So Uhm, CAW anon here. I haven’t been into Hetalia for years. But I feel like talking about a few things I noticed back in fandom a lot that I didn’t see at all in the canon manga/anime (though Hetalia itself is just a fanfic of history. I’m only focusing on character and relationships present in the canon series).

Ok a lot has probably changed since the last couple of years in fandom. But back then I saw a lot of depictions of the FACE group: England and Canada not having much of a relationship. France and Canda being the closest while France and America aren’t close at all. America and Canada having a strained if not dysfunctional brotherly bond. Canada having no backbone and being a sad sack all the time or just being a pure angel with no flaws. America being too childish.

I’m going to try to remember all the canon bits to back me up. But I’m mostly curious if there’s anything off and your (most likely much more up to date and informed) thoughts.

Canada and England have a pretty good relationship from what I’ve seen. We’ve sen plenty of material of England being present in colony Canada’s life. He used to cook for him too (poor Canada) and Canada spent almost about the same amount of time with him as America did. Later on Canada chose Enlgand over America when the colonies revolted. He didn’t want to pick a side but in the end he did. He fought against American troops. Was there when England was heartbroken over the fighting. He even acted as a strategist, using his knowledge as America’s twin brother to use America’s weaknesses against him (sending surrender papers inside a basket of food. America was so hungry it took George Washington telling him to resist to not take the bait). Later on when America and Canada were trying to mend their relationship. Canada would get so nervous and have England talk for him all the time instead (which only confused America). England did it without any fuss despite any issues he and America might still have. Overall Canada recalls having a good childhood and England was a part of that. The two might not be as close as America and England are, but they have their own history and bond both are very comfortable and happy with each other.

America and Canada. Fans I ran into often focused on America and England’s dynamic history. But the North American brothers have a lot of their own turmoil and strength to them as well. While Canada might,moan about being invisible and such. Canada also remembers having a very fun childhood with America. So much he remembers how sad he was when America grew up much faster then him and couldn’t play with him all the time like he used to. When Canada told America he didn’t want to fight, only to choose England, America felt betrayed. He loved Canada and wanted his twin brother to fight for freedom with him. Their relationship went pretty sour for a long time. But the two did end up trying to be mature later on in life and congratulate each other despite how annoyed they are at how different the other is.

From there we only get brother goodness. They can bug each other a lot. Canada takes for granted everything America has done and gone through, things that have also been good for Canada. While America likes to mess with Canada and act pushy with him. They do like to horse around and spend time together. Despite their differences, they’re probably the closest siblings in the world of nations. They’ve gone through their bitterness and still chose to be close brothers in the end. They like to play sports together. They like to use their appearances to mess with England who can’t tell them apart like France can. They call each other on the phone a lot. They have a joint Search for Santa Claus operations every winter. America respects Canada’s opportunity and ability to easily get along with others. He also takes Canada’s concerns very seriously and offers reasonable and helpful advice such as how to help his citizens get along. Canada’s opinions must mean a lot to him since Canada is the only individual to make America cry in despair when he went into his 3 hour insult rant against him. Despite his complaints about his personality, Canada looks up to America as a big brother who he always goes to for comfort or help. He respects and admires America a lot and trusts him as his closest confidante (after his polar bear. Not that that bear is ever helpful). Overall America and Canada have their downs like every sibling pair has. But they also seem to have a very strong and stable connection where they can act like brothers and best friends. Sometimes I think it’s easier to imagine America is closer to Canada then he is to England.

America and France. Back then these two didn’t get a lot of attention. Which is strange because there’s tons of material of them interacting throughout the centuries. France used to cook for America when England wasn’t around (I bet when Colony America said English food was as good as French food, some thing broke inside France. The reason America started disliking English food is because France made it his mission to salvage some of his tastebuds. Xp). France has been the only FACE member to stay by America’s side without conflict. Both of them obviously had a close bond since France gave America Lady Liberty and you could see teasing and ruffling America’s hair like a big brother. The two hang out a lot. They go to Maid Cafes together. They seem to have lunch together all the time at conferences since France is always looking for America to go eat together. They apparently also have sleepovers a lot and like to compare different genres of movies. Whatever issues their people can have with each other never seems to affect their personal interactions. France is the big brother of love and that’s sometimes a running gag for jokes. But he really seems to be like a normal big brother figure for America. He often worries about America and Russia’s scary relationship and chides England for raising America to be weird. In a deleted strip, France is preventing America from drinking alcohol because he’s too young (being physically 19). It also gets a bit heartwarming when you recall the Joan of arc strips where France meets the reincarnation of Joan and she’s an American. Almost like America is now taking care of Joan and giving her the opportunity to be free and happy in ways she couldn’t before.

Also while it’s not part of their dynamic. It’s always interesting that when the author wanted to show the Nation’s personal relationships with humanity. He always chose America and France. The supposed happy go lucky airheads who often gain a affectionate yet somber (to even downright tragic) experience from it.

Overall America and France have a nice quiet and stable relationship. You could say while England raised America as a colony. France was among the mentors to America on how to be his own Nation.

I think that’s it. Again my memory might be foggy but that’s what I can recall. =P

~~~

WAIT A MINUTE YOU’RE ALSO A HETALIAN??? AND YOU NEVER TOLD ME???

Okay, I’m going to prioritize this ask/submission thing first because wow, you’re a Hetalian and Hetalia has a special place in my heart. First of all, I’m kind of flattered that you think that I’m up to date for this, hahaha. I’ll have to tell you, while I do know a lot about American history, I’m actually more of a fan of the Itabros, hehehe.

A few tumblr people that I know specialize in Hetalia and have already posted FACE dynamics a lot in the blogs are, but not limited to: @historihet @stirringwinds and @ellawritesficssometimes. I’m not sure if Ella is still active, but there’s a lot of content that you can browse through if I’m not thorough. Also, again, the list of tumblrs that have been associated with FACE are definitely more than I can imagine, those are the three that I follow and know off the top of my head.

To @historihet @stirringwinds @ellawritesficssometimes, I love your interpretations and love for history! If I say anything inaccurate or something you don’t find to your liking, please inform me! I don’t want to spread misinformation and I’m just so excited to talk about Hetalia to my dear Anon Friend :D

If you’re reading this, I hope that you all have a wonderful day! And keep up the great work with your own analyses/fanart/fanfiction/etc. You guys rock and keep the fandom alive. :D

Anywhoozles, what you said here is fairly accurate. FACE definitely has its up and downs. Assuming that you haven’t been active in the fandom since... let’s say 2012-2014ish era, you might have noticed that the common bonds are Canada and France (platonic), France and England (rivalry/lovers/enemies), and the most concerning relationship America and England (brothers/rivals/lovers???). What you said in your analysis really applies within the sense of what is considered to be manga/anime canon, not necessarily historical canon.

