I love Magneto a lot and I love that there are so many fans of him here on Tumblr but I think a lot of you fail to realise that he isn't a ✨️real person✨️ and ultimately any interpretation of who he is or what he stands for is flawed if you don't account for the fact that he changes dramatically as a character depending on who is writing him.

One thing I have noticed about the Hetalia fandom is that I feel it used to be a lot more historical fiction focused? I got into the fandom around 2012 (yikes) and I mainly loved the fanfictions and fan art focusing on retelling history but with Hetalia characters. Hetalia still means a lot to me, it's my main fandom, but I think it has become less about history over time (understandable considering the rebrand from APH to HWS, and focusing less on history in the manga).

I just found the playlists I made last time I was in my X-Men phase (~4 years ago) and omfg I was onto something with them. Especially the Nightcrawler one cos hear me out, most people put sad songs about religious guilt and trauma on his playlists but I see him as more of a dance/club song vibe because he's so fun in the comics he's not like in X2 😭

Hetalia has officially turned 18 years old! It is so bittersweet that I have been in this fandom for the vast majority of that time. I have spent over half of my life being obsessed with these silly country people! In all that time nothing media has fascinated me quite as much as Hetalia!

When I go to a museum that allows photos I always take a few of things I find interesting. I thought I would share as I know a lot of my mutuals are fellow Hetalians and thus, are also fans of history. I think my love for history can be directly traced back to getting into Hetalia when I was younger haha.

I started trying to learn German because of Hetalia (Germany/Prussia arw my favs 😭) but I kinda fell off. Now I am trying again but it's so hard to find resources outside of langauge apps.
