El éxito suele está mas determinado con quién conoces que por tu preparación.

Las certificaciones no significan nada si no los estatus.

Conoce los sitios más instagrameables de la región centro occidente de México

México tiene una gran variedad de colores, paisajes, formas, comida y cultura los cuales merecen ser plasmados en fotografías. Los estados que conforman el Pacto Centro Occidente, Guanajuato, Jalisco y Querétaro, tienen increíbles escenarios para capturar fotos espectaculares.

Estos son algunos de los lugares que recomendamos para que no guardes tu cámara durante todo el viaje:

San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato fue declarada Patrimonio de la Humanidad en 2008, pues es un sitio que aún conserva su esencia colonial y cada rincón que mires será un gran spot para tomar imágenes increíbles y compartirlas en tus redes sociales.

Entre los lugares que te recomendamos visitar se encuentran: La Parroquia de San Miguel Arcángel, la ciudad desde el mirador, cualquiera de sus coloniales calles como la Hermanos Aldama, el Centro Cultural Ignacio Ramírez “El Nigromante”, sus hoteles Boutique, el Jardín Allende, entre otros.

Los túneles en Guanajuato Capital, son tan emblemáticos que no puedes irte sin haberte tomado una foto en ellos.

El Parque Lázaro Cárdenas de Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco es toda una obra de arte ideada por la artista Natasha Moraga, de donde nace “El Parque de los Azulejos”, el cual está lleno de simbología y geometría, que hará que te sientas en un mundo lleno de colores. En el parque hay 66 bancas y cada una tiene un diseño y concepto diferente. Las áreas entre las bancas son una transición de colores para unirlas entre sí. En los extremos del parque hay dos colibríes, uno blanco y uno negro, que representan la libertad interna y externa. Tus selfies y panorámicas mantendrán el recuerdo de este hermoso sitio.

En Guadalajara, te sugerimos visitar la Colonia Americana, muy cerca de la zona centro de la ciudad. Se trata de una de las colonias más antiguas de Guadalajara que combina a la perfección casonas con muchos años de historia con modernos sitios como restaurantes o cafeterías que harán que tus fotos de instagram sean únicas. Esta colonia está distribuida en casas, apartamentos y mansiones con estilo europeo, una característica de la época porfiriana, razón por la cuál, la Colonia Americana fue nombrada en 2022 como el “barrio más genial del mundo” por la revista Time Out.

Querétaro te brindará excelentes marcos para capturarlos con tu cámara. Uno de estos sitios extraordinarios lo encontrarás en Pinal de Amoles, se trata del increíble Mirador de Cuatro Palos, un lugar especial por la vista suprema que domina las alturas de la Sierra Gorda de Querétaro y paso obligado para quienes buscan capturar el espíritu contemplativo de la maravillosa naturaleza serrana. Otro espectacular sitio es la Peña de Bernal, conocido también como el tercer monolito más grande del mundo donde no puedes dejar de pasar la oportunidad de tomar asombrosas fotos panorámicas o selfies. El Pueblo Mágico de Bernal y sus alrededores embellecerán tus fotografías, pero no olvides etiquetar a @qrotravel y hacer que esas increíbles imágenes que plasman tu experiencia lleguen a más gente.

"Te amo, Te amo con todo mi corazón"

For us Mexicans, there is a clear difference between saying "te quiero" and "Te amo", even when the English translation is "I love you" for both cases.

For us, there is an abyss of difference.

"Te quiero"" is just that, something more akin to cherish than to love, a feeling of affection, something you may feel for friends, family or a partner when you are just starting to share feelings.

"Te amo" is a feeling that we understand as something very strong, very solid, something that is not said to just anyone. Something that we are even very reluctant to say because we know its value is immense.

In Mexico we even have a very famous song that describes this clear difference:

El querer pronto puede acabar El amor no conoce el final Y es que todos sabemos querer Pero pocos sabemos amar

Cherish can soon end Love knows no end And we all know how to cherish But few of us know how to love

We know that q!Roier's language of love is usually not in words but in actions: defending q!Cellbit from those who called him a traitor, standing by his side no matter what, wearing the amaranths on his clothes and then in his hair.

