also rewatching these episodes now.... makes me think of all the ppl that blame roberta for the ~paola phase ~ and that say stuff like 'well roberta is crying now, but if paola is here its her own fault! if she hadnt done her stupid jokes abt diego this never wouldve happened' and just in general being shitty assholes blaming her for the way diego treats her. its even worse now that im rewatching bc like - roberta only did this bc diego is actively trying to sabotage her own life and her own relationships. not only trying, he actually manages to do it! he drives a rly cool guy that roberta genuinely likes and that likes her back and would probably NOT lie to her like every other fucking boyfriend she has away bc of his pride alone. but when roberta is bothered abt paola and the actually, genuinely concerning aspects of their rl as well as the shit way diego treats her, well, thats her own fault??????????????? fuck offffffffff

Ainda passa Malhação? Ainda existe Malhação?

[humanmostlikely]

Need a story that starts out like the usual teen girl falling for the supernatural douchebag prince/alpha e-reads, but instead of falling in love with him, she realizes how possessive and controlling he is, overthrows him, and everyone appreciates her for that. And she falls in love with a girl whose actually a good person.

Faybelle Thorn Headcanons:

Her full name is Faybelle Arabella Raette Thorn. Her middle names come from the First Dark Fairy and her grandmother respectively.

She shares a very loving relationship with her mother. The Dark Fairy had Faybelle when she was relatively young and devoted almost all of her energy into raising her. In turn, Faybelle looks up to her mom, wants to make her proud, and will curse anyone who says a word against her.

Her father died before she was born. She doesn’t know how, but she knows it wasn’t a natural death.

She and Ginger had known each other since childhood, but they weren’t exactly friends. They only played together because their moms were friends. The one thing Faybelle really liked about Ginger was her baking.

Faybelle hates Raven for being more powerful than her and for going against what she views as a great and powerful legacy. But she also hates the Queens in general for shaming the Dark Fairy Legacy. The Evil Queen had tampered with Sleeping Beauty’s curse, overpowering dark fairy magic and leaving Faybelle’s mom a laughingstock. 

Fairies live longer than humans, dark fairies especially. Faybelle’s mother was practically still a teenager when she had her, but it was more out of necessity because of the Evil Queen’s meddling. 

She has a huge sweet tooth.

She’s a massive dog lover. She talks to her pet pom-pom Spindle like he’s a baby and absolutely spoils him, even if he’s insanely aggressive to everyone except her.

Faybelle has had a crush on Briar since they were kids. She’d never tell anyone because of her destiny, but it’s the main reason why she teases Briar. 

Her wings are extremely sensitive, and she does not allow anyone to touch them.

She has a pair of tree-like horns that grow insanely fast. She loves them, but she clips them and hides them under her hair because they snag on everything. She hopes to grow them out once she can figure out how to slow their growth.

She was roommates with Duchess during her freshman year. It’s how they met. They have a very competitive relationship and trade playful insults with each other, but they will defend one another if someone else goes after them.

She likes watching teen dramas and spell-a-novelas unironically. She’s one of those people who cries over them with ice cream. 

She claims she’s the cousin of movie star Spella Thorne. No one is convinced.

In addition to cheerhexing, she also teaches step to spellementary school kids. 

Faybelle has been taught to control her magic from a young age. She knows more evil spells than Raven (though Raven is more powerful) and has access to incurable curses. She prefers to cast curses with an escape clause, though. Having no cure takes the fun out of these things.

She doesn’t like physical contact unless she initiates it. 

She’s surprisingly good with kids but is a horrible influence. She’s been blacklisted as a babysitter. 

Despite building up a reputation as an unapologetic mean girl with a constant need to feel included, she doesn’t know how to make friends any other way. She believes the only way people will notice her is if she makes them notice her, and this almost always backfires.

