I got a tribunal assigned (finally) to submit paperwork for Argentinian citizenship along with my husband and I'm elated.
At the same time I feel odd, like I'm in this weird limbo of not belonging but tagged in a weird mess of "you're, but you're not until we say so".
To provide context, I'm Venezuelan and this year has been a fucking drag, specially after the phony elections that happened back in July 28th. Not going to go into the specifics but as a Venezuelan, I'm sure many can relate to the feeling of not wanting to be associated with the country and a deep sadness because of the state of things and wanting everyone to be aware of the shitshow that's has been going on for more than 25 years already. Not being able to EVER come back, to have family trapped back there, to not being able to even use your documentation because you're instantly stigmatized and denied basic stuff outside of Venezuela.
... And then the guilt, of being given the opportunity to belong in a way, elsewhere, and to have to shed many things in the spiritual and literal sense to become a citizen of another country.
I guess I'm happy. But can this shitty feeling get off me?

Thank you @lucien-lachance for the tag. You can all drop in if you like too.
-Do you play an instrument?
I don’t, I have a big piano but I don’t really have much of a musical bone in my body. I just sing for fun when I am alone.
-Favourite Book characters?
Haven’t really read any books recently since I don’t have the patience to do so. But I guess if mangas count then it’s the feral ninja femboy from One Punch Man.
-What’s your Starsign?
Aries
-Favorite Colour Scheme?
Anything with cold colours like cyan and green but I also love red and metallic colours even if I render with more saturated colours.
-Naps or Long sleep?
Long sleep. If I wake up too early I get a stomach ache and I can’t really take nap unless I’m sick.
-What languages do you speak?
French, English and Spanish. I’m both Canadian and Venezuelan so language is something I sorta take pride in. My Spanish is a little rusty (I can understand well it’s speaking that needs work) because I don’t use it that often but I hold it dear so I try to improve it. I am proud of my Venezuelan heritage and I won’t hide it. Music, Food, History, etc, I try to learn as much from family members. And I really really miss them. (also if you want me to personally translate any Hispanic song then I’d love to 👀)
-Dreams/aspirations?
Currently? Getting accepted into a 3D modelling/animation program for college and/or university. It’s difficult to get into but I work hard to succeed. I also really want to eventually make a silly Oblivion Let’s Play à la Wilburgur with my own brand of insanity, I already drafted some stuff.
As for Dreams, I want to travel outside the Americas and go see ruins and natural landmarks across the globe. And I also want to pet a shark, just pat the snoot.
-Long Hair of Short Hair?
Short hair all the way, I can’t with long hair. However I’m gonna let my hair grow so I can dye it black and perhaps cosplay as Lucien Lachance at a comic con.
-Tea or Coffee?
Tea, I really don’t like Coffee. The smell and the bitter taste really puts me off. Tea is good both hot and icy.
-Bring a Book character to life or go into a fictional world.
I think I’d just go into a fictional world because if I bring any of my faves to life the world will burn.
#personal#were my fellow Venezuelans at?#I mean half Venezuelan but still#does anyone want me to share that let’s play draft tho

Take a look at this, what a slap in the wrist and you are right about that user, she really is despicable and rotten
Whoa! That's a pretty long row of words for someone who came to a (properly tagged) post where I talked about Zutara and Venezuela just to say this:
And who answered to an Anon like this:
Awwwww! Thinking about me, honey? 😘 Don't flatter yourself tho, my mom taught me to not give significance to the insignificant ones ☺️. I guess you just made a lot of people mad.
Besides, that ask was there before they replied and then reblogged my posts.
Maybe they were feeling guilty since that ask came after they sent me the thing about Venezuelans not having showers. What was left of their conscience must have been bugging them.
But it's all about ✨respect✨ and ✨coexisting✨, right?
See, I don't care enough about that person to make a campaign against them. I'm just a little astonished, and I'm starting to have a little more faith in popular sayings from my country: Si escupes para arriba, en la cara te va a caer.
They want to have a Zuko-style redemption now? Cool, it just happens that I live in reality, not in fiction, and even in fiction Zuko acknowledged his mistakes aloud, humiliated himself in front of them, and personally apologized and compensated the people he wronged; compared to that, Queenaleesnake's redemption still falls a bit flat, and I'll happily be the angry Katara here. Just like her, I am right to be angry.
