So I saw these t-shirts the other day while at Walmart, and my first reaction was "Oh my God, people would love these or at least, I hope so OTL". Look look~


(Please excuse the slight graininess of the picture. I took the picture with my cell. If anyone wants a higher quality picture, I can get a picture with my actual camera. >>; )

They are actually part of a promotion for "American Summer" and there are many other American-themed t-shirts there, but what makes this particular shirt so special is that they are only available in Alabama. Because, obviously, "AL" is short for "Alabama" (AND ALFRED OwO). These are also in limited supply- I asked a sales clerk if they were getting any more in and they said no.

They are available in men's sizes only, from small medium to 2X and Walmart is selling them for $5 each. I am willing to purchase and ship them anywhere in the US for $10- international will be a little more, but I haven't figured out how much I would need to charge for that. I know that shipping should be no more than $3 and also, if one store is out of a particular size, I'll have to drive to another store in search for that size, so that's why I'm charging twice the amount of the actual t-shirt. Also, I'm incredibly low on money right now and am going to start selling some of my actual Hetalia merchandise soon, if things don't get any better. So any profit from the t-shirt sales will help pay my bills and feed my kitties.

I'm only accepting Paypal payments for the shirts. If you're interested and would like to go ahead and secure yourself a one, send me a message with your email address, requested size, and any other questions you might have. I'll send you an invoice and you can send your home address with your payment. Easy as pie~

So, ladies and gents, who is interested in this? ♥

OMG, RUSSIA'S CHARACTER CD COMES OUT IN LESS THAN A MONTH AND I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO BE ABLE TO HEAR A SAMPLE OF BOTH OF HIS SONGS! UNF~ ♥ </fangirlspasm>

Anyway, thanks to bloody_isis's comment in this entry, I was inspired to draw this. I'm so not finished yet, ad I probably won't have a chance to continue working on it till after Christmas, but here's a sketch of Russia playing the violin in his first character song, "Winter".

I'm so posting the colored version when I'm done. Expect it in the next several days. ♥


APH - Russia's "Winter" by ~La-Fille-Monstre on deviantART

So, koolkatlover34 made these Hetalia videos at the JibJab website, and so I had to make one for myself. I've been kinda crazy about Russia and Lithuania lately, so I decided to do the whole crew.

... And I ended up downloading it. *feels weird for having to pay to download something* >>;

Anyway, hope you enjoy it. xD





Also, here are a couple more I ended up making after writing this post. I just HAD to add them. ♥



Russia: Bob, I'm afraid I'm gonna have to let you go.
Poland: *le gasp*
Lithuania: ... ._.;
Latvia: *cries*
*DIES LAUGHING*



... No works can describe this... oh wait, is he wearing bunny slippers at the end???



AND THAT'S EXACTLY HOW POLAND'S VOICE SHOULD SOUND!!!


As for the creepy/funny cosplay, I just got my Russia cosplay costume in the mail several days ago. I was so excited that I tried it on and, well... I'll let you watch. My poor Liet. I think I scared her for life. xD





And here's some randomness: Russia surfing YouTube for his favorite horror movies. I didn't mean for this to be as long as it is. Can you guess all the themes? Also, the end is what totally makes this worth sitting through or just fast-forwarding it....

Eep! It's been a week since the meet-up and I'm finally posting the pics I'd taken. That ten hour drive to and from Orlando can really zap the energy out of you. Heck, I left Saturday morning while there was still snow on the ground (me and my Canada were all "WTF? Snow in Alabama? Srsly?") and when I got back Monday night, it was cold and windy. And you Floridians know of your own weather and whatnot. Yeah... I totally got a cold from the temperature change. BUT JUST BEING ABLE TO HANG WITH YOU GUYS WAS TOTALLY WORTH IT. ♥

Anyway, several other people had posted their pictures already, so I'll just throw up several of my favorites. :3



Japan whipped out this shirt and I we all dawwwww'ed. So cute~




Once (the first) Belarus showed up, my panic levels were set on high. She was such a cutie tho...




