So uh

I joined another fest.

That brings the total of things that I'm participating in up to three (3). The Nordics Exchange, the Sweden/Finland fest, and now... add the Denmark/Iceland fest to the pile.

I'm possibly going to be regretting this later, but right now I regret nothing.

(It's a nice challenge! And the Den/Ice one has a 200-word minimum! It wouldn't be hard for me to make that limit at all!)

In other news I'm officially halfway through playing Valiant Hearts. And this is TERRIBLE, because I want this game to go on for much longer. I mean, I'm sure it's paced really well and everything, but but but-- I don't want to be finished with it! Then again I suppose when I'm done with it, I can try to 100% all of the achievements and collection-tasks, since it's really easy to do that in this game, but STILL.

...that's so obvious how did I not think of it. I mean, I could build on that, actually! This is a great starting point.

Fluff with Czechia and Slovakia sounds awesome '3' (anything with them sounds awesome, but fluff is, like, awesome times two). It'd kind of pose a problem to me, tbh, because while I have a very clear image of Czechia in my head, when it comes to Slovakia it's kind of... well, there is something there, but it's so blurred. Both when it comes to his design and personality, actually.

Ay, Himaruya's making a cute series about Nero now, so yep, you definitely can't get any weirder. Even if you tried, I think. And without even saying anything about the things he wrote in the past, ahah.
I think the one design that stuck with me was by a Czech artist actually, and their Czechia had a hat :T idk, it was very cute.
I can't remember where you wrote about her having blonde hair - like, when it was present-time or the past, bc if it was about the present, well, I was wondering why there's so little of character dying their hair! I think someone wrote a headcanon about Monaco doing it a lot - dying her hair, that is - and I like the idea, and actually I think Czechia would be into it too. Maybe she wouldn't do it as often as Monaco, since I like to think Monaco changes her hair colour quite a lot, but I definitely see Czechia as the kind of person who'd like it too.

So, my point is, if you wrote about her having blonde hair in present times, you can easily explain it off with that (if you like this idea too). And if not... well, headcanons change :d I like her with darker hair, too. Originally it was brown hair to me (kind of like Liet's), but now I'm wondering if even darker wouldn't be more fun.

Coming back to epic ideas and getting history wrong; I worry about it too, even when I don't write anything epic and even when I'm only writing about nations from "my neighborhood" (so theoretically it should be easier!) on the other hand if it's something there's not much sources for in English, I don't think it's a major mistake '3' (though I get it, every mistake feels like a major one)

Don't worry about the pictures (but, I'll be on the lookout :D)

^3^ In that case, if you do end up doing something with Canada and Lithuania, I'd look forward to reading it.

... Yeah you're right, I couldn't get any weirder than Himaruya. Ever. I just. [/gestures to mochis] [/and alpaca comics] [????]
Anyway. Yeah, in that historical fic I wrote, Czech had blond hair - like I mentioned, I wanted close family resemblance to Poland. BUT then again, who says I need to adhere to my previous headcanon, really. ;p But. !! You're right, dyed blond hair in modern day is a good idea. A while back I was doing a search in order to get ideas for character designs, and all the ladies had blonde hair, but thinking back on it, it was definitely dyed fff.

Writing history though... It's just, if I got something wrong, I would be so embarrassed. orz. Though I guess it should be more forgivable if there aren't detailed sources that I can read... You say that theoretically it should be easier for you, since you're writing characters in your neighbourhood, but I don't think that's necessarily so. You might have more detailed (better?) sources available to you, but there's also additional pressure to get it right, I think. Because it's stuff that you should already know about. Or something. '3'
