When looking at the characters’ relationships, do you factor in the real life relationships between the countries? I’m kinda curious about that.

This blog analyzes the manga, so it focuses on the content included in it. Whatever politics is included in canon is what I cover. Hetalia isn’t historically accurate so it personally doesn’t make sense to me to analyze their relationships in relation to the outside world without any canon material relevant to it. 

I know it’s a bit weird to grasp, but Hetalia is fiction that brings in real-life elements. The Hetalia universe is a separate reality essentially, drawing on whatever Himaruya decides to include from the real world. 

I think you’re failing to see that England looks genuinely horrified and disgusted by the idea of France loving him.This isn’t like his usual tsundere behavior where it’s more genuine in how his body language works alongside his dialogue.If anything that tsundere wording was just a joke from Himaruya and he does occasionally joke about such a thing.England is so not up for such a thing to happen.

If he was really so disgusted, then why did he feel compelled to clarify his feelings, let alone stutter and pause while doing so? 

True disgust is certain, void of hesitation. 

It’s immediate and he wouldn’t have had to justify himself. He would have acted completely aloof and dismissive if he was truly disgusted.

Q & A

hi! I am brand new
to the fandom (weird for 2018, I know haha) but I would like to start off by
saying thank you for what you do! Anyways, my question was, so I see a lot of
fan art for different ships and whatnot. I have only watched the anime not read
the comic yet (but I plan to!) and I was wondering if there are actually any
ships that are/were canon and if there’s not any, what are the most popular
fanon ones? I am trying to be wary of ship wars haha.

Not weird at all. People still join all the time! No need to thank
me, but you’re welcome 😀

No ships are canon, other than Chibitalia x Holy Rome. Even Aushun,
who were married, are not outright confirmed to have romantic feelings for each
other. There are a lot of hints, though. If you’d like to explore ships on this
blog, plug in the tag “Shipping Series.”

Some pairings where there are canon hints of romance are
FrUk, AusHun, SpaAus, SpaIta and Spamano. I use comic material and provide sources for
you to look at, so I’m not just pulling it out of nowhere lol.

kind of new to the fandom haha but I have heard
it has quite a few ‘gay undertones’, but I was wondering there is actually any
characters confirmed to be LGBTQ+?

Oh! Another new member! Welcome!

Hetalia is very gay.

Here are some posts to
corroborate that: [x] [x] [x] [x]. 

I know you’ve already lengthy talked about it,
but could you please make some clarifications about ‘nyotalia’? I still see
many people in the fandom being confused about the concept(i.e.
misunderstanding them as genderbents, considering heta/nyo verses of the
original ‘couples’, for example spanyo!mano being spamano het verse). Sorry to
bother

You’re not bothering me.
It’s just, there’s nothing more to really talk about. Like you’ve said, I’ve
already covered those misconceptions. It would be redundant to make another
post.

However, I would be more
than happy to link the post again for you [x].

So what is your opinion on the *whispers* movie
??

*googles synonym for
clusterfuck*

I mean the re-used
material thing is nothing new to Hetalia. Himaruya is notorious for re-using,
re-drawing, and re-printing old material.

Do think that Estonia wants to join the Nordics
because they give a sense of community that he just doesn’t get with the
Baltics. I mean the Nordics are this really close bunch and the Baltics are
just there.

No. It’s just a reference to
how Estonia is being increasingly grouped with the Nordics in the present
political sphere. There’s an increasing sentiment that looks at the similarities
between Finnish and Estonian language and culture.

Thank you! And yes! I’m pretty strict on that. If you’re going to form a counter, back up your claim with the strips. Floating claims are the biggest perpetrator of misconceptions in the fandom. Every conclusion has to be linked to a strip. It doesn’t mean that it’s a truth per say (only Himaruya can confirm that), but it lends more credibility to your argument. 

Side note: I know this is in my ask guidelines (but most of you don’t read them lol), but if I’ve already answered a question regarding a theory/ counter, I don’t answer asks that brings it up again. 

I have a post directory with all my post links attached. Just like a researcher has to look through existing literature on their topic, I expect those who form their counters to look through what has already been said. I just don’t think it’s fair for me to constantly re-answer something that I’ve already explained + it gets redundant for those who have already read these thoughts. 

However, if you touch on something that I’ve already explained and raise a question about my thought process/ conclusions, that’s when I’ll be more than happy to elaborate/ back up my claim further.

You’re welcome? Why are we in all caps here lol?

That’s extremely flattering, but Pewds reviews trending memes. My memes aren’t worthy!  Personally, I’m more of a Pew News kinda girl 😉

You can send an ask off anon, and I can answer it privately, or you can DM me. Or neither if you’re not feeling up to it. It’s really your choice, but the options are there 🙂

You didn’t ramble and tysm! <3333 I’m so glad that you’ve been able to enjoy yourself here.

One: The meme where Canadians
write their exams in empty hockey rinks is actually a photo taken from Uottawa,
my university. Most of my first year exams were written there lmao.

Two: During class presentations, I usually buy Timbits/
donuts from Timmies for everyone.

Thank you, but we
bicker and roast each other more than anything now. He gets so annoyed with me
OwO
