it's funny that basically the only other state that uses the term "upstate" is South Carolina, one of the states you chose as an example

As both an upstater and nyc-er, upstate is used to differ between New York the city and New York the state. For example, when you say “potsdam, in upstate New York”, it’s so non-ny people understand that potsdam is a town in the state of New York, and not a neighborhood in the city of New York City

I thought it was because when people say New York they think New York City, so say they say upstate New York being north of the city 🤷‍♀️

Upstate SC is VERY much a thing!! There is upstate, midlands and low state/low country. The upstate is near the mountains the midlands is where the capital is and where the hills lessen and the low state/ low country is the coast!!

Though i believe SC has an upstate (not sure) I believe NY has update NY to separate it from the city, everyone hears new york and IMMEDIATELY assumes you’re from the city when that’s like 2% of the entire state 😭😭

Upstate SC is where Greenville is located! lots of mountain area, a waterfall in downtown, and tons of parks. it's a beautiful place to visit (but please don't move here)

TIM DRAKE IS NOT ACTUALLY ALLERGIC TO SHRIMP YOU ALL LIED TO ME. ITS ALL FANON. since my caption has been gone for most of my tiktoks by now, here is a personalized list of things I thought about while making this multi hour atrocity: 1. I have no idea what's happening to my artstyle, however I do hope it's still recognizable (don't mind the artstyle change two seconds in) 2. do you know the muffin man? the muffin man? the muffin man. 3. some tiktoks I made I regret making because I hate how they turned out and if I wasn't a semi attention -- then I would've taken them down already 4. I have so many ideas for tiktoks but I am lazy so this idea I got is from like January 5. I should learn ballet 5. I should not learn ballet that's a stupid idea I barely move and function  7. I CSNT FREAKING DRAWWWWWWWEE 8. I like snickers bar 9. I sometimes think about what happened to the gender fluid people. they must have evaporated or something. 10. for legal reasons everything I said prior is alleged and I do not take responsibility for my words 11. word  12. ballet ruins your toes. don't do ballet if you like your toes 13. I asked for your daughter's hand in marriage and she said no 14. I am genuinely tweaking 15. I am better than my twin brother because I got into a better university 16. I dislike squash and zucchini. they look the same in my mind but one of them is yellow and the other is green.  17. no one ever mentions how shaky my hand is when I record tiktoks which I guess is good? 18. I figured out why my caption doesn't work. I am finally free. #batman #dccomics #comic #superhero #batfamily