#antikataang#antiqueenaleesbiggestfan-writes#zutara#because NOW i am suggesting you to block them#i should have made this post a long time ago

6 random Facts
I was tagged by my dear friends @567inpanem and @mega-aulover for the 6 random facts challenge. I’m supposed to tag 10 people as well.
1- I hate watermelon 🍉. I can’t stand how the juice smells after it dries up, and you know how a watermelon juice will go EVERY FREAKING WHERE!
2- I spoke 3 languages when I was a kid. But I forgot one of them from lack of practice. I only have random words of the third language left.
3- The husband and I used to go on 3 day trips all over the world before having children. We just started traveling again with the kiddos, but it’s EXPENSIVE!
4- I’m Venezuelan, but I’ve been asked if I’m Middle Eastern, Indian, French, Portuguese... My paternal grandmother was of Native descend, my maternal great grandmother was French (which I guess I could claim after all) and my maternal grandfather was black. I think I look very Hispanic though.
5- I flunked P.E. on my freshman year of high school. I had to take remedial classes over the summer before the next school year started.
6- I love cooking. I hate washing dishes.
I tag the following people: @papofglencoe, @superchocovian, @butrfac14, @dandeliononfire, @everlarkedalways, @gabzep, @hutchhitched, @jlalafics, @javistg and @xerxia31
If there is someone else who wants to do it but hadn’t been tagged, please, share with us!

(Your Kisses) Taste like Come what May
Excerpt:
“I promise you will love her. She’s funny, smart, absolutely gorgeous–Just one date is all I am asking.”
“What has gotten into you all of a sudden. Is this girl on the run from ICE or something?”
“Armie asked me to marry him.”
Ben felt his world collapsing. His mild amusement long forgotten under the weight of a thousand unspoken words, missed opportunities, and imagined confessions.
Rose’s voice seemed to come from far away. "Ben? Aren’t you going to say anything?“
Ben swallowed, forced his throat to produce sounds other than screaming, or worse, a sob. Oddly, when his mouth felt capable of speech, it was a faint rasp, no hint of the tempest which roiled within. "Congratulations. You deserve to be happy.”
o-o-o-o-o-o
Summary:
Ben, Rose and Hux grew up together. Ben loves Rose, but Rose and Hux are together. After Rose and Hux become engaged, Rose tries to set Ben up with her friend Rey. He reluctantly agrees to go on a date.
Chapter 1
Chapter 2
Chapter 3
A step over the threshold and the familiar creaking of wood, weakened by time and salt-air, and aroma of hearty chowder and ale engulfing his senses, Ben knew he made the right choice.
Nestled between a trendy Korean tapas place and a shoe repair shop with flaking blue paint Ben could recall from his childhood, Takodana was sedate even on a Saturday night. Eclectic knick knacks ranging from a Rico Petrocelli bobblehead, a 1984 Bruce Springsteen poster yellowing at the edges, a carved wooden mask allegedly depicting a warrior of Venezuelan origin, to vibrant weavings of alpaca wool, lined the walls and cluttered the entrance way. Questionable decor aside, the whiskey, unpretentious beef stew, fries and a decent chowder on the menu had long ago made it Ben's favorite bar.
The proprietress, Maz, eyed him from beneath thick rimmed glasses and a bevy of judgement as he slipped into his favorite booth across from the bar. "Ben Solo," she drawled, giving little reassurance in either tone or posture, hands on hips and brow arched.
"Hey Maz," he greeted warily, as Maz stepped from behind the counter.
At last the petite lady put him out of his misery. "I ran into your mother the other day. Said you haven't been home since Christmas."
Right. It wasn't like Ben was avoiding his mother, at least, anymore than usual. After quitting his job, and getting away from Snoke's insidious manipulations, it had been cathartic almost, reconciling with his mother and Uncle. your father would be proud, his mother's voice hoarse with tears of grief and pride. As lovely and neat as the story would appear on the cover or told over dinner parties when his mother was three Merlots in and giving him meaningful, tearful glances--prodigal son returned home and joined his mother's firm--things were still a bit strained. Their specialties of law differing as they did, weeks could go by without seeing his mother at the office. Ben made a concerted effort to call his mother once a month, or at least have Kaydel order her flowers or a bottle of wine when he couldn't bring himself to. "I've just been busy," he mumbled, unable to summon even a modicum of coolness in the face of such obvious disapproval.
