Why do you ship EngIta? Or how did you start shiping them?
Don't mean to sound rude, i'm just curious lol :3c
Even though I already answered the second question in another post, I am going to take this opportunity to assume my role as (self-proclaimed) engita attorney & lay out my statements about why it is the supreme pairing involving both a*h italy & a*h england.
In the slang of the fallen before me- the engita/itaeng is what you may refer to as “endgame.” Here I will lay out my points:
*Warning, these are the ramblings of a madman. everything written here is purely speculation about two people that are actually countries that don’t actually exist. Also there’s some talk about canon content in here but this is largely talk about the personalities of these characters rather than canon interaction/history*
When considering these two, there are chief contrasts: 1 easygoing v. 1 uptight; 1 optimist v. 1 pessimist; 1 blunt v. 1 polite (typically); 1 flighty v. 1 grounded; 1 rainy climate v. 1 sunny climate, etc., etc.
Yet, they are similar in some key ways since they are both: emotional, artistic, creative, passionate, & foodies. & awful.
Since their similarities lie in an area of vulnerability & self-expression their initial contrasts create an opportunity for mutual character development.
Where Arthur can learn to experiment with his creativity, let his guard down & take things more lightly,
Feliciano can learn to become more grounded & practical as well as navigate through “negative” emotions (I like to picture this as him getting into the punk scene but that’s just me).
In analyzing these two characters, there seem to be a few features that can make or break a potential (healthy) romantic relationship for each.
For one, I imagine, Arthur would benefit from an encouraging partner who is not run by the ego since he already has enough ego for at least 2 parties. While he finds bickering fun, that man is a sensitive soul: exhibit A. the sad drunk at the bar. He is also easily offended & insecure, a clear sign of instability in his character & uncertainty in his abilities. Too often in this mainstream is he placed with people who literally hate him & insult!
Then, the Feliciano. This bitch has a lot of love to give & is the manic pixie dream-boy of everyone’s fantasy. While relationship issues may stem from his himbo nature, my main issue here is with the sheer MISUSE of this man in relationships that are one-sided & borderline toxic (I hate that word but I can’t think of a better one).
While one could argue that engita would indeed fall into this category, I would retort that Arthur is too pussy to seriously ice someone out (unless they did something drastic, which is for some edgy fanfiction writer to figure out and not me) & Feliciano doesn’t like to hurt people (unless it’s Mussolini, amirite. don’t look up the footage it’s actually on youtube).
Feliciano would be a great person to break down Arthur’s barriers & just as easily Arthur would reciprocate his emotions- if not publicly @ first then surely in private.
…What? No. I am not accepting this as evidence against my point about them not being-…OBJECTION!
Anyway that image aside if you put the two in a breakfast club-esque scenario where they’re stuck with one another for an afternoon they would get past their initial prejudgments of one another. After all, there are things they already admire in one another: exhibit b. that one comic strip about the art or whatever u know what I mean.
Now I’m just going to rapid-fire some really just amazing & outstanding points:
- Um, they have two big ass families they can bond over having
- Peter & Feliciano would get along 😻
- Shared interest in the arts
- one baD cook one gOod cook LOL!
- Compatible zodiac signs ♉️♓️
- Language/Culture barrier but it’s cute
- Don’t know how to pronounce one another’s names properly but it’s cute -> leads to use of pet names
- mutual nicotine & caffeine addictions…. but its. that’s not a good point actually
- both romanticize things so they can be in their own little delusional world together
- aph japan function as mutual bestie 🤷♀️
- the fem versions of them are both named Alice & they canonically hate one another 👩❤️💋👩 what chemistry!
- Mutual love for being/living near a body of water
- arthur garden plants that feliciano can use in his cooking hhuhhhhh
Okay, I need to go take an Engita detox now. Hope you’re convinced.
