bamboothicket is still me, I was too lazy to log out of the blog mirror lol. I still don't mind if people see America (the character) as kinda chubby, just because of how much Hima points out America (the nation as a whole) as overweight. It's possible to be both muscular and have a bit of fat, but it's ok to have him just muscular too.

I had read through your headcanons a while back and some of them do go against canon, so I was really confused why you were fighting this so hard, lol.

I really try not to go against canon. That is actually a pet peeve of mine. If I did. I was likely very tired when I wrote it or did no read/see the strip that contradicts it. Off the top of my head without going though them all trying to figure out which ones you are referring to. The only one I can think of is the horror movie one. Basically saying Alfred is not really afraid of horror movies. He just uses it as an excuse to cuddle etc. I based it off the time he watched the ghost documentary with Kiku and completely freaked out. But then when all the countries did their horror movie marathon Alfred barely broke a sweat. He got nervous in one scene I think but other than that ... nothing.

If that if not what you are referring to, then without a reference or post number I could not tell you how or why I wrote it. They are usually based on something I have noticed or randomly make up if I have not seen anything about it. If it is blatantly going against canon I would gladly remove it. I just write them for fun.

Sorry about that. I really am.

No need to apologize! I've read through everything over the past 5-6 years and it's hard to remember all the details. I RP Romano a lot, and I try to be accurate, but I might forget something here or there. ( =3=)a

I think the one thing that seemed really off to me was the headcanon that Canada would pretend to be America out of envy. It's stated pretty solidly that Canada hates being mistaken for America. http://www.hetarchive.net/characters.php?canada

I can see where you are coming from on the movie thing, but I always interpreted it as America likes the thrill of the movies scaring him, because he obviously doesn't refuse to watch them. lol That's just my opinion though. XD In my own experience, I didn't like horror movies, but [livejournal.com profile] pbjsammich made me watch so many I've grown more tolerant of them. We experiment with foreign films too. Actually, the Canadian movie "The Cube" was referenced in the anime adaption of "Hetalia of the Dead" (it's the room Canada is pictured in), and when we watched the actual movie, I had to walk out, it made me feel too anxious, lol. Way to go, Canada.

The Canada headcanon. I agree. I think i really wrote that one to be funny. But you are right. That would be really against canon. I was looking at it from a jealous sibling point of view. Not saying either have anything to be jealous over the other but sometime you just want to be different. I will delete it if I can find it.

As as far as the Cube omg that was a very messed up movie. I am surprised I was able to make it through it. They came out with a sequel called Cube 2: Hypercube. But after the first one I was not about the watch one that was worse LoL

I was familiar with the actor who played the first guy who died from a Canadian comedy show, so I was excited to see him in a serious acting role, and then he died that way and I was like "owo;;; bye" lol Sam watched the whole thing and explained it to me later. I had no idea there was a sequel lol.

Someday I shall (hopefully) compile a list of movies Himaruya has referenced. I still need to watch Rare Exports...

Here is an old horror movie I recommend. Screamers. It is excellent!
