Honestly though, being serious with all the Kate and William theories and rumors going on, I do hope their kids are doing okay and will come out of this fine, because it cannot be easy for the kids to be stuck in the middle of all this.
#like those kids are always getting dragged into shit somehow and its unfair on them#the media's obsession with harry and meghan? the kids get dragged in via media acting like its a crime they wont be able to see their#cousins who are in america#the fact that george is heir? yeah media definitely talks about that or did anyway before kate's current shit#louis acting up a little at a game with kate? yeah media reported on that too and gave potential spare treatment..if louis was second anywa#but thats charlotte who at best at least doesnt get the media focusing too much on her#but then you see those photos of her around andrew and you just feel sick to your stomach#because william and kate actually used their kids just to try and make andrew look good#putting them at risk as a result around him#and like right now they dragged into blackout mode with kates parents cause of the kate stuff#but its still a big deal that william is apparently taking care of them....when he seems very busy with other stuff but that just me seeing#that and seeing the media not jump on him like they do harry and meghan#and now you got the kate and william stuff and just if william did do something it wont be good for the kids#so its just hoping they get out of this shit okay really as they still kids at the end of the day

A Mistress of Whispers: Queer Histories of Essosi Witches and their Westerosi Patronessess; written by Maester Ellard
-> Chapter Six: The Winds of Winter: Catelyn Stark and Samaira of Lys
What if Brown Ben Plumm was a sexy widowed witch mom who became besties with a High Born Lady, in this case Catelyn Stark, as Essosi gentleladies are known to do? Or well Brown Ben Plumm’s cousin, anyways-
The Walder Frey pictured here is in fact Big Walder Frey, of “murdering Little Walder Frey” fame. Humfrey Hightower, Joy Penrose, Viserys Plumm, and everyone in Catelyn’s house hold & court are canon characters. Except for Teora, who is on the Northern map bc Jocelyn Stark was her grandma. There are some husbands missing but idc about them.
arya to myranda: if you’re one of the first men how come you’re white?
sansa: seven hells arya you can’t just ask people why they’re white.
Chapter Index for the book
Cruel Bedfellows: Tyanna of Pentos, Alys Harroway, and the reign of Maegor Targaryen
The Whore on High Hill: Rhaenyra Targaryen and Mysaria of Lys
Jenny’s Ghost: Duncan Targaryen, Jenny of Oldstones, and The Mysterious Ghost
The Lace Serpent: On Questions About Serala of Myr
The Queen’s Favor: Cersei Lannister and Taena of Myr
The Winds of Winter: Catelyn Stark and Samaria of Lys
The Serpents of Gulltown: Myranda Arryn and Lessella of Norvos
picture maester ellard like
he puts forth a theory that the ghost of high heart was a slave from volantis. he highly suggests something romantic between jenny and her ghost. he implies denys darklyn was a cross dresser - first draft outright stated it but the archmaester said he can’t print that about a westerosi lord, only the essosi ones so he rewrote it to be implied. he does use she pronouns for ellyn. he does not use he pronouns for amalios. he tastefully accuses taena of killing ned, jon arryn, joffrey, and kevan.
#tbc they’re not fucking altho maester ellard thinks ned is a cuck. but ned thinks about robert & is like ‘this seems normal’#rani graphics#asoiaf ocs#this fancasting actually sparked as i was reading the davos chapter & we got the descriptions of the manderlys aksjdj#anyways happy hispanic heritage month to ME i invented latinos in westeros by going ‘global latino belt real?’ and making the rhoynar like.#latino ish. so that freya could be latina. then i justified her family tree backwards from there akskdj#also i threw in young q’orianka kilcher & the girl who played america chavez just for like fun.#it was easy to pick marissa quintanilla & oona chaplin for alyssa blackwood’s daughters but then i was like#‘fuck the royce’s are first men too’ and i gave up aksksk. we all got one red headed cousin.

