What are your favorite things about branpru and lietukr?
briefly speaking — through trial and error I figured I like my ships having historical backing; it just makes stuff much more fun and bloody. Here, this is the case for both — even though the reasons I like one are almost directly opposite to those why I like the other.
I like LietUkr because it’s fucking chill for both; and both actually find comfort and peace in one another, which both Ukraine and Lithuania much deserve after all they’ve been through. Comfort ship🤗
I like BranPru because it’s fucking miserable. How they grapple at eachother’s throats but neither is actually able to let go of another because of the reasons that make both of them sick to their guts from even thinking of it. For what actually brings them closer is a near-obliteration of one and the sheer question of remaining on the political map. The way the power dynamic between them shifts and they way they get attached and get to influence each other so intrinsically neither comes out of it his former self. And neither is able to separate himself from another. It’s not a ship I ship for a healthy stable relationship, neither is capable of that — if it is love, it is amour-propre at best, the enlightment’s violent self-love that stemms out of desire for reckognition from others, desire to be better then them. Brandenburg and Prussia are doomed by the narrative, the narrative existing inside my head but oh well. they also fucking deserve this.
hope that answers
