part 353 whalers on the moon

[aphanon_meme]

We've been here over a year now! I can hardly believe it! Dreamwidth's been pretty good, I'd say, with almost no downtime to speak of and all that! Anyway... how is your spring going? Or I guess it's almost summer, isn't it? Hopefully it's been well! I've been catching up on work and new movies, all very exciting stuff, I'm sure.

Enjoy part 353!

Oh I know, but that's the thing about Hetalia; a lot of what nations do is metaphorical, and I think there's a strong case that this was one of those times. Lets say they are brothers genetically; How did two separate quasi-immortal beings that came about in different times that span hundreds of years end up genetically similar enough to constitute "brothers" on a DNA test? And why does that not apply to Denmark+Sweden as well?

As other anon said Himaruya is very inconsistant, and personally I think if he means that sibling nations are literally related he has a lot of 'splaining to do.

Maybe it's a metaphorical DNA test

like, not the genes/DNA of the people, but something... metaphorical... relating to who the place was founded by
or something

I like to think of it as the DNA of their people being closely related in a genetic population sense and that plus shared culture and language makes them as close related for countries and thus "brothers", but it doesn't literally mean they share 50% of each others DNA anymore than the average Icelander and the average Norwegian do.

But man if they literally are then I want to see the receipts on how Russia is Belarus&Ukrain's brother since Russia has so many freaking haplogroup and genetic markers because of all it's unique ethnic groups. He'd be such a genetic Mary-Sue, literally everyone's brother or cousin.