In historical canon (if you want to go down that route), FACE is one dysfunctional mess if you want to consider it as one family unit. Every one of them at one point has been at each other’s throat at one point (whether it be at war or just snubbing the other because of politics).

We have:

1. The Revolutionary War (England vs America)

2. War of 1812 (Canada/England vs America, with special emphasis in 1814 because Canada burned down America’s White House if I remember correctly)

3. The XYZ Affair (I’m pretty sure it was a snub in diplomacy??? which actually started a war???)

4. The fact that American promised to help France in their own revolution, but Washington said no because we’re still a new country and all that jazz (...I know this because of Hamilton IF YOU’RE ALSO A HAMILFAN I WILL CRY)

5. And like the entire history of France/England is just its own thing

As you can probably tell, FACE... I think was just a term for the fans to make this makeshift family dynamic that is cute in some respects if this was like a human au, but definitely a cluster of effs if you imagine them as eldritch abominations that were brought to life because of human imagination.

Like, the dynamics can go in so many directions if you want to choose one aspect of history over another.

In @stirringwinds, they often write/draw about America as this Prodigal son who happens to be like the Crown Prince succeeding his once proud father. (America turning into a superpower after the World Wars and the English Empire just kinda dismantling itself because of everything.... OF COURSE THAT’S AN OVERSIMPLIFICATION, PLEASE DON’T KILL ME FOR INACCURACY!

Whereas for another tumblr, @historihet they portray the USUK relationship as more of a ship. Like, the whole brother relationship that is skewed in the anime/dubs/subs (this is due to the fact that some fans take the whole older brother thing too literally because in Japan, you call your elders/peers that happen to be older than you via polite endearments) is more of a... I’m not gonna say paternal, but it was more of a mentor thing? I’m not sure, I haven’t interacted with them much, but I’m pretty sure they ship it. Plus, their art is so amazing and they’re obviously a fan of history because wow, their head canons and their art is so beautiful and detailed.

As for the whole France and Canada relationship, I think this can be further elaborated via @ellawritesficssometimes. I remember reading that France and Canada, while having a similar relationship to England and America, it wasn’t that close or as heartwarming as many fans make it out to be. If you follow Canadian history, I’m pretty sure Canada was under French rule for a sort time before becoming part of the English Empire. Like, Canada was part of the Empire for a longer time than under France. This means that France wasn’t always there, England was. You can further read between the lines about the English/Canadian relationships, especially if you consider the fact that America fought an entire revolution to get away from England because of neglect on England’s part and on Canada’s part.... all he had to do was ask.

Soooooo....

Overall, I’m glad that you told me that you were part of the Hetalia fandom. It’s nice to see that the fandom is still alive and kicking, hahah. That reminds me, I’ve got to finish my series concerning Italia Veneziano, oops. Just wondering, but why did you want to talk about this? Not that I mind, it just seems out of the blue...

Thanks for the analysis and your chat! I hope that you have a wonderful day! :D

Please don’t tell me you want a FACE fic, hahahah. XD

Baby talk

This is a Christmas fic for jass-da-hetalian who wanted a JapanxSwitzerland Fic, Merry Christmas. They wanted Smile while he smiles with you prompt. Warnings: mentions of past mpreg. This is part of the @aphsecretsanta

Japan didn’t know how he got into the business of watching the Nordic twins, but he found himself he really didn’t mind. Helsinki and Stockholm were only a few months old and Finland had asked the raven hair nation to watch them for a while since the Nordics were having a meeting. So, Japan was sitting in the main meeting room waiting for the Nordics to come back.

The twins were cooing looking at the raven haired man. The only people they knew were the Nordics who were blonds and had light color eyes so looking at older nations was new. Japan smiled and reached in the diaper bag Finland gave him and pulled out two stuff animals.

He gave Helsinki the stuffed Bear and Stockholm the stuffed rabbit. The nation giggled as the two cooed and heard a voice behind him.

“So, your put-on babysitting duty?” Japan smiled and turned to see his boyfriend.

“Hai, but I don’t mind it, these two are sweet.” Japan replied as Switzerland sat down beside him.

“I guess…” the blond replied as his eyes went to Helsinki who was staring at him.

The older baby cooed and reached out to the blond. He reminded her of her papa and wanted to be held. The blond nation seemed to understand, and he picked her up and the baby smiled.

Japan then heard the coo from Stockholm and he quickly picked her up. The golden blond then started coo and clap her hands, it was if she was talking to the black-haired nation. Japan smiled and kissed her head nodding at the blonde’s cooing.

He then looked over to Switzerland who was staring at him. The blond nation had a soft smile to reply with Japan’s smile. Then he leaned to kiss the raven-haired man but instead kissed the golden-haired baby on the cheek. The blond blinked then heard a whine and looked down at the winter blond he was holding.

“Hush, it’s alright Herushinki, I’ll give you a kiss since Suisu kissed Sutokkuhorumu.” (Helsinki, Switzerland, and Stockholm)

Japan then leaned down and kissed the winter blonde’s forehead and the girl cooed. Japan smiled again along with Switzerland. Then the raven hair moved and kissed his boyfriend and the swiss smiled into the kiss. That’s when they both heard cooing and looked down to see the twins smiling up at them.

“They are cute…” Japan said as he bounced Stockholm.

“Ja, sind Sie.” (Yes, they are.) Switzerland replied as he did the same to Helsinki.

“I wonder if our children would be as cute…” Japan said with a blush only to hear a thump beside him and scared squeal.

The raven-haired the nation looked to see his boyfriend knocked out with a blush on his face. His arms still around Helsinki who was whining. He gently put Stockholm on the baby blanket and then took Helsinki and placed her beside the sister.

He watched as the golden blond reached out to her sister and when she touched the winter blond the babe started to calm down. Japan then noticed both started to yawn, and he sang a little lullaby and then put a blanket over the now sleeping twins. He then turned his attention to his boyfriend and sighed.

“ええ、私たちの赤ちゃんはかわいいでしょう。 (Yeah, our babies will be cute.)

Japan then brought out another blanket and put it over the pass out nation. He would talk to later about having their own children. Right now, he was happy to be in a relationship with a nation who he loved, and the nation loved him back.

