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

I gotta wonder if mcr's (mis)classification as emo has anything to do with the fanbase's reluctance to branch out and explore music more widely. Not that that's all mcr fans, but it's a definite tendency. I know when I was younger I tried to get into emo because I loved mcr, but not much I found appealed to me. I had no idea where to actually look to find music with some of the things I liked about mcr. It wasn't until I started watching interviews and reading analysis and stuff that I learned more about what artists and genres they were actually drawing from and suddenly some things made sense lol
#even back then i was like hm i like some early fallout boy and panic but i have no idea why mcr is supposedly part of this trinity#its actually only recently that i had this revelation so im still pretty new in exploring all this! its fun tho#not that i wasnt listening to other stuff all those years#i just wasnt trying to find anything that scratched some of the same itch as mcr ya know#i definitely feel the 'mcr is the only band actually' attitude#because in my heart they are the only band lol#but like. not really. there is other music you will like i promise#mcr#my chemical romance#also a contributor to my ignorance when i was younger was that i had a very inconsistent internet connection#i couldnt really do much beyond listen to the music itself at that point lol

After several years of actually doing things one or two other people might be able to understand I am proud to say that I have gotten back to my unusual indecipherable content by creating an entire band who don't exist and immediately proceeding to get really obsessed with them
#it's not quite on the level of footsim and other such middle school concoctions but we're still so back#technically this is an aubreyad au/lady parts crossover and if i do write stuff it will make more sense#but i'm very attached to this band they have a cool name and cool people in them and also probably cool songs that i'm not going to write#perce rambles#honestly i need to go back to having incomprehensible invented things to be a fan of like in middle school#footsim was crazy. i wish i had actually made the jersey that would have been so funny#'yeah this is for a sport that doesn't exist i made it up for a short story i wrote way back. no this team isn't relevant to that'#regrettably it was essentially just actual football down to the two teams being off-brand barça and m*drid#but there were other things i did in middle school that were more arcane so it's fine

was kinda thinking about this when I saw Renee Rapp live recently-- I didn't know her visual vibe, I'd heard a few songs here and there but I hadn't really *seen* her, and her attire at Osheaga was really casual, a jersey (baseball/basketball?) and slacks. And that was so amazing! I couldn't help thinking, the work Billie Eilish has done for how women in pop music are allowed to dress is incredible. Seeing her up there all comfortable you just know that Billie walked in her oversized tops so that Renee in her slacks could run; Billie walked through all the critcisms about how she dressed slobbily and having to assert that she didn't owe anyone a display of skin, so that Renee could be comfortable and unquestioned running up and down the catwalk in front of 10,000 people. How iconic.
And I don't think we even realised at the time how much something as simple as letting Billie dress the way she as a (then-) 17-year-old teenager dressed, could end up meaning for a future generation of women in music.
Obviously there is still way to go, there were weirdos complaining about how 'plain' Dua Lipa's Glastonbury outfit was this year (in 2024!!), l have to ask, are you at Paris Fashion Week?? She is the musical HEADLINER of an entire day of music at one of the biggest music festivals in the world, and you can't grant her the space to exist as an artist, you have to moan about her dress not being excitingly revealing enough. There's work to do, it's still dismal out there. But the space Billie Eilish has created for a most ordinarily-dressed woman popstar is still heartening.
#music#rambling away; I'll log off#man. I remember how on the other hand when I was going to my first ever gig my guitar teacher said to me#notice how plainly he's dressed? No frills. His music speaks for himself.#(The musician in question was Slash and apart from his very recognisable hat and sunglasses; he was wearing a plain white t-shirt with a#minnie mouse graphic print in the centre. I think sometimes about how not even women in rock music are afforded that.#Like this is a thing across genres#With the exception of Franz Ferdinand for whom Alex has actually said in interviews that they treated FF gigs as nights out#and so dressed like they'd be dressed for a club night out--#most other guy bands are like *picked a tee off the floor*#whereas the girls in bands I've seen-- even literally just local musicians-- the girls in our local rock bands feel compelled to#dress like it's graduation day#Like we had this really cool local band-- singer's a girl in second year of uni#keeping up with the fact that they were playing like RHCP and Muse covers on stage; fast stuff--#she was up there in a delicate dress and heels and stomping across stage n all#and the rest of her band; dudes; were quite comfortable in their t-shirts#like of course she made a choice herself and was more than capable of stomping in heels--I mean I've seen Phoebe from Lambrini Girls#JUMP OFF a 5-ft platform stage while wearing 3-inch block heels. And in a party dress!#But then again Lambrini Girls genuinely are freaks of nature and I envy anyone who's going to see them open for Amyl & the Sniffers rn#bc that's an EXPLOSIVE combo. Nonetheless. I was saying.#Part of it certainly comes from a normalisation of just superhuman strength; balance + praying there's no malfunction with your skirt#which DOES happen at rock shows more frequently than you'd imagine. It's just if you're in a good crowd they'll pretend they saw nothing#but it's certainly more practical to gig in sneakers and trousers lol. From experience!#billie eilish#renee rapp#women in music#pop music#dua lipa#Also like Billies doing it for the pop lesbians#lesbian

