yeah but you need to get the character in mind I can send you the link of the entire anime series

The anime is terrible if you want to characterize them in terms of their histories. >>
I'd suggest reading the good fic. It's got a stronger foundation in history, besides being really excellently written.

Yes I know but you should read or watch it right?

I read the comics for a long while, but lately I've stopped and have been reading/looking at fandom stuff only. It's sort of improved the series for me. >>

Jacob_Blackfeather · « **Reply #203 on:** September 29, 2009, 11:03:45 pm »

it does help but YOU need a sence of character

Naruchan · « **Reply #204 on:** September 29, 2009, 11:07:48 pm »

not necessarily.

Cassiopeia · « **Reply #205 on:** September 29, 2009, 11:09:55 pm »

I'd say it's important to read at least some of the comics, but the fandom is really what makes the series excellent. If you read the character profiles you basically have an idea of their character - obviously it doesn't contain it all but a lot of everything is just up to interpretation. Because of the concept that Hetalia is based on, the series really makes you think, and that's why there's a lot of good fic out there for it.~ Sadly I'm not really into fanfic at all; I've tried, I just can't visualize it the same way... haha :3

Malaria · « **Reply #206 on:** September 29, 2009, 11:11:18 pm »

To a degree. Most of the Hetalia cast are portrayed in canon as relatively one-dimensional. For me, the hardest part of doing Austria is getting myself to slow down and stop cussing. Then it's easy, because he has about two faces.
There's also this whole contentious meta soup about how exactly to interpret the nations. Are they more their current populace/government, or more nostalgic and entrenched in their founding values and histories?

Jacob_Blackfeather · « **Reply #207 on:** September 29, 2009, 11:14:01 pm »

Knowing the character is a good thing it makes yu a better cosplayer.

Malaria · « **Reply #208 on:** September 29, 2009, 11:15:31 pm »

Yeah, but what I'm saying is that the characters are made of history. The comic's one interpretation of history, but if you use others and stick to the same basic personality traits, you're still doing that character but with more depth.

Jacob_Blackfeather · « **Reply #209 on:** September 29, 2009, 11:16:54 pm »

they are and I totally get that I know where you are coming from I always have random facts about the contrys I cosplay

Felix · « **Reply #210 on:** September 29, 2009, 11:17:54 pm »

That's kind of what I was saying. Most of the stuff I learned about England when I did him was from fanart and people, not the comic itself.

The only thing the comic will teach out about England is that he's a tsundere hooligan who just wants Americaaaaa. It doesn't even talk about the ~~elegant, fascinating,~~ deeply abusive imperialism. Or his marriage to Portugal! Why isn't there a Portugal?

Jacob_Blackfeather · « **Reply #212 on:** September 29, 2009, 11:22:02 pm »

Xd your going as england but I noticed that after I typed the thing up there

Auricle · « **Reply #215 on:** September 29, 2009, 11:29:35 pm »

I like to read/watch all of the official Hetalia material and then dive head-first into some really good fanfiction. I think if you do both, you can sort of get a multi-faceted view of the characters as representing a country in it's government, stereotypes of it's peoples and many other aspects. I also like to go and read about history which has absolutely nothing to do with Hetalia. It's just that Hetalia has given me a better means by which to retain information. If it helps me learn even one thing, then having gotten into Hetalia has been worth it.

Not to mention all of the wonderful people that I've met because of it. <3

GenkiIchigo · « **Reply #216 on:** September 29, 2009, 11:32:30 pm »

Personally I got into Hetalia through the fandom first and then graduated to watching the anime and reading bits and pieces of the comic sometimes. I think I've always been more into the fandom, but the episodes never cease to make me laugh. But really, the best thing about Hetalia for me is that it's made me want to learn new things. Lol, I wish I'd wanted to learn this much when I was actually in a history class. XD

Felix · « **Reply #217 on:** September 29, 2009, 11:34:59 pm »

Maybe not. It's a backup.

And it's really funny to put Historical events into Hetalia context.

Oni Kitsune · « **Reply #218 on:** September 29, 2009, 11:46:06 pm »

For sure Austria again for me.

