In my opinion Matilde should've been with Adolfo instead, i almost felt little to no empathy towards Manoel at all, from beginning to end (btw i still didn't finish, but we all know who she chooses in the end)

musings #1
i want long curly mermaid hair that hugs my shoulders, but i also want a big ‘ol afro massive enough to create a gravitational pull on nearby objects, and i want pin-straight hair in a high ponytail that makes me look like a bitchy blonde secretary with an equestrian hobby, but i also want a buzz cut with a built-in alarm clock and when i hear it i shoot out of bed, march into the forest, and photosynthesize.
i want to dye it deep purple and green like some ornate water fowl, but also a deep red proportionate with the blood of my enemies, or maybe a pink and blue pastel balayage that reminds me to always eat dessert first.
i want oxford shoes in black and white, or in tan, with smart little stitches, but i also want gladiator sandals that make people think i might have armor on until they get close enough to be stopped, and i want loud sneakers made, not for concrete, but for two pairs of wheels under them, and i also want boots so long i can throw out all my pants, but i also want velvet combat boots, and really classy black high heels sharp enough to raise the dead.
i really want an entire closet of white linen clothes so i can always have that dumb rich lady look on my face, but i also want draping lace blouses the sun can shine through when i jump over that creek in my latin childhood, and i want crop tops that make my neck more attractive than my boobs, but i also want the boobs. maybe, i even want them to peek out of the bottom a little bit.
i want stiff shirt collars, no collars, and dog collars with the y2k spikes, and i want my heart shaped buttons to have a tense conversation with the mouth of my gold plated zippers. i need a harness that reminds you i can be moved, but only if you’re clever enough to know i don’t mean physically.
i want tight skirts that blur a movie screen so that you hear them before you see them, and long pleated skirts to tuck in all my dress shirts and sweaters so that i give off a vibe of innocence, but my lipstick begs to differ, and i want shiny rubber pants, but then id have a lot of power, and with power comes responsibility for things i’ve only considered dabbling in once or ten times.
i want a bespoke suit that throws out the idea of boobs all together, and i want it in a green so dark the forests will whisper “i’m home”, or a blue so soft the sky will give up. i also want it in the classic black with guns and knives hidden in all the pockets along with a glass-etching laser, a box with a single cigarette left inside, and a crumbled up note with ten or so smudged digits.
i want a satin dress that knows everything about me and kind of blinds you while i sing on a stage, but i also want a soft cotton long sleeve dress that trails the ground like flame at an overlord’s footsteps, and i want a dress with my african ancestry screaming in every vivid thread as it comforts me with the willingness to cry about how beautiful life is.
i’d like to smell like roses, but like real ones that you sometimes find dew, or the occasion bug, on, and i want to smell like vanilla and laughter, but i also want to smell like sawdust and cold air that dries out your eyes. i want to smell like sex and sugar while holding a murderous look in my eyes like the evil people in soap operas, and i want to smell like fireworks and dynamite so you know i’m coming from a mile away, or i want a smell that embodies the ocean and makes you want to swim for your life without forgetting the salt that brought you here in the first place.
so, um, what’s my style?

Me @ Fucking Life, just because something sounds interesting in a fic doesn't mean I want to experience it in real life 🙃
#(I made this unreblogable I hope it works EDIT: it works :D)#it's friends to 'friends'(???) to slowburn but speedrun maybe enemies what the fuck#you know the feeling when you know someone longer and better than almost everyone around you#and they are going through this change to the worst but you don't think it was that severe at first#because you two are still in good terms with each other#and you DO know each other almost to the core like you have this deeper understanding between the two of you#and they act like usual around you with every good and bad aspect of their personality because you DO KNOW them#and know the causes and causations of their mood and behaviour and you can maneuver through it because YOU KNOW THEM#and you accepted them WITH the GOOD AND the BAD#and you know EXACTLY what toppled the first domino in this negative change because YOU JUST KNOW THEM THAT DAMN WELL#and you KNOW they think highly of you because your opinion matters to them#because whenever you had a disagreement and you knew you were right and they knew you were right and you were disappointed in them#they were ashamed because you were disappointed AND you BOTH knew that because YOU KNOW EACH OTHER#and with every good and bad and positivity and negativity and agreement and disagreement and arguement#they are the most influential person in your whole damn life even if they have no clue about it because without them you wouldn't be you#because they were at the center of life changing realizations about yourself and you will be forever grateful for that#but then as time goes by and as you try to explain to others why this person does what they do BECAUSE YOU KNOW THEM#and the negative changes are getting closer to people close to you and trying to explain starts to sound like a broken record#you get to a point when you get tired of explaining and it hurts you so damn much that the person you knew is slowly but steadily#getting replaced by this new person you don't want anything to do with#and you are standing up for the people close to you they hurt and they are getting angry at the person you stood up for#because how dare these people turn you against them because they feel ashamed that you are disappointed in them#but in reality this new person they are is the one who turns you against them#and you are getting this 🤏 close to your breaking point#and FUCK my life they are STILL important goddamnit.........#I don't want my life to be a latin american soap opera but I know the pattern of our relationship and a confrontation is imminent#love and peace on planet earth

Its funny that while most Disney movies are willing to give the (human) couples the marriage but not willing to show them with children, while in latin american telenovelas, the heroine ending not only married but either pregnant or already with a baby is usually a staple of the genre.