That is why it is so significant that q!Roier said it to q!Cellbit in his vows and even did it twice. Because it is as true as a fist:

q!Roier loves q!Cellbit with all his heart.

@animatronicanime : Hey, I was wondering if you could do the one-piece old generation where Roger pirate discovers of lunala and nika Love Story. Or the Gear 5 Luffy x Lunala reader? please! 🥺

Roger crew are going to a leagdary place called Mexico? Well, let hurry up!!!!

The crew all appeared to sail, and victoria showed Roger a compass that led the way to Mexico. "So this compass will lead us to Mexico?" Oden asked. Victoria nodded. "Okay, we're going west blue, where the fog will be at," said Sofia.

A few seconds later, they reached the west blue where the fog was at, "it so foggy, I can't even see damn thing," said Rayleigh. "The fog is so big that you couldn't even see. Even if you try to go in, it'll turn you back where you started," Ema

"Well, there is a way to get in. If we play the song called La lorona, " said victoria, "la lorona?" Buggy asks. "Yes!" So Jack got the radio disc and the box that can play the music.

Roger and the crew watch as Ema and victoria are prepared to play the music. And it begins...

Everyone was surprised by the beautiful song. They straight in the fog, the song still playing. It was so dark in here, but they turned on the lanterns. "Hey, guys, do you hear people singing the song? It is like getting louder, " said Shanks.

"Agree, I could hear them, but I can't see them," said oden, looking around, then a huge shadow appeared, scared the living shit out of them, and more boats came. "quién eres!?" The man ask, who is wearing a military suit, "uh, what he say?" Roger asks.

"He asks who are we, don't worry, I'll do the translate," said victoria.

"Disculpe señor, estamos aquí para ir a México con mis amigos. Mi nombre es Victoria, ya conoce a mi hermano, que se une al ejército." She said.

The translate : excuse me, sir! we're here to go to Mexico with my friends. my name is victoria, you know my brother, who joins the military.

"Wow, she pretty good," said Shanks, so the military let them in, then they saw Mexico City but not the tall building. Just a old Mexico city. The crew was surprised, they saw cars (it their first time). Roger crew went to the museum to learn about joyboy and luna.

They did hear the story of luna. Victoria told the Roger crew about a history of Mexico and how it started. "Victoria, I remember I told you about in Mexico, how there kaiju?" Buggy, ask, Victoria nodded.

"Well, where is it?" He questioned, "it in the other side of land, not far, you will see the island called kaiju island," she said.

Everyone was excited, "In fact, the military couldn't let anyone in the kaiju island." Everyone frown. Oh! Yeah! They also went to see the poneglyph that was written by luna. It was in the old ancient castle, which was about 900 years ago.

The poneglyph is in the castle, where they hide something that nobody knows. The military let the Roger crew see, not letting anyone see what was going on.

But victoria brought a friend named Ana, who is researching an ancient history worker, and she studied Mexico ancient history.

"The poneglyph," said Roger, oden walked closer to the poneglyph and focused the letters. "What does it say?" said Ema, oden was surprised by the writing, "what is it, oden!?" Rayleigh asks, "written some love story," Oden said.

"A love story?" Roger question, "Ana, explain please, " said Jack. "Well, we research, and we found out that luna talks about how she met joyboy for the first time, and she wants to tell her people about it," said Ana.

Shanks looked around and saw some painting on the wall, "Hey, Ana, what with these walls?" Shanks ask. The crew looked at the wall, seeing the painting of people, "Oh! These paintings are tells a story, we work hard to study these paintings and find we did find luna form"

Everyone was interested in it. "And where is luna form painting?" Ana, point up. Everyone looks above to see this painting:

"Luna form!" Oden yelled, "No way! It huge!!" Buggy scream, they never seen luna from heights. "Yep, when we first saw it, we were surprised to see," said Ana, "I was wondering what in the kaiju island?" Roger asks.

"When me and my friends went kaiju island with the military, we found another ancient city. we looked around to see and found a pyramid. we went inside and found another poneglyph."

The crew dropped their jaw, "a another poneglyph!? Victoria! You said there's only one!" Oden yelled, "I didn't know there's another poneglyph!! Ana, when it happened!!??" Victoria question.

"It happened when you left to go on an adventure!" Said Ana, "that makes sense, " Victoria said.

