This is a colourization I did of a woman from the Faroe Islands in traditional clothes in 1898. The Faroe Islands are a small group of islands that are under the Kingdom of Denmark.

I'm usually quite a ghost on tumblr (pretty much anywhere, actually) but I was so glad to see your art pop up again on my dash and fav tags that I thought I should leave a little something in your askbox. I always loved your colours, so vivid and refreshing to my eyes, and also the way you draw and colour eyes and hair. I would be very bad at explaining why exactly, but yeah, it soothes this tired soul of mine to see your art 😌 Also, I don't know if I should ask for some art or not? I just thought of the message actually 😅 Plus, you already drew Norway a lot. Maybe people would like to see someone else. Hmm... What about your take on Faroe if you got any?

Oh my, I am also a shy ghost, so I know it takes a lot to go and leave a message to creators- This is so incredibly touching. Thank you!! Truly, I appreciate it. It means a lot to me!

To answer your question: Yes, I do have a take on our boy Føroyar… kind of. And on Åland too! They would be part of the Nordic family, and I have some ideas for them! They aren't that well-developed (I have my hands full reimagining the canon as it is), and I don't know are OCs really something people care about, so I have never talked about them in my blog. But I am always super excited to see other people's takes on these characters! They shift the family dynamic in such fun ways.

Greenland and Sápmi exist as well, but they don't interact with the family as much as these two. Denmark is Greenland's guardian by legality, but they live on the other side of the Arctic Circle. Sápmi is a close family friend, interacting with Norway, Sweden, and Finland. I have always adored @saltlakris's take on Sápmi!

Say halló to the Faroe Islands! He's Norway's and Iceland's half-brother (the other part comes from the Celts), but Denmark operates as his guardian. Growing up, he and Iceland were inseparable, and they're best friends to this day. Faroe is an overall kind and well-behaving kid, but he tests Denmark occasionally with his weirdness. Faroe likes to keep to himself, and others don't see him that often.

Much like Iceland, he's actually a daredevil and adrenaline seeker. He likes working at the Sea to provide for his people. He has more of an active approach to life in general and likes doing physical work. Faroe is relatively passive and known to be fair and reasonable. He's polite and can't seem to hold grudges against people, so sometimes he doesn't know how to stand his ground. He doesn't like to tattle and takes the blame just because he's non-confrontational. However, growing up with the rest of Western Nordics, Faroe can be very pigheaded. He's also moody, speaks loudly, and curses like a sailor. He's a bit slow in the sense that he's out of the loop with trends, and he's usually the last one to laugh at jokes. But when others interpret this as him being dumb, it infuriates him. He might not be book-smart, but he has invaluable practical wisdom. He's skilled and efficient. He still has a lot of maturing to do and should start taking some responsibility. Speaking of which, he's notoriously reckless. He's very relaxed and trusting, so he never locks his doors (which he forgets to do in Denmark's place). He also comes and goes as he pleases, rarely informing anyone in advance. If you're Faroe's friend, don't be surprised to see him standing in your living room unannounced. He's known to be always late, having the worst organizational skills, and he's terrible at calling people back. He doesn't want to cause problems, it's just the way he does things - living in the moment.

He has a heavy accent when talking with others, but he adorably speaks in an old-timey fashion that can sound retro to mainlanders (gøtudanskt). Besides the way he speaks, Faroe also acts old-fashioned, as he's well-mannered and thoughtful with other people. Faroe can also appear more traditional than the rest of the Nordics and values his customs. He lived with Denmark for a long time, almost losing his roots, so he's very protective of his practices and freedom nowadays. He still has his own room in Denmark's place, but he lives on his own most of the time. You'd think Faroe is outdoorsy, but his climate is unwelcoming and harsh on the next level. He has gotten used to it and loves his home, but he doesn't get to host garden parties. Charmingly, he gets excited over common natural sights, such as forests and lakes. While the climate might be unwelcoming, the people are the opposite - That's what he loves about his place, its small communal feel, and lovely people, and that's what he values more than anything.

Being in his late teens, Faroe is at that wonderful age when everything your parent does is embarrassing and annoying, and they just don't get you. He gets annoyed with Denmark all the time, so Faroe storms into his bedroom (softly closing the door), quietly punching the air and finally silently screaming into the pillow. Then he crawls back an hour later when he's called for dinner, acting all normal again. Faroe is such an easy kid that he often gets forgotten by Denmark, who focuses more on repairing his relationship with Iceland and Greenland. Faroe is totally happy to be left on his own. Who would want… attention… or validation from Denmark anyway? Faroe adores Norway and looks up to him, but Norway never seems to have time for him exclusively. Besides Iceland, he gets along nicely with Åland, a fellow seafarer nation. They're both self-governmental islands that get overshadowed by their more prominent family members, so they often exchange those "I know how you feel" looks at the dinner table.

The Faroe Islands and Iceland would consider each other best friends! Besides being related, they have pretty similar cultures and upbringings. They're both young, rural, and have a strange sense of fun - to others' their games and jokes just seem horrifying! Growing up, outsiders thought they were twins; that's how inseparable they were. Younger Iceland would devise harmless pranks and ways to be mischievous, and he'd drag the gullible Faroe with him. Poor Faroe always got the blame and lecturing. After Iceland's independence, their relationship started drifting, and Iceland is now making other friends. Sometimes Faroe gets upset by this, but he's too nervous to say anything. He's happy about his brother's success, but he can get quite lonely in his place. Occasionally he longs for those moments when the whole family lived under the same roof, though he would never admit it. Then he visits Denmark for one week, and all those thoughts are thrown out the window! The longer the distance between him and Denmark, the better!

