Hetalia: Axis Powers

A Study in España’s Favoritism towards Italia del Sur

by SpanishCoatofArms

🍅Synopsis: It was no secrecy that out of all the nations and ex-colonies that were ever parts or allies of the Spanish Empire, South Italy was Spain’s favorite. The red tomato of his eyes, if you will. Favoritism wasn’t a new concept that bore any new mystery or unknown, one can easily find the evidence of such phenomenon in any household and institution if one cares to look closely enough; after all, it means exactly what its namesake implies.What was not so readily obvious, however, were the effects and the far-reaching consequences on other individuals, human and fellow nations alike. Some felt his favoritism more keenly and terribly while others got away relatively unscathed. The goal of this study is to offer a deeper insight from the lens of five (5) different individuals who bore first-hand witness to the consequences of Spain’s absolute devotion to South Italy.It is with hope that as each unique perspective is shown, a piece of the puzzle will fall in place and bring about a better understanding to the question: What does it mean to be favored by the personification of the Spanish nation?🐢Note: Each chapter will also come with its own additional warnings, please do heed them. ¡Gracias!🐢

We know how to die for our convictions

by Hiniwalay

Decades of colonization have done a number on the Earth Kingdom. They’re free now, technically. But not truly. Or: The citizens of the former colonies are slaves to their own mindsets. Lee is not okay with this.

Leftover Lust for Possession - From the Lens of España

by SpanishCoatofArms

🍅A deeper dive into the character of Spain: He might not be a conquistador in title anymore but the lust for possession was still there inside of him. After countless of centuries, it still pulsed endlessly inside of him. España could never quite successfully quell that small tremor of greed whenever he caught a glimpse of his former territories.

A Brief Analysis of Romano Vargas (South Italy)

by SpanishCoatofArms

🍅Based on a fan-art, not a story: Being the grandchild of the great Grandpa Rome was no walk in the park for South Italy. For a long time, his identity was tied to the Roman empire and to other surrounding nations at the time, he was but a mere source of wealth, something to be conquered and for their own benefit.🍅

Un Americain bien

by lunicole

The scent of cilantro and coriander is a delicate one, just as the perfume France used to bring to his darling little Cochinchina back when she would behave, if only for a moment. Those times are dead, more dead than the men who fought in Diên Biên Phu and got crushed by the sheer willpower of what France still has a hard time seeing as anything more than a guerrilla of savage annamites. They're more dead than the man they've just seen being executed, and they're more dead than France's empire, now.
