Introduction
Hello! My name is Ashton, but I'd like to go by Stephanette. I am a 17-year-old female who roleplays a lot, and creates lots of other characters. I also cuss- sorry. If you wish to learn more about me, don't be afraid to ask. Even though I don't do it often, I also write fanfictions.

Why I love it:
The key to understanding a particular fandom is understanding the characters that are being shipped. So when one starts to diss ones OTP, fangirls of said OTP tend to get a bit…..tense. I know everyone has their opinions on couples in fandoms but really you don’t go about it saying things negatively about it! I don’t like China and Russia together but you don’t hear me moan, bitch, and complain…I even have a few fanfics and pictures I like of them in a fluffy friend-ly way. I understand that the Cold War was tough for them both, and the likely hood of a relationship then was impossible. I would never use the Cold War for what one would call ‘Sexual Tension’! It was a battle between two superpowers both mentally and physically. It was a challenge of brains and brawn, of mental acuteness vs brazen strength.

And they admire each other for it. It’s a relationship that took years to prefect and only they match together so well as for the things they have in common dealing with themselves as countries and individuals. As counties they both are 'Superpowers’ dealing with the suffering of their counties as they struggle with political turmoil and economic crisis. Each strove to be better than the other and fought tooth and nail to come out on top. The fact that neither is willing to give in easily is something they both would admire about each other and that would be the building block of their relationship. Their relationship would not be perfect. Given their history and previous encounters they would often get into fights (verbal and physical, Russia’s got a pipe folks), even over the simplest of things, which would lead them to frustration and the eventual apology of the offending party. Cold War tensions would still run hot as America would still be referring to the Russian as a 'Commie Bastard’ and Russia to America as a 'Capitalist Pig’.

Either way, Russia and America or rather, Ivan and Alfred would eventually patch things over and lead a moderately lovely life, despite fights, distance and those countries that wouldn’t approve of their relationship. They are a strong and powerful team and even more so as a loving couple.
