Maybe this time, I'll be lucky
Maybe this time, he'll stay
Maybe this time
For the first time
Love won't hurry away

He will hold me fast
I'll be home at last
Not a loser anymore
Like the last time
And the time before.

*COUGH* Okay, let me explain this. Post-Secret Armistice, Italy was picking up the pieces in the Northern territory from when German soldiers tore it apart, burning the countryside and slaughtering Italian citizens. American troops came along and helped them put everything back together, so this is a stupid, stupid picture of when Alfred (having made stale noodles) sits with Feliciano and kinda nurses him back to health.

...I think this pairing is really cute. They're both very touchy-feely and would probably get along really well (As canonically, their soldiers did) after Italy switched sides to join the Allies. Feliciano would also be recovering from Ludwig, and probably develop some sort of hero-worshipping, adoring, clingy crush on Alfred.

WHY ARE THEY SO PRECIOUS. >w<

I can't see them actually being a pairing-pairing...more like awesome fuckbuddies who are super-cute, since I ship GermanyxItaly and RussiaxAmerica. But that's cool, since Russia and America hated each others' guts during this time period. 8D

This is based on some rping done with ~fried-ariena .

I think my art has gotten better since I last posted on here. :T

What you said in your AN about their relationship... I totally freaking agree with. America and Italy are great buddies even now. INFLUX OF ITALIANS AND PIZZA AND PASTA IN AMERICA FOR YEARS, NO?!

but really. I think they're adorable together. what you said. awesome fuckbuddies who are super-cute, etc etc.

I'm glad you like it! I feel as though this pairing should get a little more fanbase, all things considered historically...but people aren't as interested in pairing Feliciano with anyone, I've noticed. It makes me sad.

Ahah, it's kind of sad... America used to be so wicked good at taking care of those sick countries. Getting as many of them up on their feet as he could.
...That sort of went away in a hurry, didn't it? xD He'd totally be the kind of person who would keep killing a pet fish, but repeatedly replace them, as if it's going to work the next time.

Heck man, I ship it. >w< It's really rare to see Feliciano shipped with anyone else but Ludwig, and that makes me sad sometimes (Don't get me wrong, they're practically my otp, but Feli's never with anyone else).

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Sou-Viet In reply to Pirateswoop [2010-03-26 05:19:25 +0000 UTC]

I've never really shipped Feli with much of anyone... I mostly glanced at this because I've had an (unexplained) obsession with America/Romano recently for no reason I can figure. xD
But Feli is kjdhfjkasdf adorable. And I can't not ship something that had a historical explanation.

...Aside from a few times. But I don't think my teacher helped in this aspect. It's just so hard to ship Germany and Feli without it just being friendship because of that man. "And by that point, Italy was pretty high on Germany's 'dead to me' list." ...hurk.

Pirateswoop In reply to Sou-Viet [2010-03-26 05:40:15 +0000 UTC]

Unexplained obsessions happen. It's okay. xD
HISTORY MAKES MY SHIPS BETTER. IT'S REALLY AWESOME. 8D It's the only way I can justify them, at any rate.

Italy was only really 'dead' to Germany when they kicked out Mussolini and reinstated their old king, and signed the armistice with America. Up until then, they'd actually been indescribably useful. The only reason Italy has a bad rep for WWII is because of one loss against the British in North Africa, and the publicists went crazy over it, making them out to be useless. Italian troops rivaled German troops, to the extent where they actually excelled past their German counterparts. They were just ill-equipped with weapons and technology. D8 The Italians far outstripped the Germans in battle, and the Germans would often poke fun at them out of their own arrogance or to cover up their own mistakes and blunders (i.e, Rommel publishing his book on tank warfare before the war was over, and Patton got a hold of it, translated it, and learned his every moved and kicked his ass. XD).

...wow sorry, that turned into a rant. I JUST GET SO FIRED UP ABOUT THIS STUFF. 8D *flails a little*

Ah- I know the details and such. It just makes it hard to ship them after that comment. xD It's a tiny thing, ruining the good whole, you know?
And don't worry about it. <3; I get into ranty moments too.

Kachi-sama [2010-03-25 19:58:35 +0000 UTC]

Are they gay? Why don't you ever draw men with women. Do you have something out for gay guys?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Pirateswoop In reply to Kachi-sama [2010-03-25 20:21:13 +0000 UTC]

Yes, they are. I figured it was obvious from what I wrote in the comment box.

As to why I don't draw men with women, I can't really see why that would be anyone's business other than my own. In the case of Hetalia, it may come from the fact that I don't really like any of the female characters enough to draw them. *shrug*

I don't "have something out" for gay guys. I'm not even sure that's a real expression. It would imply that I've got some sort of vendetta against them, which is counterintuitive since I draw them.

Either way, they're two men, they really like each other, and if they want to show that mutual like by cuddling, then MORE POWER TO 'EM.

Kachi-sama In reply to Pirateswoop [2010-03-26 20:00:53 +0000 UTC]

Yes! I didn't mean that you don't like gay guys, I meant that you really like gay guys. I think gay guys are awesome. You should draw Adam Lambert some time. Now, that's what I call an awesome gay guy.

did that really happen Germany attacking Italy? and did that happen in first World War or the Second World War?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Pirateswoop In reply to ABtheButterfly [2010-03-25 03:50:29 +0000 UTC]

Yes. On September 3, 1943, the new Italian government that had ousted Mussolini made secret plans to defect from German alliance and join the Allies. The German government caught wind of this, though, and the German troops stationed in Italy (The majority being in the Northern half) were ordered to burn the countryside and kill any Italian soldiers who weren't on their side.
