How Are Hetalian Ships Born?
(Hetalia OC Week Day 1: Origins)
@hetalia-oc-week-2024 Some may theorize that the places make up the world of Hetalia (or the Hetalia pairings) are manifested through the fandom's love. Though I took a more interesting approach...
Rather than birth, they are sprouted from the ground up.
I made this brief chart in 2020 and I have still yet to update it, but it still remains true to what I've established.
It is unknown what causes them to sprout from the ground, but I can theorize that it is most likely caused by a significant historical event, specifically a Hetalian's independence, gaining of new territory, the foundation or unity of two different territories, etc.
With these sprouts, an infant emerges representing the pairing itself and specific flowers. Here's an example.
This is newborn GerIta, notice the flowers surrounding her. The small greenish white ones are strawberry flowers and the blue ones are cornflowers. This is to reflect the national flower of Italy and Germany.
