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

TIME TO SHOW WHAT I'VE BEEN WORKING ON SINCE JAN!
Full character sheets for my characters! These four are referred to as the Stems, in my world. Because their powers stem from the Goddess Eumelia! In my Voice Carries the Music story, these four are long gone. But they left their blessings for each of their countries to benefit from, and they each have descendants!
I'm so happy I was given the opportunity to work on them!

Sorry for being so rambly today (and last night) I have thoughts so onto the blog they go
I feel like part of the joy of art is in community, like you create something and you get to talk about it and share it with the world. This year I lost touch with the friends who I would always talk about art with and I think that loss is heavily impacting my ability to create (and the enjoyment I get from it.) I miss having a new idea and getting to ramble about it excitedly. I miss texting people the sketches and the mock ups and the color palettes.
I got into art for me. I wouldn’t show anything I made to anyone for years. So I’m no stranger for creating for the target audience of myself. Still, I miss that sense of community. I love this blog and I absolutely adore the lovely comments you all leave on my art but sometimes it feels so one-sided on here. I post a piece, I receive a lovely tag back and that’s it. End of story. I spend hours and hours working on something and it kind of disappears into the void in a day or so.
Trying to put it into words, but I think I wish I could create art that starts a conversation. That inspires people to create their own things in response, or even just talk with me about process. I think the perfectionism has gotten out of hand lately because I feel like I’m missing something—which I attribute to the quality of the piece—but really what I’m missing is buddies to chat about art with. There is no level of being “good enough” that will serve as a substitute for a real community.

Wondering if Season 6 Tommy ever lies awake at night thinking in an unbreakable spiral loop:
I should’ve dumped those fucking guns I should’ve listened to Uncle Charlie I should’ve dumped those fucking guns I should’ve listened to Aunt Pol I should’ve dumped those fucking guns I should’ve dumped those fucking guns I should’ve dumped those fucking guns

fic list!
jal (in timeline order - fics are all standalone however!)
what’s there to be faithful to? (i am faithful to you, darling): jay and mal give each other tattoos
you feel your heart taking root in your body (like you’ve discovered something you didn’t even have a name for): it’s a cold night on the isle, and jay doesn’t want to go home
a flash in the sky: jay and mal get caught in the rain
even when i look away i am still looking: jay is hurt and mal tends to his wounds
your body told me in a dream it's never been afraid of anything: mal has a nightmare, and jay is there to comfort her
the black sky and all those lights: jay and mal spar (valentine’s day fic)
eventually the birds must land: jay, mal, and vulnerability
the place where we weren't stitched up quite right: jay is ill, and mal gets him to eat
core four
take the light inside you like a blessing (like a knee in the chest): there is a storm on the isle
you were burned, about to burn, or still on fire: jay finds it hard to stop stealing in auradon
misc
you’d break your heart to make it bigger: uma cares too much
you find yourself down the hall again (the lights gone dim): coach invites jay round for dinner, and jay begins to learn what family is

Thinking about Supreme Bullshit and how convoluted was Supreme Leader's reason for declaring War on the CoS, by appointing Grégoire as a sham and puppet Bishop no one gives a fig about -
I was thinking at first more in lines of Supreme Leader herself, claiming - as House Hresvelg does - lineage from Saint Seiros herself (she knows it's a lie!!!!! but that beast made up that lie and stupid people believe it!) - so Supreme Leader claims higher "authority" on the Church than "Rhea", the Archbishop, and wants her seat to unify Adrestia and the Central Church under one banner.
If the Archbishop refuses, then Supreme Leader, claiming descent from the Goddess (iirc in one prayer it is mentionned Seiros is one of the Goddess's children!) herself is denied authority over Her Church, and has a (completely made up) legitimate claim and reason to get rid of the CoS, without needing to pretend Varley is a the new Southern Bishop.
But then I thought about something else...
Still using the lie that House Hresvelg descends from Seiros herself...
What if Supreme Leader, now besties with the CoS who helped her get rid of evil people who manipulated Adrestia (at least that's the official version) makes an official statement about wanting to claim Saint Seiros's remains, to put them in, idk, the Imperial mausoleum with all former Emperors and important people to Adrestia - under the guise of Seiros being one of the founders of Adrestia (as she supported Willy?) and the (supposed!!!) matriarch of the Imperial line?
Of course, the CoS can't "return" Seiros's remains to Adrestia, and thus a new casus belli is born.
Granted, in those two situations, it puts Supreme Leader in a difficult position - because if the CoS/Rhea/Seiros are outed as inhuman creatures who should not rule over the people, if Supreme Leader pushes her claim that she descends from those creatures, then maybe someone will tell her she's part beast, thus should not rule over the people too?
(she still could have Hubert silence any opposition, but at this point, why needing to make plans and create a real cause of war, if Hubert can do his thing on his own?).

