virginia I need help gov caught me with the meth again :((

-flo 🐊

Why do you remind me of Mass when we were younger?

[mur-art]

Hello Mur, I hope you’re having a good time

May I request some Mass/Ginny? And if not them, then maybe just some Virginia?

Thank you :)

You just remind me of the nights of smoke and dirty jokes

Darkened rooms with lonely ghosts

And they were beautiful some time ago

But time keeps rollin' us on

Some historical Mass/Ginny. The southern gentleman and the (ex)Puritan sailor (who by this point has a true talent for swearing like one). Name a more iconic duo.

I drew this while listening to like 4 hours of sea shanties so… take that as you will 😂

Let me know if you have HCs about these two! I’d like to know what, if anything, this scene inspires.

Close up of Mass’s face under the cut bc he’s a cutie

[derek-draws-stuff]

More headcannons

Connecticut’s closet is stuffed with hoodies, like, he can barely fit them in there anymore

Massachusetts just has a bunch of hats, bucket hats, beanies, baseball caps. He just has them and has worn them at least once each

Gov definitely has a drawer of just random things that he swears he’ll end up needing one day, like a broken pencil or some random bouncy ball he found on the ground somewhere

New York is literally good at most things art related, drawing? He’s got it down. Painting? Too good at it. He’s got all the skills

If the states play dnd (sometimes they do), they have home brew classes that are just their state’s stereotype (ex. Florida man)

Maryland crab walks in shallow waters at the beach and probably crawls out of the water basically submerged. Just crawling out on his elbows or something

New York is REALLY good with languages, he’s fluent in a lot and is almost fluent in the rest

Connecticut has Lyme disease, this isn’t a debate

West Virginia has two bulldogs; Babydog (who he definitely didn’t steal), and another named Daisy because he couldn’t bear letting Babydog be alone without a friend.

[theywhoshantbenamed]

May I ask for Virginia question mark pretty please with a cherry on top

Mud I am SO SORRY for how long it took me to do this I am literally so sorry the thing is i don't have a look for Virginia lmao

I've no clue how this man looks but now I just base mine off of Wolf's so yk it's obviously looking a lot like his

Some rough sketches

And this because I feel like he's the type to despise All I Want For Christmas(Is You) to the point of violence lmao

[misery-has-no-company-now]

Hola :3

Ya got any angsty Gov hc’s 👁️👁️ If so may we pls have some 🫴🫴🫴

**you don’t have to**

Hola! Do I ever not have angsty Gov hcs-

(Implied/referenced physical abuse, PA and VA are not nice in this, mild references to trauma and a strong dosage of insecurities)

He's ambidextrous because he was forced to be. He was originally left handed, but thanks to the way things were back when he came into existence, he wasn't allowed to use his left hand. Virginia would tie his left hand to the table or chair so that he wouldn't try to write with it. Gov learned quickly to stop that, though his handwriting was really shaky with his right. When Gov tried to eat with his left hand during one dinner, an already angry Penn took out his anger on him and broke his hand to get him to stop. Even now that the idea has eased out of existence, Gov is scared of doing anything with his left hand in front of Penn or Virginia.

Also, though his handwriting with his right used to be shakier earlier, that has changed and the trauma of being forced to not use his left means that his hand starts shaking terribly whenever he even holds a pen in that hand. He can type just fine with both hands on a computer though, since that he mostly learned himself with a bit of help from Mass, who wasn't really so damn stupid as to stop him from using his left hand. Now, the only hint that he's not naturally right-handed is that he struggles to write his 's', 'z' and 'e' s (since these are tough for because of the angle they're written in, or at least that's the case as far as I know)

He doesn't think he's worthy of anything unless he works. He thinks food is a treat given to those who work very hard so that they can continue to do the same and that sleep is a reward he is undeserving of because it is only for those who don't have as many responsibilities as he does [guess who told him these two things]. He thinks that he can only take a break if it is justified - which means when he has overworked himself to the point of falling sick. He never rests because it stresses him out more to try and relax than to just continue working, since he always feels like he has too much pending incomplete work to not stop doing it - he doesn't actually, those lazy people at the White House just keep pawning off their work to him and he doesn't even realise it. He goes days with only coffee and water since he feels that's all he should get since those are intended to help him work better anyway.

