Hello!!
First of all, how are you? Secondly, before writing this, make sure you are healthy, not hungry or tired or thirsty. Do not force yourself and have fun! Also, feel free to decline this request if anything is wrong with it ^^ Right, here’s the info!!
My personality:
Imma be honest here, due to my RBF, people tend to think I am scary and introverted but here’s the thing, I do seem scary and serious if I don’t know me well. I am independent, smart, a bit stubborn, very witty, very curious, brutally honest (when needed) and I have a bit of an anger issue but I am very chill most of the time tho. To sum this up, I have a very colourful personality. I can be very serious and quiet, depending on the situation. I am scary when I am quiet, I have been told due to my RBF lol. If you anger me, I will…metally curse you. If you hurt me, I’ll keep that to myself aha. I am emotional behind doors. Oh and I can be gullible.
The level of my independent-ness can get to the “oh I do not need help in handling 5 group assignments“ level. Trust me, it happened once. I am apathetic towards how people think and treat me, It can get to a point I do not care for myself sometimes. Don't worry! I have friends helping me with the problem ^^ BUT, I am very caring if others. I can treat you like my child even if we just met. I will comfort anyone. Fun fact: My studying can go on until 3 am or more…everyday
I have anxiety yeet~ OH OH I know taekwondo!
Am I addicted to coffee and studying? No— i think lmaoo. I play the piano as well as am skilled in archery. My fingers do a lot a of work aha. Drawing, reading and writing are also my hobbies!! I sayy, I am very involved with art! I have been in 2 bands and acted in a play more than 2 times.
I am a fan of BTS but I am not too obsessed. I have a thing for cola and coffee :p I love my jacket…i feel anxious without it sometimes. I also do Cooking!! I love rain and playing in it. Studying or reading or playing the piano when raining makes me feel soo comfortable. I would snuggle in my blanket with tea when it's cold during rain, relaxation~~ MUSIC, I love it. Fav genres? All except any type of country, I can’t vibe with it. My personal favs are classical and rock.
A few things:
I love animals, especially cats and dogs. I use to play rugby and handball. But here’s the good part, I am 159 cm. That’s like 5’2. So I am short. I am a mcyt fan. DanTDM and Stampy were my first minecraft youtubers. I have trust issues but once i trust you, prepare for a lot of fun and sad times with me. I am known to be very interesting lmao. My clothing style? Very comfy stuff. Jacket, t-shirt, sweater ykyk. When I go out I where very simple yet elegant clothes. My aesthetic are grunge, e-girl, dark and chaotic academia.
Okeyh, thats all!! Thank you in advance for doing this!! I really appreciate it. Take care and have a great day!!!
Hellooo <3
I'm pretty good, how about you?? Hope you're taking good care of yourself as well!!!
I'm actually one of your followers and i absolutely adore your bloge, your writings and random posts are very interesting :>
And I really hope you like the matchup.´･ᴗ･`
I match you with....
Masky/ Tim
From the things i know about you, i remember that you're pretty in love with Masky and Hoodie, if I'm right.... so yeah I decided to choose one of the two for you!!! and tbh he's actually a great match for you.
You guys would definitely start with friendship cause Masky has trust issues and it get a lot of time for him to start warming up to literary anyone. And even if you already catched feelings you need to wait for him to confess first unless you wanna end the friendship.
And even if you two are finally in a relationship he's gonna be a control freak for at least a few months or it can be even a year, it depends on how you act as well.
He might asks you questions like "where have you been" "who're you going out with" "who was that", yeah... but like i said these actions will all end, you just need to be patient about it.
Masky is a huge touch starved person, like, when he's not at work and you're around he'll 99% of the time neither hug you from behind, cuddles you put an arm around your neck...etc.
I also need to mention that this guy here has a great ability of memorizing things. Like do you remember once you told him a simple fact about yourself two months ago? You don't? Well he does. This fact can also be used against you sometimes, so you better be careful next time about what you're gonna tell him.
Youre addicted to coffee? So is he! Wherever he's having a insomnia attack and he finds you studying he'll make coffee for the both of you, and this might be one of your favorite moments with him.
Late night drivings also happens alot, Normally after he just finished a mission. You guys having fun silly arguments over choosing a song or him teasing you till you get stomachache out of laughter are also the moments you wish to never end.
Masky will definitely makes you to take breaks, whether if you're studying or doing anything alse he'll bring you food asks you if you drinked enough water today makes sure for you to get enough sleep. Yeah your future in important, but so is your heath.
Imagine yourself and him cuddling on a rainy night, the sound of thunders and him humming a music mix together awhile you're half sleep half awake. it's a heartwarming moment, isn't it?
- I'm so glad you find me- wait! How did you find me?
- You hadn't ask for a cup of coffee for 20 minutes, I knew something was wrong.
- I'm sleepy.
- Go to bed.
- But i wanna talk to you.
- Then don't go to bed.
- But I'm sleepy D:
- I'm gonna kill you.
Sorry i answer this a little late but i hope you enjoyed it, and please tell me your opinion on i you don't mind :>

Lunatic Parade Subaru Sakamaki– (Chapter 2)
[Chapter 1]
Place: ??? (BG black)
Yui: (nng…)
(Huh, what time is it…?)
(Last night, I was having difficulties in sleeping so I couldn’t sleep well…)
(...? Oh no...I can’t move my body…! Bu- but why…!?)
???: ….Zzz
Yui: (Someone...is here...!?)
Place: ホテル•モーントシュタイン 客室 / Hotel • Mortstein,Guest room
Yui: 一Su- Subaru kun!?
(Lemme think? Why’s he sleeping on my bed…!?)
(Could it be I accidentally fell asleep here…? ...Nope, it’s no way…)
Subaru: nnh…
Yui: (Wa- What should I do! He is about to wake up…!?)
*Subaru gets up*
Subaru: ….ah?
Yui: Err...that’s...Good morn- ning?
Subaru: ...Yeah….hm?
That’s, Yo- you!? Uwaa! Why are you here!? *blushing*
Didn’t I warn ye’ not to enter on the other side!?
*Subaru backs off*
Yui: You misunderstood! This is my portion…!
Subaru: Haah!? That’s not一
Yui: Then look! My Rosary is on this bed-side…
Subaru: ……
Yui: (What can I do, he isn’t saying anything…)
*Subaru stops blushing*
Subaru: Oh...I see now...yesterday…
Haah…
Yui: Subaru kun…?
Subaru: ...How’s your health today?
Yui: Eh…? Health? I haven’t felt anything recently though…
Subaru: ...Then, it’s good.
Yui: (Why does that mean…?)
Saying that...why were you sleeping on my bed-part…?
Subaru: ...kh...that’s ‘cuz…*blushing*
...Shuddup! That doesn’t even matter!
Yui: Eeh...but I’m curious…
(Because...he strictly prohibited not to enter on the other side…)
Subaru: ……
Yui: ……
Subaru: ...Tch! Aaah, damn it!
Got it, if you’ll be satisfied if I say it, then I’ll!!
...You’re...having a nightmare last night.
Yui: Eh…?
Subaru: When I was sleeping on my side, I heard you making painful noises and...
That’s why...I go there to check out your state.
...Was it my bad?
Yui: Oh…
(Last night, it wasn’t a dream that I felt my chest hurt…)
(Because of that, Subaru kun has...slept…)
You were worried for me, right?
Subaru: Wha...I didn’t really worry or something like…*blushing*
Yui: Fufu…
Subaru: Shit, don’t laugh!
*Screen shakes + Subaru gets closer*
Yui: Kyaa…!?
Don’t pull off my arm so suddenly…!
Subaru: Shuddup! I’m gonna sleep twice.
Yui: Eeeh…!?
Subaru: Just be quiet and embrace me…!
*Hugs her tighter*
Yui: (Oh come on. We must have to get up by right now...but…)
(Last night, I am sure he had been concerned for my health all the time…)
(Just a little bit...should be fine, no?)
Place: Glimmer Street Main street / グリンマーストリート 表通り
Yui: The antique art dealer that you’ve mentioned yesterday...do you know where he is?
Subaru: Yeah...but saying the truth, I don’t wanna drag myself near him…
Yui: Is he such a weird person…?
Subaru: Weird you say...He’s a narrow-minded guy who always comes up with a disagreement for some reasons.
Even for the father, he is a damn crap old-uncle who always shows-off around.
Yui: You didn’t have to explain it in such a cruel manner…
Subaru: Hmph…
Subaru: However...this old uncle is the only guy who can resist my father.
By putting it that way, that guy is incredible, I think.
Yui: Oh...I see now…
(The one who can resist Karl-Heinz san...then he should be a pretty amazing right…)
(I wonder what kind of person he is…)
Subaru: I am sure he lives around this area…
Oh, here it is...let’s enter.
Place: Aizen Stahl, Antique Art Store/ アイゼン シュタール古美術商店
Subaru: 一 Oi, Ye’ here?
Antique Art Dealer: Hmm…?
Ooh! You’re the youngest kid of the Sakamaki.
Yui: (This person is the artist of the antique…)
Antique Art Dealer: You were so small in the past…
Now you’ve grown up so much, like walking in the future carrying a woman huh.
...I think she looks like a young girl having a plugged-nose though.
Yui: Pu- pugged nose…!?
(How awful…)
Subaru: Tch…
...Don’t care about him that much. I told that he's narrow-minded and has a disagreement with everything, right?
Yui: Y- yes…
Antique Art Dealer: So, what’s up today? For you coming in this place is rather rare.
Did Karl-Heinz assign you any mission or something? Heheh…
Subaru: Ye’ aren’t even close, that old man has no connection with it.
...Do you know that guy called Earl Walter?
Antique Art Dealer: Hm….
Subaru: I had smashed several furnishings of his castle yesterday.
Antique Art Dealer: ...You did?
Subaru: Yeah.
Antique Art Dealer: Ho...you see...the furnishings of the Walter are…
Pfft….Hahahah! Oh my, I see! You breaked them huh!
That was the masterpiece thing you did!
Yaay, you did well, youngest kid of Sakamaki!
Yui: Eh…
(He seems to be laughing so much…!?)
Subaru: O- oi…?
Antique Art Dealer: What are you trying to hide? I strongly hate that guy.
Yui: Is that so…?
Antique Art Dealer: Yeah, absolutely. For telling the truth, he has stolen my treasures in the past.
Since then, I just continued hating and hating him…
For this, I become overjoyed hearing this, you know!
Yui: (I get it...so that was the reason…)
Antique Art Deal: I think I can repair the implements in his castle other than the goods in his treasure house.
Subaru: You mean it!?
Yui: That’s a relief….!
Antique Art Deal: Since you had blown up the hell out of that guy then...I shall help you.
Which stuff do you wanna repair?
Yui: A jar, sculpture and a painting…
Antique Art Dealer: I get the point. If that's the case then I can manage somehow I think. Hold on a sec.
*Walks away*
Yui: Looks like at the end we can come up with something, Subaru kun…!
Subaru: Yeah, I believe so…
*Pulling something big*
Antique Art Dealer: I appreciate your waiting. What about this thing?
These things are quite similar with those types of implements, right?
Subaru: Yeah, almost like that.
Yui: Then...if we give these to Earl Walter, he may pardon us…!
Subaru: Yup, we appreciate it. Then We’re takin’ out leav一
Antique Art Dealer: Hold ittt!
*Slaps Subaru*
Subaru: Ouch…! What the hell are ye’ doin’!?
Antique Art Dealer: Who said I’ll do these for free!
Subaru: Haah!? Did you say you’re gonn’ help us out!?
Antique Art Dealer: If you sound like having complaints then I won't hand these over to you.
Subaru: Ghh…
...Oh! Then I am gonna go to the human world and get some money from that old father.
That’s why...let us make an exchange with these.
Antique Art Dealer: Hmph, I don’t even slightly agree that Karl-Heinz will take out money for such things.
Subaru: ….kkh….
Yui: Then...what can we do for the charge…?
Antique Art Dealer: Let’s see…
If you can hand me three things that I’ll order, then I am gonna exchange these things.
Well, if I put in other others, those things should be close to my hand-maid things.
Yui: Hand-maid…
Subaru: Tch….annoying but...that’s the only way.
一一Understood. We’ll get them for you.
Antique Art Dealer: ...Told you, right? Then, let’s tie up our discussions here.
Yui: What should we search to begin with?
Antique Art Dealer: ...The head-mask of a clown. That should be an antique item.
Subaru: HAAH!? Why the heck you need such a thing!?
Antique Art Dealer: That’s because I want that, so you can’t blame it.
If you don’t want to then you don’t have to, ya’ know? Since I am not allowing exchange if so.
Subaru: ...Told ye’ that I am gonna do it! I’m gonna search for that right away so wait!...What a shit!
Place: サントノレパーク通り / Saint Honoré Park Street
Yui: It’s much crowded that I’ve thought…
Subaru: Ahh...ear sore…
Yui: (It's a parade after all so we have to endure these…)
一Ah! There is a clown right ahead! I think there’s gonna be a performance onward.
(It was a great decision for visiting the amusement park. Because, after it if we ask about the head-mask to the clown, then一)
Vampire Child A: Oh! It’s a clown! Hurry up and come 一!
Vampire Child B: Hold on一!
Clown A: There, there. Don’t push each other, okay~!
Yui: (Wah, it’s a huge crowd...I can’t get near him at all…)
Subaru: Oi, what are ye’ gonna do? There’re so many kids so we can’t get to him.
Yui: Umm...at this rate, the performance is gonna begin soon…
(What shall we do…)
Clown B: ...What shall we do?
Clown C: I can’t answer even if you ask...it’s a weekend after all…
Yui: (Hm? Over there are…)
Look, the clowns are getting prepared over there. Let’s talk with them.
I think they are having some kind of trouble…
*Walks over there*
Yui: Excuse us…
Clown B: Yes?
Yui: Did something happen? You look somehow troubled…
Clown C: Oh...that’s...the clown who was supposed to play main role in this performance,
Cannot show up for getting an injury…
Vampire Child A: So we can’t start!
Vampire Child B: I am getting sick of waiting!
