//Crawls out of pit labelled ‘Finals’ coughing up blood: “Holy shit, I survived.”

Here’s the final instalment of these comics! Yay! Your heart will hurt.\\

SHEESH, RATTLE & ROLL 👻

There’s an urban ghost story where, if you turn up headless in the rear-view mirror of the vehicle you boarded, you HAVE to burn the clothes you wore to avoid certain death. The usual format is a lone student riding the jeep back to the dorm. I wrote a different setup for this silly Hetaween 2021 comic.

[maivalkov]

OK, but can we stop for a moment to appreciate the work you do with your fanfics?

I mean, this afternoon I was rereading some of your fics on AO3 and I landed on "Gatito". I looked at the date of the first publication and it's in 2018. whaaaaat?????!!!! i mean, it's incredible that a fic released 5 years ago is still alive and updated!!! i know there have been pauses, as is natural and necessary, but the amount of hours spent, the times you must have had to write, make drafts, rewrite, delete again until you've found what you were looking for, or at least an approximation. All this shows devotion and involvement and that's why I wanted to acknowledge the effort you have made and continue to make in updating and creating content despite how difficult it must be to reconcile it with work and personal problems. For this very reason, thank you.

The same applies to Zoute Drop. You started the story on 27 May 2021 and you're still updating! Girl, that's what you call perseverance :) And to all this, you have to add the special events like hetaweek or the special weeks to the ships, like Spuk, of whom you take the time to post fics.

Well, I've realised that I've come up with a long text hahahaha, it's not my intention to be heavy. I simply wanted to reflect on the time/effort/consistency that you dedicate to your works. (which are also incredible, the way you manage to capture the emotions of the characters and capture them in words so that those who read them can feel them; how you manage to maintain the tension at the end of each chapter and you manage to make my day happy every time you update a new chapter, and I'm convinced that this happens to all of us who read your creations ;)

Having said that, I hope you have a good night and the sweetest dreams 🤍 (and thank you again for every masterpiece that you upload)

I think praise really ought to be given to the attention and love you've poured into this ask, anon.

I have a lot of feelings about Gatito. It's witnessed my highs and lows, it's been a much-needed teacher in the ways of writing, and it's the reason I now call certain amazing writers 'friend'.

I'm incredibly grateful to that word child, and to those who've stuck with me all this time. I always wanted to see this fic through till the end, and I'm happy there are people willing to join me as we plod towards the finish line. :)

Zoute Drop feels considerably young in comparison, but now that you mention it, I guess it's getting on too, right? (Fear not. There's still plenty of time and chapters left in that one.)

I adore writing, as you've probably noticed. Events are a great outlet for the NedPort or EngSpa daydreams, or a whole new prompt I wouldn't normally consider. For anyone interested, on that note, I'll be taking part in @hetaberia-week very soon, and, for the first time ever... @hetaween-event later this year >:)

Thank you again for your kind words, I can't express how much it means. Despite reading the same fics time and again myself, I forget people might enjoy revisiting mine. It's a strange but wonderful feeling. If the stories I churn out provide something, whether that's a laugh or mild frustration as I leave you all on another cliffhanger (looking at you Gatito), then my work here is done. I'm glad you enjoy my fics, truly, and hope you have a wonderful day. 💖

[Hetaween 2021]: Day 1 - Alice in Wonderland AU

The Queen of Hearts isn’t known for his mercy and the Hatter sure pissed him off to the limit... We’ll be painting white roses red tonight.

~o~

My artworks this year will be mostly sketches/unfinished lineart with colour cause I haven’t had much time for full drawings - or fanart at least -, so I hope this is alright! 

I won’t be participating in all of the days, but I picked the ones I liked most (and already broke down to a number I could manage). I’m trying out some new brushes so...sorry if the final piece looks kinda sloppy ^^”

Also I kinda started these one month prior to the event so I may regret posting it eventually but who knows

Hetaween Day 7 : Death Note AU

For the   @hetaween-hetaliaevent !

****

Couldn’t make a serious one, even for halloween! XD

In this AU, Estonia wants so badly to become a Nordic that he attempt to destroy Russia who monopolizes him. But he ignores that even Busby’s chair couldn’t defeat him, so how a mere book could! OuO

[askfreedumbland]

How did your Halloween go?

"It was a good Halloween, but I still feel kinda... off. Like it's been lasting longer than it should."

"And that's my cue to fix time... after I broke it a little. I'm sure it's fine."

"... did anyone else feel a temporal anomaly, or was it just me?"

Down The Rabbithole

Here I am for HetaWeen 2021! This is basically a speed run of Alice in Wonderland + I'll probably miss some stuff because I don't remember anything lmao + added parts because why not? That and Germany isn't here because I have no idea who he's supposed to be based on official art.

