Experience Tumblr Like Never Before
Hand over the Texas hc's đŤđĽ°
*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, heâs closer to human than Jersey and Maryland but whatever he is sure ainât human
LOVES Transformers, the movies, shows, comics, all of it (whata nerd)
Heâs very easy to become friends with so long as you give him the chance and youâre not at The Table
Heâs 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 heâs big spoon or little spoon, he love âem
Is decently good friends with California, they may not agree on everything but the two been slowly learning that you donât 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* â¨~Guns~â¨Â
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 doesnât really understand hockey but heâs trying (the southern states with teams are making sure of that) and he does understand why itâs popular, itâs the â¨~violence~â¨
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.
New headcanon
The states do have their own music tastes but if an artist is from their state, they will unironically love their music.
So imagine they do karaoke or something and California starts singing In Case You Didnât Know by Brett Young. Or on the opposite side, Texas singing Same Old Love by Selena Gomez. Florida singing anything by Arianna Grande or NSYNC. Gov knowing every word of Under my Skin by Jukebox the Ghost. New York knowing all the words to any Nicki Minaj song. Loui singing How to Love by Lil Wayne. Oklahoma belting Before He Cheats by Carrie Underwood. Nevada singing his heart out to Victorious by Panic at the Disco.
âŚ..Iâve put a lot of thought into this-
I'm gonna force my texas headcanons on you yayy
My favorite personality is texas being transfem i actually forgot this one for a good bit but yeah i remembered it recently, i like to think the reason she doesn't figure out her dysphoria sooner is because partly she doesn't have that strong dysphoria and just thinks it's general insecurity that everyone has
I also imagine texas just not talking as a kid, i feel they just took a while to get it figured out i also imagine he had a weird voice for some reason
He has perception lens but doesn't use them because he doesn't like the look of them, another optional thing to my theory is that he might need them to drive but still doesn't and when someone finds his license says he needs his glasses they're just like "oh my god you could've killed me!"
He falls asleep right after work, for like 3-4 hours because of his sleep patterns (totally not me and school)
He crochets, i just gave him my one of my hobbies
Oooooo I love all of these :D
Transfem Texas is not something I would have thought of and yet it fits so well. Justa dumbass not realizing anything until someone gives a dare to wear a dress and of course Texas would never back down from a dare, so once the dress is on itâs like ââŚoh shitâ
I mean Texases whole thing is guns sooâŚit would make sense if he was the quite kid, made fun of for his voice being weird and snappedâŚseems accurate
Blind as fuck Texas is hilarious, no one understands how this man has come so far without his glasses. The best shot in the StateHouse who actually uses guns consistently, best aim just in general for most things, I mean they donât even ever see him stumble into stuff. Then they are on the road and get pulled over, Texas has someone grab his license for him and BAMB card says like âYo ass so blind you couldnât find a nuclear reactor if it wss right in front of yaâ and everyone in the car is automatically terrified :D
Texas needs more hobbies than just â¨~Gun~⨠so him crocheting I can get behind. Same with the napping after work, cause letâs be honest here, there is no way that man is on a sleep schedule that is healthy enough to even PRETEND to be a sleep schedule XD
Alaska n Cali ? ^_^ romantic or platonic, or neither, just how theyâd interact doesnât matter to me, just curious :33
I AM SO SORRY THAT THIS IS SO LATE. I meant to do this sooner I swear, I just had no idea how to do what I needed to on Google Docs mobile. Anyway, I went the platonic route sorta, it can read as romantic as well, sooo HERE!!!!
