[Just a little question]

Please, tell the idiot what's with June 2 and Bunny Couple? I've seen plenty of fanarts with that misterious 6.2 but nothing is explained

OMG I feel so stupid -_____-

June 2nd is RussiaxPrussia day :)

Why? I googled and didn't found any relative explanation.

I'm not 100% sure, but this is what I think of it/interpret it.

Most likely derived from the Japanese fandom trend of using numbers to represent names and such and often then using those numbers to pick out days for them and unofficially give the pairing a day.

e.g. In the Katekyo Hitman Reborn fandom, the character Tsuna has a number that represents him, '29' due to the way that his name is read is similar or are sometimes used in their number system. Tsu for the 2, and na for the 9.

In this case for the RussiaxPrussia day, it may be that case as well. I do not know that Japanese system as in-depth but this is what I think of it.
Russia's japanese romaji is essentially 'Ro-Shi-A'. The number 6 is 'roku' and therefore by just taking the 'ro' from 'roku' they give it a 6 [Most often it is just the first syllable and not both that are taken, it depends on fandoms and trends etc and what they can make of it].
Then for Prussia, I'm not exactly sure, as I've said, I do not know the Japanese number system in-depth but it might be from how they have a special word for the 2nd date instead of going by their normal system. They call the 2nd when talking about dates, as 'futsuka'. Prussia's name in japanese is 'Pu-ro-i-se-n'. The Pru is essentially a fu with a tenten on it, meaning it changes the beginning letter of the character from f to p, in this case. And so, they give Prussia the 2. Then you get 6/2 which is June 2nd.

HOWEVER, I am not 100% on this, but this is what I make of it from my time of being in various fandoms and following fandom trends :)

I don't really question it though, since I adore this pairing, and hey, if they're going to give another reason for more RuPru? I'm not going to question much :)

Ah, my bad. That should be 27, not 29 for Tsuna "orz

I'm not sure about England's Eyebrow day xD;;; But from what I make of it, it is should be something like that? :)

I was wondering about that. Apparently June 24th will be the day for the romanishi (Romaspain) combination, and I was like, "Why 6/24?"
