Notice about Family Ties

[hellzabeth]

It's been brought to my attention that a lot of people think Canada is dead.

"Well no shit" say my readers. "You blew him up."

That's not what I mean. I mean people think he's chosen to go on into the afterlife because of this line:

“Kids, eh?”

“Tell me about it, aru.”

I want to straighten out, before the next chapter (as I was going to post it tonight but didn't get the time) that this is not Canada talking. It's mama!Britannica. Canadians aren't the only people who sometimes end their sentences in "eh?" orz;;;;;;

I should have noticed this thing sooner. This is what I get for not having a beta.

So I've edited the line to have "huh?" on the end. Hope this unconfuses some people, you may now return to your regularly scheduled theorising on who's in Prussia's room (as though you haven't guessed already). I'll also be including this explaination in the next chapter, for those who've missed it. I fail at writing orz

Of course the Americans can't realize that it's just them who don't use the "eh?" Come on, why would Canada call Wales a kid?

Huh. I kinda figured it was Mama Britannica from the context. But thanks for clearing it up!:D Does this mean we can see ghost!Canada?

From context, only mama!Britannica would have made the dialogue sensible to me. Being Canadian myself though, I could see where that mistake might have arisen; then again, reserving 'eh' exclusively for Canada seems kinda extreme to me. On the flip side, this is Hetalia so all the stereotypes would be exaggerated to its finest..
...Ignore my rambling; can't wait to see everyone next chapter! ^^

Though, it would be interesting to delve into why Canada would choose to stay dead if that really were the case *shot*

I know I shouldn't have made that assumption. I'm not Canadian, and even I say "eh" from time to time. *fails at reading comprehension* Don't hit me! x.x

...It didn't even cross my mind that that might have been Canada. Why the hell would he have been getting all philosophical with China anyway fff.

But then it's possible I think about the League of Dead Empires way too much and Canada doesn't qualify. /shot XD

I thought Canada chose to remain dead because his land had been absorbed by Quebec and America and so on. XD Prussia said England would have gotten what was left of Wales, if he chose to go on.

Oh, phew, I was right to assume it was Ierna then xD

...Canada never even crossed my mind during that scene. *feels like a bad person now*

... now I know why people kept saying Canada was dead. I read it as Mama Britannica talking. xD
