argh... dilemma.....

since i have a FUCK ton of hetalia ocs from different parts of the world, i'm thinking of not being active in my separate blogs anymore and posting asks of them here instead.

at least all things oc-related will be put here instead of making more blogs that'd end up overwhelming me... but what should i do once they get abandoned? those separate blogs would end up being archive blogs where posts from here will be rebogged there!

i'm still not sure about this decision yet, but in case i do that, here's the tags guide for some of my ocs!

#espanitalia/boss and friends - spanish autonomous regions

#umitalia/stars of the pacific - pacific islands/oceania

#nordtalia/cozy arctic - extra nordics

Guam! Are you ready for Chammoru History and Heritage Month?!

this is probably the first name reveal i've made out of all the islanders for this blog, and the opportunity was there since guam's human name, "inina", means a glimmer/intermittent light. "glimmer of guahan" my ass girl you became a whole fucking flashlight atp LMFAOOO

but either way, happy chamorro history + heritage month to all chamorros reading this! sendin much love from a filipino <3

Say everyone is at a restaurant and then the check comes. Who is the island that everyone makes pay because they’re the richest?

palau has the 3rd largest gdp per capita next to australia and new zealand, but it looks like guam has the highest gdp per capita out of the pacific.
