I DON’T want you to think I’m being a hole by asking this, lol, I’m really just genuinely curious-and open minded. I’m wondering why you like RusAme. Like, what are the reasons for that? Any canon reasons as well? I’ve just never seen the appeal. I thought they got along too badly. I guess you can write this as a persuasive essay to get someone to ship RusAme, lol.

I’ll be quick with this,

-You’re not being rude,
so don’t worry about that. I appreciate that you’ve gone through the lengths to
inquire about the reasons. Not many people are capable of this, unfortunately
🙂

-I’m a multi-shipper, so
it’s not like I only ship them together. (Mainly saying this for those who see this
post).

-In general: Not
everyone has to have a reason for their ship other than simply liking it. They
shouldn’t feel obligated to justify it either.

-It’s a misconception
that Russia and America don’t get along [x]. During the Cold War, their relationship
was a myriad of passive-aggressiveness [x] and yes, dick jokes [x]. Presently, the
two get along really well. Although, the passive-aggressiveness remains.

-I don’t want to
persuade anyone to ship RusAme. They can see the information and decide for
themselves. I’ll just point toward some neat parallels between them that would
form the grounds for effective fic writing.

Post coming up tonight!
