ahahahahaha, people actually appreciate Hetalia solely for its historical content? What?

[identity profile] eternaliyah.livejournal.com 2011-11-19 09:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Not Hetalia canon content itself, but the framework it offers to say/include/comment on actual historical things in fanon. There's a lot of hetalia fanworks that just use the names/faces/general personalities of derpy anime characters, and then fleshes them out with really good research.

yeah, they go "oh interesting idea!" and write fanfictions/make art/discuss it more historical-way than actual hetalia-verse way, like their characters aren't really that much like the ones from the comic or anime. They just use their names, some of the stuff from canon and the rest is their own interpretation of history and/or international relations

Yes

There was one especially infamous person of those types called ejsthespie

or: what happens when a 40 year old man tried to mingle with much younger women, while talking about how he despised every one of them for shipping m/m

juicy! I need to look that up!

For me, not the historical content itself as much as the idea of personified nations interacting: retelling history as a sort of biography of a single person, the fact of being able to write in basically any time period and about any historical event with the same characters, wondering about how a nation's perspective on certain things would be different from a human's... It was what first pulled me into the comic. It's still a fun idea to play around with, Himaruya's characterization of the nations and knowledge of history isn't as bad as some people would have you believe.

I used to believe this, then I read the comic myself and it turns out that yes, it's just as bad as I was led to believe. Worse, in fact.

so much for Hetalia fans waving their arms about going "OMG WE KNOW IT'S NOT ACTUAL HISTORY"...
