[Hetalia] Whoo, new character
Dec. 17th, 2025 05:49 pmSo the latest strip has Brazil!
I like his character design. It's cool that we finally have this character - I get the impression that a lot of people have wanted a design for Brazil for a long time. And it doesn't look that different from a lot of the fan designs out there.
Unfortunately, the storyline is still the gangster AU, and I have no idea what's going on these days. I kind of stopped paying attention after a while, because I'm just so not interested. It was kind of fun at first, what with the alternate costumes and so on, but like... I'm here for regular-flavour Hetalia, that's all.
Anyway! Hopefully we'll get more Brazil later on. In regular strips, thanks. And maybe also a colour illustration, plz & thank you.

Dec. 9th, 2025 10:14 pmSometimes there are those moments where I come across something that makes me think about my OTP, and it still, after all these years, brings me so much joy.
Feels good!
I should make something with them soon. It's been a while.

Opened up an old, unfinished draft to take a look at it.
The opening paragraph has the main character answering a call on a landline.
Whew. This thing sure is old. But it's not that old; it's from 2015, and was supposed to take place around that time, so I don't really have many excuses for this.
Ah, well, I'll set that aside, it'll be easy to fix later.
( Headcanons related to Hetalia characters and landlines, brought on by said fic )

Oct. 13th, 2025 09:45 pm+ Long weekend. Had dinner with parents. Did a lot of faffing around aside from that. I feel like I didn't really do much aside from sleep and watch movies.
+ Some people invited me out to a thing, then cancelled but forgot to inform me. I didn't find out until the afternoon on the day it was going to happen, when I sent a text to check on the time (though luckily with enough notice that it wasn't a big deal). I'm still kind of annoyed about it. Like, on the one hand, I didn't really want to go to this thing anyway. On the other hand... dude, seriously? They want to reschedule, but I'm 50/50 on whether I'll decline.
+ Watched Akira Kurosawa's Dreams. Beautiful film, but very very artsy. It's an anthology of eight vignettes or "dreams", each inspired by an actual recurring dream Kurosawa had. Some are more fantastical than others. I'm glad that I took the time to watch it, but I'm also very glad that it was not my first Akira Kurosawa film - I don't think it would have been a good introduction to his work. Very recommended for Art Film enthusiasts though.
+ [Hetalia] Came across someone grumbling about the prevalence of SE/FI and the lack of other FI pairs, and on the one hand yeah I feel that, but on the other hand they were going on about how they've never seen work with other FI pairs except as a joke, and I'm like - hold on. Excuse me. Dude, you haven't been looking. Sure, there isn't a lot, but I've never seen a NO/FI or EE/FI shipper who wasn't 100% earnest and enthusiastic. There aren't a lot of fanworks out there, but there are some, and a lot of them are quite nice. Pairings other than those two are much fewer, but every so often something unexpected turns up. You just have to go looking, man. Or make your own. ...Anyway, it did remind me of a No/Fi story I've had notes for that I never did get around to writing. Maybe I'll try to write it when I'm on vacation in November. Not that I'll be sharing it with that asshole, but I do like the idea and it'd be nice to get it on paper.

Aug. 16th, 2025 07:02 pmI was thinking about how I used to have people that I could bounce Hetalia ideas around with, and I don't really have that any more. Very casual stuff like "I was thinking about doing X or Y, what do you think?" or "Help me unfuck my plot" or "what do you think about this headcanon" or "Do you think Norway would like curry?" or whatever random thing.
Almost all of my close friends have moved on, and the ones that haven't aren't very active at all. The only Hetalia discord that I'm still in hasn't talked about Hetalia in ages. The aph anon meme is a wasteland. I really miss all of that and it's just gone.
I also really really miss Folie in particular, but it's not just her. There's a whole long list of people I miss.
I guess I just feel very lonely in this fandom. And very tired. I'm still working on Hetalia fic (did a little bit today) but man... I was re-reading some old conversations and I feel really sad that so many people are just gone.

