More about Lonan's arrows (because I need to talk about them), I DO THINK HE'D USE THEM WAY MORE THAN THE SHIELD. In fact, I do think that when Lonan first got the shield that he TRIED TO GIVE IT BACK TO WAKANDA. Like, when he met Shuri and introduced himself, he was all: "Here. If I'm going to be Captain America, I don't want to build my legacy off of something stolen." and actually, HE WOULD'VE DEF HAD A COMIC BOOK OR STORYLINE WHERE HE HELPS BLACK PANTHER FACE A THREAT and they combine both Wakandan and Lonan's Hopi-Zuni native traditions to do a ceremony where Lonan earns that SHIELD so he's not just getting "permission" from Wakanda but so he earns it, not just physically but spiritually and culturally.

BUT LIKE, UGH, MOMENTS WHEN Thiago is possibly on the ground and injured by Inigo and Lonan is too far away to help so he tries to calm down and focus on his love for Thiago and his need to protect him so he shoots his Barrier Arrow, which creates a protective dome around Thiago and Inigo trying to scratch through it, ONLY TO GET HIS ASS KNOCKED BACK AS FAR AS SHIT BECAUSE THAT'S HOW STRONG LONAN'S LOVE FOR THIAGO is and when Inigo growls and he's all: "That was a stupid move, Lonito. You just gave Thiago a front row seat for WHEN I TEAR YOU APART!" and Lonan is all: "Trust me, I am NOT letting your face be the last one I see." and like, yeah, Lonan can't take Inigo on hand to hand but again, THAT'S WHY HE HAS A BOW AND ARROWS OF LIGHT. But I also like the idea that he uses the bow itself in very creative ways to fight. Like, he puts the bow around Inigo's head but he pulls the handle part really hard and the elastic part is stretching out behind Inigo's head and Lonan is all: "Night, night, pussycat~" before he lets go AND IT LITERALLY BURNS PEOPLE WHO AREN'T LONAN WITH THE HEAT OF THE SUN. T H E S U N. AND ALSO, THAT SHIT HURTS AND EFFECTIVELY CONCUSSES INIGO.

Or moments when Lonan is just really upset about his mom and its hard for him to focus on other feelings to make arrows so Thiago walks up behind him and he hugs him and he's all: "Lonito, you should rest." and Lonan just tears up and he's all: "I failed her, Thiago. What if she never wakes up? What if I can never apologize to her face? What kind of son would that-" and Thiago just hugging Lonan and wiping his tears away before cupping his face and telling him: "You haven't failed anyone. Your emotions are a mess, don't put more pressure on yourself...C'mon, you'll feel better after a meal and a rest." and Lonan looks up at Thiago and smiles. When he does, his bow glows brighter and Thiago laughs as he's all: "Aw, did me mentioning food make you happy?"

Lonan: "Nah, you just make me happy~" and then he kisses Thiago. He's a little sad but Thiago just holding him and Lonan feels so happy about it and just clings to his hot and considerate boyfriend. BUT ALSO: I DO WANT THEIR TO BE AN ARC WHERE LONAN ACCIDENTALLY GOES OVERBOARD WITH ONE OF HIS MORE POWERFUL ARROWS and his bow snaps and he's robbed of his emotions because he went too far.

And Thiago just not accepting it, because his Lonan could NEVER be an emotionless husk. He has too much life in his eyes, too much joy in his laughter, and too much love and sadness in his tears. So Lonan just looking dull and completely apathetic before Thiago just pulls him into a hug and says: "[Please come back to me. I don't give a damn about that bow, your heart is too big to not feel. That's how you are. That's how you've always been.]" and Lonan just not hugging back until his eyes light up upon feeling Thiago's tear fall on him and Lonan soon hugs back and Thiago looks up and he's all: "...Lonan?"

