BIOGRAPHY

FAMILY HISTORY

kylie castillo is 2nd generation American, meaning that both pair of her grandparents immigrated to the United States a looong time ago from Mexico, and both her parents grew up in the USA. 

Her dad, alejandro castillo grew up in Los Angelos, California working to be a big time soccer player, and he got scouted but he ended up playing for MEXICO, and when he wasn’t playing for the official team, he played for Barcelona FC. So her dad made a name for himself in soccer. 

Her mom, lupe castillo molina grew up in Chicago, Illinois. She went to school and started up her own fashion brand, it was small and slowly growing as she was working as a seamstress for different companies all over Chicago. It took awhile to take off, but it did, and she had a shop in Spain bc she was illegal in the US and it was easier to stay in Spain and gain citizenship. ANYWAY, her shop blew up in Europe before getting big in the US. 

Both met in Barcelona where lupe was just a fan. it suddenly became more after they got pregnant, and after they married with their first child they decided to settle in Chicago. 

They were together until Kylie was 12 years old and her mom started seeing angelo altera, eventually marrying him for a few years. This means that she’s step siblings with lennon james and elissa altera! 

That marriage didn’t last that long, so right now both her parents are single, separated and living in different households that share the same customs. EXCEPT, kylie’s mom and dad seem to be sorta reconciling~

lupe castillo currently lives in New York for her step kids and kids while alejandro castillo still resides in Chicago, and sometimes Los Angelos. 

WHO IS KYLIE CASTILLO?

kylie was born in Chicago and she had a pretty normal childhood. she grew up in a house with her parents, siblings and grandparents under one household, growing up with hispanic traditions. She grew up speaking latin american spanish meaning she’s bilingual and is 100% PROUD of her ethnicity even though she has been told the typical slurs from ignorant people, but you know, it happens. it’s really only made her stronger as a person.

kylie has always been the closest to her dad and he implemented not just in kylie but in all of his kids that if you work hard you can achieve anything. to not let anyone tell you that you can’t do things. this was especially true with sports. ofc having a soccer player for a dad, kylie was automatically interested in soccer, all of her siblings were and are. they were known as the sports family on the block.

while her dad taught her sports and to toughen up in any situation, by no means does this mean she was a tomboy. she can play a game of soccer in 6 inch heels. if you don’t think so, she’ll prove it to you! So while her soccer interest grew, her mom would introduce kylie to clothes, makeup, cooking. all of that stuff so kylie always knew to be presentable. ‘let them judge you by what you wear so you can prove them wrong with who you are.’ is one of a thousand quotes her mom would tell her about life.

even if kylie grew up comfortable and in a good position, her parents instilled the value that you gotta work hard to get what you want. if you don’t implement blood, sweat and tears, you haven’t earned it. So if you know kylie, she’s a partier mixed with a workaholic sometimes mixed with a UFC Fighter dEKJGDKJFSGH

When her parents broke up, she went on a rebellious streak, more of a streak than the one she’s always on. she had family that weren’t the safest but for kylie it was safe. so she got involved with some shady characters, and she’s done some stufffffffffff. hmu if you wanna know more. FKJGHDFKHGJ that went on for awhile, she was wildin and she settled into her new home with her step siblings and step dad. 

Kylie is still very much closer to her dad than her mom but she loves them both, bouncing between houses and states (since her mom lives in NYC now) to hang out with each of them often. 

In a grand total, she’s a problem child that just likes to have fun. 

CAREER

There was at one point where she wanted to be a soccer player like her dad but for a women’s team. although there were times growing up where she would definitely show guys she could kick their asses in the sport. she still can! 

When her dad found out what she wanted, he made sure and he worked with her everyday to make her a better player, EXCEPT, kylie overworks herself, A LOT, even when her dad didn’t schedule practices. it didn’t work out for her in the end because during a game she really messed up her knee where she had to give up the sport.

She was DEVASTATED, and she moped for about a day before she found something else, which was makeup. She actually rlly slowly got into it, watching tutorials, practicing on her lita’s, siblings, tia’s, mom, etc. By networking through her mom’s connections, she landed a couple of gigs to do makeup for a couple of backstage things and movie productions. she was getting around to a lot of stuff.

For awhile she was an MUA, and works with a lot of different people. she doesn’t care who you are as long as you’re chill, but then she wanted to try something different and went into music. She is step siblings to lennon james, and there is a lot of musical influence in her life, so of course she was going to dip into that. 

Her style of music is primarily in spanish, targeting that market and since it’s being big in the US, she’s definitely one of the prominent artists since she’s one of the few born in America that makes this type of music. So currently she’s working out stuff with music, working on collaborations, and then doing things in other fields.

