‘But big brother don’t you always say you don’t
want to see me at all?’this. I do wonder if Himaruya will ever make Romano
realize the weight of his words. I’m sure deep down he doesn’t mean any harm
with them,but they surely leave a scar.
I think that’s
the whole point. Romano doesn’t realize the impact of how mean and vicious he
can be to Veneziano. Veneziano’s also a very sensitive person, so it doesn’t
help. Everyone has their limits
The fact that Romano’s shocked by this is most
telling for me [x].
Countries such as England, Spain, Netherlands,
Portugal, America, and France did overseas trading but weren’t pirates.
While there is a fan request where Himaruya depicts
England and Spain as pirates for fun, it’s important to remember the negative
implications of the word [x].
Ex: France knew the
real Captain Hook and warns Seychelles of him [x].
On the other hand, there is one strip that depicts
an unknown African nation as a pirate (in this case, they actually personified
a band of pirates in the region) [x].
I’ve done a post on religion if you’d like to check
it out. It’s listed in my directory under Characterization in Hetalia [x].
The basic gist is that religion and the belief in
God still remains because there is an actual God in Hetalia. Whether they have faith in God depends on the individual and what they’ve experienced.
Well, all episodes are based on the comics!
Right now, the first thing that comes to mind is America and Canada’s series of
arcs in world stars.
(He doesn’t have a rifle as a child in the growth spurt strip: “England dreaming of long days passed, Vol 3).
There is this panel of child America gripping onto a rifle, though [x].
I’m just
going to start by saying that I don’t make any canon conclusions without basing
it on something in the manga/ character notes provided. As such, what you
mention would fall under headcanon territory.
The part about America clutching guns is
depicted in canon but the leap to him viewing guns as a safety net and this
being reflected in his gun culture today doesn’t draw on canon material. For
me, a conclusion has to tie two or more pieces of canon material together rather than
using one piece to make a speculation where there aren’t any definitive links.
I know this model is nitpicky, but I’m very
stringent when it comes to forming and supporting an argument ^^
However, your headcanon wouldn’t be entirely
impossible. It actually draws on a similar structure in logic to what we’ve
seen with America before!
Ex: America’s tendency to mass produce is a
reflection of the trauma he experienced as a child in that he didn’t possess
many belongings.
So, it’s not impossible, but the link hasn’t
been made in canon yet.
