I drew this for the background of a commission I recently finished but I think you'll agree, it's too cute not to share!

Here's for all you fans of 1800s/Wild West TexaCali.

Texas in early wttt: *making fun of California with heart eyes on full display*

Me: *sighs and opens docs*

Why do they make me so insane

[kaz-playz]

TexaCali shippers come get y'all juice.

[lellowcb]

I dunno if anyone else said this or something but the song "Stay Stay Stay" by Taylor Swift makes me think of the TexaCali ship- Like for the most part I see this all in Cal's perspective.

Link btw if y'all wanna hear it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OhJ-S9Nrh7Q

Some specific parts of the song that makes me think of them (I mean the whole song does but- u know? XD):

'I'm pretty sure we almost broke up last night I threw my phone across the room at you I was expecting some dramatic turn away But you stayed This morning I said we should talk about it 'Cause I read you should never leave a fight unresolved That's when you came in wearing a football helmet And said, "Okay, let's talk"'

'You think that it's funny when I'm mad, mad, mad But I think that it's best if we both stay'

'And I'll be loving you for quite some time No one else is gonna love me when I get mad, mad, mad So I think that it's best if we both stay, stay, stay'

Please I gotta know. Yes it's for a wild west fic. Yes it's enemies to lovers

[fandomgeeknerd]

next duo is California and Texas! they have a ship name but whats their duo name cus i got nothing

this moodboard has cowboy aesthetic, artist aesthetic and gold aesthetic, southern goth, and i forgot the other two

[muraae]

it is a truth universally acknowledged that i will write entire stories in my head, but then never following through with actually writing them down.

like the urge to have a slow burn enemies to lovers texacali fic with the tropes of it was all a bet, tex fell first and harder, bucket lists of fun dates, forced proximity, there was only one bed, mutual pining, and most importantly, the hand touch ™?

i just have a lot of feelings for it and i cry thinking it’ll never happen.😭

I think I've been on tumblr for to long. Either that or I have completely forgotten what tiktok is like.

The wttt fandom here is super supportive, right? Like you can ship whatever you want, you can hc stuff. And there is no hate, just a hunger for content.

But on tiktok... I tried looking for any texacali edits (bc I like it, and I might try out some other ships) and literally it just "you shouldn't ship texacali you should ship texalahoma bc it's so much better!"

Like, people can ship whatever they want? Can't they?

[what-in-gaeas-realm]

I don't really draw much and when I do it's rarely people. That said, I cannot get @aceasadhd's Mawage is wot bwings us together today series out of my head, so I doodled a couple scenes.

[ryebread]

I need beta readers.... because I definitely think that would help my writing.

Its a Texacali royalty/knight au with a bunch of other ships sprinkled in.

If you are interested, DM me and we go from there!

I have no idea how this works

TexaCali HCs

Continuing @halcyonlauren‘s ask, here’s some TexaCali. 

Slight TW for some mentions of unhealthy/disordered eating behavior. 

“Texacali

pre-relationship: 3, 4

general: 3, 9

love: 8, 11

domestic life: 9, 10″

I will start by saying that I don’t really personally ship them (although I enjoy it when other do, and I appreciate their dynamic) but I’ll answer these the best I can.

Did any of their friends or family want them to get together?

Florida canonically (?) writes fanfiction about them, so he totally ships it if only for the chaos potential. I feel like many of the other states are also like, “JUST [CENSORED] KISS ALREADY AND SAVE US THE AGGREVATION!”

Who felt romantic feelings first?

Okay, so they’re both total hopeless romantics at heart, but Cali is slightly more in-touch with his feelings so he would definitely be the first to notice something. Texas would forever deny DENY DENY.

What was their first kiss like?

I feel like it would be cliché but super on-brand if it was accidental somehow. I have no idea how it would happen, but somehow they end up kissing and Texas likes it and can’t stop thinking about it but refuses to admit it. And Cali is a little shit and gloats about how flustered Texas gets when he thinks about it. He would keep bringing it up just to see how red Texas’ face gets.

Who whispers inappropriate things in the other’s ear?

Cali, because as previously noted, he is a little shit. He’s always trying to make Texas as flustered as possible. He knows exactly what to say to get a reaction out of him. It’s a bit of an ego trip for him to have that kind of power over him because IMO it’s literally impossible for Cali to do anything without bringing his ego into it. And vice versa.

Who’s better at comforting the other?

They both have their moments. In times of real, genuine trouble (like in that *one* Table News, you know the one) they instantly enter Supportive Partner Mode. Cali might go a little bit overboard with “therapist talk” sometimes, trying to psychoanalyze Texas’ every negative emotion and try to find a solution to every problem, when all Texas needs is a shoulder to cry on and someone to listen to him rant. Likewise, Texas doesn’t always know how to deal with Cali when he’s upset because he’s not the best at the whole “emotional expression” thing, and Cali sometimes has all of the emotions, all at the same time. But they try their best to understand each other.

What songs apply to their relationship?

Honestly I need to work on this a bit more; I definitely don’t have as many songs as I should, but here’s few that remind me of them for some reason:

“Origin of Love” by MIKA

“Hate That You Know Me” by Bleachers

“Say My Name” by David Guetta

Lots of old outlaw country-type songs, but especially “Born and Raised in Black and White” by the Highwaymen (there are two characters in this song: I’ll leave it up to interpretation which one is which.)

“My Girl Don’t Like My Cowboy Hat” by Hank Williams, Jr. (This is kind of a joke song but it just fits.)

Who’s more likely to convince the other to come back to sleep in the morning?

I HC Cali as an obnoxious morning person (like even despite the time zone differences he’s up earlier than everyone else and hyped up on several cups of coffee and terrifyingly intense about his morning routine). So Texas is always trying to convince him to come back and just chill out for a bit.

Who’s the better cook?

It depends on what they’re making! Texas knows what all of Cali’s “guilty pleasures” are and he loves baking sweet treats. He’s always the one doing the BBQ-ing and making super dense comfort foods. He also makes a lot of Tex-Mex type stuff. He tends to stick with the same kinds of foods that he’s familiar with and knows he’s good at making. He rarely branches out to different recipes. Cali, on the other hand, is the experimental chef. He will try literally anything and doesn’t always succeed. Sometimes Texas has to step in to keep him from burning down the kitchen while trying to blow torch a crème brulee or something. Cali is prone to fad diets (which can be super unhealthy) and so Texas has to deal with his constant experimenting with substitutions and workarounds for ingredients he “can’t” have. And then when Cali’s “experiments” end up tasting awful, he bakes cookies and they cuddle and watch movies on the couch.

Texas and California were different. Too different to say the least. Two opposite sides of the coin, personalities clashing to the moment where they unleashed the pent-up atom bomb of rage between them. Yet, they always seem to go to each other like moths to a flame, caught within a dance that neither one could escape. It wouldn't be a matter of who will crave into their desires first, but when.
