Ah, this chapter was awesome! Russia's part was really clever ^_^

[weird_number]

Thank you. ;D More on Russia...soon. :P

[jedishampoo]

I am not a fan of Russia as a character but you've captured him very well, I think. I'm glad to see this updated-- still fascinating. :)

Thanks, I'm glad you're still enjoying! (Yeah, I'm not sure what to think of Russia as a character either. :/)

let's open up another neverending comment thread

I got so excited hen I saw this on my flist, you have no idea!

I really like your reasoning behind alternate!UK, especially the bit about the UK never properly transferred to being a democracy. And the whole thing about Hong Kong and chopsticks (I think I hold chopsticks wrong myself!) is a really clever example of stuff happening on the personification level corresponding to stuff IRL. Nicely done there!

Poor, poor confused America. And the whole thing with Russia and the annexation thing - I didn't think that would actually come up again this chapter. EVIL CLIFFHANGER!

And for the purposes of this fic, is Canada actually invisible (even if someone looks directly at him)? Or is it just that nobody notices him/he tends to hang around in places here people don't look? (Did Japan really not see anyone perched on the bathroom dividers?)

At any rate, a great chapter, like usual :D

that will so happen again, ahaha

Woah, I didn't know you (or really most people on lj, actually) read this! ;D

It took me a while to decide on the China-Russia-HK-England dynamic, but I've planned that out more, so hopefully it'll work. ;P

Ah, Canada is not technically invisible here. :P I was thinking more along the lines of a relatively higher ceiling/ledge where Japan didn't look high enough to see him (perhaps this is my own non-observant bathroom-user dialing in :P). Although I was playing with the idea of giving him the power of invisibility, but then I'd have to give other nations powers too, which is too difficult, lol.

And glad you enjoyed it, thank you! ;D

I think you need to publicize this more :D but yes, I do read this!

And looking forward to more of this character dynamic :D subtext and alternate history go well with Hetalia!

Ah, I suppose I just had a really hard time believing Japan (and England)'s unobservant-ness, and it was easier for me to assume that Canada was really invisible. I've seen this sort of thing before, but still. Japan is really, really, really unobservant. *applause* (I'm sure someone's already written Hetalia: the Superheroes AU. Or now that I've said it, they will).

I always enjoy your stuff, thanks for writing this! :)

Re: that will so happen again, ahaha

[weird_number]

Haha, I have no idea how to publicize it! :P

Yess, I enjoy alternate history a lot, so this is always fun to write. ;) I think in general I prefer writing the AU world, just because I get lots of freedom to come up with random things.

Haha, yeah, and I suspect Japan isn't normally the unobservant type...oops. :D Ahaha, superheroes AU - I swear I have seen something like that before, but it reminded me too much of the shonen manga I used to read once upon a time...

Yay! ;D (next chapter should be faster since I like writing the AU world more, haha)