Harry Hook’s mother
Tumblr media
so i always flip flop for ideas about Harry’s mother, be it a fairy (Zarina), a mermaid, or *cough* Emma swan *cough* (that one is pure au tho) my favorite has to be, a mermaid. cuz g’damn no one is naturally that fucking pretty, there's some supernatural shit going on in that blood.
so Harry’s mom (unnamed atm) was a neverland mermaid, close with her pod, and she was a un-godly beautiful woman, with ocean blue eyes and unruly dark curly hair when it was dry. Hook took a liking to her, after seeing her attempt to drown his men and the lost boys several times. she was one of the strongest of the pod, her voice able to lure the fairies of pixie hollow. once, only a few months before hook was arrested and sent to the isle of the lost, she had been able to trap him with her voice and almost get him neck deep into the waters, her blue eyes never leaving his. he only survived because of Pan (that wretched boy, whom he now had some debt to for saving his life indirectly) 
but this sets off Hooks obsession with the mermaid, and just before he is arrested and sent to the isle, he captures her, not letting her speak as he explains to the new Auradon guard that she is his wife and he will not go willingly without her. and so the mermaid is torn away from her home, sobbing and screaming for her dear friends and family, leaving on in particular behind; her best friend Arella (cant stop this feeling only lore) 
a few moths later, she falls pregnant, and nine months later, gives birth to a fantastically healthy baby girl, blessed by the ocean gods and born of neverland blood. Harriet thrives, the ocean in her veins and a sneer on her lips. but the mermaid grows weaker as the years go by without the magic of neverland, and soon she can hardly move other than for short moments, bursts of energy if you will, her last dying breaths. she is grateful to Mr. Smee who takes her out to the waters and lets her swim around with her only daughter at the shore, her human feet wading in the slowly polluting isle water. 
and when Harriet is 2, the mermaid falls pregnant again, and she isn't sure how, she thought she wouldn't have any magic left to be able to carry another babe. but it doesn't matter, she will love this one as much as she loves her darling starfish.
she doesn't make it more than four months into her sons life, and 3 years into her only daughters life, before she is exhausted of all her magic, and dies, turning to nothing but sea foam. leaving behind two sea glass bracelets that are hidden within the pockets of her only two children, who have no idea if they will ever experience the ocean they way their mother did, but they swear they will honor it better than their father.
....yeah, ANGST MFS! 
in one of my first Headcanon posts for Harry, i mentioned his mom as a siren/mermaid, and thats why he never sings, cuz it does things to people.
anyway~ hope yall enjoyed~ i am very much taking name suggestions cuz idk how to name things.

just listened to selfie because theres a sample of it in a dariacore song. so now, i have listened to a second chainsmorkers song. it is kind of unbelievable how bad that is. however i also listemed to closer again earlier and listen. i cant lie and say i dont like it. i just cant
okay listen. i have expressed my distaste for closer but that is, at the very least.... a SONG. it has like. parts. and lyrics. and i can understand who the intended audience for it is, i understand why it was a hit.
selfie is like. baffling. why did they make this (to astroturf a viral trend and artificially inflate a hit for themselves). who would listen to this (nobody but a lot of people partook in the viral trend and artificially inflated the hit for them). it is a board meeting condensed into a phantom manifestation attempting with the ghost of a conscious will to replicate the experience of "EDM." it is un-art. it is the thing that should not be. it is the dark pulsating scab on the underside of hell's bottommost stone and it should be the most urgent mission of each and every one of God's creatures within which the breath of life moves to lay absolute and unfaltering waste to its existence.

Sorry to go back and forth on topics here but god imagine Mapleshade waking up in the Dark Forest, she's initially in despair and freaking out that StarClan has apparently abandoned her, and she thinks for a brief second she could be in the wrong... but then she realizes that no, it's not that, it's that she failed to avenge her kits' deaths properly. She's not done yet. There's still a whole litter of kittens walking around that never should have been born. She can't go to StarClan yet, no.

So, I recently entered on an intensive journey to collect As Much Descendants BTS as possible (it remains to be seen whether I’ll put that up here or on a sideblog) and on this journey I’ve found this random disney influencer who has met most of the cast multiple times and Sofia Carson follows her on Instagram???? GIRL I WISH THAT WAS ME

Okay, but what if Mc couldn't come back because they got injured, etc. Something that was out of their control? Would they still feel betrayed or more angry at whatever or whoever hurt mc?
Oh definitely more angry towards what/who hurt MC. They will exact vengeance if it can be done. But also... MC could have not left to where they could never follow to begin with. Kinda spoilery below the line, but again, this is really all hypothetical since it will not be an option in game. But if you want to imagine some really bad angst for your OCs later on... who am I to stop you?
As selfish at it would seem at first glance... they would feel like they were placed very low on MC's priorities and that their suffering was not as important tot them. Because this person that claimed to love them, actively chose to leave them trapped in a hellhole they've been stuck for some 1500 years, when there was a real possibility they'd never return. There's a bit more to MC getting out and coming back than just finding a simple way in and out. The RO would take a leap of faith, and trust MC with the livelihood of their entire people, that they are responsible for... fae who are desperate, dying and worse, on the off chance that MC would somehow find the way back again, when they were completely lost in the first place when they got there. MC would know all this and would have also been a whiteness to the deplorable state the fae are in, and still make that choice. While this might not be fair to be put on MC's shoulders to begin with, they'd still be playing Russians roulette with the fate of an entire dying race. I think just the mere decision to leave, all considered, would put a dent in their trust, even if MC somehow magically came back the same day. It's like accidentally stumbling upon a group of stranded people on an island and then deciding to sail home first, not knowing when or how to actually get back... instead of staying there and gathering resources for a while in order to take them all with you. All the while knowing that some of them were occasionally walking into the ocean to their death because they couldn't stand living there anymore . Like, sure, there's no real obligation to help them... but don't expect to be welcomed back with open arms after initially abandoning them.
ROs would eventually still care for MC, but there would always be a stain on their relationship and would always question just how much they mean to MC. Because, at the end of the day, while they'd be very sympathetic towards MC's feelings and worries, MC would have always, knowingly, gambled with both their freedom and their life.

Y'all I'm sorry but Final Fantasy in general has me in such a choke hold. I just finished FF14 A Realm Reborn and I'm going to be annoying for a bit about it.
Look at my girl:
Tumblr media
She just killed a tyrannical ruler. I'm so proud of her.
