#Spanish speaking Red

[valengory1234]

Wait headcannon!

Both Red and Chloe speak very proper English when in an argument.

Because Red grew up speaking in riddles, and Spanish as her first languages (yes this is because of Kylie speaking Spanish) so English was a third language to her growing up. Even though she quickly learned the slang to better fit in with native speakers, she doesn’t always get it right, and when she’s stressed she’s called back to the most proper way to speak because that’s the version she learned under the worst pressure.

And chloe’s first language is French, of course, but she had to learn many languages as princess so that she could communicate with many different royals. And her lessons were in proper grammar, because she is a royal speaking to other royals, and they all speak proper language. And she’s also just a nerd who wants to be The Best, so she knows the history of where English words come from and her enunciation is on point.

So they’re both having high emotions, and English is their only common language, (as they found out the hard way) and they both just sound like the most proper and pompous assholes ever when they argue with each other.

And this isn’t just with each other, this translates to arguments with other English speakers in their age group. You’re trying to tease Red about Wonderland customs but you accidentally got under her skin for real, and she sounds like Henry Viii. Someone is trying to duel with Chloe but she brandishes her sword and starts talking like Shakespeare. Which just bewilders everyone!

My opinion on the Latino Jason Todd headcanon

While I do understand ppl's criticism of the latino Jason todd headcanon and how its kind of racist to make the kid with parents with drug problems as the latino one, to me its more of a reclamation BECAUSE of DC's racism.

Read any 80s/90s batman issue that covers gang violence and drugs, most if not ALL of the criminals are poc; black people and latinos visibly make up the majority in the poorer neighbourhoods in Gotham. Aside from the caricaturist way they r drawn/speak, its not THAT weird cause its a reflection of irl big cities where immigrants and marginalised ppl are often forced to live in such situations, (like most of my dominican family lives in the bronx... it aint racist to say dominicans tend to flock there), BUT...the weird part is when the second a sympathetic character comes from that area, he's white and has a name thats "too fancy for the streets".

Obviously, Jason was created to look like the old robin, so I can't say that the whole "diamond in the rough" situation was purposely a tad bit racist, but its still a lil weird (especially with bruce's comment).

If Jason were a part of the overwhelming demographic in his area, the good-kid-in-a-bad-area trope has less connotations. DC is currently trying to fix this trope is by making crime alley whiter, which isn't bad but they could've just yk... humanised the non-white residents.

I also feel like the messed up way Jason was treated post-death is what makes him so relatable to latino readers. His tragic story of dying while trying to save his only living relative is turned into a lesson for newer vigilantes. Jason's particular disdain for abusers on a few occasions was twisted (by both writers and characters) into him always being dumb, reckless, cocky, angry and disobedient, always violent, never having been able to get over his upbringing. None of those things were true (he was a normal level of reckless and cocky like every other robin, not more), but its an easier narrative to digest compared to how it was in reality; a kid who worked so hard and loved even harder, died to save a woman who couldn't care less about his existence. He was an emotional AND smart kid who wanted so bad to help others get better but was remembered as too emotional (in a bad way).

THIS is the reality for many latino diasporas in day to day life; Theres no question that Latino culture is passionate and emotive, but people from other cultures assume that it is followed by instead of logical. both can coexist. emotion does not mean u have no logic. Emotions can be irrational but they aren't inherently that way, and I wouldn't say that the moments where Jason lashed out as a teenager were irrational (in og runs, not rewrites post red hood), they were mostly done to protect someone (going crazy on abusers, disobeying batman to save sheila, that time he got into a fight at school to defend his friend).

A lot of euro-centric culture is OBSESSED with the idea that rationality is separate from feelings and emotions, but not crying at a funeral doesn't mean you're better than those who do. Emotions are the basis of human ethics and morals, they define the way we interact as a collective and ignoring them does not mean they are not there. Theres no winner to a contest of who can feel the less. And the way Jason's emotions are treated (pre-rh, hes definitely unhinged afterwards lol) is so in line with how white culture tends to punish those who aren't ashamed to feel.

I TOTES UNDERSTAND that some ppl who headcanon Jason as latino are doing it for the complete opposite of reasons, like "oh here some angry emotional guy with druggie parents, haha must be latino". Its weird. I dont like it. And its only brought up so he can swear in spanish in some rlly bad text post where his emotions are getting out. But to me there's so much potential for metanarrative and commentary on how latinos are treated in media that can be exemplified through the way his character is treated. Being latino would add SO MUCH DEPTH to his character and his dynamic with the others.

