since ur also a hetalia fan with a boyfriend how do u explain to him ur love of hetalia. i got a boyfriend recently but for years ive been calling hetalia characters “my boyfriends” or in the case of one character “my wife” bc he’s particularly babygirl.. but i realized i might have to stop this or somehow explain my obsession with busty breedable anime men to my straight non-tumblrite boyfriend
Ok so I have a bad habit of beginning to answering asks, getting sleepy, putting them in the drafts and then my brain melts out of my eyes and I forget them forever. SO SORRY for the late response, I genuinely feel bad. Especially when this ask is literally one of the funniest asks I’ve gotten , in a good way<3 In my experience, I simply do not tell him. I am larping as a regular normal human who has no interest in silly country yaoi

ive never watched hetalia before and just found out allen is basically alfred but recoloured i was fully convinced he was just some guy and just didnt know him
i will be living my life happily but then every so often i will be humbled by someone mentioning what allen actually is 😪 i promise he’s more than that to ME
but honestly he really has become like… so much more than just a different version of america lmao. i mean like- i guess that’s what he is in his essence, but since i dont really care THAT much abt the show itself anymore, i’ve really gotten to develop allen as a separate character. same with alfred honestly, and every day im tempted to just change some things and make them oc’s… oh well! that’s a thought for another day
hehehe but i do wonder how you got here if you hadn’t watched hetalia, hope ur enjoying it somehow!

Hetalia: Axis Powers Episode #46: Medieval England's Clothes and Hair Transcript
This episode has Chibi Britain growing out his hair.
Germany: And now for more training. All you need to do is plant this somewhere in the enemy territory.
Italy: Yeah! I can do that!
Germany: Don’t forget, you must not let them see you either. And also, we are in Russia, so you have to be extra careful.
Italy: Run run run run run! Plantiiing!
Germany: Why can you never listen?! AAAAHHHH!
{Text on Italy’s shirt: Squadsman 1}
Italy: Hey, look! I did it! Good for me! Hahahaha!
Germany: RETREAT! RETREAT NOW!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Narrator: The time was the 11th century. In Britain, the long flowing locks usually associated with France were in vogue. Apparently, the king was a huge fan of French culture. And quite possibly a switch-hitter.

{Caption: Smirk smirk}
Child France: Hello, Britain! You are looking as ugly and short as ever. Tell me, how long do you plan to be the Plain Jane of the world? Ohhonhonhonhon!
Chibi Britain: You shut your froggy mouth! Besides, the church would never want me to grow my hair out like you because I’m not a big sissy girl!
Child France: You are also very stupid; everyone who is anyone wears their hair long! All the ladies love it! The men too! You cannot resist this hair!
Chibi Britain: Why are you always such a damn wanker?!
Child France: All right, you jealous boy, good luck not being such a loser! Adieu!
(Adieu!: Farewell! → French)
Child France: Ohhonhonhonhonhonhon!
Chibi Britain: What? He only came here to taunt me?! BUGGER OFF! I’M NOT JEALOUS OF YOUR SHAIT HAIR, YOU SNAIL SLURPER! DON’T EVER SHOW YOUR FACE AROUND HERE AGAIN, RAPUNZEL! Mh…umn…see? I look just fine! Right?
Bishop: Cut it!
(Chibi Britain: Aah! Aah! Aah! Aah!)
Bishop: I said cut your hair! Cut it off!
Narrator: After that, Britain kept running from the Bishop and somehow succeeded in growing out his hair. And shaming himself.
{Caption: After that, England kept running from the Bishop and somehow succeeded in growing his hair}
Bishop: Where did you go?! I’ll rip that hair out of your head, you blasphemer!
(Chibi Britain: Heaheaheaheaheah!)
Chibi Britain: I can’t believe I’ve been running for six months already! My hair has to be longer than France’s by now! Righto, mirror! Don’t disappoint me! I’ve waited far too long for this moment! Now, let’s take a look at how long this glorious mane has gotten!
Chibi Britain’s thoughts: Hehehehehe…color me impressed with my impressiveness! Mmhehehehehe…
Child France: Oh no! I came for Britain…but found a giant caterpillar instead!
Chibi Britain: Aah!
Child France: Oh crap, the caterpillar ate Britain!
Chibi Britain: Shut up! I am Britain, you idiot!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
France: Hetalia!
{Caption: Hetalia}
{Caption: Smirk smirk}
Child France: You know what, it’s not just my hair being long that makes me so beautiful.
Chibi Britain: Son of a…why didn’t you tell me? Now I look ridiculous!
Child France: Oh, come on! How was I supposed to know you wanted to look like me; of course I knew! Ohhonhonhonhonhon! So then, tell me! What do you think of the way I’ve arranged your mop? Good, no?
Chibi Britain: Wow…I look exactly like you. A big douchebag. Please change it, the last thing in the entire world I would ever want to look like is you.
Child France: Well, all right! If you say so!
Chibi Britain: Eh…
Child France: There you go! How about this?
Chibi Britain: Euh…it’s not bad, but isn’t there someone over in your neighborhood that looks like this?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Britain: Hetalia!
{Caption: Hetalia}
Chibi Britain: Look, Francey Pants, I’m trusting you to make it something that fits me and is hip and cool!
Child France: Oh yes, whatever you say, my lord. Although I don’t know if “hip and cool” necessarily fit you.
Chibi Britain: He, eh, he, eh, he, eh, he, eh, he, eh…
Dream Chibi Britain: I have the silkiest hair in the whole world!
Chibi Britain’s thoughts: When he finally finishes, I’ll get to be the hair guy for once.
Child France: Hello daydreamer, I am talking to you! All done! You love it, do you not?
Chibi Britain: Mhn…aah! Uhuhuhuhuhuh…you ass-faced frog eater; this is exactly like my old hairstyle!
Child France: Ohhonhonhonhonhonhon!
(Chibi Britain: Hey!)
Child France: Apparently boring hair is what looks best on you! Ohhonhonhonhonhonhon!
Chibi Britain: You cheese eating surrender monkey!

Fandoms I Keep Coming Back To
I’ve noticed that there are a few fandoms that I always find myself coming back to. I may leave a fandom for a month, a few months, a year, even a few or several years - but I always find myself somehow circling back to them. And so, I decided to make a list of them and figure out why I keep coming back to these specific fandoms.
Labyrinth
This is one I just very recently came back to, and is the one that prompted this post. Alright, so admittedly David Bowie is a definite reason as to why I keep coming back to this fandom. I mean... Have you seen him in this movie? He plays the villain, and he absolutely owns it and is fabulous. But that’s not the only reason I love it so much. I think I’m going to make a post on the movie itself later and delve into the other reasons I love it. When referring to this movies fandom, this film honestly has one of the most awesome and chill fandoms I’ve ever been in. And while I know there are younger fans of the film, the movies fanbase are predominately 80s and 90s kids, and they’re adults now. And I think a majority of the Labyrinth fandom being (mostly) mature adults helps keep drama on the down low. Overall it’s a pretty positive group.
Tumblr media
Hetalia
What can I even say about this fandom that hasn’t already been said before? The Hetalia fandom is literally known as ‘the fandom you can’t escape from’. And you know what? It’s true. You can leave, but you’ll always find yourself getting sucked back in one way or another. Now, I was a completely obsessive Hetalia fangirl for all of middle school. Eventually I kinda phased out of it, but I was a straight up Hetalian for about a solid three to four years there. But as other fandoms and priorities in my life came up, I eventually left. But then the unthinkable happened. A seventh season was announced in 2020, and while I’m not nearly as far down the rabbit hole as I used to be (and thank goodness for that), I’m looking into it again. This fandom definitely had some serious problems (here’s a link to another post I made talking about it), but I had a lot of fun, as it was, and still is, a fandom full of creativity. Also the show is still hilarious after all this time.
Tumblr media
RWBY
I have... Very conflicted feelings about this particular fandom. It’s one that I first got into in middle school, and while the show itself is rife with issues, I still enjoy it nonetheless. But I watched this fandom go from being one of the most welcoming, wonderful, creative, openminded fandoms out there, to being one of the most disgusting, toxic cesspools I’ve ever had the misfortune of witnessing. Now, I could go on and on about how toxic the fandom has gotten, but I’m not here to do that. (Besides, there are plenty of people who have already talked endlessly about the current state of the fandom). This is a fandom that I still come back to off and on, not only because there are still some good people in it, but because it’s a show that I’m emotionally invested in and when a new volume is out I need people to geek out and theorize with. 
Tumblr media
Honorary mention...
The Owl House
I know this show hasn’t been out nearly as long as the other ones, but with how invested I am in this show, and because of all the amazing people I’ve seen and met within this fandom, It’s one that I can easily see myself repeatedly coming back to in the future. I’ll go over why I love this show so much in another post, but this fandom, while no stranger to at least some level of toxicity, continues to be amazing. It’s fun, accepting, diverse, weird, quirky, and is an all around enjoyable and fun fandom to be a part of. I feel like a play a part in this fandom. A rather small part, but a part nonetheless. And I know that as time goes on, I’ll be coming back off and on, purely because of how incredible it is.

Thank you so much for tagging me @1833outboy!!!
1. How many works do you have on AO3?
53!!! That's crazy!!!
2. What’s your total AO3 wordcount?
1,058,207 (heavens help me)
3. How many fandoms have you written for and what are they?
Technically only 3, I think (Fall Out Boy, Merlin and Witcher) but there are so many subtags within those fandoms that I've used to AO3 likes to pretend I have 8 fandoms listed haha
4. What are your top five fics by kudos?
A Matter of Trust, Only A Dream of the Grass Blowing, My Witcher; My Bard, Every Moon in the Sky (Every Promise and Lie), and Let's Hide Under the Covers
5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?
I used to be so good at responding to comments the day after I got them but I've gotten so bad at it now. I feel absolutely horrible. Sometimes time will pass and then I'll feel awkward replying to something from weeks or months ago. But I'm trying to do better!! Just know that I really appreciate every single comment and they all make my day so much better.
6. What’s the fic you’ve written with the angstiest ending?
"I don't often write unhappy endings," I said to myself as I pull up my ao3 page. "Surely, there won't be too many to go through!"
