#socorro means help in portuguese

Everyone who writes spider last name w 2 Cs, you are my enemy.

[dumbass-tumbler-cryptid]

Do you think Spider's surname is supposed to give us a clue about his possible Latin/Portuguese/Spanish roots? Does Paz have any of these origins in your work?

So I’ve been thinking of your question for awhile and I think it’s best if I explain my perspective on things because it translates to my writing.

So I’m an American mutt. My family on both sides immigrated here a few generations back and since I basically have no ties to any culture other than American I can assume they decided to abandon their culture in favor of assimilation which I totally get because I know they were heavily discriminated against for being immigrants. But still I have no cultural ties to their countries. Looks wise I have very common features, dark hair, dark eyes, skin that gets brown if I’m out in the sun (which I never am since I work nights) because of this I get asked pretty often “what’s you background” “what’s your ethnicity.” “Where do you come from?” And I’ll ask people “what do you think?” And I have run the gambit for answers, Hispanic, Italian, Bosnian, Armenian, Native American, Greek, Portuguese, and even Singaporean once which was wild to me. And while I’ve never asked this question of someone I do just kinda automatically assume that anyone who looks like me must have the same background as me which couldn’t be farther from the truth. 

So that’s where I’m coming from. On a personal level I’m very much just a people are people kind of person and don’t feel a need to focus on race unless it’s relevant to the plot. In my writing it only seems relevant when I’m writing Na’vi characters and not Spider. I am getting a little more into Spider being discriminated against in Visited on the Son but that’s because of who his father not his background.

The last name Socorro does have Latin origins according to my internet research. Could this hint towards Latin roots. Absolutely. Again coming at it from my perspective, I think it’s likely Spider’s decedents on his mom’s side immigrated to America at some point in time and assimilated. Keep in mind Avatar is set over 120 years from now. The U.S census shows decade after decade that the population is increasingly becoming multicultural so by the time we’re at in Avatar I can see a lot more people identifying as just an American mutt, people made up of a tapestry of different backgrounds but culturally divorced from all of them.

I get more from the actual meaning of Spider’s last name and his mom’s first name. Paz means peace and Socorro means to help/to aid. That says way more to me then Spider’s ethnic background.

But that’s just me though. If you enjoy fics and head cannons where Spider is Latino then that’s great! Everyone deserves representation and if you find yours in a Latino Spider then I am so happy for you. I guess weirdly as I’m writing out my thoughts picturing him as a genetic mutt who finds his own culture among his loved ones is me finding my representation in him too.

Athena, icarus, persephone

[ENG]

Athena: Favourite thing to learn about?

new words (portuguese and english). i really like to learn new words and i feel very exited to use them.

✿♡♡

Icarus: How would you describe yourself?

well, i feel like i'm juggler (lol). that's because i'm holding so much things (i mean, i got a lot of things to do) and i just can't be quiet when i'm not busy. i always search something new to do even if i didn't finish my previous works. and it makes me do everything at the same time, like a juggler.

✿♡♡

Persephone: What's your "type"?

ok, i'm really surprised right now (lol help). but ok. well, i don't have a specific type. i guess. there's some featured details to call my attention. be kind, that's most important. do you know how is it important? a simple action proves it. it's rare to find someone sensitive and empathic and kind. being kind, you just got a lot of good things.

and someone who i can say anything without shame. i like to talk about everything (really) and maybe my "type" is someone who makes me feel comfortable to talk with (without restrictions). a person who got own opinion, right? i like when someone thinks for your own (in this world where you can easily find packs of opinion on internet and tv). a deep opinion.

it is, thanks for asking (っ˘з(˘⌣˘ )

[PORT]

Athena: Coisa favorita para aprender?

novas palavras (português e inglês). eu realmente gosto de aprender novas palavras e me sinto empolgada em usá-las.

✿♡♡

Icarus: Como você se descreveria?

bem, eu me sinto como se eu fosse malabarista (kkkk). isso é porque eu estou segurando tantas coisas (quero dizer, eu tenho muitas coisas para fazer) e eu simplesmente não consigo ficar quieta quando não estou ocupada. eu sempre procuro alguma coisa nova pra fazer mesmo que eu não tenha terminado meus trabalhos anteriores. e isso me faz fazer tudo ao mesmo tempo, como um malabarista.

