[Pinch hit - fanart] Forever united here somehow

Title: Forever united here somehow
Artist: socialholic 
Recipient: anya_urameshi 
Rating/ Warnings: G
Summary: The original prompt was a song called My Life Would Suck Without You by Kelly Clarkson
Notes: I'm cutting it close to the deadline again haha, sorry for that! Aksdfjl I would've wanted to do so much more for this prompt, like a short comic or something, but after I had drawn this and tried to make a kind of introduction comic for the pic (telling the story behind it) I just couldn't come up with anything OTL. And, uh, time kind of caught up BUT ANYWAY, aaaaah this was a great prompt because even before it I've thought of drawing a "songart" for this particular song because it just... it really reminds me of America and England too :D. So, choosing the song from the three prompts wasn't hard but GOSH, it took me ages to finally decide what to draw because the song has so many delicious parts I'd have loved to draw. I decided to go with a pic, in which I tried to include the whole story of the song. Haha I don't know if I succeeded though. STILL, I hope you enjoy it anya_urameshi, and Merry (a bit late) Christmas and a Happy New Year!! I hope everyone else will enjoy it too!


What lead to this scene - America and England had been fighting, again, stomping away at some point during the fight, and both saying things they didn't really mean, or at least started to regret after calming down and being able to think rationally again. Both are alone and think about the fight and realise how much they actually miss each other already and how "I found out I'm nothing without you". But they're both too stubborn and proud to simply call the other and apologize, so they come up with some other way to show they're sorry - America buys a huge bouquet of roses and heads back to England's house, while England starts baking biscuits for America.

Then the doorbell rings.

My Life Would Suck Without You
by Kelly Clarkson

Guess this means you're sorry
You're standing at my door
Guess this means you take back
All you said before
Like how much you wanted
Anyone but me
Said you'd never come back
But here you are again

'Cause we belong together now, yeah
Forever united here somehow, yeah
You got a piece of me
And honestly,
My life (my life) would suck (would suck) without you

Baby I was stupid for telling you goodbye
Maybe I was wrong for tryin' to pick a fight
I know that I've got issues
But you're pretty messed up too
Either way, I found out I'm nothing without you

'Cause we belong together now, yeah
Forever united here somehow, yeah
You got a piece of me
And honestly,
My life (my life) would suck (would suck) without you

Being with you
Is so dysfunctional
I really shouldn't miss you
But I can't let you go
Oh yeah

'Cause we belong together now, yeah
Forever united here somehow, yeah
You got a piece of me
And honestly,
My life (my life) would suck (would suck) without you

'Cause we belong together now, yeah
Forever united here somehow, yeah
You got a piece of me
And honestly,
My life (my life) would suck (would suck) without you
 

(There were honestly so many lines in the song I could have chosen to put into the pic, but that particular line, the name of the song, it just.. really told everything.)

D'awwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!! I love England's smile. It's so rare to find pictures of him really smiling. I don't know that it would happen often, but I bet they're real shiners when they do!

[socialholic.livejournal.com]

Thank youuu ♥ haha I know exactly what you mean, I really love England's smiles too and it's a shame he doesn't show those more often (although, now that I think about it, I guess he's smiling in most of the pictures I've drawn xD;; whoops haha).

Oh this is just absolutely perfect! You did such an amazing job capturing so much in their expressions that it really helped the "story" of the song you were trying to tell. The coloring and scenery is great too! (I see that Gryffindor colored scarf on your shelf, England!) and it's just so beautiful and colorful!

Aaaaahhhh as always, your art completely makes me wibble with happy warm fuzzies~! ♥ ♥ ♥

Skfjdlsk thank you so so much ;u; ♥♥♥ your comments always manage to make me feel better if I've been uncertain of my art and and yeah, you once again made my day ♥. Aaah I'm so glad you think the expressions help telling the story! I personally love it how expressions are able to, well, express so much and I think capturing the right expression is so so so important in a pic so-- when you say I managed to capture so much in their expressions, it means the whole world to me ♥ thank you.

(HAHA of course England would have a Gryffindor colored scarf on his shelf teehee ;D)

Skdflj thank you, your comments always make me feel that same way >u< ♥♥.

Eee~ so cute ♥! As usual, this is gorgeous, dear~ ♥! Your art is always so detailed (i see what you did there in the storage room 8);; ) and expressive. Love America's hoodie and England's charcoal smeared cheek 8)... p-please don't tell me i'm just imagining that... it's adorable. ;;; ♥

[socialholic.livejournal.com]

Thank youuuu >u< ♥♥ ! HAHA I love details so much :'D that's why my drawings are usually full of them (almost too full fff). Teehee you're not imagining it ♥ thank you so much, your comment made my smile rather goofily :'D!

This is just so amazing and so cute! Add England's (rare) and absolutely adorable smile to the mix and I'm not sure if you haven't managed to bake one of the cutest pics I've ever seen. ♥♥
I love the backstory to the picture and especially the brown smoking mass of poison (read: cookies) that England is holding and the little smudge on his cheek he probably got from baking them. I also love that America is kissing him almost exactly on that spot.
It's just so them, aaah!

I know it looks like I'm stalking you, but I swear that it just always so happens that when you post, I check my friend's page. I blame (thank) the almost identical time zone, haha.

[socialholic.livejournal.com]

Skdflj THANK YOU SO MUCH ♥♥ d-don't flatter me you >////< I'm getting all flustered here!
Aaah I'm so so happy and glad you like the story and all those details (isn't it ironic that they look so happy in the picture even though America will probably face one of the most horrible ordeals in the world soon after the hug, when England makes him taste one piece (read: cookie) of that brown smoking mass of poison :'DD). THE SMUDGE. I so love adding random details like that and eeeh I'm so happy you like the fact that America is kissing him almost exactly on that spot >u< ♥.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOU AWESOMER THAN AWESOME COMMENT ♥♥♥.

OH I SO KNEW YOU WERE STALKING ME >8/;;;. Fff haha yeah, I'm so happy there's at least one amazing person who's in the almost identical time zone with me :DD ♥
