funniest part about people writing self inserts for miguel where he gives pet names in spanish is that miguel in the comics never struck me as someone who uses Spanish regularly if ever... like sure you can blame that on peter david not wanting to use Spanish too much since he's a gringo but also it's easy to think it's cause he spent a lot of his teen years outside of home and he just doesn't have a good relationship with his mom. we don't even see him speaking Spanish with Gabi either

unspoken words
Lando Norris x Amelie Dayman
Summary: As the Baku Grand Prix wraps up with McLaren at the top of the Constructors' Championship, Lando and Amelie navigate the aftermath of a rocky week.
Wordcount: 2.5 k
Warnings: none
full masterlist // request over here!
Tumblr media
September 15th, 2024 - Baku, Azerbaijan
The Baku Grand Prix had just come to a thrilling end, and McLaren had emerged as the new leaders in the Constructors’ Championship. The streets of the city were still buzzing with excitement, and the teams were celebrating their successes. But for Lando, the victory felt bittersweet. He had fought tooth and nail to claw his way from 15th place to a hard-earned 4th, a performance he could be proud of. Meanwhile, his teammate Oscar had triumphed in the race, bringing home another win for McLaren. It was a victory worth celebrating, but Lando’s mind kept drifting back to the unresolved tension in his life.
The week before, things had been different. He and Amelie, the one person who could always lift his mood, had gotten into a massive fight. It was over something that seemed so small, but it had turned into something much bigger—a storm of jealousy, insecurity, and hurt feelings. Lando had gone to Portugal with Pietra and Max, a trip that had been arranged long before the drama with Amelie started. But it was there that he had run into Magui Corceiro again, and that was the trigger. Lando hadn’t told Amelie about it, and that omission had led to a deep, unsaid hurt. Amelie had felt betrayed, her insecurities amplifying with every passing day.
Now, after the race in Baku, things still weren’t resolved. Amelie had been distant, not responding to his texts, avoiding his calls. She had posted some cryptic messages on social media, clearly upset, but Lando was trying to give her space. He knew he’d messed up, and he wanted to make things right, but he wasn’t sure where to begin.
That’s when his phone buzzed, vibrating against the bed in his hotel room. He looked down at the screen, blinking in surprise as he saw Amelie’s name pop up.
Ames💛: Congrats on the constructors lead! Well deserved. I’m happy for you. 🫶
Lando stared at the message, his heart racing. It was simple—sweet, even—but there was something unmistakably off about it. He could practically hear her tipsy tone in the way she had texted, the loose enthusiasm of someone who had a few drinks and lowered their guard. It had been over a week since they’d spoken, and while her words were kind, they weren’t exactly her sober self.
He tapped the screen, his thumb hesitating over her name. A call felt risky, but the way things had been left between them, he knew he couldn’t let the moment pass. Before he could overthink it, he hit the call button.
It rang twice before she answered.
—Landooo,— Amelie sang out, her voice filled with an unmistakable mix of amusement and tequila-induced cheer. —Wow, the superstar calls me back after a text. What a privilege.—
He couldn’t help but chuckle softly, relieved she’d picked up at all. —Ames,— he said, his voice soft but edged with concern. —Where are you?—
—I’m in Tequila!— she said dramatically, laughing as if the name of the place itself was a punchline. —Independence Day. Viva México, baby!—
In the background, he could hear loud music, laughter, and the telltale clink of glasses. He pictured her surrounded by her friends, probably wearing some colorful dress, her cheeks flushed from both the drinks and the night’s energy.
—You sound…— He hesitated, trying to find the right word.
—Drunk?— she offered with a giggle.
—I was going to say happy,— he countered, a smile creeping onto his face despite himself. —But yeah, maybe a little drunk too.—
—What’s it to you, Norris?— she teased, but there was no real malice in her tone.
His smile faded slightly. —Ames, I’m sorry. For last week. For everything.—
—Lando…— she started, her voice quieter now, as though she’d stepped away from the crowd. He heard the faint shuffling of her movements, likely finding a quieter corner. —I don’t want to do this right now. Not while I’m like this.—
But even as she said it, he could hear something else in her voice—something fragile, like she was holding back tears.
—Ames, please,— he said softly, his voice cracking slightly. He rubbed his hand over his face, letting out a sigh. —I need to talk to you. I hate how we left things.—
—You hate it?— she echoed, and the bitterness in her voice was like a punch to the gut. —You hate it, Lando? Try being on my side of things.—
He felt his chest tighten. —I know I messed up. I should’ve told you about Magui being there. I didn’t mean for it to come across like I was hiding something. I wasn’t… I swear.—
Her laugh was sharp and dry, a sound that cut through the distance between them. —Yeah, well, intentions don’t always fix the hurt, Lando.—
—I know,— he said quickly, desperate to keep her talking. —I know, and that’s why I want to make it right. I didn’t think… I didn’t realize how it would make you feel. That’s on me. I’m sorry.—
There was a long silence, broken only by the muffled sounds of the party in the background.
—Lando,— she finally said, and he could hear the tears she was trying so hard to hide. —It’s not just about Magui. It’s… everything. Sometimes I feel like… like I’m just waiting for the other shoe to drop. Like one day, I’m not going to be enough for you, and you’ll realize you can do better.—
Her words hit him like a gut punch, and he felt his own tears prick at the corners of his eyes.
—Ames,— he whispered, his voice thick with emotion. —Don’t say that. Don’t ever say that. You’re… you’re everything to me. I mean it.—
He heard her sniffle on the other end, and it broke him a little more.
—I don’t know why I’m telling you this right now,— she muttered, half-laughing at herself. —I’ve had too much tequila, and I promised myself I wouldn’t cry over you tonight.—
—Amelie…— His voice cracked again, and he didn’t bother hiding the tears that spilled down his cheeks now. —I don’t want to be the reason you cry. Ever. Please. Just… tell me what I can do to fix this.—
She was quiet again, and for a moment, he thought she might have hung up. But then she sighed, a sound so heavy it felt like it carried all the weight she’d been holding in.
—I don’t know, Lando,— she admitted. —But I can’t do this tonight. Not like this. Just… let me have this night, okay? I’ll call you tomorrow. Or the next day.—
He nodded, even though she couldn’t see him. —Okay. But I mean it, Ames. I’ll do whatever it takes to make this right. I… I can’t stand not talking to you.—
Her laugh was soft this time, and it carried a hint of something warmer. —You’re lucky I love you, Norris.—
The words were casual, almost flippant, but they made his heart soar.
—I’m the luckiest,— he said quietly.
—Good. Don’t forget it,— she teased, her tone a little lighter now. —Go celebrate your championship lead. You deserve it.—
—Not without you,— he murmured, but she’d already hung up, leaving him staring at the screen.
Lando set his phone down, wiping at his eyes as he leaned back against the pillows. The Constructors’ Championship lead felt meaningless without her by his side, but for the first time in days, he felt a flicker of hope.
The sun streamed through the curtains of Amelie’s hotel room, far brighter than she would have liked. Groaning, she pulled a pillow over her head, cursing the world and the tequila that had seemed like such a good idea last night. Her head pounded in rhythm with her heartbeat, her mouth dry as the Jalisco heat outside.
Chilaquiles. The word popped into her mind like a lifesaver, and she knew she needed them desperately if she had any hope of surviving the day.
Amelie dragged herself out of bed, her legs shaky as she shuffled toward the small table where her friends had left a platter of chilaquiles. The smell of salsa, melted cheese, and crispy tortillas filled the room, making her stomach both churn and growl. She grabbed a fork, taking a hesitant bite and then another, the flavors slowly bringing her back to life.
Her phone buzzed on the table beside her, the screen lighting up with a notification. She hesitated before picking it up, knowing exactly who she needed to call but unsure if she was ready for the conversation. The events of last night played in her mind like a fuzzy, tequila-fueled montage. She’d said things—felt things—that she wasn’t sure she wanted to face in the harsh clarity of daylight.
But she owed it to him. And to herself.
Taking a deep breath, she tapped on Lando’s name and hit call. It rang twice before his voice came through, groggy but instantly alert.
—Ames?—
Her heart twisted at the sound of his voice. —Hey,— she said, her voice quieter than she intended. —I, uh, I wanted to call. To… talk.—
There was a pause, and she could hear him sitting up, the rustle of sheets in the background. —I’m glad you did,— he said softly. —How are you feeling?—
—Like death,— she admitted with a weak laugh. —Tequila won this round.—
He chuckled, the sound easing some of the tension in her chest. —Serves you right for partying without me.—
She smiled despite herself, twirling a forkful of chilaquiles as she worked up the courage to say what needed to be said. —About yesterday…—
—Lando, I’m sorry,— Amelie began, her voice soft but steady. —For how I reacted. For shutting you out. I just… I don’t know how to deal with these feelings sometimes. The jealousy, the insecurity… it’s not who I want to be, but it gets the better of me.—
Lando let out a long breath, the weight of her words sinking in. —You don’t have to apologize, Ames. I should’ve told you about Magui. I wasn’t trying to hide anything; I just… didn’t think it through. And that was selfish of me.—
She poked at the chilaquiles on her plate, her appetite fading as the conversation grew heavier. —It’s not just Magui, Lando. It’s everything. The traveling, the attention, the people constantly around you. Sometimes it feels like I’m fighting a battle I’ve already lost.—
His chest tightened at her admission, the vulnerability in her voice cutting through him. —You’re not losing anything, Amelie. You’re not fighting alone, either. I know my life comes with… complications, but none of that matters if it means I lose you. You’re the one thing I don’t ever want to lose.—
Her lips parted, his words wrapping around her like a warm blanket. —Lando, I love you. I really do. But this… us… it’s not easy. And I don’t want to pretend like it is.—
—It’s not easy,— he agreed, his voice thick with emotion. —But it’s worth it. You’re worth it, Amelie. I don’t care how hard it gets, as long as we don’t give up on each other.—
She felt her eyes sting, her breath hitching as she tried to hold back tears. —You say that now, but what happens the next time I get insecure? The next time you’re halfway across the world and I’m left wondering where I stand?—
—Then we talk,— he said firmly. —We don’t let it fester like we did this time. I’m learning, Ames. I’m trying. I need you to trust that.—
Amelie let out a shaky breath, wiping at her eyes with the back of her hand. —I do trust you, Lando. I just… I need you to be patient with me. With this.—
—Always,— he said without hesitation. —We’ll figure it out together. I promise.—
For a moment, there was silence, but it wasn’t the uncomfortable kind. It was the kind that came when words weren’t enough to express everything being felt. Amelie closed her eyes, letting the warmth of his reassurance seep into her.
—Thank you,— she finally said, her voice barely above a whisper.
—For what?— he asked, his tone lighter now.
—For calling me last night. For not giving up. For… just being you.—
He smiled softly, even though she couldn’t see it. —You don’t have to thank me for that, Ames. It’s what I’m here for.—
Her lips quirked into a small smile. —You better be. Because I don’t think I could do this without you.—
—Good thing you’ll never have to,— he replied, the weight of their earlier fight lifting with every word.
As they continued talking, the tension between them melted away, replaced by a tentative hope. It wasn’t a perfect resolution—nothing ever was—but it was a start. A step forward. And for now, that was enough.
Amelie glanced at the now-empty plate of chilaquiles, her hangover easing slightly as the conversation filled her with something stronger than coffee or breakfast ever could: reassurance.

