Age of the Steam Pirate

The world nearly ended with the last World War - empires had fallen, some countries had nearly disappeared, monarchies had collapsed and, to the shock of all humans in the know... nearly all the Nations had died. Warnings had been left behind as the last time the world lost it's personified nations it brought about a Dark Age so long that it set back human development hundreds of years. Terrified by what had happened, the leaders of the world called a ceasefire - a brief era of peace that the world hadn't experienced in all it's history.

And that was when the Nations began to re-incarnate. A few were found by their governments early on and taken in so they would be raised properly - a race began in every country to find the child that represented them. As these children grew, the technological growth was massive and, suddenly, ships could be found flying through the air and weaponry, medicine, transportation, housing and all forms of entertainment were entirely different than they were even ten years prior. There were even cities in the sky!

The world as a whole rejoiced - they were recovering and amidst the baby boom the rest of the Nations were born.

Then the world screamed with fear as a new generation of Pirates was born. Caught off guard, there was no way to defend against the new terror - the ships on the sea were at the mercy of a pirates guild so old and well hidden that any naval force could not resist them and the skies were raining merchant debris as a new generation of pirates began to terrorize. The leaders of the world were at a loss on how to fight back... and when they turned around, those Nations that they had been searching for had all somehow been attracted to those Pirates and were parts of crews. People began to wonder if this was the Nations getting retribution for their deaths...

This is where your adventure begins - amongst the chaos and greed you pick your future. And, of course, the siren song of the Legendary Treasure remains whispered about around every corner.

Age of the Steam Pirate is a Hetalia based roleplay where most of the reincarnated nations are pirates - and where a fair few of them are fighting against them as members of various navies. With pirating and steampunk galore, there is no end to the treasure, the dog fights, the looting and pillaging - and all the while, dark plots are abound in the background, waiting to spring and bring an end to all.

We are amaturerpg - meaning that sometimes we get a little to a lot descriptive with subjects some would find offensive. As such, while we don't put an age cap on the people who are allowed to role play, we do really want mature, literate people who agree to understand that sometimes there may be subjects they are uncomfortable with. Other than that, we're a fun group who enjoy pillage and plunder as much as the next person. As we very much appreciate longer posts and in depth writing, we call ourselves an english literate rp.

But more importantly steam punk photos :'D Because making a post here is so much easier then on the forum~

Okay, for people that follow me here let me briefly explain. I'm a mod of a steam punk pirate Hetalia role play site entitled Age of the Steam Pirate. It's really cool you should check us out /shot. But right, at Otakon all of us mods/admins sans one managed to attend. So naturally we did a photoshoot!

And here be the photos~~~~~~

Age Of The Steam Pirates

Hello, these are your friendly neighborhood mods/admins! Featuring from left to right Francemod, Iggymod, Koreamod and Lilymod!!!!

And these are your friendly neighborhood mods in a dragon boats. They originated in Korea y'know!

And here are some photos of your mods getting ready for their shoot~!!! Courtesy of Lilymod's friend John (as were the first two photos)

Also featuring seatalia/Caitlin our lovely photographer for the shoot! Who, if any of you board goers were around at the time (I don't think so though), was our original Wales and Belgium!

-hears Swiss cocking his gun- Oh my.

Okay XD And now onto the photoshoot, courtesy of Caitlin~

First, some outdoor shots!

Look at Iggymod being awesome.

And now an attempt to recreate how Arthur and Lily met. But as we had no thugs... Toris was "kindly" asked to fill in :'D

The hero ladies and gentlemen~~~ -somewhere Cat's America-muse screams-

But wait! A wild Francis has appeared!!

Toris outta no where!!!

Aaaw, you just can't win can you Francis?

And now on to the second half of our photoshoot, which took place in a very awesome submarin- I mean airship. Yeah. Totally an airship!

Sadly though due to lighting a lot of our photos came out blurry ;; But here are the ones that survived!

Yes, we were pointing at our respective countries. We are that amazing.

Ze mods. We should form a band or something.

And right. Putting a sock on my commentary. HERE ARE SOME SHOTS FROM THE "AIRSHIP"

It wouldn't be Arthur or Francis if there wasn't at least ONE arguement.

Francis what are you doing?

Whatever it is, Arthur is not amused. And Toris is perplexed.

The world may never know... Oh well.

... Totally lied about keeping a sock in it. I LIKE COMMENTRY OKAY ;;?

Arthur's just gonna have a chat with Gurt now. Nbd.

"I think he's crazy."

"I am not!"

"Brb, getting out of here. You're all crazy"

Meanwhile, Francis and Lily will just gesture with their hands and make things blurry.

I will punch any of my friends who comment to this going "CAT YOUR SO MOE" :l

I donno why, but to me it looks like Francis here has a total "bitch please" expression. Which is hilarious as it follows the above pictures XD

And now have some Toris!

Luff rejected?

... What are we looking at...

Lily, not knowing what to do on an "airship" since 2011. Er, 1981...ish.

Oh man. Okay. I have to pause here for a story. Originally I remembered Caitlin had wanted to get a photo of each of us going through the doors of the "airship". I'm not sure why Koreamod and I did not get one. However let me tell you guys, those doors were not made for dress or heels. And everytime I had to go through one I shouted "WHY DID I THINK THIS WAS A GOOD IDEA!?" and "THIS WAS NOT DESIGN FOR DRESSES!" or something along those lines.

