Northern Ireland whenever the six counties do dumb shit
Lordship of Ireland/Tiarnas na hÉireann!
Geiléis talks about Dublin!
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!
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!
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:
Éire agus Baile Átha Cliath/Ireland and Dublin aka Éire and his favourite child(/j)
I talked about léines the other day and It inspired me to update his look(only little changes nothing major)
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.
Delaware last time I checked you weren't County Clare or a county in Éire
I have Utah as deaf, Nevada as hard of hearing, and one of the Brazilian states as deaf, but no one else so far. Ireland is mostly blind, he has limited vision in his left eye, as well as being in a wheelchair. England is mute due to a jaw injury. That’s all I have off the top of my head rn
Oooo That’s so interesting :0! I love your head canons of who you’ve mentioned so far!
You’re really making me want to make my Northern Ireland deaf
I got so excited when I opened my inbox, anyway I’d love to see that if you do make your Northern Ireland deaf :D!
Hawai’i who should not be trusted with fire ever! He will burn something(and or someone) down.
An animatic about Northern Ireland and Southern Ireland who is now very much dead
Geiléis being confused
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 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.

The drawing still looks like that to me
Have this lovely shitpost I doodled!
Northern Ireland headcanons
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
I’ve been saying that Éire should go to therapy and that I would draw it to a friend of mine. So here that is! Éire actually goes to therapy for the amount of trauma he has.
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.
Geiléis talks about Northern Ireland
I was talking about this the other day to a friend of mine but why not share some of it here?
Northern Ireland is a fun guy to write honestly, because he is different from Ireland and Britain in many ways. He wants to be known as his own person and not a reflection of what Ireland and Britain are or were. Which also plays in part of how he doesn’t want people to know that Ireland and Britain are his parents! He despises that they are his parents.
Northern Ireland just in general doesn’t take shit from people. He refused to stay with Britain in his house in 1921-1922 and lived with one of the the six counties that were now in his land.
That’s all! Now I shall continue to write my N.I headcanons.
