County Clare!
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.
I talked about léines the other day and It inspired me to update his look(only little changes nothing major)
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’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)
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.
I finally made an America design! Woo!
I’m thinking about writing and posting my Éire hcs here, because I have an entire list that I still need to finish writing.
Lordship of Ireland/Tiarnas na hÉireann!
