#el grito de las mariposas #the cry of the butterflies #minerva mirabal #arantxa oyamburu #shitty screencap posts (TM)#omg wtf with tumblr's new photo set creator my shitty screencap posts look even shittier!!!#anyways the way I'm kweerbaiting myself here EYE have to laugh #came for the female-centric historical drama centering on a period of latam politics I know very little about #and stayed for the homoerotic friendship that's pretty on brand for me tbh #and yes I know kweerbaiting as such is not a thing but it's particularly funny here bc like minerva mirabal was a real person #so if she was not actually a lesbian that's on me for creating a story in my head lmao #that said the directing in every scene with these two is at the very least harold-adjacent #and older arantxa is FO SHIZ hiding something I just thought it was a torrid lesbian affair with the protagonist #but it could just as easily be that she did end up getting in bed with the trujillos and was maybe instrumental in minerva's execution #(which would devastate me if it turns out to be the case)#or that she's not proud of having been a dancer at that club because it does look like the female dancers ended up doing... other stuff #still not to worry bc as soon as I read that article about how the show was about the undying FRIENDSHIP between these two #I knew to lower my expectations #so then WHY do they keep having such bizarrely intimate physical contact and looking at each other like THAT like what is the angle here???#still I'll stick around because I'm curious about what older arantxa is hiding if it's not lesbianism #and because minerva's actress is so fucking beautiful omg she looks like a young salma hayek it's hypnotizing #look at me back on my bullshit making posts of rare f/f pairings from shows no one's ever heard of #feels good feels organic nature is healing etc

My favorite monologue (women)

In honor of the Mirabal sisters, this monologue is from Caridad Svich's theatrical adaptation of In the Time of the Butterflies by Julia Alvarez. (Just a note: in Mexico, coño means "cu*t, but in the Dominican Republic, it's just a mild, all-purpose curse word like "damn" or "hell.")

MINERVA.

What I'm owed--what we're owed--is a future where what happened to me yesterday at graduation never happens again to anyone else. Understand? We have to muster our resolve, get things done! And getting things done has nothing to do with saying mean things to your own flesh and blood.

You think I'm not angry? You think I just go from one day to the next without...? I am furious about what happened. It was five years of my life! Five years of countless hours of poring over books and papers and research and this law and that case....I EARNED that degree. No one gave it to me. No one! And if one day our struggle turns this country back around to normalcy, and Trujillo is thrown in a dungeon or killed like a rabid dog, as he should be, I'll get my license. Don't worry. The degree still counts for something. My effort and sacrifice were not in vain.

Now, I don't want to argue about this or hear about it anymore. Hear me? We're sisters. Coño, family's all we have! Our family is our country.

Here are a few pictures from my production, just because I loved this show and this character so damn much. This is also what my profile picture is from jsyk.

We‘re reading In the Time of the Butterflies by Julia Alvarez in my English class and honestly it astounds me how I’ve never heard of the Mirabal Sisters before when they’ve done so much. And as per usual, as soon as I admire someone or something, I have to draw them.

三姐妹遇害與橙色運動的起源

11月25日是「橙色日」，世界各地的女性都在呼籲結束基於性別的暴力。但幾乎沒有人知道，來自多明尼加共和國的三姐妹與橙色日有何關聯。 1960年11月25日，拉昆佈雷山村附近的一處山溝裡，人們發現了帕特裡亞（Patria Mirabal）、米內爾瓦（Minerva Mirabal）和瑪麗亞‧特蕾莎‧米拉巴爾（María Teresa Mirabal）三姐妹以及她們司機的屍體。她們乘坐的吉普車，從蜿蜒陡峭的道路，墜入150米深的山溝。乍一看，這似乎是一場意外事故，但是，她們的屍體上佈滿了瘀跡和傷痕，而且，死者的頸部還有明顯的勒痕。事情發生在多明尼加共和國，當時該國總統是拉斐爾‧萊昂尼達斯‧特魯希略‧莫利納（Rafael Leónidas Trujillo Molina）。這名被稱為「老大」（El…
