#Hetalia lore

[hetalian-veteran]

I know there are fans out there who feel like Alfred F. Jones should speak exclusively with a Southern accent, but I like to think that he only slips into a Southern accent when he is either talking to people from the South or legitimately pissed off.

The reason I think this is because I grew up with a mama from South Carolina. And while her accent has sorta gone away after leaving the south in her early teens, it does occasionally come back during these three instances:

She's talkin' about her childhood home in South Carolina.

She's talkin' to her kinfolk from South Carolina.

She's nervous about somethin'. This often happens when she has to speak in front of a large crowd, like at church.

WHEN SHE IS ANGRY AS ALL HELL AND THERE AINT NOBODY SAVIN' YA!

I kid you not, anytime I heard my mom's southern accent as a kid, I knew to tread carefully; because there was a 50/50 chance she was probably angry lol. It's even gotten to a point where I myself will occasionally, and unintentionally, speak with a Southern accent whenever I'm agitated or upset. As well as when I speak about the south in general. (I like to call this my "inherited accent" lol).

But yeah. Can you imagine our boy Alfred getting super fed up and steamed during a meeting and shouting everyone down in the thickest, most furious-sounding southern accent you've ever heard?

Because I can. And it looks, and sounds, positively beautiful.

I like thinking about what a check-up at the doctor's would be like for a nation. Like they get their knee hit with that little reflex mallet and the doctor is like "hmm, yes, something is up with the railroads in the south."

No but fr it's probably exactly like a normal physical except the doctor has to take into account the state of the economy or politics or any recent natural disasters. I feel like certain symptoms are like this:

Blizzard/cold wave = low body temp, mild frostbite, hypothermia in extreme cases

Capital crisis= cardiac arrest, fast pulse, high blood pressure

Disease outbreaks = whatever disease is widespread

Drought = dehydration, dry and flaking skin, rashes

Economic troubles/recession = common cold/fever, lethargy and fatigue

Flood = vomiting, kidney issues

Famine = malnourishment, hunger pains, eternal hunger

Earthquake = convulsions, dizziness, muscle cramps

Heatwave = heatstroke

Hurricane = dizziness, nausea, vomiting, shortness of breath

Political unrest = dizziness, nausea, headaches, stomach aches, mood swings, high blood pressure, auditory hallucinations, psychosis if severe

Tornado = dizziness, confusion, nausea, shortness of breath

Tsunamis = vomiting, dizziness, muscle cramps,

Volcanic eruptions = severe burns, high fever, coughing smoke, shortness of breath

Wildfires = burns, sometimes actual fire is visible, coughing smoke

And if there are any fatalities, other symptoms will show up depending on the death toll. symptoms such as PTSD, nightmares, hallucinations, and a profound sense of loss.

So I think a fairly well accepted take on nations is that their animal companion gains the same immortality that the nation has for being in constant close proximity of them.

I propose that this also applies to clothing, furniture, paintings, homes, etc. Anything that fills their homes, their daily routines, and the same space as each other.

The degradation process is extremely slowed.

They're not indestructible but natural aging won't completely deteriorate these items held so close.

Museums are grateful for their touch of presence helps the items keep just a little longer and catch an extra gleam of youth.

In times of hardship, the items begin to show glimpses of the years that have really past.

Hi, can I request the darkest fantasies of yandere axis members?✨️

I love how you sent this 10 min after i started posting. I love you for it btw, you are now the subject of my yandereness. Congrats! (lol) I will also do the 2ps just for you:D

Anyways here are the fantasies!

1p Germany/Ludwig Beilschmidt

So wants someone to be like a yandere towards him as well, in the bedroom preferably. Basically he wants to be loved like he loves, and he wants to be so secure in the relationship that he can give up all control in the bedroom sexy times

1p Italy/Feliciano Vargas

He wants to let go of all that holds him back and have the trust of his darling for free use basically, this doesn't mean he'll do something you have as a hard limit, it just means that he can do what he wants when he wants and you'll be eager and willing, to a certain extent of course. He doesn't want to really hurt you though

1p Japan/Kiku Honda

He knows this one isn't realistic as he doesn't have magic but he really wants to try to live out hardcore hentai scenarios like tentacles (he is in control of them)

2p Germany/Lutz Beilschmidt

The thought of having someone so devoted to him they would encourage him to kill anyone who looks at his partner is really hot to him. And then ofc fucking them so hard they need medical care while still loving it and begging for it.

