Line 105:
*** Could be [[Justified Trope|justified]] if you take in account that [http://www.reshafim.org.il/ad/egypt/timelines/topics/hair.htm ancient Egyptians use to wear wigs.]
*** Personality-wise, fans tend to depict him as a [[The Quiet One|wise and world-weary]] [[Mentor]]. Specially if he interacts with Greece.
** Bulgaria - doubles as [[OC Stand
*** Which has actually been [[Jossed]] after ''[[Hetaween 2011]]'' and the 2011 Bloodbath, where he's depicted as a softspoken [[Nice Guy]].
** Ukraine (like Canada) is sometimes depicted as a [[Silk Hiding Steel]] due to her country's history with the [[wikipedia:Cossacks#Name|Cossacks]]. Added to being hinted as a [[:Category:Yandere|Yandere]].
Line 188:
** Turkey might not have the most agreeable of personalities or the best of relations with Greece or Hungary, but some fanworks turn him into a complete asshole who will [[Smug Snake|smirkingly]] [[Manipulative Bastard|manipulate]], [[Domestic Abuser|abuse]], and even [[Rape as Drama|rape]] others solely to "put them in their place", whether because these fanwriters love [[The Masochism Tango]] of Turkey/Greece or Turkey/Hungary or are enamored of the idea of Turkey as a [[Bastard Boyfriend]] with a [[White Mask of Doom]].
* [[The Scrappy]]: While not as open as in Korea's case, you can bet that in a poll about disliked characters Sealand will have a "top" spot.
** [[Rescued
** Due to being a micronation and not a real country, as well as some fans not liking her bratty personality, Wy's debut quickly earned her this position along with some accusations of being part of a [[Spotlight-Stealing Squad]].
** No discussion of [[The Scrappy]] would be complete without Korea, who was raked over the coals by fans disgruntled about the Korean [[Moral Guardians]] forcing the cancellation of the Hetalia anime's TV broadcast. Fortunately, this seems to have all but died down with the passage of time; nowadays it's a lot more common for fans to lament that Korea ''isn't'' in the anime instead.
** Or Japan, who was ''hated'' by people who called him a [[Misplaced Nationalism]]-fueled [[Canon Sue]] that would [[Ruined FOREVER|ruin the anime FOREVER]] after every episode he appeared in. Or took personal offense about him being as beloved in Japanese fandom [[Hypocritical Fandom|as Canada was in Western fandom]]. Or claimed that him not being depicted as a [[Complete Monster]] or his [[Imperial Japan]] atrocities not being portrayed in graphic detail in a series focused on the light-hearted side of history meant that Himaruya was "trivializing" history. It was mainly limited to a [[Vocal Minority]], but they kept on finding the stupidest reasons to bash him; there was even a post on the Hetalia comm that bashed Japan as a "shojo harem manga heroine" to promote ''Turkey/Poland'' of all things. Fortunately, like with Korea, the hate has [[Rescued
* [[Second Love]]: Arguably for [[Fanon|some fans]], what [[Tsundere|Norway]] is to [[Love Martyr|Sweden]] [[Napoleonic Wars|after the Napoleonic Wars,]] [[Arranged Marriage|leading up to their third personal union.]] Although the union is sometimes interpreted as either [[A Match Made in Stockholm]] (technically Moss, Norway) or [[No Accounting for Taste]]. Keep in mind, however, that Sweden is still consistently shown with Finland more often than anyone else in the modern day strips, making this one pure [[Fanon]] speculation.
** A more canon-supported example is Germany for Italy, who used to be in love with the Holy Roman Empire. To make things even more interesting, there are hints that {{spoiler|Germany and the Holy Roman Empire may actually be the same person}}.
Line 237:
*** On the other hand, it has also led to some of his fangirls missing the point and [[Ron the Death Eater|ferociously bashing North Italy because of this]] while painting Romano [[Purity Sue|as a flawless angel]], when in canon North Italy cares for his brother and tries to help him but gets shot down more than once. Considering Romano's [[Hair-Trigger Temper]] and [[Perpetual Frowner]] traits, he's more of a [[Jerkass Woobie]]: very sympathetic, yeah, but [[Not So Above It All]].
** Why don't we just say that ''everyone'' is a woobie at some point?
* [[Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds|Woobie Conqueror of Worlds]]: Russia, by insisting that "all will become one with Russia". This trope is also played totally straight with him during the Bloody Sunday strip, in which [[Go Mad
* [[Woolseyism]]: The dub constantly swings between this and [[Gag Dub]].
