I love both characters, but I don't like them as a couple.

But that picture in your post IS adorable! I'd like to see them as friendly rivals or something of the sort. They're both too cute to resist!

This.

Couldn't the EXACT SAME THING be said about virtually ALL the pairings in this fandom? Why hate on this one in particular, especially since you've admitted you enjoy some of the fanworks?

[identity profile] hikari87.livejournal.com 2011-04-09 08:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Speaking as a sane fan who likes the pairing

[identity profile] micromyni.livejournal.com 2011-04-09 08:14 pm (UTC)(link)
You like what you like, but where'd you get that adorable pic?

(Anonymous) 2011-04-09 09:51 pm (UTC)(link)
It's actually one of Himaruya's, that he did as a request during the April Fool's Event (here, towards the bottom): http://www.horror-vacui.net/hetarchive/scanlation/shorts/2011april1/index.php?page1

It's adorable! Also, I agree. Like what you like. I really don't see the deal with all the wank, lately - there are perfectly sane RussAme fans (I like to think I'm pretty level-headed), hahah!

I just gotta say, what does having canon basis make any pairing in Hetalia bad/good?

+1

[identity profile] alliterations.livejournal.com 2011-04-09 09:17 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't get it. That and "my pairing has more history than yours" Good for you, do you want a medal?

I base my shipping preferences on how well I think the characters' personalities and dynamics work

Re: +1

Huh. I don't get how a pairing in Hetalia-verse can be terrible because it has no canon basis. I mean. You can kick out about 98% of all ships with this criterion.

PLUS. Horrible fics? "Strange fans"? Overrated? OOC? If you didn't put in the pic it could have been USUK, FrUK, RuCho... well, to make it short: I don't get why this should be a bad ship.

[identity profile] sliefoxx.livejournal.com 2011-04-09 09:32 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't like this pairing, but I think the Cold War is a pretty good reason.

*LE SHRUG*

+1

[identity profile] flyingfortress.livejournal.com 2011-04-09 11:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Exactly. I'd say that 40 years of the Cold War, space race and all that jazz constitutes as some historic basis, even if the US and the USSR were rivals at the time.

[identity profile] transemacabre.livejournal.com 2011-04-09 09:48 pm (UTC)(link)
But what are your thoughts on yaoi?!

I need to know. I'm at 50% and I'm not sure I can hold out much longer. Tell me how you REALLY feel!

(Anonymous) 2011-04-09 10:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Ha, like the file name.

There's nothing wrong with this pairing, they're as legitimate as any other. If you relax about this, you might enjoy the fandom more (I don't know how much this actually bothers you though).

While we're here and this is sort of relevant, could we have a Russia/America rec thread? You know, just to see if most of the fics are terrible like the secret says.

(Anonymous) 2011-04-09 11:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Anon's up for that challenge, and I bring four that don't come up very often. :)
Mostly angst since that's my thing

"Cyclic" http://qualapec.livejournal.com/35362.html

"Baby don't stop for me" http://community.livejournal.com/russiamerica/40902.html

Untitled? http://community.livejournal.com/russiamerica/43913.html

"Unwise Invitation" http://community.livejournal.com/hetalia/1612268.html

My personal favorite. I still read it even though I left the fandom long ago

I don't even read hetalia, but already hate the fandom.

Regardless of your feelings about the pairing, I find it quite amusing that you comment it has "barely any canon basis" when you used one of those few canon drawings for your secret.

/pointless comment

[identity profile] ivavros.livejournal.com 2011-04-10 04:05 am (UTC)(link)
So because you don't like the pairing and there's a few shitty things about it, you think all the shippers/etc are bad or just crappy?

I'd say it's got some cannon basis; at least for some sort of love-hate dynamic. Cold War, etc, and now they're actually getting along [START, etc] so I think it could count for at least some kind of acquaintance or even a friendship, if nothing else.

But you said you enjoy them anyway; simply because of the kinks? It feels like a slight contradiction, imo.

[identity profile] ariseishirou.livejournal.com 2011-04-10 05:29 am (UTC)(link)
I've never read the comic, but isn't that Russia and America? No interactions? Whaaaaaaa? That's most of modern history, and a hell of a lot of Hetalia-era WWII, too.

[identity profile] magichobohat.livejournal.com 2011-04-14 08:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Pffft, I don't even really like RusAme and I can see that it does have canon credibility. Plus, their personalities work quite well together, being rivals and all...
Plus, since there is no canon pairings in Hetalia, any pairing can be shipped. Heck, I read a really good Russia/Liechtenstin fic. They haven't even met in canon (I think).

Maybe that's just me >.
