Babies with their âšprotective braceletsâš
What I find really sweet is that all three have their own bracelets that are worn to protect against the evil eye. It's called 'ojo' or 'mal del ojo' in Spanish and 'usog' or 'buyag' in the Philippines. They're mostly worn by children but I've seen adults occasionally wear them.
Some info on the bracelets, and a disclaimer: these are only one of the varieties as I'm sure that there are other variations, traditions or beliefs associated with these types of protective amulets. Though I'm focusing on these varieties for now.
For MX's his bracelet has a central charm consisting of Ojo de venado, which translates as "Deer's eye" and refers to the seed of mucuna mutisiana. The bracelet can be made of cord or beads but they say that once the seed cracks then that means it has successfully absorbed a curse meant for the wearer.
For CB's the central charm Azabache (Jet) is used instead for protection. It's a gemstone mineraloid that's created from wood under extreme pressure and is the lowest rank of coal. The bracelet itself can be made of gold, beads or cord!
For PH's I had the help of @sweaty-clouds who was incredibly kind to share with me some of the bracelets, and meaning behind them ;v;. PH's bracelet is made of coral beads (though recently plastic as well) with red being the most popular color. They also usually come with a lubigan/habak pouch filled with paper inscribed with tiny prayers inside that's pinned to the shirt, but sadly that's not visible in this doodle.
Nyo Cuba
// finally we are out of the dark ages where nyo cuba designs erase her stomach , what a cute piece of art
A holiday gift for my dear friend @ask-hws-cuba
I need my tats touched up so im On my way over now - @ask-italiaromano
Iâll start making cafecito then ! Lets see if I can convince you to try something new ! Thereâs this new technique Iâve been experimenting with ! And Iâve even got a shipment of new needles coming in !
Antonio found out we're friends and is threatening me now. Someone retrieve this white man - @ask-italiaromano
Your telling me heâs out of his crypt ?
Glad to see you on the tl again <3
Thank you !! I needed more of a excuse to shit talk hetalia canon
// kinda love how as a fandom hima literally was trying to feed us by giving FINALLY some official heights and we all said NOPE like Canon is my sand box and I am but a toddler throwing sand at the eyes of others
That being said I hope we can get some official ages for other characters too Iâd love to know why cuba looks like a middle aged man who hasnât known peace and why spain looks like a 25- year old who missed out on leg day like my hypothesis is that all the European colonizers look so young because they basically were vampires like mother gothel staying young staying Vibes like Did the colonization ?? Age him ?? was it the advancements in the sugar industry ??? Whatever it is like tell me why this mf looks like he could be a father- and why Spain like - looks like that like- like spain is canonically 25 - and France is like 26- and England is 23
like we know nations sort of age for like different reasons like we have seen characters like Italy and America like rapidly go through puberty- like just different developments but like MAN WHA
We also know like of nations who look young but are like literally like old to the point where they feel the discomfort of their age like Japan for example like he literally has such old man energy like it feels like his legs are about to give out at any moment , and he actually expresses his old age far more then China does which is interesting like hima SIR please give us the official ages - like I know as a fandom most of us are gonna discard it anyway but please give it to us anyway //
About Cuba, I guess Fidel Castro influenced in the design, or so told me a Venezuelan friend of mine that Cuba looked similar. Also do note that Hima was originally going to portray Cuba as a child ÂŻ\_(ă)_/ÂŻ
Maybe Cuba is an exception to the usual "development = growth" HC, where he looks a lot older than he should be. We do have cases of this in canon the other way around, with China and Japan looking too young for nations that are so old and well-developed
Thereâs definitely some parts of his character that were influenced by Fidel Castro like for example the fact that heâs obsessed with ice cream has to do with a off hand comment hima was making about Fidel Castro obsession with the dairy industry and how weird it was , etc etc
Though in all honesty I donât see it much Itâs really in uniform and maybe the fact that heâs got a beard only , because like .. well fidel Castro is a a pale white Cuban man and Cubas design is seen wearing dreadlocks and usually dark skinned or at the very least tanned in some depictions .. they are pretty different and I think thatâs a good thing like nations are best portrayed as like nations in their own right and not their controversial leaders in my opinion, like I wouldnât want Russias design to be based on Putin for example
Like for his age itâs definitely a odd choice which is why I find it so interesting I think it gives way for many cool headcanons but I definitely think to portray him as a adult was wise I mean, neighboring countries that are younger in age according to history like America are being shown as adults so honestly I think it was a good choice .