ah. has difficulty sleeping then dreams of apocalypse i guess.
#so i uh; fell asleep again;#its all right. it felt very tangible though#piktalk#it was very fictiony in places but that matters little in dreams like that.#for some reason the sky just. stopped working. or started working differently i guess.#you could see every band of every time of day all at once; leaving a sort of faux secondary horizon in the sky.#(i do not do well with seeing the blank night sky; so i did my best not to look.)#the moon was uncomfortably large and vivid; and you could see it from anywhere. you could not see the sun.#evidently; they were preparing to use a large weapon in case anything could be shot at. we were in the range; so we had to go.#it was mostly everyone in what i assume to be a college dorm scrambling to get their stuff and leave.#by the time i got everything a lot of people had already gone. but we drove off anyway.#it got dark like evening; then even darker past that. my phone lost service and all we had was blind trust in the gps.#nobody else was on the road. it was very quiet. i didnt want to ask how long we had; so it stayed quiet.#it felt important actually; that id left something important behind accidentally.#i was very sad about it; but it felt very concrete. didnt feel like playing or imagining. there was this thought of#'well we wanted a fresh start didnt we? i guess thisll be it.' which felt; feels; very important somehow.#i do think its a little funny though. said weapon from earlier was called justitia. implied to be a pale blue bird.#not really literally. it was still implied to essentially be a nuke. it just looks like a bird from far away.#so. huh. goodmorning.

Me, emerging from the notes app, headphones tangled around my neck, hair matted with dried blood as I cough and drag myself across the room with broken fingers:
I have finished the song.
#emmett speaks#the punk band guys asked me to put lyrics to a song they'd already recorded#do you KNOW how DIFFICULT it is to put words onto an already completed song that FIT with the changes on a 6 syllable count!?#and when the SECOND GUITAR steals the most prominent melody line at the exact point when the singing usually begins????#oh dear GOD I hope they like the lyrics#there were some ... creative choices that I had to use to maintain the rhyme scheme and the theme I'd set up#and all with no direction#just a “do your thing man”#hopefully things are easier if they like my stuff and we collaborate in the future with some actual back and forth give and take etc

thanks for tagging me @4thbrighteststar
rules: shuffle your On Repeat and let people pick their favorite from the first five songs!
here goes fingers crossed y'all get normal songs
lemme tag @igarbagecannoteven @allsassnoclass @kaleidoscopeminds @burstingsunrise anddd @daydadahlias
(commentary on each song under the cut)
wish you were sober: i had a moment with this song several years after everyone else did
chemicals: had a moment with this ALBUM.
stuttering: god okay i don't know WHY this is still on my on repeat except for, i assume, that every time it plays when i listen to my on repeat it self-reinforces its position. i WAS listening to it, and them, a lot, back when i saw them live earlier this year, no shame, but its time is frankly up
kissinginacarcrash: surprised to find this on here! i'm studying for a telltale concert im going to with my friend. this is one of their better songs imo
bet on it: ...i was afraid this would happen. my sister and i jammed out to all three hsm soundtracks on a long drive earlier this week. there is nothing like belting out bet on it and scream in a car with your sister. so then i kept listening to those two songs. scream is also in fact on this playlist right now.
#jeez some SEVERE underrepresentation of women on my on repeat these days#i just checked. six out of thirty are songs by women#one of those is fleetwood mac but i think that counts#or at least half counts#i do think bet on it showing up is really funny though#it is such an actual banger#even if every time i hear it or watch that scene i just think of that one video that overlaid let it go from frozen onto the scene#and it fit perfectly#poll#stuff#my polls#tag games#okay two songs after the last one in the poll finally a song by a woman plays lmao#mona lisa by mxmtoon! also a song from a concert#she opened for ajr and she was SO cute and fun to watch#and i like her voice and vibe a lot#like i had only listened to a little bit of her music but just from watching her energy onstage i was like id love to see her again#anyway!!! thanks for the game team#just from looking at these options i will be shocked if bet on it doesnt win#like. the jack and jack x 5sos audience crossover is minimal#the telltale audience is inherently small bu virtue of them being a very small band#ehhh i guess conan could come out on top#but come on everyone loves to vote hsm