Maz tutted at the flimsy excuse, but seemed to relent slightly, moving back toward the bar. "It'll be the usual then?"
"Yeah."
Silence reigned but for the hub of other patrons chatting and the slight clink of glass as Maz's weathered hands deftly prepared his usual starting drink, an old fashioned.
Maz brought him his drink, laying it down on a lacy, crocheted coaster. "You want the stew? I also have a Saturday Chowder."
Ben twitched a smile. "What makes it a Saturday Chowder again?"
"It's Saturday, isn't it?"
"So just the regular chowder then?"
The spry old lady made a swatting motion with a ladle nowhere near impacting him. "Don't be fresh with me, Benjamin Organa Solo."
"Oh I wouldn't dare." Ben took a savoring sip of his old-fashioned. It was perfect as always.
Maz was shaking her head, a gleam in her eye that should have been a warning of the subject she had been warming up to. "Just like your father, you are."
Ben forced himself to keep his shoulders from tensing. It was easier now, breath in, breath out. When he spoke, however, none of the grief and anger that had once roiled like an summer storm within him escaped. "I guess so."
"You should go next week, Ben." Maz's voice was so very gentle. "Your mother needs you."
"I'll think about it." Ben cleared his throat. A burning feeling was crawling up his chest to gouge his eyes. A judicious sip of his drink doused it slightly, but a distraction was welcome. "I'll think about the Saturday chowder too. Hux is joining me though, so I'll wait for him to order."
"Alright then."
After a brief pat against his shoulder, Maz went to attend to a middle aged couple across the bar, and Ben was left alone.
Three gnomes and a tarnished silvery ash tray shaped like a crab on the table beside him were his only company. Ben spared them a slight smile touched with nostalgia. The crab shaped ashtray had been a favorite as a child, tagging along with his Dad to Takodana on sweltering afternoons. A whiff of tobacco, his father's gravely voice and lopsided smile, Don't tell your mother we came here instead of the zoo.
Ben had never minded. Maz gave him coloring books and the best lemonade, sweating over lace doilies. Uncle Chewie would drop by, ruffle his hair and tell stories about Mara, the Chieftain of Coquivacoa, who fought the Spanish Conquistadores, or of stomping through the rainforests of Java, weakened by Dengue fever and harangued by monkeys.
There was the sound of the bell ringing, a familiar red head ducking beneath a bright colored talisman. Dark circles starkly shadowed Hux's steely green eyes, but he still lit up in a smile as his long strides brought him to the seat across Ben.
"Solo, sorry for running late. Rose was piqued at the sudden boys night, and decided to distract me until I divulged the nature of our evening. Alas, despite her efforts I kept mum." Hux regarded him with raised eyebrows, a satisfied grin softening the highhanded tone.
Ben tried not to think too hard about the nature of the "distraction," while remarking dryly, "Easy enough when I haven't told you anything to divulge."
Hux remained unfazed. "I had high expectations the lovely Rey would be featured."
Absurd though the impulse was, Ben felt a current of displeasure to hear his friend say her name so casually. "You've met her?"
"Of course. Rose has had her over several times. As a fellow countryman, naturally I approve, but she's delightful company and holds her liquor well."
He thought back to the other night, of Rey, six drinks in straddling his face as he ate her out. "That she does."
Old friends that they were, Hux allowed the topic to drop momentarily, waving over an only too happy Maz to place his order.
Food orders taken (Saturday chowder for Ben, the stew for Hux, with fries to share), Maz drew a IPA from the tap, while fixing her eager sights on Hux. "'heard you finally made an honest woman of your girl. Congratulations, dear. Shame Rose couldn't come tonight."
Hux grinned back, the same beatific look he'd been sporting ever since Rose accepted his proposal lightening his naturally haughty features. It was easier to focus on his glass and slowly diluting brown liquid as the ice melted, than Hux cheerfully accepting Maz's congratulations. "--tonight's just us. Rose sends her love." Shooting Ben a wink he could do without, Hux continued slyly, "Perhaps next time we'll be back on a double date."
