ok. ok but. ok but betty right. right??

she was devoting her fucking life to curing simon because simon was all she had. almost all she WAS. he was the only thing in ooo she could cling to (because she'd always clung to simon, and simon had always clung to her) and she held on for dear life through the trials + tribulations she faced in ooo, through the hell that magical induced madness is on the brain, through the end of the world. betty needed simon back because betty needed simon to be whole.

but also. but also-

can you imagine the fucking guilt she must have felt. can you imagine?? the last conversation she had with simon SANE was when he was dying in her fucking arms asking for death. telling her that he can't do it, it can't be fixed and he doesn't want to Live like That anymore. And betty was so determined to keep him alive she put the curse back onto him- of course she'd want to fix that.

and it brings to mind the lesson she learned in Temple of Mars, because it was there that betty realized that she had carved out such a space for simon in her life she forgot to leave room for herself. and she admits as such. And I think now that maybe Betty did learn that lesson. Yeah, she should've had more time for herself, she should've had more Betty in her own story.

And then there's the contrast- because saving your cursed fiancé is just. it's not on the same level. it's just not the same as not following through on a trip you planned. like. I think that's the reason why Betty doubled down on saving Simon.

because letting go of simon isn't about giving her more time for herself. Letting go of Simon isn't giving herself relief, it's just admitting defeat. It's letting their last real conversation be Simon begging for death in her arms, it's letting her last interaction with the man she once knew be turned back into the ice king even though that's something he desperately did not want.

betty needed simon to be Betty but she also couldn't go back on her word and let simon down. not when the last thing he did was beg.

so... we were interested in my headcanon sometimes italy says dumb things as a joke and he's not actually serious? that he's just being playful and either doesn't realize or doesn't care that people think he's actually stupid? that maybe he likes getting a reaction out of people but also it keeps him entertained as well? well, here are some references i found from canon i feel support this headcanon.

(obviously canon is up to interpretation. this is just my interpretation of it <3 i might do an actual analysis on this later but for now, nah.)

this is from the translation of the gakuen hetalia cds. the last line here is the particular focus. he obviously does not think the statue is a woman who wants to date him 😭 also he's seemingly playing a prank with the sword to begin with, so i wouldn't take anything he says seriously.

also from the gakuen hetalia cds! prior to the part i've screenshotted, they're all talking about the panda in china's backpack. do you really think italy would not know what a cat looks like? do you really think he'd think a "triangle-eared, long-tailed" panda is a thing? i think he's just being silly and appeasing china here. especially when he repeats himself and germany corrects him a second time.

second panel. to me, this feels very playful. like he's considering the idea loosely and doesn't actually believe someone would do it. (it immediately cuts to america eating deep-fried butter. that's the joke.)

this one should explain itself lol. "excuses aside" yeah ok we know you're just being silly. poor germany doesn't get it.

self explanatory. he makes a joke then backtracks once his boss asks if he's serious lol

second panel. you cannot tell me this is an honest attempt at being manipulative. i see this as italy being playfully obvious with the intention of perhaps nudging his boss in the direction of what he wants from him (which is free lunch in this case). just very NOT subtle hint dropping in hopes it'll come off as charming.

this entire strip! italy is clearly being silly and then when germany takes him seriously... he's a little horrified

ok i'm tired of finding references but i hope u all see what is in my head <3
