#lily aint native

[theespeakerboxxx]

now to set the mood of this blog... i've been wondering how lily's setup looked, so heres my artistic interpretation!

[theespeakerboxxx]

lily all you have to do is research the topic and formulate an opinion on it! you don't have to be native and or live on a reservation to say shit!!!

the question was more-so asking why do you think theres so much alcoholism on reservations.

maybe it's because natives are an oppressed group, being shit on by the government and others as a whole. and they're turning to other means of coping because that's what helps them the best? i just have a feeling you don't want to comment on native subjects that don't relate to you.

or maybe...you don't want to speak on this because you know that some people who suffer turn to coping with drugs, and you dont wanna defend them!?

all jokes aside i did do research! my opinion came from common sense and a couple minutes of research, gah damn its that easy!

and you're not displaced lily, you've said before that you think reservations are shit and you never wanna set foot near/live in one. if you didn't lie your story would be straight

[Lily's Post]

Well that's funny coming from the person who earlier today said:

"I have not met a single person who uses drugs harder than tobacco who wasn't an abusive piece of dog shit with clear dependency issues."

So I get asked to do a tattoo blog ALOT, and while I don’t see myself as tattooed enough to warrant one – all of y’all do, so here we go.

My first tattoo, the one considered to be the ‘gateway’ tattoo.

My first tattoo! I drew myself, mistakes and all when I was 17, and my best friend Hannah treated me to it on my 18th birthday and she got the same tattooed on her other arm. Best friends 5eva. So no underage tattoos here guys! Not for lack of trying…>:)

Now, if I HAD got tattooed underage, I can honestly say I would have been lumped with a monstrosity for life – I drew up my own design of a trad style anchor, with two swallows either side – doesn’t sound that bad right? Well I wanted it in traditional garish colours, and no where other than my lower abdomen. Let’s just say thank fuck for tattoo artists who check ID and don’t just ‘take my word for it, my mum said I’m allowed one and I’m deffo 18.’

I had the tattoo bug from a very early age, didn’t help that we were regulars at festivals like The Bulldog Bash – a motorbike, music and booze festival run by the Hells Angels,  which happened to be a stones throw from our front door. My other best pal Naomi, got her first tattoo there, underage ! And it was me who got called the bad influence!!

Anyway, I fucking love art, so much so I wanna be the art. Is that so strange?

My next tattoo was on a whim, with an old friend of mine in London, we filled up on chocolate vodka, decided to get ‘matching’ hand tattoos and she ended up with an ace of spades, while I ended up with a tiny anchor that has since spread so much it needs explaining every time I show it. Scratcher tattoos, for the win!

On my right hand, a tiny anchor tattoo sits on my finger! Yes, that is an anchor.

  My third tattoo, and my first proper learning curve, was that some tattoo artists don’t just ‘know’ what you want! I was besotted with Valerie Vargas style tattoos at this point, having just discovered her work in several tattoo mags, and so when Ryan and I booked a day session I showed the guy a picture I liked and said ‘I want something like that, please.’

19 years old, and shy AF, he showed me a stencil briefly and slapped it on my upper arm, I have a mole on that arm (about where your TB jab might be) and he’d positioned the design – that I’d hardly seen – so the lady’s face had a huge mole on it!

I asked if he could move it, and he scrubbed my arm roughly and moved the stencil. By now I’d seen the design and it wasn’t what I wanted. Feeling too rude to say so and ask for a new one to be drawn up, I sat through an hour or so knowing I hated my tattoo.

Here’s the lesson I have since learnt…

TATTOOS DON’T FUCKING COME OFF! 

They are on you FOR LIFE.

That is what you are paying for. A permanent mark. A permanent design that you will look at – FOREVER. If you don’t like it – speak up ! A tattoo artist doesn’t want you to be unhappy! They want you to love your art, on paper, and on skin. It’s their job, and generally – their passion too. Communicate! Be specific, your artist will want to work with you to get an end product you are happy with living with, and they are happy scarring you with.

So yeah, here she is, and she’s remained untouched since that fateful day. Sorry hun.

A few centuries later, had a spell of homelessness, living on the dole and finally getting our acts together and adding to the clan – Lily was born. And upon her ejection, it was time for another tattoo.

I got my second and third finger tatts on Ryan and I’s anniversary, so as an ode to my two loves of my life, I opted for a heart for Ryan (hint hint, I would like a ring) and an L for…Loopy Lily the First. This is one of those photos that at the time I thought was beautiful and now she is grown look back on and think ..urgh Potato Child.