Now Roger and his crew will go on adventure to go to Kaiju island to study all about Mexico history.

Part 3 is coming soon!!

Hi everyone.

A few days ago, in Mexico, the impact of Hurricane "Otis" reached the coasts of Acapulco, Guerrero, causing many people to be left without resources and homes to stay in, myself included, as I also live in the coastal area. So, for now, I will be inactive for an indefinite period.

Please, I really need a lot of support. You can donate on Ko-fi to help me in this situation. This will assist me in obtaining the necessary resources and being able to leave the affected area as soon as possible.

It would also be helpful to share this message to make more people aware of the difficult situation that is currently happening in Guerrero, Mexico.

I sincerely appreciate your understanding.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hola a todos.

Hace pocos días, en México, se ha llegado el impacto del huracán "Otis" en las costas de Acapulco, Guerrero, provocando que muchas personas se quedaran sin recursos y sin hogares donde quedarse, entre ellos me incluyo yo, que vivo igual en la zona costera. Así que por mientras, estaré inactivo en un tiempo indefinido.

Por favor, de verdad necesito mucho apoyo, pueden donar en Ko-fi para apoyarme en esta situación, esto me ayudará para conseguir los recursos necesarios y poder salir de la zona afectada lo antes posible.

También sería de ayuda compartir este mensaje, para dar a conocer a más gente la situación difícil que está pasando en estos momentos en Guerrero, México.

De antemano, agradezco su comprensión.

EL EOBA ESCENIFICARÁ MISA DE SEIS, ÓPERA MEXICANA DE JIMÉNEZ MABARAK Y EMILIO CARBALLIDO

Única función: jueves 14 de septiembre en el Teatro de la Ciudad Esperanza Iris

El Estudio de la Ópera de Bellas Artes (EOBA) del Instituto Nacional de Bellas Artes y Literatura (Inbal), que dirige la soprano María Katzarava, estrenará su versión de la ópera mexicana Misa de seis, con texto de Emilio Carballido y música de Carlos Jiménez Mabarak, el próximo jueves 14 de septiembre a las 20:30 horas en el Teatro de la Ciudad Esperanza Iris.

Se trata de una colaboración de la Dirección del Sistema de Teatros de la Secretaría de Cultura de la Ciudad de México con la Secretaría de Cultura federal y el Instituto Nacional de Bellas Artes y Literatura (Inbal), a través del Estudio de la Ópera de Bellas Artes, en una conjunción de esfuerzos por rescatar el legado operístico y musical de México.

México es un país rico en historia, cultura, arte y vida. Un abanico de diversidades coloridas y monocromáticas que dan cabida a grandes historias. Y es cuna de hombres y mujeres con talentos inigualables, como el dramaturgo Emilio Carballido y el compositor Carlos Jiménez Mabarak. Ambos dejaron un importante legado artístico y cultural a los mexicanos.

Los dos son los autores de Misa de seis, una emblemática historia de barrio que aconteció a mediados de la década de los cincuenta, justo a unas calles del Teatro de la Ciudad Esperanza Iris, de la Catedral Metropolitana, del Zócalo, del Palacio Nacional y del Palacio de las Bellas Artes.

Misa de seis –escrita en 1960– es la historia de un feminicidio. Una mañana fría y oscura de invierno de 1955 en la Ciudad de México, dos mujeres, Carmelita y Lola, se encuentran a las puertas de la iglesia de San Sebastián.

Entre calles, amaneceres, trasnochadas y sobrevivencia, las dos mujeres llegan a misa, antes de lo previsto, pues una escuchó campanas que nunca sonaron y la otra salió corriendo de su cotidianidad asfixiante: el cuidado de tu anciana tía.

Un barrendero limpia las calles de lo que pudo haber acontecido la noche anterior; la criada va en busca de la leche, el cabaret aún despide a sus últimos visitantes y las puertas de la iglesia siguen cerradas. Un muchacho aparece corriendo, pálido y busca refugio. ¿Qué sucedió?, ¿qué esconde?, ¿de qué huye? Camilleros, silbatos, doctor y en medio de todo eso, un asesinato. Son las seis de la mañana y es hora de ir a misa.