Cuddles, all the cuddles, itâs what they do like 80% of the time when theyâre together
Alaska will just pick Cali up at random, like itâs the more normal thing in the world, and Cali just takes it
They donât actually talk much when together, well Alaska doesnât, Cali yaps
Cali somehow managed to get Alaska to watch anime with them one time, it ended at ep 4 when girl + dog = lotâs of crying from the both of them
Alaska has a pet bear and Cali has the insatiable need to pet and cuddle things that can kill him
They have gone to multiple sports games together, despite Alaska not liking the crowds and Cali not like the noise or the crowds, according to Cali itâs âa bonding experience to watch your team win while on the bring of either shutting down or a panic attackâÂ
Cali does sketches of Alaska throughout the day, sometimes the drawings include other states but normally itâs just him, then at the end of the day Cali will give them all to Alaska who proceeds to put them all on the fridge in the garage
Winter vacay is determined by a coin flip, itâs normally with Alaska (itâs not rigged, Alaska just always picks the right side)
Cali tried to get Alaska to understand the appeal video games, then ended up getting demolished by him because of tilt control on Mario Kart
Alaska taught Cali how to ice fish, how to safely skate on open ice, and how to be silent in the woods
The two are just very close, Cali is an outcast not by choice and Alaska is one by choice, itâs an interesting relationship
Cali was incredibly close to telling Alaska about the fact that he writes fanfics, they didnât but the fact that he was going to is something of note
Cali steals Alaskaâs hoodies and shirts since they SWIM in them
Have I mentioned cuddles? Because that is basically what the whole relationship is built upon, cuddles. So. Many. Cuddles.
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.
This was just a random idea I had. In my brain Central Jersey is the Jersey that shows the most, problem is is since CJ is so...let's go with disconnected, with the rest of the country he gets overwhelmed, and sure North could just switch in and South could do the same if they all wanted to scare the others with a southern accent that has the slang of the California coast, but watching a place that doesn't exist (it totally does btw) is way funnier.
Besides, by now all the other states that aren't the OG13 think that New Jersey has brown-looks red in certain light-eyes and it would scare the devil out of 'em if they see the red eyes that North actually has (and considering it's HIS body, it is far to tempting).
Also is it obvious that I love the idea that it's the Jersey's and not just Jersey, like I live here, if it's one singular state then I'm from Pennsylvania (I may have been born there but I sure as heaven ain't from there). Jersey would be three different states if we wanted to be associated with the rest of the country more than we already are, that and we may not agree on things but we don't HATE each other, we leave that for the rest of the country (plus let's be real, central wouldn't exist and then what would north and south argue about?)
Anyway as a proud Centralian looking at the news of the rest of the country is overwhelming, I just want to go skating, to the arcade, and continue lovin our favorite Devil, and down the shore when it's nice (and no, down don't mean literally down, though normally we are going down).
@nohappinessinthisworld Alright I finally did it, NJ headcanons. I had fun doing these
New Jersey-
Refuses to try Poutine, says that itâs just Disco Fries but worse
Suffers every summer, he can deal with the heat but he doesnât like it
Never fully understood why murder was so bad until around the 90s when some good friends of his got murdered
He doesnât like hurting the OG13 since he considers them apart of his family, so whenever he does itâs a complete tonal shift for about a week
He doesnât actually smell all to bad, just like a normal guy, but he can make it worse however it only affects the states
He REALLY hates rain storms, whether itâs tropical or a hurricane or just a storm with lightning he HATES it, heâs actually gotten a lot better since the 2010s since before he would just have a panic attack the entire time (York helped a lot with this)
His hair gets frosted tips whenever thereâs snow sticking in the state, if itâs a lot of snow his face will get way paler, his cheeks blueish and his freckles look like snowflakes
âJersey if you stab Colorado with your skate blade again Iâm tellin yer Maâ -Mass every single time thereâs a hockey game between NJ and CO
Was inducted into a knitting club by his friend who worked at the library, all the old ladies in the club are very nice and have helped Jersey get as good at knitting as he is now
While he has had a lot of hobbies over the years, he only has a few active ones, such as knitting and cooking and garden/farm stuff (hockey doesnât count because itâs a lifestyle not a hobby, his words)
Is not a fan of the Nintendo Switch, only owns one because what else is he going to do? Transfer games onto the DS illegally? (yes but thatâs besides the point)