Sorry babe, you are beautiful now.

On maternity leave and with money and time to kill, the arm began to fill up. This was done at Dust n Bones Tattoo in Plymouth, by lovely Robin!

Brightened up the peg something chronic!

Then! Fate struck, and two ‘brummies’ immigrated to Looe one fine day in 2017, (infact, TODAY! Two years ago!)   Ryan noticed a shop being refit whilst on a job, and Lo! The Vault in Looe came into our lives, bringing with it two of the best people ON THE PLANET. Melanie Allen (then Bates!) and Cat Allen. We even made them a song. But let’s not go off on that tangent.

Ironically, most of our friends in Cornwall are not Cornish natives, not sure if that says more about Cornwall being The Place To Be, or if it means Cornish folks are…weird AF.

Anyway! Ryan went in, introduced himself (and me, although I was none the wiser a friendship egg was being laid.) And booked himself in for a hand tatt. Long story short – we go there for all our tattoos now, I recommend them to everyone I know – even Aussies, y’never know when one may be visitin’. And frankly, if anyone else were to touch me with a needle I’d feel like I was cheating.

In 2018, Mel and Cat invited us to be part of their wedding, and we were blessed with being a part of their happiest ever day – what an honour!

The hand tattoo that started it all, and our place settings at M & C’s wedding!

And so, here are several tattoos laid upon me by the one and only Catherine Rope Head Allen.

Crystal Ball, the runes mean success, luck all that kinda shit.

Friday 13th tattoo, lucky ol’ 13! Ryan got one too, and he tattooed one on Cat!

A birthday tattoo, and yes I drank tea as it was stabbed into me!

My finger tattoos, and not to sound like a pussy but these are up there with most painful tattoo! I love Cat but when she tattoos me sometimes I’d like to punch her.

One for the Foot Fetishers

Oh, my most recent tattoo is the swallow on my foot, and I nearly forgot to mention my own mishaps – tattooing ‘Love Hate’ on my toes on Christmas day, probably not my greatest idea, but it was funny at the time. And what’s life for, if not for laughing.

Another ‘home job’ a sugar skull on my thigh. Hurt like fuck and Ryan did a line too. A blurry photo honestly does it justice.

  The rest of my arm, a crescent moon which was done by Robin at Dust N Bones, which i got ‘cus I liked it. (Life aint always deep and meaningful!) and then following a few successes with my blog and writing in general I got a writing hand, with the word ‘Mother’. This was my own design and tattooed by the wonderful Cat! It actually covers over some scars which was pretty poignant – like making an ugly reminder of a hard time into something that I am proud of and truly self-made. I’ve done well since that period of life, and now whenever I see my arm I am reminded of it.

Lucky Horseshoe – Freshly done! This tattoo was a nod to my first love Amy (RIP), Also Ryan tells me I am supernaturally lucky (that’s true!) and he recently got a tattoo that said ‘Fuck Luck’. So its an ode to being a ying/yang. He’s unlucky, but I’ve got enough luck for the both of us.

Excuse the shite photo, but have you ever tried to take a photo of the bottom of your arm?! This piece was just a gap filler I decided on, on the day. Super bright and colourful dagger and rose.

So… I THINK that is it! Theres another anchor on my ankle, stabbed into me, by me. It’s not too bad actually! I’ve got another tattoo booked this weekend – so we will have to wait and see what that is!! I’m sure I’ll document it all on Instagram…so be sure to check that out! ( @Rocknrollmother_)

I’ve popped a link in above to The Vault’s Facebook if you wanna have a nosy at Cats most brilliant work – I am not the greatest advert for her amazing talent. Their Instagram is here.

That said! A few of you asked for more tattoo blogs, so there will be more to come! Watch this space for a walk through of Ryan’s tattoos! (Wayyyy more interesting than mine) And tattoo etiquette – a guide to getting your first, third or the rest of your tattoos! Etc. If there’s anything you’d like to read, drop a comment or message on my social media.

Thankyou for reading, I hope you enjoyed it (:

My Tattoos! So I get asked to do a tattoo blog ALOT, and while I don't see myself as tattooed enough to warrant one - all of y'all do, so here we go.

