Okay controversial question:

Who's your favorite little guy in Hetalia and why?

Indeed a controversial question, but what do you mean by little guy? Little guy like small character, or like basic character? I'll answer the second one anyways lol (you are very sus, anon btw).

char. - character fav. - favourite

Fav. char. based on char. traits: (look for this colour)

Fav. char. based on acting in the series, subjective and patriotic opinion also included:

This one's easy to answer, it's Hungary. Partly 'cause I'm Hungarian and I love Hungary from many aspects, but she's so badass in the anime and the manga. I sometimes saw ppl considering her to be the manliest character in the series, so that's a bonus point, I guess. So yup, she's lovely, blowing kissies for her :3 (hogy a történeti hűség is meglegyen, magyarul is kiírom, hogy a térdeimre borulok a hölgyeményért. Szeretünk, Magyarország ε>) (Böskéről órákig tudnék beszélni, de már most érzem, hogy ez hosszúra fog nyúlni.)

Oh yeah, and people, her name is written as Héderváry Erzsébet, not Elizabeta, Elizaveta, Elizabeth, and the é's and the á are important, don't replace them with e and a, they are different vowels. Her most common nicknames are Bözsi, Böske, Bözsike, Erzsi, Erzsike, feel free to use them!

And, the other one:

I love almost all the characters (except for 2P! Russia :[ ), and I could ramble about some characters quite much. But let's stick with France, because he's the most controversial one, lmao.

Why this guy (csigazabálő szőke rüfke, a lehető legjobb értelmében, magyarul jobban sértegetek) [pros]:

First, he's got quite much of screen time, which helps to understand Himaruya's idea about France (that's a huge advantage though, and is "unfair" to char.s that appear rarely). In the anime, he was hilarious, I enjoyed every moment where he appeared lol (I like analyzing ppl cognitively, and that's a bonus point, hehe. Se dom definitely, and Fi is his second function, in my opinion. That would be SeFiTeNi, an ESFP, but argumenting abt why this is valid is a lot more than what I want to type. You can ask me if you're curious though!). Once I've got a general idea about France's cognitive functions (how his brain works, for ppl who'd rather avoid Swiss psychiatrists [Karl Jung, I mean]), it's time to get ideas (and no sleep).

France's character is very colourful, and can work in a lot of situatuons (just as his history btw! we usually call France by arts, museums, baroque, music, etc., but many scientists, e. g. Félix d'Hérelle, Lavoisier or Pasteur come from here, and Frenchies also were the ones who laid out basic units of measure in continental Europe [like meter or gram], pretty cool and practical, because it's all decimal. They tried to make time measurement also decimal, but it failed). I've got 9 projects that rely on France heavily, so yeah, he fits in almost everywhere.

France's character isn't flawless, and that makes a character good. You usually like characters that actually develop, or are able to develop, and it's just easy for me to understand where France's flaws come from (it depends on which situation he's put in, but in the anime, he's lazy, a bit of a hyporcite, stubborn, and proud, just to mention some, and these flaws are easy for me to express. If France in a story actually focuses on fixing these, he could make a good development, and I can express it nicely).

France is pretty, ngl. He's easy to draw, I quickly routinised the process. I love his hair, it's fun to mess with. Not a strong argument, I know.

France is very shipable for me, I've got 5 ships that involve him [namely FrUK, RusFra, GerFra, PrusFra, Frain]. This is important if you're one of those yaoi readers in the corner of a classroom.

Bonus: Natsuki Kizu, the mangaka of Given, had the inspiration to Haruki from France! If this isn't awesome, then nothing is (not even Prussia). Source (I couldn't find the original post, but you can have this):

First one is France, second one is Haruki. Tell me the difference (I can't see it)!

But as every characters, France also has downsides. Pretty deep ones, this is where we reach the controversial part [cons]:

(According to the anime,) France is annoying. Okay, he's amazing, gorgeous, sly and all that, but as I said, he's proud. And not quiet. Combine the two, and you make me want to rip out all strings of France's beard.

