the thing is... JK Rowling did write the books. She certainly did write the books, which was the pivotal first step.

However, here is an incomplete list of people who meant more to my experience of reading and enjoying the Harry Potter books than JKR ever did:

My grandmother, who read them because she loved to read and because she wanted to understand what the hell her granddaughter - whom she'd recently moved 3,000 in part to live near - spent 90% of her time talking about; who passed away this past fall.

My other grandmother, who read them for more or less the same reason except without the cross-country move; who passed away in 2014. It was in her honor that I bought the current set of books I own.

The uncle-shaped family friend who always listened to me expound on my latest theories for the next book, and told me his own like an equal in intellectual debate

That one writer on Mugglenet's fanfiction archive who wrote a crack soap opera fic in which Professor McGonagall got pregnant from Crookshanks, and the children were cat-human hybrids whom they called "kiddens." That haunts me to this day.

Honestly, collectively every single person who wrote content, be it recordkeeping, fic, or analysis, for MuggleNet circa 2005-2008. Some people spent their internet-childhoods on Neopets or Club Penguin; I read every single page on MuggleNet.com.

The summer camp counselor who'd read HBP when I hadn't yet, and who responded to my positively tsundere attitude toward spoilers by telling me straight-faced that Harry started dating Luna [not Ginny]. A) The fucking audacity! she lied right to my annoying 10yo face! B) I got to experience the giddiness of finding out what happened twice, once then and again later when I read the book! Thank you, Natalie(?) from Y-Camp!

The two friends with whom I went to the DH midnight release party at my local secondhand bookstore, in closet cosplay. We were all in the first 5 people to get our books, and we promptly started reading them while standing outside the bookstore, in the light coming through the front window. 1 of them was parentally required to go to bed but the other and I stayed up all night reading, until we finished the books sometime mid-morning.

My dad, specifically when he (still) tells the story of having to make a "walk of shame" (his words) back to the bookstore the next afternoon, to ask if they had the broom we'd accidentally left behind.

The tourists from America, England, France and China who were all waiting in line at the Platform 9 3/4 overpriced photo op in King's Cross Station the same time I was, in the summer of 2013, which unironically made me feel more spiritually connected with humanity as a whole than possibly any other experience in my life. Like, this is embarrassing. It's a pure tourist trap. Yet people from LITERALLY all around the world had all made the same journey I had to be there, just because we all loved the same books. and that's...really special.

...you know? So, JKR is doing real harm to the trans community now, and will continue to do more and maybe even worse in the future; and I am so, so sympathetic and angry about that. I have no intention of giving her money or any other support ever again, nor of encouraging anyone else to do so.

But all her present vitriol is only drops in the lake of my warm memories. I don't let them give me a falsely rosy view of her, but nor will I let her poison them. And I encourage others to let themselves find the same balance, if they can.

#hp #i am...not going to tag this beyond that #it'll travel in the right circles if it's meant to #this is me

regarding your rant on frances design: TELL ME ABOUT IT. tbh i think all the designs peaked with beautiful world, and everything after that was just...discount budget versions of whoever theyre supposed to be. the beautiful world designs are GORGEOUS on their own, but compared to world stars? theres no contest. some designs i do like, like england looks nice, if not a little too polished, and portugal is really cute, but everyone else just got twinkified and butchered. and i love a twink! i do! but they look like they could be swapped out with my little pony designs and it wouldnt make a difference. france to me will always be a blonde with a ponytail, a little unkempt, with chest hair and stubble and flamboyantly manly with a touch of tragedy. thats france to me. not whatever waif they cooked up in the more recent series

// ok ok i can't tell if u mean like ''oOOOh tell me about it' as a phrase or u actually are inviting me to tell you about it but i'm going to take it as permission to ramble <3 but im putting it under the cut so i dont spam

okok so UR SO RIGHT i think the new designs are so OFF... like it kinda lost the plot. the characters are all weirdly polished?

ok im just gonna run down the characters i have a lot of thoughts about CUZ my god

ENGLAND!!! its gotta be beautiful world

cuz the early seasons england gets his crankiness on point but this design fits just how cranky and posh(?) he is, like he dresses like an old man and wears outdated 'punk' fashion, he drinks tea like an old lady.. it fits hes cute and expressive.

this england isLOSING hair where did his EYEBROWS GO!!!! thats HIS WHOLE FUCKING CHARACTER but also i really dislike the change from him going from a dirty blond to a bleach blond... doesnt work...