Also - his entire existence has been connected to a use, to a purpose for which he was created. As a result, he feels worthless and useless if he thinks he isn't fulfilling his purpose - which is to work for the people. He's also really scared all the time that if he doesn't reach the high expectations everyone else places on him all the time, he's going to get replaced and thrown away. He's really insecure about this so he keeps on trying to prove himself by striving to do better and better, and falling into a pit whenever he thinks he failed (which is a lot).

He has trauma from all the wars he's been in but doesn't realise it. Nor does anyone help him either. Neither does he ask for it, because he was never taught that it was okay to ask for help. Rather, he was told the very opposite. He gets scared and flinches at sudden loud sounds, and wakes up from nightmares in a cold sweat, but thinks those are completely normal stuff.

When you're born in a fire, you think the whole world is warm. But when you're born alone, you find the fire cold. (I make little to no sense here just ignore this) Gov was born in the middle of a war, and he was left alone to his own devices for most of the time; so fighting is all he knows how to do properly, and loneliness is his closest companion. He doesn't have any friends either; with everyone either seeing him as the people of the government who keep making terrible decisions (and so blaming him for it) or just as someone to use for their own benefits (something which has worsened his trust issues a lot too). But he doesn't think he needs any either, since that's not required for his work, and he's been taught by a less than good at being a parent Penn and Virginia that he shouldn't do anything other than carry out the role he was intended for.

He's also not used to getting anything without working for it. Florida got him a gift once and had meant it as a joke but Gov got so emotional over it and kept asking Flo why he'd gotten him something since he couldn't remember what he'd done to deserve it that Florida started feeling guilty (a rare moment) and just took him to Loui's home for some good food since that's the only way he knew how to comfort him. [He gave Gov a break for exactly 2.4 days]

Speaking of emotions, Gov doesn't know anything about then. He was never allowed to feel, or express his feelings either, and so he never learned anything but anger (directed at him from others) and fear (of others). All the emotions he has learned about over time, he hides behind a mask and a trained diplomatic voice. No one, not even the people who should be able to, can tell when something is wrong with Gov - especially since they all think that he's just always stressed, and any time he shows some other emotion is just a variant of this stress. (NY, NJ, Mass, and Utah eventually realise something is wrong, but that's a long and far way ahead in the future.)

Speaking of stress, that's all Gov knows truly. Stress, coffee, work, and headaches - the four constants of Gov's life, with the added touch of being yelled at by someone for something he isn't to blame for ever so occasionally enough to be daily. That and pain. It's all he's familiar with.

---

I've got many more, but I think this is enough for now so I'll stop here. Let me know if you'd like more though, I'm always willing to answer even if I don't do so until quite a while after you send the ask (but I love receiving them so feel free to send more asks). Btw I think this is the first time in a long while that you've asked me for headcannons without there being an ongoing conversation about these blorbos of us already, so that's there😂 /j. Sorry for the rather long wait to get this answer, but I hope you like it!

[forever-eternal]

hi!! I was wondering if there was any random headcannons you had about either states or Adam and Robin

I have a few off the top of my head :D

__________________________________

-- Adam and Robin are both Very Asexual, and only attracted to each other. Trying to be a Homewrecker with these two will end horribly.

-- Greg is an undead. As a human child, he met Adam and Robin a few times. When he died in a horrific accident as a young preteen, they brought him back and adopted him.

-- Greg is mute!

-- Boe (WV) has a pet rosy maple moth named Rosie

-- Boe is Best Friends with all the WV cryptids.

-- Boe is dating John Deere! Boe is the Jack Hoffmen of States and I will die on this hill.

-- Ivan and Gabriel (Alaska and Texas) are really nice guys, and kinda shy, but they have epic mean faces and can make themselves appear very intimidating.

-- John (Georgia), despite being Gabriel’s height, is too nice and Teddy Bear to intimidate people unless he’s angry. Then people remember that a Teddy Bear is still a bear.

