Headcanon Time Because My Tag Paragraphs Get Shorted To Nada And I Didn't Realize
Headcanon time because my tag paragraphs get shorted to nada and I didn't realize
Okay I'm a dumbass and didn't ever realize or notice that tumblr has a tag cap, because at least to my knowledge it does not tell you that you've hit a limit. So I shall rant about a kinda dumb headcanon I have for the states.
Warning: This bitch is longer than I thought it would be, you have been warned!!
ALRIGHT SO. The way I tend to draw the height for states is based off of two things, their state size and vibes, this is however excluded for the OG13 and then some.
This rule-ish not applying to them is because they all have actual families. Now you may be thinking "What the hell does that mean" and I am so glad you asked.
I haven't really talked about outside of the headcanon things but both New Jersey and New York have families, NJ his moms and technically the devil from the bible, NY his grandparents.
This also goes for the rest of the OG13, they all have families that while those who raised them aren't around anymore that family line still is. This is to the exception of Maryland because he is somehow even farther from being human than states normally are.
Anyway because of this, the OG13 heights are not based in state size, instead it is technically a strange mix between family genes and land size, only technically because those like Mass and Virginia are both taller(mass) and shorter(ginny) than one would assume based on state size. It's basically a ruelette on whether or not you get genes over state size and somehow Rhode STILL managed to be short as hell, bro rolled wrong TWICE XD.
Now it should be interesting to note that it's pretty much only the OG13 that have weird height despite the few other states who have family are locked to their state size. This would include Texas, Louisiana, both the Dakotas, Utah, Mississippi, Oklahoma, Alabama, and Minnesota Wisconsin and Michigan- I see these three at least somewhat related in some way shape or form so thats why they are together like that.
So despite states out side of the OG13 having actual human families they are related to, it's only the OG13 that aren't state size locked and there could be some reasons for this.
For one it could be that colonies more or less aren't locked to their size, mainly because colonies can mix and it's shown quite a lot in history that there were no firm lines between colonies. So it would make sense that when the states (then colonies) were growing up they weren't locked to the size of the colony and rather just their family genes.
It could also be that because they were already adult age (or close to it) it was too far for weird border magic to effect them since they were too old and such. This would make sense and work well with this idea that the other states with families outside of the OG13 are sized locked because their borders were a lot clearer by the time they were older.
Another reason could be because they all have families, which yes doesn't make much sense but here me out. All of them excluding NJ and Maryland had normal human families, it could be that because they had families they were only labeled as personified states once the country became a country. This doesn't mean that they weren't already personifications, just that you have to be labeled a state for border size to take effect, however once again since they were all already adults or almost adults, it wouldn't take effect.
And the final reason I can think of could just be that they were a special case, considering the fact that (if I'm remembering correctly) there aren't personification of the Canadian provinces in canon. It very well could be that yes normally states whether they have family or not are state sized locked, but since they would have been a special case in that there weren't personification like them before that the magic creating state personifications was newly born and didn't have rules yet. This would also explain why they would have families to begin with, the magic had to pick those who lived there to be those personifications, meaning they originally human. The only real problem with this one is the fact that states outside of them have families, however this could be explained, it could have been a lack of people in the area to build a personification from, it also could have been in the southern states case that because family is pretty important there, it made sense to chose those from families instead while still keeping the rules in place.
Now this is a whole lot and it kind of sounds like I've gone insane thinking about this but honestly this is mainly just me typing before I think lol. Is it clear that I needed a reason as to why some states are not close to their state size, because I feel like it is.
I do want to say that the states do have some control over their height, Texas could get taller but it would feel wrong and that goes for most already tall states, it's vice versa for the smaller states who may already be at their height cap by default. I'm not super sure if the OG13 should be able to change their height slightly, mainly because they are all more human to an extent than the other states, of course ignoring whatever the hell Mary is and the fact that NJ is related to the devil from the bible because lord knows those two are not as close (or close at all in Mary's case) to being human like their fellow states with families.
Now height isn't super important but I feel it can explain some dynamics people may have. If you have a tall friend and a short friend, theres gonna be a lot of short jokes. Two short friends and it's a whole lot of complaining about not being able to reach anything. Two tall friends and it's either complaining about feeling claustrophobic in lower ceilings or feeling like your god because your taller than everyone. Two friends of the exact same height and it will always be a competition to see who is truly taller (it's neither but their in denial).
You have to think about these things when making characters because it can effect the dynamic, obviously not by much but still, it's important to know. So while this might seem like far to much thinking when it's literally just a funny internet series that was the only way you knew the news during covid, I find it important. Sure I may never actually write a proper fic and I will probably really only stick to my funny lil drawings, it feels important.
