My most controversial hetalia take is that I don’t like North Italy nor Gerita and I think Romano should’ve ate him in the womb and been the sole personification of Italy.
Fr Tbh i used to hate north italy too till i realized hes got severe trauma and is definitely neurodivergent and thats why he acts the way he acts like the abandonment issues needing to constantly be reassured all the time that hes not hated by others, struggle with any form of negativity like he cant bring himself to hold a grudge, and the struggle with reading social cues, taking metaphors litterally, hyper empathy, struggling to comprehend instructions, texture issues, has a fluctuating self esteem, sensory issues i cant even hate him now
Like i was rewatching the whole series and a lot of italys behavior is so unhealthy. And also A lot of the way he acts is also audhd coded as someone with audhd myself i get it.