I'm pretty sure the others laughed at me :l

A little respite for the sky pirates.

Oh hey, we found the sick bay!

Lily finally knows what to do on the ship.

So four pirates walk into a resturant?

It looks like it's time for a Captains meeting.

Present your map piece.

Sudden attack? It's okay. Toris's got this.

And such ends our portion of the shoot from inside the "airship". Naturally of course we do have one or two more from on top of it!

Like an obligatory Lily being bamf photo.

Francis is pleased about something...

Alright, this is seriously the last shots we had involving the submar- "airship". So here's an interlude photo~~~

... Lily being drunk? -imagines Vash's reaction- Oh dear...

In retrospect, that's the result of this:

And it led me to be very sick/dizzy and having to sit down. Thankfully the others helped me not wander into anything while stumbling, provided me with a coat to sit down on on the ground, and got me water.

It really was not one of my most brilliant of moves XD;;;;;

ALRIGHT! Now onto the Constelation. Our "pirate" ship.

It looks like a photo to a music album... LET'S FORM A BAND GUYS.

Lily, not knowing what to do on a pirate ship since 2011. Er, 1981...ish.

"Captain" Toris Laurinaitis of the Metall Podsolnuh

Captain Arthur Kirkland of the Grim

Former Captain Francis Bonnefoy of the Le Dame Amour ~~holy crap had to go back to the old board to find that name @@~~

SUDDENLY DANCING!!!

"Do you guys think this is a bad idea?"

Francis, the official bag watcher (Lily what are you doing in the background!?)

Remember. H20 is your friend at cons!

Wandering, it occurred a lot.

Baaaw Toris

WAIT DON'T SHOOOOOOT!!!

Suddenly Fruk?

Oh. Nevermind! It seems their just fighting over who gets to steer the S.S Mod.

Iggymod wins.

Oh well!

Okay. NOW SUDDENLY FRUK!

BUT WAIT!

SUDDENLY AFONSO/PORTUGAL!?!?

Yay for canon board couple?

Actually we'd all decided how I should just ninja switch into my Portugal cosplay at some point. I had joked prior about it, but the other three encouraged me to do it. SO! Remember how I mentioned that spinning making me dizzy/sick? While we were on the Constelation, after dancing Francemod went "GO CHANGE WHILE IGGYMOD'S DISTRACTED!" and I went "OKAY TELL HER I'M NOT FEELING GOOD."

Iggymod was actually worried and thought I was still sick. But as soon as they covered her eyes when I came back she figured it out XD.

The awesome partner in crime for this.

Whose rose sadly broke.

We apparently became Miguel and Tulio from El Dorado? ~~I am okay with this~~

Francis, what are you doing there!!! D<?
... Oh wow I actually just noticed the pretty emroidery on her vest. *A*

I'm actually pretty sure we were "bickering" about something when this photo was snapped.

Afonso: ... I... Have a bad feeling about this.

Wandering. It happened a lot. The boat was so freakin' cool

We found a fan. We stood in front of it for long periods of time because holy crap it was hot as HELL. I was dying even in Lily, and I think that was the lightest outfit out of everyone's!

So we found what I believe was the medical bay. And I immediatly hopped onto the table going "ow. my eye. ow."

Then I sat up and smacked into a lamp.

Caitlin was ninja and got Robyn's reaction RIGHT as it happened XD

So! Then to end the shoot we went on a quick search arond for the brig. Sadly we couldn't find it... So we made due with a random spot!!

;w; TORIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIS

A reenactment from the thread where Afonso and Arthur met... Oh Lord that was so long ago ~~I was so bad at RPing 'fonso back then too. Oh Lorrrrd~~

It wouldn't be a photoshoot if someone didn't catch a photo of me making a derp face.

She stole the pirate hat... Btw, I need to mail the hats to you guys (and the curl France!!) I should... Poke you guys for your addresses.

This was when Caitlin told me to strike a Molto Bene pose. But I couldn't remember it. So I did this instead. This is my version of molto bene?

So you know that scene from Pirates 3? We decided to reinact it. Sort of. Using our normal telescope and the little one Francemod had!

We also briefly took photos of how the first thread with Arthur and Afonso ended~

Exchaging map piece and compass~ :l One day 'fonso will ask for that back. Honest.

And now something I tried to make into a gif but couldn't -sad face-

Francis really just can't win.

But it's okay.

He found a mermaid later on :'P

And that's it for this photoshoot!!! I hope we can do another one next time we're all at a con together ;; Which admittedly won't be for a while as next year we're aiming for Portugal!!! Seriously though it was amazing and I miss you three a lot ;;

Before I end this post though I'd like to share two random little stories that also tie into this amazing shoot!