She did her best to survive until one day she got caught trying to steal food from the palace, Mileena took pity on her and asked Sindel to allow her to stay, and she did for a while...until an indicent happened, where a certain sorcerer tricked her into working for him while hiding his true kind of experiments from her.

— She was just curious at first, but decided to stay and help once she met Baraka, whom she felt deeply sympathetic for after knowing what he and his people went through.

— Oftenly gifts flower-crowns to Baraka.
— Her voice sounds like Kimberly Brooks, specially Rosalind Starling (Lollipop Chainsaw) and Bab Juju (Skylanders).
— In spanish dub she would be voiced by Melissa Gedeón, and in japanese dub Mariya Ise.

Cómo se conocieron Frank y Eddie? 😭💖
Tumblr media Tumblr media
🚛 [contexto] 📻;; Frank siempre ha usado paquetería particular, siempre, y dada la mala fama de los servicios públicos de mensajería se negaba a usar dichos servicios para sus materiales, y más con un desfile de moda en Milán al cual había sido invitado y para el cuál quería hacer unos diseños exclusivos con telas especiales. En las prisas de alistarse para todo lo que tenía que hacer, Frank le pidió a Wally que alistara el envío, confiando que QUIZÁS su amigo pagaría una mensajería particular, pero la neta es que puro pedo, a Wally le valió tres palos y lo mandó por Correos de México, en donde Eddie trabaja! :D
Cuando Eddie llego a la zona, en alguna parte de Polanco— pues todo está bien lindo, bien bonito, bien pipirisnaiz y pues toca la puerta y TRAS, que sale el aclamado Hugo Lombardi hecho muppet, perfumadito y luciendo una cosa pero boniiita! Y Eddie, para qué mentir? Quedó flechado a primera vista! :D
📂 Eng. Version. 🌐
🚛 [context] 📻;; Frank has always used private parcel delivery, always, and given the bad reputation of public courier services, he refused to use said services for his materials, especially with a fashion show in Milan to which he had been invited and for which he wanted to do some exclusive designs with special fabrics. In the rush to get ready for everything he had to do, Frank asked Wally to get the shipment ready, trusting that MAYBE his friend would pay for a private courier, but the bottom line is that it cost Wally three bucks and he sent it. by Correos de México, where Eddie works! :D
When Eddie arrived to the area, somewhere in Polanco— well, everything is very neat, very nice, very cute and when he knocks on the door, SHOOKA, the acclaimed Hugo Lombardi (please, look up this character, I love his sassyness) comes out, turned into a muppet, perfumed and looking pretty! And Eddie, why would we lie? He was fascinated at first sight! :D

I'm loving the stories! I'm heading to Mexico in a few weeks with work, but hoping to immerse myself in the culture a bit. Can you help me out?
You find yourself in front of your local Spanish-language association. You thought that taking a few classes in Spanish would help you recover some of the long forgotten classes you took in high school… though in all honesty, it won’t likely do much. You’re quite old, now, so it means that your brain cannot learn new languages as easily as it used to...
As you enter, you see the Mexican flag front and center, along with flags of many other Latin American countries, as well as that of Spain. You walk up to the receptionist, and she tells you, directly in Spanish :
“¡Bienvenidos! ¿Cuál es el motivo de usted venida? (Welcome ! What is the reason you came here ?) - Er…” You try to conjure some of the very old memories, and only manage a “Hola !” Before going back to English. “I’m sorry, I don’t really know Spanish… I’m here to take classes, in fact.”
The receptionist nods, and thinks a bit before taking out a timetable.
“Okay, well, you see, I have a... beginner’s course of Spanish in a few hours… It’s not perfect because they already started in January, but I think you can still catch up if you work hard enough.” She says, with a perfect American accent. She is visibly bilingual. - Oh, in a few hours ?”
You are quite interested, considering that you did want some beginner-level courses, but in a few hours… That’s too short to just go back home and come back later, but that’s also too long to just stay here and wait without getting bored !
The receptionist notices your embarrassment.
“You know, we are also a place where Spanish learners and native speakers can hang out. If you want, you can go to the hangout room while waiting ?” She offers sympathetically. - Well yeah, I could do that.” You nod. It may be geared towards more hard-core learners, but you can always try to immerse yourself…
You go to the room she waves you to. It isn’t loud, but there’s quite a lot of people in it, all speaking Spanish. You go and find somewhere to sit, when, on your way, someone hails you.
“¡Hola! ¿Cómo te llamas? (Hello ! (...) ?)”
Your long-buried memories start churning, as you recognize the second sentence as meaning something like “What’s your name ?”. You think a while, and then, flash of brilliance.
“Me llamo Charlie.” You answer, giving out your name in the most American of accents.
Your conversation partner smiles, and speaks quite slowly to let you understand what he means.
“¿Cuántos años tiene?” You understand the sentence to mean ‘How old are you ?’ - Er… Soy… cuarenta y dos… años ?” You try, but he shakes his head. - No, ¡es ‘Tengo ventidós’ o ‘Tengo ventidós años’!”
You blush of embarrassment as he corrects you. Yes, you now remember that to mean “I am x years old” you say “Tengo x (años)”… you even remember the worksheets from way back when… Huh, it seems like it was less far of a memory than you thought.
“Lo siento…” You excuse yourself with sentence that came back strangely fast. - ¡Jajaja!” He laughs. “¡No te preocupes! ¡Hablar español es difícil! (Don’t worry ! Speaking Spanish is difficult !)”
You are surprised how easy it is to understand him. Visibly, you had more memories than you expected ! Then, that guy continues.
“¿De dónde es? (Where are you from ?) - Soy de… Mexico… Nuevo Mexico. (I’m from… Mexico… New Mexico.)”
You almost stumbled on yourself. There seems to be something wrong with that statement. You know you’re American, but something seems wrong…
“Ah, de... ¿Nuevo México? Pero tu acento no suena asi… (Ah, from… New Mexico ? But your accent doesn’t seem like it comes from there...) - Si, es verdad… (Yes, it’s true...)” You’re about to tell him that it’s because you’re American, but then you say : “La gente dice que tengo un acento de la Ciudad de Mexico. Sabes, Mexihco Hueyaltepetl. (People say that I have an accent from Mexico City. You know, Mexihco Hueyaltepetl (?).)”
Wait, why do people say that ? You never went to Mexico City ! Okay, yes, you did go there for the holidays, after all, your father lives there… Wait, your parents aren’t separated !
You get more and more confused as multiple versions of your history start competing with each other.
“¡Ah, tenía razón! Puedo verlo en tu cara que eres… eh… ¿mexiqueño? (Ah, I was right ! I can see by your face that you are… er… from Mexico City ?) - ¡Jajaja!” You laugh. “¡No se dice ‘mexiqueño’! ¡Se dice capitalino, o chilango si estás familiarizado! (You don’t say “Mexiqueño” ! You say “Capitalino”, or “Chilango” if you’re familiar !)” You don’t quite know where this knowledge comes from. It seems like something only locals would know… - Perdón, soy chileno, no lo sabía… (Sorry, I’m Chilean, I didn’t know...)”
You smile at him. Of course, he couldn’t know that, you’re familiar with these terms because you’re a Chilango through and through ! Born in the city, lived in the city ! Yet you furrow your brows, as something still feels off.
Somehow, you’re convinced that you’re American, even though it seems to be a more and more distant fact. Well, when you look down and see those tan arms, you know that you aren’t, like, a total gringo, you’re at least part Latino…
“¿Cómo es la vida allá? (How is life there ?)” The Chilean guy asks you, a torrent of memories coming back (?) to you. - ¡Es complicado de describir! Pero México es muy dinámico, ¡entonces siempre es interesante! (It’s difficult to describe ! But Mexico is very dynamic, so it’s always interesting !)” You think back to how frantic life is over there… and how much you love that. “Especialmente comparado con aquí, parece que esta citudad está muerta… ¡En México siempre hay un xochitzin con el que te puedes topar! (Especially when compared to here, this city seems dead… In Mexico, there’s always an xochitzin (?) you can run into !)”
As the Chilean nods, you keep getting quite confused. You know you’re from Mexico City, you know you’re American, yet somehow there is like… a piece of the puzzle missing. You keep on thinking strange words like “Mexihco Hueyaltepetl” or “ihni”, and you know it’s not Spanish, nor English – not that you would know too much of that language.
You continue thinking as your body starts feeling strange, as you feel it shifting. You put your hand on your forehead and sense your wrinkles relaxing. You feel quite queasy…
“¿Estás bien? (Are you alright ?) - Me siento un poco mareada… (I feel a bit dizzy…) - Sólo tienes que ir al baño. ¿Quieres que te ayude? (Just go to the toilets. You want me to help ?) - No, estará bien. Tlazohcamati. (No, it’s gonna be alright. (???)) - Okay… eh... ¿Eres indígenas? (Okay… er… Are you a Native American ?)”
You don’t answer the Chilean, only giving him a small wave to thank him. You find your way to the toilets, still queasy, and look at yourself.
Tumblr media
You’ve got your usual short black hair, your nascent beard that doesn’t want to come along, your brownish tint, as well as your light muscles. Nothing looks out of place, yet something seems wrong.
Is it the fact that you are so youthful ? You know you’re quite twinky. Is it the fact that your skin looks weird ? You know that it’s clearer than the other’s because your mother is gringo.
You feel even more queasy, as you feel your entire body tensing. Memories come back of your time in the gym, but also of the time with all your xochitzmeh (bros)… Yes, you now remember how you’re the son of an American linguist and a Nahua man. How you grew up speaking Nahuatl along with the other kids from around Mexico City. How you started going to the gym to prove that gays aren’t cuiltemeh (sissies/fags). How you now cringe to that line of thought, yet continue doing it to attract guys.
As the pieces of your life go back together, your queasiness dissipates, and you feel better. You drink a bit of water, and then you go back to the hangout room. As you go in there, the Chilean hails you once again.
“¡Charlie! ¿Esta mejor? (Charlie ! Doing better ?)”
Laughable, “Charlie” is only the nickname your grandparents use when you’re at their house… Why does that guy even know it ?
“¡Mi nombre no es Charlie, es Carlos! ¡Carlos Zopiyactle! (My name isn’t Charlie, it’s Carlos ! Carlos Zopiyactle !)” You say in a very matter-of-fact fashion. - Lo siento, pensé que te llamabas Charlie… (Sorry, I thought that you were named Charlie...) - No es nada. (It’s nothing.)” You answer with a very Mexican accent, aspirating your ‘s’. “Pero, tengo que irme ahora. ¡Adiós! (However, I need to go now. Goodbye !) - ¡Adiós, Carlos! (Goodbye, Carlos !)”
You leave the room, go past the receptionist who smiles at you a bit weirdly, and make your way back to your grandparent’s home. You don’t really like going there, because you’re not very good in English, but eh. Pleasing your mom is a good enough reason.
Suddenly, you hear a very familiar-sounding sound from your phone. You open it, seeing a notification, smile, and answer it before calling your mother.
“¡Cualli teotlaltzintli! ¡Amo niyaz tlacualpan! (Good evening ! I’m not going to be there for dinner !) - Pff… ¡Aic timotlamahzehua nanmonahuac! (Pff… You never come eat with us !) - Nomati, pero tengo cosas que hacer. (I know, but I have things to do.)” You say, switching back a bit to Spanish. - ¿Zannima tihual mocuepaz? (You will come back soon ?) - Quema. Nantli, nimitz nequi. (Yes. Mom, I love you.) - Ohuihqui nimitz nequi. (I love you too.)”
You finish the call and smile. She doesn’t have to know that you’re missing the family dinners to be pounded. Those jocks on Grindr don’t know what your pseudonym “Moiztactlaca” means, but it sounds foreign, and they love it.
Soon, you’re going back home to Mexico City, but it doesn’t mean that you can’t take advantage of all the hot guys here in the meantime !

