China: My beautiful son, I would cross oceans and move mountains for you. I would fly into the darkness if I knew it would make you happy.

Hong Kong: Okay, but can I have a Dorito?

China: I'm sorry but these are, unfortunately, my Doritos.

Honestly sometimes I feel like I'm tokenizing myself in debates about representation when I have to state that I'm a Southeast Asian/Filipina woman. I'm half white but I'm not white passing (I'm Southeast Asian/East Asian passing to those who don't know me).

Like, I can totally imagine people rolling their eyes at me when I say that but I shouldn't have to feel this way. I've had to navigate this fandom space as a person of colour for over 6 (well, this year I'm actually gonna be a 8 year hetalia fan... fml) years and not only that but as an Asian person who is primarily interested in Asian countries. Add in the fact that I've been a Mongolia bias for almost just as long and then can you understand my frustration at the representation/lack of representations Asians get in this community?

Perhaps I wouldn't mind the little representation as much if people weren't so blatant about how racist they are in the representation that they do give to Asians:

People making fucking racist covid jokes about China when Chinese and even just East Asian people are literally being pushed in front of trains in hate crimes that have increased due to covid, fanfictions that reek of orientalism, art that makes Asians look like caricatures which rivals that of ww2 anti Japanese propaganda, ignoring the canon and major Asian characters to replace them with minor white ones, for Mongolia as a Mongolia bias: the unnecessary demonisation of him.

Like. Ignoring them is one thing and yes it's incredibly annoying, especially when people go out of their way to ignore popular Asian characters. But the racism in the representation we do get is unreal. People are a better at it nowadays compared to back then but some people are still so blatant about it, and even when confronted about it, they still refuse to see the error in their ways.

I'm not saying you have to reblog and like every post of every non white character for the sake of it, I don't even do that, but I'm just pointing out how egregious it is when someone rightfully calls someone out on their racist depiction and blatant ignorance of non white characters and they try to make excuses.

ngl i think 'Ozymandias' is such a fitting yao and arthur poem for the 19th century.

there's yao, the worn out old nation and empire who has tasted defeat more than once (the qing dynasty itself was him being defeated by another!), facing arthur at the height of his arrogance, cruelty and flooded with the triumphant industrial power turning the wheel of british imperialism. to arthur, yao is that colossal wreck. but ah. yao has seen so many nations burn bright but short, and who is to say that destiny isn't written in arthur's future?

did i just see someone hc South Korea to be the child of North Korea and America post-WWII

#why this fandom has a particular obsession with making alfred the (good) dad of his colonial and imperial possessions (like liberia) #is smth i'll never understand #hws america #hws north korea #// disk horse #hetalia #hws south korea #LIKE THERE'S SO MUCH I COULD WRITE ABOUT THIS HOW IT PLAYS INTO NARRATIVES OF WHITE SAVIORISM AND THE IMAGERY OF AMERICA NEEDING TO “GUIDE” #THE “YOUNGER” “LESSER” NATIONS OF THE WORLD WHO ARE SO OFTEN CONVENIENTLY POC HMMMM AND BASICALLY DOES A MISS SAIGON RETELLING AS WELL #THE BELIEF THAT TODAYS SK HAS NO HISTORY OR CULTURE W/O THAT AMERICAN INTERVENTION AND OTHER COUNTRIES ARE ALLOWED TO MODERNIZE AND REMAIN #LIKE IT'S NOT CUTE?? ITS NOT ADORABLE OR FLUFFY THAT IS LITERALLY PRO-AMERICAN IMPERIALIST PROPGANDA #also nk being a shitty mom who's paranoid of sk replacing her is 1) the demonization of asian moms as irrational and inhumane and in need #of white intervention and 2) justification of the usa's shitty alienation of nk as a pariah state #he's a different oriental but edward said is rolling in his grave rn

opening the hws japan tag is like playing russian roulette because the most interesting, historically-based headcanon is immediately followed by Hatsune Kiku in cat ears going uwu

#i need like a mandatory world history crash course for all people making hetalia content #and one of those DEI workshops #because someeee of yall really cant stop infantilizing asian men #hetalia #hws japan

[tianshiisdead]

Japan shaves just about everything. He doesn't think more hair=more manly. He infact has a whole different idea of what is manly compared to western countries or most countries in general. He also likes flowers and floral patterns.

everything?!

