Eine Kleine Nachtmusik

Wasn't really digging any of the cloverbooks prompts yesterday. Yesterday was horrible for other reasons, anyway. Not in the mood to discuss that, though. So here's me rambling about good things instead!

Before I get on with the cloverbooks stuff for today, I need to spam about what just came in the mail today~!

Now here's today's prompt response.

03/04/10 prompt[s]

What are some of your top OTPs in fandom? What attracted you to these pairings? Do you see any parallels/common traits between your OTPs? Why do you think this is?

Yay, an excuse to fangirl Austria/Hungary! Some of my other top pairings over time have been:

-Komui/Miranda (D. Gray-man)
-Tyki/Allen (D. Gray-man)
-Gwendal/Gunter (Kyo Kara Maoh)
-Mine/Kiyora (Nodame Cantabile)
-England/Japan (Hetalia)
-Rin/Saber (Fate/Stay Night)

For all of them, it was something about the way that they interact that struck me as really cute/hot/interesting/fun/whatever. The only exception is Komui/Miranda, since this is a pure crack pairing. They've never even spoken to each other in canon. With them, it's more about the way their personalities would mesh if they actually had the time to hang around with each other. I like all of these pairings for completely different reasons, though, and they're all pretty different. The only real common ground I can see between any two of them is with the two het pairings. Both Hungary and Kiyora are the dominant partners, despite being female. Really I like variety in my pairings, though.

None of the guy on guy pairings really have much in common. Tyki and Allen are enemies to the point that rape is the only way it could even work. Gwendal is a "tough guy" that secretly likes to knit stuffed animals and has a huge weakness for cute things, while Gunter is a flamboyant guy that tends to be loud and obnoxious and flails about far too often, yet the two are best friends and I like to think they sneak back to one of their bedchambers sometimes when no one else is looking. England fails at expressing his emotions and Japan is reserved to the point of seeming emotionless. Yet, they're both lonely deep down, and they like each other quite well.

I only have one yuri pairing listed because I only pretty recently started to actively ship yuri.