Feb. 13th, 2025 09:47 pmThere seems to be some kind of Sve/Nor event going on. Or at least, several people I follow have been posting about it.
I wish I could put together something to contribute too, but I don't know if I will have time. :( And I don't have energy to throw something together.
...Maybe I could write something at lunch tomorrow???
I still really enjoy this pairing, and I miss it. And I miss writing Hetalia things. And writing in general.
Someone posted a fic with them and I'm looking forward to reading it, even if I'll have to do so through an autotranslator.

Dec. 22nd, 2024 06:04 pmI've been thinking about Nor/HK a lot today. It's a really good pairing. I really wish that I could get an idea for an actually good fic with them, though. Something with substance, not like the stuff I've written and the ideas I currently have.
Probably wouldn't have become interested in it if it weren't for my roleplays with Jay back in the day. They played a great HK and the dynamic they had with my Nor was very fun.
I suppose I could always work with the premise we used for how they became involved. It's slightly more substantial. I wouldn't be using all our dialogue or anything (because good roleplay dialogue != good fic dialogue) but the general premise that HK and Iceland were visiting Norway and HK & Nor got to talking when Iceland wasn't present, and then things led from there - that would work.

Ao3 - Hetalia - Finally!
Jul. 24th, 2024 10:03 pmAha!
Ao3 has renamed the Hetalia fandom tag from Hetalia: Axis Powers to Hetalia (Anime and Manga).
I've been hoping for a change like this for a long time. Hetalia has been through three different title changes; it's been Hetalia World Stars since 2014. But most people just call it Hetalia, and Ao3's renaming reflects current fandom usage.
It looks like existing works still display as Hetalia: Axis Powers, but I went and renamed the fandom on all of my existing works using the mass-edit instructions on this tumblr post.
Text version of the instructions under the cut.

Dec. 13th, 2023 09:06 pmMan, why don't I have any EstPol icons? I should make some. When I have time. With Kyuhu's art, since it's so cute. (Not that there's much to choose from with other artists, but you know.)
Someone recently posted a bit from Hetalia Fantasia 3, which I've never actually looked into. And it has a scene with Estonia and Poland interacting! In more than just a small amount! Quite a bit actually! In comparison to the usual.
It's kind of funny that Pol is totally computer-inept in the Hetalia Fantasia excerpt, while in more recent canon (like, past ~3 years) he's more tech savvy. Or at least competent enough to manage a gaming setup. Guess Himaruya changed his mind. ;p
Anyway... Ahh, I love this pairing. They're just really cute together. Nerds, both of them, but in different ways. I wish I still enjoyed drawing, so I could draw them. (I drew a lot when I was a teenager, but somewhere along the way, it stopped being fun.) ...Or I wish I could commission people to draw them - I mean, theoretically I could, but uhhh that refrigerator wasn't cheap, so I'll have to put that thought on the backburner for a while.
Anyway. Yes. Poland/Estonia is cute. Must make icons later, when I have time. Should write something with them too; it's not like I don't have ideas.

Sep. 17th, 2023 09:18 amI'm looking at this pile of wips and wondering how the hell Bulgaria wormed his way into my heart. It's very unexpected.
And then I look at the strips and it's like... ah. He's such a dweeb. It's adorable. I want to pinch his cheeks and feed him soup.

