[voice; english] so sleepy will do tags in the morning

[ Yes. It's that time. And probably the last post before he's back to normal. ]

ALLIED FORCES, ASSEMBLE!

Americans, Britman, Frenchman, Ruskies, Chinamen, Poles, Canadians... crap who else is allied with me. Anyone who isn't in the Axis Powers or neutral (which is just another word for pansies)! I've come to a disturbing conclusion:

There are a whole bunch of Japanese people here. Which is basically my problem, and China's since I have to rescue him from Japan's shenanigans. Due to Australia's absence though, you guys have to be my back-up!

Don't worry though, I haven't forgotten about Germany. I've got my eyes and guns trained on him too. He'll surrender soon enough! In the mean time, I'm gonna go spy on the Japanese. I'll disguise myself as a German. No one will recognize me. Not even you guys. But I'll give y'all a secret signal that says I'm me! Don't worry, I won't make the same mistake again.

...For the record, that salute thing he does is not an invitation for a hi-five.

Wish me luck!

[ Now he's off to go stare at people with a pair of binoculars with his hair slicked back and dressed in green. He is not a subtle spy. If you speak Japanese, Italian, or German, be warned. He is stalking you. And I will totes do stalking things once I've slept. ]

Wait... how does that even work? I mean, wouldn't you have to win it back in your time? Instead of on an alien planet?

[I'm betting on no fun war movies, but I bet he found some horribly boring and artsy movie at least once.

...And this conversation is making me want to hunt down some of the sillier war movies and rewatch them. Operation Petticoat. 1941. Papa Goose. idk.

...That doesn't make any sense.

[WW2 comedies, which are kind of awesome in their own way.



...There's something about a pink submarine. And the way both sides assumed it was a plot from the other side.

Papa Goose is another Cary Grant war film, only this time he's an antisocial plane spotter out an island in the pacific. Naturally a group of students from a girl's school and their chaperone get stranded on the island with him, why I can't remember. There is bonding and character development and air raids.

...1941 just defies description. There are dance contests and soldiers from secret japanese subs sneaking onto the west coast disguised as christmas trees and out of control ferris wheels...

But that doesn't make any sense! Sure, if they were supervillains! But they're other countries! Which are technically on another planet! None of the ones I met are even from the same time period as you.

What exactly is fighting a war here going to accomplish?

[YES. You have to love a movie that actually includes a scene where an island refugee gives birth while on a submarine hiding from a japanese submarine.... and the person hearing the baby's cries on the sonar thinks its a new weapon.

1941 is hilariously bad. Kind of like 'The Russians are coming the russians are coming, but for the west coast. I mean, you have a hopelessly lost japanese submarine that decides to try and blow up Hollywood while they're that close to the west coast. AND THEY CAN'T FIND IT.

Ha! While you're at it you have to watch 'Those Magnificent Men and their Flying Machines'. Its a race movie set in 1910... and every single character is a national stereotype that matches up far too closely with hetalia characters. Its amazing.
