Demon Days England! 

Inspired by @lofi-tophat’s post on Hetalia characters in the style of popular art/animation of their countries. 

"thousand lifetimes that we passed through

countless pieces of time

two souls coming back home."

the lyrics sound better (more poetic) in Vietnamese btw but the moment i read the lyrics i immediately knew i had to draw APH Ireland & Northern Ireland with this TT ended up drawing the nyo version tho just because.

☆☆☆

ive been listening to this Vietnamese artist's newest album nonstop for like,,, a month now. these are the lyrics of the song "Những đốm sáng" (Sparks) by tlinh if youre interested (⁠｡⁠•̀⁠ᴗ⁠-⁠)⁠✧ (pls listen to her whole album "ái" its rlly good !!)

i also find this particular part fits the redheads but i cant draw them all, so im putting it here so u can imagine it urself ↓

“Wanna join us?”

You know England would get himself with them in a heartbeat!

there’s something intrinsic i love about comparing usuk to romanticized symbolism throughout the history of the western world.

i love comparing arthur and alfred to adam and eve. adam the original man, and eve, his ‘helper’ who propels him even further through impulsive action - no matter the good or bad outcome, both down that spiral they shall go.

i love the symbolism behind calling england the ancient greek wife of america’s ancient rome. eg in the statement by [i think] Harold Macmillan that the British found “the Americans much as the Greeks found the Romans”. this repetition of history that can be seen again and again in the west… i love it!! one party becoming powerful in the beginning, only to be overtaken by a younger nation who eventually grows to become so obsessed with them [as seen how romantically infatuated the Romans were with Greek art, culture, land and women].

or the old and the new; i love that “in God’s good time, the New World, with all its power and might, [might step] forth to the rescue and the liberation of the old” is embedded into the nature of the special relationship’s foundation [no matter if you agree with the legitimacy of such concept or not]. the idea that old ideas and new ones can help each other and protect each other. they don’t have to be at odds. they can save each other…

or also how it was an English engineer who redesigned the inventive nature of fuel cells, a step of innovation and invention necessary to convert fuel into energy and successfully propel the Apollo missions forward and have American men stepping foot on the moon. English invention literally helped propel America to the moon!!! England helped push America’s ambitions forward, and British encouragement helped bring his spacetime dreams to life in abundant glory!!

yo, i just really really love symbolic usuk. damn.

it’s such a powerful ship.

Having moment where I think so hard about fictional character but there is no new content and I don’t feel like doing anything so I am just sitting here vibrating at maximum speed rotating said character in my mind
