Your gateway to endless inspiration
Hii! What is your favorite ship in WTTT? And what are your hcs for this ship? Thank you ☺️
Hiii, I am so sorry that this is so late, I really wanted to answer it earlier but I had to sleep to go skating and then I couldn't really think of headcanons for the ships that I think are cute.
BUT I do sorta have ships, like ColoVada is really cute and I can get behind it, same with CaliYork, it's real cute and I will read stuff for it. I also like JerseyVada mainly because of the casino/gambling rivalry that existed back in the day.
Unfortunately I don't really have any headcanons which was the main reason this took so long like I said, I didn't want this ask to just float in the void for a long time. So really sorry :/
(PS: I actually have done headcanons for ColoVada, this also has CaliFlo headcanons as well :D)
Look!!! Children!!!! Aren't they adorable. I've had a lil' Jersey design for a while but York...not so much, like at all, so y'all are getting this.
They are just so cute, I'm so good at this truly XD
Hi! Idk if ur still taking requests for little snippets, but is it possible to request a little snippet of NJ helping Loui with his messy curly hair in like- a hot day where humidity is a bitch? 👁️👁️
*🩴*
As a guy with curly hair most times, humidity is such a bitch and happens whenever it feels like here in Jersey, no consistency. So this hit close to home lol.
Every door in the state house was open, along with the windows. The Southern States were out barbecuing and the Northern States were suffering, except New Jersey.
It’s not like Jersey liked the heat, it was a pain in the ass, but it did mean he could go swimming and get good southern food, so he can’t complain too much. The problem was the humidity, it was ungodly humid out. Jersey knew humid intimately but this was ridiculous.
Almost every state was either in the pool or on the side relaxing or barbecuing. Almost. The only state that wasn’t with everyone was Louisiana, which Jersey would understand if it wasn’t for the fact that this is weather Loui would absolutely be in.
Jersey was about to go inside to find him when his name was called. Standing in the doorway was Loui, his hair frizzy and messy, looking just as miserable as most of the NE states felt.
Louisiana only had to say one word and Jersey would be at his beck and call. “Help”.
Jersey dragged Loui to his(Jersey's) room, looking at what products he had that could work, he realized he was severely lacking and would need to get more stuff again. He gave Loui a juice box and the tv remote and got to work.
Hair was hard, especially curly hair, it’s hard and annoying at the best of times and at the worst it’s near impossible. Jersey was basically an expert in all things hair but he was definitely wishing that Loui had come to him in the early morning before the humidity got too bad.
It took two hours but Jersey was able to put Loui’s hair into cornrows, that way if he wanted he could go swimming with the others. By the time the two got back outside some of the food was ready and it somehow got hotter and more humid, but at least now Loui’s hair wasn’t a mess.
(And if there was some magic involved to make sure his hair didn’t get affected by the humidity again, then that was between him and the demon he calls his friend).
I FINALLY drew SJ again, well technically I've actually drawn quite a bunch of sketches of her but none are posted on here. Anyway I love her <3
I got bored few days ago and had this idea that the New states have a group chat sooooo heres the New state GC that no asked for :D

Your local Jersian is back, it is an actual winter wonderland outside soooo
@nohappinessinthisworld Alright I finally did it, NJ headcanons. I had fun doing these
New Jersey-
Refuses to try Poutine, says that it’s just Disco Fries but worse
Suffers every summer, he can deal with the heat but he doesn’t like it
Never fully understood why murder was so bad until around the 90s when some good friends of his got murdered
He doesn’t like hurting the OG13 since he considers them apart of his family, so whenever he does it’s a complete tonal shift for about a week
He doesn’t 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 it’s tropical or a hurricane or just a storm with lightning he HATES it, he’s 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 there’s snow sticking in the state, if it’s a lot of snow his face will get way paler, his cheeks blueish and his freckles look like snowflakes
“Jersey if you stab Colorado with your skate blade again I’m tellin yer Ma” -Mass every single time there’s 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 doesn’t count because it’s 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 that’s besides the point)
Oh he has horns and a tail alright, but he doesn’t have them always, he can just hide them and whatnot so most of the states don’t 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 don’t have family’s, that they just spawned out of nowhere, in his mind it shouldn’t be possible but it is (“You can’t just CREATE mass like that, just because magic exists doesn’t mean you can just IGNORE SCIENCE!!!!”)