Aug. 16th, 2023 09:47 pmUgh, I keep getting all these embarrassing fluffy RoBul fic ideas. Terrible. Or rather, terrible because there's only so much time in the day.
Keep having vague thoughts about writing up headcanon posts, but to be quite honest, it all kind of embarrasses me, and also I think it might be a better use of my time to write those thoughts and little details into actual fic instead. Which I have! To certain degrees! I, uh, just haven't finished them yet.
And I typed up the draft for the eyeliner fic today! And I found that I actually liked it! Like, hey, this is pretty good; nice job, me. 'cept the first part of it needs a bit more fleshing out, but that's fine - it means I'll have room to put in some thirst, which is always fun.
One of these days, I really should write some RoBul stuff with substance, though. Like... not something serious, but it'd be nice to write something with them with a bit of length and something resembling a plot (or at least sequence of events). Something in the 4-5k range maybe. I have no idea what, though. ...Eh, well, I'll think of something eventually.
I think part of the reason I've been so fixated on these two lately is that they're completely unrelated to any of the major projects I have due (which would be an Estonia-centric fic for a fanbook, and also a Norway-centric project that Lu suggested to me). It's like, since they're not connected to it, any stories that I write related to them won't be a rehash of anything I'm doing for that other stuff, and also they're something I can turn to when I need a break from the characters in the serious projects.
But also they're just really cute.

Aug. 2nd, 2023 10:38 pmMan, I've been so busy. (Again, as always.) It's like every time I turn around, it's yet another thing.
I can hardly wait until some of these projects are finished and done. Really itching to write something self-indulgent. Not the RoBul eyeliner story though - I've already finished that one. Or, well, I think it needs an ending (need to look at it again) but it's mostly done.
Kind of want to do a companion piece with nail polish. Bulgaria doesn't seem like he'd be willing to wear colours, but I think he'd give in if Ro suggested just trying a layer of clear/transparent. Simple. I just... have this image of him looking at his hands with the clear polish on and being surprised by how nice it looks.
For some reason I have this idea of him as someone who likes to keep his nails neat - not to the extent of being fussy about it, but he does care about having his hands be clean and tidy. So yeah, it would look nice.
Anyway... yeah. I'm busy and I have RoBul on the brain. I really wish I could sleep for a week and/or write for a week. Alas.

Jul. 15th, 2023 09:06 amI just realized that I have a tag on my tumblr for writing prompts that I find around (imagine your otp) but not one here. Should fix that. Anyway, here's something I've had in a tab for a while.
From this subthread about how virginity is a state of mind:
So if a vampire could mind-whammy their victim into believing that anal sex didn't count, they could have an endless supply of virgin blood?
Whew. Never thought of that before, but uh... I'm thinking about it.
I don't think I'll ever be able to use this prompt as-is, but it's still neat.
...Could work for roleplay, though. (In which case, RoBul. Obviously. ...Why do I find the idea of BG pretending to be mind-whammied into thinking he's a virgin so appealing? Virginity kink is normally not my thing. And yet. This very specific context....)

Jul. 7th, 2023 12:17 pmSuddenly remembered a thing that I planned to write once but never got around to, some bite-sized RoBul where they're getting ready to go out dancing, and Romania convinces Bulgaria to let him put some eyeliner on him. Nothing dramatic, just a simple style in black.
Very self-indulgent. Should get around to that one eventually; it'll be fun. And I really do think Bul would look nice with some eyeliner, as a treat.

Jun. 3rd, 2023 10:32 pmPeople saying that Hetalia is a small fandom make me feel absolutely insane. Tell me you’ve never been in an actually small fandom without telling me. Something with over 100 Ao3 uploads in the past week and tons of new fanart on tumblr every single day is by no means small.
Thing is, it’s decently-sized, but it’s heavily fragmented. A lot of people silo off into circles related to characters/pairings that they like, and sometimes there’s not much interaction with people who like completely different character groups - and this can make it all feel a lot smaller than it actually is. You get into a less-common character, you pal around with the people who like that one, and it starts to feel kind of claustrophobic and slow. You encounter a lot of the same people whether you like it or not, and the only fanwork about such-and-such secondary/tertiary character that you see is the stuff you and the people you know make. But there's stuff going on that you'll never know about.
Do I have any idea what the FRUK and AmeCan fans are up to? No! Do I care? Also no!
As a point of comparison, some small fandoms I’ve been in: English side of Nirvana in Fire fandom, 1900 Ao3 works. SSSS, 2100 Ao3 works. Vatican Miracle Examiner, 153 works. aRTD, 141 on Ao3 and I’ve written 25% of them. Etc. Hetalia, at over 50k Ao3 uploads and (as I mentioned) over 100 in the past week, is downright chonky in comparison.
Sure, it's not like the glory days of the LJ, when I had to take the comm off my flist because I couldn't keep up, not to mention the huge amount of activity on the kink meme (and the anon meme...), but... damn, dude. No, this fandom is not small.

