British people are traditionally seen as reserved and easily confounded by such things as: screaming happy emojis and projectile hugs.  

This was not always the case... In medieval times many visiting diplomats noted British people were disturbingly affectionate and quick to anger...

However... the French revolution and Napoleonic wars started something of trend towards the opposite. We all got a bit worried that embracing our passions would somehow lead to the abolition of the status quo, the downfall of monarchies... the interruption of vital tea and biscuit supplies...  income tax... frightening new systems of measurement that included standardized millionths...

A prime example of this reserved attitude was Lord Uxbridge losing his leg to enemy fire at the battle of Waterloo... at which he exclaimed: "By God, sir, I've lost my leg!"

To which the duke of Wellington replied: "By God, sir, so you have!"

So you see... we try not to get too excited... and being frightened of fast moving and effusive emojis is the price we pay for our continued survival in a confusing and often perplexing world

Hehe.. these are cool. I was blown away by Hetalia the day my pal sent me a link. Pure joy for history nerd like me

I'm from Fife, east coast of Scotland... (where we are even more traditionally reserved and grumpy )

But I live in Glasgow in the west now.

Do you know of any tutorials regards making sprites you would recommend?

Many deaths could've been avoided. I should've been more specific: Tell me a story about when you loved someone and didn't hurt them.
