Notes:

Sorry, early today!

Also: I'm not going to officially warn for tongue-in-cheek "triggers" just to provide anyone with a fandom-specific in-joke when there are none in the secret.

While I agree that more IC historical fic would be nice, I don't get the condescension for those who just like to play with the characters. Hetalia isn't a history book (or even historically accurate), and nation-tans are characters just like any others.

I admit people tittering about America's muscles make me want to rub their noses in canon. We've seen him shirtless, WHAT MUSCLES??

So I'm a little bit of a fandom elitist? ;)

But really, if one were to describe Hetalia to someone who was unfamiliar with it, you could start with, "there are all these cute little characters, and a lot of them are boyz." Well, that could describe just about anything. But then you'd say, "and they're nations." Ah, and that is the thing that sets them apart from everything else.

So basically, I was agreeing with the anon I replied to that taking the nation part away from the characters makes them essentially have nothing to do with Hetalia. And thus, for me personally, that makes them uninteresting and pretty much pointless.

But like I said, to each their own, and people will enjoy their emo boyfrenz without my approval, and they are doing it right now and probably posting "I Regret Nothing" chickens all the livelong day.

I can kinda get where you're coming from. What caught my interest was also, "There are all these kooky characters and-- no, wait, there's more-- they're PERSONIFIED NATIONS!"

Once I was actually into the series, though, I admit that I ended as much attached to the characters as to the concept, so I'm in fandom as much for character interactions as I am for historical/cultural trivia. So, Idk, saying that AUs or whatever have nothing to do with Hetalia just throws me off because they're still about those characters and their interactions (well, ostensibly) and it gets annoying to be told I'm not a real fan because I enjoy them (not to say that's what you're saying).

But, ffs, what I wouldn't give for a "Gakuen AU" to actually turn out to be about the Gakuen Hetalia verse, not just a generic high school/boarding school fic.
