part 347 dimensions of sight and sound

and of mind. Do do do do do do do do do do do.

How was your end-of-December-into-January time, meme? Did you make any New Year's resolutions? Or light a candle in your window in the hopes that Himaruya would update again instead of leaving us behind like an 19th century light house keeper's wife whose husband has gone off to sea? ... Did you?

Enjoy part 347!

Re: Let me tell you about RusLiet

I love this pairing and for almost all of the reasons you described in particular, too. I never thought of Lithuania's 'big brother instinct' like that, though, but it fits so well. Yes. Good.

Another thing that colors this relationship for me is that scene of babu Lithuania and babu Russia, where Lithuania tries to introduce himself but Russia rebuffs him. Instead he vows to become stronger and THEN they can be friends. (And then Hetalia ignores a lot of the history from that time up to when they're both adults which was not always pretty, but apparently we're ignoring it.) So later when Russia really is big and powerful it's like hey, now they can be friends, right, except his definition of friends looks even more fucked-up than it did hundreds of years ago. And if we're shipping them, that's even more than friends and oh hell, what a mess that is. And what does Lithuania think, if he'd treated Russia differently, if he'd done something differently, would the two of them have developed differently? What does Russia blame Lithuania for? What does Lithuania blame himself for?
It's fucked up and we love it, amen.

AH damn I knew I was forgetting something...

yes the strip with them meeting as children rekindled my interest

If Lithuania remembers that, it must keep him up at night
