[plastic-flowerx]

[lilhawkeye3]

This Ohio discourse has got me dying to create discourse about every other state now hehe so I officially present:

Hawk’s review of 36/50 US states!

In alphabetical order because that fuckin song “50 nifty United States” has been stuck in my head since fourth grade.

Arizona: Phoenix is hot. Can’t believe y’all choose to live in a place that gets haboobs. Saw Sen. John McCain in the airport. I feel that sums up the state well. 4/10

California: as a resident of the state of Oregon, I’m legally required to say fuck California😌 unless anyone else talking shit about Cali and then we got your back😤 SoCal vs San Fran vs Northern Cal are totally different worlds though. 7/10

Colorado: damn idk how y’all breathe there, them air is thin. But really pretty out there! 7/10

Connecticut: oh my god fuck New Haven. And Stamford, and Hartford, and— Yknow what? Let’s just toss the whole state into the Sound. For real, traffic is the WORST here and I’m so sorry that y’all gotta live like that. 3/10

Delaware: I cannot believe this is considered a state. There’s no difference between Delaware and Maryland/Pennsylvania. 1/10 should not be a state

Florida: “the only hills in Florida are the highway ramps and the Matterhorn!” —the shuttle driver at Disney World. He was right. Shit is flat as fuck here. And hot. And humid. The Gulf Coast is nice? But tbh it’s just all very touristy which is kind of a bummer. 5/10

Georgia: ...I can’t with the humidity or thinly veiled racism. But y’all got nice peaches! Also Black Panther filmed there so thank you for blessing us with that. 6/10 for fruits

Hawaii: okay pineapple farms are cool. Tbh I just feel really bad for how much mainlander/tourist bs all the islanders put up with. Ik price of living is v high and keeps going up. That said I did love Hawaii... although I was stung by a jellyfish. Hate those little bastards. 8/10 for wonderful people and nature

Idaho: as an Oregonian I’m required to also say fuck Idaho 😝 you da hoes. Okay for real tho southern Idaho has become v white white and kinda scary tbh. The northern part of the state is pretty chill tho. Also Oreida kettle chips are partly made in Idaho so I gotta give you half credit for that. 4/10

Illinois: at least you’re not Indiana. 4/10.

Indiana: I never want to step foot in Gary, Indiana again in my life. (Passed a Mack truck hauling a race car to Indy 500 though so that was cool.) 2/10

Iowa: I almost moved here. I’m so glad I didn’t. Why are the Quad Cities actually a group of five towns? I hate that. Also the roads were all cement, felt like driving on a sidewalk. Was also interesting because the second we got out of the city proper, it was just... corn fields everywhere. 2/10 y’all raising children of the corn.

Kentucky: I really don’t have anything to say about Kentucky. I thought the trees were pretty? 5/10 yeah idk

Maine: my relative has totaled two cars by hitting moose in Maine. Maine scares me. Or rather, the moose do. Also the lobster roll hype is real. And the coast truly is beautiful. 8/10 but an extra point for the moose bc I hate that relative so 9/10

Maryland: oh god Baltimore. Also I’m blaming you for the DC traffic because it’s on the land you gifted them. 3/10

Massachusetts: Patriots fans are the worst NFL fans (the racism is real, especially after fans burned the jerseys of Black players who knelt for the anthem). Liking Dunkin’ Donuts is not a personality trait. The North End in Boston is truly the best place to get pizza in the entire country. Western Mass is not the same state. And the Cape Cod bridges give me nightmares. 5/10 but cause I had to pay taxes two years and it really is Taxachusetts, knocking it down to 4/10

Michigan: it’s a lot bigger than I initially thought. 5/10

Minnesota: it’s Canada but in the US. Pretty driving through the southern part. Cops suck tho. 5/10

Montana: okay Montana is downright gorgeous. (Except Billings. Sorry, Billings.) I must include a photo. I wanna get a cabin here and just exist. 8/10

New Hampshire: can’t decide if it hates Massachusetts or wants to be Massachusetts. All it knows is that it’s better than Vermont. Which... y’know, valid. (If you wanna see NH culture watch North Woods Law tbh). 4/10

