20 Years of Hetalia

SIGNAL BOOST APPRECIATED!!

Hetalia will be turning 20 on the 6th of July 2026!! The bidecennial anniversary of our beloved series is fast approaching, and, similar to the decennial anniversary event we held in the past, we at Hetascanlations would like to organize another unofficial hashtag event to celebrate! 

EVENT DETAILS

Event Period :: 1st July ~ 31st July 2026

Event platform :: TUMBLR

How to Enter :: Tag your post with #20YearsOfHetalia or #20YrsOfHetalia and you’re in!

All tumblr posts with the hashtag #20YrsOfHetalia or #20YearsOfHetalia will be reblogged to @20yrsofhetalia. Other social media platforms are welcomed to use the hashtag as well.

WHAT TO POST

Please treat your content like it’s a message to Hetalia/Himaruya. While Himaruya doesn’t have an official tumblr account, he does have a twitter account, and if the hashtag picks up in popularity, there's always a chance Himaruya might see your message! Let’s all send him some nice blessings! :)

Fanart - Create a new art especially for the event, or something you did in the past that you’re proud of (and maybe tell us a little about your art? Fans who are no longer in the fandom are absolutely welcomed to join in too!!) Please only post fanart that you have drawn yourself.

Edits - Make edits, videos or stills, of your beloved characters! Please note that only images from Himaruya’s personal website, blog, and twitter, Kitayume, Bamboo Thicket, and @hima_kaz are free for personal usage and redistribution.

Cosplay - Post an picture or video of you dressing up as your favorite character or as your own country!

WHAT NOT TO POST

Ships, OC, NSFW content, hateful messages, spam, content unrelated to Hetalia, copyrighted content not free for redistribution, content that will require a content warning.

While we can’t control what people post with the hashtag, anything that is inappropriate will not be reblogged to the event account.

If I didn’t reblog your post and you believe your content is relevant, please give it a few days, then drop me a note, either to this account or to @eosonera! I might've been too busy to archive it right away, or I might've accidentally missed it.

There is no limit to how many posts you can make, but please don’t spam the hashtag, thank you!!

happy 20th anniversary to hetalia!

despite it being a mostly-silly series, hetalia and its fandom have gotten me through some really rough times mentally. as an anniversary tribute, here are some of my figure photos from the past few years ~

(Original game release here)

A game where the Hetalia crew tells stories that seem scary but aren't really.

For the 20th anniversary of Hetalia, here is the release of our remake and translation of the Hetalian Horror Show! It is currently available for Windows, Mac, Linux, and Android.

The game itself can be read in less than 2 hours and is very linear, with only once choice leading to either a 'good' or 'bad' end.

Please do not repost the game without permission.

I have been here in the fandom for so long and I'm grateful for the friends I made and the enjoyment and entertainment this series (and the fanmade works) gave to me along the years.

20 years? Wow. I wasn't here from the start, it's interesting to think how long Hetalia has been going.

It's so exciting experiencing this, and I hope to all of my fellow Hetalians that your years are going well! Hetalia got me interested in history past US history, and it is what motivated me to get a 100s in all of my history classes and a 5 on the APUSH exam. Being in the fandom and having so many friends within it is just so fun! Without any further ado, here's a shitpost I made as a celebration :P

Once again drawing my favourite Italian

Hmmm, this sounds familiar (sound ON).

If the authors of the models and the motion data are okay with other people using their models and motion to make videos, I think it should be fine!

I can’t remember what my first Hetalia fanart was (I’m pretty sure it was just a scribble in one of my school notebooks), but this one was always iconic for me. I used to use this as my dp on the Hetalia LJ community all the time. I procrastinated in good ol’ fashion and I couldn’t post this before I left for my Poland trip, so now I’m late for the event.

Nevertheless, I quickly remade this fanart to show I did kinda improve uhhh. Not the best example xD (dat panda) I wasn’t planning on a TLDR post BUT WHY NOT.
