Spain attributed the success of his Zumba classes to his personality.
Because I’m on a roll, America and Germany in the 1950s. Sometimes both sides of the conflict are assholes. Sort of a continuation of this comic.
Addition, because I had fun drawing this:
The German States: Austria - Roderich
—————————————–
“And Bavaria’s brother is the one who you must be the most careful about. He is the only one who could challenge me for my right to raise you. He would steal you away from me at the first opportunity. He is the only reason that I’ve kept your existence a secret for as long as I have.”
As Prussia paused again, Germany already knew who he was turning his attention to. He had a memory that might have been a dream. It was blurry and far away, but he remembered it none the less. It featured a dark haired man who was imposing in his presence rather than his stature. The figure told him that he would be going to war, and then the dream faded away.
He expected the name that Prussia was going to speak, and was hardly surprised when his brother continued, “I have known Austria since I was your age. I know him more intimately than any man alive, and yet I am not sure where to start.
Roderich is as prim as a peacock and just as vain. He cares about his fine clothing and his expensive jewels, and has always balked at the idea of dirtying them. His wealth has granted him the ability to dress as he pleases, and he makes no secret of it.
His position was given to him when he was quite young when the Habsburgs took possession of his land. When I was a knight he was already a lord. Though he is the younger brother, he was groomed for leadership.
I know that he has never known a day of hardship in his life. It is almost too kind to just call him spoiled. His world has always been full of power and privilege and he could never imagine what it is like to fight for those things.
While I would understand underestimating him based on his physique, make no mistake. He is dangerous.
He will never be the most threatening man on the battlefield, but in the halls of diplomacy he is the master. His power comes from centuries of prudent decisions and advantageous marriages. At one time his marriage to Spain secured him power in most of the continent.
He is an object lesson in the ways that power works. It is not always the strongest who prevails. Sometimes it is the clever and strategic mind that prevails.
I would like to think that I have learned that lesson well, and you should pay close heed. In this long game of ours I have finally secured a path to victory. Roderich is a worthy enemy, but I will win in the end.”

“You’re not actually going to call him,right?” “W-what? O-of course not, Tsukki! W-why would I?”

Now, I don’t know about y'all, but I sure as hell didn’t come down from the goddamn Smoky Mountains, cross five thousand miles of water, fight my way through half of Sicily and jump out of a fuckin’ airplane to teach the Nazis lessons in humanity. Nazi ain’t got no humanity. They’re the foot soldiers of a Jew-hatin’, mass murderin’ maniac and they need to be destroyed. That’s why any and every son of a bitch we find wearin’ a Nazi uniform, they’re gonna die.
‘the young prince, they began calling him. not the one-year-old heir to the throne in kyoto—but him. the rumours that overran the shogun’s retinue were wild and breathless; he was barely two or three centuries old, how could he be anything but an infant? wasn’t this all ridiculous, some of them hissed, being cowed and threatened by a child. but no—it was clear when i came face to face with him for the first time, in the shadow of the ships intruding in uraga harbour; tall and strong and already a man, forged in steel and gunpowder.’
