I love what you said about White Flame! I don’t live in a very cold place, so I never thought of that. Although, I’m curious – what do you think of the part near the end where he describes the White Flame as sorrowfully wandering the frozen wasteland? Or was that a mistranslation?

Thank you! Tbh, the struggle was real to find a translation, so I used the most consistent lines translated and borrowed from a few other videos. I’m not really sure. I can just imagine Hima dropping this cryptic bomb of a 17-minute song on us and then cackling as he makes it near impossible to find the right translation of it. Well played sir, well played.

Is it kinda weird that I see America as this boy that is all super tough and like complex with alot of potential while at the same time I see his club penguin username being PU$$Y_DesTROYer6969? Just me? ok

It’s too late for this.

Can we have some derpy America?

Always.

Can you do an explanation on why America has super strength? I don’t think it was ever explained.

I can do a more thorough explanation later, but the shortened version is that he’s a literal SUPERPOWER in the international sphere. It’s a clever play on words. This includes his economic strength, as we know that when his economy surged when he was younger, he was suddenly able to lift a full-grown buffalo with ease.

Can we have some more Christmastalia please!

Ooh interesting! I’ve often headcanoned Austria to be very interested in and educated on the topic of psychology. I can actually see him having enough knowledge and skill to become a psychologist if he wanted to.

One thing I’d love to expand on is how this factors into sexuality! I’m going to refer to Austria’s sexuality within his (more or less) canon relationship with Hungary so I apologize if that breaks any shipper’s hearts.

So! When we’re talking about anal retentive personalities and erogenous zones, there’s also the topic of what makes the erogenous zone pleasurable to the person. The, uh, anus is the site of these sexual needs and thus, ahem, “elimination” is considered to be the form of release needed to satisfy the personality sexually.

And that’s kind of what I see Hungary functioning as for Austria, a form of release. We all know their relationship is built on the “Uptight Loves Wild” trope and we’ve seen that Austria allows himself to relax, i.e. let go, when he’s with Hungary.

Think back to the Hetaween event where Austria spends the whole night being dragged around by Hungary in a skirt even though he’s super embarrassed. Considering how Austria reacts to Germany in the latest Hetaween when they’re trying to decide on a costume for him, we know Austria is easily embarrassed when it comes to his appearance and is sensitive about it in general.

My point is that Austria would not just let himself be in a prolonged, humiliating situation… unless the person he’s with enables him to give up some of that control and get rid of all that tension.

Now this is all very gross and kind of silly but hey, I didn’t make it up, Freud did.

Also, would you be willing to make this into a series where you exam other Hetalia characters in the context of Freud’s stages? I know you have a lot of requests all the time so don’t feel pressured or anything, I just love psychology and talking about it is fun!
