What are the weirdest pairings you can think of and why they would or would not work?

She would not be as afraid as some other naions maybe? but he does not paddle that way and is stuck on his wife.Really got nothin' here :)

America and Hungary...Maybe not weird, but deffinately not a common pairing...

I actually came up with the idea WAY back when I wanted to write a Hetalia/Priates of the Caribbean fic (which I never did). America was going to be Will and Hungary was gonna be Elizabeth and England was Jack and Prussia was Barbossa....

Not sure if the pairing could work or not, just wanted to share XD

I have always though that nations would not be bound by human notions of sex and relationships But Hungary is so much older and more experienced she would be turned off by juvenile spazzy America.

Rome/Sealand.

It would work because Sealand would idealize Rome as the ultimate nation, something he strives to be, and Rome could find his idealism and strive to become a nation cute and take him under his wing and he has no problem with him being so young. It wouldn't work because Rome died several millenniums before Sealand was even and idea.

I kinda want to read that now. Shame you never wrote it...

Australia/Austria.

Just few months ago I made a humorous comic about these two and apparently some Aussie/Austria fans liked my pages and featured them in a DA fanclub. I found it bizarre of this newly and strange pairing. xD But it seems fitting. I could picture Austria still upset from all mixed-up names by being mistaken as Australia while Australia tries his best to give his apologies. x)

I'm not trying to bash other peoples' pairings, but I have a hard time imagining Canada being in relationships forever alone? with really loud, exuberant, brash characters. They say opposites attract, but Canada is such a cuddly sweetheart that I want to tuck him away for safe-keeping :3

At the same time, I think the determining factor is how well the author writes the pair :Db We have some really talented people in this fandom, so I think we can make it work! |D /shot for optimism?

Canada and Greece or Canada and Liechtenstein might play.In fact the latter sounds very sweet to me...If you could separate Liech from her big brother that is.

Romano x Hong Kong

...Initially it happened during a really intense mafia!RP, but then I discovered that my Hong Kong got along oddly well with Romano RPers and it kinda stuck. So if they're not bros, they're like, multi-night flings. They tend to argue about who has the better food and whether the Italians improved upon Chinese noodles or just bastardised them.

Norway/Hong Kong.
This came up in roleplay, and it turned out surprisingly well. (... And strangely enough, somewhat fluffy, which was completely unexpected)

The dynamic ended up kind of similar to Norway/Iceland, except without all the historical/personal/familial baggage (and incest), and with more teasing and mischief. Cute!

One would think it wouldn't work very well because they don't have a whole lot of historical connection. That's a valid point. On the other hand, that could be part of the appeal: less baggage than a relationship like, say, Norway/Denmark. Forming relationships with someone unconnected to oneself is like starting with a blank slate, and getting close to someone new is almost like an adventure because there isn't that long history.

I can't see it being, like, a formal, structured relationship, not at all. But they might see one another occasionally.

Cameroon x Monaco

...They'd wouldn't work because they have no personalities yet. But for some strange reason I really like this pair cause they look cute together.

/worthless comment

[goldenlocket1.livejournal.com]

You know What I would like to see a fiction of-The relationship of Iceland and Turkey.They have a past believe it or not.

I've actually been tempted to write about this right after the Christmas shenanigans last year. I've let it off for so long; maybe I should finish it. Fft.

Thank you for reminding me.

Cuba x Liechtenstein
It wouldn't work because Switz would be trigger-happy.

[riyou-chan.livejournal.com]

I...think I agree with you when you say they look cute together oAo

[kiniski.livejournal.com]

I actually think they make a very cute couple! I read a gakuen AU once where they were together. (The main pair was America/Canada but previous to that, he had dated Hungary) And it's just the cutest thing, and I bet they compliment each other really well.

[kiniski.livejournal.com]

Me too, me too!

I'll give (almost) any pairing a go if it's well written.

Japan and Canada…I think it might work…just not sure how

[randamonian.livejournal.com]

I'm not into romantic pairings, but I would like to see my 3 favourite characters be best buds:

Romano + England + Prussia

What I have seen in the comics seems to suggest they don't like each other much. But they have some similarities: Being lonely types, being left behind while their little brother moves up in the world, leaving them a bit neglected. A bit tsunderish, brash and forthright in what they say, which somewhat hides their true feelings.

Anyone with me?

BY THE WAY, MY DEAR - your requested ficcie has been done since the end of summer but I never got around to editing it yet ಠ_ಠ Just wait until Friday!

Since we were talking about Canada I felt the urge to mention this ಠ_ಠ

I reveal my shipping nature!

[randamonian.livejournal.com]

Damn, I just realised I didn't properly answer the main question in your post.

The reason I though it was weird/unusual is because at least from Romano's standpoint, it's a tagteam of England, who he fears, and another potato loving bastard.

And from that reasoning I thought it probably wouldn't work, but my last post gives the main reasons I think it would.

[cattiechaos.livejournal.com]

For England and Romano, maybe it would be a case of we're-too-similar-so-gtfo but I feel like once they got to know each other, they could be really good friends :Db I think England could get along with Prussia (after all, England raised America!) but I don't think Romano could handle the awesome, rofl~

[allu-kun.livejournal.com]

It would involve the movie industry. Other than that... um, they're both fairly quiet unless sports are involved?

d'awww Canada
I'd agree with this in terms of America/Canada. I can see how/why people ship it, but it's just not for me :o NA bros folife whatttt). But, I read this really amazing Denmark/Canada fic a while back and ....now I ship it. ♥

[x-cutslikesilk.livejournal.com]

same here *grabby hands* ♥

[x-cutslikesilk.livejournal.com]

mmmmeh. I kinda used to have preferences, but these days I'm "oooh, that's an interesting pairing *click*"

I feel I can be convinced to like anything if someone writes mind blowing fiction for said pairing. /no shame