Uh..... Apparently, I've just forgotten about a whole handful of fics I apparently wrote at some point.
Anyway, I'll go with Stay Perfect. It's got Major Character Death and Unrequited Love tagged on it, what the fuck was I on that day.
7. Do you write crossovers? If so what’s the craziest one you’ve written?
Not really. I love the idea of characters interacting in other worlds or stories, but I don't trust myself to handle that grand of an idea, haha
8. Have you ever received hate on a fic?
I've been really lucky in that regard!! I'm still cautiously waiting in fear for that to happen-- especially since I've had friends in the same fandoms who've dealt with such stuff-- but I suppose I've been safe in my little corner of the fanfic world for now. Knock on wood and fingers crossed and all that, haha.
9. Do you write smut? If so what kind?
My first ever fic on ao3 was a smut fic because I loved the idea and was excited about the plot-- and then immediately hated writing it because I felt awkward about writing the smut. I feel like it's a thing that could be so easily messed up in a way that's so much more disastrous than other genres or tropes, so I stayed away from it for a while. But~ I've started to dip back into it here and there! I recently wrote a short piece for the witcher and already have a few more planned!
10. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
None that I'm aware of! (thank goodness!)
11. Have you ever had a fic translated?
No, but that would be so cool!
12. Have you ever co-written a fic before?
There's one I started with a friend on here a bit ago but life happened to both of us so it's a bit on hold for now
13. What’s your all-time favorite ship?
Don't make me choose, oh god. Like... I have given so much of my life and soul to Peterick but then other fandoms jumped in to punch me in the face and now I'm looking at all my different ships and it's stressing me out
14. What’s a wip that you want to finish but don’t think you ever will?
*LAUGHS*
I don't actually think I'll give an answer for this because I want to hold onto the hope that these fics will be finished someday, somehow
15. What are your writing strengths?
I like to think that I'm pretty creative with my plots. I hope other people find them as fun as I do!
I'm also really proud of the level of thought that I put into the writing itself, like symbolism or irony. Those elements come pretty naturally to me, I think, so I'd consider those strengths!
16. What are your writing weaknesses?
Any sort of high emotion or impact scene lol. So, things like smut or heavy action scenes-- both of those stress me out because I can see them so clearly in my head but the second I try to write them, it's gone. Why can't my characters just sit around and talk/ponder forever? Why do they actually have to do things?
17. What are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in a fic?
I think it's great when other people do it since it can add to the world building and feel of the fic! Personally, though, I know I'm not fluent enough to add that kind of stuff in. I'd end up relying on translating sites and that just feels like a disservice to readers who would actually know the language. Maybe if I had someone that I knew could help me, I'd feel more confident in doing that!
18. What was the first fandom you wrote for?
Don't fucking make me admit I wrote Hetalia fic in high school on ff.net, don't make me do it
19. What’s your favorite fic you’ve written?
It changes with every long fic I write, haha! I think, right now, it's We Are Like The Earth and Sky for one of the Geraskier Big Bangs. It has some of my favorite tropes, and I think it was one of the more well written fics I've posted.
Tagging whoever wants to do this because I don't know who's already done it!!

First Line Tag Game!!
I was tagged by @idontonlytalkaboutdcmk
Rules: List the first lines of your last 20 stories (if you have less than 20, just list them all). See if there are any patterns. Choose your favorite opening line, then tag 10 of your favorite authors!
I’ll try to go from more recent to older (date of the creation of the doc will be written in MM/YYYY format), but this might not correspond to the time the sentence was actually written. (I might have missed some stuff but, oh well, whatever.)
1- (04/2021) Aizawa meets Izuku AU (MHA, OS in progress)
It was luck that brought Shouta here.
2- (03/2021) Vigilante Yagi AU (MHA, in-progress, either a long-fic or a serie of OS)
All Might has been a hero longer than he has ever been Yagi Toshinori.
3- (02/2021) Dad For All AU (MHA, various blurb on tumblr so far, most likely a longfic)
Izuku was trying really hard not to panic. One second he was fighting a villain with a still unknown quirk, the next he found himself __ years in the past, according to the news report currently going on TV.
4- (02/2021) Midoriya Inko’s Guide To Good Parenthood (MHA, in progress, probably a serie of OS?)
Midoriya Inko isn’t anything special. She's 30 going on 52, has a really bad case of anxiety, can and will cry for any reasons, and has gotten so many grey hair from her son's shenanigans its a wonder she still has green hair.
5- (12/2020) The Kids Will Be Alright (DCMK, spin-off of Sharpen Your Knives)
Ran was running. Fast, fast, faster, not fast enough. She put all her strength in her legs, went as fast as she could.
6- (11/2020) Before the coffee gets cold - The Sisters (DCMK, OS published on AO3)
It was probably foolish of her to come back to this place. But, on the off chance that the rumours were true, she wanted to give it a chance.
7- (11/2020) Sharpen Your Knives (DCMK, in-progress longfic, won’t be published for a long while)
Shinichi has no idea how things could have gone so wrong, so quickly.
8- (08/2020) The Time Travel Road Trip Case (DCMK, spin-off of Who The F- Is This) (technically not the first lines, but it’s the first part I’ve written)
Shinichi(Conan) felt someone lift him up from the back, he turned his face as he came level with their chest, one look at their face and…
Well, guess he found KID.
9- (06/2020) Who The F- Is This (DCMK, longfic in progress, the first chapters are on AO3)
Shinichi’s head was throbbing. He felt like someone was playing drums with his head. What has happened?
10- (06/2020) Harrinichi Kupotter (DCMK & Harry Potter x-over, longfic in progress)
Shinichi doesn't really believe in superior beings, gods or the supernatural. So far everything in his life could be explained by science and very human tricks.
11- (03/2019) Naobuza & Raphtaku AU (The Rising of the Shield Hero & Naruto x-over, an old baby I keep coming back to)
If you were to ask anyone to tell you about Naofumi Iwatani, those who remember him would tell you that he’s a weird kid. There’s something otherwordly about him, as if he was evolving in a totally different universe from them.
12- (01/2019) The self-indulgent FMA TT au (FMA, an old project that I should go back to, someday)
Somehow, sometimes, Ed felt like there was some being out there, out for him.
13- (01/2019) Nanadaime time travel AU (Naruto, will most likely be an OS, one day I will finish it enough to post it on AO3)
It was a late night In the Hokage office, one of many. As was usual by now, the Hokage was filling paperwork at his desk, his right-hand-man filling his own number of files at his side.
14- (11/2018) Baby Ed saving the world with hugs and punches (FMA, an old project that I will go back to)
On a warm night during the summer of 2005, as the sun left it’s place for the shining stars, Edward Elric went to sleep for the last time besides his lovely wife, in the house he has rebuilt with his own two hands.
15- (06/2018) The roadtrip 03Ed never knew he needed (FMA03/CoS & Fantastic Beasts and where to find them x-over, a serie of OS)
He wasnt sure what brought him back here.
Maybe he just wanted to make sure Envy was dead, one monster less in this world. Or maybe he just wanted to make sure there was no way between both world (no way to go home.)
16- (04/2018) Badass Women Roleswap AU (FMA, I still sometime go back to it, will most likely be a serie of OS)
Ed didn’t have many memories of his father. He could remember a tall man, who always looked sad. A giant who always had trouble when it came to holding him and his brother. A figure always working in his study. A person who always looked sad when teaching them alchemy.
17- (03/2018) FMA TT fic I wasnt planning to expend (FMA, old project, I will get back to it.) (it is, also, the first fanfic idea I got when I got back into writing fics)
Nothing happened as it should have been. No matter everything they’ve done to try and stop him, the dwarf in the flask still managed to bypass it all and, in some way, reach his goal.
And that’s pretty much it for any written stuff I got (anything else is too old)
Bonus: A la recherche du canard (Looking for the duck) - it’s an old assignment I had for french class, where we had to pick an article and write a short story based on it. (When I say old, I mean it’s from 2012 - it’s a good way to see how far I’ve come). It’s honestly really bad but I did have a lot of fun back then. (This is a translated from french version btw) (yes I stole names from Hetalia I was always terrible at finding names for characters)
The sun shined upon the sleeping man face, who opened his bright blue eyes. He got up suddenly, throwing his blanket on the ground. Today would be the day where he, Alfred F. Jones, Yorkville police officer, would accomplish his mission: keeping an eye on the annual fair set-up.
So, observations: You can very clearly see me go through various fandom phases it’s funny. Also my naming skills for the AUs got slightly better (but not that much.) I do tend to drop a name (usually the person from whom the POV is) in those first sentences. The first paragraph tend to get shorter with time (which might simply be because I realised I tend to lose focus when it gets too long.) I also never start on dialogue, generally I go for the POV’s thought uh.
I do quite like the ones for the Vigilante Yagi AU and the Midoriya Inko’s guide, The Kids Will Be Alright too. Badass Women I like it but also am not 100% happy with it.
This mostly made me want to share even more about these stories to y’all.
Anyway! Tagging @whoever wants to do it! I’m not sure whom I follow has already done it/been tagged or not, uuuuhhh, maybe @artistfingers ? If you’re a writer and wants to do it then go for it and tag me I guess.

Boku Hetalia! //  “I’ve got pasta, pasta sauces, wine, pasta, fruits, and ingredients for pasta!” @phoenixtouched​
          “... I don’t know if you know this,” the speedster started, his eyes wide and full of golden sparks. “But you just described, like... My heaven.” 
          It sounded like the dinner of a lifetime, and sprock it if he was going to miss that. He figured he might have to settle for his usual dinner of five frozen pizzas (if he was patient enough, or if he could somehow schmooze one of the supers that still stuck around to make them before he got home) and had just gotten to the store to grab a bag-full more... Until he was sure he ran into a familiar face. Then again, everyone seems like a familiar face when you pass so many going a million miles an hour down the crowded, taxi-infested streets.
          Crossing his arms tightly over his chest, a bit of a sly grin on spotted cheeks, Bart continued, “It would be a shame to have all that pasta go to waste. I mean, if you’re really planning on making all that, you’re gonna have a crap-load of leftovers.” With a slight flourish, he gestured to himself, bowing slightly just at his hips. “If you need a living garbage disposal, I nominate me.”

