Himaruya might hint in Chapter 428 that Portugal and Spain are twins.

The answer to the first question is November 25, 2006. “1125” in Japanese could be read as “iihutago”, meaning “good twins”. So on this day, in Twitter and Pixiv, many Japanese artists draw fan arts of twins. Himaruya might choose this date as the correct answer to hint that Portugal and Spain are twins.

Portugal says that the answer to the first question is about him and Spain, and Spain also says that it is he and Portugal’s important day. In this case, “good twins” day becomes Portugal and Spain’s important day to celebrate their being twins.

In fact, the day of the cooperation agreement of tourism is not well known for the rest of the world, and among the list of dates given by Spain here after, this date (in the year of 2006) is either the earliest or the latest. Did Himaruya choose this date as the answer from this list randomly? I believe that he indeed hints something.

In the official book, Collezione, published last year, there is no mention of Portugal and Spain being brothers, but still it does not mean that they are not brothers. The fun of Portugal and Spain is that every reader can tell they look like identical twins, but they themselves deny it. So if Himaruya confirms that they are twins, it would spoil the fun. And the official confirmation is not so necessary since everyone can tell from their appearance that they are twins.

On the other hand, Canada and USA are confirmed “adopted brothers” in Collezione, which is the case that their blood relation is officially denied.

Another case is that China and other Chinese districts are commonly believed by fans that they are related by blood, but this relationship is also not mentioned in Collezione.

Some fans might be offended by the hinted incest of Portugal and Spain. But this is not the first time of hinted incest in Hetalia. In Hetalia anime, Belarus asks her brother, Russia, to marry her. Also in the Hetalia movie, Paint it White, Switzerland and Lichtenstein enjoy themselves together as if having a honeymoon, while the rest of the world is in chaos. Even in fandom, Prussia and Germany is a popular pairing. And as for UK and USA, although they are not blood-related, it is still awkward enough that adopted brothers end up in lovers.

give me ace characters who are unabashedly sexy and flirtatious.

give me aro characters who are emotional and clingy.

give me bi characters who can't even make eye contact with anyone, let alone flirt with them.

give me pan characters who are deadpan (haha get it) and have black cat energy.

give me non-binary characters who dress completely femme or masc, who don't “look non-binary”.

give me trans characters who don't completely pass as their gender but are still respected and not the butt of a joke.

fuck the stereotypes, give me more variety in queer representation.

once again opening a ship tag on AO3 and opening a dozen fics and closing out of almost all of them immediately because they would not fucking act like that

Yaaaaalllllll!!!

CHICKENS ARE FLUORESCENT!!

Please please please if you get photos or video of your chickens under a black light tag me or this post! I WANNA SEE!!!

Why I hate hetalia Belarus design:

Because it's a literall tracing from the soviet school uniform.

The soviet school uniform had started as, in fact, an analogue of the gymnasium uniform of tsarist russia. Even small experiments with the style or length of the dress were strictly punished by the school administration. In addition, it was obligatory for girls to wear braids with bows. No haircuts were allowed.

It was troublesome for the girls to wear those uniforms. Snow-white cuffs and collars had to be removed every week, washed, steamed, and sewn back into place. The apron was worn black with a brown dress. It did not look very spectacular, but it protected the clothes from ink stains. On holidays, they wore a white lace apron, so it was necessary, for example, to go to the line on September 1.

My mom, who was born in the 80s, said, "There was a terrible poverty back then. Now you have the opportunity to wear different clothes, but we had one brown dress, which we took care of as best as we could. My mom hated it because it quickly got "bubbles" on the bottom that couldn't be ironed, so she made steaches on the fabric to make a pleating, washed, dried, ironed, and then ripped the steaches off. Every time. Like a good mom, she wanted me to look fashionable, so she bought different guipure collars and cuffs and also sewed them on and ripped them off, sewed and ripped. Teachers were surprised by how clean I looked, but it was just hours of hard work. The dress was from a pretty warm fabric, a wool, so it was quite hard to study during spring or early autumn - it just was very hot, and girls got sweaty fast.

We also had pins: the average ones and cool ones. The average one was a metal star with old ugly Lenin on it. The cool one was from transparent plastic - and it had a baby Lenin on it. It looked like a little angel surrounded by flowers, so it wasn't that ugly. My mom once, miraculously, changed my average pin to a cool one somehow."

Soviet school uniform is just another symbol of the russian regime.

Мне балюча глядзець на гэты гвалт і скрыўленне
