Rookie-Critic's Top 25 Films of 2022: Honorable Mentions - Argentina, 1985 (dir. Santiago Mitre)
I know next to nothing about Latin/South American history, so imagine my surprise that as recently as the 1980s, Argentina was under fascist rule. Argentina, 1985 seeks to educate the world (which is going through something of a fascist uprising at the moment) about how horrible it was, and how hard it was to put the people responsible for numerous human rights violations during the fascist regime behind bars, even after a democratic government had replaced it. at 140 minutes long, this is a film that never once feels its length, and never once misses a beat. I honestly could have done with even more. This one is just an all-around highly well-made courtroom drama, and an educational one, at that.
Currently streaming on Amazon Prime Video. Read my wrap-up review of Argentina, 1985 here.

ateez & the carne
i think im pretty vocal about being latina bc im proud of being a brown queer woman #tripleminority but one of my favorite things to do is headcanon idols as latine and the teezers are no different so here’s how i think they would be at a carne + their latino names <3
@atzhouse @juyofans
𖥔 hongjoong would be a hit at the carne tbh. like alllll the tias would be on him asking him all these questions about what he does and stuff LOL he has the most latino energy imo and i feel like he would be chopping it up spilling chisme and learning all the family drama 😭 his latino name is hector btw.
𖥔 seonghwa would also be a tia favorite. they would NAWT be leaving him alone i fear… they’d get him in the cumbia circle QUICK brother isnt leaving without dancing to el baile del gorila by massore at least once. i feel like he’d love the music yk? his latino name is sebastián.
𖥔 yunho… sweet sweet yunho… everyone loves him bc he’s so kind and respectful. the only reason he wouldn’t be hounded by the tias is bc all the little cousins are HOARDING HIM TO PLAY WITH THEM!! he’ll take a break to eat and the kids are like NOOOOOO COME BACK :(( and it’s so cute. but his favorite part is obviously all the meat LMFAOOO his latino name is diego.
𖥔 yeosang is a family favorite. an all rounder if u will. he would make his way around the whole backyard to meet everyone bc he wants to know the whole family </3 he would get along best with the older cousins and their s/os i feel bc he’s so funny and so polite. his latino name is rafael.
𖥔 san is also a family favorite. he gets along with the tios most bc yk… beefy man and they wanna see what all the hype is about. the older male cousins are asking him his workout routine and EVERYTHING LLWMSKWNE but also like yun, the little cousins are dragging him to play with them and whining when he takes a break. the tias are gushing about how handsome he is. his latino name is santiago.
𖥔 mingi is another tia favorite! he’s tall and handsome and his stupid jokes makes them CACKLE they jajajaja the night away with him. but the older cousins are also invested BC he’s so funny LOL i’m picturing him in a setting with my own family and they’d also mess with him so much bc he’s gullible as shit 😭 but they’d love him trust <3 his latino name is miguel.
𖥔 wooyoung… now wooyoung is the type to jokingly flirt with the tias and they feed into it HELLA 😭 but he’s also super cool with the tios esp bc he likes cooking so he’s like learning alllllll the carne seasoning and marinating techniques and how to barbecue with them and that’s major brownie points for him. they’d coerce him into taking shots though bc that’s the only way to stop him from being a gremlin. his latino name is mateo.
𖥔 jongho #1 ladies man tbh the tias would think he’s so cute. he would probably feel a little overwhelmed at first bc carnes are LOUD and OBNOXIOUS and that’s just… not for him. but he would do anything to make his s/o happy and if that means attending these to win over ur family he will! he would kinda stick by his s/o’s side the whole time until he opens up and then he’s drinking with the older cousins and the tios like nothing! his latino name is josé.

starter for: everyone
location: prairie pies
The day at work had seemed never-ending; it was one of the relatively quiet days in the Santiago mansion, Hector off on some business trip for the past couple of days. The house staff always seemed more relaxed on such occasions, talking a little longer and laughing a little louder without fearing the dominating glare of their boss. His mother, though, was the opposite. Crankier than ever, she had to be begged to take her medicine, and every attempt of conversation ended with her snapping, usually something in unintelligible Spanish. Lizzie didn't blame her- with Alicia gone, it only made sense that she would rather keep her family close. The Halls seemed to be doing exactly the same.