obsessed — john price ft. 141
kinktober day 1: public sex (w/ ale, rudy, gaz, soap + ghost)
posting this prematurely because someone brought me cod vault and i need to suck them off
tags: public sex (exhibition, shocker), orgasm denial, light panty stuff, creampie, claiming, all that good good, light homoeroticism, gaz is a funny guy idc, accidental soap bashing rofl
“This is what happens when you eye up my girl.” He started, speaking sternly, his hand wrapped possessively around my waist as I wore the most revealing outfit I owned at his command; he grabbed one hand and spun me around with a soft grin on his face, dancing me around as a ‘humble’ brag.
The soldiers surrounding him seemed uneasy by the unknown. They were afraid of their ‘punishment’, most of them quickly averted their eyes from the outfit that left not a lot to the imagination.
I took my seat on the coffee table in his quarters. The lads were conned into coming over for something considerably less crude, something or other to do with catching up and drinks, implied by the glasses of whiskey with melting ice and the calmness increasingly leaving the atmosphere. The Captain took a slow stroke of my hair, his hand cupping my cheek and angling my face to look up at him. The men sat there uncomfortably, knowing that they’d be unable to leave until they were officially dismissed.
“She’s just so gorgeous, ain’t she?” He hummed.
The room was filled with a dreaded silence, and they all hesitated to respond, exchanging glances in an attempt to figure out what the correct answer was.
“I asked something.” He snapped. “Come on, haven’t got all fuckin’ day.”
“Yes.” Simon responded with a nod, gesturing to the others with command on what he felt was the right way to go about this tricky situation. “She is gorgeous.”
“Yeah, what he said.” They began to agree in unison, hoping that the Ghost would guide them out of this since it was like walking through a minefield, though some would agree that a minefield would be less stressful.
Price furrowed his eyebrows, circling around the coffee table like a hawk, attempting to intimidate the men. “How gorgeous?” He spoke to the Sergeants, avoiding Simon’s gaze as he attempted to weasel the group out of Price’s game. He knew that Simon was figuring it out quickly, almost too quickly.
Simon and Mactavish, who seemingly shared a glance, attempting to connect dots. Soap silently spoke to his Lieutenant, airing his suspicions, and Simon responded with a ‘down, boy’ as they both realised what was actually happening, Soap deduced it quickly, and the other was afraid to be incorrect in his assumptions, not airing it aloud until it was certain, though their mutual conclusion made them both more confident in their chances of being correct.
Alejandro and Rodolfo shared a knowing glance also, lowering their voices and dipping their heads as they had their own private discussion. “¿Estás bromeando? ¿Qué decimos?”, “No lo sé, hace cosas raras.” They quickly spoke as the others shrunk under Price’s gaze, his back to them as he paid little attention to their conversation. “Tal vez deberíamos habernos quedado en México.” They mutually agreed.
“Most gorgeous I’ve ever seen.” Soap spoke up, using his Lieutenants guidance. Mactavish knew that if his Lieutenant thought it was the right thing to do, especially when it comes to Price, it most likely was.
“Maybe too gorgeous..” Kyle snickered to himself with implication, trying to relieve the tension in the air. Everyone was afraid of whatever the Captain was planning — and Kyle was the only one willing to test him despite his respect for him. He was, for the most part, in the know but he hadn’t put it together the same way that Riley and Mactavish did.
Captain Price and Kyle shared a knowing look, and John knew that he’d been figured out by enough of them that he could push forward.
“Baby..” He cooed, turning me to face him again, grabbing my face harshly and making me look at Kyle, his other hand drifted down to the bottom of the skimpy shirt, lifting it up slowly, letting it bunch up above my chest. “Show them your pretty tits.” 
His hands palmed at the lace bra, a smug look plastered on his face as the other men were unsure how to respond. Their faces flushed with nervousness, unsure if they should be watching or not, though as the scene progressed, they were more comfortable in their shamelessness. 
“Lo retiro. Me gusta aquí en Estados Unidos.” 
“Hold up your skirt for me.” John spoke again, I followed his instructions and he spread my legs. He turned his head to face the other men. “Any of you lads wanna see how wet her cunt is?”
Kyle tries to stand up from his seat, his intentions not entirely clear, though Rudy and Alejandro grab him and pull him back down quickly, not patient enough to deal with his practical jokes and firmly held him in place. Price knew Simon wouldn’t volunteer on his own, so he raised his eyebrow at Mactavish. He squinted back, and John gave a slight smirk. He manhandled me, swerving my body around so my spread legs faced the iconic duo, though the small couch meant they all got the perfect view
Their eyes were glued at the wet patch forming on the white panties.
“Mierda.” Alejandro choked out. “Joder, Rudy—”
“Justo contigo.”
Simon was entranced, but was the only one able to drag his eyes away from the view, even if only momentarily. “Captain..” He started. “Could I ask.. What’s the damn point of this?”
“The point?” He questioned, positioning himself on the table behind me, letting the boys get an amicable view of the woman he was graciously claiming in front of their eyes. His hands continued to palm at my bra, he was greedy with want, ‘subtly’ displaying his intent.
“What’re you trying to get at?”
He smirked, one of his hands falling down and rubbing at the wetness. “Like you can’t figure that out?” He shrugged, slipping his fingers under the waistband and sliding in with ease. “You must think I’m stupid, I know how you all act, you want ‘er for yourselves.”
His words were met with awkward silence which worked as an admission of guilt. He had a smug grin, knowing he’d caught them red handed, and they processed what this truly meant. My face flushed red, turning my head to the side and biting my lip as the eyes on my body doubled in size, even Simon was getting some form of enjoyment out of it. It was arousing, yet I couldn’t help but attempt to restrain myself.
“Why so shy, baby girl?”
“Mhm, they’re watching.” I mumbled back, trying to avoid eye contact with any of the men despite the temptation.
“That’s the point.” He whispered, leaning in to press a kiss into my neck, letting his beard scratch at my nape. He began moving his hands more graciously, speaking sweetly and planning deviously. “C’mon, moan for me, princess. Put on a show.”
“Ah, fuck, John—” I moaned out.
“That’s cruel.” Mactavish commented with a grim expression.
“Keep goin’, princess.” He laughed softly, making me squirm under his fingers. “Want me to take your panties off? Show ‘em how your cunt clenches around my fingers?”
“Por favor.” Alejandro and Rodolfo pleaded in mutual agreeance once again. “Por favor buena coño. muéstranos?”
“You’re sick, Price.” Simon spoke, though his eyes didn’t leave the conjoinance. John, the other one, simply frowned, knowing he had to hear the sweet sounds of his name being moaned, and yet it’s not even for him. Both duos simply held their breaths, trying to keep their cool, the other man was unreadable, letting the lust behind his eyes be the only emotion he displayed, he respected Price, but there’s only so much strength a man could hold.
“You’re sick.” John spoke firmly. “Thinkin’ about my girl like this, just givin’ you what you want.” He spat. “Watching you’s get hard in y’fuckin’ pants at the sight.”
“Like it’s our fault?” Mactavish spat back.
“John—”
“Like that!” He growled. “You think I’m not meant to find that fuckin’ sexy?”
“Oi, settle.” Simon interrupted with a demanding bark.
Price furrowed his eyebrows, retracting his fingers and smearing the slickness onto my thigh, letting it glimmer under the dim light. He lifted my hips enough for him to slide the panties off, tossing them at the jealous Sergeant.
“He’s right, you know?” Kyle spoke up, knowing better than to get aggressive when he’s being treated to such a view, but he had to agree with him. His eyes flicked into the panties that Soap held in his hand.
He let out a smug huff of amusement, lifting my hips enough so I was kneeled on the table. The group of men heard the sound of a zipper, and a collective group of inward, jealous groans became audible very quickly.
“Dios mio—”
“Fuckin’ hell, Price.”
They kept their mouths shut beyond that, watching as he tugged at his pants. He stroked his cock liberally, pressing a kiss into the neck. “They act like this is cruel, yet they’re still watchin’, baby, they wanna see how I fuck you.” He hummed.
“You’re— Shit, John, I—”
“That’s my girl.” He cursed, lining himself up as he pushed himself into the slickness, grinning at the way the men’s eyes watched on in awe, inward groans at the way I swallowed him whole.
Their pants were tented, and through fuzzy thoughts and half-lidded eyes, it was clear to tell that they were fighting the urge to get themselves off, but they knew Price wouldn’t let them live another day if they did.
“John. Move, please, need—”
He hummed, grabbing onto my hips and moving me against him. “Of course, princess.” He leant his head on my shoulder, his eyes darting around the other men. “You like my cock?”
“Mhm, yeah.”
“Let them know who this pussy belongs to, princess.”
“Yours.” I praised, whining and closing my eyes. “Right there.”
“Louder.”
“John, yours”
“Louder.” He spoke sternly, his hand dipping to rub sweet circles. “Come on, say it louder.”
“It’s yours, John!” I cried out, 
“I’m fuckin’ keeping these.” Mactavish mumbled with a sour tone, glancing over at Simon and the other men as he stuffed the panties into his pocket. He leaned back, trying to get comfortable as the view tormented his eyes. 
“A few minutes ago you were all for it, what changed, Johnny?”
“You know what, you fuckin’ bastard.” He spoke coldly. “Ale is fuckin’ droolin’, Rudy’s eyes are the size of his fuckin’ head and Gaz is.. Gaz, yet you’re tormenting me?”
“I don’t see you actin’ as well trained as Simon.” He joked. “How is it, princess? Feel you clenchin’, you like them watchin’? Bickering over you?”
“Mhm, yeah, it’s— Yeah!” I nodded enthusiastically as he continued the actions on my clit. He pressed a soft kiss behind my ear, pulling my bra down enough for my breasts to pop out from the fabric. “Ah, fuck, John—”
“Baby, don’t you think he deserves a break from your teasing?”
“Sorry, ‘m sorry, John, ‘m just so close.” I whined.
“Already?” He hummed. “You just like putting on a show? They’re desperate for you.”
“Yes, yes, fuck, yeah, love putting on a show.”
“God, look how wet she is.” Rudy finally spoke up after his long silence. “Fuckin’ creaming on his dick.”
His grip on my hips pushed forward, making me bend over slightly as he kept thrusting into me, hitting the right spot, relishing in the squelching noise that filled the room as the stickiness covered the thighs of his cargo pants. “God, close.”
“I know.” He purred, his hand glued to my clit. “Simon, you’ve been quiet.”
He gritted his teeth. “I know just as well as you, this is a punishment.” He hissed. “I’m not dumb enough to indulge in how bad I want her. You’re claiming her.”
“Smart lad.”
“And she’s liking it.” One of the men pointed out, they were all painfully jealous (and painfully erect at the sight), but they knew this is what happens when Price owns something; this is what they get for wanting to touch his girl in a way that only he should be able to.
I whined, clutching onto his arms. “John— I’m gonna—”
“You’re gonna?” He slowed his movements, keeping it methodical enough, careful to not let me spill over the edge. 
“Gonna cum, gonna—”
“Ask nicely, baby, too busy being all cockdrunk for me that you forgot how this works.”
“Please, baby, let me cum, I wanna cum so bad.” I choked out a cry as I tried to push back on him, needing the extra friction.
“Don’t ask me.” He cooed. “Ask them.”
I sobbed around his cock. “Please, please, let me cum.” I struggled to keep my eyes open enough to look at them.
“They have names.”
“Mhm!” I choked out. “Who?”
“Go down the line.” He breathed, beginning to chase his own orgasm more selfishly, it still wasn’t enough pressure for me to unravel, but his harsh thrusts didn’t help the fuzzy, cloudy feeling. 
“Ale— Fuck, please, please.” I threw my head back. “Alejandro, please.”
He let out a low groan with a weak nod. “I need to watch you. I.. Cum, gorgeous, you can cum.” He swallowed thickly, cutting himself shortly from becoming a rambling mess, taking Rileys words into consideration as he spoke.
“Rudy?” I cried out, my mind all fuzzy. 
Rodolfo glanced at Price, his mind lingering on what the Ghost said, just like Alejandro and just like the others. “You can, Princesa.” He spoke, attempting to stay calm enough where he didn’t rile himself up while using their Captains pet name for me in a condescending way, trying to reclaim what little power he could.
“You gotta use your words.” Price spoke up. “You can do that, can’t you?”
“Fuck, Gaz—”
“It’s Kyle.” He interrupted with a shit-eating grin.
“Please, Kyle, I.. mhm, say..”
“Can barely get your words out, doll.”
“Please!” I snapped, jerking upwards, pushing myself back on Price harshly, seeing white and feeling a sob rise from my throat at the desperation. “Say it, please!”
“Say that you can cum? That I allow you to?” I nodded frantically, and he bit his lip. “God, he really is claiming her. Such a good fucking girl, go on, doll, I’ll let you cum, you got my vote.” He teased relentlessly.
“Thank you! Thank you! Need.. Johnny—”
“Not him.” Price interrupted. John huffed in annoyance, crossing his arms but biting his tongue, restraining the urge to snap at his Captain.
“Mhm.. Simon?”
“You’re up to Simon, yes.” He mocked lightly as a gentle reminder to use my words.
“Simon? Please? You’re all I need, please.”
He glared up at Price. “How bad do you want it?”
“So fuckin’ bad, Simon, please, I can’t...”
He sighed. “Yeah, you can cum.” He spoke, careful to not overstep with the Captain like the others were.
“You heard them, baby.” John cooed again. “Make a sweet mess for me. You’re trembling, princess, you’re right there for me.”
“Just a bit more, please, more!” I begged, letting it wash over me when he added slightly more pressure to my clit, working me right back up to the edge. “Oh, shit, John, ah—” I sobbed, throwing my head back onto his shoulder. 
He mouthed at my shoulder, leaving lazy kisses. “Oh, fuck.” He choked. “Milkin’ m’cock, so sweet.” His eyes were half-lidded as he felt his orgasm impend closer, though he made a point to bask in the look on their faces.
I tensed up, spasming around him. “So good, so good.” I nodded helplessly, eyes clenched shut, momentarily forgetting that people were watching us. “John, baby—”
After the comedown, I slumped forward, going limp in his arms. His quick reaction time was beyond useful as he reached forward to grab me, supporting my weight in his strong arms. “God, ‘m gonna cum, princess. Want it inside?” He spoke smugly, eyeing up the others.
“Yes, yes!” I panted
“Even in front of the lads?”
“Yes, want it inside. Please, John!”
He thrusted harshly a few last times. “I’m right there, baby.” He praised, briefly ignoring the other men so he could feel the warmth around him, to let his orgasm wash over him without the worry of the prying eyes that were trying to memorise and suck in every detail of what was happening in front of them. “Keep sayin’ my name.”
“John, please, need it, c’mon, John, ’m your good girl, need you—”
His breathing picked up pace. “That’s it, that’s it. Take it, princess, that’s it.” He groaned, thrusting a few more times before his pace faltered, spilling his cum inside of me with breathy moans. “That’s my girl, my girl.”
His smug grin returned to his face as he caught his breath, he pressed another kiss on my neck, pulling out and tucking his dick away as he held me in place firmly against him, his embrace was evidently possessive.
“Johnny..” I sighed, leaning into him and closing my thighs tightly, clenching myself in an attempt to keep him inside me.
“Mhm, I got you.” He hummed, fixing my bra and pulling my shirt down to cover my chest again.
“You’re a dick, Cap.” Mactavish finally commented, furrowing his eyebrows. “Gaz was wankin’ to you’s.” He snitched, crossing his arms, frustrated.
“No I wasn’t, fuckin’ snitch.” Kyle snapped back, pulling his hand away from his pants, granted, he wasn’t ‘wanking’, but he was palming himself so points for being close enough, he sat back annoyed and crossed his arms.
Simon stood up. “We’re done here.” He spoke. “They’re done, we’re leaving.” He spoke, announcing to the other soldiers that were overstaying their welcome. “Talking to you, Sergeants.” 
“You’re dismissed.” John approved, picking me up and getting ready to take care of his girl.
They all stood up quickly, preparing to escort themselves out as fast as they could, though having to walk slowly in the small quarters. They attempted to avoid eye contact, letting the previous situation linger in the air.
Simon took the lead, getting off the wide couch first. “Let’s go.” He called out, with Mactavish already following behind obediently. “No fighting or else.” He warned.
Alejandro and Rudolfo stood up and shared another glance with another conversation they kept to themselves as they left just as fast eagerly. “Eso fue...algo más...”, “¡lo sé!”,
“¿Crees que volverá a suceder?”
“Si tenemos suerte..” He spoke with a nervous laugh.

