#wttt og 13

[sleepdeprivedsimp234]

not totally insane but the OG13 reacting to Massachusetts breaking crates of tea open and throwing them into the harbor

and watching as he accidentally threw someone into the water, thinking it was tea

(quite possibly might’ve been one of the states, but who knows?)

(not forcing!!)

Ah yes I see you have risen from the dead :) /lhj

New Hampshire: honestly, he wasn’t too phased by it, seeing as he had overheard Mass talking about doing it. He wasn’t expecting Mass to toss someone overboard accidentally. On purpose? Sure yeah that’s a Massachusetts thing to do. On accident? "HEY WHO DRUGGED MASSHOLE’S DRINK-"

Rhode Island: Mans was too busy planning to burn the Gaspee, but when he heard what Mass did, he was so damn proud of him… yes this includes the tossing someone overboard too.

Connecticut: Like NH, he already knew what Mass was planning, but he, like Virginia, "wasn’t too happy about it". But somewhere, deep down inside him, cried happy tears.

New York: Mass refuses to part with this kid for any reason, so NY went with him. Happily too. He got to climb stuff and throw other stuff at Redcoats. This includes throwing boxes and rocks at anyone that got too close to Mass. They were proud of each other.

New Jersey: Mans watched the whole thing from afar and definitely did not cry happy tears due to how proud he was. He felt even more proud seeing his twin throw a soldier overboard (even after Mass told him it was accidental). He also recorded the whole thing in his notebook that he still has.

Penn: there has never been a moment when Penn was more proud than this one. He was so damn proud of his lovely boyfriend <3 After Mass tells him that he threw a soldier overboard thinking it was a crate of tea, Penn just laughed (yes he did) and said "Guess he was such a piece of sh*t he looked like the crates!"

Delaware: as much as he wanted to be a little upset, he couldn’t. It was too amazing to see. Even better seeing Brits get tossed overboard.

Maryland: Now- since he’s a mother hen, they didn’t take the time to appreciate that the whole thing happened, he was too busy checking the two dumbasses (Mass and especially York) over for injuries and scolding them on their reckless actions. Mass got the worse of the scoldings. NY was too baby for Mary to want to yell at.

Virginia: he went to go take a nap. Bro face-palmed himself so hard that he knocked himself out. Deep down tho, he was hella proud.

North and South Carolina: you bet your sweet ass they were laughing their own asses off watching the whole thing.

Georgia: mans was too eepy to watch it happen, but both Mass and NY got a pat on the back from Geo and a "good job!". Geo still thinks that the glare Mary gave him was worth it lmao.

hcs?? anyone?

-will put on loads of sunscreen on his face and yet still get burnt. His face will literally be white with sunscreen and yet he’ll be red at the end of the day. has to buy a new sunscreen bottle every 3-5 days.

-knows how to ride a horse, as they had to travel on them in the 16-18 hundreds. might (will) steal the southerners horses.

- Massachusetts and New York in the dynamic of : “You know I’m not your father, right?” “I know. But do you?” (my age hcs don’t make any sense)

-had his license revoked because of road rage and ramming it into someone on purpose. Usually either forces someone to drive him or just teleports. (option 3: steal a golf cart, they aren’t real cars, or so he says.)

-will get into a very competitive match of baseball against Mass, usually (always) leading to a huge brawl between them.

MA: “I taught you how to catch! You can only play because of me!”

NY: “Sure, but somehow I still play better than you, old man!”

-builds legos. mostly from the botanical collection though (will build some with CA if they are matching)

-pushing NY/LA/FL/TX/CA (pls I need to see more fics of this I beg of you *nf*)

Rants about why I like characters

California (WTTT): -> "Unlike people, these can't leave me" -> California is such a mood -> I could see myself fighting with him on so many different points but at the end I'd give him a pat on the back and tell him that while I disagree with him it wasn't that bad to talk to him and I'd do it again

Michigan (WTTT): -> "Divorced Parents? Vernors." -> I feel like people just look at him on the surface level of hating Ohio, and while that does make up a lot of his personality, he's just so interesting -> I like Vernors

Sealand (Hetalia): -> He tries so hard to be noticed and everything, it's so cute -> I just want to throw him against a wall, but not in a harmful way, in a cuteness aggression where I don't want to hurt him but he gives me the feeling of "Awww!!!" every time I look at him

Italy (Hetalia): -> I'm going to be honest, at first he really annoyed me -> Once I looked past the "He's kinda annoying" part, he was an interesting character and I started to like him for that -> I have so many rants about this man, but tonight is not the night

France (Hetalia) -> Character number two on "characters that either annoyed me or I didn't like at first" -> I don't really have much explanation for why he's a character that I like so much, I just do and that's all I need to say Texas (WTTT): -> Okay, he's kinda a dick, but to be honest I don't mind it that much anymore -> When I started watching WTTT I hated him (Surprise, character three on that list) but I explored him more as a character, and it made him feel more complete in a way -> "Then why can't my dad love me?"

