<.< >.>;; Well I guess this is the best way to jump into the thread...
My favourites are
Canada and America. ;-; Though I wish Canada were more...
Canadian.
I have a picture that might be of interest.
I have way too many favorites on dA. Especially good Hetalia art.
biggrin XD That's awesome thanks...though Canada probably wouldn't approve of carrying a gun around. That's too "American" for his taste, lol. A hockey stick maybe?
I totally agree with their comments though. China wasn't a strong ally in the Second World War...he was always in distress (caused by Japan, of course). Meanwhile Canada is storming Juno Beach, protecting the Atlantic Ocean and liberating the Netherlands. Not to mention owning the skies (Canada has A LOT of Ace Pilots in both wars). The most famous ones are Billy Bishop (WWI) and George Beurling (WW2).
XD It always makes me laugh to think that Canada is the only major commonwealth nation that actually stopped to discuss whether or not we wanted to jump in - Australia, New Zealand and British India jumped on the bandwagon right after Britain did. On the same day, actually (Sept 3rd); Canda waited until Sept 10th. Just thought we'd teach Britain we're nobodies b*tch. LOL (Okay, not necessarily, but it was Parliaments ambition to show Canada was capable of making decisions for itself).
Derp. Sorry, I didn't know that Canadians hated firearms. I'm American and I'm still not very fond of them, but for some reason fictional characters look cool with them. =P
Interesting historical facts about Canada! I would love to read some articles about that if you have the time to link them. If not I'll do some research on my own when I finally get all this God forsaken schoolwork out of the way. Oy.
rofl "China was always in distress." Does that make him a damsel up in the castle and Japan is the dragon? XDD -smack'd-
... now I wanna write a fanfic. >:3
But I'm afraid of how bad the quality might suck because...
1. I'm experiencing a major creative slump/writer's block.
2. The last time I showed one of my fanfics to a social circle outside my guild, I was basically bashed for it. They found nothing good about it!
3. It's Hetalia fic. I'm not sure if I can write it without offending people.
XD Just as long as it's not a USUK or PruCan fic please.
In regards to websites about Canada:
http://www.veterans.gc.ca/eng/collections/hrp (gives first hand accounts of veterans person experiences from the South African War (1900) all the way to the Korean War (1950s). Some have videos of the soldiers telling their stories. It's cool!!)
http://www.canadiana.ca/en/home (A great site with lots of primary documents of Canadian history). This one is my fav!! <3
Oooh, links, links! I shall definitely bookmark these when I get home from school! (I was home yesterday but as promised this time of year, homework ate me alive and kept me from looking up
fun history. I am sad. :< )
The fanfic I was planning is something along the lines of America telling a story about how he was the hero and saved China (think of childrens' story-telling where you sit in the circle, and in this case it's the allied powers in the circle), while China (at the end of America's narration) is like "He's got it all wrong, aru! I was never a damsel in distress, aru!"
Hee.
@ everyone else:
Ship war all you want. I'll be Switzerland and permanently neutral in that respect. I don't really ship much Hetalia after all.
France and England are quite entertaining in the show/comic though with their constant bickering. I wonder if it happens IRL in modern times too.
I have the desire to look up info on current European relations...
And maybe draw crack-filled Hetalia comics of said relations.
My GOD, this thread is educating me!
See, that's how much the American school systems leave out. I get education through links on Gaia. [/shot]
