Eastside Nocturne, 4 color risograph print on off-white cardstock, printed by Risolve. I challenged myself to make riso that had a sense of depth and atmosphere (if youve worked in riso you know how hard it is to get the values right!) Inspired by night walks in LA.

Available in my shop which has just reopened!

watching the outsiders slime tutorial rn and the convo before ggah where theyre clowning on darry for almost going soc and he just stands there stoically and stonefaced. i think does prove that he does not care abt being in the gang/ dally liking him, but also paul rly did numbers on him that he is fine w taking all of the heat esp bc in the la jolla script darrys only comment abt soc ties is "i dont have to prove shit to u dallas!"

wait i didn't know about that from la jolla........... being friends with the socs probably meant he has to deal with so many ""friendly"" jokes and jabs about being eastside. and now that he's back with the greasers they'll never let him live the soc stuff down. he'll forever be stuck in the middle i fear.

but also if im being fr. as a twenty year old who frequently works with preteens/teenagers u Can't show any weakness when they're messing with u or else it'll get ten times worse so i Understand why he's not giving them any attention in that scene even if there's not deeper reason 😭

I remember you mentioned having a Mihawk playlist, and the way you manage to find songs that perfectly fit the vibes of your fics and enhance the reading experience is one of the things I love about your writing

So I was wondering if you could share some of the songs on your playlist? Or even some songs that you associate with certain characters/tropes/scenarios?

I always love it when you send me asks, @sexc-snail.

I absolutely DO have a Mihawk playlist. I share the playlist construction with another creator on Tumblr who I love, cherish and adore: @sordidmusings. We add to it as we write, recommend songs as they come to us to help with words in works.

I could get into a long, long rant about music so I will add a page break here ❤. Lots of song recs to follow for the OPLA cast so far.

I am a violinist; have been playing for 25 years this year (I AM GETTING OLD, JEEPERS CREEPERS). Music is a great, passionate love affair for me and I adore learning about songs and pieces new and old. Here are some recommendations for songs and vibes I associate with the characters and the tropes.

I never add lyrics to my fics so the readers can visualize their own favourite melodies where they see fit, but I do have tunes in mind when I write them. The only fic I've really centralised a song about is the "You Should Be Sad" Mihawk fic I wrote a while back and the Koby series I'm writing.

Here are some song recommendations: all songs are Spotify linked. Enjoy a peek into my madness.

GOTTA LIVE FOR TODAY CUZ TOMORROW AIN’T PROMISED TO ME

[granvarones]

camp challenges conventional notions of what is “tasteful” and “beautiful.” some proclaim that camp celebrates the “tacky” by subverting social norms. and yes, that’s why we live for it! i think camp requires an unabashed courage to be theatrical and humorous in an approach to fashion, art, and culture. and one performer who employed all this and so, so much more is the legendary puerto rican icon that is iris chacón.

lovingly regarded as “la bomba de puerto rico,” iris chacon rose to fame as a singer, dancer, and television personality in the 1970s and 1980s. her extravagant stage outfits, elaborate headdresses, and provocative choreography propelled her to stardom across latin america and captured the imagination of LGBTQ+ fans.

as the host of her top-rated variety show “el show de iris chacón,” which aired for 15 years until 1985, chacón challenged traditional gender expectations that loomed large within the social climate of the 1970s with her boundary-pushing stage presence. her performances were often tongue-in-cheek and punctuated by male backup dancers who exuded queer sensibilities.

before “breaking the internet” and “going viral” was a thing, iris chacón accomplished the 1982 equivalent when her feature in a 30-second television commercial for amalie coolant, a heavy-duty motor oil, made waves with its play on words (coolant sounded similar to “culo,” the spanish world for ass). the ad was so impactful it landed chacón on the front page of the wall street journal and remains a hallmark of 80s pop culture in puerto rico.

chacón was able to parlay her international notoriety into sold-out concerts at radio city music hall in new york, one of the first latino artists to do so. she also broke ground stateside and helped introduce puerto rican culture to the mainstream with memorable guest spots on the merv griffin show, the joan rivers show and several appearances on the david letterman show.

