This was a very enjoyable read, and I thought that you did a fine job with the history behind it~
I also know exactly what photo you are talking about, and I would love it if you write a sequel. ;D

I love putting in little details like that, and I'm always happy when they stand out to the reader.
I'll do my best with getting a sequel/accompanying fic' out. It'll get written if it wants to bad enough I'm sure :D And merry Christmas by the way!

And I agree when you say that some people need to take a chill pill... whenever I want to introduce people to Hetalia, I always start out by saing, "Don't approach it too seriously; it is meant to be humorous!" It's sad I have to say that really, but I think we both know why it is sometimes necessary... ><
And I really adore it when people decide to include heavy history in Hetalia fics~ I am a total history nut you see and that is another reason why I am super happy about you writing a sequel... because I know exactly what you mean when you talk about the mental image the photo brings to mind. Heehe~
Merry Christmas to you as well! <3

I mostly avoid talking about Hetalia to people, don't know why really <.< I'm not afraid of their opinions, cause I think I'd be able to explain it right.
The point with Hetalia is that it is just some good-hearted poking fun at histories and national stereotypes. It's so silly that I just don't understand how someone could even pretend to take it seriously. And I'm glad that Himaruya mostly has avoided touching upon the really sensitive subjects. It wouldn't mix well with the tone of APH. Of course, there are some things I don't like either how he treats them, but that's the great thing about being a fan, and having freedom of opinion; You don't have to agree with everything in order to enjoy it. Pisses me off when people think APH fans just swallow everything Himaruya says like he's some sort of history god and incapable of errors ( ... )

But I want to know why Germany wasnt there. I would expect that he dousnt want to see the wall. Or do you want that everyone should make his own image of this?^^
Oh im really sorry for my bad english, Im tired XD
Btw im german, you too? or where do you put this german sentence from? :3

Germany has his reasons, and you pretty much hit the spot with what you said. So yeah, something like he doesn't want to see it. I'm not sure if more will be mentioned about it whenever I get around to the sequel, but there won't be anything from Germany's point of view for this, unfortunately.
I'm actually Swedish, and I found the quote during my research XD But I've been studying German for a month, so guten Abend I guess? X3

Thats really intresting, yes it was "Guten Abend", now its "Guten Mittag" :3
If you want I can help ypu a little bit to study it, can I ask why do you have intrest in Germany?
Do you write often Fics? Normally I dont read them much but I love short ones with a lot of meaning inside. Im happy that I kicked my ass to read it XD

After this class I'm not sure when I'll be taking more classes, depends if I get into University. I choose to study German because I absolutely adore foreign languages, and I want to test a lot of different ones before I decide what I want to work with (I want to become an interpreter and/or translator) I used to not like German so much because I thought it sounded so rough, but somehow I changed my mind and now I think the way it sounds is really beautiful in its own way =)
I have my periods of writing, and now I'm really into it for the moment. And you're lucky because the only ones I ever end up posting are the short ones XD I don't want to post something that's not finished and none of my chapter fic's ever seem to get done o.o
Thank you for the friends add btw ♥ I'm always glad to have more lj buddies.

Well I think german really sounds rough. Maybe a little bit old and cold too.
Too its a difficult language, I think its hard for other people to learn it because of the grammar...maybe? ^^;
Yeah I love other languages too but im not blessed with a understanding for grammar. Right know im learning japanese, and maybe I will learn French in the future.
Hey now, then im really happy :3 I hope we can read more of such nice short ones ¦3

Yes the grammar is really hard X( all the conjugations of die, der and das, not to mention knowing when to use dative case or accusative case.
If, maybe... it's okay with you, I could ask you questions when I get really stuck with my German studies? <<; It'd be great to have someone to turn to, because it's always really difficult in the beginning.
