Age: 19~ ♥
Favorite Hetalia characters: Lovino. With a burning passion. Antonio, Feliciano, Ludwig, Arthur, Alfred, Ivan, Toris, Lili (Liechtenstein), Elizabeta, Natalia... I love everyone, but Lovino is... is... he gets my inner Spain out /o/♥.
Favorite Hetalia pairings: Spain/South Italy/Spain = OTP. UK/US, Ludwig/Feliciano(/Japan can come too!), France/Canada, Greece/Japan(/Turkey can come too!), Switzerland/Liechtenstein, Hungary/Austria(/Prussia can come too!), HRE/Chibitalia, SuFin, Russia/Lithuania, Russia/China, Russia/Belarus, China/Korea,
If fanon counts: Argentina/Chile(/Perú can come too! And yes, I do say that a lot ^^;).No topping preferences whatsoever! ♥ And I want yuri pairings with base in canon *pokes Himaruya*. I can only write so much fem!Spain/fem!Lovino.Any favorite strips/episodes of the anime?: I don't really see the anime, so think of this as favorte strips. The one with England and the Kappa made me cry, but I love it despite of that. I also obviously like everything with Spain and Lovino in it. :P Especially the "evil muffins!" one. I don't know, it's hard to choose a favorite when they're all so wonderful.
The one with Iggytalia is becoming one I look at a lot, though. XD
Favorite America/England related moments in the comics/episodes/cd dramas?: Ummm... the one in which England is "dying". And of course, Cleaning out the Storage and the Revolutionary War.
And that fan-made drama CD.What non-Hetalia fandoms are you into?: um, many! I am a Narutard, tho I don't really follow the manga that closely lately. Saint Young Men, Dragon Ball, Junjou Romantica, Kodomo no Jikan, Death Note, CLAMP, Lucky☆Star Gravitation, Onani Master Kurosawa, Midori no Hibi, Strawberry Shake Sweet, Kannazuki no Miko, School Days, Sailor Moon (oh God when I find the time to read the manga lskghnashfh♥). I baaaw about the Vampire Chronicles from time to time. And I like Twilight to have a few laughs (in a good way, hardcore haters are kind of lame imho *sadface*).
Favorite ships/characters in those fandoms?: I am not going to answer that because I would like to sleep tonight. XD I guess if you really want to know about some fandom to see if we'd get along, you can ask. ^^
What do you post about in your journal?: RL and fandom. And memes, when they seem amusing.
What are you looking for in an LJ-friend?: (this can include anything from 'someone who'll comment' to 'someone to RP with' etc.) um, people to talk with. I don't know, people who would try to communicate.
Other favorites: Books, Movies, TV, Music?: Books in general (eternal love), paranormal happenings (ghosts, UFOs, mysteries? bring it on, I love it!) music, winter, H.P. Lovecraft, Anne Rice, religion, creepy things in general. I'm not really a TV person, though I am planning on getting back into The Big Bang Theory soon. In music, well, the best band ever will ever be Nittle Grasper for me. Musically, you mention The Rasmus or Catupecu Machu to me and I'll melt. Though I readily jump from Eurovision music (yes, I consider that a genre on its own!) to Spanish music, to classical, to Japanese, to English, and a few more other in other languages because I'm a music whore.
Do you have a fic/icon/creative journal? If so what: Fic journal!
Anything else?: Well, I don't really like people going "[fandom/pairing] shouldn't exist!1" to the point of obsession (though this being a Hetalia comm, it'd be ironic to find someone doing that XD) and I really dislike people who think being religious automatically makes you some crazy deluded thing who lives only to push their beliefs on others. If you're neither, there's a good chance we'll get along. :DDD

I'd like to see a plausible yuri pairing too, if only to shake things up a bit. Hmm...maybe Serbia/Montenegro? I actually imagined them as male at first, but who says they can't be female like Hungary?no subject
:o that could work! I have hopes on seeing potential South American!Nations being female so we'll see.no subject
no subject
I do have to admit that Dee/Ryo of FAKE ranks a very, very close second to them, though. (And am I the only one who even knows what Kento/Akira is? Or desperately wishes that they could have had more than 2 volumes to be adorable and hilarious?)
no subject
FAKE is probably my favorite yaoi manga, if I have to be logical about it.