Especially because historically a lot of propaganda regarding the islands in the Caribbean , specifically cuba and its ability to run itself, depicts cuba in a very childlike fashion. And itâs not a good thing , itâs meant to be derogatory These are American depictions , but this was also seen with Spain and any other colonizers of impending forces cuba has had to deal with in terms of history but you get the idea
I think depicting cuba as a child , or really many nations like that (least in the modern day , with like maybe the exception of the micro nations where it might make more sense ) is the just not the best best of choices bc It kinda seems a little problematic (unless you know they are being depicted in the past as weâve seen America , Russia , Japan , etc etc go from being child to adult ..) like ,additionally himas reasoning in general when it comes to ages for the nations are really just everywhere really , itâs just confusing and messy , and just constantly changing
Yo could you imagine a five year old at the world meeting yk? Like it would be funny as hell sure but youâd be like huh like what boss baby shenanigans is this your telling me Germany and America who were born literally yesterday morning gets to be adults but the Caribbean, Latin America doesnât ? You are telling me LATVIA ??? ICELAND ? donât either like donât get me wrong I love the fact that despite looking like in their 20s china and Japan have creeky old bones and old man syndrome , like thatâs one of the parts of canon thatâs actually really funny but in general man none of this makes sense and itâs wild
I think he should have more fanarts, but thatâs just my opinionÂ

/// I think the funniest thing about creating content and having cuba as a muse is having to explain to people that he can teleport and thatâs just something in canon and heâs the only mf who we know who can do shit like that like okay Goku I see you Like that just opens up a whole world of possibilities? The ghost that scares aph america on Halloween thatâs him teleporting wearing a sheet to scare him and then go back home ? You piss him off he is now throwing you around playing monkey in the middle with himself and you as the ball , Him getting late to the meeting despite being able to teleport Because heâs too busy making his hair pretty and running on Cuban time the possibilities are endless ? Can the rest of Latin America teleport or is it just him do they all have unique abilities ? Can they flex on Europe ? Who doesnât have those abilities ? //
Wait, when does this happen?? đź Can you show me the strips?
Dude basically is Like tf do you mean you canât teleport which I think the funnier way to analyze it is that he can do so because possibilities are endless I mean aph america has super strength , Russia has his inanimate scarf and vibes and who knows what else , characters have done superhuman things before and Well this is the same show /manga that has a random alien invasion that casually happened so idk things donât gotta make sense but anyway here ya go

Hereâs Some dumb memes I made under the cut while you are here
Honestly Iâve stopped caring about physical ages when it comes to the nations because if anything they either stop aging at 20 or they age super slowly except for America and Germany because of how quickly powerful they got economically. And the fact that people really only use physical age to police what other people ship and use the term pedophilla as an all encompassing term for minors when thatâs not what the word actually means.
thats valid i mean Like I said i just thought it would be interesting now that weâve got the heights even though most of them fandom threw it out the window , see the idea of age limit or age cap has never made much sense to me on account that we have figures like grandpa rome who I believe is canonically in his 40s Which like rome is like foxy grandpa with like back issues supremacy but anyway
We have characters like Moldova who are like canonically like 10 and have stayed that way for while , we have characters like aph america who literally were a child for like most of their life and then boom teenager and how that affects their psyche cause like aph america is like a man child ; we have characters like Russia who are also childish by many accounts. Then you have countries that physically might be young but their bodies and energy is old like Japan who I mentioned any day now is gonna have their legs go out and blood pressure increase to high cause of all the salt they eat , weâve got characters like Italy who we literally see in canon go through signs of puberty even if itâs just a joke like their voice changing like i donât know Like i think it might be nice to have the official ages even if a lot of them donât make sense just to get Like more insight On how their bodies work and aging like so far all we know is that tiny tiny bit of the manga and so the other day I was discussing in a friend server about the whole idea of really old Nations and their bone structure and evolution Which also went along with a conversation about heights with the whole thing of like over time certain countries average height have become taller or shorter for like different reasons, following certain historical events In which height in humans has to do generally with net nutrition and genetic potential along with various other factors and I was thinking about the concept of their heights fluctuating like certainly if they could grow economically and then they get a economic depression it effects their health like why couldnât there be other factors that have to do with their height Like if the height for the average citizen for example assuming thatâs what they are using for all these canon heights (they sort of arenât entirely accurate I can say that much but okay ) would that also improve their height And see like again these are just some silly head canons and questions so but itâs fun to speculate like hima in terms of canon hasnât exactly paid much attention to like the human ages/ physical ages or even really any of those little details in canon like what seems to matter more is like their ages as countries seeming we see that being mentioned a lot more like for example China, like it hasnât exactly been of much importance in canon like many of the canon ages that were not even made a reference directly in the. Manga Atleast from what I remember if it was I do not think it was frequent, itâs either from himas blogpost or some secular content , like being the same issues as their human names their physical ages are barely ever brought up? Like do they not have thoughts on their own existence?? Like where do they come from like are they born to have bones ? How are we considering their ages both like physically and nationally ? Like have a feeling I wonât get my questions answered with in this like life time but if we do get it Iâm excited for all the headcanons and Iâm actually looking forward to seeing fan artists drawing more characters like who knows maybe if we get like official ages chart it will inspire people and we see new fandom contents like even if we get crumbs from hima Iâm very curious to see how weâll go about it as a fandom .. but as for your second part
