OKAY I HAVE TO RANT ABOUT THESE HILLARIOUS SCENARIOS I CAME UP WITH- (At least to me!)

Basically Vincent Valentine having his ass forced to babysit my OC Junior who's a Twitch streamer. This is how it goes (I might even draw this):

[have in mind that Junior is a cringey ass teenager💀]

This oc x canon interaction is strictly platonic!

*stream starts with Juniors face in the webcam*

Junior: ".... Hello everybody my name is Markipl-" *breaks character*

Junior: How's it GOINNN', mothershockers, IT'S YA BOIIII Junie, with a VERY special guest today!~ ... Give it up for da babysitter, the one and only, Vincent Valentine~!!!! *dramatic ahh Will Smith showing off hand pose*

*camera is set so only Vincents torso is shown as he sits cross-armed, his head and legs off-screen* (its gonna be like that during the entire stream)

*awkward silence*

Junior: ... Psst. Hey. Dude. Peace sign. Show it to the camera.

Vincent:

Junior: *nudges his gloved hand*

Vincent:

Vincent: *awkwardly shows the sign to the camera*

Junior: LET'G GOOOO-

Junior: *reading the comments*

"What is Dracula doing in your house dawg"

"AYO SICK COSPLAY DUDE- How did you make him do it"

"Oh no... is he going to start talking about the war"

"bLAh, bLAH bLAH"

"Don't com to ma house or I'll succ yo di- I MEAN BLOOD"

Junior: Well, the audience seems to like you already, man. What do you have to say about that, Vincent? *presents imaginary microphone to Vincent off-screen*

Vincent:

Junior: Understandable, have a great day.

Junior: —And that is why I personally think flies are spy cams sent from aliens out in space.

Vincent: *reveals his face* To the rude ones in this 'chat' today, a message from me: I will find you. One way... Or another.

*ends the stream*

(Fun fact: Junior's account went viral over night because of Vincent.)

" Absolutely~☆ We're all pitching in to keep her special day nice and Happy~♡!"

"Exactly! We couldn't even call ourselves Castle Guards if we couldn't defend her feelings from a few bad people. The thought alone boils my oil.."

" Hey hey, Hey! But what's that now, huh? Instead of being bummed out about Lowsy people, how's about we keep things electrifying?

The Easter bunny is a new & fun little addition in the Encanto for my Madrigals - Bruno was the first to reluctantly test it out a couple years ago (Just like Chandler when he’s dressed as the bunny in Friends 🤣) But he enjoys being able to make the village kids laugh & help them find the eggs! 🥚✨

It’s also Alba’s first Easter!

Masterlist

The day had been long. It had been that way for weeks now, chaos at every turn, deals to strike, enemies to silence. The undercity never slept, and neither did Silco. But tonight, for some reason, he was quieter than usual.

You stood in the kitchen, the familiar smell of your cooking filling the room. The stove’s soft crackle was the only sound, your hand rhythmically stirring a pot of something savory. A small smile tugged at your lips as you hummed the same old song, the one you used to sing when you first arrived in the undercity.

The hum of the stove, the sound of the rhythm, your own voice, it all felt comforting in this small space. A space where Silco could just be… Silco.

You glanced over your shoulder, and there he was, leaning in the doorway, arms crossed, watching you.

“You’ve been quiet tonight,” you said, your voice gentle, almost teasing.

Silco said nothing at first, his good eye flicking toward the flickering candlelight that softly illuminated the room. He was taking in the quiet, something that was rare for him. His fingers drummed absentmindedly on his arm, a sign of the constant thoughts running through his head, even when the world outside was still.

He stepped closer, his movements slow, deliberate. “I’ve been thinking,” he replied, his voice low and almost hesitant. The words seemed too heavy for him to say out loud. But you knew him too well to not catch the hint.

You smiled softly and turned back to the stove, knowing what he needed without asking. “About what?”

He leaned against the counter, watching as you moved with a practiced ease, your hands flipping something in the pan, your movements graceful, almost mesmerizing. “About how much this… this—” he paused, his words faltering for a moment before he caught himself. “This is what I’ve always wanted.”

The vulnerability in his voice made you pause for a second. It wasn’t often he allowed himself to be so open, so raw with his emotions. But with you, he did.

