Y’all like Hetalia?

Aph Northern Ireland headcanons because why not

1. Youngest Kirkland brother no matter what the canon say as England being the "youngest" among them. Northern Ireland was created in 1921 he is a very young country compared with England that was founded in 927 AC, that makes a gap of 994 years of difference between England and North, North is the youngest!!.

Northern Ireland was created because the people, a huge majority wanted to stay in the UK, most of them protestants compared with the amount of catholics most counties in Ireland had and that was created after Ireland went all for it for independence in 1916 (and ignoring the fact counties of Fermanagh and Tyrone had catholic majority and were drawn into the concept of Northern Ireland) and even with the hc of Northern Ireland being the province of Ulster he would still be younger than his brothers

There is no way Northern Ireland as a country could be older than England, Scotland, Wales and even Ireland

2. He knows he can trust his brothers a lot and tell them all the problems he has but he feels like he is being unfair and shouldn't complain about his "problems". He knows his brothers didn't have it easy back then, North doesn't know how is to live just to survive, to go to the forests to get some food, to learn how to fight and use weapons because you need to survive in this world, to be able to manage to get food and clothes to keep warm from the cold.

He was born in a modern world, a world where he has everything his brothers didn't have when they were younger, he lives in a good house, a good bed, has good clothes, has food and can eat more than once per day, a lot of medicines...etc. thats why he, while he appreciates what he had, he feels left out in some way from his brothers, they have lived so much compared with him, they know easily how to survive in this world while he just doesn't so he tends to believe he doesn't deserve anything of this and he has some trouble to open up when he is struggling with something, he feels like his problems aren't that much serious compared with the problems his brothers had and I'm not referring to problems like "let me play videogames" "buy me candy please" no problems from anything related with school if he has some troubles with a teacher or classmates to political problems knowing how much fragile politics are in Northern Ireland.

3. He and teen nations have a group chat where they either complain about their older brothers or play videogames.

4. He and Hong Kong are very close friends same goes with Iceland and South Korea

5. He is really good at drawing and painting, he loves visiting museums and see the art pieces there. He loves going through the streets of Belfast and see the murals and he will always draw something if he has some free time

6. Social media addicted, his post are mostly about the s*it his brothers do which surprisingly has many likes and reviews from other nations. Ireland is happy to see he had left that house a long time ago but North will definitely bring Ireland into this

7. He is into videogames a lot, he will stay until very late at night playing, England has caught him and got angry at him for staying for so long playing and the excuse North use is that he is playing with Hong Kong and South Korea and they are awake now cause if he goes to sleep when he wakes up they will be already sleeping (no)

8. He loves playing Just Dance with Ireland but he gets angry at it cause he always loses agaisnt him. He knows Ireland is a very good dancer but there is no way he can manage to get more stars than him when North maybe knows the whole choreography of the song and Ireland probably is the first time seeing that. If he manages to win Ireland is mostly because Ireland didn't even tried to win and let North win for some time and make him happy

9. He is into Pokemon, he has played every single game, has a collection of cards and can tell you the whole pokedex

10. Besides Pokemon and Just Dance, he loves also League of Legends, Animal Crossing and Mario games specially Mario Kart. He is more a Nintendo fan, he doesn't like PlayStation games at all. Also he loves Minecraft he has plenty of worlds created

11. He likes kpop, South Korea talked about it to him a long time ago and well he got into it mostly because he find funny to learn the choreographies, also Hong Kong and Singapore are into it so the 4 of them will sometimes meet and do some dance covers, Iceland will occasionally join them because he is a closet kpop fan but he doesn't want to admit (and he doesn't want to learn the choreographies).

12. He speaks 3 languages, English, Irish and Ulster-Scots

13. He had tried to learn Irish via Duolingo until he realised he needed Ireland to learn the language

14. During the 6 Nations tournament, given the fact the Irish team is unified with people from the Republic and the North, he will support the Irish team. He indeed becomes more Irish than Ireland during this time.