Oh he has horns and a tail alright, but he doesnât have them always, he can just hide them and whatnot so most of the states donât actually know that he does, only the OG13 know because oh boy did he have horrible control over it as a young child
Was very confused when he found out that the other states donât have familyâs, that they just spawned out of nowhere, in his mind it shouldnât be possible but it is (âYou canât just CREATE mass like that, just because magic exists doesnât mean you can just IGNORE SCIENCE!!!!â)
While he cooks a TON at the StateHouse, he actually tends to eat out when at home, support local diners oh and Wawa and QuickCheck
Was very obsessed with demon magic and stuff during the pandemic in the StateHouse, listen he was bored and curious, it was stupid but fun
Hi, so I saw that you were doing requests so can you do California hcs? :D
(Not forced)
Hiii I'm so sorry that this took so long, I was kinda stumped and was doing other things BUT I did finally get around to it so HERE
California-
He has a lot of hobbies, such as hiking and making loom bracelets, if it exists it was probably a hobby of theirs
Has always been interested in how personifications/states came to be, most just appeared one day, some are related to each other or other countries, while a very small group (pretty much just the OG13 and Louisiana) are related to humans, itâs all very interesting and mildly terrifying to him
Trained marksman, owns two guns but rarely uses them unless their stressed, then itâs off to the shooting range (or ya know, he'll just shut down, honestly him going to the range doesn't happen too often when he's stressed but it is always an option)
Actually pretty close to the Canadian provinces, at least closer to them than they are with most of the states (Alberta scares him though, will never be alone with Alberta)
Loves astrology, knows everything that he can and had tried to get the other states into it but with no success (technically, they actually got Connecticut pretty into the science side of it)
Space cat
Likes to stargaze, occasionally will drag Nevada and Utah out with him, they canât get Arizona to go unless he is dying
Animal Crossing ruined him and he loves the games so much (New Leaf's their fav)
Also I did a drawing since this is really short
*cough cough* Requests are open, I'll take anything and everything I'm bored
Okay so, stupid tired idea, WTTT Harry Potter AU. I know it's dumb BUT think about it, either they are still states and for some reason in the UK or they are like "normal" kids but they aren't normal at all.
I think though it would really only make sense to be the OG13 but maybe some others as well? I'm not really too sure but I do have a house list that I made ages ago.
New Jersey: Hufflepuff
New York: Gryffindor
New Hampshire: Gryffindor
Maine: Hufflepuff
Massachusetts: Slytherin
Vermont: Slytherin
Virginia: Ravenclaw
Connecticut: Ravenclaw
Pennsylvania: Gryffindor
Georgia: Hufflepuff
Florida: Slytherin
Louisiana: Ravenclaw
North Carolina: Slytherin
South Carolina: Gryffindor
Maryland: Hufflepuff
Delaware: Slytherin
Rhode Island: Gryffindor
I don't know, maybe it needs some work with these guys to make a bit more sense, pretty curious what others would think the states houses would be.
Like I know no idea why they would be going to Hogwarts but it would be funny for like 17 vaguely american students to just show up. Don't even ask me what their years would all be because I have no idea, that's up to y'all.
*falls from the ceiling fan*
May we please have Loui hcâs? đď¸đď¸
*completely fine if not dw <3*
Ask and thou shall receive :3
Heâs chaotic, just as bad as Florida but not nearly as obvious
Dyslexic, normally with English but it can affect him when reading French as well
Was really wary of the NE for most of his childhood as a state, now he is generally fine with them but there is no way he in going into any of their states willingly
Has been in a small prank war with Kansas since the 60s, over that time other southern states have been dragged in every so often
If heâs exhausted then there is no hope for understanding him
He wonât be in a good mood if heâs away from Florida for more than two days
He and Nevada go to parties in their states, switching every time
Is really chill and not aware of anything if he doesnât have a daiquiri or any type of alcohol for more than a day
Has gotten into multiple fights with numerous states because of his quote on quote drinking problem, âitâs not a problem *state name here* I will literally die without itâ
Always has a song stuck in his head, he has zero control over what the song is so it could be the most annoying thing in the world or something that puts him to sleep
The Cooking Mama god, The Babysitting Mama god, The every Mama game ever god, he is way to good at them
Has a few pets, 3 lizards, 2 cats, a few gators, and a snake
Absolutely loves horror games
He loves to see different magic systems and how they work in video games and books, itâs his favorite pastimeÂ
He started to ask Jersey about his magic and how it works slowly but surely once he started to trust him more
He and Florida fell into the Hudson on one of their first visits, never again (seriously how are York and Jersey alive!??)
