Unfortunately, because of current exams and lots of other fan things I am currently working on (mostly fan translations of Hetalia content into russian for my fan-site) I didnāt have time and energy to prepare or draw something special, but I have something to say.
Hetalia just turned 20 years old today! What a wonderful day. Itās so strange to think how fast time flies, but at the same time itās so nice to look back and see how many live moments I went through together with all those characters and Himaruyaās art.
As I can tell itās already whole 9 years since I discovered Hetalia for the first time and fell in love with it. Many bad things happen in my life and many good things happen as well, but all this time Hetalia always was my source of inspiration and comfort. It helped me through hard times of my life even when I thought I was ready to give up, it helped me to continue living and moving forward.
Itās wonderful how a comedy manga made by one man managed to become such meaningful thing for me and, I believe, lots of other fans.
I believe that those 9 years are not just a small part of my live, but most of my conscious life. I believe that if I didnāt join this fandom or discover Hetalia at all I might not learn all those things I learned because it made me inspired to try cosplay and drawing more seriously. I can thank Hetalia for learning how to sew, knit, draw, making lots of different things and learning languages. I believe Hetalia made me a person I am now. After all for all it all started when I was still at school and for all this years I graduated from school and from college and now I am at the university!
Thatās me in 2018~2020! And me now! š„ŗ
I feel like nothing changes throughout this years, but at the same time I made such long way š¤§
And thatās my room in 2018š„ŗ so strange to see just few posters and drawings occupying just one wall
And thatās my room now!!
Now I barely have any space for new posters, haha
I have few fan projects I am going to work even harder and promote this year and I dream of making even more fan projects in future all for the love for Hetalia!
I am really happy that life let me discover Hetalia and I hope I continue moving forward with it in my life for lots and lots of years!
And I also hope that more people discover it for themselves and find same comfort and joy in it as I did and there will be even more happy moments in the future!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, HETALIA!!š
