hetalia | [news] ANIME DECIDED

This is as terrifying as it is exciting. Terrifying because, well, Hetalia's content is the sort of thing I'd never imagine animated (WWII? International politics? Made into a CAW-TOON?) but on the other hand, I want to see how this plays out. VERY much!

Thanks youkofujima for keeping us posted on the news. *_* Not only do you deliver some sweet art, but you translate things for us.

I'm so excited and nervous at the same time about
-which director it's going to be, since it's Studio Deen
-how they'll format this and how much they'll change, considering how much WAS taken out of the books
-THE RECEPTION OH MY GOD

Thank you^^ Just doing my job as a ...contributing and sometimes annoyingly spammy mod? XD;

Ahaha. Oh, it's going to be hilarious, that's for sure! Hetalia has such potential to offend people. I hope they just go ahead and don't let that stop 'em.

And you're not being spammy. At least, no more than I am at nationslash.
~~Though I am spamming the Hetalia kink meme with fics...~~
If this is spamming, keep spamming! We totally appreciate it! :3

I hope that we will get some nice new fans. Nice being the keyword XD;;

XD; yay, thanks XD Will spam with more art soon.

~~WAIT THOSE FICS ARE YOURS. OMG CAN I MAKE THIS FAST AND CREEPY SOUNDING AND ASK IF I CAN DEVOUR YOUR BRAINS?? THOSE FICS ARE SO FULL OF AWESOME.~~ *pant pant*

Is it right to reveal which ones I did? That'd break the anonymity. If it is though, I'll tell you which ones I did. So far I've done two. <3

Nah, I think it'll break the anonymity, but so far the fics have all been wonderful OoO <333

*whistles innocently*
Got milk?

*ROLLS* I SHOULD BE IN BED NOW BUT OH MY GOD THANK YOU SO MUCH <33333333

WILL BE GRINNING AS I SLEEP.

Damn it, anon won't let me hyperlink right, but there's really no anonymity in that pic, is there? (http://hetalia-kink.livejournal.com/632.html?thread=23672#t23672) PIC IS NOT WORKSAFE.

I'm going to Hell.

Hong Kong is well on his way of becoming a good, civilized boy. ~~(Is this what being a subject of the empire means? I think so...)~~ Ahahaha. XD

I'm glad that I-- ...that some anon inspired this.

Ahh, civilization and culture, isn't it wonderful?

XD that anon wrote something very very sexy, I just had to. ♥

"Civilization and culture" do bring all the boys to the yard.
But I think a milkshake works better.

~~(Arthur's milkshake brings all the boys to the yard?)~~

Ahaha. Aha-- oh, what's this hot feeling? It feels like flames, roaring, hungry to devour me. Oh right, I'm going to hell too it seems. Shamefully too, because in my case, it's over being a dork.

You know, that... anon, that very generous anon, is probably feeling generous still. If someone were to, say, make a suspicious-looking request, that anon may be inclined to fulfilling it while neglecting other, more important duties.

~~wink wink~~

Arthur's civilized milkshake (What the heck is that? XD) brings all the boys to the yard?

*laughs* Well, I think I have a nice little hand basket here to take me to Hell... Though I've done considerably worse in the past. ~~Tentacles.~~

Ohhhh is that so? That anon is wonderful X3 I think I might want to marry them. What sort of suspicious-looking request might another anon make, I wonder...?

Anything where the generous anon is tipped easily, because he is generous but (so I've heard) he's kind of terrible at guessing, unless things are painfully obvious...

Is there anything the requesting anon is particularly inclined to? For example, more adventurous, specific requests regarding Arthur and little Hong Kong? Or something else?

How about ~~'uncivilized boys' getting spanked by their British lords, simply because they'll never be good enough~~ pictures of Spiderman? But anything goes, really! Any request would be awesome, because the writing anon rather enjoys the way the requesting anon thinks. ~~Though said anon would very much like to see the aforementioned scenario drawn. Perhaps if that anon writes enough, he can inspire?~~

Oh, man, that anon who just requested is SO obvious they might as well be logged in. It seems like they're really into the UK/HK pairing, especially a young, YOUNG HK. They are SO going to Hell. *sniggers*

Dear god ~~spanking and being spread across Arthur's lap and crying as spanking becomes fingering~~Spiderman? It's awesome, though, that the writing anon likes the way requesting!anon thinks. Sure gives us awesomely enjoyable hot fic! ~~The aforementioned scene is totally awesome as a picture. Dear lord I ought to be shot.~~

_{Unfortunately, all of those tentacle pics have disappeared when my previous server crashed. TT___TT They were FMA, anyway...when my art was really, REALLY atrocious.}

Oh goodness I REMEMBER that. I was a lurker on the FMA fandoms and I very much enjoyed your untraditional tentacle subjects (~~scaaar~~)

But anyway!
It seems like the generous anon has delivered to that HK/UK loving anon again! Here's hoping the latter will like.

I think I pretty much put every seme under some form of tentacle at one point or another. Kimberly, Scar, and I think Roy was a victim, too? Dear god what was I on.

Oh man, methinks that generous anon just made the requesting!anon's night. And spilled their dinner. But I'm sure that requesting!anon doesn't mind.

The generous anon aims to please, so I've heard.

Meanwhile, I feel bad for poor HK-kun. He's on the bad end of Arthur's many, many issues. At least, under how I anon characterizes Arthur.

