But Why Budweisers

But Why Budweisers - America and Canada.
America and Canada are the bro-est of bros. But is their bro-hood their greatest strength...or their greatest weakness? Also, can you say "cool" so many times that it becomes meaningless

Aaaaaaah, bromance! I loved this SO MUCH. Tuna hockey! Canada pays for what he steals! The cool recession! My only complaint is that there is not more of it.

[pyrrhiccomedy]

I LOVE BROFIC and always want to see more of it, and when I got this prompt I was like "it is time to BE the change I want to SEE in the WORLD."

[thewaterbandit]

A noble endeavor! (That is kind of my inspiration for most of my stuff too)

[pyrrhiccomedy]

God, yeah, I really wonder how common a motivation that is, you know? Like, it's not necessarily that I want to write a particular story, as it is that I want to read that story and, well, nobody else is going to write it.

[inuyashacooks]

oh my god.

the whole conversation that began with "And this is breaking and entering, and you are even less cool than you were ten minutes ago. Okay? You are now operating from a cool deficit." just wjakshdkjsdf and then "Yeah." America banged their shoulders together. Canada staggered a step and fixed his crooked glasses. "So that when I'm done kicking your ass, you can patch up your broken vagina." *WIPES AWAY JOYFUL TEAR* OH MY GOD I COULDNT STOP LAUGHING XDDDD

"If Death ever came for me," he called between gulps, "And he was like, 'hey, normally I do this with chess, but if you want to try to win back your soul in a game of hockey, that's cool too,' then I'm gonna live forever."

yes, canada, indeed. i have nothing to say except that this was all epic and you write them, and the dynamic between them, perfectly :'D

I seriously try to imagine something romantic going down between America and Canada, and I just can't. Because this is what they sound like to me. All the time. It's just been this, for like, a hundred years. But then again, maybe I just feel that way because I love bros.

[inuyashacooks]

inorite, i can't see anything romantic between them either- if they did have anything romantic it would end with Canada leaving America after he cracks one too many "oh it's you i thought it was a ghost" jokes. THERE NEEDS TO BE MUCH MORE BROMANCE IN THIS FANDOM. there is so much potential for it B|

IAWTC. I have such a soft spot for N.Italy/S.Italy brofic, you know? Like, COME ON, they're fucking adorable, what do you people want. They need to make rigatoni together and complain about their boyfriends over videogames.

I love the bromance. Being a business major, I find all your business jargons all so funny :D hahah Canada having a cool deficit. That wins. I don't know about the rest of Canada, but if I ever break into a store, I will feel so guilty I'll leave some money behind too.

"Okay." A sweep of relief uplifted America's voice. "I can never tell when we're fighting."

Ah for some reason, this line sound so true and deep.

[pyrrhiccomedy]

Ah for some reason, this line sound so true and deep.

I think it is rather dismayingly true about US-Canadian relations, going all the way back to like, the 1700s. "Woah, dude, are you mad about me invading you? I totally didn't know." "OF COURSE I'M MAD. HOW WOULD I NOT BE MAD. AKDFJSDFLKJSDF."

[akillarian]

Sometimes it's good to adopt a chill attitude like Alfred and not take everything so seriously. Less conflicts that way.

From what little I learn in history, business history and magazine polls, Canada did have a pretty good relationship with U.S and Canadians overall had a good opinion of U.S. until 2000s decade.

[pyrrhiccomedy]

Canada and America had...odd relations for most of their history. There was simultaneously a lot of fellow-feeling, and a lot of tension, because Canada's well-being depended entirely on Anglo-American relations. Whenever things soured between Great Britain and the United States, Canada was inevitably the country that suffered for it. Canada and the US didn't establish free trade until after WW2, despite repeated Canadian offers. America also invaded Canada multiple times (in 1775, 1812, and 1813--and there was the whole Fenian thing 1866, but that was sort of complicated) in an effort to separate Canada from British influence. They got along fine, for the most part, but--it would be hard to call them "friends" prior to WW1 at the earliest, when Anglo-American relations had significantly improved over the status quo in the 19th century. Here, have a relevant wikipedia link.

T-The bromance.

THE BROMANCE.

GOD I LOVE IT.

And breaking into a Wegmans and playing tuna hockey...it's just...I imagine that and start cracking up. More Nations should break into grocery stores and play silly games. <3

[pyrrhiccomedy]

BROMANCE!

Dude I don't know how this fic happened. Blue was just like "idk grocery store?" and I was like "SURE I HAVE 2K WORDS TO WRITE ABOUT THAT APPARENTLY."

[animedutchess]

DUDE! Some of the best fics are written that way!

[daegaer]

Eeee, this is so funny and them and, dare I say it, cool :-)

[pyrrhiccomedy]

Does this mean Canada's out of the red? =D

[daegaer]

He's building up a little stock of cool against the winter, perhaps :-)

[pyrrhiccomedy]

So this is like

His 401k of cool.
