[Blog Update]

Blog Title: The Tokyo Olympics caaaaame!



It's a bit late to say this but I'm really looking forward to Tokyo Olympics! Spain's strangely alluring speech with "I have to do olympics, otherwise it's economically over with me in Europe!" was so cute. Just what I'd expect from Spain.

And the picture is Norway.

It's just text this time, I'm really sorry.


> I'd really like to see a character speaking in Tosa dialect (Kōchi Prefecture in Shikoku)!
I'm from Kōchi myself and
I always thought it would be lovely if somebody in Hetalia would speak with that accent.


To be honest, I'm currently pondering whether to make
Australia and New Zealand speak with a Shikoku dialect!
It looks like it could perfectly convey Australia's mysterious English.


>Do Hanatamago and Pochi
live as long as the countries?
Or do they have usual lifespans?


Hanatamago and Pochi are both normal dogs, but
their lifespans get longer because of the strange timeline of their owners.
If they get separated, their lives continue as they would with a regular dog.
Kumajiro too is supposed to grow into a huge and impressive polar bear.

If a normal person would be close to the nations like Pochi for a longer time,
their perception of time would get so warped that they could eventually lose their mind.

By the way, I couldn't decide whether to make Kumajiro a speaking stuffed toy or
a real polar bear, and then I saw a picture of a polar bear
happily frolicking through a private house in Canada! A real polar bear it is, then!

If I may offer my own opinion, I don't think Himaruya means rulers and/or partners of the nations - more people like personal maids and servants who would live with them in the same house for decades (like the pets mentioned). I imagine there would be a lot of kings and queens close to their nations and it wouldn't make sense if they all just went mad because of that.

That's certainly the perspective I'm going to go with, though considering how many rulers at least in Europe have been more or less cuckoo, this could explain why that is. :P

First, thank you so much for the translations!!!

I LOVED the part about the pets! I think this end all the sad headcanons since they can accompany their owners for a long period of time instead of living like "normal" animals <3!

Oh, and do you think this can somehow explain why Prussia is still alive and don't age? Since he lives with Germany and hang out with other nations all the time? Also, since he's not human, this don't afect him like it would with normal humans?

maybe that's why the US imposed a limit of two 4-year terms for their presidents... being around America for longer than that would drive them nuts! XD

Haha that would explain the craziness of Europe and our hereditary monarchies.
