It's kinda shocking to me how few people seem to know how prevalent the 'my great grandmother was cherokee' myth is and how it's almost never actually true, especially when it comes with things like 'never signed up' or 'fell off the trail' or 'courthouse burned down destorying the documentation' etc etc.

People just don't even seem to know the history like.. when the Trail happened. My great great great grandfather was 2 years old during Removal in 1838, so peoples 'my great grandmother hid in the mountains!' is so clearly wrong. And we have rolls. From before and after removal, rolls done by cherokee nation and others by the government, rolls that were not stored in one random flammable courthouse. It's not difficult to find the actual evidence of ancestry.

And just.. there are lots of ways those family stories get started. It was a practice during the confederacy to claim cherokee ancestry to show one's family had 'deep roots in the south' that they were there before the cherokee were removed. Many people pretended to be cherokee and applied for the Guion-Miller payout just to try to steal money meant for cherokees - 2/3rds of the applicants were denied for having 0 proof of actual cherokee ancestry. [We even see lawyers advertising signing up for the Miller roll just to try to get free money.] And the myth even started in some families in the cherokee land lotteries, where the land stolen from us was raffled off, including the house and everything that was left behind when the cherokees were removed. We have seen people whose families just take these things stolen from the cherokee family and adopt them into their own family story, saying that they were cherokee themselves.

If you had some family story about being cherokee and you wanna have proof one way or the other, check out this Facebook group run by expert cherokee genealogists that do research for free. Just please read the rules fully and respect the researchers. They run thousands of people's ancestries a year and their average is only around 0.7% of lines they run actually end up having true cherokee ancestry.

#and ive heard even dumber origins of the cherokee family myth #such as an ancestor having a silly sounding name so the descendents just go 'oh she mustve been an indian!!!' #i was one of the few people who had my ancestry done on the facebook and had genuine cherokee ancestry #[though i had found it before it was just really validating to get it double checked and i started finding cousins (:] #like. i was told once when i was a kid by my grandma that my dad had cherokee ancestry and i didnt believe her. its wild that so many peopl #will make it a Fixture of their identity [or even just smth they bring up ever] with Zero proof #at least for cherokees from what ive seen its usually considered really disrespectful to claim to have cherokee ancestry without #actually having the documentation [like ancestors on the rolls] #and no a dna test doesnt count. nor does 'my dad is Clearly not white!' or 'high cheekbones' or old family photos or anything #i had this discussion with someone recently whose dad had been calling himself 3/4 native but didnt know exactly what nation ???? hello? #and its like... sorry but ur dad is like. italian lol. #[and blood quantum is bullshit anyway im tired of the 'im 1/16 cherokee' comments its dumb #cherokee nation does not have a blood quantum requirement. its pointless bringing it up in the discussion of who is or isnt cherokee] #also mandatory disclaimer that im reconnecting. i didnt grow up connected to the culture of even knowing my ancestry #this is all from my looking into this stuff over the past year or so. i cant claim to be an authority over anything regarding this #this is p much all my repeating things ive heard said by people who know a lot more than i do haha #man. and this isnt even starting to get into the fake tribe stuff. the only legit cherokee groups are the 3 federally recognized bands #cherokee nation of oklahoma. united keetoowah band. and the eastern band of cherokee indians. #any others that are state recognized or not at all arent acknowledged as legitimate by any of the legit cherokee groups #anyway. my final message goodb.ye #cherokee #tsalagi

#sadly i did not grow up with the papa louie games #i fucking love games where you get to customize shit and or own a pet #but sometimes i just play flash games that were cutesy and or pleasing to look at #i didnt like games where it has membership on it because it was so limiting to me as a child and i was poor #so i was very spotty with club penguin animal jam and moshi monsters but i still played them at some points nonetheless #for the multiplayer ones i would often play them with my cousin we would all sit on the same computer butting each others heads #newgrounds was too inappropriate for us at the time so i didnt grow up with that. just flash games found in a website called y8 and y3 #i miss the facebook games so dearly. happy pets was destroyed to the ground by corporate greed and laziness. #horror shooter and generally gory games disturb me as a child. i would rather look for games with cute and easy going themes #anyway ill be surprised if theres someone out there who has played all of these games.

Sooo I’m watching an entire facebook group full of trump and cop dick suckers lose their entire minds right now.

Everyone in my very red area just went from “blue lives matter” circle jerking to “maybe we should not have given the local police 7 billion dollars” veeeery quickly when it came out that one of them just straight up killed a guy everyone liked and almost got away with it. 🤔 Wild how fast the opinion changes when it’s them murdering a likable white guy who didn’t qualify for the “oh he’s just a druggie” apathy special. It sure feels like something.

