latino joel miller hc’s because i said so
until hbo strikes me down these are 100% canon too
general hc’s:
knows spanish, but family assimilated so he didn’t pass it on to sarah. regrets it 100% (she takes classes in school eventually to surprise him)
(tommy definitely taught her the curse words though)
!!!!!flamenco on the guitar!!!!!!
post-outbreak joel teaching ellie how to curse in spanish since they won’t let her curse in english in jackson
but also teaching her the language in general bc he didn’t get to with sarah, and you know damn well they weren’t teaching foreign languages in fedra school
ellie: No mommies way
joel: close enough
post-outbreak joel learning how to cook just so he can cook all his old favorite dishes with whatever he can find (still not better than texmex)
selena stan through and through this is inevitable
tío joel w tommy’s kid post outbreak jackson……..
el muchacho de los ojos tristes
joel x reader hc’s (no/pre-outbreak or jackson post-outbreak!):
the pet names obviously; angelita, hermosa, querida, mi vida, cielito, etc etc etc
sings to you in spanish <333
teaches YOU all the dirty words (you have to bully him. because he keeps saying them and you don’t know what they mean and every time you ask he just smiles and walks away)
if you Do know spanish, you speak to each other in the language all the time. esp around either sarah or ellie, if you want them to learn, but also just to keep it alive in your brains and the world
post outbreak, it eventually catches on a lot in jackson and y’all are asked to teach a class <3
post-outbreak: you find an old selena mixtape and gift it to him and he cries
you don’t know joel is teaching ellie the curse words so you hear her call someone a pendejo and immediately go hit joel up the back of the head
latino reader being a folklorico dancer pre-outbreak heheh
there are probably so many more in my head. share if you have any yourself! <3

Scar's win has me feeling all sorts of emotions. How he admitted his alliance could have gone either way. How he continued to embrace being the villain but flat out refusing to kill Pearl until it really came down to it and the fight was as fair as it could have been. How he had so, so many chances to betray people one on one, and didn't. How jumpy and paranoid he was, on such high alert to every threat that telling Bdubs about Etho's death had him scared of Bdubs coming after him on a horse. How he still kept burning bases and causing chaos despite the flat out warfare going on. How he wasn't able to trust Pearl enough to look behind him but at the same time was only fighting her at all because his loyalty got him there. How he didn't realise he'd killed Pearl and kept trying to pursue her, thinking it was some sort of trick. How Grian of all people had to tell him that she'd died, and Scar had won. How shocked he was to realise it. How he stood there for a moment, just taking hits from that zombie. How he didn't understand how the guy with no friends had made it this far. How the villain, all alone, survived. And how upon approaching the Secret Keeper to succeed, he didn't die, not like in every other series. No, his task was renewed. To win Secret Life. Scar might have been the last one living, but he never got out.

does it smell like a school gymnasium in here
and, “if it weren’t for second chances, we’d all be alone”
high school reunion au where you and joel skirted around each other all four years in high school, maybe even came close to something, but (he eventually started dating sarah’s mom. you thought you didn’t stand a chance). ten year reunion comes around and you barely even want to go. you left austin forever ago, it didn’t serve you the way you needed it to, but you go. you go, and the second you get there, you see him and he sees you and neither of you can leave until one of you says a word. and the moment you do it’s like no time has passed—he’s different, and you’re different, but there’s something that still intrinsically draws you to one another. he’s rougher around the edges, got these big, melancholic brown eyes, but his smile is the same. he tells you about sarah—“how is her mom?” you ask. “wouldn’t know,” he says. and then he asks if you’ve got someone waiting for you at home, and you say no, and he leans in closer for the rest of the night. maybe ten years ago neither of you were who you needed to be for one another. maybe now you are. you wouldn’t know, not for sure, so you can only pray he asks to stay in touch by the end of the night. he does. you kiss his cheek. joel miller has found a way back into your life and you’re not too fond on letting him leave it again.