Lost and Found [Part Six]
Masterlist | Ao3
It took Damian almost a month to realize what was going on. In his defense, the app Tim programmed for the bracelet only alerted Damian when her blood pressure or heart rate got too low. It did not, however, alert Damian when the bracelet went offline.
It was two AM on a brisk October morning when Damian discovered this. He had just gotten back from patrol with Stephanie and Tim. Father hadn't gone, as he had a charity dinner to attend. It had been a good night for crime-fighting. Two robberies stopped with no bloodshed to either the criminals or the bats. Stephanie slipped upstairs as soon as they got back, but Damian and Tim lingered, Tim still working on a case, and Damian cleaning his gear. As soon as the last knife was sharpened and put away, Damian pulled his phone out and tried to open up his messaging app to see if Jon was still awake when his thumb slipped and pressed the wrong app by mistake. It was Tim's app, the one he programmed for Damian, named (rather un-creatively, in Damian's opinion) Bracelet Monitor. Curious to see how her vitals were doing, Damian waited for the screen to load. Except, once it did, nothing happened. 
"Drake?" Damian called out across the cave. "Something went wrong with that app you made."
"What do you mean?" Tim asked, already walking over. He plucked the phone out of Damian's hands and started rapidly tapping the screen. "This isn't good," Tim muttered.
"What do you mean 'not good'. You said it would alert me if there was a significant change in the vitals."
"It would alert you. The vitals aren't the problem. The bracelet is somehow offline." Tim grew more and more frustrated as he dug deeper into the app. "I just accessed the data records. It's been going offline sporadically for over a month, which should be impossible. The only way it should stop working is if it lost power, which it didn't do because it would have alerted me when it came back online. It's like it just stops existing, for anywhere from a few minutes to hours."
"Is she in trouble?" Damian questioned, already ready to get on a plane and fly to wherever she was in order to protect her.
"I'm not sure..." Tim's voice trailed off, only for him to brighten up a moment later. "The bracelet came back online. Her vitals are good, though her heart rate and blood pressure are both a little higher than her baseline. In fact, it seems like her heartrate always elevated right before the bracelet goes offline and right after it comes back online. This is just baffling." Tim handed Damian his phone, the vitals pulled up onto the screen. "Here's your phone back. I'll look into it more tomorrow."
"Wait." Tim was about to walk out of the cave when Damian stopped him. "Should we activate the GPS. See where she is so we can make sure that she's safe."
Tim looked hesitant. "Give me a few days Damian. Make that our last resort, because if your soulmate is anything like you, I don't want to be the one to explain to her that I enabled your stalking tendencies."
"I don't have stalking tendencies," grumbled Damian.
"Tell that to the heart rate monitor, blood pressure monitor, and GPS tracker embedded in the first gift you ever gave to her." Tim's voice wasn't necessarily condemning Damian, but he knew better than to push the matter with Tim.
Damian shook his head and followed Tim upstairs. Patience is a virtue, after all, Damian reminded himself. Someday I'll hold her in my arms and she'll be safe and sound and this will all be worth it.
——————————————————————
A few days turned into a few months as Tim continually postponed his defeat. Both Damian and Tim could see that Tim wasn't making progress, and by the time January came around, both Damian and Tim were getting desperate. Damian, because his soulmate's bracelet was still going offline, unpredictably, but with increasing frequency. Tim, because he had never before had such a tech malfunction where he couldn't action find the source of the problem. 
One night, while Tim was working on the bracelet's programming in the Batcave, he simply turned away from the computer and said, "I give up."
Damian, who was in the middle of sparring Grayson, said without hesitation, "Than give me access to the GPS."
"Look, Damian, I know that when I first made it I offered you that option, but I don't think it's a good idea anymore."
"It's the only idea we have for guaranteeing her safety." Damian threw a punch and dodged to the left, barely missing a crack to the ribs by Graysons escrima sticks.
"Relationships are supposed to be built on trust, not one person invading the privacy of the other."
"I'm not breaking her trust, I'm trying to keep her safe. She could be abused or kidnapped or-" Damian blocked the punch Grayson threw but got his legs swept out from under him.
"Focus, Damian," Grayson scolded once Damian got up off the mat. "You can't let yourself get distracted in a real fight."
"I'm only distracted because Drake refuses to show me the location of my Soulmate. She might be in danger, and you refuse to do anything to help," Damian snapped.
"C'mon, walk with me." Grayson grabbed Damian by the arm and pulled him out of the Batcave.
"Let go of me, Grayson." Damian ripped his arm out of Grayson's grip, but still kept up with the older man as they walked through the Manor to the kitchen. Outside the snow was falling. It was one week until Christmas, and Damian mentally reminded himself to ask his Soulmate if she celebrated Christmas before he wrapped the gift. After all, it would be awkward to send it to her only to learn that she didn't really want it.
"So how are things with your Soulmate?" Grayson asked as he pulled out ingredients for hot cocoa. 
Damian gritted his teeth. "I've already told Tim. She is unsafe and I would like to rectify that by knowing her location."
"How will that help?"
"What do you mean?"
Grayson turned the stove on. "How will knowing her location help you protect her."
"It just will. If I can track her location I'll be able to make sure she isn't getting into trouble." It wasn't until Grayson turned around with a frown on his face that Damian realized the connotation of her words. "Not like that," he protested. "I don't want to control her. I just want to keep her safe."
"Damian, trust is vital in a relationship. You have to trust that she can keep herself safe."
"You might have a point," Damian conceded. He was still shocked by his earlier comment. He didn't want to be the controlling Soulmate. He wanted her to feel free, to feel independent. He didn't want to hurt her by keeping her safe.
"How often do you communicate with her?" Grayson stirred the cocoa in the pan.
"A couple of notes every day."
"And when you ask her how she's doing, what does she say?"
"She has her good days and her bad days, but overall she seems happy."
"If she says she's okay, I think you have to believe her. I think that's the only way you can make it work." Grayson poured the cocoa into cups. "Did you know that Bruce offered to find my Soulmate for me when he first adopted me."
Damian shook his head.
"I told him no, I wanted to find my Soulmate the natural way. And I did. I met Babs and we became friends even before we knew that we were Soulmates. And Lord knows I wanted to keep her safe after she got into fighting crime. But even though she got hurt, I don't regret the fact that she became Batgirl. Because she doesn't regret the fact that she became Batgirl. I trusted Babs to make her own decision, and no matter the consequences, trust is always the right decision."
"You're right," said Damian. "I haven't been treating my Soulmate very fairly."
Dick set the cocoa down in front of Damian. "Just remember that your Soulmate is her own person too. You have to give her her own choice, even if the choice she ends up making isn't what you wanted."
Damian took a sip, savoring the flavor. "It's good. Thank you, Grayson."
"No problem."
——————————————————————
"...But Richard talked me out of it," Damian explained to Jon over video chat. He'd been talking to his best friend for over an hour, trying to explain the revelation that had come over him. "I can't believe I said that I wanted to 'keep her out of trouble'. Even hearing it now, I cringe over how controlling it sounds. I thought that everything I was saying was rational, but then it was like someone flipped a switch inside my brain and suddenly all my creepy stalker behavior no longer makes sense. I can't justify the bracelet anymore. Now it just feels like an invasion of her privacy.
"Can you turn the bracelet off? Have it just be a normal bracelet?" asked Jon
"I'm going to ask Timothy to deactivate everything tomorrow. When I meet her in person, I'll apologize for monitoring her without her consent. It wouldn't be fair to try and keep what I did a secret from her."
"That's good. I think you're making the right choice."
Damian wasn't sure what to say. "Thank you. I suppose."
"You're welcome, Damian. By the way, I don't know if Tim has told you yet, but Connor and I are spending half of Christmas break at Wayne Manor."
Damian perked up. "You are?"
"Yep. And while I know you're morally opposed to video games, I'm still bringing some and you're going to play them with me, whether you like it or not."
"Fine, but only if you come on patrol with me," Damian sighed dramatically.
"Of course. I can't wait!"
Jon's smile was contagious. Damian couldn't hold back the twitch of his lips. He was glad he had a best friend.

Do you have any headcanons for any asian characters in hetalia?
Thanks for the ask anon!
The Asians (as a group and individually) have my heart so you can expect a lot of headcanons for them. I’ve posted a list of China headcanons here (scroll down and you’ll find them eventually), but I’ll probably put new ones in this ask too. Anyway:
- All the Asians love to take food pictures! I know this is a “fashionable thing” to do all over the world nowadays, but I feel like the Asian countries are like the epitome of food pictures. Taiwan, HK, Japan, South Korea, and maybe Macau would do this the most. They’d probably run a joint social media account just for food pictures (as well as food selfies, since they’re all super photogenic). I also think they might compete with each other to take the best pictures, and have people vote on whose is the best?? 
Also just imagine China cooking the food for them and then all the young’uns crowding around the plate taking pictures for a long time, after 5 minutes they hear China yell “Hey! The food’s going to get cold if you don’t start EATING!” *mutters “Sheesh, they’re too phone addicted”*
- A lot of people headcanon Yao/China as the boomer of the Asians (and in general), and make him like an old man not knowing how to use a phone and everything. But… literally, real China has so much social media and internet stuff, like they’ve literally almost phased out using cash because everyone just pays for stuff using WeChat on their phones… like literally, this stuff is way ahead of America’s cash rn, so I think China would be able to absorb his people’s phone/internet prowess and not be so “boomer-y” like everyone thinks?? I have to admit that the boomer China situation would be pretty funny but I just don’t think it’s very realistic?
- Ok this part is just a rant about South Korea. WHy in the worLd does he need to be all perverted???? Like why is he so obsessed with people’s body parts/breasts???? Like what, why can you not make him a normal person who is a tech savvy enthusiastic photogenic Asian who is definitely a nerdy jock (if those exist) instead of some random groper??? Ok anyway, I’ve got no idea what’s up with canon SK but I think he’d be like the Denmark in the asians? Very excitable, friendly, and overall gives off cool vibes. Also I think he just pretends to be dumb sometimes to make people laugh, but can read the mood pretty well even if people don’t think he can. He’s also pretty smart and good with technology, and can strike up conversations with a lot of people really quickly (this also leads to him getting a lot of connections if it’s in a Human AU) Overall, I think modern day SK’s got his heart in the right place, he just might mess up a few times.
