Finland Tribute

Okay. So I have to tell you why I made this beautifully quick thing.

People who knew me in high school know that we had this group with which we associated ourselves with hetalia characters. Pretty much from the start I was good ol' Canada. We chose our country based primarily on personality. It seemed to make sense: I had a weird tendency off feeling invisible, wich was followed by this sinking feeling that people would stop giving a shit if I dropped off the face of the earth. I didn't talk enough to be noticed in class. I was always soft-spoken and never wanted to bother people with my opinion. A lot of that had to do with not feeling like I had anything to say that was worth hearing; considering the people I hung out with I considered to be much better than me in a lot of respects. And even when I had something to say, it would hardly ever be heard. There's probably a myriad of other things that made me suitable for being Canada. But that was then, and that's a good bulk of why I felt how I did.

Some time around Junior year, a HELL of a lot changed that I've indirectly posted about on here So. Many. Times. It's not even funny. I don't need to get into that too much though. Not anymore. That's not why I'm making this post.

I guess I even brought that up because since then, I had learned more in the past 2 or 3 years alone than in my whoooooole life. And from experiencing new things, enduring hurt and attempting to understand other peoples' hurt, I had found myself becoming a different person entirely. . . okay, not entirely, but definitely enough to notice.

So by the time I got to college, I found myself as being more of a Finland than Canada. And for a while... I didn't know how accurate it was to associate myself with a part of one of my favorite OTP's since I'm single. To be associated with such a friendly badass though I'm such a pushover. So I mentally kept myself as Canada. And yes, there were some times during college in which I believed I would never be more than invisible, or forgettable, or not worth being in the presence of those who are better than me.

But within the past few weeks, I really don't know what exactly happened. But I've been feeling myself feeling more and more like I could actually be more of a Finny than Canada.

Hence the inspiration for my tribute here:
He's a badass when he wants to, though it's never really shown unless it's necessary. He's kind of a crybaby when things are falling apart. He can be cool and laid-back, but he's also so cheery sometimes that you expect flowers to pop up around 'im. He's considered the "wife" with the SuFin ship, and he does gets shy and embarrassed when talking about particularly his relationship with Su-san. Or according to him, lack thereof.
But also, Fin's a character who just seems to know who he is even though he is a follower. He doesn't like conflict, though he will engage if provoked.

I actually really admire this character as a whole and have actually felt myself worthy of associating myself with him recently.
(Now all I need is a "Su-san".)

I hope you all enjoy this pic and thank you / I'm sorry to those who actually read the description.
