I just wanted to ask you real quick, I want to see if I can hold Asia week next year (2023 and same time as this blog) and I’m stumped on trying to decorate the blog theme/profile picture so it doesn’t have too much of one culture in it. Should I just use a vague aesthetic? Sorry if this is a bit out of the blue 😅

I mean we did put aph china as our profile pic so idk if it's that big of an issue and you can just do whatever ... but if you need help for anything specific you can message us individually on our personal blogs (@luyous @mysticalmusicwhispers)

I’m just wondering, are you planning on doing it again this year?

I realized that we never answered this ask; sorry for the late response! We have decided not to continue hosting asia week going forward; I'm currently focusing on irl and getting through my first year of college, and I think both me and the other mod have been stepping back from the hetalia fandom for a while. Most likely, we'll be archiving this blog so people can still look through it, but for the time being I don't think we'll continue hosting this. If anyone wants to organize their own asia-centric week, go for it! We'd love to see what you create <3

aphasiaweek end!

Thank you so much for participating in the second run of Asia Week! It was wonderful to see so many amazing submissions and we hope you enjoyed this as well!

We’ll be reblogging late works for 2 weeks, so if you still want to make stuff for the event you still have time! Again, just make sure to tag it with #aphasiaweek/#aph asia week and mention this account!

A while ago an anon pointed out that I’ve been out here shipping this for 10 years so…happy 10 year anniversary to AmeNK as of April 2? I wanted to draw them with their national flowers, so late entry for @aphasiaweek day 10 too, I guess. NK’s national flower is Siebold’s magnolia and for the US it’s the rose.

I swear I didn’t mean to make this look like they were getting married but if you wanna send them a “wedding present”, please consider making a donation to Liberty in North Korea, an organization that helps refugees from North Korea find safety and resettle (I will put the link in the notes so tumblr doesn’t shadow ban this post from tags)!

Day Ten: OCs // Culture // Free quote space "You're a monster" / "Better a monster than an arrogant god"

@aphasiaweek
Wahhh!! Thank you for the opportunity of letting me join the event!! It was really fun!! and I think I learned a lot while writing :> Also, I managed to expand a lot on this AU that I'm more than happy enough to talk with people > /// <
Lien = Vietnam Pravat = Thailand Felipe = Philippines Vikal = Indonesia Usama = Malaysia Eldwin = Singapore
AO3 Link -> Tadaaaa

It all happened so fast. Not even Lien expected this. Their front door shattered to pieces while a loud laughter echoes in the room (familiar, haunting that Felipe paused, hand against his chest as he tries to cover Eldwin from the debris) and Pravat’s groan as he tries to stand up. His eyes glowing and speaking of a power beyond a human’s capability (the power of the one who rules the sky).

The figures of two people (each glowing with power that felt oh so familiar to them that Usama couldn’t help but hiss in anger. Fur growing out longer now as he crouches on the floor, fangs lengthening while he growls at the doorway) entered one by one, looking at them with different expressions that Lien couldn’t help but wonder how different they look now.

(But those faces- she will never forget those faces.)

BEHOLD..... THE LONG AWAITED KURDISTAN INTRO POST (wow tumblr preview looks like ass pls click on it)

He is very charming and affable, and can make anyone feel welcome. Even around people he dislikes, he remains friendly; however, his amicability gains an edge of passive-aggressiveness and hostile snark. He's also incredibly tough and proud, and isn't afraid to show it.

Fun Facts:

  • Married to the mountains
  • Brags about Saladin whenever he gets the chance
  • Can be extremely stubborn
  • Had a pet fox in the past; it attacked Iran on multiple occasions
  • Pals with Afghanistan! (Kurdistan🤜dealing with Iran🤛Afghanistan)
  • Deeply distrustful of others

Ive been planning this post for a while and what better time to post it than Day 10 of @aphasiaweek for OCs!

Notes and References:

  • The left half is mostly Kurdistan's interactions with the four main countries (Iraq, Turkey, Iran, Syria) his ppl are spread across- as you can imagine, he doesn't get on particularly well with any of them.
  • Foxes are a widely recurring element in Kurdish folklore as trickster figures who defeat much more powerful opponents; the fox furry thing is an inside joke between me and my friend LOL
  • Kurdistanball is holding a dolma! Dolmas are stuffed dishes, commonly made by wrapping leaves around the filling. They're commonly found in the cuisines of the Balkans, South Caucasus, Central Asia, and the Levant.
  • Bijî bijî means "Long live ...!" and it would make more sense if Kurdistanball said "bijî bijî Kurdistan" (cuz bijî bijî by itself doesnt really make any sense) but I ran out of room 😔
  • Roasted sunflower seeds are a popular treat in the region, especially in the Levant!
  • The lady in white is a tentative design for Miss Yazidi/Miletê Tawûsê Melek! Yazidi clothes are just so beautiful.... She'll prbly pop up with Miss Assyria later ^^
  • I share this Kurdistan OC, Iraq OC, Syria OC (mentioned), and Yazidi OC with @hammyletto!!

APH Asia Week 2021

Day 8 - Thailand + Vietnam / Sports / “The sun will rise and we will try again.”

@aphasiaweek​

Lien - Vietnam / Dirga - Indonesia

This is more like a platonic thing. I only wanted them to interact since I like both characters. And I apologize for the grammar mistakes, English isn’t my first language. I also liked the idea of them being athletes. ——————————

After the last lap, Lien stopped. She was breathless, but she wanted to continue. She was one of the fastest runners of the Track team, but she wanted to be the number one. She felt frustrated as she realised her time was the same. Lien was usually a very serious and patient girl, but when it was about running, she became competitive.

