#Las Posadas

I know this post is now several weeks late, but I just wanted to say: if the holidays are hard for you, it's ok.

Just because there's a societal celebration doesn't mean you have to suppress your feelings.

You're not required to be happy during Hanukkah, Christmas, Kwanzaa, Yule, Saturnalia, Boxing Day, Las Posadas, Ōmisoka, New Year's Eve/Day, Lunar New Year, or any other holiday. Your grief, your stress, your pain is real. And it deserves to be recognized. It doesn't magically go away just because of the time of year; you're allowed to need help!

Winter is actually pretty hard for a lot of people! Seasonal depression is real, and even if you don't experience that, I think everyone gets a little tired of the cold after the first few weeks.

The point is: it gets better. Springtime is just around the corner, and you won't have to deal with any of this for another 12 months. That in and of itself is worth celebrating!!You're doing amazing!

🖤💜💙💚💛

Christmas Around The World

I spent many years travelling and have celebrated Christmas in such diverse places as Hong Kong, South Africa and Sweden. Christmas, at its core, is a celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ, and how Christians commemorate this event varies across the globe. Here is just a sampling of the diverse and meaningful Christmas traditions that bring Christians together to celebrate the birth of the…

Jayn Loren (DC) holidays

New Year’s for her is kinda big because she’s celebrating another year that the world hasn’t ended & her vigilante family hasn’t lost anyone. Also there’s always some Gotham social event.

Valentine’s Day is celebrated in the early morning & the late evening, since she always has to work. That means sleepy sex, staying in for 20 min & trying to have a bit of breakfast w/her lover(s). If she’s single, she brings some kind of pastries to work for everyone & wears something a teeny bit more skimpy than usual (she’s basically the boss anyway). Cards for family/friends are either emailed or given in person, assuming she can make time. Patrol as usual, especially looking out for queer or interracial couples because she has a bias. The evening is when she meets up w/whoever for quality time.

St. Patrick’s Day always involves at least 1 chaotic moment on patrol, because it’s Gotham & people are drunk.

April Fools’ is scary when you have a family of super-stealthy people. It’s like X-Mas, in that anyone who has done wrong will face justice. Also, Joker always has some big scheme. It’s a tiring day.

Mother’s Day will never NOT make her sad. Even though she knows others who’ve lost their moms, they didn’t get on a plane, thinking things were safe, then watch strangers take their mother to who knows where. & she’s mad at herself & Bruce for not being able to find her mom (little does she know her mother is alive).

June is hot. The only good part of that is when businessmen ask to meet her out of town (she sees this as a vacation).

She hates July 4th. Fireworks sound too much like rockets, cannons, or something even worse. If she can, she tries to spend the night somewhere rural.

August is the month of her & Jason’s birthdays & she LOVES celebrating birthdays.

Halloween has almost been banned in Gotham. Cosplaying already HAS been. It’s an unspoken rule that you don’t dress like any real hero or villain, unless you want to die. Scarecrow & Joker always act like they have something to prove that day.

Thanksgiving is 1 of her favorite holidays. She might not have forgiven Bruce, but she loves seeing her family (& eating Alfred’s food). The sit-down is moved to the weekend & there’s 2 patrol shifts. If possible, those w/a lowkey patrol stop @ Jason’s for a quick dinner.

Jayn knows that Martha Wayne (& her aunt Kate) was Jewish. Bruce doesn’t do most of the traditions of Hanukkah due to time & the fact that he’s more secular, but he’s taught his kids the story behind the holiday, plus how to play dreidel, some basic Hebrew phrases & how the menorah is lit. On the last day, there’s traditional music & food. Then everyone celebrates X-Mas on the 25th w/presents & a potluck (though most dishes are Alfred’s).

BONUS: Jayn used to celebrate Las Posadas w/her mom when they went to stay at her grandparents’ for all those nights. She doesn’t anymore, out of respect (& mourning) for the family she doesn’t have. But sometimes she’ll go over to a neighborhood where they DO celebrate & watch from the rooftops. She doesn’t celebrate Dia De Los Muertos anymore for several reasons: 1 being that ghosts have always scared her, since she blames Jason’s & her mom’s “deaths” on herself.

Happy winter holidays!

An interesting thing about Manolo/Zatz…

Alright I need to talk about something… Manolo and Zatz are really interesting and complex characters. They seem to hide in their families shadows a lot.

Let’s start off with something I noticed with Manolo or the old tbol covers.

I’m pretty sure we all seen the old tbol cover but if you haven’t

Fresh huh. These (especially the top two) seems to show that Manolo seems to hide behind the darkness, or if we wanna say trapped instead.

Now the one I wanna look at is this one

Al you can kinda see, Manolo is reaching out tawords Maria who is reaching out for him.

This reminded me of sm. This

These drawings of Zatz is from Jorge doing a deviant art tutorial.

Jorge describes Zatz’ hair as a hand reaching out and showing himself.

Which if you go back to the poster, is a lot like Manolo.

In both films they seem to hide behind their family’s or etc. not showing their true selves at the end.

Which comes to Maria and Maya. They are both shown to he rebellious girls who couldn’t care about less about relationships.

The thing I love about them is that they didn’t fall in love with Manolo and Zatz until the end.

If you like the watch Jorge’s interviews and cons, than you know that at the end of one of them he said

“The princess saves the prince”

This is hinting tawords Maya saving Zatz. Which if we go back to the poster, Maria is saving Manolo.

In all, Maria, and Maya, and the light that saves Manolo, and Zatz, who are hidden behind this darkness and are scared to be their true selves.

What fandoms will I write to?

● Helluva Boss - (more specifically I will write Striker, I may write about other characters in the future, but only in SFW.)

● The Book Of Life - (it is one of my favorite movies and needs more content like this, I will write characters like Joaquín, Manolo, María, La Muerte and Xibalba)

I belong to more fandoms but for now I will only write for Helluva Boss and The Book Of Life.

I'll write:

● Character x Reader

● Character x Character (Sometimes)

I'll not write:

● Discrimination against women.

● Discrimination against LGBT+

● Nothing related to children in any romantic or compromising situation. IF YOU ASK FOR SOMETHING LIKE THIS YOU WILL BE BLOCKED AND REPORTED!

● If you have any weird philias, I'm sorry but this is not your blog!

Note: I also wanted to say that if you notice spelling mistakes, it is because my English still needs to improve, since my native language is Spanish. So if you speak Spanish, you can ask me your requests and I will gladly write to you!

I want this space to be comfortable for everyone. Including the Latin American community.

- Crystal ❤️‍🔥
