#me and javi smooching too im just a lil guy

[clonecaptains]

Whenever I see people write tyler as being from Texas I think "This is incorrect, ask Taylor 😤"

I know glen is from Texas but not my boy tyler nuh uh 😤, though it feels like most writers just make every southern character from Texas like—as a southerner myself (georgia/florida) I'm like 🙄

This is not meant to disparage anyone, write what you want. Just a jest and a mini vent ❤

omg anon ily im giving you a big cheek smooch LGKJSLG IM DYING AT THIS ASSOCIATION !!!!!!!!!!! im so honored you associate him w/ me lsjkglskgj

but no like. ive said before but seeing twisters IN arkansas was truly an experience!! ive seen it 3x in AR and another time w/ my bff in idaho and like,,,, seeing it in arkansas was so funny alkgjksgl and not at all the same as it was in idaho LOL

seeing it here at home - eveRY TIME that javi says the wranglers were from arkansas - you could hear like whispers and then some WHOOP WHOOP kinda things in the crowd skskks EVERY TIME

and hearing tyler blast the song "arkansas" by chris stapleton? part of me came ALIVE. some of the lyrics in that song you'd only get if you were local and i get all the refs and it makes me SO HAPPY. i could go on and on about that song alone.

youre getting so much more than you asked for on this anon cuz im all excited now LOL like the town 'russellville' is on their van - and i know right where that is. ive been there. it's like an hour from me!!

tyler specifically just FELT arkansan. everyone i know who is from here that saw it agrees and it's so hard to explain. and while yes glen IS a texan - ur exactly right - not every southern character is texan!! there are distinctions!! i'd LOVE to talk to glen about this. about playing an arkansas boy <3 and tell him how much it meant to me

also im sure ive said this before but there was a guy i had a huge crush on in school and tyler sounds just like him. when tyler was like "hi kate :)" i was like algkjlKGJSHKJSGHKJ cuz it reminded me so much of that guy.

i know im holding onto tyler being an arkansas boy SO TIGHT because arkansas NEVER gets any rep. esp not good rep. we are SO MUCH MORE than racist redneck stereotypes!!!!!!!!! that gets so old. and the wrangler crew being all different types of people was good to see too! there are in fact different types of people here!!!

it makes me stupid emotional how much it means to me to have a character that everyone LOVES and he's from MY STATE!!!! MY HOME!!!!

on the way home from the movie the first time i saw it, my cousin and i blasted country music and we were so amped up i felt like i do on the fourth of july LOL it's a tangible thing for us arkansans and also just a thing for the south too!!

and also - maybe it's just me but i like to be picky about details of where characters are from!!! they did NOT hide that he was from arkansas. i guess it might be a detail to miss but? they mention arkansas a few times and kate mentions "u of a" aka the university of arkansas, and tyler has arkansas plates on that truck!!

at the end of the day if you write him from texas then it's a harmless mistake but it takes me out of the fic right away algkkslg

this is so cute anon thank you for letting me go on this lil tangent sklgjslg
