. make a meal if u can. make yr bed. clean one thing. clean the sink. hang some clothes or go thru yr drawers and clean them out. throwing things out feels hard at first but then it’s nice bc u feel less bogged down
find something to throw yr obsession at for a bit. something that wont hurt u as bad, being obsessed in general isnt good. everything in moderation irl. too much of something is bad just as much as too less of it can be bad. but yr looking for something lower risk here and if u gotta be obsessed w a celeb or a song or a food that’s ok. yr focusing the energy on something that isnt a substance so be proud of it
give yrself a break. give yrself some credit. everyday isnt gonna be on the “best of your name here’s days” but sometimes u just live to live bc that’s what u do. u wait it out and get thru it and wait for the sun to come back out. and if u cant get outta bed. or if you hate yr job and wanna scream- that’s normal it’s more normal than always being happy ppl just dont like talking abt bc society kinda trains us to hide our fucked upness idk why but thats how it is. they dont wanna tell us to do preventative care until we’re in the pits
all in all- it comes down to (at least for me) not planning w an endgoal in mind. it’s not over til it’s over and rlly we dont know. it’s all fluctuating and not meant to be a finish line we cross and then suddenly we’re done and we dont suffer anymore and the feeling of shit is gone or the risk of relapse is gone and the depression is cleared away never to be seen again. it’s not realistic. bc it isnt real. on the real- risk is always there and the downs and ups mix and run together and depression is not curable (this isnt something to be miserable over tho) depression isnt curable, yeah ok, but it is manageable. it can be quieted down from time to time and if u keep up w yr healthy routines and coping mechanisms- depression will still find its way to u bc the real world is not something u can manage. death in the family, loss of money or job, car breaking down, sickness outta nowhere, depression grows wild when these very real life stressors come into our lives. but all that too eventually gets easier and easier at least from a “ok i have some distance now” standpoint. and then as those days get more and more btwn it u can then be like “oh wow, ive made it thru X amount of days! ive put up w it this long! whats one more day, whats one more week, hell might as well see how much prouder i can feel once ive got a year under my belt!” plus u will be more capable of handling the bullshit if u know u can still find some safe places in yr coping skills or friends or resources.
ok so this is prob a mess but bottomline know this:
I love  you and i will be here the best i can should u ever wanna come spill or if u need me to just send u pics of my dog or boring pics of knickknacks or selfies or memes or links or anything just tell me what u need and i will try my best to show u my love. i hope u can see that u reaching out is just already a HUGE major step in the right direction, give yrself credit! thats amazing! yr already doing it pumpkin look at u! it’s hard ik. but i also know if u are capable of saying u have this problem going on, u are capable of getting thru this. u are a light in the world. u offer goodness and u offer yrself and that’s enough. even if yr fucked up right now- u are contributing to the world by simply being u. there is literally NO ONE ELSE WHO IS YOU. so u are unique by definition. i hope u get something from this post and if not i hope it strikes an idea or thing u can do that will help. i hope u know im here and i hope u see this.
i am sending u all my light and love and good vibes and i can’t wait to see or hear from u again. u are never bothering me, a burden, or stressing me out. tbh it stresses me more that u might be struggling and not telling me or anyone. i dont ever want u to suffer in silence bc u feel guilt or scared or anything. u deserve to have a place to voice yr shit. im here to listen if u do wanna tell me anymore.
everyone else-if this helped or if u can think of anything that might help anon or anyone else- feel free to reblog and get some good NONJUDGMENTAL advice or tips and tricks going, but please please please remember to not come off as judgey or flood it with your drama. keep ur drama out of this post so anon or anyone else doesn’t get triggered by it. 
and dont ignore my rule and do it anyway and then say some shit like “ik u said not to but i think this will help lol sorry” like we need this post to stay on this vibe that i set in motion and not a struggle contest or dick measuring or all sad personal reminiscing. go make yr own post for that this is NOT the space.

An Honest Conversation  ― CANON. (current verse)
Brady reaches out to Max to clear the air about what happened between them, and in the process a secret is shared.
BRADY: hey BRADY: got a minute?
MAX: hey dude MAX: sure MAX: everything okay? 
