i think the best way is a domestic married relationship. like italy doesn't even notice how married they act and germany is well aware of the looks they get haha
I don't really care about top/bottom dynamics but yeah, I hate it when fanfics portray Italy as the submissive virginal maiden and Germany as the dominant hunk who knows exactly what he's doing in the relationship. Like, how do you watch/read Hetalia while paying any amount of attention to the source material and come out of it thinking that emotionally constipated Germany is the one wearing the pants in their domestic life, in a non-militaristic context? It's just baffling to me lmao
In all the smutty fanfics I’ve read about Germany and Italy, top Italy almost always seems to be the healthier sexual relationship. Like, the authors have Italy take in Germany’s wants and desires into consideration as well as his own (something I sadly don’t see much in top Germany fics, take notes top Germany writers). Also, they don’t make Germany more feminine when he’s bottom (you’d think it wouldn’t happen, but I’ve read characters who have literal six packs given soft stomachs because they were bottom). And this is just a personal opinion, but I feel that while Germany is the more kinky out of the two, he’s definitely the shyest about sex/nudity. Like, if you told Italy to run to the store and back naked in under twenty minutes he’ll probably go, “I can do it in five!” and proceed to do so. Whereas if you told Germany to do it there is a 9/10 chance you’ll be punched. So, top Italy could definitely give Germany a confidence boost and make him feel more comfortable (bottom Italy too, but we don’t see much of a nervous top Germany so; disappointment). Since this thing is already like, three paragraphs long, I may as well add four to make it even. This should also be more common in Gerita (and literally ANY other ship involving Germany); Prussia should be hella protective of Germany. I’m talking so protective he’ll do that annoying thing where he’ll see Germany snuggling with Italy on the couch and say, “what movie we watching?,” then plop down right between them, forcing them both to move away. If Germany brings someone home they’re gonna get the most threatening shovel talk of their life.
where can I find these type of fics?? bc I always find the Top Germany and it makes it hard to get into the ship itself bc of it. It always feels so ooc for me and I can't take it seriously.

@@maymaecat5149 Mostly on ao3 in my experience. There are a few where it feels off, but for the most part, it’s all right on track save for one or two small pieces.
The point about Germany and HRE reminds me of the Inu Yasha ship war.... oh my god that is one of the biggest ship war ever and it lasts for decades already. it is exactly the same as the hypothetical situation you described. The guy's girlfriend died, and hundred years later the gf was reincarnated as another girl and he fell in love with the new girl. Then the original gf somehow revived and returned.....
He is not chibi italy animore but that doesn't denies the fact that he loved a guy when he was a kid, and the fact that Germany have a soft spot for italy.
My favorite channel is back! And I don't know if you take requests, but if you do a "The Problem Shipping Spain" video, my soul will literally exit my body. In a good way.
Austria once advised Germany to marry Italy💒 also when nations and Nyonations will meet lot can happen lot of looove 💓(when Italy on aprill fools teels Germany than he turn i to girl he believed in this 😏)
6:38 to 6:53 I think about that alot, since nowadays I'm not a Gerita shipper, and maybe until some extend, i'm not into HRE/Chibitalia, i would prefer them as friends, but yeah, it's a embarrassing feeling of not knowing if what you were doing was right, when you think a lot about it, it's a bizarre love triangle, you start having an identity crisis and paranoia, then you understand why people who looks like you or clones is actually a bad thing and realize that you prefer be yourself as now and no other person, you know, that's the whole thing the Kingdom Hearts characters were talking about and AHHHHHHHH! Then I started to think that Germany and HRE may have the same physical body, but not the same soul or spirit, like, what if the Holy Roman Empire existencial being may be dead, but his body was kept intact by his brother or something, to create a new existence called Germany, the soul is not the same, only the body was reused. I don't know and no one really knows what happened at Germany's birth, but this theory is kinda messed up and disturbing if you think about how a person's live is actually a lie, he is a half being, and perhaps he will only be recomplete when he dies. But as you pointed out, it may be wrong.
What do you mean they're not canon? Germany practically proposed to him... And italy have expressed in the anime that he have dirty thoughts of Germany he slept naked together with germany (and other characters lol) but he request japan to tell him how he can be "more than a friend" to Germany....
Even when I first entered the fandom, GerIta was just not my cup of tea. Sure, the fan art was cute, but that's about it. I also tend to be a sucker for rare pairs, so having the most popular ship in the fandom shoved down my throat made me detest it even more.
This ship isnt my cup of tea but the anime moments is really wholesome :D I headcanon that italy sees him as a father figure All ships are valid as long as it's not toxic or illegal c:
5:38 I am italian (north italian*) and if this is true it makes me deeply uncomfortable... It's not even true. The partisans (the resistence against the Nazi invaders) were well distributed on the peninsula One of the regions where they were more numerous was Piedmont, possibly the part of Italy that is further north I find it disrespectful to have two Italy just to have a ship make sense... I still ship Gerita and I usually don't take Hetalia seriously at all, but I wanted to point this out
I think that if these two characters end up together, It could be funny. They have more of a Brotherly relationship to me and I think they might get paired with future characters. I personally think it would be funny if they Italy burns his "combat record" and Germany's Corn Because they want to Mary that person and they do it together to show there relationship to their love interest and Trust in each other.