The first is short and sweet, but while we were hanging around the boats after we had finished, just chatting and such, people kept coming up to us. As we were dressed rather piratey, I suppose they thought we were apart of the boats and kept asking for photos with us. I'm pretty use to this as in the past whenever I've been in Mercedes I had at least someone ask to take a photo of me while we'd be walking back to the hotel or around. So we'd hand out our props and such to the kids. But then suddenly one guy asked "how much is it for a photo?" And we all stared dumbly before going "uh... It's free." It was an amusing event XD

The second story is after we got back to the hotel. As you can tell most of us are in heels. Which are not meant for walking around on boats. As such our feet were killing us. When we got to our floor, France there stopped to take off her boots and I was helping her. A cleaning lady was next to us and asked if we were alright, we were like "Yeah, our feet just hurt y'know heels" blah blah. And she nodded. So we get the boots off and we're heading to the room. The cleaning lady stops Robyn, takes out a bottle of champagne and tucks it into her bag telling her we should all just go rest and relax. We stopped and stared and the bottle is currently sitting in my fridge waiting for my mom and aunt to crack it open to toast the new house. But yeah. We got free champagne. It was one of those awesome and hilarious wtf did that seriously happen moments.

Annnd that's about it! Oh but right! I do have one more photo for you all!!

Yeah... Iggymod and Lilymod our the coolest. ~~We burst out laughing right after this. And no, we did not buy those glasses.~~ Not featured is Dorra looking adorable in every single hat we put on her head :l

Okay, that reall is it <3 I hope you've all enjoyed this photoshoot post! If you wanna see all the photos, including the blurry ones and the ones I didn't include here (there are a few? not really but shh) you can see them here!

Also, if your curious about our lovely RP, feel free to browse around Age of the Steam Pirate! We're all very friendly :'D

Alright~ That's it for me. Hope you all enjoyed!

I HOPE THIS POST CHEERS UP ANYONE IN A SAD MOOD!!!

digitalhopper — Wed, 13 Jan 2010 08:32:28 GMT

This is written soley to make Megan laugh. It is pure crack. Don't take any offense!

Once upon a time in a galaxy far, far away, lived a peaceful little kingdom. And within that kingdom lived the beautiful Princess Yao White. The Princess, who was really a boy but his mother had always wanted a daughter, so yeah. Princess Yao White was greatly loved, but alas, one day his mother, America, died. Of eating far too many hamburgers. Princess Yao White was deeply saddened. As was his father, King France. However as time progressed King France fell in love again, with a beautiful, Queen England (well, if you considered eyebrows beautiful).

Princess Yao White did not enjoy his new step-mother though. Especially since Queen England liked to make Yao White do lots of stupid chores.

One day, Queen England sat in front of his magic, magic mirror.

“Mirror, mirror on the wall, who’s the fairest of them all?” Queen England asked. Because he was like, vain like that. But hey, with eyebrows like that… Well he needed the ego-boost!

“Ew~ Like wax those eyebrows!” Was the comment that Queen England was always greeted with. And the blond cross dressing boy in the mirror who was filing his nails. Queen England felt his eyebrow twitch.

“Answer the bloody question or I’m going to smash this mirror into tw-”

“Okay, okay, like don’t get your panties in a twist!” The blond, Poland, responded. “Like, are you sure you wanna know? Cause you totally won’t like the answer?”

Queen England raised his fist in response.

“Okay, okay! Like, you’re totally, like the fairest and all that jazz. But like, the fairest one in the land totally isn’t you.” The blond raised his hands in an attempt to protect himself. “Don’t smash me!”

“Whose the fairest then!?”

“I cannot tell a lie, it’s like, totally Princess Yao White!”

“… WHAT!?”

Later that day, Queen England pulled aside the huntsman Switzerland, ordering him to take Princess Yao White into the woods and kill his. In return, the huntsman would get all the Swiss Chocolate he would ever want.

So the Huntsman Switzerland took the Princess Yao White deep into the woods. And while Yao White admired the different sorts of herbs and plant life, the huntsman cocked his gun. When Yao White turned around, and saw the gun pointed at his forehead his eyes widened. There was a terrifying still moment, before the huntsman groaned, lowering his gun. “Dammit, you’re lucky.”

“H-Huh?”

“Liechtenstein will be upset with me,” the Swiss scowled, holstering his weapon, before shoving Yao White towards another path. “Quick! You have to run. The evil Queen England wants to kill you.”

“… Why!?”

“I donno. But that’s beside the point! Run or I’ll just shoot you and save us all the trouble of hearing this stupid story!”

By use of narrator powers, Yao White fled through the woods. He continued along his way until he stumbled upon a quaint little cottage. Curiously he approached, knocking on the door. He received no answer, so, naturally, he went inside. He discovered tiny little furniture. As if it was for children. All in sets of seven. Taking the stairs up to the second floor, he came across the bed room. Where he found seven small beds, names on each of them:

Germany(Doc), Greece (Sleepy), Italy (Dopey), Romano (Grumpy), Spain (Happy), Japan (Sneezey), Canada (Bashful). Blinking in confusion Yao White stared at the names, before shrugging and going to sleep.

Later on, Yao White was awakened to a very loud VE~.

Apparently, he stumbled upon the house of 7 Dwarves. At first, they seemed ready to kick him out. But after Yao White explained his situation, well…

Well Italy cried and begged Germany to let him stay. Greece slept on Japan who seemed not to mind. Romano was busy trying to kill Spain to care and Canada… Well, he just stood off to the side trying to remind his polar bear who he was.

In the end, Yao White was allowed to stay, but on the condition that he would help do chores around the house.

So time passed by, and the Dwarves and Yao White lived happily. And Queen England too was happy.

Until he approached his taped up mirror.

“Oi! Poland, who’s the fairest now.”

“Like, still Yao White,” the Pole responded painting his nails. Queen England nearly smashed the mirror again.

