part 353 whalers on the moon

[aphanon_meme]

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!

Re: How do people "improve" the characters?

Canada... I don't even want to go there, if I hear one more headcanon about how Canada is sweet angelic badass sexy clever yadda yadda I am going to flip a moose. I will admit that Canada is not that fleshed out in canon but christ surely it's possible to fill in some additional headcanon without Stuing him to death.

I also don't want to fucking hear about tumblr's version of France the Angelic Sex Guidance Counselor ever again. I like France when he's mostly sleazy and trollish and perverted. Yes, he has a warmer and maturer and even deep and poetic side to him, but that's all the better taken in tandem with his rascally side. As it is, a lot of France interpretations seem to go directly against what's shown in canon and that disappoints me.

America frequently gets turned into a boy scout slash rocket scientist slash multilingual genius child, and often with an extravagant flair for romance to boot. I'll grant that I think he's much smarter than people might expect due to his rather ditzy personality, and I can sometimes see him pulling off a bit of Hollywood, but ugh come on did we all forget his pushiness and obnoxiousness and egotism? Which, I might add, round him out as a character and are a large part of his charm.

And of course, England the woobie, pooooooooor England, nothing's ever England's fault, weh weh England did you somehow manage to overlook all the many, many times he's a douche in the canon material (something which also applies to other characters, I might add) I mean come on, he's one of the main characters and you've all seen his bad sides in detail SO MANY TIMES. Also, it irritates me when he's just all... suave and gentlemanly and shit. So boring. I don't want fucking James Bond with bigger eyebrows, I want the dorky sourpuss Hetalia England. But often in fanon it's either whimpering UKe who must be constantly be rescued from his insecurities by America/France/whoever, or super smooth seme England.

Disclaimer I do love all four of these characters, by the way. But since we're venting, here's my vent.

Hold on, lightly mock my cheeseburger or something first so that I can burst into woobie tears because NOBODY IN THE WORLD APPRECIATES MA CULTURE BOOHOOHOO!!!! and then you can console me with the cookie + blanket + declarations of unending support ad infinitum. Because you'd do that for me, wouldn't you. Of course you would. That's my headcanon for you and I, right there.
