Regarding the origins of nations and their family ties, to be honest I think we may be overthinking some things occasionally. Hetalia definitely has a lot of thought put into it (to varying degrees) but the thing is damn over 10 years old. The stories in Hetalia and its world are built as it runs, and it had/has been constantly changing and retconning stuff. Some things may have been changed or forgotten for good so who knows how much things are still theory supporting material. (part 1)

(Part 2) And maybe this is a topic that Hima will never answer on purpose. Whether it is to keep it light hearted and funny, or to focus on creating newer content. Or perhaps he doesn’t think it really matters for the stories he wants to tell. That being said, it’s still weird, funny, and cool how several theories seem to make perfect sense. Figuring things out ourselves is also a lot of fun. 

Ella: I agree! Some things definitely go deeper than the surface level, and then there’s just parts that make you wonder why you ever joined the fandom. (Although, Nekotalia always cracks me up.) There are also things that will probably never require an explanation.

I’m leaning more towards: Hima is constantly changing or removing things to fit new plots. We see that a lot with deleted strips or contradictory material on his blog. He’s also very receptive to what we want as fans, and I just think that’s so cool.

It is fun, mostly because it disproves critical opinions of Hetalia on the basis of it being thoughtless.