Fin

Omake:

“I can’t believe you used the twins in your plan Hungary,” Belgium remarked as they watched the scene.

“Denmark owed me one, I did help him, and Norway get together.”

“Which is why he called a Nordic meeting.”

“Yep, so in a few months, we might have a Swiss-Japanese child on our hands.”

The girls squealed in delight, not noticing an overprotective Fin and angry Swede was behind them, not to happy that their daughters were used in the two female countries plan.

Are there any ships that used to be strong but now aren't popular? Or used to be unpopular but now have grown?

*cLAPS HANDS TOGETHER*

You really wanna know?

Alright, so in the beginning of Hetalia, the world that you’ve known here was born.

Itamuney, AKA GerIta has won since…like forever. She’s kind of a battered ship, but she’s endured just about everything and still reigns as one of the most powerful ship in Hetalia. She’s a well known Classical Ship and is known as the Queen of the Hetalian Galaxy of the Sea of Stars.

Other Classical ships you know are like Unified (FrUK), Sufin, Rochu, and Hyraus (AusHun). Of course, they have their share of defeats, but no doubt they are powerful. Unified and Kingstate still tussle a lot due to their reputation. Hyraus’ younger siblings fight a lot. But most of the time, they leave him out of the wars. Sufin…no one knows how to divide him well ^^’. Rochu, of course, being from the Black Triangle Fleet, is one of the superpowers. However, his strength has been hidden behind a rising star, but he’ll be planning a rise again, just you wait…

Reign of the more popular ships after the dominance wars got boring! Instead of just shipping one nation to another nation and never ship them to anyone else, we started making ships that shared passengers around this time. Unified had been defeated from Kingstate (USUK) about here. Lithuania started getting more ships and so two new ships had joined the Classical Fleet; Lietpol and Espirano.

Okay, y’know when I said that Hyraus has a lot of battle-prone siblings? Here are the two most common; Pruhun and Pruastria. These two fight just about as much as Unified and Kingstate. Around this time Giripan, a new Classic, and Aisurong (HongIce) just started becoming popular. Sadly, their popularity didn’t really last long. Giripan got shrouded by Ameripan and Aisurong just…faded in the background. These ships, however, are still well-loved by their soldiers. Just some ships go to war more than others.

Now, here are some maybe more known ships. Of course, the fandom will remember a lot more of the Classics than the currents. However, that all changed when Rusame started becoming powerful after a win against Kingstate and Rochu. More ships started coming toward his stride and the Shipping Showcase had happened. It’s fizzled out and more ships started becoming more popular. Canada had started getting more ships and Cucan, Amandara (CanAme) and Pruscan started getting attention.

Of course, there are more ships that you’ve probably heard of that has gained popularity over the decade, like; Cankraine, Beliet, and Amechu. This doesn’t mean that they haven’t made a name for themselves.

Y’all just keep supporting them and let’s see how this’ll change their popularity.

#hetalia #ships galore #just know when I put ships galore that means there's a lot of ships #if you're looking for posts like that ^^#Hetalian Galaxy Timeline #or at least a butchered version of it #I tried my best 0v0'#shipping wars #ships

ooc to lighten the mood

I’ve also met,, I think it was Joel Mcdonald,,, who is one of the English dub voices of Poland, and can I just say that he is an absolute bean

It was at AFW, and I was in a casual Canada cosplay because fuck wearing a winter parka in June in the middle of Kansas, hell no I found all of the Hetalia cosplayers, and there was a decent amount of us tbh, and we all like,, swarmed one section of the con and it was great. And a handful of them were running an “ask-a-nation” panel, so naturally, all of us went. The room it was in had another panel in it right before, a voice actor Q&A, I don’t remember what anime it was for, but Joel was in it, so he was in the room. Towards the end of that panel, all of us Hetalians creeped into the back of the room and waited for it to end,, And he spotted us, and his face lit up, and he looked like a child who just saw santa at a mall and pointed to us and was like “MY PEOPLE!” he was so ridiculously excited to see so many Hetalia cosplayers, even though none of us were Poland, he didn’t care, he stayed after that panel got out and chatted with us, and had people take pictures of all of us with him and gosh he’s such a bean

also, the America cosplayer that was in the ask-a-nation panel is like, 11/10, damn, legit pulled out a bag of mcdonalds and started chain eating burgers throughout the panel,

yo can i hear about the Heta-Android au???? it sounds really cool!!!!!!!

Are you ready for a cringey 2015 idea that became not cringey? Because that’s what this AU is.

It was originally a hetalia based fnaf au because I wanted to make the Hetalians scary. It’s got a lot more plot now. But the basics of the AU is where the hetalians are robots who can entertain guests in a cafe. I have a blog for it but its been a while since Ive done anything with it, Ive been busy with other things but I want to make a choose your own adventure heta-horror with them. Seeing as they ya know in the classic fnaf fashion kill people--

(amazing art by @indiegenesis101)

for example have this little shit. Italy has problems seeing things. His eyes were broken so theyre constantly in night mode (the black one) so he usually keeps his eyes closed. People like to make jokes about how many fingers theyre holding up. He’s always looking for his brother, who hangs out up in the rafters because he got his voice box ripped out by Japan and Germany for constantly swearing. Lots of feuding between all the Axis and Allies.

Russia is my favorite, he hangs out in the office with you and really hates when he’s not allowed inside the office. He has the baltics as these minireena like figures that crawl in his jacket like those horror movies where things crawl under people’s skin. Theyre his little spies--- I like them-- they can’t really talk, they just laugh and fuck with your shit.

America likes to eat things even though it wrecks him internally then Canada or the technicians have to fix them. America is a steel trap and no one really wants to work on him cause he has a knack of stealing people for the lols

Man this art is old-- I dont think Ive done digital art of them-- oh wait there is the one shot of germany and japan---

Germany was always a very interesting andriod. Despite all the really dickish one like Japan and America, Germany was one of the chill ones. France was another good one.

I had this whole underpart to it, a murder mystery to solve and such. Ive wanted to make a game for this-- or maybe change the blog to a choose your own adventure--but uh

yeah.

The andriod au is hetalia but making them scary robots that want to kill you but only some of them probably. Murder mysteries and America being an ass while Russia plays security guard. Its the ultimate fanservice on the surface with the underlying torture and death that all hetalia fans love

I think

or so it feels.

