hi :) do you have any spare headcanons for the Illiyork children, please?
:O
!!!!!
I personally make the cities the IlliYork kids for convenience sake, so
NYC and Chicago are the main reason the banned words list keeps expanding.
They have petty arguments over everything
But theyre the closest in age so they try and get along when they can.
The illinois kids have big opinons and even bigger mouths, so they usually come out victorious in family fueds (mostly because the york kids get tired of that shit real fast and dont have the patience to argue)
Theyre a very close knit group but they tend to confide in their own side more often than not. I feel like they grow out of it as they get older though.
I feel like illinois makes them get family photos.
All the kids except like upstate NY and Peoria, Springfied, and Aurora mildly dislike/violently hate it
On the HATE scale its mostly NY kids bcs their family photos are mostly candid shots and so they dont have to pose or wear matching outfits.
I feel like chicago has a midwestern accent. Like how can they not? But they never speak in it and it only slips if theyre embarrased. The others enjoy flustering them just so they can record it.
When the kids have a shared intrest, they will beg to be drowned in merch. Mostly bcs if they have sb who ALSO enjoys it, they feel less awkward repping it.
I love older sibling chicago so uhhh, they pick up their baby siblings and just swing em around and then tosses em on a soft surface, like a lot. They also do it just to carry them around.
I also have angst hcs for Chicago bcs my brain is so silly
So this comes from the songs i associate illiyork with, Anthony Kiedis by Remi Wolf is the song in question.
Theres one line that goes "I fit in my family dynamics like a Red Hot Chilli Pepper."
This line is a refrence to the band but!
When i think of the midwest -esp the rest of illinois- i think of mellow tame flavors, no kick or spice bcs white people would melt
But the rest of the state hates chicago, theyre too loud, demanding, commandeering the politics of illinois. They directly contrast the views of the rest of their state most of the time. So they are the red hot chilli pepper, per say. And cant keep a peaceful relationship w their fam w/o silencing themselve or compromising their views.
(I tried to keep all prns gn so let me know if you spy any gendered ones bcs i dont want my gender hcs to influence anyone.)
