Oh that is good!
Yeah, dreamwidth is fine with me. =)

What pairings do you like within the Hetalia nordics and company? (I know this is a cliche question. XD)

From:

yuuago

That's good!

Ahhh it's a cliche question but it's a good one. xD I like a lot of Nordic pairings... My biggest favourite Nordic pairing is Denmark/Norway. It's the one that I always return to, and I think about it a lot even though I don't write stories with them very often. The historical comics that Himaruya drew of them made me feel so happy because the way they act toward each other was exactly the way I had always hoped for it to be.

But like I said, I like a lot more pairings... Norway is my favourite, so I like pairing him up the most. Like with Sweden or with Iceland. And also outside the Nordics, like England or Netherlands or Germany.

Though there are pairings I like not involving Norway too. I like Denmark/Sweden - though mostly in modern day, because the current relations between the real countries are so good. I like the story of "years of conflict ending in peace, and eventually affection" kind of thing. Oh and I also like Denmark/Netherlands too, I think it's a really nice relationship because historically they have been very friendly. And Denmark/Germany is fun too, I love how in the comics/illustrations Denmark seems to always be trying to get Germany's attention when he's around him. :D

What about you, though? What do you like?

From:

Thanks!

Finland dressing up as Snufkin is great although who is the person by him that is wearing the Moomin/ Snork (?) costume. I want to bet it is Sweden but it is likely some hapless Finn. XD

Ooh I like Denmark/Norway and I think the canon comics (especially the one with the war between Denmark and Sweden) are nice. I just remember how Denmark actually hold off on raising taxes because he sincerely thought that Norway did not deserve it due to seeing his house.

I like Sweden/Norway a lot too for historical reasons. And I agree with you about Denmark/Sweden being great in modern day. : )

I like Denmark/Iceland at the moment, I am not sure why but I think it's cute in their own way and historical reasons.

Denmark/Netherlands I am bit on the fence about but I did not know that they had good historical ties so I might try looking for fanworks of them. My friend drew a cute picture of Netherlands/nyo!Denmark... : )

And I noticed how much Denmark like Germany in the comics as well because he wanted to build a bridge between them (physical or not we will never know)

I like Sweden/Iceland, Estonia/Finland, Estonia/Sweden (especially since I read about historical relations between them).. you might notice that I have not really added Sweden/Finland. I do like their relationships but it's a very minor ship of mine.

I should add other hetalia ships but that would be going off topic and I did not just realize that I ship more than I thought. Netherlands/Japan and Turkey/Hungary are two otps in Hetalia. I do not have a Nordic otp yet because there are too many pairings that i like.

Part of what I like about Sweden/Norway is historical, but part of it is also modern... The countries seem to love playfully making jokes about each other, and it's the kind of relationship that would be really cute with the characters. It's too bad they don't have much direct canon interactin.

Ahhh Denmark/Iceland is a nice pairing. I'm trying to write something with them now, but I'm still not sure how I want to portray their relationship. Could you tell me more about how you like to see them?

As for Denmark/Netherlands - their historical relations were pretty good, though it shows through in some events more than others. My favourite historical event with them is the Battle of the Sound; Netherlands and Denmark were allies, so after Sweden occupied much of Denmark's coast and Copenhagen was under siege, Netherlands intervened to save Denmark and chase the Swedes back to Scania (well, that's a very simplified version of the story). Of course, Netherlands was mainly acting for its own interest - Sweden occupying Denmark was inconvenient for business - but it makes for a nice story. :D

For Germany and Denmark - I think there are plans to build a tunnel between the real countries, so that's probably what the comic was about. I find it really nice that Denmark wants to be his friend, though. Since some of their history is so unpleasant, it would be easy for Denmark to dislike him, but... his enthusiasm about Germany makes it clear that Denmark is willing to put the past behind him, and I think that's really nice.

Ahhh Sweden/Iceland!! That's a pairing that I like but usually don't mention because so few people like it, I'm so glad to hear that you enjoy it. :D Some day I want to write something about them, but I don't have any ideas right now.

(I'm not very into Sweden/Finland, myself. It's okay but I prefer friendship interaction with them, I think)

From:

soseki

Yeah my Swedish friend makes jokes about Norway and Denmark but I think it's actually adorable.

Yeah Germany and Denmark does have some rather unpleasant part... but I think I like Denmark more because he does not hold grudges that easily.

I think the way I see Denmark and Iceland is that Denmark cares a lot about Iceland and from I have seen of their relationship in canon, he feel regret for spending enough time with Iceland and I like how he goes out of his way to show that to Iceland even though Iceland is like "I'm totally fine!" So I think from what I have heard of their history, Denmark has a little bit hard time letting go of Iceland if the latter leaves but eventually he realize that just because they are not in love anymore does not mean they cannot be friends.

Yeah, I think Sweden would have a really cool relationship with Iceland because I think he would be more patient with Iceland's mood swings.

And yeah I don't really care that much for Sweden/Finland as a romance pairing, I think they are more interesting as friends. Plus their historical relations is rather complicated so I would imagine that Finland is somewhat still reserved toward Sweden.

Good evening!
How are you doing?

I'm playing a visual novel (because my friend has mentioned it in the past).
I also went to aph osaka page and damn, i remember why I like him a lot. Osaka is so cute and can speak Dutch. : )

From:

yuuago

Hiii! I'm doing okay! It was a good day.
What visual novel are you playing?

You've reminded me that I should re-read some of the older strips some time. I forget most of them very easily.

From:

soseki

Well it look like i am unable to play Fate/Stay Night because it is a windows game that require me to buy the game...

To be honest, I want to play Fate Extra more because I have an weakness for cute girls and one of the "servants" of the player character is a fox gal.. The one guy servant is kind of cute though and so is the most famous character from the Fate series, Saber. And the blonde dude from the game look like Denmark so maybe I just happen to really want to play the game for Caster (the fox chick) and Gilgamesch (the Denmark look alike) And the gameplay look like something I'll like. XD

Yeah, my favorite strip is the one about Netherlands and Japan dimpolmacy. that was the first Hetalia comic strip that I honestly read all over again even when I didn't focus on Hetalia due to fandom. I actually should read the strip again because I want to draw something relating to them.

From:

yuuago

Oh, I see! I've heard of that series, but haven't played it myself. I've only played a few visual novels before.

That Netherlands and Japan strip is actually one of my favourite non-Nordic strips <3 It's what helped me start to like Netherlands so much. :D (I actually like Netherlands/Japan a lot as a pairing even though I rarely talk about it)
What kind of drawing are you planning to do with them?

From:

soseki

I hope to do something historical or even something modern day for Netherlands/Japan.

My writing inspiration has dried up lately though... Drawing is another option but I prefer writing since I do not have much ways to scan drawing (i do all my drawings on paper)

From:

yuuago

Sounds like a good idea. :)

I haven't been feeling very inspired for writing either... maybe it's because it's kind of a gloomy time of year.

From:

soseki

Ah same here. Then again, I mostly spend my time practicing Esperanto on my livejournal and skype...

Oh, I read a yaoi manga and it was actually good. I keep thinking about the series while I was out today which is strange because I rarely read yaoi series and the one I had read are often lackluster.

From:

yuuago

Well, as long as you're doing something that makes you feel fulfilled, then it's all good! :D

Ahh that so? It's always nice when you find something new that's actually satisfying! (What manga was it?)

From:

soseki

This is the manga.

I do warn that there are some heavy subjects touch upon in this manga.... I think the summary on that page is likely to give you a good idea of what to expect...