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, it’s all very interesting and mildly terrifying to him
Trained marksman, owns two guns but rarely uses them unless their stressed, then it’s 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 can’t 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
Have NJ and NY. Just wanted to do a quick sketch, bit bored, hockey in a few hours though so I have that to look forward too :D
I hath come to humbly ask thee for Texas hc’s 👁️👁️
*do not feel forced or rushed to answer this!!*
It's not been almost a whole day, I don't know what your on about. Seriously though sorry this is late, I wanted to get it done yesterday but sadly I do have a friend who also likes hockey so, anyway ENJOY!!!
Texas-
He can sing and play the guitar really well
Big ol’ stargazer, was very sad when he realized that the StateHouse wasn’t in the best location to stargaze
He doesn’t agree with a lot of what happens in his state, not that he has much of a choice but if asked in private he makes his opinion pretty known
Will occasionally drink a glass of oil, yea know, for the funnies, the other states are absolutely disgusted, even the ones with oil drilling
He’s never actually done drugs, like it was very tempting at one point but he never actually tried it and doesn’t plan too
Owns a dirt bike and bought a few other southern states one as well to do races
He’s smart, but specifically the stupid kind of smart, the kind of smart that got a super collider built but dumb enough to not be able to convince the government to keep throwing money into the project (this is real, this did happen and I love it so much it’s so interesting)
Manipulative bastard (affectionate??)
He doesn’t always dress like he’s a cowboy from the deep south, he actually has a lot of what the NE states call “normal people clothes”, he just prefers to dress like what he is, a gay cowboy
Whore (affectionate)
Was the one who started the southern Minecraft server, mainly so he could bomb Oklahomo legally
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.
Oh look, what a surprise, a drawing from mwah. It's just the boys, NJ stole Rhodes hat and then had his taken by Del. Also yes Jersey is that much taller than them, I meant to put their heights but oops, Rhodes like 5'2 Dels 5'3 and Jerseys 5'8 so take that as you will.
*falls from the ceiling fan*
May we please have Loui hc’s? 👁️👁️
*completely fine if not dw <3*
Ask and thou shall receive :3
He’s 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 he’s exhausted then there is no hope for understanding him
He won’t be in a good mood if he’s 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 doesn’t 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, “it’s not a problem *state name here* I will literally die without it”
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, it’s his favorite pastime
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, he’s met a bunch, but it is so much funnier to say they aren’t when California tries to prove they are
Collects YuGiOh cards, started because Florida got really into Pokémon but he couldn’t 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 doesn’t care if there is another couch, he wanted to be on this one and he doesn’t care how
Since there’s no hockey for you for 10 days, could you draw a state maybe playing hockey?
So I wanted to get this done immediately, went onto Pinterest for references because while I never use them, references would be the only way I could do this, got distracted looking at hockey memes, went and bothered my father and here we are now...oops?
It's not the best but considering I really didn't have a reference pic for this exact pose, I gotta say I think I did pretty well :D
May we please have some NY hc’s? 👁️👁️
*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!!
Doesn’t 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 that’s for sure
He found out that there was a another New state when he found New Mexico going through his kitchen, he still doesn’t 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 didn’t help at all seeing as now he’s all sorts of something
While he and Jersey seem attached at the hip, they actually don’t 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 can’t stand it now
Spinny chair go brrrrr
“I’m not autistic, I just don’t like you”
He can’t 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 doesn’t like fireworks, they are pretty much way to loud for him to be okay
Used to have a pet duck
I don’t have tumblr on my phone but I do have discord. I promise my hand writing isn’t always that messy, I was writing with my finger.
