Thank you for your interest, and no worries. Yes! I will be continuing the three main ongoing stories that I have. I’m so sorry for how long it’s been since I last updated.
I’m heading into the final year of my degree this fall, so I have a lot to sort out! I’m also possibly doing a student placement with the RCMP and have to worry about interviews/ undergoing an extensive security check.
Anyways, I plan to be finished all three of my WIPs by the end of June. Once my free time opens up, updates will come very fast. I plan to make the first updated chapters close to 20,000 words to make up for my long absence 🙂
[I’m really sorry about those cliffhangers though ;;;; ]
Briefly put, we know that Prussia is East Germany, but he hasn’t been formally introduced or referred to as such.
On the wiki page, they cite “Germany is playing an impossible game” as the strip where Prussia’s status as East Germany is confirmed. It pretty much is [it refers to German Unification], but again, it’s not explicit. Technically, it’s not confirmed then, as I’ll elaborate on later.
I actually disagree with how this was done. No matter how obvious something is, I’m of the mindset that things shouldn’t be accepted as canon until it is explicitly stated as such. Most East Germany references have to do with German Unification or Prussia working for Russia, however, no labels are given…
Guide on what we know about Prussia’s extremely probable status as East Germany coming up tonight!
Anon 1: I didn’t forget that Germany’s states are personified. An example post is not purposed to provide
a full list of every case in the manga/ web comic. That’s why I provided
sources for people to search the “states and provinces” tag if they wanted a
more complete list of all state personifications.
However, since we’re on
that note, if anyone wants examples of German state personifications, several of
them are mentioned in the “Cleaning Prussia-san” game [x]. Saxony makes a few
formal appearances in the webcomic (e.g., one panel in the Maria Theresa Arc).
Hesse is the one with
the most formal appearances (e.g, 2011 Christmas strips, volume 5).
Lastly, since the states
aren’t actually personified in canon, that last part of your ask is a headcanon
(I just don’t want anyone to confuse this). But, yes, I’m often perplexed by
the whole ‘top secret’ trope. This is also the case for me in AUs where the nations
are kept as a secret from the public, when we know in canon that humans are aware of their existence.
Anon 2: I suppose, but there are
times where they are both referred to as Italy in conjunction. It’s an inconsistency I’ve noticed in the series.
Like you said, Romano is
referred to as Italy in Lithuania’s outsourcing pt. 3.
However, they’re both
seen representing Italy [in general] at a world meeting in an incompleted strip. (not canon,
just used for demonstrative purposes).
Likewise, what I find
odd is that when they’re given EU profiles, Veneziano is referred to as Italy,
meanwhile Romano is specified as South Italy. [x]
Either way, there’s no
real reason provided in canon to account for this, so I just accept it how it
is.
Remember that time where Austria wore skirts until Maria Theresa produced a male heir? It’s a joke taken literally.
“’For a long time, Maria Theresa wasn’t blessed with a male heir, and as she gave birth to a third daughter, Friedrich made fun of her saying that ‘Austria is a country that only wears skirts.“’
All righty! Looks like it’s time for a more comprehensive guide focusing specifically on their health. They suffer from a variety of symptoms – it’s not just colds or fevers.
Post coming up soon!
Thank you my lovelies 😘
3/5 exams are done, the worst is already out of the way! I’ll soon begin clearing out asks in a more timely fashion.
When England is depicted as a hateful character. He’s bitter, insecure, and resentful, but he’s never motivated by hate.
Don’t get me wrong either. He can be cruel. But, he can also be extremely thoughtful, considerate, and sensitive.
All right, yeah. While this isn’t a novel theory or anything, I still think it’s important to point out that very few nations actually hate each other. Yes, there are periods where they do, but it’s not a deep-set hatred. I can only think of one example where it’s true hatred, and it’s only one-sided.
This isn’t strictly intended for ships, but it can certainly be used as a reference if you want to prove that the relationship dynamic is possible. I’ll touch on this later, but I want to reiterate again that the nations are cultural, not political representations.
Post coming up tonight.
England hands down. He has the immune system of a fruit fly.