I’m one of those “GerIta Antis”, I’m an anti shipper in general (romantic relationships in Hetalia make no sense ok) , and I don’t hate Gerita because I ship something else, it’s because I’m actually invested in these characters. And I think especially Germanys character suffers under all the GerIta bait. Germany has zero character outside of his relationship with Italy. Why does he act the way he does? Literally because he was written as a foil to Italy and that happens to be the German stereotype. There is no explanation to his character given in the series. For all we know, Germany just spawned in ww1 and was already the way he is. “But the German unification!” That was all exposition narrated by Prussia. “Italy is my only friend.” Uh bro what about Prussia and like your 100 other brothers duh. And yes, I do have my headcanons on the development of his character but right now I’m focusing on what canon exposition we were given on him. For a main character, that’s just weak writing. Also dear Hima, this isn’t a romance anime? If you want your sweet yaoi bait can you please not abuse actual countries and cultures for that and instead make your own OCs? xD
Ikr, i don't consider myself anti-Gerita or anti-shipper, just ex-Gerita, but in general I agree with you, Germany could've been a tridimensional character who goes on adventures along the world, explore it's own country and show it to everybody and a slice of life childhood/teenage years on the 19'th century with his brothers, there's more to talk about Western Germany than just technical mainstream machines, military and food, Western Germany have interesting architecture, a folklore to explore, industrial music, the history with religion, principally protestantism that is not a thing to ignore, the ambiental nature of Western Germany and etc. Instead we have the same old stereotype puns with Queerbating/Yaoi bait, Germany doesn't know what to do with his life despite of being a well educated man, it looks like nobody knows what to do with him whatsoever, and also, is Austria considered his brother or not? Because if not, Austria was technically his first friend then, and there's Hungary, no?
@@LunaticoniSolar [this is all canon compliant headcanon] To be fair I don’t think his childhood was wholesome. Looking at militarism in the German empire I see Germany more as a tragic character who acts the way he does because he has to. From a young age he was probably pressured with the burden of seeing his brothers die. It’s mentioned in the manga somewhere that over time all his brothers (including Prussia, excluding Austria) will hand over their powers to him and pass away. He has to carry on their legacy. That’s a shit ton of pressure on a child’s shoulders. I mean look how mentally fucked America was after seeing Davie die, imagine being an immortal child and getting into dumped on how a lot of people sacrificed their life for you. Germany needs to be perfect, and that’s how Prussia raised him. Germany is fundamentally different from all the other Hetalia characters. The others grew into their role as a personification over hundreds of years, Germany didnt. That could be a reason why he never saw Prussia as his “friend”. I have no fucking clue about his other brothers though. I really like how Prussia was written, because it’s based on his actual history and how an immortal person would develop over the course of that history (with comedic undertones). He is annoying before his rise to power, is surprisingly similar to Germany when he’s at his height of power and is annoying again after the fall of the kingdom of Prussia, because he can’t let go. That’s pretty decent writing for an immortal character who is based on a country with all the limitations Hetalia canon has. Deep down Hetalia has a great concept and it really could be great. But yeah, Hetalia was never really intended to be a conceptually good series so I’m pretty ok with what we got. I mostly make my own stories and headcanons nowadays because I’m probably too old for the shipping drama.
@@coolesocke8675 yeah, your point is understandable, I've already thought a lot about the part of his childhood where he discovers the the pain of being an immortal being and the horrors of the world in general, but honestly...I don't think these were all the things he saw and learned as young, from the comics and some scenes from World Stars, it's showed that he spent a lot of his time working on industrialization and discovering new technologies with brother Prussia, this doesn't seem like a horrible way of living as far as tiring and boring it can be, but know what? Life is like that, a tiring process of discovering the world with people who you love and learn with you, I don't think that Germany's past was an angst type of roll all the time, he doesn't need to have an angst edgy kinda of shit thing happening to treat his developmet, the canon Hetalia with Germany and Prussia already points out that Germany had a normal life for the most part, this angst part of his life would be just one facet of his personality. But still, your point was understandable. You point out that Prussia is a well written character, you're so right.
2:00 I would not say the writting was that bad. Of course if I were writting Germany I would write him as more confused. Germany: Hey we were supposed to be allies and you betrayed me with France and UK so I attacked Poland: You never considered me an ally and you were making weird remarks about my sea access standing in a way to Prussia. Do you even know what friendship is coz you didn't act like a friend?
May have been! After all, the dub DID give us "What is it, another Jew?" and England and France telling people that Germany's running concentration camps as a RUMOR.
I do not like this ship. Partly because is overrated and shoved down our throats by almost every fan, and partly because I have opposing ships with higher % of more canon probability. I also think their relationship seems a bit too strained due to their personalities kinda clashing.