Yui: (Ah...there children are…)
Clown A: ...Kh, We can’t buy ourselves time anymore! What should we do!?
Yui: Tell us! Is there anything we can do to help you?
Clown B: Eeeh!? But…
Subaru: Ha? Oi, what are ya’ sayi…
Clown C: No...maybe you can. If you lend us a hand in the fountain-show then…
...Certainly...if you do that much then...At this moment, that’s the only way.
Subaru: What’re ye’ thinking? It’s now way...we can help ‘em!
Yui: Sorry for deciding all of these even if you’re refusing to….
But, if we help, then we can have a talk with them as early as possible…
Subaru: ………
Clown A: Can you please do it for us?
Subaru: ...Certainly...we won’t have a delay talking with ‘em if we do so…
...Understood, we’ll do it.
Clown C: That’ll be a great help! But...we’re lacking time so, please get ready right away.
Yui: Yeah…!
*After a moment*
Clown A: Alright, dear people! Thank you so much for your long wait!
Clown B: After a moment, we’re going to show everyone in a fantasy world.
Yui: (Aight...let’s do my best…!)
→Game
Words Subaru said in the game 一
What're you doing? Get started.
Looks like we’re done.
If you win 一
*Audiences’ claps *
Yui: (Have we done it...perfectly…?)
Vampire Child A: Ohh! Wonderful!
Vampire Child B: The fountain-show was so incredible, right…!
Clown A: Thank you very much! You succeed so well!
Yui: Really….!? We did it, Subaru kun!
*Yui hugs Subaru*
Subaru: Uwaah…!?
*Fades to CG*
Yui: (What a relief...we get that right…!)
Subaru: O- oi! Lemme go!
Yui: Eh?
Vampire Child A: Look! It’s a couple, a couple!!
Vampire Child B: Right~! A lovely-dovely one~!
Yui: ...kh…!
(I was so happy that I….!)
Yui: Ah, Subaru kun, that’s...err, I didn’t mean to do it…!
Vampire Child B: Couple~! Couple~!
Subaru: Tch…! Ya’ll are being damn noisy!
Vampire Child A: Uwaa! We got him mad! Let’s escape!!
*Run*
Subaru: Fuck…!
Yui: (Uuh...and also, what was I doing….so embarrassing….!)
*CG Fades*
Yui: S- sorry, I did something weird so suddenly…!
Subaru: Geez…
Clown C: Phew, thanks to you two, the show has ended up smoothly.
Furthermore, you absolutely deserve larger congrats than I’d expected!
Clown B: Honestly, thank you a lot!
Yui: (I’m glad that we’ve come out handy to them.)
Clown A: 一Once again, we’re expressing our gratefulness for supporting us.
Clown B: As a thank you, please recommend to us what can we give you as a present.
Yui: Err...Actually, if you could manage us a thing that we have been searching…
Subaru: 一 This one. Can you recall seeing something like this?
Clown C: This is…
Yui: (Ah...that photo was…)
Subaru: It’s a head-mask used by a clown. If you have it, then please give it to us.
Clown A: Oh...it looks like an old-modeled head-mask. I hope it is left out in the warehouse...
However, you have helped us so much after all, so we’ll search up the warehouse for you.
Yui: You mean it!? Thank you…!
Clown A: Then, we’re gonna go there to search….can we request you to wait here for a while?
Yui: We’re counting on you!
*Goes away*
Yui: That’s good right, Subaru kun…!
Subaru: If they find it, then yes…
Yui: (...Looks like we’re having a freetime. What can we do…)
Oh...tell me Subaru kun. We’re having some time so let’s play something cool?
Subaru: Huh?
Yui: It’s boring if we just wait here plus…
Subaru: ...What do you wanna ride?
Yui: Err...let’s see….Oh, what about Merry-Go-Round?
Subaru: HAAAH!? Which fool is gonna ride such a childish thing!?
Yui: Ah…
(So we can’t huh...I really wanted to ride something together…)
Subaru: ……..
Tch…
*Walks away*
Yui: Subaru kun…?
Subaru: ...What’re ye’ standing like a statue for? Hurry up.
Yui: Eh...hurry up but why…
Subaru: Huh...you wanna ride, no? Come along before I change my mood to ride.
Yui: ...Mhm!
*After a while*
Yui: Haa, it was fun…!
Subaru: Which side was fun….such stuff was just embarrassing! *blushing*
For starters...You ended up choosing that horse-drawn vehicle…
For making me ride on like a clerk...of that horse…!
If ye’ make me do so next time, then I’ll blow ye’ up…!
Yui: (Certainly it was embarrassing of two of us riding together but…)
I enjoyed riding with you, thank you for that.
Subaru: …ngh…*blushed*
Well...if you’d enjoyed it then it’s okay but….I won’t gonn’ face such a ride next time!
Clown A: 一Sorry for making you wait!
Yui: Oh, you are…
Subaru: You’ve found that?
Clown A: It was...expectedly way much old, so it wasn’t left in our warehouse.
Subaru: Haah!?
Yui: S- such…!
Clown A: However, if I take the correct conjecture then you may find it in the dress shop of this town.
Yui: Dress shop…
(Then we should go there I think.)
Thanks a lot for giving us valuable information. We’re going to that shop then.
Clown A: Yup. Take care…!
Place: Glimmer Street, Aizen back street
Subaru: 一Where can we find that dress shop?
Yui: Umm...according to the map we received earlier, that should be around here.
Right ahead of that crowd, I guess…?
Subaru: Crowd….I’m sick of that.
Yui: Ahaha, you’re right…
(By the way, I wonder if it’s just my imagination to have a bad feeling about it…)
Place: Dress Shop /ドレスショップ
Yui: ………
Subaru: ………
Why is it crowded here too…!
Yui: Y- yes…
(The bad-feeling that I was having was true after all…!)
Umm...excuse me. Anything going on here?
Vampire Woman A: Yeah, there’s going to be a fashion show.
Yui: Fashion show!?
If the fashion is gonna start then I bet the workers in this shop are busy…
Subaru: Ahh...crowds are annoying too. So, let’s wait until it’s over.
Yui: Right...let’s wait then…
(Fashion show of the Demon World huh, I am bit interested一)
???: 一Ah! Hey you there!
Subaru: Aah?
Yui: (Hm…?)
???: I want you to follow me!
*She pulls Subaru*
Subaru: Aaah? What’s so sudden!?
Dress shop owner: I am the owner of this shop. I’ll explain everything inside that room. Anyway, come!
Subaru: Oi, hold it!
Yui: Ah, wait….!
(What on this earth going on…? I should just follow them…)
Place: Dressing Room / 試着室
Yui: (She has brought us very inside this shop…)
Dress shop owner: My apologies for bringing you here so suddenly but please get changed into this costume.
Subaru: Haah!? You’re doing these so abruptly! Why the heck is going on!
Dress shop owner: ...Right, I was forcing you way much…
For here on, we’re going to perform a fashion show here, however…
It was frustrating that there wasn’t a single model out there to wear my masterpiece costume.
I was able to find substitutes from the time being but none of them were perfectly suitable.
However, in the meantime you show up! You’re an ideal model for this.
Yui: (Subaru kun….a model…)
Subaru: Stop fussing around! Who’s gonna do such a shit!
Dress shop owner: No refusal! I’ll make you to be the model by any means!
I bet you’re gonna be pleased with the costume that I created.
Subaru: Hmph, what an absurd one. Oi, we’re going back.
Yui: Ah, but….
(We must have to ask them about that head-mask…)
(Above that…)
*BGM stops*
(I am very interested in seeing Subaru kun participating in the fashion show…!)
Tell me, Subaru kun...it’s a great offer so please participate in it?
Subaru: AAAAH!? You’re also saying these!?
Yui: ….Please do!
Plus...please lend me your ear a bit?
*Subaru gets closer + Yui whispers*
Yui: You see, it may be the right chance for us to ask them about the head-mask…!
Subaru: ...gh…
Dress shop owner: I have no clue what you’re mumbling for…
But I am begging you too. Because you can be the supreme model for sure.
Subaru: ………
….Lend that thing. I’m gonna wear it.
*Starts putting on*
Yui: Subaru kun…!
Dress shop owner: Woo! Thanks a lot! Then come here please!
Yui: (I am looking forward to the upcoming…!)
Place: Glimmer Street Main street / グリンマーストリート 表通り
*Shutter sounds of taking photos*
Yui: (Every single model has so cool styles. I can’t help but to admire them…)
(Subaru kun’s turn hasn’t come yet…)
Dress shop owner: Alright, so our last display will be this costume of our pride!
Yui: (Ah, he shows up…!)
*Louder Applause + Shutters*
Monologue一
The appearance of Subaru who modelled was looking so cool that anyone’d get caught in his enchantment.
...It was rather a displeasing mood for me though.
He was in an unusual appearance or for something else, I was feeling like he was refreshed.
The shop-owner who stood by this Subaru kun 一一
She is so beautiful too.
I was just curious that...two of them who were getting captured in photos taken by others, what conversations they were having while having short distance in between them.
End of Monologue
*Shutters*
Dress shop owner: The visitors are congrating us so much…!
Come on, you also shake your hand with these audiences.
*Swats her hand*
Subaru: 一Don’t you freely touch my hand.
||気安い means actually friendly or familliarly. However, I thought ‘freely’ would go smoothly with the sentence. However, the more literal concept would be “Don’t touch my hand treating so friendly / familiar with me.
Yui: (Ah…! Subaru kun just shook off the shop-owner’s hand.)
Subaru: I’m engaged. Hand-shake with someone else.
||Spoilers! 予約済み means engage / reservation. I am pretty much sure he meant engaged. Because it reflects a clue about ‘engaging’ to the dress-shop owner. :p But some translators may also translate like “I am reserved here. Touch other else” x’D However it would sound weird or logicless since ‘reservation’ has nothing to do with ‘touching hand’. The next sentence, it makes it more obvious :’)
Dress shop owner: Oh my…
...Fufu, it’s that girl over there huh.
Subaru: ...Hmph.
Yui: (I hope he won’t fight over this time…)
*After a moment*
Yui: 一Subaru kun!
Subaru: ...Oh, you come huh.
Yui: Oh...you have got back to normal appearance huh.
Subaru: Absolutely! Who’d wear that damn cloth for a long time.
Yui: (I want to...tell him about my impressions of that show...How should I describe that?)
→Selection
面白かった / You looked interesting
かっこよかった / You looked cool (+correct)
Yui: Subaru kun, you looked so cool!
Subaru: I- is that so? I haven’t really done anything. *flushed*
Yui: It’s not like that. That costume also suited you pretty well and…!
Subaru: ...Thanks.
Dress shop owner: Thanks for the earlier. For you, we really hit a huge profit.
Subaru: I’d acted just as you said. This time, listen to our request.
Dress shop owner: What is it? It will be a pleasure to help you with anything I can.
Subaru: ...Have you seen something similar to this photo? We’re searching for that.
Dress shop owner: ...Oh, it’s inside our warehouse. I’m going to bring that so wait please.
*After a while*
Dress shop owner: 一I think it’s this one.
Yui: Yeah, it is!
Dress shop owner: No one has been using it since it was just left there...You can have it if you need it.
Yui: Thank you so much! We did it, Subaru kun!
Subaru: Hm...I have no clue what he's planning to do with this worn-out thing…
That’s fine. Let’s get back to that old uncle anyways!
Yui: Right. Ah, really thanks a lot!
Dress shop owner: Whether it’s useful to you or not comes first. If it’s possible then stop by here again.
Place: Aizen Stahl, Antique Art Store/アイゼン シュタール古美術商店
Subaru: 一Here, ye’ haven’t gotten any complaints right!?
Antique Art Dealer: Oooh! This one indeed! I haven’t imagined you’d really give it to me.
Subaru: Geez, my head hasn’t just got that why do ya’ need such a thing.
But...with this we’re done with one of the assignments I hope.
Antique Art Dealer: Yeah, you sure did. I’ll count on you tomorrow as well.
Place: Diamante Fountain / ディアマンテ泉
Subaru: Haah...I’m tired…
Yui: The first day was tough…
Ah, I got churro from the Wagon. Wanna eat?
Subaru: Yeah….mmn…
...The saying that “Sweet things taste more tasty the time you’re tired”, not a lie after all…
Yui: Fufu…
(But, today we really had to face many things.)
(I hope we’ll be able to hold out tomorrow as well…)
Subaru: Don’t make such a depressed face…I’ll be with you.
Yui: Right…!
(That’s true, if Subaru kun’s with me then we’ll be fine…!)

