#eldritch aph nations

[if-you-like-pina-colada-s]

The nations are every age all the time. Because they are their people, and their people are newborn babies, children, teens, young adults, middle aged adults, older adults, elderly folks, and everything in between. Sure, they look 20 something, but when you look into the eyes of your nation, it feels like they're as old as you. They are every generation all at once.

And you know what, they'll dress like it too, they'll act like it too. From Gen Z slang to old timey sayings, they've got the vocabulary that speaks to everyone. From one time fads to styles that remain consistent through the years, they'll find an occasion to wear it. From bingo nights to club nights, they'll be there among the crowd. They are everyone all at once.

They are their people, and their people are everything, and so are they.

(cursed) APH headcanon time!

(nationverse where people know about the personifications of countries)

Alfred did not like Donald Trump at al. So, after he was elected, with the help of other humans, he manages to convince Trump that the personification of the United States of America is him

So essentially Trump has to discuss things with this eldritch abomination lil fella. He is s c a r ed, as he should be. 

To keep up with the façade, he convinced other nations to do it too.

Here’s a poster I made

The nations should be allowed to shapeshift into monstrous eldritch beings. And it should be a result of both the trauma they've faced and a reflection of how they've treated others. Because they can be beautiful things or horrid creatures. It's all a matter of how humanity, in essence, treats/sees them.

They are their people, as I've said before, and that includes their insecurities.

#hetalia #hws #hetalia headcanons #piña rambles #its a culmination of their sorrows and fears and regrets #a nightmarish form that exists within them that they try to hide away #like a monster in a cave hidden up high for centuries #if they can be beautiful angelic representations of human values virtues and dreams #they can be representative of human grief vengeance and fears too #eldritch aph nations #piña is making shit up

Mumbling to myself about how the nations are some sub-species of primordial gods of the earth who encompass the abstract and vague idea of a civilization or society as I walk across my dimly lit room which is covered in a mess of papers of all sorts, connecting dots with a shitty red yarn string all while running on 5 cups of coffee and 8 minutes of sleep.

#hetalia #hws #hetalia shitposts #eldritch aph nations #guys im. going insane #i licherally dont know how to explain the headcanons i have in my head to yall #stupid eldritchy cryptid nations #i need to telepathically connect with yall for you to truly understand how i see them #they are nothing but an abstract concept who found a mortal body to possess in order to communicate with their people #they belong to the earth and cannot live without it #the soil the plants the animals the people its the. its theirs do NOT mess with it or they WILL wreak havoc #their wrath is immeasurably terrifying and their love knows no limits #thats just their mortal form they actually look much more horrific and complex #they chose to look cute and sexy they could've been a glowing orb for all we know

At this point there are enough headcanons floating around in my head about the nations and their existence/nature of their being that I feel they deserve their own fucking nature documentary.

#hetalia #hws #hetalia headcanons #eldritch aph nations #nationlore #nationhood #aph nations #its a combination of a nature documentary and a historical one #they get interviewed of course #but fuck do THEY even know what they truly are??? #obviously yes it will be narrated by David Attenborough

I think I might very seen a headcanon somewhere about the nations having the ability to shapeshift. And honestly I really like the idea, but I feel we can be more specific on how that works and whatnot. But whatever here are some ideas and topics that I kind of came up with or just came to mind as things to think about.

A very good way to limit the whole shape-shifting power would definitely be limiting them to just be able to look human (so they can't shapeshift into anything unreasonable, they have to still look like their people)

We could have option A PLUS the ability to shapeshift into a national symbol (most likely their national animal or flower, or even shapeshift to look like a subject of a painting or art piece that was supposed to represent them)

I think the whole shape-shifting thing is cool because it can be an interesting way to look at the whole "they represent their people" thing. Also maybe a way one can look at how they view themselves and how they choose to look like to other people.

It can also be a comedic thing, idk. Like if they can shapeshift why do they choose to look like THAT. Y'know??

Possibly a creepy thing. Ah yes the shape-shifting immortal ones that embody the idea of a community. Eldritch beings.

#hetalia #hws #hetalia headcanons #idk just a thought #they are eldritch cryptids #eldritch aph nations #shapeshifting #i am once again asking hima to let them be terrifying horrors of nature #they choose to look affable and approachable but they don't have to be they just love their people that much #they could look like gods but they wanted to be smol

Haha just wondering. Just curious. Being immortal and all um. What would happen to the nations if they were... say... "killed" by a ghost or something?? Would they get "killed" and then wake up back in their bed like it was nothing but a horrible nightmare?? Would the ghost give em a free pass and let them be on their merry way like "aw shit its just a nation, nvm i guess, no haunting tonight :/" Like... if aph Mexico stumbled across La Llorona one night what would happen to them?? Would they still get kidnapped by her or would La Llorona just be like "aw man, it's just Mexico themself, oh well, no kids to kidnap tonight".

#hetalia #hws #hetalia headcanons #the second option is way funnier ngl #aph mexico #hws mexico #imagine if thats what happened #ghosts encounter one of the nations and they'll just be like #oh haha its just you #nevermind i guess you can go home now #eldritch aph nations #cryptid aph nations #immortal dorks #aph immortal

After giving this more thought I said "hell, why not put this out there". So here it is again but with a little more detail.