Prompt: Alice in Wonderland AU AU: Alice in Wonderland TW: Caterpillar!China uses drugs so, if ya ain't comfy with that skip past the parts with China (he's only in one scene though) Human Names: Seychelles: Therése Laroche Japan: Honda Kiku (Kiku Honda) China: Wang Yao (Yao Wang) France: Francis Bonnefoy America: Alfred F. Jones Russia: Ivan Braginsky Italy: Feliciano Vargas England: Arthur Kirkland

Oh and @hetaween-hetaliaevent ————————————————

Therése Laroche was bored as hell. She was sitting in a tree listening to her stupid tutor ramble on about dates and times she couldn't be bothered to learn.

Why focus on the past when you can daydream about the future?

Therése almost fell asleep when she saw something out of the corner of her eye.

She whispered to herself, "Is that a man with rabbit ears and a tail?"

She rubbed her eyes, thinking she was seeing things but she wasn't. And she had to find out what the hell was going on.

Therése slinked away from her sitting position in the tree and started to run towards the rabbit man.

"Mr. Rabbit! Mr. Rabbit! Wait!" She called out to him.

When she got close enough she could hear the rabbit mumbling to himself, "Kiku, you've really stepped in it now! I'm late, I'm late, I'll be late!"

Once it seemed like he heard her, he turned over his shoulder and exclaimed back to her (still running), "I'm late! For a very important date! No time to say "hello", goodbye! I'm late, I'm late!"

The rabbit man, or "Kiku", seemed to be in a rush.

Therése called after him, "But where are you going?"

Kiku didn't respond and jumped down a hole in the ground.

Once Therése got closer, she noticed it was a rabbit hole.

She came closer and closer, until she slipped and fell.

She fell down, down, down the rabbit hole. ———————————————— After an encounter with a talking door, a talking flower patch and shrinking to being three inches, Therése was less excited about this wonderful new place.

But even so, seeing a bunch of things that shouldn't talk, talk, she had become less affected by the talking caterpillar man sitting on a mushroom with a hookah pipe.

That's not to say that she wasn't surprised, she was simply less surprised.

Therése walked up to his mushroom carefully, "Um, excuse me?"

The caterpillar man (who turned out to just be a man with a caterpillar-esque cape) turned towards her, "Yes?"

Therése was about to explain her situation but before she could say anything, the caterpillar man cut her off, "Whatever it is, make it quick. I have things to do."

Therése wondered what a caterpillar man (who she learned his name was Yao after looking at some inscriptions on his mushroom) had to do but she explained what had happened anyways. The white rabbit man named Kiku, the doorknob and (mostly) everything.

Yao smiled fondly when he heard Kiku's name, "Let me guess, he was late for a very important date? Aiyaa, he needs to learn when to slow down a bit."

The man had started to talk about Kiku but Therése politely interrupted, "Sir, I need to find him! I think he might know how I can grow back to my normal height and how I can get out of here!"

Yao set down his pipe and glowered at her, "Kids these days need to learn how to respect their elders!  And what's wrong with being three inches tall? This is the height I've been my entire life!"

Therése stuttered out a weak apology but Yao was already leaving.

She sighed to herself. Back to square one.

——————————————————

Therése was tired. She had gotten herself lost in a forest, and prior to that she had been mistaking for Kiku's maid, grew to be bigger than a house and had to run away to where she was now.

A dark forest, with no one in sight.

She would've cried but she still had hope. She would get home somehow.

That's when she heard a yawn. She jumped to her feet and turned around to see what (or who) made the noise.

"Ve-meow~"

She saw a man with purple cat ears and a tail in a tree, giving her a lazy smile. The man and her were engaged in a staring contest, as if they were investigating each other.

"Ciao!"

Therése nearly screamed but she kept her mouth shut, "Wh-who are you?"

The cat man smiled and disappeared.

Therése spun around in confusion before hearing his voice again.

"I'm the Cheshire Cat! Or Feliciano! Or Feli! Whichever works best for you!" He exclaimed with enthusiasm.

Therése cleared her throat and introduced herself, "My name is Therése Laroche. I got lost in the woods and I was hoping you could help me Mr. Feliciano. It would be very much appreciated if you could help."

Therése (and author-kun) hated that she sounded so formal but at the same time, she didn't know the social rules of the place. Though to Therése it seemed more likely that there weren't any at all.

Feliciano seemed to have lost focus half way through and was playing with his tail, "Hmm? Oh you want me to help you get out of the forest! I can do that!"

He went to stand next to her and point her in the right direction, "In order to get to the March Hare's house-"

"Who's the March Hare?"

