FYI: It is still not know who started this custom first, BUT scalping was paid for by the US Government and it was so profitable when Indigeous Americas were becoming hard to find, scalp hunters would scalp even their own and color the hair black to collect the reward !
Get your history straight ! !

I do NOT support the Richard Papen/Oliver Quick comparison. One is a drugged out baby cow watching the train crash into its field, the other is a wet feral gremlin who's DRIVING THE TRAIN into the field

Here’s an attempt of mine in making a fan-kai based on American cryptids because I think it’s a HUGE shame that there is none of them ;-;
Meet Mothmini and Umbrasmith !
There’s both of the Eerie tribe and their attribute is the Wind.
Their favorite food are donuts
They are of course based on the infamous Mothman and Umbrasmith also draws inspiration from Men in Black and Spider Noir.
If you think that you saw a Mothmini, then that means that something bad is about to happen.
Umbrasmith can erase your most recent memories so seeings of this Yokai are very rare

during its apartheid years, south africa had one of the strictest media controls in the world. this extended into homes when television was introduced in the country in 1977 (which the government had delayed until that year due to fears of "undue influence"), and when home video came along with it. each videotape that was legally distributed during these years was required to have a notice in the official languages of english and afrikaans that it complied with media censorship laws codified years prior.
(the model for the certificate was likely influenced by the british board of film classification's. by the beginning of the 20th century, the british had brought the template with them to south africa and other former colonies such as india. south africa was probably the only country to use it on home releases.)
this meant that south africans who watched "legal" videotaped movies not only had to sit through commercials and a standard-issue anti-piracy warning, but a federal confirmation that the film didn't feature an interracial couple, among many other things. the total time for the two warnings could reach up to two minutes long - for comparison, the chorus of "oops i did it again" by britney spears is twenty seconds long - but some were rushed through.
this example was taken from a tape of disney's snow white and the seven dwarfs published in 1994, the year apartheid ended. the media censorship laws which required the certificate would be overhauled two years later, though video openings remained similar for a while after.

Yeah... that hypothetical fic will soon not be hypothetical...
So like, I'm bout to write the first chapter on a Google doc (since I need to wait a week for the AO3 invite to process so I can make an acount), and I realized I kinda... lack a title.
And before someone comments on how I should write the story before I title it, I have made the executive decision to title any and all fan fics I write with dubiously fitting at best song lyrics. I uh... didn't come up with a song to yoink lyrics to title this fic with, since I decided to comit to this (mostly as character writing practice for my game lol) at like... 12 am last night. So yeah. Consider this an open request for y'all Oil Fire enjoyers to just give me songs you like so I can read the lyrics to pick a title.