Said Halls were more pleasant on her phonecall to let them know she was coming home and their request was much easier to satisfy than that of her elderly employer- pizza. She happily obliged, her own stomach protesting, dropping by their favorite spot and one of the very few open ones this late.
"Excuse me, are you waiting to order?" she asked the only person standing in front of her in line, trying not to sound too impatient.

𝐁𝐀𝐒𝐈𝐂𝐒
Name: Elizabeth "Liz" Hall
Age: 36
Occupation: Private Nurse for the Santiago Family
Affiliation: Neutral
Gender & Pronouns: Woman (she/her)
Faceclaim: Rose Leslie
𝐁𝐈𝐎𝐆𝐑𝐀𝐏𝐇𝐘
For the first few years of Lizzie's life, Paxton meant happiness- it's too bad she can barely remember it. She had her mom's cooking and her dad's bedtime stories and her brother's piggyback rides and no matter how tight money got, there was always a loving home to get back to at the end of the day.
But then her father got injured and along with his body broke the fragile balance of the household. Her dad withered on the couch with no energy for stories, her mom hardly had any time to cook and she barely saw her brother anymore, the man having made it his responsibility to provide for all of them.
Every night that her teeth rattled with the heat cut off, she dreamed of leaving and every day she went to school and worked for it as hard as she could. She didn't find the courage to utter it for years, scared that her ambition was too unaffordable, but instead of cutting off her wings, her family made sure she would fly as far as she wanted.
A knife of guilt settled in her gut when they had to sell their land to afford her tuition, brutally twisting with her father's death. But greater than the guilt was the newfound feeling of freedom, the fresh air in her lungs in a new city, with new people and experiences and a future to offer that Paxton would only drown, like it did to everything.
She became a nurse, the call coming almost instinctively after taking care of her dad for such a long time. She rarely went back to what used to be home, but spoke to her family daily, happy to see that they seemed to be finding steady footing as well, moving on and building something new of their lives.
But then her sister-in-law disappeared and the world turned upside down again. This time, it was her that had to make a life-changing decision in order to support her brother, and after everything he had done for her, she made it in a heartbeat. She moved back to the town she hated so much, filled with memories of hunger and poverty and grief for good times that seemed so long gone, because through all of that, the only thing that had helped her survive was family.
She worked odd jobs to contribute as much as she could, got in fights with her brother and made up the same day, helped her niece and nephew study with the hope that they would also manage to get out one day, live the life she had put on pause, hoping it was just that and not a full stop.
And then she was hired by the Santiagos- first to care for Hector's mother and her declining health, but gradually becoming a bigger part of the household, often even giving the CEO hangover cures and IVs after company dinners, chatting away through the night.
With Alicia's disappearance, she can feel something shifting, another missing person close to her, adding to the feeling of unease that she has been trying to fight in order to call Paxton home again. And among Hector's words, below the charm and the rehearsed smiles, she can now see more clearly that there is something darker brewing and wonders whether she should dive in and see which rumors are true, or get away as fast as she can.
𝐏𝐋𝐎𝐓 𝐀𝐑𝐂
Liz has been back in Paxton for more than five years, but she always told herself it was just a stop along the way, a necessary detour to support her family in a time of crisis and then move on with her life. She is slowly coming to the realization that she has built a new life here, making happier memories on top of the painful ones, almost considering her mother's suggestion to apply for a job at the new hospital that Obsidian has been building- that should be fairly easy to get, being in Hector's company every day, right? But the closer she gets to him, the more scared she becomes of what her employer is hiding, of what this town is hiding. And yet, there's a strange charm to it as well, a call that, if answered, might change her life forever.

thinking about gustavo and max
I've been wanting to write a story for Gustavo Fring and Max Arciniega for soooo long, but I can't seem to wrap my head around the when/how/where/what of it...but I just love them so much and want to explore their relationship and history.
I actually really love that canonically we know very little about Gustavo. He is so menacing, especially because we know so little about him. He's a ghost--Hank even reveals that there's no paper trail of him before he emigrated to Mexico. And sure, that could partially be due to bad record keeping during the turbulent time in Chile of Allende being deposed by Pinochet and the unrest and terror of the Pinochet regime. But...I don't think Hank believes that's the only reason; it's far more likely that Gustavo has changed his identity and is fleeing Chile because he is possibly a war criminal, or implicated somehow in Pinochet's crimes. Hector Salamanca mockingly refers to him as "El gran general" when on the phone in the flash back of Marco and Leonel as boys. So presumably Gustavo was a general in Pinochet's army? In which case, he was most likely involved in kidnapping and torturing leftists and supporters of the Allende regime. Which is terrifying to consider.