Just curious, where would you recommend starting genealogy research? I’m mostly curious more than anything, thought I don’t think having Native American lineage is likely for me?
Start by talking to your family and writing down as much info as you can. Names of grandparents, great grandparents, aunts, uncles, whatever you can. Birth dates and places they lived as well.
I do genealogy thru ancestry.com and it's mostly great but I know some people have problems with it. You can get a 2 week free trial and you might be able to get plenty of your tree filled out in that time.
Then, just put in what info you got from your parents, and look for census records. US Census records from 1950 and earlier are public, so start there. I was able to go back to my gg grandfather just thru censuses, and then I was able to find his Dawes card. I have gone back further but the farther back it goes the less reliable anything is. Be wary of anything on ancestry or other sites where the only source is someone else's tree, because people can put whatever they want down and a lot of it is wrong. [For example, on other parts of my tree it's tried to connect me to pocahontas 3 times.]
Ofc this advice doesn't just apply for those looking for native ancestry, it's just general genealogy stuff and it's really interesting for anyone to learn about their ancestors (:
Sorry this might be specific to the US, I'm not familiar with how records work elsewhere.
Good luck!
#asks#id advise against the dna test mostly. its really just a novelty#and its only actual use is in the case of adopted people who can connect to bio family. or otherwise to connect to cousins and such#the dna makeup thing is just a novelty.#specifically for native stuff. dna cannot prove tribal ties at all. genealogy is the only.way to do that#as in the dna test cant tell you youre cherokee. it might say indigenous americas north but not cherokee#also there are many many cases where dna shows native american traces with absolutely no proof of that in the genealogy#which just shows that it kinda guesses#or in some cases people [hello] can have genealogical proof of native ancestry#but have none show up on a dna test. so it cant prove one way or the other#and im kinda tired of people bringing ot up to say 'see they arent native the dna test showed that' when that isnt actually proof#stop trying to legitimize dna when it comes to tribal identity. its entirely not relevant.#reconnecting#i know this isnt specifically native reconnecting but maybe the genealogy info makes it good to have in the tag

My new strategy instead of ignoring people who I know are being racist/bigoted towards me isn’t to ignore them like I have been but to straight up talk their ear off especially in front of thier friends and annoy them because truly when you’re quiet people assume thier own biases are true and they spread it around. I’m gonna be a proud yapper and see how that turns peoples opinions.
#at least this way ppl who were on this fence will see this and call bullshit#it’s crazy how similar yt ppl are throughout the US#the northern states are so bigoted and they pretend it’s based on prestige but like no#you’re just like your cousins in the south#like and if you’re talking like this in front of people they don’t want to be directly rude#but what’s crazy is I’ve identified the three ppl with an issue with me (a blonde girl who feels threatened) that Albanian girl whose doing#everything to pretend her family isn’t Muslim and is a self hating ‘wanting to be American I hate my accent’ weirdo#and this 20 yo who told me and a fucking Latino guy that we know nothing about America and she knows the true America an it’s full of#propaganda and problems.#like smile and wave. smile and wave.

grandma's real bad for my 'don't anger yourself into further digestive disorders' goal
#was on a call and basically said she thinks that they should bring back 6 months military training#'some men just need to get more serious/disciplined... I mean they need to be prepared to defend their country#am i supposed to? I mean women?'#I would rather for the rest of eternity have unserious and even borderline immature men than#Make a single person go through the abusive brainwashing that is military training#That they might come outof with even an inkling of thinking it's okay to kill someone#They're apparently conscripting again??? If that's what they call it#Coming to your house and asking about sons and whatever#First time saying it but thank fuck brother is abroad in america#And uncle and cousin live in germany#Uncle did that bcs it was obligatory then and he came back so... Out of it ig is the word#that he married the first woman he found that's like p cruel just to get tf away from my grandparents#And he moved like 16 hours away and never came back except on holidays#Also they're fucking 50+??? Leave them the fuck alone lol#Just. So mad so mad so mad how brainwashed is this country they think this is ok#And more likely than not what the army the president is arming 'but doesn't threaten anyone!' is planning for#Is further ethnically cleansing ppl who rightfully hate our guts#Just horrified and furious all around

one of my cousins was cracking gender jokes about how I dress when we took my sister and her boyfriend to the mall and it was funny as hell!!! and I have to go back. to america after this?? screaming.
#i hate how american/anglosphere centric definitions of gender have become some kind of weird baseline for all of it#but im not getting into that rn. instead im just. bite maim kill. bc i can't use the actual term i identify with#without spending six hours explaining the class intersection of it#and thats ANNOYING. i want to stay where my cousin will good naturedly give me shit for not wearing certain types of clothes#but like. in a way where its funny. you know. like you get it. i get it it! we both get the subtext#if someone who was not a friend did this in america i'd rip out their kneecaps immediately

