It’s true. Aside from the example you gave, there are many instances showing that he’s not fond of America.

Although, what’s interesting is that America’s pets (and other pets) are fond of Spain.
After Chibitalia, the Boss Spain’s control over Southern
Italy series, and the resolution achieved in Boss Spain doesn’t understand –
where Spain learns to accept and value Romano for who he is rather than holding
him to measuring rod equated with Veneziano’s traits and assets – Spain develops
a stronger bond with Romano.

LOL.
@yumegen746 Wow! Thank you so much! Angst? Yeah that sounds like my writing lmao. I’m always a sucker for a happy ending.
<3333
Y’all. He gets all uptight about this. M-A-T-H-E-W.
I met him on Tinder. Yes, his real name is Mathew lol. He says thank you 🙂
He doesn’t find it so hilarious. He sent me a heart on fb this morning and I replied with this. (I gave a heart afterwards lol).
I’ve gotten used to his “OMFG Ariella” replies.
Thank you, and I’m sorry to hear that. Hopefully things turn out better on your end.
I think it’s more to do with your second assertion. It’s not
that he’s not interested in them. He amicably interacts with them quite often
and will even do favors. However, they’re not super close either. They get
along, but you can still see historical rifts affecting their present relationships,
which is seen in their civil but not super close relationships in the manga.
(e.g., you still have the whole controversy and debate over Japan apologizing
for the use of comfort women going on today).
For the most part, it goes unacknowledged. There is one
specific panel that offers a much different outlook, though. Post coming up
tonight!
Hello! I was wondering if you knew if Prussia
was a different nation before he was the Teutonic knights? I think I read that
somewhere but Im not sure
Hi! This post should
help. It discounts the notion that Prussia was originally a Baltic by charting
the history of the different titles he’s held throughout his life [x].
Hello! I read somewhere a couple years ago,
that once Italy thought he was chubby and ate only a bite of pizza? Something
like that hahaha I remember reading some kind of list of canon things and found
about that
Hi! Yes and no. It’s not the
pizza that made him fat. He just so happened to be eating the pizza when he
realized it.
It’s about the
demographic relationship he has with his people. He gained weight due to rising
obesity rates.

i hope this isn’t a
dumb question, but ive always wondered if there was any info in canon about how
the nations get around to see each other in their respective countries so fast
😮 it seems kind of inconvenient for everyone to be so far apart from one
another!
Not a dumb question, but please refer to my post
directory next time. I have an in-depth post on that here [x].
Basically, aside from water/ continental distances, it’s possible for nations
to teleport and traverse to other nations on foot.
Ex: Lithuania stumbles across Greece during the Halloween 2013-2014 event.
eLLa. hELp. I
remember it, but can’t find it anywhere. It’s an ask Himaruya answered where he
states what kind of house America would live in as well as some other
characters. I can’t find it.
It’s from this blog post on Bamboo Thicket, July 3rd,
2008.

Question: Boss’s house seems very big, Poland’s is a castle, Japan’s is a quite detached single-family Japanese house, but what kind of homes do the rest live in? Are there any who live in apartment buildings or high-rises?
Response: “That’s a good question. They live in homes that match each era
and culture, economy, and also their moods, so it’s not like they’re permanent,
but I feel like Italy maybe is living in the same house that he’s remodeled
again and again.
America lived in a log cabin at first, and next was an austere English-style
building in the suburbs, then recently moved to an apartment building near New
York, and he seems to move quickly and randomly.”
hi js got back into hetalia after like 2 years and i never
really looked at hima’s blog and the later mangas before so i dont really know
about how he works things out, but when i js checked, hima’s been on a hiatus
(?) for half a year already, has he had breaks this long or is it possible
hetalia wont be updated anymore.
Hi! Welcome back, and yes. If you look up the timelines on his blog updates, he went through a long period of blog inactivity
during 2012. I’m not comfortable on speculating anything, sorry!
Like there’s one I’m taking a course with right now, titled “Crime
and the Media.”
She’s allowing us to
do anything for the final project, meaning that we can use different mediums to
convey the course material. We did a unit about tinder/ online stalking and peer
voyeurism on social media.
Doesn’t really matter but point is, she gave me permission
to write a story about my first date with Mathew on tinder. Really looking
forward to that xD
What do you think is the biggest cause of misconceptions in the
fandom?
There are many, but this is something I’ve recently been
looking at:
Aside from cultural misunderstandings—ex: when people from
the English side of the fandom take the word “onii-chan” literally. England and
America are not biological brothers, it’s a Japanese term of endearment and
affection—there are inconsistencies in the translations!
Let’s use an example from Volume 5. Remember that scene
where an American soldier asks if England and America are brothers and the two
get all flustered?
This is from the official official English translation and print version, licensed by
Tokyopop through Right Stuf inc.
England’s response:
“What the hell are you talking about? I’m more like a mentor maybe? Or an old
boss?”
Hetarchive’s third
party translation:
England’s response:
“You, what are you saying? So even if you’re saying I’m like his older brother,
it’s got nothing to do with that!”
Even though this example says “like” a brother means the
same thing, it’s not as definitive as the first version. It would be easier for
someone to make the conclusion that they are actually brothers when they’re
not.
Don’t get me wrong either. Words can’t describe how incredibly
grateful I am to those who run Hetarchive! This whole side of the fandom wouldn’t
exist without their amazing work!
All I’m saying is that anyone who really wants to know their
material need to their research.