If there is anyone who loved the most Ireland winning the tournament with a Grand Slam, on St Patrick's Day agaisnt England as the final match in England, that was definitely North

15. He hates History class, he just wants to cry and kick England ass everytime he heards something about history

16. He is into Gaelic football too, he will defend the Ulster teams with his life, specially Armagh and Tyrone which are the most popular currently but he will stay in the middle if that match happens just in case Armagh and Tyrone end arguing

17. He gets along really well with his counties and he between the 4 countries of the UK he is probably the one who is more close to his counties but not only his but the other 3 Ulster counties from the Republic, Cavan, Monaghan and Donegal

18. He struggles with anxiety and PTSD, he will sometimes not being able to wake up from bed and just skip school, he has many days where he just doesn't want to talk no matter how good intentions their brothers concerns for him are but they remind him that if he needs to talk about it, they will listen to him. Problem here that many times it's because of his brothers specially England, he knows Wales is the easiest to talk about but he knows Wales supports England way too much so if he talks with someone it would be Scotland or he will call Ireland.

19. Given the fact he is a very young nation, his brothers have talked to him about things he as a nation should have in mind. Starting with humans, they aren't like them, like their people, the brothers know North has many human friends cause after all there aren't too many nations that has the age he has and many of them live in the other side of the world so North will mostly meet his human friends to hang out, go to the cinema, to a park, etc so he is very fond of humans and he is developing his social interactions with them. This is something that is not bad but he needs to remember his friends will grow up while he will stay as a teenager of 17 years old even if it passes 50 years, his friends will grow up, get older, start their lives... and he is afraid of this. He is very concerned the friends he hangs out with nowadays, will forget him in 15-20 years, his friends wouldn't want to be his friend anymore when they became 40 or 50 years old,what kind of grown men of 50 years old is friend with a teenager? yeah they can remember him and North will try to help them if needed but that's something North isn't really that much secure about, at the end of the day again he will left alone, his human friends will dissapear one day, the friends he has made many memories and good times together, friends he met in school and became his classmates, friends from his dance school, friends from his neighbourhood. He wants them to stay like they are now or grow up like them, North feels more human than a nation given the fact many of the things North does as a nation are supervised by England and occasionally by Ireland but there are some things that are hitting him, as a friendly reminder he is not like them, that he is a nation and he is supposed to live for many centuries.

20. Kinda related with the one above, he really means it when he say he feels alone, his brothers have thousand of years behind their backs while he is just a little more than a century old nation and his friends will grow up and he will be stucked in his teenage body. He has many problems with this because he doesn't know how to be alone, he is afraid of being alone, of losing absolutely everyone, he just can't be left alone, yeah he needs his own space but he needs to know that there is someone near him or in the house. He has 4 older brothers, lives with 3 of them and yeah they will keep an eye on him but sometimes he will just feel really bad and sad. He feels like he is just in a limbo, in the middle of somewhere where he can see his brothers and his human friends but if he goes to them, they will get more far, so close but so far. He can't be alone, he can't be left alone, the brothers will always try to make to someone be in home but there are times it's just impossible for them, they will sometimes call Ireland to see if he can come to look up for him or just have a conversation with him through the telephone which sometimes it has worked but he can't avoid to feel like he is a burdern to his brothers that why he will get pretty emotional if he sees his brothers helping him with anything

21. He hates the division his people has but he knows he just wants peace for everyone.

22. He identify as both, Irish and British

23. Name goes by William/Liam Kirkland because he doesn't want to have a name that can cause some trouble to him for being "too Irish" or "too British". He needs a neutral name to evite those problems, Connor is a good name for him but it's an Irish origin name and he doesn't want to have problems with the unionists that identify as British for his nation having an "Irish name".

William would be used by this unionist/British people and Liam being the short version of William and its most commonly used in Ireland (coming from Ulliam) so this way he has "both communities at peace"

24. He is the only brother that doesn't have a proper surname, Wales and Scotland have individual surnames when they weren't part of the UK. The Kirkland in the family its becasue of being part of the UK, which England represents both so England going by the name of Arthur Kirkland and the representative of the UK, Wales, Scotland and North got the Kirkland surname. Ireland had the Kirkland until he got independent but Northern Ireland's case its different.

He can't go for independence unlike Scotland and Wales, given by the Good Friday Agreement signed in 1998 by both the UK and the Irish government and with a big majority support of both Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, it is said the agreement reached was that Northern Ireland was part of the United Kingdom, and would remain so until a majority of the people both of Northern Ireland and of the Republic of Ireland wished otherwise.