[theespeakerboxxx]

"Waah! I got disconnected from my culture!" You're in your thirties, Lily. You are free to get reconnected! You just choose not to.

it's honestly incredibly easy for lily to reconnect with her culture. hell, canada has a high population of indigenous people, and there's tons of reservations where she lives too!

but as we know, she thinks all reservations are dangerous war zones, doesn't speak to other indigenous people and doesn't make an effort to "reconnect" to her culture

she can't reconnect when there isn't a connection to begin with. and no, that shitty dream catcher her mom brought back home is not enough...she has the same problem as lily where she thinks shes native too so...lol

[theespeakerboxxx]

why does lily pretend to be american when her prime minister and her have a lot more in common?

[theespeakerboxxx]

Real

Let me remind y’all she only picked up this “I’m indigenous” title because

1. If people criticize her, she can fall back on the “they hate brown women” excuse. Which is like…ok girl whatever helps you sleep at night lmao

2. She learned it from her mother, who would sit in the sun for hours with cooking oil on her skin to get a brown tan. You don’t have to be brown to be indigenous mind you. It’s all just a costume to her

3. She sexualizes black and brown women to a hefty extent, and it doesn’t just stop at fictional ones.

While it’s humane to respect someone’s identity, because we’re all humans at the end of it all, lily is not indigenous! She doesn’t care about us or what we stand for!!! Stop feeding her fucked up delusions

Tell me one time lily has brought up black/brown people without indulging herself in the topic like the narcissistic she is. You can’t!

I haven't come out this strong on this subject before, and I don't think any other first nations/indigenous people have yet but I'm honestly getting tired of this.

Calling Lily Orchard Indigenous, Native, First Nations, etc, is ACTIVELY racist.

You are calling a white woman a racial identity she has no right to be called. Stop indulging her. You are part of the problem. Pretendians are an active threat to the indigenous community, especially ones as racist and vitriolic as Lily.

[theespeakerboxxx]

Aw Lily wants to be indigenous so bad it's actually adorable

I bet she doesn't even understand native slang

of course she doesn't understand native slang. she doesn't wanna set foot near native reservations or even speak to a native person. i wonder why though if she wants to reconnect with her culture?

it's just another shield she picked up to hide behind her batshit crazy behavior haha, she's been using her gender identity as a deflect though more than being indigenous so maybe she's given up, but that's not stopping me until she removes that brown makeup off her character

[theespeakerboxxx]

It's great to see someone focusing on her fetishism of brown women especially with the way she sexualizes herself while claiming she's native to appear more 'exotic

oooh girl don’t get me started

fetishizers play pretend with ethnicities they fetishize aaall the time… I mean, how can we call her racist when she’s literally cherokee guys! My bad

i can’t find the post atm, but she also mentioned not wanting to watch utena because it has “too much brown girl suffering” … let me guess, pocahantas is her favorite Disney movie too?

i learned my great grandparents were actually cherokee from a secondhand source (my grandma) with actual documentation and photos, but you don’t see me using it as a criticism deflection 😭

also: indigenous people don’t have to be brown. They come in all colors, so her focusing on the brown part is HILARIOUS! her peepaw ain’t brown either, so where’s this coming from?

[theespeakerboxxx]

if you guys couldn’t tell, I only joined the Lily Amtrak because nothing infuriates me more than white women with kim kardashian levels of fetishism

homegirl is hiding behind her obvious fetish for black/brown women by gaslighting herself into thinking she is one

it’s a shame she and her fans didn’t hound me like they do all her other critics, maybe because ethnically im what she wants to be?

but then again i don’t take myself too seriously because this is the type of nigga I’m up against

[theespeakerboxxx]

I'm someone with roughly same amount of Cherokee heritage as Lily and I think she's just abusing their amount counts tbh. She's embarrassing to watch boast about her indigenous heritage with no support towards the Cherokee nation or other indigenous groups. The bare minimum she could do is at least mention indigenous groups in need of support but fuck them I guess. Everything is about her.

oh yeah! Let’s talk about that

statistically, indigenous women and children go missing in North America than any other ethnic group in the US, and Canada has their own history with the mistreatment of indigenous people til’ THIS day

most reservations are declining in quality because of American and Canadian governments not investing their funds well enough into them, causing them to go into disrepair

but lily would rather talk about other American issues she’s completely oblivious to because she doesn’t live here, doesn’t understand the political climate, and DEFINITELY doesn’t understand what actual ethnic people (brown, lgbt, black, etc) have to go through HERE

doesn’t this all make sense when remembering she’s really close with her redneck American wanna-be brother who’s also conservative. Idrc what stance you take politically, but it’s interesting lily is cold chillin with someone whose views contradict hers and who’s also an American wannabe.

this shit is so cringe no matter how you spin it, fake progressive people suck the life out of me.

