#midnight in Italy

[temtamtom]

Christmas celebrations with the Itabros means:

A big meal on the 24th (mostly cooked by Romano)

Another big meal on the 25th (mostly cooked by Feliciano)

A smaller meal on the 26th (for Santo Stefano) with leftovers from the previous two days.

And of course lots and lots of alcohol and sweets ❤️

#hws italy #hws romano #aph romano #aph italy #hetalia headcanons #happy holidays #and merry christmas to those who celebrate it in december! #in the north it's more common to have a big dinner on the 25th and from what I heard in the south it's more on the 24th #a recent discovery for me SBFJRBF iykyk #the brothers also also go to midnight mass ofc #temmie thoughts

Various games Himaruya has worked on: a small compilation

(Warning: 3/4 of them are horror games)

With my newest hyperfixation now being visual novels, I've recently turned my attention to some of the visual novel-style games Hima has made in the past. There's a few super short personal project ones like Noto-sama and Cleaning Prussia which he made in pre-anime adaptation times, but I just want to share the more notable/interesting ones I know about.

Gakuen Hetalia (2011-2012)

You've probably heard of this one. Given that it was released in the early seasons of the anime adaptation, it has that art style, for better or for worse. I honestly thought the existence of this game was a joke when I first heard of it but no it's a real game, developed by the one and only Otomate and released for the DS and PSP. It's an otome game with Seychelles as the protagonist, and is fully voiced. From what I've heard about this game, there's not much romance and has mostly platonic interactions. Also Gakuen AU.

Since this is pretty much a game adaptation of the anime, this is probably the one that Hima least had a hand in making, as compared to the ones I'm about to talk about. Still a neat game in its own right.

The Hetalian Horror Show (2015)

Another one you might have heard of if you browse Hetarchive, which has a partial translation for this game. This one's a fairly short free game set in the Gakuen AU (again) with Bulgaria as the protagonist. It's basically about a couple of the nations gathering to tell 'scary' stories (whether they're actually scary varies). Features highlights such as:

Robul moment

America casually revealing Classified Government Secrets

Bear Grylls

Iggy bullying

Low-key nsfw illustration of Bul butt-naked and tied up

And a twist ending you will not believe! (not clickbait)

Like the other free games he's made, Hetahorror is completely made by Hima (even the background images were taken by him). You can download the game here from his blog. And Hetarchive's partial translation is here.

Now here are the non-Hetalia ones (which I think are a little more interesting)

Apathy Midnight Collection: Volume 1 (2007)

See those characters in the top right? That's Hima's art. Yeah. This game is a horror anthology game released all the way back in 2007, with three different stories and each having different writers and artists. The first two stories are the longest (apparently they have over a hundred different endings combined), and if you look around I think you can find some posts about them, they're quite interesting. The one Hima did the illustrations (and direction) for is the final story, Hashira no Kizu (or Scratches on the Pillar), which is the one that I heard leans the hardest into the horror atmosphere, and is quite different overall from the other two stories.

If you're curious about this game, you can purchase it here on BOOTH, and you can find an English fan translation here.

By the way, this game is a retelling of sorts of a much older game (from the 90s!) called Gakkou de Atta Kowai Hanashi (Scary Stories at School). Which leads me to this game...

Inaka no Gakkou de Atta Kowai Hanashi (2014-2016)

This is a full-length visual novel made by Hima's doujin group Shimaoka Kenkou Land, and it's a homage to the aforementioned Gakkou de Atta Kowai Hanashi. It's pretty similar in setting to Hetahorror (in fact that game was probably inspired by that too), with students coming together to share their horror stories. It's very atmospheric, with a lot of ambient noises and background images which really drive home the 'inaka/countryside' part of the story. Hetahorror had shades of this too, so consider this a 'deluxe' version lol. Except unlike the Hetalia one I feel this game is actually pretty scary ngl...there's a lot of comedic moments, but also just as many genuinely gruesome scenes (I'm not kidding, some of the images are quite violent)

I only played the demo (which can be downloaded from the same page as the Hetalia game), and man the stories really range from 'I saw this lady walking her dog and holding a cute plush toy from afar so I asked if I could take a picture of it, but it turned out it wasn't a plush toy, it was a bag for dog droppings' to 'my friend and his entire family were mauled to death and it wasn't an animal that did it'.

The full game apparently has voice acting too, but this was a super-duper limited release (like it was sold in Animate stores for less than a year back in 2016) and I really liked the demo so I'm just considering getting it second-hand at this point. It's so obscure I can't find much info on the game in Japanese, much less English...

Just to show how atmospheric it felt, I have here a recording of part of the game which I can't stop replaying (sorry for no audio)

Anyway looking at the games he made really makes me wish he had the time to make one nowadays....he could probably make an amazing official Hetaoni horror game and I would pay real-life money to play it. This has been a PSA.

I kinda got it right? I really like Midnights but it’s not on the list made by Spotify - probably cause it hasn’t been out for long

Evermore at n*2 is a crime tho

I truly need north americans to realize their 5-7pm dinner times are not universal

#so many fics #just so many #failing to grasp it #its such a petty annoyance I'm aware but it irrevocably takes me out of the story #''he comes at five for dinner'' 5pm?? IN FRANCE?? #''theres a lot of time to cover between dinner and Christmas midnight mass'' not in fucking Italy amici #they probably have to scramble to dinner to make it on time #mmine #and i know other places also have dinner that early #mostly Anglo Saxons #but i feel like they're more aware than NA

Italy has found the man she wants to spend the rest of her life with. He has a girlfriend, but when has that ever stopped any of my sims? Karl Simon is HOT (after a small make-over).

#It's somewhat of a shame that he has a regular skin color considering all the fun skin colors Midnight Hollow has #But there'll be plenty of generations left for that #Italy needs Karl in her life #ts3 #ts3 simblr #simblr #sims 3 #sims #sims 3 challenge #ts3 challenge #ts3 gameplay #sims 3 gameplay #sims 3 legacy

A message from Sonic.exe about me, my blog, and mostly himself because hes like that

Listen, between cringelords who took my "i am god" joke i did way back when way too seriously, people who draw me as some sort of breeding stud, and whatever the hell is that blue-haired midget's deal...

I mean, this kid gave me a personalized dragunov that shoots customized .50 rounds, i have fellow creepypastas as comrades, and one of us is one of The Brain Council- first member, even! So let me give yall a warning: i give less than an ounce of half a fuck of what the hell is your deal here, but be warned that HE is not joking with his power level... you should see what he did to the joker of his own DC-Marvel earth... poor guy, not even psychos like him deserve that...

#sonic.exe #unreality #welcome to the multiverse #his line may be “I AM GOD” #but hes just a creepypasta from the golden age of the internet #that survived the vietnam known as 2012/2017 italy with his fellow creepypastas #hes just a lil guy with a strange moral compass #and NOT the insane crackpiss the games portray him as #pm seymour #also the art is shit but midnight and shitty phone app = instant meme