2p Italy/Luciano Vargas

Blood, he wants to do all sorts of unspeakable things with blood, period blood, normal blood, doesn't matter. Though never to the point of a blood transfusion unless his blood is compatible and being used for it. The thought of you with his blood is a major turn on. But if you tried to leave him he'd do it if you don't have the same blood types, so you can never leave him

2p Japan/Kuro Honda

so i think for him and a childhood friend it would be to give each other a bit of your souls. Binding you forever, akin to soul mates, meaning that you can keep each other alive with this connection and all sorts of crazy things. And yes reaching out to touch the other's soul via this connection can be very pleasurable and is also part of his desire. The dark part of this is that he will basically own you, as he is proficient in soul magic, a magic anyone can do regardless of other magical abilities, also the hardest form of possible magic. He is so possessive that he wants to effectively own his partner for all eternity, woooo

Some Lore lol

so i haven't touched much on the magic system in my version of this world, but soul magic is what keeps 1p Prussia and 1p Romano alive, as their brothers unknowingly share a part of their souls with them, making that as long as the brother lives, so does said "should not be alive" country

Kuro knows this magic because he's an opportunist and he has a Katana blessed by the gods and it can take his victims souls (including his own, which is why he's super protective of it) and it powers him physically, making him dangerous as fuck. He's the last person you'd want to fuck with, and most of the other 2ps are not aware of this because he keeps his most powerful card a secret. He's not seen as a super powerful 2p, in reality he is one of if not the strongest, this comes through through many aspects, such as a high intelligence, tactical knowledge, charisma, and soul magic.

Random thoughts on Gilbert because uni's been keeping me busy and I haven't gotten around to drawing/cosplaying in a while:

I think modern day Gilbert differs quite a bit from how he used to be (somewhat?? supported by canon??). Taking the historical context into consideration and the oftentimes extreme ideals of religious devoutism, masculinity and imperialism surrounding him at any given time he was probably not doing very well back then. Who you could be as a man was (and still is in many ways) restricted to narrow and often unrealistic standards. What I envision is him being inconsiderate, traumatized by war and lashing out at other people because of what he's done and what he has endured.

Modern day Gilbert has finally healed and processed some of the things he's been through.

Adding on this: not saying he was always some brute, I do think he had his sweeter and softer side as evidenced by Gilbird being around in earlier comics and Gilbert even making him clothes around the 18th century ish???

This takes place pre the Napoleonic Wars I believe, someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Anyway he's always had a "less manly" side to him in the form of empathy for smaller creatures and how nurturing he is to them (and Ludwig/HRE).

That brings us to my next idea; I think Gilbert had a wake up call when he suddenly gained a younger brother who depended on him during some tumultuous times. It was then he realized he couldn't go on as he had and made efforts to become a better person, for Ludwig's sake. He did not deserve to endure the same, harsh conditions Gilbert had endured at his age, and perhaps he finally realized just how damaging it had been to grow up in a strict, fanatical and militant environment that did not allow you to be different. Now I don't think he fully just drops it all and moves on, we do know he values hard work and is a bit of a perfectionist still and romanticizes his past somewhat, but I think he improved upon these practices and developed a more healthy way of being.

Now onto the immortality stuff. Sure, in reality the personality changes in this series happened because Hima developed the characters and got rid of some cringy/insensitive/problematic traits. I do however think you can make a case for it making sense in universe as well. The unhinged Gilbert we meet in the beginning of this story shows up around the mid 1700's during the War of the Austrian Succession. At this point he's already been around for at least 500 years. That's half a fucking millenia! What I propose is that you won't always cope well with immortality, and that he at this stage is pretty badly bruised by time and memory and experiences far beyond that of an ordinary person. Since we do see nations older than this act relatively fine I propose that it can be a bit of a make it or break it point for them, but that they usually find their footing again.

A totally sane and normal Gilbert about to commit a war crime by executing an enemy who has surrendered. Also showcases a surprisingly dark side as mentioned before. (Battle of Grunwald 1410)

Really taken out of thin air, but given how many kingdoms subsequently dissolved as a result of the unification 1876, you could make out some grim implications for the Hetalia universe. These nations are dead as far as we know, or at least faded completely into obscurity. Given that Gilbert and Roderich arr the only ones that make it out of this (history nerds will know that the Großdeutsche Lösung never happened, so Roderich can presumably be removed from the picture) one has to wonder what that implies for Gilbert. Was he chosen to remain? Would everyone truly be ready to die for this? It's a bit muddled and we probably won't receive any answers anytime soon, but it is possible Gilbert signed their death certificates and never looked back, even though he refers to the other Germanic nations as cousins or brothers. Eerie stuff.

