#yes this is the reason why the nordics are my favorite hetalia characters

Studying Scandinavian history is downright painful sometimes. Excuse me, sir, I don't want to read about your weird opinions on racial superiority, I just want to read about Denmark and Sweden kicking each other around like footballs.

Art Styles I Personally Think the Hetalia Characters Looked Their Best In (and Why) Part 3

Links to Pt.1, Pt.2

Please note that I am referring to the show and not the webcomic. This is primarily because I didn't always have access to the webcomic and thus the show is what I've always been most familiar with. I will also refrain from talking about characters that have only appeared in one season.

Also, please keep in mind that these are just my opinions. And if you have any different ideas of what designs looked better, that's totally okay. At the end of the day, I'm just here to have fun.

Also, we are talking about the Nordics today. And since these guys are some of my favorite characters, prepare for me to be very opinionated. You have been warned.

Denmark: Season 4

I don't know if this is a hot take or not, especially since we've only seen him in this art style a few times, but dangit, Denmark looked his absolute best in season 4. And you want to know why? Because the other seasons make him look like a literal child. And I'm not saying "child" as in, "Oh he just has a childish personality." No, I'm talking "child" as in "He physically looks like a little kid." Here, Denmark looks like an actual adult like the rest of the nations. Not to mention that I like the duller blond color of his hair here. It helps a little to set him apart from the other blonde characters whose hair is typically colored bright yellow. Also, I prefer his eyes colored a darker blue. I just think it looks nice. Also, his wardrobe is immaculate. 'Nuff said.

Sweden: Season 4

I was close to saying that I didn't have a favorite design for Sweden, because they all look so similar to me. But I ended up landing on his design for season 4 because of his outfit. It's simple, but I like the navy blue on the lighter shade, as well as the whole outfit itself being trimmed with gold. I really don't have much else to say on Sweden. Huh, I guess I'm not as opinionated on him as I thought I was.

Finland: Season 4

Ah yes, the character whose eyes keep changing colors. While I like how soft and rounded his design is in later seasons, as they help convey his softer and more demure personality, I still prefer his original design from season 4. The reason is largely his eyes. Not a lot of other Hetalia characters have brown eyes, and I liked this detail about Finland. It's a color choice that makes him surprisingly unique. I'd also like to mention that the color brown is a warmer color and has a psychological connection to feelings of warmth and comfort. Feelings that I feel are associated with aph Finland as a character, as I've always seen him as one of the more stable and grounded of the group.

Norway: Season 7

I know I've been giving season 7 of Hetalia some grief for making the characters look too childish or dorky looking, but somehow this has not affected aph Norway. If anything, I'd say he looks at his best here. In the previous seasons, his eyes always looked dull and lifeless. I understand that's supposed to be reflective of the character's deadpan and stoic personality, but it always threw me off. But here there's a glint of light inside his eyes, helping make him look alive while still maintaining his stoic appearance. Also, the hair and the cross hairclip are beautiful. His hair is so light and fluffy, and it's styled beautifully. And while it's not in this picture, we do still have his floating hair curl, which is always a nice touch. A classic staple of a design by Himaruya.

Iceland: Season 7

I prefer this design for aph Iceland because this is one where he looks the most like both an angsty teenager and a child. Which makes sense, as he's the youngest of the Nordic Five. It's simultaneously giving off "Ugh, don't talk to me!" vibes, combined with "I hope my big brother remembered to put a juice box in my lunch today," energy. I also like how similar he looks to Norway from season seven here as well. To me it's a cute nod to the fact(?) that they are biologically brothers. Also, this outfit? It's adorable, and I love it. The earmuffs are everything.

æ: Your favorite character and how they became such. é: Can you now speak another language because of Hetalia? ë: Your fav song from the tracks? ï: What’s a character you don’t particularly like? Is there a reason? ó: Is there any characters you feel could have been portrayed better? ö: If you could meet one character, who would it be. Why?

// My favorite character took a few months to figure out but I think I finally sit with England. (For a while, I teetered on him and Romano.) I finally decided on England being my favorite when I realized how my feelings towards him changed. At first I was like "Oh, he represents that country? Cool."Then it was "Huh. I kinda like him."Then "No, don't go for him. The British guy is a cliché."To "NO, I DO NOT CARE FOR HIM."Then finally settled with "Yes, this is Arthur Kirkland and he is cool. Think what you will but this is my fave."Now for languages, yes! I can speak (some) Italian. It isn't much but I'm still learning. As for my favorite songs... The Nordic 5's song, Spain and Chibiromano's Rondo, England's Let Enjoy Today, and a good handful more but the ones already named are high on my list. I... don't really have a dislike for any Hetalia characters. I really love all of those assheads. Characters that could have been portrayed better? I'm not so sure as to that one. If I had to meet a character... This is the tough one. I feel like I'd enjoy being in the presence of of a happier character like Veneziano, or a quieter character like Sweden... But when it comes down to it, I gotta say England or Romano. (Sticking to the favorites!)
