I want to draw the Glamrocks and the DCA as PowWow dancers so bad but that would be just… so much detail. So mmmm it’ll have to wait.

But hear me out!

Sun and Moon: hoop dancers (Ojibwe/Anishinaabe)

Roxy: fancy shawl (Lummi)

Chica: Jingle dress (Lakota Sioux)

Monty: men’s fancy (Seminole)

Freddy: lead drummer/singer (Eastern Tsalagi/ Cherokee)

DJMM: Master of Ceremonies (Navajo/Diné)

And their regalia is just in their usual colors.

#fnaf #fnaf pow wow au? #this all came from my regular burning desire to make a jingle dress #and thinking that Chica would be such a great jingle dress dancer #I do want to do these some time #since having a little indigenous flavor to the Glamrocks would be awesome #and I want to subject y’all to electric pow wow #if you haven’t heard modern native music you are Missing Out #look up Halluci Nation/a Tribe Called Red #my tribe headcannons for each do have their reasons #but they’re just my biases #like of course gotta rep my tribe with Freddy #but also #Monty as a Seminole because duh #and Roxy would look gorgeous in PNW styles #and the Navajo always pop off at PowWow so of course we need a Diné MC #fnaf sb #dca fandom

our kiddo has already been to many powwows and today we play electric powwow drum by the halluci nation and little man fucking BOPPED had the best time ever! there's so much healing in watching him growing in our culture <3

Your music taste has been very nice so far, so for the song ask game: 5, 6, 7 and 22?

Oh that's so kind of you to say - thank you! It seems we are birds of a tasteful feather who have very much flocked together on this before! :)

5 - A Song That Needs to be Played LOUD

Electric Pow Wow Drum by The Halluci Nation

One of my all-time favourites! It's not loud enough until I can feel the drumbeat in my fuckin' sternum!

6 - A Song That Makes You Want to Dance

Sell Out by Reel Big Fish

This one was surprisingly hard! I like to boogie and I like to do so to a dizzying array of different songs and genres.

But I don't know that anything beats the feeling of being fifteen year-old, gangly and awkward and suddenly finding friendship, joy, and community in enthusiastically ska-dancing to boppy little numbers like this, blessedly free from any kind of skill or physical coordination but also gloriously free from inhibitions! :)

7 - A Song to Drive To

Bohemian Like You by The Dandy Warhols

I have an immensely cherished childhood memory of rattling full-pelt along a winding country road on a scorching summer's day - wind in my hair, this song blasting on the radio - on my way to spend a family day out on the pebbled shores and in the frigid waters of the mighty Loch Lomond.

I've associated it with driving, unrestrained summer fun, and the invincibility of childhood ever since.

22 - A Song That Moves You Forward

Immigrant Song by Led Zeppelin

I assume 'moves me forward' means 'song that makes me feel like I could tear out the throats of an entire army with joy, panache, and my teeth'?

It's a classic for a reason and really, nothing else comes close!

#This absolutely made my day! #I've had a blast thinking about it! #Asks #Ask Game #Friendos!

[protoslacker]

Some links to great Web sites here. I highly recomend PBS | Halluci Nation Rocks Brooklyn. The clip is less than 5 minutes long but really full.

Some of the Indigenous voices I follow online pointed to their grief about what's happening in Israel and Gaza right now. And as the SPLC observes: Honoring Indigenous Peoples' Day: We Must Reckon With The Past In Order To Create A Just And Equitable Future.

Celebrating Indigenous peoples is so important. One day of course isn't enough, but making one day special with shared experiences can mean a lot.

i’m bored out of my mind so i thought of assassin’s creed charas and whatever song they’d be paired with in just dance. validity uncertain, just going off of what ubi would give em (captions would be MY pick)

altair: probably something Basic, like a tutorial song. thinking footloose but extreme version? (he deserves better. he deserves something from the spy from cairo. marseilles noir maybe???) ezio: ABBA. simply the Greatest Hits. Gimme Gimme Gimme (honestly i feel like abba does suit him, he’d bump that in his room) connor: also something Basic unfortunately. he’s getting jopping by superm (i cringe as i write jopping. in reality he deserves something better too. something from the halluci nation maybe.) edward: oh naaaaah he’s getting scurvy by p!nk, he’s getting the most generic pirate pop song, rip king you deserved better (in all seriousness tho probably? we are young by fun) aveline: applause by lady gaga. hands down. (yes maybe that or something by mylene farmer for funsies too) shay: hungry like the wolf by duran duran. i’m not sorry. (no srsly someone get him any hozier song, maybe the bones???) arno: unfortunately he is French, so he is gonna get stromae’d. either papaoutai or alors en danse. (i stand by my stromae decision, but would like to softly suggest tous les memes) jacob and evie: DEFINITELY something britpop. either little mix or spice girls. wannabe is a strong candidate, so is shoutout to my ex (my vote’s for something fun like our house) bayek and aya: that one song that goes ‘i’ve had the time of my life’. lovely couple. (ok but we all know it’s boss bitch and aya’s the main dancer) alexios and kassandra: idek but knowing ubisoft they’re getting a greek eurovision song. maybe alcohol is free. or opa. i dunno (on the topic of eurovision maneskin fits them more, maybe zitti e buoni) eivor and basim: being the new kids on the block any original song off of ac valhalla / mirage (on one hand, yes. on the other, jezebel by the rasmus)