While I think Garp would be soley responsible for Mihawk’s hair falling out in clumps if they spent any amount of time together

I do think garp and Zoro would get on splendidly. As they are after all the same flavor of person.

any attempt to put all three of them in the same room will give Mihawk ulcers.

Mihawk would comment on their stupidity

Garp would respond “ain’t got to be smart to be a marine” and zoro would raise his glass in salute “ here, here”

And Mihawk’s blood pressure would reach levels previously inaccessible by man.

Imagine Javier #4

Imagine Javier being so teasingly cruel to you that whenever he is around you he will only speak Spanish.

To him your clueless expression looks so adorable. He will say filthy things in your ear and you wouldn't have the faintest idea what it means. All you know is you love being around him. So innocent and sweet - and he knows this.

"¿Por qué no dejas de mirarme con esos ojos y te inclinas hacia mí~?" ("Why don't you stop looking at me with those eyes and bend over for me~?")

"Hablas mucho. Puedo darle un mejor uso a esa linda boca~" ("You talk too much. I can put that pretty mouth to better use~")

The poll comes to a close, ‘cut off his tattoo’ in the lead. 

“You all have good taste," the host says with a laugh. "I was hoping you'd pick that one.” The knife is back in their hand when they step towards Shepard. He's watching them, eyes narrowed and wary, and you realize he doesn't know what's coming. How could he? You briefly wonder how it must feel, watching someone with a knife and unknown intentions creep closer, but as the anticipation rises, the thought fades.

The host jerks their chin up, as if gesturing. “Ay Uriel, ven aquí.”

One of the gunmen responds to his call, slinging their rifle over their shoulder and moving to stand behind Shepard. They grip his shoulder, one hand winding in his hair to keep him steady as the host traces the bottom of his tattoo with the knife’s tip.

“Mark of a killer,” they murmur. “Taking away a lion's mane doesn't make him any less a lion.” They press into Shepard's flesh, and blood wells up beneath the blade. “But it might tame his pride.”

They outline the tattoo in red. You can tell they're trying to be neat, but Shepard is squirming under their hands, turning the lines jagged as blood trickles down his chest. The host repositions the knife at the bottom of the wound, pinching torn skin between their fingers and working the blade under the targeted area.

Shepard screams as they begin to pull away the inky flesh, but it sounds choked. Bitten off. He's still trying to hold back. It's probably close to five minutes before the host stands, looking triumphant as they hold the flap of skin between a red-stained thumb and pointer. The flesh is almost too bloody to make out the shape of the bird that had once been stamped onto Shepard's chest.

The man in the chair is panting, a tremor in his shoulders. Uriel's hand is still keeping his head up, but if it were gone, you know he'd be hunched over.

The host tosses the cut skin aside, and it hits the ground with a wet slap that makes you cringe.

“Almost looks good,” they say, turning on their heel and making a show of inspecting Shepard’s newest wound. “But my uncle always told me to see a task through, and the edges aren't looking too clean. I think they need smoothing.”

They dip behind the camera, coming back with their fingers curled around a new tool. The electric sander. The one they teased earlier. 

Shit. Are they really gonna..?

They power it on, and Shepard flinches at the high pitched whirring that suddenly fills the room.

Oh fuck. You're not sure you can watch this. Your own chest is tingling with sympathy pains just at the thought of it. Still, you can't bring yourself to look away as the host lowers the sander onto Shepard's chest, pressing it into the open wound.

This time, he isn't able to choke down his scream. He throws his head back, thrashing against his restraints as the host holds the device against him. The vibrations send tiny splatters of blood in every direction, almost like sparks under a welder. It feels like an eternity passes before they finally let up.

The sander is dripping crimson, the color almost cartoonish. Unreal. The host seems to sway a bit as they move to set it down. As they pass behind the camera, you hear a clattering, followed by the sound of a door swinging open, then shut. Did they just leave?

It seems to be the case, as Uriel drops Shepard, moving back to their spot behind the camera.

“We will resume soon,” they say, voice deep and even. “For now, choose what is next.”

A moment later, a new poll appears.

Close the wound with fire.

Electrocution.

You briefly hover over the lower button, but hesitate to click it. Nope. You don't need to make yourself a part of this. Just watching is enough.

The new options stay up longer than the previous polls, the room silent aside from Shepard's hissing breaths and the occasional shuffle of the gunmen. You know the wait is due to the host's absence, but where did they go? Was the last torment too much for them? You guessed they were young based on their voice, but you'd assumed they were experienced with the whole torture thing based on their casual attitude. Maybe it was just a front.

