Do You Have Any NY Hc’s? It’s Fine It Not Lol 👁️👁️

Headcanon time because my tag paragraphs get shorted to nada and I didn't realize

Okay I'm a dumbass and didn't ever realize or notice that tumblr has a tag cap, because at least to my knowledge it does not tell you that you've hit a limit. So I shall rant about a kinda dumb headcanon I have for the states.

Warning: This bitch is longer than I thought it would be, you have been warned!!

ALRIGHT SO. The way I tend to draw the height for states is based off of two things, their state size and vibes, this is however excluded for the OG13 and then some.

This rule-ish not applying to them is because they all have actual families. Now you may be thinking "What the hell does that mean" and I am so glad you asked.

I haven't really talked about outside of the headcanon things but both New Jersey and New York have families, NJ his moms and technically the devil from the bible, NY his grandparents.

This also goes for the rest of the OG13, they all have families that while those who raised them aren't around anymore that family line still is. This is to the exception of Maryland because he is somehow even farther from being human than states normally are.

Anyway because of this, the OG13 heights are not based in state size, instead it is technically a strange mix between family genes and land size, only technically because those like Mass and Virginia are both taller(mass) and shorter(ginny) than one would assume based on state size. It's basically a ruelette on whether or not you get genes over state size and somehow Rhode STILL managed to be short as hell, bro rolled wrong TWICE XD.

Now it should be interesting to note that it's pretty much only the OG13 that have weird height despite the few other states who have family are locked to their state size. This would include Texas, Louisiana, both the Dakotas, Utah, Mississippi, Oklahoma, Alabama, and Minnesota Wisconsin and Michigan- I see these three at least somewhat related in some way shape or form so thats why they are together like that.

So despite states out side of the OG13 having actual human families they are related to, it's only the OG13 that aren't state size locked and there could be some reasons for this.

For one it could be that colonies more or less aren't locked to their size, mainly because colonies can mix and it's shown quite a lot in history that there were no firm lines between colonies. So it would make sense that when the states (then colonies) were growing up they weren't locked to the size of the colony and rather just their family genes.

It could also be that because they were already adult age (or close to it) it was too far for weird border magic to effect them since they were too old and such. This would make sense and work well with this idea that the other states with families outside of the OG13 are sized locked because their borders were a lot clearer by the time they were older.

Another reason could be because they all have families, which yes doesn't make much sense but here me out. All of them excluding NJ and Maryland had normal human families, it could be that because they had families they were only labeled as personified states once the country became a country. This doesn't mean that they weren't already personifications, just that you have to be labeled a state for border size to take effect, however once again since they were all already adults or almost adults, it wouldn't take effect.

And the final reason I can think of could just be that they were a special case, considering the fact that (if I'm remembering correctly) there aren't personification of the Canadian provinces in canon. It very well could be that yes normally states whether they have family or not are state sized locked, but since they would have been a special case in that there weren't personification like them before that the magic creating state personifications was newly born and didn't have rules yet. This would also explain why they would have families to begin with, the magic had to pick those who lived there to be those personifications, meaning they originally human. The only real problem with this one is the fact that states outside of them have families, however this could be explained, it could have been a lack of people in the area to build a personification from, it also could have been in the southern states case that because family is pretty important there, it made sense to chose those from families instead while still keeping the rules in place.

Now this is a whole lot and it kind of sounds like I've gone insane thinking about this but honestly this is mainly just me typing before I think lol. Is it clear that I needed a reason as to why some states are not close to their state size, because I feel like it is.

I do want to say that the states do have some control over their height, Texas could get taller but it would feel wrong and that goes for most already tall states, it's vice versa for the smaller states who may already be at their height cap by default. I'm not super sure if the OG13 should be able to change their height slightly, mainly because they are all more human to an extent than the other states, of course ignoring whatever the hell Mary is and the fact that NJ is related to the devil from the bible because lord knows those two are not as close (or close at all in Mary's case) to being human like their fellow states with families.

Now height isn't super important but I feel it can explain some dynamics people may have. If you have a tall friend and a short friend, theres gonna be a lot of short jokes. Two short friends and it's a whole lot of complaining about not being able to reach anything. Two tall friends and it's either complaining about feeling claustrophobic in lower ceilings or feeling like your god because your taller than everyone. Two friends of the exact same height and it will always be a competition to see who is truly taller (it's neither but their in denial).

