Spain is now… just 3 years older, oops. He looks exactly the same. Its just 3 years to him.

You would think that suddenly being unable to go home despite being told he was going to get to go home would put a damper on his spirits but nah. He definitely had his fair share of curses for the producers but for the most part, he stayed in good spirits. He was also pretty convinced that being on the run was going to be 20 times easier than playing another game. God, guys, he is so awful at riddles and mysteries. He doesn’t even try, he’s just so bad at them. Put him in a situation where it’s just straight action though, and he’s in his element! He can fight, he can escape, he can help, guys, he’s got this.

Anyway, so no one is allowed to feel down around Spain. He will find a way to cheer everyone up. Cheer up charms, dumb jokes, hugs, lending an ear or shoulder, teaching them something to keep their minds off of things, telling dumb stories to distract them, etc. His dumb stories are really dumb. But he'd know when to be serious and buckle down when he really had to!

Okay, so he totally has a soft spot for the DKs. He’s a little awkward around Kanaya since they didn’t exactly get along very well before but he’d work hard to get her to like him more! Definitely try to prove himself around her by being super helpful since his selfishness before is what caused them to be tense. It’s also awkward around Kaoru and he absolutely has no idea why. When he finds out it’s because of the “I liked you when I thought you were a girl” comment, he felt pretty bad! He’d only just been teasing and didn’t expect Kaoru to be upset by it. He really does like Kaoru the way he is and he proves it by teasing Kaoru whenever he has a good opening. Spain still adores the hell out of Sonia. He’s also very protective of Lithuania… but not in an aggressive way! Like, he won’t fight for Lithuania (since he can do that for himself) but he’s always watching out to make sure he doesn’t work himself too hard.

He’d very gladly teach anyone anything he could. Cooking, fighting, cartography, paper flowers, Spanish, history, strategy... anything he can to help. He'd also be willing to learn from others but he's actually a very stubborn student so it takes him a little while to get some things.

As for how he got caught, he was probably doing something really reckless like charging into a situation without thinking it through all the way. He does it all the time to begin with because he thinks with his heart and not his head and while he'd gotten better at it, everyone probably knew it was bound to happen eventually if he was left on his own.

"everyone probably knew it was bound to happen eventually if he was left on his own" SPAIN....... kaoru and stiles shaking their heads sadly as kaoru forks over $5 bucks is my fav headcanon for that moment, god.

that said, kaoru definitely would have grown pretty close to spain in the time they had together after the misunderstandings were smoothed over, and probably would have grown to find his personality kind of like... soothing, in a sense. because he's seen spain at some pretty rough lows so it kind of strikes him that he can still work so hard to cheer everyone else up! it's probably something he admires.

also yes let's just solidify spain teaching kaoru how to fold paper flowers... i wanna say kaoru'd ask to learn guitar too if they ever got their hands on one! and would have probably started to learn spanish because WHY NOT. also the sword fighting yes good

It's true. If it he wasn't immortal he would be dead a hundred times over before now. HE HAD A GOOD RUN THO.

Kaoru do you want to know the low that is the Spanish Armada. Someone else probably mentioned it casually as a joke and he got vaguely annoyed and explained later while emphasizing he lost to the weather and not the English. Also the low that is the Civil War aka the canon point he thought he was from until he got his memories back after MM. Which, by the way, once he got his memories back, Spain's optimism and cheer would be 100% more genuine versus being kind of "this smile is hiding the pain insiiiiiide." Gosh he'd be 200 x more friendly and cheerful than he was in MM.

Yes to teaching flowers and if they could get a guitar or any string instrument, really, Spain would give a few lessons. While teaching Spanish, Kaoru also probably got stuck with Spain going on a rant about how it wasn't fair Japan decided to let Holland stay and kicked the Spanish out. Clearly, they're missing out. Oh, well, but Holland is a nice henchman.

HE DID good job spain... they'll just have to keep him like tied to a wall after they bust him back out, god.

omg tho now im just imagining everyone having to readjust to each other's personalities outside of the mm situation and kaoru just being like "I'M NOT SURE I CAN TOLERATE THIS MUCH FRIENDLY CHEER" but then it just grows on him. spain just grows on him gOD SPAIN.

excellent tho yes good, kaoru can try to teach spain a little japanese in return but it wouldn't be super helpful considering his speech would be really archaic... spain goes back knowing how to speak like he's from 1860s edo

Oh... I actually really like the idea of Kanaya being the one to tell Spain why Kaoru was so :/ around him and Spain is just like... totally shocked HE WAS JUST TEASING HE DIDN'T MEAN IT THAT WAY.

But yeah, he is really good for lending an ear and giving advice once in awhile but his strength is definitely in cheering people up. Listening is easy but he suffers from genuinely not Understanding. Despite everything, he's pretty rigid and traditional in his thinking so he just hits walls with things like ALIENS AND TROLLS, man. It would take a bit for him to adapt in a way that would be meaningful outside a survival context.

Ukraine will totally help with the cheering people up thing. Spain you are also adopted into the EE because nations.