BRADY: yeah i just wanted to say something BRADY: ik we kinda talked things through a couple days ago or whatever but i kept beating around the bush with this and i don’t wanna do that anymore BRADY: probs not a big surprise by now that i’m bi but you should know that i’ve known that for like longer than i’ve known you. and listen dude, i don’t know why the fuck i haven’t just said it before either. just didn’t really feel important i guess? BRADY: feels important now cuz i want you to know what happened the other night wasn’t just some sorta curiosity or experiment or whatever. i have like a ton of respect for you and shit. BRADY: anyway. yeah. MAX: oh. wow. okay. give me a sec here MAX: first of all, thank you for telling me that MAX: i'm not gonna be that asshole who said they always suspected 'cause honestly... i had no idea and wasn't going to assume. doing what i did was stupid as hell tbh. MAX: honestly i've been wanting to talk to you too MAX: just want to say that if i pushed you into something before you were ready to let me know, i'm sorry. can't help but feel like i nudged a little, you know? MAX: i respect you and shit too, dude MAX: does anyone else know about that? the bi thing? 
BRADY: you do a lot of stupid shit but there's nothing stupid about being honest. BRADY: think about who you're talking to rn and then tell me if you seriously think i wouldn't have walked right the fuck out of there if i felt like you were pushing me. BRADY: i mean. i don't really tell people if that's what you're asking. couple dudes i've been with might be a lil clued in. MAX: i mean, i guess. just wish i was brave enough to be honest without getting drunk off four loko. four fucking loko Brady MAX: well yeah that's definitely true. you're not exactly shy MAX: you know i'm not going to say anything, right? or do anything to compromise that. now i'm just remembering all the dumb jokes i made on my channel and cringing at myself tbh MAX: you're still Brady, dude, that ain't gonna change MAX: gotta say i don't exactly mind the bi side of you, though BRADY: does it matter? BRADY: obviously. that's why i wanted to tell you. and it's not like i didn't do the same shit. people are gonna think what they want. BRADY: and i also wanna make it clear i'm not like ashamed. i'm not trying to hide it. idfk why i never talk about it man. it just doesn't feel like something i should have to say if that makes sense. BRADY: the bi side of me is...every side. you know i never explicitly told you i'm straight? you just thought cuz i never said otherwise. which i guess makes sense but like whatever dude. BRADY: but for the record i obv know what you meant by that and trust me. i know. MAX: I mean not NOW MAX: You shouldn't really have to talk about it if it's not what you want. Like I know I'm loud about my shit. But not everyone is like that. No one has to know every single thing about you if that's not your style MAX: I wasn't trying to make any judgments. I didn't know what you were and it felt rude to ask. but I had like... vibes I guess? Which sounds so douchey to say wtf MAX: Just. You're my best friend, dude. You can tell me things. Literally nothing you could say is gonna make me judge you MAX: I know being bi's just a part of you. In case you didn't, I liked what we did the other night. A lot. MAX: And if you ever wanted to do it again... I wouldn't exactly say no. But if you didn't, that's cool too.  BRADY: it’s not. that’s why i don’t do what you do. but to each his own and whatever the fuck. BRADY: i get it. BRADY: yeah i know. that’s why i’m telling you over fucking text because it was bugging the shit out of me. couldn’t wait.

Wanted to say something to you sooner, but didn't want to push you. Really though. I'm glad you told me. MAX: Hmmm where's your proof?? The camera didn't record that part buddy MAX: Love it when you pull out the big words on me MAX: What if I am?  BRADY: doesn’t matter now. everyone left satisfied last i checked. BRADY: didn’t it though? it records audio too you know. BRADY: idk. maybe i’m into it. MAX: Oh so is that what you've been listening to while you're editing?

Can’t believe it’s been a whole damn year since I created Hetalia Tomodachi Life. So I thought I’d make a little list of things that happened in the game that made me laugh, or get mad, or something. (Warning: it’s long!)
1. China is a dirty old man who pursues young women. Especially Nyo!Russia. He went after her at least a dozen times before she got married. Then he just started picking random girls left and right. For those familiar with Vinesauce Tomodachi Life, he’s basically Karl, except he actually gets the girl a couple of times, only to break up. His boy charm score typically sits at the -200 mark.