You have to think about these things when making characters because it can effect the dynamic, obviously not by much but still, it's important to know. So while this might seem like far to much thinking when it's literally just a funny internet series that was the only way you knew the news during covid, I find it important. Sure I may never actually write a proper fic and I will probably really only stick to my funny lil drawings, it feels important.

My drawings are like snippets to what happens in the day to day crazy-ness in either the Statehouse or just with the states, thus it is important to me that I have their heights to how I have my headcanons set up when drawing. It's small details like that, that convey a story when drawing without doing an actual comic, it brings life when I know my drawings can be a little stiff, it's about the story and maybe that's just the writer within me talking but I don't care XD.

Basically I just like having some sort of reason as to why the heights for the OG13 aren't consistent with their state size when I draw them. What can I say, I'm a dork :D.

Hey! Can I humbly request some Florida hcs?

(I’m not sure if you’ve already done it before though so feel free to skip if you have 👍)

Elllooo, of course you can so kind much wow, also don't worry I haven't done Florida hcs before and even if I did I would just make the list longer so don't sweat it.

Florida-

Chronic biter, if brain says bite he bite

Begged Jersey to take him to Action Park when he learned about the CannonBall Loop, he’s still disappointed that Wet ‘N Wild never did anything that fun

He doesn’t spend ALL his time at Disney, just a sizable amount of time is spent there

Has numerous pets, an alligator, crocodile, Florida panther, an unknown number of crabs, and different types of fish

He also has a baby alligator with Loui at the StateHouse that Gov has given up trying to remove

Unlike Cali, he actually can cook, he doesn’t do it too often but when he absolutely needs too or is bored he will

Likes barging into Cali’s room at random without any warning

Got into Pokémon briefly during the 90s, has a ton of very rare and expensive cards just lying around his home

Likes to doodle, on everything anywhere

Thinks he’s speaking Spanish half the time, has a very hard time comprehending English, it’s why he can’t read, he can but just Spanish and only kind of most of the time

There are times where he’s just very mellow and it terrifies everybody

Has a llama plush that he brought with him EVERYWHERE when he was younger, now it resides in his room at the StateHouse

While he likes to explode things, he doesn’t like out of control fire, something something trauma?

Steals Cali’s laptop at times, it’s just funny

He and Loui love to just exist in the same area, even if they aren’t doing something together or are just sitting around not speaking, they just like the closeness

Does almost everything with Loui but if he isn’t around then Florida will just mope and sulk until someone bothers him

He doesn’t get sad often but if he does it’s straight to Loui he goes, if Loui isn’t around then he goes to Cali and if Cali isn’t around then he goes to Jersey for reasons still unknown to everyone including Jersey himself

Pretty much exclusively listens to Spanish music, which would be fine if he didn’t play it at 3 in the morning scaring the hell out of all the southern (+Jersey since his room is there) states in the South Hall

*shakes cup* any spare NY hc’s? 👁️👁️

Ignore that it's been like 16 hours, I didn't fall asleep right after posting idk what your talking about. Anyway I do yes here you go

New York-

He likes games, board games, arcades, video games, all of them, if they exist he most likely has something about it in his basement

Jersey managed to convince him to go to Action Park one time in the 90s, never again (he almost drowned....thrice)

Is one of the best shots out of all the states, not that he’ll ever use a gun anymore

He’s completely different when he’s sick, clingy and whiny and not to be left alone, imagine a 4 year old, that’s him when sick

He doesn’t like crowds, probably because of old timey trauma

When he went back to high school, he became a slight scene kid, just slightly

Was severely touched starved before the StateHouse, now though he is only what the NE considers a normal amount of touched starved

Cat.......that’s it, he’s basically just a cat

Will drink tea just to piss Mass off

Doesn’t like the cold, he used to go down to Florida during the winter in the 70s and 80s, however Jersey, Connie, and NH managed to convince him that the cold is worth it because snow

He doesn’t like Domino’s or Papa John’s, to him they are just cheap imitations of good Italian food (despite Domino’s not being Italian)

Knew Italian first, then learned Dutch and later English, if he’s exhausted he’ll speak Dutch most likely, if he’s exhausted AND sick he speaks Italian and good luck understanding him cause oh boy it’s Italian from like 400 years ago

Mentally ill, PTSD and ADHD

Has an Emotional Support Plague Doctor™ gifted to him from Penn as a Christmas gift

