Wttsh New York - Blog Posts

*cough cough* I heard someone say Baseball NY and Hockey NJ?

@alaskashigh *points aggressively* YOU!!!! I wanted to do this literally all day since I saw your post!!!!

I think this is like such a fun dynamic, whether it's shipped or just their normal bullshit (personally I don't ship them but I can agree with those who do ship them, they are very cute together)

They are arguing about who gets the backyard probably, a very common argument once the baseball season pops up I'd imagine (and I am), half the time the only reason they stop is because of a meeting lol

I'm back, finally, with another chapter of The New State Groupchat. Enjoy :D

—

New Mexico dropped his phone upon hearing the blasting music from the hall. Opening his door the only thing he hears is

“OH OH OHAHO, OH OH AOH, OH OH OH OHAHO, THE RIGHT STUUAAAHHHHH-” 

The screams continued even as he shut the door

“Nope”

May I request NY angst hc’s? 👁️👁️

*🩴 (iykyk)*

Ask and thou shall receive. It’s not as many as I probably could have done but apperently when I have to do angst all my creative skills go out the window lolz

New York-

Never wears a shirt with sleeves shorter than elbow length, something something the British

Hates being in confined spaces without someone whos trusted, so Jersey and Mass

Yeaahhh his parents abandoned him to his grandparents, and he was abandoned or left behind multiple times during the war, so if he’s alone for too long he goes straight into a panic attack

Martial. Law. (The damn British)

Was on a class trip in NYC when the towers got towered with NJ and Rhode, watched the first tower get hit and then he woke up half a month later

Kidnapped and murdered multiple times, you know, normal colonial times

He’ll never admit it in any serious capacity but Action Park seriously traumatized him, he has not properly gone swimming at a park since

When he does sleep he doesn’t normally dream, when he does dream it’s always nightmares about pretty much his entire life, honestly he really needs therapy

Look!!! Children!!!! Aren't they adorable. I've had a lil' Jersey design for a while but York...not so much, like at all, so y'all are getting this.

They are just so cute, I'm so good at this truly XD

Have NJ and NY. Just wanted to do a quick sketch, bit bored, hockey in a few hours though so I have that to look forward too :D

May we please have some NY hc’s? 👁️👁️

*not forcing*

I am so sorry for this being literal DAYS late, things happen but I still feel bad, anyway I shall deliver as it is better late than never!!

Doesn’t like planes (feel like it obvious why)

Can figure skate, likes to do so for 30 minutes as a warm up before hockey

He has a lot of scars, pretty much all on his chest and arms though he does have a good few on his legs

Met Delaware when he visited Netherlands home for the first time, he continued to visit every weekend until Netherland had to leave

Actually likes Netherland, way better than England that’s for sure

He found out that there was a another New state when he found New Mexico going through his kitchen, he still doesn’t have a single idea how NM had gotten there and neither does NM

Friendship bracelets, specifically Loom (the rubber bands)

He has some problems with his own humanity because while yes he is a state personification, he also had parents and has grandparents, something that pretty much every state except for a few have,  swimming in the Hudson didn’t help at all seeing as now he’s all sorts of something

While he and Jersey seem attached at the hip, they actually don’t spend nearly as much time together as the other states thing, yeah they are slightly attached at the hip but they will go weeks without a single hello at times

Hates change, he went through so much of it as a child that he can’t stand it now

Spinny chair go brrrrr

“I’m not autistic, I just don’t like you”

He can’t really drive, like he has his license but is terrified to use it in his own state, he prefers public transport in the city rather than driving and always lets Jersey drive whenever they are in a car

He doesn’t like fireworks, they are pretty much way to loud for him to be okay

Used to have a pet duck

could you do Ny/Nj/Cal being fluffy?

So ok, I wasn't sure if you wanted this to be writing or a drawing or headcanons about them, so I just did a drawing. Sorry btw that it's so late, I had no idea what to do for this.

May we have some NY and NJ hc’s? Like- stuff that they do together and how they act with each other? 👁️👁️

*its fine if not*

Hehe I was super excited to do this one but sadly I do things in order of oldest to newest BUT none the less, here you go, our favorite stupid bastards

New Jersey and New York-

Jersey likes to cuddle and York likes receiving cuddles, so it isn’t uncommon to find the two together in the North living room

Jersey = Jer-bear, York = Yorka-doodle, they never call each other these in front of others

They go skating a ton, early morning public skate and public hockey are mainly what they do

Always fighting when it comes to certain foods, specifically pizza and bagels, otherwise they are perfect with each other in the kitchen

Jersey sends York stupid stuff from Tumblr, York does the same but with Twitter

Impromptu sleepovers in York's room happen a lot, York has sleep problems and as said before, Jersey cuddles, win win sitch

They fight, a lot, technically it’s just arguments but to pretty much everyone except the NE, it sounds like fighting (granted the NE sometimes thinks they are genuinely fighting but shh)

“Murder is illegal”  “You can’t murder people it’s rude” etc. are said whenever they are in the city

Despite not talking to each other for about 40ish years, they went right back to how they were before, if just a bit closer