Hellloo, could I also request a ToT match up, thank you in advance! Im an INFP, sun Aries, moon leo, rising Sagg (idk how mu h does thi help but there is that 🗿). To put it blanty i have issues, like a lot of them, but we're not getting into them so ill just say im very insecure.It takes me a lot to open up and connect with a person, but i also tend to overshare sometimes. I have ADHD,and other stuff so sometimes i really cannot stfu. Im also sarcastic but i guess also annoying, and if I trust you and feel close to you but i still don't know heo to open up, thats how i will express my love....by annoying the living shit out of you( but later one i will be hella soft or at least try to be cause I cannot handle sappy, serious stuff...cause...i never experienced ig).I guess I just dont know how to handle my emotion 🧍♀️. People consider me weird and childish but also intelligent (my GPA sayy otherwisee) cause that how i act when i open up, i can be loud but idk thats the way i am. Sometimes i can talk for hours and other i dont wanna talk like ever.Im loyal tho and i hate conflicts, i overthink a lot and it affect me mentally and physically sometimes. Tho in a relationship i would honestly try my best to be an a amazing partner and honestly I would put them 1st and then myself,even tho i really crave being take care of and having the ability to be lovee and not love others for once in my life :') . Im very philosophical and i have so many thoughts, passion and ideas but at the same time idk what to do with my life hahahah, I love art and history and overanalyzing myself instead of acting trying to fic whats wrong with me 'cause I feel like im a pretty boring person without my selfhatred and stuff...Anyways my dream is just to find myself in life and not regret the way I live after I die (and to find someone 4lifres tyep beat ya know). Basically im chidlish and annoying, but aslo serious and mature when i have to be...Um hopefully that wasnt to much or TMI, Im sorry if it wass, thank you in advance once again and take care <33
(And sorry for any spelling mistakes, english is not my 1st language)
i ship you with luke pearce
two intelligent people in one relationship? hell yea 🤩🤩 luke would be very accommodating to you. mostly gives you words of affirmation and reassures you you’re the best human being he’s ever been with. there’s a possibility both of you won’t be able to shut up while talking about your interest and thats fine yk-
he will definitely take care of you!! luke would love your personality since you have a lot of thoughts you would want to share. midnight conversations with luke might happen as it serves quality time for the both of you. anyways, i feel like impulsive decision dates are made when you guys are together ಠ_ಠ
thank you sm for requesting and i hope you liked this! <3

I wanna write a long multi chapter fic about Jack and Shitty becoming friends but also I don’t have the mental bandwidth right now so instead I’m just gonna blurt out a long bulletpoint fic so bare with me
Okay so Shitty B. Knight arrives to Samwell hungry for life and friends and finally some fucking air to breathe and be himself away from his conservative family
And it is fucking great, okay? From the get go he finds that his loud left wing talk is welcomed here, he gets to joke around and be as weird as he wants and no one cares
He hits it off pretty quickly with nearly everyone in the team. Sure, Johnson is a little weird and keeps talking about this merely being the “prologue of someone else’s story” but what he’s really curious about is the quiet Canadian guy that barely talks to anyone
Now, Shitty knows about Jack Zimmermann. Obviously. You have to grow up under a rock to not know about Bad Bob and his kid.
He also knows what happened. It must be a sore subject.
Is that why he’s so quiet?
It’s not that Shitty makes Jack a project. Not really. It’s that Shitty has been in a place where he felt lonely and out of place before and it sucked ass. He wants to help.
So he tries. Constantly.
Because Shitty sees the spark hiding behind the ice cold facade. He sees the way Jack’s face lights up in the rink, how loud and youthfully he celebrates cellys, how protective of others he is in the ice.
That’s a guy he WANTS to be friends with.
Except he can’t. After every training, Jack shuts back up
“Hey, Jaques, wanna go grab a bite?” “Thanks but I should sleep. We got an early day tomorrow.”
“My man, Zimmermann, lets go to that fucking party across campus!” “I’d rather not.”
“Hey, let’s celebrate this fucking win!” “I was actually gonna watch the game tonight. There was a play there that keeps bothering me.”
Anything that isn’t hockey is an instant No from Jack but Shitty is too stubborn to give up.
“Hey, Jack, I was going to train a bit extra on Sunday. Care to join me? You could teach me some of those sick moves.” “Sure.”
VICTORY. Sort of. Working out extra with Jack is exhausting, physically and mentally because Shitty keeps trying to come up with jokes and keeping up 90% of the conversation.
It takes nearly a month until Jack agrees to grab a bite after their Sunday skate and Shitty is so fucking beat that he nearly falls asleep on his burger.
“Hey, Shits, nice ketchup mustache,” Jack chirps him suddenly. And it’s the smallest, dumbest possible thing but Shitty laughs a little too loud and Jacks shoulders seem to lose a bit of that perpetual tension he’s always carrying.
It gets better after that. Slowly, painstakingly, but Shitty finds himself enjoying Jack’s company more and more.
He’s a genuinely good bro. He listens, even when he’s just grunting along time Shitty’s monologues, and he asks questions that shows that he actually cares, every now and then. It’s odd, being taken seriously.
By the end of their first semester, Jack and Shitty are spending a lot of time together. Which is why he asks him to come to the art kids party where Larissa is going to be.
Who? “Brah, Larissa Duan? Just the coolest fucking chick ever! I told you about her the other day, man. She said we should come over to this thing and I would go, but I know shit about art and I would rather not go along and bring my best fucking bro with me.”
After the word vomit he worries that maybe he pushed too far, judging by the way Jack freezes and stares at him like a deer on headlights. But then Jack sighs and says “fine, I’ll go,” and Shitty whoops with excitement
The party goes better than Shitty could’ve ever dreamed. Larissa’s super chill energy seems to have an effect on Jack, who half an hour in is talking about photography with some other art kids and he even agrees to come grab a beer with him and Larissa afterwards.
Until, of-fucking-course, Jack goes into hockey-mode and asks Larissa if she would like to be their team manager. They need one and she seems good at organizing stuff.
“Brah!” “I think it would be cool” “wait, what” “I’ve been looking to do more stuff and you guys are dope. Would I get my own nickname?”
And Jack looks her with that seriousness that means he’s thinking about hockey and firmly says “Lardo” and she says “sweet” and Shitty corrects “swasome” and things are good.
Thing don’t stay good, because as chill as Shitty tries to be, life rarely stays chill.
After winter break, in the smothering tightness of his folks’ home, Shitty finds himself craving that weird and easy friendship with Jack.
Why he finds is a Hockey Robot. All Jack seems to do and talk about is how to get the team to the play-offs. He trains longer than anyone (more than Shitty can keep up with), and when he isn’t on the ice, he is thinking about hockey or talking about plays or or about eating more protein.
Shitty is angry. Not that he would tell anyone (except Lardo) because it’s really not his place (he knows about shorty family dynamics, no pun intended) but he’s mad because Jack’s folks seem to have done quite a fucking number on him over the break and it kills him to even think about it.
And then family weekend comes and Bad Bob himself shows up to Samwell with his beautiful wife and Shitty has to swallow down his anger because Jack wants them to go have diner together and it’s the first human interaction he’s had with Jack in a month so sure he’ll go.
Shitty is good at being nice and polite around people he dislikes. He hates doing it, but it’s like muscle he had to work on growing up.
Except, Bob and Alicia are nice. Like, fucking nice. Even for Canadian standards. They are sweet and funny and normal and keep reassuring Jack about their love and support every third sentence.
And still, Jack has that grim “thinking about the next game” look on his face the whole time.
Shitty is confused as fuck.
The game goes well and Jack is the happiest Shitty has ever seen him as he celebrates his goal in the ice. He even hugs Shitty and thanks him for his assist.
Three games later they are out of the playoffs and Jack shuts down everything and everyone around him.
Shitty tries. He knocks on his door at least twice a day to see if he wants to go over to the Haus to hang out with the team. He offers going out for burgers or a beer or both. He even enlists Lardo, hoping the team manager will be able to snap him out of it.
Jack leaves early for a Hockey Summer camp and doesn’t say goodbye but Shitty hears from Johnson that he also got dibs on a room at the Haus.
Jack actually texts Shitty during the summer. It shocks him so much that he has to double check his phone before replying.
The texts are just to comment on the NHL playoffs and finals, sporadic and robotic at times, but Shitty does his best to drag the conversations for as long as possible. Once the season is over, so are the texts.
Shitty assumes Jack must be pretty happy though since his old bro won the cup.
When fall comes, Shitty stumbles again into Jack’s hockey-robot mode. His intensity is nearly terrifying. He barely speaks out of practice, only leaves his room to go to lecture or the rink. Looks like he hasn’t been sleeping at all.
Shitty is worried. He’s hurt, too, because he misses the friendly Jack that had slowly started coming out of his shell, and he wonders if it’s going to be like this, back to square-one after every break, but most of all he’s worried about Jack.
Lardo tells him to give him space. She says she sometimes gets “on the zone” for an art project and can forget about the rest of the world. Shitty likes thinking of Jack as an artist, but he hates seeing him this unhappy. None of the old tricks work to cheer him up.
Then comes the first Kegster of the year. Two frogs, Hostler and Ransom, take over planing duties and the party is the biggest the Haus has ever seen.
It’s freaking dope.
And then, fucking Kent Parson fucking shows up asking about Jack.
Lardo and Shitty nearly have to drag him out of his room to greet his old best friend.
Jack is cold towards Pars, in a way Shitty has never seen before. He’s downright rude and mean in every comment, no matter how much Kent tries to joke around, and five minutes later Jack turns around and leaves him talking to himself.
He’s jealous, Shitty realizes, and he’s being petty and awful and he doesn’t know this Jack Zimmermann at all.
Shitty runs after Jack upstairs, maybe a little emboldened by the alcohol.
“Hey, brah, what the fuck was that?”
“Stay out of it, Shits.”
“Nah, man, that was weird as fuck.”
“Seriously, you don’t know what you’re talking about”
“Then tell me, man, I’m your fucking friend! Just talk to me!”
Jack slams his bedroom door on his face and Shitty deflates. Maybe he was wrong. Maybe they are not friends after all.
The rest of the semester is tense. Shitty tries to focus on his classes, on the ice, on how fucking cool and pretty and funny Lardo is, on the parties and the rest of the team.
It just bothers him. He misses Jack. He’s still there but he’s been absent any time they aren’t in the rink. He’s still great and focused and nearly friendly in the ice, but anything else is like the fucking twilight zone.
It’s before a game that he finds Jack sitting outside Faber, curled into a ball and physically shaking.
Shitty thinks of the headlines about Jack OD’ing, thinks of his tension around his loving parents and his reaction to Kent Parson showing up. Anxiety. The word takes form in his head, clear and obvious and the relief of having an answer hits him so hard he wants to laugh.
Instead, he sits next to Jack, who stirs when he feels him by his side but actually seems to relax when he realizes it’s Shitty who found him like this. Jack lets out a breathy “I’m fine” and Shitty says “sure, brah, but I’m fucking nervous about tonight, mind if I sit here for a while?” And Jack shakes his head. So they sit, in uncharacteristic silence, until Jack’s breathing normalizes.
“Thanks, Shits. Could you not-“ “Don’t worry man, I ain’t saying fucking shit to anyone.” And Jack smiles for the first time in months.
By the end of the semester comes the Epikegster to end all the kegsters. Which means, of course, Shitty gets shitfaced.
Which is why he ends up stumbling drunkenly to his room in the middle of the night to grab another pair of sunglasses because who knows where the fuck his other two pairs went
And it’s why he doesn’t know how to react when he finds two linebackers throwing up on his bedroom floor
“Brah, what the fuck, get outta here!” He yells, trying to grab one of the guys and pull him out to the hallway.
Except, the guy is huge. And he is angry.
Shitty doesn’t know what hit him when someone throws him to the floor.
His brain thinks he’s been checked for a second but then he remembers he’s not in the ice.
The other guys, however, apparently don’t remember they aren’t on the field because the second dude tries to tackle Shitty just as he’s getting up and he barely has time to dodge before one gigant ducking foot goes through the bedroom wall
“Hey, man, what the fucking fuck?!”
Shitty tries to steady himself, increasingly accepting that he’s about to get into a fight he didn’t ask for. He has time to think it’s ironic that his first real fight in Samwell will be off-the-ice.
And then the bedroom door opens and in comes Jack Laurent Zimmermann in all of his gorgeous badass glory.
“Let’s all calm down, eh?”
Here’s the thing: it’s easy to forget how strong Jack is. Shitty is used to hanging out with Hockey Bros and it’s easy to forget that not everyone’s bro’s are big muscley athletes defying toxic masculinity standards one day at a time. But Jack, even when he doesn’t look that big, is one of the strongest people he’s met.
He remembers all this when Zimmermann grabs the two by their shirts and drags them out of the room and all the way downstairs.
Shitty stumbles after them, as Jack pulls them like they aren’t both huge masses of muscle and throws them out to the street.
By the time Shitty reaches the porch, a bunch of big as fuck guys are standing there, looking drunk and angry and ready for a fight.
So Shitty does the one thing that makes sense to him: he squares up next to Jack, ready to fight back to back with him.
Before they can get run over by fists, however, Jack reaches for the only emergency measure in the house: an old as balls fire extinguisher.
Two minutes later, the football bro’s are running away and Shitty is laughing so hard he collapses on the floor next to Jack.
Jack kneels next to him, with his serious hockey face on, puts a hand on Shitty’s shoulder and asks “you alright, Shits?”
Shitty nods, still laughing, and to his surprise Jack laughs too, sitting by his side on the floor. They sit there, chuckling, until the sound dies down and they both sigh at nearly the same time.
Whatever tension there was between them seems to have desipated with that clouth of dust of the fire extinguisher.
“Thanks for having my back, bro”
“Hey, you always have mine,” Jack shrugs. “What are best friends for?”
Shitty cries. Jack freaks out that he might have said the wrong thing. Shitty just hugs him and shouts about being the best bros.
That winter break Jack invites Shitty over to his house and Shitty accepts eagerly.
Bob and Alicia are sweet and happy to have him and keep saying how much Jack talks about Shitty and how thankful they are that Jack’s found so many good friends in Samwell and they’ve heard about Lardo and Hostler and Ransom and Johnson and Shitty most of all.
This time he manages not to cry.
At the end of the break, Jack and him are hanging out and Jack says “Hey, Shits, I’m not good at this but I wanted to say thanks, for not giving up on me when I was acting kinda weird.”
And Shitty just laughs and says “it’s alright man, I figured you have like hockey robot mode and then human mode.”
Jack makes a face. Shitty shrugs.
“I’ll take them both, brah.”
Jack doesn’t cry, because he’s Jack and even his human mode struggles with emotions, but he smiles and throws a snowball at Shitty’s face and that’s all he wanted really.

the goop-pyro situation explained
[ hii, mod. ii hope youre ok. ]
[ ii = i ]
ii deciided to make a post telliing how ii see thiings wiith the goop-pyro siituatiion and attemptiing to make iit easy to access / understand to those who dont want to read 400+ notes.
iive read all the notes on goops vent/callout ask and pyros screenshots as the tiime beiing (8:23 brt); and ii wiill try to not take any siides for now. but, you can read my opiiniion too iif you wiish. iill place iit here too.
notes:
ii use he/hiim and zey/zem/zeiir/zemself, iif you want to refer to me on the notes.
goop = monster/M0N.STERR = liin, uses he/hiim.
pyro uses he/hiim
willyoucomewithme uses they/them
iif thiis people use any other pronouns, ii apologiize for not liistiing them, and iill ensure to use them on the future.
my poiint of viiew can be iidentiifiied when ii use my typiing style, and iit wiil also be placed [liike thiis].
