hi senpai 🫣 do you have a new jersey oc i can steal for a drawing idea i had (mostly new york and new jersey arguing over who’s the truest italian-american state and thus is liked by romano more)

🥸 I do have a New Jersey (image on the left) ! Her name is Elise and she’s Jennie/ NY’s (annoying) younger sister. Alas both my New York & New Jersey are of Sephardic & Dutch descent.

However, I do have Frank/ Staten Island 🤲 if you require an Italian- American (I keep it vague, but he’s probably a Neapolitan. Also he’s half Walloon but 🤫)

I do have it on good authority from Italian- Am & Jewish - Am friends and mutuals irl and online that they often joke how they’re lowkey the same & that’s why they often play each other’s roles in movies.

Here are mochis of my state OCs (+ Staten Island)

Staten Island: hehe…oops

The Bronx: Good job, Frank, you missed me by a lot.

I would say violet for someone that would balance you out, but Germany is no doubt also a workaholic who is too hard on himself, same as Japan. So... yellow. I think he can make you chill out and relax, also help with your self-esteem issues (or with you overworking yourself and stuff). Red might also work, but I personally like the idea of gray because that'll be fun XD

Violet- Aph Germany

Yellow- Aph France

Red- Aph America

Gray- Aph Prussia

I think I’d get along with Germany pretty well. I would admire his work ethic and how responsible he is. Japan would be sweet but might be a little too quiet and shy. France is low-key Staten Island boy and we all know what happened with him -- constant sparring (then again, he has become a really good friend, we still talk daily, and there is very obvious sexual tension even though we’re not together lmao so maybe you’re right, anon).

🤣  I feel like I would be much too intense for America. He’d definitely cry at some point, and his hyper activeness would get to me -- I’d feel like his mother and not a partner. He’s that boy you date because you tell yourself you should branch out to new types of people and then you realize “oh, no, this was a big mistake.” He would be childish and not particularly thoughtful, which would turn me off. 

Prussia is interesting. Idk honestly. I feel like it would be either really good and hilarious or really really bad lol. No middle ground.

My vaccinations are up to date. My worming is up to date. I have been microchipped. Behavior Assessment Date of intake:: 8/21/2018 Means of surrender (length of time in previous home):: Owner surrender Previously lived with:: 1 adult, 1 dog Behavior toward strangers:: Shy initially though warms up and is friendly Behavior toward children:: Unknown Behavior toward dogs:: Playful Behavior toward cats:: Unknown Resource guarding:: Shades is separated from other dogs during feedings as he will growl and bark; this resource guarding behavior has not been observed or directed onto humans. Bite history:: None reported Housetrained:: Yes Energy level/descriptors:: High energy level Date of assessment:: 8/22/2018 Look:: 1. Dog leans forward or jumps up to lick the Assessor's face with tail wagging, ears back and eyes averted. Sensitivity:: 1. Dog stands still and accepts the touch, eyes are averted, and tail is in neutral position with a relaxed body posture. Dog's mouth is likely closed for at least a portion of the assessment item. Tag:: 1. Dog follows at the end of the leash, body low and a bit fearful. Paw squeeze 1:: 1. Dog gently pulls back his/her paw. Paw squeeze 2:: 1. Dog gently pulls back his/her paw. Toy:: 1. No interest. Summary:: Shades was a bit timid and shy during his assessment though readily warmed up to assessor/handler. He allowed all handling without issue and remained soft throughout. Summary (1):: According to Shades previous owner, Shades is social and playful with other dogs. Here at the Care Centers, Shades is social and slightly sexually motivated. He explores the yard, and seeks attention from the handlers. The Behavior Department recommends that Shades be placed in a home with resident dogs that match his energy. 8/22: When off leash at the Care Centers, Shades anxiously enters the yard. He exchanges greets with a soft body before exploring the yard. He spends several minutes jumping on handlers for attention, then re-approaches the greeter with the intent to mount. He listens to interruptions and walks away. 8/23-24: Shades was paired with a social puppy. He appropriately greets her, then explores the yard. When she solicits play, using her mouth, Shades tolerates her but ignores her. Date of intake:: 8/21/2018 Summary:: Shy though allowed petting, began to wag and solicit attention from counselor ENERGY LEVEL:: In his previous home environment Shades is reported to have a high energy level, in the care center he has displayed a medium energy level. We recommend daily mental and physical stimulation as a way to positively direct his energy and enthusiasm. BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION:: EXPERIENCE (suitable for an adopter with some previous dog experience, especially with the behaviors outlined below) Behavior Asilomar: TM - Treatable-Manageable Potential challenges: : Resource guarding,Fearful Potential challenges comments:: Resource guarding: Shades is reported growl and bark at other dogs who approach him while he is eating, therefore the previous owner separated him during feedings. Though this was not reported to be directed onto humans, we recommend that Shades be left alone while eating, and that food guarding behavior modification steps (available at ASPCApro.org) be utilized if this behavior is problematic in his future home. Nothing should ever be taken directly out of Shade's mouth, and any time something is removed he should be rewarded with a high value treat or toy. He should be taught the "drop" cue and trade-up games. Appropriate management is highly advised when feeding Shades in the presence of other animals. Fearful: Shades takes some time to warm up to new people, though he shows good coping skills when uncomfortable. His previous owner also notes that while he does warm up and is friendly, he may be shy. We feel he will do best with an adopter prepared to allow him to warm up to new people and new environments slowly. Use of treats and other rewards will help to make new experiences positive.

