Hetalia Day! Part 1

Yesterday was fun! Prussia and I kept teasing each other even though we totally didn't know each other (elaborated below). I only regret having to leave early before my curfew.

SERIOUSLY, IT'S MY BIRTHDAY, I SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO STAY FOR THE WHOLE THING!!!

I think I was in a vantage point with the cosplayers. I tend to like to get to know the people personally, rather than focusing on the events only. A lot of them I didn't get to know well, but I got to know Prussia and Hungary a bit better.

~
Here's a recount, kind of:

I arrived at Yio Chu Kang at around 10.15am, which was relatively early since only Rettsu was there. We all squished our faces to the glass walls and waved to the people inside. I was holding a black-framed red fan while doing so. Of all of them, only Prussia waved back, sadly.

So Kimberlyn went to change into her Megane!England cosplay. Hungary, who was standing outside adjusting her hair, wanted to look, but she decided not to since Kimberlyn was rather shy. Hungary was really pretty~ So was Belgium~

When they finally tried to open the doors, they made a lame mistake and pulled the push door. Haha. Anyway, we all got welcomed in and they began a small ice-breakers. We each got a card with a name (mine was Latvia). Then we were supposed to find people in the same group as us, for example Baltics, so I went to find Lithuania and Estonia.

I wasn't sure, so I went up to America and England and asked if there were repeats, of which they said YES. But we gave up looking for more and somehow two more Baltic repeats strayed to us. Which was sad, because it meant that all the screaming I did (that killed a lot of ears) was pretty fruitless.

And after that I stood by to prepare to cling onto Prussia and ask for a mission, only that he moved away to bother Hungary, so I ended up rushing to Canada. I got there first, hell yeah!

After that I can't remember the order I did them, but I still remember all of them:
~
MISSIONS
For SEYCHELLES, we had to fish out a live fish. It was pretty easy for me, though I caught some France mermaids and dead ones before that. And while waiting in the queue, America called me cute and Seychelles agreed haha.


For GERMANY, we had to hit the potatoes and earn 5 points. I did this as a group, and for some reason we kept hitting America's face, cue insane laughter. I was the only one who even scored any points, but my 5 points counted for everyone else so it was okay.


For USA aka AMERICA, we guessed 5 names of movies that the pictures came from. Jia Yang guessed about, what, 7 movies? I don't watch American horror, but I just told America:

"You know, American movies are really amazing!"

And America was so happy he gave me my sticker straightaway. In your face, people who never thought to just suck up a bit.


For RUSSIA, it was that classic game where there's a ball under a cup and you have to guess which cup it's under. I was the first person to guess wrong, apparently, but I pointed out to Russia that he cheated and put the ball into the another cup while mixing them up so I got the sticker.


For FRANCE, you either thrust a rose out to someone, put a censored picture in front of your vital regions or put a censor between your mouth and someone else's mouth. I heard that other people got other missions though. The cosplayer for France was a shy and easily-embarrassed girl, surprisingly.


For CANADA, it was pretty easy, with no time limit anyway. Just quickly flip all the leaves and search for 3 with a picture of Canada. I should have just taken 3 empty ones and say Canada was there, but because my flipping skills are amazing I flipped them all within 5 seconds and finished.


For AUSTRIA, just guess who sang the song Austria plays to you and get 5 correct. I got all correct, though Yi Jia helped me with Germany's because I don't listen to him at all. We got The Absolutely Invincible British Gentleman, Pechka Light My Heart, Marukaite Chikyuu (Germany) and two more Germany songs. I was like, "I-NO-D-ASOLULY-INVISIBLE-BITIS-GETLEME!"


For LIECHTENSTEIN, I'm not entirely sure how we passed, but it was just flipping cards and matching them. When we got empty cards, Bela reasoned that Canada was invisible, so it got counted in the end anyway.


For HONG KONG, we had to do a dance while wielding an axe, and for some reason America did it with us. Of all of us, I was most hyped out about it and at some points in time it looked like the House Mass-Dance. Hong Kong, amazingly, managed to stay remarkably silent and expressionless throughout the whole thing.


For NORTH ITALY, oh wait I forgot. Hang on. Oh yeah, Pictionary. I drew and we got "Apple (software)", "Microsoft", "Starbucks" and "Pizza". We could write words though, so I solved them by doing these:

Apple: Just draw the logo.

Microsoft: '_____ Word? _____ Excel? _____ Powerpoint?'

Starbucks A bit tougher. I just drew as best as I could the logo ("Is that Hungary?") and drew a star and a dollar note (buck).

Pizza: Anyone can draw pizza, heck.