in 1989, the latin-freestyle music movement was at its zenith. chacón not only had a prominent role in the campy-as-hell freestyle music movie “an eastside story,” which starred a marc anthony, but chacón also released the cooing sergio george-produced freestyle track “am i a tease.”

as the 1980s ended, so iris chacón’s bid for mainstream success. after starring in movies, hosting her variety TV show, and playing to sold-out crowds worldwide, chacón stepped out of the public eye in the late 1990s. she has re-emerged for the occasional performance at gay pride parade in puerto rico.

in june 2023, puerto rican drag icon jessica wild impersonated iris chacón during the “snatch game of love” challenge on the fifth episode of the eighth season of “rupaul’s drag race all stars.

Things I noticed when rewatching Hamster and Gretel.

Recipe for Disaster

Don’t Steal from the Banks instrumental is heard in the grocery store scene.

In the background, you can see a poster of “Balloon Man-Child” being put up in Eastside High but it’s never acknowledged. Funny background moment.

The pictures in the background of the Ropa Vieja are nice. The song is nice too.

Superhero Sibling Rivalry

The Destructress asking Gretel if she should be having a babysitter is hilarious in hindsight because she eventually does become her babysitter.

Cheer Cheer Bang Bang

Yuko Cheerleading Warrior Attack 7 lists the names of the magical girls like the Sailor Moon English theme.

The Opposite of Smart

Before Hamster takes off his costume, his head is on backwards and he turns it around.

I find it ironic how Dognapper stole Gretel and Kevin’s pet only to be defeated by another one of their pets.

Birthday Besties

When Bailey is opening her presents of boxes and more boxes, The Bouncy Castle blinks. Evidence that he’s alive.

The Aliens tried giving two kids powers before accidentally bestowing them to the Bouncy Castle. Were they going to turn them into villains?!

Hamnesia

When Kevin asks a lady walking a dog if she seen Hamster, the dog shakes his head. Is he an O.W.C.A Agent?

For Whom the Belle Trolls

Belle lost all her followers but the screen shows 9 followers. I’m guessing she made alternate accounts.

An Arthouse Divided

There’s a Hamster and Gretel movie poster in the background. They are real popular.

Self-HEELP

Dognapper is in the audience in the positivity seminar.

Two Girls, A Guy and the Council of Düm

La Cebolla’s car is shaped like an onion. Man, she’s obsessed.

Revitalizing Nahuatl Language and Culture Since 2016 / Revitalizando la lengua y la cultura náhuatl desde 2016

Matthew Olmos is a musician, sound artist, audio/mastering engineer, and Nahuatl language learner and instructor. David Marcelino Cayetano is a teacher of the Nahuatl language and culture, poet, musician, muralist, filmmaker, medicine guardian and defender of the First Nations and has been active since 2015. Cuitlahuac Arreola Martinez is a Nahuatl language learner and teacher and Indigenous language activitist that has been active since 2016. From Martinez's language work at Marsh Park, Eastside Café and LA Plaza de Cultura y Artes in Los Angeles, CA from 2016 through 2018, he founded Speaknahuatl.com in 2018 as an online space for people of other places to come learn the language and be in community.

Matthew Olmos  es músico, artista de sonido, ingeniero de audio/masterización y aprendiz e instructor del idioma náhuatl. David Marcelino Cayetano es profesor de la lengua y cultura náhuatl, poeta, músico, muralista, cineasta, guardián de la medicina y defensor de las Primeras Naciones y ha estado activo desde 2015. Cuitlahuac Arreola Martinez es aprendiz y docente de lengua náhuatl y activista de las lenguas indígenas que ha estado activo desde 2016. A partir del trabajo lingüístico de Martínez en Marsh Park, Eastside Café y LA Plaza de Cultura y Artes in Los Angeles, California de 2016 a 2018, fundó Speaknahuatl.com en 2018 como un espacio en línea para que personas de otros lugares vengan a aprender el idioma y estar estar en comunidad.

Olmos first met Martinez in 2017 at Eastside Café, a community space where Martinez and other members of the Tlahtoltapazolli collective taught Nahuatl language and culture every Sunday. Olmos returned to classes online in 2020 and eventually became an instructor.