The North East (WTTT): -> I'm generalizing all of them, bc they are all done with your shit and it's a mood -> Constantly tired, hungry, and not sleeping -> All of the North East (except for Vermont and Maine bc they later became states) are old as fuck, they're like the grandfathers of the WTTT -> You cannot tell me one of the newer states, or just one that isn't an og 13 has called the one of the North East states "Gramps", "Oldie", "Dad", "Oldie Locks" or anything along those lines

[almost-correct-quotes]

okay okay okay

hear me out:

member(s) of the og 13 who watched gov grow up having a "gov's baby photos" scrapbook but it's just continental congress

they're captioned like "baby's first suit <3" on a very old-school, grainy photo of a very young continental congress smiling blankly at the camera, head tilted, practically swimming in an oversized black suit jacket (look, the og 13 are fighters, not tailors, they work with what they have) and one of rhode island's button-ups (he absolutely detests that gov outgrew wearing his clothes so quickly, he's a forefather goddamn it)

florida finds it and doesn't let it go for months

"aww, gov, you were so cute. what happened?"

(inspired by continental congress's one appearance and florida's comment that gov has four dads)

[fandomgeeknerd]

i've been looking up rare coins and dollars today so here's some hcs bc connection and for some reason it fueled the wttt hypiderfixation

sorry if its inaccurate

Mass has a Brasher Doubloon he doesn't know what year but he knows its worth a lot to people and but if he's honest whatever it's worth he wouldn't give it away and its proudly in a safe small display case in his actual home not at the statehouse Nevada of course has a Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle coin someone back in the day gambled it away and it fell into his hands he never really looked into it and doesn't even know its rare but since someone gambled it he knows it's probably worth a lot and today its still in a long forgotten piggy bank in the statehouse District has a rare coin collection it sounds pretty on par for the American capital and the gem in his eyes is the 1932-D Washington Quarter bc 1932 marked the first year that George Washington appeared on the quarter, he knows how much its worth but will never sell it its currently in his actual home in Washington DC in a special room he has for rare money and coins texas has a Peace Dollar to him it has no monetary value but sentimental value texas once had an old human friend back in the day that gave him the Peace Dollar to always remember to be kind and peaceful before that human friend died and sadly it lays forgotten in texas's actual home closet...in this day and age lets hope he finds it again almost every one of the og 13 has a 1652 New England Shilling back then they all thought it looked cool ig it was money but now when they look back at that coin it reminds them of good and bad depending on who you ask tbh

The Ultimatum

What caused the OG13 to pull away.

———————————————————————

It was in 1814, January to be specific, when the Original 13 States were summoned by the President. No other State, just the thirteen of them.

They enter the meeting room, the one saved for meetings between them and the President. Though, they notice, Adam and Robin’s seats are suspiciously empty. Those seats are never empty. They’re always involved in meetings with the Presidents.

Something’s wrong.

Very wrong.

But, that’s probably why they’re here, so they swallow their concern and take their seats.

President Madison clears his throat, and lifts his papers.

“My fellow Congressmen, my fellow Senators, my fellow Representatives, and the Supreme Court have been engaged in rigorous discussion these last few years.” he says, “And we have agreed it is in the Nation’s best interest that you refrain from interacting with Continental Congress and Executive Assistant outside of business.”

You could hear a pin drip in the silence that ensued.

“I’m sorry, President Madison,” Virginia said with a strained smile, “I’m afraid I might have misheard. Surely you’re not asking us to stop interacting with our children.”

“I’m not asking.” is the unwavering response, “Failure to comply will lead to…unpleasant consequences.”

“You can’t do anything to us that hasn’t been done before.” Delaware raises his brow, “What could you possibly do?”