Idk maybe im in my delulu era or being too optimistic but i think sydcarmy is gonna have their first kiss this season by the last episode like in my mind makes sense cause ive watched a serie that also had this will they won't they dinamic and the antis were like "they are platonic, they're friends, sibling vibes" and all the blablabla and in my head their story has other similarities with sydcarmy and by the end of s3 they kissed after a lot of disbelief, exes and miscommunication and if anyone is wondering im talking abt hstmts which is a silly show but they made a really good teen romance at it like i wasn't expecting what i saw from a disney teen show anywayyy they finally had their moment in the season finale so yeah im hopeful that sydcarmy will follow the same path, I think later im gonna write abt Ricky and Gina and explain why i think they're so similar to sydcarmy, honestly i think i see sydcarmy everywhere now 🤣 they are in the keith and watts dinamic, they are in a disney teen show, in a netflix italian teen show, they are in a novela couple i watched, they are in richonne, anyway i need them to happen

Some of you are being really weird about Aura Maria in regards to her treatment of Freddy and her overall character\personality traits. Overall, if you dislike a character its fine. It means nothing to me. But these posts about Aura Maria are getting a little misogynistic.

The facts are, that yes--she is immature, she does string Freddy along, she is very extroverted and charismatic and a lot of men like her.

You know who else is immature, strings someone around, is very extroverted and charismatic and a lot of women like them?

This guy right here.He's gonna string around his assistant for at least half a novela.

But there's already some excellent meta on Aura Maria and Freddy vs Betty and Armando and u can read them here and here. so I'm not gonna get into that.

Again, if you don't like Aura Maria thats fine. She's a flawed character in a show with other flawed characters. I don't like Patricia, for example. I think she's annoying, she's mean, her goal is to find a man to fix all her problems and she fails at it. She's immature. She's classist. She gets paid 3x more than the other secretaries bc she's a nepo hire and yet still can't make any payments bc she's terrible with money. I could go and on.

But a lot of you like her and sympathize with her and her problems and how nobody wants to help her.

Aura Maria is also sympathetic character. She became a teen mom. The guy that got her pregnant is not in the kid's life nor in hers. She's a receptionist at a company who's alternate slogan is 'women don't advance here'. Her parents kick her and her son out, yes it was a consequence of Aura Maria's party girl antics. But that's not a good enough reason to kick out your daughter and grandson. Knowing that she's a receptionist and doesn't make much money to begin with.

And then the Mario of it all. No, she shouldn't have gotten involved with him but he's the one in the position of power. He shouldn't have gotten involved with her, he shouldn't have encouraged it, nor should he have been seeing her and Patricia at the same time. Both women who work where HE works. And who does he want to fire when he gets caught? Aura Maria. She's the one who gets the low end of the stick.

Aura Maria and Patricia are looking for men with money to support them and don't do well in this endeavor bc the only man that looks like a prospect is using them in some way. That or the men they encounter don't take them seriously.

Freddy likes Aura Maria and yeah she does like him but she doesn't take him seriously as a prospect bc he's not rich and when you're a poor young single mom--bc REMINDER Aura Maria is in her early 20s forced to grow up quickly (she was a child having a child)--living in your friend's\co workers house--he doesn't completely fulfill her list of requirements of what she needs financially. She's not looking at the full picture. Much like Patricia, who doesn't look at the full picture when it comes to her transactional relationship with Nicolas.

So because Aura Maria mismanges her relationship with Freddy, I'm supposed to what? Have her burned at the stake? That because Freddy is kind to her, and does things out of his own free will over and over again, that Aura Maria needs to be devoted to him? Automatically? Because people think she owes him?

If you don't like Aura Maria, that's fine. But a lot of the posts I've seen in the general tag are past not liking a character bc the vibes are off--it's becoming about hating her bc she's not reciprocating to one guy bc you think he's earned it. Or it's about her not being a good mother bc she's not acting 'like a mother'. And want to see her punished for it as a result, as if getting sexually harassed by Gutierrez (ON TWO OCCASIONS) isn't punishment on it's own.

Because reminder (again)---that Mario AND Gutierrez have taken advantage of Aura Maria in some way bc of their position of power. Bc Aura Maria is young, beautiful, and poor. She can be easily be taken advantage of and tossed away. (Much like another character who gets utilized as a consequence of financial fraud)

But Freddy is the true victim in all of this bc Aura Maria sometimes take advantage of his kindness. Do you realize how dumb that sounds?