Para María Katzarava, directora artística del Estudio de la Ópera de Bellas Artes (EOBA), México tiene una rica variedad de óperas que no siempre se tiene la oportunidad de montar y en otras ocasiones ni de dar a conocer. “Para nosotros, como artistas de la voz y de la música, es algo vital el que se dé a conocer dicho legado artístico y que nuestros propios jóvenes talentos sean quienes los interpreten”.

En la puesta en escena participarán los integrantes del EOBA: la soprano Hildelisa Hangis (Carmelita) y la mezzosoprano Teresa Fuentes (Lola); el bajo-barítono Ricardo Ceballos (barrendero), los tenores Alberto Galicia y Jorge Echeagaray (muchachos), la soprano Damaris Lezama (criada), el contratenor Gabriel Vargas (médico), las sopranos Diana Mata, Dulce Guadarrama, Génesis Moreno y Luz del Carmen Ramírez (prostitutas) y los tenores Jorge Echeagaray y Alberto Galicia (policías), acompañados por el pianista Miguel Brito.

Al elenco se suman los profesores del EOBA: Israel Barrios en la dirección musical, Ruby Tagle en la dirección de escena y de movimiento, la propia María Katzarava en la técnica vocal, y la propia Ruby Tagle en el diseño del dispositivo escénico y Kay Pérez en el diseño de iluminación. La coordinación de producción y enlace administrativo es Mireille Bartilotti y la coordinación de enlace artístico es de Fernanda Araujo.

Misa de seis se presentará el jueves 14 de septiembre a las 20:30 horas en el Teatro de la Ciudad Esperanza Iris (Donceles 36, Centro Histórico, Metro Allende). 

Admisión: entrada general, $300. Los boletos se pueden adquirir en la taquilla del teatro y en las plataformas digitales de Ticketmaster.

Sol de México 🕷️

in which Miguel doesn't know the sun of Mexico

w/c: 1.4K

pairing: uneducated!miguel x latine!reader

tags: fluff!!! miguel doesn't know luismi, uncultured, sm spanish w somewhat accurate translations (got lazy for the rest of the song oops), you try to convince him to listen, he does, loves his music omg

notes: I incorporated luismi bc miguel is an old man he would fucking LOVE boleros!!! also wrote easy money I before and after I went to his concert💅🏼

I was chilling in the cafeteria jamming out to Luis Miguel's discography when I felt a tap on my shoulder. I take one side of my headphones off and look up to see Miguel. "What's up?"

"I need you for this mission." He says and I nod standing up.

I grab the other end of my headphone and leave it wrapped around my neck as I hear the beautiful tune of Luismi's version of Sabor a Mi. My eyes lit up as I can still slightly hear it considering I had the volume high, who cares if I lose my hearing so young?

Miguel starts walking and I follow suit, mouthing along the lyrics to the romantic bolero. "Tanto tiempo disfrutamos de este amor. Nuestras almas se acercaron, tanto así" (For so long we have enjoyed this love. Our souls have gotten close enough)

Then I start humming the lyrics while we walk to the front of HQ. "Que yo guardo tu sabor. Pero tú llevas también. Sabor a mí" (That I now keep your taste, but you also keep. The taste of me)

Miguel side eyes me making me quickly shut up and he just shakes his head, "who are you listening to?"

I raise an eyebrow then smile, "Luismi!" I answer excitedly.

He just shrugs and I gasp, "No lo conoces?!?" (You don't know him?!?)

He shakes his head making my mouth nearly fall to the floor, "Como es posible- como- no lo conoces porque vives abajo de una roca o nomás no existía en tu universo?" I ask and he stops, giving me a glare making me bite my lip to refrain from laughing. (How is that possible? Do you not know him because you live under a rock or because he doesn't exist in your universe?)

"Nunca he escuchado ese nombre- como dijiste- Luismi? Que tipo de nombre es ese?" He snorts and I smack his shoulder as if he just said the most offensive thing imaginable. (I haven't heard that name- how'd you say- Luismi? What type of name is that?)