I’m so sorry if you can’t read what I said, basically I was just saying how drawing is inconsistent on ipad, that I drew half of this with my finger, and that I love my Jersey design, so my normal tag notes but writen.
hehe demon. It's cute, it's simple, I like it :D
I don’t know if you’re still doing this but if you are may I please request a Greg or New Mexico drawing? If not then that’s ok! But I love your sketch style it looks very appealing
Awww I'm glad you like the style, also yes I'm pretty much always doing this, they never close. Went with New Mex by the pool, in the middle of winter (not like he cares).
could you do Ny/Nj/Cal being fluffy?
So ok, I wasn't sure if you wanted this to be writing or a drawing or headcanons about them, so I just did a drawing. Sorry btw that it's so late, I had no idea what to do for this.
May we have some NY and NJ hc’s? Like- stuff that they do together and how they act with each other? 👁️👁️
*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 isn’t 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 it’s 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)
“Murder is illegal” “You can’t murder people it’s rude” 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, doesn’t matter if they are doing two completely different things, they’ll 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, doesn’t matter if the sitch doesn’t 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 ‘gossip’ 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 it’ll 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 it’s switched
Jersey finds it hilarious whenever people think he and York are dating, they aren’t, they consider each other brothers and technically are, York always wants to kill the people who do think they are dating, “Murder is Illegal Yorkie” he doesn’t care
Family dinners are once a month with Jersey’s 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 it’s basically that but with blackmail
If one’s sick the others clingy, if one's sad the others clingy, if one-
They like to dance with each other, even if there’s no music (it’s 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
Can I request more Texas head canons please? Maybe some of which involve his relationships with the rest of the South? Thank you 🖖
I apologize for how long this took, I walked away from the computer for a few hours and then when I remembered I had to do this, I had no idea what to do for Texas BUT I managed (it is pretty short tho whip whomp)
Texas-
Tends to get dragged out by Mississippi and Alabama, doesn’t matter what he’s doing at that time, they don’t give him a choice
He doesn’t like Oklahomo, he just ever so happens to know pretty much everything about him and vice versa
He’ll never admit it but he does have some fidget toys, most of them are just for one hand
The few times he’s sick is normally spent with Tennessee, Virginia, and Oklahomo, because if Texas is sick then so is Okla
Threatens to shoot Florida pretty much every time he dares to just breathe in his direction, it’s all jokes...mainly
Goes woods with Montana when they both have a bad-ish day
Tries stealing Virginia’s photo book with Oklahomo every time they remember how much blackmail material is in there (not that Virginia realizes that)
Got forced into magnet fishing with New Mexico, Arkansas, and South Carolina, the amount of guns he found was hilarious but also ridiculous
Hehe ~Guns~
Confuses English and Spanish occasionally, so he’ll be in the middle of talking at the table and suddenly is speaking Spanish without realizing it
I wrote more, for some reason I wrote more, thats it -_-
New Jersey-
The StateHouse garden is probably among the best in the whole country. Containing every single state flower and regional based plants, it’s truly a sight to behold, but it wasn’t always like this.
The original garden was pitiful, pretty much every plant was dead and overall just ruined the backyard. When some of the states asked Gov why it was like this, his answer was that he had no idea and the states are free to do whatever with it. Jersey took this answer and ran with it.
He basically banned anyone from going to that part of the backyard, and would barely be seen during the following weeks, when he was seen he was covered in dirt and mud. Then he started taking states aside, asking them questions about their state flowers and native plants, if the state didn’t know Jersey sent them on a quest to find out (because really you should know this by now it’s your own stat-).
Some states started to get concerned that Jersey wasn’t getting any rest, they never saw him leave that area of the backyard, and when New York heard about this he dragged Jersey away and forced him to take care of himself.
By the time the garden was almost complete it had been 2 months.
When the states got to see the area for the first time they were blown away, everything was done in a way that made sure that it was not only done state by state, but also in a way that made sure every flower and plant had the correct conditions for them to thrive.
No one knew how he did it, but Jersey was able to make everything look cohesive while still feeling like every plant got the spotlight. It felt like he took every chaotic thing that made America America, and made it better and cohesive.