There is a double standard in how Aura Maria is being viewed bc she's not acting grateful or humble or self sacrificing enough to gain sympathy. She's being judged solely on how she's treating (1) man and not about all the other factors she's living in--some of them out of her control.

If one can feel bad for Patricia even tho it's primarily her fault that she's in the predicaments she's in, then I don't see why one can't extend that same grace to Aura Maria.

Barca's teen drama telenovela moment with Cellbit 🥰

Reading the chat: Now you know players from France, Brazil and Portugal

Barca: [*corrects himself*] "You will meet" Oh shit! Are there going to be players from France, Bra-...? What the hell! Hey, give me a summary, I only saw that someone who was going to play was-... Look I-..., look, if Cellbit's there that's enough for me dude... I met him at TwitchCon, the dude is very handsome... He was at TwitchCon and suddenly he opened the door for me... dude it was like my novela... We were-... We were at TwitchCon, I was there very cool, very happy in Las Vegas when suddenly someone opened the door for me, I turned around to say "thank you very much [muchas tenkius]" and then I saw that beard uff... that beard of his... just saying... dude i even want-... I wanted to talk to him but the truth is I didn't know-... I didn't know what language to speak to him in... I used a little bit of everything "hey bro, thank you very much [Ey manito, thank you, muchas gracias]"... I didn't know what else to say to him but... I just said "thank you" and that's it.. And then he left with Quackity to who knows where, they were there together, obviously I greeted this bald guy and then they went to gamble, the gambling addicts were there in Vegas what else could they do?

I guess that's the effect Cellbit has on people 🫴

Sorry, I just thought it was funny how he said it 😶‍🌫️

Undernovela after 6 years

Today on stream someone kind lightheartedly mentioned my old Undertale AU Undernovela, and I was so surprised, i became very flustered. !!!

It was hard to get all the right words out, and I keep thinking I didn't say enough. so here's some ramblies on the blog, because this IS a blog after all.

So, if you're not aware, I used to have an AU for undertale that was basically "what if the story, but it was dramatic like a hispanic novela." Because if you're still familiar with my art over in @pigdemonart you know that I still obsess over making art inspired by my upbringing and culture.

However, Undernovela was a short-lived project. On stream I told the story of why I stopped drawing for the AU and why I pretty much disconnected from it and the fandom.

I told the story like I usually do, and explained how at the time I became really bitter with how the fandom treated me and the story. I was a Hispanic person just trying to have fun with this goofy concept, making a story purely for other Latinos.

I think whenever I reminisced on 2016 or trusted someone enough to talk about this, I focused heavily on the negatives.

Its hard for me not to think of that time as a negative memory -- at the time I was battling depression and my relationship with my art really suffered for it. And the criticism I would get for the comic I was making, be it justified or not, weighed heavier than the positive ones.

It was also one of my first time getting online attention, and seeing notes fluctuate put a damper on my mood even worse. Not to mention, I struggled with how a lot of ignore white Americans wanted to join in on the "joke," and the nuances that were obvious to people who watched novelas all their life, were lost on them. I try not to hold contempt for those people, as most of us were in our early to late teens in Undertale at that time. But I hated to think I was a gateway to them being openly racy against my own community. Who knows?

Regardless, in spite of all that, I think I'm doing those memories a disservice by thinking of it ONLY so pitifully. It was also a very precious time -- it was my first time making comics consistently, it was the first time so many other Latinamericans across North/South America and the Caribbean reached out to me online. I felt understood, and part of a niche community within a community. Undertale Fandom was so immense, I feared the pressure to perform, but being a much smaller AU really made it feel safer. I felt creative and inspired and happy to be Latino, and that is a good precious feeling.

So yes, while I did make the decision to disconnect, and I think that was for the better, I'm glad to be playing Undertale again with @bunnyangeltuber because I'm reminded what inspired me to make the AU in the first place and what continues to inspire me to create.

That being said, I will still cringe at some of the jokes I wrote. Like why were so many characters either mafioso or a mariachi guy?? beats past pig up with a shovel

FANÁTICO - The references + Argentinian Politics

So, Lali released a new single called "FANÁTICO" and if you are out of the loop like I was this, you'd think this is another video calling out haters like a lot of artists do.