for possibly more content, feel free to check out the blog-- https://asktheheta-andriods.tumblr.com/

its kind of inactive right now, but I havent touched the blog since I started making digital art so I should probably revamp it at some pointtt-

thanks for coming to my TEDtalk

Submit Anon: Why I Left the Hetalia Fandom

Be forwarned, this tale is a long one. Sorry if this story is all over the place. If any readers recognize these people, do not go after them. Real names will not be used in this story, so we’ll call these “Hetalians” in question:

*”Ludwig”, a young woman who Oliver had/has feelings for.

*”Oliver”, the star of this tale, and the ringleader of a cosplay group.

*”Matthew”, the oldest member of the cosplay group, and the only other male besides me. We were very briefly a thing.

*”Feli”, me, the one who had to put up with all this. I’m autistic, and have some sensory issues; I also don’t usually catch typical “cues” right away.

*”Francis”, and “Kiku”, two of Oliver’s sympathizers, friends, and members of her group.

*”Tino”, a Finland cosplayer who honestly was kind of bossy.

I first met these Hetalians when I first started out cosplaying. It was the Saturday of a certain con that I met Ludwig, who, while an attractive woman, I only saw as a friend (remember this as we go on).

We chatted on Tumblr for awhile, and one day she asked if I was going to the Hetalia Day meetup that year. Not knowing about it until then, I said yes! Because of course I wanted to expand my circle of friends, and if these would-be friends have the same interests as me, then that makes it a hundred times easier.

So the day of the meetup came, and so far, everything was fine. Ludwig came about an hour after I did, and unbeknownst to me, and brought a friend of hers along. This is how I met Oliver.

(Quick side note before we continue: I’m the type of person, who even non-romantically, if I’m comfortable enough with a person, I hug, hold hands, etc. willingly, as I otherwise don’t particularly care to touch other people.)

So Ludwig and I head from one pavilion to the other (the meetup was at a rather large park), and as we’re walking, holding hands as we do, we suddenly hear this girl yell at us, and despite being nearly a foot shorter than me (I’m 5’7”, she was like 4’8”, I think?) nearly pulled me to the ground, with such force that I nearly did lose my balance! Now I’m not the assertive type at all, nor did I really understand at the time why Oliver did that to begin with, so I back off a little for the time being.

In fact, I nearly forget about the incident until almost a year later, when Oliver volunteered to pick me up to take me to A-Fest, since I couldn’t (and still can’t OTL) drive, and get me to my hotel. We have somewhat of a decent conversation on the way there. Mostly about other cons we’ve been to previously. Oliver also brought up about Ludwig and how “she was the best thing to ever happen to [her]”. And suddenly her behavior at the meetup made sense to me. Or, it sort of did, I would end up needing a few more hints that came when we picked up Ludwig so we could all go get our badges together, and so I could get checked into the hotel I was staying at.

So among all other things I had with me, a video camera was one of them, because I wanted to (and would still like to) try out the whole “vloging” thing. As soon as Ludwig is in the shot, however, Oliver snaps at me saying “Don’t film my woman!”

I was taken aback, because since when was she your woman? It was established prior to picking her up that Ludwig is only interested in men (cis men, specifically), and that she already had a boyfriend. And there was certainly no polygamy involved. Yet, this whole thing was still going over my head.

Anyway, I get checked in, and even though I booked the hotel room, Tino, who I was unfortunately rooming with, starts acting like she’s the boss. She snapped at me when I didn’t look her in the eyes, even though that’s something I’m not comfortable with (eye contact is very distracting to me), she wouldn’t let me go to sleep until four in the morning, and that was only because I had started shaking and crying from behind so sleep deprived. And because she prioritized con so much, she barely let me eat, or bathe, or brush my teeth. Except maybe one time each, each day? If even that? And despite bringing four characters to cosplay, she only allowed me to wear one! One character, two outfits, the whole con! And she forced me to go to the rave with her; I don’t go to raves, or as I like to call them “sensory overload imminent”, so just imagine how well that went…

There was an incident where I had accidentally left my video camera and my mom’s camera that I was borrowing at the Hetalia photo shoot location; I did get them back a day later (thank you whoever dropped them off at lost and found!), but at the time, I was really upset about it, and Tino wouldn’t let me go look for them, and I ended up having a meltdown because of that, and from being bossed around, and from being so sleep deprived. Did she care? Only because she wanted to get back to con going! Hell, a random passerby was more concerned than she was!

Neglecting her health bit her in the ass on the last day of con, however, as she caught con plague. I don’t wanna say that she had it coming, but she did. And when my shenanigans with her ended, in came Matthew.

Now, at this point, I barely knew him from online, along with past cons and meet ups, but I soon found myself spending Saturdays with him. From there, we became fast friends over the course of a year. He got me into a few other anime titles as well, yet when I tried to get him into my favorite games (since I do mostly prefer video games over anime), he wouldn’t have any of it. He even called Kirby “a video game for babies” once when I wore my Kirby t-shirt!

(Also, funny thing: even though he’s older than me, and owns every Nintendo console, he can’t get the Koopalings’ namesakes correct! That’s like, Nintendo 101 stuff, too!)

Despite this, I somehow managed to develop feelings for him (and I still don’t know why). We went on, maybe three dates at most, before calling it quits.

And Matthew, if you are reading this: Yes, I will admit I was very immature then. I will also admit that arousal is an emotion that I am not 100% familiar with. It was a very confusing mess I should have left you out of. In those regards, I apologize for giving you any unnecessary stress. That is all I will apologize for.

While that whole tangent with Matthew was going on, Oliver decided to start an Another Color Hetalia (better known as 2P) cosplay group, and roped as many of us in as possible. Even though I was assigned a character, I never even got around to starting on the costume, which was for the better really.

It was during this, I learned once and for all that Oliver thought I was trying to steal Ludwig. At Hetalia Day 2014, we were all there, but when I went up to Ludwig to try and say hello to her, some other Hetalians, who I presume were some of Oliver’s cronies, stopped me from going up to her.

“I just want to say ‘hi’!” I said.

“Are you sure about that, Feli?” one of them asked. I just walked away totally confused, wondering what I said or did. I reached two conclusions after the meetup:

1. Oliver must not really like me that much. 2. She thinks I’m trying to steal away Ludwig, even though I have no reason to.

I unfriend her online not long after, but I was still a part of the cosplay group. For some reason.

