Iceland: Alright, what pizza toppings should we order?

Vinland: Anchovies and pineapple.

Helluland: I like beets!

Markland: Have you guys ever had a cheese-less pizza?

Iceland: I’m disowning all of you.

Who would be America and. Canada biological dad or mom

I don’t think America or Canada have a biological parent. Greece and Egypt are the only countries I can think of who have canon biological “moms,” but they don’t have a dad because chibi nations seem to spring out of the Earth fully formed and are not born the same way human beings are. The Italy brothers have a grandfather, and Germania is Prussia and Germany’s grandfather, but there are no mentions of fathers or mothers for the Italy or German siblings.

America and Canada seem to have been formed by European colonization in modern-day America and Canada, and America and Canada inherited some physical traits of all the European countries around them at the time, but not in a literal biological sense. French influence is why America and Canada don’t have the Iggy-brows and probably why Canada was given longer, wavier hair than America (to reflect stronger French influence). America’s face strongly resembles Finland’s, and Finland points this out in a strip with young America.

I’ve gotten an ask regarding Vinland as a possible bio ancestor for the NA bros, but I don’t know if Vinlanders had enough of a national identity to merit a Hetalia personification. I do know that a generalized “Native America” OC being portrayed as America and Canada’s mother is wildly inaccurate and offensive. Native Americans come from a variety of different nations with different cultures and languages, and the pre-European contact relations between different Native American nations were just as complex as the relationships between different European nations. Individual Native American nations could theoretically be personified in Hetalia (like a Cherokee or a Navajo OC), but I don’t think they would be biologically related to America or Canada. Since America and Canada were literally formed by European colonization, it would probably be offensive to depict a Native American character as their parent. This is not to say that Alfred and Matthew, as characters, would not care about their Native American people or possibly have some positive interactions with personified OCs of individual nations, however. (For example, I could see America and a Navajo OC working together to develop codes for secret messages during World War II.)

America’s adoptive father was England, and Canada’s adoptive fathers were France and England, who both had a role in raising him at different times. They had parents, but not biological ones.

The blonde child glared at the tree line, something was there and he was happy with it staring at his brother and himself. He pulled his younger brother closer by his dress and the boy toddled over and held onto the blonde. The former Viking child glared and slowly made his move to stand up keeping his younger brother close.

[hetalia-nordic-north-america]

I see America and Canada went with the cross whereas the Vinlands decided to go be a disgrace with Greenland.

[ask-the-arctic]

Hey look, she's not alone anymore! Now we have an official design for Vinland and Greenland! These are "snapshots" of them, if you will, from around 1000-1100 AD, which is why Greenland is dressed like that.

Edit: I forgot to mention! These are rough sketches, I’m going to go back and refined them/clean them up. Also there’ll be a third addition to the party in the final post👀

Some info about them under the cut

Vinland

She's around 10 years old, very tall for her age (roughly 144 cm)

She wears a large cloak to cover her whole body, she's just more comfortable that way

There are design reasons for it: The large cloak and crazy hair are supposed to help sell the idea that we can never really see the full picture of "Vinland" as a settlement. Underneath the cloak is a very ornate outfit, even by the standards of the time, that shows the rich history the settlement most likely had but we will never see

Her brooch has two bits of jasper on it, as jasper was found in the walls of the church found in the area where Vinland was most likely located

She has braids EVERYWHERE in her hair. But it's so thick, that you'd only see a couple at a time

Personality-wise, she's very shy and always has this worried look about her

Whenever she's missing her family, the Scandinavian trio, and also Iceland ig, there is always a convenient gust of wind to add to her wistful look. Greenland is confused and kinda jealous about this

Greenland

He's around 14 here, clocking in at about 157 cm in height

The hair curl represents the fjords all over the east coast and is also a reference to the migration of people from Canada

His parka has strips of wool adhered to it that have been dyed blue. This represents how the island of Greenland was shared with the Norsemen by the native Inuit people. It's also a call to how Vikings would adopt aspects of local cultures into their own culture

Greenland is a very intense guy and takes everything you say seriously. Almost to a fault

One time, he parted his hair down the middle because he noticed how common it was amongst the men. When an older woman noticed and complimented him on it, basically calling him a "Handsom little guy." he never changed his hairstyle

He wants to grow his hair out longer and is kinda jealous that Vinland has such long and flowy hair (He gets there once he's older, don't worry)

It's hard to see due to his thick clothing, but he was actually very thin here. At the time, Scandinavian settlers were having difficulty with their crops and the land was slowly becoming harder and harder to cultivate due to their interference

Both of them

The two of them get along fine, but they never had much time to hang out before Vinland disappeared

Greenland would occasionally go over to her place to visit and spend some time on the mainland (in this case, North America)

There's not much to say. They didn't have enough time

[ask-the-aph-nordics]

Yes

[cryptophasia-nabros]

Not the first time I've seen the Nordics as their parents in Cardverse, or in general.

previous king queen and their sons.

[ask-hetalia-jones-family]

Do the other nations know the states exist? If so, how did they find out about the states?

“In short,” Alfred started.

“Only Gilbert knows anyone beside Alfred exists and a personification in the US” Jeffery finished.

