Name: Matthew W. Jones House: Hufflepuff Age: 12 Year: 2 Blood Status: Muggle-born Patronus: Cow Hobbies: Herbology and quidditch Extras: The oldest twin and widely known for being the nicest twin. He loves quidditch just like his brother and plays as seeker for Hufflepuff.

I got a lot of questions about the school and its faculty, so here’s a little starter character sheet for everyone! People will be added/changed as the story progresses, but this is who we’ll be working with for now. 

Thank you for all the asks and patience! I’m hoping to actually get some comics up soon~

Estonia

Name: Eduard von Bock House: Slytherin Age: 15 Year: 5th Blood Status: Half-blood Patronus: Pheasant Hobbies: Quidditch, and muggle technology Anything Extra: Though it’s taboo in the wizarding world to enchant Muggle items. Eduard can’t seem to stop doing it. He knows getting caught enchanting a muggle phone to be used in the walls of Hogwarts would get him expelled and his wand snapped it’s a risk he’s willing to take. It’s even riskier that he’s doing all this while a Slytherin. So naturally his top class is Muggle studies. He plays as a Keeper for Slytherin.

Pottertalia

before I was a Hetalia blog I actually had a Harry Potter blog. I figure hey, why not take my in depth Harry Potter knowledge and apply it to Hetalia. So here is my sorting of Nordics.

Sweden: Slytheirn. He was REALLY HARD. I had to think about this one for awhile actually. But he’s a Slytherin when you get right down to it. Much like another charter I’ll talk about on this post. His outward personality is much like a shell. He remains serous and stern and only reveals his true feelings to very close friends. Yet he’s also strong and fierce when he has to be. He won’t back down from a fight but he also would never just rush in without a plan.

Norway: Ravenclaw. Ive seen him in Slytheirn and I can see that. But Ultimately I placed him in Ravenclaw. I don’t think Norway would be happy with being a Slythern he’s too soft spoken. The main reason why he’s Ravenclaw is for his interest in the unknown. Ravenclaws are know for being excepting of all possibilities. Norway is typically off in his own world talking to his magical friends that only he can see and interact with. He’s reserved and more of a home body. This is a Raven claw to a T.

Finland: Hufflepuff. Of course he’s Hufflepuff. He’s the mom friend of the bunch. Honestly I don’t have to go into this one too much. He’s a Hufflepuff, it’s Finland for crying out loud.

Denmark: Gryffindor. Again another obvious pick. Denmark is loud, proud and everything that makes a good Gryffindor. He never backs down from a challenge even if he can’t win and the idea of danger thrills him. He stands up for his friends and is a major right fighter. Something tells me he’d make an excellent quidditch player as well. Maybe a beater…but that’s a different post…

Iceland: Slytherin. Now I didn’t put him here because he’s sassy. I put him here for why he’s sassy. He uses it as a front. As in that’s not his real personality. It’s a bit of a splash guard. If he pretends to be serious and cool no one will question him or pick on hi instead. Draco Malfoy used the same personality type. He pretended to be cool but was actually a giant nerd. (I’M NOT COMPAIRING HIM TO MALFOY’S ACTIONS! Just his personalty.) When he lets the mold break he shows us that he actually does care about his friends. But it’s his trope he’s adapted that lands him comfortably in Slytherin. I think he would like it there.

Meanwhile, in GerAme

America: *Pulls out cake box from fridge*

Germany, from the other side of the kitchen: What is that.

America: *Takes the last slice of chocolate cake from the box*

Germany: Is that my-

America: *Shoves the whole piece in his mouth the best he can*

Germany: HEY! THAT'S MINE!

Chill dogs with hoodies ^u^

some of mine old gerita criminal AU doodles from last year (about June 2016 lol) that I didn’t upload. I really obsess with Vargas family being mafioso! U///U In my AU, Feliciano is an underboss Ludwig - INTERPOL officer Lovino - Caporegime  Antonio - Lovino’s right hand  Arthur - Professional  swindler, Feli’s old friend since high school Alfred - FBI officer Rome - Don Vargas and etc.!

the plot in summary was sorta like… Feliciano, taking a stroll in the city and strayed from his bodyguards. Feli got a small accident but fortunately was helped by Ludwig that simultaneously on his way to home. Feli had a crush on him, sending some underling to dig Ludwig’s background afterwards and found out his governmental line of work. Despite of that, Feli kept still wooing him while concealing his own secret about being the greatest mobster heir.

