[peonycats]

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.

[margraviate-of-headcanonburg]

Hi, I’m Margrave, and if canon is usually a ball of yarn and the fics are the cardigans, then the Countryhumans fanon + Hetalia canon are sheep whom I have sheared and spun their outer layers into my own combined, entirely handmade yarn.

My personal universe of hcs is more like a mash-up of CH and Hetalia traits, though I’d never watched or read hetalia canon up until just recently (and only clip compilations). When I was 12-15 I was hyperfixated on CH, but my interaction with it was limited to wattpad and youtube. Out of the inevitable following history and geography hyperfixations I created my own universe, which was then heavily influenced by some Hetalia blogs over here. 3 years later some songs just pulled me back down into the thick of my CH world and now I’m here to make it everyone else’s problem. If this stuff actually garners interest then perhaps someday I’ll make a masterlist of my great city of Headcanonburg. If you wanna know more than don’t be afraid to ask :D

‘FC’ = First Citizen, the title that al of the nations hold in their countries (equiv. to calling leaders ‘president’ or ‘PM’)

Wheeeee

🍓 ⇢ how did you get into writing fanfiction? 

Tbh you think I'd remember but I really don't. I have vague memories of making Pokemon OC's but wasn't really introduced to the concept of fanfiction until my older sister got me into Hetalia and I found out about it while looking up fanart. I think I've discusses it before, though, that I didn't feel confident writing full-on fanfic for the longest time because I was too terrified about writing characters OOC. Idk what exactly made me get over it, maybe GG just instilled enough brainrot I couldn't help it

🔪 ⇢ what's the weirdest topic you researched for a writing project?

See I dunno about 'weird' but I've done a lot of random shit I never thought would be relevant until I had to go look for it. Hard to objectively say what was the oddest so I'm just gonna make a list of some off the top of my head

-(I've repurposed a surprising amount of my learnings from mortuary for anatomical and medical reference)

-Giraffe/horse autopsy

-Introductory guides to Jamaican Patois

-"Can bats get polio"

-"Common clothing of Nepal"/"Common clothing of Tibet" (notable in that it ended up being relevant for half a paragraph)

-"Cheeses of Bhutan"

-"What is the highest proof alcohol you are legally allowed to buy"

-Profanities of numerous languages, including sign

-"How old are children before they can pronounce 'x'"

-Brazilian cryptids

-"least flammable bed fabrics"

-Treatment and recovery time of a PCL tear

-Step by step guides for kimono-wearing

-Bone throwing as a form of divination

-Adult clubfoot treatments

-"what type of video is security camera footage"

-"autoimmune diseases caused by stress"

-psychogenic stuttering

-how to replace/modify a clutch disk for a stick shift

-French homicide law

-Pyretic drugs

-LOTS of fish biology

🍬 ⇢ post an unpopular opinion about a popular fandom character

Probably in part due to oversaturation, but Bridget is just...kinda boring. I find her concept and story endearing and sympathetic, of course, but she doesn't have the same kind of complicated themes and bizarre lore that engages me like a lot of the series' other characters to the point where I can delve into it and get on that level of brainrot.

🦴 ⇢ is there a piece of media that inspires your writing? 

Can't simply say 'a.' I feel like I take a lot of bits from a lot of different stuff! I find I like to try and find 'weird' media frequently, though, I like seeing the bizarre concepts people can cook up and wonder if I'm not thinking outside the box hard enough. Likewise for horror, to a lesser extent

🥤 ⇢ recommend an author or fanfic you love

hweeeehhhh why do you always give me the tough ones. There's some really obvious picks, you and Jim and Roy and Crow, but I've probably done you all like three times already! Easy picks