For JAPAN and TAIWAN, we had to buy Omukuji, this piece of paper which writes your fortune. I got Extreme Luck and a picture of America. Oh and did you know? The cosplayers for Japan and Taiwan are twins in real life!


For UK aka ENGLAND, he'll give you props to wear and get you to say something mean to any of the cosplayers. For me, I wore black cat ears (maybe because I was wearing white flowers in my hair) and angel wings. And as I was instructed, I went to Prussia with a cute look on my face, and said,

"But Prussia, aren't you supposed to be dead? I mean like, Prussia was a German country which was officially dissolved in 1947..." Prussia muffled me by covering my mouth and nearby, America gave me a thumbs-up sign.

England was pretty pleased, and gave me my sticker.


For CHINA, I'm not sure what it is but apparently it was Chinese ghost, where you wear this piece of paper on your head and jump around. I quickly chose the China one, because China said something that had a double meaning and I interpreted it as "general of war". China kept speaking in Chinese though my Chinese is fail...


For SPAIN, you use your fingers to try and kick the ball into the goal 2 times while Spain blocks the goal. The first time I hit it, it bounced off the side into the goal. The second time, I hit it before Spain was ready and he was like, "Come on! Let me prepare first!" but it got in same way as the first.


For GREECE, you have to play a three-legged race. Yi Jia and I just chanted, "One-two" all the way and we won easily. Later I repeated with Bela so that she could get her sticker and there was this couple who just walked backwards when going back haha.


For HUNGARY, you have to help her take a photo of a shipping. We got SpaHol and RoChu. I tried to do SpaHol while the rest did RoChu, but I failed. Here's what happened:

Me: Holland, have you seen Spain?
Holland: He should be on cafe duty, yeah, he's over there.
Me: Well you see, I have this friend who likes the both of you, so could you two perhaps take a photo together...?
Holland: I'm sorry, but I think we shouldn't bother him till his shift is over, okay?
-Holland pats my head-
Me: YOU JUST STUNTED MY GROWTH!

So it failed. Strangely when I asked Spain nearly the exact same thing, he had almost the same reaction except for the growth stunt.

And Hungary, knowing that, decided to be nice and give us something much easier: PruGer. So I used the same excuse. Till now, Prussia still doesn't know that was an excuse and will never get to know he shouldn't have dashed to Germany.


For BELGIUM and SOUTH ITALY, we had to lie down in the shape of the person on a piece of paper while Belgium/Romano took a photo of us. I got Death by Ballet for top part and Decide By Yourself for bottom. One of my friends got England Did It haha.


For PRUSSIA, he gives a lot of random stuff, but the most common which is what I got is to balance Gilbird on the head and circle a cosplayer. I had to circle Germany and after an immediate first fail, I decided to take measures and instead stood like a proper lady.

So with small steps, head held high, straight body and balanced weight, I circled Germany, but right after doing so, Spain rushed by and Gilbird was tousled off by the wind. So I screamed and checked Gilbird for injuries while Prussia gave me my sticker.
~
I was one of the fastest to finish, though I had to wait for Austria and Feliciano since they were on cafe duty when I needed them. I managed to get a Russia keychain and a Feliciano badge, which were both pretty cute and Yi Jia was like, "I WANT RUSSIA". So I spent the rest of my time taking photos, chatting with Prussia or doodling on the Graffiti Wall.

Sayon.

[Hetalia] Re-Edit: Official Malaysia?!

OH MY GOSH! My roleplay friend, China, actually went to research on Malaysia from the post about Malaysia being a female. According to her, Malaysia there is just a Malaysian that Himaruya met, not really the real nation. -pisses off at the fanfiction writer who informed me wrongly-

... But she'll probably serve as the basis for Malaysia anyway... Noooo.

Well, at least my MYSG vs. IDSG vs. USSG vs. UKSG is still existent anyway.

[Hetalia] Hints of Singapore?

I was just reading this random fanfic and this popped out at me. As I read, the girl, Name (because it was supposed to be Reader x Country), began to sound a lot like Singapore! As in, exactly. Other than the part about her already being England's when America came.

First, Name is an island country. THAT. Is definitely Singapore. Secondly, all the countries featured are on good relations with Singapore. Unfortunately there's no Malaysia or Indonesia because they aren't in the series.... Yet. Hopefully they will.

Next, Singapore used to be a charge of England, which Name is. She is also on very good relations with America now, like Name in the series. Name is also like her in that during World War II, she was being protected by America. Although unlike her, I don't think Singapore fell in love with Germany. At least, I hope not. Even though Singapore's on good terms with Germany now.

Singapore also has good relations with both UK and US and Name is a subject of romantic conflict for UK and US in the fanfiction. Ohohoho~ Although in the fic France french kissed her. Which seems pretty likely for Singapore, even though France is on good terms with her too.

