OKAY SO I REALLY WANTED TO MAKE A LITTLE PREDICTION OF WHAT THE CHARACTERS WILL BE LIKE SO HERES THE CHARACTER IM MOST EXCITED FOR FIRST!! (this is going to be a 7 part series š)
ā¢ negative personality traits: can be cold and calculating, says the wrong things when mad, stubborn, and not that good at letting people in
HER CHARACTER OVERALL HCS:
ā¢ has a younger half sibling (i hc that she has a little brother)
ā¢ her mom divorced her step dad when she was 14 because he was abusive ( :( )
ā¢ dog person but adores cats
ā¢ very good with technology (which is how she got graysons number)
ā¢ although she acts tough on the outside, she will never stop caring about people and finds it very hard to despise her ex stepdad because of that (even though he mentally and physically abused her)
ā¢ she bonds with nash over how protective they both are of their brothers
ā¢ sheās good with guns but only started training with them to over come her fear, which sheās had since her dad shot himself. even though sheās more over it now, her heart beat still speeds up every time she sees a gun
ā¢ she didnāt feel that sad when her dad died right away, but throughout the years it hit her harder and harder
ā¢ sheās latino with long dark wavy hair, tan skin and dark brown eyes
ā¢ is 5ā4 but just tells everyone sheās 5ā5 because she finds it humiliating (that or shes really tall you can pick babes because i couldnāt š)
ā¢ she has a semi athletic build with thick thighs and abs
ā¢ she adores her family and would do anything for them
ā¢ flirts without meaning to and accidentally makes people nervous because she keeps eye contacts for too long
ā¢ is very similar to her mom if you put them side by side but still the similarities of her dad are extremely prominent, and anybody who knew him or what he looked like could see them EASILY
ā¢ i genuinely donāt know if grayson is going to be 21 or 22 in the grandest game and because the new snippet said that she was ānot yet 20ā iām gonna say sheās 19 (but if grayson ends up being 22 then im gonna say sheās 20 bc it would feel weird if she was 19 š)
ā¢ lyra loves her mom to death and lyras mom would kill for her
HER RELATIONSHIP WITH THE OTHER CONTESTANTS:
ā¢ knox landry: she didnāt like him at first and they both hated each other, but then in a conversation he mentioned that his dad died, and from that point on theyāve gotten closer and bonded over the fact that they both have dead dads. once the hating stage is over though heās like an older brother to her and they both care a lot for each other. they share a lot of inside jokes and knox definitely treated grayson a lot harsher when lyra and gray started dating š
ā¢ odette morales: as soon as they met, odette was never mean or competitive towards her, and she was the first one that lyra trusted immediately out of all the other contestants. they ended up being duos in everything and became bestfriends. they bond over music, hobbies, opinions, and matter of fact, odette is the first one lyra goes to when she fully realizes that she likes grayson š¤
ā¢ brady daniels: her and brady never had a bad stage, but there was a point where she didnāt know if she could trust him or not because he was friends with knox. but, after a few weeks of being on the island, they warm up to each other, and when brady finally comes to her about his little crush on odette, she promises to keep it a secret and help him ask her out
ā¢ gigi grayson: lyra was a bit shocked at how gigi immediately was nice to her and was never rude or passive aggressive, (she was untrusting of the contestants at first) and thatās why they started being friends right away. lyra sees her as a little sister and loves her bubbly attitude, and gigi sees her as yet another big sister who, in her words, is āa queen who can put people in their placeā. when lyra finally snapped at knox for how passive aggressive he was being towards her, gigi did not stop talking about it for DAYS. sheās her biggest supporter and knows that she can always go to lyra if she ever needs anything, and vice versa.
ā¢ savannah grayson: it took them a while to warm up to each other because they were both wary of the other contestants, but once they did they realized how similar they were. although savannah acts like she doesnāt gossip, she 100% does when sheās with lyra. lyra loves how she can say anything and savannah wonāt judge her for it, and vice versa. lyra was the only one who, although felt slightly weird about it, didnāt hold savannah (or gigi) accountable for the fact that their brother was a game master and she was in the game. they love staying up late talking, and lyra can always make her laugh. oh, and they 10000% watch gossip girl together. i donāt make the rules.