Anonymous asked:

Hello, I got a question that might peak your interest. Do you have Headcanons about the Ainu people of Japan?

not many, but here's some! (@aphasiaweek for Day 9 Japan bashing)

  • bffs with Miss Ryukyu Islands and friends with Miss Sápmi
  • had a (series of) pet bear(s) back in the day
  • used to have a beard
  • Manages to even out "old-man" Japan
  • Very tired
  • Doesn't really like Russia
  • Used to not like Mongolia but it's been 500 years so they're like ok now

and have Miss Ryukyu/Okinawa and Ainu banging out some tunes! Ryukyu is playing a sanshin, and Ainu is playing a tonkori, both instruments played among their respective culture~

Historical Footnotes:

// discussions of genocide and culture suppression

Day Nine: Japan + Macau // Games // “These young guys are playing checkers. I’m out there playing chess.”

@aphasiaweek
Almost at the very last yayayayay!!
Lien = Vietnam Pravat = Thailand Felipe = Philippines Vikal = Indonesia Usama = Malaysia Eldwin = Singapore Kiku = Japan
AO3 Link -> Tadaaaa

“OI! CHEATER!” Felipe screams, tossing his cards into the air while he throws himself towards Usama who squeaks, scrambling backward to avoid the hands that are so intent on hitting him. “I saw you! You cheater!” He shrills on the top of his lungs, accusing the innocent (not really considering that he did cheat) of swapping cards with Vikal underneath the table.

“Felipe please sit down,” Lien asks, tapping the table with her cards. “No need to be a sore loser.” She hides her smile by reshuffling her cards in front of her.

She’s the dealer of the match and she is very much certain that she saw the exchange happen but… no need to ruin anyone’s fun? All of them saw it but only Felipe voiced out his objection, the other’s cheeks already red in rage while he sulked in his corner with Vikal patting his back.

more nyo china hcs

This was intended for @aphasiaweek day 5 but i..am very late 

my inspiration tm for these are: 1) a ton of rich shanghainese women 2) the middle-aged girlboss family friends who run several companies and always meet at some restaurant looking extremely put together and chill and enrol their kids in school overseas and - yeah you get the picture 3) my grandmother 4) my parents

  • She reads a lot of chinese webnovels online…every evening you can see her at her desk hunched over her phone and reading
  • HOWEVER she still lectures younger nations about Using Your Phone/Other Electronics Too Much. justifies it by saying that old people have the leisurely time to spend on such frivolity, while young people should be working hard to make their futures bright and fruitful etc etc
  • spams everyone’s wechat (essentially, facebook) messages with random Articles she finds online about things like: 1) chinese pop/chinese traditional music 2) The Health Effects Of Doing (insert thing that young people do here) 3) nice art 4) Moving Poems, and more! 
  • her messages go unread and people have blocked her on-and-off bc they didn’t want to receive those messages anymore…so sad for xinyan </
  • she uses Personal Shoppers to get herself limited edition gucci/prada/coach etc bags from places like the uk <3 she has a Bag Collection! like the rich person (derogatory) she is 
  • probably doesn’t own companies in nationverse but makes a lot of passive income from investments in land, shares, etc! (yes she’s a landlord…pensive emoji)
  • generally she collects a lot of things including cute stationery and fabric <3 it’s a hobby for her! her online shopping cart is Always full especially during sales and she also hoards things she has from the past like yao
  • she’s the type of person who when clothes shopping takes photos of the clothes she wants and looks for them online at cheaper prices. she can be very cheap at times!!
  • she has very beautiful calligraphy! she also writes poetry - there are a lot of women poets in chinese history, examples including yu xuanji, li qingzhao, li ye, dong xiaowan etc  
  • she cleans up well! Whenever she meets someone whether it’s for work or even casual chats she favours dressing in a sort of trim business causal style - think simple, cool or dark toned dresses or a flowy blouse and slacks! my memory of meeting girlboss adult women is Not Very Good but this is what i remember And of course her prada/coach bags <3 They Cannot Be Missing. 
  • she likes going out a lot! in china holidays are often extended into longer breaks lasting a week or more (…at the expense of more working days either the week before or the week after ^^;) and she, like many others, enjoys taking tours within china during these times!

Day Eight: Thailand + Vietnam // Sports // “The sun will rise and we will try again."

@aphasiaweek
Two!! Days!! left!!
Lien = Vietnam Pravat = Thailand Felipe = Philippines Vikal = Indonesia Usama = Malaysia Eldwin = Singapore
AO3 Link -> Tadaaaa

“A cup of Boba for your thoughts?”

Lien looks up just in time to find herself face to face with the cold plastic container of her favorite milk-tea place. She smiles gratefully for the other, leaving her laptop on top of the table to grab the milk-tea. The coolness and slight watery condensation of the cup itself left her hands wet to which she immediately wiped it down with a towel she found laying around on top of the table.

Probably Vikal’s judging from the bright purple V that was embroidered at the side.

“My thoughts are not this cheap.” She teases, shaking it with one hand expertly. “But let’s just say I needed this exactly right now.” She certainly does after the large amount of emails she saw in her inbox after taking a week break due to Usama and Vikal getting sick at the same time.
