ok so lance talks about ‘veradera beach’ which i soon y’know, just googled to see/? and shabang, Varadero Beach is a real thing, in Cuba. plus this post summarizes a few things. anyway Varadero Beach is part of the Municipality of Cárdenas in Cuba sO !! that’s basically where i HC him from. the city is along the coast and whatnot and his house was more toward the center of the city and probably elevated (along with the neighborhood sidewalk) higher than the roads? y’know considering they live by the ocean, there’s probably a lot of flooding that can go on especially during hurricane season and heavy rains. I think he’d live in a medium sized (this is such a relative term im sorry??) house with his mother, father, 2 younger siblings and older sister so it wouldn’t be TOO crowded but maybe a little cramped. They probably had a lot of bathroom sharing going on growing up which led lance to be very protective over his hygienic products (razors, face washes/masks, deodorant, he probably uses loofahs, y’all know the drill)
he finds his house very comfortable but HOME would tie in the beach as well. they went there all the time, spent most of their days out there, especially during the summer when there was no school and whatnot, so anyway, like he said in episode 4 (i thinkk?) talking about the pizzerias, that’s probably where they ate out most often bc it was close and they love it. but most of the time when they went to the beach his aunt uncle and cousin would tag along too and lance would spend most of the day hanging out with his cousin who is around the same age as him, and the two would have a blast in the water and out in the sun eating pizza w bread n garlic and livin it u p. he’d probably take a lot of strolls along his neighborhood too, but that’s something he likes to do alone when he’s stressed out or overthinking, or feels to cramped around his family. He used to go on them with his dad when he was little, but as he grew older and began to keep his emotions more to himself is when he started to go alone, especially at night (sometimes without anyone knowing he left, bc he doesnt wanna worry anyone) so between the stars at night lined with the neighborhood roofs, the beach, the pizza, his family, the ocean, the rain that would lightly flood the streets (which he probably grew up playing around in so long as it was safe) and leave puddles behind when it began to dry, the humid air, and the sounds of soft wind in his ears, alongside his family and friends, like... that’s home for him.
also if anything doesn’t make sense or is wrong smth feel free to hmu bc ?? yeah.