Cryptids are real, heâs met a bunch, but it is so much funnier to say they arenât when California tries to prove they are
Collects YuGiOh cards, started because Florida got really into PokĂŠmon but he couldnât get into it as much
Likes to draw, just anything that comes to mind it goes on paper
Has a pin board, he mostly has button pins and enamel pins from anything and everything
Will just lay on states if there is no room on the couch, he doesnât care if there is another couch, he wanted to be on this one and he doesnât care how
May we please have some NY hcâs? đď¸đď¸
*not forcing*
I am so sorry for this being literal DAYS late, things happen but I still feel bad, anyway I shall deliver as it is better late than never!!
Doesnât like planes (feel like it obvious why)
Can figure skate, likes to do so for 30 minutes as a warm up before hockey
He has a lot of scars, pretty much all on his chest and arms though he does have a good few on his legs
Met Delaware when he visited Netherlands home for the first time, he continued to visit every weekend until Netherland had to leave
Actually likes Netherland, way better than England thatâs for sure
He found out that there was a another New state when he found New Mexico going through his kitchen, he still doesnât have a single idea how NM had gotten there and neither does NM
Friendship bracelets, specifically Loom (the rubber bands)
He has some problems with his own humanity because while yes he is a state personification, he also had parents and has grandparents, something that pretty much every state except for a few have, swimming in the Hudson didnât help at all seeing as now heâs all sorts of something
While he and Jersey seem attached at the hip, they actually donât spend nearly as much time together as the other states thing, yeah they are slightly attached at the hip but they will go weeks without a single hello at times
Hates change, he went through so much of it as a child that he canât stand it now
Spinny chair go brrrrr
âIâm not autistic, I just donât like youâ
He canât really drive, like he has his license but is terrified to use it in his own state, he prefers public transport in the city rather than driving and always lets Jersey drive whenever they are in a car
He doesnât like fireworks, they are pretty much way to loud for him to be okay
Used to have a pet duck
May we have some NY and NJ hcâs? Like- stuff that they do together and how they act with each other? đď¸đď¸
*its fine if not*
Hehe I was super excited to do this one but sadly I do things in order of oldest to newest BUT none the less, here you go, our favorite stupid bastards
Jersey likes to cuddle and York likes receiving cuddles, so it isnât uncommon to find the two together in the North living room
Jersey = Jer-bear, York = Yorka-doodle, they never call each other these in front of others
They go skating a ton, early morning public skate and public hockey are mainly what they do
Always fighting when it comes to certain foods, specifically pizza and bagels, otherwise they are perfect with each other in the kitchen
Jersey sends York stupid stuff from Tumblr, York does the same but with Twitter
Impromptu sleepovers in York's room happen a lot, York has sleep problems and as said before, Jersey cuddles, win win sitch
They fight, a lot, technically itâs just arguments but to pretty much everyone except the NE, it sounds like fighting (granted the NE sometimes thinks they are genuinely fighting but shh)
âMurder is illegalâ âYou canât murder people itâs rudeâ etc. are said whenever they are in the city
Despite not talking to each other for about 40ish years, they went right back to how they were before, if just a bit closer
They both fake hate each other, for no reason other than seeing the shocked faces of the other states while they simply cook breakfast together
Just Dance Night (the other states get flashbacks when ever they hear the Just Dance intro)
They like to just exist in the same space, doesnât matter if they are doing two completely different things, theyâll continue to hang out VIRGINIA
They bet on everything, who will get to the table faster, who will make breakfast the quickest without messing up, everything
They always think to message the other first when something is happening, doesnât matter if the sitch doesnât really need the other, they still will
Since Jersey still speaks fluent Dutch and York has his broken messed up Dutch that Jersey understands, they will âgossipâ to each other in front of the other states
When they do that, they are really just talking about dinner plans and what movies they should see, but in the most condescending and judgmental tone they can