Okay, I’m gonna write something.
Miss Le Miestre kicked the church door shut as she jumped to the inside. Two shots followed her in.
“Those connards are back. Barely got away, but this ol girl can still weave like she used to. Please tell me the rest of ya have more than that rifle Madame Reyes carries between ya.”
Miss Reyes spoke up first “Got a Colt in my boot. Same one the knife is strapped to. Draw it to surprise fools who think I’m going for a knife.”
Mr. Darby was the next, he said nothing, simply produced a derringer seemingly out of thin air, and then a stiletto in his other hand.
Mister Mori was the last to say anything.
“I apologize, but I have not had a chance to purchase a gun yet. If I could borrow one from one of you, I’d be quite grateful. I am better with rifles, but I understand if Miss Reyes doesn’t want to give me her rifle”
Miss Reyes handed Mister Mori her rifle before retrieving the revolver from her boot. She then stared directly at Miss Le Miestre and asked one question.
“You got a gun?”
In response, Miss Le Miestre removed her blue longcoat, revealing that beyond her cutlass, she had kept two flintlocks, one with an ivory handle, the other with jet, as well as an imported European revolver.
“I have a handful of guns, I’ll still never get used to those new-fangled revolvers, even if being able to shoot five times before clubbing someone with it is nice.”
Then she drew the revolver in her left hand, grabbing her cutlass with the right as Mister Mori crouched behind a pew and Mr. Darby and Miss Reyes stepped to the side of the door.
Miss Le Miestre stepped towards the door, deciding that she’d insult them in English so they could understand, and shouted to the men outside, all of whom were dressed in old grey uniforms and wore improvised masks.
“I’m coming out ya damned bastards! I’ll make all you regret not giving up when you could, I’ve been making scared little devils like you die since your grandfathers were cabin boys!”
She kicked open the doors, firing her revolver from the hip to make all eight of the men outside take cover. She then ducked back into the church, drew her jet-handled gun, and made ready.
The first of the men stood up from behind a barrel, Mister Mori put a bullet in his head before he’d fully processed what happened. Seconds which felt like hours passed. One of the survivors stuck his repeating rifle above a wagon and started firing, as soon as Mister Mori ducked to avoid the gunfire the four of the men ran down to flank the door while the three left in the street stood with rifles trained to keep their enemies from shooting out the doorway
Only one of the men going to flank made it, Miss Reyes shot two of them from inside the church window hitting both in the gut. And one made the mistake of trying to pull her through the window. She stabbed him with the knife on her belt as he grabbed her gunarm.
That left one man, one overconfident man. He knew he had to shoot Miss Reyes first, and then that rifleman. He knew there was no way the one who had attacked them had reloaded yet, and the limey one didn’t have a weapon.
So he tried just that, before a puff of smoke and the smell of black powder filled the air, and he fell to a weapon nearly a century older than he was.
During all this, Mr. Darby had slipped away out one of the other windows. He slipped back as he jumped from an awning behind the gunmen. He managed to shoot one of the men on the way down before stabbing another in the gut as he stood. The third man had his gun pointed at Mr. Darby in time to make him pause. Another click made the last man standing pause.
“Hey, we got business here, and I see that officer sabre on your belt. Think you can take an old woman in a swordfight? Get done with all this guns business?”
So, the last man standing out down the gun and drew. He figured that he’s more likely to survive this fight than the previous one.
At the same time, the man who fell in the church began crawling along. He knew to fake injury when shot. He’d take care of the rifleman first, a knife to the gut should work and then he’d shoot the vacquero.
Outside, metal clashed, the old pirate falling back into her familiar rhythm, high, low, step together and raise the sword at an angle. Try to cut his shoulder as he swung and missed. Skill was on her side, but her opponent was clearly never trained, he kept holding his saber in two hands, and yanking away when he felt a cut bounce off his guard. This made him an unpredictable brute, and somehow, he was gaining ground.
