Wait, what? (England, America)
Title: Wait, what?
Characters: England, America
Warnings: None. Seriously.
Summary: Also for chibi_spork! Even England needs to blow off steam sometimes.
Year: Ambiguously modern
This is, believe it or not, is another take on the same prompt that is responsible for A Business Trip, in case it turned out too dark. Not sure which one I'll finish-- ( Read more... )

America *is* in for a nasty surprise one day, but I wonder if it'll be Europe that surprises him...
I'm glad you liked! It's much, much, much easier to motivate myself to write when I'm writing *for* someone-- thus the kink meme xD-- so if you hadn't, I probably wouldn't have finished them. (That happened to me with that Opium Wars femslash fill, and the PruCan battlefield fill... people stopped loving on me, so I stopped wanting to write them.) I look forward to your punk!nations, whenever you get around to them <3.

Oh man, maybe I should try getting an ff account... I can see that being really reassuring. I'm on a lot of levels kind of making this whole thing up as I go along; like, I'd never written a fanfic in my entire life before this summer, and this whole journal thing just kind of grew out of writing for the kink meme. Oh! Which reminds me. What's up with icons? Like-- if you were to, say, want an icon that's not a jellyfish-- not that I don't love my jellyfish!-- do you have to, make one? Because I'm not particularly inclined in an artistic direction...
Yeah, packing sucks-- I sympathize. And I'm excited to see whatever you come up with!

Our image of Europeans tends to be of pacifist wine-snobs, I think.
Pfff, this only proves to me that Americans think France=Europe (except those that don't know France is a countryXD). But even then, I think Americans would be surprised...France has the third largest nuclear arsenal in the world!
somebody already gave Al a nasty surprise: China XD

To be fair, I think most Americans know that France is a country... if only because they opposed us about that whole Iraq thing and it pissed a lot of people off (my parents bought nothing but French wine for months to offset all the boycotts-- nice political action there, guys). But yes, the France/Italy=Europe preconception is big.
Yeah, China was EXACTLY where I was going with that. Which surprise in particular were you thinking of?
Anyway, I'm glad you liked!

Anyway, England has a reputation for being violent here because of history, and because most Europeans think the British are more war-oriented and still like to fight old style. Also, when they go abroad they behave in the most shamefully destructive and annoyingly obnoxious wayXD)
Hahaha, well, it just seems like there are a lot of vids on Youtube about Americans being asked about France, and many of them couldn't place it, while others didn't even know it was a countryXD
But yes, the France/Italy=Europe preconception is big.
I feel cheated, being SpanishXD. Also, I bet a lot of people don't know UK is part of EU xDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
Which surprise in particular were you thinking of?
"Hi, aru! Guess what? I just became the second most powerful economy two weeks ago, surpassing Japan, aru! Isn't that great, America? ^^"

I don't doubt that there are people in America who don't know that France is a country, but I think they're probably in the minority; videos like that tend to find the most extreme people, because they're the funniest xD.
That's definitely true about the UK and the EU! I don't think we're really convinced they're Europeans...
America: Chokes. "Aren't you... aren't you a communist? Your guys' economies suck!"
