She's already a fujoshi self-insert grrrrl power kind of character in the strips so it used to always be a strip by strip basis whether I liked her or not, because that goes very wrong very easily but I mostly edged out on like...until fandom dialed up the fujoshi self-insert to 11 and made her the most obnoxious holier-than-thou character that now I can't even read the strips and find her even a little enjoyable anymore. To be fair I haven't read any fic or fandom hc or whatever in probably two years because of it so maybe it's changed but yikes. Predictably ever since Himaruya's blog note during Halloween that she's crazy for cute girls I've been curious about her again, so maybe I'll like her again if I stick to yuri fandom.
As you can imagine only being willing to give Hungary a second chance because of the possibility of yuri makes it hard to appreciate AusHun (I've never liked PruHun) but good lord certain people have made it really hard to give it a go in general. Part of the problem is how it's shown in canon to be fair, but I usually try to console myself with the fact we've never actually seen them together when they were actually married. But fandom either overloads on fluff or makes them married since the 1500s because their love is eternal (or both) OR over corrects too fucking far and makes them angst buckets. Bleh.
