COMMONWEALTH CHRISTMAS ♥ I am gay for family-like interaction, and this kinda filled my gay meter to the brim. In a dysfunctional kinda way.

Man, can't help but feel for England here, or rather - lol the whole world. YAY POWERFUL SUPERPOWERS acting like DEMON CHILDREN?

♥ Loved this chapter! Thanks y'all again for sharing this with us. (: /knows how to engrish

Oh my gosh, I am too. And I just loved working on this chapter because of the stuff we didn't even write. Like, "What happened before America got there? They totally stayed in their pyjamas to open gifts, didn't they? Was there cider? Dear God, there was totally cider!" XD

YAY POWERFUL SUPERPOWERS acting like DEMON CHILDREN?

I think that's the first requirement for anyone wanting to fill a Superpower's position: "Must be able to behave like that weird ginger kid from Children of the Corn. Previous experience a bonus."

I feel so bad for England. So bad. He thought he could tell America something that might calm down his crazy and instead realizes how far off America has gone. And how childish he is about it, which makes it almost worse then if he just denied or made up some reason to what England told him. The whole let me smile and talk about the evils of communism and get people to back off with my charm and the very insistent childish "take it back", is just scary to me.

That whole, we'll I don't care if I die, because I'll kill too, England going to have a bad Christmas now, thinking about how the two are capable of destroying the world and themselves and just don't care.

I thought America bought England a cappuccino maker.

Oh yeah. And the thing is, America is just so damn good at it. He's got that overpowering charisma that makes it very difficult to hold the fact that he was just threatening you over his head. Because, I mean...just look at that smile.

Dude, I can totally see him doing that, like, circa 2003, when the Starbucks craze was at it's height. And it'd be a backhanded gift too, because in America's opinion, cappuccinos are total chick drinks. When he goes to Starbucks, he hits the mocha hard. He got a frappuccino once, and he had the barista girl camouflage it in another cup. XD

I loved New Zealand in this!

Me too! We think he's probably a lot like Canada, except not as neurotic, and with less daddy issues. Also, he can probably kill you seven different ways with his bare hands. But he'd much rather just have a quiet smoke. XD

And yet, America never ceases to be a hard-headed nation. This whole way of dealing with foreigner politics has always scared/enraged me a little, why so harsh America, seriously?

I think he puts more or less effort into trying to please with his foreign policy depending on where we're at in the timeline, and who his boss is. But right now, we are definitely at the "shut the fuck up and sit down or I'm kicking you out of this car" policy stage.

You know, this makes me wonder what America did after he got home from Russia's house after Russia dumped him. If he's this coocoo for cocopuffs now, I can only imagine the unholy jilted-teenage girl destruction he caused. Kind of like Pink's
'So What' music video, you know, where she grabs a chainsaw and starts cutting through the tree with her and her boyfriend's name on it, sobs halfway through cutting it, has the tree almost drop on some guy, and then dances with the chainsaw? Kind of like that, I think.

Ooo. FANFIC. I'm writing that.

Also, CHRISTMAS FIC I'M SO HAPPY. Christmas with family is always off-the-wall, isn't it, England?

"Revolution means never needing to rake the leaves when you go to England's house for the holidays."

So THAT'S the real reason why America revolted. I KNEW IT.

*SNORT*

Please don't make me imagine America wearing anything even approaching this.

I want to see them MSTing, that'd be great!

Wow, you can really see just how much America's cracking in this chapter. What's worse is he doesn't even seem to realize how much he's cracked. That last sentance sent a shiver down my spine.

I found the idea of America giving England a chunk of the German bunkers to be adorable, though~

Oh yeah. He thinks he's absolutely, positively in the right, here. Nothing is going to convince him otherwise.

I aww-ed a little, not gonna lie. ♥
