I should start crossposting from DW instead...

I wish LJ let me crosspost to Dreamwidth. As it is, I always forget to update stuff.

But since I've done a bit of housekeeping with tags and memories and whatnot, I got around to fix the DW too =) And checked out dw-community-promo and joined... everything that looked cool on the first pages, more or less ^^;;

Whee~ So tired now

Btw, if someone wants to move from LJ or do a backup of their stuff (I am so paranoid that LJ will become all "bahleeet!!1!!" again) I think I have invite codes lying around somewhere.

*facepalm* I ought to buy a Pensieve

I completely forgot about this story that I wrote 30 pages of, before RL interrupted and got in the way of all fannish engagements. Not the story as such, I knew I had started it and jotted down some years and whatnot - but 30 pages? That's a bit more than the opening scene I remembered!

Well. I still think it moves too slowly and is clunky, clumsy crap for at least 12 of those pages. But the idea has merits and anyway, I've never written such a plotty story before. Will try to finish it before 2012...

(but really. 30 pages, forgotten? how??)

Also, any excuse to do research on Cold War era Berlin = good!

This is what is looping in my brain

The reason I decided to come back to Hetalia - well, ok, besides the fact that I have finally finished moving and have an internet at home after like a month of netlessness. That helped

Youtube for Hatafutte Parade Romano & Germany preview )

I love Germany's Hatafutte Parade. I mean, seriously, it's his best song so far. The Marukaite was funny, but not really good and while German Anthem had it's points, it's not something that is easily looped. Einsamkeit was way too boring, I mostly listen to the changed-pitch version Einsamkeit 1947 now, because turning it into a "duet" makes it more dynamic.

But this? It's even better than Italy's original version. Very nice to listen to, I like the violin swoops! Germany also sounds a bit drunk, heh, especially if you read the lyrics.

And Prussia got a great new song too, kinda

Youtube for live-version remix of Mein Gott! )

Now, Ore-sama no uta definitely has it's charm. It is also one of the most IC image songs I've heard from Hetalia (er, possibly discounting a few of the later Marukaite's which I haven't listened to more than once). Still, a bit hard to sing along to (this counts for a lot!) and he spends a bit too much time growling for my tastes. Then came Mein Gott! which sounded nice, but really too much like a thousand other anime songs.

Just recently, I heard the band version (aka semi-rockish live version) and I went hell yeah!! A bit rougher than the original, but still very catchy and happy, and he actually gets to sing for real *heart*

I don't understand people who don't like Prussia's anime voice, really. I know most of the MAD's and song remixes uses some high, smooth voice, but I can't see that. Imagine who you'd hear most over a big battle field, the hoarse crackpot voice or the fanon one? Also, he's not refined like that silly Austria or anything, that's half his point...

Ahem, a tangent.

Anyway, these are good. But dear Hetalia rights holders, would it kill you to bring out a bloody CAST SONG SOUNDTRACK?? I want to buy it, but I don't want a bunch of useless singles I'd never use :( A full-lenght cd, plzthx

Angst:

I try to cut away things from the latest fic (I really ought to learn to use shorter fic names) and it just keeps getting longer, argh -_-

When I manage to go down to 49 pages, don't you think I find a place two pages ahead which desperately needs a re-write and that rewrite ends up adding two large pargraphs?

Mein Gott, Gilbo, du bist so dämlich! Und doch ein bisschen geil...

There's gonna be another Prussia song!

And it's a totally anime song, with none too good singing, happyfun melody and if the other Hetalia songs are anything to go by, completely silly lyrics. I love it!

And just look at this picture! Holy crap, the silly-level is reaching pure awesome ^.^ He's got a suit and a crown and a little chick and he's taking pictures of himself for his blog, ohhhhh, Gilboooo~

*snerk*

I'm just a little bit proud that of the four fics using the tag "Berlin Wall" at AO3, three are mine... Otoh, it would be awfully nice to find some new stuff to read there. In time, I hope there'll be more Hetalia fics hosted there with this tag, since it's one of my favorite topics ^_^

Also, I have not worked further on the sequel as I should but have instead written weird-ass shit involving Nazis. It is mostly my attempt to, y'know' reconfiguring being a rather vocal anti-Nazi/racism/prejudices person in RL with liking the characters of Prussia and Germany (ETA: Especially considering the setting Hetalia takes place in)
...but I feel it'll mostly come off as strange. And possibly offensive, so I dunno what to do with this shit

It's not even slash, so hell if I know if it fits posting at Meinbruder -_-

Gah. Brain overload

I've been crazy creative these last days, working on two fics, proofread and done a bunch of other stuff... All the while working a lot. So I'm a bit tired tonight ^^;

They're talking about voices and music at the main Hetalia comm, so I thought I'd collect some of my own thoughts here. Bit too tired to do anything serious right now anyway

Youtube clips and odd bits here )

And we have France's radio show. France. Radio. Show. With slow jazzy music.

