Chapter update! Throwing in some backstory this time.
Okay so Sweden and Finland are gone for the week.
It’s up to Denmark and Norway to babysit Sealand and Ladonia.
How wild would the week be?
Is it disastrous? Chaotic?
Or would it actually be a huge success?
How good do you imagine DenNor is with kids?
Do they argue a lot about things they should do with them?
Or like are there some kind of power couple that instantly kill it with everything they do?
And how’s Iceland reacting to this? Is he impressed or is he more disappointed than he thought he would be?
Ohhh what a fun scenario! Thank you for the ask! 🥰
It would start as a complete disaster but by then end of the week the kids don't want to go back home 💖 (okay maybe they do, but they had a lot of fun nontheless)
I think they would have a rough start into the week because Denmark and Norway think they're doing great. They know exactly what to do and they usually get along with the kids. But that's only when they're spending half a day with them, so naturally they are a LITTLE overtaken by how much work babysitting actually is.
The first day ends with exhausted kids falling asleep in front of the tv and (after they carried the kids to bed) with Denmark and Norway doing exactly the same. 😴
The next day starts way too early for Norway (Denmark doesn't really mind) with Sealand and Ladonia deciding to repeatedly let their toy cars clatter down the stairs from the first floor past the living room where their caretakers unvoluntarily spent the night and right into the kitchen. The look Norway shoots Denmark before getting up and heading for the kitchen already says everything there could be to say. 😑 A few minutes later he pours himself the first coffee of the day. ☕️
Despite the lack of sleep for Norway and the fact that Denmark spends more time playing and being a child himself and than looking after their friends' kids the day turns out surprisingly well. 👀 Yes, the house is.. untidy, to put it nicely. Yes, Norway's cooking skills didn't allow for the healthy dinner Sweden and Finland would probably want for their kids. Yes, Denmark once again let himself be talked into giving the kids more sweets than they should have - ending in another sugar rush. But the day went a lot better than the first one and even though Sealand and Ladonia can be real menaces, it's not kids vs. adults anymore. It's all of them slowly growing into a family. 💕
Time goes by fast and after spending almost the entirety of the next day building cool lego stuff with uncle denmark, the kids are basically glued onto him. Which Norway adores, don't get him wrong, but the thought of having to occupy them and keep them away from the kitchen while it's Denmark's turn to make dinner is.. intimidating.
The kids see Denmark as the fun parent (well, uncle actually) who lets them stay up late to build complex lego stuff and Norway as the strict one who tells them to eat their veggies and take a bath so all three of them aren’t too stoked about having to spend the afternoon together without Denmark.
But Nor sees it as his chance to build a deeper connection with Sealand and Ladonia. He shows them his atelier in the basement where he usually meets up with the magic trio to brew potions and try new spells and of course they love it! 🔮✨ By the time Denmark calls them for dinner the kids are disappointed that they have to go back upstairs and cling to Norway until he promises to show them some more magic stuff the next day, making him almost tear up cause Nor wouldn’t even admit it to himself, but he did feel a little jealous of how much the kids adored Denmark. 🥺💖
It’s been a few days for the kids without their parents and naturally they start to miss them. Unfortunately at 1am and Sealand isn’t exactly suited to comfort his brother when he’s feeling a little homesick himself.. Norway is surprised to find the kids waking him up at 1am and not Denmark. He’s not exactly suited for the situation, but he’s trying his best. Gets up to make them all some hot chocolate and brings their pillows and blankets to the living room so they can watch a nice movie and sleep there. 🥰 I don’t think I have to mention that Denmark’s heart is overflowing with fondness after finding Norway asleep on the sofa with the kids in his arms the next morning (and he definitely took a picture for Sweden and Finland’s family photo album)
The week is almost over and, as a surprise for Sealand and Ladonia, Denmark and Norway take them to the zoo on their last day together. Iceland pretends that he doesn’t want to but joins them as well and he has to admit he’s impressed how good Den and Nor are at handling not one but two VERY lively kids. At the end of the day, even Ice’s usually gloomy mood has turned into a bright one when he’s sitting in the petting zoo with the kids, surrounded by bunnies and goats. 😇
tl;dr: The week starts as kids vs. adults and ends in a new found family. Sweden and Finland are surprised to find Sealand and Ladonia asking them if they can stay at uncle Nor and uncle Den’s house a few days more. 🥰
trying to get this years dennor week up and running! if youre interested in participating, pls fill out the form so we can find the best time to run it :D
Norway: I think we should try a Dust Buster.
