Russia taking back Lithuania
after the Great Depression + America’s reaction as Lithuania calls out for him.
Canada crying when Seychelles
remembers him as a member of the G8.
Germany promising Italy that
he values their friendship by giving him a cross necklace.

The relief on France’s face
when he realizes that Jeanne d’Arc has been reborn into a happier life
ENGLAND: You’re still hung up
on those rubbish conspiracy theories, aren’t you?
AMERICA: Duh, they’re
interesting! There’s so much about the world that science can’t explain.
ENGLAND: Like us and why we exist?
AMERICA: Like…us…?
ENGLAND: I regret ever saying
anything.

Hi, I’m Ellawritesficssometimes. My username is a complete fallacy these past few months but that’s okay. I either update five fics at once or I don’t at all. Some people call it mental illness. I call it mental spontaneity :)))))
Link’s in the bio, but here ya go 😀
You’re not bothering me! I’m really sorry that I’ve been
absent on fanfiction. While a lot of this has to do with being so active on
tumblr, I’ve dealt with some really tough and heartbreaking personal things. It
was impossible to write for more than two hours because my mind was all over
the place.
All that really matters is that I’m out of the abusive
environment that I was in. I’ve taken these past three weeks to recharge and I’m
ready to start uploading again. I plan to write a warm-up Spamano one-shot
tomorrow. After that, you can expect to see more updates in the future. Thank
you so much for your interest 😀
Misconception:
She’s a ‘Plain Jane.’
Reality: Her
awareness that she’s ‘plain’ and doesn’t stand out in comparison to surrounding
countries is what adds more layers to her character [x].
Ex: She tries her
best to stand out.
Ex: If anything,
her and Luxembourg realizing how powerless they were 100 years ago makes her personality
more complex. It’s revealed that she was constantly at the mercy of other
nations. Any character that’s vulnerable and has weaknesses, flaws, and
insecurities are far from plain [x].
Misconception:
She’s weak
Reality: She’s endured a lot. Resilience is what makes her strong.
Ex: There was a
period where her and her older brother, Netherlands, had a rocky period in
their relationship.
Netherlands attempted to unite their kingdoms into one, but
she declared her independence instead. This incident is described as a fight by Netherlands’ bunny [x].
Ex: Her
personality isn’t only a stock sweet-type. She’s also noted to have quite the
temper; she becomes scary when she’s angry.
Misconception: She’s fake and ingenuine
Reality: She’s incredibly sweet and supportive.
Ex: When Spain buys new clothes for a young Romano at the cost
of wearing rags, Belgium pleads for him to get new clothes too.
Ex: She cheers on Romano as he attempts to lift up Spain [x].
Ex: Because they’re so familiar with each other and regardless
of the fact that she’s a girl, Romano gets nervous and will swear in front of
her [x]. He used to have a crush on her, after all.
Ex: She gets to share rare moments with Netherlands where he
reveals his softer side [x].
Bonus Facts:
Her smile is sometimes cat-like, a probable reference to the
annual Cat Festival held in Ypres.
Given that Hima bases a lot of the physical traits of the
nations on population statistics, Belgium has large breasts [x].
She’s very serious about her waffles and will make a sour
face if she eats a foreign recreation of the treat.
All in all, even though Belgium doesn’t appear very often in
the manga, she still has a unique and distinct personality. Yes, she’s long due
for further character development, but she’s
not plain.
Me: I’m here for you if you need me.
Friend: Thanks, I’ll keep that in mind!
Friend: You don’t look so good. Do you want to talk about it?
Also me: :))))
It says that on the
wikipage, but if you go to the direct source, it’s different. The translation is noted to be rough, but the distinction is nonetheless made very clear [x].
Netherlands and Belgium are the ones that are
siblings.
Luxembourg refers to
France, Spain, Netherlands, and Belgium as big brother and sister respectively
as terms of endearment.
This is a common trope in
the series, although it often causes a lot of confusion because it’s taken
literally.
It doesn’t help that the
trio was once referred to as sworn siblings. [x]
Although, if you go on
the above piece of information, it seems to be conveying a bond similar to siblings. It’s not uncommon
for close friends to consider themselves siblings – in this case, it would be
Luxembourg due to his close proximity.
Just to give more
examples of this trope, France is referred to as a big brother type/ big
brother of the world.
Hungary is referred to
as an older sister.
And so is Belgium.
I’m working on a larger
post that will go into more detail about the brother/sister figures and relations,
but it’s going to take some time.
May I pick the lovely Belgium?
She’s pretty great if you ask me and totally not plain, contrary to what she and fanon claim.
Mischaracterization post on Belgium coming up tonight!
I don’t know, I’m pretty boring tbh. I have considered going on video chat for a Hetalia discord or something. I wouldn’t mind doing that 🙂