Parte 1:
Punta Orgullo, Nuevo Paraíso, México 1894
El amor, como una rosa, tiene espinas.
That’s what you always said— love, like a rose, has thorns.
Until you met him. Javier. The name alone could make your head spin.
You met him under the stars, amidst the sound of joyous music. You had snuck off into the night, hoping to catch a glimpse of normalcy.
Far away from the agave fields and into the deep night, you found life. Your very own treasure awaited just down the hill from your home, at the heart of Punta Orgullo — a small pueblo by the name of Escalera.
You kept your head down and veiled by a long mantilla. The music filled the small plaza, and you marveled at the resilience of a community that could face so much hardship in the day, but still find moments of joy in the night.
With your back against a wall, you watched the people dance. That’s when he approached you.
His eyes were knowing. He wore a well-maintained baby blue charro suit with golden accents that reminded you of the clear sky on a sunny day. His hair, though mostly concealed by his matching sombrero, peeked through, framing his elegant features and neatly tied in a small ponytail.
"Excuse me," he said, a hand resting on his belt and the other holding a lit cigarette. He put it out with a flick, letting it fall to the ground before snuffing it out under his boot as he drew nearer. Removing his sombrero, he held it to his chest and gave a short bow as a sign of respect before continuing, "I noticed you from across the plaza. I haven’t seen you here before."
“Ah, yes.” You kept your head down, your mantilla shining brightly under the pale moonlight, “This is my first time in the plaza,” you admitted softly.
“Well,” He began, a gentle smile forming on his lips, “would you care for a dance?”
You looked at him with contemplation. The faint scars on his face told stories; a man with a history. His eyes held truth, but more importantly virtue. Would he be asking if he knew you were General Velasco’s wife? The trophy wife of a powerful man so disgustingly corrupt that the mere thought of it sent a stabbing pang through your stomach.
Noticing you were stuck in thought, Javier bent over, using his sombrero to pretend to sweep the sandy floor at your feet. A playful glint danced in his eyes as he then extended his hand in invitation, “One dance. Just one.”
You couldn’t hold back from smiling sincerely at his charming gesture. Unsure of what was to come, you took a leap of faith and accepted. With your hand placed delicately in his, he led you to the swirling crowd of dancing bodies at the center of the plaza.
As you danced slowly, he whispered sweet lyrics of the boleros into your ear. He held you close and tenderly. The two of you danced as if you had known each other forever. In his arms you felt alive.
When the night drew to a close, Javier, in his ever so gentlemanly fashion, insisted he walk you home. His persistence was admirable, but it was then, under the blanket of stars, that you confessed you didn’t reside at the lower levels of the small pueblo. Rather, you lived in the grand villa at the top of the hill, surrounded by other haciendas where only the grossly powerful and corrupt resided.
You feared he might feel betrayed, but he looked at you silently and thoughtfully before gently taking your hand and walking you home anyway. You told him everything about your arranged, loveless marriage. He told you about his mother, sister, and even about his life as a bounty hunter. Under the night sky your fingers remained interlocked as you snuck up the trail to your home.
He helped lift you atop the white stone wall that surrounded the villa. As you sat on the wall looking down at him, he removed his sombrero once more, this time taking out a singular red rose.
“This is for you.” He whispered, extending the rose up to you. You took it delicately, the rose was unarmed, as if he carefully snipped each thorn off one by one.
Just like his love for you from that point on, sin espinas.
You saw him twice a month after that. As ironic as it was, you’d pray just to find a chance to sneak off from your home and find him. You found solace in his presence.
It had been months since that fateful day, yet here you were, still in the confines of the villa.
In the courtyard you continued to tend to the plants, using the large clay pitcher to carefully water the greenery as you overheard your husband— General Alejandro Velasco’s — conversation. He was standing beside the large center courtyard fountain with whom you recognized to be Capitán González.
They ignored you, but you preferred it that way, it gave you the opportunity to listen in.
"Then find them, drag them out there and make them work. They don’t get to make demands." Velasco's voice was filled with fire. He had been growing more and more frustrated with the lack of complete obedience from the people of Punta Orgullo.
"They need to feel our presence. I want patrols doubled in the village. No one walks alone. Any whispers of revolt must be silenced immediately.” He demanded.
Your breathing hitched with his words, but you remained composed. As demands for fair wages and better treatment among the workers and general public intensified, military presence in all of Punta Orgullo had only grown heavier. As word of revolution began, Velasco’s iron fist seemed to grow heavier as he tried to ‘maintain order’ as he put it.
“I can have Cabo Diego and a few others find out who’s starting these whispers.” González replied dutifully.
“Yes. Find them.” Velasco approved, “It’ll be an example for the rest.”
González nodded firmly before turning to depart the gate of the villa and head out into Escalera.
Velasco turned to you, knowing you had been listening in, and cleared his throat to get your attention, “I know what you’re thinking.”
“What am I thinking?” You prompted casually not taking your eyes off the foliage before you.
He sighed heavily, the medals on his suit jingled lightly as he stepped closer, “Look, they’re going to get more aggressive. These are not people we can have conversations with. Rebellion is a disease. I have to put an end to it early.” He placed an arm on your shoulder, willing you to understand. You looked back at him with contempt before subtly shrugging off his touch.
“I’m going to tend to the horses,” was your terse reply before you turned and walked towards the main headquarters of your home. Velasco made no move to follow; this conversation had become all too familiar.
You changed your dress into one more suitable to blend in with the outside world and draped your long mantilla over your head before heading out towards the stables. As you arrived you scanned the area, ensuring no one would be the wiser as you took a detour towards pueblo.
Entering the lower levels of Escalera, you kept your gaze low, luckily the soldiers seemed preoccupied with other matters. Down the white, sandy road you could see two men being grabbed by soldiers and thrown onto the ground. They wore the garments of those who worked in the agave fields, but typically they would be working until the sunset.
Maneuvering expertly through the alleys, you made your way to the pulga.
The pulga was unique in that it was almost a sanctuary free from military surveillance. The gatherings in the plaza that were once joyous events free from soldiers, were rare now that the military had begun to focus on “maintaining order” as they called it. However, they never bothered to stop the pulga as it was the means for a lot of people to live.
The instant aroma of baked bread and leather goods hit you as you entered. Colorful textiles hung from the different vendor stalls. Bodies brushed past each other as people walked around the market with the intent to buy, sell, or trade. This afternoon the pulga seemed unusually crowded, as it was just buzzing with activity.
You heard his smoky laugh before you even saw him. It was a sound you’d come to recognize anywhere. With his back turned all you could see was his guitar strapped to his back and his sombrero hanging low on his head. He stood in front of Doña Lupe’s stall, where she sold handmade jewelry as well as any other miscellaneous items she could get her hands on.
You approached the stall, the older woman greeted you first. Doña Lupe was one of the few people that knew about the whole ‘married to the general’ situation, but Javier trusted her and that was enough for you to trust her too. She was a kind older woman; she couldn’t do much physical labor anymore, so the pulga was her means of getting by.
As Javier heard the woman’s sweet greeting towards you, he turned with a beaming smile, “Hey! You’re here.” He took your hand and pressed his lips gently to its top, kissing your skin dearly and making everything else in the world seem to fade away with his touch.
“I just saw you last week, didn’t think I’d see you again this soon,” His slanted smile reappeared as he returned his cigarette to hang from his lips, “Not that I’m complaining.” He added with a playful wink.
“I needed to get away.” You admitted. His smile faltered and his eyebrows filled with concern for half a second before Doña Lupe interrupted.
“Well, we are glad to have you,” She smiled, her eyes shifted towards Javier. “Javier was just getting something detailed.”
Javier cleared his throat, “Ah yes. Well, after pleading with the workers all morning, I had some free time.” Javier chuckled at your puzzled look as you wondered if that had anything to do with the amount of people at the pulga today.
“I finally convinced them. None of the jimadores are working until they get the fair wages they deserve.” He explained, you nodded in understanding, though a pang of worry stirred within you as you remembered the conversation you overheard this morning.
“I heard them today,” You began in a hushed tone, “Said they’re going to double the patrols… They want to find the people organizing the revolts and make an example of them.”
Doña Lupe gasped and quickly looked at Javier with concern. His eyebrows raised at your words, then he clicked his tongue with displeasure.
“We’ll all be okay.” He reassured the both of you. “Nothing to worry about. They already gathered some people who were still in their work clothes, if one of them talked we’d know by now.”
You nodded in understanding, hoping he was right. It was no secret that Javier was one of the people spearheading what Velasco would call rebellious acts and revolution-driven conversations. Many respected him for it, many expressed their gratitude for his courage, but you couldn’t help but worry for his safety.
“We should leave,” You suggested, “We can go by the river.”
His gaze met yours before happily agreeing, which you were grateful for as you didn’t want to stay here and wait for him to get caught. The two of you gave Doña Lupe an earnest goodbye before moving to the other stalls to buy bread, then heading North towards the river.
You had to move quickly and quietly to leave the pueblo. Javier took the lead, holding your hand and leading you down the labyrinth of white alleys to avoid patrolling soldiers.
“Aguas!” He whispered urgently, “Hold on.”
He halted, pressing against you firmly to have your back against a wall and both his hands braced on either side of you. You could feel the warmth of his body as he peered around the corner of the building cautiously.
“Is someone there?” You asked, your voice barely more than a whisper.
“No,” he replied with a playful grin, turning his attention back to you, “I just realized I hadn’t done this yet.”
He brought a hand down to gently cup your face. He leaned in, pressing his lips softly against yours. You melted into the kiss, having missed the sensation since the last time you saw him. You both stood there against the building, lips passionately connected. Your smile grew against his lips, wishing to cherish every moment with him. He let out a happy sigh as he pulled back, taking your hand to continue leaving the area.
The San Luis River was desolate and surprisingly calming. It was like a mirror of stillness, reminding you of all the times Javier and you sought moments of peace here. The gravel crunched beneath your feet as the two of you stepped closer, finding a spot to sit in the sun along the cool water.
You removed your mantilla, glad you didn’t need to hide now that you were away from the village. You sat shoulder to shoulder, your head rested against his shoulder as you stared out into the flowing river. Javier didn’t bother looking at the water as his eyes were solely focused on you.
“So,” He began, breaking the comfortable silence, “about earlier — you said you had to get away, what’d he do this time?” Javier asked, ripping a piece of bread to hand to you before popping a piece in his own mouth.
You took the bread from his hand, fiddling with it as your gaze averted to the gravel beside you, “It’s just what I told you before.”
He hummed and nodded in understanding, thinking quietly before continuing, “I’ll be fine.”
Your heart tensed with a wave of melancholy, his words sounding like he was trying to convince himself as much as he was trying to convince you.
Your sorrowful gaze met his, and he chuckled quietly, “Mi dama perfecta, mi diosa,” He murmured between the kisses he was planting around your cheek, “Preciosa, you have nothing to worry about.”
A warm smile crept across your face at his affectionate words. Despite your lingering doubts, you chose to let the matter rest. “I was thinking about you earlier,” you said softly, “about how we met.”
Javier began to laugh heartily, “Qué buena suerte that I changed to that suit last minute, no? I almost showed up in this.” He gestured to his very worn, black pants and brown blazer, making you laugh along with him.
“I always think of you,” He winked as he kissed the top of your hand once more, “Sueño de tu belleza.”
You smiled, leaning your head against his shoulder again before looking out into the water with a contented sigh. You felt true joy in these stolen moments with Javier. Away from the relentless demands and pressure from your daily life.
“To think, there’s a whole other country out there, just across that river.” Javier gestured his head to the land on the other side of the San Luis River. You could see the red rocks and cacti of New Austin shimmering on the horizon.
“We could go,” You muttered barely audibly. Part of you knew it would be impossible, but the other part of you wished it to be true. A sense of longing swelled in your heart. If only it were that easy to leave. Your stomach began to sink. His silence was deafening.
Javier shifted beside you and gulped lightly before letting out a short chuckle, “I– um… I have a lot of work to do here,” was all he could muster to say.
You glanced at him, and he to you. You caught each other’s gaze for only a split second before he turned back to the water, picking up a stone and chucking it into the river. But in that split second you saw the weight of duty in his eyes. You understood. He had a responsibility, he felt, to the people of Punta Orgullo. He had purpose and a place here, and most importantly he was a man of virtue. It was one of the things you appreciated most about him— his commitment to his community— but when you looked out into the horizon, you couldn’t help but feel a longing for a life with just the two of you.
You continued to sit beside each other in a comfortable silence, both seemingly thinking of what could be.
Javier shifted to bring his guitar in front of him before beginning to quietly strum. Your eyes were fixated on the glowing horizon. You wondered what life could be across that water as he hummed along to the boleros he played, muttering a few words here and there.
A few minutes passed and as the sun began to kiss the horizon you knew you should be heading home. Though Velasco was never one to question your whereabouts, considering he would often disappear into the guest chambers with strangers, you felt a nagging responsibility to be there for when he decided to eventually call it a night in your shared bed.
You walked back carefully together, keeping any conversations lighthearted as if to avoid the weight of the conversation from earlier. On the way back you both decided to stop by Javier’s shared home to drop off the extra bread you bought them from the market.
His home was rather humble; a small building made of white stone. Though it appeared only a quarter the size of the villa you called home, the inside radiated a warmth far surpassing anything your own home could offer.
As you stepped inside you were immediately greeted by the voices of his family members. His mother rose from her kneeling space in front of their altar to greet you warmly with a tight hug. She was a kind woman, Dolores. She spent most of her days in front of the altar, though you could never tell if she was praying for the present or for the past. You just know that every so often she’d mutter the name Emiliano, the name of Javier’s late father.
“You’re home,” she turned to Javier, giving a warm smile as he set his belongings near the door. “I was starting to think you’d gone off bounty hunting,” she joked, nodding toward you, clearly noting that he had chosen to spend the day with you.
Javier chuckled, greeting his mother with a kind hug before shaking his head, “Not today. I told you I had to speak with the jimadores this morning. I think the demands are going to work.” He finished with a hopeful tone.
His mother let out a stiff sigh, but Javier ignored her discontent, “Then I got distracted.” He smiled cheekily at you.
“Javier…” His mother replied, ignoring his cheeky comment, clearly concerned, “They beat multiple men today. You’re lucky no one was killed because of what you did.” You winced slightly at the words.
“Ya basta amá,” Javier replied, trying to deflect her concern.
“There were more soldiers walking around today than ever before.” She admitted, “I just don’t want things to get out of control.”
“They’re already out of control.” Javier replied tiredly, this conversation seemingly a common one between the pair.
You retreated into the kitchen, dropping off the bread at their table where his younger sister, Carmen, was seated.
“They came looking for him.” She stated nonchalantly, ripping off a piece of bread before popping it into her mouth, similar to the way Javier had done earlier.
You froze at her words, a cold shiver sneaking down your spine, “What?”
“One of the Cabos,” She explained, “Him and two soldiers knocked on our door looking for Javier. That’s why amá is mad. He’s lucky he wasn’t here.”
“Did they say what they wanted?” You asked, anxiety threading through your voice. Your mind had already begun to race with the unsettling possibilities: What if someone had spotted your excursion and informed Velasco? What if a worker had revealed that it was Javier who convinced them to halt work until fair wages were met? What would they do with him? Would they try him with treason?
“No,” Carmen shook her head, “They didn’t say.”
You nodded and turned on your heel back into the main room. Javier’s eyes darted towards you, knowingly. He had just been given the same news, albeit much harsher, from his mother.
Javier nervously ran a hand through his hair, “I think…” He hesitated, searching for the right words, “I think it’s nothing to worry about. It could be anything.”
Dolores gave a judgemental hum before retreating to the altar, murmuring a prayer.
You bit your lip nervously, “I think I should walk home. Alone.”
“No,” He shook his head immediately, “There’s more soldiers now.”
“I’ll be fine,” You reassured him. He gave in, knowing there was not much else he could do. He pulled you into a hug before planting a tender kiss against your forehead as he bid you goodbye.
Under the night’s shadow, you made your way sneakily through the rows of houses as you climbed up the hill, avoiding the staircases as they were more likely to be populated. You eventually lifted yourself over the white stone wall and into the villa with a small thump.
You dusted off your dress and took off your mantilla. To calm yourself you took deep breaths, making your way into the main headquarters. Nothing seemed particularly out of order. Matter of fact, everything seemed eerily normal. You grabbed a cup of water, trying to calm your nerves before heading into your shared room.
When you opened the door, you let out a sigh of relief seeing that Velasco hadn’t made his way there yet. You swiftly changed into your nightgown, readying for bed, hoping you could fall asleep before he arrived.
As fate would have it though, the door creaked open as you covered yourself with the blanket.
“Ah, here you are.” He announced as he entered, closing the door behind him. “I was looking for you earlier.”
You silently nodded, “We must’ve missed each other.” You lied easily, this wasn’t the first time you had to deceive him.
He entered the restroom to change into his night clothes and prepare for bed, still calling out to you. “Look, I know earlier you were… upset. I thought about it, talked it over with some of the other men and I think a conversation with the rebels might be beneficial.”
You were thankful he was in another room, as the look on your face was filled with confusion, this is not what you expected the conversation to be.
“Oh,” was all you could say, cautious of what he would say next.
“I had Cabo Diego find the men who are at the root of these discussions of revolt.” He continued, now re-entering the bedroom. You were holding yourself up with your arms to meet his gaze, hoping your eyes weren’t giving anything away.
“And?” You prompted.
“And I invited a few of them for dinner— well the ones I could find.” He shrugged, sliding himself into bed beside you. You shifted over, uncomfortable with his proximity, a feeling you had come to accept but could never fully reconcile with.
“There was one the men couldn’t find, but I will send him an invitation first thing in the morning. They must all be here for us to come to an agreement on where things are headed.” He explained matter-of-factly. Your stomach twisted, knowing exactly who they were looking for.
You nodded in understanding, slowly sliding your arms to lay yourself in bed properly, “Are you sure this is a good idea?”
He looked at you puzzled, “Of course. I thought you of all people would prefer it this way.” He blew out the candles beside your bed, turning himself over to sleep, “Well, it’s settled now; they'll be here tomorrow.”