ā¢ rohan: and last but not least, rohan. rohan and lyra shared a very complex relationship when they first got to the island, before their rivalry turned into a chaotic friendship. before the friendship happened, though, lyra hated rohan because she thought he had a big ego and he flirted with her to annoy her. although he wonāt admit it, rohan had a crush on her when they first came to the island, that he honestly forgot about once he started crushing on savannah. and once their (pretty one sided, since lyra kind of hated him for no reason LOL) rivalry ended, they ended up being best friends who always get into arguments, but love each other to death.
OKAY BEFORE ANYBODY CALLS ME DELUSIONAL I JUST WANTED TO SAY THAT THESE ARE MY PREDICTIONS OF THE CHARACTERS!! IM NOT SAYING THAT IM CERTAIN THEYRE GOING TO END UP LIKE THIS AND I SEE THEM LIKE THIS, I JUST WANTED TO PREDICT WHAT THEYLL BE LIKE šŖšŖ
it was so cute and good, and the references were funny lmao !!
"batman's a fascistš¤¬š !!" - george lopez
and personally, I've been found xolo maridueƱa attractive, my mom watched cobra kai the minute she realized it was a karate kid spin-off/story continuation, so he was already a household name/face for me, so I was already super glad to see him take on the role of jaime reyes and knew he would do well.
also-also-also, it was amazing to see his character be brought to life because I remember being tiny and having the fattest crush on jaime after watching justice league vs. teen titans, so I felt the way I felt then, now, all over againš. also, once again, the representation?! *french kiss*š spectacular. they were right when they said it was practically the black panther for latinos lmfao.
also, once again, I found myself deeply relating to the main character, his job/life struggles and the way he was feeling all of that pressure coming down on him so fast from all of these outlying forces,,, yeahš„².
unlike me, though, his family was his support system. and I so deeply loved that for him and watching his bond/connection with his family on screen was so heartwarming and refreshing (especially for dc lmao we know how they be, traumatizing their charactersš), and then basically adopting jenny kordšš.
lord, and when the dad, alberto, died...I felt that in my chest bro, I was crying, like, milagro screaming out for her mom, dude...
š...like truly...
also, miss susan sarandon, hello ?!? I know she was evil, but as usual, she ate downš š½. if you know me, you know I will root for speed racer's mom no matter what role she's in, like, susan did that fr, she plays evil so damn well, I almost hated herš.
but yeah, all in all, super cute and fun movie, I loved it a lot, and I definitely can't wait for the dceu to expand on jaime and his family and superhero life, especially knowing he's basically the start of the whole dceu reboot thing. james gunn, do my boy right or I swear to god, I'll re-write and re-cast the entire dceu myself and do it better. that's a threat and a promiseš„°š«µš½.
anyways, jaime reyes will be added to my list or something like that soon, and when I do that, I'll happily take requests for him cuz wheeew...! fine ass manš»š„“āØļøš.
Iām gonna do a little rant about ToA so get fuckin ready bro šš
Btw this is not a professional rant but you get my point bro and also donāt attack me please ššŗ
Okay so Ik a lot of people in the ToA fandom, especially 3below fans (i love that show dearly) ship a lot of ppl with krelā¦and honestly some (one š) I donāt have a problem with because itās not a fucking proship/comship šš. Okay so letās just get this out the way krel x douxie is literally a comship idk how tf yāall havenāt realized this šš, doux has literally said he was like 900 years old or something and krel is in high school- AND BEFORE ANY OF YALL FUCKING SAY THAT āOh well krels parents were actually on earth a thousand years ago so heās probably just as old-ā nigga shut ur fucking mouth š krel is from an entirely different side of the universe obviously time would work different there, and besides why tf wouldnāt mother (the mothership) give them a form of an adult if theyād be considered adults or of adults unless they werenāt of literal high school age šš Iām not even trying to be rude Iām tired of seeing shit like this so normalizedšš like weāre all clear that Claire x doux is bad whyās no one seeing itās that way with krel x doux likeā¦ šš And Iām sorry some ppl only ship them cuz they both like music š they donāt even have a developed bond bro šš they damn near just met OKAY NOW SORRY ABT THAT MOVING TF ON TO SEAMUS X KREL OMFG I HATE