May we please have some NY hc’s? 👁️👁️
*not forcing*
I am so sorry for this being literal DAYS late, things happen but I still feel bad, anyway I shall deliver as it is better late than never!!
Doesn’t like planes (feel like it obvious why)
Can figure skate, likes to do so for 30 minutes as a warm up before hockey
He has a lot of scars, pretty much all on his chest and arms though he does have a good few on his legs
Met Delaware when he visited Netherlands home for the first time, he continued to visit every weekend until Netherland had to leave
Actually likes Netherland, way better than England that’s for sure
He found out that there was a another New state when he found New Mexico going through his kitchen, he still doesn’t have a single idea how NM had gotten there and neither does NM
Friendship bracelets, specifically Loom (the rubber bands)
He has some problems with his own humanity because while yes he is a state personification, he also had parents and has grandparents, something that pretty much every state except for a few have, swimming in the Hudson didn’t help at all seeing as now he’s all sorts of something
While he and Jersey seem attached at the hip, they actually don’t spend nearly as much time together as the other states thing, yeah they are slightly attached at the hip but they will go weeks without a single hello at times
Hates change, he went through so much of it as a child that he can’t stand it now
Spinny chair go brrrrr
“I’m not autistic, I just don’t like you”
He can’t really drive, like he has his license but is terrified to use it in his own state, he prefers public transport in the city rather than driving and always lets Jersey drive whenever they are in a car
He doesn’t like fireworks, they are pretty much way to loud for him to be okay
Used to have a pet duck
A scene from my fic that was just too cute to not draw!
Usagi says goodbye with a kiss and Leo's NOT gonna complain about it! Raph's not so happy about it...

I think it'd be fun. (I gave up on the hands, so I just recycled the original knives.)
This picture but it's Nine. It's times like these I wish I could art.
I am emotionally incapable of processing that I’m emotionally failing to fail emotionally
Jake + Zooey Quotes From This Weeks Episode of Welcome To Our Show With Special Guest Jake Johnson
Something about how Jim became so accustomed to Starfleet parlance that it’s the only parlance he can speak at all. Something about how his relationship with his ship and his work as Captain extends to language as well, to the way he handles and expresses his emotions.
Amok Time – Kirk is confronted with the fact Spock keeps a dangerous secret that, if not shared, might end up with his first officer killed
The Apple – With the landing party marooned on a strange planet and the USS Enterprise being pulled ever closer to the ground, Kirk asks Scotty something beyond excellence.
The Doomsday Machine – Commodore Matt Decker stands in the maw of a monster with a dead crew and stripped of any will to live. Kirk tries to bring his old friend to reason, but nothing else can be done for Decker as he looks death in the eye.
I understand how, especially in the third instance with Matt Decker, he might've seemed cold (your buddy is about to off himself, and you remind him the higher-ups spent too much money on his formation), but I see it more as Kirk trying to ground both himself and his friend (who is also a Commodore, might I remind you) than simply reducing Decker to his position.
It also accidentally reveals a lot about Jim (although reveal is not the best word, as that same thought has been explored in numerous episodes before), how much his sense of worth is tied to his job—to how well he can perform and excel at it.
But that's not all he's saying. In both instances (Amok Time and Doomsday Machine), Kirk puts himself in the Federation's place because he sees its recognition as more valuable, more "worth living for" than his own.
It's his way, the way of a man who knows no life other than that of servitude, of saying I care about you, and I don't want to lose you.
It's really tragic that it is not enough to save Decker. If both Matt and Jim share the belief (which appears more often than not in Starfleet overachievers) that your inner worth is tied to how well you can perform it, Matt is left face to face with the rather morbid fact that he failed severely and his whole crew is dead because of it.
To sin is human, yes, but if the Doomsday Machine is the Devil, as the Commodore himself put it, it truly is a shame Decker did not view himself as deserving of forgiveness
