1:What got you into Hetalia? I was actually in this Warrior Cats RP website. A friend of mine on there mentioned it and said something about 'USUK'. Being half English and from America, that caught my attention. I made the mistake of watching the sub and lost interest in it quick. Then I suddenly remembered it one day when somewhere anime was mentioned and listened to the dub that time around. I never turned back.
2:What month and year did you first start watching it?
Oi, it was in 6th/5th grade so 2009?
3:Who is your favourite character currently? I fluctuate, but I always come back to Prussia. The side-hoe favorites right now are Estonia and Hungary.
4:If you could have one ship become canon, what pairing would it be?
If PruHun or USUK were to become canon, I would be such a happy camper. Those are my two OTPs and just ugh. Their such cute little assholes together.
5:Do you like Hetalia yaoi? I'm going to say no to save face, but ya'll know what the real answer is if you look back far enough in some of my favorites folders.
6:How has Hetalia affected history for you?
It got me interested in countries I'd never heard before and made me want to look more into stuff I already knew about! As previously mentioned, being English, I'd known of Joan of Arc for quite some time. But seeing France personified made something click and I began doing research like crazy!! I also had never heard of Prussia before - I actually thought the voice actors made a mistake of saying a p in front of Russia - and did hella research on that. I'm now so passionate on the country and it's history, which is where most of my love for Gilbert Beilschmidt comes from as well tbh.
7:What do you prefer and why: Axis or Allies?
Allies both historically and character-wise. Germany's growing on me, but I'm not much of a fan of Veneziano or Japan.
8:Hetalia OTP?
USUK, PruHun, and Franada. The first two are the ones I'm more adamant about though.
9:Do any of your friends like Hetalia?
I'm getting one of my "nerd" friends into it. Or at least trying to. Otherwise, no. It's my own secret thing.
10:Are you caught up with all of the episodes?
I'm not because I wait for the dub to come out. I know what some of the episodes for World Twinkle are about though. Like we have the Davie comic and one where it's all about Canada. There's also a lot of Nordics for some reason..?
11:Which Hetalia-related merchandise (official and unofficial) do you own?
I've got season 1-4 on DVD of the dub Season 5 of the dub is on my Amazon Prime America, Russia, and England plushies Flying mint bunny necklace A couple of banadanas And an England passbook/wallet thingy. Not too much, but I would like at least a Prussia and Hungary plush.
12:Do you read any fanfics and if so, what's your favourite one?
A lot of fanfictions and a few fan vids. Because I love shameless self promotion, Imma put my two best/most recent vids in here since all my fanfictions are posted here lol
14:What popular ship do you not like?
I hate Germancest, Itacest, AmeCan, and SwissLiech because of the whole canonical sibling vibe they got between each other. I also don't like PruCan because they just don't seem like they'd romantically mesh together nor do they have that many historical or canonical interactions. I'm also meh about anything past 1918 regarding AusHun. But that's just because PruHun is love, PruHun is life.
15:What unpopular ship do you like?
I don't really think I hate any of the unpopular ships to be honest. It's more the popular ones that I don't wait-I don't liked NedSpa. That's not popular.
16:Who was the first character you instantly fell in love with?
I fell in love with Al and Arthur practically right away.
17:What episode gave you the most feels?
The Joan of Arc episode, the one where we got France talking about mortality, and Buono San Valentino really hit me in bad and good ways.
18:What episode gave you the most laughs?
I think the one where we first meet Romano did or the one where Estonia thinks Russia hacked his blog/all Estonian websites and put his picture up all over.
19:What is your favourite episode in general?
I love, love, love the episode where Belgium's talking about the Netherlands because aye that's three of my main OCs' daddy and wowie! Underappreciated characters in the spotlight fuck yeah!
I also love the episode where Prussia's in the tank top working out during World Twinkle mainly for the fact that the new anime art doesn't make him look like a potato.
20:Do you have any crossover ships with any Hetalia characters?
Not seriously. Sometimes I'll think of something for the lulz and then forget it.
21:What is your favourite Hetaloid song?
The only Hetaloid I've listened to is England doing World Is Mine so I guess that one is.
22:Thoughts on HetaOni? Have you played it?
God, I wish it would end. I need closure! I watched it one weekend and that was so much pain. I tried playing it a few times, but I wasn't very good/I couldn't remember how it went.
23:Is Germany the Holy Roman Empire?
I think it could go either way to be honest. It makes enough historical sense for Hima to make it the case. And he has hinted to it in the Buono San Valentino strip along with saying that Germany was older upon birth because of already having a body. This is coupled with the fact that in images with Gil holding a young Ludwig, Luddy looks like how an slightly older HRE might be. But it also makes enough historical sense for them to be two separate entities and c'mon. Don't you think Prussia, Austria, Hungary, or fucking France would allude to it around Germany and/or Veneziano? So really, I'm on the fence.
24:Any character you don't like in particular?
I despise Sealand. He's a lil shit and gets on my nerves with every interaction he has. Why can't he be like...well Wy and be a chill micronation?
25:Do you roleplay any characters on Tumblr, Facebook, Twitter, Omegle, etc?
I roleplay as my OCs on Tumblr and Instagram. I used to rp as America on here. I also rp as Prussia on Omegle when I'm bored and on Instagram.
26:Who would be the one character you would love to meet?
Hungary. She's just so strong and empowering. Definitely got a lot of questions for her, historical and non-historical.
27:Do you recognize Sealand as a country?
