Wales was the one who thought about creating a Celtic club for the Celtic nations to hang out, share culture and protect their culture. Ireland thought that was great and helped him co-found the club.

The club is called the Celtic League. It includes Wales, Ireland, Scotland, Cornwall, Brittany, sometimes Northern Ireland and Sometimes Nova Scotia. But Nova Scotia rarely can join due to being very far.

England and France are both banned from it.

Activities can include music jam, dancing although Ireland is a pro at it, food exchange, drinking, lot of drinking. Gaelic football and Rugby. Highland Games.

They usually speak their own language but with some, it's difficult because they aren't mutually intelligible but Wales is usually a great translator.

Wales usually hosts the meetings since he's in the middle. Maybe 60% of the time. 30% it's Ireland and the last 10% is shared between the rest.

Various art shit, you’re welcome babes ❤️

1) Im a sucker for demon Vene rather than angel Vene, also obvious good omens inspired lmao

2) I looooooove the idea of Germany having a mini schnauzer! I did a poll on my other blog and the name Pretzel won! I based her personality on the mini schnauzer I had, Sir Lewis. Talkative, very loyal, a massive cuddler, abandonment and anxiety issues. I think Germany adopted her from a (verified) show dog breeder for the purpose of going on different kinds of hunts with him and Prussia, but in the long run it didn’t work out because Germany may have neglected to train her properly and spoiled her far more than he meant to. So her job is exactly like the other three dogs; a cuddly lap dog.

3) Not many notes here. Just transmasc Romano and I think Romano got a perm in the past as an attempt to bring back his once VERY curly hair because he honestly missed it. He gave up in the 90s lol

4) Redrew the old line up for the British Isles family! Very slight redesigns too! I think the canon uk bros designs are nice but also idc, I’ll draw these uk bros all the time instead 👀

Day Three - Betrayal

The history between Cornwall, Dumnonia and Wessex is pretty messy and confusing, as far as I've been able to see. Dumnonia (known as Dumnones back then) had been around since roughly before the arrival of the Romans, living in the south-eastern part of Great Britain. I haven't yet completely figured out when Cornwall appeared, it was probably during Roman Britain but his origins are a bit muddled for me since apparently three different Celtic tribes in Great Britain decided to go by Cornovii!! Well he was probably of the Cornovii tribe that was a sub-tribe to the Dumnones tribe... I still need to work out the details of this. Wessex was born after Rome left Great Britain. But of course, his origins also confusing! He was an Anglo-Saxon kingdom... but his founder Cerdic had a Celtic Brythonic name? And some of his alleged descendants after him also had Celtic names?? It's brought up a few questions about how Wessex came to be, maybe he was a Celtic-Saxon hybrid kingdom that eventually became more Germanic over time? At least, the argument can be made that Cerdic and his family were most likely native Celtic Britons, even if Wessex would later try to rewrite that part of his history and try to pretend his founder was a Saxon.

In any case, I can very well imagine Wessex coming into existence being both a Celtic Briton and a Saxon, though over time he thought less and less of his Celtic roots. He coexisted with his neighbouring Celtic kingdoms, until the day in the 6th century he decided he wanted to expand his territories. He turned on Dumnonia and would fight her for several decades for control of her lands. Dumnonia initially was able to fight him off, but little by little, Wessex gained control of her lands and around 813-822, it's thought that Dumnonia fell. Cornwall for a short time survived as a rump state of what was Dumnonia's territory, but he too would start to be invaded in the 880s by Wessex. No written records from this time say when exactly Dumnonia and Cornwall lost their independence to Wessex. We only have small glimpses of records showing Wessex fighting the Dumnonians and the Cornish and then later glimpses of these territories being assimilated into Wessex's kingdom. We don't know if written records did exist and were destroyed/lost to time, or they simply were never written down. It does seem odd though, having nothing official from Wessex confirming his successful conquest of Dumnonia.

In terms of what happened to the personifications, Dumnonia was eventually killed by Wessex. Kind of. She was reborn into Devon, an English county who has no memories of having been a Briton Celt originally. Her only Celtic legacy is her name. Cornwall was spared when he was conquered, but seeing what he would have to go through in the later centuries, we could ask if it was a kindness on the part of Wessex. I wonder if my choice of the theme "betrayal" is a bit flimsy here, since Wessex's contact to his Celtic roots seems also pretty flimsy. But I liked the sketch too much to let it go, so I stuck to it. Besides, I do think the theme of "betrayal" suits Wessex pretty well, if my interpretation of his later mass-fratricide of the other Anglo-Saxon kingdoms is something to go by.

Do you have any more Cornwall headcanons?😜🥰

Hi anon!!! I'm so happy you've taken an interest in my OC, it's been so long since I've posted abt Cornwall so some headcanons may be repeated. But i don't remember ever actually posting a list of hcs, so ig i'll do that now!

CORNWALL HEADCANONS

Cornwall's human name is Elowen Tretheway. In the past she was made to go by Ellie Kirkland. She changed her name back to the true Cornish some time in the 20th century the Cornish language revival began in 1907 and is still ongoing.

She is actually one of the oldest siblings, her exact age is still something I haven't figured out yet, but i think she would've at least been around by 400ad. (I am no historian and i don't claim to be)

Elowen is the best baker of the family imo, since Cornwall is known for its beloved pastries.

She has a Dobermann dog called Breydhik. Given she only stands at 5'/150cm, that dog is nearly half her size

Cornwall is a bit of a hoarder, her life is so much calmer now and she hates letting go of trinkets from her days adventuring.

She's especially proud of her days as a pirate, she was captain of her ship, though england won't admit that. She loves sharing stories of her past, Sealand especially thinks they're the coolest. Ever.

Elowen & Arthur's relationship has always been a bit strained, for various reasons throughout the years. But it begins with Cornwall alliancing with Denmark in the viking era.

Despite how much she and Arthur bicker, independence is not a goal of Elowen's right now nor is it in the near future. Her main goal is to get her former nation status back. She doesn't appreciate just being dismissed as a beach holiday destination.

Elowen considers Wales to be her closest friend. They have always had a strong bond due to their shared history. They can be a little obnoxious together, Elowen definitely brings out a lowder & more rebellious side to Dylan.

Cornwall is missing an eye, she lost it during a brutal battle in her pirate days. She covers it up with with an eyepatch, but she's also comfortable enough to go without it.

Elowen has a pixie friend called Tamsin, and she has a strong connection to magic like her brothers.

She is fat, and proudly identifies with the term. She's the type of woman to loudly proclaim words like "plus-sized" etc are stupid, just call her fat!

She loves food, nice or bad food she loves it. I already mentioned cornish pastries, but it's also known for clotted cream, and ofc fish and chips being coastal. But... that fish head pie is from Cornwall, and is essentially exclusive to Cornwall.
