So, not too long ago,
cleartempest and I were like, HAY WHERE IS PORTUGAL AND NETHERLANDS AND INDIA AND MEXICO AND- so I was thinking, one of these days I'mma do some proper drawings of all of them. In my head canon, India is a woman, Mexico is a man, Portugal is also a man, but... hmmm, Netherlands? She suggested we needed a female imperialist in Hetalia, and I quite agree (well, not that we need more imperialism, but you know, moar ladies) - STFD for a sec, partiarchy.
Unfortunately, I didn't discover until I drew it but that there was a "Holland" who, I take it, is Netherlands (Holland is not the proper name!). They never exactly made an appearance (or so the sauces say), but they're described as Belgium's older brother, and apparently they are: "a very tall and strong man, who likes really young women and thinks nothing of using some types of shady drugs. He once fought with Turkey over the title of
The Tulip Country. "
And I was all, oh BOOO, THE DUTCH EMPIRE IS A MAN? I've also seen Holland/Netherlands portrayed as a man in fic cameos. But you know what, I made Holland a woman. A badass, tall, strong woman that likes really young women and thinks nothing of using some types of
shady drugs and has manry fights with Turkey about tulips.
To me, the Hetalia-verse Triple Alliance (1788) is that much more interesting to think of England, Prussia, and a female Netherlands with
Cho proportions. If I could draw, that would be her body. Giganta, Amazonian type. His stuff isn't exactly what a "real" woman looks like, but it's a far cry from scrawny little stick figures that are somehow supposed to represent female anatomy. My roommate had tons of his stuff and I just loved it - the women were
big. Not fat, but they had
muscular definition, thighs, full hips, and looked like they could kick everyone's asses
and look damn good doing it.
( Anyway, here is my 'Holland'. Crappy scan is crappy. )After my sister read this
article (which I've been showing to everyone, really) we decided to draw a comic. Japan does not approve of porn being outlawed anywhere!
( NO PORN? )