What do Fiction Podcasts have to say about the future?
Whenever you write a story set years from now, how you construct the world around it creates a new way to see the future, a fictional image to a reality we could be headed towards.
Fiction podcasts love to play within the sci-fi genre, and the thousands of audio dramas they have given us new pictures of what our world could look like in the next century (or a few years closer).
In this article I want to analyze the settings in the following shows: Hello from the Hallowoods, Desperado and The Strange Case of Starship Iris.
Hello From the Hallowoods
Hello From the Hallowoods welcomes us to a world ravaged by black rains and capitalism’s greed. After a natural (but man-made) disaster involving acid rain and flooding the world’s successions gave birth to two different types of beings: those who prefer to dream in a company’s “Prime Dream” and those who stay awake to continue living.
Even though the world is post-apocalyptic on paper, it never feels like it. Rather it is enchanted, there are woods where gods, revenants, devils, giants and zombies fall in love with themselves and with each other, places where community is found.
This, I attribute this to the fact that most characters don’t lament a nebulous “end of the world”, since this is the world they have always been living in and they are going to make the best of it: find family, friends, lovers, build homes and destroy bigots.
You leave the world of Hello From the Hallowoods knowing that even a doomed world is worthy of being awake for.
Desperado Podcast
Desperado Podcast also takes us to a world that was looted, but this time mainly by religious colonialism. 
Neo-colionalism has made itself tangible through genocides and direct targeting to believers that worship other than the “Old man in the Sky”.  In its first episode a community in México which revere La Catrina (a goddess in the show inspired by a popular figure in mexican art) is wiped out by the crusaders. 
From there our protagonist Elio is the sole survivor of his people, however all is not lost as he teams up with Talia (the chosen of Baron Samedi) and Shinji (whom I believe is a death kami?).
Elio now literally carries the memories of his community as the vessel for her goddess. Likewise in Desperado, the magic of the characters is the legacy their ancestors gave them, and it is what keeps them alive in the violent world. 
Though if we are ever to worry that our protagonist could fall into its clutches, the structure of the world soothes our preoccupations. You see, it is the characters within the story that are narrating their own experiences to the audience so we know that after all the pain, they ended up safe.
What Desperado tells us about the future is that, even with the ongoing genocides, white-washing of our culture, and neo-colonialism in general we will end up victorious in the end, and that our history will be forever within our memory.
The Strange Case of Starship Iris
The Strange Case of Starship Iris, is the most sci-fi audio drama out of the bunch. It follows the crew of the Rumour, a smuggler's ship, as they try to uncover the dark secrets of the Federation and evade persecution.
As with the other two properties, the future is not an easy world, but our characters are making the most of it.
In a post-war galaxy, the crew of the Rumour is smuggling space-ship parts, medicine, and erotic magazines until they find a help alarm coming from the Starship Iris and rescue biologist Violet Liu. From there they are involved in a mystery which, if the truth comes to life, they could be charged with treason against the Intergalactic Republic. 
Throughout the two seasons of the podcast, Violet Liu and company heal together the scars that the war and its result: the Intergalactic Republic left them. They fight against the government not only through robberies, infiltration, and coordinated efforts with rebel groups but also by eating latkes, drinking, singing shanties, and getting gay jewish married.
To conclude
if queer podcasts are telling us something about the future, it is that it may be equally messed up as the present but that queer, disabled people of color will exist beyond the end of the world and that even in the bleakest of futures we will continue to love and thrive.

