congratulations on the 200 followers! I'm also a big fan of giripan! Actually it is my firsy ship with Japan was with Greece, both of them so cute together and the love of the cats!!! damnnn!!!! also pretty cute art!! btw, do you like DJs? many years ago I read one called WHITE WALLS, pretty good and kind of smutty lol anyways! again congrats on the 200 followers!!! uwu

//Hi! Thank you so much for the support! It always warms my heart to know that this blog and the ship are well received by fans! I personally fell in love with giripan right after their first interaction (I started with the anime, then read the manga, and then the online blog)! It is a cute pairing and their dynamics can be cute but also nasty. It is a comfortable thing to come upon, I think. Also, a few years ago, I indeed read that doujinshi! I found it cute and, as you said, quite smutty, but in a cute way (at least, cuter than other DJs I read at the time) XD Sometimes, I feel like some DJ are hardcore for me, but that one truly was cute! I still think it is one of my favourites out there! Unfortunately, I don’t think there are many giripan DJ, actually. That’s a pity, but the more reason to appreciate what we can get, right? ;-;/ Anyway, again, thank you and everyone for the support and for your appreciation! I hope giripan will always have a tiny place in your hearts to warm them up ;) P.s.: This background was inspired by a photo of Kyoto streets. You can find it here.

G: Unfortunately, he was not as eager as I was to try those positions... Still, I like to help him as much as I can with it. High blood pressure is not healthy and disrupts sleeping schedule...

//I just wanted to thank all of you for your support! Every time I see someone new approaching and appreciating this small blog of mine, I feel happy and fulfilled! It always feels like this ship is somehow underrated or ignored, but your support always shows me otherwise! I hope you will all stay tuned for new updates and more fun, as we “build” this blog together! (Now exams are coming, so maybe updating will take longer, but do not worry: I’ll be more than happy to answer your questions in the ask box as soon as possible!) Again, thank you for showing your appreciation! I will do my best to keep up and...what else to say? Keep following your tastes and likings about anything you like! Don’t know if that makes sense, but I hope it will ;-;/ Thank you all for 200 followers!

//What a great Eurovision was this one!! I personally loved Italy’s and Ukraine’s performers, but I couldn’t go without doing something about Greece! Honestly, I found the concept of the green screen dancers funny and endearing at the same time! In the first panel, Japan refers to this:  https://hetalia.livejournal.com/10918531.html I couldn’t find the post on hetarchive, but I hope you guys will be luckier than me if you want to search for it!

// I found this myth very interesting, and for this one I used the version of the legend according to the “Nihon Shoki” (here is the story: https://www.britannica.com/topic/Ukemochi-no-Kami)  (in other versions, like the one by the “Kojiki”, it was god Susanoo who killed Ukemochi no Kami). I used as references for the design some pictures I found here (https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Tsukuyomi-no-Mikoto), but it would have been better to find something more precise for me ;-; (if you guys have suggestions for the future on where to find pictures as reference for japanese folklore, I would love to hear about it from you! Thank you for the help ;-; !). Also, the author Himaruya actually gave a first idea of what Greece thought about japanese gods. You can read it here, if you are curious: https://hetarchive.net/grc/

G: Hm...Yes, we do... I like it, it feels warm and endearing...

//I always thought the cross that the author Himaruya drew in Greece designs was really cool, and tried to imitate it, but sadly I was not able to find out exactly which cross that one was. Here is an example of said cross: https://hetarchive.net/gr/ Also, the hospital was a reference to an hospital constructed in Instanbul in 2019. I could only find a couple of articles about it, so I only used it as a reference for the punch-line, nothing more, nothing less. You can read here about it, if you are curious: https://asia.nikkei.com/Business/Health-Care/Turkey-opens-Japan-funded-hospital-as-virus-spreads As always, forgive me for my bad english ;-;

J: I...usually try that only a few times (////). Calling him by his other name still feels kind of strange to me. But I like his name, it kind of sounds cute but also powerful. G: I like to try calling him by his human name. I would like to learn how to write its kanji...hm...and, also, I love when he calls me by “Herakles”*...it feels more, no, a lot more intimate, doesn’t it? // *I used the “k” in “Herakles”, trying to follow the greek transliteration (from  Ἡρακλῆς ). If I’m not mistaken, in the original work from Himaruya it is written “Heracles” with “c”, but for this one I liked the “k” one better.

//After the new hetalia episode, I was pumped up! So I tried to finish this one! Hope you all are being able to enjoy the new episodes as well! I’m slowly but surely getting started. Hope you all are feeling good and will enjoy my posts as well! See you soon ;)

//Since I did not know until recently that their pairing name was “Nekonbi” (or “Cat combo”), I thought I could try to do a cute profile picture about it (?). Hope they don’t look too derp ahahah (animals can be quite difficult to draw)!

//Hello, everyone! It has been a while! A lot of things happened and years passed, and I have always been sorry for not keeping up with this little blog of mine. But I think it is still something I would like to do, possibly with some more energy! I still have questions from you guys that I would love to answer, and I am quite sure this blog might need some re-stiling to go through (in these years, I think I changed my drawing style quite a bit) ;) I made this small comic to start again, possibly with more perseverance. I will be busy, sometimes even slow to answer all the questions throughoutly (?). But I hope you will still have fun and enjoy this pairing as much as I do! So, without further ado...let’s try this once gain! (and, years may have passed, but my english is just as bad ahahahah) //

((I’m sorry, I hope you can read it.... just to be sure, in the last panel Greece says “...Hang out, just the two of us” . I’m sorry, I did it in a rush but I hope you liked it. And thank you very much, I really appreciate the support  çwç <3  )) J: People, don’t get the wrong idea, please.  G: Mh...But I would like to do also some other things with you, like-- J: O-ok, let’s just go to the party, Greece-san! G: *sighs*

02/11/16 Well, I couldn’t miss Japan’s birthday, so here is a drawing made without the graphics tablet, because I don’t have one right now (yuppie yeah!! D: ). Of course the gift from Greece would be a cat (because I don’t have any imagination left coff coff)! ;3 Ok, I guess that’s all for now :) Happy birthday Japan!!

[giripan-askblog]

Woah, I’m sorry for not checking out the blog so often, nor answering to the questions, but lately I’m getting quite busy becouse school is going to start soon, so I probably won’t be able to answer that much. I’m so sorry, really! Please have mercy TwT I hope you will continue to watch the blog even if I will be quite absent! I’m sorry, but that’s it! Thank you guys ;_;

eAHHH THANKYOUTHANK YOU OH MY LORD YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW LONG I'VE WAITED FOR SOMETHING LIKE THIS THAKNK YOU THIS SHIP IS SO PAINFULLY UNDERRATED

((It’s kinda frustrating when you see that your otp is not considered… I mean, someone could find Giripan a crack pairing; but I personally think that if we consider them a crack just becouse they might not have as much references or reasons to be shipped as other pairings, then we should stop shipping anyone with anyone. Everyone is free to ship everything, and I think this ship needs to be more appreciated, becouse it’s lovely! I’m sorry it looks like I’m furious, but I’m just trying to speak my mind about this cute and underrated pairing TwTThank you very much for the support! I really appreciate it!! <3 <3  ))

[giripan-askblog]

G: I’d rather say he’s both. <3 ((* I knew they’d have suited you.......  I’m sorry for my bad english çwç ))

[giripan-askblog]

J: Maybe going to a Neko Cafè would be nice... G:... Yeah, it surely would be nice... But it would be nice anywhere, as long as I’m with Japan.
