Delly baby... it's been awhile since I drew him so yeah!! Something about Delly's state symbols feel whimsical, much like NH's 😌 good for them truly! I saw that his state fruit were strawberries so... why not give him a good ol' snack of many berries
Meanwhile Mass and Maine has... several state symbols relating to cranberries for mass and blueberries for maine... so greedy like they've not eaten all day... Jersey put in a lot of work to grow those things just for them to eat all of the berries he gifted them immediately like some monsters 😠
CA: Still could use an eco-friendly cover. And maybe a little more sugar.
MA: Fuck off.

These 2 are THE nerdiest nerds to ever NERD they literally work on complex coding (and some serious hacking but don't tell gov) in the same room together and call it relationship goals 💖💞💕
Mass loves the naturally sparkling gold of Cal's eyes and Cal adores Mass' soothing bay blue ones
When they argue they like to refer to their respective mountains of degrees and doctorates and be like "WELL IM A CETRIFIED BLAH BLAH" "OH YEAH?? BITCH I HAVE AN ENTIRE DEGREE ON BLCHAHSBJDN" and they could literally go on for HOURS bc they both have such high egos surrounding education/tech
Cal def swears more whenever they're with Mass ("You motherfucking shithead!" "Aw ily2 bastard.)
He isn't telling a damn SOUL about this but Mass loves being hugged by Cal for long periods. Although they're an awkward bumbling string-bean of a state Mass can't lie and say Cal's hugs (their arms are long so they can fully wrap em around him and its soooo comforting) don't warm his very core like Californian valley sunrises and shifting desert sands—a loving and nurturing embrace of the grand redwood forests he's come to cherish.
moth brought to my attention these tags from @lunearobservatory on their post and i HAD to draw this bc i totally forgot about this piece of history
i did this for the sillies but moth views it as angst and honestly yeah it is angsty so yea aksldfha- like i could make a version of this where mass is like beating himself up over this bc its something he doesn't want to do but he has to. also we could feature some themes of maine being forced to grow up
Soooooo— Gov spawning into existence as a girl and not liking his body :<
Cue him binding his chest with bandages and cutting his hair in order to feel more masculine
And like- what if Mass (who transitioned before the Revolution) walks in on him and Gov thinks that he’s gonna get in trouble, but is pleasantly surprised when Mass actually helps him bind properly, gets Jersey to fix his hair properly, and gives him tips on how to feel more masculine :]
hi hi hi hi might I request some rhode x alaska? :))