2. Denmark has been my best friend since the very beginning. Early on, everybody on the island, including us, shipped us together and wanted us to go out. I, the look-alike, wanted none of that, and foiled every single attempt. I got so mad that I made a song about it. But anyway, HTL Denmark is even cuter than canon Denmark. If I had to besties with anyone, I’m glad it’s him.
3. Estonia was a typical school nerd (still is) and Spain, the “baddest of the Bad Friends,” was his bully. Nowadays, the two get along fairly well, even making an agreement to leave their past behind them.
4. Nyo!Macau, a character with no canon personality whatsoever, actually wound up as one of my favorite characters. After I gave her the Meadow interior, I thought to myself that it kinda looked like the standard Windows 7 (?) desktop. Combined with her voice, I got it in my head that she was the personification of Windows, so I changed her name to that. Later, she started dating Ladonia. Fitting, since he’s the Internet future boy. But she’s WAY older than him. So then I got it in my mind that she was an old cougar. So. Her name’s now pronounced “the old cougar,” although one of her phrases is still “Error,” a leftover from her Windows days.
5. Austria had a jester phase. Seriously. I even made the game pronounce it “Jestria” for a time. Basically, I gave him a jester outfit and he just kept wearing it all the time. I eventually got sick of it and made him wear women’s clothes and other ridiculous outfits, which he still does to this day.
6. Nyo!New Zealand is all white. Empty white interior, white-painted hair, and only white clothes. It is white on white on white. I honestly can’t remember why I started doing that, but I did, and I will not stop until I have given her every white hat and outfit that I can possibly give her. Somehow she still hasn’t made it up to the top of my most pampered list.
7. Sealand is permanently known in my head as “Piss Stain.” There was this one time when he had a fight with New Zealand. He was wearing an all-yellow outfit (a body suit, I think), and I thought to myself, wow, he looks like a piss stain amidst all this white. Ta-da! Piss Stain. I think it fits his canon bratty personality, too. I can see England calling him that.
8. Rome x Liechtenstein is a thing. And they are boring as fuck, despite all odds. They don’t do anything of interest, and so far, they’re the ones who have had my least favorite baby by far. And they’re showing no signs of breaking up anytime soon. Fuck. At least Nyo!Russia x Finland was interesting, even if they pissed me off for reasons I don’t know.
9. Oh by the way, Nyo!Russia is married to Nyo!Belarus. HUZZAH!!! Now have a fucking kid already.
10. Fart Voice Bulgaria. I don’t know. I gave him the lowest-pitched but also squeakiest and, well, fartiest voice I could. I ran with it. I also love fucking around with how the game pronounces things in his voice, making his angry phrase nothing but a string of euro signs. It just sounds like “Yurururururuurururururu.” It’s hilarious. He has a son with a voice that’s just as glorious. I made a song about it. Bulgaria is proud of Nathan’s voice and likes to show it off. Nathan himself is ashamed.
11. Nyo!Germany and Romano were the first couple to get married and have a baby. Their first baby was all right. Nothing too exciting. Their second baby was a tree-hugging hippie.
12. France is called “Daddy.” It was a stupid joke. But one of the news clips made it amazing. The news about how a burger with a random-food ingredient completely fails, and it’s at the restaurant called “Big [islander name]’s.” It randomly picked France’s name, so the restaurant’s name is pronounced “Big Daddy’s.” It was so glorious I had to make his full name Francois “Big Daddy” Bonnefoy.
13. Luxembourg was given the catchphrase “High-claas!” That is not a typo or misspell. I accidentally typed “claas” instead of “class” and I liked how it sounded, so I kept it. lol
14. Nyo!Iceland is a wannabe fish. (Or a mermaid. But I like “wannabe fish” more.) She has the Seabed apartment and her worried phrase is “Time to spawn!” because I’m a weird fucker like that.
15. Somehow Japan always raised his hand to the really dirty Quirky Questions. Nice to know, dude...
16. EGYPT IS BORING AS FUCK GOOD GOD. I don’t like any coupling with him in it. Seriously considering deleting him even though he’s a mainstay. Also, I figured out a way to make him say “...” without the game pronouncing it as anything (normally it says “dot”). There’s period marks in the Greek keyboard. Those will stay silent. All of his phrases are “...”