New Jersey: why are there so many goddamn highways in this state? Also there are more places to weekend trip than the Shore or the Poconos. Although you do have people pump gas for you just like Oregon, so... that’s valid. Things my friends have added: Newark airport is cursed (valid), the jughandles are nightmares (true), pork roll/Taylor Ham is good and so are bagels and New Jersey pizza (allergic so idk), and everyone is split on whether the shore is actually decent or not 😂 I give it a 3.5/10 out of spite

New York: NYC is fun, Upstate is MASSIVE but really beautiful. Long Island is... yeah I don’t have anything nice to say about Long Island. 8/10 For NYC, 6/10 for Upstate, -2/10 for Long Island, gives us an average of 6/10

North Carolina: very good peaches. Isn’t South Carolina. Keep it up👍🏽 6/10

Ohio: I already told y’all how I feel about this flat ass boring state. I feel no need to slander it any more lmao. 3/10

Oregon: she flies with her own wings, mi amor🥰 to list all the reasons I like Oregon (and the issues too bc it ain’t perfect), I would need a whole other post. I’ll just leave you with this picture I took of Mt. Hood, the queen of our Cascades. 11/10

Pennsylvania: so apparently PN is three states hiding in a trench coat like NY. There’s upstate, philly and Pittsburg. Personally I think they’re just trying too hard and wanna get the same recognition as NY. Meh. 5/10

Rhode Island: THIS FUCKIN SHAM OF A STATE Just merge it with Connecticut and be done with it!! It’s tiny. Providence sucks. There’s nothing unique about this state that you can’t find in Southern Mass (except MA has cheaper taxes so y’all come to work and shop in MA anyways smh). Also the fingers are really annoying to drive down to get to some beach areas haha. 2/10 you’re barely better than Delaware.

South Carolina: my Black father was invited to a party celebrating General Robert E Lee’s birthday. So... 0/10

South Dakota: very gorgeous, didn’t realize the Missouri River went this far west, but VERY LARGE. I mean it looks big on a map but then you get there and... yeah. No speed limit on highways is a great time though. And the Badlands have mountain goats! 6/10 bc while pretty, living there seems really hard. (Picture is me in the Badlands).

Texas: gave us Juneteenth and Beyoncé and JJ Watts. Thank you Texas. But is very big, got independence from Mexico to keep slavery (yikes), is like 97% private land (yikes) and is like the second or third largest state. Very big. That said, everyone I’ve ever met from Texas is lovely. 6/10.

Utah: Other than Idaho, this is the whitest state I’ve been to. Or it feels that way. Like a, the people crossed to the other side of the street and held their bags because I’m brown, state. And I don’t ski so I can’t even say that’s a good thing (I fell off the ski lift the one time I went, long story). Yeah 0/10.

Vermont: wants to be New Hampshire or Canada and can’t decide which. So it’s just kinda there. Pretty hills though. 3/10

Virginia: let’s be real we all forget that Virginia exists west of Richmond. Nova is a beauracratic and traffic nightmare and half our neighbors had to pass security clearance checks. Hampton Roads and beach area is a tourist and mosquito nightmare. But there were dolphins and I made snowmen on the beach. Good times. 6.7/10

Washington: again, legally required as an Oregon resident to say fuck Washington because it’s all your fault we now are getting a toll on the I-5 border. But you’re better than California. And the Sound is really cool for fishing, love Wicked Tuna. And the fish market. Best salmon I’ve had. Eastern Washington... y’all got Spokane but the rest is kinda sparse. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 8/10

Wisconsin: cheese is actually good. Again, pretty state, much larger than I initially thought. 7/10

Wyoming: this was the ONLY STATE I lost cell service in when diriving cross country. Kinda surprised it wasn’t Montana, but no, it was Wyoming. Views are gorgeous though so I was distracted either way. 4/10