- Ancient Times: the Asians in history are kinda complicated, because a) HK, Taiwan, and Macau are pretty much irrelevant right now, b) I am clueless about Southeast Asian history so idk what Thailand and Vietnam are doing at that time, and c) China, Japan, and Korea weren’t exactly friends all the time (and they weren’t really friends from WWI to the Korean War). Also to complicate stuff, Korea had three kingdoms: Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla; Silla apparently took over the other two later (with the help of the Chinese Tang dynasty) and became Unified Korea, and then the Korean War happened and it split again. So, idk what’s up with them (canon makes it more complicated because China took in Japan, I assume he would’ve taken Korea or the 3 kingdoms in as well because there’s a lot of shared history/trade/alliances between those three). There’s a lot of backstabbing and wars and stuff, some between China and Japan, some between China and Korea vs Japan, some between Korea and Japan, etc. If the countries were physically kids, I guess you could reason it out that they were just small bastards who were really rowdy and liked to fight, but I think that at least China would have been in his late teens/early 20s, and he took in Japan before most of the wars, so maybe that’s just Japan being a rebellious kid? Idk man East Asian history is complicated
- I think the young’uns are all fans of something (I think Japan and HK and maybe Taiwan are anime/manga fans, and SK likes his kpop idols) and they always get China to come along with them resignedly, to a convention or concert or whatever. But let’s be real, he hates on the others’ stuff but watches his own tv dramas just fine (although he hates the characters’ decisions a lot and rants a lot too)
- They get so competitive during sports! Especially at big things like the Olympics, or any international ____ competition (like swimming or something with lots of events). I think everybody would roast China for always failing soccer at FIFA (mens or womens) even if they themselves didn’t get in (usually Japan and Korea qualify, and they might even make it to like round of 8 or something). Other events, they’d just root for their own team and possibly make bets as to who’s going to win.
- I don’t know why China doesn’t have glasses in his design because literally so many people are nearsighted!!! (me included hhh) but idk I guess an explanation is he used to wear them and then was teased by his kids for being an old grandpa so he got contacts instead or something
- And because of genetics or something I think HK and Taiwan would also have nearsightedness but (I think in Taiwan at least) the trend is to get laser eye surgery, so I think both of them would’ve gotten it so they could keep looking cOoL (or something)
- All of them like TEA of some kind. Japan and China prefer to stick with the normal tea (brewed with tea leaves and stuff) but Taiwan loves bubble tea, and HK and Korea prefer iced tea more? But I think they’d all be able to switch between different types and not complain (except China, the old man)
- If China forgot he had a meeting scheduled and on that day, he invited all the others to his house, I think he’d begrudgingly put Japan in charge and leave, but I think Japan would let the others do whatever they want (he lowkey loves pranking China) and by the time China is back the house would either be wrecked or they’d went through all his stuff and now have a hoard of private things to ask him. China would throw them all out and then somehow find a way to get back at Japan
- I read a headcanon somewhere that they all think their own cooking is the best, and that would be very funny to write, but I think at dinners and stuff they’d all bring their favorite dish and just share, because nostalgia, sometimes they just feel like eating stuff that reminds them of their past or when they were at ____’s house (eg. Japan and Korea with Chinese food, Taiwan with Japanese food, etc.)
- Lots of family arguing and mutual pranks
- Lots and lots of low and high key roasts and lots of sarcasm (especially from the older ones). 
Taiwan: “How do you think this dress looks?” 
China: “Like you took fashion advice as bad as England’s cooking”
Japan: “I hate to say this, but China is 100% on point.”
Taiwan: D:
- Disapproval of clothing! China arguing at his kids that their clothes are too unconservative or show too much skin or something, and his kids arguing back that he dresses like he blindly picked out clothes without opening his eyes
OK yeah that’s it thanks for listening if you made it down here! I was originally intending to include Thailand and Macau and Vietnam but then realized I have next to nothing for them so… I’m sorry if you wanted some about them! Take my humblest apologies. Anyway, you probably noticed the Asians have my heart and definitely ask for more if you want! I’d never deny the chance to think about what dumb stuff they’d do lol

I may or may not have forgotten to post this chapter here for a while... Anyway, there are 5 references to other pieces of Hetalia work, see if you can get them all right. 
https://archiveofourown.org/works/18923374/chapters/57211975

♡~Feli~♡: No ♡~Feli~♡: Im already fat enough i dont deserve more food
Ludwig: Feliciano Ludwig: Losing weight isn't about not eating at all Ludwig: Not that you have any to lose, you look perfectly fit in your pictures Ludwig: Once you stop crying go eat something Ludwig: You will feel much better
♡~Feli~♡: But ill still be fat and ill still have this stupid baby face
Ludwig: They are alright Feliciano Ludwig: They are barely noticable Ludwig: Now will you please go eat something
♡~Feli~♡: Okay
Ludwig: Good Ludwig: I am worried about you, do you think we could have another video call?
♡~Feli~♡: Let me dry my tears first
Feliciano took his time calming down. He made himself some tea and grabbed the leftover pizza from the fridge. Today, he was alone in the house, a feeling that worsened his melancholy. There was no one to hold him and cuddle him and tell him that things are okay. There was no one to yell at him and tell him to pull himself together and do something useful in life before whispering to him that he's beautiful. Feliciano craved those moments today.
He didn't even warm up his pizza before eating it like it was straight out of a famous Italian restaurant. His tea left forgotten as he dined, only the soft smell of cinnamon strong enough to calm his nerves down. It wasn't the time to be depressed, he had Ludwig to talk to. Finishing off his pizza, he grabbed his tea and retreated to his room, turning on Skype.
♡~Feli~♡: Okay im calm you can skype me now
Ludwig: Alright, let me just turn on my laptop
A few minutes later, Feliciano got the Skype notification on his computer. Accepting the call, he was met with the usual Ludwig business, bringing a smile to his face.
Ludwig was dressed properly, nothing too fancy, but also not in pajamas like Feliciano was. His hair was neatly slicked back and his room as tidy as always. Same couldn't be said about Feliciano.
On top of wearing pj's all day everyday, Feliciano was tightly wrapped up in a thick blanket like it was in the middle of winter and not plain old May. His eyes were still noticeably red and puffy, but Ludwig wouldn't comment on that even if it killed him. To add to the sad wintery atmosphere Feliciano had going on, between his hands, he was cuddling a colorful cup covered in stars.
Said cup was the first thing Feliciano noticed Ludwig was staring at. "Do you like it? I made it myself when I was a kid." He smiled.
Ludwig nodded, clearing his throat. "Yes. It really fits you, I must admit."
Feliciano giggled, feeling a bit of a sting from his eyes. He will probably have a headache in the morning.
"Are you feeling better?" Ludwig continued. "Did you eat anything?"
Feliciano nodded. "I had some leftover pizza so I ate that. And now I'm drinking tea to feel good about myself."
"Good. That is good."
"I guess."
"Do you feel better now that you had something to eat?" Ludwig asked, his concern for Feliciano noticeable in his voice.
"Yeah, I think. Sorry I worried you like that."
"Don't be. If anything, I am glad that you spoke to me about it. I know how you feel. I was a chubby kid too."
"How did you lose weight?"
"I didn't. Growing up, my weight just transferred into muscles and I trained for a while. None of it went away."
"Well, that's comforting." Feliciano sighed sadly. "I can't keep a training schedule to save my life. Especially now that I am out of school and do nothing all day."
"You just need something to push you to do it." Ludwig said. "How about a dare?"
"A dare? Are we playing truth or dare?"
"We can if you want to."
"Okay. What's your dare?"
"I dare you to do 3 pushups every day for the next month."
Feliciano nearly spat out some of the tea he was drinking. "Three?! I can barely do 1!"
"It is a dare, you have to do it." Ludwig almost smirked.
"Only if you do something as well."
Ludwig was about to start regretting his decision. "What is it?"
Feliciano thought hard for a while, before coming up with a challenge long and hard enough for Ludwig to do it. "You told me once you weren't much of an artist."
"Yes." Ludwig was definitely regretting playing this game.
"I want you to paint me a picture of what made you happy that day. Every day. For the next month." Feliciano smirked.
"Does it have to be a painting?" Ludwig meekly asked. "You know how busy my schedule is."
"No, but it has to be colorful. And I want them sent to me by 11 p.m. ever day."
"You really like challenges, don't you?"
"You dared me first. Now you have to do it too."
"Fine." Ludwig relaxed in his chair. "It is my turn I believe." He took his time thinking about the perfect question. "If you could only see one color for the rest of your life, which one would it be?"
Taken a bit by surprise, Feliciano thought for a while, looking around to spot a color which stood out the most to him. The sea was calm today, that got his attention, so calm it was almost calling for him, so, so very... "Blue." He said out loud, without realizing it.
"Somehow that doesn't surprise me." Ludwig's voice pulled Feliciano out of his trance. "I would like to see brown mostly."
Feliciano's face almost twisted at the word brown. Why brown? It doesn't even stand out that much in nature, it's just darker orange and an ugly mix of colors together. "Why?"
Ludwig smiled. "My dogs are mostly brown." Well that explained a lot.
"I should have expected that." Feliciano laughed. "My turn. Have you ever had a girlfriend?"
An awkward question to ask Ludwig, Feliciano noticed. His cheeks have gotten a shade or two darker than usual, something that would probably go unnoticeable if he wasn't so pale. Regardless, Feliciano just had to know.
Ludwig breathed in. "No. I don't even have a female friend that isn't family to me."
"You've never dated?" Feliciano asked in surprise. And Ludwig was so good looking?
Ludwig shook his head, slightly embarrassed. "I get it that I haven't, but you? Look," Feliciano started, "when I come to Germany, we'll go hunting for ladies so that neither of us are single ever again, okay?"
It was no use in arguing over girls with Feliciano, so Ludwig just gave in. "Why are you so obsessed with them anyway?"
"Is that the next question?" Feliciano asked.
"Yes."
Feliciano thought for a bit. "I think it's because I have multiple personalities living inside of me." He pointed to his chest. "One is your regular flirty Italian, the other is a sad bastard and the third one is just a huge lesbian."
