Rhapsody for Lovers is a music-themed Hetalia ship zine. All works in the zine can be one or more of the following: 

- based off a song - based off a classical or jazz piece - inspired by a musical - AU such as band members, marching band members, orchestra members, ect.  - anything you can think of that's centered on music! 

Shipping works will be encouraged but are not strictly required. Contributors must pick from a list of preapproved ships, other ships may be permitted with moderator approval. This list includes: ItaPan, FrUK, RusAme, Germano, PruAus, Spamano, DenNor, RoChu, and RomeChu.

This will be a for-profit zine, all proceeds will go towards a fund for student music lessons/a scholarship for a local summer music camp (if we get enough proceeds, the camp is a bit expensive lol). The fund or scholarship will be in honor of my student who passed away in January of this year, so this is a very personal project for me. Contributor Applications open in 3 weeks on April 1st! Any questions can be left in the replies, my inbox, or my dms!

That is honestly the perfect way to describe Ludwig lmao

Thank you. I've was thinking about it all day yesterday actually. And before I begin, I do not want people to take this as ger//ita bashing. I'm not really into the ship but I do think at least Ludwig was in love with Feli at some point and I love exploring the toxic side of their potential romance.

Anyway. Perhaps this toxic mindset about love and taking acts of service too far was rooted in him from a young age. A kind of generational trauma if you will passed down from Gilbert due to his time as a religious order. This is getting into projection territory, but that's how I come up with good ideas lol. I sometimes wonder if I am such a people pleaser, unable to speak up for myself and/or say no because I was religious and because they promote a degree of unselfishness that can become unhealthy. Being "Christ-like" requires some form of sacrifice after all. Put those around you before your self for that is how you serve God and get into Heaven. Even though I don't think Ludwig was ever that religious (and that Gil started deconstructing his religion when Lud popped up so it only indirectly influenced his parenting) the idea of love requiring sacrifice and love and care being shown by putting others above yourself always still got rooted in him.

Then you got Feli. Though a bit of a ditz and oblivious, I am a firm believer he isn't as stupid as he presents himself to be. After all, we see him be quite capable, specifically when he was a child. I always loved the headcanon that Feli has abandonment and attachment issues so he acts completely helpless in a attempt to not be left behind again.

With both these trauma responses put together probably won't result in the healthiest relationship. Ludwig give give giving and Feli take take taking because neither knows better and do it to protect themselves. Going a long this line it probably causes issues in their friendship but I think it reaches its climax if they get into a romantic relationship and thus get even more involved in each other's lives. It eventually leads to them breaking up and distancing themselves from each other for a bit.

It is this break that makes them reconsider a lot of things. Ludwig allows himself to explore other romantic options. He had many crushes alongside his crush on Feli, but he had been holding out, hoping Feli felt the same way. By exploring a new relationship or two, he starts to realize that maybe he was giving too much. Thinking too much about Feli and not enough about himself. He learns to love in a more healthy way like that post that tag is from said.

Feli also realizes that maybe the whole helpless act went a little too far. He did what he always did to keep people close and yet Ludwig still left him. One of the people he loved most left him. He spends weeks in reflection. Maybe spends some time with Kiku who puts things in perspective for him since he was an outsider looking in to Feli and Lud's relationship. As an itapan shipper maybe it leads to itapan with Kiku being a grounding force for Feli, but doesn't let him get away with shit. But also Feli may need a bit of a break from serious romances until he finishes processing his trauma. Choose your own ending there.

As much as I don't care for ger//ita as a wholesome end game romance, I do love their friendship every much. So once both heal a bit, Feli and Lud come back together with a friendship stronger than ever, supporting each other in their healing journey and new relationships.

[mochispresso]

Late but I did it! Romerica/itapan week day 1

[kitaychan]

Sublime

Written for Romerica/Itapan week run by @welovefrukmerunning

Day 1: Cardverse

Pairing: Itapan

Beautiful, reserved, graceful, perfect, those were most common the words people used to describe the Queen of Hearts. Feliciano despised when people referred to Kiku as perfect, they couldn’t be more wrong, their words were coated with lies, veiled with ignorance and naivety.

He had repeated those words a long time ago, he had made the same mistake as everyone else, in those times the Queen of Hearts was like an ethereal entity for him, an idea, a symbol of the kingdoms’ grandiosity.

It was only until he became the Jack that the translucent, blurry presence of the queen became a part of his cotidianity. As the new chosen Jack, Feliciano had to learn how to behave, how to look and how to be around the royals.

It was no easy task, he was accustomed to his simple lifestyle. He had to dress properly, the layers of clothes were uncomfortable, the heart emblem on the fabrics seemed overused, almost ridiculous.

He had to eat his words as the tailor reprimanded his refusal to wear the puffy lower garment. “King’s orders” he repeated bitterly as he fumbled with the buttons of his coat. Feliciano was led into the dinning room, that day, he would finally meet the King and Queen of hearts.

The large doors opened and his feet stumbled on the polished floor, a screeching sound announcing his arrival. Feliciano’s face grew warmer as a soft chuckle escaped from the dinner table, followed by a cough.

With slow steps he approached, not daring to look up, a small bow, that’s what they had told him to do. He spared a hesitant glance , meeting the King’s stern stare, a motion with his hand and Feliciano moved swiftly to the seat assigned to him.

As the food was served, silence engulfed them, Feliciano wondered if it was always this way. The clustering of silverware and the shifting of fabrics were the only audible sounds. With the excuse of glancing at the food displayed, Feliciano dared to raise his stare, the king’s face didn’t seem to change at all, like a marble statue, cold and perpetual.

His eyes traveled to the side, the queen was as serious as him but he did meet his gaze, offering a small smile. Feliciano’s heart skipped a beat and he averted his gaze, not raising his stare for the rest of the dinner.