Thank you for joining me on this cross-country edition of Tea Time with Hawk. Please respond with any reactions, corrections, addendums about any and all of the states mentioned. And thank you for taking part in this wholesome Clone Wars fandom discourse with me 🥰💕

idk if you watched this recent interview with the guys at siriusxm (it's on 'ohio clique' s yt channel), but there was a question about what's the weirdest thing a fan has said to you and josh said that the most common thing is people yelling ily and that he thinks that they don't really think it through when they say it, because 'they don't even know' him (his words) and that they actually mean 'i respect you'. he said 'love is putting someone else's needs before yours. i don't think (1/2)

they’re ready to put my needs before theirs’ or smth like that (watch the interview). and that actually saddened me a little bit. i’m usually not one to pick on little things, but that was pretty, i’d say, disrecpectful towards the fans. like, ik he doesn’t mean it in a bad way and i understand him, but after everything we’ve been through with them and THEY’ve been with US too, he just says ‘you’ ve never met me. you don’t know what i’m like first thing in the morning’. yeah, okay, because (2/3)  

who am i to tell you that i love you when i’ve never even met you and idk what you’re like in the morning or whatever. it’s pretty ignorant and disrecpectful to say such thing, because he (and tyler too) has completely conciously let the fans on a more personal than just respecting him and liking his music level. i get that we only know him to the point he’s let us know him, but still. in dark times, when a lot of the fans have found it hard to live for themselves, they’ve stayed alive (¾)

just for josh and tyler (i’ve been through such a period too). like, you shouldn’t live for other people, but sometimes when it’s hard to do it for yourself, it’s okay to stay alive for someone else, for a little bit, until you can do it for yourself. and him saying that kinda felt like he was trying to distance himself and say that we don’t really have the right to tell him that we love him. yeah, sure, who am i to say that i love the person who’s helped me stay alive and keep fighting? (4/5)

i understand him, but it just kinda sucks that he feels that way. like, it’s a different type of love, from fans to celebrities - it’s not romantic or sibling love or whatever other love but it’s still a type of love, just a different one. if we follow his logic, they’ve said they love us multiple times, but they’ve never met most of us, they don’t know what we’re like first thing in the morning, so how can they say that they love us, right? so do they even mean it? josh said that he (5/6)

doesn’t think that we think it through when we say we love him but i’m pretty sure he didn’t think HIS ANSWER through. he knows on what emotional level the fans connect with them and their music and he thinks we just ‘respect’ him? i respect BEYONCE because she’s one of the greatest vocalists musicians and entertainers of the past few decades but i don’t love her, i don’t connect with her on an emotional level. and josh thinks that’s how we feel towards HIM too, that we just 'respect’ him? (6/6)

i understand where you’re coming from and what you mean and i do agree with you to a certain extent - do keep in mind that they usually aren’t briefed on what questions they’ll get in interviews (at least i don’t think so) and once you started answering you gotta roll with it, ygm? so maybe he started saying it and then realised that wasn’t exactly what he meant but still went on elaborating, you know?  (i’m sorry, i haven’t been able to watch the interview, i haven’t watched videos at all lately) but then again i’m not in his head so i can’t tell you much more than that apart that i udnerstand how you feel as well because even though we might not know him personally (and probably never will), we love him in a way that’s different than any type of love we get to encounter in our daily life (or even irl life!) because this is a thankful love. we love him and ty because they’ve helped us through so much and told us that it’s okay to feel a certain way and that we’re not alone. also, an important thing is that they are relatively new (by that, i mean compared to bren or gerard who have been in the industry for years) and are still clumsy around us or even have difficulty imagining how much of an impact they’ve made, how many of us there are. i don’t think he meant that in a disrespectful way, just that he doesn’t want us to idolise him or idealise him because he has parts of him that aren’t all that perfect at all and that maybe we wouldn’t love him the way we do if we knew him on a more personal level, yknow? and about the fact that they say they love us, i think they mean it, but i think they love us as a community. like you said, they don’t know what we’re like first thing in the morning either and some people who call themselves fans could be awfully racist or homophobic people and they wouldn’t love those people, right? so i think they mean as the clique, a community that came together thanks to them. they mean it.