i want my man to look like he has a nicotine addiction, rugged and smug as shit. i think they leaned too hard on the 'tsundere' trope for him cuz hes not puffy cheeks with pouty lips hes an old man with a laundry list of war crimes

ROMANO

ok. this one is a little hard cuz romano is good in ever season but he has these little minor changes that drive me CRAZY but my favorite will always be the earlier seasons

this ver of romano was a NASTY bitch he just showed up to be an asshole and i love it so much , i love his hair being dark brown with brown eyes ok , at the minimum his design fit his voice...

for beautiful world i think hes cute but i really don't ? like his eyes being green? like i dont know it just never felt right to me:( i like him having brown eyes

and later his design leans into the prev but when u look at him u don't see that one guy who REALLY doesn't wanna be here hes . too soft?

and the newer romano does have the bad attitude but now he's suffering from the 'progressively becoming a ginger' syndrome that a lot of hws characters have now

RUSSIA

my pick for him is all over the place bc i think his new design is SO FUCKING CUTE like i wanna bite him and crocodile death roll him but i think he is SUFFERING from cuteness.... hes so . soft?

earlier seasons of russia showed up just to say some morbid shit and be brutal as fuck but he could also lean into being cute, thats his whole gimmick, cute but scary. his current design is cute with no threat.

i think beautiful world had that balance between cute and scary, he was cute and say mean shit like before and was ready to throw down any time america showed up, thats his whole deal. and you know at the bare minimum he's supposed to be fucking BIG and world stars makes him look like a fucking twink

SPAIN

beautiful world was WORKING to make spain look good, he was ugly . he was boring. and then he walked in with a new tan and a warm hair color and the cutest smile (tho its hard to find pics of spain in these seasons cuz hes younger in a lot of them) and then it's just

what the hell happened here. i feel like im going insane but did his skin tone get ashy? like it looks more grey. and i know saying spain is 'tan' is generous but what the fuck happened. why did all his colors dull, why is his hair so . boring. where did the body mass go, where did the attitude go... world stars spain is very 'head empty' and not in a good way ....

CHINA

one of the most overlooked characters but i love him

i think my favorite ver of him is still his original cuz i preferred him with dark brown hair and dark brown eyes and he's side part... it was so cute... and they swapped it for a middle part .... </3

like he was so cute ;; plus i preferred him as this kinda irritable older know it all character, like he was groaning and huffing and did NOT want to be there. but then he kind of got? infantalized(?) i think they wanted him to be cute but idk if china is considered one of the ancient nations by its own rules, then can we tone down the :333 factor on him a bit

like just comparing but this might be me raise hands at hima for this characterization. what did you do to my boy

like do u see it. am i crazy

these bitches

these 4 just suffer from success in their OG and the beautiful world just made them way better (except i miss italy's darker hair </3) and then they just got handed bad animation in world stars

ok thats all i have time for rn BUT YEAH

#THANK YOU FOR TALKING TO ME ABOUT IT #I LOVE WHEN I GET TO RAMBLE ABOUT THEM CUZ I HAVE LIKE 2 HETALIA FRIENDS THAT I CAN TALK TO.... </3 #mun talks #ohh tumblr fucked up my formatting ....L

Now my Hetalia passion has flared up again to early 2010s levels I’m feeling the itch to get back into writing fanfiction…which I really shouldn’t because I’m so bad at finishing things unless they’re one-shots 😂

EITHER WAY I’ve got an idea for a FrUK fic where Arthur’s magic gets so fed up with his centuries of endless tsundere posturing that it rebels against him and starts showering Francis with embarrassing affection. Because magically powerful but inept wizard Arthur is always fun and “character A is in denial about their love for character B, but it comes out through their magic anyway” is a trope I LOVE

It starts small. Arthur tries to hand Francis a pen and it poofs into a red rose when it touches Francis’s fingers. Arthur is flustered but manages to brush it off (Arthur’s Death By Mortification level: 5%)

After a brief scuffle over who gets the last chair with padding (“HAHA SUCK IT, ASSTOWN FRENCHY!!” - the former nation of Prussia) Francis tears his favorite silk shirt. He bemoans it to Arthur…only to find it’s suddenly fixed itself. Arthur denies all responsibility and says France just made a mistake as usual. France is adamant he didn’t (Arthur’s DBM level: 15%)

Francis, already one of the world’s prime gourmets, invites the G7 to dinner and his cooking jumps up another notch to stratosphere levels after Arthur takes his first bite. Everyone notices (Arthur’s DBM level: 30%)