Anyway, in November that year, there was yet another cosplay meet up I wanted to go to. However, there was no way I could get there myself, as my mom, who would normally take me to these things, would be working on that day. So I ask Francis if she, or anyone else going, could come and get me that day. I ask her at least twice, and she completely ignored me. The day of the meetup comes and goes, and I end up missing it. I told Francis it was mean of her to ignore me, and some friend she was to just forget about one of her friends (in summary; I forget the exact words I used), and unfriended her.

The next day, Oliver messaged me, telling to “say [I’m] sorry to Francis.”…Except Francis was the one at fault, not me?? I never apologize, since she deserved what I said.

One day on Facebook, our cosplay group (yes, I was still somehow a member!) was debating on having an Ask-a-2P Panel, and which con to have it at (since each of our 2015 con schedules were different all around). The main concern was having everyone at the same place at the same time. I took this problem seriously, and decided to make a suggestion.

Now, you know how in theater, every actor has an understudy (aka, a ‘back-up’ actor of sorts to practice alongside the main actor, in the case they need to fill in)? I thought, since Hetalia is a popular cosplay, especially this AU in particular, finding understudies wouldn’t be a problem at all. Plus, it would guarantee we would always have a complete set! That’s how I made sense of it.

Now, I didn’t expect everyone to agree, but it was still an idea worth keeping in mind, at least. Evidently, Oliver didn’t think so. She snapped at me for even thinking of such an idea and was all “don’t ever say again!” and I’m like Bitch, chill out. It was just a suggestion!

I forget about the incident for awhile until 2015, and Ikkicon both come along. I’m waiting in line with Matthew for our badges, when he says it.

“Feli, apologize to Oliver when you see her. ‘Cause that wasn’t cool. This panel/group is like her baby!”

Oh my lord. It was just a freaking suggestion. It didn’t help I was already irritable with other things going on during that time. Now they are going to dump this on me, too? It took all my self control not to snap!

And after that con, I finally ended up leaving the cosplay group. Not because I hadn’t started on my costume, or because of my con schedule, but because I disagreed with Kiku on a headcanon.

Yeah.

Because I didn’t agree with everyone else on some stupid headcanon, nearly everyone in the chat (sans anyone who was offline at the time) gained up on me until I finally snapped at them, told them off, and left. I got one last message from Oliver, but didn’t bother reading it. I blocked her, Francis, Kiku, and Ludwig on Facebook.

Think that’s the last of it? Think again!

Fast forward to A-Fest 2015. I’m having second thoughts about going because of last time. Matthew insisted I come anyway (mostly since I was rooming with him, and owed my share). Now prior to this, I was 90% sure he said he was going to come get me on his way to con. So imagine my shock when he says he will not be picking me up, but is picking up Oliver. I tell him off, decide I’m not going to con. But a mutual friend says they can come get me. I reluctantly, and regretfully, agree.

I end up spending little to no time at the con itself. Matthew got con plague on the first day (haha!). Half the time, I debated whether or not to call my mom to come get me and take me home!

After that con, I find out from Matthew that Oliver “has nothing against me” (as if!) and “wanted to talk to me during A-Fest” (yeah, right!). Unfortunately for her, I want nothing to do with her, or the fandom for that matter, anymore.

Now, I’m not saying everyone in the Hetalia fandom is bad, but these ones in particular really ruined it for me. I guess the only good ending here, is that I am no longer affiliated with those people, and have since found new interests with fandoms that are billion times better!

May I ask how any couple of hetalians you chose would react to when at a con seeing people cosplay as them?

America: “Hey! It’s me! And me! AND ANOTHER ME!”Alfred would be so excited! He would bounce from cosplayer to cosplayer and take so many selfies with them as he talked to everyone he met. He would be there for hours just talking to people and just being excited at the turnout. Alfred would compliment everyone’s outfit and ask them how to did it all as he would be just floored by the work they all put into it. Over all, he would be a happy mess as he hugs and talks to everyone.

England: “A-Are you…me? Why would you want to be me?”Arthur would be so confused at first as he saw other people dressed as him, though once he caught on to the idea of cosplay, he would be flattered. Of course, he would be flustered and hide behind a little grumpy facade, but it wouldn’t be real. Though if anyone had a cringey accent, it would make him frown a little, but it wouldn’t bother him for long. He would just like talking to people and seeing why they chose him. Warning: too many nice compliments may make him cry, happy tears, but still cry.

France: “Oh~ I love your outfit, mon ami~…Wait! That’s my outfit!”Francis would love the way they looked, even more so when he realized that they were cosplaying as him. He would look them over and judge their outfit before applauding them with a smile as they get an approval from Francis. Not to mention he’d take hundreds of pictures with them.

Canada: “I..I think you pull that off more than I do..”Matthew would smile at them and wave, probably take a few pictures with them and laugh nervously as he looks them over. For a moment, he would question whether they looked better than him or not. After a few moments, he’d come to the conclusion that they all look equally good. Matthew would talk to the cosplayer for a few minutes before going about his way, but feel good knowing that he made their day better.

Prussia: “HEEEEEEEEY!!!! COME HERE!”Gilbert would be so happy to see so many hims! It would make his life! He would be bouncing from cosplayer to cosplayer and laughing loudly as he takes so many selfies with them all. He would love to just see other people being loud and obnoxious, but most of all, having fun! He would be like a puppy as he just enjoys the moment and the attention, I mean after all, can anyone be serious with Gil around?

Remembering is Dreaming

An Austria/Spain fic for day 6 of aph rare pair week 2017, theme ‘Sleep’. I attempted to write something sadder than my usual things, but i couldn’t hep but slip some happier moments in too :’)

No major warnings, a minor sex reference, 1066 words and here on AO3 may be better font to read. Set sometime after their ‘marriage’ ‘officially’ ended. Precisely when you say? Good question…sorry I’m a terrible hetalian/shipper/person when it comes to historical details..!

Summary: Now Austria sleeps alone it is twice he must wake; first from slumber, then from memories. It does not do to dwell on what is in the past, after all.

It is to the sound of hushed voices that Austria wakes, arguing voices to be precise; although the tones are not loud, disagreement is evident in the way they cut across each other. This is somewhat strange, for such muffled sounds would not normally wake him, but this does not yet cross his mind as before any semblance of thought let alone deduction can commence it's pure feeling, of dark ire, that floods through him. His mind is furious at being pulled from its rest, eyes heavy and sore in protest though they have barely even begun to open.

Nothing is wrong that he needs to be disturbed with - he would feel so ahead of them all if this were the case – and as such he’s on the verge of going to give them a piece of his mind, citing respect and courtesy and are they not supposedly professionals?, when they are saved by a new person, their hissed words curtly silencing them all; soft footfall fades away, and it is peaceful once again.

