If Austria Loses I'm Losing It, Don't Ask What It Is

So I had this weird thought about how Germany is already like..17 in the industrial revolution.

So I wrote it to my buddy and we came up with this crazy theory that's probably 100% wrong and my history teacher hates me now.

Tho I'd like people to see this because I'm sure it makes sense and I hope it reaches some other theory people!

At this point just do it it's not THAT bad

(also it's not worth 10k)

if this post gets 10k I'm going to watch all of hetalia

Can you believe I've been looking for these two pics all Over my gallery?

All the time they were here, posted.

And Even better, I always felt like I had em here💀 but dismissed the feeling

I'd like to propose that a good plethora of them stem from modern media

Like *insert 90% of BBC shows* or the great British bake off, iconic quotes include

»No, Now I'm panicking«

»There is no time for a *insert anything but spoon*«

Describing something hideous he made: »I like how each of them has it's own personality «

The list may go on

I feel like Arthur has an arsenal of niche british memes and inside jokes that he quotes from time to time to himself and laughs at them, because he genuinely is a little bit weird and why wouldn't he be the guy who laughs out of nowhere quietly to himself?

Of the modern day, I think he'd really like the "They'd have to catch me first, I'm like a whippet" and "I'm panicking now, I'm gonna lose my job." ones, and I think he quotes the "I'm gonna lose my job." At least once every few days

i need to remember this later

50 tips for (fanfic) writing

have fun

write whatever is interesting to you, even if it won’t be interesting to anyone else

appreciate kudos when they come, but don’t expect them

appreciate comments when they come, but don’t expect them

if you wish you could just write that one scene you have in your head, do that. you don’t need to create a 30K backstory for it first.

embrace one shots

embrace drabbles

embrace writing your story out of order

rough drafts are meant to be rough. if you can’t think of a word, put in a placeholder for it and keep going. 

try not to get stuck on the little things

it’s okay if your readers can’t see the picture inside of your head

some people work well when they have a posting schedule. some people work well when they don’t. it’s okay if you don’t know which kind of person you are, and it’s okay if the type of person you are changes over time.

if a rule you created for yourself isn’t working for you, get rid of that rule.

make fandom friends. even if they don’t read your fic, they’ll cheer you on while you write it.

cheer on other writers you know. you’ll be cheering yourself at the same time.

no trope or genre is better or worse than another one. they all just appeal to different audiences.

quality and popularity are not the same thing, although they do sometimes overlap

numbers and statistics will never tell you whether or not you’re a good writer. they will never tell you how valuable you are as a person. 

you belong in fandom if you want to be there

you’re a writer as soon as you start writing things

writing and posting are two different things. your story is still worth writing, even if you never plan to share it

you don’t need to apologize for what you write or what you post. 

don’t worry about taking up too much space. the internet doesn’t have a maximum size. 

keep your readers in mind when you’re tagging your content. how could they search for your fic? if you use a tag, will be a reader who loves that tag be satisfied with how much it appears in your story?

if you have a relationship in your fic that plays a minor role, tag it in the Additional Tags section instead of the Relationship section so that people who love that ship don’t get their hopes up

be cautious when looking at bookmarks on your fic. they aren’t “extra comments.” that’s a space where readers make notes for themselves and each other, not for authors. 

you don’t need to know everything about canon before you start writing fic

you don’t need to read fic in the same fandoms you write for

you don’t need to read fic at all in order to write it

love your work because sometimes you’re the only one who will - and that’s okay

if your hobby starts feeling like a job, you might need to take a break before you get burnt out

if you get stuck on a story, you can always start a new one

if you fall out of love with a story, you can always stop writing it. if you’re worried about your readers, you can always give them a bullet point summary of where you were planning to go with thing. for a lot of people, that’s satisfying and provides closure

if you get hate, report it

use the tools at your disposal to block hate before it can come in (limiting or turning off comments, limiting or turning off asks, blocking users, etc)

try replying to comments sometimes. it can be a lovely way to make fandom friends

don’t be afraid to reblog your own writing posts.

if you get stuck on your summary, just write 1) who the story is about 2) what they are doing and 3) what problem gets in their way

notice when your writing makes you smile. that moment is a gift. enjoy it.

notice when your writing makes you cry. that moment is a gift, too.

even if you’re disappointed in how your story turned out, there’s something in there that’s fantastic. find that thing and focus on it and feel proud.

some ideas are ones you want to write. some are ones you want to read. if you ever have too many ideas to deal with at once, give some of the latter ones away to someone else. 

sometimes the things you write will be really personal. be careful about putting them where other people can comment. they won’t know how personal it is for you, and you need to remember that comments aren’t about you, they’re about the story.

remember that you can write series as well as stories. if the story is done but you still have passion or ideas, start a new one in the same universe.

enjoy the satisfaction of finishing a story. savour it. bask in it a little while.

don’t feel guilty about abandoning a story. not every story gets finished, and that’s okay

you can have separate accounts for different fandoms. you can have one account with a million fandoms in it. do whatever works for you.

sometimes writing is more important than sleep - but only sometimes

it doesn’t matter if that story has been written before by someone else. it doesn’t matter if it was written by you. write it again.

only follow the advice that makes sense to you. the rest isn’t important.

I am glad to be alive :)

a reminder

Like that would mean I frequently post?

Reblog this post if you are an ACTIVE HETALIA FAN (2021)

I, too, agree☝🏻!!

sometimes the way Germany is treated in fandom depresses me. People do realize he has a personality right? I just constantly see him pushed along the lines of perfect lover househusband, sex god, grumpy strict anti social workaholic dead-inside perfectionist, doitsu, wurst and potato dude, or bashful uke virgin. 

and and to me, he’s just a stupid sweet boy who grew up too fast, and tries always to do his best and he’s really earnest and honest and shy and sincere and naive and patient and forgiving and wow what a baby  

lookit this loser blushing over a shitty romance novel written for lonely housewives, I MEAN C’MON?? I think he deserves a closer look and more credit than he gets. 

I thought it's a French cheese?

hold on a fucking second. delaware is a state?? i thought it was a river? or is the river more important than the state? why don't i know this? (i should mention i don't like in america, i'm just confused)

there is delaware (state) and delaware (river) 

both are equally strange

the state is a tiny little cryptid thing

the rive is a monster that spans new york, pennsylvania, new jersey and delaware. also washington crossed it once and that was like kinda a big deal i guess. like crossing the rubicon in rome.

the state tries to me more important with its “im the first state!!!” bs (seriously its even on the fucking license plates) but we all know. its the river.