Movie dates, any movie whether they think itâll be good or not
They sometimes come of as very big and little brother coded, York being the older while Jerseys the younger, when in reality itâs switched
Jersey finds it hilarious whenever people think he and York are dating, they arenât, they consider each other brothers and technically are, York always wants to kill the people who do think they are dating, âMurder is Illegal Yorkieâ he doesnât care
Family dinners are once a month with Jerseyâs moms and occasionally not, father, father, and York's grandparents
They have so much dirt on each other that if one says something so will the other, you know the nuclear deal between America and Russia? Yeah itâs basically that but with blackmail
If oneâs sick the others clingy, if one's sad the others clingy, if one-
They like to dance with each other, even if thereâs no music (itâs mainly spinning without music though)
Jersey has bad English days sometimes, so York will translate, on those days they tend to just haul up in York's room and put on a random Hockey game
The last of my NJ headcanons. Now let it be known that there will probably be more in the future, considering he is my favorite, HOWEVER this is all I have for now lol.
New Jersey-
Normally is presenting more as Central Jersey, his tics are from North and South trying to speak at the same time
Because of slightly demonic magic, Jersey is fractured like how his state is, thereâs North, South, and Central, they can all split into their own persons with North looking the same, but not for too long
While Jersey has used many names during his life, the one his mothers gave him is the only few actually know, Jonah Eriksson Bakker, Eriksson being his Motherâs last name and Bakker his Maâs
Despite it being hundreds of years, he still isnât used to English, words never come out quite right, thereâs almost always something just slightly missed pronounced even when taking his accent into account
If heâs upset or tired he has a pretty heavy lisp, which along with his already heavy accent when feeling any emotion makes him pretty impossible to understand, the only ones that do are York, Del, and surprisingly Penn
Likes to call New York âYorkieâ Vermont âMontyâ Kentucky âKenâ (heâs the only one allowed too) California âWestieâ Florida âDiaâ âSunshineâ or âFlo Ridaâ and says Texas like how a Russian would (he has no idea why he started to he just did one day)
The Jersey Devil is real, Jerseys met it multiple times in his life, sometimes they exist in the same space in the Pine Barrens, but most times they donât
Jersey has a Jersey Devil plush, had it since he was a young child, itâs his prized possession along with one of Connieâs books from the 1850s that he âborrowedâÂ
When he was younger, Jersey would go to Devilâs Tree to read, it's how he learn the hard way, that his not father father is not the only demon that resides in NJ
In contrast to York, Jersey LOVES drop towers, thinks that they are the second best theme park flat ride to ever exist (the first are those super scramblers that flip while spinning)
Threw his shoe at York so much that Penn ended up buying him sandals as a joke, a joke that Jersey didnât understand until YEARS later, he still loves and uses those sandals, his aim is unmatched when it comes to hitting York
Would get hit by Yorkie every time he said the R word (which he still doesn't fully believe is a slur but whatever Yorkie), this was specifically during the 2000s
Has brought every State to Action Park at least once when it was still open, itâs best not to question how he convinced Alaska and Hawaii or literally any other State, itâs just best not too
Jersey has a little devil that could in theory be related to the Jersey Devil, it's name is Impy
Have the next page of Jersey headcanons, take them off my hands
New Jersey-
So his father is TECHNICALLY the devil, not the Jersey Devil nono just..the devil
Because his father is literally Satan, Louisiana was very cautious around him in the beginning, Jersey did everything he could think of to gain his trust before realizing that itâll take Loui time before he does
Jersey has two moms, one (Mother) is Swedish while the other (Ma) is Dutch
He has magic, like its demon magic but he has magic, heâs also able to grab a full health report crops and plants, he isnât the garden state for no reason
While some states are tall or short depending on their state size, New Jersey is in the group (mainly just OG13) that isnât his height because of his state
