What a (bad) sense of organisation XD

I've visited the Malbork castle some years ago, it was really cool ^^

[arashee]

[crazedfangrl]

Just so you know I watched your icon for about 3 minutes laughing the whole time... ^///^ power to the ukes

[little_bakemono]

Fuck yeah!! XD

It's surprisingly interesting to read about your own history in a different lighting for some reason.

[kronos_quartet]

yes, and especially when Liet here in "Hetalia" is such an unbelieveably nice and poor guy xD I was surprised how much place Toris got in these series since we even sell T-shirts with writings "I love Lithuania! ...but where is it?...". Though I still shudder looking at lietXrus pairing.. xD

"And we totally have to pick mushrooms too!"

I really, really liked this line for some reason... XDDDD

[darjur]

Picking mushrooms in the forest is one of the most usual hobbies for the older generations around here.

[red_underthebed]

Mushroom picking is common where I live as well, but it seemed strange to say that in a Valley girl accent. ^^;; It's the wrong demographic, I suppose.

[darjur]

Hmm true, I see what you mean now. It is quite amusing when you notice that.

[rosetintedstars]

did this really happen?? as in, they retreated because they had to harvest crops?!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siege_of_Marienburg_(1410)

News of Teutonic reinforcements from the West and relief troops from Livonia prompted the Lithuanian Grand Duke Vytautas to withdraw from hostilities. It became clear to the remaining Poles that the siege would not be effective as the nobility from Lesser Poland also wanted to end the war before the harvest, and the siege was eventually lifted on 19 September.

Looks like it's half of the truth.

i see! wow you're from lithuania??

is it. uhm. really as nice a country as hetalia puts it to be? :o *curious*

What concerns the population, both yes and no.

Cut Toris's hair and he would probably be the stereotype for a traditional Lithuanian, minus the name, I haven't heard of anyone being called Toris before. But that being said, a lot of the population doesn't follow the tradition and we have our fair share of assholes as well. So it mostly just depends on the group of people you hang out with.

What concerns the country itself, I can't really answer. I haven't seen any strips that emphasize on it to give me a point of comparison.

Wow, it's showing the way how polish nobility was treating lithuanian peasants in an interesting way.

Thanks!
