[discussion] Christmas event!

As Christmas fast approaches, so does the long-waited, ever-loved and cracktastic thing which is a Hetalia Christmas Event.

So, what do you expect from this event?

What will the plot be, if there is a plot at all? Will there be boundless fan service costumes like Halloween or will it be a more serious moments and drama like the bloodbath? How many sleepless nights will we have to endure before we are start having a love-fest and telling everyone “I love you guys” ext ext?

And will Romano keep his title for event king?!


I personally think that, as in the promo, you see a present falling out of the sleigh, and I think that is America’s present. He goes hell bent on getting it back. Hilarity ensues.

Or, I always like a event based on a fanfic I read about “How Prussia stole Christmas” sort of thing :D

Time travel : the Ancient Nations.
EU plot.
Monster invasion.

That's all I have.

....This will be hard since it can be as random as everyone transferred to the mochi land and Estonia become the mochi ambassador and something like find their way to go back to the real world.

Or it can be another Finland santa crisis. He never had a peaceful Christmas, huh? Poor Finland

Or It can be Prussia together with France&Spain messing up with Christmas. Personally I want an anti-BTT which consist of England, Austria and Portugal. Why? Because I love BTT so much

Or about Finland going around the world to give each nation a present. You can't spell Christmas without Finland.

OR....an open-instant request from Himaruya.

Or something else, and this has the biggest chance of all my suggestion.

I want another event king!Romano, please....
and debuts of several "new" nations

I feel like there'll be a significant amount of micronations...

But I honestly can't guess besides that.

I'm kinda hoping that Hima will introduce some new characters, even though I've been quite happy with everyone he's introduced since Hetaween.

Well, I think anything could happen because hey, we're talking about Hima sensei, right? But some things that came to mind:

- European countries will not be able to do anything too grand to celebrate Christmas because of the financial crisis. The solution is all come together and make one big party conference. The countries of other continents like the idea and decide to throw a big party with all of the continent as well. The thing becomes a contest of the best party of the year. In the end, everyone realizes that the most important thing is love and they decide to bring all parties into one. All get drunk and dance. Happy ending.

- A monster/creature from another dimension begins to attack Norway. Things could be solved with the help of the Troll, but oh no! The only thing that can defeat it is butter! Then, all the countries arrives to help, and bring lots of butter to fight the monster. In the end, it's all a plan of Norway to end the crisis of butter. Everyone makes a big party. Happy ending.

- France decides to strip all countries (how creative!). 5 new countries appear to the delight of all. Some fans die from nasal blood loss. Fanservice end.

- Mochimerica and Steve team up to annihilate the world. The world ends. Bad end.

- Whatever happens, Romano appears to save the day, Christmas and the world. All weep with joy and excitement. Epic end.

There will be a plot, but it will not make much sense XD Remember last year? It was suppose to be Christmas and turned into New Years! Lol, good times.

I think it will be a bloodbath, as it has been each year.

We will endure lots of sleepless nights (which won't please Santa at all) and after the first day, we will be crying to one another.

Romano has been king for a year! It'd be wonderful to have him keep the title, but I think it's going to get snatched this year! I think that the micro-nations will have a big role in this. And something to do with Finland having problems with the sleigh and he needs help from the other nations (not like 2009, something different).

“How Prussia stole Christmas”?!?!?!?! YES. A MILLION TIMES YES. GREAT IDEA!!! Better yet, with France and Spain! Bad Friends Trio!

[identity profile] thisisvodka.livejournal.com 2011-12-22 01:31 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm not gonna lie, I only got into Hetalia around May-June this year.... and Hetaween was my first experience of an event! <3
Just wanted to ask, why do people call it a "bloodbath"? XD I genuinely thought that some nations had died or something... OTL

(And I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought of a BTT/Grinch crossover! XD
They should kidnap Finland and take over his sleigh. ;))

Also, I'm liking boo_sagara's plot idea of Norway's butter crisis. ;P I'd actually genuinely love to see this! Haha

[identity profile] hoshiko-2000.livejournal.com 2011-12-22 01:37 pm (UTC)(link)
It's refered to as a 'bloodbath' because of the mass havoc that usually occurs XD No one dies, don't worry.

[identity profile] webcomix.livejournal.com 2011-12-22 01:40 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm very go-with-the-flow when it comes to future events (case in point: what am I going to do after undergrad? Get a master's, I suppose. And after that? NOOOO CLUE!) so I'm just going to sit back and speculate freely with everyone's ideas =D

So up for anything BFT. Love those idiots to death. DEATH, I tell you! /squeezes France's neck tightly in fangirl glee

However, I guess my predictions - rather, guesses - are that Finland/Scandinavia will take on an important, probably narrative role, there will be MUCH fanservice, hopefully Hima's recent generosity of introducing new characters will continue, and ROMANO WILL TOTALLY KEEP HIS EVENT CROWN.

I look forward to event-ing with everyone, now that there is no class! <3

OMG, that last one is the plot of a roleplay I'm doing!

"Whatever happens, Romano appears to save the day, Christmas and the world. All weep with joy and excitement. Epic end."