But we also know that he grew up very poor. And at some point, generated enough wealth to pay Max's way through his education at the university of Santiago. A prestigious military career would be one way to achieve that type of upward mobility. It's hard to know how ruthless Gustavo was before Max's death turned him into the shell of a man whose only motivation is revenge that we meet in canon. But it's likely that he was willing to get his hands dirty as a soldier in order to climb his way up out of poverty. We know enough about him to know that he had a cruel streak even as a child (the coati story) and that he was patient and calculating, even then. So I can imagine that, to him, the ends would justify the means in terms of being part of an awful dictatorship if it guaranteed his advancement and wealth and security for his loved ones.
I just love imagining him when he was younger and less hardened by the world and the loss of Max. It's fun to imagine them happy together and optimistic on their journey to Mexico, before tragedy strikes.
Gustavo does some truly truly awful and reprehensible things (callously sacrificing Nacho and using children in his drug operation to name a few!) that go beyond the scope and necessity of his revenge plot against the Salamancas and the cartel at large. I think by the point we meet him in canon, he's cut out any remaining scraps of "humanity" and kindness and made himself into a cold revenge machine, willing to accept any collateral damage that may occur as a result. I think even he is probably aware that Max would likely hate this thing he's become. But he can't stop; he's invested too much into it, and his hatred and thirst for revenge is the only thing that motivates him to keep breathing.
Which is why his scene with David in Better Call Saul is so devastating! We get a little glimpse there of a softer side of him, and maybe a different path he could have gone down. Maybe even a little echo of the type of happiness and warmth he had in his life with Max.
Ugghhh. They break my heart!!

*the doorbell rings and when you answer you see a small box at your doorstep with a big red ribbon bow. When you open it, it has questions written on it in okayish handwriting and a note that reads 'for your Castlevania self insert please?'*
2. when in canon does your self insert come in? do you have a scene in mind for your entrance?
5. does your self insert have any special powers or abilities?
6. does your self insert have any pets?
14. what hobbies does your self insert have?
16. freebie! name a fact about your self insert you want everyone to know.
Santiago @tex-treasures
hi hi Santiago! thank you so very much for this, also I have your Arcane ask in my Drafts, it's on hold because I want to make a drawing for it <3 but it will be answered too!
but I'm very excited for this because I basically never talk about Crow (my Castlevania insert) and now I have the opportunity to do so!
2. when in canon does your self insert come in? do you have a scene in mind for your entrance?
Crow makes their first appearance in Season 2, at the first gathering of Dracula's council. they appear with Hector and Isaac, in similar sort of uniform, making it fairly easy to mistake them for a human just like the other two. in fact, most of the vampires assume as such, and make passing comments that at least two of Dracula's human generals are Forgemasters but they see no point for keeping the third one around except perhaps for moral.
it's only when Hector and Isaac themselves make more comments on Crow's uncomfortable presence, as well as the camera panning towards the ceiling of the grand hall to reveal dozens of crows, some of which blink with blue eyes, that it's suggested that Crow is not as human as the vampire council suspects.
5. does your self insert have any special powers or abilities?
Crow is in actuality a fae. their main power comes in their ability to see through the eyes of any crow. any crow. they have a natural attraction for the birds, able to manifest a flock as soon as they move into a new area, but remain capable of turning their vision to that of a bird halfway across the country. it makes them Dracula's best spy, inside and outside the castle, and later makes them a perfect scout and guard for Alucard.
they are also able to 'dematerialise' their human form, turning instead into a flock of crows. they are also capable of returning to their usual fae form, but that is only for life-or-death emergencies, something that Taka and Sumi certainly cause.
6. does your self insert have any pets?
does Crow's flock count? because if so, yes, and like....30 of them at any given time.
14. what hobbies does your self insert have?
they do a lot of writing in their downtime. they regularly refer to themselves as 'a transcriber of history', one of the apparent reasons they joined Dracula's court when he began the purging of Wallachia. their writings tend to be a mixture of historical accounts, daily diary keeping, and poetry. they also love love reading books.
when Alucard finds them loitering in the husk of Dracula's castle, he enlists them into helping clear the place up and take inventory. during this time, he ropes them into learning how to cook, and they really take to it. soon enough they're making meals on a regular basis and trying to experiment themselves, finding recipe books from the Belmont hold and scattering them through Alucard's kitchen. they make up for a lack of utilising salt by going all in on different herbs, spices, and sauces.
