I’m realizing I never shared these doodles from April lol. Just Alfred/ USA and some of the undeniably Appalachian states being Jonah/ West Virginia, Maisie/ North Carolina, Betsy/ Tennessee, & Roy/ Kentucky mostly circa early 1800s. Early frontier and wars with indigenous nations, Alfred spent a lot of time with these states. I’ll try to keep everything brief cause lol I do have a lot of Maisie-specific lore that can be better expanded upon another time, but I wanna share them cause why not

Alfred went from being this grumpy New Englander to being a bit more lighthearted and more like the funny charming Alfred of today, and a lot for that happened cause he spent so much time with these states especially Maisie/ North Carolina who’s quite friendly, very confident in herself and isn’t afraid to speak her mind or share a couple of jokes. Alfred doesn’t like Maisie at first cause he thinks she’s uncouth and insane. Maisie thinks Alfred is an uptight little bitch. But Alfred and Maisie eventually develop feelings for one another and Maisie becomes his first love. However, Alfred and also Maisie are extremely stubborn and neither are afraid of confrontation- this eventually leads to the breakdown of the relationship.

Alfred also from spending time with all of them learns a lot of new musical styles and actually it brings him closer with many southern states that aren’t in Appalachia and western ones as he expands. This is where he begins becoming less of a New Englander and slowly learns to accept new ways of let’s say being American so he begins to grow into the national rep.

Hm ok so some of this I’ll explain more when I work on my revolution arc- but the short version is many of the east coast states are slightly older than Alfred. And they barely agreed to put Alfred in charge especially cause he’s very aggressively a New Englander. So southern states especially aren’t his biggest fan and are rather hesitant.

Jonah/ West Virginia not being a state for much of the early 1800s yet existing as a representative of then his older brother Rich/ Virginia’s back country led to him develop a bit of a chip on his shoulder. And he sees Alfred as an outsider so he doesn’t particularly like him.

States like Betsy/ Tennessee & Roy/ Kentucky are super young during the early 1800s so not much to say about them. Actually TBH I don’t have much information for either Betsy or Roy other than Betsy is a Melungeon & plays the mandolin and is very musically gifted. Roy plays the banjo. I think Jonah plays the fiddle and Maisie plays the guitar.

I am finally introducing one of my favorite girls- West Virginia !!!

Her human name is Pearl Elizabeth Madison, and she's physically 21 years old. She's the 27th oldest state, and celebrates her birthday on June 20th.

Pearl is overall a very fun and pleasant person to be around. She's friendly, diligent, cheerful, hardworking, kind, polite, sociable, neighborly, loyal, very passionate, fun loving, adventurous, thrill seeking, helpful and proud. She's a naturally very outdoorsy and active person with a deep love of everything nature related, and she's insanely passionate, putting her entire heart and soul into everything she does. She's the type of person to carry food with her wherever she goes just so she can share it with others. She's very community-oriented, a big people person and the very definition of the perfect neighbor. She's the first to speak up for others, or against something she doesn't think is fair- and she's huge on fairness and good sportsmanship. Some more fun facts about her are:

She's only a mere 5'1, or 155 cm in height. She's one of the shortest states- specifically, the third shortest state.

She has roughly 3a type hair.

She is the younger sister to Virginia, and older sister to Kentucky.

Outside of her Indigenous languages, she speaks fluent English and Spanish.

She is a huge fan of playing music, and just music in general. She's very skilled at playing the fiddle, appalachian dulcimer, mandolin and banjo, as well as the guitar. She's also a fairly good singer, and has written a few small songs of her own. She attends music festivals whenever they occur, and especially loves folk music, bluegrass music, country music and indie music.

She's always finding something to do and always keeping busy.

She holds a very deep respect for manual laborers, like miners. She's done quite a lot of manual labor herself over her life.

She's a naturally outdoorsy and active person. She has been exploring and adventuring ever since she was a young girl, and she knows her way around the outdoors She's also a fairly skilled survivalist.

She is very good in a crisis, having experience in survival, getting around the outdoors, working with her hands, growing food and more.

She is a very good shot.

She has an appalachian accent.

