metions of death, SA, abuse and suicide//proceed with caution
@sleepdeprivedsimp234
so @syn-ningsilk mentioned the idea of the states being humans in their past lives and being reincarnated as state personifications, and i had an idea for louisiana.
so, there’s a song called “leave luanne”, that’s about a woman, luanne, staying loyal in an abusive relationship with her husband, who in the song is referred to as “the bastard.”
well, the husband beats and sexually assaults his wife (as stated in the song) and luanne still remains loyal to him, starting to believe the things he tells her.
eventually she gets tires of this constant cycle and attempts to escape, cutting the rope that keeps the husband’s dog inside and then yelling “your dog’s got out!” before running out to the bog.
she then swiftly swims through the swamp near the house, attempting to escape and get back to her house on the golden coast. but, the husband beats her to the end, and then proceeds to drown her and make it look like a suicide.
it states in the song that he feels a little sad about the death of luanne, but nobody really seems to care to grieve her death.
well towards the end of the song, she comes back to haunt the bastard, and he screams about how she came back because nobody loved her. she constantly yells and wails, becoming a “cautioun to the cruelest of men” as the song says.
but the sad part is that even in death, she remains loyal to her husband. and that’s also why i feel like this fits loui.
1. the person singing the song is referred to as “the cajun” in the official link for the lyrics.
2. it’s a louisiana ghost story, and you can kinda figure that out just by listening to it. hence the mentions of the setting being near a swamp.
and also, the ghost part would also make sense for him, because he can see ghosts himself and i thought that would fit especially. i also feel like with his connections to magic and spirits, he would vividly remember his past life//have a lot of nightmares about it.
there’s also a specific lyric; “louisiana wants war”, that to me feels like foreshadowing.
Loui can see ghosts. Not in a "Klaus Hargreeves" way, but in a "This energy feel like negative/positive and wants us to know ---" kind of way. Sometime they can take a form, other times it's just a feeling (think of Celinaspookyboo if you've ever watched hers or Sam and Colby's video of ghost hunting) He knows when not to mess with it.
He also knows voodoo, but rarely uses it. He prefer letting the other states believe he did, sometime their reaction are funnier than if he did use it.
He speak French (duh), Spanish, English and Creole, and play any instrument Jazz related.
People don't give enough credit, but he's as mad a Florida, just more chill (the states don't know if it's just because he's drunk most of the time, but the truth is that he's just like that). And he's extremely protective of what's his.
He loves the Bayou, and it's his safe space, where he can let go of his magic and tensions.
headcannon post! (most of these will be canon in this blog’s AU keep that in mind!)

- his magic is semi-connected to his emotions; he can’t control it much when he’s angry
- he can see ghosts! though it’s much more of a curse than a blessing.
- his eyes glow based on his feelings when he feels extreme emotions. ex; red for angry or green for scared. (by default he has heterochromia, one green and one purple eye.)