"Luis Miguel, guarda tus palabras cabron ese hombre es el sol de Mexico." I say pointing a finger at him as he starts walking again. (Be careful with your words bitch that man is the sun of Mexico)

"Pues no en mi Mexico." He mutters and I roll my eyes. (Well not in my Mexico)

"Voy a cambiar eso." I say and grin, quickly following him as he opens up a portal. (I'll change that)

"Oye Escorpión, tu conoces al sol de México?" I ask as I swing behind Scorpion and quickly web up his long ass tail. (Hey scorpion, do you know the sun of Mexico?)

"Is now really a good time to ask that-" Miguel chimes in webbing up the rest of his body as he raises an eyebrow.

"Luismi?" He asks and I laugh.

"Exacto." I say and look over at Miguel who rolled his eyes. (Exactly)

I created a portal as Miguel dragged Scorpion through it and we walked through the portal for a bit before walking through the other portal that led to where we keep the anomalies. "Almost too easy." I say and grin as Scorpion scoffs from the floor.

"No menti pero no te ofendas hiciste lo más que podías." I say making him groan and mutter swears at me. (I didn't lie, but don't get offended you did the most you could do)

Miguel hands him off to a few of the spiders who put him in a force field like cage and we walk back. "You're something else." He mutters making me grin.

"We already caught his ass and won't ever see him again it'll be fineeee." I say letting out a chuckle while he shakes his head.

"Eres algo más." He repeats and I laugh. (You're something else)

"Now let me put you on with some Luismi songs-"

"No-"

"Como que no-" (what do you mean no-)

"Que no-"

"Porque?!?" (Why?!?)

"Ya me diste lata con todo de tu mentado 'Luismi'-" he says and waves me off. (you've annoyed me with everything about your mentioned)

"No me ofendas O'Hara." I snarl making sure to enunciate his last name in Spanish. (Don't offend me)

"It's O-Hair-a-"

"Me valeee- si se escucha como Guadalajara así lo voy a decir." I snap back realizing I'm sounding like my tias back home, oh god. (I don't care- if it sounds like Guadalajara that's how I'm going to say it)

"Con el pinche nopalote en la frente y quieres que diga O'hara- por favor Miguel." I tease saying his last name like he wants me to and he just sighs. (With the fucking cactus on your forehead and you want me to say O'Hara- please. this only makes sense if you've heard it, it's like being able to tell someone is Mexican bc of your forehead)

"Y tu nombre se escucha súper más mejor completamente en español." I say and shrug as we finally made our way back to the cafeteria. (And your name sounds so much better completely in Spanish)

"Why do I put up with you-"

"Because you can't help but need to speak to another fellow hispanic spider! It's okay Miguel, I know I make you feel like home-"

"No exageres-" (don't exaggerate)

"I wasn't it was simply the truth." I say and fight back a smirk.

He chuckles and takes a seat at a table motioning for me to sit, I do and look up at him. He looks right back at me and we end up doing a little staring competition until he speaks up, "give me two recommendations-"

"La media vuelta y sabor a mi- espera no, hasta que me olvides- no- la bikina- pero la incondicional-" I blurt out then unsure of which ones I wanted him to listen to. (these are song names and I recommend them all<3)

"Nomas dos-" (only two-)

"La media vuelta y hasta que me olvides." I say and nod.

He sighs and pulls out his phone quickly writing something down. "You're gonna love them I promise!" I say and smile.

"Which one was the one you sang earlier?" He asks making my cheeks burn realizing I sang in front of him. Que vergüenza. (how embarrassing.)

"Uh it was sabor a mi. It's technically not his song, it's a Mexican bolero but I just love his version." I explain and he nods.

"Alright I'll report back to you soon and see if I like them-" he says but I had to interrupt.

"You will."

"Yeah yeah- and we'll see if he has good reason to be named 'el sol de México'" he says making me snort.

"Hold on this man isn't even Mexican-" Miguel says making me burst out laughing.

"Do not tell me you googled him-"

"I had to know more- and I did end up liking the songs so I wanted to see what he looked like and where he was from only to learn he was born in Puerto Rico-"

"Listen-"

"He isn't even Mexican-"

"His music is! And he grew up there so he counts as a Mexican!" I say and he just gives me a deadpan look.

"I'm serious- and he literally loves the culture, country, and music. That's where his heart belongs." I say and bite my lip trying hard to not laugh because of the look he was giving me.

