Why is official APH France an underrated character?

Today, I would like to repost a post about France that I wrote a long time ago. Please note that this post does not reflect my current views. Next, this is considered my personal blog, so if you disagree, please click back. And this post will only talk about what I (used to) felt about France in the official version, not exactly the France in my current headcanon and fanfic (even though that is the foundation for today).

.

[This post is controversial and has a personal opinion. If you disagree, just skip over it. But also because this post is mainly to express my secret thoughts that I don't dare tell anyone, so it's completely hypothetical]

Okay, this is a post about why I like APH France, and why I don't see him the way most people see him.

In short, because his aura looks very bright and when he smiles he is very cute (like the photo below).

I wonder when I fell in love with him, because it's been so many years, I can't remember. I will never be able to remember exactly how I fell.

Yeah pretty sure when people first watch Hetalia everyone thinks he's the typical sweet badboy, some people even say he's ex f^ck boiz and I'm no exception. But... damn, the more I follow this guy, the more I see his stereotype being wrong.

At this point it should be noted that when I talk about APH France, I am talking about France from 2011 onwards. It must be clarified that in the early days of APH, Hima's expression was quite dark. Maybe at that time Hima drew APH to be satirical or something, so not only was the plot quite ironic at times (and a lot of times he was sarcastic wrongly) but also the characters he built were very... But c'mon, MORE THAN 10 years have passed, just 1 year is enough to change people's way of thinking, let alone 10 years. Not to mention, APH does not have a specific plot or spirit to be consistent from beginning to end, so the later APH compared to the first APH has a completely different atmosphere and attitude, otherwise I want to say that APH has almost transformed into a new shape and only takes the first period as the root to develop. APH later became much gentler, lovely and brighter.

(When I wrote these lines, I still liked APH so I still defended it. Oh, what beautiful old days)

And I'll say it straight out that I didn't like the early APH. I also didn't like the way Hima built his characters in the early stages.

Okay, back to the main point. France is a very special character in APH. Why do I say France, not Italy - the central character, Germany - the king carrying the team, or Japan - the artist’s mother country? That's because when I read the early APH comics, I had a pretty clear feeling that the artist didn't like France.

It's not that he hated him, but he didn't like him and looked down on France a bit. Not to mention that Hetalia is strongly influenced by America's point of view and men often dislike France, think that French people are sissy. Basically, back then the way this artist looked at France was no different from the way everyone make memes "the white flag is the flag of France", "France is useless", etc. It was like everyone feels that this guy is very perverted, very annoying, very colorful, like a vase and can't do anything else. But like I said above, more than 10 years is a long process. Although the entire APH series does not have a consistent plot, Himaruya had a "development" in the way he views the main character he created. Partly because this is a series that takes references from real life and is not completely fiction, it is completely understandable for Hima to change the way he builds or even the perspective of his own character.

That's why later on France had a few solo episodes, all the deep emotions were attributed to France - something that is very contradictory to the "dark humor" stories he drew about France in the beginning. I don't know if it was to "compensate" for Himaruya pushing France down too much before.

Anyway, that's about the background. Below I will list the reasons I like this character:

- As for the character's personality, as I said, France has a very bright aura. I'm not talking about literary history or French reforms in real life, but just in the main story alone, I can see that there's something very... intelligent about him. Not trivially clever, but intelligence like, knowing a lot and understanding deeply. The fact that he is sharp and intelligent is also confirmed by the strip where he holds a knife to Prussia's neck and laughs.

- Then there's the emotional aspect. From Jeanne d'Arc to Napoleon, it is completely obvious that France is a very emotional person, a bit childishly attached to those he loves. Yes, that's right, he always says "I'm the big brother of Europe" but when he's with people he loves, he's EXTREMELY childish, likes to act spoiled, likes to attract attention (For example, he was cheerfully excited when he was with Lisa or was chased by Napoleon).

- France's way of expressing emotions is very vivid. When he is angry, he will say that he is angry; When he feels sorry for himself, he bites the towel; If he likes attention, he acts like a clown;... but never once has he lost his temper to attack others just because he was hurt. I mean, from all the symptoms I've seen in France so far, I can determine that France can be arrogant, picky, and difficult to please, but I've never once felt like he lost control of himself.

