*5th Anniversary of this HetaOni Fic! 

I've prepared this short video just for you guys! :') It's the raw video. I was supposed to edit this, but I decided to just show you guys my pure awkwardness ehe. 

Thank you. From the very bottom of my heart, I would like to thank all of you for supporting this fanfic for the past 5 years. Thank you for the 450,000+ reads (road to 500K!). Thank you for all your votes. Thank you for all your comments. Thank you for all your favourites (if deviantart). Thank you for all your personal messages and wall posts. Thank you. Thank you. THANK YOU. 

You guys mean so much to me. This little family that we have here, I wouldn't trade it for the world. You guys have been my strength. You guys have been my inspiration. You all continue to be. During the worst of times, and the best of times, you've been with me. Those times I was struggling during college. Those times I finally found my way and shifted courses. Those times I was at my happiest. That time I graduated. The highs and lows. You were there. 

I remember those days when I was struggling during my exams in college, and I would find strength in your comments and messages. I took screenshots of them and read them before I took those exams. I passed them all. I...I was really thankful that even if we didn't personally know each other, even if we were on different sides of the screen, I was shown kindness. I will always be grateful for this. 

Here I am now, 5 years later. We've come a long way. We're at Chapter 20 now, can you believe it? Whenever I look back to my first few chapters, I can't help but cringe. And you know what? That's alright. That means that over the course of the years, I've grown. Back in 2014, I thought my first few chapters were the peak of my writing potential (HAHA!), but as years have gone, I realize that there is so much more to learn. Even up until now, I still have a lot to improve on. That's how life works. We keep moving forward. We keep growing. We fall sometimes, but we always get up...because...things won't stop just for you. The whole world won't. Neither will time. ...Right? ;') 

From 2014 to 2019 me..to you, 

Thank you.

*Chapter 20 (Part 2) Discussion

How did you feel about the latest chapter part? 

As you may notice, the latest update had three parts for three different people: Flavio, Kuro, and Allen. 

>>Flavio

Flavio Vargas is usually depicted as the flashy, flamboyant, and fabulous..right? I mean, he is, right? But...is that all there is to him? Of course not. Chapter 20 will actually tackle the 2P!s past, basically their First Player's breaking point and how they began or was dealt with when they were "created". It's always a different case for each one of them. 

Remember, in my story, Second Players were brought by "wars". This was already explained that beyond the actual bloodshed, chaos, and insanity that went on, not all of these wars happened on the battlefield. 

Sometimes it happens within themselves. 

Take Flavio here, who was brought over the internal struggle and misery that Romano went through as he felt insufficient and lacked the love and recognition that he had always longed for. He, too, went through so many hardships. He shed tears night after night. He had to live with this heavy heart his whole life without even the chance to redeem himself because---well, he was created because of negative feelings and unstable emotional handling. 

But, you know what? 

Flavio can take care of this himself. 

Different people deal with grief in different ways. Some may need a shoulder to cry on, some may need someone to tell them "it will be alright"...but some...some just need time for themselves. 

And that's okay. 

Some people don't need anyone to just barge in their episode and feed them with words they want to hear. 

They just need time to think. Time to heal. 

Sometimes, people just need some space, some self-comfort. 

And if you want to support them in the background, that's okay. 

It's okay. 

Flavio just cried it out as Reader sat beside him. And that's okay. There's no shame in a man crying out, venting out, and showing emotion, either. It's okay. 

Wounds heal over time. They won't just heal after a cry. I mean, you'll feel better after a good cry, but we all know it won't all be okay overnight. It may take days, weeks, months, years...it may take decades for all we know... but, hey, guess what? It's okay. 

There's no race when it comes to feeling better about yourself. 

>>Kuro

Kuro, after getting separated from Flavio after their quarrel, finds himself questioning their existence once more. He contemplates on how Reader has helped them by believing in them...but Kuro knows that it won't be enough to solve all their problems. 

And he hears from someone that he was catching on to the key.

Have any idea what it could be? 

Another issue arises when that unknown person offers Kuro a proposition: Give up Reader to be set everyone else free. Everyone. Everyone except Reader will be set free. 

At that, in his mind, Kuro apologized. "I'm sorry, (Name)." 

>>Allen

Does anyone even recall Chapter 17 1/2 (Part 1)? 

What could happen if you live your happiest when you dream?

*Future Chapters

Okay, I did not lie when I said "we're at the ending chapters" during the video. Back in 2014, this story was drafted to have only 25 chapters. So far, we're on track...so...we're almost there. :")

This fic is based off HetaOni, an RPG by Tomoyoshi. As this fic was based off a game, I wrote it in a sense of it actually being one. That's why you would see that there are options for different paths. Honestly, I wish I could actually convert this fic into a game, because I feel like it would be a lot easier to go through the story if it were. xD 

Most of the chapters to come, would take on the different arcs for each character. They each have their own story to tell. First Players. Second Players. Just as we all do. 

=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=

*Help! HetaOni Projects

I've always, always, always, ALWAYYSS wanted to make a project based on this HetaOni fic. So far, I have three ideas: Playable RPG, HetaOni Audiobook, and RPG Recording.

1.) Playable RPG - Oh boi, this sounds like a dream. It will take a lot of time and dedication to make this one. We will need people who can help make RPG Maker projects, custom sprites, facesets, CG art, and a whole lot more. If any of you are interested in helping make this dream, "HetaOni (Hetalia x Player x 2P!Hetalia)",  into a reality, comment here or send me a message! <3 

2.) HetaOni Audiobook - I tried recording the first few chapters of this HetaOni book...and my throat kinda gave up a few days later. I realize that I don't have to do this alone. What do you guys think of a HetaOni Audiobook? :> You can audition to voice your favorite nation dork and or their alternatively colored counterparts. <3 Or, you can also submit art illustrations of scenes from the fic! :> Comment here or send me a message if you want to help me make this audiobook. <3

3.) RPG Recording - This could actually be a mix of the first two projects. This project actually involves making the RPG, recording its gameplay, and uploading the videos on YouTube. :> We can have this posted with with voices, as well, like the audiobook. :> Let me know which idea you like best by commenting or sending me a message! <3 

=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=

*Fanart

I've received several fanarts over the years, I'm really happy that you guys made an effort to make these wonderful drawings. :') I'll post this on my Facebook page, as well, "Flamehazelollipop" (at facebook.com/flamehazelollipop). :> Thank you so much! You can send your fanart through my Facebook page, or message me here on Wattpad! <3
