Some of you might have seen the post of me remaking my blog and it has been a while since I started remaking but I got lazy and kind of forgot about it too so I was like okay I gotta do something about it because I MISS TUMBLR LIKE HELLLLL and I really need to come back because I’ve missed tons of good pics and posts UGJSKJDHJFHKJ so!!!! Here I am again!!! 

The thing is that I’m here to tell you that I will be deleting this blog at some point so if you still want to see me on your dash and stuff, you should follow my new blog!!!

But... Be warned!!! There might be days when I’ll reblog a lot of my old posts (from this blog) so if you don’t want to see me reblogging hundreds of old posts and totally spamming your dash with all kinds of stuff you shouldn’t follow me before I’ve gone through this blog

If you don’t mind the fact that I might be reblogging stuff like crazy (btw I live in finland so if I reblog during the day, all my american followers will probably be asleep so it might not be a problem) then pls follow me uGhuuhUHuGuhUgUhgUGUh

The new blog is pretty much similar to this one, it’s just that I used to be a full boy group stan at first (in 2015-2016, uhhh like a year but then rv and twice and ioi were like heeeyyy) so my tags made it look like I posted/reblogged a lot of bg stuff but those days are GONE since I deleted almost all bg posts AND I’m a 99% girl group stan these days (there are a few bg’s I stan though but just a few) so if you are a bg stan you probably shouldn’t follow meEEEE lol no but seriously there will be A LOT OF girl groups and not that many boy groups

SO you’re ready to keep seeing me on your dash like daily??? Good!!! My new blog can be found HEEEERE yeeeeee!!! If the link doesn’t work, click this: https://fishiequeen.tumblr.com/ or type fishiequeen on the search bar thingy and also @fishiequeen yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

It’s FISHIEQUEEN like the queen of fishes and I will go back to oddeyegalaxy (or change the whole url) when I’m ready and deleting this old blog of mine

Also even if I follow you it does not mean that you have to follow back!!! We don’t have to stay mutuals or anything if you don’t want to and if you don’t want me following you pls let me know!!!

Indeed.

Hello there fishiequeen! Don’t worry, you’re not bothering me at all! I actually like getting questions like these!

In all honesty, all nations in the Middle East can go both ways and either gender. Though sometimes, some people would prefer a certain nation to be a certain gender (E.g: Preferring Iraq to be a male rather than a female) but make sure if you come across a person like that, they don’t shove that belief down your throat (I had people not role play with my Lebanon character because she was a female…. Gross!)

Saudi Arabia can actually really go either male or female. As long as you do it tastefully and don’t shove the female character into a Belly Dancer costume (which I’ve seen way too many times and makes me shudder). If you want her to be female, I suggest you search up as to what kind of clothing women in Saudi Arabia wear. Which would be mostly the Niqab, whereas men in Saudi Arabia wear the Thawb and the Keffiyeh. Though, don’t be fooled! Saudi women DO WEAR designer clothes under their Niqabs (so I guess to some extent, you could probably make her somewhat into clothing and stuff…)

Age wise, Saudi Arabia would be quite old seeing as they WERE known and referred to as Arabia during history. So, if you want to make out the age of your character, I suggest you do extensive research into Saudi history, and ancient history. I had to do that with Lebanon and Syria A LOT in order to determine their ages; both nations stand as being over 2,500 years old since the Levant in particular is one of the most oldest regions in the Middle East (and in the world, I think)

Personally, I would make Saudi Arabia female just to mix things up. But really, it is entirely up to you with what YOU, as the creator, as to what you want to do with your character.Don’t be afraid of being judged just because you want to make Saudi Arabia into a male or female!

Another common-ish question you’re probably asking right now ‘Isn’t the whole of the Middle East referred to as Arabia? Well, the answer is no. Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, Jordan and the Palestinian Territories are referred to as the ‘Levant’. Oman, Yemen, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Qatar are referred to as the ‘Gulf States’ and ‘Arabia’. Egypt, Libya, Tunisia, Algeria and Morocco are referred to as ‘Northern Africa’.

So the bottom line is;

1. Do A LOT of research into Saudi history if you want to determine their age2. Be sure to search up and educate yourself about Saudi women and what they wear in Saudi society3. Be sure to do it tastefully! 

I can’t stress the above three points enough! Research and self education is the key to creating a Hetalia character! :)

I really hoped this has helped you out! If I wasn’t clear on a few things, do not hesitate to ask me more questions!

preach it sister c: just because somebody likes history and hetalia doesn’t mean that hetalia sparked their interest. but, it may have just made their love greater, giving them something to relate to more easily. <33

exACTLY LIKE GOODNESS GRACIOUS ITS SUCH A GREAT WAY TO GET INTO HISTORY I DONT CARE WHAT ANYONE SAYS