thoughts on natlan's arc in genshin🌋
tldr: i'm pissed off!! watch me rant about storytelling under cut. please take your storytelling seriously and with love, jesus christ
this is long btw! this is what happens when you piss me off with your poor writing choices! i crave blood!
--
these are thoughts i wrote on my private twitter but i'll put them here too, why not.
i really, really don't like being negative towards anything anymore, chosing to embrace the silliness of poor storytelling and just grab what i do love, but man did the final act for natlan piss me off
I've been waiting for Natlan since the game came out because we knew it was going to be inspired by pre-hispanic America. Aztecs. México. (i'm mexican for context) and it was!!! with the inclusion of Maori, Peruvian, Lakota, Hawaiian and Yoruba. and it was done Horribly
Natlan is still mostly inspired by México though, I made a whole video on genshin's mexican rep, when it comes to overworld, food, names, music and lore inspiration yeah, the Mexican rep is done well and very fun! but it's still mixed with the cultures previously mentioned which is bad!!
and it gets WORSE because you look at the characters, be it playable or NPCs and nothing about them is mexican (or any of the previous cultures) nothing at all, and that's when the issues start.
I literally made a tumblr post a few days ago how I didn't think Natlan's story was bad, we just didn't connect with the characters due to character design. And while it still holds truth, this final act just undoes all the build-up it had in the previous acts, leaving no true conclusion and, therefore, ruining the story as a whole. a lá game of thrones.
Natlan in its first 3 acts was actually really well done, presenting the different tribe cultures, character personalities and how they mix with one another, and they had very strong set up for more world building and Very Important Lore Reveals (the Abyss having a "heart", dragons, THE SHADES, FALSE SKY?) I really enjoyed myself playing the first acts!
But the marketing makes you distance yourself from the characters, devs decided to push back the culture of the tribes in game and delay the next acts of the story, and you disconnect!!!
going back to the first acts and it's wonderful set up, then what is the point of having all this beautiful set up, only to just - not explore it in the CLIMAX OF THE ARC. and it was very very important lore and conversations to move the story forward and raise the stakes!!!
and they ignored it or barely mention it!!! yes having all the answers shown at you is not fun, and they can totally explore these aspects of the lore later on, but by the way Natlan was written from the start it was 10000% expected to have those conversations in THIS arc.
there's also the set up that's been there since the games release. None of this is explored, we don't know who "he" is, who's the crossed out name, what was the secret of the god of war. there's nothing, this is never explored.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
NOTE: that it is true the story was revisited or straight up rewritten way after this material was released, it is something that can happen during production, it partially happened with sumeru already. the thing is when you make changes like these, if you already established in previous trailers or manga certain lore, you have to be extremely careful, as the audience is already expecting something like this to happen in the story. when you rewrite this and there's no pay off it causes confusion and frustration among the audience, as you are no longer following what you set up and it creates plot holes a throw away line about the muratans or murata would've done to connect the manga with the current natlan, but there's not even that.
They establish very important new characters, but don't explain their true role in the story beyond "evil" . What is Gosoythoth? why can it become a dragon? why are there voices around it? why are the former archons so negative? . Sure, we as an audience can make headcanons about it (and some answers were partially told, not nearly enough though) but it's information that needs to be talked about in the story, but the characters never question this and it's never explored.
and we KNOW they can write compelling characters and stories because Fontaine is right there!! it explores very important lore and intertwines it perfectly with the cast and their own personal struggles, what the fuck happened in Natlan.
it just pisses me off and makes me very sad, I was excited for natlan for many years because, for better or for worse, that's my culture they're taking to tell this story, and seeing them fuck up both frustrates me.
i'll keep playing because i still want to see how they wrap it up but aaaaa, i haven't been this mad since Inazuma, and i dont think Inazuma pissed me off this bad.
the following is things that bothered me personally and not something i can criticize from a storytelling standpoint:
the entire traveler parade after beating gosoythoth made me uncomfortable to no end. really really giving white saviour. it draaaged and everyone was kissing their feet and i was PRAYING for more depth in that but no! fuck me!
if you wanted to have the corny ass parade, okay, have it, but maybe show the traveler not being as happy? or carrying mental wounds after the battle??? GIVE THEM DEPTH OR SOMETHING?????????
you couldve expanded on the four shades, expanded on the abyss, expanded on the angels, expand on xiuhcóatl, expand on fucking gosoythoth since it was literally right there???? flesh out paimon, flesh out the main cast????
and totally flesh out capitano, he did absolutely nothing and he's the first of the harbingers, we just saw him get his ass beat by mavuika in the first act and then nothing??? (cutscene was great!) im not mad at the ending he got, it was very in character, i just wish there was more to him
natlan was set up as a nation of dragons and we learned nothing of them in the main arc, it set up the abyss having a personification and we learned nothing of it
this is mostly something i wouldve loved, but they set up the shades and time manipulation as we saw from mavuika, and no mention of istaroth??? hello???????????
also how did ororon know about nahidas power????

