I'm having FEELINGS about this song again: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LYkHP8nEICw : because it's hecking PERFECT for past England x Belgium.

I hc they genuinely loved each other, but in the end they were heading in different directions and didn't work out. But by god, they loved each other - and though they're still good friends, I think England still feels a bit sad it didn't work out in the end. They're absolutely a: "We could have been"-ship for me. ♥

But also? If the circumstances had been different I actually think they could have worked out too - which makes it even sadder. ♥

Day 6: Pirates and Mermaids for @hwsrarepairweek2022

Here's Engbel! 🇬🇧🇧🇪

While I was making this, I got a fanfic idea for this pairing. Pirate! England is abord the S.S Awesomeness with Prussia as his captain. The crew is short on money, and so Captain Prussia and his crew come up with the idea to hunt mermaids and sell them for money. England is initially on board with the idea, until he is left alone on their base and comes across a beautiful mermaid named Belgium. The two end up talking while Captain Prussia the rest of the crew are out at sea and forming a deep bond with one another. England hasn't told her about his crew's plan, so when Captain Prussia and everyone gets back to the base, it's up to England to keep his case of fishy love a secret.

Again, sorry Day 6 was late, but I hope you guys like it! ❤️

Summary: It's the sight of her dainty hand casually resting atop the Spanish Empire's arm that makes England’s blood boil.

"Careful, Angleterre. Spain as he is now is not someone you want as your enemy."

England roughly shrugged France's hand away and gritted his teeth. "There is a difference between conquering child-colonies and battling a seasoned nation like myself, Frog."

"Marie is almost as old as you," France pointed out, "and as experienced in the ways of the world. As is her brother. And yet, they had not the strength nor the means to stop Spain from collecting them into his empire."

England was about to snap at France's words when he saw Belgae dusting of Spain's doublet, trailing the palms of her hands down his chest and laying them to rest there for far longer then propriety would allow. His snark reply died on the tip of his tongue, seeing green now instead of red.

"She doesn't seem to mind belonging to him, does she?"

France chuckled. "You are so easily fooled, Angleterre. As, no doubt, most men would be. She's merely playing the part of subordinate nation. She may not have the physical strength, but chère Marie has her wits and her charms to get what she wants."

"Correct me if I'm wrong, but you seem pleased with yourself when you say that."

"Well, I might have taught her a trick or two," France said cheerfully.

Day 1: Writer/Artist for the @hwsrarepairweek2022

Gonna be honest, my day was a little chaotic, so I completely forgot about the Rare Pair Week. BUT, with determination and caffeine, I'm kicking this week off with EngBel! 🇬🇧🇧🇪 England writes about his invisible friends often and Belgium creates the cover art for his books! Also, England 100% uses a typewriter (even in modern days) and no one can convince me otherwise.

I wanted to color it in, but I didn't have time to today. Maybe I'll post a colored version some other time. :)