- Yeah sure, when he broke into England's house, was talkative, wore a pink dress and had eyelashes, you can see that he no longer has any shame, but I like people like this. Funny, optimistic and extremely confident.

- He really likes to care and take care of others. This is based on:

1. He is very attached to his previous bosses (as mentioned above),

2, He cooks very well, people who like to cook and cook well are people who like to take care of and see joy from others,

3. On America's independence day, he not only patted America's head but also gave him the Statue of Liberty,

4, Italy often confides in France. France also works as a newscaster giving love advice to others, and he is one of the few people who not only is not afraid of Russia but even comes up to ask about the other person's health,

5. Do you remember the Christmas episode where England called and scolded France? That evening France was alone and looked down at Paris. In the episode about a soldier meeting France and wondering about the life and death of the nation, the ending is also a scene of France sitting and watching the flow of people passing by. France is not only proud of himself, he also loves being close to people and

6, I didn't include this but if you want to take an example from APH in the first few years, there is this scene: when England was so sick, France was really panicked and worried. Even without bringing a romantic perspective here, for me it is a genuine concern between human.

- He is mean, meticulous, and profiteering. Damn him. I don't understand how he can play with Spain. One person remembers that people owe him every penny, one person "Huh? Do I have debt? When did I owe it??"

- Actually... sometimes this guy's EQ is unexpectedly low, especially with things related to England. I don't know how, every time England shows a little interest in him, he always "?:D huh? What's going on? You're planning something with me, right? Let's get to the main point, why are you rambling on?". I don't know how many times Mr. Kirkland has sighed at this guy.

- He is only mean to other countries, but to ordinary people he is very gentle and loving. With women, he has distance but is not impolite.

- It looks radical but is actually extremely conservative. In fact, no matter how much his country reforms and changes, he always seems to be somewhat attached to the monarchy, always recalling his past. Not to mention that he is one of the oldest men in Europe, and he is always nostalgic for previous bosses. As an old man and a secret royalist, it can be expected that France is quite a conservative person.

- That's why the aristocratic blood is deeply ingrained in the personality. Except when he is in a joking mood, every scene of Hima drawing France always has something quite aristocratic. Not the type of strict and meticulous aristocrat like Austria, but the type of guy who wakes up and carries his messy hair out into the street but still looks beautiful.

- France has "an iron fist covered in velvet". He seems very easy-going and pleasant. There are many cases where others just need to beg him a little and he will give in. But in the cases where he said no, it meant no. When he is serious, he is very decisive and does not compromise. One time America broke down and asked for a drink, but he firmly refused (Yes, the fact that America doesn't know how to drink alcohol has been confirmed in official). When he met his idol's reincarnation, he disappeared completely after talking, leaving his idol to live her own life. When he collects debt from others, he is also very decisive LOL.

- He is very beautiful in a feminine way. Beautiful in a feminine way to the point of having to grow a beard and body hair to make people feel masculine. I bet he has endured sexual solicitation from old men.

- He has a lot of part-time jobs, from waiter to announcer to stylist. Was hired by England to be a chef at his place for a while => didn't go to work because of lack of money, but because he was multi-talented => liked to go on strike probably because he was "tired of being too good", because he is afraid that the world is not chaotic enough, because he is bored. He's not lazy, because if he was lazy he wouldn't go to work so much, and with his great body, I think he works out quite hard at the gym.

- Sometimes he's quite silly and weird. America just has a childish personality, but this guy is sometimes inexplicably euphoric. He cares too much about auxiliary things like clothes and hair accessories, but forgets about the main things. He argues with people about silly things. When he fights with people, he asks where the fabric comes from to make such beautiful clothes instead of focusing on fighting. When people asked his opinion, he always talked off topic. When people criticize him, he looks away, covers his ears, and whistles, "The weather is so beautiful today." He also raises dozens of silly birds.

In general, this man is not what he appears to be. He looks like a typical Don Juan but in reality he's mostly just an embellishment, seems mature but actually has a very childish temperament, seems to be sociable but is the type of person who can restore his own energy and doesn't need too much human attention. He doesn't seem to care about his appearance but is actually very proud. He seems heartless and shallow but is actually a thoughtful person. He likes to talk off topic, collect debts, drama queen- no, drama king. Extremely crazy and silly.

