Just a thought, you know that Canada would drag his family into ice sports with him.
Figure skating? France would love the artistry.
Curling? England would appreciate the strategies.
Hockey? Time to bash America into the boards.

Yes, I am finally watching some NHL playoff hockey for the first time in years.
I just watched the Leafs score the overtime goal to stay alive and force another game.
Canucks start in a few minutes, can win their series tonight.

I must not mock Gen Alpha. Mocking Gen Alpha is the mind killer. Mocking Gen Alpha is the little-death that brings total generational solidarity obliteration. I will engage with Gen Alpha lovingly. I will permit them to be cringe. And when they grow up I will turn my eye to their accomplishments. Where mocking has gone there will be nothing. Only generational solidarity remains

in the japanese suburbs, every street is lined with rain gutters, so even during heavy rain, the streets are perfectly navigable, even on foot. in the american suburbs, there's like one drain every couple of streets, so whenever it storms, the streets turn into rivers

There’s something very nice about remembering fics you read years ago. Maybe you remember the plot perfectly, maybe the rest of the fic is only a blur aside from a handful of vivid scenes, but you remember the way it made you feel. And sometimes you dredge up the memory - the premise or a favourite scene or a few lines that stayed with you -  and your heart aches a little bit, the way it does when you think about books you enjoyed as a child.
To all the fanfiction writers out there: your work is beautiful and meaningful and it leaves an impact. I promise.

actual criticisms of academia:
cost of education acting as class barrier
exploitation of graduate workers
colonialist past and present
ties to military industrial complex
danger of power structure entrenching and justifying orthodox views on social issues
criticisms of academia that get made:
those damn ivory tower academics are wasting money learning about things

The thing I like about Hetalia is I can do whatever I want with the characters. If I want to put the United States of America in a cheerleading outfit, and make him kiss his enemy of 84+ years while they ice skate, than I damn well will.

Don't mind me, just doing some blog maintenance.
Decided to break out my fanfiction stuff into its own separate masterpost that my profile's pinned post will have the link to.
This way, the fanfic post can include descriptions of all the stories!

My Fanfiction Masterpost
As mentioned in my profile's official pinned post, I write Hetalia fanfiction. I wouldn't say I have the makings of being a professional writer, but I did occasionally write devastatingly good short stories back in school. Having the characters already established makes writing fanfiction so much easier for me, I just have to plug them into situations.
My muse is 100% Canada, primarily with Madeline but Matthew works better in some universes. I ship Canada with multiple Hetalia nations, so in my work you'll find such ships as Ruscan, UkCan, GerCan, PruCan, SpaCan, CanMano, LietCan and CanLiech.
My stories can be found on both Archive Of Our Own and Fanfiction.Net, and my two Valentine ficlets are also on Tumblr. I write under the penname "missycanucks", as I was still in the NHL hockey blogging phase of my life when I created my accounts.
My stories are locked on AO3, so you have to log into your account to see anything.

