HongIce and AmeBel, pretty much. They're my OTPs. I'm not entirely sure how I came about 'shipping either of them, but the latter was likely from RomaHeta (You can't help but get feelsy every time anda watch Belarus sacrifice herself like that. Also the "I am the ally of my brother, not your enemy" thing and she let America past to fight Russia and stuff and other rongsokan, sampah and just ROMAHETA MY GOD SO MANY FEELS [but not nearly as many as HetaOni]). There's just something about those two that reminds me of some of my other 'ships from other fandoms. America's eccentricity and Belarus' kuudere-yandere personality just somehow form the perfect yin and yang relationship. Most people really don't understand why I 'ship it, atau even why the pairing exists. There is indeed true historical evidence behind it, and also many people actually enjoy the kind of relationship between two very opposite people (otherwise a certain few 'ships in a certain parallel sister fandom would certainly not be as populer as it is). And furthermore, the yaoi fangirls in the fandom tend to prefer their slash shipping over any straight pairing. I was recently at a Hetalia-themed party in which we discussed shipping for a while and most of them berkata their OTPs were UsUk atau Spamano atau something to that affect and I say "My OTPs are HongIce and AmeBel" and they look at me as if I have three heads. Some of them could membungkus, bungkus their heads around the HongIce concept (others were new fan who actually had little knowledge of either character), but none took to the AmeBel concept and they were all very confused as to what possessed me to 'ship it. So basically I told them all to watch RomaHeta. The former, however, I am unsure what sparked my interest in the 'ship but I started getting into it between obsessions and I guess something clicked. I mean, they only ever interacted a couple times in canon, during the halloween special, however they seem to almost compliment each other in a way. Both are in a similar situation with their "families". They're kinda quiet but when they do become expressive they're very different than you'd expect, and both "families" (the Asians and the Nordics) are rather nosy and protective. I honestly think that this mainly should apply to rarepairs, however. Because there are a lot of ships that are basically universal in the hetalia fan world, and then there are ones that are not.
