Kiss Your Smile!

It's so nice how the guys in Hetalia have diverse body types in canon. But the fanart where they are all portrayed as overly conventionally attractive and skinny and sparkly is so spread to the point the official art isnt as known, that now everyone outside of the fandom thinks its one of those shoujo bishie animes (like Uta no prince or Jugallobunga Romanti forgot the name of that one) that are aimed at teenage girls.. Oh god now I went off topic as i went along, sorry.

Hetalia is one of those few “Animes” that have realistic body types AND diverse

Italy is what they call “Slender” because he has wider hips and America is “Big boned” because of wide shoulders and a bigger chest 

And look at this cutie too!

Canon chubby character who is adorable 

canon fat character that is adorable 

One thing that I really love about Himaryua’s work especially is although they are anime styled drawings they don’t have the super skinny unrealistic anime body types like everyone looks like they have a healthy weight 

I APPRECIATE THIS SO MUCH OKAY

A long-standing joke in the fandom is that because England’s food is poor, America inherits said lack of taste from him and can therefore eat it without a problem. However, evidence from the strips point otherwise. Just like he chooses to read the atmosphere or purposefully ignore it, it seems that America also chooses whether or not to give his true opinion on the food he eats.

For example, in the sixth comic diary, an adult America reminisces and bashfully admits that England isn’t very good at cooking.

He then has a flashback of his childhood, where his younger self comments and shows disappointment in the fact that England has burnt his food again. He also remarks that France is a better cook, which demonstrates his ability to rank food according to taste.

What I’ll be arguing is that America doesn’t want to hurt England’s feelings, and pretends to like his cooking instead. This is clearly seen in the strip, as young America notices how intently England watches him as he eats.

In other words, he wants to make England feel better. Quite frankly, if England was giving me that look, I’d find it hard to tell him the truth too. England’s reaction after America tells him that he likes the food is too cute for words – it’s absolutely priceless – and this is likely why America keeps up this façade.

Then, in another strip titled “America and England”, it seems that America has become so used to ignoring the taste of food, that he’s forgotten what ‘good’ food tastes like. That’s where I believe his ‘alleged’ lack of taste comes from.

Why do I say this? Because there’s also instances where America becomes aware of how bad the food he’s eating is, and has no problem making his opinion known about it. It’s also important to mention that when he does this, it’s usually in retaliation to England’s insults.

In other words, the moment England is rude to him, America is no longer worried about trying to avoid hurting his former guardian’s feelings and gives his honest opinion on the food. Here are just a few more examples:

After being called a collection of hicks by England, America opens up about how awful the former’s scones are.

America is also known for hating the taste of marmite.

So, there you have it. It appears that America’s lack of taste is more of an aversion to hurting England’s feelings. He may not openly show it, but America truly does care about England; it’s the small hidden details that you especially have to look out for with them since they’re both so stubborn.