#ive had to think super hard about this #will there be a part 2? who knows #altair ibn la'ahad #ezio auditore #connor kenway #ratonhnhaké:ton #edward kenway #aveline de grandpre #shay cormac #arno dorian #jacob frye #evie frye #bayek of siwa #aya of alexandria #alexios #kassandra #eivor varinsdóttir #basim ibn ishaq #assassin's creed #just dance #(ps. i physically cringed as i typed out some of the Generic Picks lemme tell u) #(i can just. imagine the dances. help me. help)

The Halluci Nation X F--ked Up - John Wayne Was a Nazi

The lyrics of the NDC cover refer to movies that often portrayed Wayne as a heroic cowboy fighting against the villainous Native Americans. These film portrayals weren’t far off from his real-world views. For example, in a 1972 Playboy interview, Wayne says: “I don’t feel we did wrong in taking this great country away from them, if that’s what you’re asking. Our so-called stealing of this country from them was just a matter of survival. There were great numbers of people who needed new land, and the Indians were selfishly trying to keep it for themselves.”

Elsewhere in the interview, Wayne also stated “I believe in white supremacy until the blacks are educated to a point of responsibility. I don’t believe in giving authority and positions of leadership and judgment to irresponsible people.”

In a press release, the Halluci Nation’s Ehren “Bear Witness” Thomas states: “The song has been with me since high school. The song and MDC have stuck with me over the years. It’s got rage to it and that message, but I love that there’s a dark humor to it as well. It really fits in with the way we make music and visuals, with the message that we try to put forward about confronting one-dimensional misrepresentations of indigenous people in the media. John Wayne becomes a stand-in for the entire colonial project.”

Fucked Up’s vocalist Damian Abraham goes on to say: “For me, it’s like this: you watch The Searchers in school, and John Wayne is presented very much as an iconic North American type of figure. As a young punk kid hearing this song for the first time, it did change the way I looked at him — it subverted it to where all of a sudden the hero is the villain, and you can see what’s going on in pop culture. As a young punk kid, this song was one of the first that showed the cracks in that veneer.”

#Bristol_Election_2024.

Someone once described me as being about as subtle as a chainsaw because I've always spoken my mind, regardless. Having spent many years living up in the Northwest where speaking one's mind is pretty much de rigueur, speaking openly may ruffle many a feather or two, however, there is also an amount of respect given for people being honest with one another, and someone would have to have exceptionally weak back vertebrae to be as ready to take offense as southerners would. I guess that's always been one of the main differences between what was very much the industrial north, and the white-collar south.

I'm one of those marmite people, so, you'll either take to me, or you won't. There's no in-between at all. Am I bothered either way? Absolutely not, because none of us can be all things to all people, and, quite frankly, you don't pay for the roof over my head, my bills, or the food on my table, so, why should I even care? I own myself 100%, and that's what matters to me more than anything else. Take it, or leave it. Like it, or lump it. Your choice entirely. I will still be my honest self, and speak my mind.

Therefore, when it comes to the bullshit I read and hear it will be unsurprising that I pass comments, as my social media and blog site respectively reflect. Take, for instance, the splash headlines regarding the Royal Highmesses William, and Kate. Actually no, I'll take that back. It's the two ex-pats that are Highmesses. Never mind, the point being a bloke of royal personage visits his wife in hospital and it's reported as being something groundbreaking for him to do. He'd better watch it or he'll be starting a whole new trend before we know it, and Okay magazine will be heralding the royal prince as the next best thing to the second coming. Utter bullshit! Ah, well, I suppose on the brighter side it makes a change from stories such as Wolverhampton's Sandra, who had her toenails clipped by a gorilla while on safari at Whipsnade.

Of course, if you really want the real deal where bullshit of the highest possible level is concerned, look no further than our politicians, the grandmasters of it. If there was ever a Nobel Prize for bullshit, Britain would probably win time, and time again. Did that seem at all biased, by the way? Okay, so maybe it'll be between us lot on this side of the pond, and Trump on t'other. You know what I mean. Anyway, sticking to this side of that great divide known as the Atlantic, right now we have a choice between Titchy Suitsize in number ten, and Schizoid Starmer in wait, and not in number ten. I won't even bother mentioning the Postmasters/Mistresses all-time favourite, Second class Davey who, despite recent revelations of him being perhaps, one of the all time great political bullshitters, isn't worth any further tapping of the keyboard. Oh yes, let's not forget the Greens, but there again.

