累得很重要哦。。。
Yo guys, it's been a while since I just sat down in front of LiveJournal and made a regular kind of mundane diary post. I feel like what I wanna express right now is more appropriate here than on tumblr or twitter or whatever, and also I've never really expected feedback on LiveJournal so it feels a little bit more like a private journal, even if more people may see it.
Recently I really started getting into the Historical Grid that I signed up for all the way back in October! I had this one snippet from months ago that came with a plot bunny but I never really embellished on it, and around last week I decided heck! Why not? And I just went with it! And it was a blast! Afterwards I felt like I wanted to write even more GerIta and explore the individual characters and what they're like as well as the relationship they might have had in that WWII era and the complications that might have happened and how to portray it into the anthropomorphisms!
And now I'm finding myself reading wikipedia article after another and it's only the most basic level of research, but really let's be realistic, when all you have is a computer and no access to a library (due to only being able to work in the wee hours of the night/morning) it's really the best you can do, especially when all the sources are books. Still! Somehow it's so exciting! It's like I'm back in 2009 and Hetalia fandom wasn't a joke, and everyone had a minimum level of research that they felt obligated to do when writing everything and fics had footnotes and it was so awesome and one of the best fandom things I have ever experienced ever! Except none of those people are in the fandom anymore, so it's just me. It's a little more lonely, but as mirrankei keeps reminding me, that shouldn't matter. It seems like I'm always chasing after that glorious Hetalia-fandom feeling, and doing things like this I can almost manage to catch a little of the sparkle again. . .
shit I was going to write this article again in Chinese but I'm in class now and that will take way too long and I'm too tired so WHATEVER IDGAF.
I miss LiveJournal, it's nice to be back, even if just for a while. Tumblr just ain't the same! It's not worse, but it's not better; it's just really different and I can't bring myself to replace LiveJournal with it because it doesn't offer me the same things.
