Tim I noticed a lot of indigenous patches on your jacket, are you Native?

Idk what my dad was 'cause I never knew him, but yeah my mom is (or... Was.. I guess..) Muscogee, the tribe native to the part of Alabama I'm in.

If I remember correctly she came to Alabama from Oklahoma (where a lot of Natives were displaced to in the 1800s) to "get back to her roots."

But yknow, I was separated from her in childhood (which tbh is upsettingly common for Native families) and I was raised in a very white very Catholic asylum so I'm not as connected to the culture as I'd like to be.

#OOC: Olea speaking #this is kind of a self-indulgent headcanon but HEAR ME OUT it adds a lot to Tim's character specifically #we're talking about a character who was separated from his mom in childhood and locked up in a psych ward #suffers from chronic physical and mental illness made significantly worse by the institution that was supposed to be helping him #forced to regulate his emotions more than other people have to so he isnt misinterpreted as a threat #struggles with addiction #had to work twice as hard as anyone else in his friend group just to be given the same opportunities #a much more common experience inside BIPOC communities #and he clearly has ties to the land (especially the park) nobody else has #you know how in season 2 Alex starts yapping to Jay about how the park is cursed?#maybe he was right #maybe that *thing* has been here for hundreds of years #and nobody was ever able to settle the land so eventually the Department of Conservation turned it into a state park #and Tim isnt some random “patient zero”#but he has ancestral ties to the land and was more receptive/at risk to Operator Sickness (but was also more resistant to it long term)#JUST SAYIN 👀#im half Katu and I desire my comfort character to be a halfie with me we need more non-white rep in mh #ask.txt #marble hornets #mh #tim wright #afterlife au #slenderverse #Native!Tim
