#you haven't even seen my poster connecting ALL my ships

[yaboizucchini]

Snowbaz, Drarry, Wolfstar, Zukka, FirstPrince

Connections of (some of) my OTPs.

While I'm sure you already know the ships, I already wrote descriptions so I'm sure as hell gonna put them in here.

Drarry:

Drarry is a non-canon ship, although a lot in the book alludes to it existing, between Harry James Potter and Draco Lucius Malfoy. A lot of evidence for their relationship happens in book 6 of Harry Potter, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. Malfoy is a wizard and Harry is as well, Harry is also the chosen one.

Wolfstar:

Wolfstar is a non-canon ship between Sirius Black and Remus John Lupin. They are part of the Harry Potter world. Both are wizards. Remus is a werewolf and Sirius is an animagus.

Snowbaz:

Cannon ship between Simon Snow and Tyrannus Bastilion “Baz” Grim Pitch. Written in first book, Carry On by Rainbow Rowell, later continued in Wayward Son and hopefully things go well and it continues into Anyway the Wind Blows.(Thank fuck it does) Baz is a vampire and a mage with great fashion. Simon is the chosen one and a mage until the end of book one.

FirstPrince:

FirstPrince is a canon ship between Alexander "Alex" Gabriel Claremont-Diaz and His Royal Highness Prince Henry George Edward James Fox-Mountchristen-Windsor of Wales that takes place within Red White and Royal Blue by Casey Mcquiston. Neither of them possess any sort of magical powers, unlike the other ships.

Zukka:

Zukka is also a non-canon ship between Zuko and Sokka within the fictional world of Avatar the Last Airbender. Zuko is a prince and later Firelord, as well as a firebender. Sokka is a non-bender.

Drarry & Wolfastar

Both Harry Potter universe

Sirius and Draco both have constellation names (to be fair they are in the same family)

Sirius and Draco are THE MOST dramatic and extra.

Scars - both Remus and Harry have scarring on their face

Harry and Sirius both were raised in abusive households

Draco and Sirius can speak French (I believe and maybe Baz too)

Drarry, Wolfstar, Snowbaz

Ability to use magic (at least in the beginning)

Gay af

(Baz, Sirius, and Draco) come from prestigious families with old money

Go to school together

Sirius, Harry, and Simon have families that “adopted” them. Sirius had the Potters, Harry has the Weasleys, and Simon had Agatha and Penny's Family.

None of these raging homosexuals can properly deal with their feelings.

Emotionally heart-wrenching

Drarry, Wolfstar, Snowbaz, FirstPrince

Contrasting hair of light and dark

At least one played a sport. (Like legit played not playing a few games of airball or whatever {I'm looking at Sokka here})

Drarry, Wolfstar, Snowbaz, Zukka

Someone really likes dragons (Baz, Charlie, Zuko)

Drarry, Wolfstar, Snowbaz, FirstPrince, Zukka

~Pining~

Idiots to Lovers

Come from old money. (Sirius, Draco, Harry, Zuko, Baz, Henry)

Adorable

Drarry, Wolfstar, Snowbaz, Zukka

Way to much danger for them being literal children

DRAGONS

Set in a universe with a “chosen one”

“Chosen one” in world has a lean to a specific move. Airbending, Expelliarmus, Sword thingy

All somehow related to the chosen one. (Godfather, Brother-in-law, boyfriend)

✨WAR✨

Drarry & Snowbaz

Enemies to lovers

Snow and Harry believing that Draco and Baz are the sole reason behind all misfortune (they think they’re scheming all the time.)

Harry and Simon both being weirdly aware of Baz and Draco at all times, excuse of “think they're up to something”

Baz and Draco calling Harry and Simon by their last name. Then Harry and Simon get somewhat emotional when called by their first names and not Potter and Snow.

Baz and Draco calling everyone by last name

Draco and Baz actually having a sense of fashion

Simon and Harry are both the “chosen one”

Simon and Harry orphaned

Simon and Harry are both inexplicable alive (to everyone’s surprise)

Baz and Draco going out of their way to torment Simon and Harry and that’s their way of affection because they can’t exactly deal with their raging gay in front of their crush- sorry “enemy”

The ships are canon (no, I don’t take criticism, Draco lives rent free in Harry’s head-it’s canon)

Have a really smart friend who is totally dependable Penny and Hermione, but also Draco and Baz are both quite smart and top of their class and then there’s their gay himbos who are lucky to be alive.

Baz and Draco both getting top marks and being smart where as Simon and Harry know almost nothing and get by being the chosen one and have a specific go to move (expelliarmus and Simons sword)

Baz and Draco both (usually) have an established sexuality (gay), whereas Simon and Harry usually don’t and have dated girls and of course their gay lovers

Are a fucking geniric as ship and I keep saving wrong fanart for them. (YOI is my downfall. Viktuuri looks ridiculously similar to Drarry.)

