Éire!

Just writing up some headcanons for @novadraem because we were chatting about disabilities with countries and I wanted to explain some of mine.

Utah

Utah is deaf but was born hearing. He lost his hearing in the Castle Gate Mine Disaster and has profound hearing loss. He doesn't use hearing aids or anything, preferring to use sign language.

Nevada

Nevada's deafness is lesser than Utah's, although he was born with it. Nevada uses hearing aids and has been searching for a "cure" for his deafness since he was born, although he had kinda given up on that in the modern day.

Bahia

Bahia is deaf and has been since birth. Uses hearing aids, but I don't have much else written about about that.

Ireland

Ireland is blind in his left eye and partially blind in his right, both the results of injuries by Britain and England. He was fully blind for a couple of years, but his right eye healed some so he can see. He needs to wear glasses to help sharpen his remaining vision, but he can't do things like read (small text that is).

He's also in a wheelchair due to a knee injury that prevents him from walking. He uses a white cane with his wheelchair, but sometimes he has an assistant give him oral directions in cases such as being abroad.

England

England sustained a jaw injury during the American Revolution that never healed right, resulting in severe pain whenever he tried to speak. He mainly uses BSL to speak, although if he is made enough he will speak, but it's hard and painful for him to, so he doesn't.

Montserrat!

Puppet on strings!

Canada headcanons

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!

County Clare!

This is what I meant by an unfortunate event.

Okay so finally after like a couple of days of working on this and my art program crashing or lagging every time I wanted to continue drawing this, I have finally finished the fanart!

Oh and I’d like to say that I only made the drawing. The designs don’t belong to me they belong to Alohafromangel. And this is fanart of “Hawaii and the Celtic Nations” which was written by Weirdestarrow. Check them out they’re both amazing writers and artists!

Here’s the art!

Fanart! (Again) :D

It’s been awhile since I’ve posted on tumblr hasn’t it? But I’m back and I’m no longer sick!

Anyways here’s fanart I made like a week ago that I drew(for some reason I forgot to post it??). I challenged myself to draw three fanarts. Fanart for Newlostislands, Weirdestarrow, and Aloha-From-Angel/The Angel Basket! Go check them all out, their writings and art are all amazing.

Have the fanart:

Geiléis talks about Éire’s gender

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 finally made an America design! Woo!
