#oh don't mind me i'm just an alien#my mom was adopted#her grandmother is descended from alexander hamilton according to my grandmother#which would seem to track because my grandmother's mother was a hamilton herself#all well and good#that much is likely a verifiable truth#became a bit weird the other night about how my grandfather's surname implies that his family may have held titles in england#of course it could just be that his family worked for someone with a title in england and took that surname#which would be funny considering how high and mighty they all act#anyway i can't verify anything there with any degree of certainty#but one website claimed that alexander hamilton was descended from william wallace#and that he was distantly related to catherine parr#no idea if that's true or not but i just think it's funny how i'm writing that play about henry viii's wives#i'm likely not even a blood relation (have no idea what the white side of my dad's family was and no idea whatsoever about my mom)#but it's just like on the one hand i hate to think i'm part of a lineage of aristocracy#it would be terribly off brand for me#but also having multiple revolutionaries in the family would make sense to me as well as the eerie choice of hyperfixation on henry's wives#makes you wonder if ghosts just linger and pick one specific family member and had to settle on me#because their actual bloodline became very obsessed with status quo#anyway i don't always agree historically with every choice these figures made i just think it would be interesting coincidence#also thanks i hate it#also it literally doesn't matter because i'm an alien i'm not really from anywhere#it's not like i ever met anyone cherokee besides my father and his grandparents#so who the fuck am i really and why would it matter
