I have 11 piercings, so this gives me the authority to give hcs about nations and piercings
Romano: One little stud for each earlobe, nothing more. Very fashionable stuff, nothing crazy. Something to complement his suits.
Norway: I literally saw a fanart of him using his cross as a long earring and it fits so well, that I appropiated that look for him.
Finland: One on each earlobe. Might have 1 or 2 helix piercings.
Egypt: As far as I know, the only one with a proper piercing. I don't imagine him with more, that single one is perfect.
Romania: Probably has 2 on each earlobe. I can also imagine him having fang-like piercings, 2 at least.
England: Whether it is because of punk rock or sailor stuff, I can't imagine him without pierced earlobes, probably uses a hoop. I can also see him with a single, lip piercing.
Belarus: Belarus is my rocker girl. Leather just suits her great. So a heavily pierced ear wouldn't be strange for her. I might also imagine her with a hoop on her nostril.
The Netherlands: A very 90s eyebrow piercing.
Cuba: Regular earlobe piercings. I might also imagine him rocking a somewhat stretched earlobe? It would have a pencil-like diameter, tho. I think that would compliment his dreads.
Seychelles: Just one nostril piercing. A bright stud that compliments her perfectly.
As for others, I might imagine them with piercings from time to time but there are nations I definetely can't see with piercings... (those being Germany, Japan, Russia, America, France, Greece, Austria,...)
TOP 10 ANIMANGA ON FANFICTION.NET BASED ON NUMBER OF FANWORKS (1999-2022)
To make this bar chart race, all series titles in the Anime/Manga Section on November 29 (or the closest date to it) of every year were copy-pasted from Wayback Machine to Google Sheets, rearranged according to number of fanworks, and then inputted to Flourish to turn into a bar chart race.
In 1999-2001, FFN used Anime as a catch-all tag for all anime that didn’t have their own category yet before it was removed in 2002 onwards.
In 1999, fanfiction weren’t divided into sections like Anime/Manga, TV, Books, etc. yet. It was just a small list of mixed fandoms.
Originally, the fanfiction list was sorted alphabetically too, but was changed to number of fics at around early 2013.
By November 2013, FFN started abbreviating numbers above 1,000 to K, so exact numbers aren’t available for series with more than 1,000 fanfiction.
Thanks for understanding and hopefully I didn’t mess up anywhere! 🙏
Edit: This bar chart is all made with the assumption that the numbers listed in section are correct. I can’t seem to get the same numbers for some for these series when I go to the specific series’ page and filter everything to All though… I don’t know if I’m missing something or not…
For example, currently, the anime/manga section says Naruto has 439k fics, but going to the Naruto page and filters, ratings and language to All, it says there’s only 413k fics. There’s also 37.3k crossover fics, but adding would be equal to 450k fics… If anyone can clue me in on how FFN calculates these numbers, I’d be very grateful.🙏
