#latin american characters

[art-of-a-space-duck]

Been playing quite a bit of the Sims 4, and these two are among some of my favorite digital dolls. Darrel is the first child of the first two sims I made in the game, and Roberto is from the third household I ever made. Currently, they’re married with two kids. While the unmodded base game doesn’t allow for it, in my head Roberto runs a small game dev studio, and Darrel watches the kids in between being a music tutor.

If i have to see another post saying that they are the same character ONLY BECAUSE THEY ARE LATINX i will cry.

I do not enjoy that at all.

They aren't even the same! The only thing they have in common is that they flirt and that they are latinx.

It's not even about comparing two characters who are slightly similar.

It's that they say they are the same person. when they both have such different stories... :/

I just found a video compilation of moments in the spanish dub for children cartoons where the characters swear...

I- I didn't know they used the word "mierda" (shit) and "cagarla" (fuck it up) so much...

How did this happen? Lmao

Mirabel Madrigal has officially arrived for meet and greet at Magic Kingdom (Walt Disney World) and I couldn't be happier. She is my favorite character and comfort character combined, especially because Encanto is my favorite Disney movie.

Thank you for a wonderful experience, Mirabel ❤❤

Here are a few Latin American songs that remind me of Jake Seresin because this fandom needs for Latin American music

And yes they’re all about break ups or similar things because when I say Jake Seresin I mean Hangster

Tu falta de querer by Mon Laferte, Jesus Christ this is his song, Jake wondering how Bradley could ever stop loving him hurts me beyond comprehension

Lo que construimos by Natalia Lafourcade, literally made for Hangster

Si tu me quisieras by Mon Laferte, SHE JUST IS JAKE OK?!

No me hables de sufrir by Los Bunkers, angry Jake after their break up

Mi buen amor by Mon Laferte, Jake and Bradley thank you

Rosas by La oreja de Van Gogh, waiting for roses from Bradley 😭

La gata bajo la lluvia by Rocio Dúrcal, it has such a sad tone cause he’s so sad and he wants to hate Bradley but he’s still in love

Amarrame by Mon Laferte, it’s just hangster starting their relationship when it’s still playful and they can’t really admit all their feelings

Beso by Jósean Log, its such a good song for like before they started dating, when they were still flirting and it was like so much tension

Abrazado a tí by Kevin Kaarl, THE PAIN MY GOD

Tu te vas by Jósean Log, this gives me more Bradley vibes honestly

That’s my contribution to the fandom today

Blue beetle spoilers. And spoilers for Macario (1960)

There’s plenty of articles out there already with this info but these are my thoughts.

Ok I just saw Blue Beetle and I’m in love with Xolo Maridueña!!! His character Jaime Reyes is so enthusiastic and loves his family and ultimately kind. And he has sweet eyes XD. It’s really cool he got the role because of his martial arts skills.

Harvey Guillén is in there! He plays another character with the same last name, de la Cruz, so maybe we can jokingly have crossovers in this universe with What we do in the Shadows. Blade (admittedly Marvel but still) is semi-canon already. (I didn’t catch the entirety of his real name sorry, just definitely the end.)(idk if Guillermo de la Cruz is his full name or if his name was shuffled around/inaccurately represented due to USian naming customs)

I loved George Lopez as Uncle Rudy. He rocks the kookiness!

Nana was hella cool. Between her implied revolutionary backstory (she hates Imperialists! The way she pulls out her braids when it’s time to attack makes me think that she was part of a pro-Mexico or maybe pro-Indigenous force back in the day) and Ignacio’s backstory (his mother, his only family, murdered in a ‘anti-communist’ attack in Guatemala, and then he was sent to ‘Escuela de las Americas’, a USA funded ‘school’ that basically churned out child soldiers and later adult destabilizers sent out to disrupt Latin America in the name of USian interests (its still in operation), and then he was experimented upon by the very people that ruined his life (a la the Tuskegee Airmen Experiment) really speaks to the racism and imperialism that affects the family in the movie and many people face today (preaching to the choir I know). The fight ain’t over.

(First link is in spanish, second link is the English Wikipedia page)

I appreciate that a good half of Jaime’s family were not in the US legally. The constant terror and unwillingness to seek help for fear of attention was quite palpable, and I think really adds to the idea that superheroes are supposed to make sure ALL people live safely and happily - legality should not contradict human rights. And hell, even though they were in the USA, their home was still threatened - by gentrification!

The poor Dad’s death is sadly not an uncommon phenomenon. Many immigrants, but especially undocumented ones, work themselves to the bone, both physically and emotionally. Poverty and instability kill more than any capitalist would ever like to acknowledge. And yet Alberto still found it in his heart to be kind whenever possible. I really respect that. And I think his kindness inspired Rocio (the mom, who is totally cool) and Milagro (sister) to keep on after his death.

The body horror aspects were interesting, for both Jaime and Ignacio Caripax. I hope they lean into that in later works.

But what really caught my eye was the cave of candles that appeared twice in the story. There’s a European story, Godfather Death, about a godchild of the personification of death who gets given the power to heal, and ultimately (in some people’s views) wastes it in greed and/or love. He gets to watch his life, represented as a candle, blow out. However, in Spanish, death is a feminine concept, and so Death is a godmother in that situation. Godmother Death* is thus a common story in Latin America too, but especially in Mexico and Guatemala, where Maya beliefs mixed with Catholic ones.

It turns out, the creators wanted to bring in some Latine magical realism and reference the classic Mexican film, **Macario, which is based on a novel based on a local legend that was likely based on La Madrina Muerte. I’ve ordered the book, lol, and will watch the movie soon. I’m quite excited to see it.

I found it quite interesting that Jaime’s acceptance of Khaji Da and the Macario/Madrina Muerte scene happened really close to each other. In a way, he chose compromise to continue with life, as opposed to Macario’s/the Godson’s stubbornness which lead to their deaths. His willingness to work with Khaji Da (scarabs are symbols of rebirth btw) shows a willingness to work with his place in the life and death cycle, and the Madrina Muerte themes showcase his interest in alleviating suffering***.

In any case, if you have money for a ticket, I highly suggest going to see Blue Beetle! It’s totally worth it.

*La Madrina Muerte, in Spanish. I’ve been somewhat obsessed with it since I was a preteen, as I came across the Spanish version translated to English first. My tumblr name is *somewhat* related lol.

I was somewhat inspired by La Calavera Catrina art, Santa Muerte and the Grim Reaper when I drew this.

**for some reason tumblr has decided that two links is quite enough for this post. Sometimes it just doesn’t let me add more links? Or copy/paste!!? Anyway if you’d like to read a more knowledgeable article about the relationship between the two films, look up ‘macario blue beetle’ & then an article by slashfilm will appear.

***In the legend, the godson is given a plant, a potion, or just the power to heal. But he must abide by Death’s position by the bed of the afflicted person. If death is at the foot of the bed, then they were meant to live, and he gets to take away their suffering and cure them entirely. But if Death stood by the head of the bed, then the person was meant to die soon, and so the Godson had to leave them be. In either case, Death prefers to end suffering - through complete healing or a cessation of life. However, Jaime makes sure (when he can) to help people live and be able to choose what to do with their life (like in the case of Ignacio). And Khaji Da respects that.
