Talk thread: is your country missing a nation-tan?

[mumumugen.livejournal.com]

Okay, first of all, a Fandom Secret brought up something I've been meaning to talk with the other Hetalia fans at some point, and right now, as I'm about to go to sleep, I feel I might as well open this can of worms:

Is your country sorely missing a Hetalia representation?
Do you have an idea of how your country would act or look like, if it were a nation-tan?

I'm Venezuelan and, as I've mentioned to some people in private conversations, sometimes I find myself lamenting that we're very likely not going to get an official Hetalian character, what with having no direct WWII involvement. A lot of South American countries are the same.

SO...
Shall we talk about our countries, what their nation-tans would be like, and maybe draw them? Just a suggestion...! I'm going to bed now, but I'll be here to discuss tomorrow.

P.S: Any Latin American Hetalia fans out there?

Apologies because I don't know how to label/tag this, really. T_T

I wish I had read this post before I made mine! XD Well, I'm from Brazil and I feel the same! I wish our nations could appear in Hetalian!

By the way, if anyone is interested, I could help with the drawings (although I'm not very good).

Armenia. :C I'm not from there, buy my direct maternal line is, and the lack of an Armenia is ruining my plans to draw a pie-chart of my heritage in Hetalia format.

[bolshevists.livejournal.com]

LOL I LOVE HOW WE WERE JUST TALKING ABOUT THIS.

Mexico. Mexico is needed for sure. And I think an India would be kinda cool.

[toastycola.livejournal.com]

I'm in need of an India. Not my country, but I'd just like to see an India. I think I may draw him/her in my next picspam.

I second Mexico, too.

AUSTRALIA D: We have no Hetalia personification ;-;
I'm actually English, but I moved to Australia a year ago, and think of both as my home! So just UK is not enough xDD

I did draw what I think Australia-tan would look like though :] He wears an ANZAC lighthorseman uniform [I think @.@]

Your Oosutoraria-tan made me smile... we need one... TAT because ANZACS rule like that.

[tsuchinoko.livejournal.com]

:'D Yes. I has a drawn my own country. *blush blush* Still. Too shy to show it cause I don't want to look like I'm obsessed (even if I am).

I want to see other people's nationz. \o/

[comrade-roz.livejournal.com]

Even though it's part of Japan, I'd like to see an Okinawa.

[legit.livejournal.com]

Philippines, for srs.

Where art thou?

[paperonigiri.livejournal.com]

YEAHHHHH Oh my god D:!!
After all the abuse we've been through XD!?!
333 year rule of the Spaniards then the Japanese occupation during WWII and then the American occupation soon after :E! Not to mention the huge number of Chinese/Chinoy people that rule the businesses here and the gradual invasion of the Koreans (I hope I don't offend anybody XD)

We're pretty historical ;__;!

[bubbole.livejournal.com]

Ahaha I'm thinking about an other of Rome's lovers, San Marino LOL :'D

[jounetsu-ryu.livejournal.com]

This is a great topic! XD Hetalia's been my sort-of introduction to the world and it's interesting to find out about other countries and their people.

Haha, I'm greedy and would like to see Singapore, Malaysia, Philippines and Thailand. Just more Asian countries in general. (Which means India-tan would be awesome too.) Right now, Thailand's canon-ness is currently just one little sketch as far as I know.

Avoiding work is like my hobby or something, so I actually though up Singapore's possible character, relationships (http://jounetsu-ryu.livejournal.com/554374.html) and look (http://rimikkusu.deviantart.com/art/SG-tan-97048827). I don't know if this is patriotic or just vain, haha~

[bathosroyale.livejournal.com]

Ooooh! I would love to see more Asian countries hetalia-zed too!

Also, I stalked your lj and fellow Singaporean, yay? 8D Although I'm really Malaysian shhh I like how you characterized Singapore! Much better than I did anyway. <3

I also loved the look of SG-tan with the lion(although I kinda imagined him with a Merlion instead that no one else can see \8D/) I drew a picture of Singapore (http://bathosroyale.livejournal.com/7716.html#cutid1)
too but he's much too cheery here. ;;

I've spent waaaay too much time on this, even making a small comic about the Japanese invasion of Singapore via bicycles. x____x;;

[raineyz.livejournal.com]

Like the above commenter, I kinda wish there was a Singapore-tan...Considering the Japanese seem pretty taken with Singapore as a tourist destination/place to work in. I wonder if Singapore is as easily forgotten as Canada.