"'Sol de México' my ass." He scolds making me clasp my hands over my mouth.

I was sitting on a chair in Miguel's desk, writing up a report while singing along to Sabor a Mi again. It was just so pretty and romantic, the melody was addicting to my ears and I felt a warm fuzzy feeling whenever I listened to it.

"Pasarán más de mil años, muchos más. Yo no sé si tenga amor la eternidad. Pero allá, tal como aquí. En la boca llevarás. Sabor a mí." I sing along and stop writing because I was getting into it.

I breathe in then continue, "No pretendo ser tu dueño. No soy nada yo no tengo vanidad. De mi vida doy lo bueno. Soy tan pobre, ¿qué otra cosa puedo dar?"

Then I hear Miguel walking towards me and singing? "Pasarán más de mil años, muchos más. Yo no sé si tenga amor la eternidad. Pero allá, tal como aquí en la boca llevarás, sabor a mí."

I turn to face him, mouth and eyes wide open making him chuckle, "me gusto mucho esa canción." He says and shrugs. (I really liked that song)

"Esta bonita verdad?" I ask and he nods. (It's pretty right?)

"Tan bonita." He says giving me a warm smile. (So pretty)

"Tal ves si es el sol de México...." He mumbles making me grin.

Parents Day

Masterlist

Paring: Xavier Thorpe x Mexican!Reader

Summary: it’s parent’s day and Xavier is finally going to meet his girlfriend’s parents.

Warnings: Spanish with translation. Boyfriend!Xavier, involved parents, probably many spelling mistakes

A/N: Since I don’t know much folklore or mythical creatures from different Latin American countries, I made the reader to be a catrina like La Muerte from Book of Life because it revolves around Mexican culture and that’s the culture I know the most. If you haven’t seen The Book of Life, La Muerte is made entirely of white sugar candy with knee-length black licorice hair that is tied in a low ponytail and multi-colored glowing eyes with aqua eyeshadow that are in shades of gold and red. Though a catrina itself is just a skeleton, La Muerte is different. La Muerte has magic to transform herself into a human, has telekinesis, can revive anything including nature, controls and generates fire, and in her catrina form, she leaves trail of marigold petals and levitates herself. So to avoid any confusion in Nevermore, Y/N is usually in the human form that she has created for herself. When her parents come in for parents day, they are in their catrina form. Xavier knows Y/N is a catrina but he has NEVER seen her in her catrina form. Understand? Cool.

This is how La Muerte looks, Y/N’s catrina form is basically like that but smaller since Y/N is younger. Y/N’s mom is basically La Muerte in her Catrina form

Y/N was hanging in Xavier’s art shed, just watching him paint.

“Are you excited for parents day tomorrow?” Xavier asked Y/N as she plays with the marigold plant she gave Xavier last week. “Kinda, why?” Y/N asked. “So I can finally meet your parents. You barely talk about them. Like I know you talk to them on the phone a lot but you never talk to me about them.” Xavier said as he got closer to Y/N. “There’s not much to tell, we’re a very Mexican family.” Y/N commented, waving her hand over the marigold so more flowers can sprout.

“Well I cant wait to meet them. I’ve even been practicing my Spanish.” Xavier said, sitting next to Y/N. “That’s good that you’ve been practicing.” Y/N commented. “I do have a question though, how come I’ve never seen you in your Catrina form?” Xavier asked. Y/N was shocked at the question, for the years you guys have been friends, months of dating, he has never asked this before. “I’ve been reading up on Catrinas so I don’t say anything stupid in front of your parents, right? In this book of Mexican Folklore, it says that a Catrina is made up of white sugar, candy, has black licorice for hair, their eyes are glowing candles, their faces are decorated, their clothes are made up of candy too. Catrinas are literally made up of sugar, slice, and everything nice! But they have the ability to take on different human forms. I’ve always seen you in your human for, how come I’ve never seen you in Catrina form?”

For Y/N it was a sensitive topic. Not that she didn’t like her Catrina form, she LOVED it, it was very beautiful, reminds her of when she would visit Mexico and see all her relatives. However, being the only Catrina in Nevermore, Y/N became self conscious.

