GIVE IT BACK

on the mischaracterization of norway, a mini character analysis (because i feel like people are tired of me going 'oh, i like canon norway so much more than fanon!' without explaining myself)

before anyone starts barking at me, you can prefer fanon interpretations! that's 100% fine! the point of this post is to discuss what canon nor is actually like, because i feel like most people don't even know that there's a difference between canon and fanon

a) on seriousness

i feel like there's a big dissonance between the serious, solemn norway portrayed in fanon, and how he acts in canon! don't get me wrong, he can be serious, but he's also a silly guy! he has a sense of humour and he likes to tease and be kinda mischievous!

some examples from the manga that i feel show this! (there's a lot!! this is a recurring character trait!!)

b) on being cool (he's not) (not even a little bit)

point being that he's a loser and a weirdo and strange and awkward and shy and, unlike how i usually see him in the fandom, not suave at all :,) examples (image order is right to left):

c) on his relationship with other characters

this is gonna be a quick point because tbh it deserves its own post haha but 1) dennor like each other!!!! it baffles me that people act like they don't! norway teases him a lot but he clearly cares!

also a good place to add an explanation as to how nor uses the words "bro" and "brother"! hima has said that his use of the japanese "anko" is meant to resemble a regional japanese accent where the word is used how "bro" would be used to refer to a classmate or friend! it's not meant to be nor thinking of denmark as an actual brother

2) he and ice are silly together :) he calls him just to ask a single question and hangs up on him. he threw him a surprise birthday party right in the middle between their 2 birthdays! he's not just an overbearing older brother, he's genuinely warm toward him!!

Wanna know a part of Hetalia fanon that I love and adore, and will never, ever tire of?

The Nordics.

And when I'm referring to fanon, I'm talking about all the different ways fans like to view and/or interpret the Nordics relationships with one another. (Though to be fair I'm almost positive at least one of these is more or less canon).

Like...

We have the fanon of them just being a fun, goofy band of brothers (Though I think this one is technically canon...?).

We have the anko family comprised of Denmark, Norway, and Iceland being brothers.

Or we have a variation of the anko family where you have DenNor raising Iceland as a son.

And then we have the Hanatamago family where we have SuFin raising Sealand as their son. Along with Finland's dog Hanatamago, of course.

Not to mention the Hanatamago family variation where we throw Ladonia into the mix as a brother to Sealand.

And then we have DenNor and SuFin both living together and collectively raising both Iceland and Sealand as a group. (With maybe Ladonia included? I dunno).

And we have the Viking Trio of Denmark, Norway, and Sweden going on adventures together.

And then a Viking Trio variation with them collectively helping raise a cute little baby Iceland!

And then the fanon of the whole group being one, big, weird, crazy found family who love each other no matter what! (This one is my personal favorite).

In short, I love the Nordics so freaking much and nothing is ever going to change that. They have lived in my head rent-free since I was twelve and by golly, it's gonna stay that way!

He's so painful

*draws him on a daily basis*

everyone should be weirder about their ocs more.

here‘s the thing; all the peepaws can actually differentiate from each other, which is kind of scary, however…

they are completely lost when it comes to the little Leos. they regularly take the wrong one home.