This picture just seemed so surreal... Maybe it's the two Lithuanias...




Ah, right... Denmark's face. If I remember correctly, my Lithuania said this picture was taken right before Den went "RAWR!!!", or something like that. None of us noticed this until it was just me, Canada, and Lithuania after we had seperated from the group. I cannot begin to tell you the entertainment value of this picture. Just the words "Denmark's face" made all of us burst into laughter. xD; We love you, DenDen. We honestly, truly love... your face. ♥




And the number of Italys there! I was stunned! I also got mad at Canada for not bringing her flag even tho I have no idea where we packed it.




Just in case someone didn't get a full look at my shirt. The shirt is so Russia. The hat is not. xD;




Also, colors are so Germany. The hat is... AWESOME. ♥




Russia: We are comrades now, so we can share Italy, yes? : D
Germany: ... !!!!!
Belarus: ; ^ ;




Become one... ? ♥ One of the Belaruses freaked out afterward and poor me ran off, scared for my life. xD;




I just love this angle. LOL, poor Prussia. Is it just me or was he the only male cosplayer there? o_o;




Japan looks like L from Death Note like he's really enjoying that chocolate bar. It was pretty good tho, seriously. Thanks for sharing, Japan~




Out of all the different angles I've seen of this scene, I like mine best. GO COLD WAR RUSSIA!




PHOTO OP! LOL, Japan, you certainly do influence Italy. :P




CW!Russia sharing her Commie Mints with me. Seriously, I can't believe she got these from a porn store...




Sorry Canada, but your country was pretty boring. *is punches in the face*




DO. NOT. WANT. ;_______;




I'm so totally waiting for Liet to fall asleep so I can do dirty things to her. Pay no attention to the red eyes. Wow, scary... o_o




And now a sweeter picture... I'm still trying to spy tho. xD;





We had an awesome time and I hope everyone else did too. Maybe we can do this again next year... ?

Title: Sunflowers - A Russia x Lithuania FST

Alright, ladies and gents, please be gentle, This is my first time doing something like this. I don't have too much to say, considering I've been working on this monstrosity for over eight hours now (My Music folder = DEATH), but I hope you guys enjoy it.

Obvious Microsoft Paint cd cover is obvious... >>;

Rachmaninov - Piano Concerto No.2 in C Minor 1st Movement

(Just a nice piece from one of Russia's famous pianists. It's an attempt to set the feel of the soundtrack...)

-

Espen Lind - Unloved

I bet you don't know how it feels
to be walking past your house at night
I bet you don't know how it feels
To stand outside and watch the lights

And I don't know why
I just can't seem to dry
the rain on my face
all the tears I've cried

I think of the day
when you pushed me away
what can I do when I still love you

What can I do
Where can I hide -
from all of these feelings I keep inside
It's dark as can be
and you'll never see
just what it's like to feel...
what it's like to feel unloved

(Poor Russia is lonely and "happened" to pass Poland and Lithuania's house, which in turn makes him even more lonely...)

-

Milczenie Owiec - Frozen (Madonna cover)

You only see what your eyes want to see
How can life be what you want it to be
You're frozen when your heart's not open
You're so consumed with how much you get
You waste your time with hate and regret
You're frozen when your heart's not open
If I could melt your heart
We'd never be apart
Give yourself to me
You are the key

(Despite being taken away from Poland, Lithuania sympathizes with Russia. Liet is such a sweet and helpful fellow. )

-

A Perfect Circle - Thinking of You

So delighted with a new understanding
Something about a little evil that makes
That unmistakable noise I was hearing
Unmistakable sound I know so well

Spent and sighing with a look in your eyes
Spent an sweatin' with a look on your face like

Sweet revelation, sweet surrendering
Sweet revelation, sweet

Thinking of you, thinking of you,
Thinking...

(As Russia and Lithuania continue to live with one another, the inevitable happens. Lithuania's defenses drop and Russia comes in for the "kill". Russia is pleased~ )

-

Dommin - My Heart, Your Hands

I can feel the knife carving your love in my heart
You promised you wouldn't harm a hair on this fragile body,
No that's not fair
But how can I trust you?