Ours Samplus - Spell on you is my favorite track for this AU <3

And  Parov Stelar - Ragtime Cat for Arthur’s theme? Maybe haha

Let me just preface this by clearing up the most common misconception about Russia; that is, he’s evil. In canon, it’s the complete opposite. Russia is explicitly described as “not evil”, albeit being “naturally scary.” Obviously, being scary in appearance and possessing an evil mind are two entirely different things.

In the same character note, it goes on to say that Russia thinks that Vodka and General Winter are his friends. What’s more, everyone that he meets he thinks are his friends. Strange, considering that aside from protecting Russia from invading nations, General Winter attacks and torments Russia himself.

It’s this warped understanding of reality and interpersonal relationships that I’ll be discussing over the course of this post. To do that, we need to understand the core influence of Russia’s childhood on his present person today.

In doing so, this will give insight into the reasons why Russia wrongly sees violence as an answer; why he comes off as cold; and why, despite having good intentions to make friends, he does anything but.

To put it simply, Russia’s childhood was brutal. For the most part, he spent his winters alone with little help and no shelter. This strip darkly alludes to the fact that he grew accustomed to freezing to death.

On top of that, Russia grew up in oppressive circumstances. One example of this would be how he was subjected to Tatar Rule (the Golden Horde).

In “The Yoke of Tatar”, Lithuania first meets Russia and warns the latter that he’ll “freeze to death” if he stays outside for too long. Of course, from the example above, we know that Russia has already died this way several times before.

Here, Russia fantasizes about becoming a bigger country and tells Lithuania that they’ll become friends one day. Now, pay attention to what Russia says when Lithuania offers for them to become friends in the present moment.

“We don’t have enough power.” To me, that seems like a child with a twisted conception of what a healthy relationship entails. Power in a relationship is what Russia’s been taught, it’s all he knows.

He’s picked up on the authority that the Tatars hold over him, and therefore applies it to how he interacts with others. Put another way, the ruled strives to be the ruler.

This cycle of unhealthy learned behaviour is also demonstrated in chapter 194 of World Stars. There, Russia dismantles England’s naval brigade during the American Revolution. When confronted about it, Russia’s response is so naturally oblivious that it appears to have been internalized.

He’s literally equated power with the ability to do whatever you want. Once again, you see how the influence of his childhood factors in here. What Russia observed as a child is now being repeated by himself.

Likewise, it’s not as if Russia’s history has given him a break from suffering either. The damage only keeps accumulating.

In the Bloody Sunday strip, Russia’s brought to tears as he laments about how all his hard work to improve his country has backfired, resulting in his people hating him.

Even darker is that at the end the strip, it’s hinted that he’s been tasked with quelling the civil unrest.

Russia also hasn’t had any mercy spared to him regarding his bosses. While we don’t get too much information about them, what little that we do is heartbreaking.

When Russia is taken as a prisoner of war in WW2 by Germany, he erupts with happiness and claims that he’s in heaven. Out of everything, the most important comment is how he mentions that he doesn’t have to deal with his boss.

Further, when he’s later forced to build a railway by Stalin, Russia snaps. By snap, I mean that he begins to fantasize about warm weather and loses all touch with reality.

This distance from/ misperceived reality is also to be taken into account regarding how Russia doesn’t understand the consequences of his actions. He grew up with violence, so violence is the only way he sees fit to solve his problems.

One example of this would be when England’s caught sleeping at a meeting, and Russia offers to wake up England by hitting him with a sickle. China’s comment, “violence is not the answer!”, is the most telling indication of Russia’s troubled neuroses.

Another example of this inability to recognize the consequences of his violent actions is when Russia snaps Latvia’s neck in an attempt to get him to stop trembling.

That said, I would like to end this by citing a favourite psychologist of mine, Karen Horney. She believed that the “basic evil” (this is used loosely) in the world is parental indifference, neglect, and hostility towards children.

While Russia may have had Ukraine and Belarus, they weren’t around all the time. Centuries of oppressive leaders, bloodshed, and isolation has taken a massive toll on Russia. What Horney also said was that parents who exercised this basic evil of indifference were incapable of treating their children with warmth and compassion as a result of their own troubled childhoods.

Isn’t that what you see with Russia? It’s not that he doesn’t want to be warm and compassionate towards others, because he does. He wants nothing more than to make friends and help ease his chronic loneliness.

The problem is that he doesn’t know how.