THIS SHIT SM WHY DO YALL DO THIS TO KREL BRUV- OKAY SO LETS JUST GET THIS OUT THE WAY MAN- seamusā father is racist asf to krel and probably everyone š meaning Seamus is likely racist too and besides who tf did you think told Seamusā father about krel šš it was so obviously him nigga and that he was likely being racist š cuz if Iām assuming correctly his dad was already spouting racist shit before he even walked through the door, Ik his dad didnāt automatically assume he was Latino so ššš yāall gotta use context clues man- ALSO THESE TWO EPISODES ACTUALLY FUCKING KILLED ME ITS THE WAY SEAMUS BASICALLY SAID HE WAS ONE OF THE GOOD ONES LIKE BRO šš please pray for my soul. Iām not even saying ur a bad person if you ship Seamus x Krel but like in your au or story give Seamus a fucking redemption arc if you can please because saying āhey ur alrightā is not a fucking apology especially not for my pookie bear krel šŗš Dw krel the alpha will protect you
I will also talk about Tyler because he's also not normal about stuff š«
Right from the start you get these signs he's protective to a detrimental level lol
(BTW Aidlyn scene cuz I'm not normal about them ā¤ļø The way he literally wraps his whole body in front of her sent me lmao. Mans got his leg around her and everything š¤”)
He's pretty much like this with Taylor in all their scenes. In the Sorrel House he puts his arm in front of her when they see the phantom (that he does not think is real, considering his reaction).
He also has a tendency to drag Taylor away from situations with out asking for her opinion on it š« He just kinda assumes she will want to go with him. Like when he drags her out of the house after saying the phantom was just a prank.
Sir. PLEASE. Kinda possessive of you-
I don't think Red did this on purpose because like. She hasnt really brought up their culture/heritage or anything in the story so far lmao (I'm crying). But idk like just this behavior reminds me a lot of the guys in my family š I think Latino boys get kind of socialized to be more aggressive and protective of their families at their own expense. He definitely seems like the kind of brother to impose a curfew- He has control issues like. We all see it right? He's a control freak.
Obviously his dad dying has a lot to do with this. His mother took it extremely hard, so then Tyler "stepped up" to take care of both his mom AND his sister, he's been parentified since a very young age (he doesn't look older than 10 imo). I think he feels a need to "be the man of the house" so to speak. He genuinely does not seem to have any hard feelings towards his mom even tho she...you know, fucked up. if any of you know the "latino boys are mama boys" cliche, but.
yeah.
(I do think Taylor has more mom issues because she kinda resents how Tyler has been parentified and she's allowed herself to be angry at their mom for leaving them to fend for themselves)
Sidenote: It looks like his family is very isolated. Like, its strange that nobody came to help Marianna after Ethan died. This isn't always the case but usually Latinos have large families (my mom's family had to push together eight beds so all the cousins could sleep in one room lol) WHICH probably means Tyler's branch of the family is, so far, the first and only to have immigrated to the US. He's probably already a second or third generation tho, his mom has only one surname and he and his sister never seem to speak Spanish, so I don't think they learned it (probably some basics). I don't imagine they've ever been to Mexico except MAYBE when they were very young (its kinda rare to visit...since...it's so hard to get out of there in the first place...š« I dont think my parents have been to Venezuela in more than 20 years...but also Venezuela is in way worse condition, so...)
But yeah like. His protectiveness of Taylor is something that actively works against her and something she dislikes. She always looks upset when he drags her out of a situation or tells her what to do. She just wants to help :(
BABYYYYY š„²
Ofc she never says anything because for most of her life Tyler has put himself in a position of authority and is her caretaker. It's hard to speak up to somebody when they constantly say "I'm doing this for your own good, for your own safety, for-" Whatever. Taylor always believes Tyler does everything for her own best interests, so... even when she doesn't feel good about something, she'll still listen to him. It's a veryyyyyy slippery slope that can quickly become toxic, if it isn't already. Because besides being her brother, he's put himself as her parent figure as well.
