#APH Bhutan

As the largest black bird in the world, with its lustrous black plumage and a raucous voice, the raven is seen as a symbol of power, mischief, mystery, wisdom and intelligence. Yet, it is in Bhutan where the raven is given its highest place both on the royal crown and as the national bird. The hallowed status of the raven in Bhutan stems from its association with the raven-faced deity, Legön Jarok Dongchen.... A wrathful deity with a large raven beak, Legön (or the Lord of Action) is one of the many forms of the chief dharma protector Mahakala and, as his name suggests, is known for effectiveness and speedy activity.

5 nations that have a fish as a pet

Seychelles - She just loves fish. Like, if she could, she would totally have an aquarium full of them, however her boss said no.

Mauritius - Has a similar reasoning to Seychelles. Plus, they're cute and he can't resist cute animals - they're his biggest weakness.

Australia - He just has a lot of pets tbh. And no one is sure where he got the fish from - Was it from a pet store or the beach? - He won't tell.

St. Lucia - She enjoys looking after fish as she enjoys the sense of responsibility it gives her, and is very prideful of the large collection of fish that she has.

Jamaica - He has a fish, and brings him to meetings to prove that Seacole is still alive to the other nations of the Carribean.

5 nations that would not have a fish as a pet

Liechtenstein - She just doesn't think they'd survive in her climate, and so wouldn't risk raising it there.

Belarus - She just doesn't really see the point in fish. Especially as she is more of a cat person - So wouldn't her cat just eat them?

Nigeria - He prefers to eat them rather than look after them. Enough said.

Uzbekistan - Like Belarus, he is more of a cat person, plus alive fish just kind of freak him out.

Bhutan - Has simar thoughts to Nigeria.

Is there a habit of yours that other people find odd?

“It’s not like it’s a bad habit! Checking things several times more than necessary can be a lifesaver sometimes!”

[ Ya Allah - a more respectful way of saying ‘My dear lord’ in Islam.

Also special appearance featuring Bhutan! ]

The Wang-Mishra Family

I answered an ask on this a while ago, but here it is again in more detail:

Yao and Harish got married just after Yao turned seventeen, since they’d been dating for years, they were young and immature, and they didn’t have such a great relationship with their families. They’re now in their mid-thirties. Between them they look after a lot of kids.

When he was twenty-two, when he was still undertaking his studies in Ancient Runes, he was put in charge of caring for his half-brother Pandara Rajapaksha who was just five years old at the time. Two years later, he and Yao were also put in charge of his cousin Kamala Thapa, who was then six-years-old.

A few years later, when Yao was twenty-five, they adopt Borey Kim whilst they’re on a holiday/work trip (Harish wanted to study the arithmancy techniques in South-East Asian magical cultures, since he wasn’t yet a Professor – he was pursuing the wizarding equivalent of a Masters, and since none of their kids were in school yet they just took an extended jaunt around Asia). Borey was five years old at the time. It was also during this holiday that they met and became close to My Cơ Vương after she helped them out when they had some trouble with their wizarding passports in Vietnam.

Harish earned his wizarding Masters (or something like that), and they returned to England when he was twenty-eight, but before they left Asia they adopted three more children – the twins Khamdara Saechao and Kasem Jingjit who were six at the time, and Jigme Lhaden, who was nine.

They pretty much figured that this would be it – by this point they had amassed six children, which seemed like a pretty good number. When they got back to England, their eldest, Pandara, was 11, and started his first year at Hogwarts. Yao got a job at St Mungo’s, whilst Harish got at first a job at a large library in London, and they moved into a flat in Camden, which – even with expansion spells put on it – was something of a squeeze. The kids switched between a kids day-care at the hospital, or going with Harish to the library so long as they were quiet.

By this point, Pandara was 11, Kamala was 10, Jigme Lhaden was 9, Borey was 7, whilst Khamdara and Kasem were 6.

Then, Yao is unexpectedly handed over custody of two of his cousins, Kha Lung Ho and Siu Chun Kwan, who’d been raised separately, and who were 6 and 4 respectively. Since it was either that or they went to an orphanage, Yao and Harish accepted even though it made their living arrangements even more cramped.

A family member arranged to drop them off in London, and to Harish and Yao’s shock, they got three kids instead of four, since another family member basically saw the opportunity to get rid of their child as well – Bi Seng Lim, who was five. Yao and Harish were surprised and a little annoyed that they hadn’t been forewarned, but took Bi Seng anyway, since her parents obviously weren’t suitable.

Since the old Arithmancy professor retired, Pandara convinced Harish to apply for the job, and he was accepted. The year after Yao got a job as an assistant mediwizard in the hospital wing, and they moved to their cottage.

By the time Pandara was a fourth year, Kamala and Jigme Lhaden were also in school, and despite having nine children, when a friend they’d met in Asia happened to mention that he knew of two children who were in desperate need of a home, they decided – after a big family discussion – to take them in, and when Pandara was 31 and Yao was 30, they adopted four-year-old Samir Mirza and one-year-old Ayesha Akhtar.

They also host both Yong Soo Im, Khulan Tsagaanbaatar, Tenzin and Soe during the summers, since they don’t really have any other place to go, and are often visited by My and her sister Lien who live in London, and Harish’s distant cousin Fatimah and her cousins, especially since Jenaida is a close friend of Borey and Yong Soo. Although he’s not particularly sociable, and has a slightly tense relationship with Yong Soo (and therefore Jenaida), Yao is also working on getting Kiku to stay the summer with them. Finally, although she lives in Dandong and doesn’t often visit the UK, Yong Mi Park also has an open invitation.

Okay I ADORE this?? Like first of all I love the effort put into the dynamic poses and clothing physics, esp for aph Myanmar?? Your art has grown SO much and it totally shows!! Plus your oc's designs are so interesting and I love the diversity, tho i don't know if I quite agree with the skin color of Bhutan (too light for a country that is fairly high up generally has a similar skin color to Tibetans). Overall I love it and can't wait to see more!! 👍

NEPALI AND BHUTANESE HETALIAN NEEDED 🇳🇵🇧🇹

So we are making a discord group chat where we try and gather a South Asian Hetalia fan from each South Asian country.

At the moment, we already have an Indian, a Pakistani, a Bengali, a Sri Lankan and a Maldivian. However we are trying to make a complete set by requesting for one more Nepali and one more Bhutanese (we are aware that finding a Bhutanese Hetalian would be rather hard).

So if you happen to be a Nepali or a Bhutanese Hetalian feel free to DM me and I can send you the discord link.

If you are not Nepali or Bhutanese but happen to know one we would appreciate it if you could give them this offer and they can join if they would like!

Note: we only need two more members since we have one person from each country.

Thank you! 💖🇳🇵🇧🇹

❗️UPDATE❗️ We now have a Nepali Hetalian so one seat left for Bhutanese!

India and his neighbours

India is surrounded by Bhutan, Nepal, and Bangladesh to the North East, China to the North, Pakistan to the North West and Sri Lanka of the South East coast.

[ So this is my Bhutan design, I just drew him today but I’ve been developing this babe for a bit. I feel that him and Bangladesh are really close friends, like bffs basically or something more

Bhutan was the first country to recognize Bangladesh’s independence in 1971 and the two countries have had strong relations for a while now. I might have him appear on this blog from time to time, so keep a look out! ]
