Daily Hetalia Fact #36

America grew up faster than Canada.

What Hogwarts house would Lutz be in?

Hogwarts AU

Why is GerAme an ideal pairing?

Great question! Let’s break it down.

Firstly, we need to understand the type of people Alfred and Ludwig are.

Alfred is a spontaneous person. He’s goal-oriented like Ludwig, but while Ludwig is in things for the long run, Alfred gets bored- frustrated even- with problems that take consistent tedious work to solve. His need for constant excitement and stimulation is a large factor in his “hero” mentality and tendency to engage in risky behaviors and bouts of passion. Alfred at his best is genuine, driven and magnetic, but at his worst he’s manipulative, flighty, a man with misplaced passions. Additionally, Alfred is actually adept at reading people, but because he’s tactless, he can be offensive when relaying these observations.

Ludwig, on the other hand, is prone to getting caught up in routines. Order, efficiency and honesty are of paramount importance to him. Ludwig is a loyal, dedicated individual, but likely due to his rushed childhood, he lacks emotional intelligence and presents as very repressed. Ludwig at his best is dutiful, moralistic and grounded, but at his worst paranoid, bitter and closed off. Ludwig is a good person in the sense that he has a strong sense of morality and does try his best, but like Alfred, he’s prone to being misguided.

GerAme pairs well because Alfred and Ludwig work similarly enough for them to understand each other, yet have substantive enough differences to help each other grow.

Beginning with their similarities, we can see that both Alfred and Ludwig are driven, direct, more rational than feeling-based in their decisions and stubborn as hell. The key in their chemistry lies here in the nuances between these shared traits.

While they’re both driven, Alfred isn’t destructive about it. He’ll reach his goals, but he won’t burn himself out and stringently follow every rule along the way. This is beneficial for Ludwig who has an inclination towards getting caught up in work and rules. Ludwig attempts to pile on everything with little regard for his actual limits and consequently, drowns himself in stress, but because Alfred is generally rational and equally stubborn, he’s someone Ludwig is likely to listen to and stop.

However, Ludwig isn’t always the one needing to be pulled down a notch. Alfred can be unreasonable and foolhardy when he feels boxed in, and even more so than Ludwig, he tends to throw himself into messy things like revolutions in the name of the greater good. Because of this wild plunging into the dark, Alfred would find Ludwig who’s grounded, realistic and responsible his saving grace.

Similarity wise, they’re both direct people which is key considering neither of them appreciate playing games and prefer to state things as they are. It ensures they’re unlikely offend each other by being blunt.

Practicality is also important to both of them which is a principal factor in them properly meshing. Many individuals who possess Alfred’s spontaneity and boldness lack his practicality, and without this practicality, Ludwig would be unable to handle him, leading to the relationship failing due to insurmountable differences. Another central point is the fact that Alfred does indeed possess this spontaneity because practicality and rational action alone in a person would be detrimental for Ludwig as he would never be allowed to grow. Furthermore, the converse of this is the reason why Alfred pairs well with Ludwig as someone overly emotional to the point of irrational action would be bothersome to Alfred while someone as impulsive as himself would be a danger.

Ludwig provides the grounding, and Alfred provides the wings.

Ludwig is someone very set on commitment. Setting expectations and boundaries is crucial to him being in a satisfying relationship while Alfred, contrarily, is set on keeping things spicy. This is positive for both of them as while they’re both big on turning words into action, Alfred applies this to hobbies and outings whereas Ludwig often limits this to work, and while Alfred has trouble sitting down and talking things out, Ludwig fills in by ensuring communication is properly carried out. Moreover, Ludwig often falls into monotonous routine which makes Alfred’s spontaneity a positive force in his life while Ludwig anchors Alfred, someone who’s prone to flitting out of relationships without proper incentive, in a relationship he establishes as steady and honest between the excitement.

This applies socially as well because Ludwig, as an introvert, does get tired of people and attention while Alfred, as an extrovert, is already extremely sociable and adores being in the spotlight. This could be a point of contention between them, but I believe it would work in their favor as Ludwig wouldn’t be allowed to hole himself up at home while Alfred would learn to live a little slower as life doesn’t always have got a million miles a minute.

They aren’t without their faults.

I would like to bring up is where they’d clash. While I strongly believe their differences would allow the other to grow as a person while still maintaining their relationship as positive and enjoyable, I cannot ignore the fact that Alfred’s rule-breaking propensity and avoidance of delicate- especially in regards to emotions- situations would cause strife in their relationship just as Ludwig’s difficulty being open and need to follow the directives of authority would.

Yet because of how well they mesh and their love and respect for one another, they would, in my personal opinion, be able to overcome these challenges and grow because of them.

And that’s a wrap!

some of mine old gerita criminal AU doodles from last year (about June 2016 lol) that I didn’t upload. I really obsess with Vargas family being mafioso! U///U In my AU, Feliciano is an underboss Ludwig - INTERPOL officer Lovino - Caporegime  Antonio - Lovino’s right hand  Arthur - Professional  swindler, Feli’s old friend since high school Alfred - FBI officer Rome - Don Vargas and etc.!

the plot in summary was sorta like… Feliciano, taking a stroll in the city and strayed from his bodyguards. Feli got a small accident but fortunately was helped by Ludwig that simultaneously on his way to home. Feli had a crush on him, sending some underling to dig Ludwig’s background afterwards and found out his governmental line of work. Despite of that, Feli kept still wooing him while concealing his own secret about being the greatest mobster heir.

Ours Samplus - Spell on you is my favorite track for this AU <3