“Congress and Assistant will be permanently terminated, and new Personifications will be formed in their place.”

The only way to ‘terminate’ a personification, especially a government…

Is to kill them.

“You’re humans.” Pennsylvania’s voice doesn’t shake, but his eyes are narrowed, “You can’t kill a personification. Nor can you form a new one.”

The President smiles.

A cold, cruel smile.

“You think no one’s figured out how in the last million years?” he asks, “The notes are hidden, yes, but there are ways to kill a Government Personification. Ways that have been documented, documents we have found.” he’s grinning now, “And, if those methods don’t work, we can simply lock them up. Keep them here and make them work until they drop dead from it. No sleep, no meals, only work– and dire consequences if they ever stop working.” Madison tilts his head, “I’ve heard that Personifications can take quite the beating; I wonder how much it would take to keep them down?”

There’s nothing they can say. Because they know: know how cruel humans are, know how greedy they are, know how far they’re willing to go– and they’re still so new. Maybe not in age, but as States. As people with power over the humans that live on their lands.

It won’t be for a few more decades that they learn they can cause their own natural disasters without affecting themselves, that they can influence the minds and opinions of their people without saying a word, that they learn they can say no.

So they agree.

They answer letters marked as business and avoid Ad– Congress and Rob– Assistant outside of meetings and nothing else. They vanish after meetings– though they do interact with their grandkids as best as they can, it’s hard when they’re still young– and call them by their…proper names.

Continental Congress. Executive Assistant.

Congress and Assistant.

They see the confusion, see it melt away into hurt, see it fade behind walls and locks and chains within burning green and stormy blue eyes.

They feel the worst sort of pain when they’re no longer called Pa or Papa or Pop or Uncle, and instead are summoned by their State Title.

The weekly letters end not long after that, gifts sent only on the gifting-sort of Holidays. The mail Postmaster brings always entails business, or the names of their newest grandchildren (even those stop eventually, and they’re left to figure it out from newspapers or the first meeting they attend)

They don’t learn about the Fire of Washington until weeks after it happened, when A–Congress attended a meeting with a bandaged throat, face and arm, with a dull look in his one visible eye as Ro– Assistant spoke for him.

…

The letters from the Civil War were the hardest to read, with blood and teardrops smeared on parchment and Congress’ elegant writing– the handwriting he had been so proud to master when he was a boy– devolving into frantic, desperate scratches on paper.

And when DC appears, when he tells them that Congress– their boy, their nephew, their son– couldn’t do it anymore…they assumed the worst.

They knew it had all been in vain. Even after Madison had long passed, the boy they were trying to protect still died. The girl they were trying to save from a broken mind left with a broken heart.

But in 2021, with the flurry and worry around DC’s condition, Gov appeared.

He seemed older than a new personification usually was, he looked far too familiar– though many hardly noticed at the time. With dull grey eyes belaying walls and locks and chains they had once seen in Congress’ eyes.

They learn– it takes too long, they should’ve seen it– that their boy never died.

He changed, they all had, but he hadn’t died and he’s back with them once again. He brings their girl with him, still such a spitfire with the determination of a bloodhound.

They decide the Ultimatum they were given had an expiration, one long since overdue.

They were going to get their kids back, even if they had to drag Madison out of Hell, just to kill him all over again to do so.

Delaware has beef with Virginia & Massachusetts solely bc they get all the oldest recognition Del wants so badly. Delaware was like the 7th or 8th to be established of the 13 colonies, firmly middle child, and when he was the first to become a state he was like "watch them overlook me now!!" and then they did. nothing changed. Ginny and Mass are still the eldest no matter what their statehood order is. sorry Del.

[abchavenforanon]

I'm such a huge history buff it's not even funny, but I feel like the wttt fandom needs to put the civil war and revolutionary war aside and maybe focus on OTHER wars. ESPECIALLY and i mean ESPECIALLY the Yankee-Pennamite Wars cause fucking christ I love talking about them

Some side context was that from 1769-1784 there were disputes between Connecticut and Pennsylvania over the wyoming valley—which caused three major wars between the two.

One of the funny things about it was that Connecticuts claim was on the other side of New York—clearly in what is now northern Pennsylvania and even expanded out into a piece of Ohio (not existent at the time) which had it touching Lake Erie.

Connecticut was labeled as Yankee—while Pennsylvania was labeled as Pennamite: hence the name Yankee-Pennamite Wars.