Fuck.
Maz swiveled with super human speed to bring the full throttle of her bespectacled gaze upon himself. "Started seeing someone?" She cooed with feigned casualness than fooled no one. Already Ben could sense the gears turning--Maz wasn't one for smartphones, but in the next 24 hours he imagined she would be calling on his mother for tea, or using Takodana's ancient rotary if she deemed the matter too pressing.
While glaring at an unrepentant Hux, Ben hurried to deescalate the conversation. "It's nothing serious. Hux is just giving me a hard time."
The man himself merely smiled innocently. "Rose made it sound different. Perhaps I misunderstood."
Maz seemed a little disappointed, if skeptical, but she left them to bring their orders to the kitchen.
Finally left alone, Hux dropped all pretense. "Sorry, I had to tease you a little. But you know Rey would love this place."
Rey would fit right in to Takodana. It was easy to imagine Rey cozying across the booth, a tequila neat or a Belgian white ale in hand, cheeks flushed and hair loose as she gossiped with Maz and laughed too loud with Rose. She would love hearing Uncle Chewie's tales that sounded half like fiction. He could imagine her asking in that charming lilt about all the odd bops and bits in the shop, and telling her about the time he spilled a customer's beer over the velour bar seat or the time first he snuck a sip of alcohol and Dad had just laughed and Dad--
Dad would have loved her.
"Yeah, she would.""Ben..." He glanced up at the rather serious tone, and solemn look Hux was sporting. "Did you mean that? About it being nothing serious."
Did he mean it? He thought of Rose, smiling sadly as she told him, So do you, you know. Of Rey's knowing hazel eyes. You have feelings for Rose, don't you?
"I don't know," he admitted.
There was a sound of huffed laughter from his side. "Dude, you have it bad."
Ben grimaced. "Please, don't say Dude."
"Hombre."
"Please stop talking."
"Homie?"
The next couple hours passed in a blur of warm food and easy conversation. Hux let Ben off the hook for the most part on the subject of Rey. After Hux had drunkenly complained about the wedding planning for thirty minutes--"Why do we need to have a rehearsal dinner and a wedding? Why must the party favors match the bridesmaid dresses?"-- Ben surprised himself by bringing it up. Although, alcohol likely had somewhat to do with it.
"I don't know what to do about Rey."
"You should just call her, mate," Hux slurred with exasperation.
"And say what?" he snapped back.
Hux shrugged. "I like you. I want to date you? Doesn't seem all that complicated."
"Easy for you to say," he muttered under his breath. His head felt muddled under the weight of alcohol and confusion of his emotions. "On our date, I told her that I'm not looking for a serious relationship."
"And?"
"And now I don't know what to do." Hux was poised to argue again, so Ben cut him off hastily, "I don't know what I want to do."
After a moment's pause, Hux rubbed his face blearily. "Look, Ben, I think you're overthinking this. How do you know she's looking for a serious relationship? She's what, 25 years old? If you want to see her, tell her you want to see her. If you want to date her, tell her that."
That seemed...reasonable.
Hux was right. He didn't have to have everything figured out just yet.
If he wanted to see Rey again, then he should just ask her.
Which was how he found himself standing on the corner as he waited for his cab, dialing Rey's number.
It rang a few times, a length sufficient for Ben's anxiety to stir to life restlessly, before a sleepy voice answered at the last ring.
"Hello?"
"It's Ben."
"Ben!" The voice sounded much more awake now. There was a low chuckle that sent a warm, molten pulse through his veins. She must have been sleeping. Ben wondered idly if Rey slept bare as she had in his company, or if she wore a ratty t-shirt over panties, if her nipples pressed through the thin fabric. His fantasies were interrupted by Rey continuing with obvious amusement, "I was following the advice of all those Just Seventeen magazines I read growing up, and planned to text you in the morning. Seems like it paid off."
"Oh." Ben considered this information for a moment. "I read mostly read F&SF. The fantasy and science fiction magazine. They didn't offer much dating advice."
Now Rey laughed full out. "No, I'd imagine not," she replied after catching her breath.
"I want to see you again."