The Kirby show birthed latin meta knight, and he will forever be my favorite meta knight
Im definitely mostly projecting as a puerto-rican, but Latinx Meta Knight is my personal favorite
for those who cant decipher my tiny writing:
- Top: Hanging up flag in halberd windows “Pinche-“
- Middle: Tends to lose time talking with friends
- Bottom: Forgets certain english words / No Sabo Kirby
- Right: Watching soap operas “Oh Dios Mio.”

People often talk about representation as a way to give more power and visibility to minorities and this is certainly the most important part of it but I think a huge fact that is often missed is how proper representation can make things so much more fun
Take for example Wandavision which showed a complete lack of representation when it came to Eastern European culture . No people in Eastern Europe didn’t gave a shit about American sitcoms . This whole thing was solely to pander to American audiences . Do you know what was huge in Eastern Europe ? And I am talking so huge all the streets are empty because everyone would be at home stuck to their tv ? Latin American soap operas . Yup Wanda wouldn’t t have given a shit about American sitcoms she would have been all in on telenovela . Now just imagine how better Wandavision would have been if instead of the sitcom nonsense we got overtly dramatic soap opera themes ?
And this would have trickled right down into Agatha All Along . Imagine if instead of a generic cop show Kathryn Hahn and Aubrey Plaza got to act out a dramatic soap opera intro

She's referring to the latin soap opera* "Mijo" --> my son
Eng: BUT, BUT LUIS ANTONIO MONTERO, HOW COULD YOU!?? I LOVED YOUuUU
Cielito = little heaven -> darling Eng: Mónica... It's meEeeE!
And that's it. A drama queen™ has born (and it was not a phase)

Any colloquialism for sex en Español?
Like in English "make love" , "a fun time", " share a bed", "slept together" etc?
Entirely too many lol
Basic "make love" is hacer el amor, and "to sleep together" is usually acostarse (con alguien), and "to share a bed" is compartir cama or you can put la cama in but it sounds a bit more clinical somehow
"a fun time" is usually pasarla bien no idea why it's la sometimes people do say lo but still it's like espero que la pases bien "i hope you have a good time". There's also divertirse as a reflexive "to have fun" with una diversión being "diversion" but understood as "a bit of fun" as it "diverts attention" basically
This is a bit more of a soap opera but el amorío is a "tryst" or "fling", and la aventura is often what's used for "an affair" [this is a "love affair" kind of thing, literally "adventure" or more literally "to put to chance"; the word for an "affair" like a "matter" is el asunto]
Below you're going to find some words and terms and they'll be vulgar, so be really careful about looking these up for finding other words I missed
-
The default verb for "to fuck" for Spain is follar
As far as euphemisms, Spain has one that I personally find gross but it's hacer un polvo which is "to hook up" or "to screw", but it's literally "to make dust". And el polvo / un polvo can be slang for sex or hooking up - it just sounds so dry to me
But you have to have the article there; if you say hacer polvo it means "to tire out" in Spain, like estar hecho/a polvo means "exhausted" or "wiped out" like "turned to dust" literally and it's not sexual
There's also hacer (una) paja which is slang for masturbation, and I made this mistake because la paja normally means "straw" so I thought it was straw like Rumpelstiltskin
Turns out that la paja can also mean "masturbation", and pajear can be that verb form
Worse, la paja can refer to different sex acts that are generally not penetration but rubbing up against some body part and different nationalities will show up depending on what it is. I know this because I saw la paja rusa and thought "Russian straw" but this is one of the slang terms for "tittyfucking" - I have also seen it referred to as la paja cubana
The one thing people agree on though is that la paja griega is like hotdogging because Greek is usually butt stuff - that's the only nationality people agree on
And since I did bring up not penetration stuff, be aware that mamar is usually the word for "to blow"; it's one of the words for "to milk" so it's not always vulgar, but it's related to amamantar "to breastfeed" or "to suckle"
But if you say la mamada it's always "blowjob"
The other word for "to suck" is chupar and that's usually not vulgar unless someone says it in a vulgar way like in English
frotar is "to rub", lamer is "to lick", and sometimes people will use comerse as "to eat out"
Words you should absolutely not look up though; la leche or la lefa is slang for "cum", and el lefazo is a "cumshot" or a "cumstain"
-
Latin America likes culear or coger as "to fuck" or "to have sex" and that's more vulgar
[but coger in some places like Spain can mean "to grab" and is not vulgar at all which makes some regionalisms real awkward like someone is going to tell you at some point that coger una guagua could mean "to take a bus" in one country, or "to fuck a baby" in a different one so be careful whenever coger shows up and you're not in Spain because even countries that share a border in Latin America differ wildly on what regionalisms are vulgar and what ones aren't]
-
I have also seen ligar con alguien and I don't know how widespread it is, but it's "to hook up" where literally ligar means "to form a bond with" or "to tie to" - it's somewhere between "connection" and "bond" and mixed with "tied up" in the etymology
This one feels a bit more like what you'd expect teenagers to be talking about, not vulgar exactly but definitely has implied physical connection
-
I'm sure any of the native speakers could tell you more but what I described is a lot of the basic overall words you'd see - obviously hacer el amor is much more tame and possibly more romantic; the others go more vulgar
But acostarse con alguien isn't necessarily vulgar, it's just more euphemistic than tener sexo since it literally means "to lie down with someone"

