Nothing Seemed To Stop Them

Do you guys still want to hear about history from me? Because I still want to talk about history to you. Specifically, I want to talk to you about World War I for a little town called Villers-Bretonneux. I hope that's okay.

Learning! :D! I love learning! especially since I can't afford school this semester aha ha ha

...I feel so enlightened. Australians are so BA, I mean charging into a wall of gunfire holy crap. Must be packing balls of tempered steel whoa.

Also something about school children donating their pennies makes me eee uncontrollably. S-so cute.

And yet the battle that gets glorified here in Australia is the one where they landed on the wrong beach and all got killed by Turks. Idek, man.

That. Is Amazing. And really heart-warming, for this day and age.

(I notice that you've depersonified your mentions of nations-- a visible mark that you've publicly broken from the larger Hetalia fandom? Regardless, I hope you'll continue to share history with us, personified nations or no.)

Oh, gosh, I haven't been in the Hetalia fandom for more than a year. But I still want to talk about history! I'm happy that some folks still want to hear about it, fandom or no. =D

Well, you know, in fairness, they were pretty great trenches. And great mud. Premium mud.

This is on my long list of things that are obscure but shouldn't be.