#ask #anon #hetalia #hws japan #sorry anon! live your truth but i can’t see it 😅 i know you probably meant like… his face/body but #like i agree he wouldn’t think more hair = more manly but… honestly #I don’t really see him deviating much from japanese masculinity. personally #east asian men don’t really shave their whole bod tbh (thats MENA men - wrong orient) #like i think foreigners get the wrong impression because we’re kind of less hair-ful in general than a lot of ppl. particularily white ppl #but its not really done… if anything japan is the most likely to leave facial hair haha considering how its more acceptable in japan #than in china or korea #of course #my view of japan is biased as a fellow easian #I was a little wary to depict the full extent of your ask (sorry anon) and thats bc #of how easian masculinity in general is problematized and fetishized in the west? #like the idea of ~smooth japan kind of speaks to the whole wawah hairless babyface femme easians~~ trope that is so common #and it brings me pause when it comes to japan because tbh japan is probably the east asian country with masculinity that is #historically speaking #the most ‘coherant’ to the west #<- again Im speaking as another easian so i recognize my bias but #anyways sorry about that! ik this likely isnt what u were expecting 🙇‍♂️

China: I feel like I have died and gone to Heaven.

Hong Kong: I have that dream too, but you go in the other direction.

Hello Tumblr

I wanted to tell you that while my boyfriend was over we decided that Vietnam Hetalia had T-Girl swag and is basically like China's sister right and that China respects her pronouns and identity as a woman but thinks she was better off as a man and goes now you so ugly, your hands are like oars, you such an ugly woman. He thinks nobody will want to marry her but Vietnam doesn't care about marriage she's too busy being the most stressed out woman in the world and being married to her job. And China is super super rich but acts like he is so poor and has to save money to afford enough grains of rice to feed his kids. Most of his "kids" are actually his younger cousins that he adopted as his own kids, except for Hong Kong, who is his biological son and the one he ironically hates the most. He sold him to England for opium. China also refuses to get rid of shit even when its old and broken. Hes been using the same bong since the BC era and its 86% duct tape now. He likes Kiku because Kiku got that smart kid ultra-organized autism. But Hong Kong got that anti-social gay ass autism(my kind). He thinks hanging out with Iceland was what gave his son autism. But like if one of his kids or family members tries to come out to him as gay or trans or whatever he just waves his hand and says I dont care, as long as you marry rich I dont care. He also loves Family Guy and watches it on full volume in the living room and it annoys everyone but he doesn't care. He says Lois is the ideal wife. Based half this shit off of my boyfriend's IRL parents lets give it up for asian swag!!!

Happy Lunar New Year 2024!

新年快乐 2024！

Hi, dudes! It's me again.

While I was drawing this, my felt to got ideas block and exhausted very much to I will paint it with watercolor. Thus, I painted it with ink pens instead.

For Tibet fan art, I got reference from my oracle card in Tibetan culture theme as this:

And I will tell fun fact a few things about beliefs in Lunar New Year.

Don't cleaning in house, apartment, or accomodations in evening until to night on normal days or during celebration in new year and any festival that is not only belief in China, Japan, Vietnam, Korea. Thailand and India are believing this too. Because in the past, it was not existed to use electric in night. It makes you throw something is value this such as jewelry, gold or silver accessories, or coins. And also, many ppl always clean their house or accomodations in festival eve day or after festival day. Because nobody else do it while you are enjoying to celebrating in during day, right? They are feeling that too. LOL.

For Japanese Lunar New Year (Japanese is called "Shougatsu" 「正月: しょうがつ。: Shōgatsu」) , in the past. They were celebrating in lunar calendar in every year, but the after in 1873 AC. They are celebrating on 1st January in every year. Thus, Celebrating Japanese lunar new year in Japan which is celebrating new year of many countries too.

For Thai ppl who are not Thai-Chinese or Chinese in Thailand, they are can enjoy with this festival too. Because some Thai culture and Chinese culture are seeming similar such as praying for ancestors, respectful with family or someone who are seniors, and beliefs about position their house or accommodation. And also, Thai ppl are always be enjoy with festival which popular from other countries such as Christmas, Halloween, Lunar new year, Celebrating moon cake, or Navratri. Unless, some festival which restricted for Islamic, Christian, or some ppl who are minority in Thailand that mainly ppl or normal ppl cannot to be enjoying for celebrating with their festival too.

And I don't have any ideas unless I will say to you word that is I am always heard many ppl who are Thai-Chinese and Chinese in Thailand are said that

“新正如意，新年发財！” ❤️

if i understand right, fandom's preferred name for indonesia is dirga/dirgantara no? 🤔 or are there any others people have preferred?

#hetalia #hws indonesia #i am basing this off what ive heard so far generally #i think 'sky' is a pretty poetic meaning and from what i understand it's javanese with a link to sanskrit which is cool #re: reflecting ancient asian cross-cultural relations #tbh fandom-wide agreed names do make certain things easier lol #sometimes i wish himaruya gave certain characters human names too but at the same time some don't fit very well (like egypt's...) #so sometimes Naming By Democratic Mandate is the cool part of fandom
