“Have you done a characterization post on England
yet? I feel like he’s often represented to be either way crueler or way more
timid/uke-ish than he actually is ripperoni”


I’m going to save England’s strength for another post, considering how perplexing his characterization is regarding that, but I can definitely do a characterization post on him. 

I’ve discussed his character in full several other times, so this will just be quick and dirty evidence should you ever need it! These will be the most common misconceptions I’ve noticed.

Post coming up tonight!

Why do you think Poland didn’t die when he lost his country? I mean, the dude was literally wiped off the map for 100+ years. I feel like most countries would become weak or die in that situation

I’ve touched on this before [x] [x] [x]

However, I haven’t discussed Poland’s partitions and how it’s portrayed in the manga, so I’ll draw up a quick guide on that. The logic still stands. 

Post on what causes the nations to fade coming up tonight!

I think the hedgehog allegory in Switzerland the hedgehog country is in reference to the greek fable about the fox and the hedgehog, how the fox knows many ways to do something while the hedgehog knows only one, but both are equally successful. The reference is made because Switzerland is unwilling to change his isolationist ways even while the world is progressing towards more international cooperation rather than because of his prickly personality, though it could have a double meaning.

Thank you for sharing this! It’s a very interesting and well thought-out take on his character [x].

What we know for sure is that it’s in reference to his prickly personality.

Tumblr’s ask box isn’t working, so I can’t re-ask myself the asks you guys sent in. I’ve also gotten notifications for asks that haven’t shown up 

😩

@staff this is a big problem across users, so please look into it. 

Anyways, I’ve already done Prussia, so characterization post on Switzerland coming up tonight!

This isn’t an ask but I read some of your stories on Fanfiction net and I thought they were wonderful. Also all the research you do to answer every ask. Your posts and stories always lift my spirits so thank you, for everything you do. Actually I guess I do have a question – what are your Hetalia otps? And your Hetalia brotps? Again thank you

<33333 Thank you so much, and yes! I’m very slow at responding because I don’t want to fudge through an answer. Detail and examples are key! Also, I’m sorry about the lack of fic updates. I’ve been wanting to write, but my summer courses have now absorbed my spare time. 

Um, oh, haha. Well, I was hesitant about this before because people, but whatevs. I’m a multi-shipper, but my preferences are Spamano, Fruk, and RusAme. These dynamics also work very well platonically.

My Hetalia Brotps are AmeCan, Ameripan, Ameliet, AsaKiku, Itapan, Gerpan, PruIta, and RomaBel.