So Northern Ireland has the Kirkland surname while he is part of the UK until his people wants to join the rest of Ireland, he will get Ireland's surname if Irish unity happens

25. He wants to study something related with technology but he loves biology and psychology a lot as well. He is very concerned about mental health, sex education, bullying, drugs, alcohol, etc

Me: finally out of the fandom

Hetalia: gets trendy

Me: ah shit here we go again

Imo Kiku wondered if Yao predicted his rise; as he grew he felt increasingly sure he did. Cuz Yao was keen to point out his flaws relative to Korea during "lessons." I hc that Korea got praised more often on seemingly easy tasks which irritated little Kiku. But as an adult he's like "old man liked me less because I had the traits to rival him," so after conquering Korea he'd mock him about it; said Yao liked him because he was weak. After all, it was highly plausible. The sentiment remains 2day.

Prev

ooh this is interesting! I can see that happening but I think the timeline might be a little off? I think Kiku would’ve been taking “lessons” from Yao until like 1000-ish AD/CE when relations cooled and official ties were cut, but Korea (I’m going with the theory that Silla = Im Yong Soo and Goguryeo = North Korea’s personification) wasn’t really officially “under” China until ~700 CE ish (when Silla conquered the Korean peninsula with Tang Chinese help, and then drove out the Chinese army that was planning to squash Silla). So imo they only spent a small-ish period of time together; however if we’re going with the interpretation that Kiku was at Yao’s house even after 1000 AD (because unofficial trade and all that continued) or Korea was at Yao’s before 700 AD (because of the trade and cultural borrowing stuff) I can see that happening: Korea being more obedient and “enthusiastic” to borrow stuff from China and “learn” from him than Kiku. Or maybe Kiku thinks they’re all equally eager, but somehow China sees Korea through rose tinted glasses, and favors him/them unfairly. Definitely with you on how a younger Kiku (idk what’s his age at this point, maybe like 10-13? sksk opinions welcome) would be eager for praise (especially from his most powerful neighbor) and the satisfaction/acknowledgement that comes from Yao’s approval of his society and civilization. The whole thing ties into how you mentioned earlier that Japan looked up to Yao as a model of sophistication and therefore wanted his approval and favor in that respect.

Also 100% yes @ the point of how Kiku justifies Yao’s treatment of him after, warping it to make himself seem more powerful. Also goes along with how Kiku has shed Yao’s influence fully, since he doesn’t care anymore about if Yao approves, and mocks Korea for Yao’s approval of him/them. I also saw something about how Imperial Japan saw the Korean peninsula as a rabbit vs the Koreans seeing it as a tiger and that also goes along with Korea’s perceived weakness.

But I don’t know enough about how Japan (ie Japanese citizens) sees South Korea today to comment about that sentiment persisting. From the bits of reading I did, it seems that it would be accurate because the Japanese superiority complex over Asia seems to be pretty prominent :|||||||| (apparently there’s a phrase “so stupid a Korean can do it”?), but I’m not sure if that’s just in the older generations or throughout Japanese society.

FACT CHECKS VERY WELCOME for any part of this

Also some additional reading for Ancient Chinese/Korean and Ancient Chinese/Japanese r/ships because I’m going to forget where I got the information from later

Edit: also I can definitely see Kiku being like “hmm did Yao know I was going to be this strong someday?” Because, honestly, Yao probably did. but just brushed the thought off until it was too late. So it’s very clever for Kiku to realize that, but it also shows some of his feelings of superiority I think. Him thinking that he’s the golden child (bad metaphor but it’ll do for now) and thinking that Yao saw himself, an empire, mirrored in Kiku, and therefore trying to push him down and belittle him to prevent it. V in character for Kiku.

I have been stuck thinking about hetalia again.. Should I open up an ask blog again..?

America: I bought this new iPhone from China, and as soon as I walked out of the store, it turned itself off and the Samsung logo popped out

China and S Korea: *nervous sweating*

remembering that most of the hetalia countries are either physically teenagers or college aged despite being centuries old and going through unspeakable shit like