He does the thing. You know. Where parentified kids try to overcorrect so they kind of coddle their own children and don't let them do anything because they're scared to death something is gonna happen to them š
I don't really know what the point of this was I just wanted to talk about how possessive Tyler can be and how unhealthy his attachment style is š If I write Tyler and Logan angst tho just know it's gonna involve Tyler being overprotective and Logan being Not Cool TM about it š«
What does your mom and dad think about your gaining? If they don't know that you're a gainer are they OK with you being fat and watching you getting fatter?
my mom doesnāt care because i was a fat kid so she like was kinda used to it lmao, but they havenāt noticed me getting that much bigger. it also helps my fat ass latino family looks straight out of a racist family skit that makes hispanics look fat and lazy so yeahš.
I have noticed that some people are putting the Epic Musical associated with ROTTMNT (Mostly revolving around Leo). I just have to say, I havenāt listened to the Epic Musical, but my God why hasnāt anyone done Leosagi in other musicals š. I havenāt watched many musicals, but here are some suggestions (that no one will use š).
Musicals That Can Fit Leosagi/Leochi
HamiltonĀ - Historical Musical about Founding Father Alexander Hamilton
Iāve seen people using this in other fandoms. For this one itās mostly Casey and Future Leo. But to include Usagi:
āHelplessā - The roles technically donāt matter, but Leo could be Eliza (because he has a lot of siblings and also is blue) and Usagi could be Alexander. Usagiās friends could be Laf, Muligan, or Laurens. Very wholesome song! It could also be reversed with Leo as Alexander. His brothers would be Laf (Donnie), Mulligan (Mikey/Raph), Laurens (Mikey/Someone Else), or Aaron (Raph/Donnie) if this was the case.
āSatisfiedā - For some Angst, Leo or Usagi wouldnāt be Eliza š (or if people ship Donsagi, idk the name, then this is a perfect song LOL)! Usagi could be Angelica and Leo Alexander or vise versa. (Context: Angelica and Eliza are siblings, Angelica is the oldest and likes Hamilton. However, she sees her sister Eliza likes Alex as well, so Angelica sets Eliza and Alex up and the two are getting married. Basically, a love triangle)
āCongratulationsā orĀ āFirst Burnā /Ā āBurnā - This is just to cause more Angst and rub salt over the wound to match withĀ āSatisfiedā.Ā āBurnā is basically Eliza and Alexander breaking up because ofĀ āSay No To Thisā when Alex has an affair.
āDear Theodosiaā - Can be used for the headcanon of Jotaro as Leosagiās kid & Aaron Burr as Cassandra which would make Theodosia as Casey Jr.Ā
āBlow Us All Awayā andĀ āStay Alive (Reprise)ā - Used as the above. Jotaro can be Phillip (Alex and Elizaās son). Or maybe replace the son as Casey Jr. Either way, could be a fun idea.
In The Heights - Hispanic musical with people who have a dream and struggling with identity/poverty. (Idk how to describe it).
This musical can be use for those fans who like to headcanon the Hamato children knowing Spanish. There are 2 couples in this play (Benny and Nina | Vanessa and Usnavi) that could fit Leosagi and there is a musical and a movie (I prefer movie audio since it sounds newer than the musical since thatās kinda old).
āThe Clubā - Just for funsies. Leo/Usagi getting jealous that the other is gaining a lot of attention on the dance floor with other men (Imma assume Leo aka Vanessa is on the dance floor).
āBlackoutā - Follows right after the previous song. Only part that would fit here is an audio most might have heard. The wholeĀ āYou barely even danced with meā and thenĀ āDonāt make me laugh, Iāve been trying all night, youāve been shaking your ass with half of the Heightsā.
āWhen Youāre Homeā - Could be wholesome with using Usagi as Benny (since thereās no confirm race) and Leo as Nina (Afro-Latino and half Japanese moment? Black Hispanic and half Japanese?).
āSunriseā - This is only in the musical version, but itās so cute!! Takes place afterĀ āBlackoutā where Nina and Benny found each other and stayed with each other. Nina teaches Benny some Spanish.Ā āWell how do you say kiss me?āĀ āBesumeāĀ āand how do you say hold me?ā All of that. And also a moment where Benny is scared that Ninaās dad is going to know that Nina is with him (Ninaās dad disproves of Benny). Obviously, Leo is Nina and Benny is Usagi.
