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!

Re: Ask a vuri

tl;dr: yeah, it is indeed.

The thing about the Romans that I find so weird is that their attitude towards sex is at the same time more straightforward and filthy and much more innocent than ours. For example, nakenedness during sports was just something that happened because people considered it more convenient than sweating through normal clothes - it had no special erotic meaning, though that didn't stop people from ogling the attractive boys, of course.

But yeah, Roman times especially are a huge missed opportunity. You might have some misgivings about the morality of certain attitudes if you were writing serious historical fic, but for writing pretty shiny smut...yeah. You can go with baths, you can go with the gym, you can go with tents in the battlefield, you can go with temple gardens, you can go with gay sex, lesbian sex, orgies, most sex acts you can think of, you can just. Go. And you'd rarely wouldn't find some kind of literary/historical/material proof that the Romans hadn't at least thought about it.
