Aaahhhh Hungary looks so beautiful! ;o; Still hoping he'll do one for Estonia, as Latvia and Lithuania (and all the Nordics) got one too.

In the current official setting, who calls France, the world’s big brother, “big brother”, “brother” or “big bro” and actually means it?

Right now I think Monaco and Italy do, but there are probably others as well.

Hmm... I wonder who these characters are? Seychelles and Canada come to mind for me. The latter seems to be really common in fanworks so it'd be interesting if we got official confirmation on this. In the old Gakuen Hetalia games, France was said to have raised Seychelles so I wouldn't be surprised she did call him that as well.

Edit: I forgot to mention I passed the word through Tumblr via hetaliaarchives (both Andy (FH14/barjonabombers) and I run the blog) so hopefully we'll get some more activity going here. I also passed on the info regarding this entry as well so we can get some ideas flowing again. The old community has become very nostalgic recently on Tumblr but it will be interesting to see if actions follow words.

Russia in a cardigan is beaaaaauutttiiiiffffullll, as is Hungary in that little capelet coat.

Also I was wondering what was going on with the China/America strip. Glad to know America makes popcorn the fancy way. I have so many questions about that update - especially with why England was watching that film in the first place.

And I like how he acknowledged the whole confusion over Cleopatra's ancestry. This was 2000+ years ago so maybe we'll never know for sure. The amount of research he puts in to the littlest things really makes me happy!

Hungary, how can I be as pretty as you?

Also, big brother France + little sister Monaco really needs more love. I really like the idea of a charmer like France actually being an embarassing parent/brother/rival (in England's case)/what-have-you XD

lol I was thinking that too. Nice deltoids, Romano. I'm just like... is he judging Spain's height now? Poor thing. ;w;

They're working on the scanlation atm, so hopefully it'll be finished today. =w=

Some people were wondering what Romano was thinking. I think he's noticing the height differences between himself and Spain. He's still brooding about it. lol
I love how Spain just happily gazes at Romano with his ":D ?" face. Ah, my shippy feels.... So cute!

Hungary is so gorgeous~! She's always looks so sophisticated and beautiful, but it's funny when contrasted with fujoshi antics and how much she would battle as a kid.

Loving all the nations' winter outfits!

Portugal

[identity profile] zazial.livejournal.com 2014-12-07 03:53 pm (UTC)(link)
This is old news by now, but I'd like to add that I'm really happy to see Portugal join the official cast. I always felt that considering what Portugal had accomplished before Spain or England got around to it, that it was pretty surprising he wasn't around. Then again, I suppose there's an argument like that for every country. Either way, I'm happy to see him :D

I am a little disappointed that Portugal isn't the impressive looking woman with long hair (and the scar idea was cool too), but I suppose that can be the Nyo version.

What do you guys think is the relationship Hima-Papa's going to imply/write about between Portugal and Spain (and Romano's role in it since he's pretty inseparable by this point to Spain's character)? Or actually, what would you like to see?
-The annoying older brother with a collection of embarrassing stories about his once badass younger bro? Or maybe the embarassing story is related to Spain's feelings for Romano (okay, that is the fangirl in me talking), or the bullying sort of relationship that it's implied England has with his brothers?

I'd also love to see more Portugal and England strips, heck even stuff that could really tease us about Port/Eng or Eng/Port (because Hima never confirms relationships :P)

I'm lovin' the adventuring badass uniform too.

I don't recall him crying except once when Canada turned in into an a$$ for three hours. Is this England just being a jerk or am I missing something?

Romano and Spain :D I love how Spain is always so oblivious to things.

That scale though

Even though they are both very healthy and fit apparently America weighs Super Mega Jumbo and Germany weighs 800+ pounds! I think Alfred needs a new scale!

We who have survived through the comm's downfall are unfazed by heated discussions (i might even miss them wow) ow<

I have also come to the conclusion that America is both slightly chubby and strong.

England has appeared in World Stars Chapter 25!! http://hetascanlations.tumblr.com/post/105241590315/

Also there's this little blog update: http://hetascanlations.tumblr.com/post/105248363165/
Seems like Hima won't be doing a xmas event this month. But he might try to do something in January (after Comiket I'm assuming). I'm not holding my breath though lol

it's been a while... I even forgot my password and username.. Anyways new account formerly known as yukishiro or yukihiro + numbers..

The fandom has certainly mellowed down if comparing it 2 years ago...

Anyways

Now that Portugal and Lux had made an appearance... I will just wait for the nations he mentioned last 2 years to be introduced... I miss the craziness...

[personal profile] jammerlea 2014-12-18 07:06 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't think it's mellowed so much as most of the craziness moved to tumblr. Lol.

I'm pretty excited to have new characters! I hope we see more of them soon! Plus there's the promise of England's bros sometime in World Stars...

I dunno, Himaruya has contributed some Hetalia stuff to doujinshi before that was available for purchase (though that was years ago). It might be that he's just using it as an incentive to buy the game ahaha. It's a mystery I guess. XD

*edit* I'm almost hoping Himaruya makes a Magical Strike AU strip lol. He just keeps adding more to the idea.

Excuse me while I flail over this blog update with Denmark and Norway. (Tumblr version here)

I wish he said what time period it's supposed to be! Himaruya has such a loose/sometimes anachronistic approach to historical clothing that I can't really pin it down. Denmark's clothes look Napoleonic-era to me, but it's impossible to say for sure. ;3;

Did I just see Vatican on the most recent comics... and he's young??

[identity profile] chip-pouic.livejournal.com 2014-12-22 11:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Seems so...? A bit surprising! As for his looks...Well, most nations are pictured quite young even when they are thousands of years old (China) ... It doesn't seems to reflect the population too for that matter (Vatican) ... Was there any explanations on this subject before ?

So many new nations appearing recently and so little explanations so far! I can't wait for their character to be fleshed out!
