He is!
also I love the fact that your Montserrat is Ireland’s adoptive kid, I’ve never seen anyone do that before.
Montserrat! and also another British territory right next to him.
TW: Blood!
Ireland, who’s not looking so good.
I actually plan on remaking the drawing now so you’ll be able to see the remake I do! Oh I really loved it honestly and still do, I just remember being so excited to see the Celtic Nations as I never saw anybody write them much especially all of them. Anyways I’ll stop talking now before I write like a paragraph on accident. You’re a good writer I will say :D
So if anyone remembers when I talked about how I joined the Countryhumans fandom and the tags on that post, I said that I drew fanart of one of the scenes of a one-shot I liked.
That one-shot I made fanart of was called “Hawaii and the Celtic Nations” which was written by Weirdestarrow. I don’t know why I drew fanart, I could’ve actually just commented on the one-shot but I just thought at the time “what if I drew fanart to show my love for this one-shot” and so me at the time did exactly that!
Which I never even posted the fanart ever and I unfortunately don’t have it anymore because I deleted it (as I didn’t like the way I drew it and I didn’t like my art style at the time either)
Blood that spills! Basically I drew when England slit Éire’s neck in the 1600s
I’ve mentioned this before in a post way back in the tags that I never could decide what Ireland’s gender would be. So let’s talk about that. I mean my first ever design I gave him was a girl because I just wanted him to be a girl that was my only reasoning.
But when I was going to design the lordship of Ireland, I didn’t quite like the idea of the lordship being a girl and just couldn’t imagine it. So this then made me change Éire to a boy! I went back and forth on his gender because while I imagined the lordship as a guy I couldn’t imagine the kingdom as a man.
At one point I actually made the lordship, the kingdom, and Éire(from the 1800s-present time) all different people.
This lasted from December of 2022 to February of 2024. Finally after so long, I just said fuck it and made Éire the same person from throughout the centuries. Just know he isn’t cis because that makes my life oh so much easier and I quite like the head canon of him not being cis.
The funniest thing I find is while I struggled with Éire’s gender, I never did with Northern Ireland’s. I did once make N.I a woman but I changed him to be a man as I preferred it and that was it.
I had no idea that people made Gaelic Ireland as a person, which makes no sense either as well, I’m surprised no one ever looked into what Gaelic Ireland was when making them a person. I actually have seen people personify Ancient Greece but I haven’t seen that in years so that might’ve changed now. I sometimes feel as if people just don’t want to look into anything because if they did then I suppose they wouldn’t have that in the first place.
I have no clue what to title this but you know something that has always confused me? It’s when I’ve seen people make Éire’s parent the IRA(Irish Republican Army), or the IRB(Irish Republican Brotherhood) OR OR SOMETIMES JUST HIMSELF?? LIKE ÉIRE BEING IRELAND’S PARENT DESPITE “ÉIRE” IS JUST IRELAND’S NAME IN GAEILGE.
I wish to understand why I’ve seen some people make Éire’s parent or parents those people.
Also wouldn’t Éire need to exist first before the IRA and also the IRB to exist? And it’s not like I’ve seen these people mention another Ireland personification before that Ireland.
I don’t know it just confuses me
I actually have some headcanons with Canada! there isn’t much because I don’t really write him that much as I know more and focus on Éire and some others but here’s what I have for Canada!
1 - No one knows what his face looks like, he keeps his face rather hidden in the amount of clothes he wears. He loves being mysterious.
2 - He has broken vocal cords, no one (minus Britain and Canada himself) knows how or why his vocal cords are broken. Due to this Canada doesn’t speak that much anymore.
3 - Canada knows British sign language, American Sign Language and Québec Sign Language.
4 - The Canadian provinces and territories are not his kids but they are related in some way.
I need to draw my design of Canada sometime I have a good idea in my head on what he looks like. Anyway that’s all! Slán!
I know I said awhile back I was going to do Éire hcs but I actually finished N.I’s before him. so N.I it is!
1 - Northern Ireland is blind and deaf. He was born deaf, but became blind during WWII when a bomb blew up in his face.
(He did die from that! However he came back to life due to he isn’t disappearing anytime soon)
2 - He has a dog. He loves her a lot.
3 - Northern Ireland refuses to see Ireland and Britain as his parents. He doesn’t want anything to do with them and he’ll only talk to them if necessary.
(However he is close to some people on Éire’s side of the family. Those people being Down, Fermanagh, Antrim, Londonderry/Derry, Armagh, and Tyrone. He also sometimes talks to the other counties. N.I and Wexford don’t get along though.
He isn’t close to anyone on Britain’s side)
4 - When he became blind he needed help to get around, so county Fermanagh helped him out the most! Fermanagh stills helps Northern Ireland to this day.
5 - Northern Ireland had a twin, whose name was Southern Ireland. The two were quite close but were opposites in many ways.
6 - He’s bicurious
