Sofia Madrigal Prepon Headcanons;

Her full name is Sofia Azucena Madrigal Prepon.

She is 15 years old by d3.

Her birthday is January 1st and she was born at midnight while her twin sister was born on December 31st at O’clock. Meaning that they technically have different birthdays despite being born only four hours apart.

Sofia is the younger twin of Amelia, the older half sister of Carlos, and the adoptive sister of Hugo and José.

She is the biological daughter of Yanamaria Earlene Maldonado Amaya and Mentiroso Diego Esposito Sosa but neither she nor her twin sister talk to either of them, and she never will. She much prefers her adoptive parents, Camilo Madrigal and Mina Prepon.

Between the twins and Carlos, Sofia is the one who misses their biological mother the most. Though given how things ended with her mother, that is not exactly a good thing.

The fact that her mother thought of her as a monster has greatly affected Sofia's mental health and confidence.

Camilo has been in her life since before she was even born and married her mom (his first wife) when she was just two months old.

She has a slightly lighter skin tone than her bio mother—Yanamaria—with a pointy nose, dark brown (almost black, now) eyes, a pointed chin, and long, straight, dark brown hair with choppy (almost uneven) bangs.

After Sofia got her gift her looks changed ever so slightly—making her taller than Amelia, her teeth sharper, her nails longer/sharper, and her more gaunt-looking. It also changed her aura, making her come off as much more dangerous/creepy than she is when in reality she’s mostly harmless.

This is one of the many things Sofia is insecure about.

She is a student at Auradon Prep—and the only reason she likes going there is because it means she gets to spend time with her boyfriend, Prince Diego of Cordoba.

She’s not very popular at Auradon Prep: most people there don’t even know she exists and the ones who do? Well, most of them don’t like her or are scared of her. Or both.

She’s a member of the Art Club and Sewing Club.

Sofia has always wanted to be a taxidermist, a forensic anthropologist, coroner, or an archaeologist when she grew up: those are her dream jobs. Her ideal work.

She has the gift of nightmare Manipulation and Animation which is the opposite of Amelia’s gift.

Sofia has fewer nicknames than her twin, Amelia, does. The most notable of which are Sof, Fia, Angel, So, So-So, Sia, Fifi, Sofy, and Soph-Bear.

There’s also ‘Amelia’s twin’ but she doesn’t answer to that for obvious reasons.

Unlike Amelia, Sofia does not like her gift and does her best to use it as little as possible. Something that she wishes her twin could try to understand and respect more often. She doesn’t understand why Amelia struggles to understand why she wouldn’t like her gift—she thinks it’s pretty clear why one would hate the ‘gift’ she has.

And though Sofia would absolutely never say it she does resent the miracle and Pedro for giving this gift to her, and by extension, she somewhat resents Amelia for getting the better gift.

The brunette has been described as socially awkward, shy/quiet/introverted, paranoid, anxious, moody/emotional, clingy, insecure, pitiful, fearful, sullen, and odd as well as weak willed. But she is also frugal, hardworking, curious, cautious, friendly, even tempered, well behaved, soft spoken, and wouldn’t hurt a fly.

She has also been shown to be willing to take abuse if it means getting to have a friend: something that her family is aware of and always hyper aware of when meeting new friends of hers.

Sofia has been made the scapegoat by people outside of her family more than once: something that has made her fearful, anxious, and bitter due to the ill-treatment she’s received based on nothing more than her gift.

Though Sofia doesn’t particularly like attending Auradon Prep, that doesn’t mean that she hasn’t made any friends. In fact, she has a decent amount including but not limited to: Sleepy Bergmann Jr, Baren Hood, Gesundheit Bergmann, and Crabby Bergmann.

She also used to be friends with Scarlet and Carter Bluefairy-Carmelo but that is no longer the case due to her not liking the way they reacted to the news that the vks were coming to Auradon. Though it should be noted that unlike previous friends of hers, they were never mean to her or violent with her.

Sofia has trouble saying no to people and has even worse trouble when it comes to standing up for herself. Though luckily for her, the rest of her immediate family and several of her extended family are more than willing to do so for her if it’s needed. Especially Amelia.

The twins are inseparable despite their differences and would do anything for one another, and have done so.

Such as on one memorable occasion where Sofia hid a ton of bugs in one very persistent boy’s locker after he refused to believe that Amelia wasn’t straight, and kept pursuing her.

Or the time a few homophobes had nightmares for weeks after harassing Amelia to the point of tears not long after she and Rosana started dating until they confessed to what they’d done.

Sofia rarely converses with anyone outside of her friends and family.

She collects bugs/insects and has cases to store them. She also has a soft spot for nature's outcasts and sympathizes with them quite a bit.

Sofia prefers rock n' roll, rap, screamo, and heavy metal while Amelia is a bigger fan of pop, high hop, country, and classical—though some of their favorite songs overlap with one another's musical tastes.

They both like dancing and singing but different kinds.

Amelia finds the talking taxidermy animals in the house creepy while Sofia finds them calming, charming, and sees them as friends.

People tend to prefer Amelia over Sofia—which bothers Amelia a lot more than it bothers Sofia (that isn’t to say it doesn’t bother her at all).

Between her grandparents Amelia is closest to Félix because she finds him less intimidating than Pepa, though she does also like spending time with her grandma just as much.

Between her parents, she is closest to Mina because she loves the fact that she can tell her and Amelia apart.

Between her aunts and uncles, she is the closest to Dolores because she can easily hide away with her without anyone trying to talk to her and because her aunt doesn’t like people that much either.

Her favorite out of her dad's cousins is Luisa because she finds her to be lovely, understanding, and fun—and because she doesn’t try and make her come out of her shell.

Out of her siblings, she's the closest to Hugo because he’s just as shy and quiet as her, and Amelia because they’re best friends.

Out of her cousins, she is the closest to Fuega, Cyriacus, Rory, and Oscar.

Sofia was pleasantly surprised and overjoyed that her Bisabuela Alma approves of Diego: something that none of her siblings or cousins have teased her for because they all know how important it was to her.

Sofia has a pet vulture named Sweeney who is known for biting people.

Her best classes are Biology, Math, and Life Skills Without Magic but her absolute favorite class is Art.

Her worst classes are Heritage and History, Physiology, and Smiling but her absolute least favorite class is Chemistry.

Her favorite foods are Coconut Seafood Chowder, Chip’s Grilled Cheese (Grilled Cheese With A Tomato Slice), Escargot, and Pineapple, Sardine, Onion, Green Pepler, & Artichoke Pizza.