“WHAT!?”

“Like, he’s totally alive. Living with some midgets in the forests.”

“Where!?”

“Um, here,” Poland announced holding up a map. “You go into like the woods, take a left at the creepy tree with like the picture of Belarus, and then keep going straight.”

Queen England was off.

Poland blinked. “You're like… Welcome?”

Queen England raced towards the house of the 7 Dwarves. Using his hocus pocus to disguise himself as a creepy old lady when he neared.

The Dwarves were out at the moment, busy creating something with GERMAN EFFICIENCY! The best kind of efficiency ever. Yao White was busy cleaning the tables when the disguised Queen England approached.

“Would you like to buy some shumai?” He offered through the window gaining Yao White’s attention. It had been a long while since he had had that.

So naturally, he took the shumai, taking a happy. However the moment he took a bite…

He ‘died’ from the horrible cooking.

Queen England meanwhile saw this as a success, and went home.

When the Dwarves arrived home they were all very sad. So they built a Shinatty styled coffin for Yao White and mourned for her. Against the walls of their house.

However, one day, this mourning stopped.

“Who is this beautiful man?” A foreign prince asked, his name Ivan, tilting his head to one side. It was Germany that answered.

“This is Yao White.”

“He is very beautiful,” Ivan commented, blinking wide violet eyes. “Can I kiss him?”

“What!?” Germany shouted, while Italy swooned.

“Oh! Oh! Oh! Like in Sleeping Beauty!? Of course of course!”

“Italy! What have I told you about letting random strangers kiss people!?”

“Not… To let it happen?”

But it was too late. Prince Ivan had opened the shinatty styled coffin, kissing Yao White’s lips.

And like Sleeping Beauty, Yao White’s eyes fluttered open. And as you can imagine, it was love at first sight.

The two rode off into the sunset, and were wed a month later, the 7 Dwarves all cheering happily.

And it truly was, a happily ever after.

Except for Queen England, who just sulked in his room and never won anything.

Ah World Hetalia Day~ You were epically insane.

So let’s get down too it shall we?

For the past weeks Megan and I have been claiming that I was not going to WHD, due to school work. I even went as far as to tell everyone I actually went home this weekend~ Ahaha, we’re so bad. So right. The past few days were spent finishing America’s coat, so that I could properly attend, as our original plan was that Amanda/Canada was s'pose to come down and wear her Military!Canada. So we were gonna match. That didn't happen though, cause of weather ;; I missed her greatly.

And, I probably confused the hell outta people with complaining about stars and circles and planes. Because they are EVIL. But I finished the jacket Friday night while on the phone with Megan and Kate. Was so ecstatic (Cause like... I've been dying to have a complete America cosplay for AGES. My causal ones nice and all b-but... ;; I'm so happy to have his proper outfit. AND JACKET!!!) And then went to be around 4 am only to wake up around 8ish, get up, put on majority of the cosplay, make sure I had everything else in my back pack and then walked to the train station and called Megan to make sure she was awake. Took the train, got to Penn. Found this freak walking around with a giant panda, watched said freak get Tim Horton's and then went to the bathroom to get fully into America and China cosplays/Made Megan channel England while she fixed my blazer. And then I jetted off while she went to meet up with Kat and Kawaii and the others in Borders. Kat <3 thank you for keeping the secret too~

So right, essentially our plan was to head to the UN building first, then go to the big group, and then go down to the UN with them. We wanted to get there a bit early, just to get some single shots/scoop out good locations for photos. Unfortunately... Things happened, and we left the UN without even going in... It’s a long story. And honestly, I don't wanna bother getting into it because it goes against what this day was about :P But we didn't get kicked out. Let me assure anyone reading this about that.

Regardless though, gotta say guys, when I saw you all coming I could not stop grinning. I'm so happy the surprise worked out very well! But I will also state. I am never doing that again. I was a nervous wreck trying to get there alone and then waiting by myself with that security guard giving me the evil eye ;; But it was so good to see you all~

So, we left, I found my good buddies John and Annemarie, and eventually Hong Kong who later transformed into England~ And my jacket my jacket at times. It was also determined that America is totally Hong Kong's big brother, and has to fix his tie for him. And while Spain has knee attacks, Portugal has elbow attacks, and Portugal still does not approve of his brothers friends with Lovi. And pandas are still emergency rations. And Kat still takes amazing pictures. And I am still amused John works in a beer company when he has no interest in beer! And I'm still like 'omg that jacket is amazing' Hong Kong :P And you make an adorable England, and we should figure out why wigs don't like you.

We finally reached Bryant Park and the big group. And... Apparently I was the first America to arrive... And was promptly attacked with hugs... Which I did not expect, and felt very overwhelmed over. Like seriously oO; But it was a good type of overwhelming. Though then I stared at the others and questioned why I was always to first America to arrive at places (for a while I was the only America at the AN picnic).

