random Fanfic illustrations for my own fanfic which I started and gave up so easily…… I didn’t even write these scenes yet or anything (expect the Lalli-Tuuri one) xD I just thought to do them, but who knows what I end up writing in the end IF I ever manage to continue.

“the Greek city-states were as keen on winning battles as the Romans were“
Okay I have no idea whether I drew her the right helmet and armour or not. I just typed in “ancient greek clothing.” (´･Д･)」
Thought this scene would be cute.

Q:SwissBel because Choclateers need to stick together!
Anonymous
Switzerland and Belgium are incredibly similar nations, and especially so since the 20th Century they’ve been particularly close. When Belgium’s independence was formally recognized in Europe, one of the provisions in the Treaty of London made sure Belgium remained neutral along with Switzerland, leading to a large Swiss outcry when Germany invaded during WW1. When King Leopold III of Belgium was exiled along with his family, they lived in Switzerland as well!