“I’m not entirely comfortable with being in my Catrina form in front of people that are not my family.” Y/N said, when Xavier was about to say something, Y/N’s phone rang, a Luis Miguel song playing, Y/N got off the seat and walked towards his paintings. “My mom, LOVES him, bueno? (Hello)” Y/N answered the phone.

“Hola mi amor! Como has estado? Mañana es el Parents Day de tu escuela así que tu padre y yo vamos a estar contigo todo el día, llevaremos a tu hermano, me encantaría conocer a todos tus amigos. (Hello my love. How have you been? Tomorrow is Parents Day at your school so your dad and I will be with you the entire day, we’ll bring your brother with us too, I would love to meet all of your friends)” her mom said.

“Sí, claro mami. Van a estar con su forme humano o Catrina? (Yeah, of course. Are you guys gonna be in human form or Catrina form?)” Y/N asked. “Forme humano para no llamar mucho la atención. Pero eso sí, cuando ya me cansé, me vuelvo catrina, no entiendo como puedes mantenerte en forme humano todo el tiempo, aveces cansa (Human for to lay low. But once I’m tired, I’m going back to my Catrina form, I don’t get how you can stay in your human form all the time, it’s exhausting)” her mom commented. “Si lo sé, te hablo luego, adios (Yeah, I know, I’ll talk to you after, bye)” Y/N hung up the phone, Xavier just stared at her. “What?”

“I just love hearing you speak Spanish.” Xavier said with a loving smile. “Maybe you could teach me Spanish!” Xavier said, Y/N just laughed in disbelief, “Last time I tried teaching you Spanish, you didn’t pay attention like at all, so no. Stick to duolingo, guapo.” Y/N commented. “I know that word! It means handsome, right?” Xavier asked Y/N as he got up to stand in front of her, his hands on her hips. “Yes it does, good job.” Y/N said, Xavier leaned down and kissed her. They continued kissing until they ran out pf breath. “If we keeping kissing like that, I won’t be able to stop.” Xavier said, leaning his forehead against hers. “I’m going back to my dorm, don’t stay here too late.” Y/N said, giving Xavier one final kiss before leaving his art shed. As Y/N was walking back to Ophelia Hall, she was making figures with her fire powers, so much fun. She saw Yoko and Enid talking.

“Finally you’re here! We’re having a sleepover in the dorm, Divina and Wednesday are coming too.” Yoko told Y/N. “Are you sure Wednesday is the sleepover type?” Y/N asked, looking at Enid. “Maybe she’ll surprise you. I can’t wait to meet your parents tomorrow! What are they like? Are they really made out of candy? Are they coming in their Catrina form? I was asking Wednesday about Catrinas because Xavier has the book.” Enid said and Y/N was shocked. “Why do you want to learn about Catrinas?”

“Because you are one! No one is teaching us about different creatures and outcasts from around the world so I gotta learn.” Enid said. They entered Yoko and Y/N’s dorm and waited for Divina and Wednesday for the sleepover. “How is your mom dealing with the whole ‘not being able to wolf out’ thing?” Yoko asked Enid as Enid was painting Y/N’s nails a pastel blue color. “She’s not handling it well, I swear, we she comes for Parents Day, it’s going to be awful. I’m better off meeting Ajax’s parents, that doesn’t sound too bad, actually.” Enid said, a few minutes later Divina and Wednesday showed up. “Girls, you’re just in time, sit on the floor, let’s get started.” Yoko said.

Meanwhile Xavier and Ajax were playing video games. “Dude, I just don’t know what to say to her parents. What if they don’t speak English?” Xavier said. “There’s a reason why you’ve been learning Spanish. Just relax, her parents can’t be different from Y/N, you’ve been learning about Catrinas, why are so nervous about meeting them tomorrow?” Ajax asked, they have been having this same conversation for a week.

“I don’t know, i just want to make a good first impression.” Xavier said. “I’m sure you will. Now one last round before you go back to your dorm.” Ajax said.

The next day was Parents Day, Principal Weems finished her announcement. Enid was sitting with her parents, Wednesday was with her parents and Pugsley, Xavier and Y/N were sitting together at a table, talking to Ajax.