Drarry, Snowbaz, FirstPrince

Reference a food and the fandom will freak (cake, apple, scone {cherry that is})

Drarry, Snowbaz, FirstPrince, Zukka

Enemies to lovers

Drarry, Snowbaz, Zukka

Children.

Drarry & FirstPrince

Could realistically be called Harry

Drarry, FirstPrince, Zukka

Strongly affiliated with a different thing (Idk how to word this, Gryffindor/Slytherin, England/ Off-Brand England, fire nation/water tribe)

Drarry & Zukka

Draco and Zuko both had a villainous part in their lives.

Harry and Sokka give off Hawaiian shirt, dad joke vibes. (and croc vibes, though I hate to admit it)

Iconic scars given to them by a villain.

Shorties

Impaired vision

I have too much fanart of them

Past girlfriend that could kick your ass (Ginny, Suki, Mai, wow Zukka really has a thing for people who could kill them easily)

Red and blue/green ship. They have different colors specific to them (Harry and Zuko red)

I’ve had an unhealthy obsession with this ship.

Utter fucking shit at names, Harry and Sokka. (Foo foo cuddly poops and whatever Harry named his kids)

Wolfstar & Snowbaz

Grimm is in Baz’s name which is Sirius’s animagus (black dog or grim)

Aesthetic. Simon and Remus have a soft aesthetic with fluffy/curly orangey brown hair. Like teddy bears

Sirius and Baz have a pale complexion with (fabulous) black hair and a sharper aesthetic, like a vampire (Baz really is)

Baz and Remus both are considered “monsters” in society, but both have decent control over it and make sure no one gets hurt because of them.

Simon and Sirius low-key don't care that about their “condition”

Roommates- oh my god and they were roommates.

One plays on the school sports team (Sirius and Baz) (Quidditch and Football)

When I search Wolfstar at pride, they both show up

Baz and Remus are both 6’2

Wolfstar, Snowbaz, Zukka

Luxurious hair (you know who) also long hair

Wolfstar & Firstprince

From an outside view, both are friends to lovers. (In reality FirstPrince was enemies to lovers but they had to pretend to be friends so I’m counting it)

Shipname isn’t a combination of their names

Wolfstar, FirstPrince, Zukka

I can’t pinpoint the braincell

Wolfstar & Zukka

Zuko and Remus both have big scars on their faces given to them by people they care/cared about.

Zuko and Sirius both came from bad households.

Said households are wealthy but they’re disowned.

Poor

Not the main characters in their respective fandom

Long hair (Zuko and Sirius)

Special connection to the moon, Sokka and Remus. (girlfriends/bane of existence)

Sokka and Sirius are both flirts and they have their shy little boyfriends

Snowbaz & FirstPrince

I’ve read the book more than once

I’ll be disappointed if you can’t quote it

An unholy amount of cake

Snowbaz, FirstPrince, Zukka

At least part of the ship doesn’t have powers (magical kind)

SnowBaz & Zukka

No powers, Sokka and Simon

FIRE. Zuko and Baz.

Needs badly to have the approval of shitty father (Zuko and Simon)

There’s more coming into the respective universe. (I wrote this before AWTWB was released)

Both have cannon gays and not just some bullshit thrown out later *cough*JK Rowling*cough*

Sword, kachow, surprisingly powerful for not having magic.

Likes dragons (Baz, Zuko)

Close with grandparent before realizing that it is their grandparent.

FirstPrince & Zukka

Add later rather than being part of the initial three (I’m continually shocked that I hadn’t placed FirstPrince in here yet)

Legit royalty (Or a royal-pain-in-the-ass if you asked Sokka or Alex)

Different nations

Feel free to add on! :)

Why UsUk is Not Incest

Before this starts I would like to say that I have done lots of research on this topic. This will not just be me going "thEY'rE Not BRoThErs uwu I doN't HAvE EviDEncE bUt bElieVe me aNYwayS". No, I have lots of evidence for this subject, and if I did not firmly believe in this I wouldn't be sharing it. I will be taking people's arguments and stating my own view on it based on facts of this universe, as much as I can. I will also throw in some other pieces of evidence that don't exactly refute other arguments, but I feel like are important.

I am open to discussion on any of these, as long as you are respectful and are able to come up with actual evidence as so do I. In no way am I saying you have to see their relationship as non-familial or romantic at all. You are allowed to have that interpretation of their relationship, but I do say you should respect me for my interpretation of it as well. With that said, let's get on to the essay.

