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

#the word voodoo shouldn’t be thrown left and right like confetti by the way #let’s start calling things by their name #these are called kolossos (s.) kolossoi (p.) #equivalent of poppet. not necessarily used for harm #though in this specific case #and to use a definition in english #an object/s or material/s used to cast a curse #more specifically a love one - love curses are a thing #and curse doll should be just about right in English #there’s probably another dozen more accurate terms that still wouldn’t involve voodoo #this is called a testimone di fattura in Italian #translates to something like curse witness #ancient rome #greco roman #archeology #curse #hex #ancient curse #history #esoterica #esoterism #occult

[danandfuckingjonlmao]

it’s very funny to me that dnp are now perfectly comfortable saying ph*n while phannies are doing everything in our power to scrub the word ph*n from existence despite it being our foundation.

what do you mean ph*n is in the word phannie?? no it isn’t?? there are literally no letters in common?? you’re delusional??

ph*n?? you mean dnp?? the only term we have ever used to refer to dan and phil collectively?? how do you even get ph*n from dan and phil like those names together are dil and dil ALREADY EXISTS, IDIOT!! HE’S A SIMS CHARACTER!! WE CANT HAVE TWO DILS ARE YOU MAD??

phandom?? wh- actually no we can’t run from that one. that’s us, present and accounted for, your honour 🫡

#phan is bad but the worst thing we’ve ever done is phangirl #that’s horrific #a fucking abomination #dnp #dan and phil #phan #dan howell #daniel howell #amazingphil #phil lester #danisnotonfire #danandphilgames #d&p #dapg #phandom #phannies #phannie #fandom linguistics should be a subfield i wanna start it #like how things like ship names develop and are accepted in any given fandom zeitgeist #yeet my deet #yeet my deenp

She can transform into a dragon and then falls in love with a man on a mission to slay all the dragons he finds. Who then begins to travel with her brother and his friend and keeps hearing about how "my sister could kick your ass" and he tries to keep his sister away from the dragon slayer because that's a risk he won't take.

Then the sister ends up marrying the dragon slayer.

The end.

#my characters #i am working on fanart but not enough energy to finish the stupid thing so you guys get ocs today #dragon slayer is actually ex-royalty and isnt anymore simply because his entire kingdom was destroyed by dragons #when he was young and after that he just got consumed by the need to make sure it never happened to anyone else #he lost his entire family and the entire population and lost hope in fate p much #then he starts traveling with mr national geographic on dragons and eventually meets his sister #while she is in dragon form and the guy bs's uhhhh this is the family messenger dragon! means no harm! #she was just leaving in fact !!! and then the family messenger dragon reappears to save the trio and looks really smug about it #so the dragon slayer is like fine your family dragon gets a pass #and he meets her in human form a few times but it doesnt really register that shes the dragon #and when he watches her change for the first time hes like oh thats why you think she could kick my ass #anyway she falls in love at first sight so yeehaw it works out #and final note is the brother is named vikrahm and her name is shilva while dragon slayer is #simply dubbed pops by their friend adlyn and then dubbed old man by vik #bc he wont reveal his name

i will completely understand if you decide not to answer this but. hey. were Bruce and John throwing out “Corinne is Kate Kane” as one of their theories. is that why it’s less personally complicated that she’s not a witch. (i’m assuming Kate isn’t Bruce’s first cousin in your universe, given that he specifically said “only daughter of an only daughter” when tossing around theories and Martha doesn’t appear to have any siblings)

kate's related to bruce's maternal grandfather (he is not really in touch because that whole side of the family hates his maternal grandmother (they are correct))

#original #ficblogging #i will confess to retconning this because #and i swear to god this is true #when i started wayne manor and figured out the plot #i hadn't read comics in years #and when i looked up information on bruce's family. EVERYTHING i found. SPECIFICALLY went out of their way. #to say that kate was not related to bruce and the last name was a coincidence #MULTIPLE ARTICLES #i don't know when that changed but if it was before 2015 i'm p mad about it lmao #anyway. it's fine. they're related to roddie now. it's fine i'm fine everything's fine.

Which best describes the mindset that you will play Touchstarved with, in terms of how you perceive the main character?

#apologies for phrasings #touchstarved #touchstarved poll #touchstarved game #I struggled with how to word this #but I'm wondering how you all intend to play the game #bc honestly it's cool to see people's OCs but I don't think I've ever made an OC...or had interest in making one? #I give my MC a different name but still make choices as if I was her- she's not an 'other' from me with a different personality etc #and then I'll go through again without any roleplaying and think like 'ok now I'm gonna be really rash in this playthrough and see if it #dooms me #but seeing all the ocs people have made me start to wonder if maybe I was an anomaly haha :p

I don't expect to get good feedback but I feel like I need to say this: not everything is about taylor swift. yes, her ex posted an article about gaza on his instagram story the day of her birthday. but to call that a targeted act of malice, done solely to make her look bad, in my opinion, is in very poor taste to the current situation in gaza. don't get me wrong, I love taylor, some days she's all that gets me through the day, but she is NOT the center of everyone's universe. joe alwyn called for a ceasefire LAST WEEK, along with many other celebrities, among which taylor was not one of them. I don't even keep up with what the guy is up to and even I knew he called for a ceasefire. I think it's likely, with this being her first birthday since the breakup and with her living her life much more publicly, he knew fans were going to be paying more attention to what he posted and rather than give fodder to that certain subsect of swifties that like to hate on every person that was once in her life (I'm looking at you, people who were making fun of karlie kloss for her seats at so-fi stadium) he decided instead to turn heads to the current genocide in gaza! let me repeat that: there is a genocide going on! not everyone is thinking about taylor swift rn bffr!

furthermore, if you think his speaking out makes her look bad, think about why that is. I don't think celebrities have an obligation to "speak out" just because they are celebrities, but there is no denying taylor speaking out in support of palestine could literally be a key factor in turning public opinion in palestine's favor.

using the actual human suffering of the palestinian people as a way to make things about cheap celebrity gossip and "throwing shade" just to make your favorite celebrity look good is fucking tacky and it makes me ashamed to be in this fandom. if you're going to be doing that, the least you can do is click a button every once in a while too

#taylor swift #joe alwyn #leave the guy alone jfc #or read the fucking article he linked maybe #instead of finding a way to make it about taylor #he never spoke about her when they were dating #what makes you think he would start now #honestly the way some swifties are behaving right now makes me remember why i used to hide my love for her #because you give a bad name to the fandom #not even gonna tag this with p*lestine because I'm embarrassed that swifties are taking attention away from that with this bs
