Puppet on strings!
An animatic about Northern Ireland and Southern Ireland who is now very much dead
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.
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.
Kingdom of Mide/Southern Uí Néill aka Éire’s father!
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!
Have these little writings I made while drawing currently
