willie stole this sign 

[theladyfae]

british bobby was banned from watching power rangers as a kid by a babysitter/family friend cause he got "too excitable" read: tried and failed to fight carrie every time

britgate? aussiegate? and now canadagate? i do not understand and i cannot relate, but i also kind of love it and want to participate, so hear me out: midwestgate?

(this got longer than i was expecting, so i put it under a read more)

(feel free to add your own)

@penguin-writes-books helped me out a little with this and she insists that they should be from evanston, il because 'vibes' so ok sure why not. what's a 14 hour drive to get some runza?

[id: photo of a green pop mmachin at Runza that says "the debate: pop or soda please note: you are in the midwest and the correct answer is pop. #PopNotSoda"]

the band has definitely almost broken up over pop vs soda. more than once

rose's (now julie's) garden has taken over the molina's backyard. they have so many extra vegetables, they couldn't pay people to take them all away. reggie gets really into helping them can, and especially loves when tia victoria teaches him her salsa recipe (also peeling tomatoes to can them is a fun sensory experience)

the whole squad is now spoiled and refuses to eat tomatoes that aren't home grown

reggie 100% lives on a ranch and thinks that makes him a cowboy (he tries teaching the others how to ride a horse. some of them handle it better than others)

it's like at least half an hour out of the city, and reggie's had a school permit since he was 14 (he's technically been driving since he was 10, but don't tell anyone) (luke is bitter because reggie's a better driver than him)

bobby "i could never hurt an animal" wilson will only eat meat from reggie's family's ranch because he knows the animals there are treated well

anytime they drive anywhere, reggie has to point out every single horse he sees. there are a lot of them

reggie has a fascination with car henge and insists they stop anytime they happen to be in the vicinity (which is like an 8 hour radius)

they go tanking (idk if this is a thing outside of ne actually but whatever) and alex hates it so much but he refuses to let them go without him

similarly, reggie has a "pool" at his ranch that's actually just a livestock tank

luke is That Bitch who drowns everything in ranch. literally everything. and he does not care what ranch. usually it's whatever they've stolen recently from various restaurants or it's like off-off-brand. he considers hidden valley 'fancy'

oh and this shit?

[id: Heinz ad featuring mayomust, kranch, and mayocue sauces.]

luke loves it. he thinks it's the best thing ever invented. alex is personally offended by it because mixing sauces is an art

also their high school is literally in the middle of a cornfield. that's just how it be sometimes

and the henry doorly zoo! look, i know there are other zoos, and if they're in illinois there are almost certainly closer ones, but the omaha zoo is iconic, ok? (my drawing of texas is 100% based off a stuffed penguin i got there) the 14 hour drive is worth it

reggie runs to try to see everything in the one day (literally impossible but go off)

luke's phone background is a picture of julie in the butterfly pavillion surrounded by butterflies (alex calls him a simp, but his is willie staring at the jellyfish)

luke gets spooked when a bat flies over his head in the jungle, and bobby laughs and then immediately gets startled by another one

they lose alex in the aquarium because he simply cannot stop staring at the fish as they swim over him in the tunnel

willie buys him a stuffed shark and he almost starts crying right there (he pays him back at the adler when they go to chicago) (reggie, willie, and flynn are obsessed with the adler but also hate that it's in chicago because light pollution)

willie and flynn shit talk the bean ("cloudgate? he's so pretentious. it's a fucking bean") so much

(i still say chicago doesn't count as midwest but whatever)

Just wanna say I am Thriving w ur britgate content and also wildly happy that it has sparked an ausgate too I love the idea of these dumb boys in the land I know

I do feel for the Americans but I love that you’re over here having the time of your life!

And I am vibing in my ausgate corner w fellow aussies ❤️

bestie!! i love that for you!!

i’m thriving rn because i’ve never been able to project quite as astronomically as i have these last few days so the americans can deal with it a little bit (seriously though, i never understand half of the references in canon so we can self indulge with this, surely?)

i’m glad you can have your lil corner of the internet too!! i only really understand half of the aussiegate posts but i’m supporting you!! you go!!

i do sort of pity the americans but also... it’s just so funny so deal with it <3 /lh