For some reason, I actually went insane by France for 2 months. It was some shit about second foreign language in our school, and I got so mad at myself for not choosing French that I got mad at APH France as well, lol. Every time I saw something that reminded at him, I told a rant and destructrive criticism first about the object I saw, and then one about France as well (but it's over now, yay).

Minus point for his official human name, which is Francis Bonnefoy. It's English, the French version should be François Bonnefoy, and it just irritates me that he's got an English name despite being the personification of France xD or he could be Ferenc Bonnefoy, if I want to push this thing more (Ferenc is Francis in Hungarian). So yeah, his first name sucks.

2013 France Fanpop. No comment, you know if you know (I gave a link, so you can be cursed as well).

Bonus art dump of France doodles I've made:

Thank you for asking! Love you, anon ε>

me trying to make a gif part 2 (thrilling finale, buildup ver.)

ok good news and bad news: good news being withheld for Spoilers (not that it’s that hard to guess anyway lol), bad news explained first bc, chronologically, it is first

so yesterday i mentioned in the tags of that post that i had seen that krita has an animation feature so i was gonna try importing the frames into that and then exporting it as a gif. easier said than done, as it turns out

i started by opening the file i made yesterday with 62 layers as the frames and importing that into krita, which worked fine (i didn’t know you could actually open .psd files in clip stuido ((this typo is so fucking stupid it made me laugh so im leaving it)) and krita, so that’s pretty neat, i wonder if it works the other way around too) but i ran into problems when i tried to convert those layers into frames in an animation. because, like, the layout of the program has the layers displayed in one tab, and the animation timeline in another, like so:

(do u like how im using pictures now, i thought of that yesterday after i published the other post and realized hey, visual reference would probably make my plight a lot easier to understand!! so enjoy these educational diagrams from now on)

so my goal was to get the frames from the layers into the timeline, and i still don’t know if i did it right bc lbr krita is not very intuitive at all,,.,, i mean i watched a video tutorial abt how to animate in krita which was v helpful (it’s the one by jesse j james on yt fuckin SHout out) but it was about animating from scratch, not importing an animation you’ve already done elsewhere

so like, the way krita’s animation thing works, from what i could piece together as i bumbled my way around w/ it, is that each layer in the layers tab is a separate timeline in the,,, timeline tab

i want them all to be in the same timeline, not separate ones, and there’s no way to combine them in the timeline tab bc doing that just overwrites whatever layer you’re pasting it down onto, and also if you define the number of frames for that timeline (62 for this project) it just puts the single image of that layer for all of the frames instead of just one of them, so you’d have to go through and delete all the other frames you don’t want it to be, which would be such a fuckin pain

so i found a workaround, which is so tedious that it can’t be the right way to do it, but basically i started w/ layer 1 and defined 62 frames & then emptied frames 2-62, like this

(that blue box is the frame, btw, even tho it says 0, which actually kind of annoys me like why doesn’t it start the first frame on 1????)

from there i went up to layer two and selected that in the timeline, but for some reason the frame doesn’t show up automatically?

& i couldnt fuckin figure out how to make it into like, an Official Timeline Layer or whatever tf bc like, u see on layer 1 how theres that little lightbulb-looking icon on the right? that’s for turning on onion skin which only applies when you actually have frames with things drawn on them, so basically layer 2 in the layers tab has a drawing but in the timeline it doesn’t?

i didn’t find out what the actual reason for this is or how you’re /supposed/ to make the frame appear in the timeline, but what i did was right click on layer 2′s timeline & select “create blank frame” which magically made the frame i want appear

but it’s on top of the layer 1 frame, and i want it to be the frame after. also it’s still in a different timeline. this is the only easy fix in this whole damn process, u can literally just click & drag the frame from layer 2 to layer 1 and put it wherever u want on the timeline

and then u just delete layer 2 and that’s it, frame transferred!! then i just had to do that for 60 more layers and after [unspecified amount of time but it was a fuckin while ok] my timeline looked like this!

