Um 🥺👉👈 hey there syrupyyy 🥺🥺 is it okay to um... 😳 to like Aph England 🥺😔😔 everyone else says no 🥺🥺 👉👈 so I’d like your opinion 🥺🥺😢 what do I do 🥺🥺🥺😢😢

Seeing as I am the legal creator of Hetalia, I feel like I'm probably the most qualified person to answer this question. England, as a character, is incredibly complex and hard to define, and it's extremely common for people to misrepresent him. He's just a complicated character, so it's only natural that there's some discourse over whether or not he's a "good" character; On one hand, he's done extremely morally reprehensible things throughout the entirety of his history. On the other hand, the reasons he had for doing these things often stem from his deep-rooted self-hatred and harsh desire to be acknowledged as a capable person by his peers. Or, in the humanverse, he's a character thats shown to want to fit in, but has a hard time articulating his emotions and often ends up hurting others due to him mishandling his temper. He's a person that was never taught to express himself in a healthy way (or at all, in some cases), which brings us to the question: At what point should he be given the benefit of the doubt? If someone is initially deprived of the resources and love that they need to grow, how much leeway should they be given when they're given the chance to be better?

I guess the tl;dr is: is it okay to like aph england, despite his glaring flaws and issues? My answer:

lmfao nah he sucks ass

His 🍑 was popular on twitter so I might as well post it here too. 

Its been 3 years since I’ve been active on tumblr but I’m more than happy to return for Hetalia

Might draw Hetalia just for the sake of getting some proper modern outfits

Ngl I think I’m tentatively now in the “Yao had short hair for most of the 20th century” club 🤔. It’s true this certainly isn’t wholly a novel thought, given the irl politics of Chinese men’s haircuts in line with the end of the Qing dynasty and shift to China becoming a republic. But in the past, I kind of swung between headcanoning that he soon grew it out again by the 30s (if only because he’s kept long hair for thousands of years before and it feels like such a integral part of his character) and that he didn’t until much, much later (90s and onwards?). And I think I kind of like the latter option now, if only to reflect how much of the 20th century involved China cycling through all kinds of different ideologies and crises very tumultuously— just this constant stage of remaking and at times trying very hard to cut ties with the past and his old life and its perceived weaknesses (the whole thing about destroying the “Four Olds” during the cultural revolution even led to the vandalism of Confucius’ tomb amongst other historical sites).

And precisely because keeping long hair was one manifestation of his old self and traditions, I think I like the idea of him finally coming back to it only after much soul searching, and a sort of rebalancing of himself between the old and the new. I don’t think he ever feels absolute equilibrium and the weight of the tumult and tragedies of the past century are still being felt and negotiated, but I think I can see him being comfortable with growing his hair out again by the late 90s or early 2000s. For a nation as old as he is, it’s part and parcel of existence to live many lives and to find yourself changed—but there are always some core threads of his being that he eventually returns to.