-- Ivan and Gabriel learned to be scary from Adam. Man is Dad To The Max, but he is still the Personification of the United States, and he can be terrifying when he wants to be.

-- Adam and Robin make all their kids stuffed animals, with the animals name sewn on one of the limbs

-- Ian (Florida) and Robin have a running tally of who had football-tackled more police officers. It’s currently a tie.

-- Adam has met Santa Claus.

-- Countries being on good terms does not mean the Personifications are! Several Government and Assistant Personifications are not allowed to be in the same room as Adam or Robin, it’s attack on sight.

-- Adam and Robin can replace people they erase! I implied it in ‘Must Be Mistaken’

-- Robin eats people. It’s not cannibalism, since she’s not human, but she does eat people. Adam too, but only sometimes.

-- The basement of the Jones Residence, where only Adam and Robin are allowed to enter, is full of trophies from people and personifications they’ve killed. The walls look like the French catacombs with all the skulls.

-- Adam and Robin also engage in human experimentation from time to time! Remember the chimeras from Full Metal Alchemist? That type of stuff. They only do it to bad people, and they also just don’t care. The only humans Adam and Robin care about are their family members.

-- If Adam and Robin ever die, they can never be reformed. Getting the exact same fragment from Eternity or Infinity is impossible. Other personifications can reform as the same people, Governments can not.

-- Robin represents in small parts of the Government; the interns, cubicle workers, receptionists, all the little pieces that make everything run. Adam is the big pieces; the President, the Senate, the HoR.

-- Adam’s immune system is trash and it has always been trash 👍 that will never change.

-- The OG’s had to teach Adam and Robin how to act human, blinking, chewing, breathing and all.

-- No one knows that Adam and Robin are fragments. Only other Fragments know. All the Politicians know is that they’re terrifying and Will Eat Them.

-- Adam and Robin are petty as hell and have a ‘Petty Schedule’ to determine who messes with which politician this time. This is reserved for the people who annoy them, but they aren’t annoyed enough to hurt them.

-- Adam has been torn in half by a cannonball before. He has also been shot, stabbed, blown up, burned, and I’m sure there are other things he has yet to talk about. Only Robin knows about most of these.

-- Adam and Robin can regrow limbs! If they break a bone, and manage to get away for a few hours, they’ll just cut it off and let it grow back good as new.

-- Adam and Robin can either have no organs or too many of one specific organ. Or whatever they think is funnier at the time.

-- In Verse, ‘The Thing’ is based on a witness that saw Robin eat someone. She looked freaky as hell and had the time of her life.

-- Adam and Robin have multiple forms, which I have talked about already in a previous post.

-- Adam and Robin are so in love it gives me a toothache

WTTT State Hobbies

Per my last post, I've thought about some of the other states and things they'd like to do.

Florida: Drawing

Florida likes to draw a LOT. He draws animals, nature scenes, and some cartoony type drawings. He's learning a lot through Skillshare and YouTube tutorials.

The others love to encourage him, so they hang up or frame his best drawings. The states that encourage him the most have their own drawings dedicated to them ((i.e: Them in cartoon form or their favorite animal)).

California: Photography

California has a whole Instagram dedicated to nature photography, or just anything he deems worthy of documenting. He edits all his own pictures & has one of those fancy, expensive cameras.

The other states follow him on there. Florida being his first follower, as he gets art inspiration from Cali's nature photos.

Louisiana: Mixology

Louisiana loves a good Daiquiri, so... He usually makes his own concoctions from time to time. He likes to make martinis and other cocktails as well, creating new drinks for the states to try based on his many ideas.

For his friends, Loui has his own drinks dedicated to them ((i.e: Florida: Hurricane Ride)). The other states love when he's hosting parties & drink all his unique cocktails.

Massachusetts: Going for Drives//Hiking

Massachusetts does this more so for his own mental health. He goes anywhere completely random and just journeys off. If it's anywhere near a hill or mountain, he'll detour and go for a hike.

Mass typically goes alone for these, so he can blare his music and ignore the world. But sometimes he'll bring either Pennsylvania, Virginia, New York, or Florida with him. They usually provide good company.