And with a completely deadpan face, Lonan GRABS HIS ASS and when Thiago glares at him, Lonan laughs and he's all: "Oh, c'mon, I was gonna be a non-feeling shell of myself, let me have fun-MMMPH!' and Thiago immediately pounces on him and gives him a kiss, which Lonan is 100% okay with as he wraps his arms around Thiago's waist and Thiago is cupping Lonan's face tightly.

For Liago and Ikigo—SO MACHETES ARE A HUGE PART OF PUERTO RICAN CULTURE, the specific style is Puyero and it's a symbol of PR resilience, self-reliance, and the rhythmic changing of machetes is used in the background and such. They use it in certain daily life aspects like farming or when natural disasters hit, they can use it to break debris, or think vegetation in the PR. BUT HEAR ME OUT:

Inigo's main weapon being a machete BUT THIAGO ALSO OWNS A MACHETE and like, it makes sense for both of them—ESPECIALLY THIAGO, LIKE MAYBE THE INCÓGNITO'S HAVE A MACHETE THEY PASS DOWN THAT HE USES TO CUT MEATS. But also, like, I love the idea that Inigo would have an absurd collection and Iker is all: "I can't tell if you're overcompensating in the fear factor or if you're just really Puerto Rican." And Inigo grins and goes: "Why can't it be both?~"

Meanwhile, Lonan is watching a horror movie by himself and stuff, Thiago is working downstairs. THEN, LIKE, THIAGO IS ASKING LONAN WHAT MEAT HE WANTS HIM TO MAKE and he taps his shoulder and Lonan turns around—SEES A BIG DARK FIGURE WITH A GODDAMN MACHETE AND JUMPS AND THIAGO HAS TO BE ALL: "Oh, right, non-Puerto Ricans don't just casually have machetes, sorry-"

MUCH LIKE WHEN SAM INTRODUCED BUCKY TO HIS FAMILY, I can so see Sam introducing Lonan to them because...like, his mom is in a coma and his dad is a piece of shit whose all the way in Arizona. SO I LOVE THE IDEA OF LONAN LOWKEY BEING AN OLDER COUSIN TO SAM'S NEPHEWS, like Sarah Wilson will make sure that Lonan's been eating properly and being all: "I saw that fight against the Wrecking Crew, are you okay?" And Lonan is all: "Yeah, m'fine." And she smiles softly and says: "That's good—" before she swats his shoulder and was all: "Why would you run in like that??" And he laughs and sheepishly apologizes. With Sam's nephews, Lonan totally adopts Cass and AJ as his younger brothers/nephew like figures. LIKE, HE GIVES AJ A PIGGY BACK RIDE, he teaches them how to play la crosse in the backyard and they're all: "Hey, Lonan's cheating!"

Lonan: "You can't cheat in REAL la crosse, our one rule was that there were no rules~"

And then AJ STEALS THE BALL FROM HIS NET AND LONAN IS ALL: "What the- AJ, GET BACK HERE-" and AJ giggles as he's all: "HEY, YOU SAID NO RULES!!" and Lonan chases after them.

I love the idea that Lonan will sometimes ases offer to babysit them for Sam and so they hang out at Thiago's a lot. Or if they're in town, Thiago will give them a discount or the occasional free meat as a silent "thank you" for the Wilson family looking after Lonan. BUT YEAH, AJ and Cass hanging off of Thiago's arm as Lonan is just helping clean up. BUT ALSO—Thiago gets invited to dinners and stuff. Like, he can't decline. Lonan is all: "Sarah specifically asked for you to come." And Sam is all: "That means you don't have a choice." But Thiago, BEING A GOOD LATINO BOY—he'd bring so much food that Lonan needs to keep on his lap and he smacks Lonan's hand when he keeps trying to eat them thinking Thiago doesn't notice-

Thinking about Liago because of how PEAK they are but its the way that Lonan is just so beautiful with those damn brown eyes and that charming smile that its hard for Thiago to stay mad at him. Even then, when they do get into a fight, Lonan will treat it seriously because he really doesn't want to make Thiago feel like he doesn't take his feelings seriously or that he's just trying to avoid accountability but he just doesn't know how to be serious because humor was always his way of coping with trauma.