Ludwig laughed, but Feliciano continued. "I think we all have a female part inside of us, mine just happens to like girls more than normal."
"Okay, if you say so." Ludwig still had to recover from his laughing fit.
"Also, lately I've been having these strange dreams. Like, one time I dreamed I was stuck in a dreamworld and it was all really beautiful and nice, but I would die if I stayed for too long. And you were coming to save me." Feliciano rambled. "Would you come save me from the dreamworld, Ludwig?"
"Of course I would." Truth to be told, Ludwig wasn't following Feliciano much.
"Aw, thank you. Anyway, that's not even the weirdest. I dreamed about this guy Steve one time, only he wasn't actually a guy but some alien creature. And he had this big mansion and I was stuck in there and I couldn't escape and it was so horrifying." Feliciano shivered at the memory of his dream.
"I must admit that it does sound horrifying. Especially if you happen to be claustrophobic." Ludwig said. "Now that you mention it, I've been having some strange dreams as well. And for some reason, you are always in them."
That peaked Feliciano's interest. Not that he wasn't interested in the first place. "Oh, I wanna hear! I wanna hear!"
"Well, one time I was a pilot during World War 2 and I was stationed in Italy and I met you, but then something happened and I had to leave. My plane crashed and I was imprisoned and you came to save me, then..." Ludwig stopped. "I don't recall what happened next, but it ended nicely, I think. I just remember flying a Messerschmitt Bf 109."
"Mrs. What?" Feliciano asked.
"Messerschmitt. It was a German fighter plane in World War 2. It was a rival plane to Spitfire and had a yellow nose."
Feliciano laughed. "I'll forget it's name, but at least I'll know it had a yellow nose."
"That is all you need to know." Ludwig continued. "Then I had another dream and it was poker themed. I was the king of hearts and you were my queen. That is pretty much all I remember from it."
"You must think so highly of me to make me your queen, I'm flattered." Feliciano giggled. "What do you think these dreams mean?"
"No idea, but I wish I knew. Maybe, they represent our bond with each other as friends."
"Maybe. Maybe they are telling us of our past lives and all that. Like your war one."
"I want to stop you because if you start talking like that, we will never leave the topic of dreams."
Feliciano laughed, glad that Ludwig was listening to him by stopping him from going too far with his talking. "When will you come to Italy, Ludwig? We could have so much fun."
"As soon as I have some more free time, I will pay you a visit."
"Yes! We can go on tour of Rome and I could show you the Colosseum and The Pantheon and Bocca della Verita and I could show you our beaches and we would have so much fun!"
"You sound like you have already planned everything out."
"That's just one possibility. I could give you a tour of all of Italy if you want. You just have to come here first."
Ludwig attempted his nicest smile. And failed. Feliciano was so excited about all of this. "Would you show me the Rialto Bridge as well?"
It would be a lie to say Feliciano's eyes didn't glow at this point. "Of course I would! And maybe you can bring your girlfriend, if you get one in time, and you can do the kiss scene from the book! You can even get married! Can I be your best man, please?"
"You will have to fight Gilbert for that position. I doubt he would just give it away."
"Gilbert, you are a worthy opponent. But I must take you down for the sake of providing myself the glorious Best Man position." Feliciano delivered the speech. "I can do best wedding speeches, I think Gilbert is already losing."
"We will see." Ludwig laughed. "But wouldn't you want to be your brother's best man?"
"I'm the odd one out, they got each other. Aside from you, I don't have much options on who else to have as my best man." Feliciano sighed.
"Well, that is really sad. I probably won't marry at all, so if you get married, I can still be your best man." Ludwig said.
"Really? You'd do that for me?"
"Yes."
"But what about Gilbert?"
"I admire you for believing that he would get married, but I doubt that would be the case."
"Harsh truth." Feliciano laughed. "I hope Lovi can get married. If not here, he could get married somewhere else."
"One day it might be possible."
"One day when the world isn't as hateful as now. I think he'll hate having to be married outside of Italy."
Silence fell upon them, just as the front door of Feliciano's house slammed shut. A soft, but loud voice could be heard. "Feli! I'm home!"
"Romeo is home. I'm not alone anymore." Feliciano commented.
"Do I suddenly not exist?" Ludwig asked, a bit offended by Feliciano's statement.
"No! I meant that I'm not home alone anymore. Don't go anywhere, I'd be sad if you stopped existing." Feliciano corrected himself.
A sound of footsteps coming up the stairs could be heard, but Feliciano failed to hear them.
"I won't be going anywhere then." Ludwig said, just as the door to Feliciano's room opened.
"Hi Feli." Romeo greeted. "Who are you talking to?"
Feliciano jumped slightly as the door opened, but smiled to his brother. "Ludwig. Come say hi."
Romeo did as he was told and greeted Ludwig. "Hi Lud."
"Hello." Came a response.
"Feli, nonno said he'll be coming home the day after tomorrow. We should probably prepare Lovi just in case." Romeo said.
"Good idea. I'll be down when we're done and we can plan the thing out." Feliciano responded and Romeo left him to wrap things up with Ludwig.
"So nonno is coming home soon. Which is bad. And we need to prepare Lovi for it. Which is worse." Feliciano explained the situation to Ludwig, seeing as the latter didn't know much Italian.
"I see. Basically, you get to be a pigeon again." Ludwig remarked.
Feliciano laughed, partially glad Ludwig still remembered that from a couple of months ago. "Probably. Maybe it works out okay in the end, but I doubt it."
"I am here whenever you need me. Except when I am at college or at work, but other than that..."
"Thanks." Feliciano laughed. "I gotta go. Me and Romeo have to plan this out carefully."
"Before you do, it is Romeo and I. Remember it."
"Yes, yes, Romeo and I, okay. Talk to you later, Ludwig!" Feliciano said, waving goodbye to Ludwig.
"Good luck!" Ludwig simply said and gave Feliciano a small wave before ending the call. They talked for good 3 hours, but to Feliciano it only felt like a couple of minutes.
He walked downstairs to discuss things with Romeo. Getting his brother and grandfather in the same room again won't be easy and Feliciano just hoped it would turn out okay in the end.

And So, We Meet Again
Title: And So, We Meet Again
Fandom: Hetalia
Pairing(s): Gerita
Summary: Sequel to Hetaween event day 8
Germany hadn’t forgotten about his old friend. Yes, that man was still fresh in his mind. The truth is, Germany hadn’t really gotten over having to send him away like that; not to the extent that he’d let himself go, but just thinking about that day was enough to almost make him break down into tears (And he has a few times, actually). Of course, he did his best to keep going and not fall apart, because that’s what Italy would want, right? As he settled in for the night, he dreaded having to go to sleep. Over and over, that day would replay in his mind, and over and over, he found himself unable to fall back asleep. He knew he couldn’t stay awake forever, so he reluctantly allowed himself to drift off into slumber.
Upon opening his eyes, Germany did not see his room’s ceiling, like he had expected. He instead found himself staring straight up into the sky, which obscured by thick, gray clouds. The surface underneath him was wobbly, prompting him to sit up only to realize that he was just lying face up in a gondola. He carefully lifted himself onto a nearby deck and simply wandered around. Frankly, Germany couldn’t help but feel a little concerned. None of his dreams were ever as vague and empty as this one. This place reminded him of a certain city that he had visited a few times; but the complete absence of any sort of life made him feel somewhat afraid, afraid that some horrible Eldritch abomination would pop out of an alley or emerge from one of the many canals and end him. Germany prepared himself to run.
And he soon did find himself running. Not from a creature, no; just to find refuge from the raging storm he was stuck in. Without thinking, he ran into the nearest unlocked building, shutting the door behind him. Now that he had this problem solved, Germany had bigger concerns to address. Where the hell is he? Where is anyone else? Is this even real?
He was snapped out of his thoughts by the sound of a door closing from elsewhere in the building. “Hello,” he called out and immediately regretted. Why the hell did he decide to do that? What an absolute horror-movie-protagonist move he just made. “W-who’s there,” someone else called out. “I have a spoon and I’m not afraid to use it!” Germany thought for a second. Would he really want to confront this person? He’s unarmed, and this mystery person has a spoon; that wouldn’t be a fair fight, would it? So caught up in his thoughts, he was, that he didn’t hear the person running down the stairs until it was too late. And as he prepared to aim for the head, he saw that the person was not some dangerous menace. 
It was Italy.
“Germany...”
“Italy...”
“Germany...!” Italy ran to him and clung onto him, pressing kisses on any part of Germany’s face he could reach. “It’s been so long! I missed you so much! I thought I’d never see you again and-Germany?” Germany noticed that his vision was getting blurry; he hadn’t realized that he’d started crying until he rubbed his eyes. “I’m sorry,” he muttered as he wiped the tears from his face.
“Shh, it’s okay, you did nothing wrong.”
“...You’re not...mad at me?” Italy blinked in confusion before realizing what Germany meant. “I was a little mad at first,” he said. “But I understand why you had to. It...still hurt, though.” Germany nuzzled into Italy’s hair. Despite Italy being smaller than him, Germany felt safe in his embrace. “Germany, I feel like I should tell you this...your brother’s wrong about me.”
“What?”
“I’m not imaginary. I was real once. Me and my brother were both Italy, during all that time when our country was just a bunch of smaller states.” Italy frowned. “But when our country unified, there could only be one of us...so I ended up disappearing. But when I disappeared off the face of the Earth, I apparently disappeared from everyone’s memories too...”
“You’ve met the others?”
“Yep! Austria, Hungary, Prussia, and many more...I’ve met them all!” Italy’s frown deepened. “But they all seemed to have forgotten about me. I know my brother remembers, but he denies that I ever existed. You’re the first one in so long who noticed me...that’s why I didn’t want to leave your side.” Italy trembled in Germany’s arms, his breaths becoming shaky. “It’s lonely here...I want you to stay but I know that you can’t.”
“Italy?”
“Hmm?”
“...I love you.” Feeling unusually bold but still shy, he gave Italy a chaste kiss on the lips. His face flushed and his eyes slightly glassy, Italy smiled. “I love you more.” He buried his face in Germany’s chest, a single tear rolling down his cheek. “If only we could stay together forever and ever...Wait-Germany, you’re fading!” Germany looked down at his transparent arms. “Why now,” he said, very disgruntled. “I’m sorry...I want to stay, but...” Italy cut him off. “I know. Hey, promise me we’ll meet again!”
