Part 11 comes after Part 10

Part 10 is over! Part 11 is here. If you haven't checked the challenge entry, the challenge has been extended until Part 11 maxes. Hopefully that is enough time for people who are busy with finals and such to find time to enter, if they'd like to!

Should I mention that the number 11 scares me? I really don't like that number. Like how Natalie Portman hated the number 5 (or 6?) in Where the Heart Is. But a higher number. Well, anyway.

You could if you want and I'd gladly listen!


Yes, I'd like to see any kind of interaction at all, too. I think the lack of Estonia is just -- people don't like Estonia. Or don't care. Or forgot he exists. ):

WHICH IS SO SAD DAMMIT

I can understand, I mean. Well, not really. I wish he was in the comics more.

These people don't know what they're missin'!

You know, I think you're probably right. Mostly on the first and third point. I've run into various people who think he's a little... boring. Well, fair enough on that point, I suppose. And there are others who just forget about him. Considering he's overshadowed in canon, and a lot of people forget about the country in real life, it's not terribly surprising, hah! ... Still unfortunate, though.

I wish there were more strips with him. He's just so cute. And I'm a sucker for the sparkles. But that relatively recent one - the indie movie strip, to go along with the April Fools takeover - was pretty ace. And it helped bring him up in people's minds, I think. I'm starting to notice a few more people who say they like him, and that makes me so happy.

Sometimes I think I'm so attached to him because of my interest in the actual country. Probably influences it, anyway. Before Hetalia. During high school, it was - had a minor obsession with the country, largely the fault of making a friend who lived there. But I suppose it isn't unusual to like a character due to real-life bias.

This response is incoherent. Clearly I need more coffee.