At last, you hear the door open.

“Estás bien?”

“Fine.” 

“Quieres que me lleve el siguiente?”

“Lo tengo.” The host steps back into frame. “And we are back, ladies and gentlemen. I see you want to burn this asshole. Well, we can make that happen.”

There's something in their hand, and your heart picks up as you realize it's a handheld blowtorch. You watch as they lift it, hitting the switch and letting the fire roar to life. When they turn to face Shepard though, they falter, the torch going dead in their hand.

“I…” They turn back to the camera. “I think I'll let Uriel have a little fun with this one. Guy's earned his share.”

Wordlessly, Uriel steps forward to take the torch, his free hand brushing the host’s shoulder in a gesture that looks like it's meant to be comforting.

You don't get much chance to read into it before he's bearing down on Shepard, torch glowing in his hand. The man in the chair has his eyes locked on the approaching figure, face twisted into a scowl. Uriel doesn't say a word as he lowers the torch onto Shepard's open wound.

You only catch a split second of it—the skin bubbling and burning—before you have to turn away, Shepard's scream ringing in your ears. Only when his ragged cry tapers off do you dare to look up. His skin is covered in a sheen of sweat, his face contorted in pain. 

The host's voice calls from offscreen. “I think that's enough excitement for one night, folks. We'll leave you with one final decision. How should we keep our guest comfortable until the morning?”

As they speak, what you assume is the final poll of the night appears.

Blindfold him.

Use a more durable gag.

Gag and blindfold him.

Three options this time. Would it really be so bad if you voted for one? Who knows if you'll ever see anything like this again; will you regret not participating?

Probably not, you think as the poll closes, the third option coming out the winner. This is already a night to remember.

“Excellent choice, everyone!” The host says as they check the results. “I can't say I envy this fucker.”

The gag comes out first. You watch Shepard as the host approaches him, certain he'll fight this, but he allows his jaw to be manhandled open, not protesting as the gag is shoved between his teeth. 

You're almost disappointed. The first session is wrapping up and this so-called murderer has meekly taken everything the host has thrown his way. The blindfold goes on next, and while he sits still for it, you see his fists clench as it's tightened over his eyes. The host pats his cheek, and Shepard flinches back, the movement almost imperceptible.

“There’s a good boy. Keep this up and maybe I'll give you a treat.” They turn back to the camera. “Well, that's all for now folks. Keep your eyes peeled for the next—”

“Gabriel.” A woman's voice, sharp and urgent, cuts them off. “No seas estúpido.”

Even though you can't see their face, the host… Gabriel seems to balk. “Um. Everyone, meet Lu. Another member of our cast and crew.”

A fourth figure strolls onscreen, dressed in the same greys as the rest. Same mask, too. Gabriel is taller than her, but they have a similar build, similar voices. You wonder if they're related.

The woman, Lu, gives the camera a brusque, acknowledging wave before turning her attention to the host.

“Are you leaving him like this?” she asks, gesturing towards Shepard. His head lifts, pointing towards her voice, though you know he can't see.

Gabriel shrugs. “Yeah? We're done for the day. Don't tell me you of all people think it's too harsh—”

“I thought you had a better head on your shoulders,” she snaps. “Qué pasa cuando apagas la cámara y cierras la puerta?”

“I…”

“He,” she points an accusing finger at Shepard, “would gnaw off his own arm to get free of a cuff. Esto no es suficiente.”

Gabriel slouches forward dramatically, in the moment looking more like a sulking teenager than a confident host. Perhaps they've forgotten the cameras are rolling. “Qué se supone que haga? Está atado.”

“You're a smart boy,” Lu says. “I'm sure you'll figure out something.” She strides back out of frame, casting one final remark at Gabriel. “Find a way to keep him down, or you'll wake up to him cutting your throat.”

The door closes, and Gabriel sighs, hands going to his hips. Behind him, Vic is very still, his body tensed like a coiled spring.

“Well folks, guess we have time for one more event,” Gabriel says, moving behind the camera. “Keep him down.” You hear the sound of tools on the table, shifting around.

“I guess…” He steps back into frame, gloved hand wrapped around the handle of a claw hammer. His voice takes on a more confident edge as he extends it towards the camera.

“Ladies and gentlemen, we have a winner,” he says, giving it a flourishing swing. “Let's see how his knees hold up against this.”

Though of the day:

The idea that B.A.D.4 is reciving fanmail since their little disaster in the BTS concert is SO FUCKING FUNNY

Neither of those motherfuckers is used to so much attention. And they defenetly are not gonna know how to handle that suddenly there is many fans sending mail of how much they love them and their music.