Needless to say, as per usual, I was running around a lot. And not to self. Make pockets better on America's tan blazer SO MY PHONE DOES NOT FALL OUT WHILE RUNNING AND INTO PUDDLES AND THEN I HAVE TO GO TO THE ASIANS AND BRITANNIA ANGEL FOR MAGICAL ASSISTANCE AND THEN IN THE END NEED TO GET A NEW PHONES orz; *dies in a corner* Yeah... After that last drop my phone was like "EF YOU CAT" and died... John also forbid me from carrying it I think XD I'm such a dummy. Honestly. orz;

But right. So the shoot! Uh... I'm trying to think of memorable experiences. But it’s really such a blur of epicness. However, I do remember as soon as I arrived getting handed this amazing American flag cookie by Seychelles (who was so adorable, and now will make me shout 'Lil Sister' at any Seychelles I see as America)! And then a USxJapan doujin... That I looked through with Japan... And I also think I did just about every couple shot for America XD Seriously. It was awesome.

And of course, I got to chill with a lot of my awesome friends, meet new ones, and just have plain old shenanigans! And gah, I really can’t think of what to say. There was so much running around. So much “TO UMBRELLAS”. So much AWESOME! I still love how when we saw the, I believe Asian Nations carry over one of the big umbrellas, and one of the workers came over John, Annemarie and I were sure he was gonna tell us to put it back… But he ended up just opening it XD

And then, chilling under my umbrella with Megan, angsting over how we didn’t have RevWar outfits done… Only to see Russia changing out of her Bloody Sunday uniform and into Rev!England! I felt so awesome to be able to take pics with her o_o And desperately angsted over not having Rev!America… Pfft Megan, this Winter break. You and me and a sewing machine. We’re making them.

So right. Um, again, pure shenanigans and epic photos at the meet up. Then, cuz Spain had to be at her bus station at 6:30ish… And we still hadn’t eaten, and needed to go get bias tapes, we unfortunately had to depart ;; And we went to a Mexican restaurant. Where our waiter failed at life so we didn’t actually get around to going to get bias tape because food took forever. But it was still fun. And we gotta hang out with lotsa people~ And the Asians totally crashed our dinner :P And Kawaii let me see the One Coin figures in person *_* I-I want them still… And now that I KNOW what they look like. They were so tinyyyyyy!!!! And cool.

And then, after dinner we all had to go separate ways… And again it was just me and Megan. Lol. It’s always just us. And we headed to ToysRUs to get a ‘gift’ for Kate for Gakuen in a couple weeks (we need to name it). But as we were going to pay…

“America! China!”

“HOLY SHIT YOU KNOW WHO WE ARE!?”

Yeah. Totally found Hetalia fans workin’ at ToysRUs and got into an epic conversation with them. They were so cool. And I really hope to see them at future cons~

Annnd, I don’t know what else to say. Besides you all rocked. And despite the rain, the shoot was epic. So here, have some photos! And I apologize for any red eyes... I guess the no-red-eye setting was off orz; Also, I know my white shirt keeps sticking out. However, when I tucked it in YOU COULD TELL. And I didn't have access to safety pins orz; I apologize.

First pic of the day was while waiting for le bus. And while the photoshoot did not occur there... Considering it was essentially the UN at Bryant Park I still find this fitting :P

So right, the actually photoshoot photos~ Naturally, I bust out my camera right in time for USUK~

I... Don't remember...

And then I had to help China with his hair.

And then Cold War occurred. And seriously... These shots make me look so much more epic then I really am.

Guys, Leninaide tastes/smells really good. Just so you all

And then JapanxUS occurred. And Cat bursting out into singing "I feel pretty" while playing with Japan's parasol. Btw, Japan you rock~

And then I still also really love this pic...

APPARENTLY while this was going on, Korea and Japan (military Japan) had this epic post-it war battle. Only to team up in the end and attack other Nations D<

Just look at those schemers!!!

I do not fail! Heroes never fail! D< (I wanna know what the hell I did with that post it note... ;; -wanted to keep it. Might've crumbled it by accident though-)

Right, then the photoshoot proper began~Where we all learned that Prussia and China were whores :P And there was lotsa running to umbrellas for cover. And I actually got to take my camera back and take photos for myself! (Either Annemarie or Megan had been taking photos with my camera at this point @_@)

Also, another America arrived. And I flailed with joy for I was no longer alone! And the shoot was totally graced by double the awesomeness /shot for channeling America there

First up, RussiaPrussiaRussia

New World Family (And America and Canada being mean siblings, well, America). ilu Lil Sister~

Then more Cold War. Alas, I don't have a pic of me and her pretending to kiss behind the scarf. I was highly amused how long it seemed to take people to notice XD

Then Rochu, meaning Megan's OTP-need was filled for the day.

And as this is her OTP... Had to get close ups of her or else she'd slaughter me with the ~~emergency rations~~ panda orz;

But these two made me aw so much

And then...Financial crisis ;; Japan approves.

And the other Japan had the best reaction. She wasn't in the picture at first and we shouted over to her saying "FINANCIAL CRISIS" and she was like "Fuck yes!" And ran over.

Now... Are you all ready to die of adorableness? Like, so cute you might get diabeties? You better be, cause here's Spamono

Pfft, Caitlin, Nicole, never stop being so freakin' adorable!

And then Korea came and found his aniki

And was totally pimpin' ~~(You make your new aniki so proud Korea!!! -manry tears!-)~~

And then commies, not shown is Korea carrying Megan off. Damn wish I had tapped that!!!

And then, naturally...

THE ALLIES

THE AXIS (Prussia and Romano are representing their brothers)

ALLIES VS. AXIS!!! (Where China and Japan had an epic thumb war, and Romano had a shoot off)

Then some HungaryxAustriaxPrussia~ (and frying pan)

Then PrussiaxAustria (I freakin' loved your skirt btw Austria!)

