I received a bunch of new asks today and ya'll really got me thinking🫡

(WILL BE ANSWERING IN A FEW, I SWEARR)

[hwsasiapacific]

(back to school special?)

if it's not too much of a bother, is it okay if you make classmate headcanons for Melati? (I agree with u, I also find her name cute)

✨MELATI✨🤧🤌

Nyo! Indonesia:

I feel like she doesn't have the brightest eyes, so as much as she wants to sit at the back of the class - she knows she JUST CAN't

Seems quiet at first, keeps her hands to herself

The next day you'd be walking together with arms locked in the canteen

A walking stationary supplier 🙈

AND SOMETIMES GIVES IT AWAY (esp the correction tapes-)

CAN LITERALLY RUN A WHOLE PROFITABLE BUSINESS OUT OF HER PENCIL CASE

doesn't wanna tho

Lowkey doesn't take notes-

Super chill while studying, like exams aren’t even real to her.

SHE THRIVES DURING RECESS. LIKE IT'S HER TIME, NOT YOURS. BUT HERS.

Packs instant noodle cups with a little thermos and everything

Feeds her friends with it??? Yeah, she's also a walking cafeteria

sneaks in snacks during school programs

shares it too. every. single. time.

SHE'S A GIVERRRRRRR

but a lil socially awkward

you'll love her either way🎀

ALSO HAVE A GREAT SCHOOL YEAR BAEEE

rooting for yaaaxoxo

Can u pls tell what India would do in a human au?

Coming right upp🩵

(~Credits to Hima)

India:

Most likely a high school math teacher

Students LOVE him more than his subject (I know I would too)

He loves them toooo

Treats them like they're his kids

Teaches math in a way students understand, he likes to simplify complicated stuff

BUT. HERE'S. THE. LORE.

He always wanted to step in the big screen

Acting was the dream. Teaching was plan B

Back then, he already had it all mapped out. He was supposed to take BA Fine Arts

But it was he thought it was 'unpractical'; he wasn't sure whether it would be stable enough to give him good money (consistently)

So he chose practicality over passion

But when he's not in school, he writes the dub captions for international films

(it's his little way of staying close to the cinemaa. no one knows except for his closest friends-)

A literature nerd fr

But numbers were his greatest love (although acting was his first-)

He loves and is happy with what he does rn

But he swears in another life, he knows he'd be acting

LET ME KNOW IF YA'LL WANT MORE

Random thought🥹

I know this isn't much of an Asian cast content but like... I feel like Spain gave out cross necklaces to his former colonies before-

AND SOME KEPT IT AND SOME PROBABLY EVEN BURIED IT

((based this off the fact that Christianity became Spain's 'objective' to colonize before. So like cross necklaces were probably his little thing to say that))

~Brie💌

[hwsasiapacific]

I'm back from the graveyard nowww🥹💝

No pressure, but I noticed you haven't been active much lately. I hope everything is okay

Sorry for being inactivee🥲🥲

I tried to keep posting here and there but aaa things are a little busy latelyy. But I promise you I'll keep on uploading!! I have a couple of asks in my inbox that I will answer if I get the time (still, feel free to send me some moree). I also just recently dropped my first fic on ao3 if you want to check it out (I'll also send the link here later on)

That's all:). Stay safe, loveyaa🩵

[hwsasiapacific]

Randomly saw this on my feed

Love how people didn't even realize this was hetalia

[hwsasiapacific]

Hello! Can you please please please give your take on the nyotalia names for the Asian cast?

Of course🩵🩵

(~ These names are based off my personal preferences. But if I got some info wrong, please do correct mee. Credits to Hima)

China: Wang Chun-yan (Western style: Wang Chun-yan)

Chinese: spring; simple; clean (Chun) + beautiful; swallow (Yan)

Very agreed upon across the fandomm

I like it tooo

Japan: Honda Sakura (Western order: Sakura Honda)

Japanese: cherry blossom

Again, very much aligned with the fandommm

Idk if this has been said beforee but I'm in love with how Sakura parallels Kiku which means 'Chrysanthemum'

Flower duo🥹🥹

Korea: Im Chae-yi (Western order: Chae-yi Im)

Korean: colorful (Chae) + harmony (Yi)

