I was wondering if you're familiar with this:
http://weknowmemes.com/2012/06/mother-of-flags/

Although, I don't think it would have been accurate to use the Czech flag for the second example, because the Polish flag could be seen on it.

[yuuago]

I usually don't pay attention to memes, but I have seen that one, yes.

[yuuago]

Overslept AND have a splitting headache because my brother's fucking dogs woke me up at a ridiculous hour of the morning. Ugh, I can't STAND those animals, why the hell do I keep getting told that I need to look after them, argh.

He should seriously just rehome them. Nobody likes them, nobody wants them, and he doesn't have time to take care of them himself. (WHY DOES HE HAVE THEM TO BEGIN WITH, the fucking idiot, it isn't like he ever expected he'd be home during the day, he works 12-hour shifts at the refinery, this isn't a sudden situation)

I'm mad, and my head hurts, and I fucking hate dogs.

[tikula]

ok I know you recced this show to more people and idk if some of them go to this post, so just in case: Anno 1790 spoilers ahead!

[tikula]

aaaaaaaaaa it may be the fault of the translation I found, but I don't understand Magdalena's and Daadh's confrontation after their first kiss :F Like, she went to him after learning that he was leaving the city for a few days, and asked if he was running. He said no, she said she broke her marriage vows and feels terrible about it, and accused him that everything's so simple to him. And then I don't quite get his response; he said that in the end he also considers it a mistake, but I don't understand why? And Magdalena got mad and told him that if she ever in the moment of weakness asks for his help again he shouldn't offer it.

I just totally don't know what's happened and it's bugging me orz

And since I seek your words of wisdom, I also have to admit I'm not sure why Daadh sent Freund to the hypnotism show. Did he simply not think about it or did he try to make some sort of point?

[yuuago]

I'm really pissed off, but at the same time I feel like I can't vent anywhere, because it would be really juvenile to do so about this particular thing.

ARRRRRRRRRRRGH.

I just wish she wouldn't be so rude to me, goddamn

[yohjideranged]

Hello!

I wanted to let you know that I am adding you to my reading list. I found you while searching for an older fandom of mine (Weiss Kreuz) and you came up in the listing. I have had a look around and you seem interesting, so I hope you don't mind the add. :)

[yuuago]

Hi, glad to meet you. :D
It's good to hear that people are still into Weiss Kreuz /o/ I've been meaning to rewatch it, since I recently bough the dvds (finally!)

Hello! I would like to talk to you about Moomins, APH Nordics and other things.

[soseki]

I found your livejournal account through the aph nordic fanwork communities noticed that it seems easier to contact you through dreamwidth even though I only just realize I have a dreamwidth and log in back.

I am not sure how to explain it but I would like to talk to you about how great the Moomins series are, how cute this entry icon is, etc....

Re: Hello! I would like to talk to you about Moomins, APH Nordics and other things.

[yuuago]

:D Nice to meet you! I use both Livejournal and Dreamwidth, so we can talk on either of those sites depending on your preference. For now, I'll add you as a friend on DW, okay?

[(Anonymous)]

Hi,

I would like to talk about languages and stuff but tbh I'm kind of nervous posting.

[yuuago]

Hi anon!
It's okay if you're nervous. If you just want to post as anon, that's fine.

What's up?

Hello!

[soseki]

Hey Yuu! How have you been doing lately? I haven't been on dreamwidth for maybe two months now. It's good to be back again.

I see that you watched Fantasia a while ago! I only watched the sequel but I heard the original film was nice although I did download the soundtrack because I am a sucker for classic music. ^^

Re: Hello!

[yuuago]

I'm doing okay! Been busy with lots of things... I've been writing Hetalia and such as usual, and also been circling around Zelda fandom a little. And watching boatloads of movies.

I haven't seen the second Fantasia, but now I'm curious about it to see how it compares to the original... I think, if you haven't seen the first one, it might be worth a look, except I don't know if anything is repeated/done similarly in the sequel.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm thinking back to when some anon made Norway imitate Denmark, and you described his loudest as still being "nowhere near as loud as Denmark". What, is Denmark like 5x louder? Hahahaha xD

[yuuago]

Haha, probably. Have you listened to them in the Hetalia Fantasia CD? Even at normal speaking volume, Denmark is still super loud!