-
1. goops callout post
"hi yall! today, i got my feelings invalidated by the one and only PYRO!! the one who leads the tam chats!! he and some of his mods decided to create troll accounts to raid TAM!! he didn't tell some mods from what i saw, and made a mod deal with their bullshit!! they also tried to sell stolen art!! then, i left the casual chat because one of the mods admitted to trolling (they tried to say it wasn't them earlier, they also only admitted to it because some more people knew what they were doing), and i was uncomfortable!! then, pyro pms me!! and i tell him that i was uncomfortable being in the chat because one of the mods were talking abt the situation!! and i tell him what they did was wrong!! then, he says that everyone is fine with it except for me, and says that i'm exaggerating!! yay!!"
pyro quickly came in and said that there was a lot to unpack about the situation; and that lin was lying. according to him, he and the mod team of tam would test the helpers by simulating a troll attack on the public chat. goop felt uncomfortable with that, and left the casual chat. some mods were confused/worried[?] and contacted pyro.
pyro pm'd goop to talk about iit. the screenshots he(pyro) posted are cropped, [so iit iis questiionable iif there was anythiing else that wasn't mentioned, or iif pyro purposefully
goop pov:
- pyro invalidated his feelings
- pyro didn't tell some of the mods about the troll raid [proved wrong, questiionable]
- the mods tried selling stolen art [ii don't have proof about thiis rn, so questiionable]
- he told pyro what was making him uncomfortable
- was told that he was overreacting [hiinted at, not with those exact words. siince the screenshots were cropped, can't be confiirmed.]
- "@pyro778 i think saying “everyone else was fine with it except you and _____” was hinting that you thought i was exaggerating 😐" (copypaste, goop's words)
pyro pov:
- he politely asked goop if he wanted to talk about what was happening
- lin refused to tell what was making him uncomfortable [proved wrong later on.]; and was acting rudely.
- the majority of the mods agreed with the troll training
- there was one offliine person who diidn't reply to the troll training? [should have waiited for them]
- lin was purposefully lying to cancel him. [wrong, iimo. goop wasnt lyiing. he diidn't seem to make any attempt to cancel pyro at all, he diidnt mentiion iit on the notes]
- lin was lying about the mod team [questiionable.]
- "that’s exactly what we were trying to do. Lin is making up lies in an attempt to cancel me or somethin" (pyro's words, copypaste)
part 2 . the "leaving the chat" discussion
pyro told goop that he shouldn't leave the chat, as he was a mod. in reality, goop is a helper.
[even so, ii beliieve that thiis shouldn't have happened. even iif goop iis a mod, he has all the riight to leave the chat iif he feels uncomfortable. attemptiing to make him come back "because hes a mod" iisnt any professiional.]
"@willyoucomewithme so let’s say a mod sees a situation going on, starts to handle it, and then leaves the chat. Now what? Do you see how that wouldn’t work? We can’t just have mods leaving the chats without any sort of warning or explanation" (pyro's words, copypaste) [thiis iisnt the case. as far as iim aware, liin diidnt leave duriing a siituatiion, so thiis example iisnt really valiid. and, agaiin, goop iis completely free to do what he wiishes. iif goop felt uncomfortable, he diidn't have to *iimediiately* giive a notiice. thiis also iinvaliidates goops feeliings.]
"Lin stretched the truth and just straight up lied in this post" (copypaste, pyro's words) [ii dont agree, but thats a personal opiiniion, and iid rather not drag iit as iit may affect thiis post.]
3. "please grow up"
[ii thiink that, at thiis poiint, thiings started to go down.]
pyro told goop to grow up [as ii understand, drop the subject? forgiive and forget? not clear to me.], to which goop replied "grow up?? no, i won’t let some person who people look up to invalidate my feelings." (copypaste, goop's words)
he also stated that making a callout post was petty and immature.
according to pyro, if you cant handle stressful ideas, it isnt a good idea to stay as a mod. [agaiin, liin iis a helper. and to be honest, thiis comment speciifiically has me wonderiing some thiings. as someone who has already served as mod to diiscord servers and some amiinos, and saw many dramas and confliicts, thats wrong. some mods cant handle stressful iideas because iit harms them. iit doesnt mean that they arent capable of working as a mod.]
willyoucomewithme also stated that they were a mod for some years (almost 5) and that they recognized pyros behaviour as unprofessional.
goop commented that "you said if people are uncomfortable, we’ll make an apology wheres the apology? i’m uncomfortable." [ii dont know much about that, no proof was giiven about iit, so ii cant confiirm]
3. off-topic
[iimo one of the worse parts.]
slowly, the topic started to drift away from the discussion, and passed to some off-topic conversation between some users, counting pyro and a user named astolfosextraribbon. [pretty diisrespectful. just moviing on liike that and sayiing random thiings to eachother diidnt really show any concern to how goop felt, and mostly made iit seem liike a joke that could be iignored.]
apparently, goop went by a panic attack because of that things and because of the off-topic chit-chatting. [ii already had paniic attacks before and ii already saw users go by one. by how goop started typiing, ii know that iit iis true, and ii hope hes ok.]
some people apologized, recognizing how the situation was affecting goop, but pyro and astol didnt. pyro claimed that lin did the post, so it wasnt his fault, and that they were just trying to lighten the mood. [wrong. iit iis pyros fault for treatiing iit like a joke and just moviing on, chattiing casually. they could have just moved on to a group chat, as was suggested multiiple tiimes iin the notes. iidk iif they diid that, tho.]
4. misgendering
this part mostly involves willyoucomewithme (who ill refer to as wy) and astol (astolfosextraribbon).
wy and astol engaged in an argument because of the off-topic chatting. [astol kept takiing the siituatiion as a joke, apparently, iif taken onto consiideratiion theiir behaviiour on the notes]
"yeah im laughing cause yall insulting me when i CLEARLY havent done the same👩❤️💋👩" (copypaste, astol's words)
wy then asked astol to stop referring to them as a girl/sis/female names and pet names, as they didnt like that. [astol diidnt seem to take iit seriiously at fiirst, referiing to them as guy/diick.] yet, once they stated that they were nonbinary, they apologized.
even so, it seemed to trigger wys gd [and tbh, ii hope youre doiing well, wy.]. they stated that they were doubting their own gender. no one apologized for that for a while, the topic drifted to random again, until astol referred to lin(?) and wy as "furries", which triggered wys traumas. aikoindieinside told them to "chillax", astol accused them of guilt-tripping.
wy did seem to point that they had an episode because of it, tho not confirmed.
5. conclusion.
that was my post, iig. ii triied my best to iinform everythiing, but iif ii left any iinfo out, please tell me. iim on computer rn and siince tumblr iis trash, ii miightve miissed smth.

i followed pretty recently, but i have to say i am completely enamored by your art. it's so soft and beautiful. it really feels like the forest, mushrooms and moss if that makes sense? i adore it all (also i was so happy to see gàidhlig in your art!! i am learning it right now) and it's definately influenced my own art. there's a wonderful quality to your art that i can only dream to capture in the same way one day. thank you so much for sharing it!!
;_;; .. thankyou so so much,.. oh i dont know what to sayy ..this is jus very sweet 🍄🐏🦋

❝ But then you came back again: as sun on water. I reached for you, skimmed my hands over the light of you. ❞
ALEXANDER OLLIVANDER really is the spitting image of SEO KANG JOON, right? For someone only TWENTY-THREE years old, ALEX has been forced to endure so much. Yeah, that MUGGLEBORN has been scraping by at the sanctuary since MARCH, 2028, working as a SUPPLY RUNNER AND WAND MAKER in the DIVISION OF FORAGE. HE is a CIS MAN and is known to be ARROGANT and CONTRARY but also CHARISMATIC and BRAVE. Best of luck surviving through this. ⊰ JO, 26, EST, SHE/HER ⊱
Stat Sheet.
Pinterest.
Trigger Warnings: abortion mention. ( first bullet )
History:
Alexander was born in South Korea to a muggle teen mom who, despite their families attempts at getting her to terminate the pregnancy, powered on by herself and raised him in the most loving way. His birth father had been forbidden to see her once his parents found out and thus is not even remotely in their life. Which, according to his mom, was a very good thing.
His mother had raised him to the age of seven when a Brazilian tourist had caught her eye at the restaurant she worked at. After that first night he continued to visit just to chat and eventually they fell in love. After a year of dating, Demetres Ollivander ( Varrick Ollivander’s grandson ) proposed to Alex’s mother and they brought the two families together to settle in brazil when he was five. Once Alex reached the age for enterance, though they moved to London so that he could attend the school that his step-father had; Hogwarts.
Gryffindor was his house and he easily made friends with his classmates. He tended to find the classes boring as he’d already soaked up most of it from shadowing his step-father at his work. Though Alex tended to get in trouble ( only when he wanted to ) and had a knack for charms ( including charms that mimicked professors signatures ). He was the popular sort of guy, more nonchalant towards dating and more into muggle sports than wizarding ones. So he spent most of his school time chilling and playing football – breaking hearts and making best friends.
After Hogwarts, he followed after his dad’s footsteps and took up the art of wandmaking. It was an interesting profession and his wands tended to be unique and well sought after as they are aestheticTM and adorned with pretty, elegant carvings.
When the outbreak happened, Alexander was smart to gather rare ingredients and bring them back to Hogwarts. He made sure that his family was safe and sound within the wards that kept the inferi at bay. While they swore hogsmeade was just as safe, he knew that not to be true.
He now works as a supply runner and a wand maker within the strong hold. Alex is strong and talented enough to find exactly what they need and get out unscathed.
Personality:
INTRODUCING YOUR RESIDENT AESTHETICS KING
honestly he’s very picky about clothes and matching things and have neat surroundings ( but mostly in a ‘well decorated’ type of way ). his body gotta look nice, his clothes gotta look nice, his room gotta look nice, his writing gotta look nice….you name it – it’s gotta look on pointt
interior design is his fav… just as much as football ( soccer ) and video games are.
he is particularly smart. perhaps not in a ‘ill sit down and do my work’ kind of smart but he’s good at mimicking handwriting and doing the right things to get himself in trouble when he wants to?? if that makes sense. he’s smart at manipulating situations to get what he wants whether that is to get in detention with a hot girl or get himself out of an essay.
he’s sort of the jocky–fuckboyISH type but he’s in general a pretty nice guy. like he’ll help you out if you’re in trouble ( sometimes get YOU in trouble but most of the time he’d get you back out of it XD )
he’s kind of a drama king…sort of lol but no he takes most everything personally and will insult back no matter how small of a jab it is...he’ll almost always hold a grudge LMAO
he’s very contrary. like he will say the opposite of what he wants to sayy. ex. if he actually likes someone, he will pretend he doesnt. and he likes to push peoples buttons mostly to get a rise out of them but in general he knows boundaries and --- he just thinks ‘if they can push mine i can push theirs so ha’
family wise: he’s very family oriented and pays special attention to his sibling and his parents. as well as he is protective of them. you mess with them and you are asking for hell LMAO because he will take u downnn as fast and hard as possible.

The animatronic made an incoherent screeching noise as he, surprisingly gently took the paper in order to not accidentally wrinkle or tear it.
Then he threw his head back and let out the loudest pterodactyl scream.
"THIIIIIIS- THIS THIS THIS- A- AHAHHHHAAAA! I LOVE IT! IT'S SO! SO! SO! PRETTY! I! I- ILOVE- LOVELOVELOVE IT! SO- SO MUUUUUUCH! HAAAA HAHHAHAA! LOOK! BONBON! LOOK AT THIS! I WANT YOU TO! A-APPRECIATE IT! AAA! HAH! Don't- DON'T! DON'T C-CALL IT CRAPPY! Y-YOU HEAR ME! IT IS- SOOOO CUTE! I- I LOVE ART SOOOO MUCH! L-LOOKIE! AAA! Y-yoouu ma-MADE my EARS DIF-DIFFERENT height! AND So-o MUCH EMOTION! A- ALL THOSE- LITTLE PLATES! SUCH- SUCH DETAIL!" Throwing the person up into the air again and again, he squealed in utter delight. "Y-YYOUR ART I-IS GREAT! AND YOU MA-MADE ME FEEL GREAT! I L-LOVE IT SO! N-NEVER MANAGED TO DRAW- DRAW LIKE THIS! My ha-ha-hands are TOOOO CLUMSY! T-TO ME, IT'S- IT'S WONDERFUL! I- I'M UNABLE TO THANK- THANK YOU ENOUGH! AND- ANd- IIf YOU- DRAW MOOOORE- THEN- THEN IT WILL BE E-EVEN BETTER! G-GoD! I HOPE Y-YOU WILL SHOW ME S-SOME ART A-AGAIN SOON!"
For a moment the robot looked confused. "B-but... where d-do I keep it now so I- I caN LOOK at i-it anytime?!"
"How about we ask it to be hung on a wall? Then you could look at it a lot, Freddy! And everyone else too!" Bonbon sweetly proposed.
Without hesitation, the bear opened its maw and swallowed the paper. "TH-THERE! No-now I a-always carry i-it around! And- ke-keep it in my HEART!" Happily he clacked his faceplates, before turning to look at his companion. "SO-Sorry! I di-didn't catch that! What did you s-sayy?"
"... nothing, Freddy. That was a very nice idea." Resigned the bunny petted his head.
ANYWAYS, I'm really, really happy that you decided to draw this! Don't call it crappy, alright? I always struggle with the Funtimes too, you did nicely! AND ART IS ALWAYS A GREAT THING!
SO THANK YOU, FROM ME TOO!
SUBMISSIONS ALWAYS EXCITE ME A LOT!
I appreciate the hell out of you, @lovecartoonsanimeandvideogames! Thanks for following the wild ride that is this blog!

overly detailed explanations of historical figures without any context: part 3/?
part 1 with explanation part 2
N [cousin]: I don’t CARE. Okay, so- [picture loads] oh my lordy-lord. Okay-
A [me]: Okay, this is the anonymous portrait, it’s the one that literally everyone knows. All right.
