** Erwin Smith sometimes gets this. In the anime and manga he is a badass and [[PragmaticHero pragmatic]] commander who is willing to sacrifice everything for humanity, [[IDidWhatIHadToDo even his principles]]. Though he does [[AFatherToHisMen care about and respect his men greatly]]. In slash fic he turns into an affectionate cuddlebear who dotes on his LoveInterest (most often a likewise ukefied Levi).

** And there's [[CuteBruiser Finland]], too. While his partner and most fan-popular LoveInterest [[SugarAndIcePersonality Sweden]] ''is'' quite taller than him, it doesn't explain why doujinshi and fanwork twist Finland into a little weepy {{Keet}} who may look even younger than ''Sealand'', when Finland's character profile states that he has the look and the attitude of a 20 year old, while Sweden is 21. The way they're drawn in some doujinshis, you'd think they're something closer to [[{{Squick}} 12 and 26]], respectively. Yes, the pair invoke so many Boys Love tropes as is that it's that much easier for fans to {{flanderiz|ation}}e Finland's {{uke}} role along those lines. That's still not an excuse, as the charm of the pairing is seeing a huge guy like Sweden fitting the HouseHusband archetype ''far'' more than the slightly waifish Finland.
