u'know how in the new hetalia chapters, bulgaria is like "we can't do anything about *insert sad thing* lets get drunk!"
anyone wondering where it started from? well I have an idea
ottoman times, after the first tarnovo uprising is brutally suppressed by ottoman authorities. bulgaria, beaten up and bloody, is lying down next to some pillows. turkey helps him sit up and lean on the pillows.
'look dude I cannot control what my army does or what the sultan decides I can't do anything about these things but I can help u feel better here drink this u'll feel better the pain will be gone' he says while handing him over a glass of r̶a̶k̶i̶j̶a̶ r̶a̶k̶i̶y̶a̶ r̶a̶k̶i̶a̶ r̶a̶k̶ı̶ HIGHLY ALCOHOLIC BALKAN BEVERAGE
bulgaria takes a gulp and gags, scrunching his face up.
'look if you wanna feel happy and forget about the pain and the powerlessness u gotta drink the entire thing'
bulgaria forces himself to drink the entire glass and they chat for a while (basically turkey is telling him lame jokes to distract him from how terrible everything in the empire is). bulgaria gets kinda lively... and then tired, queasy and sleepy.
'better?'
'beffur-' *proceeds to throw up all over turkey*
