#hetalia thoughts

[the-nado-hunter]

Random Hetalia character head cannons/hc histories and characterizations that float in my brain but I’ve never written down - starting with England, America and Germany since I’ve thought about them the most lol:

England:

- Was the reverse of Alfred where he actually physically and emotionally aged much slower than most nations. He was barely not a teenager when he first took in Alfred (and his other “kids” by extension) when he was not at all ready/had even fully matured himself.

- I have a hc that nations who “get too big” (meaning the territory under their name grows) they kind of lose themselves and get less distinct and coherent in their motivations and sometimes don’t feel themselves at all, too many voices in their head so to speak. Unfortunately Arthur “lost it” during a pivotal part of his relationship with his family, hence all his strained relationships.

- Once he took on those responsibilities he suddenly jumped in physical age a bit. So while Alfred sees him as being SO much older (calling him an old man) his time in the nation equivalence of life stages was uneven and all over the place.

- it wouldn’t be until the 60s/70s/80s that Arthur had the time and ability to “make up for lost time” hence his musical and punk phases. He finds himself in some ways.., also likely dissolves into addiction problems at the same time.

- In the modern era he still has many anger issues but he’s a lot more calm and sure of himself, however he’s got a built up emotional wall and a whole lot of hidden self hatred that’s going to take a long long time to resolve, and he isn’t quite there yet and tends to lash out and push people away rather than deal with things.

America:

- He was very sheltered by Arthur at first, he was kept out of almost everything for most of his early life. If Arthur wasn’t present (which he often wasn’t due to the two having vastly different understandings of the passing of time) there were people hired and cycled out to take care of him. He can’t help himself though, even if he’s being treated like a sheltered little prince he wants to go run free in the fields and get into shit. He’s basically a Disney princess in his early life is what I’m saying lol.

- reality hits him like a ton of bricks when he’s roughly looking/acting about 14-15. He realizes likely through being exposed to other nations starting to come in and managing to slip out to talk to people just how much has been hidden from him and the resentment grows. And he starts REALLY growing even faster.

- Despite all that he went full on into a “fight” coping mechanism and never stopped. He put on a “mask” at one point in his life and it hasn’t come off. He’s never really deeply dealt with anything so he progressively seems more and more obtuse and seemingly arrogant to overcompensate for not wanting to face any sort of pain.

- He’s deeply deeply lonely and desperately wants closeness and to open up- yet at the same time the idea of seeming “weak” or “vulnerable” is terrifying to him. Him and Arthur are more similar than they would like to admit with how they mask and push people away despite really REALLY needing love and closeness.

Germany:

- it depends on if you accept the “Germany is HRE” theory or not, but either way I tend to think they at least have the same body but might be different entities or ‘spirits’ so to speak. That being said I imagine Ludwig specifically not only was “born” into a body that was preexisting and therefore already past a decent part of childhood, I imagine that his body was at first incredibly weak, frail, and he was very sickly for quite some time.

- I’ve written a fic about this, but I personally hc Ludwig from about 6-15 years old in appearance being almost completely unable to walk and needing braces and assistance to get around. His brother obviously loves and cares about him, but Ludwig couldn’t help but feel frustrated and like a burden. He really does look up to his big brother and is worried about being weak and reliant on others for the rest of his life.

- Ludwig GETS his strength, and as soon as he’s able to walk on his on he becomes obsessed with being as strong and capable as he possibly can be. He wants to never have to rely on anyone again, feeling an odd sense of guilt for needing so much help.

- he’s, in the end… kind of socially inept. Gilbert isn’t exactly the pinnacle of a socialized man himself - So despite being mostly independent and capable he doesn’t really understand social situations, or how to understand himself and others. Feliciano is both jarring and someone I think he becomes interested in him because Feli is capable in something he never has been and really is teaching him a lot.

- Unfortunately Ludwig had in face overcompensated for his past feelings of being a burden he’s taken so much on and has become such a protector that he’s almost unable to set boundaries and say no to requests to take on extra work- malicious or not.

- we already know Ludwig tends to explode and bark directions at people, to me it’s always been a clear sign of how much stress he’s under- but he winds up just appearing scary and he once again takes on more responsibilities and feelings of “something must be wrong with me”.

- i think many in the fandom have joked about it but Ludwig to me is SO repressed and SO gay it’s not even funny

-I would expect poor Ludwig to hit a breaking point and have a nervous breakdown eventually, which I do want to write at some point, just gotta not procrastinate lol

I JUST HAD THE SILLIEST IDEA :D

Hetalia exists in the Hetalia universe, but wait, there's more.