Argument #1

"America called England Big Brother, so that means they are brothers."

This is a common one that I see, and I understand why. However, in Japan, when you are calling someone "Big Brother" or "Big Sister", it is a term of endearment. You can say it without meaning "you are actually my brother and we are now related". And you could argue that that's not the case, however, in the manga, this fact is stated right after the panels of Baby America calling England Big Brother.

Another thing to point out is that England refuses the title of Big Brother, because he was overly flustered from the term of endearment, since he is so used to being called everyone's Little Brother.

One more thing about this argument, is that France calls himself everyone's Big Brother. And for us FrUk shippers, yes that includes me, he even calls himself England's Big Brother.

Using this argument, that would say that FrUk is incest as well, when we all know that is incorrect. Italy also calls both Spain and France Big Brother, but they are all not related. Romano certainly doesn't call either of them Big Brother (although Romano and Spain's relationship is also up to interpretation as well).

Argument #2

"England raised America, so he has to be a part of his family."

Once again, a common one I see that makes a lot of sense. However, England never really raised America. He was constantly gone, across the ocean. There are multiple times we see America completely alone and raising himself.

America has raised himself, he taught himself how to grow, and since he's a country, he grew up rapidly. When England comes back to America, he is absolutely shocked by how fast he's grown. This bit is more of an analysis since we don't know for a fact, but I feel like this shows that England was gone throughout America's development. So, while you can still easily have your opinion on this one, I don't think England raised America at all.

One more thing is the scene where England "says" they are brothers in the dub of the anime. However, that is the dub of the anime, not an official canon source. In both the sub and the manga, England never says they are brothers, and in the manga even goes as far as to say that he's more of a mentor or a boss.

Argument #3

"The Funimation poster says that England and America are brothers."

This one is super easy to debunk. This poster is in no way canon, it was made to promote the show. In this poster, we see lines that connect England and America that say they are brothers. However, there is no connection between Canada and England, or even Sealand and England. If America is considered a brother to England, then Canada very well would be as well, but there is no connection. Sealand and England are actually confirmed brothers, but they don't have that connection line. Also, Wy would be considered a relative to England and therefore Sealand, yet there is still no familial connection between them. This shows the inconsistency throughout this promotion.

Another thing to add is that this is not from Himaruya. Himaruya is the creator, and the one who has the final say in what is and isn't canon. He has made no mention of this poster, confirming or not confirming it.

Unless if it comes from the original source, or is confirmed from the original source, nothing is for sure.

Argument #4

"Colonizing equals adoption."

I've seen people say this a few times, however this is far from the truth. If colonizing meant someone adopts another, then that means France's inappropriate behavior towards Seychelles is incest or even England's potential crush on Seychelles is incest. If you want to interpret a colonization as adopting, then that's how you interpret it. However, know that it does not apply to canon.

Other Pieces of Evidence

1. Magical Strike AU

This is a piece of evidence I haven't seen many people talking about. In the Magical Strike AU, a canon AU talked about and made by Himaruya, there are only a few confirmed characters roles. This includes France, the magical girl on strike; Japan, an old man who's touring; Netherlands, a business partner; England, a businessman; and America, the son of the President of the company. In this AU, England and America do not have any familial connections what-so-ever.

Take into consideration that this is from an AU, so it can be argued as irrelevant, which is fair, but it's still something to consider.

2. America's Independence

This is a pretty controversial one, but it still needs to be addressed. During the American Revolution, America shouts "I'm no longer a child, nor your little brother." A lot of people either argue this is America just saying that to state his independence and that they are still related.

However, that would only be true if they were mortal and human. These characters are countries that live forever (until they are killed through the heart/their capital is taken over). They do not have the same meanings for different terms that we do.

America stating that he is no longer England's little brother means that he is literally no longer his little brother. This would obviously not work in real life, but this is not real life. They are not human beings who comprehend things like family the same as we do.

The only characters who have a confirmed family connection (in modern day) is Germany and Prussia, Veneziano and Romano, Iceland and Norway, America and Canada, Netherlands/Belgium/Luxembourg, and England and his three older brothers including Sealand as his little brother.

America never addresses England as his brother in modern day, nor does England. Within modern day, they do not consider each other to be brothers. This is able to occur because they aren't human. They don't have the same thought process as others.

Conclusion

If you don't see England and America as romantic, and see them as familial, that is more than okay. However, recognize that shippers of UsUk don't consider them as family.

Shippers do not look at England and America and think "UwU they are brothers so I ship them". Most shippers ship them because of their connection and relationship dynamic.

All we ask for is to be treated with respect. Hating others for shipping something is ridiculous. There is more to a person than a ship.