“There is no way you stoned yourself. I thought there were some showers without the mirrors.” Y/N said as she laughed after hearing Ajax’s story about why he couldn’t make his date with Enid. “There are! Those were taken though, such a horrible experience, even if it does last a couple of hours.” Ajax said. “My folks are here, I’ll talk to you guys later.” Ajax said, hugging both Y/N and Xavier. When Y/N and Xavier were talking, Y/N saw her parents walks in…they were in Catrina form. “Ay, no manches (no way)” Y/N said looking at her mom, she walked towards her parents.

“Hola hoja, como has estado? (Hi, how have you been?)” Y/N’s dad asked her, hugging her. “Pensé que iban a estar en forme humano, qué pasó? (I though you guys were gonna be in human form, what happened)” Y/N asked her dad, getting out of his hug. “Dante quería estar en su forme alebrije, por lo menos tu hermano está en forme humano (Dante wanted to be in his alebrije form, at least your brother is in human form)” Y/N’s mom said. “You couldn’t give me a warning?” Y/N asked her brother. “I would have but mom took away my phone.” Y/N’s brother said, she was gonna keep talking to him until she felt Xavier come up from behind her and hugged her.

“Are these your parents, babe?” Xavier asked. “Obviously, mami, papi, él es Xavier, mi novio. (Mom, dad, he is Xavier my boyfriend.)” Y/N said. “Mucho gusto conocerlos, señor y señora, mi español no es muy bueno pero estoy tratando lo mejor que puedo (nice you meet you, my Spanish isn’t really good but I’m doing the best I can)” Xavier said and Y/N looked proud, she kissed his cheek.

“Well, Xavier, it is nice to meet you too. Where are your parents?” You mom asked in English but with an accent. “My dad couldn’t make it.” Xavier said. “Oh that’s fine son, just spend the day with us, it will be fun, we brought tacos.” Y/N’s dad said. Xavier smiled, “I would love that, thank you.”

They went to the park/picnic area of the school so they could eat. “Here you go, honey, you should add the salsa to your taco, it tastes so good.” Y/N’s mom said. “Sure, thank you, is it spicy?” Xavier asked. “No, not really.” The whole family replied, Xavier added the salsa to his taco and took a big bite, a few seconds later, his eyes were watering and drank about half his bottle of water. “That’s really spicy, what the heck.” Xavier said.

“Rule number one; of a Mexican says something isn’t spicy, it is. If they say it’s a little spicy, it’s very spicy. If they says it’s very spicy, don’t eat it. Now you’re all caught up.” Y/N said as she finished her taco. The day continued that way until everyone’s parents had to leave, they said their goodbyes and now Xavier and Y/N were in his shed.

“I wanted to show you something. But first close your eyes.” Y/N said. Xavier did what she asked. “Okay, now open them.” Xavier opened his eyes and low and behold, Y/N was in her Catrina form. She looks very similar to her mom, except instead of having a big hat with candles and skulls, Y/N had a flower crown made out of marigolds, with 3 small skulls, and 2 small candles. Her dress was made up of cherry fruit roll ups, decorated with marigolds, the hem of the dress was lined with candles as well but the dress went up to their knee.

“What do you think?” Y/N said, she was floating, gauging Xavier’s reaction. “You look absolutely beautiful. Can I paint you like this?” Xavier asked. “Sure.” Y/N “flew” to the stool that Xavier longed her to, leaving a trail of marigold petals and she sat on the stool. “Is this pose fine, Xavi?” Y/N asked. “Yeah, babe, you’re good.” After about 2 hours of painting, Xavier was finished. Xavier showed Y/N the painting and when she saw it, she was so happy, his painting was amazing. He moved his hand in front of the painting to make it move and the Catrina in the portrait began dancing and twirling around. Y/N went back to her human form.

“Xavier, I love it, it turned out so beautiful.” Y/N hugged Xavier and Xavier kissed her forehead. “Of course, this is probably one of my favorite paintings yet. You, my love, are a walking work of art.” Xavier said and kissed Y/N. “You’re so sweet. Let’s go to your dorm though, maybe I can thank you a little more intimately.” Y/N said as they walked out of his shed.

Hope you guys like it, if you know of any other “mythical creatures” native of Latin American countries, it would awesome if you let me know. If not, every Hispanic outcast reader will be a Catrina or a Nagual.