This guy's mind is so contradictory and complicated that the more I dig, the more interesting things I find.

And that's why Francis Bonnefoy is loved.

Ps: let me tell you a little about the Zodiac: Francis is a typical Pisces.

screw it. i'm not a coward. detailed miitopia crossover blorbo cacophony poster i drew last summer be upon ye

anyway here's my beloved stinky miitopia party, i've been building up a crossover story in miitopia since i first played the game many years ago, and as my interests have evolved, so has my cast for every replay. (i have genuinely lost count of how many times i have replayed this game)

i'm cringe but free etc etc.... sayaka/lissa/alfred aka aph america have been here the longest (my legacy blorbos, if you will) and are always on my endgame team, so they have immunity. everyone else has been loosely swapped around until it's settled into the form it's in now (and it still might change when i get obsessed with miitopia again). the town/story npcs are not as important or consistent across playthroughs, they're easily swapped around with random characters i find in mii central. the only exception is the great sage, whom i've drawn here. i also think waluigi is my new main dark lord, since he was my first thief before therion entered the picture. never actually drawn him though

cirno is my main protagonist because she is my ultimate legacy blorbo. in my loose story adapting this adventure i like to think she gets the elf class as a mandatory story beat like an fe lord during the arc where the whole gang is getting back together in karkaton. (elf design here is kinda bad, i swear i had a design doodled of it in my sketchbooks but i couldn't find it so i had to improvise)

i had three other "travelers hub" characters in the mage/imp/princess class but i never got around to drawing them because to be honest my miitopia resurgence kinda faded once i finished these drawings........ but i'll get to them too! all these designs are either loosely based off of existing outfits in the game or ones i straight up pulled outta my ass lmao

i really wanna write fic for this ngl

[council-of-beetroot]

thoughts on the aph micronations?

I'm sorry anon, ( I'm pretty sure who you are) my problem is when i see a new micronations design i think "this could be real countries this could be Central Asia or Latin America!" I don't really get them

Could you imagine what would have happened if Sealand ran into Poland instead of Lithuania in that one episode? 🤣

[small-angry-turtle]

heyhey, i noticed you commenting “that checks” and expressing surprise that the flags are correct on the montero post— im op of those two blogs, and im ukrainian and polish american :0 (first gen)!! a good amnt of research (and understanding from my own cultures) goes into those blogs. glad you appreciated it! also, i really appreciate the affirmation! a lot of people deny the jewish history in central europe, and years ago id been vagued and msged on anon to stop making jewish central slavs…. which was strange to me, as although i understand the history of the last century (and the pogroms beforehand of course), as a jewish eastern and central euro slav myself that was always what was most authentic for me to create.

so i just wanted to thank you for seeing a post set in a shtetl and not freaking out, basically.

have a swell rest of your day!

- adéla and jaro mun :D

Im glad I made your day. Something in me (because Im ill rn) thought to search aph Slovakia on Tumblr and here we are.

Im Hungarian Slovak, so my relationship with Slovakia is... complicated. I was born and raised here and thankfully, there are not so big differences between Hungarians and Slovaks nowadays.

I´ve just recently found out that surprisingly large amount of culture and history is between Jews and Central/Eastern Slavs. If there´s anything you guys deserve, it´s recognition. Our profesor told us that before the WWII, every person from Prešporok/Pressburg/Pozsony (nowadays Bratislava) knew Jewish songs, holidays and cuisines. Now my dad doesn´t even know what Hanukkah is. The knowledge is recovering, but slowly, some many people are ignorant about other religions and cultures. Even after 30 years, we still learn the Soviet version of history, which is a shame.

It was great hearing from you, hope your ancestry won´t be forgotten! So many places in America were touched by Slavs and many don´t seem to realise that.

Happy holidays

September 15 || 15 de Septiembre

Another year, another celebration!

Feliz día de la independencia to Costa Rica and the rest of Central America!

