Lex Luthor hates Superman, Lex Luthor hates the Justice League, bla bla bla… You know who Lex must really hate? Bruce Wayne.

Because he knows that bitch is Batman. He’d worked it through that big brain of his and he’s without a doubt certain that the same idiot who spilled champagne on him last New Year’s Eve moonlights as the Batman.

But he can’t fucking prove it. So he’s resigned to a lifetime of having to make stilted conversation filled with double meaning while Brucie just flutters his eyelashes and pretends to be a ditz. And Lex just has to sit there and take it, because Bruce knows that Lex knows and absolutely uses that knowledge to fuck with Alex at every opportunity—he says the absolute shittest, godawful pickup lines and flirts to his heart’s content, knowing full well that he helped Superman kick Lex’s ass last week and that Lex knows it was him.

Welsh is an official language of Wales. This means, legally, it cannot be treated less favourably than English in any part of daily life. So we have bilingual signs and sometimes the translations are… well just awful.

This is a classic and made the news.

Welsh reads “I am not in the office at the moment. Send any work to be translated.

Welsh reads “Wines and ghosts”

Welsh reads “Warning workers are exploding”

In English these drinks are alcohol free in Welsh the drinks are free “Alcohol for nothing”.

Um- Welsh reads “Free erections” yes really!

This seems a tad harsh “Injure yourself now”

Wording is fine but the English and the Welsh disagree on right/left

The sign says “Parcio I Bobi Anabl” which is “Parking to bake the disabled” which I don’t think Tesco were going for.

Welsh has 7 vowels, two of which English doesn’t have. These being w y. What’s funny about this is that sometimes you get welsh names with zero English vowels.

Arthur strikes me as the type of shithead who just makes shit up to mess with gullible people. Especially Alfred.

Alfred makes a joke about King Arthur and how Arthur Kirkland was named after him, and not missing a beat completely deadpan, Arthur is like

“You’ve got it the wrong way round, actually. I was always a bit bothered by that to tell you the truth. He was an ugly bugger and didn’t like me one bit.”

“What? Hold up- wait wait wait - he was real?”

“What kind of- of course he was real. I was good friends with his mum, that’s why she named him after me, but he himself was a fucking nuisance.”

“You what - wasn’t his mom supposed to be some kind of evil-“

“Oh posh, that’s what all those propagandist want you to believe. Anti-Anglo nonsense.”

“Anti…”

“I’m Anglo Saxon, lad, Pendragon was a Breton. Wanted to kill me.”

“ w h a t “

“Crooked teeth too, always whistled when he spoke. Really annoying.” Looks up, his brother has entered the room. “Rhys got the worst of it, though, he’s the one who protected the bugger for so long.”

Rhys, glances at Arthur’s deadpan expression, Alfred’s pure confusion, not missing a beat: “oh yeah for sure he was an ass.” And then mouths at Arthur (who??) (King Arthur) (ah) “he was a Breton alright, one of mine, but my god he was an annoying one when he wasn’t being all charismatic to his men. I much preferred Merlin.”

Arthur rolls his eyes where Alfred can’t see and glares at Rhys, who was, in fact, “Merlin”.

Alfred is still reeling. “Sorry, wait, the wizard was real too??? You’re making shit up now, you’re absolutely making shit up.”

“Oh no, it was all real, the stories just got most of it wrong,” Rhys assures him, “the table wasn’t round, anyway, it was an awkwardly long rectangle. Also Arthur was brunette, most people get that wrong.”

“And the magic? Wizard??? dragons???”

“Depends on who you ask,” Arthur deadpans.

Rhys winks at him. Alfred’s eyes look like they might actually leap out of his skull. After some accusations of “fucking with him”, Alfred eventually leaves the room to revisit every mythology book he’s ever read.

“You always make things sound so much more dull than they were,” Rhys complains. Arthur snorts.

“What, and tell him the truth? He wouldn’t believe me. Besides, this is much more fun. The boy doesn’t have a mind for magic, you know that.”

“Mm.”

“Whatever happened to that sword, anyway?”

“I’ve told you, I really did lose it.”

“Jesus, Rhys, only you would lose a goddamn king’s sword,”

“He wasn’t even your king, you appropriating ass—“

“I was practically his godfather.”

“You were a child!”

“God-cousin, then. At any rate, that sword was special-“

“It wasn’t, it was just a plain old hand-me-down-“

“It had perfect balance, and he promised me I could have it if he ever-“

“Oh here we go,”

“Lady of the lake — just because you got your girlfriend to cover your ass because you dropped it in a fucking Llyn—“

“It was stolen,”

“Responsible wizard, my ass—“

“The fae what did it were Saxon, you asshole,”

“I’m glad the humans always make you a decrepit old man, it suits you better.”