Hot take, probably the hottest take I've had on the existence of the nations:

What if other supernatural beings (or even paranormal beings) were scared of the nations in a similar way we are scared if spiders. In other words, despite maybe being bigger or meaner or (in our eyes) more terrifying, these other supernatural beings and entities are creeped out by the nations and would rather keep their distance from them.

For some reason, the 'thing' under the bed wouldn't dare lay any of their very (terrifyingly) long fingers on any of the nations, even if their feet are hanging off the bed by a lot. The thing at the end of the road, staring unblinking at them in their car, refuses to get closer. And in fact, if they drive toward it, it backs away like a scared animal. But oh God it is definitely NOT a normal animal. The 'creature' in the woods that normally stalks campers doesn't bother their campsite, it stays as far away as it can from them.

I just think it'd be very interesting and maybe even hilarious if the nations were scarier than the other cryptids and supernatural beings. At least it'd make for an interesting fanfic.

(And- side note- maybe, just maybe, the reason England has fairies as friends is because the mischievous little bastards figured being his friend would serve them better than being his foe. I find it odd that fairies, who are known for stealing children and being cruel to humans, would be so kind to England. I just don't buy it.)

#hetalia #hetalia headcanons #hws #nation lore #hetalia lore #eldritch aph nations #i didn’t put a lot of thought into this #but i feel like at least someone else can take this into a direction that makes sense #cryptid aph nations

[if-you-like-pina-colada-s]

I think.

The nations should have the ability to shapeshift, partially due to their inherent immortality.

We obviously know they aren't allowed to die as long as their nation is up and running. But what if the poor little lads are in a situation where their mortal human body cannot live? In your average daily situation, they have their rapid healing capabilities. But say they got stuck at the bottom of the ocean? (Why? Idk, submarine excursion gone wrong maybe?) Obviously they'd die, but if they're stuck under all that water pressure, how would they come back? They couldn't survive unless they change their physical bodies to adapt to the environment. Am I making sense? I feel like I'm not making any sense.

All I'm saying is, if they're not allowed to die, they should be able to shapeshift in order to adapt to conditions their human mortal bodies would not survive.

#hetalia #hws #hetalia headcanon #im not making sense but trust #am i implying they should be able to shapeshift into mermaids underwater? #thats a secret ill never tell #jk i will tell you yeah that is exactly what im doing #and who are you to stop me? its not like any of you care about canon plausibility anyway #piña rambles #she rambles about absolute nonsense like a mad lass #eldritch aph nations #they are not bound to mortal human bodies they coupd be so much more #i love putting these silly little guys in situations

Day 5 of asking Hima to let the nations be terrifying as shit

#hetalia #hws #hima pls im begging #reblog this with your creepiest/scariest headcanon abt the aph nations #eldritch aph nations

[if-you-like-pina-colada-s]

The only reason Hima doesn't let the nations be terrifying and powerful on screen is because he knows that if he shows them throwing a tank with their bare hands once I would go apeshit and I would be uncontrollable.

#Pls I am begging on my hands and knees #let them be the terrifying all powerful eldritch warrior gods they deserve to be #hetalia #hws #eldritch aph nations #i wanna see them #i wanna see them tear a bitch apart #i wanna see them be terrifying #let them u leash hell upon those who dare threaten them and their people #anskdkfkevabsidje

[if-you-like-pina-colada-s]

Lmao ok I just thought of the silliest idea, I think some of yall would like it.

You know how I talked about how the nations can shapeshift. And how I mentioned if that's so, that means they chose to look like that? Like, well, a human.

Well that made me think further. What do they ACTUALLY look like? What's their true, eldritchy form? And then I remembered the Jerries from Pixars movie Soul. Wouldn't it be funny if THAT'S what they looked like? I, personally, think it would fit the fact that they are really just abstract made up ideas in a form that is comprehensible to us humans.

#hetalia #hws #hetalia headcanons #eldritch aph nations #nationlore #idk i just really adored how the jerries were animated in the Soul movie #and i thought it was a very creative way to animate an abstract idea such as 'the coming together of all fields of the universe' #so why not apply it to the nations #since they too are technically just an abstract idea presented in a way which is comprehensible to the human mind #anyway i just think the jerries are funky lil two dimensional guys

[if-you-like-pina-colada-s]

I'm certainly no expert on human geography or the sorts. But I know for a fact that a lot of cultural things tend to be based on what we have in our environment. (An easy example: cultural cuisines. I mean, it's only logical you eat what you can find in your environment.)

Anywho. My point being. I think it'd be nice to see more of the connection between the aph nations and their environment. I think there's a lot of untouched potential there. We should appreciate more the fact that without the resources this beautiful earth provides us, these civilizations would be nothing. (And yet here we are abusing, overusing, and destroying it.) This earth is home.

#hetalia #hws #hetalia headcanons #ig #i wish thered be more of the connection between nature and the nations #there is so much beauty in that i think #also kinda going back to a headcanon i have about how they were born #eldritch aph nations #nationlore #nationhood

Hey Hetalia fandom, do we have a tag for eldritch horror aph nation stuff? Like, one we all agree on and can use. Cuz I really like hearing all the headcanons and seeing fan arts and fanfics that revolve around how the nations are not entirely human and are these eldritch immortal beings. But I would like if it were all under a tag or two so I could read or see stuff just based on that idea. I've seen some tags relating to it but I don't think there is a unanimous tag we use.

#hetalia #hetalia headcanons #eldritch aph nations #ideas??? #suggestions #pls i really like these kinds of headcanons but its like mining for diamonds under vague tags