(the gaps near the end are held frames, to save me time so i didn’t have to copy a bunch of frames that were exactly the same)

krita is great because as far as i know ur animation can have an unlimited number of frames, at the risk of your own pc’s processing power, which is a definite upside to SOME expensive art programs i know (clip studio, i’m talking abt csp) and u can pick the frame rate too (cough photoshop elements 5.0 even tho u dont technically have an animation feature & it’s a miracle u can even make gifs at all) so once i finally got all the frames situated all nice and in order like on the same timeline, playing it was great! played at the right speed, looped perfectly, it was a dream come true right

well, time to export it as a gif

ha

haha

hoooo oo  o

so u got 2 options for exporting ur animation, u can either hit “export,” which lets u save it as different file types, one of which being gif, or you can hit “render,” which gives you gif and video options

well

i tried export first, bc that seemed like a good idea, but the “””gif””” it made was distinctly not a gif, despite its claim to be one?? this is what i got:

notice: 1. it is not moving, and 2. the black bars to the sides?? those are supposed to be transparent. they’re transparent in the file i made so why didn’t they register as transparent in the export, when gifs have transparency capabilities??

so That was some real live bullshit but i still had the “render” option, right? export was wrong, so rrender must be the correct option to go to that will produce the results i am wanting to see produced in front of me like a silver dinner platter with a correctly functioning gif under the lid, that’s what i want to see and “Render Animation...” is gonna Give me that silver platter righWRONG ok look at this shit rn ok Look

it says GIF it says it RIGHT THERE right??? right?????? then WHY

?????????????

and it also gave me all This bullshit

like did i ask?? did i fucking ask???? i already have all the individual frames why do i need even M o re i mfjgjgk

((rationally ok yea thats v useful for if ur making the animation in krita and want to export the frames to use elsewhere, but like uhhh 1. again, they’re not transparent & 2. i should have the option of saying i don’t want these??? bc *meme voice* i don’t want these)

so in the end i could find NO correct method of exporting animations as a gif in krita bc every ooption that says gif is fuckign LYING to ur face there are NO gifs in krita, aliens made the progam who looked at gifs and went “hmm i thikng this is how a gif works “ and just made jpegs instead but somehow got on the computers good side and got it to lie for them about it being a gif so thats why it says gif on the file still even tho its not a gif illimati confinr

so what is the conclusion to this? well i said there was good news too, and this is the portion where i divulge that sweet nectar (i type dthis 2 seconds ago and @ me what the fuck)

so after wasting a good 2 hours trying to figure out krita i gave up and watched some good old [youtuber name redacted bc what if it shows up in search & ppl see this dumbass post in there but it rhymes with fjackfsepticfeye] to relax into accepting my fate that i’ll never be able to upload my animations to tungle except in poor quality loopless video form, making me into a laughing stock on my own art blog, but THEN i had a stroke of genius, in my Brain

so if u read yesterday’s post u might remember that flipnote studio, the animation program i use on my ds, to animate, has the option to export files as gifs, both animated and sequential (meaning either as one fully animated gif or each individual frame separately), which is super convenient, but as i mentioned yesterday, any time i tried to open the folder with those files on my laptop, it crashed immediately

WELL today i thought “hey, how about instead of opening the folder in the sd card when it’s plugged in, how about i copy that folder from the sd card to my flash drive, and try to open it there, in case it’s the card’s hardware that’s causing the problem, not corrupted files”

so i tried that and it FUCKING WORKED THANK GOD GLORY HALLELUJAH

so now instead of spedning A THOUSAND YEARS trying and failing to force art programs to bend to my will i can just export the animations straight from my ds and drag them onto my computer Just As God Intended oh GOD im so fucking happy

here’s the gif in the end, i’m gonna post it to my art blog too but this is the Green Version bc i animate in green bc of some default settings in flipnote that i got used to, plus it makes me feel like i’m just sketching so nothing really has to be finalized so i’m comfortable while i work, and also it’s just nice ok it’s a Nice Green