[wherearemyglassesbro]

Do you have any headcanons for the Central American countries in hetalia like how they look like and they’re personality’s ( don’t know if your taking requests) I live in Honduras and I hope it becomes Canon

I do have thoughts on what they could look and act like! And before I begin, when I took Spanish classes we discussed culture in South and Central America but we didn’t go into detail so if I get stuff wrong please let me know!! I don’t want to misrepresent anyone’s culture :’)

ALSOOOOOO I finally found my post from a few months ago where I talked about this!!!! Yes!!! I’ll add on so think of this post as part 1!!!

https://www.google.com/amp/s/wherearemyglassesbro.tumblr.com/post/617134414900641792/any-headcanons-for-south-american-countries/amp

^^here I talk about Miss Brazil, Miss Chile, Mr Panama and Mr Bolivia :) (yes I know it’s South American countries not central but I still wanted to attatch this post ;-;)

https://wherearemyglassesbro.tumblr.com/post/617049481701212160/if-you-could-put-any-character-into-hetalia-what

^^And in this post I talk about a handful of other South/central American nations too!!! Jamaica and Mexico uhhhh I think uhhhhh another island, idk I didn’t read the entire thing I saw Jamaica and went THERE WE GOOOO!!! Lmao :)

ANYWAY!!! BACK TO THE ASK!!! (I like to think of a lot of south/Central American nations as women because there are just...so many men...)

Honduras: Miss Honduras is another very strong woman. She lives on her own farm where her neighbors come to work with her. They don’t work FOR her, they work with her. She turns on some music and they all chat while planting veggies or feeding chickens. She’s very proud of her farm!! She plans on giving this farm to her neighbors soon, she loves doing that. She makes a farm successful and passes it on to humans who are nice to her so they can be successful and enjoy the farm themselves :) she thinks that it’s important to treat humans with respect, many nations think they’re better than humans. She thinks humans are better than nations because they have such big hearts :) she’s a woman of few words but she is one hell of a storyteller. She’s written successful books anonymously and she goes to schools to read to kids. She’s just a great role model :)

Belize: Mr Belize is....short man...big temper. He’s the Central American equivalent to Lovino except he’s more stylish than Lovi (shhhh!!!!!). He literally has no reason to be angry all the time but he just finds things and rolls with it. It’s too hot. It’s too cold. His back itches. His eyebrows are uneven. His soup isn’t spicy enough...he’s the one who made it. Other than his temper being a big part of his personality, his musical talent is something to note!! He plays the guitar and drums. All kinds of drums, bongos or rock n roll drums or steel drums or any kind of drum, he’s played it. When he starts to feel disconnected from his people or when modern problems are causing him too much stress, he escapes to visit the ancient temples in his country or to go hang out with elderly people because he feels like he can relate more to the elderly :’) Miss Mexico gets on his nerves cause she’s kinda like an annoying older sister but he puts up with her...cause she often sends him chocolates or candy when he’s in a bad mood. Which is all the time lmao

Nicaragua: Miss Nicaragua is a party girl! She loves modernity because of how parties can happen and music can be so loud. She is a trained stilt dancer! And hella proud of it. She makes her own dresses or costumes and dresses up for every festival, even if it’s a minor one SHES THERE AND SHES READY TO PARTY!!!!!! :) other than her loud, boisterous personality, the public doesn’t know much about her. When she’s not out for fun, her people don’t really see her much. She lives on the west coast by the beach where she lives it up in her small house with her dogs! She fishes for herself and her elderly neighbor. She also travels by bike!! She has a car but prefers to bike when she can. She only really uses her car when she’s doing Government Things...ugh

Costa Rica: Miss Costa Rica is a very tall woman!! She is very laid back and spends a lot of time reading in her home. When she isn’t at home, she’s out and about on the town! She is somewhat a shopoholic so she hangs around markets and shops often so she’s got a lot of buddies!! She lives outside of San Jose, she wants to live in the city but uh...tourists. She isn’t a fan of tourists to be honest. She thinks they’re taking advantage of her country’s beauty but she would never actually say that to anyone. So she lives outside the city in a fancy apartment complex! She could have a house if she wanted but she doesn’t want to have to manage all of that space lol. She enjoys reading, dancing and singing!!! She goes to see traditional dance shows or festivals as often as possible and helps out by singing or dancing with the dancers! She wants to make costumes or traditional clothes but...she’s embarassed to say that she’s not too great at sewing 0-0 she has multiple skirts at home that are shoved under her bed that she tried to make but they just don’t look right!!!! So embarrassing lmao poor girl