Whenever Arthur visits France the country is blessed by mild winters, springs that would stun a poet, glorious summers, and radiant autumns. Meteorologists are baffled but no one is complaining! Except Arthur. The UK meanwhile suffers constant dark, glowering skies and sulky storms (Arthur’s DBM level: 50%)

Francis and Arthur stroll through the French countryside, Francis points out a historical excavation sight, and oh look what do you know: they just happen to pull out some ancient treasure that will be a crown jewel of the Lourve. Francis ecstatic (perhaps it was even something he lost centuries ago). Arthur quickly excuses himself and runs home (Arthur’s DBM level: 70%)

Pre-meeting, Arthur overhears Francis sighing that the Italy brothers are a shoe-in to take the world prize for best cheese this year (because that’s a real contest that France and Italy have an annual slap fight over) since the French cheese makers have had a bad year. Only oh no they actually haven’t! Seems there was a late entry that blew the judges socks off and gets France another gold. Francis is ecstatic again…and getting a little suspicious by this point. Arthur hides in a closet and wishes nations could know the sweet release of death (Arthur’s DBM level: 85%)

Francis brings up the Olympics at a World Conference and Romano, still sore over the cheese, loudly remarks that of course France will top the medal board with England “helping” so much with his “fucking Harry Potter wizard BS.” Suddenly all eyes on Arthur, France included. Kill him. Kill him now (Arthur’s DBM level: about 5 million)

Arthur when he gets home: STOP FUCKING DOING THESE THINGS FUCK YOU

Arthur’s magic: Nah fuck you, man *Flips him off twice and gives Paris another tourism boost*

#Hetalia #fruk #my posts #fruk fanfiction #or at least a plan for one #fruk is so good #love me loads of hetalia ships but fruk takes gold #like france’s cheese lol #aph england #aph france

Oh my gosh, I have a deep deep deep dislike of canon nyo England that directly connects to 2014. Like I GET that she is supposed to be "tsundere" but like....really....drawing the British Empire with piggy-tails and girly dress?? I just can't.

Ohhh lord youre preaching to the choir!

The deep unrest and discontent from seeing those pigtails and that alice in wonderland dress always makes me physically and emotionally sick.

I generally dislike tsundere characters. Always did bc its soooo (in my mind) surface level.

Give me deep emotional development in characters! I get it! Hetalia is a Japanese anime and rules are followed, history disregarded, but in the year of your lord 2024, whats the appeal to the ever older fandom? Why make her a "b-baka!" When you can make her a "God may have mercy on my enemies, but i sure wont" type of gal.

I just think pig tails fem england had her time, its 'dark under eye circles, croscheting while hungover middle aged woman past her empire prime' era we are in right now.

Then again, people can have their likes and dislikes. Love and portray these dumbasses as you wish.

do you think hima did a good job portraying Russia? Who's your fav character besides him?

It seems to me that Hima drew satirical manga, so it is difficult to talk about any truly good (in a serious sence of this word) portrayal of any character. 😁

Although it seems to me that Himaruya very correctly captured the image that was built up by kremlin's propaganda in the late 2000s, and not just captured it, but got to its real essence - that's why the character of Russia came out the way he did in the manga: a bit (?) unhunged loner who wants to make friends by forcing them to be friends with him, not understanding why his actions are harmful (I can write a detailed post about it if I have time and if you want). Personally I'd portray him differently, but I see where this image came from.

But I remember when I first found out about hetalia (it was around 2009), my favourite character was England. Tsunderes are always relatable.😁

Thinking about the British Invasion and how feral America was for all things British, I mean the anglophilia was off the charts, never had a nation in real life wanted to fuck another nation so bad. It's like the ancient version of the American tumblr girlies who were obsessed with One Direction, Doctor Who and Sherlock Holmes and would post shit like "if I had a British accent I would never shut up 🇬🇧😍".

Honestly think that America has some semi tsundere tendencies when it comes to England/UK both in hetalia and real life, cause one decade Americans will be fawning over all things British and the next hating all things British, can you guess what the next decade will be like 😭😭😭

Nevertheless, my headcanon is that America has a room that looks like this locked away in his/her home:

Edit: these are the post I'm talking about, America was down BAD, like stand UP 😭😭😭

#ukus #arthur kirkland #aph america #aph england #hws england #hws america #America unironically wearing union jack leggings with uggs in 2012 much to everyones horror and England's satisfaction #hetalia #amelia f jones #nyo america #nyotalia

Unexpected pt. 5

Summary: He returns to Kattegat, somehow alive. Too many things have changed while he was away.