[marineneko.livejournal.com]

I'm another Mexico-tan supporter, since it's my home country. I'm pretty sure that Mexico'd be tsundere 8D

[thediorama.livejournal.com]

I would love to see a Mexico-tan! I remember seeing a fan-made Mexico sometime ago, really cute. Stories about him and USA would be awesome.
There would also need to be an Aztec Empire-tan. He(or she...?) and Spain would be Mexico's "parents".

[youkofujima.livejournal.com]

Well, as a mod, originally I had asked someone to post it to nationslash instead of hetalia because technically the character is not part of Hetalia, but an OC Nation-tan. Part of it was because of the fear of maybe opening up the gate for mary sues original characters who are not nations (as someone has told me a friend has already done).

But I guess since someone already posted something about it...

[mumumugen.livejournal.com]

orrrz. T_T I had no idea this would be a problem. Though if you want, you can make a mod post directing people to take this to Nationslash? I could make a sticky post there so all comments on original nations fall under one thread, if you want?

*bricked*

[herbalriver.livejournal.com]

I have my own conspiracies 8D

My nation Indonesia is a slacktard who likes to take it waaayyy too easy and is kinda indesicive. He's a big brother of Malaysia who lives next to him yet she still likes to sexually harass Indonesia (read: invasion of private territories). His foods are really bizarre to the point that he drinks cofee made from the cofee beans excreted from a luak. He's a kind of collector who doesn't care about his stuff until someone violates it.

In despair, Japan came to Indonesia with hope that we will support him in the second half of WW2, but we realized pretty soon that he was using us. :| (Japan DID kick Holland's ass out but still...). From 350 years of Holland colonialism, I'd have to say that Indonesia's a maso. D|;;; *bricked*

Malaysia is Indonesia's sister who's clingy to England (no wonder she's the third horniest country in the world) and has a crush on him. Instantly becomes Singapore's rival. Despite an Islamic country, she gains extra fund from gambling that's supposed to be forbidden. (That's why I don't think she'll be portrayed wearing a veil)

She likes to steal his brother's stuff because he doesn't care anyway. But if she does, he'll RRAAAAAAGEEEEEEEEEEEEE... Which makes their relationship a bit of love-hate. But actually Indonesia loves Malaysia as a sister, he once tried to prevent Malaysia from forming a nation of her own and moving houses ;___;

I wanted to add about Singapore and Timor Leste but I dunno where to start, LOL .

Re: *bricked*

[piratelicker.livejournal.com]

she still likes to sexually harass Indonesia

That's because everyone likes to rape us i.e. England, Dutch, Bugis, Portugese, Thailand, Japanese, Phillipines

S'pore is our twin who is better, analperfect and more popular than us.

Despite an Islamic country, she gains extra fund from gambling that's supposed to be forbidden. (That's why I don't think she'll be portrayed wearing a veil)

LOW BLOW, MAN. LOW BLOW.

I adore UK, but I'd kind of like to see a Scotland, Ireland and Wales. But then I worry that three extra characters would divert attention away from UK and I wouldn't like that at all.

[ferus-preliator.livejournal.com]

The one thing about having a Northern Ireland, Wales or Scotland (and this was pointed out to me by someone else) is that right now UK is well, UK which is the United Kingdom, which includes England, Northern Ireland, Wales and Scotland. He might be more English than anything but so long as the character is called UK I don't know if we're going to see N. Ireland, Scotland or Wales. As much as I would love to have them (and I'm certainly not going to stop someone from drawing them.) Now Ireland is another matter, Ireland has been it's own nation since 1922, though I could definitely see him/her looking older.

[atlikarinca.livejournal.com]

Australian, here 8| I'm part American (and slightly UK) though, so I get some form of nationality in Hetalia, but Australia needs a character badly. We did plenty of stuff in WWII! I even have plotted out a bit of his interactions with other countries /nerd (NZ is his close friend and brother, and shares a bit of a friendly rivalry with him. With UK it's very much a love-hate thing, but Australia used to be devoted and in love with UK. After WWII he was especially tense with Arthur, and decided to suck up to become omgbestfreeends with Alfred after he helped Australia out with the war. But Australia also is v/ v/ jealous of all the attention US gets too, but they're still friends with all of their similarities. Oh, and all of the other Oceanic/poorer Asian countries have love/hate relations with him. Canada and Australia are also friends (idk about Australians and Canadians. Every Canadian I've met has been a jerk :C). There's also alot of racist tendencies towards Asian countries too (White Australian Policy, lol), but he's been friends with Japan for pretty much ever except for WWII, where there was plenty of haet now Australia just wants Japan to gtfo out of his whales. He has some kind of thing against Turkey after Gallipoli too (which Turkey doesn't even remember, rofl). Pfff, this is probably all wildly incorrect, but whatever xD Oh, and NZ and Canada would have the cutest friendship ever)