"You'll see, I promise, bella! So in order to get to the March Hare's house-"

He pointed her in the right direction very quickly and with a lot of hand gestures. It was confusing but she got the gist of it and went off on her way.

As she was going, she didn't notice the Cheshire Cat grinning and disappearing in a puff of sparkles.

————————————

Therése knocked on the March Hare's door and it was opened by a man with brown ears like a hare.

"Oh sweet dude you came just in time!"

He pulled her inside and Therése was immediately seated a table with a mouse man and a man with a hat.

"Why hello there mon chéri, I am the Mad Hatter!" The man with the hat greeted.

"Hello there-"

"And I'm the Dormouse!" The mouse man said with enthusiasm.

"Hello to you too Mr. Dormouse. I'm here-"

The man who Therése assumed to be the March Hare appeared again, "It's time to celebrate the Unbirthday of the Mad Hatter! Let's sing the Unbirthday Song dudes and get this party started!"

The Dormouse clapped a little before falling asleep.

Therése wondered, "A unbirthday?"

The March Hare started to sing, "It's a very happy unbirthday to you!"

"To moi?" The Mad Hatter pointed to himself as if he didn't know it was his unbirthday.

"To you!"

Therése started to hum along to the melody and quickly caught on and commented, "It's my unbirthday too!"

The Mad Hatter clapped his hands together, "Really? What a small world it is!"

The March Hare started to nudge the Dormouse, "Ivan! Wake up! We have to sing the Unbirthday Song!"

The Dormouse woke up groggily, "Too sleepy to sing, Alfred."

Therése chuckled, "It's fine, that's not what I'm here for anyways. I'm here to find a way back home. The Cheshire Cat said you'd help Mr. March Hare."

The March Hare's ears perked up, "He said I could help?"

"Yes, he did!"

"Well it is the hero's job to help!"

"Thank you-"

"But I don't think I can help."

Therése asked incredulously, "What?!"

"Sorry dude! It's rude to leave during someone's Unbirthday party!"

Therése started to get up, "Oh okay, I can figure it out myself I guess."

As she left the trio left behind her wished her good luck.

———————————

Therése had no idea how she got to this point.

"WHO PAINTED MY ROSES RED?" The Queen of Hearts shouted.

The cards who Therése helped paint the roses red started to tremble and stammer.

"It was him, your majesty!"

"No, it was him!"

The Queen of Hearts yelled, "Off with their heads!"

The rest of the court applauded and cheered in agreement.

Therése gulped, this was not how she wanted her young life to end!

"Behead all of them! Except, the girl." The Queen commanded.

He continued, "We shall play a round of croquet."

Therése internally raised an eyebrow. She was going to play croquet? What's the point of that?

"And if she loses, it'll be off with her head!"

Oh, so there is a point?

That's when she noticed that most, if not all the people she had met on her adventure were there.

Kiku tapped the Queen's shoulder, "Arthur, I don't think we should be gambling with her life."

Arthur or the Queen of Hearts glared at him and Kiku stepped back, maybe out of fear or maybe from not wanting to get too involved.

Therése expected to be handed a mallet but instead she was handed a... flamingo?

"Uhhh." She faltered.

The Queen of Hearts gave her a look, "What is it?"

She shook her head, "Nothing! Give me a ball!"

The court started to laugh.

"A ball? Have you never played croquet? You use a hedgehog!" One of them jeered.

Therése gulped again. A hedgehog?

A small blue hedgehog was placed at her feet.

Therése started to swing her flamingo before stopping.

"I won't hit an innocent hedgehog!"

"Oh really? Well then off with your head!" The Queen yelled.

Therése started to run back to the forest.

She ran and ran until she couldn't anymore.

Therése sat down on a stump and started to fall asleep. Maybe it was all a dream.

—————————

"Seychelles! Wake up dude!"

Seychelles mumbled groggily, "Mr. March Hare?"

"Dude, I don't know who the March Hare is but I'm America!"

France patted her shoulder, "I think you fell asleep mon chéri. You should get some rest at the hotel room."

Seychelles opened her eyes and realized that her adventures were all a dream.

"I think I've slept enough for one day Mr. France." She said while getting up.

That was one weird dream.

———————————

Thanks for reading dudes! I know this is late but it's fine (I think). Hopefully the next one will come soon.

I hope y'all enjoyed!

@hetaween-hetaliaevent day 3!

What can be more homemade zombie than a confused teen trying his best?

[orbitinghetalia]

Danse macabre (day 1) + Nation x Ghost (day 29) for @pruktober.

A flute instead of the violin and a ghost instead of a body coming out of the grave, but other than that it's just like Danse Macabre.