Anyway, he's an adorable guy, and I am happy to finally introduce him in my Nationverse <3

Something I made a while ago I thought I should share. Behold: The Faroe Islands, or in Faroese: Føroyar.

This is an overhaul of an old post from 5 years ago, because I've added a bunch of stuff which unfortunately does not show up correctly anywhere but ON my blog.

Denmark, Scandinavia, and the Nordic region in Danish

Areas The Nordic countries - De nordiske lande · Norden Scandinavia - Skandinavien Kingdom of Denmark · Danish Realm - Kongeriget Danmark · Danmarks Rige The Kalmar Union · Union of Kalmaris - Kalmarunionen (1397 to 1523) Countries Denmark - Danmark Sweden - Sverige Norway - Norge Finland - Finland Greenland - Grønland · Kalaallit Nunaat (Greenlandic, lit. “Greenlanders’ land") The Faroe Islands - Færøerne · Føroyar (Faroese) Iceland - Island

Languages Danish - dansk Swedish - svensk Norwegian  - norsk · nynorsk · norsk bokmål Finnish - finsk (West) Greenlandic - (vest)grønlandsk · kalaallisut Faroese - færøsk · føroyskt Icelandic - islandsk Minority languages German - tysk (spoken by the German minority in North Schleswig/South Jutland) Sámi - samisk (spoken by the Sámi people in large parts of northern Finland, Norway, and Sweden; the cultural region of Sápmi)¹ Inuktun · Polar Inuit  - nordgrønlandsk · avanersuarmiutut (spoken in Northern Greenland, around Qaanaaq)² East Greenlandic - østgrønlandsk · tunumiisut (spoken in Eastern Greenland/Tunu)² Romani - romani (spoken by the Romani people) Kven - kvensk (spoken by the Kven people in northern Norway)³ Sign Language - tegnsprog⁴ National demonyms⁵ Dane - dansker Swede - svensker Norwegian - nordmand (lit. “northern man”) Finn - finne · finlænder (rare) Greenlander - grønlænder · kalaaleq Faroese · Faroe islander - færing · føroyingur Icelander - islænding German - tysker Non-national ethnicities Romani - romani Sámi - same

Specifically Danish stuff

Places in Denmark⁶ Copenhagen - København Aarhus - Aarhus · Århus (unofficial, but not incorrect spelling) Jutland - Jylland · Hovedlandet (slang) Funen - Fyn Zealand - Sjælland · Djævleøen (slang, lit. “The Devil’s Island”) Major dialects/regiolects based on location Jutland - jysk Zealand - sjællandsk Funen - fynsk Bornholm - bornholmsk All islands (including Zealand + Funen, excluding Bornholm) - ømål (lit. “island language”)

Smaller areas that used to be Denmark Schleswig-Holstein - Slesvig-Holsten⁷ Scania (Skånes län) - Skåne (around 970 to 1658) Halland (Hallands län) - Halland (around 970 to 1645, legally 1658) Blekinge (Blekinge län) - Blekinge (around 970 to 1658) The Virgin Islands of the United States - Jomfruøerne · Dansk-Vestindien (outdated) · De Vestindiske Øer (outdated) (1672 to 1917) Estonia - Estland (Hertugdømmet Estland 1206 to 1346, Øsel 1560 to 1645)⁸

Notes: 1) There are many Sámi languages and dialects, too many to list here. 2) Some argue that East and West Greenlandic are dialects of the same language and that North Greenlandic (Inuktun) is a dialect of Inuktitut. 3) Some do not recognise Kven as a separate language from Finnish. 4) Obviously, there is not 1 (one) Sign Language in the entire Nordic. There are Danish, Norwegian, and Icelandic Sign (which are all related), and Swedish and Finnish Sign (which are related to each other). Danish Sign is also used in Greenland and the Faroe Islands. 5) All nationalities and ethnicities fælleskøn (utrum)/common gender (uter). 6) These are just the major parts that you probably should know 7) The whole Schleswig-Holstein area has been much disputed and is hard to date. It was definitely NOT part of Denmark 1864-1920. 8) All of Estonia was never Danish, but various parts were.

If I screwed up or you have questions, feel free to shoot me a message!

Die Färöer - Føroyar - Færøerne

Die Färöer sind eine Nation und eine zur dänischen Krone gehörende Inselgruppe zwischen den Britischen Inseln, Norwegen und Island im Nordatlantik. Im Mittelalter wurden hier 18 Inseln entdeckt und besiedelt. Die Landesbewohner (Färinger) betrachten sich als gerne als eigenständiges Volk und sprechen die färöische Sprache. Die Menschen leben hier hauptsächlich von der Fischerei und dem damit verbundenen Wirtschaftszweig.  Mit der Fähre ist Færøerne sehr gut zu erreichen und kann auch innerhalb der Inseln sehr gut mit dem eigenen PKW sowie mit den Stadt- und Überlandbussen bereist werden. Wo das Ziel weder per Bus noch per Fähre erreichbar ist werden Reisende mit dem Hubschrauber geflogen. Mehrere Leuchttürme und eine eigenen Fischereiflotte gibt es hier auf den Inseln.