A food she absolutely cannot stand is Eggs Florentine.

Her favorite drinks are Root Beer, Ice Tea, and Strawberry Milk.

Her favorite snacks are Savory Sandy Cookies, Chocolate Pretzels, and Beef Jerky.

Her favorite desserts are Glowing Caramel with Fresh Cheese, Pear Tarts, and Chocolate Cobblers.

Her favorite candies are Chocolate Dalmatians, Villain Stripes, Tongue Tinglers, and Poison Apples.

Her favorite books are ‘Fever Dream’ and ‘Labyrinth Lost’.

Her favorite holidays are Halloween, Día de los Santos Difuntos, and Christmas.

Her favorite animals are vultures and Crows.

Her favorite teacher is either Grumpy or Bess the never fairy.

Her least favorite teacher is Mr. Deley, absolutely no questions asked. Though Fairy Godmother used to be a close second due to the conversation she and Sofia had after the incident where she gave those kids harassing Amelia nightmares.

Her least favorite holiday is New Years Eve because it’s Amelia’s birthday and she’s always reminded of how much more people like Amelia over Sofia. Especially when her own birthday is the day after.

Her favorite colors are lavender, black, light blue, and white.

Her favorite school event is Field Day because she can spend it with her friends. Though Pasta Mondays are also fun and Diego always tries to make them special for her.

Her favorite business in Auradon is ‘Jack Skellington’s Spooktacular Haunted House’: though Dr. Facilier's shop and Arcade become a close second and third once the barrier is brought down.

Her favorite radio station is ‘Doomed Isle Tunes’, which Casita showed her when she was little.

Her favorite TV channel is ‘Courtesy Central’ now, but it used to be Evil Isle.

Her favorite shows are ‘Pretty Little Liars’, ‘Stepsister-Stepsister’, ‘Real Princesses of Charmingsville’, ‘Say Yes To The Hex’, and ‘Little Dwarfs, Big Giants’.

Her favorite social media sites, other than Auratube, are ‘Royallr’ (Tumblr) and ‘Scrolled-it’ (Reddit).

Her favorite Auratubers are AskAuradonPrepOfficial, The Gothic Arts (Anxelin’s Channel), The Donkey-ettes (if her cousin, Ligera, asks that is), and I Dream of Jordan (Jordan’s Channel).

Her favorite songs are ‘Fuck Your Fairytale!’ (by the Bad Apples) and ‘Warped Reflection’ (by The Donkey-ettes).

Her favorite band is ‘The Bad Apples and The Dragon Slayers’. Though she also likes Freddie Facilier’s music and would like the band Hadie eventually forms.

Her favorite video game is Swarm and Crown of Duty.

Sofia has subscriptions to “Wicked Weekly’, ‘Artist Daily’, ‘Royal Digest’, and ‘Mirror Mirror’: They’re her favorite magazines. When the barrier is brought down she also gets subscriptions to the isle magazines, ‘Belladona’ and ‘Where The Sun Don't Shine’.

She also has access to Amelia's Bobbity and AuraJive accounts/ subscriptions.

Her hobbies include but are not limited to drawing, painting, pottery, candle making, watercolor painting, origami, scrapbooking, papermach, reading, knitting, embroidery, photography, star gazing, sewing, taxidermy, miniature art, doll making, sculpting, quilting, dancing, cosplaying, tattooing, beta reading, needlework, crocheting, numismatics, journaling, yoga, and animal grooming.

Sofia is camera shy and gets stage fright easily, hence why she wasn’t on ‘Toddlers Without Tiaras’ with her sister.

Sofia can play the xylophone and the organ.

Sofia doesn’t like to be touched but can be very affectionate with her family and friends regardless.

She's also not very squeamish and absolutely loves horror stories, comics, and movies.

Her best friend, aside from Amelia of course, is Gesundheit Bergmann.

Sofia is surprisingly good at saying tongue twisters—something even Amelia isn’t good at.

Sofia does well at school and wishes people would acknowledge that more than they do her gift or that people would at least acknowledge the stuff she’s good at, other than the stuff she can’t do or her gift.

While she loves her sister, it does get annoying being compared to Amelia all the time even if her family and friends never do it.

It also gets annoying having people ask where Amelia is whenever they see the two of them apart because while they do spend a lot of time together, they aren’t always together. Even if they are nearly inseparable.

If she wasn't afraid of making people angry with her, she would rightfully point out that people shouldn't be so surprised given how much they hate her and exclude her from things they invite her sister to.

Sofia borrows/steals her boyfriend’s hoodies often (though it should be noted she never takes his favorite ones and always returns them washed).

While Amelia volunteers/occasionally works at Isabela’s Greenhouse and her and Bubo’s Oddities shop, Sofia prefers working/volunteering at the Encanto Animal Sanctuary that their uncle, Antonio, runs with Luisa and Ryder. She enjoys helping with the animals and being able to give them comfort.

Though that doesn’t mean she never helps out at Isabela’s greenhouse and shop. She does—she just usually sticks to helping with the more…odd… plants their father’s prima makes.

Amelia has both a latex allergy and an avocado allergy, while Sofia does not.

Sofia does better in Biology, Math, and Life Skills Without Magic than Amelia does.

Sofia knows about Amelia’s Atelophobia, Autophobia, and Kinemortophobia, and is trying to help her sister slowly overcome them so she has a more healthy fear of them.

Though Sofia has Autophobia too. She also has Athazagoraphobia and is afraid of being hurt by others.

This fear has made her hesitate when it comes to making decisions.

Never ask what she likes about Diego because she’ll become a mumbling mess and sputter about how she can’t just pick one thing because he’s such a great friend, person, boyfriend, etc (according to Carlos, anyway).

Sofia and Diego can often be found together with or without Rosana, Amelia, and their other friends—you can usually find them having lunch together under the bleachers.

She has a lot of nervous habits including fidgeting, playing with her hair, lip biting, scratching, and nail biting.

Sofia can't stand Annabelle Scorfano for the exact reasons as Amelia. She thinks the girl is a snake and if it wasn't for the fact Tito would get upset if she did, Sofia would hit her.

Sofia's first word was ‘Lo siento’: said to Tito after she accidentally knocked him over.

Between Amelia and Sofia, Sofia was the first to walk. She was also the first to talk.

Sofia was the less colicky of the two and was the more content baby.

