History HetaliaAxisPowers / AToH

** Belgium is sometimes drawn with one to accompany her CatSmile.

* CanadaEh: Played straight. Canada is frequently forgotten about and mistaken for America, and says "Maple..." whenever he gets hurt.

* HighSchoolAU: The Hetalia Academy comics take place in an AlternateUniverse where the nations are all students, as does the [[UsefulNotes/PlayStationPortable PSP]] Visual Novel game.

** France and Estonia seem to get them more and more often as the series goes on.
** Italy sometimes gets them when he's [[http://www.hetarchive.net/scanlations/birz.php?ep006 talking about girls]].
** Austria gets them when France takes a photograph of them together.
** England as well while he was pretending to be an Italian. He even leaves a trail of them when Germany drags him away.

* {{Bishounen}}: Thanks to ArtEvolution, pretty much every male character is this or a {{Hunk}} now.

** During the 2011 Christmas event, Iceland had a HomoeroticDream about Turkey, and was weirded out by it.

* HomoeroticDream: Iceland [[http://www.hetarchive.net/scanlations/xmas2011/2011_12_re2.php once had a dream]] where he was flying through the air with Turkey while the latter was only wearing boxer shorts, his mask, and a Santa hat. His reaction when he woke up:
-->''"Am I completely mental to be dreaming dreams like this?"''

* CozyCatastrophe: What [[AlienInvasion the]] [[AssimilationPlot events]] of ''Paint It, White'' look like from Switzerland and Liechtenstein's perspective, which seem as though ''nothing's happening.'' Thanks in part to [[TrueNeutral Permanent Neutrality]].

* CastFullOfGay: Well, of course it's subverted in that almost nobody's sexuality is actually ''stated''. A deleted blog entry mentioned that Sweden is gay (or at least gay for Finland), and France has been confirmed to be attracted to AnythingThatMoves. But still, considering [[SituationalSexuality most of the characters are male]]...

** England and France both consider themselves gentlemen, but they are often shown otherwise, with [[ClusterFBomb foul language]] and [[AnythingThatMoves loose ways]] respectively. At one point, England looks down on America for being childish, saying that a gentleman doesn't waste time on what a little brat does. America then insults England's cooking, which leads England to call him a [[CensoredForComedy *censored*]]...

* BladeOnAStick:
** Hungary's weapon (aside from her frying pan).
** Variation: During "America Cleans Up The Storage", England and America face off with [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musket muskets]] with bayonets.
** Finland carries a spear as a baby Nation.

* DeathBySex: Mentioned in an author's note discussing American horror movies. "However, generally speaking, when you have sex, you die."

--->'''America:''' I'm happy to see you, hands! [[ADateWithRosiePalms We're gonna have so much fun!]]

* GagBoobs: Ukraine, who complains about them causing her stiff shoulders and is constantly reattaching one of the buttons on her shirt. In the anime, she even has a special sound effect for them that can be heard through doors.
-->'''Latvia:''' Is that... boobies? Is that... boobie sounds I hear?

* BareYourMidriff:
** Wy and her GenderFlip self both wear crop-tops that reveal their stomachs.
** Fem!America and her 2P counterpart wear their shirts tied beneath their breasts.
** Fem!Germany and 2P Fem!Germany wear short tank tops that almost look like sports bras.
** 2P Fem!Prussia wears a short top underneath her open jacket.

* GirlInABox: A gender-reversed version, as Germany first discovers Italy cowering in a tomato crate.

* HornyDevils: Austria, Hungary and Prussia dress as sexy devils for one Halloween.

* {{Gainaxing}}: Ukraine's GagBoobs bounce whenever she makes the slightest move.