“I promise.” Germany was engulfed in a warm and fuzzy feeling and his vision was becoming hazy. The last thing he saw was Italy smiling tearfully, before blowing Germany a kiss.
He opened his eyes, his vision greeted by the off-white ceiling of his bedroom. Sitting up, he looked around. He was certainly back in his bed. But he had no way of knowing whether all of what had happened was just a dream, or somehow...real. A dull ache formed in Germany’s chest, his face heating up as tears flooded his vision. Letting go of all his in bottled up emotions, he put his face in his hands and wept.
He didn’t care if he was going crazy. If this was insanity, he would rather not be saved. He could only pray that someday, he and his love would united, together forevermore.

Writing Commissions {open}
As most of my followers know already, my laptop very recently broke, and I haven't been able to write as frequently or in as much volume as I usually do. 
At the same time I've been going through a rather hard time, and writing is one of my main coping mechanisms, how I leech myself of toxic emotions and relax, do something productive with my anxiety and depression. 
Thanks to my broken laptop, I have not been able to cope productively or in any healthy way at all, which is not good for me, but it has taken a LOT longer than expected to save the money I need to replace my laptop.
So, I made the decision to open writing commissions. I imagine I'd get more luck if I was an artist, but alas, I am not, so here I go shooting my shot. If you're not interested, don't feel bad about ignoring this post. I'll add the information in a "read more", as it will likely be a long post.
Feel free to reblog this if you want, but you are under no obligation to do so.
~~~~~
You can call me Nico (formerly amelia vale). I've been writing regularly for about 10+ years with a small handful of local college writing courses under my belt (I actually won an award in my first creative writing course. It was a college course and I believe I was 13 or 14 at the time (my charter school allowed me to take college classes while still in highschool)). I've also won a few local essay contests in my town, which probably doesn't mean much, but that's my history.
In my time writing I've finished 11+ novels (some of which reached 50 chapters+, and some which are not posted anywhere online yeet), and over 30 one shots, drabbles, and novellas, with a handful of in-progress novels and shorter fanfictions. I've written both fanfiction and original novels of varying genres.
I am by no means an expert in my craft, and while I do dream of publishing professionally some day, I am nowhere near that goal. I'm certainly hyping myself up, but I just wanted to express the experience I have with writing in general to assure possible consumers that I at least 89% know what I'm doing 🙃 I've also already done a few writing commissions in the past, which can be found on my DeviantArt, but you can find more recent examples of my work on Wattpad and Ao3.
Fandoms I've written for: Harry Potter, The Cursed Child, Riordanverse (notably PJO, HoO, and Magnus Chase), OHSHC, Voltron: Legendary Defender, One Piece, Hetalia.
Note that my main focus currently is Harry Potter and the Cursed Child (Jeddy and Jegulus mostly) but I have some experience writing in the fandoms above, though not all of those fics are posted online, and not all of them are incredibly recent.
I'm comfortable and have experience writing in an assortment of genres and themes, including smutty or sexual themes, incredibly graphic and triggering themes including r@pe, assault, abuse, neglect, torture, self harm, suicide (please note I wrote these themes as a form of therapy, not cuz I'm creepy), fluff, whump, dystopia, post apocalyptic, werewolf, vampire, etc (please ask if you want to know if I've written in a specific genre or theme not listed).
*important: just because an author may write something, does not mean they support that theme. I've written about graphic violence, r@pe, and racism, but I do not in any way support that crap.
Most Recent Examples of my Writing:
Chances || Venom || Broken Doll (rated E, very graphic)
Examples of Smut/Sexually Themed fics:
Say My Name || Chances || Rythmn of the Night (wattpad) || Encantador de Serpientes (wattpad)
Examples of Original Work:
Pigment || What Happens in Vienna || Love at First Crepe
Fanfic Examples:
The Hyacinth Prophecy(PJO) || Road to Ruin(PJO) || Serpentine Curse(PJO/Magnus Chase) || Make Peace(VLD) || Something Just Like This(VLD) || Stupid Deep(HP) || Recovery(HP) 
So if you've gotten through all the above 👆👆👆👆 (it was actually lowkey stressful to write cuz I'm very bad at complimenting myself, A for effort) and still are curious or interested in commissioning, then below are prices, things I will and won't write, payment methods, etc:
Things I won't write: 
incest, pedophilia, graphic depictions of r@pe or any form of sexual assault, marginalization of a race or group I have no personal affiliation with* (I won't write about a black woman enduring racism because I am not a black woman, etc), underage relationships (both characters must be over 19, unless it's a strictly familial fic).
*I will happily write a black character or any other race/minority, but I do not believe I have any right to add in their racial experiences as I have not experienced them for myself, and that would be wildly insensitive of me. I've written about marginalization from a second perspective before, but I had a lot of help from a POC reader while I was writing.
Things I will write:
fluff, smut (within reason plz), whump, romance, familial, Original work, OCs, fanfiction*, pretty much everything else that isn't in the "won't" list. I'm pretty flexible.
*Disclaimer: All characters in any of the fanfiction I write belong to their respective owners, and I claim no rights to them or to their individual stories. I do not own any of the properties, I am simply producing fan works based on or inspired by them.
Prices:
$15 - for fics under 3k
$20 - for anything over 3k words
$30 - $40 - for smut (smut is extra because I don't write it a whole lot, but I CAN write it, and normally smut fics end up much longer than general fics) 
*MUST BE 17+ TO COMMISSION SMUT (if your age isn't already in your bio I have every right to decline the commission. I just don't feel comfortable writing smut for anyone under 17. I know youngins will read it anyway, but this is just a personal pet peeve of mine)
Payment Methods:
You can pay either through Ko-fi or PayPal, whichever you prefer.
Rules:
PLEASE be kind and respectful to me.
Stay in contact with me as MUCH as possible.
I prefer a lot of communication, especially during my writing process, as I want to be sure I get every detail of the fic right for you.
Full payment upfront (this may change later, but currently I would prefer it upfront)
I do not have a time limit on my writing, that kind of thing stresses me out and my writing quality suffers, which commissioners do not deserve. I can however guarantee that I WILL finish your fic.
Please do not increasingly pester or ask me if the fic is finished or how it's going, I promise I will give updates when they are necessary.
The more enthusiasm and details you give regarding the kind of fic you want, the faster I will finish, because I'll probably get just as excited as you. Basically hype me on the theme and I'll be dying to finish.
I need money because I need a new laptop but I still want this to be fun for me, and for whoever commissions me.
I have a right to refuse any commission request without explanation.
This is NOT first come first serve. I will choose the commissions I feel I can do my best on to ensure you get the best quality writing.
Due to the fact I have a fulltime job already, and I can't write that much on my phone or tablet, and the fact I'm saving up to buy a laptop, I will only be taking two commissions at a time, so as not to overload myself and so I can provide a piece of writing to the best of my abilities. When I finish those two commissions, I will reopen these again, until I've saved enough for a laptop. I figure between commissions and work, I could afford one… maybe February if I'm lucky.
After which I will likely shut down commissions (unless something super serious comes up again).
Slots:
#1:
#2:
CONTACT:
You can DM me on Tumblr or email me at [email protected]
If you do not want to commission me, or can't commission me because you are also broke (same bro) then feel free to reblog if you want (you have no obligation to).
If you still want to support me somehow but can't afford that much, you can donate to my Ko-fi. I actually don't drink coffee, I drink tea, so I'll have to change the caption from "buy me a coffee" to something else, but yeah.
Thank you greatly to the people who read this far, even if you don't commission. I appreciate all of my followers and whoever decides to help, as well as people who can't. I know commissions are a luxury, so if you can't afford it, don't feel bad, you don't need to apologize, cuz that makes me feel bad too. It's totally okay.
And for people going through a similar crisis, hang in there. It can only be shit for so long after all.
NOTE: COMMISSIONS DO NOT INCLUDE PROMPTS THAT HAVE ALREADY BEEN SENT TO ME, so if you have sent in prompts in the past, THEY ARE NOT COMMISSIONS. I asked for writing prompts/requests, so they are no included in this.

Otaku Documentary- Swampcon Replacement
“If your culture doesn’t like geeks, you are in real trouble.”
-Bill Gates
I definitely won’t go into detail of how intensely I mourned the cancellation of Swampcon, even wondering how “bad” COVID-19 really was, much like Madarame breaking his wrist at the doujinshi convention in Genshiken. However, this documentary, albeit a bit dated, encapsulated the mindset behind American anime fan culture quite candid and truthfully. The experience was particularly enhanced by being able to watch it with my classmates, which was truly a barrel of laughs. This documentary violently coerced me into fondly reminiscing on my early days of fandom, at the ripe old age of 12.
             To begin, the documentary starts by clarifying the definition of “otaku”, defined by Americans specifically. Although it gave many of these definitions, I felt as though it could have better explained why the anime community is so dispersed on the subject, explaining its denotation, connotation, and reclamation in Japan, much further than “that otaku serial killer”. As we know, the Miyazaki Incident has been described as “the exception that proves the rule” on the supposed societal danger of Japanese otaku, and I feel that the documentary could have provided more structure to itself by describing the Japanese atmosphere surrounding otaku through what Japanese fans think, as well as through background on the incident. This would provide a much clearer reason why some Japanese people differ from other Japanese people, and why some Americans differ from other Americans on this peculiar label for this specific social phenomena. Drawing from personal experience, I first embraced anime around January or February of 2013, when I was halfway through 6th grade. When this happened, I had recently gotten my first laptop for the previous Christmas, and was of course, entirely unsupervised. When I had became involved in various anime communities through social media, my first encounter with “otaku” was not with a positive connotation. It was described as someone who was ignorant to actual Japanese culture, and misusing a word that was actually “very derogatory” in Japan. That’s what I stuck with and believed until this class, where I learned that the question of otaku was far more complex. Thus, I feel that although they could have given a little more intercultural context, the use of interviews in the documentary was probably the best thing to do in order to display the wide variety of opinions on this matter.