Sofia and Amelia have matching friendship bracelets that they made each other shortly before their gift ceremony. Sofia gets anxious when she's not wearing it or the Spectriss necklace that Diego made her.

Sofia, like Amelia and many others in their family, daydreams a lot but her daydreams usually involve Diego and their future.

These dreams can vary: either they're living in the Encanto, his kingdom, or a place in the middle of nowhere where no one can bother them ever again.

They'll have their own house if they can't stay in Casita, that's a mix of their own cultures and Auradon culture. There will be a garden with beautiful flowers and the two of them will decorate it how they please. They'll have a makeshift theatre in their backyard and an art room where they can work on their different projects.

There will be a place in the backyard for Sweeney and a big beautiful guest room for their friends and family to visit.

And maybe, if they want, the two of them will eventually have kids (they haven't discussed it yet because they want to take things slow).

Sofia proofreads Diego's comics and graphic novels.

Diego made a comic called ‘The Angel of Scapegoats’, where he based the ‘monster’ on Sofia. The monster who kills abusers.

Sofia has a copy of it framed and signed in her room: she thought it was sweet.

A lot of people think that Sofia and Diego are going to become serial killers but that's not the case at all. Neither of them could hurt a fly.

They have movie nights the second Friday of every month and game night every Saturday (if they’re at school that is).

Diego and Sofia often play board games and video games together when they’re alone.

Their initials are carved into several desks and trees around school (Diego makes sure to check for tree nymphs aren’t attached to it and that the tree doesn’t have any historical importance before he carves into them, in his defense).

Sofia’s door has a faded light blue frame and shows her standing sideways with a frown and her hands clasped in front of her—behind her is a myriad of horrific looking things like spiders, monsters, vultures, and skulls lurking and peeking out around her carved into a much darker wood than the rest of the door. Its glow is fainter than everyone else’s.

Three of the walls inside of the room are a Blue-gray color while the fourth shows a mural of her and Diego dancing at a ball, reminiscent of Cinderella’s. Off to the side of the muriel is a pink door leading to Amelia’s room.

The floor and ceiling resembles rotting dark wood—and it's partially covered by a large, fluffy pink rug.

In the corner between the left blue-gray wall and the painted wall/mural is a large white coffin with a mattress and bedding on the inside. The bedding is lavender and cotton. The covers and bed set are white with blue-gray stripes and gold linings. The blanket is a weighted one and the pillows are made of memory foam—the most comfortable kind according to Sofia.

Adorning the bed is a small but fluffy white and gold quilt with a pattern of vultures, feathers, and crows with purple shadings that Mirabel made her when she was a baby and several stuffed animals that she holds very dear to her heart. One of which is the stuffed crow Mirabel made her when she was just a baby named ‘Sof’.

Sofia will readily admit that she can’t sleep without her baby blanket and her crow, and she’s not embarrassed to admit it because she thinks it’s understandable given what she’s been through. It’s not really something she hides so far more people know about this than people who know about the fact Amelia also can’t sleep without her own stuffed animals and blankets.

Unlike Amelia, Sofia doesn’t have the stuffed animals her bio parents gave her anymore because she gave them away. She couldn’t bear to look at them after they abandoned her.

On the right of her bed is a beautifully crafted black and lavender vulture shaped nightstand. On top of this nightstand is a picture of her and Diego at a party in their halloween costumes—Sofia was Bloody Mary and Diego was the ghost of Christmas Yet to Come. Both of them are laughing, unaware that a picture is even being taken—as well as a framed note passed to her by Diego in Biology. The note reads ‘Would you like to go to the Seaside Festival with me? Check YES or NO.’

In the corner of the wall holding the entrance to Sofia’s room is a modest vulture enclosure and a small bat-shaped, stained glass window showing a beautiful but ominous looking sunset that her vulture can come and go from as pleases. Under the window is a door to a walk-in closet with a trapdoor inside where she hides when she gets too overwhelmed (it also makes for a good hiding spot for things she’s not technically supposed to have, like gory cosplays).

Her room is slightly bigger than Amelia’s is.

Across from the vulture enclosure is a stage with pink and gold curtains where Sofia practices her dance moves. There is a radio and some speakers in the corner of this stage.

Beside her door and across from her bed is a white sheet that she watches her shows on when the projector above her bed/coffin is playing.

Next to the stage is a white and gold desk with blue and lavender flowers painted onto it: this desk holds a majority of her art supplies and finished art works: on top of this desk is a pink and white swirled pattern vase filled with Hooker’s Lips (the flowers), Naked-man orchids, and Corpse flowers—as well as the aforementioned signed and framed comic Diego created with her in mind, a paper mache module skeleton that Amelia made for her, a trophy she won in an art contest, a ribbon she was rewarded for her excellent sewing skills, and two framed photos. One of her and Sofia at Sofia’s Quinceañera—standing back to back: both of them grinning ear to ear as their partners extended their hands to dance, both with goofy smiles on their faces—and one of Sofia from when she was about six. She’s on Mina’s shoulders, laughing and trying to hide her face in the stuffed animal that Mina had won her at the carnival.

Sofia also a black and gold vanity desk with lights that holds all her makeup. The makeup she uses for cosplay is separated from the makeup she uses for date nights and casual events. Taped to some parts of the mirror are pictures of her with her friends, family, and Diego.

The walls of Sofia’s room are decorated with posters from her favorite bands, shows, and movies, as well as some framed honor roll and attendance award certificates and pictures of her and her family

There’s a picture of her holding a newborn José, looking panicked as he sleeps soundly in her arms. There’s another of her and Amelia playing dress up with Carlos and Hugo when they were all just barely old enough to walk. There’s one of her and Camilo dancing at someone’s gift ceremony when she was about three. There’s a couple of her and Diego on dates—one with him making a funny face at her and another of her putting up her fingers as if they were horns, causing him to choke on his drink.

There’s also a couple of her and her friends moments before disaster. There’s one of Sleepy Jr snoring away into his pancakes with syrup in his hair as Sofia tries to wake him up. One of Baren Hood and Crabby Bergmann glaring at Mr. Deley’s retreating back, water balloons in hand. There’s another of Diego dashing towards a mid-sneeze Gesundheit ‘Gus’ Bergmann who was carrying a towering cake (that had been a mess to clean up). Another showed Amelia and Rosana covered in flour in the kitchen of Auradon Prep. There’s a picture of the whole group on a rollercoaster. There’s even a picture of Sofia, Carter, and Scarlet at a week-long summer camp they went to when they were about 12.

Sofia also has a laptop covered in horror movie stickers and meme stickers somewhere in her room.