Inside, things had not gone as planned for the man with the knife. He had kicked the rifle away, and the tapestries that hung meant the gunslinger couldn’t get a good shot, but the rifleman was good up close. He seemed to flow around the knife, even as low as both were. A kick found Mister Mori’s hip, and he fell across a familiar sheath. He rolled backwards as the knife tried to reach his gut. He took the sheath with him. He stood up and faced the man with the knife, both out of reach from the other, hand on the hilt of his sword as his foe stepped forwards
Outside, Miss Le Miestre found herself losing ground, so she stepped back, holding her sword out with one hand to stop her opponent’s advance for but a second. Her opponent swatted the cutlass to the side, but he should have paid attention to the other hand instead.
A loud bang echoed. A blade glimmered silently. Both of the gunmen still standing clutched their guts. One felt immense pain, the other felt nothing even as his blood fell on the church floor. Both fell, one backwards and one forwards. A pirate put her ivory-handled pistol back in her belt, and a samurai put his bronze-hilted sword back in its sheath.
Consider:
Victorian England: 1837-1901
American Old West: 1803-1912
Meiji Restoration: 1868-1912
French privateering in the Gulf of Mexico: ended circa 1830
Conclusion: an adventuring party consisting of a Victorian gentleman thief, an Old West gunslinger, a disgraced former samurai, and an elderly French pirate is actually 100% historically plausible.
#look#Reyes and Darby would get more screen time if I were writing more#and people would have given names#it’s in English 1. because I speak neither Romance languages nor Japanese#also it’s the only language they share#Miss Reyes learned it from other cowhands#Mister Mori learned some English in Japan and a lot of it in San Francisco before heading east#Miss Le Miestre was part of a crew with both English and French and she learned English fairly well because it intimidated Americans better#Mister Darby actually knows French; Japanese; Spanish; and Irish in addition to English#but he thinks it’s best that people who don’t need to know don’t know#his father was minor nobility from Ireland; his mother was a heiress in danger of being dispossessed by male cousins#he lost his titles and turned to theft because he stopped charging rent in the famine and went bankrupt#Miss Le Miestre escaped from a French-speaking plantation when she was 16 and found herself a pirate soon after#she was a privateer until 1830; she was 18; and she kept practicing piracy until she was 24 and has lived as an outlaw for 29 years#Miss Reyes became a vacquero after her home burnt in a lightning storm#She dresses masculine; and is bisexual; she became an outlaw after she shot a judges son for saying she should marry#Mister Mori failed to safeguard someone he was tasked with escorting through dangerous country in Japan#instead of facing the punishment he’d receive he went to America#San Francisco specifically; he left to see if any part of the country treated people better#he became an outlaw because some racist bastard tried to run him out of town with a sledgehammer and got a leg cut off for his trouble#Mister Mori has been here the shortest amount of time; having arrived in 1864#Double action exists in 1865 by the way#just not from American gunsmiths#last note: Darby is a pseudonym; he stopped using his original name when he lost his titles

to be fair you can actively be the faggot america AND the redneck agenda
#not every type of redneck though. only certain ones. like my cousin who cares way too much about fish biodiversity in nebraskan lakes and#also hates the cops. specifically his dickface stepdad joey.#or like my uncle bobby. who once planted meth in said dickfaces bag.#overall these two are not the faggot america but they are a type of redneck that i relate to

trying to find places for my sister and her bf to stay in negros oriental that's close to (redacted) and google is like 'oh? close to negros oriental? how about cebu,' google just because I can see the island from an entirely different island does not mean it is close
#normally we'd all crash with family but with my sister and her bf thats Too Many People#because all of my cousins who have a house also have at least two kids#and my sister's bf has never been out of america and my mom doest want to toss him right into the metaphorical frying pan#u know. like we're all fine with living up in the mountains but my sister and her bf are city people through and through
