Hetaween 2011/Sandbox

The currently ongoing 2011 Halloween event for Hetalia. It's Halloween in the Hetaliaverse, and America is having a costume party! Japan is worried about the food coloring (as usual) but America assures him that they stopped using actual blood and gore since Lithuania had such a hard time cleaning up last year. We then see all the nations arriving in their respective costumes.


 * Badass: gladiator!Germany, hanger!Belarus, pirate!Denmark, hunter!Spain and
 * Badass Grandma: Does count?
 * Brick Joke: Well obviously, the finale will be the reveal of wasabi!Russia and . Alternatively, Canada is dressed as a ghost and was there all along.
 * Continuity Nod: From the Fandom, who frequently hold in turkeys and flip icons in reference to last year's Bloodbath.
 * Within the Hetaverse itself, England saying America won against him this year refers to this strip.
 * Costume Porn: DUH. Sherlock!England, Francer Pan, Hook!Seychelles, Tinkerbell!Monaco, Toy Story!Micronations, pirate!Nordics and Wonderland!Soviets to name a few.
 * Costume Test Montage: Italy tries out a variety of different costumes, but none suit him due to lack of muscles. He finally settles on dressing as a prisoner
 * Crack Pairing: Romania/Japan and Denarus
 * Denmark/Belarus already has a dA group dedicated to them.
 * Crowning Moment of Heartwarming: This will be sent to Hima-sensei after the event ends, so hurry up and add a marker to it if you haven't already!
 * This post and many others who feel the same way or something similar but haven't said anything or have but whose posts were not linked.
 * The fandom has joined every day during the event to dance to this playlist (updated daily), so that it's like we are all partying together, no matter what country we're from or what time zone we're in or anything.
 * Fan Service: Well, this is Hetalia, so...
 * Hot-Blooded: Belarus when it comes to her brother's costume, which leads to:
 * Improbable Weapon User when she throws a hanger at Denmark for daring to say that he'll win the costume contest.
 * It Was with You All Along / Ass Pull: England didn't know about the costume contest because America put the notice for it behind his ear.
 * Notice This: England found a piece of paper. Will probably turn into a Chekhov's Gun if we see what it says or What Happened to the Mouse? if we never do.
 * Perma-Stubble: France shaves his off and rubs his face against England's.
 * Product Placement: Belgium as Red Riding Hood mentions that a video game based on one of her horror stories called The Path is on sale. Also, Iggy made a sarcastic comment on America's twitter. Also, the prize for the costume contest that England doesn't know about is Uncharted 3.
 * Real Song Theme Tune: Thanks to a certain LJ user people can now sing hetalia-lized versions of popular songs as they wait for updates.
 * The Smart Guy: the infamous Math-sama and the Pirate!Denmark that resides as the thread's Time Master.
 * Wild Mass Guessing: No party would be complete without a slow dance and fans have decided that the nations will dance to "Forever Young".
 * Hima somehow spies on us (probably using captcha) because he knows what we want to see. Grandmano? Check. Soviets vs Nordics? Check. ? Check.