Honestly.

“You are so cruel when you wake,” Spain would often tell him, warm body curled around his back, imparting the words straight into his ear lest he tried to pretend he did not hear.

Spain had come to know him too well.

“We cannot all greet the dawn with such open arms,” he might eventually respond, on the occasions when he mustered enough effort to propel the words from his mind into the open.

“Cannot, or will not?”

“Hush,” and he would be irked, if only briefly, to feel a familiar smirk curve into the nape of his neck, to see that infuriating yet enthralling glint in those green eyes without needing to look. “The day does not need us for quite some time yet.”

And sometimes Spain would indeed cease, letting him sweeten in peace, and other times he would not, finding pleasure in riling him up in his morning fog.

Even so, he always managed to forgive him.

(He would not have to, anymore).

The reality seized at his chest so, painfully reminding him that he lay here alone, but no - it would not do to dwell. He was used to this, their existence, as living breathing beings of history.

History moves along, and they must too.

He must rise now in fact, despite his bodily displeasure, for now he feels the true hour of the day in his bones. No wonder he had woken - it was rather overdue. The heavy drapes serve their purpose well in keeping bright light at bay, but too well, perhaps, for this is not the first morning he has slept long, undisturbed, without Spain to rouse him. So ornate they are too, almost brashly, but such was the persuasion he’d succumbed to; if his spouse were to share his quarters should he not have a say in the décor?

Personally, he preferred to save their finest for spaces where eyes would appreciate it, because they would hardly take notice in the dark, not least when they slept.

But then that was a curious thing about Spain; he could count on one hand the number of times he had witnessed him sleeping. No matter how much he tried to remain awake after him, Spain simply never drifted away first. Always full of tales to share, desires to reveal, for their future and also, the more carnal kind…he had wondered many a time if Spain ever slept at all.

Glory seemed to be his elixir, voyage and victory fuelling him through night and day, ice and fire, and all the seasons in between.

“Or perhaps it is you who runs in my veins, my husband - my love, my earth and soul, my-“

He had kissed him only to stop the endless spouting.

Don’t remember. The fonder the memory, the sharper the hidden thorn.

Perhaps it would be easier to be angry with him instead. After all, if it were not for Spain’s embracing of the early hours, his later waking now would not appear as he dreaded it must; tardiness. He suspects this is what the earlier commotion related to, whether they should wait for his call to be seen to, or take initiative to check all was in order with their liege.

Whoever had said to wait had been the wise one.

There is nothing of grand importance on the cards today, but he has duties, responsibilities, to attend to nevertheless. Even if it does seem a chore merely thinking about dressing, the garments upon garments this entails.

It had come across to him that Spain had relished such rituals. He took pleasure in preparing both himself and Austria alike for the world, adorning them with a touch (or two, or three) of gold and jewels here, newly tailored materials there, admiring their finished selves with a flourish of pride that truth be told, had seeped into his spirits also. Just look at us, he seemed to say as he held himself tall, turned to hold their gaze, unwavering.

“Look at us now,” he’d said full of bitterness in a dusk towards the end, sat on his haunches as they took seclusion beneath knotted bark and veiling branches, “at the whim of these mortals who always know best.”

“Don’t,” he’d said as softly as he could, Spain’s tone sinking like lead in his stomach.

“How can I not? You may have always said this would one day be inevitable, but still I did not expect this to be so easy for you!”

“Don’t you dare,” he’d hissed this time, “don’t you dare be like that, now.”

He could see him physically stopping himself, jaw clenching tight, restraining that mouth that was equally if not more than capable of being as cruel as he himself was so often accused. But not this time. It was all he could do to rest his hand upon Spain’s, hope it would convey what did not fit into words, to stroke the gold band resting beneath his own that was always so warm on Spain’s skin, as though it weren't soon to be removed.

That's enough he decides once and for all, throwing off the sheet, standing and stretching.

To the day ahead he must go.

He slips the ring off his finger and into its box, places it back under his pillow, until the night comes again.

To the Hetalians

Can I just take a moment to thank the entire Hetalia fandom? The fic authors, the fan artists, the AMV and fanmix creators, the theme and ask blogs, the casual readers and rebloggers, all of you. You make my fandom experience great. I’ve watched and listened to and read your work as a lonely high schooler, as an overwhelmed college student, as a homesick kid studying abroad, and now as a university graduate. You make my good days amazing and my bad days bearable. The songs you recommend make up my library, and your fanart is the reason my blog exists. I’ve visited actual countries because your headcanons made me curious, and I’ve re-fallen in love with the world and the fandom in the process.

Thank you, thank you thank you thank you. I can’t wait to see what more we do together.

#snarker speaks #hetalia fandom facts #I dunno #I'm just lying in bed laughing at another hetalia blog #and the feeling I get from it hasn't changed in the better part of a decade #I just had to say something

YO!

We have a character analysis on Prussia based on Hetalia World Stars/character songs/the anime (as those are the only things I have full access to)

Full script under the "read more”

Clapping Nasty! Thot! Turbo! Virgin! Chaotic! Energy! Clapping

I was dared to say all those things first thing when starting this video. Except that last one. That last one was my own doing.

Anyways, let’s give a quick overview of how this analysis is gonna work. First, we need to discuss what may be considered the elephant in the room to people in the Hetalia fandom who know me on Discord.

Specifically the people in one particular RP server I’m in.

We need to talk about canon.

Now in the past I’ve made a point of the importance of canon when representing these characters. And I stand by everything I’ve said in the past, just not the way I said it. See, I don’t think the people I’ve talked to about it really understand what I meant and that may be my own fault.

When I tried to push the importance of keeping true to what we know about the characters, I got hit with comments like “well I like to add my own ‘glam’ to the character” or “there’s not much about my muse in canon so where does that leave me?” and so on and so forth.

What I really meant by ‘keeping true to canon’ in Hetalia is that we shouldn’t purposefully go against something we know for a fact is true. Even though it’s really easy when there’s not a lot of material for the character in question in the first place, I just can’t understand the appeal of doing something like that. To put it simply, I fell in love with the characters for who they are, not for who I believe they should be.

This issue came up again - unrelated to the first time it was brought up - on tumblr when someone made a popular post about people being told they’re wrong for representing the characters of Hetalia in certain ways outside of canon because they were from the area in question and wanted their character to be more accurate to their culture as they saw it.