[theespeakerboxxx]

Generally I don’t agree with the idea that if you aren’t in xyz group you shouldn’t talk about issues pertaining to that group but goddamn, Lily really needs to shut the fuck up whenever the conversation turns to race. She’s a capital W White Woman from Canada for god’s sake.

personally speaking people should only speak on racial matters when theyre educated on the subject

lily is like michael rapaport, pretending that she understands the struggles and the inner workings of black and brown culture but in reality is a culture vulture that cherry picks what she likes and doesn't like about said culture

the only time lily has talked about race is when it benefits her.

indigenous people? the conversation always steers back to her and how people hate her for "being brown" and how she hates being oppressed and colonized.

black people? it's all about the women and herself. she uses her black oc as a token character to garner brownie points from totally real black women claiming she writes her black character well, when the only way to write a black character well is to write them like anyone else

lily has never spoken about indigenous people going missing/being murdered in the U.S. and Canada, never talked about hundreds of black people losing their lives due to police brutality, promoting indigenous/black stores and cartoons, this that and the third

she only brings up race when its about her and its headache inducing. i guess consuming incestuous, pedophilic rape media is easier than picking up a book and educating yourself on black and brown people huh lily :P

[theespeakerboxxx]

Even just promoting indigenous people's shops/crafts/etc would be help but again, her ego won't let her think about anyone but herself. I feel genuinely uncomfortable with her just using heritage as a shield from well earned criticism

i dont think ive ever seen lily promote anything from a group she belongs to

actually nvm, she's promoted a boatload of incestuous media, so that counts for something right? / j

all jokes aside tho youre right, she only talks about herself, even when it comes to her critics she never takes the time to reflect on herself, they're always 100% in the wrong somehow

[theespeakerboxxx]

I don't know if it was ever archived, but shortly after Lily's started using the first human puppet, she received an anon along the lines of "why is your avatar an (indigenous slur I don't remember)?" to which she responded "a what?" and later reblogged the post to call them out, having apparently googled the term. I think she also made fun of them for using the wrong ethnic slur.

As a Lily fan at the time, I thought it was weird that the anon clocked that her puppet was indigenous, which to me just looked vaguely white-ish. That was how I found out she IDed native.

Now knowing her documented history of making imaginary racists to fend off, it makes a lot more sense.

oh my days where do I begin

let’s say an anon really did feel like being a luh racey to lily for some reason right

why would they immediately jump to the conclusion that she’s indigenous? white people can be tan, and brown people aren’t just all indigenous

i whole heartedly believe lily self-asked this. she likes to seem progressive by battling projections of herself either through anonymous messages and or sock puppets (ex. Terra Callie)

still, very weird and EXTREMELY distasteful. do you know how bored and mentally fucked up you have to be to fake being called a redskin or smnth along those lines, esp when you’re as white as parchment paper?

[theespeakerboxxx]

OMGGG lily just got to the part in her rant video where she called herself an indigenous woman, my eye twitched so bad...

how did she spin the block on her bullying the shit out of her coworkers to guilt tripping her viewers by saying she got colonized and is disconnected from her culture?

stop using your raceplay fetish as a shield for when people call you out rightfully on your shit...youre a damn white lady pick yourself up and have some respect for the actual indigenous people that actually struggle

also her saying "i wouldnt call myself racist but"- is some insane work HAHA. that should never be followed up with a "but"

and also her saying "im making my space friendly for people of color" ...nahhhh im good you can keep it the way it is, i dont want anymore of my people being associated with you jerking it to black and brown torture porn. also poc is such an idiotic term but i wont get into that here

btw lily, please stop sending self asks about a "black woman" praising you for writing a black female character. you're a racist, a liar, and you associate yourself with sneakytaffer, who says nigger off the cuff and your brother...your brother...

[theespeakerboxxx]

hello my pookies i've made a tag on my blog called

lily ain't native

going through here, you can see the discussion of lily's racism, and her fetishism around indigenous people! have fun

[theespeakerboxxx]

As someone who does live on a reservation I know for a fact she will get dunked on and scolded if she were to go to one "Boohoo! people on the reserve are so mean bacause I said something stereotypical and basically insulted them but I'm the victim they clearly aren't real indigenous people😔"

oooh i just knowww ppl on the reserve would get sick of lily, that's probably another reason why she hasn't been to one. she cant handle criticism irl because she cant hide behind a block button or have her fans bite their heads off for her

if lily got checked by an actual indigenous person irl, in a reservation, she'd go into shock