Doesn’t own a single bag, not a shopping bag, not a backpack, nothing

Used to be a singer in the 20s

Prefers music from the 60s to the 2010s than anything today

Gets forced places by Jersey, Cali, Kentucky and Tennessee, or NM and NH, or all of them at the same time

It’s hard for him to genuinely hate people, for a long time he only genuinely hated England, though that hate has faded overtime

He used to like wave pools, and then he almost drowned (thrice) (no he will never NOT use this as an excuse to not go to a New Jersey waterpark)

Once lost a bet and had to be a cat boy maid for a day (Still mad at Nevada about it)

Hand over the Texas hc's 🔫🥰

*not forcing ofc!! <3*

HIII!!! I wanted to get this done sooner but had to transition my brain from "OUTSIDE WOOOO" to "Sit yo ass down BOI" so this took a little...oops? BUT here ya go!!!

Texas-

*Slaps on back of the head* Oh this bad boy can fit SO much trauma

He has a human family but boy is he not human, he’s closer to human than Jersey and Maryland but whatever he is sure ain’t human

LOVES Transformers, the movies, shows, comics, all of it (whata nerd)

He’s very easy to become friends with so long as you give him the chance and you’re not at The Table

He’s a lovable dumbass and if one cannot handle that then one shall not be friends with sir cowboy

Surprisingly friends with New Jersey, they got closer after teaching each other how to cook certain things (Brisket and Pizza)

Adores cuddles, whether he’s big spoon or little spoon, he love ‘em

Is decently good friends with California, they may not agree on everything but the two been slowly learning that you don’t have to be friends with just those that share your same views and beliefs (a hard lesson for both to understand)

Oh you best believe this boy has become super best friends with Alberta, how could he not!? They are literally Walmart him!!

Used to go into the rivers near his home to dive for treasure, almost always found guns, so much so that he had to stop as his collection was a bit too big to take care of them all (he gave some to other states over time)

Oh wait yeah *clears throat* ✨~Guns~✨ 

He loves bats, thinks they are the most adorable little weirdos in the world and will do ANYTHING to protect them

Oh does he love to dance, will always find a victim someone to dance with, somehow always ends up being Oklahoma

He doesn’t really understand hockey but he’s trying (the southern states with teams are making sure of that) and he does understand why it’s popular, it’s the ✨~violence~✨

He will get what he wants, one way or another, no matter how long it takes and if he only has what he wants for a minute or two, he will get it.

LOOK!! ART!!!!! I ACTUALLY DREW SOMETING AGAIN!!! anyway was bored and thought 'hey i should draw my character/sona-tingy in...someting?' and suddenly there was a drawing infront of me, of my character in the clothes im currently wearing and instead of the goat horns there are demon-ish horns, cause demon boi go brrr

LETS GO JERSEY WOOOOOOO!!!!!

September 20, 2023 - Critical support to this New Jersey man who intentionally crashed his car into a police station while blasting Welcome To The Jungle by Guns n' Roses. 🫡 [video]

Day 14: ZedaphPlays (drinking a lovely drink while Imp and Tango do their thing)

IM CAUGHT UP, my hands doing better now that Im no longer coloring and acting like the pressure force needed for coloring is over 9000, anyway isnt this such a nice drawing with nothing going wrong in the background at all?

EEeeehhehehehehe thank youuuu!!

How about some nice, good ol happy, totally not sad at all what so ever NJ headcanons (you could throw in some angst ones as well, I certainly won't complain)

Hello small mortal, yes yes I do have some NJ hc’s for ya here ya go :)

NJ braids flowers into his hair even if it’s not long enough and he has definitely tackled his brothers to the ground to put flowers in their hair too.

^he’ll never admit it but NY’s was his favorite to do since it’s long and fluffy.

He’s really good with hair for some reason and no one knows why. He’s one of the only people that NY’s allows to touch his hair.

His tail wags when he’s happy :>

Taught Texas how to take care of his bat wings since his own wings are very similar and he was lowkey horrified when he found out that Texas was keeping them folded 24/7 and not fixing them when they get hurt and not asking for help when his wings are hurting.

He can do a really loud blood curdling screech if he wants to

One of NJ’s horns has a crack in it and is shorter than the other. Courtesy of England’s bitch ass.

Day 8: Mumbo Jumbo (THATS REDSTONE)

So I wanted to actually draw his base but I also wanted to get this out before 12, plus I wanna play minecraft, so its not exactly the best drawing I've ever done so I might redo the drawing in June just because I would have time lol

Hehe Hockey!!!
