hi i think its really cool how much you know about the world and your headcanons are great :) do you have any hetalia blog recs? like ask blog or art or something

sjhkfh thank you for that compliment!! I’m just lucky enough to have travelled a lot (pre-covid) and fjkhgh I do try to do my due diligence (research) before I speak. admittedly I have not followed new people in a while, so some of my old favs aren’t very active, so this is me gushing about mostly friends and some blogs I admire a lot but don’t know personally:

@agentomato (and their personal blog @kerouacs) is great. Toma has amazing art and churns out content a lot. Their art style is so good. Like seriously! I have seen Toma through the years and their art is goals. Do you like Philippines? Do you like the USA? Do you like Czechia? Follow Toma. You will not regret it. Join the America Freding-Fredong Joe Squad. We support Philippines giving America increasing bad nick names. 

@iiuius my beloved. Art style to die for. Attention to detail and incredible character and the lighting. We have a similar creative process of taking a long ass time to finish a work because perfectionist tendencies but the end product? 11/10 worth it. I remember when I first saw her history of fashion series for germany and prussia years ago ajdkjf. Her nyo england is also absolutely iconic. 

@stirringwinds, @tomato-bird, and @neviart are OG favs, even though they have moved on from Hetalia for most part these days...but I have good news for you if you’re interested in Hetalia for the divinity aspect 👀 (ok but fr, they have some of my favorite art of all time and also very good takes on characters so if you wanted to excavate some old artifacts this is where I would go)

@historia-vitae-magistras / @draw-a-circle-thats-the-foxhole is a joy if you like FACE fam and other Commonwealth characters. Maggie is a wonderful writer and an excellent shitposter. You can get NA bros angst, incredibly researched trench porn, and stuff like CUM Trio all in one. What more can you ask for?

@alfredtalia is one of the sanest people I know in the fandom. My oldest mutual too at that? Consistently creates lovely art of the Koreas and has great OCs like Singapore and Mexico! Give @ask-north-korea a follow! I have essentially adopted her NK as a canon character in my verse at this point

@kisamesfacioplegia has some of my favorite meta art ever. The German vibes...the Holy Roman Empire....nation beings being nations.......there’s a lot of really amazing symbolism, and Nicky is a very thorough and deep thinker so this is a six stars kind of blog rate from me. 

@ask-risorgimento-italy is so, so good. The art style, the story, the research behind it, the animations. Seriously, Eli is incredible. This is like A++++ storytelling, you could hardly feel like this was based on an anime like Hetalia. I don’t know how to say this but, this ask blog. is just elevated.

@vartiart makes me wanna gush about historical fashion for 3 hours?? the art style is so cute, and I always love the coloring and the detail. just. everything is so good. it’s like comfort food? it makes me feel warm and really happy to see it every time. absolutely lovely. [gordon ramsay voice: oh dear. oh dear. gorgeous] vibes only here.

@gleepglorp has maybe one of my favorite styles ever in my years of being entrapped in helltalia. They just...draw faces with such distinct character that it brings me so much joy. Their Armenia OC is absolutely iconic. Very well-researched and informative. loose affiliation to Hetalia with other countries, but like...if you’ve been following my blog for a while, this is something I also tend to prefer half the time (you know, more realism).  

@peonycats singlehandedly holding up my cravings for more diversity in Hetalia content. And by that I specifically mean more towards the wonderful Africa OCs gracing my dash, as well as the great India and China content. There’s definitely more on countries (and even regions) that don’t get enough love nor attention in the English-speaking world, and I think they have good takes! 

@ask-pakistan gives so much love to their oc. like sincerely, there has been a few really great hetalia oc ask blogs that have come and gone in my years of hetaku, and this is probably fav one of this new age. you can just tell their pakistan is well-researched and has a very, well, lived vibe? I love their art and the relationships portrayed on the blog. And I get to learn something new about the region and country!! this one sparks joy is all I am saying.

@ask19thcentury-doctorgilbert is really, really good sjkfjk. I love the research and stories that come from this blog? I also learn a lot about the time period, and I have seen a lot of great ideas about prussia’s history and the various german states etc. just. I really enjoy their content and it’s fun to learn stuff!!! 

other hetalia art blogs with content or art styles I like to curate on my blog: @chiring-art / @gnostic-heretic / @friendly-neighbourhood-desi / @miillch / @thedisappointedidealist12 / @kochei0 / @ellmovy / @sully-s / @zsocca55 / @cynikbehaviour / @bougietalia / @ekinoksin / @sketchytea - skjfkj I have no idea if half of these still create content but these are just some blogs that I’ve really enjoyed hetalia art from that I can think off the top of my head atm

#so many good suggestions!!! thank you so much!!! 💖💖💖💖

What happened???

