(screenshot from @sleepdeprivedsimp234)

(note: when i say average i mean average male american)

according to my jank estimations and photoshop calculations, assuming the states have average proportions, and counting in for hair and the hat, alaska is roughly 2.3 heads taller than rhode island, or a 53 cm / 1'9" difference

(note: i don't think, in this screenshot, the characters are scaled up or down (noticeably) from ben's regular size)

if we're going to assume that, as the largest and smallest states, rhode island and alaska are on equal and opposite ends of average height (5'9"/175.3cm), this would make alaska 6'6"/201.8 cm and rhode island 4'8"/148.8 cm

checks out i think!

feel free to correct me if i made a mistake

tldr we have canon heights if you make some broad assumptions

IM OBSESSED WITH THESE THINGS OMG

LOOK AT THEMMM

(Left to right: California, New York, Montana, Tennessee, Rhode Island, Massachusetts)

[misery-has-no-company-now]

Montana: I know you think you’re tough, but you are fucking five feet tall!

Rhode Island: I AM FIVE FOOT TWO!!!

the only thing standing between me and a wttt as vines comp is the fact that i have negative idea on how to download videos or edit.

[alaskashigh]

i love how the wttt fandom is all going “yep, the cities are the states kids.” i see this everywhere and its great lol. (pushes my nyc/chicago, los angeles/dallas, and san fransisco/jacksonville thoughts towards you)

[kyistell]

Here have some Jersey, Rhode, and Del at the Table. Who knows what is happening, use your imagination, be ~creative~

[lunearobservatory]

Hi! I saw ur request thing and I got curious, could you draw Rhode Island? He's one of my favourite states and I wanna know how you see him :}

I will pay you with a duck and the country of Bolivia /lj

Random WTTT Headcanons

All the states have separate cities, but most of them are completely separate characters from their states. Texas' and NJ's wiring got a little crossed, causing Texas + Cities to appear as a system and NJ to tic from North and South trying to appear.

NJ tics under the table

The motor tic that shows up in "New Jersey Joins The Table" is specific to North and South trying to answer at the same time

NJ presents more as Central to keep North and South off his back

California is oh so incredibly lonely. Someone get this man a friend

Ben gives them a rough script to go off of

The only reason they go along with it is because he has threatened to make them do it. He went through with it once. It was not fun

California smells like smoke, oranges and the ocean

Florida is not illiterate. He is just very very dyslexic. Add to the fact that English isn't even his first language and it makes it almost impossible

He is the only one that can read his own notes (when physically written down)

When he writes things digitally, autocorrect gets most of his words but his grammar is absolutely atrocious

Some of the people live in the Statehouse, but most of them have other places they prefer to live at

Less of an hc I think, but Ben, Florida and California all live together

Ben has broad control of his whole universe and his characters, and more control over the character he plays himself. The actors who play some of the other characters have better control over those characters

Gov is one of the few who actually lives at the Statehouse

Every now and then Gov/Ben force the states to live in the Statehouse for two months "for content".

Gov didn't actually expect Hawaii to come to the Statehouse, which is why he asked for 50, not 51 rooms (an extra for Gov)

No one thought to ask Gov why he tried kicking RI out when he wasn't a state and could have lived in the garage fine

Ben has a small house nearby to keep an eye on them when they are all there

Hawaii is friends with New Zealand (not close, but they're still friends)

More to come (maybe)

i’m sure they’re feeling normally about the sport (hockey) right now

PA not pictured he’s currently having a moment(TM) offscreen

very long ramblings about hockey and wttt under the cut:

i have an ailment called “i keep thinking about how wttt characters would react to irl events*” which is basically the entire premise of the actual series itself but i still feel insane for being so obsessed with it so anyway here’s my ramblings