             The second part of the documentary went into a subgroup of American self-proclaimed otaku, the cosplayersCosplaying is a way in which fans are able to “take possession” of their obsessions, as described in Otaku: Japan’s Database Animals. It is interesting to note the pattern of who is interested in cosplay- it is often a lot of people that are involved in standing out somehow in their day to day lives, cosplayers are often fans of theatre or acting, as well as many other creative pursuits that involve a lot of work and talent. It’s also interesting to note that there are cosplayers who seem to be the opposite of this, almost a sort of alter ego, being timid in normal life, and outgoing at conventions. This displays the goal of cosplay- standing out and recognition. This isn’t as simple as cosplayers being any sort of “attention whores” as one interviewee said, but there is instead a wide variety of recognition that a cosplayer can receive, only one of them being “attention”. . The cosplayer that was interviewed through her whole process, focused on receiving recognition for her cosplay through winning a cosplay contest. Many other cosplayers seek it through how many people want to take pictures with/of their cosplay, and others through verbal compliments. The purest form of reaching this goal is taking pride in one’s own hard work- whether that work came through making the cosplay from scratch, or working to save up money to buy the cosplay, paying attention to all of the details. These are all forms of recognition, and many cosplayers combine them for their satisfaction. There is a form of fan discrimination that was overlooked in the documentary, concerning the cosplay community. Cosplayers that make their own cosplays tend to look down upon those that buy theirs. This is of course wrong, as they ignore that purchased cosplays are often significantly less complex costumes, and these “buyers” will still make things that they can’t find premade. It’s not taking an easy way out, but making use of the resources one is presented with, so that one can save time or money that could be spent on other cosplays or pursuits. From personal experience, I started truly cosplaying in 2014, and since then I’ve made 3 cosplays, and bought the others. Although I know that buying and making one’s cosplays are equally good, I’ve still internalized this fan discrimination. If someone asks if I made the cosplay I’m wearing, my “I bought it” is much more sheepish than it should be. It’s set in this community that making your cosplay dispenses more shadow cultural capital than buying it, for arbitrary reasons.
Fan discrimination such as this is seen in many facets of the American otaku community, and the idea of a flawlessly unified community as described in Part 3 of the documentary is very much a simulacra. The fan discrimination is reality, the idea of unity that people describe is the simulation, and perpetuating this onto outsiders watching the documentary, as well as new fans, providing an image of “nerds of a feather” that is spread even further and perpetuated by media, is the simulacra.
This is not to say that this idea of fan friendship is a tasteless sham, as nearly all of the friends I have to this day were made through the anime community, and the same can be said for lots of others.
I even pondered earlier that when I get married someday, my friend Brianna (she goes to another school, you don’t know her) could easily play a significant part in that. I chuckled to myself, since I never would have truly met her if not for our younger selves’ fervent interest in Axis Powers: Hetalia. This community, although filled with gaining possession of one’s obsession, stigmas and simulacrum, can easily seep into reality. Black Butler can turn into a real life bridesmaid.
Thus, the interpretations made by these interviewees aren’t perfect, but aren’t entirely inaccurate, either. As with any element of culture which dispenses capital, there is bound to be advantages and disadvantages. However, it is nearly miraculous how such a young community in the United States has more than made up for it’s lost time, I believe anime in the United States is passing from the popular subculture into the popular culture, a trend I noticed (although do not credit to) when I experienced the great successes of Attack on Titan and My Hero Academia.

My Review of Kiss x Sis
Tumblr media
/headdesk
Okay, I guess 2019 was the year I catch up on incestish titles. After watching more recent animes involving the main boy-toy eye-banging their step-sisters like in Domestic Girlfriend and Eromanga Sensei, I thought I should go back a decade and check out a slightly-known anime known only as Kiss x Sis.
…Of course I didn’t go at this voluntarily! I have more sense than that! I just put it in the randomizer with a bunch of other animes that are unlicensed or in license limbo. Who the fuck knew this one pile of dirty underwear was going to be the one that I would watch after finishing a cute story like Fushigi Yugi?!
I hate my life sometimes!
Actually, I was semi-curious about this title back when the television anime series came out in 2010…if not horribly disgusted at the concept. But because I had other things to watch at the time like Hetalia, Durarara, and Kimi ni Todoke…you know I had better things to watch! So here we are!
Keita Suminoe is a third-year middle school student on the verge of entering high school. He has a life that the boys at his school envy.
Tumblr media
He gets to go home to two horny step-sisters, Ako and Riko!
So basically, Keita lost his mother at a young age and his father remarries soon after. That mother has two daughters, Ako and Riko. Basically a non-fucking-a-teacher version of Domestic Girlfriend! And it is clear that these two sisters WANT THE D from their younger step-brother!!! Very clear when in the first episode alone, these two girls flashed him their boobies, stole his dirty underwear to sniff, and broke into his heavily locked-up bedroom to sleep with him and play grab-dick!
WHAT AM I WATCHING?! And this is clearly something made in the early 2010s with this shit! At least .feel productions went on to do better…God I hope so!
So we watch the weekly shenanigans of Keita trying to study in order to get into a high school, while his horny step sisters do every erotic thing you could possibly think of to get their brother’s attention. Just put the bullet in my head now, please!
BETWEEN THE SUB AND THE NEVER TO BE DUB: So as of this date, no one has picked up this anime here in the states. Neither the television series nor the OVA! Which is shocking to me! You mean to tell me that Media Blasters wasn’t stupid enough to pick up this? That’s the same company that licensed a bunch of obscure yaoi and hentai titles and you’d think something like this would have gotten a full release (no pun intended). So in short, this series is unavailable on any streaming site, DVD release, or any of that shit! So yar-dee-har-har, pirate time!
The cast, I’m only familiar with one well-known name and the rest of the cast I’ve only heard in a few roles from animes I hardly remember watching. I can’t really claim that this is the anime that gave Ayana Taketatsu several incest-ish roles in the future, but you can’t argue with the results. Because Taketatsu ended up playing a girl interested in her sibling at least three other times after playing Ako. As you can tell, I am still clearly not over watching Oreimo. With that said, here’s what you might recognize these folks from.
*Keita is played by Ken Takeuchi (known for Lithuania on Hetalia and Yusuke on Green Green)
*Ako is played by Ayana Taketatsu (known for Sugu on SAO, Kirino on Oreimo, Azusa on K-ON!, Koneko on High School DxD, Hotaru on Dagashi Kashi, Yuzu on Citrus, and Erica on Berserk 2016)
*Riko is played by Yuiko Tatsumi (known for Mio/Midori on Little Busters)
I FEEL SORRY FOR…: Yeah, here’s a nice category where I feel sorry for a single character in this show that really shouldn’t have so many horrible things happen to her. Yeah, I said ‘her’. I feel sorry for Keita too (to an extent), but Miharu’s got it worse!
Tumblr media
Miharu has just been in the wrong place at the wrong time whenever she’s around Keita. Oh sure, this anime gives us the usual schtik of her falling over and everyone sees her underwear or something else incredibly embarrassing where other classmates can see. But nothing could prepare me for episode 5 where we see this woman fondled, stuck in small spaces with that same fondler, and to cap this off, watch Miharu hold in her pee until she literally burst. Yeah, they animated this girl peeing on Keita. Add insult to injury, that wasn’t the last time we saw this girl pee on or in front of Keita. It happens again! And again!
And he even dreams about being pee’d on! In fact, every time Miharu hears Keita’s name and sees him, she wants to pee! God, this poor girl!
Amazingly, THIS still doesn’t trump Gakuto deficating during class in Prison School. But the pee-pee scenes were still pretty messed up.
Tumblr media
SHIPPING: Oh God…where do I even begin with this tripe?! As it turns out, Keita actually had feelings for both of his older step-sisters when he was much younger. He even prayed for one day marrying both of them. But got slapped in the face by reality as Japan does not allow polygamy of that caliber!
You wouldn’t have thought that with the way he is now as he’s embarrassed and hates being fondled by his older step-sisters, but here we are. And as for Ako and Riko, they find every other boy gross, perverted, and disgusting. They like their pure little step-brother. And before you go off on the age-demographic, Ako and Riko are only one year older than Keita. So age shouldn’t really be an issue here. It’s everything else that’s hella illegal!
Oh and their parents just laugh it off and find it cute that the girls love their little brother this way. Some parents!
Tumblr media
But it’s not just the two sisters after Keita! Keita has an underclassman named Yuuzuki who has a thing for him. Because this series isn’t complete without a Lolita flashing her panties! And then there’s Miharu…
Tumblr media
Oh God, this poor girl. She ends up with the short end of the stick whenever Keita is around her (especially the pee scenes). I know because some of these interactions, both Keita and Miharu have felt some sort of uncomfortable yet sexual thrill with one another. I just have a feeling Keita’s going to end up with one or both of his sisters despite all this.
At least that’s all for Keita’s sordid affairs…
Episode 7 happens!
Tumblr media
FUCK! WHY THE TEACHER?! WHY DID SHE “MAGIC-MIKE” HERSELF ON KEITA’S GYM CLOTHES!
I apologize for most of the things I ever said about Domestic Girlfriend. At least Natsuo was at legal age (in Japan). This kid is a middle schooler being pursued by two classmates, his two step-sisters, and a teacher from the high school. IT ISN’T EVEN HIS TEACHER (yet)! This lady is Ako and Riko’s teacher! I say NO to Keita getting with the teacher!
ENDING TO TV SERIES: So the main focus of the series (besides a middle school boy being lusted after by his two step-sisters, a loli, and a teacher) mostly has to do with Keita trying to study so he can enter the same high school as Ako and Riko. Yeah, Keita is usually studying whenever we get a break from loli-twincest-bait. I shouldn’t say that, because the girls still made study sessions extra sexual.
Yeah, if you have a sister writing words and phrases in provocative parts of her body, you’re gonna remember!
Tumblr media
So Keita studied for the entrance exam and took the test. However the day of the results was anything but pleasant. Bad luck followed Keita everywhere he went. And when he went to the result board, his number wasn’t on there and so he will not attend the same high school as his sisters, his friends, and one horny teacher. And I gotta say, that’s a fucking blessing. Keita barely gets any peace at home with his sisters constantly trying to get in his undershorts. Add to that, their teacher now has pervy fantasies involving Keita along with her samurai fetish. Not going to that school is probably the best thing to happen to the boy. But that’s just my opinion. Of course he’s going to try for the school again next year.
