September 16 is Independence Day in Mexico, and visitors here in Mexico City can expect fireworks, fiestas, and décor in the colors of the Mexican flag—red, white, and green. In Mexico City, Independence Day festivities begin with a reenactment of the ‘Grito de Dolores’ (Cry of Dolores), an event in 1810 when priest Miguel Hidalgo rang the bell of his church and called for a revolt from Spain. Each year, on the eve of Independence Day, Mexico’s president rings the same bell that Hidalgo rang and delivers a patriotic speech at the National Palace.

mexico's independence day is coming up and i just can't stop thinking about Regulus spending the holiday with James' family and just praying to god his stomach can handle all that food but also him watching in absolute awe as James sings with the mariachi and violently blushes when he gets closer to sing to him and everyone impressed with how well Regulus can handle not only tequila but also mezcal and it just warms my heart to think of Regulus feeling so welcomed and happy in James' life

Viva México

I'm a day late but have Aph and Miguel dancing in folclórico clothes for Mexican Independence Day :3

Some headcanons for yall about them going to the plaza to go see el grito:

☆First ones when the dance floor opens, literally no shame the moment the music starts they are ON IT.

☆Buy coordinated snacks so they can maximize snack coverage over the different puestos, if Miguel buys pozole, Aph is buying tamales, if Aph buys churros, Miguel is ready with the elote, the one thing they only buy one of is a big thing of horchata and they have to keep buying because they will drink that shit until there is no more

☆Definitely the couple who are just hugging while looking at the fireworks, Miguel's chin over Aph's head, hands wrapped around his girl and Aph finding his hands in hers THEY ARE SO MELOSOS I LOVE THEM

☆If there's attractions you bet your ass Aph is making Miguel get on them with her, Miguel doesn't care much for them but Aph loves them

☆The one night a year where they both drink, normally if they are gonna drink which isn't often one of them will drink while the other stays sober or maybe has one but nah this is the one night where they are like fuck it

☆If you are curious Aph's drink of choice is those strawberry Caribe Coolers while Miguel's I think would just be plain beer, maybe Modelos, Aph hates the smell and taste but will only tolerate it when he kisses her or is near her, she's just that smitten

☆OVERDRESSED AS FUCK, mostly because of Aph, she is really fucking extra when it comes to any holiday but Miguel doesn't mind and makes sure to be just as excited as her when choosing what they are gonna wear

☆Miguel definitely buys those wax makeup sticks with the Mexican flag on them to put on his cheeks, grabs Aph by the cheeks and applies it while she giggles

☆By the end of the night they are TIRED, they walk home and when they get there they just crash on the couch, half dressed still and Aph stealing Miguel's sombrero to cover her face because she doesn't want the sun to hit her face the next morning.

[sillybigbird]

It's Mexico's independence day so heres some facts I know, but you can tell my favorite subject and the only one i could really pay attention in elementary school was History

Independence battle was started in 1810 (15-16 of september) and ended in 1821 (September 27th)

The revolution also started in a 10, 1910. (This was a revolution against the dictador Porfirio Diaz)

In 2010 the goverment make so many conmemorative events for it since it was 200 years from the independence and 100 of the revolution i even have a bill of that year

We find funny the stereotypical characterizations of the Mexicans. We are actually proud and glad of the interest.

We almost got governed by a French man, in fact, a lot of historians think we would be better if he made it to the power (he was executed after the French invasion)

The 5 of may conmemors the victory of the Puebla's forces against the French army (it was literally pure peasants with machete against French troops, it was a huge win even if we lost the thing after that lmao)

Where I live theres a huge seasonal fair that the goverment puts bc here was the main battle. The fair is next to the forts of the battle, and its crazy expensive so It's been years since i visited it)

Mexico City is actually constructed over a huge lake, where in the prehispanic times Tenochtitlan used to be. Tenochtitlan was full of man-made islands that held pyramids, villages, plantations. It was huge genius. The civilization settled there was the Mexicas (me-shi-cas) or better known as Aztecs. But with colonialism (1521) arrived and they literally burried all of that, the lake is still there and México city sinks over 3 cm per year.

Colonialism lasted over 3 centuries.

We actually have royalty: when we first were freed, the democracy wasn't implanted over the first couple of years as a free country. We had like 3 emperor until a new constitution was made and we were able to vote for our presidents. The last descendants of the last emperor are alive and residing in europe

Our famous president is Benito Juarez a peasant who scaalled until president, was built like a penguin and his most famous phrase is "Respeto al derecho ajeno es la paz" (Respect for the rights of others is peace). It's an inspiration for a lot of attorneys here. During his presidence the country's capital changed over 5 times because he was the one who had to held the French invasion.

Women vote its legal since 1952

Our presidencys lasts over 6 years.

We're going to have a new constitution soon and we're all fucking scared

We have an inside joke that in the north states the people dates their cousins (sweet home alabama Monterrey)

We all hate Santana (The guy who sold half of our contry)

The main religion practiced here its not catholicism. Its "Guadalupanism". Because theres a myth of an appearing of a Mary Virgin in (also) México city. 12 of december is another huge date bc of that. This religion is practiced over the 60% of the population (according to inegi)

In september 13th (also by the time of the French invasion) there was a confrontation Mexicans vs Frenchs in the Chapultepec Castle (Home of next to be French-mexican emperor) where the French tried to take over, but they were running so low in forces they needed help of the military academy with spldiers between the 12 and 19 years old. The history books said that was 6 kids that leaded and defended the castle, all dying in battle in such heroic ways (one of them involved himself in the flag and jumped of a rooftop to land over a French troop). There's a monument where their tombs are supposed to be. But this was recently discovered to be a myth and there's not actual historical evidence of this event. They were called "Niños heroes" (Hero kids)

For most of us, independence day is just an excuse to drink alcohol, eat a lot of typical food (I love my Dad's pozole. I LIVE FOR MY DAD'S POZOLE) and commit Arson.

My Dad makes such a delicious traditional Pozole.

Did I mention that i love my Dad's pozole?

My favorite food of here is cochinita pibil (traditional dish from Yucatan). And my favorite pastry is napolitan Flan, and impossible cake (a variant of Flan but with chocolate cake), my Dad recently taught me how to do Flan. I stand for Hibiscus Water bc im lactose intolerant and i cant drink horchata. My favorite candies are Santa Clara's Cookies and camotes (both typical from my region).

I like parties, how are made here. They're so fun.

My country is going to the shit and I'm so fucking scared