Thank you

[absintheforest]

Thank you for adding me back! I found you through the directory due to common interests. I enjoy your comments about tarot. I'm not familiar with the fandoms you write for, but I look forward to learning about them.

Re: Thank you

[yuuago]

:D It's nice to meet you! I look forward to getting to know you better. <3

It's only recently that I've become more comfortable talking about my tarot-reading adventures (haha). So, knowing that there are people who don't mind reading about it is great, because it means I might write about that kind of thing a little more often.

[darjeeling]

Hi! You seem really interesting and into fannish things, but even though your entries are public, I didn't want to add you out of the blue. So, would you mind if I added you?

[yuuago]

\:D/ Go ahead! I'm happy to meet you!
Are you cool with me adding you back?

[(Anonymous)]

hello yuu

i am nervous to talk to you, a while ago we were friends but i know i was dealing with a lot of heavy stuff and wasn't the most pleasant person for a while and i did some bad things and i'm sorry...if you don't want to talk to someone you removed it's ok. i guess just lately i've been thinking a lot about you, whenever i see snufkin i think of you (i say as i drink coffee from a snufkin mukki) i guess.

so i am sorry if i am bothering you but from what i can tell it seems like you are doing ok and that makes me glad.

[yuuago]

Hi!

When it comes to people I have removed, sometimes I don't mind talking to them through a different medium, like email or DW comments instead of twitterchat or whatever. The medium sometimes makes a lot of difference in how people come across. Though it also depends on the person I guess.

But anyway, I hope that you're doing okay now! What have you been up to?

I appreciate that you took the time to contact me.

[ichipinky]

um...hello! you might not know me...at all? ^^; ive only recently ventured out of personal journaling to look for any thriving fandoms in DW after there were small talks over at Tumblr wanting to move to a healthier platform. i noticed you're active on the APH comm and your journal is very interesting! i hope you won't mind me subscribing! :)

[yuuago]

Hello hello! I don't mind at all. It's nice to see more people on DW who're into Hetalia; it's my biggest fandom but it never really seemed to take root here, except for at the anonmeme and kinkmeme. :Va Anyway, nice to meet you!

[raskolnikov]

The amount of comments on this post scares me

[yuuago]

Hah!

Most of them are from back when Hetalia fandom (and my LJ Flist) were really, really active. I can't imagine anything like this would happen these days.

Cannot tell if spam or aRTD injoke.

Computery stuff for aRTD index

[aguacatillo]

Summing up what I might be able to try!

- pull out sections that appear in predictable html, like author text below the comic and/or comment-section comments labelled as being written by Minna Sundberg

- find the extra art that's lying around, as long as it's hosted by the website (which it looks like presumably all of it is?) .... aaaaaaaaaah there's so much SSSS stuff in here and now I actually know who these people and places are and everything!

- label all text/images by what page number they came from; potentially label for some other kind of info too.

- re-arrange formats of data (including but not necessarily limited to spreadsheets)

- at some point it would help to see a sample spreadsheet of what info you'd ideally like to get from the website & how you sort it

- generally, let me know what would be useful and i'll say whether i can do any of it

- if i say i'm going to do something specific but then i am super slow and just silently putting it off with no timeline in mind, bothering me about it is often effective (and absolutely won't offend, i know i'm a hopeless procrastinator!)

Naturally I don't know what I'm doing as I've never done something exactly like this before, but the programming experience would be Good For Me ;3;

Re: Computery stuff for aRTD index

[yuuago]

Okay. So. It looks like we've got some interesting things here.

All of the information that you can pull sounds good. There might be some stuff directly on comic pages, but we might be able to add that manually somehow.

pull out sections that appear in predictable html, like author text below the comic and/or comment-section comments labelled as being written by Minna Sundberg

I need this. A lot of her author's notes are not necessarily relevant to my purposes, but if I have the text, I can sort through it.

find the extra art that's lying around, as long as it's hosted by the website

Yes please. Again, if I know where it is/what it is, I can sort it (SSSS sketches, comic previews, aRTD extra art, etc....)

label all text/images by what page number they came from; potentially label for some other kind of info too.

