Most fics starring Miguel O'Hara are written in English by sometimes (often,) non-Spanish speakers. I adore reading Spanish expressions on them, it makes the fic feel different and more realistic. However, every time they use the diminutive of his name with the termination 'ito,' it feels off.
Miguelito makes me think about a sweet chili powder and what I would call a toddler. Migue would be the perfect way, Miggy and variations feel American but they are alright.
As for the use of endearment terms, from Miguel to a character, hear me out:
Arañita: the termination 'ito/ita' is to refer to something that it's little, sometimes insignificant, so calling someone in a playful/teasing way 'arañita' would be perfect.
But calling someone arañita as an endearment name, lovingly, feels off. However, pequeño/pequeña can be used as an endearment term, yes, it means little, but in a way that implies taking care of someone/something important, particularly when used next to a pet name. So, 'Mi pequeña araña,' would be a better expression to use when referring to someone lovingly (honestly, just writing it makes me feel a little ticklish.)

yday while buying the hifi system the guy serving me said "oh yeah you can't do contactless it's over the limit" and i said "yeah even if it wasn't i'd put my pin in anyway my bank are SO paranoid" n he went "oh?" n i said "one time i made an online payment and they stopped my card yeah" which! they haven't done in months!!
and i just bought moon colony bloodbath right. via bandcamp, a reputable company who i have given money before. and then i checked my phone and what did i see! but a notification from my bank that they have stopped my card and do i recognise this payment! it was a FIVER. to BANDCAMP.

i know it's really fucking shitty when people don't interact with things you've made and the inherent need to be validated for your work will always be there no matter what... but the best way to combat that (as cliche as it is) is just to create things For You. and like not care about numbers. at least in my experience. shrug

heyyy girl !! idk if you know this but there's a user copying your drabbles on tiktok
or it's you? i really want to know so I'll report it or not
i saw this user also copying other fics from here (tumblr)
BROOOO OMG ok wait before i get all heated about this ahaha THANK YOU for letting me know. agh this is such a frustrating issue and i rlly appreciate you reporting it to me. the only platform i post my works on is tumblr so if you ever see fics that are mine outside of tumblr they’re definitely not me and i appreciate you reporting it to me right away. thank you for taking the time to lmk.
if you can report them that would be amazing !! tysm !!
IMPORTANT REMINDER THAT THINGS YOU SEE CREATED BY OTHERS ARE NOT YOURS OR MEANT TO BE STOLEN AND USED TO SEEK YOUR OWN CREDIT so to those who even think about plagiarizing other ppl’s hard work, PLEASE learn from these mistakes and don’t ever do it again. it’s so rude and disrespectful, taking others work and using it as your own. and you’ll be caught in the end for it anyways so i don’t see the benefit here tbh 🤷🏻♀️ this plagiarizing behaviour is ridiculous.
before you even think about doing it, put yourself in ppl like me—my shoes and think about how it would feel to get your hard work used to be someone else’s and they get credit for your hard work. this piece was smth i LOVED and it brought sm joy to me making it and seeing you guys love it too. but now, i’m just disgusted.

I am still waiting for them to give us any sort of - storylines - for Neo Exile, but Yin Yang is a fucking banger. I have high hopes for the songs, at least

I like alicent. Book!alicent is perfect to me, she was dedicated to do what she wants to do like any noble lady during those times. But show!alicent while i like, is too flip-floppy to me that its difficult to appreciate her fully. I dont know why people don't want her to be more ruthless, both cersei and catelyn were ruthless and they were awesome with all their flaws. Basically i want alicent to be more like cersei and catelyn. Atleast don't keep doubting wanting your blood on the throne.
Tldr: i agree with you about alicent and want her to be more like cersei and catelyn.
cant say anything about book alicent bc i havent read it (hot girl trait) but yea same while i do like show alicent they made her too indecisive in the last eps. I think they did a good job until ep8 setting up the conflict/her motivations but then the war starts bc of a misunderstanding?? there was no need to do that the pieces were all in place 😭
and like it could have worked if she willfully misinterpreted it bc she realized it could benefit her but then in ep 9 she's just like. 'you've been scheming without me???' girl WHAT how do you not know this you've been talking about making aegon king for years. why would they need to scheme without her knowlege.
like she can still feel conflicted about it bc rhaenyra was her girlbestfriend and she doesnt wanna kill her it's all there no need to do this shit!! anyway.
I dont think she's ruined beyond repair or anything but pls make her more evil in s2 i ❤ evil women 🙏

Feeling a lil vindictive, a lil nasty this morning
So context, my brother had a work do last night and before he left he told my mum he'd becoming back here and doing so alone. So tell me why he called me at 3am when I'm trying to sleep but travel anxiety and says he's bringing two mates back? I tell him he can't I'm leaving at 6 tomorrow he just goes yeah they'll just be passing through your room. No I've gotta get up in 3 hours you can't be keeping up, yeah it's fine. The fuck it is not
Anyway so my alarm goes off 3 hours later I've barely slept, my brain already woke me up several times prior but that doesn't mean I'm turning my alarms off immediately or getting ready quietly after the prick disturbed my sleep
