[screams]

California: Come on you two, it isn't rocket science, how bad could it be?
Florida, who's been trying to teach DC to cook: I've literally done rocket science and I can confirm this is worse

California: What's a good way to say I'm not religious
Utah, tired: un-christian
Mass: Heretic
Florida: Sain't

Florida learned to draw through references and practice
He didn't get to ask anyone for help with art so he usually just drew whenever he could and tried to draw based on how he saw things
as he practiced more he got better with anatomy and shading and colors
and eventually felt comfortable enough to give himself a specific style
He's good at backgrounds because it's the first thing he ever practiced

he mostly uses polaroid cameras
but if he ever gets an opportunity he'll buy a nice camera
Florida getting excited over a camera

someone walking in on him making a reference is kind of funny to me because like

Florida: [crouching on the floor in front of a camera]
Florida: [walks like that]
California, in the doorway: food's ready but uh
California: looks like you're busy

Florida: [trying to do a specific standing pose]
Texas: What the fuck
Florida: I
Florida: I just want to draw someone running

Every once in a while he'll want to do a realistic painting and I want to think of what the reactions would be

Florida: Here's a painting
Florida: [sends what looks like a picture of a frog on a tree]
Louisiana, used to his paintings: It looks good
California, zooming in: that's a fucking painting
California: holy shit that's a painting
Washington: no it isn't lmao
Washington: [zooms in]
Washington: Holy shit

the other states info dumping with him because they think he's zoned out but then he quotes it randomly one day

Massachusetts: Marriage between Male pirates was really common. It was called matelotage, after the French word for sailor, matelot. Matelot partners usually shared loot from their voyages and ships. They even paid a deceased sailor's portion to their surviving partner
Massachusetts: That's where the term matey originated
Florida, who looked zoned out: [nodding slowly] oh my god they were crewmates
Massachusetts: What the fack!

Florida: and he goes "I don't think"
Florida: and ceases to exist
Nevada: What the fuck does that mean
Florida:
Florida: Cali?
California: What?
Florida: "Cogito, ergo sum" was a quote from Descartes, right?
California:
California: You were listening?!

Florida watches Tom Harlock, Drew Gooden, Kurtis Conner, and Danny Gonzalez
California watches Kurtis Conner and Drew Gooden
Massachusetts watches Danny Gonzalez and Tom Harlock

Random John Mulaney quotes to the state chat at 3am

Florida getting really excited and vibing to "Australia" by the shins

Florida and California speak memes like they're hieroglyphics and it confuses the fuck out of the others
Utah understands but only because Jaxon and Kingsley do the same thing
He actually replies one day and they're both just shocked

adding onto the headcanon that the northern states took the southern states to an ice rink:

Florida is struggling the entire time
He's pretty much clinging onto anyone that'll let him (usually Louisiana and Georgia)
California is listening to music the whole time and ignoring everyone else
at one point he decides to bother Florida
So he skates over, full speed, and grabs Florida by the wrist and just spins
Florida is screaming at him
Utah is trying to hide his laughter
Louisiana and Georgia are both worried they're going to fall
Texas and Oklahoma already fell over laughing at Florida then at each other
Cali has enough control to slow down so they don't hit the wall
Florida refuses to let go for at least five minutes after

TikTok headcanons

Florida got sent fanart with a caption "There he is! There's my favorite TikToker" and cried

Florida leaves a comment on all fanart he receives
sometimes it's a short comment but it's usually either multiple comments (it's gotten the comment option taken from him more than once) or one big paragraph about how much he likes the drawing/animation

He makes fun of people so often that no one knows what his political beliefs/morals are

He refuses to let any kids follow his account (even if he doesn't post sexual content)

Edit: changed stuff, fixed spelling