16. freebie! name a fact about your self insert you want everyone to know.
Crow follows by the fae rulings of favours and exchanges. it's unknown by the rest of Dracula's Court why they chose to be one of his generals, but in truth they were the one to first open the bargaining doors with Dracula - he would gain the eyes and ears of the nation, and they would gain a front row seat to one of the largest events of the century. it was one of the main ways Dracula knew that despite Crow's human appearance, they weren't even slightly human, to see humanity being wiped from a land as 'an event'. something for them to record, as with many other things, and move on.
it turns out being close to people, instead of observing from a distance, changes someone inherently.
#answered#world: castlevania#aaaaaaahehehehe this was VERY fun#also the second drawing ask is on the way too! I have so many cool things to draw for u~

Life of Rescue Bots Au X Sweet Tooth
As you know (maybe) the bots in this Au are that: robots, while their real selves are the hybrid kids, well, that is a look for:
Impresions
The first time the wolves triplet saw the bots they got WILD.
Like, Hector (Heatwave) is a climber freak, he was climbing on robot Heatwave since the first day, but due to it's programmation the only thing Robot Heatwave could do was hold Hector and leave it again on the ground, and then Hector would climb again and again Robot Heatwave had to leave it on the ground. Shelwin (Shockwave) and Santiago (Soundwave) were scared of robot Shockwave, because it was made as a big weapon to scare invasors, and robot Soundwave was made for spionage, so, never got close to them for protection
Fang (Chase) and his obssesion for robot Chase came due to his relationship with Charlie, he sees Charlie as a father and as a protector, and that fascination is also refelcted on his respect to robot Chase, also, he really likes company for being a red panda, and when Charlie is out the island, Chase is a good comfort for him
Bernand (Boulder) is always with Graham, that means they're always with robot Boulder, actually, it's cause of them that Bernand is so freaky about science, what they don't like is the fact that robot Boulder never interact with Bernand because their spikes (Bernand is a hedgehog) are still delicated, and robot Boulder for some reason has annomalies in it's tires, and sees Bernand as the main problem of it. Bjorn (Bulkhead, also a hedgehog) also loves robot Bulkhead for it's great strenght and big fists, he even dreams to pilot it someday (he made it)
Rani (Blades) hates robot Blades because it flies, Rani is scared of heights because his "grandma" made him fly before time, so, Rani would never fly away from her, and Blades avoids Rani because Dani gave the order, mostly because she's scared that someday Rani do something stupid and scared robot Blades, that's something in need to fix, robot Blades get more easily on defense mode than the rest
Bianca (Blurr) and Sean (Salvage) are not great fans of robot Blurr and robot Salvage, they just go around them and ignore them and go into their own buissnesses
Elizabeth (Sissi, my oc) was born in the island, so, she was surronded by bots all her life, so, when robot Sissi met her, it was a casual moment, but sometimes robot Sissi let Elizabeth play with her drone mode
Edit and bonus because I forgot to mention: Hank (HIghtide) is the captain of robot Hightide (also transform into a ship), he has it since before the great crumble. And Suri (Servo) and robot Servo are not of interact with the other
I want you to remember in my Ao3 profile it is available my TFRB x Sweet Toooth one shot, give it a look 👀

what are your headcanons for all the salamanca cousin's parents?
Ooh, this is fun! Lemme build my own Salamanca family tree, lol
Lalo's parents, Alvaro and Gabriela, were the ideal cartel couple. Yes, Alvaro had a tendency to get physical, and yes, Gabriela got a little lost in the same product her husband was peddling, but they knew how to keep up appearances. Nothing was more important to them than appearances, save their gift for unpredictability. Keep 'em guessing, that was their motto. Lalo grew to be very, very good at it. If either of them were still alive, they'd be very proud. They were lost to a murder suicide a few weeks after Lalo turned nineteen. He was definitely the baby, and he had probably three older brothers, but I don't think any of them are still alive, so he's officially become the heir to the business. There was a very serious rivalry among Lalo's brothers, you see. I haven't given names or anything to them, but if anyone's interested, I might be convinced to do so!
