Hetalia Fandom Outside of LJ

[barrelsncrates.livejournal.com]

Hey guys, I have a question I want to ask. I've been hearing that the fandom is still active outside of LJ in places such as tumblr. But I haven't been that active online and I don't know where exactly these "hot spots" are. Can anybody help me and direct me to these places?

Well, if you search APH: [insert any country here] on tumblr tags, you can find stuff involving the characters. On tumblr, it's all about who you follow. I follow a large number of hetalia tumblr blogs, I can name some if you want. Pixiv is still very active, and I have multiple hetalia pixiv tags if you want them.

List away! :-)

Mariabloodwell.tumblr.com is a huge Prussia fan, very polite and fun~ Romanorgasm.tumblr.com posts a lot of Spamano and HKIce and hetalia in general. Seborgasm.tumblr.com posts mainly Liechtenstein. Segastarlit.tumblr.com is a nice hetalia blog. Sassygayromania.tumblr.com is a friend of mine, she posts a lot of hetalia as well. Sassygaysweden.tumblr.com, lovinare.tumblr.com, beekwhy.tumblr.com is famous for her 2P!England, but she does post a lot of hetalia and she's pretty cool. Miaman.tumblr.com is famous for 2P!Prussia, but also draws a lot of cute hetalia fanart and reblogs really col stuff...
I listed a lot of blogs there, now for pixiv tags~ just c/p them into the search bar on pixiv
Hetalia : ヘタリア
Italy : フェリシアーノ・ヴァルガス
Nyotalia : にょたりあ
Nekotalia : ねこたりあ
2P : ヘタリア2Pカラー
I can provide any other character tags if you want, such as Monaco, Liechtenstein, Vietnam, etc.

Do you have the one for Liechtenstein? :D

I'm gonna sound like an idiot for asking this but what does 2p stand for? I've seen it mentioned a few times in the kink meme.

Thanks for listing them all!

Of course I have Liech's~ リヒテン
2P are some designs Hima did for the Axis and Nyotalias with a darker colour. Some people treat them like alternate personalities, alternate designs, or separate characters all together.
http://www.geocities.jp/himaruya/4ka.html on this page, click おや、これは・・・ for the Nyotalias and their 2Ps and ０、枢軸壁紙 for the Axis 2Ps. Some fans did designs for characters without official 2P designs. You don't sound like an idiot, a lot of people in the fandom don't really know what 2P is, either.

[barrelsncrates.livejournal.com]

Thanks!~ xDD

Oh, I recognize some of these! I never knew that there was a name for them! Nyotalia!Canada is so cute. I've never seen her design before. 2p! Italy looks like a badass. I would consider him to be a different character myself. I always thought that there might be a chance of seeing them in the Piccolo art book but I guess not.

[espadaknight4.livejournal.com]

Piccolo was only a smaller version of Arte Stella, so unfortunately there was no 2P ;w;
But yes, 2P!Italy is definitely a badass <3 I consider the 2Ps as separate characters altogether XD /makes them co-exist with the 1Ps though~

I usually interact with the fandom here at times, Tumblr, and sometimes Facebook, but I probably use Tumblr more often than anything. You can always just search "Hetalia" in the tags or "aph ___" or a pairing name to find fanwork and such as that, but as espadaknight4 has said it really depends on who you follow. There are many Hetalia blogs on Tumblr that usually specialize in something, such as couples, specific characters, nyotalia, nekotalia, or just everything in general! There are only a few blogs I know that upload official information, but most of the time it is news you find in LiveJournal. Facebook wise it's certain groups, again you could probably search Hetalia and take a look around yourself :)

I must not been looking at the right ones then since the few that i've seen haven't been updated in a month. UghI I can't wait until the next volume is released.

You can also join either CAPTALIA or hetaliafandomly here on livejournal. Although for the latter I must say that these days there's a lot of Homestuck talk and less about Hetalia. We do get back to it every once in a while, though. And disneyotaku, why are you not with us, it's been so long! ;A;

[barrelsncrates.livejournal.com]

I've visited them before. I've seen Homestruck mentioned so many times enforce but I don't know why (although I should stop being lazy and look it up). Is it another show with a similar premise?

Disneyotaku! <3

[pink-cass.livejournal.com]

I'm not a fan and skipped large parts of the (long, long, loooooooong) story, so I suggest you look it up on Wikipedia or maybe ask the Homestuck fans. :)
You shouldn't have any problems finding them. ;)

Are there any Germancest tumblr groups? I wondered why LJ had suddenly gone dead. I thought everyone had left the fandom.

[mame-meme.livejournal.com]

if you look/search tumblr, you'll see why everyone left LJ
tumblr is sooo much easier and more interactive and fun and whatnot XD

[julesie-g.livejournal.com]

I recently made a tumblr but I have no idea how to use it.

So... why did they leave? XD

[littlebitofliz.livejournal.com]

The fandom is very active in places like DeviantART. Tons of groups have been made devoted to certain pairings or characters. But of course, you'll have to become a member of DA to get to them and interact. :)

I used to follow a Netherlands tumblr, but sadly I don't remember the name anymore. :(