Both the vanity table and the desk have large, comfy blue and lavender rolling chairs. She also has a couple of bean bag chairs stashed away in her closet in case her friends are over.

Her backpack can usually be found hanging off one of the chairs in her room.

Sofia’s room is her safe place. She loves her room and doesn’t know what she’d do without it.

Her favorite animals are doves, swans, and chameleons.

Despite the fact their rooms are conjoined, Amelia and Sofia can’t just waltz right in whenever they please. If the other twin doesn’t want them in their room, Casita will not allow them in. That way they have some privacy.

Whenever Sofia’s gift acts up, she finds it difficult to wake from her nightmares. If she’s animating something into the real world when her gift acts up, it turns into Amelia—but instead of smiling at her or trying to comfort her like the real Amelia, it starts hurtling insults at her. Saying all the things Sofia fears her loved ones might think of her.

When Sofia is overwhelmed or upset in her room after not talking about it with anyone (not even Casita) for a while, all the people in the pictures in her room disappear (except for herself) and her birth mother can be heard saying “Who could ever love you?” and “Look what you’ve done, you monster. Now you’re all alone.” The word ‘alone’ will echo like in that one episode in SpongeBob until she completely breaks.

When she’s upset or alone in her room but she has been talking with people about it, Casita will rock her bed gently. It calms her.

Out of all their children, Mina and Camilo worry about Sofia the most. This is due to some concerning self-destructive behavior she showed in the months after her birth mother abandoning them.

Sofia also doesn’t like her birthday because it just reminds her of when her mother left.

Sofia would never admit it but sometimes she wishes she wasn’t a twin.

Speaking of demonyms, I think other places should follow Uruguayan demonym conventions of different degrees of opaqueness and randomness. For fun.

You can start easy with something like the people from Lavalleja being called Minuanos (because the capital city is Minas) and progress through the people of Treinta y Tres being called Olimareños (because of the river Olimar), the people of Maldonado being called Fernandinos (because in colonial times the main town was called San Fernando de Maldonado), the people of Paysandú being called Sanduceros (shortening is cute), the people of Canelones being called Canarios (your guess is as good as mine if it comes from the canelones themselves or because there were actual Canarians there at some point) and then end in the absolute madness of people from San José being called Maragatos.

El coro infantil del conservatorio José María Rodríguez

Es un grupo cultural y artístico musical, que inició en el año 2008. Con una trayectoria de 16 años, ha ganado reconocimiento tanto a nivel local en la ciudad de Cuenca como a nivel nacional e internacional. Este conjunto coral, dirigido por la destacada directora María Eugenia Arias Maldonado, está compuesto por niños y niñas de entre 7 y 17 años, quienes, a lo largo de su formación, han inculcado valores como la responsabilidad, compromiso, disciplina y respeto, fundamentales para su desarrollo tanto como artistas y como personas.

Su participación en eventos de renombre como "Carmina Burana", "Navidad es Nuestra" y "Misa Criolla" ha sido gratificante, al igual que sus colaboraciones con el coro juvenil y, en particular, con el prestigioso Ballet Nacional del Ecuador. Su alcance se ha extendido participando en festivales internacionales en Argentina, Paraguay, Chile y Estados Unidos. Han cautivado a audiencias de todo el mundo con sus interpretaciones en producciones operísticas como "Bundibár", "Quiende, el fuego y el Gigante" y "Ciudad Bajo el Mar".

Su próximo repertorio "Tajuno y la Luna". Programada para estrenarse los días 22 y 23 de mayo en el Teatro Casa de la Cultura a las 20:00 horas, promete desarrollar una historia de reflexión e inspiradora además de ofrecer una presentación cultural única. Con una contribución de 5 dólares, el público tendrá la oportunidad de aportar el crecimiento y la excelencia artística de estos pequeños coristas.

Con entusiasmo, el coro infantil del conservatorio José María Rodríguez abre sus puertas al público para esta gran obra. Su invitación es un gesto de gratitud hacia la comunidad y una muestra de su compromiso con el arte y la cultura.

Cuidado Del Medio Ambiente

ENSAYO

CUIDADOS DEL MEDIO AMBIENTE

El medio ambiente es el espacio en el que se desarrolla la vida de los distintos organismos favoreciendo su interacción, por lo tanto, es algo que nos tiene que llamar a la reflexión sobre cuidado a todos los seres humanos, los seres humanos hemos sido los encargados de dañar y deteriorar el medio ambiente en el que habitamos actualmente. Debido a estos daños que hemos causado, nuestro futuro ya no lo tenemos asegurado, los recursos escasean y la calidad de vida va en decadencia.

En muy poco tiempo, los seres humanos hemos llevado a cabo la tarea de acabar con la flora, la fauna, el agua e inclusive el aire que nos rodea, esto ha provocado que cada día sea más difícil sobrevivir en este planeta.

Si los seres humanos nos hemos encargado de destruir al planeta, ya es tiempo de que también nos encarguemos de detener esto y reconstruir la Tierra. También somos los principales causantes de su destrucción y descuido ya que a raíz de las acciones del hombre se han generado muchas problemáticas en el medio ambiente como: el calentamiento global, deforestación, contaminación, etc.

Por lo tanto, nosotros somos también el responsable de cuidar el medio ambiente porque la contaminamos muchos con las fábricas, los carros, motos, cualquier tipo de vehículo excepto las bicicletas, construcciones, todo eso puede dañar la capa de ozono. El CO2 es lo que mas daña la capa de ozono y de tanta contaminación se esta haciendo un hoyo gigante. Se derriten los polos y sus fatales consecuencias las tendremos que enfrentar dentro de poco tiempo.

En mi opinión es que si las grandes empresas se están comprometiendo con el medio ambiente y el desarrollo sostenible, ya es tiempo de que nosotros, los principales causantes del deterioro ambiental, pongamos en marcha planes de apoyo y acción con el fin de ayudar; Sería bueno que se implementara por parte del gobierno y de la sociedad en general un fin de semana al mes, dedicado al cuidado del medio ambiente con actividades familiares que fomenten el cuidado y prevención de daños, por ejemplo plantar árboles en lugares desiertos, o ir a recolectar basura e inclusive hacer talleres o un pequeño curso de cómo reciclar algunas cosas que ya no nos sirven, o con desechos orgánicos e inorgánicos.

El medio ambiente son los ecosistemas en los que vivimos tanto como personas o animales, hoy en día los ecosistemas están demasiados deteriorados debido a la contaminación de nosotros, autos, fabrica, basura, etc.