Which is a really complicated, controversial and specific to Hetalia discussion, to be perfectly honest. It’s still a great discussion to be had, though!

Where do we draw the line between cultural/historical accuracy and canon characterization? How do we decide what’s more important? When do we let one side win out if we let it win out at all?

These are all great questions that should be saved to be answered another time on another video and/or tumblr post.

For now, let’s just talk about the meaning behind the title of this video and then I promise we’ll get into the character analysis.

If any of my Dragon Ball fans are here, you’ll probably recognize said title from “This is My Goku” and yes I did it on purpose. I’m sort of parodying my own video because that one was so serious and fueled by anger, spite and hatred that it turned out pretty comical in nature. And this one is one fueled by happiness, positive energy and genuine curiosity.

I’m not here to prove some sort of point, I’m here to see how in-line my personal idea of the character is with how he’s represented in the most recent version of “canon” in Hetalia. (i.e; How well does my headcanon fueled characterization fit with the Hetalia World Stars comic strips that HetaScanalations has so graciously shared with all of us?)

A LOT of what we know of Prussia cannot help but be based on personal headcanons and popular fanons alike. He’s frankly not in the series enough to do a full proper analysis of his character because we only really see him in passing in pretty insignificant strips.

So while I really wanted to call this video “Hetalia Prussia Dissection” I can’t do it. I really honestly either don’t have the skill level or really don’t have the material to do that concept justice. So today we’re going to go into what’s canon and what my own ‘glam’ added to the character really is. (See what I did there? I have nothing against combining headcanon with canon, I just don’t like letting headcanon completely and purposefully override canon but again, that’s a topic for another day.)

So with all that said and understood, let us begin our awesome journey.

Okay so here’s the dealio, Prussia is a narcissist and we’re gonna go into the psychology of that in depth and talk about what all that entails and see how much evidence we have to support that claim in canon.

According to PsychologyToday which, to my understanding, is a credible enough source for quick glances into the minds of people, while having a superiority complex does play a part in narcissism, it’s really a feeling of fear of showing vulnerability that leads it.To quote; “The narcissist fears that acknowledging any weakness will allow someone else the chance to take advantage of him or gain power over him.” And another quote: “Simply put, true narcissists have zero interest in introspection or self-improvement. Their guiding principle: Never, ever let your guard down.”

Now, none of the Hetalia World Stars comics, the Anime nor the character songs themselves actually show Prussia being afraid of being vulnerable explicitly stating, but if we look at the symptoms of narcissism and his history, we can see, in my honest opinion, where that comes into play.

The DSM 5th Editions symptoms for narcissistic personality disorder as described by Leon F. Seltzer, Ph.D. on psychologytoday.com are as follows:

1. Has a grandiose sense of self-importance.

2. Is preoccupied with fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance, beauty, or ideal love.

3. Believes that he or she is "special" and unique and can only be understood by, or should associate with, other special or high-status people (or institutions).

4. Requires excessive admiration [regularly fishes for compliments, and is highly susceptible to flattery].

5. Has a sense of entitlement.

6. Is interpersonally exploitative.

7. Lacks empathy: is unwilling to recognize or identify with the feelings and needs of others.

8. Is often envious of others or believes that others are envious of him or her.

9. Shows arrogant, haughty [rude and abusive] behaviors or attitudes.

This particular author of this particular article goes on to add a few more traits and symptoms. Those being:

1. They are highly reactive to criticism

2. They have a low self-esteem

3. Can be inordinately self-righteous and defensive

4. React to contrary viewpoints with anger or rage

5. Project onto others qualities, traits and behaviors they can’t - or won’t - accept in themselves

6. Have poor interpersonal boundaries

This article began by stating that only five of these fifteen traits need to be met in order to be considered for having narcissistic personality disorder. So let’s take a I’m-discovering-writing-this-analysis-as-I-go dive into my notes of where all Prussia's appearances are with these symptoms in mind to see if we can name at least five instances.

Right off the bat in both cases with the first listed symptom and the first appearance of Prussia in Chapter 12 where he unifies Germany, Prussia considers himself the one that is destined to lead the newly formed nation of Germany as his older brother. This is the idea of self-importance. Basically he has the idea of “If I’m not the one to do it, then no one can do it properly.” hence his fighting with Austria (and I bet winning said fight didn’t help.)

So there’s one.

But wait! There’s more in this chapter!

That same instance of him believing he needs to be Germany’s older brother goes along with the symptom of entitlement. It MUST be him simply because it MUST be him.

So we’ve got two now.

“Is highly susceptible to flattery”. When I read that I knew exactly what chapter we were going to discuss. I literally wrote in my notes for chapter 294 “Prussia is weak to flattery” because in the beginning of 294 and the whole of 293, Prussia was arguing with his king Frederick I about how much focus should be put on clothing, but the INSTANT Frederick I mentions that Prussia would probably look cool in the flashy outfits, Prussia caves and goes to spy on France to see about getting said flashy outfits for himself.

That’s three~ Two more and we’ve got ourselves a narcissist.

Being ‘arrogant’ is defined as ‘having or revealing an exaggerated sense of one's own importance or abilities’ and if that doesn’t describe Prussia in literally all of his “I am awesome!” glory, I don’t know what does. It should be self-explanatory to any fan of this series that, yes, Prussia is very arrogant.

Four down, one to go!

Number two in our list of symptoms “Is preoccupied with fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance, beauty, or ideal love.” I BELIEVE this includes having constant daydreams about past glories as well as bringing them up all the time or when discussing said past glories, only discusses how great and awesome they were at the time.

Cough-cough - Prussia’s diary in 339 where he openly admits that said diary is mostly him saying “You are awesome” 20 times over.

And there we go. Let me know if you think of anymore instances in ANY official material that fits into these symptoms. I’d love to hear about them.

So with those five understood, it’s safe to assume Prussia is in fact a narcissist which - I know - comes as a shock to literally NOBODY but I figured it was important to actually pull up evidence for as opposed to just stating it as a passing fact and moving on like a lot of us Hetalians tend to do.

Explaining understandings of characterization is the fun part of character analysis, after all.

So let’s backtrack a little. Remember how that first article said being a narcissist comes from having a fear of vulnerability? Well, let’s go into headcanon and fanon land for two seconds as we read between the lines to find these signs of vulnerability based on the assumption that Prussia does in fact have this disorder.

