This time, let's talk about drama- and geek out history

This is a mere fandom pondering. Mere, I say.

I'll make this short, just enough for me to vent out my dorky love for the Holy Roman Empire/Italia shipping, because it's just heart-wrenching like that. &hearts

So, most fan speculations are rooting for 'HRE = Amnesic!Germany' theory, which has yet to be proven by Hidekaz-sensei himself in the strips. Although I'd very much like to believe it as much as a fangirl would- no, that would be being biased, isn't it. However, technically AND historically speaking, during the dissolution of the Holy Roman Empire, the German states were formed (oh wait, there's still the Confederation of Rhine prior to that) and all that, and then after a few more struggles- boom! Came the present-day Germany. Or sort of. With history, one can never be too certain. The fact that today's Germany, or at least a quarter of its land, was once a land belonging to the HRE's territory. So basically, HRE = Young!Germany, Amnesic!Germany- take whichever fancies your taste, as long as there's a 'Germany' in there. (Argh, almost the same goes for the awesomeness that's known as the Prussian Empire- Germany, you've been through a lot.)

This. This is one of the reasons why the Hetalia fandom reeks too much of awesomeness. Because it pains. I do hope that HRE/Chibitalia = Germany/Italy, due to the fact that it would be simply more tragic that way. Ah, beauty.