Basically, it shouts Singapore x World. And since Singapore trades and knows almost all the countries, it's very logical. She even knows Canada.

[Hetalia] How Violin Pieces Can Be Hetalian Crack


So these are based on my violin pieces.

1. In one of them, the composer was born in Germany. He moved to Vienna, Austria for a short time, but spent most of his career in Hungary.

So basically, Germany dated Austria, but dumped him and hooked up with Hungary...?




2. He was born in Newcastle, England. Afterwards he moved to Germany but ended up in America.

So... USUK anyone, after the crack GerUK?




3. The Italian piece was based off the French "Corrente", which means running movement.

France-oniichan huh.




4. The composer was born in London, and inspired by Cuba's music.

America and Cuba's been getting along then?




And finally, the crack which kept us laughing for quite some time:

A Greek song's description: "The 7/8 metres (3+2+2) makes for some exciting rhythms. It needs to be played incisively around the middle, and quite near to the bridge."

My friend saw something perverted in this.

[Hetalia] How Singapore Views Other Countries

I've been researching on Singapore's Foreign Relations with Other Countries because I wanted to check which pairings made a lot of sense. Like, I know Malaysia x Singapore is popular and very logical, but I want to know what other countries like her.

According to the sources that I looked at, Singapore shares relations with 175 countries. That's a lot, don't you think? Not to mention that despite that she trades with practically every single country in the world, probably. But of all of them, it seems that there are four main countries she knows best: Malaysia, Indonesia, England/United Kingdom and America/USA. Popular, aren't you~?

Apparently Singapore and Malaysia share "complex relations". But it's been getting better. Hmm, a hint huh? And it was fun to hear how "due to obvious geographical reasons" it mattered a lot to Singapore her relationship with Indonesia and Malaysia.

And it was quite surprising, the results. Like, I knew for quite some time that Singapore separated from Malaysia, but I didn't know they actually had a lot of problems with each other. For example, how Singapore keeps drinking Malaysia's water. And how Singapore keeps trying to... No, I'll say this later together with Indonesia.

Indonesia and Singapore have generally good relations. Oho~ But like with Malaysia they have a few disputes over some things, like land reclamation. I love this point, it's awesome. Apparently they're pissing off about how Singapore doesn't give them privacy of space. And like my friend aptly put, "Singapore, do you have like NO concept of personal space? Get offa me!"

PFFT AHAHAHAHAAAAA! Although I think Indonesia x Philippines might be cool too.

They also mentioned that Singapore and England have pretty close ties, considering that once upon a long time Singapore used to be England's. Okay that sounded kind of. But anyway, now they only ever really meet during UN meetings and trade. Personally I think Singapore's still reeling from England's abandoning of her last time~

And America too; they said "share a long-standing and strong relationship". UH WHAAT? I can totally imagine Singapore and America arguing over England's treatment of them. But I have nothing much to say about this pairing because I don't really like it as much as the rest. In my opinion I think that America does like Singapore but Singapore's just using him in a way.

So in conclusion it's mainly Malaysia, Indonesia, England and America fighting for Singapore's affection. What I love to do, though, is to make Singapore a normal person but very cold to others trying to approach her romantically. And no one can blame her, because:

1. Portugal burnt her.
2. England abandoned her.
3. Japan tortured her.
4. Malaysia expelled her.
5. All this was done when she was very vulnerable.

And Malaysia and Indonesia usually fight it out, while England and America fight it out. Although sometimes Malaysia and England fight it out. In terms of the one who's winning, I'd place it as: Malaysia, England, Indonesia and then America.

Though I like to put it so that Singapore has been harbouring unrequited love for England ever since the first time he came to the Malay Archipelago. While her love for Malaysia and Indonesia is more naughty, in a sense. Cough. And with America she kind of regards him as a friend who can provide protection from outside forces. Like maybe France. (Even though apparently she shares good relations with France too... Maybe because she's female?)

As for girlfriends, she is especially close to Taiwan. They apparently like doing dangerous stuff like throwing grenades together. Apparently she's also friends with Belgium, Hungary and Ukraine but not Belarus or Liechtenstein. Sadly.

So here are all of the countries just for the sake of putting it.