So when Thiago is upset, either giving him the silent treatment or something, then Lonan wants to do something nice for him because Thiago's love language is acts of service and while Lonan could just apologize, he feels like he should also DO something to show how sorry he is. Like if he made fun of a childhood movie or show that actually upset Thiago, LONAN WILL SIT DOWN AND WATCH IT AND HE LOWKEY GETS EMOTIONAL BECAUSE NOW HE'S IMAGINING LITTLE BABY THIAGO WATCHING THIS SHOW AND BEING HAPPY. So the next day, Lonan is all: "I'm so sorry, I wasn't familiar with the main character's game-" and Thiago is all: "You didn't have to watch it."

But Lonan smiles and he's all: "But I did it anyways. It wasn't for me but I can still see why you liked it and, I'm sorry for being so mean about it."

And Thiago just softening because Lonan also made breakfast before he smiles and leans up to kiss his cheek. OR LIKE, when Thiago's amulet takes control then Lonan just evacuating everyone on his team to a safe place while he handles Thiago (Let's just say Marcos was out with Sumi or something) and they're fighting a little bit but Lonan could never bring himself to actually hit Thiago so Thiago pins him to the ground and growls. AND LIKE, HIS HANDS ARE ON LONAN'S CHEST so Lonan wrapping his hands around Thiago's wrists and even though his boyfriend might tear him apart, there's still that glint of love in his eyes and he smiles: "At least the last face I'll see will be a handsome one~" because even in the JAWS OF DEATH, HE IS THIRSTING OVER THIAGO.

And Thiago snarls but the longer he looks in Lonan's eyes, Thiago's own eyes dilating as he's all: "...Lonito." and Lonan just smiling at him as he winks and he's all: "Your one and only." before Thiago gets off of him and helps him and now he's checking him over for injuries but Lonan is all: "Yeah, I'm fine. I'm fine...Are you okay?" and Thiago just looks to the side, because he feels ashamed, but Lonan just brushing Thiago's hair back with his hands as he's all: "Aw, don't get all sad. We all know you fight so hard to keep it controlled." and then he cups Thiago's face in his hands and just smiles at him. That damn, adoring, and sweet smile before he leans down to Thiago's ear and whispers something and it makes Thiago burst out into laughter and call Lonan "stupid" but he leans closer into his touch as Lonan laughs because he likes it when he can make his Tigo smile.

Thinking about Lonan and Thiago and how Lonan has 100% found Thiago's "spot". Like, they were cuddling and Lonan was feeling him up and massaging him and then he finds Thiago's spot that makes him feel good and Thiago purring him and nuzzling into his chest and stuff. Like he purrs and kisses Lonan's neck and just hugs him and clings to him and Lonan just laughs because it's kind of tickling him.

I KNOW MARCOS LOVES IT WHEN SUMI SCRATCHES HIS SPOT WITH HER NAILS. Like, he was taking a nap and Sumi was petting him but then she found his spot and he started purring really loudly. I CAN IMAGINE HER EYES LIGHTING UP AS HIS EARS STARTED TWITCHING and he has the cutest smile on his face (it looks murderous to other people but Sumi thinks its cute). She doesn't let him know he has one because she knows he has a tough guy act to keep up but in private, her big boy just laying on her as she scratches his spot.

AS FOR INIGO AND IKER, they def found each other's spots during a hook up session. They will never use it publicly but whenever Inigo is raging and not in a sexy way that Iker likes, Iker just scratching underneathe his chin and Inigo purrs but then he shoves Iker away as Iker laughs. As for Iker, his spot is behind his ear so Iker being mad at him and not wanting to hook up for him until he apologizes but Inigo just scratching his spot and it works a little before Iker remembers why he's mad and BITES him.