GenkiIchigo · « **Reply #219 on:** September 29, 2009, 11:57:52 pm »

Haha I just wish I'd been more motivated than 'YAY D-! I PASSED!!!1' Lol~

Yayyy it's my Austriaaaa~ <3

About the series? Probably. D8

Except myself and Valeria were lamenting the lack of a Portugal.

I just want it to be K'Con 2010 already so I can do Hetalia!!!! I've seen videos from the photoshoot this year and it looked like so much fun.

I just can't wait to run around as Ukraine.... my friend is planning to be N.Italy and I'm still working on getting my other friend to join in on the Hetlai madness =]

I love that the list is in alphabetical order.

THERE ARE NO GOOD FABRIC STORES HERE. IT MAKES NO SENSE.

Naruchan · « **Reply #231 on:** September 30, 2009, 04:10:04 pm »

D: where do you live?

Felix · « **Reply #232 on:** September 30, 2009, 04:19:25 pm »

I'm at university in Ashland. Which is home to a Shakespeare festival that is known all around the world. You'd think there'd be a good fabric store ... but they only sell quilting materials. D8 (I'm normally in Portland, but that's five hours away.)

Jacob_Blackfeather · « **Reply #233 on:** September 30, 2009, 04:20:05 pm »

Xd what's going on I read but huh?

Felix · « **Reply #234 on:** September 30, 2009, 04:26:25 pm »

There is no store that sells good costume fabrics in a town where the main (and pretty much only) attraction is a Shakespeare festival. Theatre includes costume-making. Costume-making is very difficult when one cannot buy materials. THIS MAKES NO SENSE.

MiriaRose · « **Reply #235 on:** September 30, 2009, 04:44:42 pm »

So, I talked someone into buying a ton of stuff I don't need anymore, so I'll be able to get Mama Egypt by Halloween. ^^

At first I was like "I'll organize it by region! : D" But then after a bit it was TOO SUBJECTIVE so I decided to reorganize it so it's alphabetical by name of actual nation, ignoring titles like N or Mama or whatever. IT NEEEEEEEDS TO BE ORGANIZED. Mostly so people don't have to ask me questions that can be easily answered in the first post. >>

Btw, d'you want me to add you as England?

Dubaby: I am adding you as the second Ukraine~.

I think this'll be the year of more obscure nations. Not that I mind. <3

Wow, you've got a huge cosplay list this year. o.o

Felix: All righty. You should do England for the masquerade, so you can break out the epic mask again.

Jacob_Blackfeather · « **Reply #240 on:** September 30, 2009, 06:40:09 pm »

I know I do but i promised a canada i would go as france for them and prussia is just for the hell of it and the people on my sig are needing for a change again.

Felix · « **Reply #241 on:** September 30, 2009, 08:08:40 pm »

I will, unless I have time to make another mask ... probably not, but I love making them!

Yeah, you can put me down for Masquerade!England on the front page.

Hallo~
I'm the person you talked to at the club fair at school (i think?) and I'll be Seychelles~ I was going to be her for 09, but I didn't get my fishie yet so it would be pointless. D:

Malaria · « **Reply #245 on:** September 30, 2009, 08:31:19 pm »

Hello school person! Glad you could join the madness.
If you can't find a fish again, maybe try sewing one?

Felix · « **Reply #246 on:** September 30, 2009, 08:44:00 pm »

That's weird. I just went to a club fair yesterday.
I jumped a Riku cosplayer and interrogated her about fabric stores. There aren't any, but I already said this.

On another note, there probably is a store with theatrical swords. SO I CAN WASTE ALL MY MONEY BUYING A SWORD. yeahhh.

Maybe there are some in Medford or Grant's Pass?

Felix · « **Reply #248 on:** September 30, 2009, 09:01:00 pm »

There are. Everything is in Medford. Unfortunately I don't have any way to get to Medford - I don't know how to drive, and even if I did, freshmen aren't allowed to have cars. I'm limited to what's within walking distance.

I have to do my German homework.

MiriaRose · « **Reply #249 on:** September 30, 2009, 09:44:33 pm »

HOW DO YOU ROLL RS? ;_; I CAN'T DO IT.

Felix, you could try buying fabric online, but you wouldn't be able to see it, so. .
