So my friend told me the other day that Netherlands uses different second person pronouns depending on the nation he wants to address in the jpn manga. So I checked and turns out she’s right.
Hetalia World Stars ep 445. Here, you can see Netherlands calling Japan “Ome (おめ)”
...and Netherlands addressing Germany, Italy, and America/Anglosphere “Wamera (わめら)”. These words are both Fukui Prefecture dialects so its difficult (even for jpn readers) to recognize the precise nuances each pronoun hold.
Thus I looked up a dialect dictionary online to confirm the meaning of each second person pronoun Ned used. This is where the fangirl screaming begins.
おめ (Ome): Can be translated to common word “Anataあなた”. “You” but for person you are close to, such as a friend or spouse/wife.
わめ (Wame): Fukui dialect of “Omaeお前”. "You", but not for people you really like. Very casual, sorta bad way to call people.
わめら (Wamera): “We” or “you guys”. Plural noun of “Wame”.
Oh Netherlands...you could have simply used ''Omera (plural noun of Ome)" for Germany, Italy, and America...instead you chose to walk a gayer path. You bastard.

THE COURAGE OF ESTHER
Esther 5:2 And it was so, when the king saw Esther the queen standing in the court, that she obtained favour in his sight: and the king held out to Esther the golden sceptre that was in his hand. So Esther drew near, and touched the top of the sceptre.

Yall wanna hear a kinda funny, kinda sad story about my grandmother and hetero-normativity?
Ok, so... when my grandmother was in her 50s (I was an infant), she met a woman at the Unitarian Church. And, as can happen when you meet your soul mate, this event made it impossible for her to deny parts of herself that she had fiercely hidden her whole life.
All the drama- their affair being found out, the divorce with my grandfather, the court battle over who got the house, happened while I was a baby. Even in my earliest memories, it's just Mama Jo and Oma, and my grandfather lived elsewhere (first his own apartment, then a nursing home, then with us.)
But here's the thing- no one ever explained any of this to me. No one ever sat down and was like "hey, Rosie, so do you know what a lesbian is?" It was the 90s. It was Texas. I think my mom was still kinda processing all this, and just assumed that like... I was gonna figure it out. Don't mention it, let it just be normal. Like I think my mom thought that if she explained the situation, she would be making it weird? I dunno.
But like. In the 90s, in all the movies I had seen and books I had read, do you know how many same sex couples I had seen? Like. 0. Do you know how many "platonic best friend/roommates" I had seen? A lot. I had no context, is what I'm saying.
I literally thought this was a Golden Girls, roommates, besties situation until I was like...I dunno, 11? 12?
It was actually their parrot, an African Grey named Spike, imitating my grandmothers voice saying "Johanna, honey, it's getting late", that triggered the MIND BLOWN moment as I realized that *there's only one master bedroom and it only has 1 waterbed* when all the pieces finally clicked.
Anyway. I think it's a real important thing for kids to know queer people exist, for a lot of reasons, but also because kids can be clueless and it's embarrassing to have your grandmother be outted by a parrot because everyone just thought you'd figure it out on your own.
Anyway, here is my grandma and her wife, my Oma, after they moved to Albuquerque to be artsy gay cowboys and live their best life. They helped run a "Lesbian Dude Ranch" out there (basically just with funding and financial support. As Oma has explained "traditionally, most lesbians don't have a lot of money" so they wrote the checks and let the younger ladies actually run the ranch.)