Notes: I’d estimate that Ragnar + Ivar went to England for maybe a little over a month to two months. Also rewrote his arrival to be a bit more realistic than in the show (Why tf would the Saxons wait for a bunch of Northmen to see them come and go??)

Also, only a few people gave me their opinion on the whole pregnancy thing. If u wanted this to be without a pregnancy trope, feel free to comment!! I might write an alternative version in that case.

Taglist: @bragisrunes @deans-ch-ch-cherrypie @punkrocknpearls @alicedopey, @ivarlover @levithestripper @tsundere-cherry-girl @buddhasoull @mypinklion @katieskidmore1 @vrtualfairy @akayxo09 @batmandallyboy

Masterlist | part 4 | requests are OPEN! | hmu to be added to a taglist!!

Ivar didn’t know how he had survived England or King Ecbert. He’d expected to die at the hands of an English soldier. Yet, these Saxon men had sailed him back all the way to Kattegat, pushed him off the boat and left as quickly as they could.

He sat himself up, having lost his braces in England. He needed time to think about how he’d tell mother that Ragnar was dead.

The people of Kattegat saw the Saxon boat before they noticed their prince, but in the matter of a few minutes, Ivar spotted Ubbe and Y/N running towards the docks. Immediately, he saw that they both looked incredibly tired.

Ubbe reached him first, hugging Ivar tightly. It was something he hadn’t done upon Ivar’s request for years, since Ivar hadn’t wanted him to embarrass him further. But now, he was glad for the embrace, even if he would never admit it.

Before either of them could say anything, she was next to him.

“You’re alive, thank the Gods.” She whispered, her hands shaking. Ubbe moved back, leaving them to their moment.

“You look…” Ivar began, before he trailed off. She looked tired, exhausted even, but he noticed the clothes she was wearing immediately. They were fit for a merchant’s daughter, and while they suited her, Ivar also saw her discomfort with wearing them.

He connected the dots quickly.

“Who freed you?” he demanded. For a moment, he suspected that Sigurd had done it, to take her away from Ivar, but that notion made no sense. It wouldn’t work, his mother wouldn’t have allowed it.

She sighed. “There’s a lot you missed. We should talk… somewhere else.”

Ivar noticed the crowd that had gathered behind them, whispering. He could see Torvi’s intricate braids disappear between the people that had gathered too. Why was she already back from Hedeby? Had Bjorn and Hvitserk returned?

Ubbe hoisted him up, and the two of them transported Ivar away from the whispering masses, towards the forest.

He noticed their faces of pity. It wasn’t something he was used to from them. As soon as they set him down, it spilled out of Ivar.

“Ragnar is dead.” He said. To his surprise, they nodded.

“We know. Sigurd and I saw Odin.” Ubbe explained.

“Who freed you?” Ivar asked her.

“Lagertha.”

“Why would Lagertha have any choice in the matter?” he snapped.

She glanced over at Ubbe, who gave her a small nod.

“Aslaug is dead. Lagertha killed her.”

And with six words, Ivar’s world came crumbling down.

“No.” he said. “It can’t be true.”

“It is true.” Ubbe affirmed.

“Then where the fuck where you? Where were either of you?” he screamed. Roughly, he pushed her away from him. Ubbe caught her before she could fall, and Ivar felt a stab of guilt in his gut.

“Hedeby.” She answered quietly. Ivar let out another shout of frustration.

“Tell him the reason.” Ubbe mumbled to her, before he slipped away. Ivar wanted him to stay, so he would have someone to fight with. He didn’t understand why Ubbe was leaving.

“I’m sorry.” He said. “I shouldn’t have pushed you.”

“No.” she agreed. “But you did.”

Quietly, she sat down next to Ivar.

“What reason did Ubbe mean?” he asked after a while.

“Why Lagertha freed me.”

She took a deep breath, and subconsciously, Ivar grabbed her hand. He felt the quick pulse in her wrist, noticed her shallow breathing.

“Why are you afraid?” Ivar asked.

“I don’t know how you’ll take this.” She said.

“You cannot make me hate you, unless you sided with Lagertha.” He replied.

She shook her head quickly. “I tried to protect your mother. I really did. I know she meant a lot to you, and I’m sorry.”

“I don’t think I have to forgive you.” Ivar said softly. “What is it?”

