[news] ANIME DECIDED

THERE IS NO ICON THAT CAN REALLY DESCRIBE MY CURRENT SENTIMENTS, BUT!! (EXCUSE ME WHILE I KILL YOUR FRIENDS PAGE)

HETALIA WILL BE ADAPTED INTO AN ANIME.

Read about it here.  Also, scroll down to see the sample images of Chibitalia and Cowboy!America, which will be on the new trading cards planned.

OH MY GOD WHAT THIS IS LIKE CHRISTMAS IN JULY BE STILL MY HE--*DIES*

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.

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.

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.

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?

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

If he realizes Hong Kong is an ancient marvel in a tiny package, I think he'd force himself into denial about it. Maybe he does. He needs to assert his superiority, and so he probably spites the whole thing: ancient? Who cares? Old, wise? Who cares? He's not western, English, and therefor he's certainly not worthy of any respect for that.

I figure he probably doesn't let Hong Kong speak in Chinese around him. He'd betchslap him right on the face, for dual reasons: using that uncivilized speech, and speaking in tongues that he doesn't understand. Arthur would be paranoid that Hong Kong's mumbling behind his back, so he'd make sure to leave him no space for secrets.

I Anon really needs to go finish the Germany/Italy phonesex, so he can get back to this pairing.

Meanwhile, I find it hilarious that the greatest creative contributions I've made to the community have been forever bound in anonymity. T_T

THIS PICTURE.
THIS.
IT GRANTS M-- I MEAN ANON... POWEEEEEEEEER.

Oh that passerby anon is great. It was JUST as the fic described it-- even better, really. *_* Oh goodness the details. Arthur's face is delicious... not as much as HK's crying face. hell fire dark fire...

We celebrate the works of the master artist anon!

HANDS ON GLASS. Exciting new angles! I think the writing anon is going to be VERY satisfied when he sees this. Yes. Yes indeed. I think a new prompt from that greedy anon might be in order, too. SOMETHING to help him explore the creative urges this picture begets! That passerby anon should feel free to make requests, because fantasies DO come true in the magical world of Hetalia!

Hmm! Well, I finally-- I mean, the writing anon just finished the Italy/Germany phonesex. And, while I--ANON, anon, is leering at some of the other options, ideas don't just pop up like so easily.

In other words, it's not so much that the generous anon doesn't want to fulfill other requests, but there has to be a *spark*, or else the product might not live up to what the requesters deserve. Said anon wouldn't want to give mass-produced crap, but rather, heartfelt, beautiful, emotionally riddled delicious manporn.

The anon will try. He will try to deliver in great variety! Meanwhile, as to the list of requests... Methinks all of those can be catered to. Or at least, I can imagine the generous anon delivering. The ship one is most likely to be terrible, given that I think it might be one of those first, particularly traumatic times for HK. (I do wonder if young nation-tans grow particularly restless when moved away from their 'land'? Because it makes them distant from the call of their people.)

It might be, thus, that Arthur is taking little HK away *exactly* for that purpose, in order to further... immerse him in British culture.

Requests 2 and 3 can be combined into one, really, though I'm not sure to what extent the writing anon can play the pirate thing... though nothing is impossible!



I'm going to sleep now, and so I hear the writing anon is doing the same. Tomorrow morning, though, I shall coax the anon to deliver to the full extent of his powers!