Approved so hard.

Ooh! I joined lj just to experience this "officially" instead of stalking from distance...

First Christmas event for me so I'd have no idea what it was like last year but if it's anything even close to Halloween event, I'll be expecting some random bashing with some signs of plot every now and then. x) Can't wait! Let's have a blast since it's holidays and nothing can stop us from staying awake. :D

Aliens return (?)

[identity profile] runts115.livejournal.com 2011-12-22 02:47 pm (UTC)(link)
I honestly can't come up with anything. BUT! I have a feeling there will be major fanservice, insanely messed up 'plot,' and lot's and lot's of good times XD
And as much as I love Romano, I think his crown might get stolen this year. Maybe by a mochi or a gun wielding N. Italy. lol! IDK!
Can't wait for the event though!!!

[identity profile] kahlanaisling.livejournal.com 2011-12-22 02:48 pm (UTC)(link)
I missed the bloodbath last year because I'm a newbie fan (hi, hello) and joined for pretty much the same reason as clueless0309. XD

If we had something based on the butter crisis, that would be seriously epic. Oh, Prussia gets inspired and goes around stealing the butter from everyone like in "How Prussia Stole Christmas"! Then the micronations have to team up to get it all back!

[identity profile] robingurl.livejournal.com 2011-12-22 02:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Kind of hoping no micro nations. I didn't understand the micronations comic at all..sorry to disappoint anyone. *shrug*

I just hope it'll be good ol' slap stick with the axis and allies!! :D haha..and maybe France trying to fly again.... :D

[identity profile] ventusbdaplayer.livejournal.com 2011-12-22 03:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Hmm. If I have to give my opinion, I say.

-Finland starts a party
-During the party, Mochimerica is all over the place, doing whatsoever stuffs Hima has made it do on his blog. OR EVEN MORE CRACK FROM IT.
-Problem rises
-Romano saves the day as usual

Ending:
Mochimerica surprises everyone with it's crap again.

THE WORLD STARTS SHAKING, BURSTING INTO HUGE CRACK.
^ Just kidding. /shot

Expecting new nations, as Himaruya seem to be on roll with the new characters :V

[identity profile] osoroshia.livejournal.com 2011-12-22 03:07 pm (UTC)(link)
As far as I can tell, it seems like a mistaken meme, actually.

In one Christmas event, there was mention of a bloodbath when Finland and Hanatamago were reading out fanmail.

So now fandom uses the term for all Christmas events, irrelevant as it sounds. xD

[identity profile] yukihiro826.livejournal.com 2011-12-22 03:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Finland Around the world~~~

Hopefully to introduce new countries~

still rooting for Vatican, Portugal, Scotland, Malta, Philippines, Mexico, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Czech and Slovakia <<<If three or five or even all of them appeared in the Christmas event~ BEST CHRISTMAS EVER!!

[identity profile] osoroshia.livejournal.com 2011-12-22 03:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Honestly, I'm worried about it.

Himaruya will be AMAZING to us like always, I'm sure. He never disappoints. Even when he's slow at updating, he makes the cutest apologies, and more than fixes everything with the epicness of the updates themselves. He's the best mangaka a fandom could hope for.


:/ But with the new LJ style, the fandom's not going to be pretty. Event posts always hit more than 5000 comments. And at that point? Captcha. It used to be mild annoyance, but mostly people joking about it instead. To be honest, I liked it. It's made to filter out spam, and that's what it does.
T__T But now we'll have to go through this with a website that can't load Captcha. So it's going to be nothing but rage, since it takes about ten or so tries to see the Captcha, on top of whatever it takes to read it.

Easy workaround is to make new posts, right? But if there's a new post made every time it hits Captcha, the mods get mad at whoever's hosting the event threads.


.__. So. Yeah.
The comic will be great, no matter what the plot is.
But unless a mod finally disables Captcha or someone makes a separate event comm without it, the event will be a disaster.

I understand what are you talking about =/
Me too, I kinda wish there will be two seperate posts where one is about spamming+fanspazzing while the other one is more about updates, event host-translators-scanlators alliance HQ. One will work with the other to keep each thread is used as its purpose. And mods....I hope our mods will be around to clear things up :

Welcome to the livejournal Hetalia family! :D This will be my first Christmas event as well.

[identity profile] kamikazemusume.livejournal.com 2011-12-22 04:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Seconding that the comic will be great no matter what, but that the event may be affected negatively by the new LJ redesign. I personally haven't heard of or experienced that Captcha issue before, but the problematic loading of images instead of keywords for some logged-in users when selecting icons can make it difficult to post comments.

[identity profile] sindragosa.livejournal.com 2011-12-22 04:22 pm (UTC)(link)
*squirms in chair* I'm so EXCITED. I had a blasty blast during Hetaween, but I've heard that the Bloodbaths are the more notorious Hetalia events.

As for what happens... heck if I know. XD I'll be able to guess better after I see the event get rolling, like during Hetaween.

What I wish would happen? Subtext. Glorious, Hima-papa induced because he KNOWS we're watching, subtext. And thighs. ♥