(And Lithuania is conflicted with emotions... and quite possibly bleeding...)

-

Sara Brightman - Deliver Me

Deliver me, out of my sadness.
Deliver me, from all of the madness.
Deliver me, courage to guide me.
Deliver me, strength from inside me.

All of my life I've been in hiding.
Wishing there was someone just like you.
Now that you're here, now that I've found you,
I know that you're the one to pull me through.

(Despite binding himself to the weak, Baltic country, Russia can't seem to find happiness in his actions or Lithuania's reactions. Domination is of course lovely, but he feels like he needs something more...)

-

Nine Inch Nails - Closer (Trance Remix)

You let me violate you
You let me desecrate you
You let me penetrate you
You let me complicate you

Help me; I broke apart my insides
Help me; I've got no soul to sell
Help me; the only thing that works for me
Help me get away from myself

I wanna fuck you like an animal
I wanna feel you from the inside
I wanna fuck you like an animal
My whole existence is flawed

(And yet, even with his confusion, Russia continues to take advantage of Lithuania. This makes things much more difficult and distance between the two countries.)

-

Everclear - You Make Me Feel Like A Whore

I hate the way I am around you
(I'm so nervous and weird)
Sometimes I feel like I'm breathing underwater

You treat me like I am on fire
Like I'm something to eat
You make me hate what I see
When I see me

Yeah I dream of the day
When I learn to make you pay
Someday I'll teach you to beg
Someday, someday

Yes I live for the day
When I can hear you say
You make me feel like a whore

(Lithuania becomes frustrated with Russia's advances, refusing to even so much as be in the same room as Russia without anyone else with him. He's fed up with all of this and is wondering what he could do to get back at the other country.)

-

Bush - Glycerine

If I treated you bad, you bruise my face
Couldn't love you more, you got a beautiful taste
Don't let the days go by
Could have been easier on you

I couldn't change though I wanted to
Should have been easier by three
Our old friend fear and you and me
Glycerine, Glycerine

Don't let the days go by, Glycerine
Don't let the days go by, Glycerine, Glycerine
Glycerine, Glycerine

(Russia is certainly not happy with the other country avoiding him. So he lets Lithuania know it, or at least until Lithuania accidentally lashes out and punches Russia square in the face. Stunned, the larger country doesn't stop the Baltic brother from fleeing the room. For the first time, he understands Lithuania's fear and resentment toward him and now wonders what he can do to regain Lithuania's trust.)

-

Christian Bautista - Invincible

I don't have nerves of steel
I have a heart that feels
I may have cried a million
tears but I wont drown
I let myself unfold
Gave you my hand to hold
You took me beyond where
I could see
And then you let go of me.

Chorus:
I was damaged by the fall
Got the wind knocked out of me
To be standing here at all
I must be invincible

I thought that I would break
But now I have come to see
Something strong and beautiful
Inside of me
I must be invincible

(Lithuania is shocked as well due to his own actions; however, this is the first time that has done more than simply deny Russia what he wanted. He now feels more empowered than he has in a long time, but even so, he can't help feeling guilty from the stunned look on Russia's face or the blood dripping from his nose.)

Rammstein - Amour

Die Liebe ist ein wildes Tier
Sie beißt und kratzt und tritt nach mir
Hält mich mit tausend Armen fest
Zerrt mich in ihr Liebesnest
Frißt mich auf mit Haut und Haar
Und würgt mich wieder aus nach Tag und Jahr
Läßt sich fallen weich wie schnee
Erst wird es heiß dann kalt am Ende tut es weh

Amour Amour
Alle wollen nur dich zähmen
Amour Amour am Ende
Gefangen zwischen deinen Zähnen

(English translation)

Love is a wild animal
It bites and scratches and steps towards me
It holds me tightly with a thousand arms
and drags me into its love nest
It devours me completely
and retches me back out after many years
It drops softly like snow
First it gets hot then cold in the end it hurts

Amour Amour
Everyone just wants to tame you
Amour Amour in the end
caught between your teeth