And then... The British Empire... *pouts*

Greece and Japan bond over kitties!

USUK, again XD

I don't know what you two were looking at... Probably the oncoming rain... But it amuses me SO MUCH. And I DON'T know WHY XDD

North American bros yo!

And then Finland~ Who freakin rocked ;; you were so awesome. I wish I got to talk to you a bit mooore.

Then FinlandxRussia

Scared Seychelles is scared.

Some Franada~

Nations taking shelter from the rain

And then Megan was very awesome and asked England if she would take some shots with me ~_~ *far too shy sometimes*

And then, the rain cleared. And more USxJapan occurred. And while one set exchange food/candy... The other stare longingly at one another~

And then America and Japan had a fight... While America and Japan watched

And then we made a Japan sandwich :D

And then... Prepare for angsty Rev!England!

"You were once so big"

And then naturally. Us America's needed to swoop in for the rescue and give her a hug.

And then this shot... aiohagioagh *_* That was a really good idea. And after reading Seychelles history tidbit in her entry, its even more wiiin

And then, as per usual, Megan and I were dorks. We will one day do serious photos! Honest!

Then there was some random frolicking. And Megan and I flashed back to AN '09.

And I had to get one shot with this Canada here. Besides the group I came with, she was the only other person I actually knew prior. And I've been seeing her Canada shots on DA ;; For so long I've wanted to get a picture with her as Canada and me as America...

AND THEN ENGLAND WENT A RUINED IT D< jk, you photobombed it well... And Now looking at it... There's France... Unintentional New World Family photo?

And behold! The non-cosplayers! The epic people who sometimes took photos in the rain for some of cosplayers and were just plan awesomesauce.

I unfortunately did not get a shot of all us cosplayers together... Cause I felt bad for all the photographers. I do have one for all of the non-cosplayers. I also, because I did not have my camera, did not get a pic of me with the American flag (provided by Seychelles) and American mask (provided by Canada), where I totally became The Masked Hero... And I think chased China around cause she stole Texas... And then kidnapped Kawaii (who was Hong Kong) and held her hostage to get them back D< And Japan acted as mediator. But oh wells.

After the shoot, as I said, we had to go get food since Spain needed to leave D: So we went out to eat. And the surface was uber slow... And I Portugal'd it up for a bit. Alas, I did not get a pic of us Iberian Peninsula Bros eating at a Mexican resturant...

However, we did manage to document THIS:

Japan cosplayed the Hero :P

Korea went to shank England...

And Spain.

Resturant shenanigans were fuuun. And as I said, after this we all parted ways. Megan and I located more Hetalia fans in ToysRUs, and then we both went home where I collapsed. Then got an IM from John telling me to call my Mom, cause she was worried... So I hobbled into suitemates room to hijack a cell phone XD

Hetalia Day '09 was epic. You all freakin' rocked and I'm so happy I got to go and be apart of something so EPIC. I miss you all.

And now its like 2 am... I need to go sleep. I hope you all enjoyed!

Hetalia New York Invation

digitalhopper — Mon, 13 Jul 2009 19:50:37 GMT

Hello all~

Ah~ Lovely day was had Saturday in the city with Hetalia-peeps.

So let's get started, shall we? :3

Day started out early @_@ Woke up to get an early train. Hung out in Borders until Megan so RUDELY tapped the glass behind me and scared the crap outta me >>; ass. Met her lovely friend Amanda, that ish Belgium~ She was quite awesome. I bet she was wondering what the Hell was wrong with all of us though XD We hung around. South and North (though she was Hong Kong atm) arrived...

And I was promptly groped.

._. THAANKS SOUTH! /sarcasm

We kinda invaded the bathroom. But when it started to get awkward we all opted to head over to Kino. And upon arriving we invaded that bathroom to change/put wigs on.

Thus, we became Punk!England, Punk!America, Hong Kong and Korea~ Which was epic. Though I was embarressed a bit at times (I get shy sometimes. And Korea, England, it did not help that you two WERE SO LOUD!)

I'd also like to point out... Nantucket DIED. Thanks to SOMEONE *stares a North* ~~Stop nuking it!!!~~

Read awesome effin doujins from Hong Kong-senpaiii~ (she's my doujin-senpai now XD). They were awesome. Eventually France, Russia and Prussia arrived. And we all headed upstairs to look around. Random people from deviantart, who seemed to be having a gathering of sorts, talked to us. Donno what that was about though. I know some were taking photos... And I did disturb one of them with the doujins :D (I lol-ed, cause I was looking at the adorable one when he started freaking... Then I got out the kinda bad one >>; But nothing was shown... Except a butt).

So, eventually Austria arrived with her pals. So we got to see her for a while, but she didn't stay with us as she was seeing the VAMPS concert. Which was apparently very awesome~

Um, but right. We did eventually split. As we were hungry. So we headed in the direction of Times Square I believe (I was mocked the entire time that I, America, failed at giving directions in the city. We followed England most of the time... -fail-)

Got McDonalds, even though I really hate that food >.< But... We were hungry. And it was the first thing we really saw XD

So, we had food~ And were eventually joined by Seataly and her friends!

Of course... At McDonald's, the first bit of crack occurred...