Bare: A Pop Opera - (TW: Self-harm also Drugs) Gay musical with two boys struggling in a Catholic Boarding School. They are secretly dating, but one wants the come out and the other doesnāt because of his strict father (also he has a twin).
I really recommend this musical, it might be slow but it can get you in your feels. Btw, itās a sad musical (Trigger warning). Honestly, any songs can fit because itās literally a gay story. Also a theater Romeo and Juliet play they are doing. A play within a musical.
āYou And Iā - Listening to the lyrics ummm, Leo fits almost TOO WELL with being Jason š Jason is the one with a twin named Nadia (who believes she is fat and she harms herself). Their dad is rich and Jason is the favorite sibling. Anyways, Jason is Leo and Peter is Usagi. This song is an introduction to how they are together (always being in secret and having to pull away when people are around).
āPlain Jane Fat Assā - Twin moment with Jason (Leo) and Nadia (Donnie). Angst or Hurt/Comfort with the two.
āBest Kept Secretā - Self explanatory
āEver Afterā - THIS SONG OMG. So Leo and Usagi are having a heated argument and itās tense and pretty sad.
āWedding Bellsā - Angst. Usagi imagines Leo with another person.
āSee Meā - This is gonna have to change, so Peter is trying to come out to his mother, but she is clearly trying to ignore it. So This could be Leo being Peter and Splinter being the mom.
āGod Donāt Make No Trashā - Sister Chantelle (I didnāt spell that right. Anyways this is definitely Mikey aka Dr. Feels) and Peter talking about sexuality (kinda).
I donāt know who can be considered asĀ āFatherā. Maybe Draxum or Big Mama.
āBareā - Hurt, no comfort between Peter and Jason.
Be More Chill - Awkward teens who are trying to be cool so they take a pill (From JAPAAAAAAN) and they are controlled kinda.
Main character, Jeremy, likes this quirky girl named Christine, so heās trying to be cool to get with her. If you heard the audio (āIām waiting for my porno to loadā) then thatās this musical. I did see multiple Donnie animations (and a Leo) with the songĀ āMichael In The Bathroomā. Yeah thatās this musical. Maybe Christine (Usagi), Jeremy (Leo), and Michael (Donnie).
The Idea: I included this musical mainly because the whole idea if that teenagers are trying to be cool by taking a pill that (roughly, hard to explain) has a person in their head who āhelpsā them be cool (in actuality, a douche or a player). With the headcanons of The Krang still in control of certain Turtles, I thought well maybe instead of inserting something likeĀ āMind Raphā, just make the person in the head (aka a Squip) just the Krang š (Same can be used for BeetleJuice The Musical)
āA Guy That Iād Kinda Be Intoā - Pretty cute song from Christine (Usagi).
āBe More Chill Pt. 1ā³Ā - Basically when the Squip comes in. Like listen and imagine the Krang behind the voices trying to manipulate people š
āThe Pitiful ChildrenāĀ - Basically aĀ āworld dominationā song. So just Krangs.
HeathersĀ - Basically the movie.
This potentially fits the 2003 Leosagi more, I have no idea. At least, if we make JD Miyamoto. TW: Murders, Explosives, E.D., Suicide, Drugs/Alcohols, and attempt S.A.
āBeautifulā Or āCandy Storeā - The roles (based on colors) are Chandler (Raph), Duke (Donnie), MacAmera (Didnāt spell that right, Mikey), Kurt & Ram (The Foot Dudes? Bebop & Rocksteady), Martha (Todd? LOL), JD (Usagi).
āMeant To Be Yoursā - Please, I need Psychopathic Usagi or Leo, Iāll take any š
Heathers: The Musical (2022), another version of the musical with some altered lyrics and added songs with a bit new style of musical form.Ā āI Will Never Shut Up Againā - Wonderful song for Duke, would like to see an animation of Donnie (I like villain songs, lol).
āSeventeenā - Wholesome song, hurt/comfort kinda, where Usagi and Leo are singing about having a life together (and not a life of being murderers).
I would addĀ āDead Girl Walkingā but this fandom seems to not do much NSFW stuff with this ship, so Iāll exclude that song along withĀ āBlueā as a suggestion.
