What is your opinion on SuFin from a Swedish perspective?

Thanks for asking! From a historical and cultural perspective, SuFin is a ship that makes a lot of sense. Sweden and Finland were the same country for almost 700 years (that's only counting recorded history), and out of the Nordics, Sweden and Finland share the most traditions. I encourage everyone to read this post by Nordickies, which explains in detail the interconnectedness between Sweden and Finland through history, and how it could have affected Björn and Timo's relationship.

From my perspective, I used to dislike SuFin a lot because of how it's often written with this "stereotypical straight couple" relationship. Sweden and Finland's characters were always forced into these roles and the historical background of their countries was always brushed aside because it contradicted the forced wholesome dynamic. My opinion on SuFin was changed by the works of Haranonaka (who unfortunately removed all of their Hetalia works from their social media accounts in June 2023, and I only have a few individual images saved). Haranonaka redesigned Finland to be a confident and muscular character, and made many beautiful comics based on the history and conflicts between Sweden, Finland and Russia.

My design and characterization of Timo is strongly based on Haranonaka's Finland, although I made him less outgoing and smiley because I like the idea of Timo being a stoic person with a warm heart who rarely opens up to others. When I write about Timo, I'm thinking about this guy. (Björn for scale.)

My interpretation of SuFin aligns with Nordickies' analysis, with some changes to match my Nationverse. Geographically, Timo was living the closest to Björn out of the Nordic 5. As a child, Timo was physically weak and emotionally sensitive, which led to him getting bullied by Björn. Björn eventually stopped bullying him when they matured and Timo hardened his sensitive side, but they weren't close during the period of Swedish rule and earlier. Timo had an idealistic worldview as a child, so he wasn't too concerned when his land became Swedish territory. He noticed the lower status of the Finnish language and banning of Finnish pagan traditions under Swedish rule, but at that point, he had become so used to Swedish rulers that he didn't think it was out of the ordinary. His worldview was shaken when Finland was surrendered to Russia and granted autonomy, which made him eager to adopt a Finnish national identity. During this time, he felt a lot of irrational anger towards Björn even though he knew that Björn wasn't personally responsible for Swedish-Finnish relations. Björn was ashamed of bullying Timo and wanted to repair their relationship, so when Timo was serving in the Finnish army during the Finnish independence and continuation wars, Björn would secretly travel to Finland to give him and his fellow soldiers military aid. At first, Timo didn't want to have any contact with Björn, but after he realized how much money and risk Björn was taking to help him, he softened his attitude. Over the years after the war, they slowly opened up to each other. It wasn't smooth-sailing at all as their stubborn personalities led to a lot of arguments, but they learned to cooperate with each other and realized how much they have in common.

My SuFin is the opposite of the standard fandom version, because they're a couple with a lot of historical baggage caused by an unequal power dynamic. Not to mention the drastic language difference between them too. It's much more interesting to me that Björn and Timo started off with a broken relationship and have to put in work and sacrifice to fix it. The personification of Åland is their child, which was also a source of conflict in their relationship!

#ask #hetalia #sufin #hws sweden #hws finland #long post #the more you know #Åland and personifications of regions with historical Swedish and Finnish influence are my only candidates for SuFin's children #I do not acknowledge options that have no real-life relation to both countries ;)

CW: Discussion of depression and suicide (the concept in general, not anything personal)

Sinnoh's legendary plotline is a metaphor for depression. I don't mean this in the "Cyrus is depressed" way because yeah that's a big part of it but I mean the ENTIRE legendary plotline. The Mind trio! The combined negative effects of Azelf (losing willpower), Mesprit (losing the ability to feel emotions, positive or negative), and Uxie (amnesia, what can be interpreted as brain fog) are the symptoms of Major Depression. Without them, the world falls apart. Just, you know, outside of Pokemon it just happens inside someone's head. The world doesn't quite literally, physically end.

Cyrus, not to point out the obvious, is extremely depressed. He's also a Representation... not of suicide. Well, I mean,, you know.. but. He's something that happens to people. He's a manifestation of feeling so incompatible with the world, so weary of everything, not just of pain and suffering but of spirit (willpower) and just... all of it, to the point that destroying the world is the only possible thing he can possibly imagine doing to ease the [redacted by Mesprit] of it all. Destroying the entire universe and remaking it is, of course, a long-form way to commit suicide, but it's also an external event. Everyone's existence is under threat and so he is struggled against by the player.

This is a way to represent an internal event that's still an actual struggle against a bleak hopelessness so bad it wants to lead to the End Of Someone's World.

#pokemon #that isnt to say cyrus the character should only be a personification. this isnt a hetalia situation where i.e. countries are literally #personified #like. if the ground has the symbolic narrative then he's just the one standing on that tile #rambles #i gen dont know how to warn for this
