[ Hello, Discedians. It's been far too long since we had Drawing Adventures with Hong Kong, hasn't it? Since we're overdue for more, here we go. This time, it's a special occasion!

Okay, it's a little past due, but Hong Kong had a few other things on his mind when this was relevant. So now you get to go on a lovely adventure with him.

And… if you're a young'n, you might want to look away. Pretend this is a picture of bunnies and butterflies frolicking through a field of pretty flowers!

What it actually is, is some slightly questionable artwork of… England.

Yeah, Hong Kong is that shameless. He already got Japan, so his not-dad is apparently next on The List.

The first of these is a lovely and mostly subtle image of England with Portugal. Well, you'd only know that if you know Portugal, because most of the features are obscured, except for one or two key ones. C'mon, there's so much… UST.

No, there's no UST like the next drawing. The two kings of UST, no matter what France says about America. This is the best one, because it has the most attention to detail (and is probably the most explicit, since France would surely like that). Following that is one of England with Spain, though this one is again a little sketchy. Hong Kong doesn't really hang out with Spain a lot.

Or ever, really.

There's a definite pause here, like he's trying to decide what next. Oh, how about lady France? She was pretty cool. He considers lady England, but first, that's almost too much, and second, she'd probably find a way to kill him dead. Sorry dad, he's way more afraid of her. :'| ]

happy birthday. any other requests?

[ Isn't he just. So beautifully cryptic. ]

It sounds overly complicated.

[video]

[bauhinia]

It's just history.

[video]

[eyeforaneye]

History is also often more complicated than it seems.

[video]

[bauhinia]

Tell me about it. Everyone sees it differently, for one thing.

[video]

[eyeforaneye]

Exactly. The perception of one can differ vastly from that of another.

[video]

[bauhinia]

So I'm guessing my perception of "family's" pretty different to yours.

[video]

[eyeforaneye]

[ There's a pause. ]

It seems so.

[video]

[bauhinia]

Mine's not really connected by blood, y'know?

[video]

[eyeforaneye]

Blood is more important than anything else.

[video]

[bauhinia]

What if you don't have any? [ He hasn't really had occasion to give this too much thought. ]

[video]

[eyeforaneye]

In your case you still have those that are similar enough to you to call family, don't you?

[video]

[bauhinia]

Yeah, that's how we define it, I guess.

[video]

[eyeforaneye]

Then in your case that is what you would call "blood".

[video]

[bauhinia]

I always thought that was cheating, kinda.

[video]

[eyeforaneye]

Then what would you call it?

[video]

[bauhinia]

I dunno if there's a good word for it.

[video]

[eyeforaneye]

It requires your understanding, not mine.

[video]

[bauhinia]

That's true, isn't it? I guess I oughta work on that.

[video]

[eyeforaneye]

It's surprising that you wouldn't have thought of it beforehand.

[video]

[bauhinia]

I'm sure I have, but I guess I never decided how I felt.

[video]

[eyeforaneye]

About your family? Or how you relate to one another?

[video]

[bauhinia]

[ Too smart, Sasuke. ] A little of both, I guess.

[video]

[eyeforaneye]

You've had a lot of time. You should determine your priorities.

[video]

[bauhinia]

Isn't it kinda that I've had a lotta time for my priorities to change? [ He's just being a smart aleck, but it's pretty much true. ]

[video]

[eyeforaneye]

Even regarding family?
