#Spanish names

[masterhallmark]

I now headcanon that "Don" in "Don Karnage" is not a title, it's just short for Donzel

The name meaning even matches his ego

No insult to any of my friends called "Dolores", but I wouldn't be able to look at a baby and say, "yes, your name shall be Pain".

Same with "Angustias" (Heartache), if the person chose the name as a grown up teen I get it, but naming a little girl like that feels cruel to me, sorry. But the diminutives Lola and Angus are nice, at least.

Also why are most terrible Spanish names for women, what did they do.

As we celebrate Carnival’s return the history of the streets in Downtown Port of Spain that we parade through? Some of their names changed two-three times over the centuries as our governance passed from Spanish to British, while others remained unchanged till today!

Duncan Street was originally “Calle del Infante” by the Spanish, then “Rue des Trois Chandelles” by French residents after 3 candles that were lit on meeting nights of the Masonic Lodge.

Under British rule, this street was renamed after British Admiral Adam Duncan. Nelson Street was first called “Calle Principe” by the Spanish, then “La Rue d’Eglise” by the French because it was near The Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception. The British renamed it after British Admiral Lord Nelson.

George Street was originally called “Calle de San Jose” by the Spanish, then “Rue de la Place” by the French because of the market that existed there. The British renamed it after King George III.

Charlotte Street was originally “Calle de Santa Ana” by the Spanish, and “Rue de Sainte Anne” by the French, because it led to St. Ann’s River. The British decided to rename it after Queen Charlotte. Henry Street was originally “Calle Herrera” by the Spanish after their Chief of Police who lived there. The French called it “Rue Neuve”, and the British renamed it after Prince Henry of England.

Frederick Street was originally “Calle de San Carlos” after King Charles II of Spain. The French called it “Rue des Anglais”, and the British renamed it after Frederick Prince of Wales.

Chacon Street, named after Governor Don José María Chacón, is the only street whose name has never been changed. Independence Square was originally “Plaza del Marina” by the Spanish because it bordered the sea. Afterwards, it was renamed “King Street”, then “Marine Square”, and finally, Independence Square.

Finally, Queen Street was originally “Calle de San Luis”, Prince Street was originally, “Calle de Santa Rosa”, and Duke Street was originally, “Calle del Asturias”.

Indalecio

Indalo Symbol of Almeria, Spain Origin: unknown Meaning: unknown Gender: masculine The name is of debated origin and meaning. It is argued to be derived from an unknown Iberic phrase indal eccius meaning, “messenger of the Gods,” though this etymology seems dubious. It has also been linked with the Basque element, inda meaning “strength.” It has been associated with the neolithic Indalo…

How did Narinder and The Lamb meet? Also, have u named ur lamb?

Narinder: Someone reeks of death and not the dying kind whossit. The lamb: Narinder, about to break his self isolated streak, socially handicapped after millenia indoors: Fucks sake Technically they met here at a festival. (literally a fancy excuse for the gods to have fun and devotion to grow. Also another reason.) Narinder was about to make a break for it when the lamb with their weird vibes came in. Also, nope. I don't have a name for the lamb yet. Tempted to name the guy Lamb-o for shits and giggles.

Me, watching a stranger on the internet talk about my comic, even if I don't understand a word of their language:

[beedreamscape]

I know I've mentioned Bolo being cake in Portuguese (and the mispronounced Bola being Ball) but Idk if people know Porco, from Patia's surname, means Pig in Portuguese (and other romantic languages that use it as an alternative word for it) and I wish Marisha had talked more about it, if it was intentional or not.

Y'all wanna see Miguel be the dominant lover.

I wanna see Miguel being that dude's that's slightly afraid of his wife.

He's teasing her jokingly and she starts yelling at him in Spanish. And he's like 'It was a JOKE- dios mío A JOKE' meanwhile this 4'11 woman is yelling and waving her finger in his face (lovingly of course)

Jess asks if he's coming to eat lunch, and he tells her 'no', that he has work to do.

Cue his wife storming into his office, yelling his name, and shoving a plate of arroz con pollo at him and demanding they eat together. And of course he wouldn't dream of telling her no.

So he sits there while she's like 'Make sure you finish. You always eat dinner late. You need to finish so you won't be hungry. I don't know how you always want to train and workout but you don't want to stop and EAT. You hear me?? Are you listening-'

And he's just happily listening to her nagging while he eats and fights back a smile.

-- Imma give him a wife who looks makes him look relatively calm and sarcastic meanwhile she's a busy-body constantly checking on him and everything in the Society so it doesn't fall apart.

-- Miguel being afraid to even COUGH around her cause god help him, if she thinks he's sick she'll forcefully BABY him to death.

Like tucking him into bed ridiculously tight with a rag on his head and soup on the stove and if he even thinks about getting up he gets scolded for 'stressing out his body'

-- A wife that when Miguel brings up the idea of having kids she's like 'Of course! I want six... What's wrong, why do you look like you've seen a ghost? It's six not enough for you?'

Meanwhile Miguel is trying not to faint at the idea of SIX WHOLE KIDS to look after. (The end up with eight in the end)

-- And she has weekly brunches with MJ where they talk about how much of a mess their loving husbands are

-- When they train together she takes it SO serious. She's the worlds toughest trainer ever. Yelling at him in Spanish 'Is that all you got! Christ, I know you can do more than that!! We're running 6 miles together on the treadmill next. DRINK SOME WATER!!!'

And then after she's like 'You did great, babe 😊 My strong man, love you 🧡🧡🧡.'

Meanwhile he's panting for dear life

Like DO YOU SEE THE DYNAMIC I'M GOING FOR not the 'i hate my wife' kinda vibe, the 'my wife is gonna fucking kill me if I stay up until three again' kinda vibe.

I'm gonna give him the most firey fierce wife ever. That's him and Inca-Spider Moche. When they argue she stands on his desk cause she's not gonna having him looking down at her. She's like 'You think you wouldn't eat lunch cause the breakfast I cooked was too big? Say that to my face!!' *climbs up on the nearest chair*

A calm sarcastic giant and his 4'11 wife that will rain hellfire if he works late cause he needs his sleep and she'll be DAMNED if he doesn't get it