Para cuidarlo podemos empezar en tomas las siguientes precauciones en no usar:

Menos autos, mas bicicleta y compartir el vehículo en la familia.

La Electricidad se tiene que ahorrar, apagar o dejar de usar luz cuando no se debe.

No tirar la basura en la calles o lugares donde no se recolecta, evitar quemar basura.

Debemos de consumir menos plástico y papel.

Esas son algunas de las acciones que en mi opinión son las mas importante en utilizar para reducir la contaminación, la contaminación hace que la capa de ozono se debilite y el efecto invernadero aumente cuando se debilita la capa de ozono los rayos del solo entran directos a la tierra y podemos sufrir enfermedades graves como deshidratación, cáncer de piel, etc. También la tala de arbole hace que disminuyan el oxigeno y aumente el dióxido de carbono.

Por lo tanto, tenemos que enseñar a cuidar el medio ambiente para que nuestras futuras generaciones puedan vivir en un mundo verde y así también puedan aprender el respeto y valorar la vida del medio ambiente ya que:

“La Naturaleza Puede Sobrevivir Sin Nosotros, Pero Nosotros No Podemos Sobrevivir Sin Ella”

Comuneros, la revolución que pudo ser

Por Isabel García

Comunes el sol y el viento común ha de ser la tierra, que vuelva común al pueblo lo que del pueblo saliera. (Los Comuneros. Romance de Luis López Álvarez. 1972)

Los acontecimientos que se vivieron hace 500 años en tierras de Castilla podrían haber cambiado el curso de la historia de España. Así lo cree un buen número de historiadores que ve el levantamiento comunero no solo como una revolución, sino como la primera gran revolución de la era moderna en Europa y adelantada a su tiempo. Una revolución frustrada pero que, para muchos, dejó los mimbres de la esencia de una nación en su lucha por la conquista de las libertades.

El 23 de abril, Día de Castilla y León y fiesta oficial de esta comunidad autónoma, se conmemora el aniversario de la batalla de Villalar, con la derrota del movimiento comunero y el apresamiento y ejecución el día después de sus tres principales líderes, Juan de Padilla, Juan Bravo y Francisco Maldonado. Ese 23 de abril de 1521 se daba fin a una aventura que puso en jaque al todopoderoso Carlos V y que sigue sirviendo de inspiración para movimientos políticos y sociales en la España contemporánea.

El documental Comuneros de Pablo García Sanz, estrenado en 2022, recupera este episodio histórico con el testimonio de historiadores e investigadores y una narración espléndida entrelazada con los versos del romance ‘Los Comuneros’ que el poeta berciano Luis López Álvarez escribió en 1972.

Tras la muerte de Isabel la Católica en 1504, la Corona de Castilla se sumió en una crisis institucional que duró dos décadas. Aunque la heredera natural del trono era Juana I de Castilla y siguió siendo oficialmente reina hasta 1555, fue apartada de todo poder real primero por su padre, Fernando el Católico y después por su hijo Carlos I, que se autoproclamó rey de Castilla y Aragón. La naturaleza de un monarca, al que muchos veían como un “extranjero”, que trajo a su corte de flamencos a Castilla, valiéndose del dinero y riquezas del reino para convertirse en emperador, levantó recelos en las élites castellanas que derivó en la conocida como ‘Guerra de las Comunidades’.

“La integración de Castilla en el imperio se presentaba como una catástrofe nacional. Había que defender, incluso conta el rey si llegaba a ser necesario, los intereses del reino”, nos cuenta el historiadorJoseph Pérez en su libro Los comuneros. Para ellos, el reino estaba por encima del rey, y dada la dejación manifiesta de Carlos V por los intereses de Castilla, según pensaban, intentaron basar su legitimidad en su madre, la reina Juana, recluida en Tordesillas hasta su muerte, pero no lo consiguieron.

Los comuneros, la comunidad, el común… “Siempre hablaban de volver al orden, es decir, recuperar el orden, en ningún caso ellos entendían que estaban haciendo algo malo, declararse comunero en ese momento era declararse en comunidad para lograr el bien común”, señala en el documental la historiadora Claudia Möller. Su objetivo era someter a la nobleza y al rey a la ley “adelantándose a una teoría que en el resto de Europa tardaría aún siglos en cuajar: el principio de representación política”, afirma Joseph Pérez. El hecho de considerar este movimiento como una revolución y no como una rebelión o una revuelta, radica, a juicio de los investigadores, en la proclamación oficial de la Santa Junta en Tordesillas, máximo órgano dirigente del movimiento. ‘Santa’ no por religiosa, sino por ‘universal’. Además, los comuneros dejaron por escrito un esbozo de Constitución, la ‘Ley Perpetua’, precisamente ‘perpetua’ por su carácter supremo, al que estaban sometidos todos, incluida la propia figura del rey.

En su libro, Joseph Pérez alude al historiador José Antonio Maravall, autor de otro trabajo publicado en 1963 bajo el título Las Comunidades de Castilla. Una primera revolución moderna. En el mismo, el historiador afirma que “con los comuneros se llega implícitamente a concebir el pueblo como unidad y a considerarlo, en consecuencia, capaz de ser sujeto del poder”.

Carlos V venció a los comuneros tras la victoria de Villalar y la ejecución de sus tres principales líderes. Pero su venganza se prolongó durante mucho tiempo, con la ejecución, cinco años después del obispo Acuña, clérigo español que participó junto al bando comunero, y la persecución de María Pacheco, esposa de Padilla, que no solo murió exiliada en Portugal, sino que el emperador también le negó ser enterrada en su tierra natal, Toledo. La represión también se extendió contra los descendientes de los líderes. Tal saña, por parte de Carlos V, explica en buena medida la amenaza de primer orden que supuso para su reinado la revuelta comunera. Si Padilla, Bravo y Maldonado hubieran conseguido la firma de Juana en la ‘Ley Perpetua’, su hijo hubiera perdido todo poder y la historia de España podría haber sido diferente: a partir de ese momento, se impuso en España y en toda Europa la monarquía absoluta.

UN MOVIMIENTO LIBERTADOR

En el siglo XIX, los comuneros se convirtieron en manos de los liberales en un movimiento libertador. “El liberalismo militante del siglo XIX redescubre a los comuneros, convierte en mártires a sus jefes y enarbola la bandera en su nombre para luchar contra el absolutismo”, escribe Joseph Pérez. Décadas después, el propio Manuel Azaña, escribía: “Los comuneros sí querían ser libertadores. Querían librarse del despotismo cesarista, del gobierno por favoritos, del predominio de una clase”.

