Quick question what fish or other aquatic animal would the state mermaids be

Just any of them would be great

sorry for the late reply

Alaska would be an orca

Florida a shark

Texas would say shark but be a Dolphin

California would be a bee

Louie would be a speckled trout

New York would be a Golden Shiner

Mass would be an Atlantic Blue Marlin

Maryland would be a crab

Nebraska is a rainbow Trout

Washington is a Sock Eye

I could keep going

Arizona ☝️‼️ I dunno the design appeared in my head so I can’t really explain much of it other than me realizing I never really gave any designs dyed hair (other than Nj I think) so I figured Ari would cuz he wears that brightly colored hat and I’m sure the ring design is obvious that its based on the flag, also it’s copper cuz of the state nickname, iuuhhh I wasn’t sure what eye color to give him so it may change. Also the glove was cuz I figured why not since he pulled up with an oven mitt to not burn his hands off

Do you think they’d make a sizzle noise if these two touched?? I think so.

Btw I like to imagine Ari has pet ants. Because there are over 300 native species of ants found in Arizona and I think that’s really cool. Thoughts on this y’all???

Also should I continue to draw Alaska with the long hair that I made two posts ago?? It was real fun and I enjoyed how structured it was and it still felt like him to me and I like to make sure to keep Alaska’s native culture with him so I’d also like to hear y’all out on that one

It's May so that means it's time to pull out my assigned aquatic creature for every US state and unabandon that merman project

Lately I’ve been inspired by @dailymothanon ‘s works, especially with Alaska. I finally had time to do some art so here’s a Rhode Island idea. I’m loving the way his silhouette came out. We also have a stoic Alaska who is probably admiring his dogs. Don’t worry he’s absolutely loving them, his face is just like that.

The page isn’t finished, what I plan on doing with is is doing a little series of works called

Alaskan Mis-Adventures

Hope to have the rest of the page out soon!!!

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.😭

Weak 1 wttt/wttsh headcanon post, this one’s about Louisiana by a local.

Louisiana and Maine got in a small scrap when they first met because of lobsters. At first Louisiana said it was a large Crawfish(if he actually thought it was one or he was just messing around is up to you) and then it devolved into the time old argument of how to say Crawfish. I’m telling you, somebody who is born and raised in the state of Louisiana, that Carw-Fish, not Crayfish, but crawdad is accepted. Anyways, there are other things that they have gotten into arguments about due to the difference of the French.

Louisiana points to a raccoon: Oooo, un chaoui! (a raccoon, Louisiana French)

Maine, absolutely confused, so he switches to English: What did you just say? Why are you pointing to that raccoon?

For those who do not know Louisiana French has basically compiled West African Spanish, and indigenous American languages, and just kind of threw them together very violently.

-

He’s Louisiana Creole (this also includes Cajuns if you didn’t know, there used to not be a real big distinction between the two, it’s a complicated thing).

A small historical thing for you

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louisiana_Creole_people

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creoles_of_color

The term Créole was originally used by the Louisiana French to distinguish people born in Louisiana from those born elsewhere, thus drawing a distinction between Old-World Europeans and Africans from their Creole descendants born in the New World. The word is not a racial label and does not imply mixed racial origins—people of any race can and have identified as Louisiana Creoles.

This is one of the older definitions of the creole identity. It has been shunned and forcibly erased because of racism specifically from White Creoles and the americanization of Louisiana from Anglo-American ideals. Racism is a very big problem and I wish that I could shake people and maybe even kill a few. We must acknowledge the discrimination and segregation of people of colour(of all backgrounds) in Louisiana and throughout its history. Also let’s not forget the colonization of indigenous groups done by the US, France, Spain,and Creoles. We must not forget the disgusting and horrible actions we have done and must take actions to mend these deplorable and horrific things we have done! “ But blah blah nonsense that is just racism” shut the fuck up I will kill you, I can kill the alligator I can kill you. Anyways, this is also my small reminder that we should not focussed on just the Cajun identity and just stops teaching fucking Parisian French in our schools and that we should focus on our own stuff not whatever the fuck Paris is doing.

-

He is definitely a Creole of colour, he’s specifically a Gens de couleur libres (free persons of color) if you want to learn more about this look at the Creole of colour Wikipedia page,you can try to fight me on this I WILL WIN🙂! He was also a grands habitants (a Creole aristocrat, aka this boy got MONEY). I actually think he still has a lot of the money but chose to live more down to earth and rarely, if at all, uses it. Because to be honest, a good amount of us in Louisiana are poor. Anyways, thank God for Mississippi.

