#aph New Jersey

[objection-zero]

What if I showed you guys my Hetalia OCs for the 50 states that I've been working on for the past 2 months?

👀👀

Delaware:

- Overly stressed all the time, he has a complex where he needs to feel important. So he opts to do work that would normally fall on the other 49 so he can seem important to them.

- He's the busyman of Delmarva, he gets everything squared away.

- He has the biggest, most effective puppy dog eyes in the world. They're just big and sad and it's hard to say no!

Pennsylvania:

- Very active, has a gym in her home for sure even though she prefers to go outside and work out.

- She and Delaware are very close, as the first two states they became good friends (and New Jersey!). She does her best to protect Delaware when she can.

- Very straightforward, she doesn't mess around. You always know what to expect from her.

New Jersey:

- Loud. So very loud. Always wearing gaudy makeup and unappealing clothing.

- She's very loyal as a friend though–her and New York hang out constantly, with half of their time dedicated to debating something or other loud enough for everyone around them to hear.

- She and New York have been in a battle over the ownership of the Statue of Liberty for a long time. Since the statue is technically on an island that belongs to her, but New York will not give it up. She owns the gift shop.

Georgia:

- One of my favorite states, I love her and her design very dearly.

- I like to think of her as a Mary Sue type, where she's always busy and has an overwhelming amount of work to handle, but she does it all so easily and so effectively that you'd never guess how much she does.

- Also, she owns a peach orchid absolutely.

Connecticut:

- "Um, actually—🤓👆" embodied.

- Everyone is sick of how entitled he is, because he acts like he's so much more intelligent than everyone.

- Which is funny because he is really really smart, but still not as smart as he pretends to act.

- He's one of the only states that's friends with Ohio.

Massachusetts:

- Do not utter the word "revolution" around this man or he will go nuts.

- Very quick to act, very quick to anger. He likes to set things on fire—he always carries a lighter on him— and argue. If he ever came face to face with England, it would probably go very badly.

- He despises tea, to the point he physically cannot drink it.

Maryland:

- The mediator of Delmarva, this man is the master of solving problems. He's the sweetest.

- Also, the best chef in the country aside from Louisiana and I cannot stress that enough. You know this man has a BIG kitchen in his house.

South Carolina:

- The bimbo of the country okay.

- I just love the idea of her being so determined to be a farmer, but struggling so much because she's just not designed to be a farmer. But she won't give up even though she probably should.

- She's good friends with Georgia but her and North Carolina definitely have a rivalry going on.

New Hampshire:

- Can this man calm down? Please?

- He basically bounces off the walls, definitely has ADHD, and always down to do somethint stupid.

- He spends a good portion of his time bugging Vermont because she's easy to annoy. New Hampshire and Vermont are very close though. The siblings ever.

Virginia:

- I had to make one of them emo okay.

- She's the confident leader of Delmarva for sure. As the first state colonized, she's got a good heart for leadership. She's the state that works the closest with America directly.

- Despite being emo, she's very sweet.

Ahhh Image limit. Check repost for the other states!

Some Hudson Valley holidays that occur in May ft. my idiots. Just wanted to draw some costumes ngl 💀. Anyways I’ll give some explanation to each of the little Polaroids cause ik most of these holidays aren’t well known.

Just a drawing of Emma celebrating Pinkster. I haven’t drawn Emma in years lolllll & I don’t work on her much anymore, but I thought she’d partake in the festivities. In this region, Pinkster is a Pentecost celebration brought over by the Dutch, but became more associated with the traditions brought over by enslaved Africans especially as their enslavers would allow them to travel and see their families and celebrate during this time. European settlers also partook in these festivities as well, but it just became more associated as an African-American holiday within New York & New Jersey.

Elise & Jennie being nice for a moment and taking a photo together lol, they probs went back to bickering after this cause they have issues 💀. Jennie is there cause this is her state capital, Elise was probably just invited cause she’s Jennie’s sister and both were alive during the Dutch colonial area. But anyways this is supposed to be them at Albany’s Tulip Festival. Tulip Fest began about 76 years ago celebrating Albany & Nijmegen’s friendship especially as the citizens of Albany raised significant funds and sent much needed supplies to Nijmegen following the Second World War. Also many Dutch-Americans in this area can trace their ancestry back to Gelderland. The Anyways Tulip Festival is a celebration of that friendship, but also of Albany’s Dutch heritage. The particular costumes Elise & Jennie are wearing is associated with the street sweeping ceremony + these costumes were only introduced to Albany 76 years ago. These are new here. Actually Emma & Will’s costumes are older.

Ok just a little silly doodle of Lynn giving Will a kiss during Pinkster.

Hetalia without crack ships is like an angel without wings

Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey

Heights are wack don’t pay attention to them

Sorry for still not answering those asks GAHH, I wanted to focus on the remaining designs b/c I’m so close to finishing all 50

[buttmano]

have these general hcs for aph PA, NJ, & NY.

rating: fluff, crack, thirst

Aph Pennsylvania (Broderick aka Brody) is a built firefighter

Like one of those thick ass first responders

Goes viral for responding to a call and standing there at 6'4, yanking the hose like it weighs nothing

Aph NY (Victoria aka Vic) was probably the one recording

Aph New Jersey (Giovanni aka Gio) as an EMT, CPR certified and making all the hunnies faint

Brody is similar to Ludwig in that he just Puts Up With the other two

Though Vic and Gio are so much more chaotic than Feli and Kiku

They say the most out of pocket shit and Brody just -_-

Gio has such a small state that whenever Vic is by NYC or Brody is by Philadelphia he's hopping in his car to come meet them

"Brody, you don't have any beaches, come visit mine~" "you're just bored, aren't you?" "...yes."

