I’m realizing I never shared these doodles from April lol. Just Alfred/ USA and some of the undeniably Appalachian states being Jonah/ West Virginia, Maisie/ North Carolina, Betsy/ Tennessee, & Roy/ Kentucky mostly circa early 1800s. Early frontier and wars with indigenous nations, Alfred spent a lot of time with these states. I’ll try to keep everything brief cause lol I do have a lot of Maisie-specific lore that can be better expanded upon another time, but I wanna share them cause why not

Alfred went from being this grumpy New Englander to being a bit more lighthearted and more like the funny charming Alfred of today, and a lot for that happened cause he spent so much time with these states especially Maisie/ North Carolina who’s quite friendly, very confident in herself and isn’t afraid to speak her mind or share a couple of jokes. Alfred doesn’t like Maisie at first cause he thinks she’s uncouth and insane. Maisie thinks Alfred is an uptight little bitch. But Alfred and Maisie eventually develop feelings for one another and Maisie becomes his first love. However, Alfred and also Maisie are extremely stubborn and neither are afraid of confrontation- this eventually leads to the breakdown of the relationship.

Alfred also from spending time with all of them learns a lot of new musical styles and actually it brings him closer with many southern states that aren’t in Appalachia and western ones as he expands. This is where he begins becoming less of a New Englander and slowly learns to accept new ways of let’s say being American so he begins to grow into the national rep.

Hm ok so some of this I’ll explain more when I work on my revolution arc- but the short version is many of the east coast states are slightly older than Alfred. And they barely agreed to put Alfred in charge especially cause he’s very aggressively a New Englander. So southern states especially aren’t his biggest fan and are rather hesitant.

Jonah/ West Virginia not being a state for much of the early 1800s yet existing as a representative of then his older brother Rich/ Virginia’s back country led to him develop a bit of a chip on his shoulder. And he sees Alfred as an outsider so he doesn’t particularly like him.

States like Betsy/ Tennessee & Roy/ Kentucky are super young during the early 1800s so not much to say about them. Actually TBH I don’t have much information for either Betsy or Roy other than Betsy is a Melungeon & plays the mandolin and is very musically gifted. Roy plays the banjo. I think Jonah plays the fiddle and Maisie plays the guitar.

So what anons saying is some city in Kentucky got mad, blew up a mountain and dug a new river?

From what I understand, yes.

Pennsylvania gets mad when Tennessee and Kentucky get drunk when hunting. She finds it rude and dangerous.

Iowa: Kentucky is banned from there, so we have to go somewhere else.

Kentucky: Well they shouldn’t say “all you can eat” if they don’t mean it.

Iowa: Kentucky, you ate a chair!

6. “You should probably go home.” “But I’m already home.” 7. “You’re an idiot.” “But you love me.”

1868

“I missed you,” Kendall says, kissing the side of Tim’s neck. 

Tim smiles, raises his hand to cup Kendall’s face. “I missed you too.” 

Kendall closes his eyes, allowing himself this moment before he asks how exactly Tim got here.

“I thought you were all under some kind of house arrest thing?”

“Del’s not too happy to be an enforcer, so-” Tim shrugs. “Plus I’m really good at sneaking out.”

Kendall rolls his eyes. “You’re an idiot.”

“But you love me.”

Kendall kissed Tim’s palm, happy that the guitar string callouses were returning, that the gun ones were fading. “But I do love you.”

He wants Tim to stay, but he wants him to get his statehood back too. “You should probably go home, you know.”

Tim kisses him. “You are my home, love.”

David (Tennesse) calls it T/Testosterone, but Henry (Kentucky) calls it "David's Androgynous Adventure Potions" and that's why he does not go with them for HRT anymore

Is Henry aware I'd die for him?

Ohio: Not gonna lie, that game on the DS where you played as the father, son, and holy spirit all at once while fighting the anti-christ who literally just wanted to be better at art than everyone was actually kind of fun.

Kentucky: I don't know what you're talking about, but I'm compelled to make a comment about how it relates to my life.

Everyone else on the group chat:...

Virginia: Why are you awake at three in the morning?

Ohio, sending a picture of him wearing sunglasses and a crop top while sitting on his kitchen counter: Time was written into existence by man, and I have unwritten it. You're welcome.

Wisconsin: Guys, the raccoon that keeps getting into my walls is back and I can hear it moving around.

VA to KY, sometime during the 1931-1932 Harlan County War: we have evidence that you plotted and/or helped to plot another coal strike in Harlan counties.

KY: well, if the federal government treated people the same way it treated a rich man's private property than this entire debacle would be nothing more than a whisper of a memory.

VA: be that as it may -

WV: *slams door to interrogation room open* IM HERE im here oh God am I late did I miss it?

VA:

KY:

VA: WV, wtf are you wearing?

KY: I didn't know your baby brother was a sympathizer to our cause

VA: hes not. He's confused. WV, what on earth are you wearing?

WV: you said we were going to imitate him!

VA: ...

VA: I said intimidate him

WV: ...

WV: oh

WV: *looks over at KY and begins to wave* hey coal buddy! Give'em hell!

VA: okay get out now
