While you read to me from the riot act way on high, high / Clutching a crisp New Testament, breathing fire, fire / Will you save me the fake benevolence, I don't have time / I'm just too far gone for a-tellin', lost my pride,
I don't mind being lonely, so leave me alone
Oh, you're acting all holy / Me, I'm just full of holes
Holy- Frightened Rabbit
This song reminds me so much of their relationship, at least my interpretation of it.

Some of my HCs about Nevada and Utah:
-I see them being brothers-- as close to actual family as you can get in the wttt-verse.
-Utah was absolutely sheltered and coddled as a kid (baby state?) and basically molded into what his people wanted him to be. Nevada, in contrast, was neglected and shunned once he showed signs of being... different. He became kind of a scapegoat for kid!Utah's bad behaviors; with Utah's guardians blaming him for being a bad influence instead of "perfect" Utah.
-They've had their ups and downs over the years. In the past, it was mostly downs. Lately they've been working on healing their relationship.
-Religion, worldview, and overall lifestyle, of course, have tradionally the biggest sources of conflict for them. Since all of those are fundamentally super important things, it's been tough to overcome their differences.
-HOWEVER, they are both more alike than they care to admit. Utah has a wild, reckless side which Nevada can bring out and Nevada is a great uncle to Utah's kids. He's more than the Fun Uncle who lets the kids gamble in Battleship; he would literally kill/die for those kids. (more literally than Utah likes to admit)
-Family game night is one of the ways they're trying to build their relationship. Utah will threaten to ban Nevada but he never follows through, because he ultimately enjoys Nevada's presence.
-In summary, they're growing together. They're fundamentally different, but they're trying not to let their differences get in the way of getting along.
-When Wisky said there’s too much butter Iowa took it as a marriage proposal and said “I do” when Wisky said that all the butter is gone, Iowa asked for a divorce
-Virginia’s grandmother plays FarmVille and posts about it on Facebook (who is she? The Anglo-Saxon empire??)

ok and for the next one, know that I hc California as the tallest state, but like very skinny yk? I don’t think of the states heights in terms of sheer mass but more proportions.