Page number, definitely. I would also want the date.

re-arrange formats of data (including but not necessarily limited to spreadsheets)

This would be necessary, I think, because I would need some way that I can add to/clarify/categorize it, such as by character or whatever.

As for examples, take a look at the thread on SSSSForum, "Key Minna posts through the comments".
https://ssssforum.com/index.php?topic=130.0
My original plan was, after I finished skalding everything, I would make a thread like this, and then plunk the data in chronological order by chapter (possibly with further divisions depending on how much there was). But first I would need all of the data in order to do that.

I did start, and I put together this spreadsheet:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1W3s-kwyStMVd6zkyBEcCWhMrFZmTnUd0ouSdDdjOCDI/edit?usp=sharing

That gives kind of an idea of what I was looking for/what I had in mind. And on the second tab you can see the extra art index that I had started but didn't get very far with.

Part of the problem was, I had trouble deciding what was relevant and what was not. I think if I had all the data viewable in front of me, I might have an easier time categorizing/including/sorting. ...And then of course the other problem was the RSI bullshit I mentioned before, but. I was pushing myself too hard.

So. What do you think of all this? Basically, what you can pull sounds good. It will give us the information we need. Then, I need a way to sort/categorize it.

This is in my bookmarks. What do you think?

[yuuago]

What do you think of it?

That type of meme isn't really relevant to my interests, so I don't have an opinion on it.

[wickedlittletown]

Hello :)
I am starsandbread from livejournal and I have more or less moved to this site too. I hope it was okay to follow you here too. I am still in the progress of finding everyone from my f-list over there here too.

[yuuago]

AHH hi! It's nice to have you! I'll look forward to being able to actually read your entries now - I had to stop reading my FList over there because LJ doesn't work well on my computer.

[zimena]

Hi there. I found you while looking for people interested in Legend of Zelda. I'm a fan of the games since childhood, and tend to go through phases where I'm extra into them. Usually when a new game comes out, but sometimes otherwise as well. Oh, and you're into Yuri on Ice, which I'm sort of planning to watch soon. Also, I've been a Eurovision fan for almost as long as I can remember, though I was perhaps even more into it back when songs had to be in a country's official language. Before the age of the Internet, this was THE way to hear music in interesting languages from across Europe. Finally, you are learning my native language, which sort of amazes me :) Can I ask, why Norwegian? It's not a big language, so it makes me smile to think that you're learning it.

Anyway, I just subscribed to your journal. Hope to get to know you. If you want, of course :)

[yuuago]

Hiii nice to meet you! /o/

LoZ is great <3 Always nice to see more fans of it. I'm so glad that they've made 3DS versions of the old games - it means I finally have a way to replay Majora's Mask etc, since I don't have access to the old consoles. <3

Hopefully you'll like YOI when you get around to it! It's a really cute show. *_*

As for "Why Norwegian"... well, there are a lot of reasons behind it, but - basically I wanted to learn a language just for fun. I figured that it should be a Nordic language, since I'm interested in the history of the region... and then I decided on Norwegian, because I really love the way it sounds. :D I'm really terrible at it though, because it's hard to find time to practice. xD

Looking forward to getting to know you! <3

all the Nordics are on here! http://hetalia-mbti.tumblr.com/post/157438921114/aph-mbti-the-four-symbols-next-to-their-types Do you agree?

[yuuago]

I've never been able to wrap my head around that MBTI stuff, so I can't really say.

Crap goddamn sonova-
I HATE PANICKING FOR NO GODDAMN REASON. WHY, WHY, WHY.

I have NO reason to be distressed right now, but here we are. Fuck everything.

Re: /scream

I just want to go to bed forever and ever and ever.

(Oops)

UGHHH WHYYYYY. Really pleasant to get smacked in the face by anxiety. Sure is. Just sitting here, panicking, for... no reason?

WTF, brain.