She keeps snacks and such stowed away everywhere. She has big pantries at all of her houses, and frequently bakes or cooks more than she can even eat just so she can give the extras to neighbors or local food pantries.

She is a very hard worker. She's very skilled with her hands and is always very thorough with any task she's given. She's even quite good with back-breaking labor, which has made her one of the physically stronger states.

She's a bit of an adrenaline junkie at times, indulging in everything from mountain climbing, white water rafting and skydiving.

She's surprisingly very religious, but hardly ever brings it up. She goes to church pretty much every sunday.

She is super helpful and more than happy to have anyone's back for anything.

She has quite a few gardens scattered across her houses and likes to grow some of her own food, especially ramps, herbs and other vegetables.

She usually has a bit of dirt on her somewhere.

Her likes include: Music, folk music, bluegrass music, country music, indie music, playing music, the outdoors, being outside, hotdogs, coleslaw, pepperoni rolls, apples, apple pie, hunting, cooking, baking, catching fireflies, hiking, camping, mountain climbing, whitewater rafting, running, swimming, gardening, farming, rainy days, Mothman, tough jobs, mountains, forests, waterfalls, pearls, pearl jewelry, being active

[objection-zero]

California:

- The leading state is GDP and population, she's an absolute powerhouse.

- Very sunny and happy, always got a bright air about her.

- When she puts clothes on, they shrink to be very revealing. But the states just perceive the regular clothes she put on. She could put on a suit and tie and it would turn into basically nothing on her. Idk why

Minnesota:

- Always shopping, full on girly girl

- You can usually find her sunbathing or by a lake too.

- She's just a girl!

Oregon:

- As a past resident of Orgeon, I have enough credibility to say this man is a bitch.

- He pretends to hate California and Washington, but in reality he's very close with them, and just gets overwhelmed by them.

- He's a big hiker

Kansas:

- My second favorite state design

- After the Wizard of Oz came out, she got sick of all the jokes about her name and started going by Dee-Dee instead.

- Owns a sunflower farm and will often gift bouquets to the other states.

West Virginia:

- The laziest man to ever live.

- Everything is a mess in his house, but he does care enough to clean it.

- He's the nicest one of all the states though.

- Virginia greatly dislikes him but he doesn't mind her.

Nevada:

- He makes a living off of scamming people so he's naturally very suave and handsome.

- The second you mention anything alien around him he goes off the rails, with his hair all messy and clearly unstable.

- He was probably experimented on at some point.

Nebraska:

- I don't have much to say about Nebraska. I don't think anyone has a lot to say about Nebraska.

- He's really funny though. He has the best sense of humor.

Colorado:

- The chillest state in the union, he's definitely a stoner.

- Has OCD in my mind, used to be crazy about Mining but has learnt to chill out. He's very cool in my opinion.

North Dakota:

- Tends to wander off on adventures without really telling anyone.

- He gets lost very easily.

South Dakota:

- Fears disappointing people a lot. He's a big people pleaser.

- Cries a lot.

- The Dakotas are rarely seen without the other. They're truly inseparable.

Check reblogs for the other states!

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!

VA to KY, sometime during the 1931-1932 Harlan County War: we have evidence that you plotted and/or helped to plot another coal strike in Harlan counties.

KY: well, if the federal government treated people the same way it treated a rich man's private property than this entire debacle would be nothing more than a whisper of a memory.

VA: be that as it may -

WV: *slams door to interrogation room open* IM HERE im here oh God am I late did I miss it?

VA:

KY:

VA: WV, wtf are you wearing?

KY: I didn't know your baby brother was a sympathizer to our cause

VA: hes not. He's confused. WV, what on earth are you wearing?

WV: you said we were going to imitate him!

VA: ...

VA: I said intimidate him

WV: ...

VA: okay get out now

The Beginning of the End

The beginning of the French & Indian War (North American Theatre of the Seven Years' War) ft Rich/Virginia, Jonah/West Virginia, & Charles/New France (c. @gardenkeeper)

In my lore, Alfred was by no means the favored colony, and Arthur, while he sort of cared for his colonies in a way, he was just too busy to properly keep track of them (hence the salutary neglect). Alfred is a staunch New Englander, and quite frankly it makes sense. New England always had more of a bone to pick with the British Empire than the tidewater south ever did...so this brings me to Rich/Virginia...

