Himayura Head-canons and sketches

Okay so Hima was answering questions on his blog and I found the translated bits.


>Among the countries, there are characters who wear glasses and characters who don’t. Do you decide who wears them and who doesn’t based on your inspiration?

There are countries where the glasses were completely by my inspiration and countries where the glasses have a meaning.

America becomes a hero when he takes them off, so it’s a prop to show you he’s normally disguising his power (the trope you see a lot in American cartoons where a boring glasses-wearer has a hidden identity of a superhero. America himself feels like a hero even when he’s wearing them though) and they also have a meaning as part of his land.

Austria’s glasses are music. He looks a bit plain when he takes them off, so he doesn’t do it very often.

Estonia has a lot in his mind, so the glasses play a role in concealing his facial expressions.