New York: Graffiti Art

Unlike Florida, New York hides this hobby. Unless he's really comfy with disclosing this information with someone. New York will put on some music and look around town for an empty canvas. Once he finds one, he immediately goes HAM on it. He posts the result photos on Instagram under an anonymous name.

The other states follow him on there as well. They don't know it's New York, with the exception of California, as he caught NY doing it once while out on a walk.

Texas: Making Clothes

Shocking, we know. However, Texas reached this hobby because one day, he looked down at the red polo and pants he was wearing. He said: "This ain't from American soils... I should make my own" and he got to work on learning how. Growing the materials, pressing them, and sewing//patching them up. The first thing he made was the new Texas flag shirt.

Other states would come to Texas for any needed clothing repairs ((Popped buttons, emergency sewing, etc)), and he would willingly do so. But Texas usually makes//fixes his own.

Colorado: Any Snow Sport

Snowboarding, Skiing, the Luge... Whatever snow sport it is, Colorado loves it all. He particularly enjoys skiing, since it allows him somewhat more range of movement. And he likes learning new moves to impress the others.

If you're asking... In my idea, Colorado goes to tournaments while high. It helps relieve any anxiety he may have beforehand.

[ask-wttsh-virginia]

Do you have a good relationship with your parents?

no, not really I mean for diplomatic reasons I have to be nice to him but no, my dad fucking sucks

[mur-art]

So Massachusetts tends to be protective of Virginia. Virginia was someone who at least *tried* to talk to him, even if he teased Massachusetts for taking the risks he did during the revolution.

The day Virginia catches on to how protective Massachusetts is is a rough day for Virginia, and Mass is trying to double check that he's alright.

Aww :) this is super cute ❤️

Hope you don't mind I wrote a fic inspired by this. (That turned out way longer than I planned lol)

I have no idea where I was going with this (probably not at all what you had in mind) but I hope you get something out of it anyway.

TL;DR Mass is a reckless shithead in battle, putting himself in danger and taking bullets like it ain't no thing, but the second Ginny gets hurt he changes his tune...

Content warning for battlefield injuries, questionable historical accuracy, and inconsistent characterization:

To Virginia, Massachusetts was many things: Smarter than he had any right to be, annoyingly outspoken about big ideas and yet painfully reserved when it came to sharing his deepest thoughts and fears. Filled with a deep, pent-up anger for the injustices of the world, yet bursting with an almost-naive hope that things could get better. 

But above all, Massachusetts never missed a moment to be a completely reckless son-of-a-bitch. This was one of those moments. They were in the heat of yet another battle that wasn't going their way, losing ground quickly and actively being shot at, and the insufferable bastard still felt the urge to be a hero. 

“Stay back!” Massachusetts cautioned Virginia. “I don't want you to get hurt.” 

Virginia scowled, annoyed at the presumption that he couldn't hold his own in a battle. Yet, once he realized what Massachusetts was doing, he knew he needed to try to stop him for his own good. 

Mass ran straight into the hail of gunfire, taunting the British soldiers, hurling insults about the questionable virtue of their mothers, their sisters, and even their dogs. He let loose a long string of curses that would've caused his Puritan forebears to rethink their decision to journey to America. 

A bullet grazed his shoulder, but he barely winced. He just kept going, shouting and shooting at the soldiers, whose young faces wore a mix of confusion and fear. Virginia could see that they were hesitant to shoot again, but the officers in the back barked orders to keep on shooting. So the bullets kept flying. 

Virginia tried his best to keep up with Massachusetts. The scene was chaotic, the air heavy with smoke and the choking scent of gunpowder. His own musket felt heavy on his shoulder, and his feet ached with blisters. 

When Virginia caught a glimpse of Mass through the smoke, there was blood streaming down his face, from who-knows-where. Mass looked briefly back at Virginia and winked; his eyes glowing with pure maniacal rage. 

Virginia realized in horror that Mass wouldn't back down, even though it was clear this was a losing battle, not until he had to physically be dragged off the battlefield with his body in pieces. 

Virginia forgot what Mass had said, and lunged toward him, pleading for him to be rational, to back down just this once and live to fight another day, so that their cause could live another day. 