TURNS OUT, it's directed at a very important person in Argentina at the moment, and everyone should be talking about it.

I'll list all the silly references I was able to get and all the info I was able to find on the video undercut. If you see something wrong or know something else, feel free to add more info.

FANÁTICO's lyrics in English

WHO THE FUCK IS LALI?

Okay, first thing is first: Who is Lali?

Lali (Mariana Espósito) is an Argentinian singer who began her career in acting in the Cris Morena novela "Ricón de Luz". Her biggest role was in "Casi Angéles" where she belonged to a band called Teen Angels.

In 2022, she came out as Bi and she also sang the national anthem of Argentina at the World Cup in Qatar

Not only that but she's probably one of the biggest - if not the biggest - Argentinian pop artists at the moment.

SILLY REFERENCES

Now, back to the MV, let's start with silly and unrelated references to Argentina politics I was able to catch.

It says "Day 33". Lali is turning 33 this year.

The nun is a reference to a character she played in a novela called "Esperanza Mía".

I'm not sure about this one, but her style of clothing reminds me of Dolly Parton

The bodyguard has a necklace that says "Disciplina" one of Lali's songs from the last album

The dress and hair are a reference to Miley Cyrus' "Flowers". Lali has referenced her multiple times and says she has a crush on her.

While this dude walks in she mentions her song "Disciplina" again which is about BDSM, so I think that's what this is referencing to.

WHO THE FUCK IS MILEI?

If you don't know who Javier Milei is, allow me to introduce him to you.

Milei is the current president of Argentina. He is the head of a right/extreme-right wing party called the Partido Libertário.

After Milei won the elections, Lali expressed her sadness and he said he only listened to Rolling Stones and that he didn't know who Lali is

"Lali Espósito is sad about the victor of Javier Milei, and he replies with: I only hear Rolling Stones

The Argentine actress expressed her displeasure after the victory of the leader of La Libertad Avanza in the primary elections. “Sorry, I don’t know who she is,” the politician replied."

His political party was also responsible for spreading Fake News about Lali (claiming she was leaving the country or she was living of the government's money)

"The new fake news from Javier Milei's trolls against Lali Espósito: they are obsessed

Troll accounts, endorsed by the President of the Nation himself, once again invented fake news to attack Lali Espósito."

MILEI LYRICS REFERENCES

Some of these references I couldn't get on my own so here's a link with sources

Referring to the fact he claimed to not know her, but he can't shut up about it

(also, even if it was true... dude... you have to know your country's biggest stars as a president. you have to know about culture to be able to to manage its funds)

Reference to the times he has liked anti-lali posts

A reference to Lali saying he is is unfair and violent and inviting him to one of her shows.

MILEI VISUAL REFERENCES

This is not just about Milei, but I didn't know where else to put it.

A reference to Milei claiming to not know Lali

Iñaki Gutierréz worked for the government and has called Lali a "delinquent", but also claimed he's not an idiot and her music is good. Thus the wardrobe change.

This man wearing a leather jacket is a direct reference to Milei. They are around the same age, Milei wears leather jacktes, and this actor is imitating his way of screaming. Here's Milei screaming at a VOX meeting (far right movement in Spain):

unrelated but Vox has annexed Portugal in their campaigns and as a Portuguese person I feel the need to tell them to fuck off

in a "blink and you'll miss it" moment, we see a girl wearing a Rolling Stones t-shirt with the Argentinian colors

Also, the Libertários (the supporters of Milei's Party) have called her Lali "Depósito" (storage), and that's why the whole MV is in a storage room. You can see some of their marketing on that using AI-generated images here

MARKETING OF THE SONG

Surprisingly, this song just.... dropped.

Well... not really.

A couple of days before the song was released, a poster of Lali showed up in the streets of Buenos Aires.

The following day, it was vandalized

People began speculating and the next day she announced a new single to her upcoming album. With the release of the MV, it was revealed she did it.

Also, I think that's supposed to be a reference to something, but I couldn't find anything.