*that i am experiencing. in this case: hockey

i absolutely think all the hockey-watching states (which, in my head, are all the midwest states w/ nhl teams, all of the northeast states. except for VT, NH—and maybe RI?—who only watch it every so often, washington, and colorado) gave mass shit for his team (the bruins) getting knocked out of the first round by the FLORIDA PANTHERS (who BARELY got into the playoffs) after their literal record-breaking regular season and the insane fucking team they had. wash, minnesota, chicago/illinois, probably gave him the least shit for it, in that order, but there were def a few remarks about it. the only one who didnt say anything was probably colorado bc he was the defending champion and got knocked out first round by washington LMFAO. but the northeast was RUTHLESS. i’d like to think they gave him sooooo much shit for it he couldnt even show his face around in the statehouse (outside of meetings) until new jersey got knocked out 2nd round. even connie joined in despite repeated attempts by mass to disqualify him from even talking about the playoffs considering connecticut has not had an nhl team since 1997.

i should add new york got knocked out like literally the next day so he couldnt give mass shit for it as much but at least he didnt have a record-breaking team like the bruins !

anyway ❤️ new jersey is not shutting up about the fact the devils beat the rangers until next season’s playoffs start. he is bringing that shit up every time he reasonably can.

okay, now into who i think each hockey-watching state is rooting for/bandwagoning now. the current matchups right now are: in the west, we have the dallas stars versus the vegas golden knights (which i’m calling vgk for short), and in the east, we have the carolina hurricanes against the florida panthers.

i should note that they are all very happy the cup is staying in america (most people hate vgk but the american haters r at least happy they knocked the edmonton (canada) oilers out)

(LONG LIVE SUN BELT HOCKEY AND RAHHHHHHHH USA USA USA 🦅🦅🦅🦅)

massachusetts: - no one because he’s salty and hates everyone (leaning very slightly towards vgk because nevada , the personification, is better than the others)

new york: - same as massachusetts. hoping for the canes’ downfall (the carolina hurricanes knocked out the new york islanders first round too. yes, new york has/had two teams in the playoffs (islanders and rangers). new york has THREE total. rip buffalo ily guys)

new jersey: - very much actively hoping for the canes’ downfall (canes knocked out the devils), so much so he’s leaning very slightly panthers except he would never admit that

pennsylvania: - he’s currently climbing light poles in philly and taunting the government (gov? the actual government of philadelphia? who knows) just to feel something. (the philadelphia flyers are a bit of a dumspter fire and the pittsburgh penguins missed the playoffs for the first time in 16 years) he can also not talk as much shit about his fellow northeasterners and their teams as he’d like because of the shit he got/is getting for the penguins missing the playoffs.

ohio: - the panthers because 1) florida of the midwest and the actual florida have to stick together yknow 2) johnny hockey’s best friend is on the panthers

michigan: - the hurricanes because he’s not rooting for/bandwagoning the same team as ohio

chicago/illinois: - i dont even want to talk about this man/team fuck them

minnesota: - vgk because he’d be damned if he’s rooting for the stars (the minnesota wild got knocked out by the dallas stars)(and the admin of the mn wild twt account started up a little feud w the admin of the stars twt account)

washington: - the stars because. do i have it in me to explain this twitter bit. hmm… no. tl;dr: the vibes

colorado: - vgk because nevada is his buddy !!!!!

connecticut: - the canes to piss off the rest of his northeastern pals (and he is a little fond of them because the hartford whalers relocated to become the carolina hurricanes)

in my heart of hearts i want north carolina to be rooting for his team so bad and actually rhe canes have some LOUUDDD fans so i think he gets to be the first southern state to actually regularly watch his hockey team and know the game. florida, as always, still doesn’t know what the stanley cup is. texas could care less. nevada is a casual fan of his team i think but i think theyre rlly amped up abt vgk being in the playoffs rn.

thats all <3 if u actually read all of this , 1) why 2) thank you i love you. feel free to talk to be abt hockey (and how it relates to wttt, or not!!) anytime :3

Jumping out a window after this (not really)

I said this in a earlier post but can the UK please have an episode of wttt. It would be so chaotic! Just Massachusetts about to recreate the Boston Tea Party and Rhode Island getting ready for arson and New York about to throw hands. The rest of the thirteen colonies either trying to not start any fights, making bet’s on what will happen and getting ready to join Mass and RI with fighting the UK. Everyone else is hiding in a corner, already left, video taping the whole thing, and trying to join the soon to be fight as well. I think you can guess who I’m talking about.