N: Ooo, Maximilien! Like the horse from Tangled!
A: *laughs*
N: Oh no, that’s Maximus.
A: Already off to a great start.
N: You know, I’m gonna call him “the horse from Tangled.”
A: Okay?!
N: He looks like the horse from Tangled.
A: *high-pitched and very quiet* I don’t know how to respond to this.
N: This...fucker...is an actor for sure.
A: *noise*
N: Like, he’s a prestigious actor too. He’s one of those guys - sorry I do musical theater, so you’re about to hear some major tea - he’s one of those guys who forgets their lines all the time, and they’re like *high annoying voice* “I’m off-book!” Like no, you’re not off book, you just forgot your script. And you’re like BSing your way out of this. You miss your cues, forget your lines...like, what are you sayyying? Like, that’s not your line. And then, no, and then they have to be like, they have the audacity to-
A: *sarcastically* L’audace.
N: When someone else misses their cue, who’s actually off-book. Right? Aka me, misses their cue just ONCE, but they’re a great actor, you go off. They just stop everyone and just go, *high annoying voice again* “Everyone, as a PSA, if you’re off-book, be off-book. Know your cues, and know your lines. If you don’t know your cues and your lines, BRING YOUR BOOK.”
*musical theater rant*
A: So, you’re into fashion, what do you think of his sense of clothing right now?
N: Beetlejuice.
A: *laughing* Is that- do you have any other comments?
N: No. The collar is so high.
A: Oh, that’s nothing, man.
N: And the colors remind me of, like, a ‘70s bedroom.
A: Kay? Okay.
N: Not the master bedroom. Like a kid’s bedroom. Not necessarily like a kid’s bedroom, but a guest bedroom, you know like the one you wouldn’t sleep in. But you would stick your old grandfather in there, cause you don’t care about him. Um...love you Grandpa! His tie….see, that’s where I think he’s an actor that shows off too much. Cause that tie is too much, baby. He’s like-
A: I regret to inform you that that was pretty standard.
N: He’s like, no but if this was 2019, he’d be showing off. He’d be like, flexing, it would be like him wearing three pairs of Airpods, all jammed in his ear. That’s how much flexing. And like, all Supreme stuff. Air Jordans-
A: Ohhhh god.
N: Fucking flexing on everyone. And he’s like, blasting “Old Town Road.”
A: Someone with talent draw this please.
N: Or XXXTentacion. He’s a classic middle-school guy.
A: Someone with art skill that’s not me please draw this.
N: He looks so rich. Look at that chin, oh my god, he’s got like a whole separate chin. He has a whole separate section for his jaw!
A: That hurts a lot more than you mean it to!
N: Why? Does he get his jaw cut off?
A: *silence* [quietly, silently mourning]
N: Is he self-conscious about his jaw? He should be, it looks bad. And, um, his lips, he definitely puts on Burt’s Bees. Like, tinted chapstick?
A: *noises*
N: Because he stole his older sister’s. His eyebrows, uh, there’s this thing called Anastasia Brow Kit, from Sephora? Get one. What is that in his hair? Is that like, a maggot? Is that a piercing?
A: It’s a fucking powdered wig, what do you want me to tell you?
N: Is it a maggot?
A: No?!
N: Then why is there a little black dot?
A: Ask the painter, not me? I don’t know who the painter is, actually. I’m gonna be honest.
N: *quiet* What the fuck maaaaaan, why are his ears so small? His ears are tiny. Makes my ears look like frickin’ Dumbo up in here.
A: Okay, do you have any further comments before I reveal something to you?
N: His receding hairline- on par.
A: How old do you think he is?
N: Oh, definitely like...midlife crisis.
A: No, I need words, give me numbers.
N: Forty-six and nine months.
A: Okay. Can I tell you something? You’ve actually seen this man twice already.
N: Oh my god, what the fuck, is this the transgender spy?
A: For the record, my brilliant acquaintance thinks that Eleonore Duplay is actually disguised as this man [as the Adelaïde portrait of Robespierre].
N: Okay, listen. She, like, she goes undercover-
A: I don’t know how to tell her.
N: Her kids think she’s like a nice lawyer who never has time for family.
A: So mean.
N: But actually, she’s an undercover spy guy.
A: Yeah, as you can tell, this has been going great.
N: I’m falling off my rocker.
A: You’re already off your rocker.
N: *laughs* I’m falling off my bed. What’s his name again?
A: Maximilien Robespierre. I hope I pronounced that right.
N: What about Jake Paul?
A: Jean-Paul Marat? That is NOT the same person. This is not Marat!
N: That’s a wrap on the horse from Tangled! ...no, press where the home button would be. Why do I have to teach you how to technology?
A: Because there’s no buttons! There’s no more buttons! [Ari vs. phone]
N: Yeah, it’s sleek.
A: There’s no- it’s useless, there’s no buttons.
N: No, it’s not useless, it’s sleek, it’s fashion. Okay, goodbye.

"So Rob, whatever happened with you and uhh Patricia was it? I always thought you guys were ride or die"
"Yeah we were till she caught on to the fact I can't drive or die. So she dumped me then wrote this long twitter post about me being a sociopath who deserves to die alone and homeless hehe but what does she know, am I right?"
"I don't know man, I mean she is a licensed psychiatrist. Isn't it like her job to know?"
"Okay fine I admit the post did have some compelling points. I do tend to blame everyone else for the war crimes I've committed under various pseudonyms every other week, but who doesn't? Honestly I almost bought into it myself, that is up until the paragraph on delusions of grandeur. That's when it went wayy off and lost all credibility in my eyes"
"Right. You? Delusions of grandeur? No wayyy"
"Exactly! So you just knoww I had to drop a comment sayi-"
"What? No way you dropped a comment. She didn't block y-"
"LET ME FINISH! Actually wait good point she did block me, but your boys a bit of a hack so I made a fake account under a pseudonym"
"Okay sorry hate to interrupt but did you mean 'hacker'"
"Yeah whatever. Geez thought I was talking to Mr. Kimmel not Mr. Robot"
"Not my name but do go on"
"Uh yeah I know, that's the joke. Keep up Jimmy. Anyway, I commented anonymously under the twitter handle 'Hieronymous Bitch' because I know how much she values the opinions of people who share similar tastes in art as her and wrote a far more convincing rant refuting the paragraph on delusions of grandeur. The genius part of it all is that I wrote it pretending to be my own new girlfriend so she thinks I've moved on. Essentially I explained how I, Rob D. Immortal, may be a jerk at times but it's unfair to accuse someone of delusions of grandeur just because they never truly loved you"
"Okay just going to brush over you thinking my name's Jimmy Kimmel. What part exactly of this entire conversation proves you're not a sociopath?"
"The part where I'm not delusional"
"You say that but you also just called yourself 'the immortal'"
"Oh I see common misconception. I said Rob D. Immortal. I had my name legally changed because of this anime called one piece, it's pretty obscure so you probably haven't heard of it."
"Ughh okay so I get the D but why did you go for Immortal as a surname"
"Oh word that's because I can't die"
"...and you fail to see how you're a sociopath on the grounds you're not delusional?"
"I get the confusion Mr Fallon?"
*school counsellor shakes head*
Rob clears throat obnoxiously. "You see it's only a delusion when it's not true but you still believe it"
"Okay so there's a lot to unpack there but it looks like our hour is up"
"Oh right so I should wrap things up? So my book 'Suck My Toes Puny Mortals' hits the shelves on Thursday, but you can pre-order on Amazon as of yesterday. Thanks for having me Mr Corden, honestly we don't do this enough"
"Again, that's not my name and we've been doing this every week for the past 2 years now"
"Aha yeah I love me too. Bye now"
I love this trope

TRANSCRIPTION...
Rip Camillucci 0:03
Welcome to arcade audio.
Natalie Younger 0:28
Welcome to shared history
Cass Maher 0:31
where the points are made up and the history doesn't matter. Or so you thought,
Natalie Younger 0:37
yes, this is a shared history, the podcast where we are going to talk and just tell each other's story, a little story about history that maybe wasn't in your history books
Cass Maher 0:48
that probably should have been brought.
Natalie Younger 0:50
Yeah, probably should have been. I'm Natalie Younger.
Cass Maher 0:54
I'm Cass Maher.
Natalie Younger 0:55
And on the ones and twos
Cass Maher 1:01
is our producer, Rip.
Rip Camillucci 1:03
I got my full DJ set up here. It's about to get lit, y'all
Cass Maher 1:06
just wait till the beat drops halfway through the podcast, and we're not gonna tell you
Natalie Younger 1:10
it's gonna get turnt.
Cass Maher 1:12
It's a drinking game. Whenever the beat drops, y'all have to take a drink.
Natalie Younger 1:14
Yeah
Cass Maher 1:15
Please don't do that.
Natalie Younger 1:15
and then you have to call your high school history teacher and apologize.
Rip Camillucci 1:20
All on your way to work.
Natalie Younger 1:23
This is our first episode. So enjoy our wackadoos
Cass Maher 1:27
We're shaking our sillies out.
Natalie Younger 1:29
Cass and I started this podcast because we both are big old history nerds. And
Cass Maher 1:34
Natalie was going to write a book.
Natalie Younger 1:36
And then that was a lot of work.
Cass Maher 1:37
And I was like, 'No, you're not.'
Natalie Younger 1:40
It'd be a lot easier. And I'd be a lot less beholden to proper citation if I justtalked into a microphone with a friend of mine.
Cass Maher 1:50
Also, I'm picturing if the book was basically just like you're writing it out the way we're talking. Yeah. Be so incoherent.
Natalie Younger 1:57
Mm hmm. Yeah. And so I knew that Cass is a big old nerd. And we also have just been needing to hang out.
Cass Maher 2:05
Yeah, Natalie,what's our shared history?
Natalie Younger 2:08
Oh, I'm glad you asked. Cass, Rip and I are all improvisers and comedians in the currently sunny city of Chicago,
Cass Maher 2:19
the one sunny day we'll get all year
Natalie Younger 2:20
Yeah, and we're going to be inside talking into microphones during it. And yeah, we met, we met at a improv show where we played really obnoxious Minnesotan and church ladies,
Cass Maher 2:32
all of our names were Carol,
Natalie Younger 2:33
Yeah and it was magical immediately. And we were like, We need a Hangout. But we both over commit ourselves. So the only way that we could trick ourselves into actually hanging out was by making it a project.
Cass Maher 2:46
Natalie, I'm busy, I can't let's write a sketch show together, that'll be good. What if we do a podcast?
Natalie Younger 2:52
Great.
Cass Maher 2:54
So almost a year and a half after,
Natalie Younger 2:56
after we said we should hang out, we finally are hanging out at the not a show. And it's still work related. So the way that this shenanigans will work is we have both chosen a person or an event, I believe we both did people from history, and we're just gonna, you know, tell each other about it. I know for me personally, I was really excited about focusing on women and people of color in history, because I feel like especially in-- Well, no, in all history--I was gonna say, especially in US history, they're not given the page count that they should be.
Cass Maher 3:36
Yeah. And a lot of their accomplishments are passed off to your other people.
Natalie Younger 3:42
But for this episode, we gave ourselves a theme and our theme was women and US history. I had to remember. And yes, I did it correctly.
Cass Maher 3:53
Yeah.
Natalie Younger 3:57
So yeah, so we're just going to tell you a story. That's this is a story time with your friends Cass and Nat and Rip.
Cass Maher 4:05
the reason why Natalie is not doing a book, and we're doing it this way, is again, as previously stated, we're both nerds. So we like are doing the research. But also we are not professional historians.
Natalie Younger 4:18
Oh, yeah, hashtag disclaimer.
Cass Maher 4:20
So some of this may be embellished or maybe not 100%. Correct. But you're going to get the basic gist. And we're mainly just going to talk about what we
Natalie Younger 4:32
Yeah, this podcast brought to you by the internet and our
Cass Maher 4:36
subjectivity
Natalie Younger 4:37
and yeah, and our memories a little bit. Yeah. Mostly the internet and subjectivity.
Cass Maher 4:45
Kidsdon't cite this in a paper.
Natalie Younger 4:47
Yeah.
Cass Maher 4:49
Cool. Well, I'll kick us off.
Natalie Younger 4:50
Yeah, do it.
Cass Maher 4:52
So I chose someone who I had briefly heard about and only pretty recently, feel like you may have heard of this person, since you are kind of a history buff. Sybil Ludington.
Natalie Younger 5:07
I don't believe I'm familiar.
Cass Maher 5:10
Oh, my gosh. Sybil Ludington is a badass bitch. So Sybil Ludington was a young girl during the American Revolution
Natalie Younger 5:22
Oh was she a Daughter of the American Revolution
Cass Maher 5:24
One might say she was. And Sybil's claim to no fame was she had
Natalie Younger 5:32
That's so sad. I'm sorry.
Cass Maher 5:34
Getting real. She had a Midnight Ride akin to Paul Revere.
Natalie Younger 5:40
Okay
Cass Maher 5:42
but unlike Paul Revere, Well, I'll tell you Sybil Ludington's story and then tell you how Paul Revere didn't quite stack up. Paul Revere is a great man. But Sybil Ludington, kind of
Natalie Younger 5:55
Good hat. Great hat on that man.
Cass Maher 5:57
Yep. Love the lantern. So Sybil Ludington was 16 years old when she did her ride. And she traveled twice a distance of Paul Revere at in more in a longer time span because Paul Revere
Natalie Younger 6:13
I thought you were gonna say in like, half the time. Because when women do it, we get it done more efficiently.
Cass Maher 6:18
Well, it was kind of -- I'll explain it. So, she rode 40 miles, which is about 65 kilometers, which means nothing to anyone but
Natalie Younger 6:27
I'm so glad that you transferred it to kilometers. We are in the United States.
Cass Maher 6:31
I every time I every article that I researched, it was like 40 miles about 65 kilometers and I was like no one needs that.
Natalie Younger 6:38
This is for our fans abroad.