Although he's not truly a Nazi the way Stormfront was, we do see many times throughout the show that Homelander is a bit of racist, especially towards Hispanics. I mean, he doesn't like it when he hears Ryan speaking Spanish, and all his interactions with Supersonic were so, uh, uncomfy, to say the least.
HOWEVER, Homelander is willing to overlook anything when he gets emotionally involved with someone. Like how he's always rambling on about supes being the superior race while at the same time lowkey worshipping Madelyn.
How do you think he will react to dating a Latina? I can see him being a major asshole at the beginning, complaining about her putting on Latin music while in the penthouse, and cooking "weird food". But slowly and almost unwillingly he gets dragged into the culture.
Like, her brothers and cousins adopt him and suddenly he's the guy who goes to parrillada every Sunday to hang out with his amigos, playing domino and watching freaking soccer. They nickname him "El Casas" and teach him how to speak Spanish but the type that's only spoken deep in the guetto and has grandmothers clutching their pearls.
He starts watching Soap Operas with his girlfriend ironically but then gets weirdly into them to the point that he's crying his eyes out every other episode. He also starts calling her mami/mamita and his mommy kink gets like ten times worse. Which is fine by her because she's been calling him papi rey (king daddy) in her mind since the moment she laid eyes on him.
Once they finally go public, Homelander is all but embraced by the Latino community and it makes his ratings go through the roof because America's Dad speaking perfect Spanish and dancing Salsa in his girlfriend's livestreams is the best representation they've ever gotten. His fanbase drastically changes ofc. Stormfront would be rolling on her grave, I just know it.
Forgive me if this is weird, I'm just a sad latina who's dying for representation in Homelander x reader stories.
GIRL YOU GOT ME INVESTED. i was pulling out the popcorn by the end of this!! tell me you’re gonna write this! it’s not weird at all, and there’s nothing wrong with wanting to see yourself represented. i’ve had this conversation a couple of times, and i can guarantee you’re not alone in wanting this: there’s an audience waiting!
i always tag @irenadel in these (which I hope she isn’t tired of lol) because her fic Pygmalion is the only one that i know of so far that leans into this, so you should definitely check it out if you haven’t already. i happen to have insider info that she’s working on the next chapter 👀
really and truly though, it sounds to me like you have the makings of a killer fic lined up in your mind. you clearly have a solid understanding of Homelander’s psychology, too. i really think you could do something awesome with this! it’s important that people tell these stories, and i’m not always the right person to do that.
i would 100% read the heck out of this. 🖤

The original story (screenplay, written by a big man, 1980s):
Guy: I think I really have chemistry with my newest boyfriend Other guy (chemical engineer): What kind of chemistry? Is it, gay chemistry because your a homosexual?
The woke remaster (soap opera, written by a damn girl, 2013):
Guy: I think I really have chemistry (girl scientist) with my newest (strong female) GIRLfriend Other guy (woke engineer): What kind of chemistry? Is it, gay chemistry because it's ok to be gay?
The coming ultratrad demake (catholic church record (latin), written by a muscular priest, 2026)
Guy: I think I really have astronomy (renaissance period, funded by the church) with my one (pious) boyfriend Other guy (pious engineer) (siege engineer): What kind of astronomy? By the way it's wrong to have a boyfriend but dont worry too much

soap operas dont really feel like telenovelas to me since they seem to run for years afaik and their plots arent as focused and concise as telenovelas for that reason
I won't say I'm too familiar with telenovelas (but like any son in Latin America, I've experienced the "engancharse con la telenovela de Mamá" experience, I still remember it), but that's one interesting thing about them, they're really fast-paced and packed with events and twists and action but they are surprsingly short, they often come and go in a year, two at most. You're right, soap operas are incredibly long and unfocused (don't look up how many episodes Days of Our Lives has, it's insane).
Surprisingly it reminds me of BBC shows. Maybe the Sherlock fans were yearning for telenovelas?
