So… what the actual heck happened in Buon San Valentino?

Germany mistook Italy’s feelings for him as romantic,
confused himself more by reading friendship/ romantic guides that listed Italy’s
‘unique’ behaviour as something indicative of romance, fully—and I truly do mean ‘fully’, he
was completely okay with it—committed himself to dating and proposing to
Italy, only to realize that he had misinterpreted Italy’s feelings/ behaviours
the whole time.

I got a challenge for you, inspired by the buzzfeed challenge. Don’t worry, it’s not another one of those. How about a good argument against the HRE is Germany theory? (Sorry if this sounds rude btw)

It doesn’t sound rude!

New Challenge:

Okay,
so here’s the thing. As someone who has read the manga countless times and has picked
up on all the hints, foreshadowing, parallels, and conjoining logics, I don’t and
presently cannot see that as a possibility. I haven’t seen anyone use good
concrete evidence to prove against the theory. And then there’s those who don’t
believe the theory just because everyone else believes it…

So,
tell you what: you guys put forward your evidence as to why you don’t think
Germany is Holy Rome and I’ll see if I can counter it. This way, it tests the
strength of my theory. This post here outlines a lot of my main counters to the
most common arguments, so please read it over first [x]. 

Also
note that you have to back up your points with evidence from the manga. It can’t
just be based on what you ‘think.’ What you think has to be supported with
proof and examples. Show me how you
reached your conclusions ^^ 

Please submit it in ask form!
