Will always be amazed by the fact that for Americans and Europeans speaking their language poorly or with a very strong accent is perceived as annoying/shameful/disrespectful.

Meanwhile, for Spanish speakers, having an accent and speaking our language poorly is seen as Interesting and Sexy. I swear, girls go mad over a mediocre white man speaking Spanish.

This is about me. I am girls.

Latino character in usamerican movies: hey let's go get some comida. ay dios I miss my abuelita, she always made me some great tamales while we watched telenovelas together😞 wow what a nice clima we're having. I'm so jealous of you, white usamerican protagonist, for being born in America, the greatest country of all time. I'm so enojada that I was born in a poor shithole país, but at least now that I'm here in the land of the free I can fulfill my life long dream of buying a dishwasher and going to mc donalds

John telling Javier "this people ain't your family" in chapter 6 is so unfair. They are his family, John, the gang was all he's ever had in the US. He lets it crumble what does he have left? what will he do? In a country that is hostile to him it's the only place he's found comfort. John can say he's got his own family now, after refusing to care for it, and in the last chapters he's constantly being reassured that other folk -Arthur and Sadie- had his back.

You know who had Javier's back? Who fred him in Guarma? Dutch! sorry but it's not strange he's clinging to that man.

How can people not understand Javier's struggle? Others have been moving on for a while now, and he's being left behind, stuck in the same place. Being treated like it's his fault. He just tried desperately to hang on what little he had left of his family, he was mean and angry cause he's desperate.

it's funny when people call Sev a homophobe because, well. he might have been! he was groomed to join the fascist death cult at 16-17, so who knows what he was like during his teenagehood? but you know who else was joining the fascist death cult at that age? barty crouch evan rosier and regulus black, LOL. and all of them were under wayyy less extenuating circumstances than Snape ever was. Sirius proves that if they had wanted to, they could have left it all behind - they didn't because they believed in the cause

Look, if Severus Snape was homophobic then his whole crew of rich, privileged kids—future Voldemort minions who kissed up to him and were dying to be his chosen ones— definitely were too. And I’ll take it further: Sirius and James would been likely guilty of the same thing. Those two radiated toxic masculinity that could only be explained by the time period and context, but today? They’d be a pair of nauseating gym bros with a podcast where they interview themselves, showing up on TikTok clips whining about “the limits of humor,” “the tyranny of political correctness,” and “how feminism is ruining old-school chivalry.” You’re not going to convince me otherwise because they give off every single vibe of the average Reddit hetero-basic dude mansplaining to women online.

And let’s not even start on Barty Crouch Jr. He’d 100% be the kind of extreme libertarian right-wing radical who worships Elon Musk, has Donald Trump posters in his room, and if he’d been a Muggle, he’d have been Margaret Thatcher’s #1 fanboy back during the canon events of the saga. So don’t even try to argue with me—not a single one of them would be spared.

my heart goes to any american kid who is being affected by this election and doesn't have anyone with them. to every kid who saw the news and couldn't cry because they are in an unsafe environment. to every kid who wants to kill themself and doesn't have anyone to convince them to stay. to any kid who is scared and hopeless. to any kid that won't even try and figure out who they are in these four years because the pain of not knowing yourself might be better than death itself. to every kid who is isolated and doesn't have a lot of information but knows what this means to them. to any kid without a community, even an online one.

we can't save all of them, unfortunately we just can't

so to all of them, even if they can't read this. i love you, and if your path finishes early, i hope death is kinder to you than humankind was. we will miss you.

How long do you think will take until someone calls you a fake latino bc you made that post about your family being originally from Europe.

They already told me to "go back to Europe". I am the fifth generation here, and that's only counting my inmigrant ancestors. I couldn't care less about Europe.

(worth noting, the person who told me that was an inmigrant to the UK)

Nationalism in Russia is so fucking weird. Imagine being so pressed over someone struggling to speak such a difficult language just because they don't do it perfectly. Instead of being, you know, grateful that they are interested enough in your culture to try and learn it, when they could just as easily speak in English. Couldn't be me.

Hi, I'm gonna make you hurt.

There's this song, Color esperanza by Diego Torres, that was really typical for moms to like when I was a kid (in my country at least, Idk what your moms listened to). Anyways, imagine Catherine Todd singing it while doing the house chores and baby Jay going along with her. Then Robin Jason singing it when he's feeling nostalgic or happy.

Imagine that's why green is his favorite color (because color of hope= emerald). Here's a part of the chorus:

(the original in Spanish)

Pintarse la cara Color esperanza Tentar al futuro Con el corazón

(the translation by musixmatch.com)

Paint the face

Hope color

Tempting the future

With the heart

Anyways, I just think it would be quite bittersweet if he liked to sing this to remember his mom when he was young. I don't know what would be more sad:

He not singing it more after his resurrection because he can't bring himself to sing such an optimistic song because it feels like a mockery to his own life—

Or he still singing it because he needs the hope. Specially after everything.