As the days passed, the pressure of acting accordingly seemed to vanish, he no longer had to repeat the instructions on his head, his body was adjusting to the mannerisms, performing them mechanically. The less he cared about every single detail about his stance, the more he was able to perceive in the palace.

He noticed the stiffness of the royals, the hesitation they displayed with every step and Feliciano relished in the idea that just as him, they had to learn and act. Everything was an act. This knowledge gave him a certain power over the situation, he became the disruptive element in their play, stumbling upon the queen on his matutine walks around the garden and forcing the King to chat with him or at least acknowledge him on the evening tea.

A dull ache on his chest was bothering him, Feliciano had no idea why but the time he had to spend by himself was tortuous. In order to lull his ache, he tried to follow them everywhere, noticing that his pain was soothed around the queen.

One of the guards had told him it was the effect the queen had on people, he could lure anyone into his grasp if he wanted, though that was merely a rumor. As the string attached to his heart started to tug harder, Feliciano started to wander around the places the queen frequented, serving as a wordless spectator and offering his company.

He discovered the royals had names, families and interests aside from the Kingdom’s affairs. Just like them, Feliciano shared his own thoughts, he grew closer to them, their shared diners no longer silent, their talks less stiff but the friendly atmosphere seemed to only flourish when he was present. That unveiled a handful of questions for him.

Hearts was a kingdom tightly linked with the idea of love. The monarch had to engage in the activities a marriage demanded of them and until now, Feliciano hadn’t questioned that unspoken rule, but how could one force two people to love each other? Certainly, that wasn’t the case here, Kiku seemed more willing to marry the roses in the garden than to spend more time than necessarily with Ludwig. As for the latter, he didn’t seem to pay heed to the matters of the heart.

For Feliciano, the idea of love was haunting, deep inside his thoughts he knew he was falling in love but it was as scary and daunting as the time he discovered he’d be the jack of hearts. The ache on his chest grew stronger each day until he could no longer take it, barging into the queen’s chamber, his breathing ragged and his hands shaking. Kiku gave him a small smile, lowering his eyes and motioning at him to sit.

Feliciano did but his heart only hurt more, with a shaky voice he said. “I love you.”

Kiku sighed, enveloping him in his arms and running a hand through his hair. “I am deeply sorry, I didn’t want to cause you such distress.”

Feliciano basked in a smell of soft, sweet tones that he could not name, perhaps that was just Kiku’s scent. He buried his head on his shoulder, the ache in his chest disappearing slowly.

“I didn’t mean for this to happen and I understand if you do not feel as you are saying.” Kiku hummed, pulling him away. “You are only saying it because you're bound to, because I grew fond of your presence, and now, my power is bringing you closer as it is what my heart wants but you do not love me. You must be thinking I’m perfect, beautiful and kind but that is far from the truth, I am neither of those things.”

“I do, I mean what I said.” Feliciano’s hold grew tighter, how could Kiku say those things? “You are silly, uptight, you have an unruly strand of hair that parts the other way, your feet stumble on the garden by the gardenias with that stupid rock that nobody thinks of moving and you are cruel, so very cruel for pushing aside my feelings and yet, I love you all the same.”

As he pulled away to gaze at Kiku, he found his heart relieved, the words basking him with peace, the ache was gone yet it was replaced with a growing anxiety as Kiku observed him.

Feliciano fidgeted with his hands, offering Kiku a small smile that was met with an equally shy one. His hands shook as he caressed Kiku’s cheek, their lips meeting for a brief moment.

“I love you too.” Kiku said, pushing them closer to kiss again, this time Feliciano smiled through the kiss, his stomach fluttering with excitement.

Sublime, that was a better way of describing Kiku. Sometimes Feliciano was afraid of how much he loved him, of how much he yearned for his company when they parted, but he no longer ached hurfully for his love.

[frukmerunning]

i hope everyone has a nice yom kippur tomorrow! i’ll be fasting and also taking a break from tumblr and stuff.

i feel weird and sad bc of some stuff that’s going on and i think if i take a break it might be better, so i’m gonna try and take a week or so to be away from everything on here. that said keep being sexy and think of itapan while im gone

[thatsamericano]

what's your thoughts on the proship vs anti debacle?

In general, people should be free to ship whatever they want as long as they tag for the ship and for any potentially upsetting content. Nobody should be harassed for shipping something "problematic." At the end of the day, real people are more important than fiction, so you should block the tags of ships you don't like or block content creators rather than harassing them. It's fine to vent about how you don't like a particular ship as long as you respect boundaries (like not tagging it with the ship name, because shippers go to find content of the ship they like in the tag). And don't push your ship on someone who has made it clear they don't like it, because that's rude and potentially upsetting, even if the ship isn't one you'd personally consider problematic.

If you're referring to something specific with the word "debacle," I'd need more details to give an opinion. I've been busy focusing on Romerica/Itapan week, so I haven't seen any particular blowups over proship/antiship stuff happening in the Hetalia fandom. But I'd judge it by however the people involved are behaving towards other fans, not by whatever they happen to ship.

[emoryinaboat]

I saw a thing and

Hey uhh I saw this little thingy about people saying ItaPan shippers are essentially Not Like Other Girls who don't wanna ship popular stuff and are just GerIta shippers in denial. So I wanna add my two cents in because obviously you all asked for it.

Bullshit.

My little blog has been around for like not even a week but honestly everything in hetalia can be seen as problematic in one way or another and we're at the point where I do not care what you ship as long as you acknowledge any problems the ship has and aren't an asshole about it, we're fine. Taking the chance to also mention that seriously any ship is fine with my headcannon thing, even if I don't like the characters or ships I will do it for you lovely people.