He showed them another thing as well, a food garden and greenhouse, the greenhouse was already there when the states moved in but had been in disrepair, and the food garden was Jersey’s little side project, despite the fact that it wasn’t little and was basically bigger than the main garden.
In the end the garden is the one outdoor space that the states can properly relax in without arguing with each other, and whether that’s because of the garden itself or just a little bit of magic, is up to you to decide.
I'm going skating but I decided to whip this up before I left sooo ENJOY!!!
New Jersey-
Every region has their own thing that they do as a fun competition. The West Coast does comedy nights, where they see who can make the most people laugh. The South has what they call Hunt Offs, to see who’s the best hunter. And the Midwest likes to do cook offs, with the South being taste testers.
The North Coast has play fights, multiple rounds through the course of two days, normally held on a weekend. This includes Maine all the way at the top of the North Coast, all the way down to Florida, which allows for a larger roster.
It started as just a thing the New Netherland area did, over time it expanded to include the whole of the North East, then Delaware wanted Maryland to join and soon it spireled to the whole North Coast.
Of course it started out friendly enough, everyone tended to go a bit softer on Georgia since he isn’t nearly as rough as everyone else. Then North and South Carolina would make a bet when they fought, which had Pennsylvania open up a proper betting pool. The play fighting weekend always ended up with everyone sore to all hell and back, saying to themselves to never do this again and specifically never go up against New Jersey again.
Jersey was strong, while it didn’t visibly look like he could pretty easily lift 400 like it was 20, he could. However he often forgot just how strong he was compared to everyone else, it wasn’t like the rest of the states were weak but when compared to them, Jersey was like a powerhouse.
He isn’t too sure as to why he’s so strong, especially since he normally comes off as looking like a twig, however he did believe it was most likely something demon related. He knows his own demon, not father, father is no slouch in the strength department, and Jersey also knows that he could easily get his strength up more.
It’s not like he wants to hurt the others, he really doesn’t, sure it’s a bit funny to have Northie pinned down after five seconds of fighting and sure it’s amazing to be better than Yorkie, but it doesn’t make up for the fact that he’s hurting friends, people who are basically his family.
Despite him being significantly stronger than the others, he never has actually won before. He always gets in his head when up against Yorkie, always ends up hurting him the worst, always dropping out after and just watches over the betting pools.
It’s basically tradition at this point for Jersey to tend to everyone’s wounds after this, whether it’s early in the games or he and Yorkie were in the semi finals, it doesn’t matter.
Jersey has a big heart, a big heart that can’t bear to see him hurt his family, so he’ll try to make up for it. Cooking for everyone involved, taking care of their wounds if Rhody brought a knife again (seriously he has got to stop doing that), just generally being a nicer person for a good week before he starts to go back to normal.
The next time the play fighting happens, the same thing will happen again, a vicious cycle that Jersey can’t snap himself out of.
So I added a fanfic snippet part to the google doc, wrote one for Jersey, Cali and then York, and York's the only one I want to share at the moment. Maybe I will share the other ones if asked but for now it's just this, ENJOY
New York liked to sleep, it was peaceful and calming and he didn’t have to think about everything going on around him, it was the perfect break from his ADHD mind. However sleep did not like him, he wouldn’t be able to sleep for days until he basically passed out.
Mass was able to figure out that because NYC is the city that never sleeps, New York can’t really either. The two figured out that as long as he keeps up with a routine, he should be able to get to sleep easier and faster, though having a routine has its own problems.
Table meetings could happen very early in the morning sometimes, and if York had to go to those meetings it would screw his whole schedule up. It wasn’t until one night where he finally was able to have a solution.
It was pouring out, rolls of thunder after flashes of lightning happening what seemed like every second. York likes the rain and thunder, it was calming, especially when the wind was loud, it was easiest for him to fall asleep.
This was not the case for New Jersey. Jersey hated storms, wouldn’t be able to fall asleep until it was barely raining anymore and that wasn’t even consistent. He used to like them, though not as much as York did, but after hurricane Irene in 2011 and hurricane Sandy the following year, he could never see them the same.