“I’m with child.” She blurted out.

“I don’t- I can’t-“ Ivar began. “I don’t understand.”

“Just because your legs don’t work doesn’t mean you cannot have children.” She replied. “I didn’t think I’d get with child because I hadn’t had my moon’s blood in months before I came to you. I guess you fed me enough. She freed me because I’m carrying a prince.”

“Did you tell her?” Ivar demanded.

“She’s a mother. She was the first one to notice.” She admitted.

“And I’m the last one to find out.” He concluded.

“I would have told you, but there was the slight problem of an entire sea between us.” She joked. Then, her face grew more serious. “You’re not going to leave me, right? I know that Lagertha is using me as a bargaining chip, but I can’t raise a child alone. I’m barely above what I used to be.”

Softly, Ivar laid a hand on her belly. There was no way of noticing if she was pregnant yet just by looking, but he felt prouder than he ever had. He was normal, he could be just like any other man.

“How could I ever leave you?”

She let out a sound that was between a laugh and a sob. Ivar noticed the tears glittering in her eyes and reached up to cup her face. Softly, she grabbed his wrist, giving his palm a soft kiss.

“Who would’ve thought?” she said.

“Gods, I love you so much.” Ivar blurted out. “You’re all I have.”

She laughed again. “Sometimes I wonder how you can be so smart and yet so stupid. You have Ubbe and Hvitserk, and maybe even Sigurd. And if you put just a tiny bit of effort into it, the people of Kattegat will love you far more than Lagertha.”

“Don’t talk about her now.” Ivar hissed. She nodded, and hugged him tightly. Ivar sunk into her embrace. When he closed his eyes, he could pretend this forest was the whole world, and they were the only two people in it.

No Lagertha, no Ragnar, no Saxons. Only them.

***

The only reason why Ivar did not burst into the Great Hall with axe in hand to kill Lagertha was because she was carrying his child. He knew that this was already changing the stakes in Lagertha’s favor, but Ivar could not care less.

Instead, he grabbed her by the arm and went straight to his room. There, he sat down on his bed, trying to calm down and failing miserably. He noticed quickly that nothing had dusted over while he was gone, but was still in the same place. Well, except for the bedsheets.

“You slept in the bed.” He said.

“I hope it doesn’t bother you. You were gone and Queen Aslaug did not mind. Lagertha insisted.”

“She wants me out of the way.” Ivar realized. “If I marry you, my marriage cannot secure any alliances.”

She looked to the ground, the hurt in her face apparent.

“That’s not what I meant.” Ivar tried. “But it’s what Lagertha is trying to do. All she cares about is placing Bjorn on the throne.”

“You don’t necessarily need a political marriage to become King.” She replied.

“King?” Ivar asked. “I only meant that I was weakening Bjorn’s claim.”

“I know your ambitions reach higher than that, Ivar.”

Ivar looked over to her, and she was smiling to herself as she pulled the sheets tighter on the bed.

“Do you want to be queen?” he asked her.

“I want you to be happy. And you will be happy when you are great.”

“You’ve already made me happy.” Ivar insisted.

“Oh, but being King certainly wouldn’t hurt.” She replied cheekily.

Ivar grinned back, his mind going through the possibility. Of course he wanted to be a King, who was he kidding? To achieve that though, he would have to be greater than all his brothers combined. And he’d need an heir.

Luckily, one of those problems seemed to already be resolving itself.

He watched her walk around the bed, kneeling down in front of him. Quietly, she took his hands in hers.

“I will help you kill Lagertha.” She promised. “Your mother became quite dear to me before she died. But you lack patience. Let the people turn against her, as they will soon enough. Let time do the job for you, and they’ll see you as the hero that rid them from her.”

Ivar nodded, trying to ignore the itch for violence creeping up behind him. She was right. If he rushed into this, it would be like running into battle without a plan. Not that he’d been in one yet.

Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. Ivar stayed on the bed, but she went and opened it. To his surprise, it wasn’t Ubbe who was standing in the doorway, but Hvitserk.

“Little brother! I heard you had returned.” Hvitserk announced happily, pushing past her.

“Like you didn’t just come back.” Ivar grumbled.

“Any news?” Hvitserk asked. “I know of mother.”

Ivar contemplated for a few seconds. Hvitserk was his favorite brother, and he wanted him to know directly, and not from one of Lagertha’s lackeys.

“Nothing much. Well, you’re going to be an uncle.” Ivar said smoothly. Hvitserk laughed, but when Ivar didn’t follow, he stared at him. Then at her.