Their instas have the best pictures

The pics where you see them and go "damn thats an aesthetic"

[incorrectaphstatequotes]

Ohio: How long do you think I could survive in a refrigerator?

New Jersey: I- I actually don’t know the answer to that one. Wanna test it out?

Ohio: Yes!

*Later*

Delaware: Hey New Jersey have you seen Ohio at all?

New Jersey: *Looking at their phone* Yes, exactly 1 hour 34 minutes and 6 seconds ago.

Delaware: Why did you do it to the last second?

*Muffled thump of something hitting the inside of the refrigerator door*

New Jersey: 1 hour 34 minutes and 12 seconds is the answer!!

*Delaware opens the door and Ohio falls out*

Delaware: …

Delaware: I’m telling America

Living in the free world, we're so fucking blind - praying we'll be fine. (Yes I stole a lyric from a song. Sue me.)

for this ask prompt

living in the free world, we're so fucking blind - praying we'll be fine

Elijah wishes he could say he's surprised as he watches the world change for the worse around him. He and Fatima always talk about places they could go if things get worse. If they become more dangerous, or more frightening.

But he worries. Will they really know when it's time? Will it be enough time to get out and away? To find safety elsewhere? And how will they stand what they have to leave behind? Their lives and friends, their pets, and above all else, their family.

They talk about leaving practically every night now. Fleeing for another hemisphere. But they don't book the flights, or look at visas. They just fall asleep, wake up, and go to work. Rinse and repeat.

Living in the free world has never felt so much like being trapped in a cage.

“Are you blushing?” Nicky and adam ( I miss them)

fluff 27. “Are you blushing?”

Nicky has been acting odd all day, avoiding kisses and cuddling, and maybe it’s just anxiety but it makes Adam wonder if he’s going to be dumped soon. 

Adam completely tosses out the idea of a breakup that night when Nicky pulls him closer, resting his chin on Adam's head. Surely Nicky wouldn't do that if he was going to break up with him, right? ~ The answer hits him in the morning when he wakes up. Nicky's cheeks are flushed, and laying a hand on his forehead just proves what Adam just realized. Nicky's sick. He runs his hand through Nicky's sweat-damp hair and sighs. Of course, Nicky would rather suffer in silence than ruin their week together. Adam gets out of bed slowly, careful not to wake up Nicky. He's going to take care of his sick boyfriend if it kills him. ~ Chicken noodle soup should not be this hard, Adam thinks sadly as he stares at the current disaster of a batch. "What's burning?" Adam glances over his shoulder, narrowing his eyes at Nicky, who's yawning in the kitchen entryway. There goes breakfast in bed. 

Nicky raises his eyebrows. “Are you blushing?” 

Adam doesn’t dignify that with a response. 

Nicky pads over to examine the pot, eyebrows knitting together in confusion. "Why are you trying to make soup at," he glances at the clock on the wall. "Nine in the morning?" "Because you're sick." "I'm not sick." The statement is slightly contradicted by the fact that he's still flushed from his fever, his hair is sweat-damp despite the house being air-conditioned, and that he has a hand on the counter to balance himself. Adam crosses his arms. "Really? Let's go get the thermometer then." Nicky winces. "Okay. Maybe I'm a little sick." "A little?"

Nicky shrugs.

*sometime during the American Revolution*

NY: Thats... a horrible plan. Terrible. Like... I don't know what to even do with that.

MA: well, rn its the only plan we have. The southern colonies are doing what they can, but there's only so much they can do.

NY: NJ and me, tho? Really?? I don't want to deal with that tosser.

NJ: I mean, same. But, MA is right - it IS the only plan we have.

NY: ...

NY: fine. But if I die, its your fault, and im coming back to haunt you.

DC, a small tyke, looking up from his toy soldiers: can we really die??

NY: ...

NY: alright, not only did I not like how curious he was about that, but why are we in charge of him? Isn't he VA's charge?

MA: VA wants him somewhere safer -and yes I know how that sounds - and he's at that age where he only has one thing on his mind.

NJ: bedtime?

MA: death.

second half of my wee halloween comic

first half can be found here

if you're an adult you can find an extra scene on my twitter

[ask-thefiftystatesofamerica]

Is New Jersey's hair natural or dyed? Either way, I love it!

It’s natural!

Along with looking absolutely fabulous, New Jersey takes great pride in his flaming red hair and for good reason.

It’s brought him no problem, because despite the whole ginger = witchcraft thing, that’s pretty much a myth.

If you’re curious about where I got that from - you can check here!

Drew this during uno night! I should go back to designing states.

Give me some states to design, might even do some of Canada’s provinces.

[buttmano]

Aph England: Do not fear death. Fear the state in which you die.

Aph America: *shudders and whispers* New Jersey...
