In the wise words of Chuck Shirley,

"Writing is hard."

I'm writing the RomanoxReader, and I've just kind of stalled. I have ideas, but they won't come out on the keyboard right. I have an intro of sorts that I really really love, but I've just stalled. *sigh*

This would be the third in my New Year's Tradition bit, and honestly I think I'd like to stop it there are move on. Three ideas for fics that don't really have any tie ins with the New Year's theme. Plus, it's already the 5th, so I suppose it would be alright if I moved on. As of recently, Taylor Swift has been most enlightening for my writer's block. I have yet another AmericaxReader idea. I just don't know how to quit you, babe. Then I have one for France. Finally, I have a semi-idea for Norge. I mean it's really adorable in my mind, but I just need to get the plot down.

So, yep. There's the plans for the coming month. School starts up again Tuesday, so we'll see how much I can get done before that. Once it restarts, I don't know how much time I'll have to write. Finals are coming up, so that's inconveniencing. WHY WE CAN'T JUST HAVE THEM BEFORE BREAK IS BEYOND ME Then basketball is still a living hell. *sigh* Whatever. May can't come any faster. I just want to graduate already!

Side-note: GOOOOOOOOO NOTRE DAME! KICK ALABAMA'S BUTT ON MONDAY!!!!! (Hardcore Fighting Irish fan right here.)

I do in fact breath air. Isn't that wonderful!

I've been hiding under the rock that is school and basketball! School has been slamming me with homework, and any time not spent doing homework is spent at basketball. (which sucks. It is so awful.) So, I have had no time to write. That is going to change over break though!

My good friend has challenged me to work on a New Year's one-short series. Not really a series, but a mix of one-shots about New Years! I've decided to do various traditions around the world.

So far I for sure plan on doing one for:

America
Prussia or Germany (depends)
Romano

Maybe:

Spain
One or more of the Nordics

I want practice using with them. Maybe not Finland or Sweden so much Norway, Iceland, and Denmark.

So, there is the plan for the coming week. YAY!

I'm too lazy to tag other people... So... YAY!

Yes, just in case you were wondering, I am still alive. Life has just been a sea of busyness. No seriously...
This week I have gotten home around 6 from school and etc just to do hours of homework. Once I finish at 9, I collapse on my bed and pass out.

THIS IS NOT COOL!
*sigh* School sucks.

I hope to get back to writing sometime after college applications are filled out. I'm almost done. I just need a few more things that I'm working on over the weekend. UGH.

First up will be to finish the GermanyxReaderxPrussia. Sooo can't wait!

I'm off to pass out now. NIGHT!

WARNING: Cursing lies ahead.

I am so done with people on the internet dissing Hetalia. I understand that some people don't like it. That is wonderful. There are plenty of things I don't like either, but people don't have to be such dicks about it.

While going through some Hetalia hate I noticed a few things that really bothered me:

A lot of the haters tend to think we're only yaoi obsessed fangirls, which is completely not true. Yes, some of us (including myself) are very invested in some of our ships, but that's not the only reason we like the show or the comics. They're hysterical and interesting. It's a fun way to learn a little bit about history (a point I shall return to). Not everything is about the couples. *sigh* I hate when people think that.

Many people think that Hetalia "ruins history" and that it distorts it. They make the argument that it makes war look cute and innocent. The anime and comics are making fun of parts of history. I don't think anyone in the fandom takes these things so seriously that they think this is actually how history happened. War is horrible and leads to the needless loss of human life. We understand that. People who think that Hetalia fans take the "cutesy war" aspect seriously are shitting themselves. Ugh, this just angers me so much. It's just total bullshit! I've seen people who think Hetalia fans think Hitler is super "DESU KAWAII" or whatever the hell they think. Are you shitting me? ARE YOU SHITTING ME! I just can't express my anger about these ignorant haters.

Lastly, people are so damn offended by the stereotypes. Come on. Every country mentioned is made fun of in some way. It's not like one country is singled out and only that country is made fun of. The stereotypes are used for comedic effect. It makes watching the show and reading the comics even funnier. I'm an American who laughs her ass of at America's stereotype of being a cheeseburger obsessed, narcissistic hero. In fact, he's my favorite character. I just don't understand why some people are so offended by the show Even the writers and the voice actors laugh at the stereotypes. Some people take this show too literally.

Yes there are some things that I have seen Hetalia fans do that I don't agree with, but that's not all of us. Every fandom has those fans that we are not necessarily proud of, but people don't have to be such assholes about it. We see it, but we let them do what they want because it's their life. They can do whatever the hell they want. Just because you don't approve of it, doesn't mean we need your hate. There are plenty of better things you could be doing with your life rather than creating ignorant hate for Hetalia and it's fans.

Sorry for the weird rant.