You turned to face him, wiping your hands on a towel before stepping toward him, closing the distance between you. Your hands found his, gentle but firm, a grounding touch that always seemed to calm him.

“This,” you said, a soft smile tugging at your lips, “this is us. It’s all we need.”

For a moment, Silco didn’t respond. He simply stood there, letting your words settle into him. You could see the tension in his face, the weight of the world pressing down on him. But when he looked at you, when his gaze softened, that fire in his eye flickering for a moment, you knew he felt something more. Something that went beyond the cold, ruthless man he was known to be.

He lifted his free hand and brushed a strand of hair behind your ear, his thumb gently grazing your cheek. “You make it easy, you know that?”

You tilted your head, leaning into his touch, your heart swelling with a love you didn’t quite know how to express. “It’s easy because you make me feel safe.”

The words hung in the air for a moment, heavy with meaning. Silco didn’t say anything at first, but his lips quirked upward in a small, almost imperceptible smile. It wasn’t often you saw him like this, vulnerable, content, and completely unburdened. But in your presence, he allowed it. And that, to you, was enough.

He pulled you close then, wrapping his arms around you in a rare moment of tenderness. You rested your head against his chest, feeling the rhythm of his heartbeat, steady and strong. It was a sound you had come to love, a sound that reminded you that, despite all the darkness and chaos that surrounded you, this, this, was where you both belonged.

“Promise me something,” he murmured against your hair.

You looked up at him, your heart full. “Anything.”

“Don’t ever leave me.”

The words, raw and sincere, sent a rush of warmth through your chest. You reached up, cupping his face in your hands, pressing a soft kiss to his cheek. “I’ll never leave you, Silco. You’re my home.”

For a moment, he didn’t speak, just held you tighter, the weight of his emotions heavy in the quiet of the room. You could feel the storm within him calming, the edges of his hardened exterior softening just enough for him to hold onto this moment, this peace.

The rest of the world, everything outside, everything they fought for, could wait. In that moment, it was just the two of you. And that was enough.

You pulled back slightly, just enough to look up at him. The warmth in your chest grew, and without thinking, you reached for the pot simmering on the stove, checking the seasoning.

“Te gustaría un poco de arroz con frijoles?” (Would you like some rice and beans?) you asked, your voice playful but warm. You always knew how to lighten the atmosphere with something simple, something familiar, something from your past that you held close.

Silco watched you for a moment, a slight quirk in his lips, the smallest trace of a smile tugging at his usually stern expression. He didn’t always understand the little things you did, but he never stopped watching, never stopped trying to understand you more. And somehow, that made it easier to be yourself around him.

“I don’t understand why you insist on calling everything you cook ‘comfort food,’” he murmured, watching as you worked with a tenderness in your movements. “What’s so comforting about rice and beans?”

You laughed softly, shaking your head as you turned the stove off, stirring the meal with an ease that only came from years of practice. “Es un plato sencillo,( It is a simple dish ) but it’s more than just food. It’s what my mamá used to make when we were little. After a long day, arroz con frijoles always felt like home.”

You leaned back against the counter, watching him, the smile fading just a little as you spoke about your family. Silco sensed the shift, the way you’d suddenly grown quieter. He knew your story wasn’t always easy to share, he could see it in the way your eyes softened when you spoke about your past. And as much as he wanted to push, to ask more, he understood when it was time to simply listen.

Without a word, he walked over to where you stood, and this time, it wasn’t the harshness of his presence that overwhelmed you. It was the subtle strength, the warmth he provided just by being near. He cupped your cheek again, his thumb brushing over your skin with the same tenderness he’d given you earlier.

“You’ve carried so much,” he said quietly, his voice almost reverent. “I can see it in you.”

You leaned into his hand, your eyes closing briefly as a wave of emotion swept over you. Your Latina heritage had always been a part of you, something you wore proudly, but it was also a reminder of what you had left behind. The love, the culture, the warmth of your family. Sometimes it felt so far away, especially here in Zaun.

But in his arms, you felt something close to that same sense of safety you had back home. Home, it had always been more than a place. It was the people. It was the food you made, the songs you hummed, the stories shared in a language that only you and your family understood.

“Te amo, Silco,” (I love you, silco) you whispered, the words flowing easily now, a little more than a declaration of love, they were an anchor, a promise. “Even when things get hard… I carry this part of me with me. I carry them with me.”

