part 353 whalers on the moon

We've been here over a year now! I can hardly believe it! Dreamwidth's been pretty good, I'd say, with almost no downtime to speak of and all that! Anyway... how is your spring going? Or I guess it's almost summer, isn't it? Hopefully it's been well! I've been catching up on work and new movies, all very exciting stuff, I'm sure.

Enjoy part 353!

For Italy it's definitely taking away all his bubbly happiness, cluelessness and other such traits and replacing them with cold calculation so that he has no problem stabbing Romano in the stomach and watching him bleed to death after pretending he just wanted to hug him. While there's certainly plenty of history that would require a darker and more mature take on Italy (and we know he beat up Turkey, so there's canon support, too), there are some lines that you have to cross very carefully if you don't want to make him totally OOC.