She nodded slowly.

“I’m going to be an uncle!” Hvitserk almost shouted. In two steps, he had crossed the room, pulling her into a hug and twirling her around. She laughed as he finally set her down, stumbling a little. Ivar was glad when he did not feel jealous.

“I’m going to be an uncle.” Hvitserk repeated in a sing-song voice, skipping around the room like a child. “Ohohoh, Sigurd is going to be pissed.”

“That was not the main point, but I suppose it is a bonus.” Ivar agreed.

“So when are you two getting married?” Hvitserk asked.

She hadn’t drunk anything, but she still coughed as if she had swallowed a particularly large gulp of water the wrong way, and Ivar’s eyes widened.

“Mother said-“ Ivar began, doubt creeping up in him.

“Mother would gladly marry the two of you now. She respected Lagertha, liked her even, and the woman turned against her. Believe me, she would not mind.”

Ivar sat there in silence, thinking about his brother’s words.

“Please let me be there?” Hvitserk begged, as if the whole marriage had already been agreed on, and not just an idea he’d thrown into the room.

“You wouldn’t need an invitation.” She snorted.

“You would marry me?” Ivar asked, unbelieving.

“Have I given you any reason to believe the opposite?” she replied.

“I-“ Ivar stuttered. “No bridal race.” He coughed out finally.

Hvitserk’s grin widened even more as he made to leave the door.

“Where are you going?” Ivar demanded.

“To the market. I’ll find some fabric for the wedding dress. No offense little brother, but your taste in fashion is mostly… opulent or dark and brooding.”

“Ivar hasn’t agreed to marry me yet.” She said quietly. “Or even said that he wants to.”

“Oh, you two are getting married.” Hvitserk decided. Ubbe, who had walked up behind him froze.

“Are they getting married?” he asked. Before Ivar or her could say anything, Hvitserk nodded enthusiastically.

“Fucking finally.” Ubbe muttered under his breath. “Ivar, you’re not choosing the fabric for the dress.”

“Why does everyone think I’d do so terribly?” Ivar asked, starting to get offended. He looked to her for help, but she was obviously trying to suppress a laugh.

“Fine. I’ll marry you and not get to choose anything about the dress.” Ivar hmphed.

“That’s good.” Ubbe nodded. “Now you only have to promise me you’ll make it through the evening without exacting revenge on Lagertha yet. Both of you.”

Hvitserk hesitated for a moment, before he nodded. Ivar kept his arms crossed firmly. As if he was going to let Lagertha live any longer than necessary.

“Ivar.” Ubbe warned.

“Fine. No murdering for tonight.” He agreed. She’d promised him his time would come, and he trusted her. Lagertha would die, and Ivar would revel in her death.

#3 and #21 for england!

3. Least favorite canon thing about this character?

Body type I don't consider any occidental country with a very slim body. They were warriors, they are/were kingdoms and empires. Their arms are strong, their legs and back are bold; in different tones, maybe, but tiny? don't think so.

Tsunderism Only screaming in rage or expressing exagerated emotions and making mistakes all day is not only England, Himaruya sensei *sighs*

21. If you're a fic writer and have written for this character, what's your favorite thing to do when you're writing for this character? What's something you don't like?

Fav thing His complexity. Arthur is like a rainbow with thousands of specters; you can just pick a color and work with him, and it won't be wrong or contradictory with another phase, even in the same fic.

Non-fav thing His obsession and stubborness with his properties (which include other countries) could be somehow problematic to maintain longer dialogues or to show a softer behaviour. Sometimes Arthus gets out of control; and I noticed this happens in others too, so I'm not alone! :´v

Thanks!

Hard to do Crossover

Time to time, watching the lots of crossovers fans do about Varian with anything, I thought about one of the fandom I liked and spend lots of years in it

Does any of you knew about the Hetalia fandom ?

Humanized countries anime, before the creation of Countryballs and Country humans but after the old newspaper cartoons about each one nation spirit like "Uncle Sam" for the USA and "John Bull"for the UK?

