hetalia has eaten me up.

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. ♥

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 ♥

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.
