Description
Edit 1 Before any of you self righteous bastards even start, I tell you now that i drew this, because I feel badly for the individual dead, and sympathy for their living relatives now hit with such grief at their loss.I use Hetalia characters because I like it, and because it's a convenient personification. I refer to Japan because they got hit most, but I care about the individuals.
So before you begin your ranting about how I only care about my fandoms, or how I don't really get how the victims feel, or else, that I only care because it's Japan, you can shut your holes right now, and find someone else to whine at
End Edit
I've been following the tragedy in Japan since Friday, and I wanted to do something for it.
When I saw this, I was inspired [link]
Japan, you didn't even need to ask.
(I'm not trying to have Britain outshine the sympathy of the rest of the world, but being English, I don't feel I can really speak for the rest of the world)

Luckily my particular picture hasn't been popular enough to garner the attention of those people, but I appreciate you saying so ^^

Don't you just love hypocrisy? X)

This is why I wish things were like Grand Theft Auto, cause you can do whatever you want to them

Oh quite!

I really find this to be a really powerful and moving piece especially given that the characters in Hetalia really seem to care about one another.

That was what I was trying to get across, but all people see are anime freaks, weebos, and all those sort of people. It's sad really that people choose to see that side of it rather than the genuine concern

What is more the real message in Hetalia for me is that, ignoring the things done to play for laughs, is to see that we really are not so different and should respect and care for eachother as human being.
One example is that I feel detached from some of my fellow Americans because some of them blame an entire people for the actions of a few.
Ironically thinking about the relationships of the characters and seeing Britan and Japan I think that America's whole belief in his being a hero would put him in a great deal of heartache due to the number of lives lost in that event.
Such as the fact that even those who are strong cannot stop natural disasters. For some reason I just imagine America crying at the loss of life.
I am sorry for the length though that was just something that was strong in my mind.

I like Hetalia because it takes many of the stereotypes and eccentricities of various peoples from a variety of countries, and bashes the hell out of them in hilarious ways. Not only is it damned hilarious, but I find it lessens feeling of hate in that way

Agreed. I love each of the characters to differing degrees. Except Belarus, honestly I don't dislike her. But she scares the crap out of me.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes, she frightens Russia, which is enough to frighten me too O.o

I feel kinda bad for Canada. Never really noticed by anyone. Not even by his own Bear.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
If you are adding to the joke about no one noticing Canada not even America (His brother) just know I just laughed so hard I fell out of my chair.
If you are curious about the bear though. Canada owns a talking polar bear.

I was adding to the joke. I know Mr. Kumojiro ^^
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes! my first impulse was right!
I've a question though, is there a character you would like to see more of?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Russia. Russia amuses me while also terrifying me
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
He does that for everyone. For me America's Ego is incredbly acurate and hilarious. Especially when he considered trying to build a giant robot to combat global warming.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That's something I'd expect Japan to get into
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
He is, its just that no one else is. So bad luck America.

I think everyone's afraid that Switzerland will hit them with his peace prize if they do
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Who wouldn't fear that? I sure don't want to be (ironically) hit by a peace prize.

Well it'd be a talking point

Touche. By the way how do you feel about the allies nickname "Justice Destiny Strike Freedom."

I think I prefer their attack plan. You know, Attack Plan ALpha, as in alpha dog... woof

You want Britain to go on a suicide charge?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hell no, I want France to give up without a struggle
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well maybe I want America to be the hero. But no Britain Suicide for me either.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hold on. Question. What'll you be doing?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'll be the hero beside America of course! (insert hammy laughter)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well no thanks, I'll not be partisan to another of your hair-brained schemes

Why do you hate us? Does it have someting to do with the revolutionary war? 'Cause you and I were not around for that.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well considering that you're illiterate and not our leader, my mind wonders why you're even talking. You're probably going to die the pathetic fat, diabetic you'll likely become on your strictly hamburger diet

Since we're sharing our feelings those pastries you served me when I visited your house the other day tasted like petrified couch stuffing.

How dare you! That was a recipe from my mumsey! *chokes you*

(While gagging France comes from nowhere) When you two are done releasing sexual tensions we have got a meeting we need to finish.

No way! France actually made a rational point!

(catches breath) Sorry that was childish and things got out of hand.

So fair! It's my job to be mature!!

(France) Seriously you two we have more important things to worry about before settling on our world plans like what to do about those tacky military clothes.

(England and America): BUT THIS IS WAR!! AND YOU'RE WEARING A CAPE!!

(France): Its a cloak no.

(Russia): *Jiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii*

Okay you have stumped me I am not sure what the proper responce to that is.
PS have you played Dragon Age 2 yet?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
The proper responce would be to back away, very, very swiftly, and calmly (If you don't know, "Jiii" is the Japanese onomatopoeia for staring)
No I have not, unfortunately I have no money. I'll likely get it at some point int he summer
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I did not know but suddenly a scene in Blazblue Continuum Shift where the main character gets stared at by a little girl followed by the character actually saying "Stare" makes alot more sense.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh yeah, it also happens in Lucky Star where Kagami gives Konata a book to read, and watches her read it. That was the longest Jiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii I've ever heard XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well it was not particularly long and I somewhat forget the circumstances but it was disconcerting.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It's meant to be. Also Russia says Jiiiii when he stares at Japan, then Japan gets a mysterious stomach ache XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
To be fair I am more afraid of the hellish black Aura Russia gets when he thinks about "Crushing them with my overwhelming power."