(there’s a few frames at the end that are like the extra scraps from while i was working dw i got rid of those in the final version that i’m posting to my art blog later. also i added my blog url to that one too it’s aaaaaall good)

the only downside to this method is that i can’t change the canvas size to be 540px wide to fit with tumbrl s image dimensions but whatever i can just post them in a text post and fix the html to display it at its original size instead of the resizing bullshit tmurbl pulls constantly ugh. anyway it works great on desktop but it’s inevitably gonna look like shit on mobile no matter what i do *Big Ass Shrug*

anyway thats the end of my success story uhh i can’t make the like comment & subscribe joke again bc i already did that in the last post so like bye i guess thanks 4 watchign & have a great day i’ll see u in my next fvideo

hey

Naruto Challenge

thanks @lepsuconi​ for taggin me

Name Your Favorite

Female Characters: tsunade, karin, hinata

Male Characters: rock lee, itachi, gaara, kankuro

Team: team gai 

Sensei: gai :’)

Hokage: tsunade

Kage: gaara 

Village: mist

Akatsuki: deidara and kisame

Jutsu: if we’re talkin in general i like taijutsu the most but for a certain move i like hinatas twin lion fists

Episode/Chapters: the kakashi mask one what else could there possibly be but in all seriousness i like the zabuza and haku fight / aftermath like. it just can not be beat cause they werent just regular ol bad guys

Fighting Scene: gaara vs lee you know why

Fanfiction: i dont read that much fanfic ig 

OTP (Explain why): kakagai because theyre fuckinf perfect for eachother duh and also narusasu because the whole fucking anime is about the relationship between them. i also like sakura x ino you know tf why :’) (OH and hashimada because madara put hashiramas face on his titty)

NOTP: any incest / age gap which is probably a given (kakasaku shippers should die) but 2 be specific sasusaku bc its abusive or almost any het ship except narusaku bc thats p good in my book.

Crack Ship: kankuro and kiba. its just good

BroTP: naruto and kiba LOL

OT3: gaara, sasuke, and naruto. 

Crossover Ship: ive devoted my entire life to naruto

Do You Have Any Headcanons: the ending of naruto doesnt happen and instead after naruto and sasukes fight resulting in two less arms theyre like fuck it lets run away together and naruto realizes he didnt want to be hokage he just wanted to be recognized as a good person who deserves respect and he got that by the end so he lets sakura become hokage with ino as her shadow and also wife.... also everyones a lesbian

Are you happy with the ending? Anything you would have changed? More or less: well i explained it before in the last question its kinda just what i think really happened because kishimoto is a little bitch . but lets be realistic if naruto HAD to end up w some girl it shouldve been sakura. they just get along well and have always been close and understanding of each other . hinata should have taken care of her clan because she REALLY strived to be the best for her family. also there is no way in fucking hell naruto would be a neglectful father like he is depicted later on.

How do you feel about the new generation: theyre cute but after watching a few eps of the anime i can definitely say they rush way too much like holy shit i have no time to process any of it and the jutsus are ferocious right off the bat. maybe boruto is just skilled? but there should definitely be a slower pace christ

Say something about your favorite character. Good and bad: well it would be a given that my absolute fave is naruto so i guess like anyone i loved his enthusiasm and loyalty but it does piss me off

Say something genuinely nice about your NOTP: i have nothing for you. Leave

Say something negative about your OTP:

Anyway to change your mind about  your NOTP: no please die

What made you mad about the series? um basically the whole child soldiers thing for 1 and 2 sasuke was right the whole damn time and naruto should have fucking listened to him thanks (basically naruto was too fucking patriotic abt the village and sasuke saw right through that dumb shit) naruto should have realized the village needed massive changes and instead he just thought sasuke was having some sort of phase

If you could see anything happen in the series, what would it be? everyone beating the shit out of kishimoto 

What would you say to Kishimoto: fuck you old man

i tag anyone who wants to ! @shepe idk if this is ur kinda thing also @narutoi
