Bad Bunny presentando su nuevo album en víspera de Reyes DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS

Anoche la delegación del PNP en la Cámara de Representantes aprobó extender la operación de la carbonera AES en Guayama hasta el 2032. La quema de carbón atenta contra la vida y el medioambiente. Hay alternativas para cerrarla, pero no hay eficiencia ni voluntad del gobierno.

Jay just posted a video talking about how he was recognized in El Nuevo Día, one of the biggest publications in Puerto Rico, and I HAVE to put this thought out there I have been holding onto it for so long-

Imagine Odysseus dancing with “Penelope” to Baile Inolvidable by Bad Bunny. Imagine him thinking about her and manifesting this vision of his wife that he spins around with, a wife he can’t hold in his arms because he’s lost at sea. Imagine him for yearning for one last dance with her, wondering if he’s ever going to make it home. Pensaba que contigo iba a envejecer/I thought I’d grow old with you.

Imagine Ody whispering to himself, “Si me ven solo y triste, soy culpable/If you see me alone and crying, it’s my fault”

Imagine Ody clutching nothing but open air, wishing it was Penelope instead. Tu me enseñaste a querer. Me enseñaste a bailar/You taught me how to love. You taught me how to dance.

I know it falls apart at some points because the song is about a breakup/ex but it’s just SUCH A GORGEOUS SONG??? And ofc Jorge Rivera-Herrans is our beautiful Boricua king and I fucking love salsa so much and ahhhhhhhhh. I was holding onto this idea because I was hoping to one day choreograph a dance or maybe take a shot at doing an animatic but FUCK IT I need to see this happen, please someone more talented than me make it happen 😭😭😭

The inherent racialization and xenophobia of USAmerican anti-drug laws in general, but especially in the American Southwest, was always going to be something Breaking Bad inherited, and is Honestly, in my Latin opinion, not something it necessarily handles with a lot of grace. I understand that brba is not About that, it's not one of the themes, but it's still there, because you cannot talk about the drug trade in any even semi-serious context without talking about race and class, even if it's not intentional. In general I think brba is more sympathetic towards drug users and more critical towards the police institution than a lot of other shows of a similar vein, but there's still a very clear throughline of "dangerous" Latin America and Latinos, particularly Mexico and Mexicans. I know this is the "white gay people talking about how great 'Problematic Representation' is" website, and that a post about, well, "problematic representation" will probably fall on deaf ears, but when almost All of the lead characters in your show are white, and the main Hispanic characters are a bunch of Mexican drug lords, a Chilean drug lord, and a cop who gets to be One Of The Good Ones by working against The Bad Ones, people (me) are allowed to notice that lol. Obviously I love the show, this isn't a condemnation of it, but it is something that stood out to me and should be allowed to be critiqued lol

dumps some dbz headcanons and gets away with it

Goku: saiyans are multicultural. vegeta has to have a region equivalent to south america, and to be specific, something like colombia. goku is so hispanic coded and I just couldn't help it but to make him like my people.

Yamcha: he is mixed. I mean mixed. mexican and vietnamese yamcha let's gooo

Chichi: I couldn't decide whether to make her chinese or japanese so why not both!

17 and 18: boricua twins supremacy (also my peeps)

Bulma: bulma is cuban because of this one vision I had and it's been in my head for at least a year.

HOPE YOU ENJOYED MY HEADCANON DUMP/EDITS !!!

Concepts for Los Brujos

El Santuario

In my comic the brothers live with their Abuela in her home. From the outside and to untrained eyes it appears like a regular wooden house, but it’s actually a huge sanctuary for troubled spirits. The design is based on typical houses from Puerto Rico, and the concept is loosely inspired by the Winchester house — this sort of haunted house that the owner just kept expanding. I also took inspiration from the bath house in Spirted Away, and Santuario (literally “sanctuary”) is a place where spirits can rest and be in good company.

These kinds of little houses aren’t super commonplace in Puerto Rico anymore — concrete houses are more of the norm, and is the kind of house I lived in as a kid. But I wanted Abuela to seem very old fashioned, plus the family as a whole is not well off financially. Also it only made sense that their haunted house would be a product of the past.

Its definitely not a final design, but closer than I think.

Heres the OG sketch.

Idk but the lack of latinos in stranger things is frustrating like they should have made eddie munson and the byers latino and why them specifically? i don’t know tbh it just makes sense 😭

Puerto Rico, la riqueza de su bella cultural y su grandeza de su música

Nos criamos tan colonizados por los Estados Unidos que esa música siempre fue considerada “charra.” Cuando empiezas a conocer la verdadera historia de Puerto Rico, es cuando empiezas a amar la cultura, la bandera y las riquezas de la patria Borincana.

Un buen contexto con datos reales y el por qué lo que le pasó a Hawaii le puede pasar a Puerto Rico si el puertorriqueño no despierta.

La serie de Netflix “Painkiller” vuelve a mostrar cómo los puertorriqueños son utilizados como sujetos de prueba

Siempre nos han usado de conejillo de indias. En la serie PainKiller Netflix se detalla el inicio y consecuencias de la crisis de opioides. Oxycotin primero fue experimentado en ratones. Luego, en Puerto Rico con mujeres recuperándose de cirugías ginecológicas. ¡Repugnante! 😡👇🏻

Zaun and Piltover reminds me of the current state and relationship of Puerto Ricans and America respectively. In this essay I will-

Any Puertorican Arcane ppl out there?

[biracy]

I know it's basically impossible to get responses from any kind of minority that isn't "gay people in general" on here and idk how many Latino followers I have but I'm trying this anyway. Whatever

No "ooh gringo clicky button" result ur just gonna have to deal w that

Y todos me miran, me miran, me miran! Porque se que soy linda, porque todos me admiran! 👸

Some gender stuff for Vico, and some silly bonding time with Adrián. Canonically the boys only speak Spanish so I sant to try to always post their comics in spanish as well as english. Of course it’s just me doing all the translations, so its tricky.