Constantly in his official character songs, like “Mein Gott” or the Bad Friends Trio’s song “Overflowing Passion”, Prussia can be heard singing about how ‘it’s great to be alone!’ I take this to be a sign that Prussia understands that everyone is aware of him being lonely but he takes that understanding and turns it into a sign of ‘awesomeness’ as opposed to a weakness. He’d rather turn something most of humanity recognizes as a negative into a positive than admit to his own sadness. It’s the last thing he wants.

Let’s continue down this headcanon rabbit hole and talk about the wonderful Law 46 that was signed in 1947 after WWII and before the Berlin Wall. This is the Law signed by the Allied Control Council (France, America, Britain and the USSR) that stated that Prussia’s excessive militarism combined with excessive nationalism was too dangerous for the world as it was to blame for “repeated German pestilence” as Churchill put it.

Basically, this is the moment Prussia lost his nation and, in popular fanon, became East Germany.

There is no way on God’s green Earth that ANYONE is going to convince me that losing his nation like this - not just losing it in general but losing it to a piece of paper instead of a glorious battle that wiped his resources out - didn’t hurt and still to this day hurts Prussia on a deep emotional level. But do we ever see him talk about it?

No. And why is that? Because that would be a vulnerability.

See, I interpret Prussia as being my favorite type of character. The character that smiles and laughs and puts on a show about how great life is even though deep down they’re suffering from some serious issues whether it be trauma, negative mental health or just bad memories.

I know, I know, that’s not exactly a rare character type but I really don’t care, it’s still my favorite. It’s also not something that’s hard to see in real life. People will often hide behind a mask. We see it all the time in celebrities that people will refuse to ask for help when they are suffering because they’d rather everyone believe everything is fine for this that and/or another reason.

(Honestly though, can’t relate, because when I’m sad I let everyone know but that’s just a personal aside)

Getting off the narcissism train, let’s talk about something significantly less serious.

Prussia likes cute things and is attuned to nature. He’s constantly making references to nature like saying that it’s a great sign that even rabbits will prostrate before him in 299, saying “it’s cool like a wild little bird” in 293 and also mentioning how cute a little chirping bird is in his songs “Mein Gott” and his “Marukaitte Chikyuu.” Not to mention his image for his character profile shows him with a little bird on his head and holding a stuffed bear.

This ties in to both wanting to keep young ones’ innocence in tact as well as how in real life history, the German people had the most respect for nature at a time.

I have a friend who has taken multiple art history classes tell me that in German art there are often scenes of humans being lesser than nature that show how vast, beautiful and truly terrifying nature is.

As for Prussia wanting to help younger people keep their innocence, there is a chapter (chapter 187) where Prussia is reading Grimm Brothers Fairy Tales to a dying Holy Roman Empire (a character still portrayed as a child) and when questions arise like “Why would the witch be mad about Rapunzel’s clothes not fitting her and why would she blame the prince? There was no evidence of the prince bringing in food for her to eat.” he literally throws the book out the window.

He’s later, in the same chapter, shown to be writing the Grimm brothers asking them to PLEASE make the stories more actually child friendly if they’re going to advertise them as being stories for children.

So while in headcanon I imagine Prussia as not-shy-at-all about such things around other adults, it’s another story around children and those he perceives to be innocent. He canonically wants to preserve that cute nature of theirs and will do what he can to do such.

Random fun fact about the Hetalia character of Prussia; he gets really whiny when he’s hungover in chapter 32. He begs Germany to make him food and do other things for him even while Germany himself is also hungover. Also he says “I can’t eat things with faces on them” which woooo boy I’d hate to see what our cute-little-bird loving fool would think of Peeps.

Anyways, I think that’s about all I’ve got and surprisingly, we actually did have a lot to talk about with Prussia using mainly the comics and only partially headcanon. And it’s not even including the original run of the webcomic and manga since I don’t have easy access to those. And we didn’t really discuss the anime too much (mainly because it was just more of what we were able to see in the World Stars serialization).

Please feel free to continue the discussion in the comments. I’d love to hear/read more about one of my three favorite characters and how he’s perceived by others.

Random Hetalian Sayings

Your speech not Hetalian enough?

You wanna confuse the people around you with your Hetalia related sayings?

Well, here you go!

(warning, I’ve made up some of these, well, the majority, and some have been from the actual fandom, and yes, i’ve said many of these in real life...this is just crack, a siltpost XD)

"Shine bright like a Doitsu." - Are you a Doistuist?

"Become one, da?" - Let's be great friends, yes?

"Auf Wiedersehen, sweetheart." - It was nice knowing you, but bye.

"Something wrong, captain?" - Stay the frick away from my new friend.

"Nah, I'm fine." - Don't push me on my feelings. I understand that you care and want to help. I need to recover my bubble so that way I don't strain our relationship any more than what I've already done.

"Shut the frick up, you tomato idiot." - I like you, but sometimes you irritate me.

"USUK or FrUK or RusAme?" - I want to die in a Shipping War so I'm gonna start one.

"Make pasta, not war." - War isn't something I can eat and enjoy, but pasta is. Moral of the saying, don't start/make something that you and others won't enjoy in the end.

"Draw a circle, there is the Earth." - If you look at the situation as a whole and see how diverse and unique it is, you might be able to understand it better.

"If someone asks you to run ten laps or run away, do the laps." - Be thankful for the people and things you have. You don't know how easy it would be to take them away. You don't know how fast it'll be till they're gone.

"I couldn't clean my closet." - I couldn't let go of my past.

"I'll be waiting with a lot of sweets." - Come back to me, even if you're not the same.

"This is when the maple leaves turn red." - I've finally been recognized for my achievements and abilities.

"These are my Texas." - These are my glasses.

"Stop pulling on my curl." - Stop trying to turn me on.

"You're a German picking up a book about feelings only to realize there isn't a chapter about me." - You're overthinking about how my feelings work and overdid it.

"Your heliotropes didn't match with the tomato ring." - I had no warning and had no idea this was what you were leading with what you were doing beforehand.

"You're a Dutchman crossing the fusuma." - I didn't want to face this hardship but thank you for helping me through it because it was for my own good.

"It's two Hetalians walking into the world." - Don't let anything or anyone change the way you are. You are special even if you're different and weird. The reason why it says two is because there's always someone else that'll support you.

"It's a world ondo." - It's a rare moment of two fighting parties getting along.

"You took one bouquet when you needed two and now you're dealing with a wedding." - You weren't entirely prepared for the situation you were heading into and tried to make up for it only to be slammed with a whole new problem or just the unfortunate consequences.