But Keita finally got some good news! Miharu’s dog somehow got some mail from Keita and it was an acceptance package due to Keita being on the waiting list. So Keita gets to go to school with Ako and Riko. And Miharu didn’t pee on him when Keita hugged her…but the trail of pee she left as she ran off speaks otherwise. God, this fucking show!
Okay, time for graduation from middle school to high school. And as is tradition, girls ask for a button off a boy’s uniform as a memento. In Keita’s case, too many unnamed girls beat the main girls to it. So Ako and Riko decided to have a little fun by playing a different game to gain something from Keita. And then Yuuzuki and Miharu ended up in this game as well! Yuuzuki flashed her snatch to Keita and Miharu was alone in the shed with Keita for a few minutes. Surprisingly, Miharu didn’t pee all over Keita this time (although they slipped and they wound up in an awkward position).
So after that dirtiness, the family celebrated Keita’s graduation. And that night, Ako and Riko decided to give him a friendly visit while Keita slumbers. Now believe it or not, I was shocked that this scene didn’t end up with a premature ejaculation gone wrong, but we get a touching scene instead. Keita was speaking while sleeping where he’s fighting off a horde of crazy girls to save a button for his sisters. Aw, he loves his sisters. Aw, I’m fighting back my urge to puke!
The ending credits show us Keita entering high school and watch all the shenanigans of him with his harem of girls. One can only imagine what his high school years are going to be like. But since this series ended in 2010, that tale ends here. Now I haven’t picked up the manga publication and have no intention of doing that (this adaptation is enough for me). Seeing as the manga is still in serialization, maybe they’ll get into Keita’s high school life and quite possibly who he chooses to be with. Now does the OVA give us a glimpse of Keita in high school with Ako, Riko, Miharu, and the pervy teacher lady? Let’s take a look!
OVA: So the OVA series began in 2008, two years before the television series came to air. And it didn’t finish things until 2015. So basically, people waited a full year for each episode to come out. Normally I’d be pissed if I had to wait a full year for a continuation to a story. But for fuck’s sake, it’s Kiss x Sis, I want to fuck my little step-brother please! Nothing hard to remember there!
Tumblr media
And because these are OVA’s, I expect this to be a lot more lewd compared to the television series. Meaning, expect to see nipples and ejaculation scenes! When viewing, yeah it’s a lot nastier than the television series, but no actual nipples. Every show is different with nipples showing, I guess! Also, they somehow toned down scenes where Keita is peed on. I didn’t think this was a sentence I ever needed to write, but here we are! One thing I noticed is that the first half of the OVA set mostly featured Keita and his sisters. All the other characters really didn’t show up until the 6th episode. What’s more, after episode 5, they show Keita in high school with his sisters. So I guess we do get to see Keita in high school here. But let’s not give this show the benefit of the doubt. It’s still full of panty shots, piss shots, kissing, heavy petting, erotic scenes, and 95% more boners from Keita. I will say that Keita seems more willing to go along with whatever sexual act his sisters put him through than in the television series.
The final episode wasn’t really a conclusion and we don’t really know who Keita’s going to end up with. So I guess it’s up to our imagination if he ends up with his step-sister, his other step-sister, the underaged Lolita, Boobs McGee, or a horny teacher with a samurai fetish. Instead, we get an episode of getting drunk off some tapioca wine, ball sucking that leads to tit and clit sucking, a very weird scene where Keita puts 10 bandaids on his sister’s box, and other disgusting acts of debachary.
Before you ask, no I disliked this anime. Just…no!
Tumblr media
I do admire their creativity when the sisters are sexually curious. I mean we were all at that age where we get sexually curious. I’m not into the incest storylines. If that’s your thing, fine with me, I don’t and can’t judge anyone on that!
Thankfully, no one has licensed this anime. That should be a clear sign that you avoid Kiss x Sis like the plague!
Thank God that’s over! What’s my next anime that’s unlicensed/license limbo?
Tumblr media
To Heart.
This shit wasn’t an incest show, was it? No?! Okay, I’ll take it!

If Our World is Ended had an English Cast
Tumblr media
So while in quarantine, I’m going back and attempting to catch up on the many games I got for Christmas and my birthday, that I haven’t played as of yet. I recently finished Fire Emblem Three Houses and am almost done with Astral Chain. The next game on my list is a game called Our World is Ended and I’m only like 30 minutes in and I already love this game! I’ve somehow gotten the added bonus of owning the Limited Edition artbook through buying it, so I’ve already taken a good look at the members of Judgement 7, a small company group of game designers, and have basically got the rundown on what their characters are like. My only qualms with the game so far are that it has a severe lack of cult following. Like, seriously, this game is really good, why is no one talking about it!? And the second is that there is a significant lack of an English casting. I don’t mind the Japanese dialogue, but if I play this type of game and hear it constantly, then it gets a little too much to handle, so for my playthrough, I turned voices off. However, I was wondering if the game did end up getting a localised dub, which probably won’t happen but IF IT DID then here’s who I think would voice the main members of the group.
Also, please note, I haven’t got very far into the game yet, so if you’ve played this then please refrain from spoiling me on important plot points.
Sekai Owari: Todd Haberkorn
Sekai Owari is the main programmer of the group, and his basic character is that he’s a massive pervert. He’s bluntly honest and always speaks his mind and somehow has the strange ability to guess the measurements of any woman at first glance. In the original dub, he’s voiced by Tomokazu Sugita, but I feel the voice of Todd Haberkorn would really suit him in an english dub. Haberkorn’s repertoire consists of characters like Natsu Dragneel from Fairy Tail, Shiro Iori from Kill La Kill, Haruka Nanase from Free! Death the Kid from Soul Eater, Italy from Hetalia, and many many more. He also did the voice of a similarly perverted character in the second Danganronpa game, Teruteru Hanamura.
Iruka No.2: Patrick Seitz
No, his real name is not Iruka No.2, but it’s the name he uses when he’s in the office. His role in the group is the planner/script writer for the games, and he’s a fan of fantasy worlds and anime. In the Japanese dub, he’s voiced by Yoshitsugu Matsuoka. One of his most notable features is that he’s quite...well...large. He’s a very big character, and his overall appearance makes me think that he’s someone that Patrick Seitz would voice. Some of his big roles include Ragna the Bloodedge from BlazBlue, Franky from One Piece and Agil from SAO, not to mention Endeavour from My Hero Academia, Gamagoori from Kill La Kill and Dio from the English Dub of Jojo Part 3.
Asano Hayase: Kari Wahlgren
Ayano is the unfortunate sound designer, who is not only sad and lonely in reality, but also has a weird power to absolutely wreck any machine that she touches, who is voiced by Eri Kitamura. She’s also quite hot headed and fiery tempered, and the minute she was on screen, she gave me pretty heavy vibes of Kagami from Lucky Star, so I figured maybe she could be voiced by Kagami’s English VA Kari Wahlgren. Wahlgren has also done a lot of background voices of minor characters in many american TV shows, and has also voiced Kitana in Mortal Kombat 11 and also Saber in the Fate series.
Natsumi Yuki: Molly Searcy
Now call me crazy if you’ve played this game, but right from the get go, Natsumi is already my best girl for this game. She’s stoic and hard-hearted, and honestly she’s been nothing but rude to me so far, but to be honest, there’s an air about her that has left me entranced. Of course, I believe I’ve stated somewhere before that I don’t really tend to fall for fictional characters, but I am entranced nonetheless. While voiced by Saori Onishi in the original, I feel like someone like Molly Searcy would work for her. Searcy is no stranger when it comes to voicing stoic characters, since she did the english voice for both Akame in Akame Ga Kill and Isuzu Sento in Amagi Brilliant Park. Alongside that she has many reprisals as Magical Sapphire in the Fate/kalied liner series.
Tatiana Alexandrovna Sharapova: Janice Kawaye
Good luck saying that name aloud. At the point I’m at, I’m yet to be fully introduced to Tatiana, and all I really know about her is that she’s a Russian foreigner, is the sub-programmer of Judgement 7 and is the youngest of the group. She’s also voiced by Yumiri Hanamori in the original japanese version of the game. If there was an English Dub, I personally believe someone like her could easily be voiced by Janice Kawaye, who has previously voiced characters like Peko Pekoyama in Danganronpa, Lysithea Von Ordelia in Fire Emblem Three Houses and Shizuku in HunterXHunter. She also does the voice of Jenny or XJ-9 in My Life as a Teenage Robot.
Yuno Hayase: Abby Trott
Voiced by the amazing Ayane Sakura, Yuno is the first major character in the game that you get introduced to, other than the protagonist Reiji Gozen. She’s your stereotypical bubbly natured, air-headed company assistant with a pretty impressive figure, which trust me, is something that the game points out to you several times. She’s pretty good at cooking and housework and works as a part-time assistant for Judgement 7. When it comes to characters like her, my mind immediately goes to characters that are voiced by Abby Trott, like Annette from Three Houses, Maya from Ace Attorney and even Nezuko from Demon Slayer.
Reiji Gozen: Josh Grelle
I was considering Bryce Papenbrook, but honestly, Josh Grelle fits this better than anyone else can. Reiji Gozen is the main player character of this game, and is voiced by Ryota Osaka in the original version. His job is Assisting Director, meaning he is to carry out literally any chores given to him. Josh Grelle works the best because he’s previously voiced characters like Yukiteru Amano from Future Diary, Tanukichi Okuma from Shimoneta, Yuri Katsuki from Yuri on Ice, Armin Arlet from Attack on Titan and Shido Itsuka from Date a Live, all of whom in a manner of speaking are kind of submissive, somewhat wimpy characters similar to that of Reiji. However, every protagonist has a bit of badass in them, and I highly doubt Reiji is any acception, making Grelle who has also voiced Fumikage Tokoyami in My Hero Academia and Issei Hyodo from Highschool DXD, an even better fit for the role.
I might make a second part for this as I go through the rest of the game, but I seriously recommend this game to anyone and I really want there to be more fanart of it on Tumblr and Reddit, so GO DO THAT!