Denmark: Is that the one where you're on all fours and then I-
Norway: No dumbass! It's a hand held vacuum! This place is dusty all the time!
Denmark: Ooohhhhhhh.... Well can we still do the one where you get on top-
Iceland: I WILL LITERALLY DUST AND SWEEP EVERY DAY IF YOU NEVER HAVE THIS CONVERSATION ABOVE A WHISPER EVER AGAIN
Do you guys like spiders?
With centuries they’ve gotten used to the presence of spiders in their lives, but they all aren’t extremely fond of them. Denmark doesn’t have a problem with spiders, he usually just ignores them because what can he do? Kill it? And have the corpse lying on the floor? He’d rather leave them alone until Norway comes by and throws them out of the window. And Norway doesn’t tolerate their presence indoors because they disgust him, at times he uses verbal abuse towards them.
Iceland - well, he wasn’t lying that much, he just gets spooked easily.
"And the world turned to dust, but I have you, and that's all that matters."
"Maybe I wouldn't feel so alone if it weren't for you, but maybe I would've never found anyone in the first place."
"If I know you're out there somewhere that's all that's important, and if there's a thousand different you's and they're all a shade of red but none of them are quite you, that's okay, because I know I'll find you eventually."
and best of all
"Romania is that cool uncle you never had Norway is that distant older brother you also never had England is the high expectations dad you never had either"

Chapter three!
Mise en Scène - Chapter 12
https://archiveofourown.org/works/36932197/chapters/97987071
Summary:
As a screenwriter, Lukas wants to tell the truth about the world; that it's messy, unkind, and complicated. He's also desperate for a way out of the home situation he's stuck in. As a director, Mathias is trying to take back control of the life he lost sight of two years ago. He's looking for an escape from the messy, unkind, and complicated world that Lukas is so adamant on recreating.
As members of the same film group, they both have their own ideas and ambitions when it comes to making their new movie, and neither one of them are particularly interested in letting the other get in their way.

Here we are with another update!
Sketch. Considering joining Twitter or becoming an nsfw artist to improve my art ://
adding to the heta onlyfans posts cause I just saw a post on insta about Denmark doing live streams on onlyfans where he builds lego stuff in lingerie and YES I CAN SEE THAT HAPPENING
I thought I'd make everyone's lives a little more bearable since I'm posting so much about hockey and I turned it into a short blurb. I tried to keep this under 1000 words and came out at 938 so it still counts.
Suffer with me.

It was supposed to be a friendly game, something to stop the arguments during the world meetings. But Norway knew it wouldn't be. They took their sport too seriously. He sits on a log, legs crossed in front of him, as he inspects his nails boredly. "Aren't you going to play?" Iceland asks him skeptically.
"No," Norway answers in an indifferent tone. "I'm here to watch ass, not fall on my own."
Iceland rolls his eyes as he finishes tying his skates and goes to the edge of the lake. He's playing as one of three referees for the game. It's a three-on-three game, mostly just because no one really wants to get involved in the rivalry. America, Canada, and Russia on one team against Finland, Denmark, and Sweden. Norway isn't sure that Denmark is the best choice, but he's just here to watch. Like hell he's going to get in Finland's way -- or worse, have to play instead.
Iceland takes his place across from Belarus, and Poland gets ready for the face-off between Canada and Finland. It's Russia and Sweden in net, Denmark and America as defensemen. No one on the ice looks like they intend this to be a friendly game. "Ready to get your ass kicked?" Canada asks, glancing up at Finland.
"Eat ice," Finland replies, focused on his stick.
Poland drops the puck and the game goes into full swing. Watching from the sidelines, Norway follows the puck from one side of the ice to the other. He's not the only spectator. Germany and Prussia are on the other side, and Spain has dragged Austria along to see what the big deal is. At first, the game is almost boring -- no one is scoring, everyone is playing nice. And then Finland gets called for high sticking. "What are you talking about?" he tries to argue as Iceland attempts to bully him to the edge of the lake to sit by Norway. "That's crazy!"
"Finland, you hit America in the face with your stick while making eye contact with him," Iceland informs him, unimpressed. "That is definitely high sticking. And that's a two minute penalty."