-

We know from canon that he uses CajVE(Cajun Vernacular English), no that’s not just a “Louisiana accent”. I mean he does have a Louisiana accent, but what most people think is a “Louisiana accent” is just CajVE. If you can see I am a bit annoyed by this whole thing (not at Ben he is giving us amazing representation). Most of the time you see this done badly(CRIMINAL MINDS😡) by having a character from NoLa using CajVE when NoLa has its own Vernacular English(sometimes called the Yat accent, to me it is closer to a NYC accent). Like are there people in NoLa that use CajVE, yes of course, but if you’re character’s hole family has lived in NoLa since the beginning of colonization why in hell are they using a different vernacular dialect of English. Sorry about that tangent but anyway we have multiple Vernacular English, mostly because of the Americanization of Louisiana. He also can probably speak all of the little variations of Louisiana French.

I think he has long hair, but not really long, probably around his shoulders. If you have been anywhere in the deep south it is hot and humid and even when I lived there I was impressed about people who have long and thick hair, bro like are you ok? Look, just give him Lafayette’s hair from Hamilton and yeah you should get it.

-

I am torn between if he is just a Catholic who practices Voodoo, or if he just practices Hoodoo.But honestly, that doesn’t really matter when it comes up to this next part. He still definitely has a name that follows Catholic tradition. For those who don’t know you are supposed to have at least one part of your name that is also a Saint’s name. I think he would be named after Hubert of Liege (said like A-Bert though, because French and like the patron st of hunting… and rabies), but there are like so many st so yeah. That would probably be his middle name. For his first I really like any name like Lou, Loui, Louis because well it fits and I actually know like 7 people named something along those lines. For his last name probably Landry, Fontenot, Guidry, Boudreaux. I kind of want to throw magnolia in there, maybe it’s Latin clasificacion. I know it says that he practises voodoo, this is a headcannon so yeet!

-

He’s either psychic, or he can talk to ghosts, maybe even both. I’m not religious by any means, but the whole state of Louisiana is haunted.  I lived in the suburbs and I lived relatively close(less than a mile) away from some families personal graveyard. Even in my little small town, you could find places that almost everybody could agree upon that “Yeah, somethings a little bit off there”. I’m not saying this in a bad way, not completely at least, it’s just what it is. Like I said, I’m not religious (not anymore) nor am I particularly a spiritual person(even though, yeah, I’m a pagan). When I tell you, I have seen shit that I cannot explain by science that I’ve heard shit from people that I cannot explain by science. I tell you the entire state of Louisiana, maybe not the north but at least the south is haunted as hell I’m not joking. It’s important to our culture to. A lot of people here(the majority of the state population) is Catholic and our saints and ghost stories are very important to us. You don’t have to believe in the supernatural. I don’t even know if I fully do, but I can admit to you when I have seen things that I cannot explain.  If you’re interesting about what I saw in with my experience have been super ask. 

-

I think he probably use and practises with tarot cards. It might shock you that even still a lot of people in Louisiana both people who are solely Catholic and people who practice voodoo use tarot. I associate tarot with my home. I was taught by my grandmother when I was younger, remember her teaching me all the cards in their meaning . Some of my dearest memories of New Orleans is walking around the French quarter in front of  The St. Louis Cathedral (even more reasons I wish to call this man Louis) and gazing into the crystal balls, tarot cards, and crystals booths lined up in front of the cathedral. Maybe it’s because of my very strong connection to it but I cannot imagine Louisiana not doing it at least once in his life. It always shocked a lot of people especially ones who are not Catholic when I tell them that Louisiana has a strong history with Tarot.

Turn on my ideas for Cryptid Louisiana, it’s more specifically local stuff comparative to giant bird alligator monster.

Rougarou- I grew up on stories of this, I remember my Ma (my great grandmother, who was born in I think 1920 and spotted French and had scars from when her teacher would hit her for speaking French instead of English) tell me stories of naughty little Catholics getting eaten alive. Rougarou it’s like a weird dog, werewolf, I’ve heard alligator thrown in there sometime creature that comes and get you if you’re bad. It’s never really specified how one becomes a Rougarou or how they transform(or even if they do at all) but unlike werewolves, they are not limited to being transformed under the full moon. Hell they’re not even limited to it being night.  it’s probably one of the most well-known folklores out of Louisiana, stinking rolling and even supernatural have mentioned, and had episodes about it. Sold 6/10, probably only that high because of nostalgia.

