WTTT Week!

@wttt-week

Happy WTTT Week! Runs March 30-April 5

Pinned

Presenting the official list of WTTT Week prompts!

What is WTTT Week? #WTTT Week is a week to celebrate the U.S. state-themed video series of YouTuber and comedian Ben Brainard, including Table News, Welcome to the Statehouse, Florida Man in SoCal, etc., as well as the small but dedicated fandom these works have inspired!

Are there any rules? The only rules are to be creative and have fun! You can submit any kind of fan work, including art, fic, edits, headcanons, memes, etc, etc. You do NOT need to follow the prompts exactly; consider them more as a rough guide. They’re pretty broad for a reason! The main rule is just to create and to keep this fandom alive.

Please don’t feel obligated to participate; and if you do, it’s okay to only do one or two of the days! If you choose to participate, tag your works as #wttt week! You can post as much (or as little) as you want each day!

Main Themes/Prompts: Based around the different “sub-series” of WTTT:

Day 1: Table News- Take inspiration from a recent or current event to make your own “Table” episode or scene!
Day 2: [State] Joins the Table- Time to showcase your favorite character!
Day 3: Table History- Put a “WTTT” spin on a historic event or theme
Day 4: Weird Laws- They say that every weird law was made for a reason. Showcase some State hijinks/shenanigans that may have led to the creation of some weird laws…(historical accuracy *not* required)
Day 5: Dating Games- Your favorite ship/relationship, whether that be romantic, platonic, etc.
Day 6:Meanwhile In…”- Anything about non-canon characters/OCs. Cities, other countries, etc. Now’s the time to share your own ideas!)
Day 7: Free Day! (Freedom, baby! 🦅)

What are the secondary/alternate themes?

The secondary themes are to help provide more specific ideas for each day. Do NOT feel obligated to use them. If you have an idea for a day already that has nothing to do with the secondary theme, that’s okay! But they’re there in case you need something a bit more specific.

Day 1: Weather/Natural Disasters
Day 2: State Symbols
Day 3: Folklore
Day 4: Animals
Day 5: Music
Day 6: Regions

That’s all for now! Go forth and have fun!

you have to be logged in to read the story

my first legit fic for WTTT, was having fun with Colorado! I did not proof read or read it over, so grammatical errors and mistakes are likely to be present. I am also not a wheelchair user and have only been in one about 3-4 times and that was a very long time ago, so excuse me for any mistakes on that part

WTTT Week - Day 4: Weird Laws “Animals”

Imagine getting pulled over on a horse lol apparently it’s illegal to go over 10 mph on a horse

I don’t have a name for the horse sorry also I apologize if the horse looks fucked up I have to relearn how to draw them every time I try. Ok imma go pass out now love y’all ;D

Alaska and North Dakota

Wttt week 5: yipppeee, I really wanted to get something out for this but literally struggled to draw the whole damn month. Sorry if it still looks bad.

Moving on! Alaska and North Dakota are one of my favorite pairs(either platonic or romantic). They take long walks through the snow, and both enjoy the coldness with one another 🥀

Yapper and listener core.

Weird Laws

for @wttt-week day four. was going to be a full fic but then I lost motivation for it, so you get a little snippet and maybe one day I'll have the full fic because its a rlly funny idea.

Gov didn’t follow up on everything the states did, but whenever one of them got arrested he usually wanted to know why. This time there was a newer face in his office, “How did you end up in jail on Saturday night, just explain one more time.” 

South dakota sighed, “I wanted a quesadilla, we didn’t have any shredded cheese, there was only bricks and I was not grating cheese at two am” 

“I got all that,” Gov sighed, “How exactly did you get pulled over?” 

“I was drunk driving” 

“South! I am disappointed in–” 

“Calm down, it was a tractor, those things barely hit twenty-five” 

Gov blinked a few times, “driving a tractor drunk is against the law?” 

“Driving any farm equipment on a public road while drunk is against the law, we’ve all tried with something” 

Despite better judgement Gov asked, “define ‘we all’” 

“All the Midwest states” 

Gov sat there for a long moment doing a mental tally of all the times a Midwest state had come through with driving related infractions, wondering now how many of those weren’t in cars. Maybe he didn't want to know.

@wttt-week day 5, feat. Floui being sweet and stuff. Somethingsomething about sharing immortality with your best friend/life partner, both the good and the bad. 🥺🥺 planting trees together. Sitting together under them and talking about your hopes and dreams and fears. The years pass, the trees grow taller around you.

…This turned out way more cheesy than I intended. I know it reads as romantic but that’s not * necessarily* my intention. I go back and forth between them being lovers and like…queerplatonic life partners, whatever that means to you. I personally don’t think they ever define their relationship; content to just be “them.”

Lyrics from the song “Forever” by Noah Kahan.

When forever was a sentence, sentence to death

Oh, when you were a running tear, I was a drop of sweat

And, the edges of your soul, I haven't seen yet

And I'm glad I get forever to see where you end

I won't be alone for the rest of my life

I'll build a boat for when the river gets high

Pose/s inspired by @albanenechi

Background dredged out of the depths of my imagination (with the help of googling “what does a bayou look like) and toiled at for hours.

WTTT Week day 3: Table History

These remaining ones will probably be posted a day late because I’m busy lately🙃

I went with state abbreviations for this one. The two-letter state abbreviations which we use today were standardized in the 1960s…at least according to this wikipedia article…although the source that it cites for that is a dead link 😐 well…at least it sounds believable. Here’s a little comic about what I imagine went down when the states were first choosing their abbreviations way back when.

My headcanon is that California is kind of scared of Louisiana. Not in a “omg he’s going to beat me up” way because obviously Cali is a lot bigger. He’s more scared of getting on his bad side because at all times he’s one mistake away from getting a rabid florida man sent after him.

Gov: damn...he was really pushing it

Nev: you have NO IDEA

Gov: to end this meeting, Nevada I've always wanted to ask, why is there no lottery in your state

Nev:.......the casino industry