Cass Maher 6:40
Oh, yes. You're welcome.
Natalie Younger 6:42
Our budding audience abroad.
Cass Maher 6:45
So yeah, so she was born in 1767. And by the time the revolution hit, her father was a leader of their local militia. And they got word that there a nearby city of Danbury, Connecticut. They lived on the border of New York and Connecticut and they got word that Danbury was going to be attacked by the British and her dad being a militia man was got this Intel and was like we need to gather the militia. They were all home on their farms. And Sybil was like I can do it. So he's like dope.
Natalie Younger 7:31
I think you said this, and I miss it. Where is Sybil? Is she in Danbury?
Cass Maher 7:35
She's in in your New York. So it was called. It was called Fredericksville, the city she was in, which is like, like an hour north of New York City...by car which they didn't have, but they renamed the town Ludingtonville because of her.
Natalie Younger 7:56
That's a mouthful, though. They could have just named the town Ludington.
Cass Maher 7:59
Yeah,
Natalie Younger 8:00
like that's already a town name.
Cass Maher 8:01
Yeah. Like right there
Natalie Younger 8:03
Literally Luddingtown
Cass Maher 8:05
Full stop
Natalie Younger 8:05
What if they named it Ludingtonton and
Cass Maher 8:06
Ludington town
Natalie Younger 8:08
Ludingtontown
Cass Maher 8:09
Yep,
Natalie Younger 8:09
That's in the UK. That's 100% in the UK.
Cass Maher 8:11
New Ludington town. Yes anyway so so he got this Intel all the militia was spread out on their farms. And it was they got this at like 9pm so it's dark out and keep in mind they're in New England and so this is not like we're sitting in the the great all God's country Midwest, very flat very easy to see and know where you're going there like fully wooded and it's been raining. It's dark out and it's all muddy. And it's it's this is a hard ride to make. So she jumps on her horse, Star. I felt that was important to know the horse's name
Natalie Younger 8:53
Yeah that horse is a goddamn hero
Cass Maher 8:55
right? And they said she she had a stick, like a pointy stick. That's all she had to like prod her horse and stuff. And she rode she hit four towns. Now keep in mind, Paul Revere got to Lexington stopped and had a drink with Sam Adams
Natalie Younger 9:16
Like you do.
Cass Maher 9:16
waited for his friend. What is it, Samuel Dawes?
Natalie Younger 9:21
Yeah, Paul Revere is using the buddy system.
Cass Maher 9:23
William Dawes. Yeah, he was just like, chilling until William Dawes showed up. And William had the same message. He's like, you guys, guess what the British are? Oh, hey, Paul. What's up? You tell him about the British coming. That's what I was saying. So they hung out how to drink and then we're like, Let's go together. Paul Revere never made it to the town that he was supposed to.
Natalie Younger 9:42
Where was he supposed to go?
Cass Maher 9:43
He was supposed to go to
Natalie Younger 9:45
I don't know any of this. I'm trash with US history.
Cass Maher 9:48
Yeah, but but I don't know what the final town but he got intercepted by the British. Okay. And he was with his friend William Dawes and Samuel Prescott. And they escaped. Paul Revere didn't they confiscated his horse. So he technically didn't finish the ride
Natalie Younger 10:03
what was his horses name?
Cass Maher 10:04
They don't know because he didn't own a horse at the time he had to borrow someone else's like a hack
Natalie Younger 10:09
Just bummin' a horse.
Cass Maher 10:11
I want you all to know I think Paul Revere is amazing. But in relation to this story, it just doesn't.
Natalie Younger 10:15
He doesn't need it. You don't give him the praise. Everyone's like great. He gets it.
Cass Maher 10:19
So he didn't finish his ride. He took time to like hang out with Sam Adams. And then he had to walk back to Lexington where they said he caught the end of the battle. Like it's kind of it's kind of a downer. Great. So anyway, at the end, he was 41 at the time. So Sibel was a 16 year old girl, she made a 40 mile ride in pouring rain, treacherous mud woods that are really easy to get lost in. And she actually got intercepted by a British officer who tried to pull her from her horse. She fought him off with her pointy stick- with her stick. And the reason she had this deck was to you know, proper horse, which friends be kind to animals. But also she didn't get off a horse the whole time. She didn't have time to like, jump off the horse and like knock on the door. Hey guys, sorry.
Natalie Younger 11:09
She was she like rapping on the doors
Cass Maher 11:11
She was rapping on the door while she's on her horse going from house to house like dope British are here, y'all know I gotta hit three more towns. Um, and she has she
Natalie Younger 11:22
activate your phone tree.
Cass Maher 11:25
So yeah, so she gathered 500 militia between the times of 9pm and Dawn which I don't know what that is five 6am it was still dark.
Natalie Younger 11:33
It depends on the time of year
Cass Maher 11:34
It depends on the time of year, Did they have daylight savings time yet? Did Ben Franklin screw us all over by then? Yeah, and I'm looking at my notes. Yeah, so she fought off several British officers. I think a highwayman stopped her too and got 500 militia. The by the time the militia was gathered and made it to Danbury they, they weren't able to save the town. But by that time, most of the people knew so most of the people had gotten out of Danbury
Natalie Younger 12:11
So it was kind of like a ghost town that the British were invading.
Cass Maher 12:13
Yeah, they I think I mean, some people still died and they burned down a few buildings. The reason the British were going there was to intercept like ammunitions and supplies and stuff. So I think they were able to get like, most of that stuff out clear the town a little bit. And when the militia got there, they were still able to force the British to retreat.
Natalie Younger 12:38
Oh, cool.
Cass Maher 12:38
Yeah. into close to the New Jersey sound. Which you guys all know where that is. Yeah.
Natalie Younger 12:45
Sounds like it's in New Jersey.
Cass Maher 12:48
Nailed it. They were they were able to force them to retreat, which then is like known as the battle at Ridgefield, so I don't know that at all. But that was mentioned basically,
Natalie Younger 13:01
I mean, if Sybil wasn't there. We don't care about it anymore for the purpose of this podcast
Cass Maher 13:04
Basically, they did their jobs. Sybil was a bad ass. She was 16 years old. She had 11 brothers and sisters.
Natalie Younger 13:13
That's too many.
Cass Maher 13:14
So there's this really cool story of her dad was in there. This was before the ride. Her dad was like in their home and a bunch of British loyalists. 51 British loyalists were approaching the house to like, capture her dad. And it was just like him, I think they had one guard or patrolman. So Sybil like planted candles all around their house, and she lined up her brothers and sisters and had them march in like a military formation. So all the British loyalists saw was all these candles, and then like faint outlines of like marching a small army of 12 children, and they and they didn't so and then they they went away. They're like, Oh, there's too many people. We can't fight them. We've got 51 they've got a full troop. And that was Sybil.
Natalie Younger 14:08
So theatrical Sybil, the drama!
Cass Maher 14:11
Right. Like that's like, have you ever seen the Patriot where they like make all the scarecrows? Screw Mel Gibson. But she did that but real life and better.
Natalie Younger 14:22
It's like, but but for real and better. And without anti semitism.
Cass Maher 14:29
Woof. We'll get into that in a different podcast. Yeah. Also, her mom and dad are first cousins, which doesn't really matter. But I thought that was funny and weird. Yeah.
Natalie Younger 14:39
That's a product of the times
Cass Maher 14:40
a product of the times. So so she was she made, God, a 40 mile ride at 16. overnight in the rain. That's hard. And fighting off a British person. Just let me tell you, I've done that before, it is hard. And yeah, she was. She was thanked personally by George Washington, which was a big deal. Y'all know how obsessed with George Washington everyone was.
Natalie Younger 15:10
He was the first celebrity
Cass Maher 15:11
he was the first celebrity
Natalie Younger 15:12
American celebrity
Cass Maher 15:14
before they before we came up with our presidential system and everything like George was they wanted to make him their king. Yeah, he was deified like know, if you got to see him. It was like touching Beyonce. So the fact that he personally thanked this 16 year old girl was a huge deal. And, and, and then she just went off to live a quiet life. She got married, she had a bunch of babies. And and she died at age 77. And no one knew about any of this. No one talks about it.
Natalie Younger 15:51
That's a long life for that time.
Cass Maher 15:52
Yeah, right. Um her great grandson, or her grandson or something, was the first one to write it down. And this didn't get published until like 1880 or 1900. So I don't do math that that's almost what like 100 years.
Natalie Younger 16:08
Because they were at that point. I feel like they were like, oh, oh, but But Paul
Cass Maher 16:13
Yeah. But Paul
Natalie Younger 16:16
we can't admit that we were wrong and that we gave all the credit to a mediocre middle aged white man.
Cass Maher 16:23
and so her grandson wrote all this down. And it was like well known history in the town. Like they renamed the town about her. And then it wasn't until this woman historian and like the 1880s found about this story and published it and some magazine or article. And there's this awesome statue at the halfway point between her ride of her on a horse. And like the horse
Natalie Younger 16:47
Fighting a British man?
Cass Maher 16:48
The horse is kind of reared up and she's got her like, she's got her stick in her hand. And she's like, waving it and it's this awesome statue that no one's going to see because it's in the middle of Connecticut like wilderness. But God what a badass broad
Natalie Younger 17:03
That is dope. You know, I've never heard of her.
Cass Maher 17:06
She's really really cool.
Natalie Younger 17:08
I am admittedly very I am. I am quite literally trash with US history.
Cass Maher 17:13
Same
Natalie Younger 17:13
because our country's young and we study things that don't matter in school.
Cass Maher 17:18
Yeah. And then they hit the like,
Natalie Younger 17:20
sorry, Mr. Dolan,
Cass Maher 17:21
they hit these. They hit these like, these random highlights of you know, like Paul Revere has been mythologized.
Natalie Younger 17:30
Yeah.
Cass Maher 17:30
Also during the American Revolution, like, there's no way we should have won that war.
Natalie Younger 17:35
Oh, no,
Cass Maher 17:36
like we had, we had no troops who were all you know, like, like underground - ya know if the British like suspected you they would take out and so I feel like a lot of what helped us win was this like mythologizing and like, you know, the American Revolution was basically just like a inspirational basketball movie where there's that the coach gets, no seriously, it's like it's a buncha it's a bunch of ragtag group that shouldn't win and shouldn't make it to the state finals and then Denzel Washington comes out and he gives a "You Are Titans" gives an inspirational speech and it's - somehow it works
Natalie Younger 18:19
And then we all flap our wings. We all end
Cass Maher 18:21
Americans are all heart
Natalie Younger 18:23
And we quack
Cass Maher 18:23
And not a lot of planning. I feel so so yeah.
Natalie Younger 18:27
Yep, that tracks
Dude that's cool. Ludington, Sybil Ludington
Cass Maher 18:34
only one D which through me - that's not important, but
Natalie Younger 18:40
It's just just the one D
Cass Maher 18:41
is just the one D because the the town name was so long, they had to cut a D just to make it shorter
Natalie Younger 18:46
Jesus. Well, I'm going to go into mine now. Just because we're talking about Sybil Ludington, and what a what a proper name, segue to the most badass name, even though it's not for the correct reasons ever. I am here to tell you the story of Wilma Mankiller.
Cass Maher 19:10
Fuck off. Is that a real name? Or did she change it?
Natalie Younger 19:15
That is her real name. It is a however, it is in reference to a tribal military rank.
Cass Maher 19:25
Got it
Natalie Younger 19:26
And geographic region, but I think it's the military rank first, and then the region she grew up in was named for that. Because of her for her grandfather, neither here nor there. So Wilma Mankiller full name Wilma Pearl Mankiller, because you got to soften it a little. When your lastname is
Cass Maher 19:49
Wilma Mankiller.
Natalie Younger 19:51
When your last name was man killer, you gotta throw a little pearl in there. So I'm jumping, jumping forward in time, to the most of the story takes place in like the 60s 70s. But Wilma Mankiller was born in November 18 1945 that's a day after my husband's birthday. Not in 1945
Cass Maher 20:15
your husband's middle name is also Pearl, which is bizarre
Natalie Younger 20:18
is crazy. In a town I can't pronounce in Oklahoma,
Cass Maher 20:24
show me
Natalie Younger 20:25
Tahlequah?
Cass Maher 20:30
Well, I mean, it's got a Tahlequah. Yeah, there's no way I would have been able to pronounce it better. I just wanted to see it
Natalie Younger 20:36
The confidence, though. She's a descendant of the Cherokee Indians. And they were so there in Oklahoma, because they were forced to leave their homelands, you know, hashtag Trail of Tears, Forced to leave their homelands, to make way for white settlers in 1830s. So she's the descendant of the Cherokee Indians who were relocated there. And then she was kind of subsequently relocated, but she is the sixth of 11 children, big families on this episode, and she grew up on Mankiller Flats, which is located near Rocky Mountain Oklahoma, which I don't know where that is, either
Cass Maher 21:20
Mankiller Flats
Natalie Younger 21:21
Man killer flats.
Cass Maher 21:23
I can already see this movie
Natalie Younger 21:25
Right? You see, like the title pop up?
Cass Maher 21:27
That's like john Ford western action going on
Natalie Younger 21:34
yes. So So I believe that like, I believe that her grandfather, great grandfather had this tribal rank, and therefore that was his last name, or considered his surname. And he he owned like several plots of land and mankiller flats. So the land is indirectly named for her, not her for the land.
Cass Maher 22:00
geography lesson here as well
Natalie Younger 22:02
you know, just doing what I can. So she was she was grew up on mankiller flats, before moving with her family in 1956 to San Francisco, California, as a part of the Federal relocation act to move Indians off of the reservations and into large cities. Because the government can't make up their mind. They're like first Native Americans please move out of your home territories over here. You know what? Now you're all in this place. We'd rather have you in big cities. Let's move you over here. One biography said that they moved in hopes of a better life and they were a poor family with like 13 mouths to feed
Cass Maher 22:39
Also I feel like every history book is like, they throw on "they moved in hopes of a better life" to soften, to 'pearl' you know, that relocation forcibly
Natalie Younger 22:51
well and then another another bio a read said that was her dad Charlie's idea and that her mother Irene was not into it and did not want to go to San Francisco
Cass Maher 23:00
mom's always like "Charlie, I swear to God"
Natalie Younger 23:03
"This is my home Charlie."