Swearing in a mix of about three languages, Finland sits beside Norway, tapping his stick against the ground in frustration. Norway moves further down the log to make sure he doesn't accidentally get hit. Now is the time to see how well Denmark can hold up against Canada and America, and no one is surprised when they make a goal within the first minute. Sweden looks more than a little peeved, though. Finland turns to Norway and, through gritted teeth, asks, "Are you sure you don't want to play?"
Norway doesn't look over at him. "I'm sure. I'm perfectly fine here, watching."
Grumbling to himself, Finland turns back to the game, counting down the seconds. Belarus barely manages to wave him back in before he's on the ice again. In retaliation, within five minutes, he manages to get the puck past Russia and evens the game out. Things get more intense, and Norway can hear Austria getting more interested and excited, making Spain laugh. The next penalty is on Canada, who trips Denmark, and the game is stalled for a solid three minutes while he argues with Iceland and Poland over the call before he finally hauls himself off the ice.
America manages to hold his own, but gets a penalty for hooking shortly after Canada gets back on the ice and another argument ensues. If there were more players, Poland probably would have pulled Canada for all the arguing he's doing. Finland, picking himself back up, looks nothing short of smug. If there's one thing that he's good at when it comes to this game, it's definitely riling everyone else up so they make mistakes. America throws his stick aside when Denmark makes a goal.
The highlight of the game isn't when Finland and Canada start throwing punches (because that felt inevitable), but when Sweden and Russia both get into it in center ice after Finland ended up sprawled in the net behind Russia. There's a little bit of confusion, and then Denmark and America end up serving the penalties for their goalies, both of them more than a little annoyed. They only take a break halfway through the game, in which both Finland and Canada can be clearly heard venting all their frustrations. When they get back on, America manages to tie the game. "Who's going to win, do you think?" Spain asks Norway.
Without looking up, Norway replies, "Not my idiots." He can already see it -- Finland is getting more frustrated and Denmark is floundering a bit. The mistakes that happened in the next half were predictable to Norway. And, just as he'd expected, those mistakes cost them the game. Although, Sweden did an amazing job compensating for his teammates and so, despite getting an impressive 20 shots on goal (that Norway counted), Canada only got one last goal in to take the lead.
By the time the game ends, Poland looks as though he'd like to stop arguing and actually punch someone, and Iceland skates off in a huff. Oh, it's going to be a long night of Finland breaking down the game and talking about how unfair the game had gone, with Sweden nodding his approval. Denmark will be hidden away somewhere, sulking, and dealing with that will be fun, too. Norway grimaces as he watches Canada, America, and Russia celebrate while Finland attempts to break the ice with his stick.
There's no such thing as a friendly game of hockey between Canada and Finland.
Besties, send me Norway or Romania or Belarus Headcanons pls
Need the inspo to write this goshdarn horror
The black and white version of the Nor chibi head, in case anyone wanted to color it! (I know my friend jadeshui joked about using this as coloring practice, so here it is XD)
Not the most historical question in the world, but do you have any thoughts on the kinds of pets, if any, Norway might have kept throughout history?
I always love answering your questions, Random 🥰
I feel like this is a boring answer though, but I think Norway would probably had a cat at some point, and a dog. Throughout history, most Norwegians were traditionally farmers, and if you were a coastal farmer it's very likely you were a seasonal fisherman as well. I imagine Norway would have had a small piece of land himself where he'd keep one cow and maybe a horse and a few goats - but those aren't really pets.
Cats were important from the old Norse times - I'm sure many have heard about Freya's wagon being pulled by them - and cats are also known for being great companions at sea, keeping the ship free of rats etc. So, Norway would definitely have had a cat, Norwegian Forest Cat, travelling the seas with him 🐈
Dogs are so incredibly popular in Norway, I think almost everyone has a dog or have had one at some point. It seems a necessity to have a good guard dog for the small farm, who be a huge help when going hunting as well. It might be because I'm from a small village, but the most common dog breeds are hunting dogs, and the Norwegian Elk Hound is of course the best companion 🐕
I also think it'd be cute for him to have had an almost tame red squirrel at some point, as I know of a person who had that at some point. Norway seems like a person to be very in-tune with animals in general though, but perhaps seek more friendly interactions than he is keen on keeping a pet?
Norway’s road to wealth
During the 60s, the Danish government gave a part of their territorial sea to Norway in celebration of their constitutional anniversary. Later, the Norwegians found a huge amount of oil lying under that part of the sea. Denmark must be questioning his mind rn