It's such a cute name don't you thinkk

Taiwan: Lin Junjie (Western order: Junjie Lin)

Chinese: outstanding talent/ talented; handsome (Jun) + handsome (Jie)

It's a common name in Taiwan as far as I have read:))

I FEEL LIKE IT SUITS HIM

Hong Kong: Wong Rhea (Western order: Rhea Wong)

Greek: flowing; fertility

I wanted a name that's short but gives off 'cool energy' iykyk

'Rhea' kind of gives chic and street-style feel

Macau: Chan Adelina (Western order: Adelina Chan)

Portuguese: noble (it also means the same in various languages like Spanish and Italian)

I read that in Macau some name their kids in Portuguese names, so I kind of based it off of that-

And the fact that this one means 'noble' is giving a sophisticated aurahwiahs

Vietnam: Nguyen Quang Minh (Western order: Minh Quang Nguyen)

Vietnamese: bright; intelligent (Minh), pure; light (Quang)

He's giving me serious and organized first impression vibes

Philippines: Beatrice Cordero

Latin: 'she who brings joy'; blessed one

MOST DEFINITELY goes by 'Bea' 99% of the time (probs first got called like that during American period and rolled with it)

Thinks 'Beatrice' is too formal🙃

Indonesia: Melati Saraswati

Sanskrit: jasmine flower

I thought it'd be cute if she was named after the national flower of Indonesia

At first I was supposed to pair it with her male counterpart's surname 'Setiawan' but it turns out that's a more masculine leaning surnamee. So I chose Saraswati (Sanskrit: flow of water) insteadd

Malaysia: Samirah Tan

Arabic: entertaining companion; evening conversationalist

I thought she'd be a fun person to talk to:)

Her friends calls her 'Sam'

Singapore: Aliyah Tan

Hebrew: rising; ascending

The og name was 'Scarlet' (French: red) then became 'Sienna' (French: reddish-brown)

((You could say I like red on her))

I just reallyy want to parallel her name with 'Samirah' (like what I did with Adrian and Aidan) but the S names I found didn't match her energy. So I decided to make their names rhyme instead

Thailand: Chantana Anantasuk

Thai: thoughtful

Her name is so pretty

THE CHANGE OF SURNAME IS AN APOLOGY😭🙏

Just read that Ananda (Sanskrit: bliss) was more of a given name rather than a surname in Thailand😭😭. And I literally wrote 'Ekkarat Ananda' in my earlier post as Thailand's human name- to make up for that I replaced it with 'Anantasuk' (Thai: infinite happiness) 🥹

India: Ruhi Rai

Sanskrit: soulful; spiritual

I looove alliterated names

Alsoo since her male counterpart's described to have a like a prince-y aura I gave her the surname Rai (king;noble)

AAAND THAT'S ALL FOR TODAYY, MISSED YA'LL

[hwsasiapacific]

I know you usually do everyone, or a group in each post... but I'm just kind of wondering at this one,, because I'm super curious about WHAT IF Taiwan and Vietnam aren't countries? Like what would they be doing...?

IT'S OKAYY DWW, also this is actually super cute!!

(~Credits to Himaa)

Vietnam

Opened a small local coffee shop near universities a few years agoo

Of course it serves traditional Vietnamese coffee flavors and sweets as a mainstream menu

But international delicacies are also present here and there!!

The prices are very student friendly

She knows how hard being a student is ((she lived off of coffee when she was studying too you know)) so this is kind of her showing her support

Her coffee shop most likely doesn't have the trendiest decor like the others dooo, it's just a simple and quiet space where students can study

Opening hours start at 12PM until the break of dawn, which is perfect for night owls (I lowkey headcanon she's a night owl herself-)

Student whose dorms are near her shop often drop by for a quick snack with their friends, so it's kind of like a hang out place tooo

Which is fine as long as they're not too loud especially when others are studying

The shop's usually PACKED during finals week

Taiwan:

As a fashion-forward person, she's that influencer who does those face/body analysis quizzes online

And then will give you tips on which clothes work on your body type the best ('if you're a rectangle girlie these tops are definitely for you!' )

Also usually posts about make-up tips and grwm's ('Get ready with me to eat in this new restaurant with my friend')

Sometimes uploads uplifting messages and mindset shift videos

Drops those 'what I learned from [something-] and why you shouldn't do it too' kind of stuff

Quite open about her personal life and lowkey serves boiling hot tea online

She also often does cute (and hopefully easy) hair tutorials

Totally recommends beauty and skincare products that worked for her

Most definitely uploads the trendiest and cutest stuff and where to buy them ('Guys, let me tell you where I got this cute bag')

Overall a very positive content creator!!

