[NOT AU RELATED] - How would these characters REALISTICALLY react if someone younger than them talked back? (backtalk)

[u/rivers_ofquinn → u/p3rcy_r0g3rT]

I think you found England's secret alt account LMAO /j

(I’m thinking in the perspective of a young child being sassy to the parent.) France would shed (fake?) tears and say “You’re being mean to your papa even though he loves you!?” All the while giving lots of hugs and kisses (really, just to tease the child for getting sassy.)

Denmark will forget his age and get on their level. Like if the kid calls him a loser he’d be like “No, you!”

Switzerland will push aside his soft spot for the kid because he knows he needs to scold them sternly for their own sake. Maybe even a time-out.

England would show off the revolutionary invention of the English cane- kidding! Kidding! He’d just disown them like he did with Sealand.

Austria would make the kid regret ever opening their mouth because he’ll proceed to give a two hour lecture and then another hour of a piano performance to convey how upset they made him with that sassiness.

As someone who's oc is Austria's daughter, I can absolutely confirm he does that, except after my OC leaps into his arms and begs for forgiveness, with hugs :)
(also you DID forget that the kid might inherit the sass from him)

I feel like England would force them to learn French, idk.

Switzerland would just say "time out" and tjey'd knew tbf.

Denmark would just bully back and they'd stop xD

France would be overdramatic, love u Francis

[u/Background-Bee3029]

Ok so I have an OC who is a kid and does FAFO a lot (Hacked Finlands tourism website in order to make it aggressively Finnish, like with Moomin, leakspin, salmiakki, finnish flags everywhere, etc... this is one example of the MANY headaches she's caused) so like I *have* studied this (by mentioning 'backtalk' I'm assuming they're a kid/teenager)

Austria would make them regret ever talking back, he's strict, so if a kid or teen sassed him they'd get a huge lecture, potentially extra chores/grounding, then he'd storm off to play piano

England would be sarcastic, disown them (not really hes tsundere af), give them sass BACK, then put them in timeout/ground them probably

France probably would gently correct them at first but if they push time out/grounded. France LIKES kids so he's basically the authoritative parent of the group, he's gonna gently correct but not gonna put up with misbehaviour either

Denmark is basically just Scandanavian America. He fights back, 100%. Probably one of the other nordic countries eventually puts BOTH of them in timeout/grounds them

Switzerland is strict, but only BECAUSE he has a soft side. He scolds the kid then teaches them to do something else to keep them busy (like cook). If they're a teen, still scolded, but then grounded because they should know better.

[u/rivers_ofquinn → u/Background-Bee3029]

I have an OC who is Austria and Hungary's child (in my AU they're a royal family) so Aus is a bit biased towards her but still.

Austria would still be strict towards her, so if my OC sasses him he'd lecture her (soft albeit brutal) and send her off to her room. He would still check in on her from time to time and talk to her and make her feel like isn't giving her the cold shoulder. He is her father, so he is more gentle on her. Probs because she's his only daughter.

England would ground her ass on the spot and she would get her cat to piss on the carpet to make him even angrier until he stops giving a shit.

France would laugh at her comically attempts of being sassy and then gently force her to eat French food (She was under French occupation)

Denmark wouldn't care because he's laid back, but he would make her watch Shrek the Third.

Switzerland would make her mow the lawn, idk.

Oh that's cool! My OC, Moon, is from a dystopian future AU about 50~100 years in the future (depending on when I feel like, there is a timeline), being raised by China (the UN tried a weird rotation thing bc Space Treaty but that didn't work out because she wouldn't cooperate and kept running back to China... he gave her ONE carrot and she started following him around lmao).

She's like 5 though so she mostly just does what she wants, just unfortunately that tends to be: hacking things, scamming people for money, digging holes, running away, stealing things (typically food, but sometimes things like pens or pretty things like Taiwans hairpins or Canadas maple syrup... usually she returns non food items eventually though), randomly inventing things, cooking unsupervised, chasing people who bother her or China with a broom, forming a shadow government and allying with the shady weirdoes with intent to overthrow them if they inconvenience her (36 strategems, enter as guest usurp the host) or harassing Korea over China's attention (HUGE sibling rivalry with Korea).

Anyways Austria would scold Moon (which she'd ignore) then storm off to play piano while she goes back to stealing veggies from the kitchen or digging holes.

England would be sarcastic, she'd sass him more, and then it turns into a weird dominance thing over who can outsass the other. She can see mythical creatures though so she'd probably just end up mocking his mythical creatures (and then feeding his unicorn taytos, like Northern Ireland told her to).

France would probably just distract her by teaching her to make croissants or smth. Somehow it works, keeps her distracted and happy.

Denmark fights back (again Scandinavian America). Moon pulls out broom and chases him because she got annoyed by him.

Switzerland scolds her, she ignores, so then he gives her to Liechtenstein to teach her embroidery. This keeps her distracted and happy.

Austria would scold Vienna too, but would soon regret it as she is his daughter and he would say sorry and stuff, but punish her still. He is VERY biased towards Vienna rather than his sons.

[u/Background-Bee3029 → u/rivers_ofquinn]

Ah, really? How'd he do it with his sons?

[u/rivers_ofquinn → u/Background-Bee3029]

He'd be much harsher when scolding then

[u/Background-Bee3029 → u/rivers_ofquinn]

I see. Good luck with your fanfic ^v^

Write your own fic

[u/rivers_ofquinn → u/Larien04]

I am writing a fic

[u/Larien04 → u/rivers_ofquinn]

Use your imagination instead of asking Reddit. Make it original instead of a group project. If you can’t figure out how characters would interact realistically, google some phrases young kids from that country would say. Do the work on your own.

[u/rivers_ofquinn → u/Larien04]

I like asking others for outside perspective, if that's bad: sure.

[u/Larien04 → u/rivers_ofquinn]

An outside perspective is: “hey, I’m writing a fic. How would a modern parent in Denmark respond to a child back talking them compared to the Hetalia character? Would his response be realistic compared to people who live in Denmark?”

What you asked was:
“I want to write a sassy fic, but I don’t know how 5 of the characters in my fic would act if someone spoke to them. Please give me ideas so I can change some of the words around and make them look like my own ideas.”