There were three. fucking. wars.

Yeah no I dont think they got over them wars,,, they probably still are pissed at eachother and sometimes the other og 13 bring it up to tease them lmaoo 😭😭

hehe I love getting history buffs in my inbox. that sounds so interesting- I didn't know any of that before! thanks for sharing :D

[hypertimesstuff]

Hi I’m back again w more ideas

So. I love WTTT and I love Statehumans. Thus I am putting them together

The Statehumans aren’t in contact w the WTTT characters at all. In fact, only the original 13 of both have ever met

This was voluntary.

The Statehumans were the ones who were “born” first. They’re the older siblings of each individual wttt og 13 counterparts. They all used to be v close when they were younger

Even as more states joined the Union, the Statehumans counterparts of them didn’t reevaluate themselves to them. The OG 13 WTTT characters weren’t aware of the other Statehumans counterparts either.

Around,, the 1930s, Statehuman Massachusetts and New York decided to break contact entirely w the WTTT counterparts. They made Gov swear to never talk about any of the Statehumans, ever. So, he didn’t.

Essentially, they all disappeared. The OG 13 WTTT counterparts were the only ones who were bothered by it, ofc. Gov never revealed what happened.

And then randomly, one day, Statehuman Mass shows up and chaos - as usual - happens

Can I please put in a request for fluffy OG 13 hc? Featuring France because he (they? She? Idk) helped them out?

EEEEEEE SORRY THIS TOOK SO LONG I WAS DOING A LOTTA STUFF- but yes I do have some fluffy OG13 hc’s :D

Del is the oldest and I’m lowkey really tempted to make NY the youngest cuz he just gives that vibe.

They all protect each other and are basically like one big family

You mess with one of them, you sic the other twelve on urself. 0/10, don’t recommend.

NY is cat, and Rhode is the feral raccoon. Every single OG13 member has a spray bottle for the both of them.

The NE members of the OG13 cuddle with the southern members if it’s cold

Something that happens a lot is: NY getting chased by one of the NE and hiding behind one of the southern members for protection (usually Georgia or Virginia cuz whoever he’s being chased by doesn’t want to pick a fight with either of those two).

[grxngyalt]

oooo i have a wttt rant/ramble for you

i think about the og 13 states in a hamilton-esque situation, even though i know it doesn’t really make sense, considering several main characters are from the same state

but DAMNIT i can’t stop thinking about it :’)))) (you could say that i think about it non-stop)

Ooh

[fullyamess]

I think that the more "wild land" a state has, the more feral it naturally is. Which means the Western states (all of them topping the list both in terms of percentage and actual size) are often holding onto civility by a rapidly fraying thread

Meanwhile, Illinois at 3% has consciously made the decision to tell you to fuck off and he wants you to know that

[emlovesstates]

Original 13 Tattoos and head cannons

Okay so maybe I have a favorite states and maybe they are the original 13 and maybe I’m a little biased because I live in an original 13 state.

———-

The original 13 have a tattoo that they all got together but it wasn’t easy to get the tattoo it was originally Massachusetts idea

I think it would be Betsy Ross flag if not the entire flag just like a star that they got together and the Northeast had to drag the Southern and Maryland into the tattoo shop

It symbolizes their everlasting mind

North east is definitely gotten many tattoos over the years

——-

Imagine us an original 13 state is arguing with one of the many younger states it isn’t an original State.

And the original 13 states just says” are you a star and a stripe”

And that’s how younger states lose most arguments of the original 13 because you can’t be creating a nation

Even if you tried

Also the original 13 are basically the fathers of the country

Basically if let’s just say Ohio and New York are fighting in New York says” Ohio did you beat the strongest army in the world as a tiny colony”

Ohio it’s just like.” No”

And then Ohio loses that argument

Is there some younger sisters that are the good ones and they never have to give the I created this country speech.

They never had to give it to Utah, Hawaii, most of the Midwest, Alaska Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Montana, Maine too

the south oh they’ve given it to the south way too many times

Especially Florida, Texas and Louisiana

Now most of the states have heard the speech from being in the room at the time it was given.

It’s a very long speech basically saying how none of them would be here if it wasn’t for the original 13 and a lot of countries wouldn’t exist if they didn’t do what they did.

Most of these head cannons were created with @atlas-427 I hope it’s Okay that I’m posting this
