Who's your favorite IRL country? What about your favorite Hetalia country? Are they the same? Did you like a Hetalia character and then later their country?
IRL:
-Britain (it's always interested me ever since I was a kid, plus I love the accents, plus-plus it's a good part of my heritage)
-Japan (because anime and my favorite games come from there, and they always come up with the really cool technology; plus the history and folklore are fascinating)
-Ireland (another part of my heritage, and the language is beautiful)
-Germany (yet another part of my heritage, and it's just plain interesting)
-Australia (aka the most terrifying place on Earth; I would have died by the time I was 2 if I lived there, because I was always running around catching everything that moved)
-Russia (moreso the language than anything else, but that's because everything I know about the country can be summed up in
a movie and
a song)
-the USA (because that's my country
talk2hand )
Hetalia:
-England (he's my favorite character, 'nuff said)
-Italy (it's kind of funny, because I couldn't stand him until Heta Oni, where he was my favorite character. Now, instead of incredibly annoying, his antics strike me as somewhat bittersweet because I can't shake the impression Heta Oni left on me)
-Russia (I'd probably be just as terrified of him as everyone else if I met him IRL, but I still want to give him a hug)
-Sweden (He might look scary but he's a teddy bear
xd )
-France (Why do I always like the Handsome Lech/Chivalrous Pervert tropes
gonk )
-Germany (I'd actually be even more terrified of him than of Russia--strict people scare me--but he's awesome, and when he drops his guard he's adorable)
-Male!Belarus (because he's usually not as scary as regular Belarus)
-Romano (He's so angry and loud all the time, but he's hilarious)
-China (Though I'm not sure exactly why)
I could make that list a mile long since I have moments where I love just about every character, but these are the ones I love the most.