Hobie and Gwen's Atsv dynamic @ all those Jason and Tim 'caretaker' fics and 'let them be friends!!!' fanarts/hcs,especially ones where Tim's transmasc:
The tattoo thing is so funny am jealous. I would do anything to keep a joke going on. But anyways for my little brother is that he is turning one. He is my twin people say so cuz we have the same face. And he is obsessed like he will stop crying when I walk into his sight which is so funny because it makes my mom mad. š. But that is my little baby brother but growing up a only child was lonely because am Mexican and have a lot of cousins but am older than all of them soooo didnāt have no one my age and was a introvert which lead me to play a lot of video games and watching YouTube š. BUT this isnāt sad time itās us bonding -(50%š»āāļø
Mexican?? Ayeeee were Latino brothers, donāt be to beat up. I wish I had a little brother, but Iām stuck being the youngest. All my cousins are either way to old for me or too young š especially my dadās side. And for my momās side Iām not close with them. Awww your little brother sounds adorable!!
Iām so obsessed with video games, Iām ashamed that I havenāt been writing since I got this new game and Iām on vacation š.
I was looking at tags and i think you're the first person I've seen to actually suggest maybe Eddie's cultural heritage and upbringing accounts for his sassiness and expressive face and body language, so thank you for that. When everyone just says "it's because he's gay!" (which is pure fanon so far) it feels to me like it's kind of erasing his Latino-ness and personality š«¤
Iām going to approach this with a reality based type of answer, anon, as well as a care free type/wholesome answer. Apologies for the essay. I gave an intro/general context around the subject, my reality type answer (based on canon) and what I know as latino and my genuine answer of what I hope to see ( I call it wholesome answer). And just as a heads up, I disagree with you thinking buddies are trying to āeraseā Eddieās Latino-ness, but more like people tend to just mention/talk about things they know about, everything is answered under the cut and I hope it makes sense sense :)
Majority of the users here are perhaps of mainly European decent and/or just African/Asian only background (I donāt want to say white/black/brown, as itās just colours that can fit within minority communities as well and not someoneās ethnicity) and majority of tumblr users are not emerged into Latino (Hispanic) culture as much as the next person. Although, thereās no feature in tumblr that could prove my statement regarding everyoneās ethnicity, Iām just speculating as a rule of thumb and things Iāve picked up along the way. The top 5 countries that use tumblr are not even in LATAM, nor Hispanic, and yes, although a majority of users are from the US, and yes thereās plenty of Latino (Hispanics) from thereā¦theyāre still minorities. So as rule of thumb, in tumblr? weāre minorities here as well.
Context: as a Latin@, born and raised in Latin America, I would say that Latino men are very affectionate with each other and when do these things majority of the times it means absolutelyā¦nothing regarding their sexual orientation.
Tbh Iād compare Latino men to frat boys, majority love fĆŗtbol, hugging excessively, fake kiss, touching, donāt know what personal space is, and being the ultimate smart ass (depending on which regions theyāre from lol) and donāt get me started if theyāre the youngest of their family bc boy they sure are sassy š and my god can they dance/twerk on anyone š
Women are pretty similar with each other like this, but they do portray it differently ofc. We literally hold each other to go shopping (link arms), we kiss each otherās cheeks as greeting, fake kiss when were drunk and that donāt mean anything most of the time.
(A/N:Everyone is just super affectionate and huggy (ugh Iām kinda glad I donāt live there no more, I hate this sometimes š« )
And they are just heterosexual people, but then thereās some of them that are not.
End of context.
Now with that in mind, letās go in with Buck and Eddie. Iāve actually met people similar to Eddie in my life, the oneās thatāve done big gestures for friends, hell my uncle (whoās not blood related to me but is my fatherās best friend since forever, is my godfather, and literally was my neighbour growing up bc he wanted to be close to my dad and their friend group. He promised to my dad and mum, if something were to happen to them no matter my age, he will take care of me as a daughter).
Keep in mind, Eddie is also an army man and that level of camaraderie is quite unique as well and now going to a fire house on top of this? When you risk your life with others, it creates this big connection, specially as a single guy and parents that areā¦ certainly special on their own ways (derogatory).
His and Buckās relationship is quite beautiful and thereās no hint in the show thatās goes into say either of them are anything but heterosexual.