Kylie doesn’t believe in limiting herself, if she wants to do something, she’ll do it. She also very much loves to work with charities and going to marches for things she believes in, using her platform for things like that ... even if she isn’t the best person to look up to. 

PERSONALITY

kylie is literally F I E R C E. she’s got two types of personalities, one where she’s a home body and loves her family, will beat you in a quick game of soccer. she’s that bubbly girl with the laughter, sarcastic remarks followed by a smirk at the end of it

BUT

she is also that girl that when it’s time to work, she is scary. she knows what she wants, she knows how she wants it and she will get flustered when it’s not like that. she’s got a whole ‘that BIIITCH’ personality, like when she’s on the red carpet, she just has it going for her kind of thing.

but she’s a goof, and that’s something everyone will notice. she loves to make people laugh and smile. 

if you’re an asshole, those are her favorite types where she’s just drawn to those people. she really does love a challenge. 

A big thing for her is she is really hot tempered. talk shit get hit, is kinda her thing. if you wanna start an argument, don’t expect to come out of it without a scratch on you when you’re with kylie. she just has that mentality that if you don’t wanna talk it out she already has her hands up to start swinging. 

If you’re close to her, she will ADORE YOU. This girl is ride or die for anyone she loves, she doesn’t care what you did, or how other people perceive you. if you’re close with kylie, that’s all she cares about. she’s too loyal.

connections?

old school friends

old school enemies

makeup clientele

squad?

ride or die

drunk friends

sibling like friends

exes ( good + bad + messy + angsty )

crushes ?

former lovers to friends

um, anything? let’s brainstorm ! :)

[anonymous-ivplay]

Favorite Cyberchase episodes from when I was a kid (WARNING this list is long):

“Lost My Marbles” — I always have loved me some good ol’ worldbuilding, even back when I was 6

“The Poddleville Case” — quickly stood out to my kindergarten brain as “different,” which I later learned was because it was a pilot episode and the animation style wasn’t finalized yet. The characters were still figuring out their personalities/interactions as well as what kind of world Cyberspace was, and the resulting zaniness intrigued and endeared me. Plus the For Real in this episode was the only one without Harry or Bianca; I wish that guy had shown up in more episodes tbh

“Secrets of Symmetria” — Jackie speculates what could happen if Hacker ever made it into the Real World and this is neVER BROUGHT UP EVER AGAIN

(more under the cut!)

“Of All the Luck” — idk the way all the lucky charms are set free at the end would never fail to blow my little mind with how creative it seemed

“Cool It” — always have been a Motherboard stan, so any Motherboard-centered episode automatically stole my heart

“Codename: Icky” — who didn’t love secret codes as a kid?

“Less than Zero” — ASJGHFDLKDASGHLFVAUYDWKLMAF as you can see my love for this one transcends mere words

“Fortress of Attitude” — *pounds fists* SECRET AGENTS SECRET AGENTS SECRET AGENTS SECR

“Out of Sync” — Greek muse Calliope + Lesbian Rockstar Inez = ‘nuff said

“Hugs & Witches” — past!Me must’ve known I’d study computer programming one day? Regardless, I adored Lady Lovelace so much so that I referenced her poem in an Odd Squad fanfic but even moreso I adored the embarrassingly touching moment the main 3 shared at the end

“Totally Rad” — Inez saving the day because of her small size but mighty defiance was too relatable as a little kid. Plus the imagined cheerleader!Inez never failed to crack me up

“Harriet Hippo and the Mean Green” — literally just because of that one shot of Buzz and Delete’s feet walking right past Jackie and Inez

“Mother’s Day” — happened to be the first episode I ever remember watching, so of course it has a special place on this list. Not to mention it’s the only one where Widget doesn’t feel like a deus ex machina, though of course I didn’t know the word for that at the time

“The Eye of Rom” — MOAR SECRET AGENTS except with Bianca in the For Real 

“A Whale of a Tale” — *squeals at the love shown by Inez in her terror that Matt nearly got himself killed*

“The Guilty Party” — good ol’ whodunnit with Inez as its star, what’s not to love? (also have y’all figured out by now that I had a huge gay crush on Inez as a kid?)