1. Brunei
Their currencies are the same.
2. North Korea
3. China
He threatened her before though.
4. Taiwan
She introduced bubble tea to Singapore.
5. Indonesia
First person to ever meet her.
6. Malaysia
Her elder brother by default. Once married.
7. Belgium
8. Denmark
9. France
Somehow.
10. Germany
11. Greece
Strong relations too.
12. Holy See
13. Hungary
14. Italy
Not as much though.
15. Romania
Singapore loves how cheap Romania's stuff is.
16. Russia
Since 1968.
17. Serbia
18. Ukraine
She recognized Ukraine's independence
19. United Kingdom
20. Australia
Free trade for all.
21. Canada
Except America's helping to represent him.
22. Egypt
23. India
Saved her when China threatened her.
24. Iraq
25. Israel
Helped her after Malaysia rejected her.
26. Mexico
27. Pakistan
Considers Singapore a sincere friend.
28. New Zealand
29. South Africa
30. Thailand
31. Japan

There's supposed to be 175 in total, but they only put those in Wikipedia. Yeah.

Sayon.

Facebook Parodies

I haven't posted in a while because nothing much's been happening since it's the holidays. I don't want to go back to school, I haven't done my homework... Heck.

So I dug this out. My sister gave it to me a few years back, before Hetalia began to influence me.












Oh the Hetalia.

Hints of FrUK and GerIta? Oh my gay. And Holland supports FrUK, apparently.

[Hetalia] Singapore's Remembrance of England

A Fan-made Fanfiction


PART ONE

"And explain why we're here right now?" England asked France irritably. The countries were having a break from all that paperwork and had went on the trip together, but the first place France dragged them to was a freaking casino.

France smirked at England's pissed face. "Angleterre, it has been a long time since any of us has gone gambling, has it not?"

"Where is this casino anyway?" England muttered to himself. Apparently it was rather new, even if it was one of the most successful by now. They entered the casino and were met with polite ushers and usherettes. "Bet France isn't very happy that she takes so much care in hiring the 'correct' type of workers," Denmark whispered to Norway.

"Shut up, not like you're allowed to smoke here either," Norway whispered back harshly. 'She', huh? So it must be a female nation then? England counted off Hungary, Liechtenstein, Belarus, Ukraine, Belgium, Vietnam, Taiwan, Seychelles. Can't be any of these, either too underdeveloped or they just don't seem the type.

As they took a seat at one of the roulette tables, the game progressed quickly and England forgot about the mysterious identity of the nation as he pissed off at America and France.

... ... ...

She washed her face at the sink. Too long hours working, but she knew she could handle it. She'd handled worst than that before, after all...

"Good work all of you. continue working hard," she smiled encouragingly at her people. Truthfully she wasn't really supposed to be working there since she was the nation, but she wanted to make sure everything was fine.

The moment she stepped out of the rest quarters for the workers, her personality changed. A calm and polite female carefully served drinks, slyly responding to the moves of some of the stupider people who didn't know who they were messing with. She just had the ability to change her character to suit the occasion nowadays.

As she surveyed the casino to make sure that everything was working out smoothly, she noticed in annoyance that one table was particularly noisy. She recognized one of the people there as Italy, since he was currently eating pasta. That must be the table with the nations who were coming today, she mused.

Wait, eating pasta? She jumped. No one was allowed to eat in the casino! She made her way over to the table, controlling her anger, since she was supposed to be the perfect role models of ushers at the current moment.

... ... ...

Feliciano chomped on his pasta happily. "Can't you do anything other than eat pasta, Feliciano?" Romano asked his brother angrily. Germany facepalmed as Japan sat there awkwardly. After all, Japan wasn't really one to gamble.

"Excuse me, sir. Would you mind putting down that plate of pasta?" A quiet but firm voice came. Feliciano looked up to see a rather polite and calm usherette speaking to him.

"Eh? But I mind," Feliciano replied stupidly. Romano facepalmed this time.

The usherette cleared her throat. "I apologize for not being clear. Kindly do not eat in the casino since it is against the rules. If you do not comply I will be forced to take measures against you. If you wish to eat, please go outside and eat before coming back into here."

France wolf-whistled. Romano gazed at her in awe. "Ve? Okay then!" Feliciano left the room, bringing his pasta with him.

The female looked around the table with slightly calculative eyes as everyone stared silently at her. When she met England's gaze, her eyes widened slightly, but she quickly recovered.

"I apologize for interrupting your game. Please continue. Do not hesitate to call any of us should you require assistance, though the workers are obliged to report anything unusual you might ask of them," she emphasized, looking at France while she said so.

France didn't take the hint, instead smiling at her seductively. If she was attracted or repelled, she didn't show it. Instead, she bowed curtly and walked away. "That was a pleasant lady, oui? Although she seems a bit young to be in here," France commented.

About who knows how long later.

"That was the most awesome game ever!" Prussia yelled, not bothering to keep his volume down. Apparently he hasn't noticed that he's not supposed to be alive anymore either. England didn't say anything, too lost in thought to even drink the tea that stood there for him already.