En el documental, el historiador Julio Valdeón asegura que “los comuneros de Castilla son un punto de referencia imprescindible para todos los movimientos de la España contemporánea que tenían como objetivo fundamental la conquista de las libertades”. Y el historiador Salvador Rus va aún más lejos al señalar que los cuatro valores fundamentales de la Constitución de 1978: libertad, igualdad, justicia y pluralismo, “eran los pilares que sustentaban el movimiento comunero”.

Para la historiadora Möller de la Universidad de Valladolid, el movimiento comunero “tiene unas connotaciones increíblemente revolucionarias entonces y ahora». Asegura que «no tiene nada que envidiarle a la revolución francesa, lo que pasa es que Francia siempre construye unos relatos extraordinarios y no entiendo porque nosotros no lo hemos construido con los intelectuales que hemos tenido, no lo puedo entender. Es hora de empezar a escribir el relato verdadero de lo que ha sucedido y entenderemos porqué festejamos el 23 de abril [día de Castilla y León]. Es una gran revolución, y además una revolución moderna anticipándose muchos años a la francesa».

Y un último apunte: ¿por qué la bandera republicana es roja, amarilla y morada? El Gobierno de la República acordó añadir una franja morada a la bandera bicolor como reconocimiento al pueblo de Castilla. Se basaron en una tradición liberal que creyó que el estandarte comunero era violeta cuando en realidad era rojo carmesí. Un error, debido seguramente al desteñido de los tejidos, ajados por el tiempo y al desgaste, llevó a esta confusión histórica.

Muy recomendable el documental ‘Comuneros’ disponible en Netflix; y el libro de Joseph Pérez ‘Los Comuneros’.

Carlos Madrigal Prepon Headcanons;

His full name is Carlos Manuel Madrigal Prepon.

He is the biological child of Camilo Madrigal and Yanamaria Earlene Maldonado Amaya. Adoptive/step child of Mina Prepon.

His birthday is April 1st.

He doesn’t acknowledge Yanamaria Earlene Maldonado Amaya as his mother anymore—no one knows whether this is because he genuinely forgot or if he is still holding a grudge about what happened the night she left.

When he was a little kid, if anyone other than his grandparents, Bruno, or Antonio babysat him, they would have a very difficult time. Yes, that includes Mirabel. He was a very picky child.

In d3, he is a first year student and a member of the Drama Club, Film Club, and School Newspaper—for which he writes the Gossip column. He is thirteen years old when the whole Queen of Mean mess takes place.

Camilo fainted when the news broke out and Pepa stormed during the entire thing—the storm was very, very, very violent and led to no one being able to leave the Encanto or get into it.

Carlos was fine—he wasn’t even aware anything was going on at all, in fact. He had been cooped up in his dorm room writing a paper about the summer school gossip when cursed and had been under the impression that he’d just had a long nap after dying his own hair partially red until his very frantic family showed up.

He was very pouty about missing it—kinda like how Camilo was after the family got the full story of what happened during the events of Encanto.

Carlos resembles Camilo to an uncanny extent but if you look closely you can see that his freckles are more prominent, his skin tone is a bit darker—the same as his bio mom’s—, and his hair is straighter black—again, like his bio mother’s. He also has buck teeth with a gap in-between them.

Camilo was in shock at how much Carlos looked like him.

If you look close, you can also see that he resembles Pepa as well.

When he was two he got in a fight with an Opossum because it stole his blanket. It bit him on the forehead (which scarred). He bit it back.

His favorite colors are clay red, brown, yellow, and orange but Carlos favors orange.

Carlos wants to be a script writer and film director when he grows up—he has ever since he was four.

He has the gift of voice mimicry and is scarily good at mimicking people’s speech patterns despite it not being a part of his gift.

He's dating Eleanor Bluefairy-Carmelo and is friends with the Bell Triplets, Macarla and Manto Athanasiou, CJ Hook, Ally Liddell, and Amy Radcliffe.

Carlos has been described as snarky, sarcastic, sneaky, mischievous, impulsive, chaotic, wild, playful, nosey, moody, dishonest, bratty, lazy, defensive, angry, and disrespectful. But he’s also intuitive, curious, creative, daring, street smart, thrill seeking, helpful, and a bit of a con artist.

He’s also messy.

Unlike Mariana who can’t stand being called ‘Mirabel’ or being nicknamed as ‘mini Mirabel’, Carlos doesn’t really mind being compared to his dad or being called ‘Mini-Camilo’. Camilo—who has had identity issues and hates being called by other people’s names when he’s not trying to prank people or actively shifted when he was younger—minds much more than he does and has been trying to nip it in the bud since Carlos was a baby.

Carlos does not like being referred to as ‘the Madrigal Carlos’ and glares whenever someone refers to him as such when he’s in earshot, however. God help you if he hears you refer to him as such.

Between his parents, Carlos is closer to Camilo.

Pepa is his favorite grandparent.

Bruno is his favorite great uncle.

His favorite of his dad's siblings is Antonio.

Out of his siblings, Carlos is closer to Hugo and José but he loves his sisters just the same. Even if he finds Amelia a bit annoying due to how bossy she can be.

Out of his cousins, Carlos is closest to Leta and Belinda and would even go as far as calling them his favorites. Though he is also close to Marcelo.

When he was seven he overheard a conversation between Mirabel and Alma which led to him finding out that Marcelo (then five) before Marcelo himself and the other Madrigals did.

He was also how Camilo found out because he asked him about it.

Carlos can be a real sweetheart when he wants to be.

More than one person has called him the ‘jerk cousin’.

If Carlos is quiet, it is never a good sign. It usually means that either he's getting into trouble, has a question his parents are not going to like, or he's upset/scared.

He had the worst tantrums out of his generation (so far, anyway. One has to remember that Juan and Javier could still beat him out in a couple of years).

Carlos has been nicknamed ‘los, Car, Mini Camilo, Mini Me, Pequeño ladrón de voz, Mischief, and Diminuto.

He had an orange and yellow parrot companion he named ‘Mellizo’ who he loves very much and who he loves teaching new words too.

Mellizo likes biting people.

Carlos takes good care of Mellizo. Making sure his cage is clean, that he has good food and entertainment, etc.

