Mallorca Files characters’ instagram accounts
The Mayorca Files, day 31 — picture
Miranda has two instagram accounts, both private. She’s very selective about who follows both of them
miranda_blake_ is carefully curated. Miranda is very conscious that her cousin Carys follows this account, and that anything she puts on it could be shown to her dad. She plays up a softer angle on it, occasionally staging or filtering photos to sell a life she’s not quite living, just to keep her family off her back. Her posts are infrequent and typically captioned in both Welsh and English
_______disaster is her secret account. It’s much messier, with random photos both taken by Miranda and found online, memes that Carys’s kid Quinn has sent her, quotes from books and articles she’s been reading, and screenshots of ridiculous conversations she and her friends have had. Max often nicks her phone to post selfies or photos of her (the latter swiftly deleted as soon as she gets it back). Some posts have no captions, while others vary between Welsh, English, Spanish, Catalan, and occasionally German. Miranda often goes through and archives or deletes old posts that make her cringe (which is a lot of them)
Max’s account, madmaxx, is public. He uses it more like a diary, with photos of his loved ones (a lot of Carmen and a lot of Miranda), food, alcohol, landscapes, books, movies, music, art, and other random things that he thinks are cool, all captioned in a variety of languages “to keep his skills sharp”. When things go well in his life, they go on instagram. When he fails spectacularly at something, it goes on instagram. When he’s bored, he’s posting random photos on instagram. When he’s drunk, he’s going on long, rambling infodumps about some obscure cultural thing on instagram, usually accompanied by a blurry photo of his surroundings or a photo randomly chosen from his camera roll. The only reason his number of posts isn’t in the thousands is that he gets into a “spring cleaning” mood every so often and archives a lot of them
Inés’s account, inesvillegas1291, is private, though she’s less selective about who follows her than Miranda. She has exactly one post — a book and coffee photo from 2014. She’s only really on instagram to see what her friends and family are up to and to keep up with things happening on the island, but she does also follow a handful of boutique clothes shops and fashion accounts. The numbers in her username — 12, 9, 1 — translate to Lia, the nickname of her daughter Talía, who died as a teenager
Other accounts seen in these edits, in order of appearance:
The account with the green-grey mountain pfp is Roberto’s public account, angelofd4rkness. He posts a carefully-curated collection of photos that fit his dark aesthetic, some taken himself (and heavily filtered), but most found online
enbycalledquinn is Miranda’s cousin’s kid Quinn’s secret account. They’re not out as nonbinary to the rest of their family, so they only follow Miranda’s secret account, not her main one. They’re an amateur photographer, and mostly use their account to share their photos
The account with the yellow dog pfp is Quinn’s younger sister Rebeca’s secret account, _i._.love._.dogs_. As with Quinn, she only follows Miranda’s secret account, not her main one. She posts a lot of brainrot memes and a lot of photos of the dogs she wishes she had
carmenlorenzo_ is Carmen’s private account, mostly with photos of herself and her family and friends. She also has a public account for her art, carmenlorenzo_artista
munich_christian is Christian’s private account. It’s a lot of him and Max, food, beer, football, and fancy cars he’s driven for his job and is trying to pass off as his own (absolutely nobody believes him)
lulu69420 is Luisa’s private account, which is a lot like Max’s but even more chaotic. She has been known to post over a hundred times in a single day, but has also, on several occasions, literally forgotten instagram exists for months at a time. There’s a lot about veganism in amongst the chaos of her everyday life