“EcoHaven CSE” — eyyyy another whodunnit! Also this was the episode where I first figured out from her Spanish lullaby that Inez is Hispanic and that made me love her even more

“A Piece of the Action” — fun fact, I once had a fantasy of turning Cyberchase into a Broadway musical with 7yo nerdy me playing Inez of course and this was the episode I’d’ve wanted to do that with, no idea why

“The Creech Who Would Be Crowned” — YEEEEE AN EPISODE CENTERED COMPLETELY AROUND INEZ also she and Creech are lesbian girlfriends change my mind

“A Perfect Fit” — a race against the clock in a rundown temple, plus a math concept I’d never heard of before this episode and would never hear of again until like high school? Win

“The Snelfu Snafu, pts. 1 and 2” — MOTHERBOARD NEARLY DIED BUT THEN SHE WAS ALIVE AGAIN EXCEPT SHE HAS TO LIVE WITH A TERMINAL ILLNESS FOREVER BUT IT’S OKAY BECAUSE CYBERSPACE COMES BEFORE HER OWN HEALTH AND IM NOT CRYING MY 7YO SELF IS

“Penguin Tears” — the phrase “angle in = angle out” became my unofficial life motto until I was like 13

“The Case of the Missing Memory” — ooh goody another whodunnit bUT THIS TIME WITH MOTHERBOARD YAAAAASSS

“A Broom of One’s Own” — had me annoying my parents into the grave with how often I’d parrot the word “chic”

“Jimaya Jam” and “Spheres of Fears” — I was never much into the new Flash animation part of the series but 9yo me made an exception for these two episodes

And after that my local PBS network stopped airing Cyberchase so I lost interest and stopped watching. Until very recently of course!

[wh0ratio]

Pls forgive the random text post moment but sometimes I just hits me that I don’t identify with any of the “rough” or “rough-ish” things that have happened to me and a lot of that is because of the society I grew up in and current reside in. I REALLY hesitate to mention it’s due to the very white dominant society I live in as I know I’ve lost too many friends based on my aggression towards it and considering my lack of connection to any actual Latino or other culture I might belong to, have technically lost the right to claim myself as anything but white as well, but it feels the truth. Knowing now that I am actually a pretty light-skinned person and most of the racism directed at me growing up was just misplaced versions of colorism/anti-blackness has forced me to stop using my browness as a shield against the feeling of total isolation in my white community but it leaves no community left. I am not white, I can scream the from the hilltops, I am not nor will I ever be white. But I am not latino either. Despite my best efforts as a child, being adopted into a white family who are racist robbed me of any culture I wanted to explore, and anything i was exposed to was dripping in colonism, usually in the form of Christianity. Despite literally taking it for almost 11 years, I still do not have a decent grasp of Spanish except for basic vocabulary numbers and sometimes I can translate the basics of a sentence. I feel like a misplaced cheerio in a bag m&ms, they’re the colors of the rainbow sure, they’re different but they have their communities and I just don’t. Is there a community for tan people who are so fully unsure of what they’re allowed to be? Can I make the jokes about white people because I am still feeling the effects of being drowned by them daily or am I coming off too strong, too aggressive, the pot calling the kettle black? Why do I still take racism of all forms so personally? Why do I still hesitate to bring up my peers’ racism to them, is it a safe space to do so? Am I allowed to feel wary around crowds of white people? I’ve been so identityless for so long. My Hispanic last name was taken when I was adopted and replaced with a Polish one, and while it’s not a bad thing, it’s not a good one either. Gender issues took my Hispanic first name and killed it, and despite trying so many names that felt tied to latino culture, any semblance of those roots, I still have a white name. A name rooted heavily in Christianity and Roman paganism. I am an amalgamation of everything that wounds me and yet I still get up in arms about the society I live in as if by existing I also didn’t perpetuate it. My failed transracial adoption is served up on a platter as an example of how brown can fade over time. I have no family, the people who can be considered so still hurt me, not as badly as others have hurt and been hurt but it’s not home. I watched silently as my old white friends used my “traumas” they knew absolutely nothing about as sexy and interesting anecdotes to pick apart in their original fantasies and when I raged instead over their other privilege I was dropped as if I was the one who was too much. Too mean. I may be outside the warm cabin window looking in but I’m still in the snow globe. I’m still part of the picturesque scene, no matter how cold it is in the snow. I should be lucky I’m here instead of else where but instead I’m ungrateful and I continually am trying to find a way out. Im not white and I don’t belong here. But they’re the only ones who will take me, even if it is will malice or even a misplaced sense of justice and chivalry. After years of no answers, during the worst of the isolation, after the lies of different cultures, German, Mexican, black, American native, Haitian, Puerto Rican from the only biological pieces I had, I still have no answers. I genuinely don’t know who I could be. Or if I want to be anything. All I do know is feed jokes about white people to white people and hope that it gets better soon. I want to get better soon.
