The Legend of East and West

Author's Note

This is the first rewrite I've done, and to be honest, I do not know if I will ever do this

again. Though, I will point this out. The reason why this is so much longer than the original is

because of the new cast of characters that was recently added to this insane series. I do not why

I decided to include EVERYONE in this series (not including the ancient nations and Knights

Templar). To be honest, I am actually happy Hetalia is back. Yes, I know I did scream in despair

when I sat Veneziano, Germany, and Japan standing there in the promotion for season with the

author also bringing back the manga. The reason why I am so happy that this dumb comic and

hilariously, stupid anime is back because of the state of the world. The world truly felt cold,

lonely, dark, and just bleak. I was wondering if there is any hope for it at time. The pandemic hit

and caused so much pain, grief, and suffering to us as well as showing how terrible humans can

be to each other. I was closed off and hurt so much by it and the lack of conversations with my

friends from high school, that I believed there was no place for me in this world. That changed

when I did meet three lifelong friends who were fine with me being who I was and even enjoying

the nonsense that is me. It was so strange to me to have those who were fine with everything I

am. I soon found confidence in myself and then more at ease with who I am. Hetalia is a huge

reason that I found comfort and relief in myself as well. Yes, this is a stupid comic with the

dumbest plot and with a lot of people yelling at each other while also telling historical facts as

well as trying to find ways to annoy each other. I don't know many other sources of media that

would use stereotypes in a positive manner either, so there is that as well. The point is this

comic proved that anyone could exist in the same world and get along just fine. Yes, we do

get mad, sad, frustrated, happy, and all the other emotions with each other. That does not mean

that we will not have our moments, but it does mean we care about each other. I think that's the

truth that everyone is trying to prove at this moment. Right now, terrible events are happening in

the year of 2024, but I have seen people standing up and trying to do something to change the

world into a better place for everyone. That is truly wonderful. I know for a fact that the world

will not be in a peaceful state in my life. I think most of us have come to that conclusion.

That does not mean we should give up on it completely. There is so much the world can offer

and do. The world is still here and as long as we are here, we will create a world for everyone.
