🤍💚 Rules & Prompts 💚💙

🤍 For this year's APHNichePairWeek, running from Jun 14-20, the banned ships will be any that has more than a thousand fics on AO3. The off-limits ships are currently as follows:

China/England

China/Russia

Denmark/Norway

England/France

Finland/Sweden

Germany/Italy

💚 Discrimination of any kind will not be tolerated. That means no hating on ships, headcanons, tropes, or aus. We’re here because we all remember the halcyon days of fandom and still hold love for our old otps, so we should keep that in mind when interacting with each other and our works

💙 Any type of creation is accepted, be it fanfic, fanart, podfic, playlists, etc. If posting to AO3, please add it to the collection under APHNichePairWeek2026 ! If there’s any troubles with posting, contact the mods!

🤍 All dead dove content must be appropriately tagged – some people want to see it, some would prefer to not see it

💚 The prompts are as following:

Power | Love

Natural Disasters | Change of Seasons

Creating | Hunting

War | Conversation

Fire | Beauty

Travel | Festivity

Death | Home

You can mix and match, you can write one, you can write both! Whatever you do, just make sure it's a niche pair!

Happy pride and welcome back Shimaguni Islandol

[hxneyfarm]

Happy pride month specifically to folks on the asexual and aromantic spectrum who oftentimes feel isolated and left out of the conversation. You belong here as much as the rest of us and I hope that you are all loved in a way that is comforting to you.

op disabled reblogs but i really wanted this post on my blog again

[ao3-anonymous]

I just saw an anon come into a gif-maker’s ask box and start with the phrase: “I’m trying not to spam your inbox with reblogs, but” and then go on to say how much they love the gifs.

But I’m still stuck on that opening phrase because…what? I am so confused by how people view interactions on tumblr & AO3 these days. Let me make it very clear for anyone who is confused:

CREATORS WANT YOU TO INTERACT WITH THEIR WORK.

The limit does not exist on how many of their works you can interact with in a certain period.

If you like every fic they’ve ever written? Then feel free to give them all kudos and leave a comment on every single one if you feel inclined! If you’re going through someone’s blog and you vibe with every post, like/reblog to your heart’s content!

As long as you’re not expecting something back from them or adding a ton of irrelevant comments, it’s not spam! It’s what this is all about!! I’m not even much of a creator and I still feel a huge sense of pride when I see a ton of notifications in a row from a person, as it clearly shows they thought my blog was worth spending time on.

And if for some reason a creator is annoyed by this (unlikely), they can manage their own experience (turn off notifs, not look at their notes, delete the fic, etc) so don’t deprive the majority of creators because of some imagined annoyed person. Fandom is a collaborative effort and we all must participate!

I have tried getting into Hetalia because there's so much freaky art of it everywhere and one of my favorite nsfw artists started making russia/prussia art but the anime is just (i'm so sorry to locals who enjoy it) so stupid. I want to enjoy it fully but I also just can't get into it.

--

Uh... does anyone think the anime isn't stupid, including die-hard fans?

[anartificialsatellite]

I'm almost having trouble believing this ask is real because "this is fucking stupid" is probably the only thing that the entire fandom can agree on, and I cannot for the life of me imagine going into a comedy anime with five minute long episodes and going "What!! It's stupid in here! how could this be?!"

I just realized that many many people have jobs

Rb with your job, wtf do you people do while offline???

[hetalian-veteran]

I feel like a majority of the Hetalia fans now are just adults sitting around a fire, passing around a bottle of alcohol, and wondering where we all went wrong (even though we all know).

[rpfofficial]

levels of mutualship :

the closest thing to real soulmates you can find

we fought in the same trenches and have a warrior's bond that carries over into every stage of life

friend i sit next to in every class and pass notes to/whisper to constantly

academic peer/colleague that i respect and have a little intellectual crush on

neighbour in the same apartment block that i say hi to on the stairs

neighbour across the street who i wave at every morning and evening

we're regulars at the same bar

i can't even remember who you are but if you weren't here there would be something fundamental missing

[longingpolaris]

@arthurhonda we're the first two. to me.

[thecorruptedquietone]

sometimes you buy a magazine just for the cover because you’re an adult now and you want your 14 year old self to know that life is worth living

[yuki-hitomi-chan]

So I found this new rare pair and I’ve fallen in love with it. Does anyone in the Hetalia fandom ship Italy x China or am I like the only one?

[haveyouever-polls]

Have you ever seen a post with 100k notes and thought, "I remember when this had five"?

Also I had England and America connected as parent and child and it came up after the asa/kiku wedding so I guess Japan is his stepdad now??
