Ahhhh so lovely this is the best.

AND SINCE YOU INVITED ME TO...

Tell me about Denmark and Norway's relationship up until 1536 or after if you want I have no bias at all.

Did he view Norway as a brother? When did his feelings change? How did he react when his feelings changed?

WOW STOP PICKING THESE-

Okay. Okay. Well.

Okay.

Luckily for you I have bias as well!

I have always pictured Denmark as, basically, loving Sweden more. From when they were kids, I mean. As a brother. They were both born in Skåne, they're the same age, they're really very much alike in so many ways, and honestly, they've both been kind of obsessed with one-upping and competing and just one another in general for most of their lives. I think Denmark met Sweden when they were both very young and said "great, now we're brothers! By the way, I'm the older brother!", and that was pretty much the end of it. I think he met Norway shortly after and of course Norway was instantly family as well and instantly awesome, but it was more Denmark and Sweden (with Norway). And Norway probably was totally fine with that because let's face it, Nor isn't exactly an extrovert. And Norway had wandering around to do and islands to settle