(Make-up sex ensues. : D )

-

Savage Garden - Break Me Shake Me

So you're the kind that deals with the games in the mind
Well you confuse me in a way that I've never known
You confuse me in a way that I've never known

So break me, shake me, hate me, take me over
When the madness stops then you will be alone
So won't you break me, shake me, hate m,e take me over
When the madness stops then you will be alone

-

Rammstein - Spiel Mit Mir (Play With Me)

Wir teilen Zimmer und das Bett
Bruderlein komm sei so nett
Bruderlein komm fass mich an
rutsch ganz dicht an mich heran

Vor dem Bett ein schwarzes Loch
und hinein fallt jedes Schaf
bin schon zu alt und zahl sie doch
denn ich find keinen Schlaf

Unterm Nabel im Geast
wartet schon ein weisser Traum
Bruderlein komm halt dich fest
und schuttel mir das Laub vom Baum

Spiel ein Spiel - mit mir
gib mir deine Hand und

spiel mit mir - ein Spiel
spiel mit mir - ein Spiel
spiel mit mir - weil wir alleine sind
spiel mit mir - ein Spiel
Vater Mutter Kind

(English Lyrics)

We share a room and the bed
Brother dear please go right ahead
Brother dear come touch me here
Slide to me so close and near

By the bed a big black hole
In they jump all the sheep
Much too old but I count them still
But I cannot fall asleep

Past my navel in the bush
Waiting there white fantasies
Brother dear come hold me tight
And shake for me leaves from the trees

Play a game with me
Give me your hand and

Play with me - A game
Play with me - A game
Play with me - Cause we're alone now
Play with me - A game
Father mother child

(For the first time even, Russia lets the smaller nation take control of the going-ons in the bedroom.)

-

Ahmet & Dweezil Zappa - Baby One More Time

Oh baby, baby, how was I supposed to know
That something wasn't right here
Oh baby, baby, I shouldn't have let you go
And now you're out of sight

Show me what you want it to be
Tell me baby cos I need to know now because
My loneliness is killing me (and I)
I must confess I still believe (still believe)
If I'm not with you I lose my mind
Give me a sign

Hit me baby one more time

(This doesn't last too long sadly. After some time, Lithuania sheepishly asks Russia to be not quite so rough with him. He is one again sore and bruised, but this time, he falls asleep in Russia's arms at the end of it all.)

-

Acceptance - So Contagious

Oh you're everything I'm wanting
Come to think of it, I'm aching
On account of my transgression..
Will you welcome this confession?

Could this be out of line? (Could this be out of line?)
To say you're the only one breaking me down like this
You're the only one I would take a shot on
Keep me hanging on so contagiously

(Lithuania later confesses his feelings to the larger country. Fluff ensues. ♥)

-

RENT - I'll Cover You (Reprise)

Live in my house,
I'll be your shelter
Just pay me back,
With one thousand kisses
Be my lover,
And I'll cover you

Open your door,
I'll be your tenant,
Don't got much baggage to lay at your feet
But sweet kisses I've got to spare
I'll be there,
And I'll cover you, oh

(Russia accepts the Baltic country's feelings. A slightly different type of relationship between the two begin. Russia seems much happier, and because of this, Lithuania is pleased as well.)

-

Everclear - Sunflowers

I know how you feel, you get crazy inside
They say it runs in the family
I know just how you feel when you get crazy inside
Your mom she said that you are just like me

I can see it in your eyes
I can see your shaky hands
Yes, I think you think I'm stupid
You don't think I understand
Yes, I see you and I see myself when I was a younger man

When you were a child
You were happy and free
You were my reason to live
I would die when you smiled at me
I can still see you
I remember you painting
Sunflowers in your room

(Credits and more fluff? This song is SO Russia x Lithuania. ♥ )

Just in case anyone actually happens to come across my page, I'm sorry for my lack of... well, everything. I'm really only here for convenience sake, not to mention I'm following the Hetalia community and snagging pics/info/fics/everything else from there. But yes, I'm not dead... just elsewhere... >_>
