"It's always best to start out with the soups! Both Sopas and Tinola are chicken based and are best to be eaten when sick!"

"Sopas is similar to an American chicken noodle soup, with its macaroni noodles, chicken, celery, and carrots, cooked in a milk-based broth. Tinola is a little more experimental for non-Filipinos. It’s still chicken based, but it has a lot more vegetables like chayote and bok choy.”

How I feel about this character: He's not my favorite character, but he's okay. I just don't like how a lot of the fandom--particularly the old fandom--treats/portrays him. That being said, he can be pretty funny at times.

All the people I ship romantically with this character: Portugal

My non-romantic OTP for this character: France or America, probably. Canada and Seychelles, too.

My unpopular opinion about this character: Oh boy. Since discourse about this will occasionally pop up: he's not the victim of the American Revolution. He is nowhere near a good parent. None of the Hetalia parents are good parents, except Sweden. He is also not super effeminate guy who cries at the drop of a hat, guys. Nor is he a complete asshole. He is a flawed, complex character who lost America due to his own actions, can be a bit...stand-off-ish sometimes, but still cares about others.

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon: I feel like we should've seen more of his punk phase in canon, but that's just me.

My OTP: EngPort

A lot of the fanart I see of it (mind you I haven’t seen much fanfic so I can’t comment on those) very often tend to feminize and wobbify Japan in a way that is kinda racist ngl it’s also really annoying and also kinda gross not only is it racist but it’s also feeding into the homophobic/heteronormative way some people will make one character in an mlm ship the “woman”. I like the idea of ameripan but the fandom content I see often just upsets me

Now this is what IVE seen there’s a high probability that there are people in the fandom that DONT do this however the majority of what I see do so I’m not bashing ameripan or its shippers (unless they do shit like the above)

Matthew was walking to the parking garage to head home from work when he saw the large alligator looking person. Stopping in his tracks he stared in shock, they appeared to be a she and she was running. Talking to herself and running, he was quick to see from who and wasn't sure what to do. In that moment, part of him wanted to help. It seemed from his perspective she was being chased simply for being different, very different.
