I'm.. just reading the article and I have TEARS IN MY EYES. this is bloody ridiculous..to cry over NEWS..and I am British and should have the best interest of the country on mind but.. THIS IS TOO CRUEL. Much too cruel and my heart is breaking right now.... On the BBC website there was also an older article and I found this quote there:

Britain has declined from being the master, to being a rival, to being a partner and now to being perhaps simply useful.

....this just really, really hurts. God, that's what obsession with a pairing does to you.

Don't worry! I got a bit upset over it too. I'm too manly for tears though. *Back pat* Don't let a bit of real life news bring down how fun pairing Alfred and Arthur should be, ya dig? C:

AND I'M SORRY, I'M FAILING TO COMFORT YOU BECAUSE YOUR ICON IS JUST TOO GREAT. ||orz

Wait wait... Which land mass is he licking? OAO -Fail-

[smart-chan.livejournal.com]

LOL yeah I absolutely love the icon ...I mean we all know that Iggy loves Florida, especially in Plymouth xDD (...one of his big port cities..and one that I live really close to as well. Always bloody wet in there XDDD)

...and it's making it all the worse that my Alfred is away and I can't just go and huggle and wait for him (her.xD) to say that everything is fine and that this is just going to pass -> I am so glad that so many people are commenting on it here though it makes me feel slightly better.

Yeah. not manly at all here.

[tehd.livejournal.com]

;A; This is rather funny how you say your Alfred is away... I'm most weakened because my Arthur isn't around. (10AM really isn't so lively over here, though, it's understandable.)

But it IS very comforting that people are commenting on this here.. I-It's making de-lurking/being shy a bit easier on me... >A>;;

Unfortunetly it's also distracting me from writing properly, but I guess I can't have 'em all! xD

[chiisana00.livejournal.com]

WAIT WHAT?! THAT'S FLORIDA?!

-FALLS OFF CHAIR LAUGHING-

BRB NEED TO GET MY BREATH BACK!!

...

You know what, I'm stealing your icon xF I've always though the background land mass was his own county or America, but the shape weren't right and I couldn't make out what 'FL' means xD

I hope mod won't delete the post/comments D: I think it's quite a nice uhh.. discussion here? Tho I'm pretty much the one to stir up entire drama *-* Overreact + Impulse = doesn't go well together.

this is bloody ridiculous..to cry over NEWS..

and I couldnt sleep at night but I didnt cry oh no D:

but when I woke up I thought everything was a nightmare

anyway I agree with the other people's comment.... even if it looks like they are breaking up they just have a lot of things on common to just break up like that... this come from political affairs (it cant be helped since they are countries)....

besides usaxuk hetalia fandom has a lot of things good I cant just give up like that

Britain has declined from being the master, to being a rival, to being a partner and now to being perhaps simply useful.

yeah I remember that line.... he's usually described as a slap dog... the poor iggy (and it seems it was affecting other countries' view on him)

ok enough of the depressing talk is time to go on with life and fandom!

[kuromitsu.livejournal.com]

Eh, people, don't get upset. >__> People are making a mountain out of a mole hill again.

I mean, really, we're sort of having a party in the comm? (Well, not me because I'm working, but yeah.) Why let an article like that ruin the mood? If RL relations between the two countries worry you so much, here, read this. (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/politics/3264169.stm) That's tsundere x tsundere for you. These two will never have a quiet and peaceful relationship. :3

[chiisana00.livejournal.com]

<3 you for that xD

[kanami-yuuta.livejournal.com]

yeah I swear I'm gonna make a poster out of that XD

[kuromitsu.livejournal.com]

You can keep on drawing it on the wall as time goes on. :D Today it's not so good. But then something happens and it skyrockets! And then it plunges again... but it's up again! and so on. XDD

[kanami-yuuta.livejournal.com]

XD I hope that near my death is up

[kisaragifan.livejournal.com]

You can has comfort hug?

*hugs*

[smart-chan.livejournal.com]

...I officially love the community right now *hugs back*
..even with all its evil corners and hurtful things that I sometimes encounter... it makes me a whole lot better. ...we should be celebrating the one year anniversary and NOT get depressed over this *sob xd*

*hugs back* thank you~

Dude, after that older article, the US ambassador to the UK basically described the US/UK relationship like that of a strong marriage that has its little tiffs but still stay strong. XD

[ihatesasuke.livejournal.com]

Aww~ Don't worry about it! As I see it the Special Relationship is more about our culture, values and the relationship between the people of the countries rather than the politics/politicians. It's on a completely different level in my eyes.
As one of your own British compatriots put it:

"I have posted my strong views about the ’special relationship’ before, and still stand by them.

Our special relationship is with the American people not the few turds who sometimes turn up in their political life.

A great many Americans are of British stock, and are proud of that. This does affect the way they think about us.

I remember, with no small emotion, my brother as a Royal Marine Coxswain on a landing craft on the Normandy beaches.

He took many US troops onto the beach, and recalled how his craft had to push through a mass of dead American soldiers floating in the sea, in order to reach the landing point.

My older brother served in the desert and then went on to Scicily, Italy and the South of France. He too spoke of the friendliness and generosity of our American allies.

I remember the kindness and generosity of the Americans in the UK, when we had to manage on meagre rations and no real luxuries. And before you ask, no I did not have a young sister or young mother to attract such generosity. They were genuine friends.

These were simply decent young people who felt distressed at our lack of the things they considered as basics.

Those are the memories that sustain my special relationship.

Certainly I have met the odd badass on my travels, but we have our share of those too.

As far as our Governments go, I believe we should be standing up for ourselves if we consider that we are being asked to do something that is not in the best interests of the UK.

We should be prepared to continue sharing intelligence and aiding with our bases, but as an equal, not a minor partner.

We currently have a situation with a President who seems to have a beef about the British. Some say that it reaches back to his grandfather in Kenya. I don’t know the truth of that, but I would remind people that the British troops in Kenya at that time were fighting an evil secret society called the Mau Mau.

This Mau Mau, after performing thier “magic” oath taking, would visit outlying farms and kill the whole family of white people and their livestock. Women and children received no mercy from this scum.

If the Brits killing off the Mau Mau is the root of Obama’s beef, then he is diminished in the eyes of other decent people.

Making ill-considered remarks about Americans in general is not helpful. We have enough enemies in the world, and we do need to maintain that friendship with America.

Presidents and politicians come and go. We will no doubt have future ones who are more kindly disposed to us, but we have to stand on our own feet as allies, and be the true friend who sometimes has to tell them when something just isn’t right.

That really is a special relationship.

Owd Al"

Touching story I picked up from stalking the Telegraph and different blogs. Thought I'd share to make other people happy. :3

[ekazoo.livejournal.com]

... I feel so much better after reading that. Thank you for sharing it :) /hugs

And it's completely right in many ways; presidents and politicians do come and go. But the Special relationship was always beyond politics for me. I have no doubt that the article will be forgotten in a few days, and they'll be one replacing it with a much more positive outlook. Tsun tsun dere dere? Haha.

[ihatesasuke.livejournal.com]

Good! -hugs back- :D
It made me feel better too. ^^

Exactly, and people don't seem to realize that the special relationship revolves around a lot more than just politics. The people themselves, are what make this 'special relationship' real. =]
Haha, yes~ very tsun tsun dere dere, but that's Alfred and Arthur for you~ x3

I can't just help but agree with you. [the obsession, I mean.]

But to me, because I'm half British and half American, it sometimes feel like my parents just had a break-up/divorce thingy.

My mom's sort of, well, I think she is, upset about it.
