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 🪷🌠🏵️🌹🏵️🌹🏵️🌹🏵️
for the anon who asked about the holocaust portrayal in hetalia:
afaik, it's never touched upon, at least not in the anime. when i did a (very quick) google search, i also didn't find anything about it ever being mentioned, since hetalia was meant to be a comedy and historical atrocities like mass genocide aren't exactly funny.
most controversies surrounding the holocaust and hetalia seemed to be started by the behavior of some fans (ie, going to auschwitz while cosplaying germany and doing the nazi salute), but again, i didn't do any in-depth research and am mainly going off on memory here, so take that with a grain of salt. especially considering that the mangaka did get critized for their portrayal of south korea (tho tbf, the mangaka did apologize for that and has changed the portrayal since then, iirc)
All my online friends have been made through the fandom, but my irl friends are not into (though most are aware from it either from me or just being online when Hetalia was big).
29. Do you cosplay any of the characters from Hetalia?
I would love too, but the cosplays I want to do are too expensive/I don't have the skills to make them.
34. What is the one thing about the fandom that irks you the most?
Hmm...Treating your interpretation/headcanons as absolute canon. Like I make the joke that something is canon sure, but usually I try to make clear that its a joke. But there are some people who get really heated and attack people who have different interpretations, headcanons, ships etc. from them. (side-eyes the people being dicks to people who headcanon Germany as bi. Luckily I haven't came across the bi Germany issue personally in a little while)
Also...This isn't meant to hate on anyone because I did this too or at the very least thought this too back in the day, but its become something that irks me: stating something is universally agreed on by the fandom. Yes I'm talking about certain Ger//Ita fans being like "everyone ships Ger//Ita" Like...we're a small group sure, but there are some of us who don't really ship the ship. Again, this isn't meant to hate on anyone or on the ship. I did this when I first got into the fandom. It's just something that has come to irk me personally. Luckily this mindset doesn't seem as common as it was back when I first got into the fandom.
With that said, as long as you aren't hurting people irl, headcanon what you want, ship what you will, just be respectful of everyone and of differing opinions.
As I said, been sick, emotionally and physically, so I haven’t had time to finish this yet, but eventually I will. But here were my ideas/projects for the entire week I didn’t get to do. I’m gonna do them eventually, but for now it’ll probably be shelved because I have other commitments to deal with.

The good thing about having a German boyfriend is.. he can be my personal Ludwig XD
Actually his middle name is Ludwig so :3c
Now all I need is all Hetalia outfits for him, I wonder if I can recreate some of Ludwig’s/Germany’s casual clothes and gather them so I can dress him up. He totes said I could and he’s chill with it and cosplaying as Prussia~
I swear this is why I got one of the best bfs ever
Tolerating my crazed fan bs ♥️
I know those Valentine’s Day outfits for them were 🫦
