The Paw On The Window

Pov you're Arthur Kirkland

That song is about them, right?

"Write for yourself"

Brother, I literally have more than 2 million words sitting in my drafts folder instead of posted on AO3.

I write for myself. I post for community interaction.

SAMBUCKY APPRECIATION WEEK | LYRICS/QUOTES ↳ sambucky + tumblr tags bonus:

no normal arts today, just czehia’s dominance

thinking about careers and now I'm sad...I'm imagining nations wanting to have careers of their own, to be doctors, engineers, CEOs, artists...but they have to do their nation job :( of course they love their people, but being born into such a responsibility would really suck (to me anyway)

I get that, I do headcanon though that some nations just said:

"Fuck you, I'm going to become a construction worker for a lifetime, see you never because you'll probably be dead by the time I get back."

And did just that. I also headcanon that the majority have several degrees and trained skillsets, I see Arthur being a very well trained Nurse/Medic and having gotten several bachelor degrees in the humanity (?) field out of curiosity (Philosophy, History (There was a time BEFORE him afterall, AND there's no way he can have known every single thing happening in history throughout his life at once and I see him being curious about what he's missed), etc.)

Alfred's got so many engineering and science degrees and I see Matthew being super invested in marine biology and GEOLOGY particularly, so while they have their nation job, I think many chose to say 'up yours' and went and lived a career anyway, maybe helping a bit with nation work on the side, but not a full-time thing
