Hi Anon TYSM YOURE TOO KIND!!!!! 🥹🥹🥹

How does one become this silly

Itz a secret🫢🫢🫢

Whenever I see Ukraine happy with Russia and Belarus I die in cringe tbh. Hima did a horrible job

Rewatching hetalia did this to me. So here we are.

Hetalia! Ukraine

This might be tricky to understand unless you grew up in Ukraine; but as we know, she is often depicted in hetalia holding a giant pitchfork. So around when the anime was made, there was a (marginal) politician in Ukraine, in charge of the radical party, Oleh Lyashko (Олег Ляшко), known for his striking appearance with a pitchfork during campaigns; (the dude behind her)

SO AS A UKIE I HAD TO DRAW THIS RAWRJKDSWCHRDSKJD

(The stuff she is saying comes from an insult phrase Lyashko often said as well about his rivals, «скотиняки» [skotyniáky], translating to something like «stupid animals»)

yk i love this specific Romano that lives in my head rent free + his broad emotional spectrum

yes, am pathetic enough to post old sketches but i like this one. brainwashing you into thinking I can draw emotions: thats not true🫵🏼

I am procrastinating on finishing a fic so I drew the crew instead

8 April 1866 • A secret Italo-Prussian Treaty was signed

…according to which, Romano agreed he’d help kick Austria’s ass, and Prussia guaranteed he’d not back off from the war until Veneciano’s reunited with the rest of Italy.

Now, why Romano, you may ask, if the Risorgimento was initiated more so by the North? Well, in my interpritation, it all started with Sardinia/Piedmont-Sardinia/Savoy, (a separate OC because she deserves it), whilst Romano joined her in 1861, – who had been the Kingdom of Two Sicilies under the Bourbon rule prior, his people voting 98,5% to join. Thus, the Kingdom of Italy was proclaimed in 1861; with Venice still living under Austria’s rule up until 1866.

And it was mailnly upon Romano to be the Kingdom of Italy in the next 5 years. Not that he had ever wanted it.

[As you may have noticed, I got into PruMano and Risorgimento simultaneously, god forbid. And I’m trying not to trail off, but I’ve got a detailed version of the events’ interpretation in my head – what happened to Sardinia? why is it Romano and Veneciano, out of all, specifically, that came to be modern Italy? What about the Papal States? — but more on all that to come🫢]

The last thing I’ll add, is that though I tried to make their uniforms nerdy af accurate, basing Romano’s off Sicilian Regiments’ Chivalry and Prussia’s off high-ranking Prussian commandment on general, this is still a silly anime bois fanart first and foremost lol. Take nothing seriously

This has been living in my head for a while now, and I’m finally ready to announce it:

«Ukraine.1917»

– a historical Hetalia brainrot project that focuses on events around Ukraine in 1917-1921, aka the war of independance, or the ukrainian revolution – or that one time when she almost got away with it.

(Here are a few English-speaking vids that can explain what’s going on: https://youtu.be/9Gwuu7TXPwI?si=fmAfCIj-VSbxeoiQ and https://youtu.be/YVuuwQSjzvs?si=SY4JukRo9OW1uoBq )

basically – I am planning a series of mini-comics, drawings, etc. about the events of this period through Hetalia characters – bc hey, why not. We see so little of Ukraine in manga and reinventing her brings me genuine joy. 😔✋🏼.

It might turn out into a chronologically consistent comics, in which case it will be published here and in my tg channel. Or ot may not, lol idk I‘m just having fun

These are just some initial concept-sketches of mainly Ukraine 1917 to 1919, but also Poland and Germany as u can see

Please feel free to ask me anything on this!

☝🏼☝🏼☝🏼

every time i see a dumbfuck in this fandom fundamentally misunderstand whatever may possibly be the problem with the prevailing characterisation of hetalia ukraine and her relationship with russia and belarus the urge to gatekeep her and preferably all of eastern european characters gets stronger
