English exam this morning, blah blah, J.M. Coetzee, etc. And then sometime along the way, there was this:

He cannot understand why it is that so many people around him dislike England. England is Dunkirk and the Battle of Britain. England is doing one’s duty and accepting one’s fate in a quiet, unfussy way. England is the boy at the battle of Jutland, who stood by his guns while the deck was burning under him. England is Sir Lancelot of the Lake and Richard the Lionheart and Robin Hood with his longbow of yew and his suit of Lincoln green.
—J.M. Coetzee, Boyhood: A Memoir

… MASSIVE PLUNNIE ATTACK.

What the fuck, self.


Also, Sa'? I’m in the middle of my mock exams right now, so I probably won’t show up on messenger till Saturday. Sorry, mah lass. ♥

(the account? Death the Kid from Soul Eater. gems thinks it looks like a creepy series. No idea why.)



In my soul? Nothing much. Currently plunnies. Many of them. Some involving England and clipper ships and other such things...

Late, sorry.

They are evil. And impossible to get rid of. So I might write that one...

... ahahahah. Well, ss aside, I don't really have the guts time. But it's attacking me anywayyyy nooo~

Ffft. I wanted gems to write Steampunk!Kuroshitsuji!fic, but she chickened out.

I know the feeling...

Kuroshitsuji is hard to get plunnies for, for some reason...

Darn.

STEAMPUNKSTEAMPUNK. I say.

Or even: kick England in there. Make it the ultimate Kuroshitsuji/Hetalia steampunk crossover. :D:D:D

Also because that plunnie is breeding appendixes in my mind, right now.

H’mm, well. I’m a sucker for any type of France/England/America/Canada type of interaction, so of course they’re crowding my little world… right now they’ve imposed themselves in a weird sort of little hierarchy, France as the writer who invents machines a la Jules Verne, England as the one who actually makes them work (what would you call that? an engineer?), Canada as the mechanic who builds them, America as the pilot who flies them. They’re running around right now, sprouting out plot ideas and details about the world’s culture and times. Guh.

Of course, now I’ve got half the mind to make it an original fiction altogether…

Oh my. I do like how I had the same sort of idea. Although, it does seem like it would be a really interesting piece of original fiction (if only because then you don't have to go into all the nitpicky details of economics and history and the changes that would create in the countries).

Also, on a totally unrelated note. The black-and-white film La Jetée. Have you watched it?

Date: 2010-03-30 03:17 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] nuitdenovembre.livejournal.com
Exactly. So I don't know. Still hesitating here. If I don't go all Hetalia on it I might save it for NaNo. What was your idea like?

Umm, yes. Haven't seen it in ages though. B-black and white photographs mmmmm ♥

Date: 2010-03-30 03:24 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] silno-pyanstvo.livejournal.com
Something similar, but focusing more on the actual history and role of the countries in the world. I hadn't managed to nail down a time period yet, so it was more ideas than anything else. America and Canada as the centres for manufacturing, the British Empire, and possibly something about stolen airship designs.

It's so pretty. So very pretty, both the story and the photographs.

Also: yes you can. Plunnies don't make life easy on you, ever.

You know, I've just looked up on Hetalia... and I have to say anime + history = wow. And Canada has a pet polar bear. I'm floored.

(They have Taiwan in there too! I'm so pleased! Definitely going to follow up on the anime now~ -w-)

Yes. Yes you are.

Wait, why did you never think you'd say this? (But I concur. I so concur. I concur in every possible aspect of the concurring process.)

Thankyou. *snuggles*

Ah, yes, well, I supposed when someone mentioned America, I have a certain grain-haired, southern-accent gentleman in mind, who happened to rule over the nation with rather conservative policies for 8 years. And when I think of Canada, the image of another grey-haired, tight-lipped, pasty politician comes up. The idea of the two mingling like buddies... playing catch and whatnot... =_________________=

*wince* I... see. Yeah. *re: wince*

Catch? what catch. They're playing hockey, that's what. (God, you would not believe the fuss that was going on on the hetalia comm. when Canada won the hockey gold over America...)

*sulks*

Catch? I only read the manga... as I recall, it was that one chapter where American/Canada were tossing a baseball around, and America kept hitting Canada with the ball because Canada was too slow? (The ball also struck Canada in the crotch... if that rings any bells...) Poor Canada... *hugs polar bear*

(Goodness... when Canada won hockey gold... I screamed. Dogs barked. And the cars were honking. It was epic. :D)

Actually, that's fine—I like the manga better than the anime myself still omgomg MOVIE COMING UP But yes, I remember that. I was referring to the huge fuss that was occuring during that last hockey match of the Winter OG's—people took teams and drew fanart and wrote fic and it was amazing.

(I can imagine. /has just realized you were from Canada epic fail, whut)