And wouldn't you know that this happens to be almost exactly the setup for one Sailor Moon episode where Jadeite hosts an (energy stealing) radio show and they friggin share the same voiceactor?

*LE SWOON*

Masaya Onosaka, eleven years down the line and I still friggin adore you!

This is a bit embarrasing, but I just got bit by another fandom

And it's a bloody Shonen Jump sports manga *facepalm*

My Eyeshield 21 ramblings )

I promise I won't even think about writing Eyeshild fic... Ok, sorry, already broke that one. I promise I won't start on anything until I'm done with at least the two current projects! One of which is a crossover, so I'd better get back to rereading that book now...

I have posted the first two parts of my latest Germancest fic, which carries the incredibly long and awkward title "Close your eyes and kiss me, pretending we are real"

Because this fic contains BDSM, violence, incest and explicit sex-scenes, it is posted behind a friendslock here. I'll repost it on various communities too and update this post with all relevant links!

It is a bit too much work to crosspost this everywhere and fix any errors I find, since it's a big fic and flocked and whatnot. So I'll update the Dreamwidth account when all the chapters are posted on LJ and properly formatted :) Should only take a few days

Awesome canon revelation, y/n?

This was NOT TRANSLATED BY ME! An anon from the [livejournal.com profile] aphanon_meme did all the work, I have only copypasted!

From: http://www.geocities.jp/himaruya/matome_heta.html

Prussia

* Personality-wise, he loves to fight and often says things that will start quarrels.
* Since birth, he has been wielding his sword for the survival of that person, so he is very strong.
* He has gone one a rampage in Hungary and Poland before, so his relationships with these two are rather rocky.
* Also, his manners are quite terrible. (Prussian troops are quite known for their bad behaviour.)

* He is supposed to be around Austria's age, maybe just a little older, but he doesn't look like it.
* He loves Friedrich II a lot. Even after his death, whenever something or someone brings up the history of Friedrich II, he'll be depressed.
* After WWII, while he was under Russia's control and dreaming of Italy's warm sunshine, he was stuck with doing unprofitable jobs.

[Miscellaneous]
Initially, his hair style had not been fixed, his head was covered with his hat, and he was a pitiful character who has to endure being forced to go through tough times.
Initially, the plan was to draw him acting his age, but he gradually became more childish.
A discarded character design has him with long hair and a face like Poland's.




I am especially frantic about this part....
* After WWII, while he was under Russia's control and dreaming of Italy's warm sunshine, he was stuck with doing unprofitable jobs.

Holy shit, can this be read any other way than that Gilbert becomes East Germany in some sense or other?

Musical inspiration for writing!

Do you have character inspiration songs?

When I write Prussia, I tend to listen to the Vocaloid video of Prussia and Austria arguing. I just discovered this MAD too, and I think I'll use it if I ever want to write him in total fail scenes XD
If I'm not mistaken, that's Gakupoid singing in the second one as well and, yeah, I think his voice fits Gilbo really well...

Austria otoh is classical music all the way. Since I'm a an uncultured clod, it's pretty much "Youtubehopping" starting with An der schöne blaue Donau.

Germany is usually written in silence, but depending on the mood I like to play a little Die Ärzte while thinking about the fic. I can, however, not write while listening to Die Ärzte because I get distracted by their lyrics. The boys amuse me too much

BDSM = Rammstein. Sorry.

And my latest pr0n fic is written under the influence of too damned much Fairytale. I fear for my sanity a bit, especially as it does not involve Norway in any way.




In other news, I'm looking for a beta for a certain Italy/Germany/Prussia threesome earlier posted on the kink-meme. Anyone wants to help out? I need language/grammar beta + overall coherence since it's been written in comment-sized snippets. I will of course also gladly accept characterization and other kinds of beta :)

I would usually ask at [livejournal.com profile] meinbruder or [livejournal.com profile] gertalia but since it's a threesome I dunno if that's really appropriate ^^;;

Oh, and it's a longass fic again. 23k words

Mah fic, edition 1

This is just to put down some of my thinky-thoughts before I spew them all at some unsuspecting commenter and bore them all to hell...

Let's start from the beginning:
I'm living up to my pretentious username! What Dr. Calvin thinks of her writing )

There is that meme-ish thing around, which basically goes that if people want to ask about my headcanon or how I view characters/pairings, they can. So, if anyone is interested... go for it!