✿♡♡

Persephone: Qual seu "tipo"?

ok, tô surpresa agora (socorro kkk). mas ok. eu não tenho um "tipo" específico. eu acho. há alguns detalhes em destaque que chamam minha atenção. ser gentil, é o mais importante. você sabe quão isso é importante? uma simples ação prova isso. é raro encontrar alguém sensível, empática e gentil. sendo gentil, você tem um monte de coisas boas.

e alguém que eu possa falar qualquer coisa sem vergonha. eu gosto de conversar sobre qualquer coisa (sério) e talvez meu "tipo" seja alguém que me faça sentir confortável para falar (sem restrições). alguém que tenha opinião própria, taokei? eu gosto quando alguém pensa por si só (neste mundo onde você pode facilmente encontrar pacotes de opiniões na internet e televisão). uma opinião profunda.

foi isso. obrigada por perguntar (っ˘з(˘⌣˘ )

[nomxsicmiguel]

- Task 001 :  -

BASIC INFORMATION.

- What is your character’s full name ?: Miguel Rivera - How is it pronounced ?: mee-GHEL  ri-vair-uh - Is there a meaning behind it ?: Spanish and Portuguese form of MICHAEL. A notable bearer of this name was Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra (1547-1616), the Spanish novelist and poet who wrote 'Don Quixote'. - Does your character have any nicknames ?: Chamaco, De la Cruzito and Julio - When and where were they born ?: April 24th, 1997 What’s their zodiac sign and what traits do they most relate to ?

PHYSICAL APPEARANCE.

- What’s their eye color ?: Brown - Do they wear glasses or contacts ?: Nope, he has 20/20 eye sight. - Hair color ?: Black (although in the sunlight it looks dark brown) - Have they ever dyed their hair or wanted to ?: Miguel never saw the interest in dying hair, and even if he did his familia would probably have a heart attack if he tried. - Height ?: 5′8″ - Body build ?: Lean and a bit tall but not exactly to the point of looking lanky. More along the lines of a runner’s body type.  - Do they have any birthmarks ?: He has a mole right above his mouth on the right side of his face.  - Do they have any piercings or tattoos ?: None. - If not, do they want to get some ?: Maybe?!!!  - Do they have a healthy life style ?: With the type of food his abuilita cooks? And how much she makes him eat?! No, not really. But Miguel is constantly running off to places, so that helps him burn all of the fat he get’s from eating so much. - How easy do they get sick ?: Not very often. Only get’s sick every four or five months, and that is usually if Miguel over exhaust himself with little to no sleep. When that happens, it’s hard to ward any member of his familia away, but honestly Miguel would just want to rest in bed with the sheets all over him the entire time he his stick. - Any marks on their body ( injuries, … ) ?: A few faded scars can be noticed on both sides of his hands he received mainly from years of making shoes.  - What’s their personal style/how do they like to dress ?: T-Shirt, hoodie, and jeans. On other occasions, it would be: t-shirt, flannel (cotton), and jeans. - What is their favorite and least favorite feature about themselves ?: Favorite: He only has one dimple that appears when he smiles, which Miguel thinks is cool. Least Favorite: He sometimes thinks that he would look better without the mole on his face, as it’s just there.

PERSONALITY.

- Positive traits ?: Creative, Hardworking, Well-meaning, Passionate, & Protective - Negative traits ?: Defiant, Selfish, Rumbustious, Stubborn, & A bit Hot-Headed - What do they consider to be the best and the worst part of their personality ?: The best part of his personality is that Miguel will always try and do anything to make others smile. but the worst part is that once he has his mind set on something, he would also try and do anything for it, even if it may unintentionally hurt others in the process.  - Are they more extroverted or introverted ?: Extroverted - Any talents ?: Musically incline, especially vocally (self-taught) and with a guitar (also self-taught). Miguel is also a craftsman, as he built his own guitar from scratch and has the habit of creating little knick-knacks here and there. Also, he had to learn how to built shoes thanks to his familia’s business. - What are their fears ?: Having his familia discover his secret passion for music and reject him for it.  - Do they have any phobias ?: Thanatophobia – The fear of death - What is their soft spot ?: Miguel’s prima and best friend, Coco. He would literally do just about anything for her. - List 3 pet-peeves they can’t stand ?: 1.) “No music” 2.) Anyone insulting his familia 3.) Not being able to play music whenever he wants 

EDUCATION.

