harry dubois would end death note in one episode. he'd be unkillable bc he has no fucking idea what his name is and then he'd go drink driving and accidentally run light over and the killings would mysteriously stop

Louis IV, Holy Roman Emperor by Anton Hoffmann

[empirearchives]

Y’all look at this set of Napoleonic playing cards I found by Philipp Otto Runge, early 19th century.

They depict figures from the Napoleonic era including famous military figures and women wearing really pretty empire style.

The first one is supposed to be Murat.

132 - Canon For Whom (preview)

A child who looks like Holy Rome appears and brings back memories.

Cw: it's a tad bit painful 🥲

Another work by Kobu! (Yes, I do have permission.) This one's like $40+ so I don't think I'll ever be getting it haha but it is tempting bc this looks so good, highly recommend reading this preview 😫

And I just bought Vague Empire, the one yall voted for! Looking forward to receiving it!

This one hurt me...

The rest of the preview features the past with Austria and Hungary, and even further back in the past with Austria and Switzerland; but I can only post 10 pgs on mobile and I mostly just wanted to tl this part anyway.

Hetalia, but add Onion headlines.

[3liza]

a looooooooooot of American leftist perspective on what is good or possible with basic policy about land use, recycling, public transit etc is so fucked up purely because we are completely unaware that much of Europe has been doing stuff we consider pie in the sky laughable dreamerism (like effectively and safely going home from shift work or from a nightclub at 3am on the subway, or recycling anything instead of strip mining a mountain every time we need to bottle beer, or turning vacant office buildings into apartments, etc) for decades or centuries.

you do not find out about it unless you're fortunate enough to visit and stay long enough to actually interact with the infrastructure, not just as a tourist, because likewise the Europeans just assume we can take buses everywhere or get 25¢ for a beer bottle and simply choose to live in suffering and profligacy out of simple American degenerate preference for driving cars and smashing bottles until an American tells them exactly how bad everything is here, which they can hardly believe

"Who's your favourite character in Hetalia?" oh the one with blonde hair and blue eyes

I've been looking at a lot of face family fanart lately, as well as some Tomato Gang fanart. I did notice that, for the second one, there wasn't as much fanart of in the Western fandom (but there's a ton in the Japanese fandom).

That made me wonder, which Hetalia Family/Group is the favorite of the Western fandom?