Damsel Causing Distress is the WIP for 2024, it has its own permanent post that gets updated and reblogged every time a new chapter is posted. New chapters go up every Saturday!
ABSORBING THE DECK (2016)
Cardverse AU featuring CanadaxLiechtenstein and USUK. A lot of violence, most Royals get killed off. Heavily reliant on 2015 fandom tropes.
Poor and penniless on the streets, orphans Matthew and Alfred were born with imprints of future Marks on their skins. When they are discovered, the Spade Royals adopt them and prepare them for their future lives as Royals.
As their identities as future Royals could be used as dangerous leverage, the twins are kept away from the other Suits for as long as possible. Their first interactions prove quite safe, while the next proves disastrous.
The Clubs Royals also seem to be up to something suspicious, and there's an old prophecy Ace Antonio and Queen Kiku seem to know something important about.
What could this all mean for the fate of the twins and the Deck?
THE NEFARIOUS MATHILDA JONES (2017-2020)
Human AU with cops vs gangsters vs corporate elites. Multiple Canada ships, but listing them all would cause spoilers. Lots of heavier political and personal themes, so reader discretion is advised, but the story is quite the rollercoaster for those brave enough to read.
A large family corporation called Jones Conglomerates Incorporated controls the government, but the heiress is a criminal on the run. Gilbert Bielschmidt is a police officer who finds himself torn in a million directions by his promise to uphold the law, seeing that JCI makes the laws, handling the mobsters that break the laws, and attempting to hunt down the heiress and her friends before they destroy JCI.
THE ENGLISH QUIXOTE (2021)
Fairytale AU mixed with references to a regular nation AU. Intentionally plays on tropes of several classic fairy tales including Snow White, Snow Queen, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Swan Lake and Frog Prince. Key ships are Lithuaniaxfem!Canada, GermanyxBelarus, SpainxUkraine and RussiaxLiechtenstein.
Arthur went to sleep in his modern London flat, only to wake up in a magical realm far away with alternate versions of the other nations. He quickly learns that he is in the Kingdom of Ixaidel, governed by King Gilbert and Prince Ludwig.
To the west, in the kingdom of Prathage, Prince Alfred and Duke Antonio are resolving a civil war, triggered by the “Ice Princess” who cast the land in an eternal winter five years ago. To the east, Princess Natalya of Stulikya is planning a coup, hoping to reclaim her family’s crown from her wicked sister-in-law.
As the realm’s unexpected Don Quixote caricature, Arthur finds that the misdeeds must be corrected, the spells must be broken, and the kingdoms must be set right before he can finally return to his own world.
ONLY ACES REMAIN (2022-2023)
Another Cardverse AU. Mystery and drama, only one death but it's a key traumatic event. Key ships are SpainxBelarus, CanadaxLiechtenstein and SwitzerlandxHungary, but two of these characters are aromantic.
The Aces have noticed that something is very wrong.
First of all, they realize that they are missing memories from earlier in their time as Royals, including how they came to rule each kingdom with their current colleagues. They then start dreaming of working with an alternate assortment of Royals during a war between Clubs and Spades, and seeing events that feel like genuine memories.
There are also two Joker fellows hopping around in the reflections of mirrors, as well as the soul of a mysterious sorcerer from centuries ago who is stalking them.
As they work through these missing memories and strange dreams, they will recollect the many bad decisions made in the past which led to the magical clusterfuck they are now suffering through, and open wounds they did not realize they were still suffering from.
DAMSEL CAUSING DISTRESS (2024) - CURRENTLY IN PROGRESS
Another fairytale AU featuring royalty and magic, deliberately referencing the stories of Rapunzel, Little Mermaid, Hansel & Gretel, and of course all the mythology of the fae kingdoms (though several fae rules are altered for convenience). Key ships are AmericaxBelarus, North ItalyxLiechtenstein, Germanyxfem!Canada and RussiaxHungary.
Prince Alfred doesn't want to marry just any woman in order to take the crown of Aegaimore, he wants to marry for love. His soothsaying Seelie fae cousin loks into the future, and determines that Alfred's true love is locked away in a tower, and she just needs to be rescued.
As he travels across the Eldarin Sea and the Kingdom of Solyra, Alfred’s path crosses with a mermaid who leaves the sea, a young maiden who is escaping her guardian, and a pair of siblings looking for their long-lost little sister.
Meanwhile, the Unseelie fae have their plans for the humans. The Unseelie Prince is planning to marry a human princess, while the Unseelie King plots to change the barriers between the human and fae realms.
At the centre of all of this is the fate of Alfred’s true love. For being a supposed ‘damsel in distress’, she sure is causing a lot of the distress.
DISCOVERED (Valentines 2018)

An Englandxfem!Canada Valentines one-shot! Their secret love affair is exposed at a meeting by Spain, who rigs a bet to determine why Madeline has spent years rejecting everyone else's advances.

So coincidentally, I was called upstairs to have dinner, where my mom is watching American Idol, the moment the broadcast returned to the rink for overtime.
Canucks scored the OT goal within the first minute.
Ooooh, Canucks playoff overtime hockey.
It's been a while.