- How far did they go in school ? Are they still studying ?: Currently in college as a junior. - Do they like school ?: Yes, but mainly because going to school is one of the only few chances Miguel has to play music openly without his familia knowing (unless Abel or Rosa is around, then Miguel would have to continue to stay quite). - What type of student are they ?: Average. Tends to get B’s and C’s the majority of the time, with the occasional A- here and there. Only had 1 F, and that was in Chemistry back in his senior year of High School (had to re-take it during his freshman year in college).  - What is their favorite subject ?: Music Appreciation Communication - And their least favorite ?: Chemistry, and anything science in general to be honest. - What were they voted as “most likely to…” in the yearbook ?: “Most likely to stay and work in the family business.”

FAMILY.

- Who are your character’s parents ?: Enrique Rivera (Papá) and Luisa Rivera (Mamá) - How would your character describe them ?: Well-meaning, Supportive, kind-hearted, always trying to do what they think is best for the entire familia and overall loving.  - Do they have any siblings ?: In two months, Miguel will be the proud big brother of Socorro Rivera aka his baby sister. - Are they close with their family ?: Pfft, THE CLOSES ANY FAMILIA COULD BE!!!  

ROMANCE & SEXUALITY.

- What’s their romantic and sexual orientation ?: Open-minded, as Miguel has never had the time to focus on romance, so he doesn’t completely have a sense of what his orientation is. He is possibly demisexual? Panromantic-Demisexual?? Maybe?! - Are they seeing anyone right now ?: No, not romantically anyways. - Have they ever been in an relationship ?: Never, too busy working in the familia business and sneaking off to learn music to ever try and be in one. - Have they ever been in love ?: No. - How easy do they fall for someone ?: It depends? Miguel doesn’t often fall for looks, but if he is attracted to someone because of it, it is only the matter of finding something in common with them before he starts crushing. It needs to be a deep and personal kind of thing too, because otherwise Miguel may have a small crush or likeness to someone for a moment, but could then transfer it into a platonic feeling in the end. - In their view, why didn’t any past relationships work out ?: Lies and turning your back on the familia. - What do they look for in someone ?: Needs to like music. No offense to his familia, but Miguel does not think that he could date someone who hates music as much as his familia does. Doesn’t think he could handle it if that happens. It would be nice if the person also has a deep passion for something like he does, like it doesn’t have to be music but to know that someone can understand him and his passion and love for music would help him easily connect with that person. Not minding his familia is another bonus too, as at the end of the day Miguel cares about them all and would not be with someone who hates them. A good personality doesn’t hurt too, and some cute quirks maybe? - Do they believe in love at first sight ? or fate?: He would say neither, but if he had to choose then he would go with fate. He would rather believe that there was a reason behind why he fell in love with someone, than fall for someone over their looks. What’s their views on romance ? Do they go after it or avoid it ? He use to find it gross, but now Miguel thinks it’s kind of sweet. If two people are meant to be together, he would support it but romance is also a cautious thing for him thanks to what happened to his tía Imelda. - Did they have their first time already ? How was it in their point of view ?: Nope. Once again, Miguel does not have the time for romance, much less being intimate with someone. - What is their view on sex ?: It is okay? He has never experienced it, so he doesn’t exactly have an opinion on it? If he had to, it should be good for both partners, and not one over the other????? - What are their turn ons and turn offs ?: Passion! Just someone being passionate in general. Singing, I mean who wouldn’t want to see a lovely duet with their loved one? Singing in Spanish especially.  Hand touches, like once Miguel finds someone he will want to be affectionate with them even if he is a little awkward about it. As for turn offs, insulting his familia is the biggest one of all because once again, anyone who dislikes his familia is no future Rivera. - Were they ever cheated on or have they cheated on someone ?: Nope. - Do they want to get married in the future ?: Possibly. If he finds the right person. - Have kids ?: Nuh-uh.

QUIRKS.

- Are they right or left handed ?: Left, but trying to learn to be ambidextrous. - What’s a word that’s always on their lips ?: “Oi” - Is there a saying they keep on repeating ?: “Mi familia *insert*” , “-sigh- No music” and “I want to be a musician” - Do they curse ?: Sometimes - What’s their worst habit ?: Sneaking off late until the night, only to arrive back home to get two to three hours of sleep (almost daily). - Do they drink or smoke ? How frequently ?: Miguel would be smacked by a chancleta if he smoked, but he does drink. Normally on special occasions does he drink, or when he is just not in the mood to deal with anyone or anything. - Are they an early bird or a night owl ?: Both???!!! Generally, he is a night owl but his familia has a thing for waking up extra early in the day, so.... - How tidy is their room ?: It’s a mess, let’s leave it at that. - How long to they usually take getting ready in the morning ?: About ten to fifteen minutes flat. Thirty if he chose to shower, but he normally leaves that for the night since his days are always productive. 