I like to think of Rich as the favorite of Arthur's British colonies given that Rich is more influenced by this southern English gentry culture that I see Arthur being influenced by too. Alfred is more eastern English in nature.

Rich has this typical southern gentleman attitude. Takes life too easily, quite the flirt, and quite charming, but he can be quite entitled especially given the fact he's basically the favorite out of the 13 and Alfred. ANYWAYS, what's happening in this picture?:

For context, neither Alfred, or his states' "first war" was the American Revolution-- quite frankly I dislike this hc because it ignores wars with Indigenous nations, and also ignores some of the reasoning behind isolationism. Also it sometimes come off as if you do not view Indigenous nations as sovereign and separate entities of the settler-colonial project.

Essentially these colonies were getting dragged into European fights albeit it in the North American theatre ex: Queen Anne's War/War of Spanish Succession. Some were getting tired of being in these fights because they were not reaping the benefits aka gaining more land....this led to Rich thinking he could get away with anything. Right? Arthur wouldn't care much if Rich, and his half-brother Jonah, roughed up some French colony asshole, Charles and just took his land because after all, they all hate the French anyways. Or so that's what Rich thought....he would come to find out he overstepped with Arthur because he essentially forced Arthur's hand into the Seven Years' War by getting Arthur further embroiled into another conflict with Francis.

This would lead Arthur to become more harsh with his colonies (ex trying to enforce one english national culture rather than let them proliferate with different english + some other cultural backgrounds) and would lead him to more closely govern.

This was States x Aesthetics/Stereotypes I did. This is only the first batch, I’m working on the second one now.

None for these guys belong to me. They all belong to the wonderful people in @50statesofdestruction

I hope you all enjoy these and pls don’t steal or repost these in other places or here without my permission. After all, these are not my characters!

Now a small rant(?) about the journey to the finish product of the first set.

So, at the beginning I was only gonna do 7 (Colorado was the 7th) along with Illinois and Iowa we’re gonna have switched aesthetics. Due to reasonings those changed obviously.

Some of their outfit designs have a story, in the universe or in real life. WV is wearing an Ohio State versity jacket, it used to belong to Ohio himself, but he stole it or Ohio gave him it. Iowa’s story was, “he wears all black just so the corn image pops more” <- my reasoning •w•. Michigan’s was me mashing American fashion with the bright Harajuku (?spelling)/Japanese Fashion.

Anyway, I’ve ranted enough. •~•

This is about The United States of Chaos. First of all, will you ever post the Texas chapter? Second of all, will there be 25 boys and 25 girls? I’m asking this because I thought Iowa and Minnesota would be female but they’re male, which makes me think that there will be more boys than girls and I hope that doesn’t happen. Third of all, how do Kentucky Tennessee and Ohio feel about Louisiana. Fourth of all, does Ohio resent Kentucky and Tennessee for bullying her in her childhood? Please answer!

Hi!

Sorry this has taken forever to answer.

So, I’ve been really busy these last two years with life and stuff and I haven’t been really been able to or had the motivation to update. I’m hoping to start updating the United States of Chaos again by this weekend (providing I get my 30,000 pharmacology assignments and my care plan done). 

There are, I believe 25 boys and 25 girls. Though it might be 26-24. I would have to sit down and count them (I have a master list of OCs, thankfully). I just kind of selected genders on a whim (except Ohio because Ohio is my state and I always imagined her as female).

As for Louisiana, Ohio has some respect for Louisiana for her naval contributions in the War of 1812 (there were naval conflicts in both Ohio and Louisiana in that war). Also, Louisiana was Ohio’s first little sister, so she felt the need to take Louisiana under her wing when she was born. As for Kentucky and Tennessee, I haven’t really thought too much about how they would interact. I suppose they’re amicable with her and have the kinship of being fellow Southern states. Tennessee and Louisiana also share a love of country music (because of the Louisiana Hayride, which featured may famous artists like Hank Williams, Faron Young, etc.)

And finally, Ohio doesn’t resent Kentucky and Tennessee. They all kind of grew out of it, and Kentucky and Tennessee have made it up with her.

Anyway, I’m hoping to update soon.
