It doesn’t have to be exclusively drinking per say, but take note of every time…
A character winks
A character sparkles
A character puffs air out of their mouth/ nose
You’re not confused, that is me.

Enjoyment, what’s that? I watch anime while I work out, does that count?
I’m planning and conducting an extensive research project. Heads up. You guys might become my subjects of research in the second project I have to do this semester 😉
Only those who volunteer to participate, though. I need consent as if I’m going through a real ethics board lol.
Friend: How are you today?
Me:
I think you’re referring to the one that was animated, which
is from Volume 6.
However, there is another scene like this in World Stars [x].
Most of these can also be applied to other Germanics, but
for the purpose of this post I’ll only be focusing on the similarities between
Germany and Germania.
Emotional stuntedness
+ awkwardness
Both Germania and Germany are unable to smile.
Well, at least expressively and regularly.

Perverted trope
While I’m not exactly favourable of this, there’s still the
running joke that Germans are closet perverts.

Bridge between
nations: the organizer and ‘Mom of the group.’
Both bridge the gap between chaos and civility. In other
words, they organize those around them and keep them in line.
Ex: Germany demanding order at a world meeting vs Germania
making a snide comment when a meeting in Rome goes awry.

Ex: Both are adept planners.

Ex: Both have an Italian to look after. This often includes
calming the latter down after an emotional outburst.

Rome + Germania
Italy + Germany
There’s also the tendency for the Italian to be late.
Lastly, it’s obvious that they look pretty much identical
save for hair length.
Both brothers inherited the signature curl and a love for
women. Notice the positions of the curls and then compare them to Rome’s (i.e., one curl for each brother).

The split between them lies more with the expressions they
make.
Italy is the softer, more relaxed side of Rome, while Romano—while
also considerably vulnerable and soft—bears a more abrasive external shell; that is, when he’s not being a crybaby.
The best way to go about this is to just show comparisons.
Notice how each Italy brother uniquely adopted specific expressions from Rome
that tailor well to their respective personalities.

Tumblr: Hetalia is so cringey!
Meta Hetalia fans: Ironically makes cringey shit posts.
It’s not a stereotype, so I would boil it down to creator preference.
What’s more, Himaruya has confirmed that Brittania (England’s mother) was a tsundere.

*Just want to clarify that I made a mistake in the past, back when I first began posting last year. Brittania doesn’t have an official appearance. The women surrounded by Rome in the We’re Shipwrecked strip haven’t been given official statuses as characters. Since Rome was known to always be surrounded by beautiful women, that’s what they remain as.*