[walkingtalkingcountries]

Shy as I am, I feel the aggressive need to headcanon dump. My personified states aren't even wttt but they're the same premise so it counts ig bhbhbhbhb

Utah has freckles on his shoulder in the form of the Beehive Star Cluster, which was designated a state symbol.

Delaware has partial facial paralysis affecting the left side of his face, it's been there for centuries by now

New Jersey's autistic and will ramble at you about flowers if he feels welcome to

Maryland's missing an arm and prefers not to use a prosthetic for it.

South Carolina has a really long scar representing Sherman's March to the Sea

New Hampshire has a collection of rocks & crystals and such, and they've had Rhode Island make a ring out of one of them (RI likes making jewelry) NH also has the floral pattern on their flag running down their arms. I found it a cool idea idk

Oregon has heterochromia, his green eye representing the movement for the State of Jefferson. he also has a beaver-shaped birthmark as a nod to the double-sided flag

Washington has a weird vendetta against umbrella usage. He just prefers to be rained on in the middle of the day and come home soaking wet. Most states find him weird, needless to say lol

Alaska can speak all of his official languages fluently

Hawai'i is a māhū- a third gender in Hawaiian culture. Goes by they/them pronouns.

California is trans ftm while Florida is the opposite

And this ramble is getting too long so imma stop it here lmao

mm. no art today ,.! i ate it.

in other words i simply did not finish it, er well i did but then i decided to color it which i didnt finish.

how 'bout. hrm i cant really think of a prompt. just tell me random state hcs, oddly specific ones like. allergies or something. or birthmarks, i dont see many characters in anything to have those, body types-- i dont know much about the other states as always, other than like, the state symbols and nicknames and flags

Brothers and Sailors!

Connecticut and Rhode Island-

As a HC Connie has Hemophilia which is why he’s not as active as the other states in meetings. The rest of the Northeast is protective of him because of it. Which is why in the NE sketch we don’t see him getting cussed out/cussing people out. They don’t want to hurt him. (He insists he’ll be fine though-)

During the colonial era, Connie hardly left his state unless with somebody else, and he begged Rhode to let him be a sailor and eventual pirate with him. Despite the danger and inevitable several non-permanent deaths, Connie ADORED the ocean and sailing, so much so that he continued doing so despite his condition until recently, when he became more directly involved in the politics of his land.

Anyway-

Yeah!

[doueverwonder]

I love the first continental congress video SO MUCH this thing is pure gold.

This video is entirely why I stand on the 13 being siblings, Virginia’s exasperation when it comes to Mass and RI, NC and SC bickering, Georgia getting kicked out cause he ain’t helping, Pennsylvania telling everyone to get comfortable but not *too* comfortable. My favorite interaction the whole video being:

Pennsylvania: he’s our government… for now

Gov: *no thoughts, head empty*

Maryland: He looks a bit blank, hon. He doin alright?

Pennsylvania: well he’s not really put together yet, he’s got a lot of potential but not much else going for him… like New Jersey

New Jersey: Fuck you.

North Carolina: full of potential but mostly empty and disappointing is also how I feel about continental breakfasts

South Carolina: that’d be a good name for him!

North Carolina: continental breakfast??

South Carolina: no you dummy, like continental… Congress or something.

Gov, most monotone voice you’ve ever heard: My name is Continental Congress :)

^ babes that’s how siblings talk to each other.

At last. Pirate Connecticut Content

As historically accurate as I could in this world because I’m a nerd with ADHD and I love Pirates

[muraae]

Bold of you all to forgot residential Dunkin’ grumps, Massachusetts

Now that it’s winter I think we all need to make peace with the fact that at least one of the Northeast states doesn’t own boots and exclusively wears sneakers when it’s snowing

My money is on Pennsylvania