His gaze softened, and for the first time, he said nothing in return. He simply pulled you closer, your bodies fitting together perfectly, as though you were two pieces of a puzzle that had been waiting to meet.

And in that moment, Silco understood something deeper than just loyalty or protection. He understood why you loved the way you did, why you gave so freely, despite everything that had happened in your past. You were woven from the same threads of strength and love, no matter where you came from. And he would never take that for granted.

“Whatever happens,” he said, his voice firm with conviction, “we’re a family now.”

Your heart swelled at his words, the weight of them sinking deep into your soul. You had never imagined that this, this life, this love, was possible. But in his arms, it felt like everything you had ever hoped for.

You kissed him then, soft and slow, a kiss that tasted of shared promises and quiet love. When you pulled away, you rested your forehead against his, the warmth of the moment wrapping around you both.

“Gracias,” you whispered.

For the first time in what felt like forever, Silco allowed himself to smile, genuine, small, but there. He didn’t need to say anything more. There was nothing else that needed to be said.

In the quiet of your home, surrounded by the scent of your cooking and the sounds of the world outside, you and Silco were finally at peace.

El Gobierno de Javier Milei anunció que modificará la ley de Educación con el objetivo de "penar el adoctrinamiento en las escuelas", lo cual es básicamente prohibir la enseñanza de la historia, ciudadanía y otras disciplinas humanísticas basadas en datos científicos porque puede contradecir su propio relato del pasado basado en mentiras.

Los artículos que se buscan eliminar son:

ARTÍCULO 11.- Los fines y objetivos de la política educativa nacional son:

a) Asegurar una educación de calidad con igualdad de oportunidades y posibilidades, sin desequilibrios regionales ni inequidades sociales.

b) Garantizar una educación integral que desarrolle todas las dimensiones de la persona y habilite tanto para el desempeño social y laboral, como para el acceso a estudios superiores.

c) Brindar una formación ciudadana comprometida con los valores éticos y democráticos de participación, libertad, solidaridad, resolución pacífica de conflictos, respeto a los derechos humanos, responsabilidad, honestidad, valoración y preservación del patrimonio natural y cultural.

d) Fortalecer la identidad nacional, basada en el respeto a la diversidad cultural y a las particularidades locales, abierta a los valores universales y a la integración regional y latinoamericana.

e) Garantizar la inclusión educativa a través de políticas universales y de estrategias pedagógicas y de asignación de recursos que otorguen prioridad a los sectores más desfavorecidos de la sociedad.

f) Asegurar condiciones de igualdad, respetando las diferencias entre las personas sin admitir discriminación de género ni de ningún otro tipo.

g) Garantizar, en el ámbito educativo, el respeto a los derechos de los/as niños/as y adolescentes establecidos en la Ley N° 26.061.

h) Garantizar a todos/as el acceso y las condiciones para la permanencia y el egreso de los diferentes niveles del sistema educativo, asegurando la gratuidad de los servicios de gestión estatal, en todos los niveles y modalidades.

i) Asegurar la participación democrática de docentes, familias y estudiantes en las instituciones educativas de todos los niveles.

j) Concebir la cultura del trabajo y del esfuerzo individual y cooperativo como principio fundamental de los procesos de enseñanza-aprendizaje.

k) Desarrollar las capacidades y ofrecer oportunidades de estudio y aprendizaje necesarias para la educación a lo largo de toda la vida.

l) Fortalecer la centralidad de la lectura y la escritura, como condiciones básicas para la educación a lo largo de toda la vida, la construcción de una ciudadanía responsable y la libre circulación del conocimiento.

m) Desarrollar las competencias necesarias para el manejo de los nuevos lenguajes producidos por las tecnologías de la información y la comunicación.

n) Brindar a las personas con discapacidades, temporales o permanentes, una propuesta pedagógica que les permita el máximo desarrollo de sus posibilidades, la integración y el pleno ejercicio de sus derechos.