Lemme see, if I wanna try and do something a little different than the obvious, I do have a couple recs! For anyone that's into Psychonauts, I totally recommend BabyCharmander (ESPECIALLY 'Cavity,' do not read anything else before you go into it, reading it for the first time hits you like a truck to the face) and The_Angst_Alchemist (Particularly if you're a Thorney Towers fan, they write the inmates with such panache and easily some of the best interpretations of Fred) It's a little more niche, but if you're an ARMS fan I recommend anything by MeltyMetroid, for a series that has such little lore they've written several incredibly fleshed out and well-constructed longfics (I'd recommend 'DisARMed' and 'Broken Mirror' for the plot-heavy jaunts and 'The Brass that Saved Christmas' if you want a good laugh)

Admittedly in general I don't pay as much attention to specific writers as I should, or the series I look for stuff for is so niche it doesn't really have dedicated writers

[eruverse]

Is there an unpopular character you like that the fandom doesn’t? Why?

I think all characters in Hetalia are well loved, they just tend to be divided into niches. For ex: North America, Europe, Baltics, Iberian bros, UK+Ireland, Latin America, ASEAN, Yugotalia/Balkans, Lusofam, micronations etc etc. I think it’s more apt to say that some characters just have more fans for obvious reasons.

If it’s about minor characters who don’t have much fans, I think that would be countries that have no canon portrayals yet. Mongolia is not canon but he is plenty popular, so I’m going to say the whole Central Asia, Russian Republics and Bhutan lol (I want to see Bhutan).

[ask-aph-bangladesh]

[ 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! ]

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.

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.

Welcome to Planet Earth

As you saw in my description, this is quite literally an ask blog for personified countries. It's a big mix of Hetalia, SATW, and countryhumans (BUT HOPEFULLY A WHOLE LOT LESS OFFENSIVE), I guess? It's influenced by different stuff I've seen.

(also, I am Kai, this is a different blog of mine. Pls, when you send asks make sure to phrase them well- I have trouble interpreting people. AND NO NSFW ASKS! These dudes are countries and that's just weird to me)

Anyways... You can submit asks to the characters listed below. There are also American states! I'll probably also be posting my own stuff about them when I have enough free time. I don't have every country ready to go, I'm still slowly collecting knowledge, so here's the list of my characters below (all the unmarked ones aren't complete, but still have enough character to answer asks):

Africa

-Angola -Mauritius (complete)

Americas

-Canada -United States (complete) -Jamaica

Asia

-Bhutan -Japan (complete) -Kazakhstan -Mongolia -North Korea -Philippines -South Korea (complete)

Europe

-Albania -Austria -Belarus -Belgium -Denmark -England (complete) -Estonia -Finland (complete) -Germany (complete) -Ireland -Italy (complete) -Kosovo -Lithuania -Northern Ireland (complete) -Norway -Poland -Russia -Scotland (complete) -Ukraine (complete) -United Kingdom -Vatican City (complete) -Wales

Oceania

-Australia

Other (Territories/administrative divisions/Whatever other junk)

-Antarctica -Svalbard (complete) -Sealand (complete) -Inkeri -Republic of Karelia

US States

-Alaska (complete) -Arizona -Arkansas -California -Colorado -Connecticut -Delaware (complete) -Georgia -Hawaii (complete) -Idaho (complete) -Indiana -Kentucky -Louisiana -Maine -Maryland (complete) -Massachusetts -Michigan -Minnesota -Mississippi -Missouri -Nebraska -Nevada -New Hampshire (complete) -New Jersey (complete) -New York (complete) -North Carolina -North Dakota -Ohio -Oklahoma -Oregon (complete) -Pennsylvania -Rhode Island -South Carolina (complete) -South Dakota -Tennessee -Texas -Utah (complete) -Vermont -Virginia -Washington (complete) -Wisconsin -Wyoming -Washington, DC (complete)

You can also submit asks directed at me if you're confused on something, want to chat, or have an interesting fact to tell me (please do the latter I love learning stuff). You could also ask me to research a state or country so I can add them to my list above.

[flyingsassysaddles]

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!! 👍