(My mind playing easy and silly after a whole day playing difficult xD)

Varian and Hugo cosplaying France and England because I can't decide which one fits better 🫠😎🤓

Super silly draw ~ hahahhahahahah

(My mind playing difficult before that fanart)

I tried to find who in the Hetalia cast would be fitting for a role swap with the Vat7k characters, but they are so different from each other , even the similar things between them have to be pushed xD

Long time ago, my favorite fanfics and fancomics were "Historical accurrate" focused, but most the content was about romance , so I endup becoming a big fan of:

FrUK : France x United Kingdom

USUK : United States x United Kingdom

Usually along with "FACE family" Dynamic, France and England as parents , Canada and America as adoptive sons

Then , I got a more deep liking for England , so I would get any England x (any other country) material

As well for USA x (any other country)

Varian: From a germanic country, so we have some to pick between the very Germany, or Prussia, Austria, Switzerland, Lietchestein, Bravaria or Kugel Mugel, but most of them have a serious stoic attitude

Except Prussia, who likes to play funny, is clean and disciplinated , writing a lot for his journal so everyone can know about his amazing adventures and goals, high self esteem, able to play teacher/mother/father/older brother role to any who wants to take lessons from him or who needs him, during the manga pages (and anime chapters) about Industrial revolution, he and his lil bro showed great engineering skills and enthusiasm.

Hey, when we think about Rapunzel, we were taught about her Germanic origins, then on the Tangled making, there was a mention about how the team wanted Germany as main influence and a few of Spain influence , and maybe not lots of you saw it, but there was a fanart about Prussia and Hungary cosplaying Eugene and Rapunzel that got re-posted on most old Facebook accounts about Hetalia

So feels like Prussia role was already taken at the Tangled cast, as well, Hungary on her cannon scenes, used a frying pan as weapon too.

Next pick for a fitting role for Varian, it may be , America? I don't know xD , joyful, friendly, strong, innovative, but doesn't knows how to measure his skills or social contact so he endups pushing everyone boundaries or ignoring safety codes, loves heroic tales and wants to be the hero of the situation at sigh, too bad he makes exaggerated bad takes due to his inexperience.

England, either for Hugo or Varian

A tsundere who suffered social exclusion during his early existence, who fought all the way to stop being poor, forgotten and put aside to reach riches, glory and power, not losing contact with his magical paranormal friends, yet, having difficult times to accept friendship or love from others, facing betrayings as well, a little bit of low self esteem, trying to compensate with other things (as with aggression and search for more power), for innovation, he tried engineering but his ideas were too eccentric so he would end up laughed at for his impractical machines, yet, searching ways to improve.

I need to make this shorter so I'll skip talking about France

As well about China or any other asian country for Yong

Sadly for Nuru , there are very few African or Oceanic based characters, most of them on a sole official videogame of the series with not enough screen time on the show, yet, nice to search around the fanbase

Any way, find something for an "accurrate " role swap is difficult, maybe cosplaying would be the only thing I would fantasy about xDdDDDDdD

The only "legit" version for a Crossover of Hetalia and Tangled would be creating brand new OCs of each one of the locations in the map of this world, specially about the 7 kingdoms

Bayangor looks kin to any country from Southeast Asia , so I would pick Indonesia (the series got a femenine character sketch, but then, changed it for a male one, either way, just for the manga and not the anime)

Galcrest and Nesdernia would certainly be about native american communities, sadly, most of them are drawn as OCs for the fandom, no actual cannon characters

Pittsford and Corona looks germanic enough, hehe, we could pick similarities with other European countries

The Dark Kingdom gave hints about Scotland , so it's easier

Ingvarr, according to some post, was supposed to be Persian/ Arabic influence, as well for Koto, African influence, but is vague, and both of them, reversing the role of colonization, looking like ... O dear, I have to go.

And that's all, I have to go 🥭⛅🥭🌟🌳🌟🫧⛅🫧⛅🌳🌟🌀🌀🌻 thanks for reading 🪷🌠🏵️🌹🏵️🌹🏵️🌹🏵️

Urgh I'll do an actual summary at some point but Jude's SEKRIT STORY some random tidbits:

Roger is treating him via injections for some illness/disease with experimental drugs

He says Jude has weak bronchi/lungs

The drugs may or may not kill Jude, especially if they fuck up the composition, but Jude doesn't seem to give a shit

Jude is really annoyed that Roger tells Kate all this and says it's none of her business

Jude in fact continues telling Kate it's none of her business as she begins to worry about him both being sick, smoking, and taking INCREDIBLY SUSPICIOUS AND POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS DRUGS

Later she finds him reading some book with a title so complicated she doesn't even get it and starts trying to pry a bit

Kate: uh should you be smoking?

