Pff was interested enough after reading the backstory of Prussia and Hungary that I went spelunking on fanart sites. Everything was either DV or tragic love, and ... I like it. It's Wuthering Heights all over again. With shoujo sparkles. one of the emo-er fancomics made me baawww :|

I know nothing about their background and histories beyond what's been scanlated on the community ahaha and I even forgot which side Hungary's hair parting was on.






Oh, here are some things that I was too lazy to scan.





chikotori tells me that she finds the image of France in a nightshirt funny. WHAT D: men in nightshirts are sexy okay, the setup allows me to draw hairy legs, but still not bother with the major problem of drawing thighs and/or tonkers.

She also tells me that the reason why USxUK is called "Joker" is because the Japanese fans took the first syllables of their last names like so:

Alfred F. Jones (Jyo-n-zu)
Arthur Kirkland (Ka-ku-ran-do)

= Joker (Jyoka)

I haven't verified if they use this CP name as a tag in Pixiv (because I never click on fanart of that couple....), but it would be amusing if they did and pictures of this other thing called Jyoka from Houshin Engi turned up.

With similar reasoning, FRxUK would be:

Francis Bonnefoy (so I'm stretching this a bit since the first syllable is technically just 'bo')
Arthur Kirkland

= Bonker(s)

The other pairing name I come across on my Pixiv-ly travels (I am rather too selective on my choice of viewing) is Gileli (Prussia x Hungary). So Austria x Hungary would be Rodeli. Which sounds like a type of pasta.

Back to the homo (such as it is) after this (=A=);;

I WANT TO LOAD MY FLIST IN LESS THAN FIVE MINUTES PER PAGE I OPEN AND REPLY AND PUT UP COMM POSTS AND THINGS AND BOOK THOSE £9.95 TICKETS TO VIENNA, SO BUCK UP, BT, BUCK UP.

Well actually joker for us/uk is written as ジョーカー whereas I guess the scary Jyoka is written in kanji.

LET'S SEE IF BT LETS ME POST THIS COMMENT.

Oh yea hor, but then again people looking for the Orochi Jyoka might find that horrible thing in the tag. Although I doubt any fanart exists of the horrible thing...
6th-Apr-2009 10:30 pm (UTC)
I bet there's fanart of that thing doing the Ranka Lee *kira* pose.

Yay more DV!

Does Francis have a nightcap? :D
6th-Apr-2009 10:03 pm (UTC)
...I should hope not.

Even more DV should be done by tomorrow.

Joker. Bonker. what. (Bonker sounds so lame D:)




Prussia & Hungary are cute, and LOLOL I totally expect this comic to happen in "canon".

Cute.
6th-Apr-2009 10:23 pm (UTC)
Bonkers is very lame actually, it's a weak, gentle and lame word that can be used to replace "crazy".

Ah, I'm hoping for more Prussia/Hungary/Austria/Germany comics from the author, when he's not too busy with his other work *crosses fingers*
6th-Apr-2009 01:15 am (UTC)
Your comic just made this pairing even more canon for me~~ 8D ♥♥♥ And huhuhu, Francis in his nightshirt is sure smexy~ //

So... I guess I'm into Joker? :D;; *feels weird for referring it to that name* And I want more Bonkers!
6th-Apr-2009 10:44 pm (UTC)
It IS a weird name. Who's the joker?? I'm assuming Alfred...?

Oh no, now I'm having those visions of him in Heath Ledger!Joker makeup and purple suit....
6th-Apr-2009 11:17 pm (UTC)
That's exactly the mental imagery I had when I saw the pairing's title. D:!!! *falls over with Alfred and Arthur in costumes, wtfshutupalreadyyyy*

Austria/Hungary + cockblocked Prussia is my other otp in this fandom. She will sit all slinky on the lid of Austria's piano! and they probably dance all mooshily for no reason! while Prussia hides in the bushes waiting for the opportune moment to yell 'EMPIRE OF FUCK-ALL' in proper Eddie Izzard fashion.


... BONKERS.

In a highschool shoujo AU, Prussia and Hungary will be the best buddies and neighbours trope! And they will kick ass and strike fear into the hearts of biker gangs everywhere in middle school! And then in high school, Hungary meets bumps into Austria, the most eligible rich, handsome, piano-playing boy in Gakuen Hetalia while running late to class on her first day!

IT'S LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT! AND SO, SHE STARTS ON HER QUEST TO BE THE PERFECT YOUNG LADY, AND CAPTURE THE HEART OF THE OUTWARDLY COLD, BUT IN REALITY LONELY AND EMOTIONAL RODERICH EDELSTEIN. MEANWHILE, PRUSSIA STRUGGLES TO COME TO GRIPS WITH HIS NEWFOUND AWARENESS OF HUNGARY'S FEMININITY. WHAT IS THIS ALIEN FEELING IN HIS BREAST? WHY DOES HE BLUSH WHEN HE SEES HER WITH HER NEW FLOWER HAIRCLIP?

oh god I'll shut up now

yes that is actually now my OT"3" (quote marks for cockblocked Prussia...) for this fandom, I was converted after reading the growing-a-penis strips and all the Hungary being manlier than Austria things, no historical basis a-tall.

H-hello... I hope you don't mind a random ninja-lurker?
I really like your art style of course, France is just all sorts of awesome, but I think the part of the entry that convinced me to watch you is BONKERS. I lol'ed.
*runs away*
7th-Apr-2009 10:03 pm (UTC) - Re: *lurk*
Oh dear, I felt the weakest part of my entry was "Bonkers". It showed a certain softness of the brain that I am trying desperately to correct. OTL

I am fond of lurkers, I clasp them to my bosom (okay, not literally, please don't run away-- TAT)

Lololol~ Old post is old but at least now I know why the US/UK pairing is termed "Joker". But what had me thinking was FrUK also have one too, which is "Nice Dover/ナイスドーヴァー" and I've been wondering how that came about... o,O

Pffft~ Francis is sexy no matter what's he wearing... And awwwwwwww at Gilbo and Elizaveta...
17th-Jun-2009 09:11 pm (UTC)
Oh, the Nice Dover thing is something to do with the white cliffs of Dover (it's the narrowest point across the English Channel, where the cliffs face the coast of France [which can actually be seen from them] and a lot of invasions over the centuries were launched there)

One of the most humiliating things for Francis (or rather, one of Arthur's favourite memories of his life) was when Napoleon tried to attack England from there, and failed, ha ha ha.

I like drawing men in nightshirts :DD
17th-Jun-2009 10:42 pm (UTC)
Ooooooooooh~ So that's how it came about... Well that explains a lot... *hangs self for not reading more on Wiki*

Arthur definitely takes delight in that. =D

Ditto to that. Most men wear PJs so nightshirts are... *grins*
17th-Jun-2009 10:54 pm (UTC)
Actually my flatmate told me about that (she went to Calais, which is the port where the passenger ferry that crosses the English Channel from Dover docks), I FELT SO IGNORANT AFTERWARDS.

Yes, and nightshirts are, well, open at the bottom hahaha omg I don't know how to say it without sounding like some kind of pervert