It's made a very popular manga series because it's basically satire, but wait, there's more.

The comic gets animated, but there's this big debate on whether to include linguistic differences. Ultimately, the animation company is like "fuck it, dub everything in japanese" but wait, there's more.

When the english dub comes out, a certain nation gets interested in a new and fun idea. but wait! there's even more!!

The nations all come together and make a 'fandub' of hetalia, but everyone speaks their own language. It turns out not being so bad. in fact, it's the most popular in-universe version of the show itself.

i call this: HETALIACEPTION

Hetalia as Imposters Among Us Part 1

Canada: (Would make a great liar and barely noticed)

America: (Would make a great liar. He can sabotage reactor and oxygen. He can find a spot and sneak up on a victim, either with lights sabotaged or not. He’s not the best taking out Britain)

Japan: (He is calm. Thinks before he acts. Great at sabotaging lights, and using vents to sneak up on victims, sneaking up, and swiftly killing victims while they are alone. He also does not put his foot where his mouth or would denounce something to make him a suspect and give himself away. )

(Japan can kill someone quickly right on the spot. The best way for Japan to win is to kill the crew as fast as possible. Great at the poker face and has a fifty-fifty)

Russia: (Would be great at sabotaging the doors, lights, comms, reactor, and sneak up and kill other players. He is also great at killing witnesses, whether he is a crewmate or imposter, he is mostly smiling so it is hard to tell, if he is a crewmate or imposter. He may not be accused in the first place)

Britain: (Would be a great liar and can kill his victims while they are alone and can story tell)

China: (Would be great at sabotaging the lights and using the vents to sneak up on victims while they are alone. China can quickly kill someone right on the spot, and may think of a nice lie once in a while, a fifty-fifty chance a fine alibi)

Hetalia among us weaknesses

America: (Weakness: He could blurt out a give away or his moody face might be a dead giveaway.)

Japan: (May be too silent. It is rare for him to think of a fine alibi right away. It may take him a long time to even think of an alibi or a fine alibi)

Russia: (May be a little silent, even though he speaks more than China and Japan. Once he is accused, his alibi will not make him any less of a suspect)

Britain: (America is his weakness. America is the one country who annoys him. If America suspects Britain, he will be keen on finding spots, or watching security, collecting other crewmates to catch sight of Britain near a dead body. America tends to surround himself with other crewmates)

Canada (Is watched by America protectively and suspiciously. If America suspects Canada, he will use an ad hominem or attack the motives imposter accusations, tease to appeal to the other crewmates, or elicit Canada to expose himself)

China: (On the other fifty-fifty chance, he will give a terrible lie. He may be silent. If the suspect is part of the Asian family, he considers them his child [and will vote himself out thinking, he is being a noble father] “Goodbye son, I sacrifice my life for you.”)

              (I’m Chinese and I can tell you many of us are too frank or too crafty)

"You just didn't read hetalia deep enough to understand it" - sorry, I am not specialised in all aspects of shit, or as we say in Ukraine, вибачай, на сортах гімна не знаюся.

Random Thought on Nation Deaths

Ya know how the nations are immortal? And death is less “horrific, deep, and massive tragedy” and more “minecraft falling down a ravine and loosing 64 cobblestone”?

Do ya ever wonder if and what the nation's more funny or weird deaths were like and how many times they've happened?

Like yeah they almost certainly died of say bubonic plague or got blown up in a war by artillery or some other major grand scale and pivotal event in their history

But what I mean is all the more random and inconsequential stuff

Like maybe, Romano getting smoked by choking on a tomato and only N.Ita knows and teases him about it because "how did you die to a tomato lmao"; Or like France being overdramatic on a rooftop in Paris after his breakfast got burnt, leans on a rusty guardrail he kept putting off maintenance for, and learns why that was a bad move as it just falls he splats on the ground and thus loses his favorite morning gound

Just random kinda stupid stuff like that that can happen when you're immortal and regenerate/respawn from death as easily as you do in Minecraft

Spain is unstable in a sexy way (keep him away from sharp objects he will kill something)

[arnikaaa]

They just appear one day with no knowledge of who they are or which country they represent until someone tells them.

They could go most of a regular human life without knowing, until they realize they are living for a suspiciously long time…

Ok, here's another one for yall:

What's your headcanon for how the nations were born/created?

What do you think America’s middle name is?

I’m curious since I’ve seen people give him the most random names, from Alfred Fucking Jones to names that are actually plausible like Alfred Franklin Jones.

So, if you want, let me know what does the F. stand for in your opinion
