”Say, when you look into a mirror, you expect to see yourself. Right?”
My name is Geiléis! I am Irish and Indigenous American. My pronouns are She/Her.
I post about Countryhumans, Statehumans, maybe even my ocs too. Irish and Hawaiian history is my absolute favourite and I could talk about both for hours on end!
Oh and you can ask me stuff!
I’m honestly very shocked at the attention the Éire drawing has gotten, I genuinely didn’t think many people would see it, let alone two of my inspirations. Go raibh maith agat and have a lovely day or night! :D
I’ll have another drawing up here soon! And if you would like you can suggest things for me to draw!(as long it’s SFW)
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.
Kingdom of Mide/Southern Uí Néill aka Éire’s father!
An animatic about Northern Ireland and Southern Ireland who is now very much dead
That’s what I’ll call this! But anyway, what I really wanna say is thank you all so much! The joy and excitement it brings me whenever I see people like or reblog my art. it always motivates me to keep doing what I love the most which is art and also writing. Thank you all so much, I appreciate you all.
Oh and to the one mutual I have here, I don’t know if you see us as mutuals I know we don’t really talk that much, but still thank you so much (again). whenever I see you like or reblog my art it makes me so happy! Another thing I must say is I love your writing, you’re an amazing author.
Baile Átha Cliath or Dublin is a very fun character for me to write(as I’ve written her quite a lot I’d say). I talked about to this a friend of mine but I wanted to share it here!
Dublin is quite full of herself due to the fact she holds the capital in her county, Éire accidentally making her believe she was the Kingdom of Dublin, and that she gets to go with Éire to wherever he goes and be in the public eye sometimes.
Dublin feels special because of that. Also time to bring in the fact that she wants be like her father in a way. Whenever Éire was gone, she took the lead because she wanted to be like him and be a leader. Northern Ireland has brought up that fact that Dublin seems to act like Éire in I think “The girls are fighting!” one-shot.
She tries to act like Éire because she also thinks people will like her more and that she will become Éire’s favourite child. She wants Éire’s attention especially when he started distancing himself from the counties in the 19th century all the way up to the early 20th century.
Dublin hasn’t talked to Éire about how she(and the other counties) feel about him distancing himself from them even if it was in the past and he’s apologised for it. It hurt the counties a lot.
That is all! Slán!
Éire in the 1800s! I don’t really like this drawing but I spent a lot of time on it so I don’t want to delete it.
