There Was A Fire On My Street, I Think It Was Some Sort Of Kitchen Fire But I'm Not Sure. Nobody Was

Y’all gimmie your New Jersey headcanons, please, I am starved for content.

I don’t care how weird or strange they may be, just gimmie!!!

I drew the lovely Miss Ariana Griande (completely by accident mind you) and I gotta be honest, I might just start drawing her more because wemon are pretty and nice to draw (I drew this on my computer btw so the style is a bit different than normal)

No one requested this but I got distracted

Hear me out what if this was a ship

Im sick, which means I should (in theory) be able to draw stuff to actually post on here, we shall see

May I humbly request more NY hc’s 👁️👁️

*its fine if not*

Why of course good sir, I have way too much fun writing and thinking about these.

New York-

Has grandparents, it’s best you don’t question how they are still alive

Theater kid, has seen Hamilton and Wicked more times than he can count

Always moving, normally just tapping his foot or tapping his fingers, not nearly as bad as NJ and holds this over his head

“I have better ADHD than you do” has been said multiple times by him to NJ

Likes to hike, doesn’t get a chance to do it often but when he can he does, not alone though, never alone

Met Mass for the first time when he was changed from New Amsterdam to New York

Had a harder time understanding certain accents when he was younger, not as bad as NJ but it still caused a problem for a while

Knows Italian and Spanish, he can still understand and write in Dutch but can’t properly speak it

Used to call Jersey ‘Joisey’ in the early 2000s, had to stop or else they would have gone to war

Currently calls Jersey ‘Jerz’ or ‘Taffy’, occasionally calls him ‘Trent’ but that normally ends with a shoe to the head

Likes to call Cali ‘B’ and ‘Nia’

Will occasionally call Florida ‘Disney’ and ‘Swampy’

He does own a gun but prefers a knife

During 2020 he did cooking videos and ‘how to acquire *blank item*’ videos, would sometimes be joined by Vermont and Maine

New Hampshire is his cousin and his brother depending on the situation 

While he denies it, he was the one who created the New state group chat

 He likes both Football and Hockey equally, no one ever believes him though

Takes the best photos of himself ever but most of them are like 2008 cringe types of photos

He’s not scared of heights but he HATES drop towers, any and all he will refuse to go on, he will not hesitate to bite if you try

AHHHH I LOVE THIS!!!!

Violently coughing I need my medicine of Jersey and York, please and thank you ^-^

MY BABIESSSSS YES ILL HAND OVER THE HC’S RIGHT AWAY >:3

NJ is so pissed that NY is an inch taller and NY knows it :)

It’s fine tho cuz NJ messes with NY all the time and only stops if he goes too far or if Mass or Connie walk in

When NJ first saw NY’s process of making flower crowns with roses, he was lowkey kinda concerned cuz he saw that NY ended hurting himself with the thorns when removing them from the stem, so he taught them how to do it safely so that NY didn’t hurt themself 😭

Mess with one, you mess with the other. I don’t recommend messing with either one.

NY loves play fighting, but especially with NJ. Even though NJ is afraid of hurting him (one of NJ’s greatest fears is hurting someone he loves <3)

NJ spoke (speaks) a lot for NY when NY couldn’t speak English or was too anxious and/or overstimulated to speak. He still does it. He’s the best big brother (after Mass) that York could ask for.

Whilst NY likes pigeons, NJ likes crows. So they both take walks with their bird friends :] NJ 100% gets along with Kraai (NY’s crow friend that I gave him a while ago)

If NJ thinks that NY is being over-confident or if NY is trying to appear intimidating (he’s not-), he’ll sneak up on NY, wrap his arms around him, and start giving him hair pets and head scritches and he ends up reducing NY to a puddle of sleepy purring adorableness. Then he has a problem cuz NY falls asleep on NJ and NJ wouldn’t DARE to move.

Wowza ain't this a big one eh?

SCENE KID NJ IS BEST NJ PROVE ME WRONG!!!!

*ahem* Soooo...I did this on my Ipad if it isn't obvious, I actually really like this lol.

There honestly isn't too much to say about this, like Jersey was a slight scene kid in the early 2000s and basically DIY'ed everything he is wearing, did I make it obvious enough that he is a Devils fan?

The red and green is a heavy call back to the original jerseys the Devils used, which I lovingly call the Christmas Jerseys, and clearly I went VERY heavy with that lol

The other side of the hat has a Rutgers patch instead of the Devils one you can see, this would have been when the Rutgers football team was doing pretty good I think soooo ya know, I felt it was important to mention.

ANOTHER POLAROID, this time by Rhode Island, and no you aren't reading that date wrong and I feel as though I don't need to elaborate ;)

The New Boys(TM)

Look at them, bask in their angry glory.

So I actually drew them yesterday but didn't end up posting it cause its on a bigger WTTT page. It started out as just Jersey but then I wanted to draw New Mexico as well, and then I somehow had all four of them on the page.

I have the slight headcanon that they are all related in some way, like NJ and NY are brothers and NM is NJ's cousin but not NY's and NH is NY's cousin (or brother idk) but not NJ's. I don't know it seemed like a funny concept to me.

I saw this idea floating around that NM was raised by the NorthEast and I love that idea so like that is probably why NJ and NM are cousins...probably..ya know I hadn't actually thought too hard about it lol

Wow me, drawing Jersey? Craazzzyyyyy

Anyway, I had an original design for this type of look on the Ipad, ended up not looking at it once since I apparently have memory. Kinda glad I didn't since I could go just by memory and figure it out as I went along ya know. (ps, for those who don't normally read tags just like, please do, i put so many lil things in there lolz)

Okay SO, I have this lil headcanon, nothin big, that Jersey didn't used to wear shorts until like 2000 or something, maybe a bit before then. This is because he has some scars on his legs, just from over the years, and wearing shorts not only shows those but also make it easier for him to get scrapes and such.

He was fine wearing shorts around NY, Del, and Rhode, occasionally Mass as well if he happened to be around at the time. He couldn't wear them around anyone else for a long time, some scars had Memories(tm) attached to them, some good most bad, so he just never wore shorts.

He's gotten a lot more comfortable wearing them around the other states over the years, mainly because of Covid where Mass unfortunately wouldn't let him keep wearing the same two pairs of pants. So he's fine now, if still a lil uncomfortable around some states (the west mainly), you just won't see him wearing them until it's the first day over 60 in state.

Anyway I love NJ but this isn't surprising, I live here. I am NOT a simp for this bitch, he's my state, I have to like him, 'sides who else would I attach to? Pennsylvania? Florida? Or god forbid NEW YORK!? Absolutely not, that's sacrilegious that is.

Y’all we had an earthquake, what a lovely thing to be greeted by when just wanted to shift positions to go back to sleep.

Time to think the whole day that the train going by is an earthquake (that’s assuming that the trainlines continue to run today, we aren’t built for this).

Anyone in the NJ/NY area hope you’re safe and alright, that was scary :D