Anyway! Modern day Gilbert, as we see from later comics, is a bit of an unemployed used-to-be. He marvels at long Furbies and oftentimes just appear to provide commentary, rather than play an active role in what's happening. So I reckon he's calmed down considerably (perhaps also due to unspecified health issues associated with the dissolution). While he still is eccentric and boisterous he is not as actively involved as before.

Fearsome Teutonic Warrior pathetically pleads for breakfast he could definitely make himself. Right after this Ludwig offers him leftover marzipans and he throws a small fit over it, saying he "can't eat things with faces because he feels bad". LMAO (unspecified modern day setting around New Year's Eve)

And yes I'm sorry to say it but we have to face it. Gilbert is at best slowly losing his immortal powers, at worst actively dying. I think it's genuinely troubling that he's shown actively giving things of sentimental value away in a comic dealing with this topic, as if he isn't expecting to be around for much longer. This comic also hints at the HRE=Germany thing being something he might provide a closure for, as he is the one who watched over a "dying" HRE.

Gilbert suspiciously being reminded of HRE and then giving away an item he previously prescribed sentimental value.

Gilbert lies about his injury. He knows this doesn't bode well and is keeping it a secret (for now).

This has been haunting me for years now and Hima just left us hanging, but I'm also in the ASOIAF fandom and I WILL wait 14 years for a conclusion if I must.

This death might be bittersweet and not entirely tragic, though. Hear me out. I think Gilbert, having lived as long as he has and enduring so much in a lifetime, might be exhausted. As long as he is certain Ludwig will make it without him I think he will go in peace. Will still sob uncontrollably and scream like a banshee and kill Hima before killing myself though.

Anyway Gilbert the blorbo the squinkly the scrongly my number one beloved I just wanted to ramble about him

So like knowing how nations work in hetalia is it possible that someone has tried establishing a micronation in the hetaliaverse to manifest a country boyfriend

haaai gaiz ive been collecting these sort of pages for my personal nefarious purposes and i Believe i have them all here so i will share because they're a bunch of really good cute references

[italyveneziano]

"But maybe I can tell you now? Actually, I wanted to be with you, too. I wanted to escape with all of you..." "Yes. So do I."

Drew one of my favorite HetaOni scenes because the rest of the game reveal left me with a lot of feelings about it 🥲

so there’s this game i’ve been playing recently-

[forsoobado137]

I like to wonder what types of Wikipedia pages would be written in the Hetalia universe. Like obviously each nation would have there own dedicated Wikipedia page, but would there be separate pages dedicated to phenomena and maybe some scandals?

There would definitely be a 'List of Unusual Deaths' but for nations. Something tells me that China and England would be frequently featured on that list. China because he's very old, and England because he's both arrogant and doesn't give a shit anymore.

Or maybe the Jones-Braginsky effect, where it talks about what happens to nations in space. Maybe France has had so many police altercations during protests that there's an entire page dedicated to it (and the infobox image is a sexy mugshot).

I wish I knew how to make fake Wikipedia article images because I swear I would be pumping them out every 30 seconds.

My headcanon for this is;

Nations can understand every language but they speak in their own languages. So, they can talk with each other without needing for a language in common to communicate and without losing the self-uniqueness.

(self-uniqueness; like, think about it: random nation speaking random language other than its own one/ones. Seems a bit absurd and unoriginal to me. Would you rather Japan speaking in English or JAPANESE with you when you can understand both. Now i made it clear, did i?)

But my perception of hetalia often talks about nations having extraordinary powers [intead of being more humanly]. So, if they really need to speak a language, they can also speak. Child’s play for them.

They just know their language totally, they feel the most comfy when speaking in it, and there’s no such language barriers for them.

You know what? I use this headcanon on my fictions. Of course, writing and reading a fic with dialogues containing several languages is not really possible. So i just explain the hc in the prologue episode/description part and leave the rest of it to the reader. 👋

What language do the Nations speak in Hetalia?? Do they speak a common language that only Nations speak or a language that has or had influence many countries? Like do they speak Latin or something? I’m guessing they speak English, but it wouldn’t be shocking if they spoke any other common language.
