part 363 paper snowflakes

[aphanon_meme]

It's... December! I can't believe it's almost the end of another year. Time is weird. Anyway! There's been a lot of neato Hetalia news in the meantime! That game (that I can't get working but will look at videos and screencaps of so I can play vicariously)! The image of the first doll! The musical promo images!! What are you most excited for?

Enjoy part 363!

Is there something on your mind? I think you should try to sleep a bit or stay awake and maybe take a nap later, because otherwise you'll be pretty groggy later.

Christmas Event 2015

[fredlig]

[So guess who's doing this year's Christmas Event]

Welcome to aphanon_meme's Christmas Gift event!

How it works:

Find (a photo of) the perfect gift you want to give someone on the meme, write a gift tag, and post it here. Santa will deliver it to the right person on the meme on the 25th!

You can "give" anything you like: photos of stuff or "homemade" gifts such as art and writings. Anyone on the meme can receive a gift: anons, non-anons, RPers or their muns. The past years, the gifts to all anons were especially appreciated by the meme. You can post anonymously here and sign the tag with whatever you want or nothing at all, or you can put your name on it. If you want Santa to deliver your gift to a special nation rather than say, just about any Italy, then please write their username on the tag. Remember that all gifts are made public!

These are the dates you need to remember:

December 10th to December 23rd - submissions are open! I will accept gifts as long as it's the 23rd some place on this planet. You should post your gifts here: https://fredlig.dreamwidth.org/4858.html

December 24th - Santa sorts the gifts

December 25th - Delivery of the gifts begin!

If Santa can't find the recipient of a gift, they will eventually be made public.

Have fun! ♥ Finland Sweden Santa

p.s.

Here are gift tags: http://www.freeprintablegifttags.net/category/christmas

Please, if possible, put them on the gift-pic! (Not a separate gift and tag.)

Apologies to Hana since I took the info from here.

That would be a no. They are either pigeon-holed or they don't exist.

Ew please tell me this isn't like that 'Egyptians have and always been black Africans and Cleopatra was black too' Tumblr keeps pushing despite the contrary

...dude people need to look up actual photographs of people in egypt

there's a range of skin tones, and some egyptians are as light skinned as "white" people, while others are darker. the midtone that egypt canonically has seems to fit right in, so i fail to see the problem.

Ah yes, time for my annual tradition of putting this off until night time on December 24th

Manga!Egypt has about the same skin tone the Egyptian girl in my class at school had, yep. The anime does kinda paleify him and Seychelles.

fanfic nostalgia? Hetalia or not.

Re: itt: fanfics you used to love

I'm cheating because this wasn't fanfic, but did anyone else read (and obsess over) The Unicorn Academy?! I re-read a bit of it a few days ago and it is not that great at all but to pre-teen me it was the fucking bee's knees!

cassandra claire's hp trilogy

...too bad it was plagiarized heavily. and then the author turned out to be kind of douchey too. :\

also that one epic snarry story which basically went 'after a zillion chapters they finally somehow kind of liked each other... and then snape deliberately sent harry to his death and hated himself thereafter ever more'

Been reading Mr Welch's list and the Binder of Shame and now unable to shake mental image of nations playing tabletop RPGs. Japan is instabanned from ever playing Call of Cthulhu again.

What religion, if any, do you follow?

[(Anonymous)]

And which religions do the nations follow?

Re: What religion, if any, do you follow?

[(Anonymous)]

Agnostic leaning biocentric for me.

I think they'd mostly go with their country's majority. Some would be atheists but I don't think any could be strict rationalists, given that the existence of personified countries some of whom openly wield magic is fundamentally non-rational.

Re: What religion, if any, do you follow?

Me: I'm essentially agnostic. I don't think about it much, but I suppose I can be spiritual sometimes. Divinity is in the natural world etc. As for formal religions, I call myself Jewish and/or Episcapalian because those are the religions of my parents (both non-practicing).

Nations: as other anon said, they probably are what the majority of their population is. I imagine them occasionally appearing in significant minority's religious places though. Nowadays, many of them, like their populations, don't really practice anymore. Some probably continue old-fashioned habits (like incantations to keep the devil away or something).