Olmos conoció a Martínez por primera vez en el 2017 en Eastside Café, un espacio comunitario donde Martínez y otros miembros del colectivo Tlahtoltapazolli enseñaban lengua y cultura náhuatl todos los domingos. Olmos regresó a clases en línea en el 2020 y finalmente se convirtió en instructor.

Martinez first crossed paths with Cayetano on Instagram Live in 2021 when Cuitlahuac was giving a free lesson. From there, they connected online via video calls and formed a bond that turned into companionship and collaboration that revolved around teaching the language, culture and cosmovision with a focus on Indigenous rights from a decolonial lense.

Martínez conoció por primera vez a Cayetano en Instagram en vivo en el 2021, cuando Cuitláhuac estaba dando una lección gratuita. A partir desde ese momento, se conectaron en línea a través de videollamadas y formaron un vínculo que se convirtió en compañerismo y colaboración que giró en torno a la enseñanza del idioma, la cultura y la cosmovisión con un enfoque en los derechos indígenas desde una lente decolonial.

In Spring 2021, Cayetano's and Martinez's first project was an online movie screening of "Tsontiajakatl / El último viento" from Cayetano's Bironga Films. This lead to Cayetano joining as a teacher and has been teaching with the collective ever since. Together with Olmos, they are a community-oriented Nahuatl language and culture collective dedicated to educating individuals of all age groups. They continually integrate effective language teaching methods, with dedicated teachers, students and their commitment to their online and in-person community via Indigenous language revitalization, reclamation, preservation, activism, arts, and cultures across Abya Yala (North, Central & South Americas).

En la primavera del 2021, el primer proyecto de Cayetano y Martínez fue la proyección en línea de la película  "Tsontiajakatl / El último viento" de Bironga Films de Cayetano. Esto llevó a Cayetano a incorporarse como docente y desde entonces ha estado enseñando con el colectivo. Junto con Olmos, son un colectivo de lengua y cultura náhuatl orientado a la comunidad y dedicado a educar a personas de todas las edades. Integran continuamente métodos efectivos de enseñanza de idiomas, con maestros y estudiantes dedicados y su compromiso con su comunidad en línea y en persona a través de la revitalización, recuperación, preservación, activismo, artes y culturas de las lenguas indígenas en Abya Yala (Norteamérica, Centroamérica y Sudamérica).  

With a strong commitment to Indigenous language advocacy and activism, their work is structured around the four seasons: Winter, Spring, Summer and Fall. Their core objective revolves around empowering their community via language, culture and the arts. They achieve this by facilitating Nahuatl language and culture classes, film screenings, workshops and speaking engagements at colleges, universities, museums, community spaces and theater companies. 

Con un fuerte compromiso por la defensa y el activismo de las lenguas indígenas, sus trabajos se estructuran en torno a las cuatro estaciones: invierno, primavera, verano y otoño. Sus objetivos principales giran en torno a empoderar a su comunidad a través del idioma, la cultura y las artes.  Logran esto facilitando clases de lengua y cultura náhuatl, proyecciones de películas, talleres y charlas en colegios, universidades, museos, espacios comunitarios y compañías de teatro.

These community engagements can be enjoyed both in-person and online to ensure accessibility for all. They also offer translation services that seamlessly bridges the gap between Spanish, English and Nahuatl. Their multifaceted approach embodies a profound commitment to preserving, highlighting and sharing the beauty of Indigenous languages, cultures and arts. They look forward to continuing this enriching journey with you. Please contact them at speaknahuatl@gmail.com or idiomanahuatl@nauatlajtolli.com.

Estos compromisos comunitarios se pueden disfrutar tanto en persona como en línea para garantizar la accesibilidad de tod@s/es. También ofrecen servicios de traducción que cierran la brecha entre el español, el inglés y el náhuatl. Sus enfoques multifacéticos encarnan un profundo compromiso para preservar, resaltar y compartir la belleza de las lenguas, culturas y artes indígenas.  Esperan continuar este enriquecedor viaje con ustedes. Por favor conéctense con ellos/es en speaknahuatl@gmail.com o idiomanahuatl@nauatlajtolli.com.
