Simultaneous hugging and throttling! ;A;

[alatherna]

I have one thing to say.

*facepalm*

Still, they talked about their feelings, like, is this the first time? They're being honest, they're talking about love! Like WOW. What progress! ... and then they almost go to war and ruined it, but hey, still points for saying the "L" word... well, ok, so Russia technically didn't say it, but he didn't deny it, and all while being in front of America. Wow, good job guys. Just, next time... no threat of nuclear war, kthxbai, luv ya ♥

[pyrrhiccomedy]

They've talked about their feelings honestly a couple times, I think--in Race the Cold, First Lightning, and Shadows Fade especially--but it's...definitely not their strong suit, and I think it's, ahaha, something they could probably stand to do more of. ._. And I think it's way overdue for them to talk about how their feelings for each other are, perversely, fueling a lot of the problems between them. If they could stand back and be rational about each other, after all, there wouldn't even be a Cold War.

And Russia really did confirm it! You know, "the letter was personal," "I meant it," etc. He hasn't up and Said The Words yet, but at this point that's really not America's malfunction. (It's kinda hard to put into words what America's malfunction is.)

[alatherna]

I meant it more of them talking with "love" in it and "wanting each other", yeah, so America was pretty obvious most of the time (oh man, Race The Cold and "Hey, I like you." will still be my fav line from him, yeah, laugh at me :P), but Russia was going around the subject and being all "I don't want you! D:". And hey, now he wrote that letter, and then he said "I mean it"! I still consider it a great progress.

Of course they wouldn't be themselves if they wouldn't blow this all up again. But Russia still gets some points.

So, quoting my beloved country: "Awesome news, boss" :DDDDDDD

[pyrrhiccomedy]

I agree, this is still progress! It's just...progress with the lives of everybody in the world at stake, so can you guys please please turn it down a little? x_x

So, quoting my beloved country: "Awesome news, boss" :DDDDDDD

I-is it narcissistic of me to want an icon of Poland saying that? With the big fake smile and the thumbs up. >_> FOR YOU SEE, I STILL DON'T THINK I HAVE ENOUGH POLAND ICONS.

D: oh darlings, you poor poor little fools. this is just so crazy, hell i know what's gonna happen but its still so tense! Russia you said that word, you made america's day, don't just turn around and deny it. that's not what you do in these situations!! oh boys...*shakes head* here i give you hugs.

Way to go guys! keep on doin' what ya do~ have some delicious chocolate cake i just baked. Y'all deserve it~

[pyrrhiccomedy]

He's not denying that he loves America! Just that it...should have...any effect on their politics. Which maybe in better circumstances is a position America might be able to comprehend, but America had been thinking of the generous deal as a love offering, you know? The way he sees it, yeah, sure, he can be a grown-up and try to keep his feelings out of his work, but--damn it all, doesn't Russia owe him at least this much?

I think America is being immature, but sympathetic. And Russia is, honestly, hiding behind that facade of maturity in order to not have to deal with his feelings.

[wizzard890]

Russia you said that word, you made america's day, don't just turn around and deny it. that's not what you do in these situations!!

Actually, it was really important to Russia that he didn't deny it. He came right out and confirmed it quite a few times, what with "the letter was personal", "I meant it" and all. Of course, he didn't actually ~say it~, but he really did try his best to make America see that it was still true, despite the fast talking he was doing about the deal.

[emo_viking_jil]

this is true. *ponders*

[inner_wings]

Augh, those boys. I kind of want someone to slap them both.

Well, at least it's comforting to know that no matter how bad things seem, they don't actually blow each other up about all this.

[wizzard890]

They need a "snap out of it!" moment, a la Moonstruck. Cher, where are you when we need you? XD

[pyrrhiccomedy]

I'm just glad the fate of the world didn't hinge on my emotional maturity when I was eighteen.

[wizzard890]

That's the thing about being eighteen, though. You're sure the fate of the world hangs on every decision you make. Because you are just that important. XD

Finally, I've been looking forward to the 1933 tell-off. Yes, Russia, do it. From that point on, things will go better between you two, darling. It's time you finally did something for America that cost you something. Yo've alreayd opened your heart and it's been accepted, what could go wrong?
lolz, politics is more srs bssness, I know, but...i want them so hard to be happy...

America's stuttering, choking, and rage and "red thing behind his eyes" broke my heart, specially because of that joyful beginning.

C'mon Russia, babe, do ittt

[wizzard890]

Finally, I've been looking forward to the 1933 tell-off.

Oh my God, I know. It's been such a long time coming, and I honestly can't believe that Russia never apologized, even when things were going well between them. I think he may have been too ashamed to bring it up, even to ask for America's forgiveness. Well, that, and Russia is really not good at asking for forgiveness in general.

It's time you finally did something for America that cost you something. Yo've alreayd opened your heart and it's been accepted, what could go wrong?

In Russia's eyes? EVERYTHING. Now America can just take him apart from the inside, and how can he be sure that he can trust him and, and, and.