Licorice probably almost fucking cried. Brute acted confident byt defenetly was really touched by this. And Red Velvet just stared at the letters with a confused face because "whydoesthisfeelssonice?" and "whysomanypeoplethinkiamhandsomevenwithmyarm?"

Mushroom is the only one that took this normaly.

Am I the only one that thought Mihawk was like a Spaniard like how luffy is Brazilian, and Zoro is Japanese. Am I the only one that thought he looked like a conquistador?!?!!. Because I was reading a Reddit thread and they all thought he was like French and I was shook.

Like I live who they cast as Mihawk and I love all the accents for the characters (like seriously A Scottish accent for Garp is inspired) but the only one I felt kind of let down by was Mihawk because I thought it’d be cool if he had like a Spanish accent. Just to learn that a lot of people apparently thought he was more French based. But yeah I was just vaguely disappointed still love the performance tho. Also I love the difference between Mihawk’s more proper sassy British accent and Shanks’ one of the lads accent. Another accent I wasn’t quite expecting but ended up loving.

S19 Mini Theory - Staff of Charon Fight

Okay, so I was rewatching some S13 stuff for funsies (a funny af "shotgun" moment). . . but I kept watching to the end. So here's a theory I had before, but now it's changed up a bit because I was wrong about the ORDER... and now I'm actually kind of flipping my shit just a touch if I'm right. I'll add a read more break here:

So lemme just start off all of this Preamble saying, IF we actually get to see the Staff of Charon fight, which was possibly teased by the Simulation run teaser Church was doing... Then this is my new theory for this fight (Which I assume will be at the very beginning of the movie). Okay, so at the end, Church is giving his little speech and saying how this is gonna have to be his last real moment with everyone. He's got to 'deconstruct' himself, and that the fragments he leaves behind will help them all get through the fight. When he says this, the fragments flash on the screen in a particular line up order. . . which also line up with certain characters in the same shot. A line up I was originally got wrong. This is the line up:

There are 6 fragments and technically six characters in this shot. When I first thought how the fight would go, I imagined some people would get some of the fragments somehow. I wasn't sure how it would be done until Church basically said he'd have to break himself up, but I digress. One of my first assumptions was that Delta would go to Simmons. He's typically the "smart" one and Delta is a logical AI. I also assumed this because I figured there might be a Holo-Lock they'd have to break through and so far, Simmon's is usually called to lock-pick a door. (*coughYorkVibescough*) Now however... After seeing this shot? HO-LY Fuck. Delta staying with Tucker makes sense. He's going to need a logical voice helping him with that suit. He'll be able to do his Big Damn Hero thing but with also with a calculated precision Delta can give him. Theta, almost invisible but there in between Tucker and Caboose, would go to Caboose. They are both childlike and find a lot of things scary, but Caboose is also good at not letting those scary things get to him. Theta will be able to protect him, I feel. Gamma with Lopez. I don't think I need to expand much on this. The Twins - Eta and Iota. . . Would go to Doc and O'Malley. Two Minds. Sarge getting Sigma somewhat surprised me, but after mulling it over, I realized that Sarge has always had the fiery passion of battle burn in his heart. I feel this will help keep Sarge sharp and speedy, and possibly we may even see him use his shotgun with new strategy.

Which leaves Omega with Simmons. This kind of shocked me at first. But then, again, taking a moment to reflect on it, this could possibly be fitting. Simmons can fight fairly well as it is, however, he can crack under pressure pretty fast. I feel like Omega is going to drive him to keep fighting even when shit looks really bad. He may even lose a bit of fear. He already seems to have a penchant for fighting - he enjoys it. He also at some point when Omega was a threat before, made sure to prep himself mentally in case Omega jumped back into him.

Of course, this is all speculation and theory over a fight that may or may not happen . . . but like, after that teaser with Church, I feel like if we DONT get that epic fight we're getting kinda robbed. But if I'm right about this, just. . . holy fuck. Anywho, regardless of all of this, I also have this far out/introspective Comic Idea that takes place at this moment. I'm going to call it an AU at this point because we get S19 in a month. But I wanna see if I can get the comic done before then. Let's say Church has one last internal conversation with someone, and gives them a temporary promotion... providing they help him and step their lazy ass up.

Genuinely fascinated that the Duolingo Finnish course is apparently convinced that, before terms such as "where is the train station" and "how do I find the airport", I need to know how to say koala and crocodile, animals we all know largely because they are so common in northern europe