Speaking of height, heâs about 5â8, heâs not short, that doesnât mean he wonât jump onto the counters to get stuff from the shelves, it just mean he doesnât need too
Technically doesnât have a soul, the states all have souls but Jersey is kinda soulless, only kinda and technically though because he does have one, he just doesnât own it
HUGE nerd, loves anything from Star Trek to TMNT to Kingdom Hearts
Feel like this is obvious but he is a MASSIVE hockey guy, loves it, love to play it, thinks the Rangers can go to hell and so can the Flyers, literally only cares about the Devils
He is pretty neutral when it comes to football, both NYâs team plays in his state sure but they arenât his, that doesnât mean he wonât root for them, he just needs to be told too
Collects Baseball cards and used to play as well, but so did everyone else and their father in the 60s
Loves to make fudge and taffy, knows every states favorite of both and if they donât like either he also knows everyoneâs favorite chocolates as well
Has great memory, which is his downfall most times when he doesnât want to remember
Has severe trauma, has gone through many therapists because of it before landing on his current one
Calls Sweden âFather Swedenâ and Netherland âDad Netherlandâ, both are not too sure why or how he started calling them that, let only Jersey himself
Hey! Can I humbly request some Florida hcs?
(Iâm not sure if youâve already done it before though so feel free to skip if you have đ)
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, heâs still disappointed that Wet âN Wild never did anything that fun
He doesnât 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 doesnât do it too often but when he absolutely needs too or is bored he will
Likes barging into Caliâs room at random without any warning
Got into PokĂŠmon 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 heâs speaking Spanish half the time, has a very hard time comprehending English, itâs why he canât read, he can but just Spanish and only kind of most of the time
There are times where heâs 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 doesnât like out of control fire, something something trauma?
Steals Caliâs laptop at times, itâs just funny
He and Loui love to just exist in the same area, even if they arenât doing something together or are just sitting around not speaking, they just like the closeness
Does almost everything with Loui but if he isnât around then Florida will just mope and sulk until someone bothers him
He doesnât get sad often but if he does itâs straight to Loui he goes, if Loui isnât around then he goes to Cali and if Cali isnât 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 didnât 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
What kinda headcanons do you have for California
I didn't think the list was going to be as long as it is but once I started thinking more and more I couldn't stop lol
California-
Wet cat
He/They and no he wonât stop reminding you
Was very obsessed with shiny things, especially gold, when he was younger, now heâs only a ânormalâ amount of obsessed
Very pretty, like the definition, like if you look up the definition of pretty in the dictionary he comes up
Has an obscene amount of stim/fidget toys, squishies, the poke ones, even fidget spinners, they have them allÂ
Worked at the Berkeley laboratory in the 90s, specifically Berkeleyâs element hunting team
Used to be obsessed with Creepypastas, however is now obsessed with cryptids (âThey arenât the same thing shut up *state name here*â has been said a lot)
Will slip into a southern accent without warning, has given multiple southern states heart attacks because of this on more than 10 occasions
Loves to write, especially fanfiction, however there is no way they would EVER willingly show anyone these, they did once when he was drunk but New York never mentioned it and Cali did not remember
Loves Stardew Valley and Minecraft, will play them both for hours without realizing
Has absolutely horrible time management, as well as their general perception of time is also atrocious
Loves podcasts, tends to listen to them more than YouTube videos
The times that Jersey dragged him to Action Park ended with hospital stays and praying that the doctors wouldnât notice that he should definitely be dead
Been watching Smosh since it first started
Disney adult and proud
He started streaming on Twitch during the pandemic, occasionally being joined by Jersey, Nevada, or York, Florida joined stream once and has since been banned
Donât listen to what York says, he definitely knows how to cook (re: he has no idea what they are doing in the kitchen without help)
