Follow-up to this post. Yankee is of a disputed origin, but I decided to marry the thought that to was 1) used to insult Dutch colonists by English colonists & 2) that the British army picked up that it was an insult BUT began using it against new Englanders together.

Anyways the two others here are Jennie/NY (then New Netherland) & Henry / Massachusetts. Also my Alfred began as Plymouth colony ✌️

In case you thought I forgot about this…I didn’t 😅

1. Nevada/New Jersey here.

Today we have Colorado/Georgia, requested by @and-the-flame-burns. Honestly I never pictured them together before now but after thinking about it…it works. I can’t explain it, but it works.

They’re both a bit like cats; they find the sunniest spot in the house and nap for hours.

Texas and California agree on very few things, politically speaking. However, they 100% operate a Tesla hate account together, but for very different reasons. California hates muskmelon and Texas just hates EVs. It is very confusing for the other states when they walk in on them hunched over one of their phones together, not arguing at all.

hi! i love your content as a fellow us states fan hehe 🫶 i am intrigued by your virginia and would love to know more him (as a virginian, naturally)

Ok yess 😈 I’ll explain a bit about Rich/ Virginia . I should mention much of my thoughts about Rich pertain to his relationship to Northeastern states. I’ll put it below the cut :D

Rich is your stereotypical southern gentleman type- charismatic, well-mannered, and a bit of flirt. He’s also very meticulous about his appearance. Over the years among his fellow states, despite being very staunchly southern, he has a reputation for being strategic, and cool headed. This is a notable difference in comparison to his peer, Carl/South Carolina, because he is much less stubborn and much more willing to work with northern states toward the same goals despite their differences.

When Alfred, who interpret as a New Englander originally, was quite wary of Rich when he first properly started working him. After all Henry/ Massachusetts, his cousin oft had only negative things to say. However, Alfred had some experience seeing Rich and the other colonies work together during the French & Indian War. And Rich came out as a sort of leader amongst them because his military ability especially with his work with then Colonel Washington. Alfred wanted to hate on Rich, but he found himself stopping short.

Rich wasn’t interested really in leading and would be considered too let’s say biased being a pre-existing colony- hence why ultimately Alfred comes to represents the United states (he was initially Plymouth colony, which dissolved and for a while his status was unclear). Rich did however become one of Alfred’s early advisors, and he gained further respect for him. Well until the civil war occurred—🫡☝️ the Civil War would require like several posts for me to explain since there’s a few major parts. Time eventually heals- while Rich doesn’t hold the same exact position that he once did, he still has respect amongst his fellow states and Alfred.

Henry/ Massachusetts and Rich have often worked closely together. Henry doesn’t like anyone tbh 💀 especially southerners, he used to view all of them as living in excessive sin. But he always liked working with Rich (and debating Rich). He could appreciate Rich’s skill to captivate a crowd, and lead them. They’ve never been close friends, but Rich is one of Henry’s favorites to debate. Rich…can appreciate Henry’s persistence.

Jennie/ New York & Rich have oft work together as well. She’s always admired his leadership, worldliness, and politeness. Her direct neighbors are New Englanders, who had been a little more closed off, and she’d oft troll them 💀 especially when she was a Dutch colony. But Rich despite the slight distance, was someone she always admired for those aforementioned qualities. So she often enjoys doing business with him.

Edna / Maryland is Rich’s long time friend, and sometimes girlfriend. They grew up with one another and always got along. Edna tends to be rather cold, and reserved which contrasts with Rich’s more warm and open tendencies. They’ve had their ups and downs, and some secrets. But their relationship needs another post.

In the interest of not taking your ear off- I do have a few other posts about him that I’ll link here.

Arthur & Rich + Jonah / West Virginia (who I decided recently, isn’t his biological brother) & Rich

“What are the worst things to say when you’re getting mugged?”

As promised, here’s the silly lil northeast comic y’all voted for. It was based off a skit I saw a few years ago that I cannot for the life of me find now but it was so Northeast coded I couldn’t not draw it

Pennsylvania is the only one who actually gets a gun, the others you get to decided if they’re bluffing or not