Cass Maher 23:06
You wanna Man Killer?
Natalie Younger 23:09
All biographies basically said that, like Wilma didn't want to leave Oklahoma got it. Which I guess lends to spoiler alert she ends up going back to Oklahoma at some point. But so they go to California and hopes of better life but you know, guess what? California was still rough economically even in even in the 50s San Francisco was very expensive.
Cass Maher 23:30
California was never really killing it, I feel like California was a rough place for a long time
Natalie Younger 23:36
Yeah. No, they still were like impoverished in in San Francisco - maybe - I'm just gonna blame tech bros is even though this is the 50s
Cass Maher 23:48
Guys, check out this rotary phone
Natalie Younger 23:51
and surprise, surprise, loaded with discrimination against Native Americans. But reluctance aside it was in California that Wilma first got into activism. I guess I should have started with Wilma Mankiller is a
Cass Maher 24:07
Native American activist.
Natalie Younger 24:09
And the first female chief of the Cherokee Nation
Cass Maher 24:12
we are gilding so many lilies -- wait she was the first female chief
Natalie Younger 24:16
uh huh
Cass Maher 24:16
Wilma!
Natalie Younger 24:18
But, so, activism has been like a through line in her entire story. So they they moved to California. Her first like foray into activism was with San Francisco's Indian center and leader with, and this was a really dope story that I got to then go off on a tangent on, the Native American efforts to reclaim Alcatraz Island. So in...
Cass Maher 24:45
Alcatraz is so cool. I'm sorry. The Rock?
Natalie Younger 24:50
Great Nick Cage movie totally by him as a chemist.
Cass Maher 24:52
I love that movie
Natalie Younger 24:54
Yeah, so Alcatraz has been closed. The penitentiary had been closed in 1964. And been declared surplus federal property. And no, that was in 64, the penitentiary close in 63. And, according to the Treaty of Fort Laramie, in 1868, between the US and the Lakota, all retired, abandoned, or out of use Federal Land could be was, was by right could be reclaimed by the Native American tribes that had been forced out of it to begin with
Cass Maher 25:24
Hell yeah.
Natalie Younger 25:26
So in 1964, well, in 1964 a small group of Sioux demonstrated on the island for like four hours, and they were like, "Hey, can we have this back?" And then in 1969, from November 69, to June 71. So for 19 months, a bunch of American Indians from various tribes and their supporters occupied to the island, and like, lived there. Until they were like, forcibly removed by the US government.
Cass Maher 26:02
Shocker
Natalie Younger 26:02
So they were like, where there was,
Cass Maher 26:05
That's a through line here too.
Natalie Younger 26:08
Yeah. So they, their, their -- Their argument was that they that the Native American people should get Alcatraz Island back
Cass Maher 26:15
Because this in your peoples law, Americans.
Natalie Younger 26:19
Yeah. And they use the they use the Treaty of Fort Laramie as like their precedent. Yeah. legal term. Yeah, so. So this was going on and, and Wilma was was intrigued by it and like, kind of like inspired by it. She would make food and meals and bring them to the people on the island and raise money for their causes. And, so it was in San Francisco that she got like super into activism. But first marriage, she got married at 17. It was 1963. Her husband's name is Hector Hugo Olaya de Bardi. Which I just wanted to say but he doesn't matter.
Cass Maher 26:57
That is a fun name.
Natalie Younger 26:59
right? A lot of names.
Cass Maher 27:00
Hector Hugo.
Natalie Younger 27:01
Hector Hugo Olaya de Bardi. And they had two daughters, Felicia and Gina.
Cass Maher 27:08
Lot of great names in this story
Natalie Younger 27:09
Good names in this story. But it's all this....wait. Yeah. Okay. So she got super into the occupation. She was very intrigued by the occupation of Alcatraz prison. And her husband was like, "Hey, why don't you just remain a traditional housewife?" And she was like, 'Nope, I mean, my name is man killer. So"
Cass Maher 27:33
what do you think, Hector Hugo?
Natalie Younger 27:35
Hector, I don't gotta listen to you. My last name is man killer and I got shit to do.
Cass Maher 27:39
I do what I want.
Natalie Younger 27:40
I don't need no man. Also, they got divorced later anyway, which is why I keep saying he doesn't matter.
Cass Maher 27:46
checks out.
Natalie Younger 27:47
sorry, Hector. So she said, Oh, that time I have this quote, quote, "when Alcatraz occurred, I became aware of what needed to be done to let the rest of the world know that Indians had rights too" and this is when she went like all in on activism. So she took night courses and and like, got her bachelor's while working on as a coordinator for like Indian programs in Oakland public schools. And she did all this stuff in San Francisco. But then like the second she divorced Hector, she was like, "bye I'm going back to Oklahoma. because I never wanted to leave Oklahoma in the first place."
Cass Maher 28:21
Cuz California in the 60s suuuucks.
Natalie Younger 28:23
Um, yeah. So she goes back to Oklahoma and remains living on Cherokee reservation in 1977. And she brings her daughters, she's like "byeeee...she's like their man killers now, we're leaving"
Cass Maher 28:40
Come to my flats.
Natalie Younger 28:41
Yes. Come to my These are my flats.
Cass Maher 28:43
These are your flats now.
Natalie Younger 28:44
These are my These are my sensible flats.
Cass Maher 28:46
Everything the light touches is your
Natalie Younger 28:49
I imagined the light touches a lot on flats, not a lot of peaks to cast a shadow?
Cass Maher 28:54
That's a lot of light, Mankiller.
Natalie Younger 28:57
So she goes back to Oklahoma in 77. And resumes activism in Oklahoma. In 79, I believe is when we begin a trend of Wilma almost dying.
Cass Maher 29:10
Jesus
Natalie Younger 29:10
So, in 1979 she was in a serious car crash she was driving back from I think she was getting her master's. And she was driving back and had to like - from classes to where she was living. It was a long drive late at night. She has like what tried to like around a car or another car tried to go around the car and she gets in a serious had a head on collision. That like she was like in physical therapy and had to have like 17 surgeries and whatnot. But she lives, the driver of the other car does not live, the driver the other car is her best friend. So she gets in a head on collision with her best friend. And then after after recovering she was diagnosed with my my mya...I'm a doctor... myasthenia gravis, a chronic neuromuscular disease that makes speaking and simple motor functions increasingly difficult and can lead to complete paralysis. So that's like basically when she's kind of recovered from the car accident she gets diagnosed with that
Cass Maher 30:15
it's hard to be an activist when you can't talk very well.
Natalie Younger 30:17
Yeah. And there's, but there's, i guess i Cherokee vision of being of good mind which to Mankiller she took it to mean like thinking positively about what happens in your life and kind of taking whatever comes your way and and still doing the best to serve others. So she heckin' kept going. which becomes a theme it because she also had a kidney transplant, breast cancer, and lymphoma and I read one bio that said that she actually had to have two kidney transplants. So by the time..
you only got two of those
so she had no original kidneys
Cass Maher 30:51
in in the 70s
Natalie Younger 30:52
not made with original parts
Cass Maher 30:53
I don't want to get a 17 surgeries in the 70s
Natalie Younger 30:57
Yeah. Big ups to her brother Donald for the kids a donation. At least one of them. I don't know where the second one came from
Cass Maher 31:04
Donny, your mankiller but you saved this woman.
Natalie Younger 31:08
Aww what a great logline for Donny's life story. But this isn't about Donny
Cass Maher 31:16
No.
Natalie Younger 31:17
So after not dying like the first time, question mark, she took charge of the newly created Community Development Department of the Cherokee Nation. And the core of her activism in Oklahoma was kind of around what she called like self help projects. Basically, she would she would design projects that would for like rural communities that would help better them, but they were like designed to be like where you're going to help better yourself like this, you it's they would do the she would design projects to like get the community involved so that they could play a role in their own betterment and help solve their own problems and whatnot.
Cass Maher 31:55
Teach a man to fish
Natalie Younger 31:56
Yeah. The most notable one was a project in Bell, Oklahoma. It's a small village on a reservation where volunteers from the community helped construct an 18 mile long water system because they didn't have fresh water and repair dangerous housing. So that was the one
Cass Maher 32:13
was this woman just exhausted all the time?
Natalie Younger 32:16
from probably from almost dying constantly.
Cass Maher 32:18
Yeah. Hey, hold on guys. I have limited speech and motor functions
Natalie Younger 32:23
and every cancer
Cass Maher 32:24
let me get my masters also running rural outreach development programs with probably no funds and
Natalie Younger 32:32
and raising two, I'm sure, badass daughters
two Mankillers.
Yeah, two mankillers -- takes a lot out of you
Cass Maher 32:38
damn, all well thinking positive thoughts.
Natalie Younger 32:40
Yes. So the project at Bell, the water system, got her recognized in Ms. Magazine as Woman of the Year in 1987. So good for her
Cass Maher 32:49
it better.
Natalie Younger 32:50
And she met her, she met her second husband working on that project cuz I believe he was a volunteer she recruited. His name was Charlie Soap.
Cass Maher 33:01
So many good names.
Natalie Younger 33:04
It's a good name. It's a good-- Charlie soap.
Cass Maher 33:06
He should have taken her last name.
Natalie Younger 33:08
He was a full blooded, Native American -- full blooded Cherokee. And was totally cool with her not being a traditional housewife. I'm sorry, I'm hating so much on Hector.
Cass Maher 33:20
Hector Hugo.
Natalie Younger 33:21
But so all of that is just like that's before she even did what she's like most known for.
Cass Maher 33:26
Oh, we haven't even hit that yet?
Natalie Younger 33:28
We haven't hit her becoming chief.
Cass Maher 33:29
Oh, that's right.
Natalie Younger 33:30
Yeah. So she became she became deputy principal chief of the Cherokee Nation in 83. And then the principal chief resigned in 85. He resigned to take a position in like the some Federal Bureau Bureau of Indian Affairs or something. Something
Cass Maher 33:49
bureaucratic
Natalie Younger 33:50
bureaucratic and seemly, incorrectly named. And, and so. So she became the first female principal chief of the modern Cherokee Nation by like, just default because she was deputy. Yeah. And at that, I think at that time, and still, the Cherokee Nation is the second largest tribe in the US after the Navajo but yeah, so she just took over for him because he left for the other role. Yeah. So she had to run for reelection. So she ran for reelection in 87. And even though she had already done the job, had a hell of a time. Like faced a lot of opposition.
Oh, yeah.
Not for any like, particularly like stances, but just because she was a woman.
Cass Maher 34:38
Yeah. Cuz clearly she had done the work and had proven she can do her job.
Natalie Younger 34:43
She done the work at that point for two years
Cass Maher 34:44
you know that word 'electability' that we keep hearing?
Natalie Younger 34:50
Yeah, like her car is vandalized, she was threatened. And what's weird about this is that I guess like, in traditional Charokee culture, like women play a vital role in social and political issues like and women are women. empowered women are like a normal thing.
Cass Maher 35:07
Yeah, it's not a matriarchal society. But they are
Natalie Younger 35:09
No, there's like a balance
Cass Maher 35:11
But they are very valued.
Natalie Younger 35:14
So, in one of her in her autobiography, Mankiller argued that like European conquest, disrupted kind of that idea of balance between the two genders in the Cherokee Nation, and,
Cass Maher 35:27
and also a lot of Native American tribes believe in multiple genders, that there are multiple genders.
Natalie Younger 35:34
That's fair.
Cass Maher 35:34
That's dope.
Natalie Younger 35:36
so yeah, so she just felt that having a female chief was like a good - a small but strong step back to achieving that gender balance.
Cass Maher 35:46
Oh, that's awesome.
Natalie Younger 35:47
That they used to have traditionally before Europeans came and fucked up everything,
Cass Maher 35:53
man, we kind of did a lot of that...fuckin up things.
Natalie Younger 35:57
Yeah. Shared History: What did what did...
Nat & Cass 36:02
How did white people ruin this / How did the whites ruin everything?
Natalie Younger 36:06
I mean, that could literally be the tagline of most things.
Cass Maher 36:11
Most history books.
Natalie Younger 36:12
most history books. But obviously she won the election in 87. Ran again for reelection in 91. Won again. And then retired in 95. Because
Cass Maher 36:26
Girl needs a break! Oh my god,
Natalie Younger 36:29
she cited illness and I'm like, I feel like ill health... you, you carried through a lot ill health. You get to--You don't need a reason to retire.
Cass Maher 36:38
Wilma you couldn've use ill health as a reason to retire a long time ago, you're tired.
Natalie Younger 36:43
Like you've you've done enough.
Cass Maher 36:45
You did the work.
Natalie Younger 36:47
When she was chief she focused on like education and job training and health care
Cass Maher 36:51
a lot more of that, like, self sufficient.
Natalie Younger 36:54
Yeah, helping yourselves. She also worked with the federal government to pilot like, more self governance of Native American tribes. She worked with the EPA, and she, she, I love this, "She worked to improve the image of Native Americans while staunchly combating the misappropriation of Native Heritage."
Cass Maher 37:16
Oh my god.
Natalie Younger 37:18
Yes.
Cass Maher 37:18
That's a big task.
Natalie Younger 37:20
Yeah.
Cass Maher 37:20
Especially in the 70s.
Late 70s and 80s, trying to be like, "yes, we agree. We're important and our culture and our heritage is impressive and important. Please stop taking it as your own."
Yeah. Village People
Natalie Younger 37:35
Please stop buying your children dream catchers.
Cass Maher 37:39
Hey, Coachella take off the headdresses.
Natalie Younger 37:42
Yeah, I had a dream catcher as a kid. And I'm like, I feel bad about it.
Cass Maher 37:47
I went to summer camp, and we made them all the time with like yarn and stuff.
