the countries playing the sims

°

estonia: how is your marriage?

lithuania: poland discovered that sims die if you remove the handle bar of the pool in the sims. so he likes to marry random sims then make them die and receive money. this is why i don't go swimming anymore.

°

ukraine: i am never playing the sims with you again after you built an underground torture chamber.

belarus: but what else would you do in the sims?

ukraine: tAKE CARE OF THEM?

belarus: unrealistic.

°

norway: so how are things?

denmark playing the sims: well, iceland is four hours late for school because he is on his phone, finland got married with sweden then flirted with the grim reaper in front of him, i keep breaking everything even if i am a ghost, hanatamago is missing and you are crying in the shower again.

norway: i am so sorry i asked.

°

france: remember how we talked about the sims being a good way for you to work on your abandonment issues?

england, who created every colony he ever had in the sims, made them be a happy family then cried for two hours when they turned adults: yes. what about it?

i started this blog because things were very hard for me in quarantine. it has been a long time since things went well on my life and now that they are a little better and i see a future, i remember that it has been a long time since i was good with myself. but this blog helped me when i didn't see a future.

the followers i have, the people i have met and everyone saying how they liked my work and how i made them laugh was a dream coming true. i never expected that people would like how weirdly my mind works. this blog proved i can make people happy and my mind can be something great. i know this is just another blog and else for you. just more incorrect quotes and memes and shitposts but this became a safe space for me like hetalia is an amazing part of my life.

i will keep this blog and every single one of you until tumblr stops existing. i really want this in my future (ノ＞▽＜。)ノ☆・*。・゜+.　　°。+ *´¨)

england: we need to talk.

england, reading a newspaper: a 19 years old male held a one man protest, chained himself to the white house and sang This Love by Adam Levine repeatedly til 4 am until a Japanese studio agreed on continuing an anime.

america: who told them i was 19?

last chance to guess who was the impostor. the answer is right there. i swear.

but seriously he hated being the impostor. he wanted to do all the tasks and make sure nobody commits any mistakes, but since he is also a slut for winning he blamed america.

also:

why germany? because he is in the vents

thanks for accompanying this delusion i had with among us lol

Before I start, it’s important to go over and situate a few things. The nations’ immortality is more of a curse than it is a blessing. They’ve experienced countless wars, plagues, political strife, and have even died, only to be regenerated.

Now, unlike humans who have been blindsided with the rough backhand of fate, the nations are forced to relive these pains over and over again. It would be enough to drive a normal person mad.

In other words, their immortality was a prison that kept them locked into a systemic cycle of bloodshed. What adds to this prison imagery is that they’re obligated to listen to their bosses and fight in wars that they don’t necessarily want to participate in.

Nowadays, this prison more has to do with loneliness. They still follow their bosses’ orders, but the restrictions on their freedom are not nearly as pervasive.

Ex: England’s sweet and alcohol intake is regulated by his boss.

Regardless, Germania and Ancient Rome best exemplify how their freedom was gained not by their immortality, but rather, the loss of it. They were “liberated” from their bosses and war upon dying.

France is another good example of this. He gives better insight into how heartless history can be in tossing peoples’ lives around. When he first sees Lisa, Jeanne d’Arc’s reincarnate, he believed that God was playing a cruel trick on him. On its own, this already proves how betrayed and hurt France felt after her death.

Nonetheless, France still keeps his faith and believes that humans who have had rough past lives will be reborn into happier ones. He doesn’t have this privilege.

The purpose of this post will be to illustrate how the nations’ immortality has historically caused them to live through many traumatic events. It would follow, then, that being reared in such unhealthy environments would cause some of them to develop PTSD.

In fact, there is a mounting pile of canon evidence that depicts the nations having discomforting flashbacks, severe anxiety, and nightmares. That said, let’s go over some examples.

America:

When his settlers moved inland, America didn’t have many belongings to his name. England ponders why America produces things in mass and comes to the realization that America’s overconsumption of goods likely stems from this impoverished period of his life.

Note the use of the word traumatized.

Lithuania:

Lithuania has a flashback to when he and the other Baltic States declared their independence from the USSR. He then experiences another flashback, where Russia squeezes his shoulder – it’s used as a metaphor to represent political repression.

Lithuania is so immersed in this second flashback that he begins squeezing Estonia’s and Latvia’s shoulders without realizing it.

One of his character notes also mentions that he’s been rebilitating after his time spent in the USSR.

England:

England doubts his capacity to care for young America. The stress of this new responsibility causes him to have a flashback of his older brothers sending him hexes.

It’s noted that England once suffered from 100 years of heartbreak, presumably a reference to the American Revolution.

This is a theory of mine, as it isn’t confirmed in canon, but given that England coughs up blood and gets ill on the fourth of July, I think that it is meant to symbolize how he still hasn’t recovered emotionally from America’s independence. In other words, each year, England’s heart is both literally and figuratively ripped open on the inside.

Japan:

While this example is a more subtle depiction of trauma, it’s not surprising.

Although this isn’t covered in the strips, following WW2, Japan would have become America’s underling. As such, the atrocities committed by the atomic bombs would have made him visibly more compliant to America’s demands, regardless if he agreed or not.

This is seen in a world meeting where Japan unanimously agrees with America’s ridiculous global warming plan. Switzerland even calls out Japan for not voicing his true opinion.

Switzerland:

Switzerland’s mercenary past still haunts him. Lichtenstein perceptively reads into this as she asks him why they’re working to boost her income through tourism.

Italy:

Italy’s perhaps one of the most anxiety-ridden characters in the series.

Ex: He worries that Germany hates him and has nightmares about this. His greatest fear is being left behind to fend for himself.

This insecurity leads him to make Germany reaffirm to him several times that he’s not actually hated.

Ex: Italy has nightmares where a childhood version of himself presses to be acknowledged.

The dream ends with Italy screaming and refusing to acknowledge the child. To me, and as I’ve theorized in the past, I read this as Italy repressing parts of his childhood to minimize and forget about the trauma that he experienced. The child is merely a representation of his unconscious mind.

Germany:

Germany also has a childhood version of himself pressing to be acknowledged. Of course, this is running on the assumption that he’s actually Holy Rome and has forgotten about his childhood.

Similarly, he’s once depicted to be holding Chibitalia, looking visibly confused.

“It’s me.”

Again, how I see this is that perhaps Germany is repressing aspects of his childhood. In that case, Chibitalia is an unconscious representation of these memories attempting to pierce through to his conscious mind.

All in all, given how long the nations have lived, it’s not novel to assume that they’re still traumatized by things that have happened to them in the past.