"We're going to meet the nation who made this wonderful casino now, da?" Russia said happily. Happily because underage people/nations were not allowed and the age limit was 21. Belarus was 19. Well actually lots of countries were underage, but somehow they got smuggled in.

They all nodded in agreement. And maybe if they got on good terms with the nation, she'd give them a discount when they went to play in the other parts of her land. If possible she could get her big brother to give a discount too.

The countries waited in a rather elegant room in the Parliament House for the host nation to arrive. "Quite impolite of her to make us wait, don't you think?" Spain said cheerily. The other countries all ignored him.

Just then, an usherette ran into the room, gaining the attention of everyone. "I'm so sorry, I was busy," she panted as she leaned against the doorframe. Everyone was quite surprised as to the presence of an usherette. "Who're you and why are you here?" Germany asked very bluntly.

The youthful female blinked, before looking down at her clothes. "Ah, I forgot to change." She ran out again, before coming back in a black skirt with a yellow tank top with straps. Then she sat down, sweating slightly due to the heat.

"So... You're the host nation aru?" China asked.

She blinked at him. "Who else would I be?" That sent everyone into an uproar.

"But you were wearing usherette's clothes!"

"I envy your youth."

"What kind of nation dresses so simply, heck?" No one noticed as France slipped out of the room quietly.

She rolled her eyes. "In case you didn't know, we'd die of heatstroke if we dressed like you everyday. In fact, the temperature now is about 32 degrees Celsius now, you realize? Oh right, this room is air-conditioned."

Russia smiled. "Wow, what a wonderfully warm temperature, da? It's always so cold in my country... What's your name again?" She sighed.

She leaned back in her chair and crossed her arms. "My name is Singapore," she said casually.

England slammed down the cupful of tea that had been prepared for him beforehand and stood up. His pupils were a bit dilated as he sweated profusely, staring at Singapore. She made no response except to flick her black hair, tied in a loose ponytail, backwards.

He slowly sat back in his chair as everyone stared. "Sorry," he muttered. "Continue."

Just then, there was a loud sound, like an explosion, from outside. Singapore jumped up. "Think someone's trying to invade me again! Sorry, just hang on a while." She immediately left, throwing the room into silence.

"... Let's go watch or something." "Agreed." They all ran out of the door to see the commotion.

PART TWO

France was standing, oh so high and mighty, in the direction opposite from the Parliament House. And facing him was a rather pissed Singapore. "Pervert, haven't you anything better to do than try to get girls?" France smirked. "A pretty young girl like you should just be mine. Besides it's probably not that hard to take over your land."

Singapore gritted her teeth and called her army to her aid. "No use fighting, your army's insanely small, I can finish them easily," France called out to Singapore, who had somehow managed to change into a green military uniform, quite similar to England's temperate/tropical military uniform. "Besides, what are you doing wearing such an ugly uniform anyway?"

"Don't look down on me," Singapore said quietly, dangerously. "Even if I'm quite weak, my people are strong." With that, she looked France straight in the eye. "I think you forgot that even if my army's small, but practically all men have gone through training. Oh, and I forgot to mention, some women."

(Meanwhile, in Jurong.)

A forty-year-old man threw his spatula at the invading French. His little daughter took the opportunity to attack the Frenchman directly in the face.

"No, my beautiful face!" He cried, stumbling back. "How do you even know how to attack anyway?" The little girl shrugged. "My parents send me for karate classes. About all parents do that," she answered before knocking him out.

The lack of freedom to use guns in Singapore had probably gotten to the people's heads. They were creative enough to use woks, knives, pens and laksa to attack the invaders now.

(Back to Parliament House.)

"I'm not letting you go without paying me for the hospital fees," Singapore replied calmly, before pulling out a HK-MP4-A3 and a .22 revolver. "Mademoiselle, you have been influenced by Switzerland," France sighed before pulling out his own gun. Yes he has a gun, using a sword in these days won't get him anywhere.

Singapore evaded nimbly with her light figure as she dodged all the bullets sent her way. She leapt down from the top of the Parliament House and ended in a kneeling position on the ground. Her rifle was poised perfectly as she quickly took aim and fired.

She left the rifle in continuous fire and held the trigger as she followed the running Frenchman. "Mademoiselle, I know I am very exquisite, but you do not need to be jealous!" France squealed as he ran as fast as he could.

"Shut up," Singapore said, before swapping to her .22 revolver, standing up and taking aim sideways. Switzerland would have been mightily proud, only he had no part in her life anyway. "Fine, I'll pay, I'll pay! Just stop and I'll leave!" France surrendered. Singapore ceased fire and France ran away immediately after throwing some jewels to Singapore's feet.

"Should we chase after him?" A sergeant asked Singapore formally.

