I translated this chapter for a few friends on a discord server, but since I don't see a translated version online yet I thought I'd post it here! Please enjoy this new special chapter of Hetalia World Stars, Gangsta! (That's really the title) I'm really sorry if there are typos, the grammar is wrong or if it seems low-quality and unprofessional;; I did my best to get it across!

If you are entering the fandom here's are some words of advice and warning- 99% of the fans stick to their own fanon interpretations and its better that way usually, most of the good canon stuff are the more recent things (don't read the super old stuff its not good), and the fandom is still bad and far from perfect but it's better than it used to be and is trying to be better (tho thats not saying much) Other than that enjoy your time here

*steeples fingers, glasses do the Gendo Ikari thing*

So what you're telling me is that I can pick out an aesthetically pleasing combo of blorbos and mash them together with abandon. No don't correct me I must think. Perhaps I have been... too hasty.

(also I'm sure better people than me have made all the good heta-fandom jokes by now)

(thank you anon for another lovely ask)

Hetalia World ☆ Stars - Chapter 509 Original

Translation: spaghettifelice // donamoeba Scanlation: nekotalia // eosonera

(2011) baby austro-prussian war lud (click for fran+pru)

that's... 1866, before the unification (1871), before the north german confederation (1867). the german confederation is way too back, 1815, congress of vienna—psst, the hre was dissolved in 1806.

does hima use 1848 (or little after) as lud's birth year? or more like did, this hws chapter that shows his birth after the austro-prussian war was made years later (2014): does this count as a ret-con?

i still think that the GER48 joke could also be a reference to 1848, besides being a joke about a j-po.p band.

more of my thoughts: while born surrounded by his brothers in canon is cute, i like [vague hc] him shooting prussian soldiers in 1848 lmao, going to find pru later, perhaps around the time of...

https://www.britannica.com/biography/Otto-von-Bismarck

...meanwhile, 1871 is perfect for him being born as an actual baby, not with an already existing body of who knows who (lmao)

I just read this post on 2010s nerd culture and I feel like it's probably referring more to late 2010s as well as a very different side of nerd culture than the one i'm familiar with.

Cause like... to me nerd culture and fandom has always been... not quite the same but very very connected. So to me early 2010 nerdom was singing les mis aloud on the street. It was grey-painted teens spotted in down town. It was hetalia fans just cosplaying at the park. It was recognizing anime fan merch (**FAN** MERCH!) on people's bags and being like "I'VE SEEN THAT! I RECOGNIZE THAT!"

And honestly there was nothing more genuine and sincere than that.

And there's something to be said about the fact that the major defining fandoms of that era were hetalia, homestuck, nightvale, and superwholock. (Marvel and HP were there but they stuck around longer and aren't specifically 2010s.) We all cringe at a lot of these but 3 of those listed started as indie works. And superwholock was NOT A THING marketing wise, fans on tumblr just organically decided to... respond to everything with gifs from 3 unrelated fandoms consecutively. (Contrast this with Barbenheimer, which was also started organically by fans, but the marketing team of Barbie deliberately leaned into it to milk the hype, which incidentally ended up causing controversies in Japan.)

Most of these fandoms were almost entirely fan-driven. Homestuck and Hetalia fandoms had a LOT of fanfics of fanfics. Most Hetalia fans barely even watched or read the source material. (For the better, in this case.) Fans of these fandoms owned more fan-merch than official merch, and were really... fans of fans. Fan works were often based on other fan work. This is a sharp contrast to Star Wars fandom which came both before and after.

This was also when like... anime fandoms got really big but fans were watching fansubs and reading scanlations. So you had all these fandoms that were most definitely considered nerdy and very passionate, but wasn't really making anyone much money. (Besides a few indie creators and big name fans.)

Nerd culture, at that point, despite growing mainstream, was still counter-culture for the very aspect that they weren't market-driven. They were fan-driven.

I feel like it's really when it got closer to 2020 that both fandom and nerd culture became a lot more market-driven. I think we have MCU and Netflix to thank for that. If you look at Barbie, which is a decent movie, the "fandom" was completely propped up by viral marketing before it even came out. You get this with AAA games too, see Cyberpunk.

So like... I'm hesitate to call umm... the majority of 2020s media fandoms nerd "culture" nowadays. And if, by nerd culture, you mean gamers who line up for PS5 and star wars fans with graphic tees, then... idk if that's quite... correct. Once our attention has been SEO-ed there's no real... culture. You know. Like... the "cultural" part of it simply isn't very there if participants=consumers. And that's perfectly fine for people on an individual basis! I don't mean to revoke anyone's nerd cred or shame anyone personally for participating in consumer culture in a consumer society, I'm just being pedantic.

People still nerd about yarn and crafts tho, and DND. I think those areas has never stopped being nerdy.

you don't have to answer if you don't wanna but i wanted to ask: i remember back in the day you did a lotta hetalia doujin scanlations... whatever happened to the masterpost you had on your blog before+are the contents of it still accessible somewhere else?

Hey. Yeah, sure I remember, I had so much fun!!!!! I dunno where you can read the smut doujins, which were deleted after the porn ban, but the rest are still here: categories page.

Do you still remember when you and nyo america still were best friends in imperial Russian era? Did you find her annoying even back then?

Actually as a RusAme fan I love to see Imperial Russian - USA as best friends like you said and...annoying is not really how I choose to describe a best friend lol (though maybe you could say annoying but endearing at the same time for a best friend haha)

But yeah I'd love to see Hima portray Imperial Russian - USA bestfriendship more in depth / in more serious tone lol.

But I guess this is the best we can get (for now) for that:

Ivan bypassing Arthur's naval blockade to America:

Ivan volunteered army to America:

Basically it's clear hima shows Ivan supports Alfred's independence from Arthur, though it's unclear if he thought of him as annoying back then. Sorry if this is not the nyotalia version but imo you could change Ivan to Anya and Alfred to Amelia and it will be the same (at least in my opinion bc history should be parallel between canon and nyotalia version)
