[Headcanon Discussion] Valentine's Day and Romance

[inner-wings.livejournal.com]

Since it's Valentine's Day tomorrow...what's your headcanon about the nations and romance? I'm not talking about shipping so much, more like...what do they think is romantic? What's their ideal date? How are they spending Valentine's Day? How do they feel about love/sex/dating/etc? If it's your headcanon and it's in any way related to this topic, talk about it here!

Here's what I've got:

- America thinks the most romantic way to tell someone you love them is to have a plane write it in the sky. He would absolutely melt if someone did that for him, but sadly, most other countries think that's kind of tacky and stupid.

- England is very well versed in the language of flowers, and tends to assume that everyone puts as much thought into it as he does. Someone might send him a yellow carnation because they thought it was a pretty flower, and he'd be hugely hurt because it means 'rejection.'

- Russia has tried to write love poems to the object of his affections before, but he inevitably always loses his nerve and destroys the evidence. He sometimes considers just giving them a book of Pushkin's poetry and marking the love poems that describe how he feels, but he chickens out on that too.

- America firmly thinks that sex should only happen with someone you really love...and he regrets that he lost his virginity to France during his revolution (because they both knew there wasn't much that would piss England off more.) Since then he's pretty serious about saving sex for someone he truly loves. 

Okay, your turn!

Italy would bake a heart-shaped pizza and give the half of it to his beloved ♥

I think Canada would give the object of his affections a cute handmade card and chocolates with maple filling! <3

England absolutely loves hand-made things, especially if it's something he can use and bring with him everywhere (so he can daydream when nobody's watching). Also everytime someone asks where he got that he blushes like crazy.

Would he make the pepperonis heart shaped too? :D

Austria likes to be ridiculously extravagant in lavishing his affection on Hungary whoever is lucky enough to be with him at the time. This is, of course, an exception to the rule. Most of the time he's stingy as hell, as we've seen in canon.

I think that Japan really loves the holiday but, like Christmas, looks forward to the marketing aspect of it the most.

Sweden sees it as the day he gets his wife all to himself. He smothers Finland in gifts, chocolate, flowers, and kisses but doesn't expect anything in return. <3

I think France likes to make V-day fun. He probably does this huge elaborate thing for his lover. Like a romantic scavenger hunt that takes them to all these different places (like, place where they had their first kiss, etc.), or he cooks them a five course meal and decorates their entire house with roses (SYMBOLIC COLORS, OF COURSE). And of course, sex. Lots and lots of sex.

Aw Canada, so sweet! I bet those chocolate would be good.

[inner-wings.livejournal.com]

lol, England's so sneaky. XD

[inner-wings.livejournal.com]

Oh man, that's adorable. And I can totally see it too.

I think Ludwig would be absurdly awkward about it and read up on it for weeks beforehand. Only to fail. Oh, Buon San Valentino, history will repeat itself.
... Not very original, I know = v=;

I LOVE your headcannon for Ivan!

[inner-wings.livejournal.com]

lol Japan. XD

Sweden can be such a sweetheart, huh. ;)

Aww, that is so cute. x3 Actually, I can sort of imagine Canada doing that for someone. Flying aces! 8D

Romano would complain about how stupid the entire holiday is, but would secretly hope that someone does something for him. ♥

[inner-wings.livejournal.com]

Nothing less from the country of love, right? :D

[inner-wings.livejournal.com]

Poor Germany! Maybe he'll get it right someday~

Thanks! :D

Your headcanon for America isso cute. Uwah, I feel I need to contribute some things too, though I don't think about this much because... well I won't go into it. ANYWAYS.

Prussia hates Valentine's Day with a passion (obvious, oho.) Because when he was younger he used to get flowers for the girl he liked, and then chicken out because he wasn't quite sure if she'd like them-- too girly? Wait, getting flowers is just stupid anyway. -drops them and runs off-

France goes to extremes on one lucky person... But I think secretly he'd like nothing more than to be the one getting seduced, not the one seducing the other.

Romano spends the day searching for girls he knows he cannot get serious with anyway. America too. But America is an awesome flirt in the American style (AKA cheesy pickup lines, but is really upfront about it without being really bashful.)

Italy spends the morning half-moping about HRE until Romano tells him to shut his trap and go see that stupid potato bastard if he's gonna be so fucking unhappy. Dammit.

Spain... I don't know if he even remembers what day it is, but when he figures it out, he's all 'I MUST BE PASSIONATE!' and does so. I dunno, to everything, to an extremely passionate level.

Hungary spends the day hoping to get presents from Austria. Lately he's kept sending them, but they don't spend as much time together.

England goes to the pub and cries.

[inner-wings.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I can see Canada appreciating that kind of gesture. :D

Aw Romano. XD

[fuentealta.livejournal.com]

That's so sad but so true at the same time XD
Let's all give him a cheer up charm :D

Headcanon states that this year, China is too busy preparing for Chinese New Years to give a crap about v-day. Same with Hong Kong. They're both preparing for fireworks. WHY WHY WHY?! WHY IS CHINESE NEW YEARS ON THE SAME DAY AS V-DAY?! -wants chocolate

But they'll do something. Like, try to say something and then get scared. -sigh-

Since it's during winter time, I can see America calling up Ivan his loved one and having them come all the way to New York City where,he blindfolds them and takes them to the Ice Rink where it's all lit up and ethched in somewhat horribly is "Happy Valentines Day, I love you!" or some other cheesy line like that! X33

[logical-fish.livejournal.com]

And then Russia comes over and surprises him with a present?

[mystofthestars.livejournal.com]

Probably yes! :D
Another great way to spend Valentine's day would be eating spaghetti in a little, romantic restaurant - a scene like the one in "lady and the tramp" you know.

[ceruleanpure.livejournal.com]

lol.

Yes, I totally agree with this! <3