If I missed anything, let me know ;)

Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

Nope, I always wanna respond but then I get the Anxiety and then too much time passed so answering now would be weird and rinse repeat for every single comment.

What is a fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

If we're talking just ending, then I'd say either Voicemail, Treacherous Nature or Meeting The Parents.

What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending? I write a lot of romcoms, so Not Mad About It, you make it look easy, On the down low

Do you get hate on fics? Nope, but sometimes I get unsolicited criticism.

Do you write smut? If so, what kind? Yes and idk what kind? Kinky stuff, love-making, hate fucking, bad lame cringy sex, you name it, I've written.

Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written?

I've written a Fast&Furious/SPN crossover oneshot that I really liked and a The Vampire Diaries/Teen Wolf one shot too, but I dont write crossovers anymore and it has to be really well set up for me to read one.

Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Yep!

Skloom

What’s a WIP you want to finish, but doubt you ever will?

Anything Bloom comes to mind, because I just can't find the motivation. Between The Lines because I doubt anyone would be interested and I made my peace with it long ago. Cabin Fever because canon kinda fucked me sideways with this and I'm very into sticking to the canon.

What are your writing strengths?

Channeling characters motivations and voices. Writing the body language of characters.

What are your writing weaknesses? Writing group scenes, descriptions of mundane activities, graphic whump without falling into melodrama, making the world my characters are in feel real and not like a novela.

Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic? All for it, and I dont think a translation is even necessary right next to it, if the context is strong enough to give us the understanding. Add the full translation at the end notes though.

[frociaggina97]

hay un en twitter escribiendo un algo sobre como el status teen cambio acá de la cosa europea y yanki al contenido asiático y del medio oriente (de decir esta remera de forever 21 o la cosa esta de londres a estos mangas, la photocard de yoongi, lo que sea que esta pasando con las novelas turcas y coreanas en el pais)

[disgracedmilfman]

In spite of everything, I do still want to learn Spanish, and my ex recommended I watch novelas while we were still dating to pick it up faster. I really doubt it's gonna help because these people talk fucking fast, but I'm going to give it a shot anyway.

I picked Maria La Del Barrio just for that *kills you in Spanish* screenshot, and this villain intro from episode 1 is insane. Crying in the club. Vowing vengeance on all women. I feel myself getting locked in.

Side note: Watching things in parts on Youtube is delightful bc it reminds me of watching Naruto in 3 parts as a teen

Top 5 worst shows you’ve seen

fun fact about me: i don’t have that much time or attention span to watch most shows so i get very picky with watching shows (specifically shows since obviously they take longer to watch) 😅 also i tend to only remember shows i enjoy since i don’t like to focus on bad pieces of media

i don’t remember enough bad shows i’ve watched to make a top 5 (sorry 😞) so here’s just me talking about two shows that are like… bad in different ways:

Cielo Grande/Secrets of Summer

I don’t know if I already said on Tumblr how bored I was from this show, but everything was just so boring 😭 Even the songs which are normally the BEST part of these badly-written telenovelas.

Part of why a lot of teen novelas have music is to create a soundtrack for viewers to be able to still engage with the franchise even without watching the long ass shows. The songs in this show were a bunch of wannabe-feel-good acoustic guitar friendship songs.

Other than that, the writing is not good (kinda forced and because of the much MUCH shortened show format, very rushed). I mentioned to my friend how I couldn’t believe they made a teen drama bad and boring at the same time.

A show also doesn’t need to stand out or be extraordinary to be good, but this one just fell flat.

(I seem very angry toward this show, but I prefer bad over boring in terms of entertainment)

Miraculous Ladybug

This show is ANNOYINGLY entertaining and also ANNOYINGLY stupid. I’m too tired to write a long essay about why this show is bad, but it’s mainstream so people know why it’s bad. Marinette (as much as I love her and Christina Vee’s incredible voice acting) was toxic, many characters’ arcs were wasted potential, and the hopeful plot was ruined by the execution.

Those two shows aren’t even bad per se, but I just don’t like watching shows if either they’re irredeemably bad or don’t intrigue me, so I don’t have any to rant about.