+ Feeling exhausted for reasons I'd rather not get into at the moment. Man, am I ever beat. Think I'm going to go to bed early tonight.
+ Bought some pants today. They fit well and were on sale. Pretty pleased.
+ Was able to open my windows for the first time in ages. No smoke this afternoon. Felt so, so good to get some fresh air in here.
+ The book I'm reading is really good. (Purge by Sofi Oksanen.) Harrowing, but very absorbing. I kind of went to the library and checked out every book they had that was related to Estonia. ...There weren't very many. But this novel was one of them. Anyway, I haven't been able to put it down. Might check out this author's other works later.
+ Tumblr user Roran01's latest Hetalia RoHun fanart is great. (Their blog displays as dash-only, here's my reblog if the other one doesn't display properly). ...Anyway, it's just, whew. NICE. Their description says "AU" but I prefer to imagine nationverse with sexy roleplay because... well, it's hotter to me that way ahahaha.

- Had to dogsit for my brother this weekend. I am exhausted. The adult dog is lovely and chill, but the puppy is still very much a baby, and needs to be watched at all times to make sure he won't get into something he shouldn't. Fuuuuh
- Pride month coming up. My feelings are kind of a tired "ugh, don't feel like it", but that could be because I'm tired. There sure are a lot of things going on locally; it's gotten a lot bigger from the first one. Getting up motivation to do things is going to be hard, but I think I'll try to go to one or two events, just because it's important to show up. But ughhhh dragging my feet, as usual.

raremaleslashex is in the nom stages. I enjoy this exchange and really would love to participate, kind of tempted to nom some things just in case I do bite the bullet, but... I think I'm going to have to skip it this year.
- ...Because I've been invited to participate in another Chinese Hetalia fanbook, and I need to write a thing for it! (WHAT) A bit of a surprise, but I'm looking forward to it. Hopefully whatever I come up with will fit with the zine runner's vision.

Thanks, local library. I'll pass on the banana, though.

Bastille's "The Silence" is a RoBul song. Most of the Bad Blood album feels very DenNor to me, but "The Silence" - that's a RoBul song.
It feels like a time when they're seeing each other again after a cooling off period. Like they've been apart for a while, didn't want anything to do with each other for a while, but after a while being separated was more than they could stand, too. And there's this silence between them, and it feels awkward as hell to start it up again.
I have a vague idea for something, not sure of time period except somewhere post-1991. At a time when it's still - busy, lots of changes going on, but things have settled enough that they do have a moment that they're able to take for themselves and work on -- well, whatever this is.
Honestly, I like it even better if the reason that they stopped seeing each other in the first place wasn't any serious nation-related thing, but like, petty interpersonal bullshit. Some minor thing that someone got in a snit about, and the other person got irritated about them being pissy, and it escalated into "ugh, that guy, he can just fuck right off for all I care, fuck him". Maybe it was made worse by the stressors they were existing under, but the root cause was something so stupid, and so trivial, that it's just awkward to make the first move to pick things up again.
(Bulgaria, it's Bulgaria who initiates things. Just like "Well, I guess somebody needs to be the mature one here, so...")
...Anyway, I need to think about this premise a little more, but I sure do like it.
It feels like a time when they're seeing each other again after a cooling off period. Like they've been apart for a while, didn't want anything to do with each other for a while, but after a while being separated was more than they could stand, too. And there's this silence between them, and it feels awkward as hell to start it up again.