Love these two smm

[hwsasiapacific]

Can u pls tell me ur head anon age for all the Asians?(it is very confusing-like,some people hc India to be old while in canon China is the oldest-the ONLY Ancient left)

AAAAAAAAA I'M FINALLY BACK😭SORRY IT TOOK ME THIS LONG TO ANSWER I WAS SO BUSYAHHEHWHA

(~AS ALWAYSS if ever I made any mistakes on my headcanons, kindly let me know. Credits to Hima)

Also, I'm also gonna try to estimate their human or like physical ages, tooo (these are just my headcanons thoo)

China: Yes, defo the oldest!! He's very much stated to be about 4,000 years old and probably has been around at the same time as the other ancient nations. And bcs of that, I can see him to be around physically in his early thirties at most. Physically thirty with a baby face.

India: Yeahh he's old tooo, but not 'ancient old' thoo. The Indus Valley civilization from 3300 BCE is a great way to anchor India's 'oldness' but a more unified Indian cultural persona came around later on, which was like about 2,000-3,000 years agoo (this reallyy solidified his persona). And I bet he's physically around his late twenties to early thirties.

Japan: Another oldie but a younger oldie!! About 2,000 years old, making him younger that the previous two. Which would make sense since he was in a chibi form when he first met China. Physically tho, I can sense mid-twenties energy from him:)

Korea: VERY VERY long dynastic history, but in doing human ages I always consider the national idenityy. That makes Korea probably around 1,500-1,700 years old. He's canonically 15-16, but if you don't mind, I see him in the range of 18/19/20 human years.

Macau: His history is rlly interesting, I'll tell you that. As someone younger, WAYY younger than the mainland, I'd say he's probably 400-500 years old. His identity really solidified during the 16th century when he became a Portuguese trading hub. And for his physical age...can he be twenty...?

Indonesia: Yess around 1,500-2,000 years old (from Srivijaya, Majapahit, and older cultural lines)!! For his physical age, 19-20 age range seems fitting right:')

Malaysia: Let's say he's 'born' around the Srivijaya eraa, that makes him around 1,400 years old. And his profile states that he could be an adult, so maybe around 18-19 physically.

Philippines: I'm counting the Butuan/Tondo civilization heree, that makes him around 1,100-1,200 years old. Physical wise, I've always seen him to be in the same age range as Malaysiaa, so 18-19 it is!!

Taiwan: While Austronesian settlement emerged in Taiwan 6,000 years ago. However, if we anchor Taiwan's colonial period to be our starting point, that will make her about 400 years old. Physically, however, I agree with the usual portrayal of her being 17:))

Singapore: I think I've already mentioned Temasek (a modest fishing port that Stamford Raffles later on renames as Singapore) before in my older posts, so I wanted to mention it here again. And Temasek is from the 1300's, making Singapore about 700 years old. And physically, I bet he's probably the same human age as Taiwan, so 17

Hong Kong: It's canon that HK is not a 'baby' under the British reign, in fact by the looks of it, I estimate him to be in his teenage years physically. However, it's also official (I think...) that he grew up under China. STILL, it's only historically accurate to say that he's about 200 years old today, counting from the 1800's. Physically, I just really do see him as physically the youngest of the bunch- So, he's 16-17 in my hccc

Thailand: If I'm counting the Dvaravati and the old Tai migrations, that would make him around 2,000 years old!! Physically, I think I read it somewhere that he's about 21-22 and ran with it.

Vietnam: LAST BUT NOT THE LEASTT!! In my headcanon, Viet was a part and emerged from the Hồng Bàng era, making her 3,000 years old (legendary). For her physical age, I can see her as someone in her 20s. Probably like 22/23 or so.

There's actually so so much more lore to uncover, this post is just an overview of it

BUT if you guys do want to see more content like this, my inbox is always open!!