“I will turn you into a toad.”

“You wouldn’t dare.”

“No, he’s not the eldest, not by far—Alisdair is older, as is your aunt Brighid. Out of our family, he’s nearly the youngest—the only one younger than Rhys is me—but Rhys is… well. It’s hard to put into terms that would make sense today, but his spirit is older, it has been since he was very small. He’s not one of the ancients, but you’d not be the first to think he could be. Spend enough time with him in his own lands, and it becomes easier and easier to believe that he’s older than he claims, older than the old-growth forests that were old even when our mother walked the earth. He’s finds it all quite funny. What do I think? Well, he’s older than me and younger than Alisdair, but I think—no, I know—he was the last true apprentice of the old ways; magic, fae, things like that. Oh, don’t look at me like that! This is precisely why Rhys seems so ancient to skeptics like you, because he doesn’t roll his eyes when you think he should. Fine, go see for yourself—stay with him a while, talk with him, walk with him. I dare you to come back and tell me he didn’t make you believe, if even just a little bit, that he grew up alongside dragons.”

I’ve been messing around with an AI app and have created a series of character inspiration images for my beautiful warlock eldrich boy, Rhys (Wales) in his younger years.

Ok so dyma union beth dwi’n meddwl pan dwi’n ystyried perthynas cymru gyda hyd a lledrith a’r tylwyth teg. Mae’r llyniau yn anhygoel wrth gwrs ond mae’r testun yn gymwys beth credaf am cymru. Dychmyga cymru fel dderwydd, ac ei bod o yno ar Ynys Môn pan ddaeth y rhyfeiniaid ‘wê bac wen’. Dwi hefyd yn dychmygu cymru yn y mabnogi. Ystyriaf bod cymru yn rhyw fath o ffrindiau gyda Arawn brenin Annwn. Dwi’n sicr eu fod yn adnabod ei gilydd o leiaf.

Ok so this is exactly what I think about for wales’ relationship with magic and tylwyth teg (fair folk). The pics are amazing course but the text is exactly what I imagine others seeing wales as. I think he was probably a Druid way back when and that he was there on Anglesey when the romans invaded, it being the last stronghold of welsh independence at the time or smth. I also see him featuring in the mabnogi, a collection of old welsh legends that still have influence on modern day wales (the country not the person) and him being friends of a sort with Arawn king of Annwn. I bet they know each other at least.

O’n i’n meddwl heddi am sut mae Cymru yn siarad. Cyfaddaf fy mod i’n dod o Gaerdydd felly dydw i ddim mor gyfarwydd ag acenion gogledd a gorllewin Cymru.

Dychmygaf ei fod yn siarad gyda acen eithaf generig yn saesneg rhan fwyaf o’r amser (e.e pan mae’n mynd i cyfarfodydd rhwngwladol (sydd yn anghyffredin)) ac acen fwy gog pan mae yn ei gwlad ei hyn. Wrth iddo siarad saes dwi’n sicr ei fod yn defnyddio geiriau cymraeg trwy’r amser ac pan mae’n siarad cymraeg dyw e ddim yn defnyddio geiriau saesneg o gwbl. Mae hyn yn gwneud iddo swnio fel hen ddyn rhan fwyaf o’r amser gan ei fod o ddim yn defnyddio bratiaith.

Credaf i bod Cymru yn siarad gyda acen cymraeg trwm iawn pan mae’n siarad saesneg gyda Lloegr jest i’w wylltio. Ble mae’r acen o? Mae’n dibynnu sut mae’n teimlo siwr o fod. Credaf hefyd bod ei acên yn dod yn trwmach pan mae’n flinedig. Os mae o digon grac ei fod yn gweiddi mae yn barod wedi newid nol i’r gymraeg.

I’ve been thinking about how wales speaks and what his accent might be. I confess I’m from Cardiff, Wales’s capital, and I’m not as familiar with northern and western accents.

I imagine that wales speaks with a fairly generic welsh accent most of the time (like when he’s at international summits (though he doesn’t attend those very often)) and a more northern accent when in wales. When he speaks english I’m convinced he uses welsh words and directly translated welsh idioms all the time, and that when he speaks welsh he never uses any English. This makes him sound like an old and very proper/nit-picky man since most welsh slang is just English loanwords.