Jude: fuck off it's none of your business x3 *smokes harder*

I THINK what's discussed here is an allusion to the fact that people used to believe smoking was medicinal and actually helpful

Jude says basically he's not gonna stop either the drugs or smoking cause he's made some gd promise that he'll live AKA he can't just let himself die

Kate all AHA IS THAT WHAT THIS IS?

More of Jude telling her to fuck off it's not her concern, he's clearly annoyed he let that much slip

Puts his smoke out and smirking asks if she's offering to kiss him instead

His snide offer goes nowhere obvs but Kate is left worrying about him hardcore and wondering who that promise was made to that has Jude taking such risks to keep it

Things that make me go hmmm AKA my random conjectures:

Bad lungs and/or lung conditions could be any number of things in Victorian England. Consumption (tuberculosis) definitely comes to mind, but given what I assume to be Jude's clearly unrefined upbringing it could also be various occupational diseases of the poor - children were often employed as chimney sweeps which was terrible for their lungs, as well as working in coal mines.

Theories on the promise...made to a friend? Or a family member, most likely deceased? These seem the most likely scenarios to me. Also might explain why he's so against the concept of 'love' if people have died on him and left him alone and he doesn't want to put anyone else through that pain.

Also of course in typical tsundere/asshole style he's a dick about Kate worrying over him because we all KNOW it makes him feel bad to make her feel bad. I see right through you sir, you're about as opaque as glass. 🔍

Now I have to send this answer back to you! Do you feel you have changed the way you write England (and France!) since the beginning? In what ways do you think you have improved when writing them?

Oh GOD yes!

On England:

I used to write him more as per old fandom norms: stereotypically tsundere, grumpy, quick to react, and emotionally a bit all over the place in regards to how he came to certain conclusions. All from the anime, of course, which definitely flavoured how the fandom wrote and portrayed him as a whole

But mostly, he's unchanged. Most of those traits didn't last too long for me. As soon as I tried writing him in a long form story he rigidly rebelled haha. He's always had a very strong and set personality in my head and my Arthur from 2011 is the same guy he is for me today, just with a few more bells and whistles that I've since chipped off

The main ways he's changed I think is just through me improving as a writer and being able to better understand and portray nuance. I think he's a very complciated person, very layered and confusing even to himself, and whilst on the surface he might be contrary or stubborn the reasons he has for his behaviour make sense to him. I wasn't very good at showing this when I started out writing and my early Arthur is clearly written by a less mature writer and person. As I've grown, he's grown with me

On France

Boy, my old France got the short end of the fandom stick whacked at him. Unlike Arthur, who has always been himself with me for the most part, my old Francis personality was much more fandom incarnate from the early twenty tens. Bit of a sexual leech, a nudist, a party animal... a bit of a silly show piece with not too much thought into him. Dramatic for no reason

I think my old France is probably still recognisible as the character I write today for the most part, but I've since taken away all of the old silly fandom traits he was given and matured him up to make him more complicated. As the fandom has aged I feel we've all moved further and further away from the old anime portrayals, and I loved reading stories of Francis as this hyper intelligent cruel and vulnerable guy. I love giving him that capacity now, along with Arthur, and layering him up like a pretty lil onion

FrUK together

Honestly, I have said this before somewhere but as soon as I put the two of them in a scene that was it, they were the stars of the show. The first proper Hetalia fic I tried to write was USUK and Francis was supposed to be Arthur's childhood bestfriend and instantly they were the main characters. Instantly, their scenes together were my favourites, their dialogue my best, and they had more chemistry and intimacy than anything else. I converted myself to FrUK, I am the problem ahha

As soon as I wrote them together their relationship set solid and it's been unchanged ever since. It wasn't even planned, there was no room for growth- how they are now is how they were then. I abandoned that USUK fic and shifted to Reset and welp, been here with them arguing in my head ever since

The only way I write them differently is maybe how easy they are together? I used to write England more reluctant with affection and France more forceful, and they've softened with age as I've smoothed out the old rigidities of their characters. It's the same now, just softer

#also! writing characters as being somewhat contradictory is a thing #A character can be stubborn and angry and proud but soften for one particular person #another character can be wise and patient and calm but go utterly banannas in rage for one dickhead #I used to think 'oh blah blah would never do that'#maybe they would for /one thing/ though #maybe they could in a different situation #knowing that really helped me to write characters and be more relaxed with myself #this was a mean ask cake i'm sorry but you answered it so well and i really wanted to know your thoughts #I hope you liked this answer and thanks for asking me in return!#heroes headcanons #aph england #aph france
