My American Oneshot Book

Headcanons 2

Basically another chapter of my personal headcanons about our America!

1. America is actually is a phenomenal singer with the widest vocal range of any nation. His lowest note he can sing COMFORTABLY is an A2 and the highest COMFORTABLE note is a C6. That makes his range a whooping 24 octaves. If he has to stretch his range he could go as low as an F2 and as high as an E6, which means he can almost sing the entire octave scale. He got like this because he has worked with many famous singers (like Freddie Mercury) and also has become the birthplace of MANY successful singers: Brendon Urie (D2 to C7), Axl Rose (F1 to B flat 6), and Tim Storms (who holds the world record for 'widest vocal range and his lowest note cannot even be heard by humans). 

(Also not 100% sure if I still completely understand the octave scale but I did look at multiple websites and watch three videos about it. If I got anything wrong please tell me, because even if this is a person headcanon I actually do want to be correct in terms of this because of my story 'Melodies of Memories')

2. America's favorite fruit is an apple. He has loved apples since the Netherlands made him an apple pie when he was a young colony. He loved the pie so much he made them constantly to the point where it became an American staple. He apologized to Ted for stealing his thing, but the elder nation pointed out that his Dutch version was different and that American apple pie is just as good. America began to cook and bake with apples often after that, loving the taste of the tarty/sweet fruit.

3. America has an INHUMANE spice tolerance. He invited all the nations to a sleepover once, where they all played games and ate a lot of snacks. But then Prussia decided to run to the nearest market and came back with two plastic bags filled with Carolina Reapers. America chuckled as he, Prussia, Denmark, Mexico, Brazil, Spain, India, Thailand, Australia, Portugal, Madagascar, Peru, and the Philippines sat at the table. The challenge: eat as many reapers as you could. Peru and Australia tapped out at two. Brazil, Spain, Portugal, and Denmark tapped out at four. Prussia, India, Madagascar, and the Philippines tapped out at six. That only left Mexico, Thailand, and America. The three of them continued for ten minutes before the other two nations tapped out at ten, while America finally tapped out sixteen. Granted though, he did chug five glasses of milk and scoffed down a pint of ice cream afterward.

4. America's favorite sport is none other than American football! I mean, he invented the sport! Every time he's been at different colleges, he has played for their personal football teams. One time, he and England had gotten into an argument since both Scotland and England said that 'America football is the rugby for pussies' That snapped America in two. At the time he was secretly going to Michigan University and was the star player for the Michigan Wolverines. So, he invited all the nations to their game against one of the school's biggest rivals: the Ohio State Buckeyes. All the nations gladly accepted the invite and went to Michigan Stadium, where the game would be taking place. They were stunned to see that EVERY seat in the venue was filled. They wondered where Alfred was. Needless to say, they were very shocked to see him run out onto the large field in a uniform. He winked at them as they began to play. As soon as they say a bear-sized man charge and tackle America to the ground, England and Scotland never insulted American football again.

5. America is a great dancer! He can dance anything! Tap to tango! Ballet to ballroom! Hip-hop to Hoedown Showdown! Salsa to Square dancing! However, his favorite types of dancing are ballet, belly dancing, and pole dancing. He does ballet the most to keep his flexibility at tops, but when he and Ivan are in the bedroom the other two dances come to the forefront. America has become notorious at parties for getting into dance battles with other partiers. He always leaves the crowd aroused and craving more.

6. America can use any weapon. America was around before guns, much like the other nations. He was partially raised by Native America and Vinland, so he's actually a star with a bow. But, what is most surprising is how he is with a battleax. His skills can put Spain and Denmark to shame, the same goes for his swordsmanship skills with England and France. America can really make anything a weapon, even a mere stick has potential if America gets his hands on it. He also learned Asain methods of fighting like karate and judo. 

7. America prefers sweet to savory. While he does like burgers, chips, fries, and pizza he is just as much as a sucker for something sugary. He likes ice cream, milkshakes, and chocolate a lot. Some might argue his love for chocolate easily rivals Belgium's, France's, Sweden's, and Switzerland's. The said four nations always get him boxes of their famous chocolates for his birthday, as does Italy, Spain, and Germany. Many nations are aware of his huge sweet tooth, which is why they don't keep many sweets when he visits. They know they'll be devoured within five minutes.

8. America is actually a lot like England in terms of behavior and mannerisms. This was because when England found him, he conditioned Alfred to be like a classic British gentleman. This is why America crosses his legs when he sits, has pretty amazing posture, and reads a lot of novels. He also does drink hot tea, but only if it has sugar or honey in it. America also picked up England's famous 'Kirkland smirk' which all the UK members adorn. America only uses it though when he's being sassy or extremely coy.

9. America loves animals to the point where they literally attack him for attention. Native American magic helps with this. (Also I've written a oneshot already based on this from another headcanon book. I always thought America would be good with animals). Not everybody knows this, but Australia was the first to find out. They were walking in the outback when a Stimson's python wrapped itself around America's body and tickled his cheek. Alfred laughed and pet the snake on the neck when he felt spikes puncture his leg. He yelped in pain and the two looked down to see a thorny devil (yes that is an animal) nuzzling America's calf. They then both heard a lard bark/yelp noise and saw a dingo running right at them. It took five people to detach all the different animals from the American safely.

10. America runs marathons. America, despite popular belief, is actually very active. He is an avid runner and does it a lot when he stressed. He used to run in marathons across the world but stopped after he and Prussia ran in the Boston Marathon during the bombing. He and Prussia were nearly at the finish line when the first bomb went off. America then took Prussia to the ground as the second bomb blew up right next to them. America received many wounded to his back, legs, and head when scraps of metal flew into him. Prussia was mortified and immediately tried to wake Alfred up. But he couldn't, Alfred was in a coma for two weeks because of his injuries. Prussia refused to leave his side until he woke.
