me as nyo!Italy in summer 2015
Empezar a ser feminista cuando has formado tu vida en un ambiente machista es bastante duro, además de incómodo. Como has crecido en unos pensamientos totalmente ajenos al feminismo, es muy probable que tus amistades, familia y entorno en general sea muy sexista, así como tú misma/o en el pasado.
Poco a poco te empiezas a dar cuenta de las actitudes que tienen las personas cercanas a ti. Tu novio, tus amigos, tus padres, tus familiares, el día a día. Y tratas de cambiarlo poco a poco, intentando hacerles ver por qué sus comportamientos son machistas y por qué están mal. Pero no te escuchan.
Tienen la cabeza tan adoctrinada por la sociedad machista, por toda la propaganda anti-feminista, por sus propias actitudes, que es casi imposible que lo vean. Por no hablar de que seguramente tú estés en desventaja, ya sea por número o por capacidad de debatir.
Además usarán los errores de otras mujeres como armas arrojadizas contra tus argumentos. Porque a las mujeres se las juzga como colectivo, a ellos como individuales.
Un chico tiene un accidente de coche: “Qué mal conduce ese tío”.
Una chica tiene un accidente de coche: “Qué mal conducen las mujeres”.
¿Por qué usan las cosas que las feministas hacen mal para criticar a todas las mujeres, pero luego se ofenden si usamos algo que hacen muchos hombres para criticar esos comportamientos?
El feminismo es un tema amplio, muuuuy amplio. Hay tantas cosas que comentar que no caben aquí. Sólo quería decir un poco lo que tenía rondando por la cabeza.
Buenas tardes.
I drew this for Pride Month weeks ago but I wanted to post this here to say JUST a thing:
You see how Grandpa Rome has two curls?
Well, headcanon- he has diphallia

Hello everyone! Let’s talk about it: one of the most annoying issues about Hetalia are *drum roll* the NAMES, people. Characters’ names/surnames, yes. So, with my friend, I wanted to give them a more “realistic” trait, starting with my nation’s one, Italy. I tried to change ONLY canon names, not those who are not decided yet (such as Belgium’s or Ukraine’s, for example). Some of them remained unchanged, because of specific reasons, but I would be glad if all of you could help me with your home country. Let’s begin!
N.Italy= Francesco Vargas (Francesco is a common name in Italy, also is our St. Patron’s name. As an italian, I’ve never head before of “Feliciano”);
S.Italy= Salvatore Vargas (Salvatore is a typical southern name, very common in South Italy. Also here, Lovino is not an italian name.)
I left the same surname chosen by Himaruya just because “Vargas” is an existent italian surname. (If you want to know, it’s actually the name of a football player);
Germany= Ludwig Schmidt (Only changed the surname here, I think Schmidt is more common in Germany and its sound is similar to the original surname’s one);
Japan= Daisuke Honda (Kiku is a symbolic name, really beautiful and rare, but I’ve thought to give Japan a common name. Honda is a famous japanese surname, nothing to say about it);
USA= George F. Jones (The surname isperfect as it is, I guess. George is for George Washington and F. stays for the same Kennedy’s second name );
UK= Arthur Thompson (I was insecure about his name. At the first time I thought about bames as “Oliver”, because of his popularity and because of Oliver Twist, or “John”. But then I realised that Arthur is good and symbolic as well. So, I’ve changed the surname. Kirkland was pretty anonymous and I wanted something that could have sounded more british);
France= François Bonnefoy (Only transformed Francis, which was the english version of the name, in François, very used and “french”);
Russia= Ivan Vasilyev (Braginski was a polish surname! I’ve chosen something that still sounded like “Braginski”, but at the same time was a real russian surname);
China= Yao Wang (I didn’t found anything to change here);
Spain= Antonio Fernandez García; (Antonio was good, also Fernandez is popular. I’ve only removed Carriedo in order to replace it with García, which is largely used in Spain/countries with a spanish toungue);
Prussia= Gilbert Schmidt (Gilbert was perfect, only changed the family name);
Austria= Roderich Amadeus Wagner (Roderich was ok. I’ve added “Amadeus”, because of Mozart and changed the surname in “Wagner”, still a composer’s name. The combination of this three names gives me some sort of nobility impression);
Hungary= Ágnès Horváth (Totally renamed her. Ágnès is not only cute, but also a bit used, I guess. I found Horváth to be one of the commonest surnames in Hungary);
Canada= Matthew Williams (I don’t see nothing wrong here, maybe it has to be something francophone in there?);
Belarus= Natałlia Arłoŭskaja (Leave it as it was; but changed the way it was written);
Egypt= Muhammad Hassan Al-Nur; (Okay, Muhammad and Hassan are very popular among arabics names, in fact I just leave them to be. But, I found out that Gupta was an Indian surname and also the letter “p” kinda don’t exist in arabic. Soooo I’ve made a list of some cute surname and, at last, Al-Nur won among the others);
Estonia= Eduard Tamm (Tamm is pretty common);
Finland= Timo Hämäläinen (Tino actually wasn’t a finnish name, but TiMo yes. Hämäläinen is rather common and it’s a good alternative to Väinämöinen, that is not a real surname);
Greece= Αlexandros Ypsilanti; (Alexandros is a good, widespread and elegant name. Alexandros Ypsilanti, is also a national hero’s name, during the greek war of indipendence);
Latvia= Raivis Liepa; (Raivis was an actual latvian name, so why don’t keep it? Only the surname changed, Galante was an italian one);
Lithuania= Laurynas Valaitis (I’ve changed everything here, in order to make it realistic, but also to make it sound like “Toris Laurinaitis” as well);
Poland= Feliks Łukasiewicz (It is just normal as it is);
Sealand= Peter Thompson (Only changed his family name);
S.Korea= Kim Yong Soo (Just as it was before);
Sweden= Gustav Lindström (Gustav was the name of many swedish kings. Lindström is commonly used, I think.)
Switzerland= Noah Schweizer (Noah is commonly used in all the cantons, the surname has a german sound);
Turkey= Sadık Adnan (Almost the same. The name is written in turkish)
IF ANYONE HAS ANYTHING TO SAY/ADD/ERASE/CORRECT PLEASE, YOU’RE WELCOME! I’D LOVE YOUR HELP. DISCLAIMER! The post will be updated every time if needed.
I have failed
I believe it’s an unwritten rule in the Hetalia fandom that you have to have a crush on at least one of the Nordics.

but have you ever had someone leave a comment with a paragraph-long review of your fanfic containing genuine praise, thorough criticism, and an in-depth analysis of all the lore hints you dropped that you spent ages intricately crafting