I just want Sealand to become rusty and fall into the ocean.
28:If you could ask Himaruya one question only, what would it be? I'd want to ask him what he thinks of how the fans interpret his characters. Like to know how a creator feels about that
29:Do you cosplay any of the characters from Hetalia?
I want to so bad! Me and my friend are talking about going to a con at some point for a weekend. So if that ever happens, I'll probably try and cosplay Hungary or one of the nyos (I feel way to feminine to cosplay a dude).
30:If you had the ability to change your height, shape, voice, clothing, and even gender, who would be your dream Hetalia cosplay?
Belarus or Gilbert! That would be so cool! Oooh!! Or Julchen! Man, I'd be happy to even be Sealand!
31:Look at the country you are currently living in. If they are an official Hetalia character, how do you feel about that character, as well as the country itself?
I love Alfred! I love him more than my actual country. America's a mess, let's face it. We needa get our shit together someway somehow. But I'm gonna go into character here because I wanna keep this lighthearted. Alfred is the perfect American stereotype. We're food obsessed, love brightly colored things for some reason, and literally know no chill. Even his design is pretty spot on for the typical American. The clothes are rather bland that aren't his military uniform, but I get why it's gotta be like that. The only thing I would've included was maybe something with the mob, but that could be because I'm from the east coast which is where it truly affects.
32:What are some Hetalia OC's (Original Characters) you have made up?
I've got a New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Massachusetts. Those are the ones that're actually developed pretty well.
33:What are some of your biggest headcanons?
-America and Russia, in more recent times, had become frenemies but now it's slowly starting to tilt back into how it was during the Space Race/Cold War/etc -France and England get together once a week for breakfast or lunch to sit and complain about Europe, their bosses, the whole world, etc. before going back to complaining about each other -America, when he likes his boss, pouts and tries to make them stay even though they Constitutionally can't.
34:What is the one thing about the fandom that irks you the most?
When some fans make light of serious events. That's happened less than in the past, but whenever I see it I just want to kick a puppy.
35:Your favourite seiyuu/voice actor in the Sub or the Dub?
Seiyuu's: I love Prussia and Germany's seiyuu based solely off their character songs since I don't do subs. Their accents and emotions for the character just work perfectly. As for the dub, J. Michael Tatum (FRA), Eric Vale (USA), and Jonathan Brooks (Prussia) are my favs hands down. Oh crap! I forgot Patrick Seitz (GER), Chuck Huber (Austria), and Ian Sinclair (S.ITA)! Oi, they're all really good at their job.
36:Are you a HetaStuck? Thoughts on it?
I tried to along with trying to get into Homestuck itself, but neither worked out.
37:Is Hetalia the biggest fandom you are in? If not, what is?
It's just my drug
38:How much has Hetalia taken over your life?
I've always been very interested in history so that much hasn't changed. Though now I've looked into histories of countries I had no idea about and became like this nerd for Prussia (the real former-country) along with Joan of Arc and Bloody Mary. From writing fanfictions, my writing improved a lot especially if I think about where it would be if I hadn't used it as a tool
39:What is your favourite fan-made video or tribute you've ever seen?
- This CMV is everything to me especially because it has their relationship down to a T
- This gets me to cry every damn time I swear.
- If there's only one video left on the internet someday, I hope it's this.
- Have one of my favorite songs with one of my favorite ships
- And now here's another one of my favorite ships because I'm trash like that.
40:Do you think Prussia is awesome?
Dude. Prussia's the main reason I stayed in this fandom for so long. I don't want to keep sinning, but I do it for Gilbert Beilschmidt.
41:Personality-wise, which character are you like the most?
I think I act most like Hungary and England to be honest. Like both of them I'm headstrong and stubborn, very prideful. I've got the same sense of humor as England. I've got both of their tempers, but I'm nicer to the ones I like - like Hungary. I could go more into detail, but these kinda things always make me feel weird heh
42:How do you feel about the Nordics?
I like them all except for Iceland. I don't know why but Ice has always seemed kinda bland to me.
43:How do you feel about the "cult" around Germany?
When it first came out I definitely was part of the Doitsu cult. I stayed in (secretly) till John Oliver got me to become a member of Our Lady of Perpetual Exemption.
44:Any crack pairings?
Germany and Herr Schticky Freund
45:Will you ever leave the Hetalia fandom?
I'd like to say that someday I will mature and only hold nostalgia for this trash. But I'm forever gonna be the garbage queen so I'm probably never gonna leave. I'll be stuck loving Hetalia and Harry Potter till my grave.
46:Are you glad that you started watching Hetalia?
As much as I complain, I would never go back.
47:What did you do before starting to watch Hetalia?
I was a cutie who was hella into those Warriors books man. Warriors was life till they ruined Leafpool.
48:Have you read the Web Comic, watched the Anime, both, or neither?
I haven't read every panel of the manga, but for the sake of this question I'll say both.
49:What is the thing in general that you absolutely love about Hetalia?
I just love the beauty of it. The historical side of it, the bits that make you cry. It's such a wonderful thing and with a really great fandom. Everyone in it's grown up so much and the craps weeded itself. Everything about Hetalia is great and I wouldn't want to change a thing. ....Except maybe give Romano more time. Lovino needs love.
50:If you could have one wish granted that was Hetalia-related, what would it be? Man, this is hard. I'd actually really to just sit down and talk to Himaryu for an hour and talk about Hetalia. Pick his brain about that. That would be a dream come true.