Tuco's father, Fernando, was a little more on the reckless side than Hector, Alvaro, and Augustin would have liked. It's ultimately what got him killed. It's also what scared off his wife, Valentina. Wives don't tend to last very long with the Salamancas. Tuco was sent to live with Hector after Fernando was thrown in jail for a particularly brutal assault, which got his killed by a prison gang in retaliation, and yeah, Tuco takes after him a lot. Hector spent a great deal of time trying to beat that out of him. He had no luck. Valentina is still alive and still in Mexico, and she still sends Tuco letters from time to time. He has a few little half-siblings down there with her, and he keeps her letters in a lock box under his bed. He sends her money pretty often, though they haven't seen each other in years. He also has a sister who's married to Gonzo, but @rosayoro's Ximena is perfect and I don't wanna consider anyone else in this role! 😂🖤
Marco, Leonel, and Aurelia's father, Augustin, is the only one of the original Salamanca brothers left alive, save Hector. It's because of his cowardice. There was a conspiracy to get him shot in the leg so he couldn't fuck anything up after he'd proven time and time again that he couldn't be trusted to work in the game. Their mother, Reina, went missing when her children were very young, but the twins remember her fondly. Aurelia doesn't remember her at all. Maybe she purposely doesn't remember. Six years after Reina's disappearance, Augustin got remarried to a woman named Ana Luna, who's the same age as Aurelia, and they now have a child, a little boy named Santiago, who will hopefully never have to be involved in the game.
#i forgot joaquin but i don't care about him enough to bother lol#lalo salamanca#tuco salamanca#marco salamanca#leonel salamanca#aurelia salamanca#better call saul#my bcs#asks

"I'M NEVER WORKING IN THIS PLACE AGAIN."
The news breaks first thing in the morning — OBSIDIAN HOLDINGS PURCHASES OCEANVIEW APARTMENTS. Alongside the news, architectural renderings and town planning documents flash on the screen. There are plans to reduce the residency of six apartment buildings on a block of Seton Village. Obsidian-contracted construction companies intend to knock down the formerly historic hotel to build a block of high-end luxury apartments. The plans also include new retail spaces on the first floor, which will serve the public.
Although many regard Oceanview Apartments as a breeding ground for various acts of depravity, from drugs to gambling to prostitution, Oceanview is one of the only places in Paxton that offers furnished living spaces for those with criminal records. For people trying to start their lives over, Oceanview functions as a safe space. This is especially true for the various ranchers and their families who lost their land in the fires that ravaged Paxton months ago.
Obsidian Holdings expects outrage regarding the removal of a vital community resource. Among the outraged, is the Paxton Historic Society whom filed orders against the demolition permits. The documents cite Paxton's historical code as the primary reason for an immediate cease and desist. After all, the hotel grounds once belonged to a bathhouse that housed various outlaws from the days of Wyatt Earp. This history could prove difficult for Obsidian Holdings to overcome as they submit their final plans for city council approval.
However, Obsidian Holdings shows no signs of stopping. With the original construction site being reduced to ash months ago, they have no choice but to renovate what currently exists. Regardless of whether or not the council approves their building plans, residents of Oceanview report their monthly rent skyrocketing to unaffordable rates. For the displaced families worries continue to rise. Phonecalls to Oceanview's property manager play an automated hold message that quotes new move-in dates two years from now. Another shocking line on the automated message quotes a hair-raising price of $2,600 a month for a five-hundred-square-foot studio apartment.
As these facts reach the community, three classes of opinions arise: those who believe Obsidian's move is predatory, those who want to see Oceanview Apartments cleaned up, and those who are ambivalent because they live outside the proposed construction zone...
THEN I SAW THE ZEROS ON THE PAYSTUBS.
OOC INFORMATION.
This plot drop is OPTIONAL. However, we encourage writers to mention this plot drop and its collateral impact on their characters' lives.
COWBOY MAFIA: The news took them by surprise. While Obsidian is gobbling up properties left and right this purchase raised some neck hairs. Many of their friends and family in the ranch community suffered because of the fires last year, so this feels like salt in an open wound.
OBSIDIAN HOLDINGS: This plan existed in negotiations for years. With Obsidian's current CEO, Hector Santiago, standing at the helm it’s begun to see its fruition. The purchase marks one of Hector's largest business deals since his promotion last year. It's not their fault the original construction site went up in flames.
NEW SKELETONS will tie into this plot drop.