Basically, FrukMeRunning (Rayanne) made an Instagram story talking about how it's inherently racist to assume all of the Asian characters in Hetalia are related, specifically mentioned Nichu (JapanxChina) as an example of a ship that she doesn't think is incest.

People saw this post and immediately and incorrectly assumed that she shipped Nichu; because of this, tons of people began sending her hate messages (telling her to commit suicide, calling her a pedophile/incest supporter, etc). Eventually, somebody ended up doxxing her, and she deleted all of her social media accounts.

Once she deleted her accounts, some of the people who had initially attacked her went "Oops! Sorry, turns out she's not a proshipper! My bad!" and began to aggressively market Rayannes Redbubble, assuming that it would be enough to make up for what they did.

I'm usually not one to post about controversies (even when I made a post or two about the infamous blocklist, I ended up deleting them because I don't want my social media accounts to be associated with those things), but this particular case is just so infuriating to me.

Rayanne is an incredible artist and person, and she was wrongfully bullied off of her platforms for LITERALLY NO REASON AT ALL. She didn't even ship Nichu! And even then, let's assume for a minute that she did ship it:

oh my god you guys. who fucking cares

Who fucking cares if someone ships two fictional characters? THEY ARENT REAL. You can't use somebody shipping something you don't like as an excuse to send them death threats? What the fuck is wrong with you guys? How rotted does your brain have to be to make you think thats at okay in any scenario? People were telling her to commit suicide and then acting like they were some sort of hero.

The worst part is that the people who did it to her will face absolutely zero consequences whatsoever. I KNOW they won't, because some of the people who harassed her are making posts on Twitter just saying "Oops, I feel bad! Buy from her Redbubble!", and their followers are replying like "omg it's ok! take care of urself!🥺", completely ignoring the magnitude of what the person did. She got doxxed. Nobody involved in the harassment deserves to be so easily forgiven. This isn't a case of "we accidentally hurt someone's feelings!", it's a case of "we greatly misunderstood and overreacted to a situation and ended up essentially ruining someone's life!".

If any of the people involved in the harrassment are reading this, I say this from the bottom of my heart: truly, sincerely, go fuck yourself. Go outside and realize what it's like to be a rational human being again.

Buy some stickers from Rayanne's Redbubble.

#this fandom has become such a terrible place how does anyone think this is even remotely ok #I’m so sorry for what happened to rayanne #this is just the tip of the iceberg tho like we were twitter mutuals for a while and I saw the amount of harassment she received #not even because of ‘problematic ships’ or w/e but because she didn’t like gerita #and let’s not pretend this wasn’t about that too #like.... take a hard look at yourselves y’all

Am I the only one who thinks America and England seem to have switched places because England's voice is higher pitched and his features are rounder while America's voice is deeper and his features are sharper

It was the reverse up until a season ago

#england has gained weight and ame just hit one year on t. good for them :)

I haven’t been on tumblr for quite as long as a lot of people but over several years I’ve noticed this interesting gradual sorta,, shift in the general culture? that it went from this mostly depressed, nihilistic outlook where people would regularly joke about hating themselves and being hopeless and depressed, to a wave of vehemence of “STOP hating everything actually the world is Good and you deserve love!!!” type posts, to now, where those aggressive ‘PSAs’ have faded away and instead I regularly see people romanticizing simple things like stars and hot tea and rainy mornings, and waxing poetic about their friends, and just trying to put love out there. and I don’t know exactly what that means (someone who knows more than me could probably say something smart about generational expression and trauma or popular perception of mental health and whatnot), but I do know that it makes my heart very full to see people learn to love the world and themselves by extension, and a whole userbase adopting healthier coping mechanisms, and therefore teaching the younger users to do so as well. I might just be following different people, but I really do think we’ve grown. everyone has grown. five years ago it wasn’t unusual for the next post on my dash to be a scathing commentary on why nothing matters or an anon ripping into someone they barely knew or someone complaining about how pathetic their interests are. now I have mutuals who get excited and spam reblog art of cows and friends I see tagging each other in pictures of frogs and strangers writing paragraphs about how much I matter. it makes me happy. idk. just an observation I wanted to make. I think people are good and everyone’s just trying their best at the end of the day

#not to be an old man but this is so truw #when i was 18 i used to come to this website mostly to vent about my dysphoria and depression #and all of my friends and mutuals did the same #and now look at everyone!!! as much as you wanna say tumblr is a shithole it's so so much more hopeful than it used to be