Virginia got close enough to reach Mass’s sleeve, grabbing onto it with a desperate cry. Right at that moment, he felt a sharp, blinding pain in his head.  

He instinctively reached up, and sucked in a deep breath when his fingers touched the sticky warmth of pooling blood. 

Massachusetts turned around to look at him, and his face went pale with terror. 

Suddenly Virginia was on the ground. Everything became a blur. He felt strong arms reaching down to pull him, heard a volley of musket fire, loud voices shouting…and then… nothing. 

When he woke up, everything was quiet except for the sound of a gentle running creek and someone breathing heavily next to him.

He felt… safe. 

Warm, familiar arms cradled his head. There was something applying pressure to his skull–a makeshift bandage made out of a shirt sleeve. Everything in his body ached, but his head hurt most of all. He realized that they were far from the battlefield now. Massachusetts must have transported him to some secluded area of the woods. 

“Thank God you're awake,” Massachusetts whispered. “They shot ya, right in the head. You were dead. You died in my arms–I–” 

His voice shook. “You dumb bastard. I told ya to stay back. You should've stayed back.” 

“You were being so reckless; you were gonna go get us all killed!” Virginia protested, still breathless from his injury.

“I had it under control,” Mass muttered. He tore off another strip of his shirt with his teeth and fashioned it into a bandage. He gently applied it to Virginia’s wound. Through his one functional heavily-lidded and swollen eye, Virginia saw that Mass was crying. 

He had never seen Massachusetts cry before.

Mass sniffed, wiping his face with what was left of his sleeve.  

“I think your skull’ll grow back,” he said, as matter-of-factly as he could. “Might leave a scar, though.” 

He kept running shaking fingers through Virginia’s hair– on the good side, where he still had hair, where he still had a head. 

“Of all the dumb colonies–” Massachusetts muttered. “I can't lose you. Not like this. I’d never forgive myself for it–”  

“I’m not goin’ anywhere.” Virginia smiled as best he could with half his head gone. He'd survived starvation, disease, and even a  hanging or two. But Mass didn't need to know all that. All that mattered was now, and their existential battle for existence as free colonies. 

“I'm in it ‘til the end. No matter what.”

“No, you're gonna go home where you can't get hurt anymore.” Mass said in a breathless, pleading tone. “Please, Gin. I can't see you like this, knowing it's my fault. I can take the blows! I signed up for this, but you–” 

“So did I! My name's on that Declaration of Independence, same as yours. We're all in this together!” Virginia insisted. “Don't go blaming yourself for this…” He gestured to his head.

Massachusetts frowned. “Please, just promise me you'll rest for a little while. Let yourself heal.” 

“That I can do,” Virginia said, holding out his hand weakly. “But I'll be back. Mark my words; this country needs me to make sure your recklessness doesn't doom us all.” 

“It takes one to know one,” Mass said, playfully shaking his hand.

–

After most of the bleeding had stopped, Mass took Virginia to a little seaside shack far away from the fighting. 

Mass had a duty to his soldiers, but he made sure to come back at the end of each day to check on Virginia. In wartime, the power that kept personifications alive weakened, so he healed much slower than normal. He slipped in and out of consciousness, but the one constant was Massachusetts’s comforting presence. He came to tend the fire and bring fresh bandages, soup, and occasional hard spirits. 

With enough water from the land’s healing springs and herbal poultices (and a little bit of magic), the injuries faded and Virginia began to heal. In time, the only reminder left was a scar. 

Later, much later, when the Revolution was a distant memory, and another war loomed,Virginia would rub his fingers over the scar and remember a time when things between them were better.

the states as weird things my directors have said

alabama: you have so much school spirit i almost forgot you don't know how football works

alaska: why can't you all shut the hell up every once in a while

I love how we all agree that West Virginia has little brother energy and that South Carolina has big brother energy but does anyone else think that South Dakota has “We’re twins, it doesn’t matter” energy and North Dakota has “ME!” energy if they are ever asked who is the older twin?