FAVORITES.

- What’s their favorite color ?: Can never go wrong with red. - Favorite movie ?: Literally, just about any film that Ernesto de la Cruz had starred in. He is also a fan of The Pirates of the Caribbean franchise as well. - Music Genre ?: Latin and Country - Food ?: Tamales - Book ?: The Road by Cormac McCarthy - Favorite non-alcoholic drink ?: Piña Colada - Ice Cream Flavor ?: Horchata - Indoors or outdoors ?: Outdoors (only indoors when he is playing music, but even then he would rather much prefer to do so outdoors if he is allowed to)

marieruby respondeu seu post “I’m bored and I can’t write. Does any nonny or non-nonny want to talk?

How do you write so well in English? I mean, Portuguese is also my native language, but I almost exclusively write in English. Sometimes I think I'm doing a great job with my fics, and other times I just... baffled at the English language and everything seems wrong. Tips? Advices? Any general nonsense to help a gal out hahaha #socorro

dflksvd;ksa; assim você me deixa sem jeito

That feeling of “sometimes it’s great and sometimes it’s garbage”? I think every bilingual person has it. I certainly do. Sometimes I look at the sentences I write and I question my entire existence.

The best thing to do is read things written by native speakers and watch movies/TV shows in English with the subtitles in English. The subtitles, in this case, help a lot to grasp the finer details of each sentence structure. Soon enough, I’ll be able to reproduce what you read/hear. Want to know what’s funny? When you notice the subtitle in English is not what is being said. Or that the subtitle in Portuguese is simply wrong. Happens more often than it should.

The thing about languages is that they each have their own logic. Take the positioning of adjectives, for example. in Portuguese, it goes after the noun. In English, it’s always before.When you start to actively notice these differences, you start to internalize them.

although I will never ever be able to say “I don’t think so” instead of “I think not”

I guess the best tip/advice I can give is to keep writing in English, You shouldn’t worry if you’re doing it perfectly or not. We’re always learning and evolving anyway, so if someone has a problem with how you write in English now, they are welcome to talk to you about in Portuguese. Let’s see how well they fair ;)

Don’t forget that, as writers, we each have our own styles. Sometimes the mix of our native language and the language we’re writing in results in an amazing style that isn’t technically correct but it’s still fascinating to read. In writing, there isn’t always a right or wrong.

[rosyscorp]

Every time I type “Scorpio” it auto corrects to “Socorro” in Portuguese which means help…seems accurate.

Essential Travel Tips ForPortugal Tour

Portugal is a magnificent travel destination for all the travel aficionados out there with its wonderful beaches, fabulous city scapes, welcoming locals, and the delightful European cooking. If you are wandering to Portugal for the first time, you will absolutely fall in love with the place. Choose Villa or Apartments in Algarve to stay in Portugal. If you are planning to travel toPortugal, then pick the rental hotels. Holiday rentals Portugal Albufeira is the right for you and your family. Because it gives excellent space with marvelous amenities.

Travel Guidelines For Portugal:

If you are planning a trip, follow the safety precautions. The traveling guide helps you find the most authentic parts of the country, escape the crowds, and get even more for your budgets.

Brush up on some Portuguese vocabulary:

Even though English is widely spoken in Algarve, Lisbon, and Porto, it’s a good idea to not assume that everyone you meet will speak it. And, there can be fewer English speakers outside these major places. Become familiar with the Portuguese basics like bom dia/tarde/noite (good morning/afternoon/night) in addition to special words like socorro (meaning help) and ajude-me (help me).

Keep an eye on personal items:

While travelers should always save on their private items like purses and backpacks, it is important to maintain this in mind in the more tourist-filled spots. Don’t place purses on the floor, specifically while sitting at café terraces. Holiday Rentals in Algarve provides safety lockers for its customers.

Remember the number 112:

This is Portugal’s 911 numbers that will get you in contact with the police and emergency medical services. When you need an ambulance, 112 is the number to call and it’s also free from all phones.
