when I started shipping it if I did: the first thing i did after knowing hetalia was to google aph vietnam and i saw her picture with alfred and i was like ‘ohhhhhhhhhhhhh’ then i ship them.
my thoughts: this ship is both cute and sad. they literally cause me physical pain. Interesting history base. Interesting encounter. Interestion interaction.
What makes me happy about them: They know their flaws and faults and sense of responsibility. Alfred never says sorry, I think, but he admits his mistake.
What makes me sad about them: Vietnam won the costume contest in the previous Hetaween and America didn’t even congratulate the winner of his own party? HIMAPAPA NO. (Vietnam War is a sensitive topic, erm) She’s too prideful, I’d say. And Alfred – well, feels like he’s at fault.
things done in fanfic that annoys me: if someone ever makes alfred totally at fault i’ll fight you to death. because he isn’t. (and i don’t really like the headcanon that there are two vietnams, the north and the south either. i just don’t.)
things I look for in fanfic: VIETNAM NOT BEING THE PASSIVE ONE IN THEIR RELATIONSHIP. SHE TAKES ACTION. HE CHASES HER AND SHE CATCHES HIM BECAUSE I KNOW SHE has got it bad for a particular american boy yayyyyy
Who I’d be comfortable them ending up with, if not each other: Russia. Hungary. Taiwan. (and Norway for Vietnam because I’m that of a loser.)
My happily ever after for them: do they ever get one? do i look like the one for happyeverafter? i’m not. but i’d say if they sit down and talk and enjoy a quiet day together i will certainly die in happiness. Love isn’t necessarily an epic tale of romance. (or imagine your otp: you have no idea what personal space is and it’s really distracting when your face is two inches away from mine, what if i turn my head and accidentally kiss you)
who is the big spoon/little spoon: Alfred is definitely the big one.
what is their favorite non-sexual activity: Watching horror movies and Alfred uses it as an excuse to hug her and she’s like ‘if you’re that scared we can stop —” / Plotting to prank China because she actually likes that / “Alfred, I believe you have a lot of work to do” / She tries to make him eat healthier food — so many? They just want to spend time together.