Carlos has two stuffed animals that he loves dearly—an orange and yellow stuffed chameleon that belonged to his dad as a baby that he named ‘Mine’ and a stuffed Lyrebird named ‘Copiar’ that Mirabel made him.

He also has a brown and orange baby blanket with yellow chameleons and laughing/talking parrots on it that Mirabel also made him (they look like they’re talking/laughing anyways).

Carlos’ best class is ELA because it's the only one other than art and maybe history that even remotely cares about.

His favorite foods are Sunrise Beef Turnovers and Spaghetti and Meatballs.

His favorite drinks are orange juice, mint chocolate chip milkshakes, tea, and orange Fanta.

His favorite dessert is ‘colored mountain meringues’ and jelly donuts.

His favorite candy is Tongue Tinglers.

His favorite shows are Dr. Jiminy, Auradon’s Ninja Warriors, and The Young And The Crownless.

His favorite band is ‘Talking Dragons’.

His favorite band if anyone asks is ‘The Donkey-ettes’ since his girlfriend, Eleanor, is a part of it—his favorite song of theirs is ‘Song Of Stars’.

His favorite song is ‘Rather be with you’.

His favorite book is ‘How We Came To Be: Creatures Of Camouflage and Mimicry’ abd 'A Mischief Maker's Guide To The Galaxy'.

His least favorite holiday is the King Beast Honorary Holiday.

His favorite holiday is Halloween.

His favorite school event (other than school plays) is the Hip Hop Dance Contest.

His favorite video games are Fix-it-builds (aka Auradon’s version of Minecraft in my au) and Go-Go Ballroom dancing.

His favorite business in Auradon is ‘Mad For Tea’.

His favorite social media sites are InstaRoyal, Royallr, and AuraTube. Though he has access to several others so he's able to keep an ear out for any gossip or potential first page stories.

His favorite animals are parrots and chameleons. They always made him laugh when he was little.

His favorite sport is dodgeball. You do NOT want to be on the opposing team as him.

He secretly hates Fútbol with a fiery passion. He sucks at playing it and doesn't find it very fun but he would never tell his father that because he knows Camilo loves playing the sport with him.

Like Pepa, Carlos can always tell when someone is actually Camilo shifted without fail. Even as a baby he could tell.

Carlos is a pretty convincing actor and loves taking part in plays. He's always taken any role he's been given to play very seriously, even when it was something as small as playing parent to a doll in a game of house.

He fell in love with Eleanor after realizing how sneaky she was after she somehow fooled one of their teachers into thinking that she hadn’t taken part in a prank that she most certainly had.

He is pleased when people compare him to his stepmother, Mina, because he holds her in high regard and it just reinforces the fact that he is not really Yanamaria’s in the ways that matter.

Carlos can be quite vengeful but the hell he will rain down on anyone who causes any type of harm to the youngest kids of his generation—José , Vera, Renata, Amada, Juan, Javier, Dayana, Avila, and Giovanni—does not compare to the usual chaos and vengeful acts that he usually causes on the behalf of those he loves. He’s especially protective of José given that they’re five years apart in age and he’s the youngest of Carlos’ children.

Carlos is scared of needles, doesn’t like blood, and trying to get him to a doctor outside of Julieta is hell on Earth.

He was a cranky baby and the moment he was out of diapers, he was getting into mischief with both Hugo (his younger brother) and their cousins (Leta and Belinda).

Before José, Carlos was the messiest of Camilo’s kids.

Sometimes, he feels like his gift is rather lackluster compared to everyone else’s gifts but he rarely ever voices these thoughts.

Carlos’s hobbies include: writing, acting, shopping, fashion, drawing, sewing, making jewelry, reading, prop making, set designing, some sports, gossip collecting, pool, hair styling, psychology, horseback riding, fishing, anthropology, karate, stand-up comedy, skating, ice skating, and pulling pranks.

Despite being only thirteen, Carlos is very particular about his hair and face and skin and what products he uses on them.

He is also very good at taking care of his teeth—mainly because he wants to look nice but also because he had a traumatizing experience with a dentist with he was younger (think a mix between Finding Nemo and Final Destination).

He learned how to ice skate from Eleanor and is teaching the skill to Hugo, Belinda, Leta, and the younger kids. José loved it.

Eleanor and Carlos often do artsy things like painting and drawing together, and will occasionally pull pranks with one another.

Eleanor also helps Carlos study for the classes he struggles with.

Carlos’s pet names for Eleanor are Ellie, Stealthy, and Ice Princess.

Amelia and Sofia dropped him as a baby a couple of times and told no one.

He and Leta have horrible luck.

One time Camilo said ‘I know my kids, they wouldn't do that’ and all of his kids—Amelia, Sofia, Carlos, Hugo, and José—just side eyed each other. Carlos was the first to laugh about the ridiculousness of that sentence.

When Carlos was three He, Hugo, Belinda, and Leta gave Camilo a heart attack by deciding that he and Leta were going to jump off the railing leading to the courtyard on the second floor as the other two egged them on. Luckily Camilo was able to catch them before they did.

Funnily enough that is Carlos’s earliest memory—Hugo, Leta, and Belinda do not remember this at all. Or so they claim.

Carlos loves cosplay and will give Mariana pointers on it.

He likes Isabela’s potato people and doesn’t understand why his dad and some others in the family find them weird/creepy. Though considering that the taxidermied animals, Bruno’s rats, and the other animals in the house don’t creep him out, that’s probably not saying much.

One time, when he was about two he got in an argument with his dad about whether or not Casita counted as a Tía to him. Camilo did not win that one and gave up on the argument after an hour.

Carlos adores puppet shows but this wasn’t always the case. When he was little, he got lost in town and joined a crowd of kids watching a puppet show—and for some reason, the main puppet scared him. No one knows whether or not it was because the puppeteer startled him by putting the puppet in his face or what. All anyone knows is that Camilio was furious in the ten or so minutes it took him to figure out why exactly his toddler was crying (the puppeteer still runs whenever he sees Camilo or Carlos).

He’s had two sleepovers outside of Casita as a kid. He hated them.

He knows a lot of slang, a lot of languages, how to play a couple of instruments, and it terrifies people because it makes it harder to tell when it’s him.

Mariano once caught a toddler Carlos making fun of him the exact way Camilo did and asked if Camilo cloned himself.

Carlos also did the whole ‘ __ Your boy/girlfriend’s here!’ thing to his siblings and cousins. Unfortunately for him, he taught José too well and the eight year old did the same thing to him when he brought Eleanor home as his girlfriend for the first time.

