asdf;lkj you updated!!

oh man, China and Hong Kong and England. I remember a few years ago when China regained Hong Kong IRL, the feelings in the air (I didn't really get what was going on then, but still). That triangle just seems a tangle of worms now, given the rising Hong Kong-China Internet tensions these days. England's last lines - nice snappy one-liners! And I laughed at the bubble tea - England, you would!

This world's England is delightfully creepy and Off, out of focus and warped. I liked the musings on empire, that was very nicely done all around. And asdflj so many people's plans piling up on each other, I am insanely curious to see how it all unfolds!

the apprehension weaved into the boy's face, "weaved" should be "woven"

Yes, finally! The editing took absolutely forever because I got lazy...

Yeah, the tensions between HK and China have been flaring like mad! That professor was quite ...crazy. I wanted to play around with the dynamics between three for quite some time -- I was originally going to have HK manipulate both of them against each other, but I guess that plan's not working anymore. :P

Oops, thanks for catching that, just fixed it!

I'd be happy to help edit/beta grammar for you, if you'd like! :)

I'm curious - when did you decide to bring in Hong Kong for the ~drama~? The topic is really more relevant than ever these days, especially with the heightened tensions. (That professor is one thing - did you see the locusts ad?) China was so happy to have HK returned, back in the day, but look where we are now. I wonder about Hong Kong's thoughts before the return - was it ever a patriotic/emotional issue for them, or was it like that only on China's part?

A lot of frightened Hong Kongers moved to Canada, UK or whatever before 1997.

I hear that Vancouver's getting flooded by mainland immigrants though nowadays.

Wonder what the pre-1997 Hong Kongers there feel about it.

I remember the handover quite well, I didn't know things would turn out like this.

Wouldn't really have shot him, huh? I agree, England is perfectly creepy. I'm really glad to see you continuing this (and the mention of Hong Kong in this 'verse is interesting, too). :)

weird_number February 10 2012, 07:44:23 UTC

Heh, he is meant to be! Glad you like HK's appearance, I can't tell how people react to my insertion of random cities/countries into this mess. :)

Hey, glad to see you're still in the fandom. I saw that locust ad and the dog professor vid.

Did you guys see the locust ad parodies? Don't miss the America one.

Am thinking of writing a kink meme fill for it but you know, I take forever to get around to things.

(Despair)

Do you have a tumblr blog? We all seem to be at tumblr nowadays.

weird_number February 14 2012, 07:18:01 UTC

Heh, yes, I saw those! (I follow chinasmack too now ...though I must say the comments left on the site leave something to be desired.)

And I'm still around, last semester was just particularly busy. :(

You should go ahead and write it! Unless, of course, you have real life things to contend to, as that always takes first priority.

I do have tumblr! I'm weird-number on there, what's yours?

fluffcloud February 14 2012, 12:57:38 UTC

I'll look up your tumblr. I'm fluffcloudyao.

My blog is mostly focused on China, Chinese culture and hetalia. I hope my blog doesn't make me look like a Chinese nationalist or something. I do love Chinese culture but I have a very ambivalent relationship with the actual country and mainlanders that I think Hong Kongers and Taiwanese will probably understand perfectly :/

If you think Chinasmack is bad, Chinahush is worse. The owner is a Chinese American but he appears to have decided to forgo moderation totally after a promising start :( but there are interesting articles sometimes.

weird_number February 15 2012, 05:35:18 UTC

Added you!

Heh, I'm sure it'll be fine. You'd have to express support for the PRC before that happens, and I think most people who are interested in China will catch on to the difference pretty quickly.

Oh yeah, Chinahush is really bad. Sometimes I have a difficult time believing that there exist so many people with such a high level of hate.. but none of them sound like they're trolling.
