[doujin] Debut

[youkofujima.livejournal.com]

I come bearing a very very roughly drawn doujinshi!  It was done a while ago, when I still thought that the UK/HK pairing had a chance of being a cute, sweet pairing.  But then recently a very generous anon on hetalia_kink as well as myself totally JOSSED my own brain and then it took a deep dive into Hell.

Yeah.

Also, kohikki, I'm working on your request (I know what to draw and everything!), but the current kink meme has made my brain turn into useless mush.

So,  here's a doujin from when I still thought of UK/HK as innocent.  Ahhh, that was, what...a month ago? *laughs*

Title: Debut
Author/Artist: youkofujima
Character(s) or Pairing(s): UK, Hong Kong (young), Russia, China, Taiwan. 
Rating: PG
Warnings: Very everywhere type of doujin (drawing, dialog, everything).  Also, Hong Kong is VERY young (younger than the way I usually draw him)
Summary: Debut of UK bringing Hong Kong to a social event.  Takes place shortly after the Opium Wars, which is before the Bloody Sunday Incident, so Russia is shown as having still a speck of sanity.

Six pages.  Large images.





(note: these lines were balantly taken from my friend Jenny's comic "Soul Union," during its first draft.  Those lines don't exist in her new official copy, completely redrawn, but I really liked it.)










Seriously, I drew this mostly just because I wanted to draw Hong Kong holding UK's two fingers.

This will never happen in my current state of mind.  Ever.

Plus it might seem like the first two pages are really out of place, but I had originally wanted to do more pages, including UK saying how HK is a bit reclusive because of being torn from his twin and Russia asking about said twin.  UK says he didn't take her because he only goes for shota boys Japan had his sights set on that other twin and it would have caused for trouble, and stuff like that.
I'll get to working on scanlations when I'm not bogged down by bunnies.  Can someone do the text editing if I do the translations?

Russia makes me think of a pedo xDDD

I loved it <3

[youkofujima.livejournal.com]

LOL what does that make UK, then? XD

Thank you ^^/

[kohikki.livejournal.com]

Great work on this!
Very cute and kind of sad at parts too..
But also funny.
Which is impressive for such a short comic!
Even though it's rough, I like the art a lot too.

And don't worry about getting the request done soon if you're busy, I'll be patient. :)

[youkofujima.livejournal.com]

Thank you^^

The original plan was to have a Hong Kong side and a Taiwan side of their lives away from each other before Hong Kong was returned to China...but LOL I gave up. But if I had gone with the original plan, it would have had more of this--fluff and angst and things like that.

I'll try to get it to you >o<|||

iwejfoirgj so moe.

:'[ ugh.
I have lack of vocab.

[youkofujima.livejournal.com]

*laughs* Thanks. I'm actually really, REALLY bad at a few things.

1) Children
2) Moe.

My mind twin can attest to this.

[festivewind.livejournal.com]

My shota soul just screamed.
I love you, youkofujima.

[youkofujima.livejournal.com]

XD Thank you for liking it XD

[thier-sess.livejournal.com]

I really liked it <3 Especially Russia's request. XD

[youkofujima.livejournal.com]

Thanks XD Russia likes cute things?

"When the hell freezes over!" *cheers UK*

[youkofujima.livejournal.com]

UK doesn't give up his spoils of war that easily, no...

[morphaileffect.livejournal.com]

most awesome.

[youkofujima.livejournal.com]

Thank you^^/

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH


OH MY GOD I REALLY LOVE IT.

[youkofujima.livejournal.com]

*covers ears* CHO-ON-PA! XD Over the internets!

I LOVE YOU THAT YOU LOVED IT.

[noetma.livejournal.com]

woaaaa

that is really awesome

;___;

so much ruv.

[youkofujima.livejournal.com]

Thank you for liking it^^/

I think there need to be special effects involving in displaying my reaction to this, because I had this instant, double-orgasm that is physically impossible. The cute of this is only proportionate to the darkness of it all, so I was artistically blown over by how you captured everything. However, I also love it for the HISTORICAL FLAVOR. My favorite panel (other than the wonderful ':D Can I have him?' sequence because it made me laugh) is China and "friendly negotiations." It made me go "o, ow! What was that? Was it... my soul, hurting?"

So loving this. *_* Good work!

[youkofujima.livejournal.com]

*shock* O_O D-double orgasm. That sounds painful. I wanted for it to be cute, almost a bit moe, but then also have the part of it where you have to know where some of these kids came from. So...history and XD;; weirdness all in a mixed bag?

Friendly negotiations=war and opium and rape. Hence the reason why China is not actually in this social event.

Thank you so much for liking it, and the long comment ^^

_{Awesometastic. Greedy!requesting!anon will be waiting!}

The idea of UK and Japan dividing their pedo targets spoils of, er, international politics, strikes me as faintly creepy awesome. XD For the doujin...it made me smile but somehow I know I'm not supposed to HELP.

Cripes, I want Taiwan. This kind of stuff faintly hits my moe.

[youkofujima.livejournal.com]

Pedo Targets. *cackles* I figured I wanted to include that cuz of the prospects of the Anglo-Japanese Alliance that was to come. Or something. It would have been slightly bad if UK took too much and too close to Japan.

I really really want Taiwan and HK to show up already TT__TT

Thanks for the comment <3

[kasugai-gummie.livejournal.com]

"After a few... friendly negotiations..."
- D: O-ow. Why you so creepy UK! What a diplomatic way of speaking UK! :D

UK's face when Russia pulls HK's face was A+++. XD

[youkofujima.livejournal.com]

Well, he can't exactly say: "I raped and burned and drugged China and this kid is kinda the product of that, yeah, and I got sole custody for the next ninety-nine years" at a very high-class social event. XD;

Thanks X3 Russia pulls cheeks to determine whether or not one is Asian.

