Indefinite hiatus

Promoting POC voices and uplifting those who need it the most! | We are the official Tumblr blog for Operation Draw a Circle. | Newest Project: TBD

[operationdrawacircle]

The Zine is cancelled. I received some really awful news and have been hearing about awful things being said about me. I no longer find this fandom to be something I can engage with. I am so sorry for this change. I will still be hosting zines and charity projects on my main account @yaqamole but I will no longer be hosting any related to Hetalia. So if you are interested in those please go ahead and follow my main account.

I once again apologize for this news. I know I built up excitement but I cannot engage with Hetalia without feeling sick to my stomach. Maybe I will return one day but as for now, this is it for me. My hetalia cosplays are retired and my ask blogs will be put on hiatus until I can figure out what I want to do with them.

If you have heard things about me, I hope you can trust that they are not true.

I thank everyone who made this fandom a wonderful experience for me and who have supported me through so much. I can never forget you all. You are in my heart always.

This is me retiring from Hetalia indefinitely. I teuly am sorry that it came to this. I wish everyone the best and hope I can keep in contact with others.

Goodbye for now

- Rafael

Hello everyone! Life has been busy but we are still here. This is the official interest check form for the zine. Please reblog to get the word out and if enough people are interested, I will go ahead and move forward with the project!

Hey, if we're a new creator but do plan on posting consistently (and are adhering to all the other conditions) is that okay?

Yep! That is a-okay!

[operationdrawacircle]

We're still here and accepting creators for the masterlist as well as planning our next event. The mods have been busy is all! But don't worry, we're going to announce the next upcoming project soon!

[operationdrawacircle]

i'm hella inactive but i do run @hwssouthasia along with focusing on hws china and america and running that ship week (@amechuweek) ? so what's the criteria besides being a person of color to be added to the list?

So long as you are a content creator that is a POC, you are welcome to be added on the list. This does also extend to blogs that are based around events that include at least one character of color. I'll go ahead and add you on!

ODAC Masterlist (Updated 7/26/23)

As promised, I have started the masterlist of Hetalia Creators of Color and Jewish Hetalia creators. I want to thank @peonycats​ and @lingkaranitubumi for the good list of creators that they provided on a reblog for another post which I used to make up a good portion of this list.

If you know a creator that was not added in here that you want to see, please feel free to send an ask or message me and I will add them. All I need is their @ and what they create.

Thank you to all the wonderful Creators of Color and Jewish fans who make this fandom what it is!

Interest Check

I was thinking of having our next project support a different community than we served in our first event. I was thinking perhaps a charity zine for the Asian community and Asian characters. Would you all be interested in a charity zine focused on Asian characters?