I would like to inform the requesting anon that the generous anon does not mind greed. He does, in fact, celebrate greed.

Methinks if there's a continuing part of that fic just now, a certain passingby!anon who draws might just be tempted to draw something. Just intuition. Because after all, while requesting!anon is greedy (and so is passingby!anon), there needs to be balance.

I feel bad for HK, too, which where I start wondering if Arthur might be a bit differently tsundere with HK as time goes on. Like if HK got sick and passed out, he might freak out but only cuz HK is out cold and not technically within earshot.

A continuation EH?! HM. I'll have to see if I run into the writing anon! There might just be one in about... 3 hours. As sadly, I have to go out now.

Perhaps it could be a private showing? With a little more detail...? After all, it's just not easy to write all the smutty details on shortfic mode -- you have to keep the important bits in, and leave the rest out.

~~Would Arthur bother to lube up his little pet dragon? Or is he THAT bad? I don't know.~~

There's also the fact I have to wonder how "durable" nation-tans are. I have this theory that they are like little gods of sorts (think principalities: literal embodiment of nations), but I need to make a longer, better exposit of it. If that is the case, HK-tan might be able to fare better than average to some serious abuse of the nonlubby variety. Funny how I-- ANON has less trouble writing about persistent, psychological pummeling and mind-rape than over that. On the other hand, such practical details often derail from the flow of fiction, so...

Oh, of course I think Arthur will change a bit. HK-kun also gets tough! He's a little dragon who can resist the RED MENACE that infected his 'older twin.' If he can stand the commies he can tell Arthur to GTFO and leave him alone to tend to his birds in peace. But that's just a theory.

Aaah, damn. Requesting!anon will wait, and while that happens, will try to stop being such a greedy pig and tell passerby!anon to draw and fulfill someone else's kink.

Ohhh that'd be nice. A private showing...<333

~~Oh dear, maybe? Or would he just bask in the fact that there is so much pain to be caused and then to torment HK the next day when the boy can barely walk right? A vicious cycle...!~~

*nod nod* In my mind, they're a bit like Stands (think Jojo's Bizarre Adventures) of the nations themselves. I believe me and

equivalent_t had a discussion about this, and there was discussion of not only the physical endurance but also how much the population affected the nation-tan. HK might actually be extremely durable, just for that.

Probably, as HK gets older physically, he'd get more and more quiet and secluded in a "cold shoulder" way. If UK were any more cruel, at that point he probably would have killed all of HK's birds. Or something. Too much mousou.

Yep. I do think they are something like that: ripples and reflections of a country and a culture - the people and the land rather than (exclusively) the government, though the latter plays an important part defining the "personality" of a country (imperialism as the M.O of England being reflected on Arthur.) It's tricky, of course, and I think there's no absolute rules for it, so I for one play with guidelines rather than rules.

I think the trickier cases are that of countries which split up, merge, are born or "die." I submitted once on 4chan that the nation-tans would remain, in some form, as long as the culture sticks. Rome is a dead culture altogether, so he's a ghost now. Someone said Prussia may persist as East Germany.

I do wonder if Hong Kong existed as long as China did, or if it came to be when it was formally separated from the former. For me, I think one can assume he's like a small brother to China (let's not really trouble ourselves TOO terribly, as, if we went into detail, China would not even be a country to begin with, but a hivemind of lands up until it was unified) and then Arthur came thundering in.

I think it's a matter of playing it by guidelines rather than rules, like I said. But that's just me.

MEANWHILE I think that Hong Kong will go through phases. First, he'll suffer (the poor thing), slowly moving onto being jaded and acceptance, and from that will be born a sort of callousness... indifference. Hong Kong would notice that the one thing Arthur can't do is make him *feel*. After all that time and experience, he can control himself enough (~~INDEPENDANT ECONOMIC ZONE HOHOHO~~) and, along with the self-esteem boost that came from standing against the communist government, the population growth and the financial boost, he'd find himself noticing he doesn't have to put up with Arthur's abuse anymore. I figure by the 1950s-1970s (while Arthur was otherwise preoccupied with the cold war), he was finally giving Arthur the cold shoulder. And poor Arthur would realize that HK has escaped him too, but that at least Alfred doesn't have hard feelings against him. HK on the other hand...

And yes, Arthur probably killed his birds. ~~Dark pairing is dark.~~

Also, 100% agreed on the latter comment. YES. That's exactly how Arthur would react, I think. Oh, he'd try to tell himself he's concerned, but really he's just panicking because he's a controlling freak with HK, and the fact he's not reacting/things aren't under control is upsetting.

I wonder if he'd be angry after HK wakes up? Or at least, if he'd feel a strange mixture of anger and relief?

It would be an extreme case of "Damn it DO SOMETHING. REACT. WHY ARE YOU UNCONSCIOUS AND SUCCUMBING TO SOMETHING OTHER THAN ME!!" whilst shaking him, much to the horror of the house-servants. And of course HK sleeps like the dead.

I think so, definitely anger and relief. Will he ever develop any feeling other than domination over HK? Or is that too YaoiLand?

P.S, apparently that writing anon went overboard and didn't just write part 3, but parts 3 through 7.

And I think Arthur DOES have a feeling other than domination for HK. He's just very confused, and too terrified of losing HK to express it properly, so the only form of output he has is dominance. After all, Arthur is convinced that he's doing the best for Hong Kong, so he's not harming him just out of random spite. Oh, it's so messed up.

So no, it's not too Yaoiland, rly. XD