[holy-shpootnik.livejournal.com]

This is something really not on the topic, but I really really really love how you draw Russia's nose.

I guess I can't really say anything besides all the other stuff that has already been said, what with all the double instantaneous orgasm and all that stuff, because that would get repetitive.

I really really love the isolation of Taiwan in the second page, though. That's what I really like about Hetalia, it makes you much more sympathic to history because of the human anthropormorphism(?) of the countries.

(To be honest, I never even knew that HK was actually not originally part of China until Hetalia. I was one of those 'memorize the answers for the test and forget them the next week' sort of students.)

[youkofujima.livejournal.com]

Oh yay, someone noticed! Thank you ^^/ I actually try to make Russia's nose extremely different from the others' because the official art has him with a large and aquiline nose. Not quite hawk, but it's very defined and large. Most of the other characters have a very round, small, generic anime nose, but I wanted Russia's nose to be true to character. And now I just rambled.

XD Thank you X333

it makes you much more sympathic to history because of the human anthropormorphism(?) of the countries.

I think so, because then you tend to think of it as one person who's taking all these hits and doing all this stuff, and as one of my students said "Now you start to think of it as one entity as opposed to an entity made up of a whole bunch of people."

Taiwan's predicament is kinda O_O to be had.

(He was originally part of China, as a port city, but then after the First and Second Opium Wars, was ceded over to UK on a 99 year lease that ended in 1997. HK is currently a special region with a lot of autonomy, as declared by the Sino-British Joint Declaration (I think that's what it's called). But that will end in 2046/2047, where HK will be completely absorbed back into China. I think.)

[demikkusuu.livejournal.com]

Ohmigaw, your icon rocks some serious booty.

AND BECAUSE EVERYONE HAS SAID EVERYTHING ALREADY IN THE ABOVE COMMENTS, um. D: I think you know what I mean. <3

[youkofujima.livejournal.com]

I love that Zuko icon, along with this Aang icon. LOL.

^^/ Thank you for liking it, all the same! ♥

[catnamedeaster.livejournal.com]

I don't think I can say anything that hasn't been said so I will make an incoherent noise of love instead:

FNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNGH. ♥♥

[youkofujima.livejournal.com]

OoO Fngh? That is an awesomely interesting sound XD thank you! ♥

[tomoe-daeva.livejournal.com]

--Am I reading some-- ZAWA ZAWA :'D -?!

Cute story despite the dark background <3 Gotta love UK tendencies X'D

[youkofujima.livejournal.com]

YES YOU SAW SOME ZAWA ZAWA. Though I don't read any FKMT (is that what it's called?)^^; I just use that as a random "hustle bustle of background talk" sound effect.

Thank you^^/ is it a cute trap, then?

[khursten.livejournal.com]

My god... MY GOD... you make international negotiations look so... criminal!! >w<

I APPROVE!

[youkofujima.livejournal.com]

I went to a seminar in international relations, I...

...wait, I don't think I was supposed to use that completion certificate for that... oh well.

[inquisitorial.livejournal.com]

Why is it that every time I spend a day off the computer something like this happens. T_T I really liked this doujin! I loved how you managed to portray both angst and humor in six pages.

OH! and if no one has offered, I'll be willing to do some text-editing for some scanlations.

[youkofujima.livejournal.com]

W-what happens? O_O

Thank you^o^/ I'm glad you liked it.^^ I didn't want all emotions to be too meshed together into a compact six pages...

Ohh, really? What format do you usually take it?

[atlikarinca.livejournal.com]

I can't believe I missed this! It's so gorgeous, even for a rough sketch! I love your adorable chillun!Taiwan and HK too *A* Now I've got an amazing urge to go research exactly what happened xD

[youkofujima.livejournal.com]

Thank you^^ I actually have a hard time with children, to say the truth.

You can find out quite a bit about HK and Taiwan's history on Wiki, actually^^/

[ekmisao.livejournal.com]

Scary thing...this can pass off as canon. ^^;

[youkofujima.livejournal.com]

R-really? O_O

[konkira.livejournal.com]

Really, really great. BAWWWWW's for China and those opium fueled
'negotiations'. Taiwan & Hong Kong are so adorable, are they really twins in Hetalia? That would explain all the art I've seen of them together.

Also, I can offer to do some text editing too, if you want to send me a txt file or whatever, me and my photoshop skillz will be all over that. The awesomely crappy weather we've been having lately where I live has left me with nothing but free time ...and I've been spending most of it over at the kink meme, lol, give me something productive to do!

[youkofujima.livejournal.com]

Thank you^^ I'm currently working on one where it's after Hong Kong got taken away and China's still suffering from the anxiety and restlessness of the withdrawal. ^^;;

Taiwan and Hong Kong...they're not canonly twins, but my little thoughts have them as twins because of how similar (in a way) their political situations as well as cultural backgrounds are (two regions that are kinda titter-tottering on being nations and the two nations that have more Chinese traditional culture than China).

Oh cool, thanks^^/ I've been spending a lot of time there, too, actually. LOL. I'll try to send some translations to people and get lots of work done (?)

[m-dono.livejournal.com]

That was seriously just so adorable! Is this canon by any chance?

[youkofujima.livejournal.com]

Thank you! And sadly, no, it isn't. This just came from the terrible depths of my mind.

[spazzimidori.livejournal.com]

Way too late, but...
I seriously love your doujin~ I really like the idea.♥

[coco-chikage.livejournal.com]