They both fake hate each other, for no reason other than seeing the shocked faces of the other states while they simply cook breakfast together

Just Dance Night (the other states get flashbacks when ever they hear the Just Dance intro)

They like to just exist in the same space, doesn’t matter if they are doing two completely different things, they’ll continue to hang out VIRGINIA

They bet on everything, who will get to the table faster, who will make breakfast the quickest without messing up, everything

They always think to message the other first when something is happening, doesn’t matter if the sitch doesn’t really need the other, they still will

Since Jersey still speaks fluent Dutch and York has his broken messed up Dutch that Jersey understands, they will ‘gossip’ to each other in front of the other states

When they do that, they are really just talking about dinner plans and what movies they should see, but in the most condescending and judgmental tone they can

Movie dates, any movie whether they think it’ll be good or not

They sometimes come of as very big and little brother coded, York being the older while Jerseys the younger, when in reality it’s switched

Jersey finds it hilarious whenever people think he and York are dating, they aren’t, they consider each other brothers and technically are, York always wants to kill the people who do think they are dating, “Murder is Illegal Yorkie” he doesn’t care

Family dinners are once a month with Jersey’s moms and occasionally not, father, father, and York's grandparents

They have so much dirt on each other that if one says something so will the other, you know the nuclear deal between America and Russia? Yeah it’s basically that but with blackmail

If one’s sick the others clingy, if one's sad the others clingy, if one-

They like to dance with each other, even if there’s no music (it’s mainly spinning without music though)

Jersey has bad English days sometimes, so York will translate, on those days they tend to just haul up in York's room and put on a random Hockey game

I'm going skating but I decided to whip this up before I left sooo ENJOY!!!

New Jersey-

Play Fights

Every region has their own thing that they do as a fun competition. The West Coast does comedy nights, where they see who can make the most people laugh. The South has what they call Hunt Offs, to see who’s the best hunter. And the Midwest likes to do cook offs, with the South being taste testers.

The North Coast has play fights, multiple rounds through the course of two days, normally held on a weekend. This includes Maine all the way at the top of the North Coast, all the way down to Florida, which allows for a larger roster.

It started as just a thing the New Netherland area did, over time it expanded to include the whole of the North East, then Delaware wanted Maryland to join and soon it spireled to the whole North Coast.

Of course it started out friendly enough, everyone tended to go a bit softer on Georgia since he isn’t nearly as rough as everyone else. Then North and South Carolina would make a bet when they fought, which had Pennsylvania open up a proper betting pool. The play fighting weekend always ended up with everyone sore to all hell and back, saying to themselves to never do this again and specifically never go up against New Jersey again.

Jersey was strong, while it didn’t visibly look like he could pretty easily lift 400 like it was 20, he could. However he often forgot just how strong he was compared to everyone else, it wasn’t like the rest of the states were weak but when compared to them, Jersey was like a powerhouse.

He isn’t too sure as to why he’s so strong, especially since he normally comes off as looking like a twig, however he did believe it was most likely something demon related. He knows his own demon, not father, father is no slouch in the strength department, and Jersey also knows that he could easily get his strength up more. 

It’s not like he wants to hurt the others, he really doesn’t, sure it’s a bit funny to have Northie pinned down after five seconds of fighting and sure it’s amazing to be better than Yorkie, but it doesn’t make up for the fact that he’s hurting friends, people who are basically his family.

Despite him being significantly stronger than the others, he never has actually won before. He always gets in his head when up against Yorkie, always ends up hurting him the worst, always dropping out after and just watches over the betting pools. 

It’s basically tradition at this point for Jersey to tend to everyone’s wounds after this, whether it’s early in the games or he and Yorkie were in the semi finals, it doesn’t matter. 

Jersey has a big heart, a big heart that can’t bear to see him hurt his family, so he’ll try to make up for it. Cooking for everyone involved, taking care of their wounds if Rhody brought a knife again (seriously he has got to stop doing that), just generally being a nicer person for a good week before he starts to go back to normal.

The next time the play fighting happens, the same thing will happen again, a vicious cycle that Jersey can’t snap himself out of.

So I added a fanfic snippet part to the google doc, wrote one for Jersey, Cali and then York, and York's the only one I want to share at the moment. Maybe I will share the other ones if asked but for now it's just this, ENJOY

New York-

Sleep

New York liked to sleep, it was peaceful and calming and he didn’t have to think about everything going on around him, it was the perfect break from his ADHD mind. However sleep did not like him, he wouldn’t be able to sleep for days until he basically passed out.

Mass was able to figure out that because NYC is the city that never sleeps, New York can’t really either. The two figured out that as long as he keeps up with a routine, he should be able to get to sleep easier and faster, though having a routine has its own problems. 

Table meetings could happen very early in the morning sometimes, and if York had to go to those meetings it would screw his whole schedule up. It wasn’t until one night where he finally was able to have a solution.

It was pouring out, rolls of thunder after flashes of lightning happening what seemed like every second. York likes the rain and thunder, it was calming, especially when the wind was loud, it was easiest for him to fall asleep. 