🐆Zookeeper AU🐆
Reposting this AU in full, writing and all💕 This one was first posted back in January of 2021 😵‍💫✨ Hope u enjoy~!
❗️CW- slight Terato, Grimm has a ✨uterus✨, Monsters treated like animals
Inspo for this- Olmec Mythology (Were-Jaguar myth), Lionesses that grow manes, and lots of feral-themed songs~💕
Ichigo is a keeper at a cryptozoo (basically a zoo for mythical creatures or beasts from legends) Their most recent addition is Grimmjow, a male were-jaguar gifted to their reserve by México; very aggressive, and wary of people. And Ichigo is his designated main caretaker.
Were-jaguars were described in stories as impossible creatures, with jaguar features and human bodies; the species as it’s known today is very similar in temperament to a common jaguar, but far more intelligent and aggressive to humans. Males and females are pretty similar in build, but the males have manes that make them easier to identify.
Ichigo really likes the were-jaguar; he can’t get too close when feeding him, but while Grimm is eating, he gets to watch from outside his enclosure. Then he can truly admire its beauty. It’s a shame that creatures like him become myths for their fear of humans, lose their habitats and source of food because of them.
They have an arrangement with another cryptozoo a few states away. they’ll get their were-jaguars together to hopefully start breeding. All in hopes to increase their species numbers from their dangerously low count, captive bred were-jaguars aren’t very common either.
So Ichigo is tasked with socializing Grimmjow; he is extra careful, extra patient. Grimm is shy, Ichigo finds; always running away the second he sets foot inside the enclosure. But the  aggression doesn’t stop, were he to come too close; specially when food is involved.
Slowly, every day, and being careful to use exactly the same vest every time he comes into the enclosure (lest he lose the familiar scent), Ichigo stays a little longer. Calm, unthreatening. Eventually, Grimmjow comes out of his shell; gets a little closer, glares a little less and is comfortable enough to even close his eyes a bit and enjoy the sun in his presence. Ichigo is delighted about his progress.
Until one day Grimmjow jumps him.
For a few seconds, Ichigo thinks that’s it; he read it all wrong and now this creature was going to rip him apart. Except Grimm instead starts grooming him. Opening his lethal jaws and, with menacing fangs closer to his eyes than Ichigo is comfortable with, gently biting his face, then rubbing his cheek all over it. Ichigo is freaking out, okay? So maybe Grimmjow likes him now, great, but those teeth are still on his face.
The other keepers find it hilarious though; their faces going red and purple from holding their laughter for too long. 
“... help ...” Ichigo mouths at them as Grimmjow continues to purr and croon away. 
Eventually, they do help him out, all while giggling like idiots— right until their laughter annoys Grimmjow enough for him to hiss and scare them off. After that, it becomes their new normal. Ichigo has to stay a couple minutes every time he comes in, while the were-jaguar rubs his face on him and tangles his hair with his sand-paper tongue.
They even test it out once, someone else tries getting near the enclosure: it’s back to aggressive, scary jaguar; and Ichigo is very proud to be the one to have befriended the creature.  They schedule the meeting with the other zoo’s were-jaguar.
When the day comes, and Grimmjow meets the other creature, Ichigo fights the need to bite his nails. He really hopes Grimm will be nice to her. They sniff at each other, they seem a bit wary, but otherwise not aggressive. It takes them a while to settle down, and Grimmjow even appears to be interested. It seems to be going well, even! The female lays, submissive, as Grimmjow gets up from his spot and on top of her, even bites her neck a little in a show off dominance—  but then nothing.
Grimmjow walks far away, apparently done with whatever he wanted to do, and lays in a corner. Any more attempts after that to make them interact are met with more disinterest from both parts. It’s a pity. They’ll find another female, maybe.
Ichigo continues his work as usual, and Grimmjow still meets him with the same animosity, the same kitten-like playfulness. It’s all fun and games until Grimm starts grunting one day, as soon as he comes in; rolling around like a house-cat and eventually presenting his ass, tail up and huffing and grunting like he was desperate for Ichigo to get the hint. OH, DID HE SUDDENLY GET IT.
Tumblr media
Grimmjow was... not a male. Somehow had a mane and all— but not. a. MALE. And he’d somehow decided that Ichigo was an appropriate mate. How did no one realize? How did the vets not realize? Ichigo practically runs out of there, and into the offices to get (more like demand) some answers.
Apparently, their veterinary team had tried to do a full check up, like they always do. But Grimmjow was so stressed that the adrenalin completely burned through the anesthetic, scared the vets and even almost hurt one of them. So in the end they decided to leave the little details like his sex as ‘obvious on sight’. With Ichigo’s help now, though, they are finally able to do a proper check up.
Ichigo administers the anesthetic, and stays in the room so Grimm can smell him. Turns out, he really isn’t male. Just as Ichigo theorized; but a female with a high amount of testosterone. Enough to give Grimmjow the mane and temperament of a male. 
They do eventually find another were-jaguar for breeding. Now that they know they should look for a male instead, does make it easier. Ichigo even gets the privilege to help with any future cubs. That doesn’t stop Grimmjow from trying to woo Ichigo again, though ~🌿
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Ichigo is a little jealous, but only because it’s ridiculous how these jaguar-creatures have a far more exciting sex life than him.
Grimmjow for his part just enjoys the ride, even if he plays really hard to get. Can’t have them believing they can one up him just like that. He’ll get rid of them as soon as the deed is done. 
And surely enough, soon the zoo learns Grimm is pregnant; and all the staff is incredibly excited. Ichigo is sure this means he’ll have to distance himself, he’s aware of Were-jaguar’s lonely natures, and how protective they are of their young. It was already a miracle how close he could get to Grimmjow as is; would that mean he’d be allowed to stay now that he was carrying? Probably not. Much less knowing Grimmjow saw him as a male rather than a mere human.
To his surprise, however, that didn’t happen at all. He’d been instructed to be more cautious now, leave his food and get back out instead of hanging around like he used to. He tried to do that. He really did. But he took one step outside and Grimmjow yowled like he’d killed someone dear to him. The sight of it was much worse. He was staring at him with big sad eyes, wondering why Ichigo was abandoning him. Orders be damned, he was getting back in there.
Surely enough, the moment he stepped inside this time Grimmjow immediately jumped on him, holding his face close and chuffing contentedly as he rubbed his whole face on his hair. Ichigo couldn’t help but laugh when from outside Rukia (a coworker) tried to remind him he was not supposed to do that anymore. It was all words anyways, she was quickly squealing at the adorable scene and taking pictures for the zoo’s office wall.
And it stayed like that for the following months too. Especially when Grimmjow was closer to delivery and wobbled more than walked; demanding every day after his check-ups for Ichigo to stay longer and rub his belly to ease the ache.
Two adorable cubs; rambunctious from the second they could open their eyes and explore around. And once more, Ichigo was personally invited by Grimmjow himself to be present the whole time. And most check ups were done by him or in his presence, if only to keep Grimm calm; he still didn’t trust other humans too much.
When the public could finally meet the cubs, it took barely a couple days for them to become a fan favorite even before being properly named. Ayumi and Kaito💕
Extra; a couple extra designs I did for monsters on this AU💕