My drawings are like snippets to what happens in the day to day crazy-ness in either the Statehouse or just with the states, thus it is important to me that I have their heights to how I have my headcanons set up when drawing. It's small details like that, that convey a story when drawing without doing an actual comic, it brings life when I know my drawings can be a little stiff, it's about the story and maybe that's just the writer within me talking but I don't care XD.
Basically I just like having some sort of reason as to why the heights for the OG13 aren't consistent with their state size when I draw them. What can I say, I'm a dork :D.

Day 21: XisumaVoid (everyones favorite admin)
Look at him, isnt he great, I had a lot of fun drawing X, even if I had procrastinated for majority of the day. Really tho I love this one lolz
*sigh* The voices won
Never thought I'd get to the point of no return and make HP fanart but HERE WE ARE!!
Ahem, anyway, here's the quad, debated on whether or not I wanted to draw Marcus as well but decided not to soooo...yeah...enjoy?
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).
Day 18: Grian (pesky bird)
yesyes I know, Im behind yada yada, give me six years and Ill have an idea of what I want to do for Keralis. anyway I really like this one, wanted to color but thought it would be best if I didnt. anyway elytra grian is life
Devils had NO FUCKING RIGHT to make me go through all that, I was FAR to fucking stressed at the end I just about gave myself a heart attack!!!
Do you do ship headcanons? Would it be okay if I request some
I do now! And of course it's okay, do not fret since I shall've delivered
CaliFlo - GoldenSunshine
Their dates normally consist of Cali trying to coral Florida into not doing something destructive, and normally ends with one or both of them being the reason they are banned from another place
They cuddle, a lot, always
Some states bet that they wouldn’t be together for a month, the NE got like 50 dollars because of that bet
When Cali’s sad, Florida just lays on him till they aren’t sad anymore
When Florida’s sad, Cali will bring him either to the shore or Disney World, if that doesn’t work he gets Loui
They’ll do little drawing competitions with each other, just drawing either a character or they’ll go to a park and draw the scenery
Florida introduced Cali to first person shooters, they now play every Saturday
The times where Florida wants to cook, he’ll get the help of Loui to make sure it’s edible, Cali doesn’t care if it’s edible or not, he just cares that Florida thought to cook
Cali got Florida into the world of sitcoms, which takes over their Friday nights
They dance around in the living room when Cali has a record playing
They just like to sit together, even if they are doing completely different things
ColoVada - ColdCasino
During the winter they go snowboarding and ice skating, during the summer they go to casinos and dancing
Very visibly in love, to an almost sickly amount
They would just lie in bed for hours if they had nothing to do
Nevada will dress Colorado up just for fun, and he lets him, just whatever he wants him to wear Colorado will
Colo is the only person allowed to brush Nevs hair
They watch those horrible Christmas romance movies when tis the season
Colo always makes sure to go to Nevs shows
Nev found this indoor snowboard and ski place that he took Colo to as a date, now they go once every weekend
Nev always makes sure to make time for Colo considering that he has a much busier schedule than Colo
Nevada just always sits on Colo, whether it’s in a meeting or just being around the StateHouse, Nev never uses an actually chair
EEeeehhehehehehe thank youuuu!!
How about some nice, good ol happy, totally not sad at all what so ever NJ headcanons (you could throw in some angst ones as well, I certainly won't complain)
Hello small mortal, yes yes I do have some NJ hc’s for ya here ya go :)
NJ braids flowers into his hair even if it’s not long enough and he has definitely tackled his brothers to the ground to put flowers in their hair too.
^he’ll never admit it but NY’s was his favorite to do since it’s long and fluffy.
He’s really good with hair for some reason and no one knows why. He’s one of the only people that NY’s allows to touch his hair.
His tail wags when he’s happy :>
Taught Texas how to take care of his bat wings since his own wings are very similar and he was lowkey horrified when he found out that Texas was keeping them folded 24/7 and not fixing them when they get hurt and not asking for help when his wings are hurting.
He can do a really loud blood curdling screech if he wants to
One of NJ’s horns has a crack in it and is shorter than the other. Courtesy of England’s bitch ass.
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
So apparently I'm most like Donnie??? No idea how, like yeah I'm tall and smart and want a bonk stick but zero idea how I got him (I'm not complaining tho, I like being told I'm smart)
*falls from the ceiling fan*
May we please have Loui hc’s? 👁️👁️
*completely fine if not dw <3*
Ask and thou shall receive :3
Louisiana-
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
