day 2 - [State] Joins The Table / State Symbols

Who's ear? Ramblings below the cut... Hoosier etymology!

also not a direct quote, but i KNOW he was offscreen muttering.

My mammaw told me Hoosier actually comes from a native american word , "hoosa", meaning corn!! Flatboatmen from indiana bringing corn or maize to new orleans, became known as "hoosa men", or, well, Hoosiers! I don't get the "whos ear?" thing.

WTTT Week: Day 2

Yes I'm aware how late this is, this really does not count anymore, but I like these prompts so cihihcchi

Montana's state butterfly is the Mourning Cloak, and the state flower us the Bitteroot. Such an odd theming for symbols but I am here for it

It was either this, or my Mortal Enemy: State fish symbols. 17/18 are trout. Why. That's too many trout. It's fucking with my mermaid AU

!!!!! That’s awesome!!

Good job, everyone!

before wttt week, we had 2355 fics in the wttt tag

now we have 2384

that's 29 fics. in one week. we're averaging over 4 fics a day- and that's not even factoring in the fact that many put all of their contributions into difference chapters of one fic!

good job team

[wttt-week]

last fic of the week is a headcanon very near and dear to my heart-- Every State Is Plural On Account Of Cities. Yay <3 its a very short fic so as supplement i am also posting some headcanons and encouraging you all to share ideas as well

BASICALLY as i think is supported by canon: cities are little subpersonifications in their respective state's heads, who sometimes chatter to their states or temporarily take over the body to share their point of view (austin)

+you should read the all my exes live in texas series btw. its basically all this and its really really good

theoretically any city can have a personification but how "loud" a city is depends on how distinctly that city defines itself from the state

this looks a little bit different for every state obviously but there are some major categories:

states where one major city is basically co-fronting with the state at all times (new york & nyc, illinois & chicago, you would think mass and boston too but nope! see below)

states that have a bunch of cities that all kind of blend in and out of front without being a noticeable change from the usual personality of the state (massachusetts, most new england states tbh, maybe florida ?)

states with a couple large cities whose vibes generally match with the vibes of the states enough that they either don't feel the need to take the driver's seat often or it just isn't noticeable when they do (most of the midwest (indiana and indianapolis, minnesota and st. paul/minneapolis, ohio and the Three C's), colorado i think)

states with cities whose vibes are different then their vibes but the cit(ies) are less of a Presence then chicago or nyc so they mostly just hang out and only occasionally steal the driver's seat (pennsylvania, tennessee (nashville), michigan (detroit), maybe north carolina. these are situations where like. people outside of the state think of the city (or cities) as Different from the state but don't just think of the city when they think of the state. thats a lot of words i hope it made sense)

Whatever California Has Going On (i don't understand california)

Whatever Texas Has Going On (states and cities having conflicting wants is pretty par for the course but everyone kind of finds it weird how much texas seems to actively be fighting with austin for control sometimes. i would love to expand on this more later perhaps. if i learn more about texas. i think a lot about that bit in dc statehood)

okay and finally my most important note is that i think. you should all come play in this space with me. because it's self-indulgent and good character fun and also because it can lead to a lot of really funny situations. such as: new york city and la have a weird gay lovehate relationship going on. this infuriates philly and boston because they both think they hate nyc the most. chicago also doesn't like nyc but in a more platonic competition way. this leads to situations like "pennsylvania interacting with california and he's trying to just be normal about it because he doesn't have beef with california but philly is screaming THAT'S THE GUY WHO STOLE MY HOMOEROTIC RIVAL !!!!!! KILL HIM !!!!!!!! in his head and pennsylvania is like what the fuck are you even talking about". thank you for your time

WTTT Week Day 6: “Meanwhile In…”

[wttt-week]

Welcome to the LAST DAY of #wttt week! It’s a free day, which means you can post whatever you want! Got something you’ve been wanting to post that doesn’t fit with any of the other prompts? Today’s the day, folks!!

I’m honestly blown away by all of your submissions this week!

There’s so much talent and creativity in this little fandom! I’ve had a lot of fun seeing everyone’s work and seeing how differently everyone has interpreted the prompts.

Once again, if I missed any of your posts, please let me know!

Great job, everyone!!! We did it!!

Meanwhile in San Francisco:

POV: You ask San Francisco what their gender is. (They’re not even kidding; their gender is literally fog.)

(I didn’t prepare anything super in-depth for Day 6 but please accept this old-ish sketch as tribute.)

I know this is a bad joke but it seemed funny to me at the time. 😅Please don’t kill me.

WTTT Week Day 6: Meanwhile in…

Ok so I didn’t really have any ideas for this other than Western PA, sooo I have some art and some yaps so enjoy :]

man i love the read more feature

anyways so I live in the western part of PA which is kinda second thought compared to Philly and I thought it would be silly to basically have the different reagins of PA be different people :D

Me when this shirt was worn like once in the series

I also made some doodles :D

The first one is I made a while ago but the second one is more recent :]

Btw Pennsyltucky is basically all of PA minus the Philly and Pittsburgh areas

This one has some New York regions as well. The one who’s frozen is western New York and the one laughing is The City also ignore that i spelt hershey and pennsyltucky wrong

I hope you’ve enjoyed cause I had fun drawing all these guys :D

dating games wttt week fic, link here! better late than never. probably not gonna get another fic out this week, sorry 😞 but 5 out of the planned 6 isn't bad

and, since it's an ohiogan fic (ofc it is), prime opportunity to use my fancy bingo board!

I debated the "inspired by music" square because the title IS a song lyric, but the fic came along before the title, and it doesn't even really match that song, anyway. it's just a good lyric

anyway I hope you enjoy!