"No, leave him. No point in chasing after him, he's already left anyway," Singapore answered, before heading back to change. During that whole exchange everyone was gaping at her. All except for England, who had a pained look on his usually angry face.

PART THREE


"Are you sure you don't need any treatment?" Hungary looked at the younger female in concern. Singapore shook her head, smiling. "I've suffered worse," she offered as her reply. "Why don't you go ahead and play in Sentosa or something? I'll get someone to escort you there," she offered. Everyone looked eager. "But why can't you do it yourself, da?" Russia asked.

"Got to clear up after you all messed up the room," she pointed out. But they insisted on her bringing them there so she compromised by sending them on a tour of the Parliament while she cleared up.

After a while she realized that England was still there, but just pursed her lips and ignored him as he observed her. It was when she was clearing up the tea that he spoke to her.

"You still remember that I like my tea made from Ceylon black tea leaves," England stated casually. Singapore made not much response, except to continue clearing. Then she answered, "If I didn't know after all those years, I'm a failure."

"So, how have you been?" England struggled for words.

"Pretty okay, Tony just got elected President and he's quite okay." There was a silence. England broke it.

"Do... You ever long for the old days?" Singapore twitched at the question.

"Once I remember what you did to me during World War II, I can't help but wish I'd never known you," Singapore said coldly. England fumbled for words. "We-Well, I'm sorry... I know you probably can't forgive me, but please?"

"I've already forgiven you. Why else would you be the one doing most economic business with me?"

England walked over to her, bent down and stared into her defiant black eyes. "Anyone can tell that you still don't really forgive me," he said quietly. Singapore pushed him away angrily and turned away.

"Duh, anyone can tell, of course lah!" Singapore snapped as England twitched at her usage of the improper "Singlish". Was she trying to spite him? "When Japan came, you fought, so I thought it was okay... But not even halfway into the battle, you left and abandoned me..."

Singapore trembled. "And then Japan kept torturing my people, especially the Chinese. And when we tried to help China, he killed them all."

"My people weren't even given enough food to eat," Singapore said as she paced around. "Not to mention they got beaten up everyday, even the children. And did you know," she said with burning eyes as she turned to face England, "that at least 50 000 people died? At least?"

"I-I tried! I told them to continue fighting for you till the very last man!"

England bit his lip as Singapore smiled bitterly. "They didn't listen to you did they? Incompetent fool, trying to push the blame?" England hung his head as he listened to her. It was all true.

He felt Singapore coming up to him, probably to slap him. Instead, her delicate hands touched his face, before she tiptoed and gently kissed his right cheek. England's eyes widened in shock as Singapore whispered softly into his ear, "This is for the time when I adored you to the point of admiration."

She turned abruptly and walked away, remembering to snatch up the teacup as she left. England stood there frozen, his hands still touching the spot where Singapore had kissed him. It was exactly the same as where she used to kiss him before the war.

It would probably be the last time she kissed him.

EPILOGUE

Singapore stopped in the middle of an isolated corridor, still recovering from suddenly flouncing out like that. "It's... Been a long time, huh..." She whispered to herself.

She used to be a child who adored England so much, she'd done everything she could for him. Now she spent her days putting on masks: a calm usherette, a cheery nation, a ruthless fighter.

Always changing herself so that the child in her wouldn't come back and no one would ever be able to take advantage of her. So that she would never have to remember the pain of betrayal, never getting too close to anyone, not even Malaysia anymore.

She buried her face in her hands. "And now thanks to you, I can't tell who is me anymore..."

Fin.

I swear, the 50k people dying is correct as long as my sources are correct! ... Which they probably aren't. Thanks to England, Singapore suffers multiple-personality disorder or something now huh... Actually England/Singapore could make a straight pairing.

Hmm. I'll write in to Himaruya-san asking him to publish Singapore or something. And hint heavily to make her a girl. Luckily my Japanese isn't too bad, though it's very bad.

Sayon.

[Hetalia] The Story of Lion City

A Fan-made Manga




[Start Transcript]
"Hetalia Extras: The Story of Lion City (A Fanmade Manga based on Hetalia)"
This girl is Singapore. She may seem hardworking, but...
Singapore: "... I'm too lazy to study anymore."

Sang Nila Utama: "Finally on land... Eh?"

Singapore was found by Sang Nila Utama and Malaya. At that time she was called Temasek. On the voyage, a great storm cam and in desperation [to save his ship] Sang Nila Utama threw his crown into the sea. The storm stopped then.
Upon landing, he saw a strange creature, identified as a lion. So he called Singapore "Lion City", or "Singapura" [in Sanskrit]. (Of course there's no lions in Singapore. It was probably a tiger.)
Malaya took her as his long-lost [or adopted; not confirmed] sister. Hence, when Netherlands invaded his vital regions, Singapore was invaded too. Luckily, Netherlands with his lolicon didn't rape Singapore or what for unknown reasons.

