ST. NICK [ahou manga, 9p, aph]
-dusts off-
request: tufails, something Germany-centric
disclaimer: headcanon; out of season; I have not read hetalia updates for 5 months
I finished inking this last December, but it took me 5 months to get it web-ready. -face in hands- again if anyone has been missing my updates they all go on tumblr :,) I am still debating whether I should be less lazy and crosspost stuff!
APPENDIX
st nikolaus's day is december 6, and he visits on that day instead of the night of the 24th, with his servants:
Krampus = furry scary …thing, of pagan origin. austro/bavarian tradition, also appears in hungarian and czech/slovak christmases (? my source was wikipedia so I could be wrong) it is unclear if the krampus is st nikolaus's servant or his adversary. his main job is to punish naughty children with chains and birch switches.
Knecht Ruprecht = "Knight Rupert", slightly more normal-looking than the krampus (well.. at least he's human). also punishes naughty children. I tried to work him in but nah. Not unless I wanted to draw all of Germany's other brothers or something (hello Bavaria)
lots of krampuses for your viewing pleasure
