With the Ari and Dante movie inching closer and closer to us everyday I cannot help but be paranoid that they’re gonna water down my beloved Danta Quintana to just having general insecurity or have it mostly be tied to his sexuality rather than having a VAST MAJORITY of his insecurities be directly tied to the fact he is a light skinned, first generation, no sabo, latine with a more privileged status than a majority of his family and the general latine community around him

#when I say he is just like me for real #I fucking mean it #Benjamin Alire Sáenz put a mirror to face and said look when he wrote this character #Dante Quintana single handedly raised the bar for all Latino rep for me #I simplest cannot stand mid tier latine rep anymore #*cough cough* The Owl House *cough cough*#everyone told me to read this book cause of the queer rep and vaguely mentioned the Hispanic side of these boys #but if you are Latine and haven’t read it #do yourself a favor and do so now #it is 10000% a book that if you are not latine you will NOT get in its entirety #it’s why I can’t read fanfiction for this book cause not a single one has actually properly understood Dante’s character #aristotle and dante discover the secrets of the universe #dante quintana
