part 347 dimensions of sight and sound

[aphanon_meme]

and of mind. Do do do do do do do do do do do.

How was your end-of-December-into-January time, meme? Did you make any New Year's resolutions? Or light a candle in your window in the hopes that Himaruya would update again instead of leaving us behind like an 19th century light house keeper's wife whose husband has gone off to sea? ... Did you?

Enjoy part 347!

It's Romania's birthday?

[(Anonymous)]

I dunno, because there's that Unification Day but under "national days" it lists December 1, as the unification of Romania and Transylvania... but I don't think Himaruya has given us a canon date yet?

[(Anonymous)]

There's no canon b-day for him

No, England. YOU are the colony.

I guess I like some poems here and there but overall it's not my thing

I do feel dumb for not getting most poems

[(Anonymous)]

It seems like fandoms are too scattered and fast-moving now that the most popular place is Tumblr. It was easier to belong and be part of a group before Tumblr. I also don't like the direction this fandom in particular has taken on there. Sometimes I wish that website never happened, even though that would be taking things way too seriously. I miss 2009.

Well, it's really hard to belong to something in tumblr, where conversation or discussion is nigh impossible unless you are friends or something. There are no communities like in lj/dw and don't get me started on SJW roaming the place.

tl;dr I miss 2009 too. :(

[(Anonymous)]

The SJW, and the youth culture - I also don't fit in with these people. I tried, and used Tumblr nonstop from 2011-2013. I quit, brainwashed and disillusioned. I know that sounds melodramatic, but it's the truth. :P

I don't have any of my old Hetalia and meme friends left, which I know is ultimately a good thing, but I miss feeling like I had a tribe.

The Hetalia fandom in 2009-2011 was extremely active tbh. I remember a lot of communities on Livejournal then. Now the place is so dead...boo.

I don't want to be That Guy, but imo, the internet is changing for the worse.

[(Anonymous)]

How so exactly? Curious.

[(Anonymous)]

I wish I could answer this in the way I want to but I'm not that insightful and eloquent. I'm too embarrassed and I can't put it into words right on the spot. I'm sorry, anon. But if you have anything to say about it, feel free to post it. :)

[(Anonymous)]

sigh @ people who think Tumblr started SJW when it was popular on LJ for years before Tumblr became widespread

[(Anonymous)]

Original creativity is gone, everyone seems to have an ulterior real life motive, communities are far flung and no longer connected and it's become a focus on the shallow, bright and catchy instead of the depth and discussion that it had before.

[(Anonymous)]

Which characters got the most spotlight last year? Who's been out of focus?

[(Anonymous)]

Don't sigh at me. :) I didn't say that. It's just that back then it wasn't quite as toxic, and easier to isolate yourself from it.

Tickling.

And since the kids today are growing up with the internet EVERYWHERE, faster and easier to use, with tablets and mobile phones, the people I've come across are younger and younger... and exposed to the most bizarre, fucked up shit. That's not purely fandom-related, but it's mostly in fandoms that it happens. There's just so much that, to me, does not bode well.
