[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 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.

[Songs] 「Black ★ Rock Shooter」& Cendrillon【サンドリヨン】

They're two songs which I've already known for quite some time, but only recently I've begun to like them very much. I'm planning to try singing Black Rock Shooter. Besides I have a feeling that it might be a song which I can remember the lyrics to.

Black Rock Shooter has really cool lyrics which I like. It's quite poetic. I quite like the concept of the blue fire in Black Rock Shooter's eye, though at first I thought she was Miku cosplaying or something. Even though it's an original concept, but it looks quite unoriginal to me.

Although the OVA is quite illogical in the time frame and also quite illogical how the whole thing basically shows the high-school drama of Mato, Yomi and Yuu. It's called Black Rock Shooter for a reason, you know... They made it so that the alternate world thing seems very extra and just there to contain Black Rock Shooter.

I like Nayuta's cover of Black Rock Shooter even better than Hatsune Miku's version:

And now, Cendrillon. For some reason I always grouped Cendrillon and Cantarella in the same group and hence always thought Cantarella was a duet too.

The first time I heard it I cast it away easily, but about 2 years later (now) I decided to hear it since it was apparently very popular. It sounds a bit like Flandre Scarlet's theme, UN Owen was Her, to me at first. But after a while I thought it was a brilliantly romantic song. That's how I started crossing over Cendrillon with Singapore x England.

I like Tourai & Usa's version best, though I think Pokota & Hanatan rocks too. I preferred Tourai & Usa's because their voices aren't as mature as Pokota and Hanatan's, so it makes Cinderella and her prince seem more on the teenager side rather than as adults.

As per usual I prefer the covers to the Vocaloids. Here is the link to Pokota & Hanatan's:

(I was a bit surprised by how sweet Hanatan's voice sounded since she always seemed more on the mature voice side.)

And Tourai & Usa's:

(I like how their voices can be good even if they don't tremble their voices to make it sound mature.)

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.

Sayon.