He finds the rain soothing and can often be found dancing in it—the first time he did it Pepa was so reminded of Félix (him dancing in the rain with his brother was how she met him) that she cheered up immediately.

His first week at Auradon Prep he managed to somehow fill up Mr. Deley’s rooms with balloons. I'm not talking just on the floor, either—the entire classroom not to mention Mr. Deley’s bedroom at the school was filled up with balloons. Floor to ceiling. He managed this not once but three times—one of which happened while he was in detention (Jay won't admit it but he found it hilarious).

Carlos hates cooking because, like with Fútbol, he's not any good at it. So he actually does hate the detentions he's been given.

(It doesn't help that he doesn't like Merryweather who is usually supervising the detentions).

His first word was ‘Cloud’.

His second word was ‘stinky’ and it was aimed at the dead fish lady.

He was a biter as a kid and will absolutely still bite anyone he gets into a fight with to this day if he deems it necessary.

He was that blunt kid who point blank told people he didn't like them (usually adults). Sometimes he said so multiple times. Usually to the Dead fish lady.

Carlos’s door is wooden with an orange frame and depicts him with a mischievous look on his face, hand off to the side of his mouth. Eyes half open, mouth formed into a whisper as if he was having a conversation with someone.

The walls inside of Carlos’s room are a goldish—almost orange—color with a raindrop pattern reminiscent of Pepa and Félix’s room, while his floor is a clay red color and carpeted with a parrot pattern.

His ceiling matches his floor in color but has wooden beams across it and around the ceiling, dangling from up above are Boquila trifoliolata, vines, and Copper Beard Orchids.

The room itself is bigger than the old nursery used to be, though not by much.

Inside of the room is a twin bed with curtains around it which rests against the wall closest to the door. The bed sheets and covers are orange and gold with a parrot pattern while the curtains themselves are brown. The blanket Mirabel made him as a child as well as the few stuffed animals he still has usually rest atop of there.

Underneath his bed is a secret department where he hides his contraband (aka pranking supplies his parents don’t want him to have and anything that might be even remotely embarrassing in the wrong hands).

At the end of the bed is a dark brown, almost black, wooden chest where he stores the prized possessions of his that he doesn’t care if anyone finds it.

Beside the bed is a red wooden dresser with a potted Boquila trifoliolata plant, a writing trophy (made by one of his cousins),and a double framed picture of him with his family and him with Eleanor atop of it. Across from the dresser is a stage with a bookcase on it and a stand where he can hide behind to do puppet shows on it.

Beside the stage is a red wooden desk with a cushioned brownish rocking chair—the cushioned area has a similar pattern to his bed’s sheets. On top of the desk is a typewriter and a candle holder that almost always has a candle on it, as well as his laptop.

On the wall there are a couple of band posters (one of which he made for Eleanor) and a few bulletin boards with notes and blackmail material as well as a couple of photos of his loved ones and some framed papers of his.

On one of his walls (the one to the left of his door) there are a couple of filing cabinets and a couple of storage cabinets for his snacks and camera equipment. Past the filing cabinets is an enclosure for his parrot and a curtained balcony with brown curtains (that have orange, red, and gold colds on them) surrounding it.

He also has a full body mirror and a walk in closet in his room.

When Carlos is upset or overwhelmed his voice seems to echo on and on in his room—only it doesn't only say the words he is saying. Sometimes it even says the words he's thinking.

When Carlos's gift is acting up, he finds it hard to switch back to his own voice and to match the voices of others perfectly. His voice will switch from high to low, to differently accented to him being unable to speak at all. He hates it.

Carlos would never tell anyone but he's terrified that one day he'll forget what he sounds like and never be able to find his own voice again.

Carlos thinks tattoos are cool and he wants a ton of them. Camilo blames Antonio (jokingly, that is).

The thirteen doesn't want to go to college because he's not big on school and would rather not intend if he doesn't absolutely have to in order to get the job he wants.

He is the king of multitasking.

Carlos also has a scar on his throat when he got in a fight with a bully who was mad he was mocking him. It's three large scratches—that kid has sharp nails.

Carlos, while being new to dating, is doing rather okay so far. He's spent part of his allowance on getting Eleanor flowers from Sherwood's Floral and she liked that so he figures he's just going to keep doing that.

He puts on puppet shows for his younger cousins. He also knows that José secretly likes them but won't admit it so Carlos usually tries to schedule them for when José isn't doing it and do them in places where he will see them.

Carlos has a reaction/prank channel on Auratube.

Don't worry though, Carlos’ pranks are usually harmless. Which is surprising given how vengeful he can be.

When he was a kid he had a weird habit of waking up early and just entering somebody's room to watch them sleep. Most often his parents’. Thankfully he grew out of this by the time he was six.

Carlos has eaten a battery and a Tide pod before—he ate the battery when he was four (no, Camilo doesn't know where he got it) and he ate the Tide pod for Auratube when he was twelve. He just got his Internet privileges back and he's been told by multiple people several times that if he ever does anything that foolish and impulsive and dangerous again, his Internet privileges will be permanently revoked. Well as permanently revoked as his parents can manage while he's still a child (though Casita would probably help them if he did. She was not happy with him for that and made sure he knew it).

Carlos has never seen his dad that angry before and never wants to again.

Carlos is rather creative with his cursing. Both real and fake cursing. Sure, most of the time it doesn't really make sense but it's meaning still gets across.

Unfortunately he has the absolute worst luck for when he curses so there have been multiple occasions where he's turned around to find that one of his family members was behind him the entire time.

Examples being:

“You bitchass, no wifey having ass, selfish ass jerk headed bastard this is why you ain't got a girlfriend—” Félix was behind him for that. Luckily for Carlos, Félix was laughing too hard to scold him.

“Stupid, conniving, bigoted, classist no life having ass eggheaded hobkno—” He immediately got languaged by Bruno, who was chilling in the wall looking for one of his rats.

(There's more in multiple languages. Everyone has caught him at least once. Even Pedro the ghost).

Carlos the Shameless, can in fact feel embarrassed. Case in point: he's never been more mortified than when he turned around after letting out the most vulgar curses to man only to see that Alma and Pedro's mother, Rosa, were standing right behind him with wide eyes.

Actually scratch that, he has been more mortified at least once. That was the time he accidentally taught Amada a horrible swear word that she wouldn't stop repeating. He still can't meet Ryder and Luisa’s eyes because of how horrible he feels.

He got a lot of piggyback and shoulder rides from Camilo and Mina as a kid.
