Summary:
Illinois wakes up divorced on Valentine's Day.
Title from Ghosting by Mother Mother.
^_^ HEYYYY WTTT MUTUALS ITS BEEN AWHILE. Remember that really bad valentine's day angst fic I wrote two years ago? No? Good. I REWROTE IT!!!! Go n have a lil looksy
Headcanons under the cut. Oh and Nevyork will be mentioned because they're rotting my brain right now. These are just ones I can remember, at least, and the ones I'll post on my main blog.
Nevada has two separate wardrobes, so he can separate his more "provocative" outfits from his "regular" outfits.
He has a make-up drawer, that is crammed with other miscellaneous items. He knows he should do something about it, but he'd rather leave it alone than organize everything into their respective places, which will end up empty in the span of two weeks.
Nevada prefers to actually remain clean and spray perfume all over himself, much to the distaste of others. (It becomes quite obnoxious with the smell towards some states.) He also really grooms his hair, taking perfect care of it.
He spends most of his time with Oregon and Washington (when he isn't with his boyfriend, York.), usually exchanging gossip, but will occasionally talk about Gov and his "weird behavior".
Speaking of New York, he and Nevada once went out on a date and encountered a rat. Before Nevada became accustomed to the northeastern state's behavior, he actually freaked out and nearly ran away when New York picked it up. He had the mindset that rats were dirty and diseased. (Luckily, he semi-grew out of that mindset. He just gets wary, now.)
He once scratched New York's scalp a little too hard with his nails once. This was when they started to get more intimate. (And New York wasn't pissed at all, he actually enjoyed it.)
bonus nevyork...
New York smells like shitty mens' cologne, while Nevada smells like roses and flowers in general. And somehow, they attracted each other with it. (Even though York sometimes chokes on the smell of perfume.)
Tomodachi life updates (no photos this time because my switch dead as hell)
California and Florida got married, they have two kids (Miami and Hollywood), with a third on the way (if it’s a girl, Orlando, if it’s a boy San Francisco)
When Miami was born Florida immediately gave him cannabis cigarettes
Texas’ daughter currently has an incredibly rocky relationship with him
Nevada and New York had a baby (Vegas)
California, Florida, Texas, Oklahoma, Miami, Hollywood, and Texhoma all live together now
Maine and Hawai'i had a fight over Alaska, and now they’re no longer friends.
Hawai'i then immediately abandoned her feelings for Alaska to crush on Mississippi
Georgia has a crush on Puerto Rico
Kentucky has a crush on Tennessee
Louisiana and Maine are fighting
Washington is begging Louisiana to calm down, and it’s not working
Luckily, Hawai'i was able to calm him down unfortunately, Maine wont forgive him so he’s going on a vacation to Kyoto
Nevada changed his hair color, again, now his hair is gray
California & Alaska, if you have any thoughts on how those two interact?
YES YES !!! ALWAYS SEND ME HEADCANON / QUESTIONS ABOUT CHARACTERS I LOVE DOING THESE.
Alaska gets exclusively she/her on all my posts, that is a transwoman in my heart. Anyways!
I think California desperately wants her admiration, just for the sake of saying he has it. Theres this woman who seems to be so elusive with who she hangs out with, who feels no need to push for connections and doesn’t make exceptions, and hes obsessed with the concept of being special and endlessly admired.
Alaska on the other hand, really doesn’t think about him, other then the fact he’s a massive try-hard. She barely talks to him, and really only will if it’s to ragebait Texas; when he talks to her shes more mildly annoyed then anything & doesn’t want to talk to him. I think on some level she recognizes hes not reaching out to her to truly get to know her or be her friend but rather just to feel special that he "won" the attention of someone who doesn’t like to give it out.