Random states and their day jobs

I know the states having “day jobs” is tenuous canon at best and most likely being a state pays something (taxes from their people?) or if they had day jobs it would probably be civil servants (although isn’t being a personification of a state, already civil servitude to the nth degree?) but I digress 

Alabama- high school football coach/health teacher combo with history class coverage when needed

California - human resources assistant at a Silicon Valley company 

Colorado- rock climbing instructor 

Florida - Cashapp scammer 

Maryland- real estate agent 

Massachusetts- adjunct professor at MIT Sloan School of Management 

Mississippi - cotton and chicken farmer 

Nevada- Las Vegas croupier 

Texas- cattle rancher 

Utah- DILF 

Washington- Starbucks manager 

Virginia-  Conservationist at a history museum

I know when Florida talks about robbing the Federal Reserve he means the Eccles building but it’s 100x funnier if you imagine he’s talking about robbing the Federal Reserve as in the personification for the Federal Reserve. Florida is just out in these streets stealing Federal Reserve’s Teslas and  Arhaus dining chairs

strongly held Alaska headcanon

Alaska’s three dogs that we have heard be mention in canon, are Alaskan Malamutes. They’re the state dog of Alaska and have many uses in mushing, carrying objects, and hauling freight. When they reach adulthood they are big and powerful dogs. 

Yet, Alaska’s dogs are puppies. Fido, Balto, and Togo are permanently stuck in the puppy phase due to personification reasons. You have 7 foot tall bearded and built like brickhouse Alaska walking around the wilderness and then followed by him are what can only be described as living marshmallows.

My #1 post of 2022

where i think the states fight congregate/have meetings while living in the statehouse

the south: the back porch with sweet tea in front of them and in rocking chairs. the tv is out of sight and on mute so they can fight without the fuel of a college football match

the midwest: in the kitchen so they can be close to the talking ranch unaware of the fact that as they fight each other for the ranch, there is more ranch in the fridge until Wisconsin decides to grab another beer and sees two other bottles there. this commences an even bigger argument

the northeast: the sidewalk in front of the house with all of their car doors still open because they all want the same parking spot. everyone has a cigarette in their hand and their beanies/baseball caps are on the ground

the west: in a circle in the living room so they can look at each other and be able to properly vote in a fair commun(ist)al way. Colorado thought it was a smoke circle and tried to explain puff puff pass and Utah thought it was family game night and brought battleship, catan, AND heads up.

alaska & hawai’i: eating pancakes at a brunch spot while having a light debate on pop culture and all phone numbers of the lower 48 temporarily blocked

district & puerto rico:  Gov purposely gave them the wrong directions so after driving to three abandoned kmarts they decided to hit up a mcdonalds drive thru

maryland & gov: Maryland is watching in the foyer as Gov signs over the rent check to make sure that Gov pays the correct amount

Vermont "This is what happens when you don't follow directions" and West Virginia "He didn't follow the fucking guidelines" what else do I have to say

[forever-eternal]

Hi!! Soo I’ve seen a whole lot on New Jersey headcannons and a lot of them were about him having Tourettes Syndrom and I was wondering if you had similar headcannons or not

If you don’t then I would want to hear any other disabilityes any other states could have

Hello Lovely Anon!

Currently, I don’t have many disability headcanons— as most of them have not yet possessed me to inform me of their physical forms.

However, I do have a few!!

For Jersey and Tourettes, I haven’t decided yet. If I do decide he has Tourettes, I want to be able to write them well. So, for now, that is a no.

The most well-known in my AU is probably Adam— with his shitty back and horrid immune system.

I am absolutely sure Veteran’s Affairs, known as Matthew, is half blind and deaf— in his left ear and eye.

Ivan, my Alaska, has TERRIBLE direction skills due to how many people go missing in his State. Idk if that counts as a disability, but he does need Guide Dogs or for someone to hold onto him. It affects him daily.

Boe, my WV, has a prosthetic left leg. He lost it in a mining accident back in the 60’s.

Connecticut— known as Henry— is blind in his right eye. He got the injury during his pirate days.

These are the ones I’m currently aware of, but I’m sure there will be more as I design each State! :D

[kyistell]

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.

Hogwarts Houses

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.
