Summaries of everything under the cut! Recommend you read before voting :)
Home, home (T, for canon typical behaviour)
Greg’s apartment floor gives out, so he’s forced to stay at the Statehouse until he can move into new accommodations. He’s always been behind the scenes, but never like this.
Paranoia (M, for detailed medical trauma, clinical delusion and paranoia (obviously))
Idaho wasn’t always like this; scared, bizarre, anxious, paranoid. But something changed that, a long time ago.
Polaris! Polaris! (M, for detailed gore and violence) (80s non-personification/human AU)
Maine has spent the past three years at a boarding school. He finally gets the chance to spend a summer with his older brother, Mass, working with him at the lighthouse where Mass is the live-in nurse. It’s all fun, hard work, and poor attempts at brotherly bonding, until the morning after a storm steers everything into the rocks.
‘99 Problems (E, for sex and drugs)
Washington hosts a Y2K New Years party. Following up on the two hints left in Nobody Said about what he got up to in the final hour of '99.
Guts (E, for sex and drugs)
California and Washington’s relationship has never been good, or healthy, but once upon a time they were closer.
Kiss yourself in the mirror, call it love (E, for explicit Floridian acts)
Florida hates himself. There’s much more to it than that, but that’s really where it all starts.
hi mutual . just listened to local long distance relationship by saint motel. not only is it a fucking banger but im ill . ohhh man oughghh. that first verse FAWKK. like when they're on when theyre close & on the same wavelength like FUUCK. yeah yeah yeah i get it. also u understand.. california LOOVES getting people to chase him its the thrill its the feeling of being wanted its Making someone want you. ghghghg im ill im ILL this is a good song thank you
hello mutual. la2ny is a MISERABLE song for horrible WRETCHES. what do you mean 'trying to get [back] to the place that we were. pure and dangerous always just us vs the world'. california inserting himself into the ny vs the world agenda? more likely than you think. 'gold, tees, and sweatpants' you are literally just DESCRIBING HIMMMM at this point come the fuck on bffr. also 'come back, to me' over and over? stop that right the hell now he really does want people to want him sooooooo badly. not even out here trying to be loved just wants to be wanted. he WILL cause one sided codependency goddamnit that's his favorite it means he is wanted and doesn't have to tryhard. jfc i hate this guy.
obsessed w using color-shifting brushes lately its giving irl rainbow pencil . anyway. flocali for da soul. the only person in the world more annoying than california is florida. one of the worst couples you’ll ever meet . stay far away from them
thinking about doors by noah kahan & caliyork again. just. ugh man. like its absurd how well "i was born into a one hundred year storm / foot of ice across vermont, and in that dark / in that frost, a heart was born" fits NY. it plays into the whole NY vs NH fighting over the actual territory of VT, plays into the time pre-CA joining the union, like it describes him to a tee (it'd be remiss to not point out that it fits the other northeastern states as well but this is noah kahan we're talking about. every song he writes is about the northeast)
"you were unsuspecting / not unwarned" i think is an incredible incredible line summing up the beginning of the caliyork relationship. california constantly being surprised by the depth of new york's bitterness/anger/distrust even though new york has made it very clear the type of person he is, and he always has.
the chorus. it's self explanatory really. it applies to both of them
the entire second verse is so incredibly california-coded it drives me up the wall. "have you ever stared directly at the sun? / have you ever shared some closeness / so exposed, to have it spit back by someone?" like thats just the texacali background right there. thats the crux of it. "so forgive me if i jump / at the rattle of your keys, 'oh, are you leaving?' / 'no, babe, i'm just waking up' " like of COURSE california is deeply scared of people leaving him. of course he's incredibly insecure about it and it wrecks his relationships. look at what happened with texas (COUGH COUGH the great divide is such a texacali song COUGH). he chases after every ex begging for just one more night, one more try, please, he'll be better this time. but is he going to do anything to change the parts of himself that drive people away? well no. why the fuck would he do that.
this song it just. drives me crazy. california being interested in new york as a concept/challenge/change of pace. being fully warned of how abrasive and distant new york can be and still being surprised & hurt by it. new york being warned of how fake & desperate & grating california could be and still getting momentarily blinded & caught in his facade. both of them equally struggling to open their doors and let down their guard for different reasons: new york has been a deeply guarded, bitter person his whole life; california has been playing out whatever role will get him what he wants, so he's been hiding behind facades and playing up different acts his whole life. and when they do let down their guard a bit for each other, the other always fucks the moment up. terrible people who have terrible concepts of relationships and what they should/are/can be. but for some reason they keep coming back to each other. who knows why
Never have I ever with the states but they have to kick California and Nevada out for their safety so they don’t kill themselves from alcohol poisoning
