I've been considering this for a while -- I remembered I gave you some half-crit a few months back and was attempting to find something new and constructive to say -- but I really can't come up with anything creative or beneficial.

Crit first: I do think it would be wonderful to see you interacting with more people than the standard Commie Club, but that's really my selfish desire to see more of you/different situations involving Russia than anything to do with characterization. Though I think there's an awful lot to be said for the practice multiple and varied interactions can give!

I think sometimes, in the crackier circumstances, Russia tends to play the 'straight man' of the tsukkomi/comedy duo. I.e. I notice he sometimes slips into a very dulcet/serious tone, sober. This is really intriguing and a pretty awesome contrariness to add to the crazier situations that arise in the DR, not to mention a refreshing take on Russia's different attitudes, but once or twice I have a hard time imagining Russia actually being so calm sans any other emotion/intent. Does that... make sense...? It's strange, I can only vaguely think of circumstances when this hit me -- it's more like an air he evokes than any one turn of phrase or action of his. It's more than likely just me, and I really, really enjoy when he's this calm beacon of creepy-control, as though he is made of chaos itself. But sometimes it got a bit difficult to remember it was Russia actually acting that way.

Other than that....... you know you've got It. I mean. I'm sort of in love with your Russia. I am ambivalent to Russia as a character in Hetalia, but yours.... OH BABY ♥ Just. Never stop. You are so amazing. ALL THE TIME.

OH JUST TO CLARIFY, I know you've interacted extensively with Alfred and other Russias. Er. XD

First, I will apologize profusely for taking so long to get back to you. I AM SORRY. *bows* You're always so articulate and put so much thought into these things. Thanks so much for the detailed input! :'D

Haha, that's is actually something that I resolved to do a while ago. Putting Russia in with new characters and situations would definitely help me get a better feel for Ivan, and the last thing I want to do is look elitist/start a clique or something (oops too late). I love everyone, really! It's just that I'm little short on time at the moment/the inspiration is not striking me >_>;;

I will assume that I know what you're talking about and put it much less eloquently as being OOC? XD; I initially started playing the way I did because the fanon, sing-song-y Russia annoyed me a bit, so thanks for catching that I'm going a little too far in the opposite direction. I'll try to be more unhinged more often! /o/

I LOVE YOU TOO BB. ALL OF YOUs. &hearts!