#to be fair I hate everyone around here with my entire heart and soul #but it’s funny to see them all turn on one another and the cops #for once #ACAB #tw: police #tw: police brutality #tw: murder #tw: trump #but also jfc #JESUS FUCKING CHRIST #they don’t care about anyone #cops in my state regularly murder people #they don’t usually pretend the guy just vanished and plant evidence etx #but still #no one ever cares #but this facebook group went from red hot cop fuckers to #wait this is bad maybe we shouldn’t have given them loads of money #anyway it’s even worse because they didn’t even tell the family they found him #the family had it confirmed by a fucking news article #tw: drugs #tw: ableism #bc this is the piss on poor site #I do not use the term ‘druggie’ or agree with that language #this is how THOSE people talk about it #it’s genuinly a direct quote from these fucking people #tw: racism

Nobody Told You How to Unfold Your Love (21102 words) by KindOfASorcerer

The war is over and there is a romance novel going around Coruscant. Everyone seems to be convinced it's based on Cody and Obi-Wan.

I still can't sum it up better than this, so I'll just share a few memes (they're very silly but won't spoil the story):

(rest under the cut)

And this one isn't mine but it fits:

#codywan #self rec #fic rec #cody x obi wan #ao3 #star wars fanfiction #I'm so tempted to make more #but I don't want to include spoilers #clone wars fanfic #memes #or is this a shitpost #the commenters also have a good sense of humour I love you guys #also Cody totally knows what jaig eyes are he's just desperate to change the subject #I've found the last one on Facebook its origin is untraceable I tried

I just know Duke loves celebrating the Ides of March

#the void screams #ides of march #duke thomas #i think he should send bruce ominous messages leading up to the day #nothing happens but bruce is looking over his shoulder for a prank the entire day #and SOMEONE left foam knives around in every single office in gotham but know one knows who. #the real scary one was the steak knife lex luthor found sitting innocently on his desk when he got to lexcorp that morning #none of the actual details get out but lex does spin the story to the press as 'receiving violent death threats' #tim is offended that he wasn't in on the celebrations of the ides of march. 'it's not my fault you didn't know we were celebrating' #'WHO'S WE' 'us.' 'AUGH' #(us is duke referring to tumblr as a whole but also to steph) #i maintain my headcanon that duke and steph are the only bats with tumblr #dick doesn't like social media but he has a facebook because a job had a work group once #jason uses instagram to take aesthetic pictures of his knives and give them captions from classic literature. usually with ominous vibes. #tim has twitter and reddit and loves egging on batman conspiracies. #cass doesn't use social media but she has a tumblr because steph has a tumblr. #damian has a tiktok that he uses just to look at videos of cats. #this is off topic but i digress #duke celebrating ides of march. you agree.

“Complicated”

Wind: why doesn’t rancher speak about relationship stuff. I know he says it’s complicated. But- like does anyone actually know why?

Warriors: you know, I don’t think any of us truly know.

Time: *staying quiet and sipping his tea*

Sky: you know don’t you? *looking to Time*

Time: hm, if he wants to talk about he will or he won’t. That’s up to him.

Warriors: was it that bad?

Time: *sets his cup down* he said himself. “A princess that was so beautiful, it shattered his heart.” Friends and loved one will always come and go from our lives through time.

Legend: yeah. *sadly looking down as he carves a bird out of wood*

Time: think we all been there in some way or another.

Wind: champion do you know?

Wild: oh me, ah. Well no. But it pains me to see him look so down cast during the hour of twilight.

Twilight: *returns from patrolling* what’s with all the glum faces?

Time: *pats a seat beside him, Which twilight takes* nothing to worry bout pup. Think others are just curious about your statement you made a long while back about a certain princess.

Twilight: oh. *cough* yeah. It’s complicated. Still sorting that all out.

Four: that’s understandable, we don’t mean to pry into something you’re not ready to talk about.

Twi: *softly chuckles and sighs* yeah.

In Times journal he has written from his conversation with Twilight:

Those tears falling down his face, staining his cheeks, preventing his words,

They are not just because he is sad.

No, rather they are full of all his emotions.

The ones the words tells him to bottle up, shove down, hide away.

It’s his confidence

His desperation

His embarrassment.

But most of all-

Those tears are his anger.

He knows what he wants to say, what he wants to shout.

His mouth just will not form the words, no matter how hard he tries.

His tears are full of unspoken phases, evidence of his broken heart and the anger he holds inside.

Ones I know far to well. When someone we love and care about leave. With no return in sight. To be left wondering, “what if” and grieving that loss.

#linked universe #linkeduniverse #linkeduniverseau #lu twilight #Midna #lu time #i am leaving readers to make their own conclusions to twilight and Midna situation #but the lu comic creator left it as complicated #link really doesn’t know what could of happened between them both #so i am leaving it at that #also the writing from Times journal is a poem i found off facebook which i felt was fitting #speaking about heart break #loss of someone close #whether it be a friend #a partner #or family #twilight just suffering from Midna leaving and not knowing where they truly stood and what could of been if she had stayed #also sorry for all the angst and emotional like posts #gloomy weather does that to me #makes me want to write hurt/ comfort posts