ñ) Asegurar a los pueblos indígenas el respeto a su lengua y a su identidad cultural, promoviendo la valoración de la multiculturalidad en la formación de todos/as los/as educandos/as.

o) Comprometer a los medios masivos de comunicación a asumir mayores grados de responsabilidad ética y social por los contenidos y valores que transmiten.

p) Brindar conocimientos y promover valores que fortalezcan la formación integral de una sexualidad responsable.

q) Promover valores y actitudes que fortalezcan las capacidades de las personas para prevenir las adicciones y el uso indebido de drogas.

r) Brindar una formación corporal, motriz y deportiva que favorezca el desarrollo armónico de todos/as los/as educandos/as y su inserción activa en la sociedad.

s) Promover el aprendizaje de saberes científicos fundamentales para comprender y participar reflexivamente en la sociedad contemporánea.

t) Brindar una formación que estimule la creatividad, el gusto y la comprensión de las distintas manifestaciones del arte y la cultura.

u) Coordinar las políticas de educación, ciencia y tecnología con las de cultura, salud, trabajo, desarrollo social, deportes y comunicaciones, para atender integralmente las necesidades de la población, aprovechando al máximo los recursos estatales, sociales y comunitarios.

v) Promover en todos los niveles educativos y modalidades la comprensión del concepto de eliminación de todas las formas de discriminación.

ARTÍCULO 126.- Los/as alumnos/as tienen derecho a:

a) Una educación integral e igualitaria en términos de calidad y cantidad, que contribuya al desarrollo de su personalidad, posibilite la adquisición de conocimientos, habilidades y sentido de responsabilidad y solidaridad sociales y que garantice igualdad de oportunidades.

b) Ser respetados/as en su libertad de conciencia, en el marco de la convivencia democrática.

c) Concurrir a la escuela hasta completar la educación obligatoria.

d) Ser protegidos/as contra toda agresión física, psicológica o moral.

e) Ser evaluados/as en su desempeño y logros, conforme a criterios rigurosa y científicamente fundados, en todos los niveles, modalidades y orientaciones del sistema, e informados/as al respecto.

f) Recibir el apoyo económico, social, cultural y pedagógico necesario para garantizar la igualdad de oportunidades y posibilidades que le permitan completar la educación obligatoria.

g) Recibir orientación vocacional, académica y profesional-ocupacional que posibilite su inserción en el mundo laboral y la prosecución de otros estudios.

h) Integrar centros, asociaciones y clubes de estudiantes u otras organizaciones comunitarias para participar en el funcionamiento de las instituciones educativas, con responsabilidades progresivamente mayores, a medida que avancen en los niveles del sistema.

i) Participar en la toma de decisiones sobre la formulación de proyectos y en la elección de espacios curriculares complementarios que propendan a desarrollar mayores grados de responsabilidad y autonomía en su proceso de aprendizaje.

j) Desarrollar sus aprendizajes en edificios que respondan a normas de seguridad y salubridad, con instalaciones y equipamiento que aseguren la calidad del servicio educativo.

Básicamente el gobierno quiere eliminar los pilares de una educación entendida desde el derecho de las/os/es estudiantes, basada en saberes científicos, con una orientación integral, desde una perspectiva democrática y de respeto a sus identidades y subjetividades. Para ello comienza amenazando con perseguir políticamente a las/os/es docente que sostenemos con compromiso el derecho a la educación en un contexto de desidia y desfinanciamiento.

La persecución que se asoma en el horizonte ya la vivimos en este país durante la dictadura, sin importar las amenazas, seguiremos defendiendo la escuela pública. A la dictadura no volvemos Nunca Más!

Eu programei os grupos F e G pra 1 dia em vez de 1 semana e queria saber a opinião de vocês: o que faço sobre isso?

[sofea-00]

20 novelas .

"El extranjero" de Albert Camus

Junto a La Peste, esta es una excelente novela para comenzar a cultivar el hábito de la lectura. Camus explora el absurdo de la existencia a través del personaje Meursault, un hombre indiferente ante el mundo. 

"La metamorfosis" de Franz Kafka

Si ya leíste esta obra en la escuela, volverla a leer en la actualidad puede ayudar a despertar tu gusto por la lectura. Recordaremos la historia de Gregorio Samsa, quien una mañana despierta convertido en un insecto gigante, lo que genera un drástico cambio en su vida y la de su familia. 

"Crónica de una muerte anunciada" de Gabriel García Márquez

Con Gabo nunca hay pierde y esta novela es sumamente corta y nos cuenta la historia del asesinato de Santiago Nasar, manteniendo el suspenso sobre cómo se desarrolla el crimen. 

