Well, I'm not really sure how to explain this...
Today, April 2nd, it is the Day of the Veterans and Fallen of the Malvinas War, on this holiday we remember the soldiers that fought and died on said war, in 1982. Nowadays this topic is very sensitive for us argentinians and specially the ones who lost their fathers, brothers, sons and friends. It's a black day for Argentina, in fact.
Long story short: We lost the war. Great Britain still 'owns' the Falklands Islands and its goverment refuses to negotiate with Argentina about the sovereignty. However, Argentina will never give up on having a pacific solution. Damn it, we just want peace.
So abut this picture, Argentina is thinking of her little 'sister' Malvinas, she misses being with her, she misses her smile, she misses her love. On the other side, Malvinas (who prefers to be called Falklands) doesn't miss Argentina. She is happy being with England, and that makes Argentina feel
horribly sad.
I didn't want to make a too sensitive nor violent picture. Also my drawing skills don't help me too much, but I hope this little tribute is okay. Really, tell me if this is offensive.
Supongo que no es necesario que vuelva a explicar algo tan conocido por todos, así que nada más les digo el significado del dibujo.
Argentina no puede ver a Malvinas muy seguido, así que nada más le queda recordar el poco tiempo que estuvo con ella en paz. La extraña mucho, Malvi es muy importante para ella, y le duele mucho que la niña la ignore y que prefiera estar con Inglaterra. Cada dos de abril, luego de visitar el cementerio de los soldados caídos, Argentina se va sola a tomar un café en algún restaurante local de allí y se sienta a reflexionar, terminando por llorar en silencio, sin que nadie se de cuenta que la guerra le afecta más de lo que parece. No quiere perder las esperanzas que todo algún día se va a solucionar, pero la realidad es más dura de lo que ella quisiera.
Wow eso sonó profundo :/
Como ya dije antes no quise hacer algo muy fuerte o violento, además de que si quisiera mis habilidades para dibujar no son suficientes, pero espero que esto cuente como un pequeño tributo y dejar en claro que sí me importa este día y la situación que está pasando. De hecho me desespera y me da bronca, pero eso es mi opinión.
Espero que por lo menos le haya gustado el concepto, OTL.

es verdad es imposible tocar ese tema sin emocionarte
es un horrible mancha esa época que nos marco a muchas generaciones y que sigue marcando
si no habría terminado esa horrible época no habría tenido un solo recuerdo de mi abuelo, ni tendría conmigo a mi papa
I am British, and I feel our government is completely mishandling the situation (the real power in this country are rich, right wing bankers that shake their swords at the mere mention of "peaceful negotiations")
A peaceful, final referendum from the Islanders themselves and shared oil finds would be so simple in practice, but they're making a mess of it.
I don't like what my president is doing neither. She's doing everything for 'politic propaganda' to make the ignorants that follow her believe everything she's doing is good for the country, and that we are in the perfect country thanks to her. Meh, I think she's exagerating the patriotism feel she wants to give us. I don't like the fact that the british goverment is so convinced that we want to start another war because in fact, we don't. We are not prepared and we already learnt from our mistakes. Sometimes I really wish those islands just got their independence and the UK and Argentina calmed down, geez.
Most public opinion over here is that "The Islanders are British, therefore they should remain in Britain" even though we don't have any authority with governing the Islands.
All I can say is don't trust the British media on this, they like everything to be pro-UK, no matter what the story is xD
Pocas veces veo una Argentina Hetalia mujer...

A mí me gustaría que hubieran más Argentinas mujeres, ya que para mí al país le re queda ser mujer >u< y gracias otra vez <3