Thatās my serious answer.
Now going into my wholesome, care free answer, anon.
It be awesome if they turn their story around into a romantic one, I can see why others will view them that way and tbh? The story is there. If you flip everything Iāve told you about Latino men and what we know about them, and letās say if Buck or Eddie did this for a woman? It would look like an actual romantic relationship under society eyes. So, I see the double standard here.
I tend to ship those relationships actually, rivals turned to great friends turn to lovers, and alsoā¦some of those looks they give each other? Gosh, it may be from what I said earlier, but it could also be something else. And hell, even though neither of them have been in relationships with men before (that we know of) sometimes you catch feelings from someone you didnāt expect out of nowhere yk? And thatāll be cool to see. The chemistry is there.
Sometimes, itās fun not to take things so seriously. Itās fun to ship characters!
That being said, I genuinely donāt think buddies are trying to erase Eddieās bg but I think because majority of tumblr users are not of Latino ethnicity they tend to, not forget about Eddieās Latinoness (like youāre calling it), but will like to relate him to with what they know. And what they do know is being queer (again Iām assuming based on polls Iāve seen and as a rule of thumb, there a big sum of people who are queer and are also buddie fans/tumblr users), and just like everyone in this world, like every minority, they want to be represented :)
Representation for minority groups is always good. Thereās not a lot of Hispanic/latino queer representation in TV and if we were to get it, I know thatāll make someoneās life better out there. Maybe not life changing but perhaps tell them that theyāre not alone and that everything is and will be fine. Specially for those who unfortunately are not allowed to be their true selves. It gives people hope, that thereās some sense of belonging, out there, and that they can relate and feel included.
Sorry for the long post and thank you for the ask š«”
bro deadass referred to miguel a latino man as a āwild animalā and didnt see anything wrong with it š
oh no, am i not aware of the stereotypes of latino men having unchecked anger issues, despite the fact i live in a latino household where i've witness firsthand those anger issues in all of my brothers and my dad????
miguel o'hara in atsv has anger issues, and reacts violently. i call it as i see it. wait for part 2 for this fictional latino man to get therapy. š
I think R only over shares about her dating life on social media cause I remember her Snapchat activity back in 2022 and early 2023. And she often talked about going out with friends but not sharing much, I think because they're not famous and they aren't comfortable with the spotlight, the only semi famous ppl she posts are dj, mike, ilda mason, noah c) you know ppl who are in the same industry as her but I think she has become a little more private about the ppl in her life now, excepting her bf ofc š
One thing I did notice was a lot of R current friends were J's friends first, and while I don't necessarily think it's bad becoming close with your s. o social circle, I think there needs to a line/boundaries cause at the end of the day if the relationship ends those ppl will always choose the other persons side and she'll become lonely on top of being heartbroken. R needs to build a strong support system besides her bf.
R's family DO love J, she has talked about this before. Since her parents live relatively close they often drive on the weekends to visit them (I only know this for what she's says on Snapchat) I think R shared a few pictures of he parents being smitten and hugging J during the tbosas NY premiere. R's sister has liked J praise tweets before (on X) and I think her grandma likes she's dating a latino man lmao the family definitely loves them together so unless the man fucks up big time, I hardly doubt they'll root against them.
J's family is more of a mystery but I found his dad's Facebook š¬š and his header picture is a photo of the whole family and R was there too, hugging one of J's sisters. I don't think they live in NYC tho. For what it seems, both families see the relationship with good eyes.
This whole ask sounded kinda stalkerish and I'm sorry lol I'm very observant of my faves but I'm not the type to bother or cause trouble beyond that. I just get my info and dip lmao. I promise I'm one of the sane zeglians. I don't need to care about her man to love and support her!!! She's the actual star here š
Didnāt she mention previously that she tends to overshare? That makes sense that she has friends who donāt want to be dragged into her fame. Hopefully theyāre around the same age as her. Yeah, she posts people from the industry all the time. DJ concerns me a little but I would rather see him than the boar š¤
I agree with you about her support system. When her and J break up, who will she have? DJ and Idla? I donāt know how close she is to Mike F and Noah C. Maybe a few non-industry friends.
Her family loves him? š¬ That makes things harder. The break up will be nasty for everyone involved.
