*puts nerf gun to your head* wholesome NY hc’s :)

**dw you don’t actually have to**

Ahh New York my boyyy I'm so happy!! Sorry I didn't really see this earlier so I'm answering it kind of a lot later than when you sent it

Come to think of it, most of the hcs I've had for this adorable cat are actually angst-filled 😭😭 (sorry NY 🥲) so let's see what I've got...

Hmm okay so he's old, right? Like maybe not to the OG 13 but for the rest of the states he definitely acts like a grandpa without even meaning to. Gov has banned Vermont from having any maple syrup in the statehouse ever since a disastrous dentist trip? Oh no, who took him outside during the winter to make maple taffy?? What's that - he looked sad, New York? Hmm alrighttt thennn... ✨️✨️

Also I feel like he gives great hugs. Hugs from New York are rare but the best, so even through they're infrequent, they're to die for. Some of the younger states in the west have had physical brawls over who gets to cuddle with New York first when he's in a good mood. New York is amazing at comforting people, because despite the 'leave-me-alone-I-don't-care' attitude he displays, man's got a heart of gold and is wonderful at helping people stop crying.

Also he's not just good at hugging others. He himself loves being cuddled, but you'll never hear it from him. After a long tiring day of work (he is definitely a workaholic I don't even need to explain this about him), he goes up to the other NE states or Loui (because if you don't love Loui, then you're the problem - not him) and just curls up by their side like a cat (obviously). Whoever he chooses will usually just sit there in the silence and relax with him, since he doesn't talk much as it is - preferring to let his actions speak for themselves - so when he's tired there's no way you're hearing much from him.

He loves music. He tries to go at least once every weekend to the park and listen to his favourite punk rock songs (I don't know any so I can't give examples here) while feeding the pigeons there.

Speaking of pigeons, those creatures love him and he loves them. He could just be out on the street with another state and one of these birds will come up to him to perch on his shoulder. Also rats. This is, unsurprisingly, a major source of his arguments with the others but he will keep a few as pets all the time. He once tried to make a sanctuary dedicated solely to pigeons and rats. Following disasters unforeseen (only by him), he now sticks to bird-feeders in his balcony and keeping the occasional pocket-warmer rat in his jacket.

His black jacket is his favourite thing to wear. Unless he's going to an event wherein he absolutely feels it wouldn't be right to wear (and he should know, after all, since New York is recognised as the official capital of US fashion apparently - ignore this time's Fashion Week, we all have bad years), he will adorn it all the time. It's practically a part of his personality now; one of his defining features.

Another thing that he rarely ever opens is his red beanie (I'm ignoring his current outfits in recent videos, only other thing I really like is that grey T-shirt with "New York vs Everyone Else" or something like that. I hope to someday have a shirt like that but with my name instead). I'm not the first to say this but he has the fluffiest hair. He doesn't let many touch it, or touch him in general, but those who he cuddles up with when tired will unreservedly stroke his hair because it's so calming for both of them...but NY was not the one who said this.

Roses are a love language in themselves and he expressed his love with them. He knows exactly what each type of rose represents, and not only does he give them out to people accordingly, but he also helps the other states give someone they adore the right roses. He's even aided some of the states into their present relationships too. Flowers in general are also something he likes, and he even keeps a garden filled with them during the right seasons.

Also since the UN World Headquarters are located in New York, he gets along well with the other countries too, consequently keeping in touch with IDC a lot. I firmly believe that he was the one to teach her stuff like diplomacy and all that, just as I think he was the one who really taught Gov how to run a nation and make a country stronger. This doesn't really come in wholesome NY hcs exactly but I do have some thoughts about this so if you want me to I'll elaborate on them.

I didn't really have many wholesome headcannons either so I've given some other ones as well too hope that's fine. Thanks for your ask and do give me more in the future! I'd love to answer them! I really don't mind being asked for hcs.

Now put down the nerf gun you don't want to get hurt 🙃 /j