So England sent an Austria look-alike called Raffles to help steal back trade.

Raffles: Let's go then.

Random Dude: Yes sir.

England could just attack Netherlands but he didn't want to since Holland could be raped while he escaped from France. Likewise, Holland was just invaded by France and could not afford to fight England. So they tried to find a solution. (Later, the Anglo-Dutch Treaty solved this.)

England: Stay away from me, bastard!

France: Then I shall just rape Holland first~

Netherlands: ... *pissed*

China loved Malay goods, Malays loved British goods and England loved China's tea. But China hated British stuff. So England got his tea by trading British for Malay for Chinese, but Holland kept getting Malaya to give stuff to him and not England. So England got pissed off.

Malaya: Boss told me to work with you!

Netherlands: Nice to meet you.

England: Hey!

England: ... Who are you?

Singapore: ?

So England made Singapore one of his colonies except he didn't realize Singapore was Netherlands'. And Netherlands got pissed off till he gave them Bencoolen. [A/n: Till England gave Netherlands Bencoolen.] (Refer to Anglo-Dutch Treaty yourself.)
Bencoolen was pretty though not as self-sufficient as Singapore, so Netherlands didn't really care anyway. Singapore quite liked England and did a lot of work for him, including saving his tea supply.

England: Don't run off like that!

Netherlands: Hands off! She's mine!

And so Singapore was with England in innocent bliss till Japan attacked her...

Fin.

I don't really like how I drew, though I thought it wasn't too bad when I drew the part where England ruffles Singapore's hair. It's kind of creepy how nice he treats her *shivers* Maybe because she's a very young girl who helps him a lot?

Sayon.

[Hetalia] Eden's Glimpse (One-shot)

A Fan-made Fanfiction


[A/n: The full title is really "You murdered Eden and you regretted it. You killed Eden and you paid for it" but it's long. Really long.]


A pristine girl, easily confused. While everyone argued, she settled her eyes on Kumajirou. Quietly she conversed with Kumajirou, the easiest one to speak to.

Canada was startled when an unknown girl, looking dazed, came over and began speaking with Kumajirou. Even more surprised he was when Kumajirou responded happily to her, she smiled and they began talking like best friends. "Uh. Who're you?" Canada figured the girl wouldn't see him.

The girl looked up at him from Kumajirou and blinked. "Me?" Canada was a little surprised that someone actually noticed him, but nodded. She blanked out so long that Canada wondered if her soul had left her.

"... I... Don't know."

Shel blinked as the conference finally ended. The girl stood out a lot. She had eyes with opaline colours, which admittedly was pretty abnormal. But it was quite pretty like that. Her hair shimmered in the sunlight, like rays of moonlight. She also had a chain locket around her neck, but no one could open the locket so no one cared.

Even though she was already there, no one could determine how she even entered, where she came or whether she was even a country. So she was given quite a bit of freedom, till it was found out which country she was. And if she wasn't a country... But such a girl, being a normal person?

You killed Eden and you liked it.

Somehow she got along with everyone. Her personality seemed to be able to suit everyone. Or maybe it was just the way she was. Like France's bouquet. When he offered them to her, she accepted it despite all the background noise yelling at her not to. But she didn't take it in the usual way. Instead, she had a puzzled look as she said, "The flowers are pretty, but why pluck them when they're still alive?" Which was actually a valid point that France took into consideration when offering his love.

Even England's scones, which were fairly toxic. When she ate them she choked them out, but afterwards she closed her eyes and smiled, almost saying to herself, "But the warmth of the person who made them almost made them sweet." England got a bit pissed off at being called "warm", although he was kind of pleased that someone kind of enjoyed his food.

As she spent more time with the other countries, they got used to her presence. Even trigger-happy Switzerland would let her off and his little sister Liechtenstein often invited her in. And where Japan was rather reserved, they spent time observing the sakura blooms. She didn't mind doing anything much, and didn't complain too much about any task set for her.

But no one knew her name. Not even she knew. Even when they tried to interrogate her, she didn't know anything. Even with the newest technology of lie-detectors, she couldn't tell them anything. Eventually they just came to calling her without a name, though how they did that, they could never really understand. It just seemed like she was always there when they needed her, giving no need to call her.

You killed Eden and you missed it.

One day, England was talking with his magical friends by himself again. Not like anyone else could see them for some reason. He was talking about the new girl, who was rather strange and unique, perhaps they would know about her? The angels, upon listening to the description, was becoming more and more surprised.