Inebriated though he was, Ben could detect the smile in Rey's voice. "We literally just saw each other this morning."
"Technically it was yesterday."
"That should tell you something of the appropriateness of your phone call."
Oops. "Sorry."
There was another huff of laughter over the receiver that briefly whited the sound. "Look Ben..."
That beginning was not promising. Nerves bubbling up his gut, Ben was helpless against the flow of babble as he cut her off: "I can't stop thinking about you. The way you taste. Your cunt clenching on my tongue, the sounds you make when you come. And the way you laugh. Whether you like green tea tiramisu or hate IPAs."
"Fuck, Ben." There was a weak laugh on the other end, overwhelmed and something else his alcohol impaired brain couldn’t translate. "Are you always like this?"
"No," he breathed back. "Not at all. Never."
"Ben." Her voice was a sweet sigh. There had never been a more lovely sound than her lips around his name. "I want you too. It's just, well, what about Rose?"
"Rey."
His mind was in free fall. The ground beneath his feet had slipped away. What about Rose? He loved her, didn't he? He grasped at bits of thoughts, stray feelings, a warmth that was Rose's smile and nose scrunched in glee, and a smoldering burn that was Rey's lips parted in ecstasy--but those sum of parts defied revelation, no, he refused to summate them. He was vaguely aware of his panicked breathing, but remained in paralyzed impasse. When Rey spoke, her voice was tentative and gentle and far better than he deserved.
"Ben? It's alright. I understand."
"You understand?" he repeated dumbly. How could she make sense of what he barely comprehended?
"Yes." There was a pause, and a hitch in Rey's breathing. "Well, you want something more casual. I get it. We had a lot of fun together. But if you don't mind, I'd like to think it over. Maybe you should too, when you aren't drunk."
No, that's not what he meant. Tell her now. Open your mouth. "Oh," he said.
"Yeah."
"Oh."
There was a pause that stretched on and on.
Then.
"Goodnight, Ben."
His name spoken like a caress lingered in his mind long into sleep.

I just watched “La casa del fin de los tiempos”, a Venezuelan horror film about a mother with two kids that goes through some paranormal stuff in a very old house. But let me tell you: what a good horror film! It’s one of the few I can say that makes ALL THE SENSE in the end, all the pieces get together and it’s so sad but beautiful really. The story unfolds a bit slower at the beginning but it’s worth your time if you just give it a chance and keep watching. It’s obviously a low budget movie but who cares, it’s good.
Totally recommended if you wanna have a couple of jumpscares but a nice story with a bit of the fantasy nonsense that paranormal stuff does sometimes. I hope you can find it somewhere with English subs, it’s so worth it (imo). Also, no pets so they don’t die! xD http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2640474/ Let me tell you if you liked it! PS: I cried like a baby, bring tissues.

Have you seen or read about Islamophobia in China? I saw some ppl saying/debunking some of the articles and the videos going around saying that China is just doing it to get rid of like Muslim nationalists and idk I feel weird about it? I don’t doubt it. But I guess they’re just doing that to be like “well the u.s. does it too!”
I don’t think anyone doubts that Islamophobia in China is an issue. But it’s suspicious when several mainstream media outlets post about the same issue in concert, especially considering most of them have made little or no mention of the plight of Chinese Muslims previously. It’s a matter of evaluating the intentions of the source of information.
Whenever they mention specific instances of whatever they’re talking about, it’s usually a photo or video provided without context and with no evidence related to the photo/video. We are just supposed to believe this is true. There is a whole thread that demonstrated how Western media propagated blatantly false photos/videos/information about Syria. When the Venezuelan economic crisis was at its peak, several tweets under the #sosvenezuela tag where to find to be straight up false & intentionally deceptive or unsourced. A post with a screenshot of some of these even got like 40k notes when everybody on here cared about Venezuela for like a week.
Clearly, they’re not above doing the same for any other country that antagonizes/is perceived as threatening to the U.S. To reiterate, it’s important to thoroughly investigate any issue that seems to suddenly pop up bc the popular narrative is almost never the correct one (or else, it wouldn’t really be popular). Investigation usually yields good faith critique of the issue in question that may provide historical context and a nuanced analysis, because these issues are usually more complex than the outright condemnations you will find in mainstream media outlets.