Knows a handful of languages but only fully knows English and Spanish, though he can read and understand Russian, they just canât speak it
Was forced to wear a dress once by Nevada and thatâs how they realized he wasnât fully male
He doesnât actually mind feminine pronouns, just prefers He/They
Has a ridiculously long skincare routine, at least 2 hours at night and an hour in the morning
Used to be attached at the hip with Washington and Oregon, they are all still close in a similar but not as much way like the NE are
They and New Mexico go out with Arizona once every few weeks to different areas of their respective states, occasionally Texas will join
Cali and Texas arenât related, they were both raised at one point by Mexico at the same time sure but they arenât related
Loves to learn about different cultures, especially Asian cultures
Didnât hate crowds until the pandemic, now canât stand them
His room is extremely cluttered and disorganized, canât even be considered organized chaos, their working on it (York had a stern talk with them about it)
They actually do understand Football, he just doesnât like the sport all too much
Feel like this is obvious but he is a HUGE nerd, like a bigger nerd than New York not that Cali knows that of course
*shakes cup* any spare NY hcâs? đď¸đď¸
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 heâll ever use a gun anymore
Heâs completely different when heâs sick, clingy and whiny and not to be left alone, imagine a 4 year old, thatâs him when sick
He doesnât 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.......thatâs it, heâs basically just a cat
Will drink tea just to piss Mass off
Doesnât 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 doesnât like Dominoâs or Papa Johnâs, to him they are just cheap imitations of good Italian food (despite Dominoâs not being Italian)
Knew Italian first, then learned Dutch and later English, if heâs exhausted heâll speak Dutch most likely, if heâs exhausted AND sick he speaks Italian and good luck understanding him cause oh boy itâs 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
Doesnât 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
Itâs 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)
May I humbly request more NY hcâs đď¸đď¸
*its fine if not*
Why of course good sir, I have way too much fun writing and thinking about these.
New York-
Has grandparents, itâs best you donât 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
âI have better ADHD than you doâ has been said multiple times by him to NJ
Likes to hike, doesnât 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 canât properly speak it
Used to call Jersey âJoiseyâ in the early 2000s, had to stop or else they would have gone to war
Currently calls Jersey âJerzâ or âTaffyâ, occasionally calls him âTrentâ but that normally ends with a shoe to the head
Likes to call Cali âBâ and âNiaâ
Will occasionally call Florida âDisneyâ and âSwampyâ
He does own a gun but prefers a knife
During 2020 he did cooking videos and âhow to acquire *blank item*â videos, would sometimes be joined by Vermont and Maine
New Hampshire is his cousin and his brother depending on the situationÂ
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
Heâs 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
Do you have any NY hcâs? Itâs fine it not lol đď¸đď¸
I do yes, took me a while cause I had to make a google doc to collect my thought's, but HERE
New York-
Despite there being a no pet rule in the StateHouse, New York has at least 5 pigeons and 2 cats
He finds it hard to show he cares about the other states, he can really only show that care to New Jersey and California
Heâs a happy drunk, just donât mention anything that happened in his own state and he will stay that way
He likes to do puzzles
While he likes horror movies, he canât do horror games
He and Jersey stopped talking when they both were in the mafia, only reconnecting in the 90s
He like to do sketches of his states, he has at least 16 sketch books
He and Cali go roller skating
New York never host NE game night, despite this he always tends to provide snacks
In 2000, New York, Jersey, Rhode, and a few southern states went back to highschool, during this He, Jersey, and Rhode all got Tumblr accounts, which are still used
While he prefers to be alone, he likes sleepovers, often times heâll drag Jersey to his room so he isnât alone
Heâs been cooking for Cali since he found out that Cali had somehow managed to burn water
Heâs a nerd, huge nerd, only the NE knows and only Jersey and Penn know the extent of that nerdom
I hope you enjoy this, I like Yorkie so this was fun to do and think about.