This is why it wasn’t all too surprising to hear hard knocking on his door, opening it to find an exhausted and wet faced Jersey. Letting him in and onto the bed, the two sat there for a long while until York heard light snores coming from the other.
New York sat there even longer just thinking, hearing the rain start to die down he felt himself start to tire. He wasn’t feeling particularly tired before, but now, with Jersey laying on top of him as peacefully as someone afraid of storms can, he felt just as exhausted as Jersey had looked.
For the first time in a few days, New York found himself able to sleep with ease as the wind slowed and the constant thunder and lighting became less and less.
The two didn’t speak of this afterward, they never tended to when it came to storm sleepovers, York preferred just to remind him that he’s always free to come over if he can’t sleep, this time however Jersey said that the offer was mutual.
York thought this over a few nights later when he couldn’t sleep and desperately needed to. Making up his mind, he snapped over to Jersey place, knocked on the door and waited for a moment before it opened.
When Jersey questioned why he was here York only said “Wanna have a sleepover?”.
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, there’s 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 Mother’s last name and Bakker his Ma’s
Despite it being hundreds of years, he still isn’t used to English, words never come out quite right, there’s almost always something just slightly missed pronounced even when taking his accent into account
If he’s 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 ‘Yorkie’ Vermont ‘Monty’ Kentucky ‘Ken’ (he’s the only one allowed too) California ‘Westie’ Florida ‘Dia’ ‘Sunshine’ or ‘Flo Rida’ 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 don’t
Jersey has a Jersey Devil plush, had it since he was a young child, it’s his prized possession along with one of Connie’s books from the 1850s that he ‘borrowed’
When he was younger, Jersey would go to Devil’s 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 didn’t 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, it’s best not to question how he convinced Alaska and Hawaii or literally any other State, it’s just best not too
Jersey has a little devil that could in theory be related to the Jersey Devil, it's name is Impy
May I request some Texas and Montana art? I feel like they could be silly cowboy/wilderness friends :D
(I feel like Montana would take one look at Texas and hand over the adoption papers for him to si-*dies*)
I am so sorry this took so long, I had so much trouble figuring out what to do for some reason and then by the time I had time to draw I had to do something else because I said I would. Anyway here, in the end I'm glad that I took time to think this one over cause it's kinda cute won't lie :D
could you do some Montana, Wyoming, and Arkansas art?? i think their neat
So sorry I took so long, but I got around to doing it today. Anyway TA-DAAA, just them existing. Why is Montana upside down? Why not XD
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 it’ll 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, he’s also able to grab a full health report crops and plants, he isn’t 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 isn’t his height because of his state
Speaking of height, he’s about 5’8, he’s not short, that doesn’t mean he won’t jump onto the counters to get stuff from the shelves, it just mean he doesn’t need too
Technically doesn’t 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 doesn’t 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 NY’s team plays in his state sure but they aren’t his, that doesn’t mean he won’t 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 don’t like either he also knows everyone’s favorite chocolates as well
Has great memory, which is his downfall most times when he doesn’t want to remember
Has severe trauma, has gone through many therapists because of it before landing on his current one
Calls Sweden ‘Father Sweden’ and Netherland ‘Dad Netherland’, both are not too sure why or how he started calling them that, let only Jersey himself
I have Jersey headcanons and gosh darn it, it's a tad long, so I'm only doing like one page at a time, I'll post the other ones later probably...if I remember. ANYWAY HERE!!