This was not the case for New Jersey. Jersey hated storms, wouldn’t be able to fall asleep until it was barely raining anymore and that wasn’t even consistent. He used to like them, though not as much as York did, but after hurricane Irene in 2011 and hurricane Sandy the following year, he could never see them the same.

This is why it wasn’t all too surprising to hear hard knocking on his door, opening it to find an exhausted and wet faced Jersey. Letting him in and onto the bed, the two sat there for a long while until York heard light snores coming from the other.

New York sat there even longer just thinking, hearing the rain start to die down he felt himself start to tire. He wasn’t feeling particularly tired before, but now, with Jersey laying on top of him as peacefully as someone afraid of storms can, he felt just as exhausted as Jersey had looked. 

For the first time in a few days, New York found himself able to sleep with ease as the wind slowed and the constant thunder and lighting became less and less. 

The two didn’t speak of this afterward, they never tended to when it came to storm sleepovers, York preferred just to remind him that he’s always free to come over if he can’t sleep, this time however Jersey said that the offer was mutual. 

York thought this over a few nights later when he couldn’t sleep and desperately needed to. Making up his mind, he snapped over to Jersey place, knocked on the door and waited for a moment before it opened.

When Jersey questioned why he was here York only said “Wanna have a sleepover?”.

*shakes cup* any spare NY hc’s? 👁️👁️

Ignore that it's been like 16 hours, I didn't fall asleep right after posting idk what your talking about. Anyway I do yes here you go

New York-

He likes games, board games, arcades, video games, all of them, if they exist he most likely has something about it in his basement

Jersey managed to convince him to go to Action Park one time in the 90s, never again (he almost drowned....thrice)

Is one of the best shots out of all the states, not that he’ll ever use a gun anymore

He’s completely different when he’s sick, clingy and whiny and not to be left alone, imagine a 4 year old, that’s him when sick

He doesn’t like crowds, probably because of old timey trauma

When he went back to high school, he became a slight scene kid, just slightly

Was severely touched starved before the StateHouse, now though he is only what the NE considers a normal amount of touched starved

Cat.......that’s it, he’s basically just a cat

Will drink tea just to piss Mass off

Doesn’t like the cold, he used to go down to Florida during the winter in the 70s and 80s, however Jersey, Connie, and NH managed to convince him that the cold is worth it because snow

He doesn’t like Domino’s or Papa John’s, to him they are just cheap imitations of good Italian food (despite Domino’s not being Italian)

Knew Italian first, then learned Dutch and later English, if he’s exhausted he’ll speak Dutch most likely, if he’s exhausted AND sick he speaks Italian and good luck understanding him cause oh boy it’s Italian from like 400 years ago

Mentally ill, PTSD and ADHD

Has an Emotional Support Plague Doctor™ gifted to him from Penn as a Christmas gift

Doesn’t own a single bag, not a shopping bag, not a backpack, nothing

Used to be a singer in the 20s

Prefers music from the 60s to the 2010s than anything today

Gets forced places by Jersey, Cali, Kentucky and Tennessee, or NM and NH, or all of them at the same time

It’s hard for him to genuinely hate people, for a long time he only genuinely hated England, though that hate has faded overtime

He used to like wave pools, and then he almost drowned (thrice) (no he will never NOT use this as an excuse to not go to a New Jersey waterpark)

Once lost a bet and had to be a cat boy maid for a day (Still mad at Nevada about it)

May I humbly request more NY hc’s 👁️👁️

*its fine if not*

Why of course good sir, I have way too much fun writing and thinking about these.

New York-

Has grandparents, it’s best you don’t question how they are still alive

Theater kid, has seen Hamilton and Wicked more times than he can count

Always moving, normally just tapping his foot or tapping his fingers, not nearly as bad as NJ and holds this over his head

“I have better ADHD than you do” has been said multiple times by him to NJ

Likes to hike, doesn’t get a chance to do it often but when he can he does, not alone though, never alone

Met Mass for the first time when he was changed from New Amsterdam to New York

Had a harder time understanding certain accents when he was younger, not as bad as NJ but it still caused a problem for a while

Knows Italian and Spanish, he can still understand and write in Dutch but can’t properly speak it

Used to call Jersey ‘Joisey’ in the early 2000s, had to stop or else they would have gone to war

Currently calls Jersey ‘Jerz’ or ‘Taffy’, occasionally calls him ‘Trent’ but that normally ends with a shoe to the head

Likes to call Cali ‘B’ and ‘Nia’

Will occasionally call Florida ‘Disney’ and ‘Swampy’

He does own a gun but prefers a knife

During 2020 he did cooking videos and ‘how to acquire *blank item*’ videos, would sometimes be joined by Vermont and Maine

New Hampshire is his cousin and his brother depending on the situation 

While he denies it, he was the one who created the New state group chat

 He likes both Football and Hockey equally, no one ever believes him though

Takes the best photos of himself ever but most of them are like 2008 cringe types of photos

He’s not scared of heights but he HATES drop towers, any and all he will refuse to go on, he will not hesitate to bite if you try

@almostangrything Here ya go, this was fun to do and lets be honest NY would kill Texas if he ever tried to do this while he was awake.
