*We did change this so we could have time to talk to and plan these injuries.
here’s a masterlist of popular names from each state in the united states. names will be separated by state and by gender, and there will be 5 of the most popular names from each state. i put all of the names on one line to avoid having this end up being too long, and i also included district of columbia. thus, there’s a total of 510 names. if you found this at all helpful, please reblog / like.
I have to admit I needed a few minutes to assemble ten fandoms, and a few minutes more for each one to think of ten characters for a couple of them! Fortunately, having an RP blog means I already interact with a few...

you are being gifted my son, Henry Peter Alexander Wiley IV
he was born on March 13, 1843, to a prominent lawyer and his wife
the Wileys are RICH - they have a New York City house where they usually stayed called Wiley Manor, as well as homes in London, Virginia, and a small "cabin" (mansion) in southern France
before meeting the other character in my story, Jamie, he goes by Four (because he's the fourth of his name) or Harry
Four has 3 older sisters and is the first son and heir to his father's sizable fortune
he meets Jamie (Edward James Gray) when they're both 7 and they immediately become friends
Jamie gives him the nickname of Hal!! and theyre best friends!! and oh my god i love them so fucking much!!
(J wasnt born rich, his father struck gold in the Gold Rush and only now are the Grays being introduced to high society)
at 11, Hal begins attending a boarding school in Massachusetts, but he only lasts about a year before having a nervous breakdown. he's autistic and has social anxiety (wow ant whered you get that from huh) and was bullied a bunch and it got to be too much for our poor boy
for the next few years he has several private tutors and does a Lot of reading (boy loves to read)
his father pressures him to Go to School and Be Normal and Stop Letting Down the Family which only makes Hal's anxiety worse fuck his dad >:(
at 16 he realizes OH SHIT IM IN LOVE WITH JAMIE
it takes him a few months to tell him but once he does they start courting and it's v cute <3 <3 <3
then of course Hal's dad decides to send him to a school in South Carolina where his cousin Josiah goes and this time Hal can't come up with good enough arguments and has to go
he's at boarding school until age 18, and while there he and Jamie write a bunch of really romantic sappy letters
Hal's home for christmas break in 1861 when the Civil War breaks out, but it doesn't really impact him all too much, except that his father decides it's too risky for him to go back to school because SC is now part of the confederacy
while at school Hal started getting symptoms of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and now it's getting worse, so he spends a lot of the next couple months in bed recovering
by fall he's feeling better and he and Jamie can go be their gay selves
BUT THEN in October Hal is engaged (without his permission to the daughter of his father's friend, Miss Hattie Parker
Hal doesnt tell Jamie immediately but J finds out about it anyways and gets angry bc his boyfriend didnt. tell him abt being engaged
around that same time J's father discovers a letter between him and Hal (it has J's name on it but not Hal's, so Mr Asshole doesnt know it's him) and threatens to kill and/or disinherit him
for some unknown reason J decides that the only way to prevent this is to enlist in the war so he goes in down that
fuck this is getting long im gonna finish the rest in @mattwife-mattnipulate-mattsplain's ask

2024 Trevor Hudgins Award Top 15 Watch List Released
Kansas City, MO – The National Awards Committee and Small College Basketball are proud to announce the Trevor Hudgins Award Top 15 Watch List for the 2023-24 season. After the announcement of the creation of the award in November, 2023-24 marks the inaugural season for the award. The award will be presented annually to the senior who has had the finest overall career within Small
College Basketball. John McCarthy had this to say about the Top 15 Watch List:
"Congratulations to all 15 players on the Trevor Hudgins Award Watch List,” mentioned McCarthy. “This is, obviously, an elite group of players that have had tremendous collegiate careers, entirely at
the small college level. Thank you to our National Awards Committee for their insight on many players from throughout the country."
Considerations for the Trevor Hudgins Award are overall career statistics and achievements, team achievements, awards, and personal character. The player must have played his entire career at the small college level. This is the highest award given to a four-year (or five-year) player within Small College Basketball. The video of the finalists will be released on Friday April 5, and the award winner will be announced through a video presentation on Monday April 8, at halftime of the NCAA Division I National Championship Game.
The award is named in honor of Northwest Missouri State’s Trevor Hudgins, who had a historic career with the Bearcats. He led the Bearcats to three consecutive NCAA Division II National
Championships. During his career, Hudgins started in every game and never missed one. He also never lost an NCAA Tournament game, leading the Bearcats to a remarkable 17-0 record in the
NCAA Division II National Tournament. Hudgins was named the NCAA Division II Player of the Year in back-to-back seasons in 2021 and 2022. He holds both the NWMSU scoring and assists records and finished his career with 2,829 points, which ranks first all time in the 110 year history of the MIAA.
The Trevor Hudgins Award is sponsored by Northwest Missouri State University, Northwest Missouri State Alumni Association, the Scribner Family Foundation Fund, Windmill Benefits and the Kansas
State Credit Union.
The Small College Basketball National Awards Committee consists of the following coaches: Gary Stewart – Stevenson(Md.), Chris Briggs - Georgetown (Ky.), Bill Dreikosen - Rocky Mountain (Mont.),
Mark Berokoff –Oklahoma City, Mike Donnelly – Florida Southern, Sam Hargraves – Olivet (Mich.), Richard Westerlund – Northwestern (OH), Chase Tiechmann – Florida College, Aaron Siebenthall –
Ottawa (Kan.), Mark Vanderslice – USC – Aiken, Matt O’Brien – Southwestern (KS), Chris Wright – Langston (OK), Ben Thompson – Emory & Henry, Justin Leslie – Midwestern State, Raul Placeres –
