Influencers at Coachella 🩷🇨🇴🇵🇷🇧🇷🇻🇪
This crossover trio collage on Manolo Sánchez, Miguel Rivera and Mirabel Madrigal were based on artworks and memes I have seen on Tumblr. I decided to call them the Hispanic M Trio, with them being Hispanic and their names starting with the letter "M." Its on the nose, but it would do until a better title comes up.
Just spent the last week reading one of my absolute FAVORITE new finds for the year - We Set the Dark on Fire, and We Unleash the Merciless Storm by Tehlor Kay Mejia
it's a YA set in a world heavily based on hispanic culture, where a rags-to-riches hopeful (who's also an illegal immigrant) is graduating school to be the perfect wife to one of the island's most elite in the top of her class, in a corrupt-as-fuck world, and is trying to grapple with all that, when a rebel decides to try to blackmail her, and all of a sudden, her whole role, that involves making sure she's involved in exactly zero scandal, gets really tense, and she's gotta navigate the newly-high-stakes environment she's in. Also there's queer enemies to lovers that's really fun.
second book follows the girlfriend, but i'm not gonna describe it as much because i don't wanna do spoilers

I am not my fear.
You know what’s cringe?
People who don’t know what bilingual people speak like. Cuz like I speak English and Spanish and you know “Spanglish” is super fun. (I mostly see this in fanfics).
But I never go: Yeah and I was at la playa, you know— sorry I speak Spanish and I mix up words! Silly silly me, no se hablar English!
It’s more like: Y estaba en la playa when my mom called me and she was yelling at me and I didn’t even know what I did! I was like ‘Mami, Que hice? Why are you yelling!?’ (More or less something I told my friend a couple of weeks ago)
Then theres the whole “character forgets a word because they’re thinking in Spanish!”
“No, no, the flecha! You know, the thingy that lights up! Like— ugh, what’s it called? Its like— its a flecha! I can’t think of the English word!” (Arrow, its a light up arrow)
Its so awkward to read those.
Idk but being bilingual isn’t just adding a random non-English word into a an English sentence.
Or like having characters just go: “you’re my hermano/hermana, man!”
Or (the very cringe) “come on foo!” // “ese!” // “vato!” // or literally any other word associated with cholos or Chicano gangs.
Like pet names I get. I understand those. I used to call my ex “mi amor” “corazón de melon” “Bebe” “lindó” “guapo” and nothing else in Spanish. Those are understandable cuz those are pet names.
Make Spanglish sound real! (hmu if you want someone to look over your Spanish, specifically)
SINCE we are expressing our Jason Todd Hispanic head cannons, here are what I head cannon about TWO loves of my lives😘
1. Linda Park is Cuban!! It’s not cannon in the comics but its cannon in my heart, also I love the thought of Linda speaking spanish it just does something to me.
2. Kyle Rayner is a very artistic Puerto Rican!! (Not Autistic guys, ARtistic)
3. They both yell at Wally in spanish. (Linda yells when Wally is injured, Kyle yells when they are arguing)
4(?). Do you guys think the three of them could be childhood best friends?? Like Linda would be Wally’s bestie since birth and they can meet Kyle at like a playground when they’re 5??
I need thoughts on that
(tysm to the person who told me Linda’s Korean im uneducated 😣)
