#it feels like an especially prominent issue in a lot of GerIta/holytalia content imo but that’s a discussion for another day

Ok, if anyone who follows me is reading this, you probably already know what I’m gonna say, but Nedger.
They’ve never interacted in canon for more than like 1 line (which is rlly sad bc there’s a lot of potential there) but irl the relationship between the two countries is very interesting. In the modern day, the Dutch side of the relationship is like (from my understanding) “well we used to hate the Germans, but nowadays we don’t rlly have anything against them in fact we actually kinda like them, but we can’t let them know that bc we’ve dug our heels in abt it up to this point and it’d be too embarrassing to admit now” and the Germans are like “yeah Dutch ppl are cool, they’re one of our neighbors, they have a similar outlook and culture to us, they’re… there.” And when discussing Dutch-german relations you can’t forget the football rivalry, which is also hilarious. I think this maps pretty perfectly onto the characters; like an enemies to lovers-who-still-act-like-they’re-enemies-but-actually-do-like-each-other-even-though-you’d-never-be-able-to-tell. They also have similar personalities (which can make them work rlly well as foils) and interests, so I think they’d be able to get along well purely based on their canon character traits.
Anyway, that’s my little rant abt that, I rlly like them in any type of relationship (platonic, romantic, or otherwise) and I wish there was more content of them, there’s only like 18 fics on AO3 (one of which is mine and I want to write more but I haven’t rlly had the time or motivation)
Hey Hetalia fans! Yes you!
Reblog with the rarepair you ship, and explain the dynamics or why you like it. I want to get to know some of the other rarepairs.
If you have any content for that rarepair you want others to see (whether you made it or not). I'll go read or look at the fanart and reblog it with my thoughts on it.
I know rarepairs so often get overlooked, and we all want a chance to gush over our ships, so this is your chance!
