#i fucking love jaguars

[pollenallergie]

look, i'm latina (born and raised in latam, never lived anywhere else, i have the credentials lmao), and regarding you not handling spicy food well, that's totally valid and normal. honestly, i think that's mexican people's fault for giving us that rep that latines love spicy food when in reality, at least here in south america, most cultures don't really have super spicy food traditionally. like, super well seasoned? absolutely. a little spicy? sometimes. but very spicy is definitely a mexican thing that people assume to be true for all of us

(unless... you have mexican ancestry, than i don't know what to tell you babe)

also, we don't speak spanish in brasil and that doesn't make us any less latine, and that shouldn't make you any less either <3

i mean… if you think about it… most latine people speak spanish or portuguese, and both are the languages of colonizers. you know what else is the language of a colonizer? english. so, really, we’re all in the same boat on that one.

also, about the spice thing, YEAHH!! i’m glad you brought that up!!! because i had the absolute pleasure of getting to meet and stay with one of my tias for the first time two summers ago (my boricua side of the family is pretty detached from literally everyone else in the family) and she cooked for me and none of the food was like offensively spicy (not the mofongo, not the rice, not the pasteles, not the picadillo, not the empanadillas, none of it). puerto rican cuisine, like many other types of caribbean cuisine, has just as much african influence as it does spanish influence, and yet, even we’re not going too crazy with the spice. mexican cuisine is giving the rest of us a reputation we simply can’t (and won’t) live up to (love y’all tho <3 <3 love mango with tajin. love mexican chocolate. love tamales. <3 <3).

… in all fairness, spice is also good in really hot, dry climates because it makes you sweat and helps cool you down (oddly enough), so like… it could just be that the landlocked, more arid places in mexico (predominantly north mexico and some of central mexico, i think) have learned to eat lots of spice in the summer to help keep them cool since they don’t have coastal breezes (in the landlocked portions) and are fairly close to the equator. but like in more tropical and coastal places, we don’t typically need that because the temperatures are fairly mild, we get lots of rain (at least during the wet months), and we benefit from the luxury of frequently having a costal breeze.

but also i’m not mexican, i know next to nothing about mexican culture (i mean i hardly know anything about my own culture!!) so like… i have zero authority here… i could totally be just talking complete nonsense rn.

also eeek you’re from brasil??? that’s super fucking cool!!! i’ve always wanted to go to brasil specifically to study the jaguar populations because!!! first of all, there’s so many!!! also brasileiro jaguars are usually quite a big bigger than other jaguars (if i’m remembering correctly), which is just… ugh we love to see that!!! and since brasil’s government has put more protections in place for them in recent years, they’re numbers are (to my knowledge) coming up… also like they’re so elusive and cool!!!! the flora and fauna of brasil is so fucking incredible!! genuinely one of my favorite regions for that exact reason. like where else in this world am i going to see a big ass jaguar battle against a caiman???

Before Grassroot's death, Otterslip was tempted to just let all of Stormsight's offenses pass by. The remarks, the rumors, the arguments.. he was willing to let it all go.

Then his son was mauled by dogs, and Stormsight failed to save him. With all the herbs and medicines, Stormsight failed to save his son, who had only become a warrior so recently.

Otterslip felt something inside of him snap that day, like a spider's web brought crashing down by the simply flap of a bird's wings.

Then he overheard Stormsight talking to himself. Wondering.. how to.. reveal his late mother was a murderer. How to reveal she had been the one to kill Sunwish.

All hesitation Otterslip had vanished in that moment.

When he asked around for Stormsight the following day, he had been told by others that the medicine cat had "gone out to get herbs". Some cats told him not to be too rough on Stormsight, that he tried his very best to save Grassroot.

Otterslip paid them no mind, but he also knew not to be obvious.

So he made it look like he gave up looking for the medicine cat.

(Something inside of him told him to give up for real. To not go through with. Please, that voice screamed, don't.

Otterslip ignored it.)

When he knew the clan wasn't paying attention, they wouldn't notice his absence, he slips out. His pawsteps as quiet as can be. Scorchstar never taught him the technique Oaktuft had taught her, but he had seen her using it.

He knew how to use it. Not to her level, but he know now.

It was easy enough to find Stormsight's scent trail. The medicine cat was easy to trail behind once Otterslip found him. The warrior stayed hidden, in the bushes and greenery.

Stormsight was not looking for herbs. He was walking, talking to himself.

Talking about how to reveal Scorchstar's sin.

Otterslip felt like something was clouding his mind. Vengeance, his heart cried, vengeance. His mind cried the same thing, and so he followed Stormsight to the cliffside.

His brown fur blended well with the dirt and rock walls. His blue eyes were a hindrance, but Stormsight never heard him.

Otterslip watched as Stormsight sat at the edge of the cliffside, deep in thought.

(No, the voice deep inside cried. Don't do this.)

He began walking, pawsteps quiet.

(No, no, no, the voice cried again. You can't. Don't!)

He was far from the medicine cat, but he was picking up speed. His heart was pounding in his hearts and his jaw was clenched.

Grassroot.. mother..

(Don't let the cycle repeat, the voice inside wailed. You can't let it repeat! Be better! Please!)

Otterslip's eyes narrowed to a fierce glare as he got closer to Stormsight's back, and he turned his body a bit.

You're a disease, just like Sunwish was. If I want to protect the clan..

(Don't! the voice shouts. Don't make the same mistake!)

I need to eradicate the disease!

Otterslip squeezed his eyes shut as he rammed his side into Stormsight, causing the medicine cat to yeowl. He opened his eyes soon after and dug his claws into the cliff top, preventing him from falling down..

Just as Stormsight was falling now.

Otterslip lets out a breath, body going slack as he watches Stormsight fall to the pointed rocks below.

They lock eyes.

"OTTER-!" Stormsight tries to shout, but he falls directly onto a pointed rock. His shout turns to a gurgle as blood fills his throat.

(The cycle continues, the voice deep inside weeps.)

HOLY FUCK HOLY FUCK WHAT THE HELL?????

Lol I made my spiritborn character just two days ago the moment Vessel of Hatred went live and I'm currently at lvl 45 now

And I'm still at the Ill Tidings campaign quest

[analogboii]

sometimes I think about the fact that when oda was making the supernovas, he thought that kid would be more popular than law. like he didn't expect law to be as popular as he ended up being (thusly bringing in the backstory, etc)

so does that mean we possibly have an entire backstory of kid and his pirate crew just sitting around???? like what plans did he have??? did he have any??? WHAT IS THE LORE?? ODA PLS I NEED TO KNOW. IM BEGGING. IM ON MY KNEES.

[hauntingblue]

My theory is that corazón doesn't want law (and children) to be part of the family bc he wants to protect them so he just scares and hits them away

[applescabs]
