i learned about Tim Wong who successfully and singlehandedly repopulated the rare California Pipevine Swallowtail butterfly in San Francisco. In the past few years, he’s cultivated more than 200 pipevine plants (their only food source) and gives thousands of caterpillars to his local Botanical Garden (x)
thinking about new york calling california goldie. and florida just goes up to new york to ask, "why do you call him 'goldie'? his hair and eyes are brown."
new york avoids florida's eyes as he responds with an air of aloofness, "because of the gold rush he had years back." it's a simple enough answer. but it's one florida isn't prepared to just accept.
"alaska had a gold rush too, you don't call him goldie."
as florida points this out, PA walks by with a smug look on his face.
"that's because new york doesn't have a crush on him."
Behold, my bias. As you can clearly tell by how they get a whole ✨Google doc✨, I have the most HCs and ideas about California’s character. I’ve worked on this for quite a while and I’ll keep updating it when new ideas come up. Feel free to suggest things or ask questions! Again, tell me if there’s anything I need to tag and I’ll add it.
Headcanon: when Texas is feeling particularly bitchy he'll call California Poppy to mock the close friendship they once had. This used to really upset Cal, but now he just calls him Tejas in response.
Can y'all send me your asks/headcanons? I don't know why but it feels like my brain will explode if i can't interact with this fandom but i don't know how
If i really really like the ideas I'll do a lil doodle or two