17. Nyo!South Korea is also known as “That Bitch” with a trademark sign. Thing is, the game actually says “trademark sign” in her catchphrase. It’s soooo good. Plus, her best friend is Nyo!Poland, a catty girl herself. They’re absolutely perfect alpha bitches together. Her husband Australia was likewise given the catchphrase “She’s MY bitch!” They had two beautiful children.
18. Nyo!Spain is a teacher who’s hot for at least one of her students, and has no qualms about asking them out.
19. Spain and Nyo!New Zealand make the CUTEST babies. Too bad I have a strict two-per-couple limit. Also that they, uh, divorced. (Their son, Elijah, is a wannabe supervillain. Or is he just a wannabe...?)
20. There are two Carters. That’s Seychelles and Hong Kong’s son. The first one is forever stuck as a traveler on This Damn Island (who even streetpasses around here). The second one was recreated and lives on the island, but has a love for travel.
21. Winter is still the funniest character by virtue of how out of place he is.
22. For the longest time, I just typed the characters’ names and let the game try to pronounce them, and just run with it. (Now I actually try to get the game to pronounce them as correctly as it can.) This is especially hilarious when listening to the game mangle Finland’s or Chris’s (Russwe) last names. But even some of the simpler-seeming names get mispronounced - Natasha, notably, gets pronounced as “NAT-uh-shuh” without further fixing.
23. I made sure Nyo!Latvia’s name got as many A’s tacked on to the end as I could. It’s still funny.
24. Greece started life as a furry. Now he’s not, at least not openly. I remember calling him into his apartment when he was in a good mood, and as I’m searching through the menu, he says “Let’s get laid!” and I completely lost it. I did NOT remember giving him that phrase. The other great phrase of his is “Fuck Sadik!!1!” which he pronounces as “fuck SAD-ik exclamation point one.” It’s hilarious in his slow, monotone, dead voice.
25. Switzerland is another character whose voice is hilariously out of character for him. It’s high-pitched and the pitch curves upward at the end of his sentences. He’s still as pissy as he is in canon, with phrases like “GET OUT!!!” and “I’ll shoot!” This combination makes him one of my favorite islanders.
26. For whatever stupid reason, I gave Liechtenstein surfer dude slang for phrases. She also lives in the Ring (like, a boxing/wrestling ring) apartment. Maybe it’s just me, but Liechtenstein is my favorite character to make out-of-character.
27. Serenity, born to Japan and Nyo!Norway, is by far my favorite baby. Owen, Chris, Elijah, Alyssa, Sophie, and Nathan are really good, too. The HTL babies are my OC’s and I will cherish them. Don’t know if I’ll make fics with them or not...
28. Nyo!Lithuania is known as “Heartbreaker.” Why? Because she divorced Denmark on Valentine’s Day, and she’s only been dumping guys ever since. Although she has hung on to Romania for a while now...
29. Finland is known as “That Finnish Ass-Hall” (can’t say “asshole” in the game). I hated him for dating Nyo!Russia and being extremely persistent about marrying her. I don’t even know why I hated them so much, I just did. He still has his phrase “Fukk off, Yao!” from the days when he was chasing after her booty.
30. Nyo!Canada used to have the phrase “Please, Daddy...” because she dated France (”Daddy”) for a while. I’ve since changed it because it was weird, plus she’s married to Turkey, but I might change it back...
31. I originally planned for Nyo!Ukraine to be a total friendless loser, even giving him the phrase “I’m a loser.” Mostly because of my headcanon that he just has no confidence in relationships. Except, he made a lot of friends really fast, and it was Ripper, Nyo!France, and Monaco who were the friendless losers for the longest time.
32. Italy is living in the haunted mansion interior. For reasons.
33. I’ve noticed that in Judgment Bay, characters tend to form the same groups over and over again, and I’ve made some songs out of the results, such as “Slaughter Planet Earth” (all three Italy brothers, Australia, Nyo!Lithuania, America, Nyo!Prussia) and “Just You and I Here” (America and Nyo!South Korea, and later Owen).
34. Oh, yeah. There was that series I did with Egypt and Sweden where the lyrics to all the songs were just “..........................................” and “mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.” One of the songs crashes every time lmao.
And that’s all I have for now. Damn, I invested a lot into this game.