I believe that wales uses a very heavy welsh accent just to wind England up. Where’s it from? Depends how he’s feeling I guess. I also believe his accent becomes heavier the more tired he is. If he’s angry enough that he’s shouting then he probably switched back to welsh 10 minutes ago.

[ask-hetalia-cymru]

So fi di gweld llawer o enwau wahanol i Gymru yn rehedeg o gwmpas yr wê ac on i’n meddwl gallen i siarad amdanynt ac wedyn esbonio pa enw fydden i yn defnyddio. Ni fyddai une cyfieithu hyn oherwydd dwi ddim eisiau ysgrifennu popeth dwy waith. Os chi’n siarad cymraeg chi siwr o fod yn gwybod rhan fwyaf o beth dwi’n esbonio ta beth.

So I’ve seen a lot of different names for Wales running around the internet and I thought I could talk about them and then explain what name I would use for him.

Enwau cyffredin/Common names:

David (Dafydd) is a fairly common name. I know one or two and there are definitely enough well known welshmen called so. There’s also the joke about all the farmers being called Daf Jones. The problem is that David is very much an English name and I see Wales very much embodying the Welsh struggle for identity and language. A big part of modern Welsh history is about the struggle against English erasure and oppression of Welsh culture. (see. Darn Bach o Bapur Pren a Chansen. Sorry about only finding sites selling these books)

Dylan is also a very good name. Especially if you like Dylan Thomos. This is Wales’ name in moonlighten’s Feel the Fear series. It’s really good.

Owain has a lot of important connotations in Welsh history (see Owain Glyndŵr). It’s also a fairly common name in Wales.

Owen was used for Wales by Sunruner in their epic Snakeskins which I highly recommend if you want really good uk bros interactions. And other stuff too. Again this name is a very popular Welsh name.

Rhys is, again, a very popular Welsh name. Again, a bunch of important Welsh people have this name (so many football and rugby players 😅)

And many more.

I, however, would call him either

Gryffydd

Or

Llywelyn

Gryffydd is incredibly popular in wales. I had 4 Gruff’s in my year at primary school alone. It has a lot of historical basis. I also personally really like this name. And it’s one of those names that - like Llywelyn - English speakers seem incapable of saying correctly. Which would really appeal to Cymru because he loves spiting England/Arthur. The shortened version of this name is Gruff. No, it’s not pronounced how you think it is. This is how it’s said

Llywelyn is similar in that it’s even harder to pronounce than Gryffydd. It only has 3 consonants in Welsh (figure out which ones as a challenge). Arthur cannot for the life of him say Llywelyn and this satisfies Cymru’s petty passive aggressive heart so much. Llywelyn is also the name of a bunch of important Welsh princes and it’s pretty common these days. Especially as a last name. The shortened version of this one is Llew which means lion.

I’m not really sure which one to go with but I’m leaning more towards Llywelyn just because England wouldn’t be able to pronounce it. Feel free to comment your thoughts and suggestions for other names for Cymru

Diolch am ddarllen!!

Ah helô pobl. Bydd hyn yn lle i fi postio fy syniadau am Cymru o fewn y byd hetalia ac i pobl gofyn cwestiynau amdano. Creuais hwn oherwydd bod llawer o fersiwnau o’r cymeriad Cymru ond mae gen i’r teimlad fod bron dim ohonnynt yn pobl Cymry. Wrth gwrs dydy hynna ddim yn meddwl bod syniadau pobl eraill ddim yn ddilys. Ond mae nhw yn colli gymaint o beth sy’n gwneud Cymru yn bwysig i mi ac mae hynny yn fy wneud yn drist.

Dwi erioed wedi gwneud rhywbeth fel hyn ac dwi’n edrych ymlaen i geisio. Mae’n ddrwg gen i ddweud fy mod i methu tynnu llun ond dwi yn hapus i geisio os rydych yn gofn. Dwi wedi eisiau gwneud rhywbeth fel hyn am eithaf hir. Fe fydd pob post yn ddwyieithog.

Ah hello everyone. This’ll be a place for me to post my ideas about who Wales would be in hetalia and so people can ask questions about him. I made this because there are so many versions of Wales as a character but I get the feeling that basically none of them are actually from Wales. Of course that doesn’t mean that other takes on the character aren’t valid. It’s just that it means that the Wales I read is never quite the wales I love and that makes me sad.

I’ve never done anything like this before so I’m a bit lost about how to go about it but I promise to do my absolute best. I’m sorry to say that my art skills are average at best but I am absolutely willing to try if someone asks. I’ve wanted to do smth like this for a while and I’m very excited to try. All posts will be bilingual.
