"England is NOT a blushing little tsundere"

Crap! Quick, tell that to Himaruya, he's obviously doing his own character wrong!

It's kind of funny when people complain about canon not respecting their fantasies... Face it: he's tsundere, he tends to blush a lot - and canon so far has never mentioned "his sense of pride" (aside of his temper), and "the fading glory of his golden age" (lol?). He, however, has a tendency to be rather desperate as far as America is involved. ("Um, i-if you're so desperate for friends then I'll be your friend" "Call me like you used to do" "AMERICA YOU IDIOT~" etc etc...)

A person can be an ex-pirate and *GASP!* be lovestruck about someone. I know, I know, it's difficult to comprehend.

I like lovestruck England. I mean yeah, it can be taken over the top, but I think it's adorable. And it doesn't make him a weaker person at all. Being in love, even really, really in love, does not make him less strong and 'badass.'

[identity profile] kuromitsu.livejournal.com 2011-05-04 02:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, exactly. One of the things I like about England is how he has a temper and a stubborn and rough personality, and can still be awkward and blushy and kinda weepy and whatnot. And if he can manage this "duality" (though I'll never understand how these traits are supposed to be contradictory...) I think he can manage being lovestruck and everything and still be a rough and stubborn person.

and canon so far has never mentioned "his sense of pride"

Actually, England does brag a lot, like in that strip where he invented a way to hard boil an egg/make tap beer, or that episode where he cracked the Axis code and bragged about to the rest of the Allies, or that time he gave America marmite and proceeded to boast about how awesome he was for making it.

Nowhere near the level of Prussia or America, but yeah, England's a pretty prideful guy.

[identity profile] kuromitsu.livejournal.com 2011-05-04 03:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, forgot about the inventions, though I'd say that's more like ego than actual pride... I mean, the part where he was going around with a bunch of flowers trying to make friends and being utterly pathetic was not something that underscored his immense pride.

[identity profile] fivedayslater.livejournal.com 2011-05-04 03:50 pm (UTC)(link)
And when he got rejected, he brushed it off by saying that they're not important and he's better off alone anyway. It is very tsundere, but it does sound a bit like pride to me.

[identity profile] kuromitsu.livejournal.com 2011-05-04 03:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Didn't he slink away and go back drunk?

[identity profile] fivedayslater.livejournal.com 2011-05-04 06:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Nope.

He acts like a complete tsundere, but there's no slinking away, just him saying that he likes being alone.

[identity profile] kuromitsu.livejournal.com 2011-05-04 11:04 pm (UTC)(link)
I mixed it up with another similar story - the one where Poland, Greece et al try to get rid of him. So he slinks away and comes back drunk off his ass.

In any case, even if he does have an ego and has an amount of pride, I think we can agree that being proud and unshakeable and whatnot is not exactly his usual modus operandi when dealing with America.
