Some Historical Calivada- A.k.a. How It Started:

Some Historical Calivada- a.k.a. How it started:

(The rest under the cut; cw for some suggestive content)

Nevada’s most prominent settlement in the mid-1800s was Virginia City, founded as a silver boom town, and, as quoted in this Wikipedia article was considered the “sophisticated interior partner of San Francisco.”

Vs. How it’s going:

It was only a kiss, how did it end up like this??

You’ll never tell me this isn’t total ex behavior 😂

Vermont: *walks in covered in dirt & what looks to be blood, carrying a rifle*

Illinois: What the fu-

Wisconsin: Heya Vermont what’s goin’ on there?

Vermont: Huntin’ season. *calmly walks away*

Wisconsin: Oh. Okay!

*Massachusetts & Maine look at each other worriedly*

Maine: Uh guys… Vermont is a vegetarian.

somebody draw California and New York to this pls 🙏

this is so them

this started out as a serious doodle/warm up page and then i got silly with it :P

i was messing around with ohios state animal/bird to see which one fit better and once i thought of regular show for the cardinal i had to draw it

I'm currently in rendering hell right now as I'm finishing up some wttt Vermont doodles, and so in the mean time Ima take a break and share some of my head canons for Vermont - so here we gooo!

Vermont has a very obvious farmer's tan. No matter how much sunscreen he puts on, poor VT gets assaulted by the sun no matter what.

Vermont, Maine, Colorado, and Alaska go camping together every year. These states specifically bc of the average wilderness experience most people in said places end up having. Alaska tolerates these guys the most out of the lower 48, and VT is also sort of reclusive and quiet so Alaska and Vermont are buds.

VT skis and Colorado snowboards, they both like to hit the mountains & trails every year together

Vermont has tattoos! He's got maple leaves, a hermit thrush (VT's state bird), just a lot of nature related ink.

Vermont doesn't own a car, he has a motorcycle.

His aesthetic is along the lines of cryptidcore, goblincore, overall a very green sort of grunge.

He can speak French (due to him bordering Quebec, and VT was populated by a lot of French soldiers/immigrants during 1600-1900s.)

Louisiana and Vermont would probably be quite good friends. I can imagine Loui saying something in his lovely Louisiana French dialect, and Vermont being one of the few states that understands him and can respond in kind.

Honestly I feel like most Mideast/Southeast states would get along pretty well with VT even if he is pretty antisocial at times. He has a similar folksy vibe that fits well. (historically, VT was built by "lower class" immigrants working hard blue collar jobs. Lot's of the same Scottish and Irish influence as most Northeast states. Eventually, they trickled down south through places like Appalachia as time went on.)

Vermont is a townie at heart, not having very big cities and a smaller population, he definitely is a vocal workers rights activist and loudly opposes classism and loves himself a union strike if needed.

Vermont and New Hampshire may have started out hating each other, having a sort of rivalry. After time went on, and maybe due to living in the Statehouse right next door, or maybe even years prior, these two states really didn't have that much contempt for each other as one might seem. They mainly "hate" each other as a bit now, finding it funny. They are probably married for tax purposes (VT loves NH lack of sales tax lol).

Vermont is the Statehouse's resident veterinarian, being very good with pretty much any animal under the sun native to his state or not.

He also has a green thumb and loves gardening.

VT has a pet Raccoon named Champ (after the famous lake monster)

Vermont is a vegetarian, despite being a state with a lot of hunters. He'd do it for survival, but only as a last resort. To counter that, I'd say he is good with a bow and arrow (a reference to bow season).

This fella can play a lot of instruments. He especially likes the banjo bc why not?

Okay that's MORE than enough for now, and this was mainly for me to just yell into the void and keep for reference. I just want more wttt VT content bc he could be such a fun character! Sorry I tricked you into reading my Vermont propaganda

Just want to come on here and say, I’m a multi shipper and love to see all the different dynamics of the wttt states, but I always go back to Texas/California

And the main reason I ship TexaCali so hard is because of something my best friend who’s from Texas once said… AND I QUOTE:

“Y’know I think most of the problematic Texans would be a lot less… themselves if they got with an anti-capitalist twink just ONCE in their life. Idk try it out, dress ‘em up as a cowboy for all I care. I truly believe it would mellow a lot of them out.”

and I just think that’s damn beautiful.
