The Pasta Army [APH Fanclub]

Hi, you!
If you have been following Mr. Himaruya's webcomic-turned-manga-turned-anime, Axis Powers Hetalia, and you are okay with it and want to find a place where a lot of people know APH, then by all means, make yourself at home! We'd be glad to accept you.

What is this thing you’ve got going on here, Raven?
Well-it’s a casual fanclub, and of APH. This is very casual-sometimes just something as simple as sharing information about the characters.

APH is an ongoing anime/manga series that depicts world history—renaissance, WWII, and the such from the times of the Roman Empire to modern days, and the characters are the anthropomorphic countries, from ancient powers [Rome, Ancient Egypt, Ancient Greece, etc] to micronations [Sealand, Seborga, etc.] Above in the picture we have Taiwan, Liechtenstein, and Belarus. There are countless fanart, conventions, doujins, spinoff games [HetaOni being the seemingly most popular now], music [Hetaloid, anyone?] based off those countries.

Never heard of APH? You are welcome to join us as well~! You can check out this article on TvTropes for more information, or this article on Know Your Meme, for better explanation for any meme seem/derived from this show. If you want to get to know the characters better, please follow this link for a simple character introduction.

| Please don't cuss, guys. Children can be on this website. Or, at least star out the letters? Use common sense on this one--if it's needed to be starred out, then please do so.

| Be kind to everyone. Don't trash someone's ship/pairing or their favorite character. Let's all act mature here.

| Spam [chain-mail, irrelevant and/or one-word posts] will not be tolerated here. Stay on topic, please? c:

| Show respect to everything. Although this one sort of ties in with Number 2 up there, this is Hetalia. It's not right to make jokes about serious historical events. Not everything is happy-happy-fun-fun, and we respect that. Nothing offensive will be tolerated.

| Please, nothing too 'out of line'. Don't go too wacky with your ideals, please. If you have something that won't be appropriate for a relatively family site, then please don't post it. Everything should be kept clear away from the R rated section.

Well--that's it. I don't have a blacklist around -yet-, because the majority of people here are pretty sensible and there is no need for such thing.


Check back here for special events. There are none running at the moment ^^"

My sincere apologies if it seems this way -- this had been preplanned with materials, it is a coincidence. Now, I can see that you did make a Hunger Games fanclub a few days ago. It's not meant to be intentional, I swear. ^^"

Squiby is a smaller website than most, and it's difficult finding others that truly have a passion for different things. Since this FC is still very much in construction right now, if you aren't satisfied with how things are formatted here, (I understand completely, I've been through this frustration, most of the time it does turn out to be misunderstandings) please feel free to shoot me a PM with a list of things you would like altered or changed, so every fanclub is unique.

Thanks,

-R.

Welcome to the club, Opal! Glad to have ya here...and that's a lot of OTPs. O.O

Which ones are your favorites?

Yeah, new thread smell FTW.
Ancient Egypt x China?
Wow-I've heart of Ancient Egypt x Ancient Greece and Ancient Egypt x Ancient Rome, but never China. Also, Rome x China is so lovable. Once, I've heard someone say that Rome x China is like China x N/S Italy.
There are a few nations that come close to sharing my birthdate, but never one landing spot-on owo

Welcome, Bird~
It's quite alright, make yourself at home! I rather like your signup sheet, we have lots in common, I relate to Canada because I'm Canadian and invisible. Sort of like Mattie is. c:

I haven't gotten around to making a bio yet, but I'll get started right away. c:
Oh, yes. Happens to me all the time. You won't believe how many times Pochi-kun and Hanatamago were shifted off to the center, or just failed to show up altogether on that beginning slide. x_x"

Username: Raven573.
I would usually go with 'Raven573' on most websites that I joined a long time ago [any time from 2-4 years ago], but don't bother with 'Raven573', that is quite formal and I don't believe I will get to that level of formality.

Tell us about yourself: I like anime and cookies. When I first found APH it was on a vocaloid MAD. Canterella, I believe. Someone noted on the comments how much Kaito looked like Russia, and I became confused and searched it up.

Nickname: Raven

Favorite character(s): Italy Veneziano, Finland, Norway, and Hong Kong.
N. Italy's so happy all the time, Finland is cheerful, Norway is mysterious, and Hong Kong is funny.

Favorite ship(s): Prussia/Hungary.
They're like childhood friends who share a hot/cold relationship all the time. Also, kudos to SuFin. It's rather charming, the way Sweden claims Finland as his wife. They already have a family, too-them, and Hana and Sealand.

Country you relate to the most:Japan
I even took a personality quiz for this one. We do share similar hobbies a lot, and we're rather quiet.

Other: I think I covered everything...right?

Oh--I've seen some of the certainly ...wilder fans on dA as well, mainly about Germany x Italy. They also seem to like claiming that Hetalia helps with getting perfect marks in History classes. As something of a history nut myself, I can say that Hetalia won't help with actual History class, but it does seem to spark interest into picking up textbooks again. Some of the historical in-jokes pass by quite easily as well without detection, and it leaves one feeling quite special when they get the joke. :D

I've started the series around a year ago, but I've never really 'gotten into it'. Either way, it is quite amusing--that's what I watch it for. Just an interesting, quirky, casual anime. c:

Prussia/Hungary is quite cute, like the way they quarreled but genuinely cared for each other as children. I liked In Love With a Girl the best out of the two of them, it's quite emotional and ties with the music nicely.

LOLOLOL. Oh, yes- that is very noticeable--that is probably most likely because of the large male cast, as opposed to the fact that Hungary, Belarus, Seychelles, and Ukraine are like, the only female countries to receive any, if at all, screen time. Taiwan might make an appearance in Season 5, if all the rumours go to plan. I’ll have to say I am quite neutral towards all pairings, because I mainly watch Hetalia for the humour and giggles. The good thing about something as simple and comedic as Hetalia is that you don’t need to be emotionally invested, too. It's all humor and laughs here.

Hetalia is known to take refuge in audacity, some people claim that that is the case when you are dealing with a touchy subject like history. It also makes things like these a daily experience. Hetalia is just full of surprises. :D

I loved the pictures in First Kiss, but In Love with a Girl had more meaning and sentiment overall.