1 New Site thing 

2 Wikipedia 

Vampire- I don’t remember who made the art of it I know someone has, yeah vampires. Shockingly we have them if you watch the origins, you probably know that. This also links back to a good story about one of our favourite vampires! 8/10

 Ghost- nothing one specific just a GHOST ! 4/10

Honey island swamp monster- I’m gonna be very blunt here. I don’t like this one and the next one I’m gonna talk about is in my opinion is better than this, but I digress. I don’t like Bigfoot but sometimes he’s also like part alligator. Eh 4/10 next one’s better

Letiche!- Boys I finally get to talk about it, this is the original OG honey island swamp monster. A combination of Cajun-Creole and Native American folklore this shit fit him this shit is my favourite creature that we have. Sometimes it’s described as the soul of an illegitimate unbaptized infant, or a human child raised by alligators. This monster haunts the swamps of Louisiana and capsizes boat(or just messing with them) or attacking people. 10/10

“There are two different origin stories for this monster. The first, more commonly accepted theory is that Letiche are the souls of unbaptized children who have passed away, cursed to linger in the unforgiving swamps and bring havoc to the area. The second story has roots in Native American mythology. The legend goes that a child was taken by swamp alligators and raised as one of their own. Over time, the Letiche developed the qualities of an alligator. So while he may still maintain some features of a man, such as walking upright and having human hands and feet, his life in the swamps among the alligators has caused him to develop many reptillian characteristics. This includes a green hued hide, not unlike that of an alligator, and of course, a set of sharp, lethal teeth”

Who would be able to kill a pet fish the fastest and how?

This is for wttt btw

see normally i'd go straight for florida

however i think he'd be quite good with pets!

then i'd go for nevada? solely cause he's always busy and forgets to feed the fish? but i also feel that he's super responsible..

probably oklahoma

he got a beta fish and didn't realize they jump, so when he got home

fish was dead on the counter

[firsttraintovictoriaville]

I love that Sconnie didn’t reject raising the gator when Florida brought it up. Congrats on gator parenthood, I guess

Fairbanks and Anchorage dragged Portland outta his work because lord knows when he saw daylight last. What a sad sulky man, he will be fed a sandwich and given a juice box (orange juice because he is not getting enough vitamin d. We all know it.) Fairbanks once hit him square in the face with a bug zapper because they were trying to get a mosquito. Sorry, it will happen again Also my hand has been cramping pretty badly so ☝️ I may need to take a break from drawing idk

I want mermaid anon to know my google search suggestions are all for fish and game stories >:(

The dedication I have to WTTT should not be ignored

[milokissa707]

Wttt/Wttsh weak 1, time for Cryptid Rhode Island. Also, also known as I know, way too much about the Cthulhu extended universe 

For Cryptid Rhode Island, obviously we’re going to do something along the lines of HP Lovecraft(as much as I have a love-hate relationship with this man, you racist antisemite ablest asshole, his unimaginable idiocy really did help him make horrors beyond comprehension because he didn’t have comprehension of anything again he’s an idiot! Come on man, we live on a circle everything is non-Euclidean!). Anyways, besides my point about my hatred and love for this man, I know a lot of us think of Rhode Island Cryptid as Cthulhu or at least like him, but I think it would be cooler if he looks like the deep one. The best way I can describe it is fish, lizard, monster thing. So if we combine Cthulhu and the deep one together, I think we would get a nice little horrendous Cryptid man. Aka I want Rhode Island to be a fish, lizard, bipedal, tentacle man. It also would be kind of funny if he was just like an octopus and it’s something like Cthulhu’s daughter, and which, like he’s mistaken from some kind of rare octopus I just got put in an enclosure. TBH I want to put all these men and literally enclosures and watch them. Anyways, maybe some inspirational stuff from Father Dagan. To be honest, most of HP Lovecraft’s monsters fit well into Cryptid Rhode Island. Honestly, picking only one of his monsters to take inspiration from would only be doing Rhode Island a disservice because meds are a hideous ocean being and I love him for that. Like I could also see the man looking like gloon, mostly because of the homoeroticism. Also, when I say Lovecraft, I’m not just talking about Lovecraft works. I’m also talking about the extended universe created by writers.

I also think a good chunk of lovecraft works would also fit England, I mean, it makes sense the guy was a New Englander. But I’m really hesitant to say that would be my idea for England as there’s a girl, a bunch of cool folklore from that country.

Tomorrow, my dears were talking about peaches and some other stuff. Since it’s Friday, I’m gonna give you double post.
