HETALIA OFFICE MASTERPOST

how was the movie?

Ahaha yeah I know he doesn’t look like his dad but I wanted to make that joke

So, I was doing some research on Greek tragedies, and I found out about this Tragedy called Oresteia (Ορέστεια). I managed to learn about something that happened in 1903. This event is called Ορεστειακά. To sum up, Greece had 2 official languages at the time Δημοτική ( the Greek we speak now) and Καθαρεύουσα(A weird mix of ancient and modern Greek), there was this one professor who translated this tragedy from ancient to Modern greek but The second one. So this caused a huge dilemma in Athens and so People fought one another causing two deaths. This also happened before but I’ll explain later. So now my head is thinking about how Greece would be affected by this. Like would he have a headache? Maybe just a paper cut idk.

Happy new years from Greece! The ships are honking, fake guns are shot and fireworks are still going on.

What language do the Nations speak in Hetalia?? Do they speak a common language that only Nations speak or a language that has or had influence many countries? Like do they speak Latin or something? I’m guessing they speak English, but it wouldn’t be shocking if they spoke any other common language.

One topic I feel like doesn’t get talked about enough in Hetalia is weird deaths. Like since they have probably lived for a really long time, most have been alive since the Middle Ages, imagine the stupid stories they have about death. Yeah sure some deaths are and were serious but France has has two of his kings die bc of a door. NOT ONE BUT TWO BLOODY KINGS HAVE DIED FROM FUCKING DOORS. Let’s not forget about the whole “fuck around and find out”, probably most nations have died bc of animals. Hell I want to imagine that Ancient Greece’s head was split in half from a fucking turtle or that Australia died bc he swam too far and no one( New Zealand) bothered to swim to him to see if he was alive, or that he died in the goddamn Emu war (he didn’t die but he definitely felt dead inside from being made fun of from the other nations)

Japan’s and Greece’s friendship in Hetalia has always weirded me out, bc we don’t really care about one another in real life so I searched about the relations between these two. Japan’s national poet is a Greek guy. I AM NOT KIDDING. Leukadios Hearn (Greek-Irish) went to america to work as a journalist, he found out about Japan and liked it so much he moved there, married a japanese woman and had children. He was the man who brought the japanese mythology and a lot of other stuff to the west. So, maybe thats one thing. 

Just thinking about how psychotic Canada would be in Hetalia but especially in war.I’ll just give an example, in WW1 they used to take the small amount of POWs they had and dress them in goat skin and wool and send them to South America (I’m not sure if it’s correct but eh). Another one is that they invented the night trench raids and killed everything that breathed and stole everything. I’m just imagining a Canada covered in blood and shit he stole and England is looking at him like “This ain’t the dominion I raised”.

I thought about it, he would def not be with the king, Greece kicked out 3 different kings since 1829, and also king Constantine wanted to stay neutral or join the central powers so most countries hated him. It would make sense if Greece hated him but didn’t hate him for his actions but just bc he was king

Can someone please answer this bc I’m confused. During 1915-1917 there was a national dispute between the king and the Prime minister in Greece what tf would Greece do in this? Like would he be in the side of king bc highest power or be with the PM since he has most of the people with him?

As an Athenian myself, I feel scared too. Like I live near the port of Pireaus as well so during the summer its a fucking nightmare. Nobody deserves a drivers license here-Like I have never felt safe in a car. 

completely random observation/recollection: Italians, specifically the ones living in Rome, were the least likely to follow traffic laws and yet also the least likely to have a wreck. like I'm dead serious, as far as skill goes, the Romans were easily the best drivers I've ever seen. WILDLY reckless and illegal, but in four months no one ever came close to hitting me even when I was being a fucking idiot.

meanwhile I was in Paris for an hour tops when someone nearly killed me as I was using the crosswalk while it was my turn to walk. then I saw a fenderbender happen down the street as one car very very veeeeery slowly tried to parallel park and just like methodically plowed into another car lmaoooo

Berlin's drivers were perfectly courteous and lawful, and never came close to hitting me even when I was being stupid (and they seemed to appreciate my pantomimed apologies, ty). The exception was one dude determined to drive his fucking Lamborghini or whatever it was despite being drunk off his ass; he was deeply offended that the police would take issue with this and was, for some reason, yelling "Do you know who I am?!" in heavily accented and slurred English. I have no idea why English was the chosen language here but I presume he was not local.

The Athenians... they scare me.

One thing I would like to see in Hetalia would be the raisin dispute between France and Greece. Back in the mid 1800s both countries made lots of raisins. However, France got hit with a fucking blight in the crops and couldn’t grow any, so they couldn’t sell it.So the Greeks decided to DESTROY EVERY OTHER TREE AND PLANTS THEY HAD TO PUT PLANTS TO MAKE RAISINS TO MAKE PROFIT. It worked for some years, I think, but then France got rid of the blight and was able to make raisins again so no one bought the Greek raisins and lots of people became homeless and poor. I Headcanons that even though Greece and France are good friends they fight for the best raisins to this day(Greece starts them).
