#commonwealth era

I'm so excited about how well they're going to execute it. Waaahhh.

Just got back from watching Quezon’s Game, a biopic telling the little-known story of how Manuel L. Quezon, second president of the Philippines, and his allies worked toward sheltering more than a thousand German and Austrian Jewish refugees in the Philippines. This film is the latest in a line of spectacularly well-produced period dramas released in the 2010s and is a must-watch.

No problem! 

I’m not the best person to ask about this because I don’t actually remember if Poland and Ukraine ever interacted in the anime (or the webcomic) - anyone else wanna help?

But since you did ask me, my headcanon is that they’re… almost-friends nowadays. Well, friends depending on the situation. Mostly friends! (And of course old issues might still be mentioned, like with all Hetalia - or anything country-related for that matter :’D)

So that’s modern day. In the past though, I imagine it was more like

poland: oh shit time to make ukraine’s life horrible

ukraine: fuck you

poland: there she go

aka they were enemies more-or-less-sometimes-it’s-complicated and Feliks was like “my vassal and/or enemy who’s hella cool but must be Defeated” and Ukraine was like “another day, another chance to do something about my long-standing resentment/hatred of Poland & his bullshit”

and later things got more complex - I think it’s absolutely fantastic to headcanon/write a romance between them, but for various reasons (mostly my lietpol obsession) I don’t usually do that myself!

sooo things are a little complicated but the end result is that I think they do definitely like each other (AT LEAST in the modern day) despite maybe occasionally denying that when asked! Also they - and they’d both definitely deny the hell out of this - have experienced a lot of… well, character development, over the years not necessarily for the better, just… change, and this probably… it’s not so easy for either of them to just unthinkingly “label”/”categorize” the other as it was in the past, what with all this constant change in the dynamic of the relationship/interaction?? and…. yeah the past few centuries have been quite a trip

Oh, nice!! I’ll have to check them out :D

this song is excellent, thank you so much!!!