"Seda" de Alessandro Baricco

El escritor italiano nos ofrece una historia poética y sutil sobre la travesía de un comerciante de seda a Japón y el impacto de este viaje en su relaciones personales. Una mezcla de vida y amor. 

"El viejo y el mar" de Ernest Hemingway

La obra del Nobel estadounidense a parte de ser muy elogiada es breve. No es difícil conectar con la épica lucha entre un pescador cubano y un enorme pez en el mar. Se trata de una obra llena de simbolismo sobre la perseverancia y la dignidad humana. 

"Rebelión en la granja" de George Orwell

Sobre esta novela hemos hablado bastante e incluso Orwell nos ha brindado consejos. No puede faltar la sátira política que narra la revolución de los animales en una granja y cómo el poder corrompe a sus líderes. 

"Pedro Páramo" de Juan Rulfo

Esta es una de mis lecturas favoritas del 2023. La novela por excelencia de Juan Rulfo que mezcla realismo mágico y mitología para narrar la historia de Juan Preciado en busca de su padre dentro de un pueblo fantasma. 

"El principito" de Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

Muchos crecimos viendo las ilustraciones del principito, pero tal vez no entendíamos muy bien el mensaje que las acompañaba. Esta novela corta del escritor francés puede adentrarnos más en el universo literario. Viajaremos con el pequeño príncipe, quien reflexiona sobre la vida, el amor y la amistad. 

"Aura" de Carlos Fuentes

El mexicano Fuentes, nos ofrece una novela corta y misteriosa que combina la realidad con lo sobrenatural, centrada en un joven historiador que acepta un misterioso encargo en la casa de una anciana. 

"La perla" de John Steinbeck

El escritor estadounidense nos cuenta la vida de un pescador que encuentra una perla extraordinaria y cuyo hallazgo trae consigo esperanza y tragedia. Una obra que puedes leer en un día o máximo dos. 

"La muerte en Venecia" de Thomas Mann

El alemán Thomas Mann nos ofrece este clásico drama que explora la obsesión y la belleza, aquí se nos cuenta la historia de un escritor que se siente fuertemente atraído por un jovencito en la ciudad de Venecia. 

"Bartleby, el escribiente" de Herman Melville

No podía faltar una obra de Melville. Un relato sobre un escribiente en una oficina de Wall Street que poco a poco va abandonando su trabajo diciendo siempre "preferiría no haberlo". 

"La perra" de Pilar Quintana

Si quieres terminar una novela en un día esta es la indicada. Aquí leerás la vida de una mujer en un pueblo costero colombiano y su compleja relación con el cachorro que adopta. Hermoso.

"El túnel" de Ernesto Sabato

Sabato nos ofrece una obra sencilla de leer pero cautivadora a la vez, porque nos sumerge en la confesión de un perturbado pintor obsesionado con una mujer y que termina cometiendo un crimen pasional. 

"Los cachorros" de Mario Vargas Llosa

Más que una novela, este es un relato largo sobre la vida de un grupo de amigos en el colegio y su paso a la adultez. 

"La caída" de Albert Camus

Si te gusta reflexionar, este es sin duda un monólogo filosófico en el que el narrador cuenta su historia en un bar de Ámsterdam, revelando todos sus pecados y contradicciones. 

"El gran Gatsby" de F. Scott Fitzgerald

No podía faltar la "belle époque" norteamericana con esta obra de Fitzgerald que captura la esencia de la Era del Jazz en los Estados Unidos, donde Jay Gatsby es el protagonista de un tórrido amor del pasado que tiene consecuencias en el presente. 

"Las batallas en el desierto" de José Emilio Pacheco

El escritor mexicano tiene una novela corta que narra el amor platónico de un niño por la madre de su amigo, allá por el México de los años 40. 

"El coronel no tiene quien le escriba" de Gabriel García Márquez

Regresamos nuevamente a Gabo, con una novela corta que narra la vida de un coronel retirado que espera una pensión que jamás llega, mientras día a día lucha por sobrevivir junto a su esposa en un lejano pueblo. 

"Otra vuelta de tuerca" de Henry James

Y para finalizar, una historia de terror psicológico donde una institutriz que cuida a dos niños en una mansión victoriana, donde comienza a suceder cosas muy raras. Definitivamente esta quiero leer.
