Subject: Hmmm, the Despatch.

I've been treating the Despatch as a very meta area.
Sometimes the self-inserts are just Sues, and we don't hear about whether or not any of them are actually a representation of a real person.
One of the stories I have worked on for awhile is a lot less creepy if she is considered to be just a shell.
More specifically, we started an MST of a Harry Potter/Hetalia crossover badfic. Behold!
And for the morbidly curious, the fic sans our characters snarking over it is right here.
Questions? Comments? Suggestions for which Hetalia character should help us riff this next? (I'll run all your suggestions by Voyd to see what he knows about the characters.)
Dahlia is so cute. I had a little bit of trouble figuring out who Miki is.
You do a pretty decent job of describing the two canons for those who don't know.
It's entertaining, especially when they start singing the Lego song.
Sorry, not a good review.
Except, are you aware that Miguel is TimeJumper's IRL friend? https://www.fanfiction.net/r/894267/
This is a fictionalized version of Miguel, so I'm not committing libel. Sort of like how Ami's a self-insert of me, but she's not literally me.
Also, Miki used to be a mini-Chimera Anima based on Mint's dog, but a particularly bad sentence in his homefic ended up having him talk. I figured a talking dog could have a lot of potential for comedy and/or cuteness. :)

So this is basically just a series of reactions I had while reading:
I like the interruption of the rap!
...PRUSSIA. You should bring in Prussia to spork. I didn't get that far in the show, but I saw him used for sporking once, and it was amazing.
...oh, good, Prussia is actually in the fic. That would make his potential sporking presence better and, uh, sense-having. Wait, which of the kids is he essentially turning into? He wouldn't make sense with any of them, except maybe a teenaged Marauder or the Weasley twins, but--oh dear. This should be... interesting.
...Malfoy. Prussia is Malfoy. What.
Go Ron go! In fact, please keep talking. For the entire fic. That would be lovely.
...Hungary, dear... Hermione does not like flying.
Yeah, I give up. There's no sense in this fic except for Ron and, sometimes, Ginny. I like "you uncultured ferret" from Ami in the sporking, though.
Ooh, you've brought England in! From the OFU, no less!
Well, that was fun. And 'Monstery Science Theater' was well-placed.
Overall, pretty fun. I'd love to see...well, just about any of the countries come in to spork. Maybe people from HP or unrelated (but similarly themed?) canons, too, if that's an option. Also, might as well third that suggestion of that one country with the polar bear...
Good job!

Without a doubt, that one character whose name I always forget. They live right above America... Anyone know who I'm thinking of? I truly have forgotten.
I've seen them a few times (looks like a dude but I can't be sure without chancing that I'm wrong), but I can't remember their name! They had a swirly-looking curl, glasses, a fuzzy coat, and a pet polar bear.
Maybe we should go into Hetalia canon and ask the other countries who we're looking for?

Maybe. I've forgotten. But the polar bears are really cute, ne?
:)
More seriously, I'm about to check out the MST itself. I'll try to leave a comment for the authors soon!
