“Ostrich.”

“Excuse me…?” Roderich Edelstein did not bother looking up from his novel to know that Gilbert Weillschmidt was the one speaking to him. There went Roderich’s peaceful lunch break in the school

My gosh, this was awesome, like Gilbert. :D I can totally see him strutting around - and oh my, the part where he was pretending to be an ostrich CRACKED ME UP. Oh yes. <3

Very awesome job on this one! :D

Also, unfortunately I am not a German speaker, but I have read around the Internet that it is supposed to be "Beillschmidt". (But you know how the Internet can be... so I'm not too sure. That's all that I know about it. Sorry!) Although when I Google "Weillschmidt", only Hetala-related stuff pops up, but when I Google "Beillschmidt", it is a real last name.

Sorry for not being sure, but I hope it's something to help out. ^^;

When calling someone by the name of an animal to make fun of them, how can you not mimic the animal?

Thank you anyway! I wondered mainly because I'm very particular about spelling and grammar. Yeah, the internet isn't too reliable in that way. I think I'll use Beillschmidt from now on. :)

*guilty of doing that, cuz her dad did it* XD My dad used like... EVERY bad joke you can imagine on me.

I actually prefer the Weillschmidt-one, because I, uh, have hardly seen Beill as a part of a name. @.@ I do think Himuraya had his name on one picture... But I cannot remember how he wrote it. @.@ (And goddamn, don't we hate that inaccuracy Katakana invokes? DX)

Oh dear... Even this?
Person 1: "I'm done!"
Person 2: "Hi, 'Done!' I'm (name)!"

Your icon expresses the problem with German and Katakana perfectly.

I love this~~! I've been thinking the exact same thing for the longest time, and seeing it in a fic just made my day!
Gilbert is so hilarious, actually strutting his stuff... Poor Austria, he's so tortured xD

I'm glad you liked it! :)