Natalie Younger 37:52
What a beautiful piece of heritage that you made...your traditional yarn dreamcatcher. But yeah, so by the end of her tenure, like the budget for the Cherokee Nation was like 150 million dollars. And they and the membership population had like doubled. And yeah, and then after leaving office, because she was like, "Guys, I don't feel great. And I've done a lot. I'm tired," and then retires and immediately is like, still lecturing. Still like, like, authors, several books.
Cass Maher 38:29
She's a woman who's like, you know what, I'm gonna take a break and focus on me. All right, I've got a rally coming up. We're gonna have some speeches and some outreach stuff.
Natalie Younger 38:39
I gotta teach a class at this local college. I think she taught at Dartmouth, that's not a local college,
Cass Maher 38:46
Of course she did
Natalie Younger 38:46
you know, small college, Dartmouth
Cass Maher 38:48
casual you ever heard of Dartmouth?
Natalie Younger 38:49
ever heard of it? You wouldn't hear of it, it's very small.
Cass Maher 38:53
Do you know what she got her master's in?
Natalie Younger 38:55
I do not know what she got her masters in.
Cass Maher 38:57
I'm sure it was some sort of, like, like, women's lib or like, you know Poli Sci, it was probably like a double masters. But like "I don't need to talk about that. I got work to do."
Natalie Younger 39:10
Yeah, yeah, she's like, "I don't need it. I'm just here to like, help you help you. I just want to help you help yourself." She received numerous honors, appropriately so.
Cass Maher 39:21
Thank God.
Natalie Younger 39:23
One of which being the Presidential Medal of Freedom, which she received in 98. So it would have been with Clinton. Yeah, there's a bunch of other people who got that, I think a Rockefeller got it that year. Because Rockefeller is gonna Rockefeller,
Cass Maher 39:40
Lean and Rockefeller.
Natalie Younger 39:42
Lean with it and Rockefeller it
Cass Maher 39:43
He worked so hard accruing his millions.
Natalie Younger 39:46
Yeah, I mean, thanks, as an art kid. Thanks, Rockefellers, for being patrons of the arts. Thank you, Rockefeller, specifically for the hit TV show. 30 Rock. You did it David Rockefeller. Thank you.
Rip Camillucci 40:04
Thank you for your address.
Natalie Younger 40:06
Yeah, thank you.
Rip Camillucci 40:07
Wilma Mankiller completed a master's degree in community planning at the University of Arkansas
Cass Maher 40:13
checks out thanks, Rip.
Natalie Younger 40:14
Yeah,
Cass Maher 40:14
Thanks producer Rip
Natalie Younger 40:15
Rip on the ones and twos and the actual facts
Cass Maher 40:18
beat dropped.
Natalie Younger 40:21
That was a--
Cass Maher 40:21
drink
Natalie Younger 40:27
--that was....that was a beat drop that we were talking about. It's just it's just Rip dropping a fact.
Rip Camillucci 40:34
Oh, yeah, we call facts beats here on Shared History.
Cass Maher 40:38
Hey, you got the beat on that? Yeah, let me drop it real quick.
Natalie Younger 40:42
Yeah, so that's, uh, that's Wilma Mankiller. She is sadly no longer with us. She passed away in 2010 of pancreatic cancer
Cass Maher 40:51
wait, when she was born, she was born in 34? 45
Natalie Younger 40:54
45. Yes.
Cass Maher 40:56
How old is she? What's math?
Natalie Younger 40:57
I'm bad at math. What is that? That's a 6--
Nat & Cass 41:01
That's gotta be 75?
Cass Maher 41:05
Sybil Ludington outlives her
Natalie Younger 41:06
Please hit the comments with better math than we can do.
Cass Maher 41:09
Sybil Ludington outlived her if that's it
Natalie Younger 41:10
Yeah, that's insane
Cass Maher 41:11
But also, she did a 40 mile ride at 16 and had plenty of time to chill after that. Yeah.
Natalie Younger 41:16
Also, did Sybil Ludington have every cancer?
Cass Maher 41:19
Probably not.
Natalie Younger 41:21
And like no clean drinking water?
Cass Maher 41:23
Oh, God
Natalie Younger 41:23
and or Well, I was gonna say or electricity but Sybil Ludington didn't have electricity.
Cass Maher 41:28
But she's good at riding a horse. No Sybil, you are awesome. And we thank you for your service to this country. Also, Wilma was probably just like, "another kidney? Cool. Go ahead. Do what you gotta do. Doctors. I'm working. Yeah. Can I have like a standing desk while you're doing all this?"
Natalie Younger 41:44
Yeah, I have plans. So can we just like Hurry up this second kidney transplant?
Cass Maher 41:51
I just hate hearing these stories. When it's like, oh, she was busting her ass and so overqualified. And doing the work and it doesn't even seem like a footnote. Because I've never heard this in anything.
Natalie Younger 42:06
Yeah. When I like i was -- i hate US history. So I was like, trying to figure out who I was gonna talk about. And I really wanted to do, I really want to do a woman of color. And I was like, Oh, I found so many activists are women of color in this country. It's insane. And also 100% justified and believable. And there should be many more activists that are not people of color because they need to stop doing all the work for us.
Cass Maher 42:38
Like a nap. Let me help. Yeah.
Natalie Younger 42:41
But uh, I started, I read just like a little blurb on her. And I was like, I wonder if there's like, enough here. And then I got into this and I was like,
Cass Maher 42:51
and Wilma was like, "hold my beer."
Natalie Younger 42:53
Yeah.
Cass Maher 42:54
Cuz I'm working. I can't drink right now.
Natalie Younger 42:56
Yeah, I can't drink right now. I have things to do. I have communities to rebuild.
Cass Maher 43:02
Oh, my God.
Natalie Younger 43:03
I have impacts to make. I have--
Cass Maher 43:06
and I have like several illnesses
Natalie Younger 43:07
tribes on Alcatraz to feed. And two beautiful daughters.
Cass Maher 43:12
and two beautiful daughters.
Natalie Younger 43:15
Who are also probably very smart.
Cass Maher 43:16
Yeah. I wonder what they're doing now.
Natalie Younger 43:18
well tune in next time....I do want to read, I have a quote because Obama issued a statement after her passing
Cass Maher 43:27
drop that beat
Natalie Younger 43:28
because she passed away during his presidency. He said, "as the Cherokee nation's first female Chief, she transformed the nation to nation relationship between the Cherokee Nation and the federal government and served as an inspiration to women in Indian country and across America." And he stated "her legacy will continue to encourage and motivate all who carry on her work." I just any opportunity to quote Obama I'm going to take
Yeah, Yes, we can.
Yes. We could.
Cass Maher 43:58
Oh, wompwomp.
Natalie Younger 44:02
On that note,
Cass Maher 44:03
Yes, we will. Yeah.
Natalie Younger 44:08
But yeah, I just, I just really liked that her story was one riddled with disease and great names.
Cass Maher 44:16
Seriously, can we recap some names quick?
Natalie Younger 44:19
Charlie Soap
Cass Maher 44:20
Charlie Soap. Hector Hugo
Natalie Younger 44:23
Mankiller
Cass Maher 44:24
Wilma Pearl
Natalie Younger 44:25
Wilma Pearl Mankiller
Cass Maher 44:26
Irene and what was Dads name?
Natalie Younger 44:28
dad's name was Charlie as well.
Cass Maher 44:30
Oh, yeah. And Donny mankiller and
Natalie Younger 44:33
Hector Hugo Olaya de Bardi and Felicia and Gina. And Donny, Donny and his kidney.
Cass Maher 44:41
Donny and those kidneys.
Natalie Younger 44:42
Donny and those kidneys.
Cass Maher 44:43
Wow.
Natalie Younger 44:44
Yeah, I'd never heard of her.
Cass Maher 44:46
No.
Natalie Younger 44:47
But that's what we're here for.
Cass Maher 44:49
That is why we're here to share history with y'all
Natalie Younger 44:54
dude, I-- reading about this too, also, like I went down so many rabbit holes because like I could do it whole episode just on the Occupation of Alcatraz because it's like, I just think it's really interesting. It should be the plot for the sequel to The Rock. And it's like so interesting and like and also sad. Because I mean, they're not, they aren't there. But still just, now it's just like a tourist destination. But yeah, I'm glad that like you did like a rebel because I almost did one that was more about like colonial days.
Cass Maher 45:33
Yeah.
Natalie Younger 45:34
I'm glad that like, it just so happened that you went colonial and I went within the last century
Cass Maher 45:40
Started with the colonizers and ended with the
Natalie Younger 45:42
Yeah, started with start started with the colonizers and ended with the indigenous people. With the native people.
Cass Maher 45:49
Yeah, you and I aren't huge history buffs or I mean US history buffs.
Natalie Younger 45:54
No.
Cass Maher 45:56
I think part of that is it's so hammered into us in, like grade school and stuff. And it's very much like "look at how great..."
Natalie Younger 46:08
I would love to study US history in a different country. Like I would love to like study. I wish I'd studied abroad.
Cass Maher 46:16
Yeah.
Natalie Younger 46:17
And taken like a US history.
Cass Maher 46:19
Yeah.
Natalie Younger 46:20
I don't know that. I wanted to that. I would care too much to take the US history. Like, in like if I had like, if I was like in London. Likfe if I was in England. I don't think I'm
Cass Maher 46:29
--all right. So our cousins got mad at us. And they threw a hissy fit. And we love our tea and they threw it all away.
Natalie Younger 46:38
Yeah, they threw away all of our tea. It was a really rough time for us.
Cass Maher 46:41
Yeah. No, it'd be awesome to get the outside perspective. I'm sure a lot of the bullet points would be the same, but the tone would be a bit different.
Natalie Younger 46:49
Yes. And I'm sure that like, also, yeah, just other countries of, other nations have been around so much longer.
Cass Maher 46:57
Yeah. Americas real young.
Natalie Younger 47:01
Yeah, we BBs
Cass Maher 47:02
Yeah.
Natalie Younger 47:02
I once student taught in -- when I was in high school, I student taught an eighth grade US...seventh grade? seventh grade US history class. Shout out to Mr. Cheney whose not gonna listen to this but if he did, I would lose my mind. I loved that man's class. I, he, I like student taught with him. And I had to teach. He taught US history. I wanted to student teach history. And he happened to be my cooperating teacher and it was US history. And I was like, ugh. But I had to teach you the Declaration of Independence. And I taught it as a breakup letter. Because when I was in middle school, everyone I broke up with I did it via note. So it seemed like it would resonate with the seventh or eighth graders in the audience to teach breakup letter.
Cass Maher 47:57
Dear Britain, it's not me. It's you.
Natalie Younger 48:02
we slid this into Britain's locker
Cass Maher 48:04
will you let us have own country? Check Yes, No or Maybe. They said no. We changed that
Natalie Younger 48:10
We're gonna do it anyway. Yeah, we, we crossed-- they said no, but they did it in a pencil, so.
Cass Maher 48:16
PS there's a map on the back of this ...bring it back to Nic Cage.
Natalie Younger 48:22
PS here's where we hid all of the treasure.
Cass Maher 48:25
Say what?
Natalie Younger 48:27
Tray-sure
Cass Maher 48:28
Yeah, US History was always really boring to me because we are such a young nation then it's like cool. We're spending like 12 years in school going over a little bit of this where it's like when you do you know European history or-- that's really the only history we get. You literally got thousands a years on that, so it's like a little variety.
Natalie Younger 48:48
I took a class in high school that was a golden age of the Mediterranean and we like started at like Mesopotamia and like went through the Renaissance?
Cass Maher 48:59
which you probably barely got to touch on anything
Natalie Younger 49:01
Yeah, it's just like--
Cass Maher 49:01
because so much happened inbetween that... cool. They made a painting, statues.
Natalie Younger 49:07
Big wooden horse
Cass Maher 49:07
Split from a lot of churches, bunch of schisms
Natalie Younger 49:10
Yeah we're going to spend one week on all of the schisms, we're gonna cover all the schisms in one week. I will lightly touch on some on some papal orgies in that. There will be there will be an episode of this podcast where I'll cover papal orgies. And then great everyone had the plague and now it's modern day.
Cass Maher 49:33
Cool. If you want to learn any more about this take a really hyper specific elective.
Natalie Younger 49:37
Yeah. Or watch Mamma Mia....to learn about the golden age of the mediterranean. The true Golden Age of the Mediterranean.
Cass Maher 49:46
I feel like this podcast is like the Mamma Mia historic, historical, you know, it's like we're going to talk about this but we're just gonna, we're gonna have fun. and maybe sing a little
Natalie Younger 49:54
and no one can see it but we're definitely wearing huge bell bottoms and platform shoes
Cass Maher 49:58
but there also is a strobe light where Rip is behind on the ones and twos.
Natalie Younger 50:01
Yep. And Rip is wearing like a real like plunging neckline with just chest hair. just magnificent chest hair.
Cass Maher 50:09
Yeah, it's...I wish you guys could see this. It's Fabulous. Yeah.
Natalie Younger 50:14
he's doing this for just for us.
Cass Maher 50:16
Yeah. He spent a lot-- he bought all this equipment just for this
Natalie Younger 50:20
Yes. All this AV equipment.
Cass Maher 50:22
Yo, great story
Natalie Younger 50:23
Yeah so that's the story of Wilma Mankiller. That's Yes. Sybil Ludington. I'm surprised I had never heard of because
Cass Maher 50:28
Yeah, because she
Natalie Younger 50:30
because she's a white woman.
Cass Maher 50:31
She's a white woman. She is like, I feel like she is always, not always, but it is a little more well known Female history. I feel like you can hear abou--you have a better chance of hearing about her. But it would always be like, there's this chick named Sybil, she's good at riding a horse.
Natalie Younger 50:48
"She did it first"
Cass Maher 50:53
Wow, we that was a lot of history.
Natalie Younger 50:55
Yeah, I hope everyone learned.
Cass Maher 50:57
Thanks for sharing.
Natalie Younger 50:58
I hate you so much.
Cass Maher 51:00
You said Wilma Mankiller wrote a memoir.
Natalie Younger 51:06
She has an autobiography.
Cass Maher 51:07

Natalie Younger 51:08
