APH - Auf Wiedersehen Paulby ~FrauV8

Fan Art / Manga & Anime / Digital / Other

England/Arthur: Poor Chap... I'm going to miss the little guy...

Spain/Antonio: NOOOO~

Germany/Ludwig: *Sigh*

As for Prussia/Gilbert and Netherlands/?... it's pretty obvious what they're thinking/saying.
_{Except they can't eat Paul since he's going to be cremated - or so they say; there's no say of where Paul's remains will be placed either, but the sea will be a perfect place.}

---

Ja... my brother told me that Paul the Octopus just died when I got back home from College...

And he wanted me to draw this pic in memory of the little guy.

The octopus died at a ripe old age of 2 years and 6 months - which is about right for a Common Octopus like Paul.
_{(Common Octopi don't live longer than 2-3 years)}

Of course, there'll be a few people out there rejoicing because of the World Cup this year.

_{(Remember how Germans and Dutchmen wanted to eat Paul so much that Spain offered to protect the little squishy guy just a few months ago?}

Paul the Octopus was a gift from England to Germany since Germany didn't really have octopi for his aquarium.
_{(yes - Paul was born a Brit but raised as a German)}

You can read the Wikipedia article on him yourself: [link]

As for a replacement... I hadn't heard any new regarding that; I don't know if England will be willing to give up another magical cephalopod so easily - he might just keep it to himself.

_{(then again, Paul was one of thousands of octopi that England hatched and gave away as a tiny baby so he had no idea Paul would become so famous; also, Germany made Paul 'psychic' just for kicks)}

Feel free to Comment as always.

Poor Paul.

Rest in peace Paul! D'X
Hope he has a nice life in that ocean in the heavens above ;_;

Poor Paul.

To be honest, though, I was pissed when Spain beat Germany...... Oh well.

~FrauV8 Oct 27, 2010 Student Digital Artist

Well, at least he can't be harmed by death threats from Germans and Dutchmen anymore.

~Kolmoi Oct 30, 2010 Hobbyist General Artist

VERY TRUE.

~CeruleanWings Oct 27, 2010

To be honest, I'm lucky that squid is finally dead.

All the hubbub about Paul was getting on my nerves - badly. And I'm really great it's FINALLY over.
I shall still facepalm at the wikipedia article though.
He was just a squid for Pete's sake. A squid .

Lolz... it's not so much of a big deal here in the States because people forgot who Paul was as soon as the World Cup ended; when his death was announced in the news, they were like "Who?"
_{Canada Moment}

But come on... how can one hate such a cute little creature?

He was only made 'psychic' for kicks (ha, ha, Football/Soccer pun

but Germany only trained Paul just for fun), but I guess Paul just brought out the little kid inside of everyone and that's what made the world crazy for the critter.
_{Unless you have a heart made of stone.}

~CeruleanWings Oct 28, 2010

Lolreally? PSH. Americans.

-shrugs- There are people and animals out there who/which I dislike even more than Paul (SCREW YOU LENA MEYER-LANDRUT, SCREW YOUUUU), but still, he's one of the most unnecessary things humans "created", imo.

~FrauV8 Oct 29, 2010 Student Digital Artist

Yep - Americans in general have short attention spans and care only about things that benefit themselves in the short-term.
_{(like globalization - at first, the businesses thought it'd make them lots of money to ship production and services to countries like China [and it still does - only for the people in charge of businesses], but in the long run it made the US trade-debt with China and other emerging countries worse [and not to mention no jobs for working Americans - here in California where new technology is often invented and made, the unemployment rate is almost 13% because all the jobs has gone overseas])}

And that's true - there's a lot more things to dislike besides oracle octopi like Justin Beiber, Taylor Swift, Jonas Brothers, and similar Teen-Pop crap.
_{(on the other hand, Lady Gaga is awesome)}
