So I'm sitting here trying to sign on to my school website to do homework, and it won't let me. So I decided to start on a little project I've wanted to do for some time now. This is part-essay and part musing on my part. It may or may not fit in with your head-canon or even historical knowledge. On both parts I am open to increasing my own ( Read more... )

Hey, I don't know if you're up to debate, but, huh... Well, feel free to tell me if you don't wanna! But I don't like this pairing - I could explain why if you were interested - and I wanted to ask you a few questions. I don't mean to insult you or anything - as I said, I just don't understand the pairing and I'm very curious to see where it's fans are coming from ( ... )

Really? I can't rememeber, ahah. I may not agree with your points, but I'm definitely not sarcastic when I say I'm interested in them! I seriously love to debate and read other people's opinion ( ... )

Actually you're wrong, my point of view is actually more from Lithuania's point of view than anything. Not being into the pairing you wouldn't know my fics as I am assuming others who read this have, or would if they're into RussLiet. All of my fics are from Lithuania's point of view. I'd just like to point out that if you look at Lithuanian media right now, they're extremely resentful of the Polish right now too. This doesn't mean they're not still friends. Maybe you'd argue that well, the Polish haven't done as many bad things as the Russians. Well, true, but that's beside my point ( ... )

I suppose if you believe Lithuania has chosen to to forgive Russia... I like the explanations you have given in your comments to me better than what you had written in your enty itself. I think it mostly comes down to what you consider being used, and what you'd consider being in power. I think it's very naive to believe that Russia didn't use Lithuania - if you are talking about the country. Stalin - and, in general, the Soviet regime - was incredibly skilled at manipulating and taking advantage of situations. Russia is, and as always been, a huge country, and that's just how it works. Big countries use the small ones. Lithuania never hand the upper hand over Russia. Short term, yes, maybe, Lithuania believed that Russia could bring them what they wanted. But in the long term, it all went accordingly (well, almost) to the Soviet's plans of taking control of Eastern Europe. When Russia, the character, says he wants others to be one with him, that's how I see it - he wants to take control of them, because that what the country did for ( ... )

Oh no, I'm not dismissing you. Sorry if I sound defensive, I think that's just how I sound sometimes. Hmm... I do think Russia has control issues. The problem I have with pairing him with those who have equal power (because I think no one has more except possibly America) is that I don't see him relenting control in fact. Maybe for a time he could be equal. I like China/Russia, France/Russia... I think that's it for my headcanon. I'm open to other pairings and all. It's just my preference to like Russia/Lithuania ( ... )
