(Questions from FlamboyantBanana)

As with most stories I write, I have the beginning and end in mind, and all I gotta do is get there

As I said, I knew the beginning and end, and everything else fell into place

Because that's how babies get made sometimes. I suppose Texas could've been a surrogate or something, but both America and Mexico were eagles so y'know, two eagles make an eaglet and stuff. Mexico has been female in my books about as equally as she'd been male, so it's not a tough decision for me, It just depends on the circumstances of the book. Besides, Mexico being a bad*ss empress is a vibe.

five years older than Texas, who is 19 in the book. So Confederate was a 24 year old with the maturity of a baby

You would be a happy lil cat imo because yay

I vibe with the coyote title. In fact, one of the states is a coyote, and these are the character notes I put for him:

• will eat anything

• night owl (aka, that romantic way to say insomniac)

• he's the kind of guy to find an abandoned house that's 100% haunted with a bunch of human bones in the basement and say "well, it's free ain't it?" And then he proceeds to live there

so uh... yeah, I see it

a lil bit of me, a lil bit of you (FB), a lil bit of my bestie, and a lot a bit of sweet and sourness

of course *showers Minnesota in cookies as she stares at me in confusion*

I looked at 'The United Miracles' book and was like, what if I do that, but instead of powers they are their state animal/bird? And what if Texas is the special one again because f*ck everyone?

I'm gonna finish up 'Don't Kill People Dammit!' (A book I didn't expect to have so much fun with) and see where I go from there! I might even write a sequel for this (A plot driven one though... I don't think I could keep up United Miracles and a run-on story of this at the same time lol). Writing is rarely a chore, so don't feel bad if I for some reason post 10 times in one day. It's not because I feel pressured, I'm just escaping school

Virginia: One day, when I was a young pup, I would visit the town every so often. It was fun, until a human accidentally ran over my paw with his cart. He picked me up and took me to the orphanage, where he tried to help me heal. Eventually Texas walked in- he was a pup himself at that point- and held me. He read me stories and gave me food until I felt better. From then on, I visited him every day, and he named me honey because of how sweet I was. I never kept him a secret, and I'm the one who introduced him to the mockingbirds.

Massachusetts: I went into the village one day to see what it was like, when some a**hole grabbed me and beat me up everytime I tried to leave. He kept talking about hunting therianthropes, so I decided to stay in my dog form so he wouldn't hurt me.

Minnesota: Haha, I remember when I met Canada... I'm not his pet, he's my human. I didn't think anyone was around, so I shifted to my human form, and just sat at the lake... well, Canada walked up to me, and I was wearing a cloak so he couldn't see my wings. We talked for a while, and he continued to meet me at the lake every weekday... well, when I found out he didn't mind therians, I told him I was a loon, and he thought it was the coolest thing ever. He's a sweet human... didn't tell many people about him. I wanted to keep him to myself.

California: SALMON

West Virginia: BERRIES

Montana: ALL THE HONEY I CAN STEAL

Yep! all of them are based on their state animal/bird (also you were so close with that spelling lol, its Therianthropes)

since I based them off of their state animals, the siblings don't have similar animal forms. However, in this world, since therians are also part human, they could mate with anyone they want (as long as they ain't siblings) and their baby would inherit either their mother or fathers animal, but not both. So, they are related, just inherited different animals.

(Texas is the only state whose therian form doesn't reflect his actual state animal. If I was being accurate, he'd be a mockingbird as well, which is why I had the mockingbirds be his friends. Why did I change the rules for Texas?

Why do you think I did?)
