had no idea how it happened. The one thing that changed my life and I have no idea how it happened. It tears logic in half, for God's sake! But, let me tell you how it started.
It was January 2nd 2017 around 3 pm. My parents were at work and I was off of school. Was I bored? Yes. Extremely. All my friends were on some cool vacation or they were out skiing or doing something in the snow. I hate snow, I hate winter and I hate the cold, so I didn't expect myself to go outside. My television was on channel 12, our local news station for the state of New Jersey. It's only on Cable by the way, but that's beside the point. I noticed that the episode wasn't up yet. Oh, I'm ahead of myself aren't I? Whoops.
I'm a Hetalian, so hard to come by these days, I know. But, not only am I a Hetalian but I am also the self-proclaimed number one Hetalia Fangirl! I watch it a lot, probably more than I should. My main favorites are China, America, France, Romano, Austria, Canada, England, Italy, Germany, Spain, Japan, and my absolute favorite, Italy.
He was the first one I ever watched and it's all thanks to my friend. She would talk about Hetalia nonstop at school and I finally got the nerve to search it up. At first, I thought he was a total loser but as I looked into it more, he was a really amazing guy. At school, I would listen closely to what Skylar would have to say and look like I totally didn't care but inside, I really did. Something awoke in me that day, April 23rd 2013… I became a Fan myself. Keeping the secret to my friends at school and mostly Skylar. If she ever found out… Let's just say, there would be a fight to the death.
Back to where I was, I noticed that the new episode of Hetalia wasn't up yet. It was supposed to be on at 12:30 pm EST. But, it was about 12:40 pm. I figured rendering and editing must take a lot of work so, I cut Hidekazu Himaruya some slack. He deserves it with all the hard work he does and all.
Then it was around, 1:20 pm EST. There was no notice from Hidekazu saying something about a wait. Now, here's the catch. On twitter, I only follow him and a few RPers, and there were concerned tweets from a few of them too. I checked my Internet twice and nothing. At 2:32 pm EST, I gave up. In rage, I pushed my chair away from my desk and sighed. I was really excited too… So, I laid on my bed and started to fall asleep, that is until I heard it.
"…It seems that Hetalia may be ending, my friend. Himaruya has said that the Characters have literally disappeared. We think it's just a metaphor…"
For the first time in years, I cried. I fell into my bed and cried into my pillow. Within minutes, it was soaked but no way was I stopping. My heart felt like it was ripping out of my chest, my lungs felt like they were going to burst. Of course, my face was red from all the emotions. Confusion, Anger, Sadness and many more that I can't name today. The crying continued, until… they took me as well.