Also I'd love to see a New Zealand, Mexico, India, Phillipines and Morocco.

[liralicia.livejournal.com]

I'm chilean, so... there you go, another southamerican ;D

[undertheice.livejournal.com]

Hello there, fellow chilean! Since we're on the topic, have you given any thought on how Chile would be? I'm afraid he'd be a bit of a tsundere Argentina, heh.

[maryohki.livejournal.com]

I've got Alfred representing me, but I am saddened by the lack of a Portugal...mainly because of my D. Grayman fandom and love for Tyki Mikk...

[kazahayakudou.livejournal.com]

I agree! And wouldn't it be awesome Portugal-tan Tyki like?

[steampuppet.livejournal.com]

Interesting topic :D
I always thought there should be more Slav-tans (so far there's only Russsia,Poland,Ukraine and Belarus) and there are sadly no south-Slav characters...(I'm part Czech/Hungarian, so...)

[nanahashi.livejournal.com]

I found this chibi pic for Slav-tan in Himaruya-blog. But he just said "Chibi slav", so I'm not sure about what country they are represent...

And there's a sketch of Czechoslovakia :3

[nanahashi.livejournal.com]

Me too.^^

My nation is Thailand. Even my country already appeared once in original draft, but nothing about description about his personality. I quite sure that his personality would not be so adorable. Even I am Thai, I stills have some negative feeling for my people and my country. ^^;

[equivalent-t.livejournal.com]

Pfft, all Thais have negative feelings for the country, don't you know? We can definitely do with more patriotism. Like what the Americans have. It's seriously good.

Thailand looked nice enough in the blog, and I think Hidekaz mentioned something about drug addiction (LOL SO ACCURATE), but Hetalia depends on stereotypes foreigners see more than each place's own perception of itself, so I think we'll end up being a hetare laughalot. XD;

[gileonnen.livejournal.com]

I definitely want an Australia and an India (they could dress him in the uniform of the Sikh Regiment (http://www.unitedsikhs.org/rtt/TwoWorldWarsandtheSikhs.php)!). And a New Zealand would be cool, too.

... my love of the colonies is showing. Er. A Netherlands would be good, too!

[kazahayakudou.livejournal.com]

Stooooop it! You're making me want to draw India-tan like whoah! I'm a sucker for military uniforms!

[dragon-viet.livejournal.com]

India --> Raaj Shrivastava ---> sultan with a Turban, Elephants and drinks tea like the UK. Hangs out with lovely belly dancers and gets along well with Tibet.

... I could go on but damn, I'd like me some India.

Also wish there was like an African continent... it's just so under represented.

[world-supremacy.livejournal.com]

AGREED.

Ohh, I'd love to see India. And I love your portrayal of him. His elephant an equivalent to China's panda? Priceless.

Though his history would be similar to Russia --> Liet, right? 'Cept with UK filling in the Russia slot; I can only see their relationship as UK being abusive (could be portrayed as some serious shit), while India (the peace-loving, easy-going guy he is) eventually fights back without violence (a la Gandhi).

[frappetique.livejournal.com]

Ahuhuhurhr, Indonesia.. I actually made his profile... (http://frappetique.livejournal.com/105858.html). OTL

[jali-jali.livejournal.com]

I do want to see Holland too XD

Ehh... but reading from histories we could add in him as a real stubborn one XD and kinda cheap-ass
and yess, middle-east @_@ I'd love to see them too.

[xxrosenredxx.livejournal.com]

I drew a Scotland! Because kilts were needed.

[claudaine.livejournal.com]

ILU SRS!!

I love England/UK and all that but I feel like there should be a scotland >:

Even a small guest appearance/strip would be nice.

I mean England, Scotland have one complicated relationship in history that could provide so many jokes D:

Anyway I would love to see your Scotland :P Please :)