Gravi, especially Gravi EX, is way too crazy sometimes. Though my ultimate OTP (Tatsuha/Ryuichi) is from there, so I will never be able to abandon Gravi. :P
Kento/Akira as in... Mirai no Kioku/Kaze no Yukue? :DDD I really wanted to see more of them :|
no subject
I have to agree with FAKE having to be my favorite yaoi manga too (even if it's sadly less popular than Gravi and has a depressingly small number of fics ;_;). Gravitation was my first love and has that soap opera-ish appeal to it, but FAKE is just overall around better in plot and characterization. And yeah, the latter parts of Gravi were too wacky for my taste and I kept on wondering why Shuichi was looking younger and younger in each volume. O_o
I like Tatsuha/Ryuichi too, even if it's difficult to find good fanfics for them. Hawk Cloud's fics were the best I could find for them. <3
YES, Mirai no Kikou/Kaze no Yukue (it's called Future Lovers over here, which I don't quite get)! If there's a yaoi couple who deserved to have a lot more pagetime, it's them. But I really can't complain as they did get one volume more than the majority of yaoi couples receive and managed to have a satisfactory conclusion without feeling rushed or prolonged. (They practically got married! How awesome is THAT?)
no subject
FAKE is totally better, plot wise. I adore Gravi, and I will probably always consider it my main fandom, but FAKE = ♥. And it has the advantage of having less fic but with great quality (though bad things do pop up...). I mean, it has tons of JJ/Drake fics, which is LOVE. LOL fans often joke that Gravi Ex is shota. Shuichi certainly looks like some shota kid.
My personal favorites are LuV2Writ3 (http://www.fanfiction.net/u/601322/LuV2Writ3)'s fics. One of my longest writing!crushes. <3
Totally. They deserved more love. Though, maybe it's better that it stayed that way. I mean, longer series sometimes just... ruin things ^^;. I always wondered about the "Future Lovers" bit, but, well. (Very awesome! I always laugh happily at them, especially at the whole "using the students to win grandpa" thing. It was adorable. XD)
no subject
I actually haven't checked that community out, as I first got into the Gravi fandom through Fanfiction.net way back when I didn't have a LiveJournal account. *looks through the archives* Whoa, people are still posting? I even recognize some of those names...I'll certainly have to do an archive binge there when I have time.
I reeeally need to get a hold of the FAKE sequel. Do you have any FAKE fanfic recommendations, by the way? I'm definitely going to check out the author profile you linked to. <3
Yeah, I do believe that Kento and Akira's story played out exactly the way it should have with just the right amount of pages. As much as I would have loved to read more of them, the short volume length meant that they ended on a high note without suffering from writer's fatigue or convoluted plot obstaclces. (Kento's grandpa in general cracked me up every time he appeared. I had to laugh at even his "funeral." XD Not to mention that Kento and Akira themselves have priceless expressions in the humorous parts -- Akira bitching about how he's becoming an emotional sap like Kento, ohmygod.)
Oh, and out of curiosity, do you know of any other good yaoi manga? I sometimes take a shot at reading the ones uploaded on Manga Fox, but it's a bit hard to weed out the gems from the humdrum/crappy stuff, especially because I don't go for non-con or stories that don't devote enough time to the development of the relationship or only focus on how hot the characters look together.
no subject
and because she is kind of going the way of my OTP *cough*and yes, the comm is still active! :D Mainly since Gravi Ex came out.Gimme a few minutes for the recs. I'll check my favs and be really OCD and make a neat list. XD And FAKE II is quite good indeed. Again, way more fond of the previous drawing style, but this one at least doesn't involve shota boys.
Oh, totally. I really feared something really shitty was going to happen, or something, so I was so glad about how things were done. Even the girl with the crush on Kento was so nicely done (I mean, a manga with the girls not being bitches? I rejoice! And grandpa was priceless. I actually adored him to bits. Too fun not to. Also, it was awesome to see them rubbing off on each other, no pun intended. XD)
Oh~ "Tokaido Kisame" and its sequel. So far it's very good. I would also rec the infamous Chintsubu/Chinko no Tsubuyaki manga. It's quite possibly the most hilarious yaoi manga to ever be done, though it is definitely not worksafe (and its basic premise is being done in Hetalia form, too, so if you like it I'll link you to that too :D). "Hybrid Child" is love (from Junjou Romantica's mangaka, which I also recommend! The first couple is kind of cliche'd, though it is adorable from time to time, but the other two, especially the second, have their charm). "Hikari no machi" is another one I adored. "Oka no Ue no Rakuen" managed to be quite adorable.
I really, really to make another line to rec you "Otona no Mondai". Awesome, fucking awesome stuff.
And there's Naono Bohra. :D She draws masculine guys, which is totally awesome, though she hits some cliches and wallbangers in a one-shot or two, she's generally delightful to read. She tends to draw older-looking or scarred guys, in case that's not your thing.
There's another manga I really wanted to rec but I can't find it... and I don't remember the title. :///
/working on the fic!rec list.
no subject
A whole list of FAKE fic!recs? That would so make my week. You are AWESOME. (Why is everyone in this fandom so unbelievably awesome?)
no subject
And an awesome manga makes for an awesome fandom ♥. Now I shall drop dead in bed. XD Hope that was useful. Though now that I see it, they're too few. :|
no subject
And lol almost all of the pairings we love are the same. XD
And I also love books in general! ♥
Friends? /hope you don't mind someone very random. XD;