France: Be right back, gotta fix the wig!
America: I'll come with youu! I have to go!
*two leave*
*two return*
Everyone: WHAT ARE YOU TWO WEARING!?
Prussia: *approves?*

:X We switched hats, kinda. I gave her my bandana (which had been tied to my belt. And I took her beret, which I had actually been wearing earlier.

We honestly didn't expect the spazz, it made us lol.

France... ilu (ah! Who is that ugly person besides her!?)

During our time at McDonald's, I broke out the custom Hetalia deck. And we played the crack game. Which was essentially, people throw down a card and a Nation is written on it. And then we figure out which Nation would win. We got some pretty hilarious ones!

The Jokers won automatically. And for the longest time, Turkey would always win. So would Grandpa Rome... So when they were facing off... Lolz ensued.

Other notable combos were Prussia x Germania x Switzerland, Prussia x Hungary, Rome-jii-chan x Germania x Russia, Russia x Russia x Latvia, and North Korea x South Korea XD

I wish I had taken more photos actually, of these epic combos... I know at one point as well we had HRE and Italy. Aww's ensued. And another one with Hungary and Austria on opposite sides o3o

America attacked people with his American Flag Bandana! (Eff, why do I look so stupid all the time? In my defense... I was laughing in the bottom on... I do like the top one a bunch though...)

So right. We then traveled to ToysRUs, in search for a cat for Greece. But while we were there...

England and France decided to race horsies...

And Russia found a bunny... Which I now own... Its name is White Dove :3 And I will be carrying it around whenever I do Baby!America~

Also, some hilarity ensued while at ToysRUs. Which included a random guy asking us what the Hell was going on, and we pointedly ignored him and kept walking. I apparently was hit on by a random guy who stopped me to ask me about my outfit. Seataly and I stuck together and saved each other from falling down holes. And people got SUGAR.

Alas, after ToysRUs we had to separate from Seataly and her friend D: And then it was time to head to the Met (which we never actually went in XD)

So, time for some ninja subway photos!

I legitimatelytook a nap on Megan's shoulder for a little bit. But before that...

I had to document the adorableness of South

"WHY DO YOU KEEP TAKING PICTURES!?"
Right, so we got of the train. And followed England too the Met. We made a quick stop at 7-11 first though... Where I got Oreos *_*
... Then, aftera block or so. We realized England had gotten us lost. And I, as an aweomse hero, gave Prussia a piggy back ride for a little while... But I think it just terrified her XD
We also found this.

A picture was needed.
When arriving at the Met. We saw a huge sign saying "Francis Bacon" ... Needless to say. France NEEDED a pic.

After that, we all chilled on the steps. And took photos. XD We never actually made it into the Met *fail* But the photos are pretty awesome!

Here we have the Bad Friends Trio... Minus Spain D:

And... This freak... Who had really thick eyebrows...

France, is not amused? *Prussia stole my camera at this point in time apparently.*

D'awwww

LOOK! Its a Hong Kong, Belgium and Korea!!! *point!*

France... You win at life.

"Do you feel uncomfrotable America?"
"Nooo..."

"Lol nevermind! I am!"

Then we found birds!

Then, it was off to the park!

Korea, France and England were really awesome, and let me pose them so I could have a ref. for a picture I need to sketch~

And then Prussia crashed

THEN Prussia stole France's shoes. And a chase occured. You can see it here

s2.photobucket.com/albums/y45/DigitalHopper/Hetalia%20NY%202009/

What's not featured is America chasing after England. Like, epically. And then falling and hurting his hand on the floor D:

Got France's shoes back though *hero pose*

And then... We wandered around...

Then Russia got Gilbo...

Prussia: Ivan... Why is there a bunny on my shoulder?

Russia: No reason :)

France. Again. You win at life.

"Candy Mountain England!"

XD Everytime we saw a bridge, that was said. Therefore. We did have to take bridge photos at one point...

Of course, this spawned XD and we ended up just invading it~

"And it was THIS big"

What 'this' is I do not know.

Just replace England with Spain...

James Bond~ Prussia approves?

"England is British, he has to be bond!"
"France you're the girl"

Again... Imagine England's Spain ;_;

And now... LET'S KIDNAP ENGLAND!

But then France changed his mind...

"BUTT!"

... Rev War inspired pose...

Would look much more epic if, y'know, we were in proper cosplays XD

And then Korea decided England' needed a hug!

And then... The other two joined in. And it kinda sorta looks like RAPE xD

Again, Prussia felt like Myspacing it. Russia joined him

"America... You are a idiot."

Hey everyone, look. Megan actually has green eyes. it only took her about an hour to get the contacts in :P

After this... America and France fought.

s2.photobucket.com/albums/y45/DigitalHopper/Hetalia%20NY%202009/

And then America's master plot to blindfold France back fired...

Fun fact. England also gagged America with the bandana, later on D: Everyone was incredibly happy to hear me shut up.

Also. America did not think properly when taking the bandana off... And transformed into a loud, hyperactive, probably annoying brunette named Cat for a couple mins o3o

And, after figuring out how to stop my camera from removing red eyes... Prussia took more pictures~

Then... Another few rounds of the card game occurred. Though that did get interrupted by random chatting about Hetalia, and history. Which was incredibly interesting o3o I learned stuff! And overrall chaos XD

It was time for seperating though D: So Hong Kong, Korea, England, Belgium and America said there good byes to Prussia, Russia and France.

