#my mother's side of the family used to call me brown girl 💀

It's 2024 and there's still Americans out there trying to convince white passing latinos that we are not latinos. Can we like, progress as a society or something? It's getting tiring.

Please, call us privileged and colonizers and shit all you like. Please, disregard the fact that not all white latinos descend from colonizers, but from refugees who came here after World War I and II.

In my (admitedly very specific) case, my mom came to Venezuela after the fall of the Soviet Union looking for a better life. Her ancestors were certainly not complicit in Spanish colonization 💀

And yeah, we do benefit from white privilege and IT is fucked up, don't get me wrong. But like, look at yourself in a mirror, maybe? 🤦🏻‍♀

We are not the ones gentrifying Latin American cities and making everything so expensive the locals can't even efford to live in their own countries anymore. We are not the ones funding the fucking cartels with our nation wide drug problem. Yes, that's a thing. And we are certainly NOT the ones electing presidents who keep bombing the Middle East and overthrowing our goverments for funsies.

Dear god, I know I will get crucified for saying it but here it goes. Even if you are POC, you are more privileged than we will ever be just for having an American passport and speaking English without an accent. Leave us the fuck alone.

Funky Lil Lookism Headcanons

Random list of headcannons I have collected over time in my notes app. Most of these were from last year💀.

J-High/Johan/Hostel

If he's not out there literally stopping illegal organizations, Daniel watches anime during his free time.

Zack can actually speak English decently. (Mira ONCE told him that she couldn't understand this English song and he just started learning English just so he could translate everything to her).We love a Bisexual and Bilingual king.

Mira was REAALY interested in Psychology when she was like 13-15 and Zack would be trying to impress her saying "Johan is crying. I know that something is wrong because I am an empath😌" while Johan is literally having a breakdown on the side of the room because of the bullying

Jay and Joy both collect coins/ paper bills from any country they could get their hands on.

The girls would have a monthly girl's night out where they splurge and be the girlbosses they are.

Mira had an astrology phase and would base everyone on their zodiac sign.

Sally has a secret stash of BL under her bed hhh. YOU SAW HOW SHE REACTED WHEN JAKE AND ELI ACCIDENTALLY KISSED WHILE FIGHTING. MY GIRL HAD AN AWAKENING

Zack listens Ricky Montgomery.

Eli definetly exploits the fact that he's an attractive Asian and would post shit on tiktok like "Pick your Asian🤪" or "I'm just a lonely Asian. Who wants to keep me company🥺🥺"

Warren has a tiktok account where he does pranks on hostel members(and sometimes Big Deal if he sharpened up his Jeet Kune Do skills cause boy-) but he doesn't know that the comments are laughing AT him not WITH him.

Hostel probably share one whole tiktok account where they post family stuff.

Sally, Natalie and Amy, and Derek and Max would also duet Eli and Warren's cringey tiktoks.

Zoe DEFINETLY had that acrylic painting on calculators phase and now every single person in the classroom has painted calculators by yours truly.

Johan gets cold really easily.

Jasmine probably runs an online shops where she sells cute children's clothes and other accessories and she's actually a decent mother figure to the kids.

Zoe thinks the prettiest features of a person is their smile and she finds irregular/toothy smiles really cute.

Joy is a really popular editor on Instagram and would even edit her friends.

Zack's type is definetly brown hair and puppy-like visuals.

Jay teaches Joy simple self defense moves.

Jace would tell Vasco little fun facts throughout the day and Vasco absolutely loves them.

Workers/Big Deal/Choi group

Jake would color in his tattoos when stressed. 

Everyone in Big Deal is gifted handmade scarves and lip balms by the girls from the street.

Samuel used to have a Gabpryong Kim stan account

Vivi used to secretly bring food from the mansion to Xiaolong. Xiaolong always refuses to take it.

Sinu can do a perfect Joker impression down from the mannerisms to the voice.

I have no idea how but Jerry and Johan would've been friends and Jerry would've called themselves "the pretty boy duo😎" 💀💀

Kouji likes grape Fanta and thrives off that drink.

Goo gives new suits to his secret friends every month. He always makes sure to give Samuel's clothes a size too small.

Samuel would rather get beat up by Jake than admit the fact he cried during Encanto.

Lineman would make really bad metaphors and would have to explain what it means.

Gun and Goo watch survival shows together. They loooveee the Produce series.

Gun and Goo used to post the cringiest unfunniest shit on Vine. Goo still thinks it's top-tier humor.

Kouji made one of those "cringefest vine compilations"on YouTube which was 90% of their videos.

I firmly believe Jake is still stuck on his musically phase and taught Johan 2016 slang while they were doing their shift as bouncers. You do not understand how mortified Zack was to hear Johan use 2016 slang.

Gun actually just tells everyone he meets who's at least decent at fighting that they're "wOrThy tO bE mY suCcEsSor" just to inflate their ego.

Every time Big Deal wants to recruit someone into their gang, they just chase them down until they get a yes.

And those are some of my Lookism headcannons! If you guys want some more of a specific character you can just ask me! I'm not particularly good at romance headcannons though so...maybe someone more talented can help you with that💀💀.