New Jersey
Constantly moving, either tapping his foot or moving his legs, always dancing too, if there’s music he’s moving
He also tends to sing whatever song is on his mind, whether it’s English or not
He knows all of the states comfort foods
Controls the entire StateHouse garden, and is the reason there is a flower garden, if you want a flower in that garden you talk to him to figure out where said flower needs to go and what conditions it needs
He and New Mexico managed to convince Gov to let them have a pool at the StateHouse
When he was learning the south’s comfort foods, he managed to convince Texas to teach him how to make a brisket, yes it’s not really any of the south’s comfort food but it’s a southern thing so of course he needed to learn
When angry he’ll switch into different accents, Spanish, Dutch, Swedish, and surprisingly to some, southern
South Jersey is pretty southern, one of his comfort foods is grits
When he hosts NE dinner at his home, he makes sure to add in dishes that are shared favorites
Any and all produce that can be grown in NJ climate, is grown in his back garden with all the accommodation they need
Mafia boss, he doesn’t partake anymore and technically the guy he was is dead but still, the power remains
Used to be a show boy, occasionally still is with Nevada
Just mildly obsessed with roller coasters
During the summer, if he’s not at the shore then he’s most likely at Great Adventure
While it’s not his favorite game, he LOVES to play Just Dance
His room is actually in the south hall instead of the north, he’s between Texas and Oklahoma, he switched with New Mexico because he would have had to be between Penn and Mass and he would rather die than be between that warzone
Has lots of animals on his farm but his favorite are his horses, a few of which he was given by Kentucky
Taught Kentucky, Tennessee, and Ohio how to play poker and blackjack, the only thing is, is that Jersey taught them how to cheat without them knowing
Jersey never actually cheats in card and money games, he just knows how to play
Stopped talking to Nevada in the 80s because of Atlantic City, Nevada understood it was because they were rivals and also the mafia but it doesn’t stop Jersey from feeling bad about it
Despite what everyone tends to think, Jersey likes to keep to himself and is relativity quiet for the most part, it just so happens that he is normally around people that he either likes (NY, NM, NH, Cali, Rhode, Del) or has strong feelings about (Mass, Penn, NY, Connecticut, Virginia), which makes him loud
May I humbly request hc’s for the gay traumatized cowboy with daddy issues (texas)?👁️👁️
Oooooo yess, Texas was a fun one to think about because I had to think like a southerner slightly, and I live in Jersey lol (granted Jersey gets pretty southern if you go too far but I don't live there)
Texas-
Used to hunt a lot, however with the Table becoming slightly more important in the 2020s he had to slow it down significantly
Has a massive ranch, horses, cattle, chickens, you name it, Texas probably has it
Would actually kill someone (but specifically Cali) if they took his hat, there is no way he is letting Austin be in control for that long
His wires are slightly crossed, hence Austin or literally any of his cities (though honestly the cities being personified depends on the state, Texas has researched this before and it’s not worth asking why, you won’t get an answer)
Guns lol
Will occasionally just cough up oil, it’s not common but it is annoying
He’s not gay, at all, what so ever, he’s just a very straight cowboy livin his life (guess the lie here, hint: he is for sure livin his life and is a cowboy)
He doesn’t hate Oklahomo, he just wishes the absolute best for him and the absolute best is dying
Loves cooking as much as he does hunting, which is a lot, he’ll do it whenever he wants, for basically no reason, it’s a fun hobby for him
Has dinner every other Sunday with Mexico and other Spanish speaking countries, Cali, Arizona, and NM will also join from time to time
He likes history a lot more than people realize, he has to be good at it to say that it’s all fake duh
Hates snow, never wants it ever again, the one time he got snow he doesn’t remember BECAUSE HE BASICALLY DIED MAINE (he’s only slightly dramatic, he didn’t die but it sure did feel like it)
Made Jersey teach him how to make “proper pizza” since he taught him how to make a brisket
He’s tall, like 6’3 tall, he could technically go taller but 6’3 doesn’t make him feel like he’s stretching his skin
If he’s exhausted then he won’t understand a lick of English, he doesn’t get that tired often but when he does it’s turned into a game to see who can get him to bed first (It’s normally Alabama or Oklahomo- I mean homa, Oklahoma)
Went back to high school in the 2000s, an experience he doesn’t know if he regrets or wants to study under a microscope
Has three dogs, they are his babies along with his horses, he fought long and hard to convince Gov to let him have them at the StateHouse even with the no pets rule that like 3 people didn’t follow at the time
Loves Football, obviously, Sunday Football is spent outside with barbeque and the entire south, even if their team isn’t playing
Doesn’t actually hate Cali, he thinks that he’s an idiot and never knows when to shut up but he can admire how smart he actually is even if Texas would never say it out loud, and Austin, Austin was a big reason