Um... After that... Well my group took the subway to Chinatown, but by the time we got there it was like... 9... So we ended up just going back to Penn station. While waiting though we had serious chats about things, like Gakuen meet up @_@

When we got back to Penn, we all got food... And America discovered Canada was invading his train station D<

America was not amused.

Actually. At this point we were no longer Nations XD But I think I was still probably channeling Alfred~

But yeah. We all chilled while I was waiting for my train. I was forced into doing my America laugh which... Still sucks... And really, we just sat around chit chatting and eating.

So then, I departed for my train...

And on my wait to my platform I saw a rose. And immediatly thought of France XD

So that was the epicness of NY Hetalia invasion~ I hope we can do it again one day. I miss you guys already!!!!

If y'all want these for your own use/bigger sizes~ Here's the photo bucket link~

Animenext is over D: It was such a blast! And I have to thank all the Hetalia people for making it so amazing. Really, Hetalia made the con. If I could I would've just been America the entire weekend XD But I had other obligations (even though Kamina went KABOOM in my face...)

So right! For full details, check out my journal on DA (usernames DigitalHopper too) but here are some loverly pics~

</style>AnimeNext is over D: It makes me sad. But I did have a blast. And I gotta thank ALL the Hetalia people. You all made my con. From the panel, to chilling in the lobby, to the picnic, to just plain chaos. You all frickin' ROCKED!

For a more detailed report of my shenanigans, you can check out my DA account, DigitalHopper, for a uber long journal.

But now! Its time for pics!!!

I followed my friends to get registered, and BAM I spotted Hungary, Seychelles, I think Egypt and BELGIUM!!!! And they knew who I was suppose to be. It made me happy :D

And then later on. Hetalia seemed to congregate in the lobby of the hotel. And Sealand and Prussia found behind amused Hungary's, and I believe a confused Austria XD

France had been spotted, so Austria hid behind Hungary's frying pan XD Other America photobombed.

And Sealand hid in Hungary's boobs.

And Prussia hijacked my

The panel occurred. Where the somewhat crack pairing of China/America was formed. Megan and I argued the remainder of the con of who would be seme. And incase anyone was confused, that's why we were cat fighting at random times, and she kept shouting 'I'M SEME' when she sat on me.

And for the record. Everyone agrees America would be seme. >3 I win.

And then Digimon crack occurred

And Kouichi fell down some stairs.

And ripped his pants :D

And then it was back to Hetalia... Because Kouichi ripped his pants, and Takuya's feet apparently grew and made the shoes uncomfy. D:

And China promptly got his brests claimed by Korea.

And then, while America was copying Roy Mustang... Sealand decided to attack with a yaoi paddle o3o

And then, there was tree climbing. And Ukraine had to bribe America to get down XD

(Ironically, I was in that tree for a good while Friday. But when I climbed it on Saturday staff told me to get down.)

"Think of Bunnies"

This pics kinda sorta epic, cause of the sky methinks. But I would not recommend trying to balance on the bridge unless you have a lot of people ready to catch you/aren't afraid of falling into the lake.

In the lobby, I saw a Canada. And literally bolted up the stairs to catch her.

And then later on Sealand told me I had missed a second Canada! So she went I found them for me.

And then, it was determind Canada here (who was also Ukraine I believe~) is my Mommy! Why?

Because I was mistaken for Canada FIVE TIMES throughout the con. The irony amused me. And it was decided that I was the child of America and Canada (even if I don't ship that XD). So Canada's my Mommy and America is my Daddy (because he'd be a bad mommy).

Yes. Its crack. I know. And I am still amused that I was mistaken for Canada! XD

Oh SNAP! A Wild Chibi Austria Appeared!

And later on, Australia graced us with his presence (you do not realize how happy I was to see that cosplay XD I love Australia)

War of 2009?

Not featured. America getting dragged off to the pond by England and China. They wanted revenge for the tea that was wasted in the Boston Tea Party o3o;

Also, thanks England. You lead to me getting my vital regions seized by like, THE WORLD xD;

And I also never realized HOW BIG tis got.

And I also gotta hug astachan later~

Later on, Big America came with hamburgers! It made me happy, since I was starving (and dehydrating).

He gave one to France too. But I didn't get pics of that ~~and the aftermath XD~~

Based off a commision I got~

Okay, despite the fact I look stupid *because I was trying not to laugh* I really love this pic XD Astachan~ You made me a very happy America/England fan. You have no idea how happy I was when you agreed to take this picture!

And then, later on after Gurren Lagann and food, Cat and Megan created CRACK

NEAAAARRRR

FAAAAAAARRR

WHERE EVEEEERRR YOU AAAARRRRE *shot*

... If you are this England, I am really sorry for knocking you over/attacking you with a hug/possibly scaring you... >3<

We also frolicked~

s2.photobucket.com/albums/y45/DigitalHopper/AnimeNext%202009/

And at the end of the day. Only Prussia, Little America, Big America, and Fem China remained~ (and when Prussia and Big America left, Megan and I ran after there car to say goodbye XD)

I'd like to thank all you Hetalians for making my weekend amazing. You were all amazing, and its been such a long time since I've made so many new friends at a con.

And I hope every America got a pic with that flag o3o

For more pics/better quality check out my photobucket XD

Thank you all again, so much!
