so another anon mentioned how fanart and fanfic on russia-ukraine war should be call out more often. with all the debate on this blog about political-apolitical hetalia, let's talk about it, shall we?

personally i don't remember seeing many direct portrayals of the war in the fandom. it's few and far between and back in the first months of 2022 there were a lot of callouts for that. though it faded away as people started paying less attention to the war.

that being said, a part of the fandom still portrays russia ukraine and belarus as this happy little family and any care for how insensitive that is has been thrown out of the window. there's been few callouts for that and mostly by ukrainians. sometimes it's justified with "portraying the people, not the government". and yet ukrainians are vocally against it! so when the fandom continues to portray it that way, is it still about "the people"? or is it about the idea of a fluffy family regardless of any connection it has to reality?

honestly just wish these people would make their own non-hetalia ocs and spare me and my compatriots the indignity of having our country portrayed by a character who's all lovey-dovey with its oppressor. it's not cute, it's not a "coping mechanism", it's not "in the name of peace", and it's not even "apolitical". it's disrespectful and it directly stems from the statements used by the russian government to justify this war. so it's a good confirmation if any was needed that hetalia doesn't exist in isolation from real life events.

but i don't want to be all negative. there has been a change in how people treat ukraine as a character and it's blatantly clear by browsing the tag. "east slavic siblings" used to be most of the art with her to be found but that's far from it anymore and i don't think that's just the result curating my fandom experience. ukraine is much more of her own character now and i thank all the creators responsible for it. you make this corner of the fandom a much more bearable and comfortable place, keep up the great work.

thoughts on lietpru (especially grunwald)?

to be fair, as a ship, it’s ✨not my cup of tea✨ and I‘m not having a go at you if you‘re shipping it, for all I care, it‘s just it‘s not on my long and nuanced list of either Prussia or Lithuania ships I enjoy.

And the easy shortcut route would be to say that I can‘t view it as not toxic, literally ever since the Teutonic Knights arrived to the region and up until the damn 20th century.

Thoughts On Lietpru (especially Grunwald)?

✨off topic but in Ukraine we have a a dishwashing liquid named Grünwald I shit you not that is what its called. I don‘t know why.✨

Ok, ok, I know you meant the battle. yeah that‘s exactly what Ruthenians alongside Lithuanians fought the Teutons for in 1410. Sorry I‘m getting silly again

what's the most interesting thing in prussian history you've found? and the funniest lol i love stupid history

sorry I took so long to get to this, it's because I kept debating with myself because there are so many good options and the Prussian Space Marine Liberal Economic Timebomb is right up there but I think I have to give it to the 1830s esoteric Königsberg sex cult

ABSOLUTELY. FCKING. TRUE.

Out of all the European countries in Hetalia, I feel like Ukraine was done dirty. I haven't been able to read the comics much, so I'm going off of the anime here. But wow does the anime do her so dirty. Not just because they used her to fulfill the whole "big-boobed anime girl trope", but because Ukraine is actually a very strong country, and I feel like they portray her as weak and pathetic. It just bothers me.

Now, I don't mind a female character with a bigger chest. By all means, draw and animate characters with different body types. I'm all for it. But the way they ogle her chest and add sound effects is just too much for me. I get that it's anime, but still.

Granted, we could go on and on about other characters not being portrayed well, but I will never get over how they disrespect Miss Ukraine. The girl deserves so much better.

Sasori: Did It Hurt When You Fell?

Sasori: Did it hurt when you fell?

Deidara: From where? Heaven? Or in love?

Sasori: Brat, as much as I’d love to save your ego, you just faceplanted down a flight of stairs.

Just a little comics about Sasori being worried and Deidara being Deidara. I kinda messed the order up, but there are numbers in the corners so here we go

you said your opinion on russia, belarus, and ukraine being related, but what would you think about just belarus and ukraine being sisters?

ehhh…

First of all, I’m really confused by the entire sibling/families thing in Hetalia. It’s complicated as hell, so I prefer none of them being siblings by blood, and those who are close in that way becoming siblings in spirit if they want too

I mentioned this already briefly (unless you know me on Discord. then not briefly, haha), but I’ve got a vision how different principalities of the medieval feudal union of tribes/city states, Ruthenia/Kyivan Rus, evolved, which I’ll elaborate one day if you’re interested✋🏼

As for those two:

– Principality of Kyiv – became Ukraine

– Principality of Polatsk – became Belarus

Kyiv and Polatsk grew up together as friends-rivals-frenemies occasionally allying and infighting depending on the situation. They joined Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth together. They rebelled together (although still fought for power a bit amidst the uprising), and fell under russian rule together. They had their independence movements, cultural revival, although it’s sad how the Beloruthian one is barely talked of. And finally, Beloruthian language it the closest related to Ukrainian.

They share much more than appears. So, whether they would want to consider themselves sisters in spirit nowardays?

Heh. Mayhaps

It is another headcanon, but occasionally, Belarus snaps, wakes up from how she usually acts, and just stares to the front: "what am I even doing?"

And then Ivan hits her on a head with somethin' and she goes back to 'normal'
