Sometimes even a warrior starts shaking
(…I’ll leave things at this point)

image

All of the maps will someday
be in these hands…
I’ll laugh as I run through

That’s right, it’s not because I’m weak
It’s because I’m too strong

Sorry but I’m slightly confused. Why is it do you think that Prussia would have forgotten about his previous existences if he didn’t have his diaries?

There are a
few reasons.

1)  Personality Change = Loss of Memory

It’s stated in chapter 1 of world stars that upon gaining a new title,
nations can also undergo a personality change.

image

Because your personality, as in how you interact with others and the
world, is very much rooted in experience [memories], this implies that gaining
a new title causes the nation to lose all memories from their previous
existence.

In other theories, this is what I
use to explain the overwhelming evidence that Germany is suffering from amnesia
and doesn’t remember his past existence as Holy Rome.

Basically, how I read the panel is that the personality change is
sudden; it happens spontaneously. In that case, there wouldn’t be new
experiences to account for this change.

2)  Prussia’s canonically undergone
several title changes.

image
image

If the above rule applies, then he should have
eventually forgotten about these previous existences. That is, unless he had
access to something that could trigger his memory…

3) The nations’ memories aren’t
perfect. 

Prussia openly admits to recording diaries to avoid
forgetting things.

image

Notice again how Hima places emphasis on the fact that Prussia’s had
several existences. 

image

Why would he do that in a strip that revolves around memory
if it wasn’t to hint at the fact that Prussia is actively striving to maintain
memories of his past?

image

Very random question I guess, but do you prefer to be referred to as Ariella or Ella? Or something else entirely? (explanation behind this: you usually tag yourself as ‘ella’, but you have ‘ariella’ in the blog description and you actually tagged yourself like that in one of your last memes. And this is just to call you with the name you’re most comfortable with in the future…)

I’m fine with both fam. Ella was created as an online nickname, while I go as Ariella in person. You could literally call me bitch nugget and I’d still be happy that you remembered my existence.

image

I want to begin by pointing out that I’m simply presenting
canon information. That is, what we’ve seen
about religion in the strips.

Just because one nation follows the dominant religion of their
people doesn’t necessarily mean that they don’t hold their own beliefs or can’t
engage in the religious practices of other groups amongst their citizenry – all
I’m saying is that the latter point hasn’t been demonstrated in the series.

It’s also important to mention that the nations are
stereotypical personifications – they’re not characterized for specificity.

With all that in mind, religion in Hetalia encompasses a
generalized population rule. Similar to how they’re affected by the demographic
statistics of their citizens (e.g., their weight, income, behavioural habits),
the nations have also historically abided by the most dominant religion in
their country.

The Clergy as a ‘Boss’: 

Since the Church used to be the Head of State, they would
have also been the respective personification’s boss.

Ex: We saw this with England, who spent some time on the run
from a Bishop who ordered him to cut his hair.

image

The Personification as a Religious Entity:

Ex: Prussia first emerged as a Catholic religious order.

image

As a reflection of his people and their beliefs, he was
therefore extremely religious.

image

Ex: There’s also Knights Templar, who likewise represented
a Catholic religious order.

image

War:  

The Polish-Swedish wars are a good example of how the
different religious orientations of the two countries are reflected in their personifications.

image
image

Conversion: 

As mentioned above, the nations only follow a religion if it’s
prevalent within their population.

Ex: During the year 1000 [the Christian Millennium Apocalypse),
France and England truly believed that the world was going to end.

France feared going to hell. Because he thought they were both
going to die anyway, England fulfilled France’s last wish and pretended to be
conquered by him (ironic, considering that the Norman Conquest wasn’t that far
in the future).

image

Meanwhile, Hungary who had just converted to Christianity
that year, hadn’t yet acquired the religious beliefs that would have also made
her fearful of the so-called apocalypse.

image

Ex: There’s also this beautiful gem of a scene where Iceland’s
converted to Christianity. Note again how this happens only because his people
are being converted.

image
image

There is a Real God in Canon Verse:

Ex: Despite being a secular state in modern times, France
still believes in God. This is seen in his encounter with Lisa, Jeanne d’Arc’s
reincarnate.

image

Ex: Ancient Rome ties up God so that he’s able to leave Heaven and visit Veneziano.

image
image

Ex: God visits Hungary in her dreams and orders her to hit
France with her frying pan.

image

Ex: God visits Estonia in his dreams and fulfills his
fantasy to be surrounded by girls.

image

Of course, this wouldn’t be a religion-based post without mentioning the Vatican. While he doesn’t have an official design and appearance, Hima does say what his personality would be like should he ever become canon.