So, moving quickly on, is there anyone actually out there with a beating heart who still, and wholeheartedly believes in our politicians, I wonder, or is that pig I see flying past my window as I type going to stop and ask how my day is going? Maybe Red Rum will resurface as the winner of this year's Grand National, who knows? For sure, I don't. That's why, for the most part, I let it all drift by as being potentially harmful to my chakras - wherever they are! You see, I did once, possibly twice, and potentially three times take an interest in politics and being elected on both a local and national basis, and, perhaps more surprisingly, without the intervention of a psychiatrist - despite my neurodivergency diagnosis.

Although, and it's a big ALTHOUGH, I have to declare my surge of interest towards standing again, and I'm almost convinced it has nothing whatsoever to do with the medication I'm on. In fact, I've taken great lengths in doing my research as to potential side effects, and so far, there are no contraindications that in any way suggest the manifestation of political hallucinations when digesting pills for a malfunctioning pancreas, arterial sclerosis, and emphysema. Although there's still time yet, and who knows, I may well be on morphine by the time the next election, and if I am, then this is likely to be an election no one in Bristol will forget! It'll either be the best or worst ever, so, if I were you I'd begin crossing my fingers, revert to your by now dusty rosary beads, start going to whatever place of worship takes your fancy, or, keep both legs crossed and hope you don't start a leakage pattern anytime soon.

I'll have you know I've spent a great many seconds giving thought to why I should stand again, sometimes even minutes - spaced out of course. No, I'm not saying I've been spaced out, fool. Just that the opportunity is being considered as to what I would have to offer as a potential candidate, other than a much-needed sense of humour to deal with all the crap that would come my way, given my well documented, and superbly, illustrious past. Perhaps I should ask myself again. So, please hold, and enjoy the ambient sounds of subliminal whales in mating season against crashing waves while I check. You'll feel so much better in yourself for doing so. I can almost, but not quite guarantee it as you begin to breathe and relax.

Have you breathed? Excellent, it does help. Especially as I may require you to still be around with functioning lungs whenever the election is in progress. Please remember, at all times that votes are counted as null and void when you're six feet under.

That said, I have now fully consulted with myself, and adjudication was deemed unnecessary on this occasion.

Of course, it goes without saying that I also have a very serious side, and this is where I segue into questioning where the real people are in politics. Now, when I say 'real' I'm referring to ordinary folks, like myself. Those who haven't benefitted from a university degree, or a cosseted upbringing. Not that I have anything against that, of course, as everyone has their part to play. Or do they? Where's the roadsweeper who made his way up the ladder to become a director of the company? Where's the care home worker who, after years of wiping backsides enters politics because their experience gives them something to offer that's based on hard work? Where's the bus driver who climbed that ladder over many years to reach a senior level within his company, or the postman who, just like former MP Alan Johnson, entered politics? Where are these ordinary, working-class people? More importantly, where in parliament is there a balance between those who have had the benefit of university degrees and those who have not?

To me, this present system feels somewhat elitist with, in general, people who have never had to live through the voracities of life, and who don't know what hardship really means because it's never been part of their journey, and, to Labour's credit, at least they have names such as Angela Rayner, who was brought up on a council estate and began her working life as a care worker. Using a well-known saying - she literally is "one of the few, not the many" in politics today. Again, Raynor is one of those typically down-to-earth northerners who speaks her mind and tells you what you need to know, rather than what you want to hear - in no uncertain terms. You get the cake with no icing, unlike just about everyone else within the higher echelons of frontline national politics.

There's a class war within politics I don't resonate with, perhaps even a certain snobbery regarding the selection process for those we elect, of which I go against the grain. I'm an outsider who has never toed the line of life, as most people would know it, they find it uncomfortable. There is little they can relate to about my life because few have done the things I have. Am I about to change in a way that would please others? Absolutely not, because I am not a people pleaser As I said before, I am my own person, and therefore presumed to be a danger to the status quo. Which, of course, is total bullshit. Besides, as I've also said before, we cannot please all of the people all of the time, and who would want to anyway?

So, I would stand for election as an independent, simply because, to my mind, it is fairer to the electorate by not being bound to a party whip, not playing the favourites game, and being freely able to decide in my own best opinion and based on the evidence presented, what provides the best possible and fairest outcome all around given the circumstances laid out before me at that time. I've seen how Bristol has declined faster than a Japanese kamikaze pilot over recent years under Labour's Mayoral leadership, and it concerns me that the council may be teetering on 'special measures' - even though it may well be regarded by some as a bit of a stretch. I don't know what it is, or where it comes from, I just have this acute gut feeling that all is not well concerning the city's finances, and whatever's there and amiss will become apparent following the departure of our current elected mayor.

In my honest opinion, the administration of Bristol will require exceptionally long bootstraps to pull itself up by, and I have some continued hard thinking to do.