This was hard, but even when it didn't work out like we (Checo and us) expected, I think pookie did an amazing job. He could have said 'screw it' after what happened to Lawson (who in my book is out of the family, sorry, legal reasons and all this is a joke), but he kept trying and even dared to go for the fastest lap with the garbage damaged car he had.
I feel kind of bitter, I didn't see Lawson being so agressive with other drivers, even when he needed to be, and the flipping him off... was that really necessary?
At least Franco avenge us, love you Argentine man, you are my new favorite of all Checo's kids.
Max, poor soul, 20 seconds and his car wasn't really working either.
Yuki, my love, you deserve the world, and Nano... this wasn't what he expected for his 400 race.
Happy for Carlos, but why are they calling him King of México? It's the first time he wins here, not even Max who has won several times was called that! Relax or Miguel Hidalgo will come for you.
So, in conclusion: I'm proud of Checo, he never gave up, even when his car was damaged, tried his best, but there was little he could do with that car in those conditions. Franco is amazing, Checo's favorite son, and KMag and Hulk in points always cheers me up.
Now I'll have to start screening posts because I'm sure we will received A LOT of negativity.
Remember we are in this together, with Checo no matter what.

Missa and Roier Discussion.
(Long post with a lot of text. "Mucho texto")
Tumblr media
Missa was telling roier that he lives with tallulah, chay and phil, so roier got a little mad/upset that missa wasn’t going to live in the mexican village.
Missa: (about his house)"a beautiful house, beautiful."
Roier: "no, well, you can stay there! you can stay there if you want!!"
M: "No, you don’t understand, they are making the house bigger so there could be a guest room in case that you want to go. But you're being aggressive, asshole! I was going to invite you to-"
Ro: "Nonono I thought that you were going to live with the Mexicans instead of going with them."
M: "no, I am going to work with the Mexicans, 8 hrs a day, it’s going to be like I live here."
Ro: "aah you are going to work with the mexicans and then go with the americans"
M: "well, first they are british."
….
Ro: "well, but let’s see, if at any moment they throw you out of the house you can live here."
M: "ok ok, I don’t think they’ll kick me out but-"
Ro: "Uuuuy you are a fucking sugar baby, you are a parasite!"
M: "You don’t understand. I am still poor, I don’t want to be like that forever, I want to help in the house."
Tumblr media
They talk about the mission of building a house, so missa decides to build a vacation home in the mexican village.
M: "Chayanne, tallulah, I am going to build a vacation house here, in latam, ok? only for vacation-"
Ro: "to live here with the fucking idiots-"
M: "(In home) When we feel relaxed with a lot of peace, we can come here and feel danger."
Ro: "aah I see, you are the typical uncle that goes to live at the US."
Tallulah: "you can live where you want, it’s ok :D"
M: "nonono, if I can live where I want, I want to live with you guys. ok?"
Ro: "nonono it’s ok, it's understandable that you betray the homeland."
Tumblr media
Missa liked something of the house
Ro: "see you could live here but no, you preferred to be with the british, it’s ok, it’s understandable, it’s totally understandable that you betray the homeland. It’s understandable! that you prefer the people that speak *british accent*, you like it more, no? well it’s ok there’s nothing wrong."
M: "well where can I build my house?"
Ro: "NO, NO, YOU ARE NOT GOING TO LIVE HERE!!"
M: "I DON’T GIVE A FUCK IF YOU WANT ME HERE OR NOT!! I AM GOING TO BUILD MY HOUSE!"
Ro: "YOU ARE NOT LIVING HERE DAMMIT!"
M: "I AM GOING TO BE THE ANNOYING NEIGHBOR THAT-"
Ro: "NO-"
Rivers: "Hello?"
R: "Rivers, hi"
M: "Rivers, how are you?"
Ri: "Hello!"
Ro: "We were fighting! but come in."

Ro: "ok, I’ll do it."

M: "I am going to put it this way."
Ro: "You are not putting any house anywhere, asshole! Did you hear me?"
M: "shut up, shut up, shut up, shut the fuck up."

Missa starts working.
Ro: *reading pepito sign* "'Apa what happened?', No pepito here, HERE! NOTHING HAPPENED! NOTHING, JUST THAT THERE'S AN UNCLE THAT IS AN ASSHOLE! THAT’S WHAT HAPPENED! 'we moved out to china that’s what happened!'" (reference3)

Roier makes an alarm type sound.
M: "Roier, it's that the call- the call for…?"
Ro: "It's the call for you to get the fuck out of here!"

M: “I already made my house. Do you want to see? I am your neighbor”
Ro: “This shit is not staying here”
M: “Ha-ha-ha I already put the door”
Ro: “Fuck”

Missa needed glass for the windows so he took roier’s furnace, but roier had gold in it.
Ro: “Hey! what the fuck? you motherfucker! My experience! ajsdnkajnskd!!” *screams nonsense*
M: *in his house*“It’s private property you can’t enter!”
Ro: “Hey stupid! my bread! motherfucker!... well keep it fucking poor”
M: “It wasn't bread it was gold, take it”
Ro: “What? gold? give me the fucking gold!”
M: “relax man, it’s not that serious”
Ro: “Fuck you, I thought that it was bread and i was going to give it to you, fucking poor”
M: “But you realize, true friends forgive each other”
Ro: “Fuck you, you live next to me, fucking ugly house you made only to take up space, fucking monopoly looking ass house”
M: “What are you talking-? yeah, it looks like snoopy’s house”
Tumblr media
Ro: “Put the fucking furnace idiot”
M: “Don’t worry i’ll make you another one” *starts mining the blocks of roier’s wall*
Ro: “WHAT ARE YOU DOING!? ASSHOLE! WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING!?”
M: “I AM MAKING YOU ANOTHER FURNACE!”
Ro: “BUT WHY DID YOU TAKE STONE FROM MY WALL? YOU PIECE OF SHIT!”
M: “WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? YOU ARE VERY STRANGE TODAY!"
Ro: "THE STRANGE ONE HERE IS YOU, MOTHERFUCKER!”
M: “WHAT IS WRONG? WHAT IS HAPPENING?”
Ro: “GET OUT OF THE HOUSE! GO WITH FELIPE! GO WITH FELIPE!
M: “I MADE YOU ANOTHER FUCKING FURNACE! THERE IT IS!"
Ro: *cursing him in words that are weird to translate*
Then they go explore like a latam family.

THE ERAS TOUR — one shot.
Tumblr media
pairing: charles leclerc x reader
MASTERLIST.
NOTE: this is fully to ignore the fact that i probably will not see taylor in argentina bc the chances of getting tickets are insane, which is okay (i already cried my eyes out) — still doesn't make it hurt any less — but i have hope another opportunity will come! nicki is amazing and after yesterday’s race (forza ferrari fr) all ferrari fans need a pick me up. enjoy this random fic!! this is kinda all over the place, but we move (italics = translation)

Hmm, so today i worked with a bit of horror and this came to me
What if we make the Batman into a cryptid but the cooler kind, the leyend to scare young kids type
Before you write or send a comment, i'm mexican, born and raised, still live there. Thank You.
This came from me thinking about La llorona, a leyend (scary one) here in México and some other parts of latam it seems(?) and it's in short, about a woman whose kids die and she dies from sadness over it, with her eyes drying up from so much crying, becoming a spirit that haunts the world while calling for her children in desperate screams
The reason behind the kids' death changes depending on who you ask, either she killed them or it was an accident, but they die by drowing in all versions, and, as a result of the above, any kid she comes across gets taken away because she mistakes them for her own, they end up dying by her hands too tho (because she thinks they're hers and drowns them, or because she realizes they aren't)
She's also a single mother (the story goes back to the 1500 btw)
And I think Bruce fits this. So. Fucking. Well.
Like, Jason and Dick die, and he becomes this, and then Tim was trying to help him pass from the world but he couldn't and instead became his child too, and the rest followed along, by accident, by choice or not
Can he be a hero here? I don't think so, but, maybe he does care for the children somehow, the ones that he realizes aren't his, that they have parents to go to are the ones he protects
He cares for the people, who are not at fault for his loss, so he protects the city he also haunts
He cares for the nice old man who's never been afraid of him, who gives him a sad smile and who he feels like he knows but all the memories of his life are buried down and forgotten behind his children dying
He might not even want the children he takes to die, it's like the pit rage in canon, it takes over him and they world gets too blurry to think right
And he cares for those kids, he really does, it's not their fault, but there's one he can never remember the name of (Dick) no matter how many times he repeats it
Dick forgave his dad (whatever the reason for their deaths might be) and wanders around him in a nice way, doing his best so all of them can finally pass away
Jason hasn't. He haunts Bruce, most of the episodes where he snatches more kids away are Jason's fault, as he appears and dissapears in front of him, making him believe any kid is his boy, Jason doesn't notice and actually tries to protect other kids.
Steph's 'your not my dad!' call hits harder in this au-
Cass was wandering around town alone, she didn't stand a chance because she couldn't even scream for help. She's like a second shadow to Bruce, always near, always watching, and some who have scaped them swear her eyes never stop looking at you. She might be the only kid who's not mad at him for taking her away
Duke is similar enough, he didn't like the dark, but when there's no other choice is the worst thing that happens.
Damian's tale as a child of his that Bruce originally thought to have died gets worse when he gets taken, reunited but only by death, one that is his dad's fault.
One where Bruce got another one of his kids killed.
||||
Hoenstly, i'd like to work on this au? If that's like fine?
I'll try to make some designs and maybe like some draws, if i get to, a series of one-shots
Oh, and if you non-latam people want to know more about la llorona, well, there's a kids animated movie :D is called "La leyenda de la llorona" pretty sure you can find it with subtitles (always better than dub tbh) it's part of a saga on mexican leyends too, can watch the others if it calls your attention, they're fun