Wow… my emotional support rock stars really did heal my soul yesterday afternoon. This is the first day in almost a week I’ve felt semi-human, and just that feels like worlds of improvement
#Insanitypost#a lot of stuff that’s piled up over the past few weeks sort of precipitated out… and endometriosis symptoms kicked up#nearly passed out in lab on Tuesday -even though it was a fun surgery lab I got to do with a different partner than my main lab group#just physical and mental exhaustion to where I was barely holding on in lecture… and I had yesterday afternoon off without anything booked#I have an exam on Monday and I meant to study but I just ended up watching band videos in bed all afternoon#Squeeze… Styx… Crowded House… Supertramp… The Moody Blues… a few other bands too that I haven’t gotten as close with#I actually felt physically better -and didn’t feel like crying when my main lab partners bullied me in lab again today#and to think I was once *discouraged* from ‘obsessing’ over my hyperfixations

i like that they view the songs and performance as one because again, the reason im here to begin with is because i wanted to watch cool dancing that fit my taste and they did the trick, and then i loved their music so v much. but i do wish they viewed their music as stand alone too <3 they have intense and intricate dances that they're not gonna be able to do once they hit their later years (if they're still together) so its like -.- look out for our own backs boys, pls
#theres certain songs of theirs that i Have to dance to when they come on so in that sense i too view them as one but BUT!!!!!!!! music is#music. you won't always get to hear it live. some bands sound great live but suck in the studio that's just how things can be and vice vers#i fear that a lot of kpop doesn't think long term in the sense of musical longevity. they're looking for the next big song to make money of#of and i understand that's how the industry runs but! wouldn't you like to be able to listen to your own stuff as a group later on and thin#'we had a really solid discography. let me put this on'#things should be able to live on even outside of their context in my opinion and i hope they're considering that#i guess which was my concern for 5 star being a summer album rather than a For Us album#but honestly with this intro vid im actually feeling more confident about how homey it feels? like they're playing on home turf with this#album if they know it might not go down well with some fans. they know exactly the risk they're taking and they can do it because its an#album for them and for the fans#longwinded much.........................#<3

#listen I think I have a right to experience A Lot of annoyance over all this because I had to see ‘criticisms’ like that so often#this is a particularly hilarious one the same level as the people complaining about Daisy and Billy being the only ones on the Aurora cover#(there are changes with the shoot but them being the only two on the cover is the same as in the book lmao ya’ll can not read apparently#‘it’s an insult to the message of the book because it’s supposed to be the whole band on the cover and not just the Billy and Daisy show uw#you are talking about the scene in the book where the entire band in interview is mad/bitter about how they ended up going with only DB#on the cover even years later while Daisy and Billy in their interviews gush over how gorgeous and iconic the cover featuring just them is#like … ya’ll are conflating a general sentiment those chars were allowed to express with what the actual scene was grrr#it’s one of the best funniest parts of the book too like I love that part…#and if the complaint was ‘I’m sad the other interviews weren’t as extensive at that part in the show’ totally would be valid crit to me#I would have liked them to show everyone reacting in interviews too (they did show them esp Eddie be unhappy about it but#your right there wasn’t as much specific exploration in the show of how the side chars were effected. But they’re still side chars with sid#plots in the book lol#also only Karen actually deserves to be explored as a char the rest I’m more than fine with getting less and then instead investing far mor#in developing Simone’s plot and arc.)#there’s stuff with Graham I do think could have been useful/worth while thematically if they’d had the 13eps and could do it all (and I’m a#Graham hater xd) but I certainly wouldn’t prioritize it over the things the show did focus on#and it’s not remotely high on my list of things they didn’t focus on as much as I wanted. ofc#in fact like I said… I thought it was so funny they did not gaf about the Dunne brothers relationship 😭#like it is an interesting dynamic in the book there are good scenes. but I’m obsessed with their choice to not give anything to any of#Billy’s dynamics that aren’t the love triangle points and Teddy. respectable af#vs Daisy and to a lesser extent Camila both have way more developed dynamics outside of him incred#(another reason ‘they made Daisy and Camila center around Billy’ crit makes me roll my eyes#like in the sense that the love triangle is elevated in terms of focus sure. and people are free to have qualms about that choice#basically saying the show prioritized the romance for the characters and char work is accurate. saying they did that more for the girls and#less for Billy idk what show you were watching

