Who can say goodbye to his love
Okay, so I am officially insane. I have never, ever shared any of my fanart before. (Just so you know, I don't draw very often, and usually I hate everything I do draw. But this one I had to share simply so I could use the lyrics. ♥ And to those who are not into Hetalia: download this song. It's a Scandinavian folklore and the most beautiful you'll ever hear.)
Title: Vem kan segla förutan vind
Author/Artist: yours truly
Character(s) or Pairing(s): Sweden, implied Sweden/Finland
Rating: PG
Warnings: angst
Summary: After the 1809 Finnish War, Sweden comes home only to find it empty.
Who can sail without the wind,
Who can row without oars,
Who can say goodbye to his love,
Without just one tear to pour?
I can sail without the wind,
I can row without oars,
But I cannot say goodbye to my love,
Without just one tear to pour.
A/N: I really don't know if I like it or not. I just had to draw that scene - poor Berwald. Also, the lyrics I used there are from a Finnish-Swedish folksong, "Vem kan segla förutan vind" (Who can sail without the wind). It is amazingly beautiful song, and it's so heartbreaking and fits Sweden/Finland so perfectly. Should you want to listen to it, you can find it here. (See, I just had to. ♥)
There's also another version of this drawing, it's not as dark and you can see the blood better, but I don't like it that much so I'll only give a link to it if someone wants to see it.
And one more comment about the Swedish lyrics: I had two notes with the lyrics, and in the other it said "utan att fälja" and in the other, "utan att fälla". I have no idea which is the correct one, or if both of them are, but I ended up using "fälla" - sorry if it's not how it's supposed to say.
Comments are always welcome, as is constructive criticism. :D

I just never manage to color the images the way I'd want them, and then I look at some other manga-colored icons and think, "why do I even bother". Ah, Kimi Ni Todoke - I've been meaning to download the anime, it seems like a really sweet plot.
Yeah - if you're forcing yourself to write, it usually turns out like crap... or at least with me, it does. Usually when I write, my drabbles come out really quickly and I can finish them in an instant, and they're usually the ones I like. But every time I try to write something that takes longer, well, I usually end up getting a writer's block and never finish it. Aww, good luck with your exams sweetie! I think I'll try to participate (even though university will sure as hell keep me busy), but I'll probably stop after managing ~2000 words and that's it. :D;;
I will! I love childhood pairings too, and aww their childhood is just so cute and tragic and bittersweet. I did watch the first episode last week, it was actually pretty good, even though it was a bit, uh, over-the-top with the fighting scenes. XD Ohh yes Gray did look good, I can't wait to see him and hear his voice~ ♥ (Also, I am dreading to hear Erza's voice. I'll kill them (aka the makers of the anime) if it's not absolutely perfect. ...and also, is it just me, or did Gerard look a bit young in the opening?) Is the second episode out yet?
