This is entirely Paul’s fault

So spazzkat‘s been watching a lot of Hetalia via Netflix streaming lately. I’d known about Hetalia already so I knew the concept behind the show, but I hadn’t ever seen any–so I hadn’t really realized a few fundamental truths of this particular anime.

One, most of the country characters are awfully hot.

Two, the closing theme song is devilishly, insidiously catchy. INSIDIOUSLY, I TELL YOU.

Three, what really got me giggling over this was seeing the character of Canada, who looks suspiciously like America, being COMPLETELY INVISIBLE. And making the other countries wig out whenever he was in the room, because they’d think the room was haunted. Also, Canada is adorable. So is the Kodiak bear he carries around.

Four, some of the country characters are, in fact, girls.

All of these things combined to get solarbird and me imagining what Cascadia’s character in this cast of shenanigans would be like. We decided Cascadia is a girl, that she has a ponytail and wears a windbreaker, that she is very, VERY good with computers, and that she’s physically active. She is also the only country who can in fact see Canada, and she has a massive crush on him, but thinks she’s bonkers because she sees that nobody else can see him! Problem is, Canada can’t see her.

The fanfic just WRITES ITSELF. Which it should. Because I don’t have time to write it!

"Anna, you have that so right!" she said, as she fixed her ponytail before grabbing the Mountain Co-op windbreaker out of the hall closet, to go walk uphill in the drizzling rain to attend a politely left-wing political dinner.

Yay Cascadia! Cascadia an ch'ai!

Yay indeed! Also, yay chai!

Hetalia is a lot cuter and more fun than I ever expected, when I first watched it. ♥ Maru-kai-te chik-yu-u! Hee.

And Canada! There are some good Canada episodes and strips, mostly involving Cuba and/or attempting to tell America off.

There's no Cascadia (yet), but a fanartist did a great "History of Canada" comic, Hetalia-style, which features some of the provinces:

That link is awesome! Thanks for sharing it. :)

We watched one of the Canada episodes tonight!

It is important to remember that Cascadia likes football (and also handegg, but I'm talking football here), and as pleased as all hell about the Cascadia Cup.

She is also VERY DAMN PROUD that she got a flag when she was just a tiny, tiny thing. ;)