by no means do i regret cutting off my dad but. sometimes i remember experiences with him that are so novel i wouldnt ever replace them. specifically i am thinking about how he’d play this country song sometimes that i have no idea how he found about gay interracial cowboys in love. i never asked him about it. i think about it often
#kibumblabs#chorus was like ‘interracial cowboyyy homo kinda love’ or something like that#my dad’s music taste was like. the most unpredictable thing on earth. in the most autistic way possible. it’s so hard to explain#and I still have no idea how he came across 90% of the music he’d listen to#I know when most people think of listening to music Autistically they think of an extremely predictable music taste where you listen to one#thing/band/genre/etc on repeat for however long and nothing else#but. the thing is. my dad didn’t NOT do that. his music taste was weird as hell and all over the place but it came in waves where he’d#listen to solely the same few songs or same artist or whatever for a few weeks and then eventually his focus would switch to something else#and he’d only listen to THAT for a few weeks and so on and so on. sometimes old stuff would come up again in a wave as well and#yeah you get it. occasionally he’d REALLY like a song and then he’d legit play it over and over again#specifically thinking of one time he got like. obsessed with moon river (the breakfast at tiffanys version I think?) and would play it#quite literally on a continuous loop on the house living room/kitchen speaker system and i think I was doing homework at the kitchen table#(wasn’t allowed to do it in my room cause my parents didn’t trust me) and was like. uh. dad. this is getting kind of annoying#and now that I think about it. I don’t think he stopped. at least not because of Me. i don’t remember when he stopped or if I just went#upstairs eventually if I finished my work. but yeah good god is my father autistic. he may not want to admit it but im pretty sure he knows#he is at least to SOME degree (my mother is a psychologist. i don’t think he could avoid it being pointed out at least a few times)#(he’s just prideful and stubborn and likes thinking that’s just the way he is and it’s not Pathological or blah blah blah idk. he knows.)#anywho. on the topic of things my dad would do that in hindsight ive realized are Very Autistic of him- he’d get annoyed sometimes if I sang#along to songs he’d play in the car because he wanted to ‘actually hear the song’ and yes first of all: dickish thing to say to a kid. but#the fact he didn’t realize that + now putting together that it probably had to do with having two sounds overtop one another in a#possibly irritating way… yeah. sounds like an autism thing. which I guess is kinda redeeming cause it means he wasn’t just being a TOTAL#asshole. still an asshole nonetheless but at least I sort of get it and get the feeling#cant blame him for having Autism Moments. can blame him for avoiding diagnosis or at least acknowledgement of it and never even remotely#attempting to keep his more maladaptive behaviors in check

Garying my Oak once again for this recap comic
#“Been getting real into the Nuvantics as of late–” *hangs up*#if Nuvantics was a band IRL it'd be the victim of being called “redflags male manipulator” music or whatever#so sad this actual exchange never happened in the fic because he'd be all up his ass over that band#“Ash...what era?” “Oh they have eras? I never knew that LOL!” “So...do you like the more metal direction they had back in U or like...the#stuff they had going on towards the end of their discog–“ ”OOH that stuff released in V7 I think was real tight–oh yeah and I do like the#more metally stuff where he's all like 'ALL IN ALL WE DESERVE THE FALL WE DESERVE TO HEAR TOSHINMAC'S CALL–' man Jake's dad sure is amazing!#Why–“ *fucking hangs up again* ”GOD DAMNIT NOW I REALLY LOST HIM!!!“#spadeposting#nnyways I decided song of the day should be Even Flow cuz it reminds me of the jesus slateboard video which reminds me of that one scene#from XY that got censored cuz they legit thought it looked way too much like Ash getting crucified#also this song is in an Ash playlist I'm building cuz I think he'd fw 90s grunge and punk stuff at least#sp renegade#WIP#Spotify

”Man I loved being in band, the environment was so supportive”- guy who just remembered the one time that his chronic pain had flared up so bad that he could taste blood and literally had to stay home from school one day and during band practice he sat down because whenever he stood for too long he got so dizzy he couldn’t think and his band director came over to him and lectured him about how he wasn’t trying hard enough and she had thrown up three time that day and she was still doing her job so he didn’t have an excuse.
#Ma’am you were a grown woman who was getting paid to be there and I was a teenager who chose to be in your class and had been in#Constant excruciating pain nonstop for the past 2 days#We are not the same#Another time I got in trouble for ticing at attention and when I was talking to someone else in guard about it her response was#“Well you’re going to have to learn to control that sooner or later” like ????? Do you not know what tics are?????#BY DEFINITION I can’t control them#But WHATEVER#Our bd also chose the FRESHMAN who had run me out of guard like a petty chihuahua to be color guard captain over me#I’m actually kind of grateful for that last one because it gave me the chance to look at my situation and realize it was time to leave#Band was the only thing holding me to that school so knowing I could quit that helped me make the decision to move schools#BUT STILL#WHAT THE FUCK????#In out bd’s defense she didn’t know all the stuff that the other person was doing but that’s because I thought I was going to captain#(Because I was a rising senior and the most experienced person there) and could have handled it when I had an official leadership role#And I didn’t want to seem petty by going to an adult about a dumb social interaction#I hit my head at winter guard practice the other day and they made me sit down for 30 minutes to make sure I didn’t have a concussion and m#only thought was “Wow [old director] would never let me do this”#The guard instructor was very concerned when I told her that lol