“BUT,” Jonathan declared, “a few are on the dead republics’ case! It’s pretty sad how none of them have realized the grave yard still leek around expesially since they are right in their face most the time when they are in the US”

[95jezzica]

Do you have Headcanons about Finland and Sweden's relationship with America and Canada?

Yes, but to be honest I go a lot back and forth between them since I can't decide on when I believe they (Canada and America) actually "popped up". Especially Canada.

It's a popular headcanon in the Hetalia fandom that Canada used to be Vinland, however brief that period of time might have been, but that also means it'd technically makes sense Norway would be his biological father. Or as close as biological as nations can get anyway. - However, Norway has such strong Uncle Vibes in my head that I'm honestly not sure what to do with that. That, and I really like Sweden as a father figure for them over Norway...

Some people also imagine Canada to have "popped up" later though, such as with Novia Scotia and/or closer to when the French arrived. Either way there's no denying both hws Canada and America seems to have been influenced a LOT by the Nordics. Canada essentially has Norway's eyes and longer hair, Denmark's hair colour, glasses like Sweden and a weird mix between Norway's and Sweden's personality. Meanwhile America seems to have a mix of Finland's and Denmark's personality, Den's and Swe's haircolour and Den's eyes. The path to independence from their older brother figures also have some similarites between Sweden's and America.

It's also canon for Hetalia that (hws) Sweden and Finland were the ones who first found (hws) America. They were the ones who found him, but Sweden got injured by Netherlands when he (and Finland) tried to adopt America. (It's after this that hws Finland goes and talk/complain to France and England that Netherlands kicked them out.)

Sweden and Finland also have a lot of later history with USA and Canada, and in Hetalia it's canon America confessed he wanted a father figure. Finland offered to be his father and told America he'd even grow a beard when America basically told Finland that he might be able to see him as one if Finland looked older. x)

However, no matter what I or anyone else see Sweden's and Finland's "biological relationship" to be with the NA siblings in the future, I do believe Sweden and Finland would be great mentor figures.

I strongly believe Sweden and Finland, together or one by one, would be great stable figures in the NA's siblings lives and a more neutral party to show them the ropes of the nation world. It's obvious America and Canada still care a lot about both England and France, but there are always going to be things you don't want to ask the same people who raised you/ once witnessed you run around butt-naked because you threw a tantrum about clothes.

*(Cough)* With all said, you asked for some headcanons, SO!

.

- Finland and Canada have regular hockey practises with each other. Sweden sometimes join as well, but despite how much he loves the sport his eyesight makes it difficult to join during its' worse days.

- America once challenged Finland to paintball, at that point not knowing about Finland's history of sniping. America learnt his lesson the hard way after a crushing defeat. x)

- One day Kumajirou got lost during a world meeting and the entire world of nations were running around searching for him to make sure no humans accidentally found him first. Canada eventually found Kumajirou eating the building's entire stock of fish in the kitchen, and so they all went back to the meeting, announcing they found Kumajirou.

"Then whose polar did I find?" a confused Sweden asked to everyone's horror as he came inside, carrying another polar bear (cub).

To this day they still have no idea where the second polar bear came from, but it wasn't Kumajirou. 😂 Sweden was very sad he wasn't allowed to keep the lil' fella, but the polar bear was sent to a big secret nature reservate in north Canada, one that Canada himself takes care of. The polar bear is now living a happy life with a lot of fish of his own. x)

- Both America and Canada learnt the hard way that North America isn't the only continent with moose. Now they know. 😂 xD

- Both Canada and America have known how to build cabins and log houses for a long time, but Sweden later helped them master detailed whittling, general woodwork and carving.

- Both America and Canada have a soft spot for Sealand and Ladonia, who they view as some kind of mix between nephews and younger siblings.

- (ScotNor, SuFin & General BIG Family bonus) : Given how connected the NA siblings are to the UK-siblings, France and the Nordics, Finland eventually began to invite them all for Christmas in gigantic family celebrations. 😄

.

- SuFin bonus: America looks up to Sweden's and Finland's long and stable relationship as something he would want for himself in the future, and thus once tried to ask Sweden for dating advice. However...

Fin, from the other side of the house: "YOU'RE ASKING THE WRONG PERSON! SWEDEN WAS A PINING IDIOT FOR OVER A MILLENIUM WITHOUT TELLING ME ANYTHING - I WAS THE ONE WHO CONFESSED FIRST!"

America, looking at Sweden's embarrassed face: "Ah."

.

- Canada and Sweden are bear buddies, both having an interest in bears.

- Canada and Sweden go on regular visits to the polar bear reservate Canada has to visit the lil' random fella Sweden found during the Lost Kumajirou episode. x)

- Kumajirou has taken a big liking to Sweden. Cuba and Sweden are now the only nations Kumajirou allows to baby-sit him whenever Canada is off on business somewhere. 💙

- Both Finland and Sweden are really good bakers, something America's and Canada's sweet tooth appreciates a lot. 🧡

Is vinland like America and canada parent?

If Vinland counts as a nation for Hetalia purposes, then maybe. A lot of Hetalia nations don’t necessarily have parents. For example, the Italy brothers refer to Ancient Rome as their grandfather, and they don’t indicate that they had a mother or father. Other nations have no parental figure or grandparent for all.

America and Canada both appear to be very young in the strips where England and France find them. England and France aren’t their biological parents, but England is probably the closest thing America has to a parent, and England and France were both parental figures to Canada.