Suddenly, England realized the girl was staring at him. Shit, he thought, now she probably thinks I'm crazy like the rest of the world does. He was in for a surprise. The girl began dripping tears as she stood immobile. Without warning, she ran towards England, a smile on her face as she extended her hands out.

What the hell? England backed away fast, but it turned out she wasn't headed for him. As he watched in astonishment, she hugged one of the angels, although rather gently as not to damage the wings.

"Huh? You know each oth--Wait you can see them?" England began to feel kind of left out.

"Deus paradisum, lectus eris?" The angel ignored him, speaking in some unknown language to the girl. [1]

"Fortasse," she answered simply. [2] England didn't know what the hell they were speaking, and didn't give a shit anyway. the only thing he pricked his ears at was the word "paradisum" which sounded like "paradise", but it could always be another word anyway.

You killed Eden and you loved it.

One day, almost all the countries were slacking together in a room. For once, there was no chaos, no France being gay since he was off sick, everyone was at peace. Suddenly, a figure came running in through the open door. It was her.

She came to an abrupt halt, her hair swishing furiously as she dug her feet into the ground. Everyone looked at her curiously. This time, she was not the girl they knew. Her head was lowered as she took in laboured breaths and her body shook as she choked out words.

"Why..." It was so quiet that the slightest breeze swept it away. "Why... Why did you all?" Everyone looked at each other, confused. But her next statement, risen to a sobbing cry, froze everyone.

"Why did you all kill all those innocent people!"

They couldn't feign ignorance. This girl whom they had always been truthful with, they couldn't lie to her. They could only fidget helplessly as she began sobbing for real, tears rolling and falling to the ground.

No one chased after her as she turned and ran away. It was only when they saw the incoming car in front of her running, prone body, that they panicked. They shouted helplessly as the delicate figure met the car and was thrown like a flimsy doll. At the time that her body smashed into the solid ground, the locket that everyone had forgotten about broke open.

Russia was the first one to walk over, followed by China, Prussia and England. Even though they had seen thousands of people die, they had never seen an innocent girl die. China was the one who picked up the open, broken locket toread the message within: "A gift to my friend Eden, who must be one of the most beautiful ones ever. Your friend, God. (No wait, to heck with God, you can call me Yuuka.)"

Prussia stood by awkwardly as England gently lifted her body. She was very light, even lighter than a feather. Was that because she was dead, or had she always been like that? He stayed there for quite a while, not knowing what to do. Her hair trickled over his hand like soft cascading water.

You killed Eden and you lost it.

Everyone was haunted by her death. They had never known that paradise could be just like that. they had never known that there could be a paradise on earth even if they hated it. They had never known that paradise was just as simple as accepting everything and looking on their bright sides.

But now they'd never be able to gain that without her. She'd taught them and guided them onto that road to paradise, but she'd died and they lost their way without her. And they knew that her death was their fault, and it was their fault that an innocent child died. Maybe they didn't mind children dying, but once it was seen with their eyes it was impossible not to be haunted.

Gradually, over time, they began to hear voices. Voices that chanted, repeated endlessly.

"You killed Eden and you hated it. You killed Eden and you feared it."

"Stop it, stop it!" England became a child again, terrified and scared. He looked up and saw the faces of his magical friends, they chanted the same chant. He ran away, hid in an alley. "I didn't kill her... I didn't kill her..." he grabbed his head and laughed insanely, his voice wavering. When he looked up, he saw the face of Eden when she stared blankly, dead. He screamed and made a dash for it.

A thread of clothesline caught his neck and sliced through his trachea.

Everyone was driven insane in the end. They all saw the face of the dead, all saw the face of Eden, all saw the faces of them. No one knew what they were, but they were always there to leer at them, with malice in their voices.

"You killed Eden and you had it. You killed Eden and you hurt it."

It was always along those lines. Eventually, everyone met the same fate. England was first; he was the only one that saw Eden's true face when she was dead. Only the innocents still lived, but there were so few innocents. Everyone died in different ways. Whether sleeping pills or a noose, it was always suicide in the end. Even England's death, which seemed like an accident, also a suicide.

But with the relief on their faces when their bodies were found? Death was probably a blessing from Yuuka to them.

You murdered Eden and you regretted it. You murdered Eden and you paid for it.

Fin.

It's kind of strange to me, but I like the concept of Eden being a country. And it's true, Eden being Paradise is just based on how people accept others and look on the bright side. Also to do with not knowing anything else so that they won't be like, "Why isn't there hamburgers to eat?" -CoughAmericacough-
[1] I forgot, but it's supposed to be Latin for "Will you come back" or something.
[2] Latin for "Maybe".