Happy holidays ! Ft. The boroughs & Will/Albany. No text version beneath

[ask-nyc-boroughs]

So which boroughs are poor and which ones are rich? Do you try to help each other out? Also, this is giving me Great Gatsby vibes.

Manhattan: Well Tony and I are filthy rich! I mean we were always rich, we’re both cities. Well Tony isn’t anymore and he wasn’t always as rich as me. The rest of them are well the usual, kinda poor I guess. Whatever without me, they’d all still be farming. Now they’re all doing construction and what not.

Brooklyn: Was any of that necessary to add?

Staten Island: Oh my god! You’re Mr. Italy right?!

Romano:…uh…sure…

Queens: Should we help him?

The Bronx: With Frank, it’s all souls for themselves.

So yeah, Brooklyn and Manhattan are and were on the more wealthier side than the other boroughs. Up until the turn of the last century, most of the other boroughs with the exception of Manhattan and Brooklyn were mostly farmland. Also duahshs yeah I guess it does have Great Gatsby vibes lol. And everyone who guessed the pose in the opening post, here’s a gold star ⭐️

also howdy I said it before but I’ll say it again, I like @askitaliaromano ‘s hc of Romano working in the US during that period.

“You all are so far away from my country it makes me wonder if you’ve ever even tried any authentic food, and not what ever the hell Alfred thinks he’s doing with ‘Mexican Food’..”

Staten Island: Well I really like Taco Bell-

Manhattan, covering Staten Island’s mouth: Haha funny Frank.

Manhattan, angry whispering to Staten Island: We can’t look like idiots!

Manhattan: What Frank means to say is that while Mexican Americans do make up the third largest Latino group in the city, they’re still a newer group to the city than let’s say Puerto Ricans, so their presence is still being cemented. Long story short…we mostly have had Alfred’s version of your food… :( But we’re totally open to trying new things.

Staten Island, whispering back to Manhattan: Lynn…but isn’t T-

Manhattan: Finish that thought and I swear to god I’m going to make sure you’re part of New Jersey.

[ask-nyc-boroughs]

@ask-nicaragua , this fact bothers me. I feel bad for Adrian that he unfortunately in the same category as something as Frank is in

[ask-nyc-boroughs]

Frank is the same height as Lupe lmao

Unfortunately, they are stuck with Frank.

Staten Island: We’re gonna be best buddies guys >:)

Queens: Lmao please take him.

Boroughoes at the beach

Just something more light from the past two posts :)

Lynn (Manhattan) just soaks up the sun while practically her feral children the other boroughs sneak up to flip over Tony’s (Brooklyn) floatie.

[ask-nyc-boroughs]

What neighborhood do they live in?

Lynn (Manhattan) lives in the Upper East Side. xoxo gossip girl here. It’s expensive , the way she likes it.

Tony (Brooklyn, lol I changed his name cause I didn’t like it) lives in Carroll Gardens. He moved there around the 1870s, easier access to New York City.

Rodrigo (The Bronx) lives in Morrisania. He’s lived here since it was the Morris Manor.

Andy (Queens) lives in Elmhurst. He’s moved around a few times, he lived in Flushing for a while, but decided to settle in Elmhurst in the 1950s

Frank (Staten Island) lives in Old Town. This was where the original Dutch settlement in Staten Island was located. It was called Oude Dorp.

[ask-nyc-boroughs]

What is everyone’s zodiac sign?

Rodrigo (the Bronx) is an Aries

Lynn (Manhattan) is a Gemini

Frank (Staten Island) is a Leo

Andy (Queens) is a Libra

Tony (Brooklyn) is Sagittarius

Ok technically it was 2 days ago! But this blog has officially existed for 1 year so here’s quick drawing of the boroughoes boroughs . I just want to thank you guys for coming here and checking this out :) like this means a lot and I’m really grateful.

[ask-nyc-boroughs]

What's your favorite place to be in you guys??

Staten Island: So I know that we, well more like Lynn, gets the nickname the city that never sleeps. And sure we like to hang out at parks and other shit…but at the end of the day we crave sleep so…bed I guess. We’re not really too different from humans

100+ Followers Event: Revolution

It’s the beginning of 1775, the province of New York has been an English colony for almost a hundred years now. Prior to that it was a proprietary colony and before part of a Dutch colony by the name of New Netherlands with its largest city being New Amsterdam (now the City of New York). Yet the colonists have grown restless since the end of the French & Indian War due to the heavy presence of the British government and the taxes.

Cities across the 13 have resulted to violence and property damage, especially Boston, but others like the City of New York and her surrounding towns fear the retaliation of the British.

ahhhh hey guys! So it’s been like almost 4 months since I hit 100+! And I’ve been planning this for you So the way this will work, every 2-3 asks a part of the story will be revealed. There are 3 parts to this story! I won’t be answering any non-event related asks until we get to the final part of the story. This is also my first time hosting an event so bear with me, but please send in some asks ! Thanks!!! :D
