Did you really grow up Mexican if your parents didn't, at least once, threaten to give you away to a stranger when you were acting up in public?

Big D (in prison or something): I can see the house is falling apart without me, so here's the new order. Door, you're head of the family. Son-in-law, I'm promoting you to Door. Boy is now the brainy one. Toaster can fill in for Boy. And Marckus, you're a consultant.

miggy is a really cute nickname for miguel... though it's not one you'd hear from an actual spanish speaker—which, if we ignore the whole "writers likely just didn't do their research" aspect—makes it interesting that the nickname probably came from conchata. a more language-faithful alternative to miggy would have been miki. so, if gabriel recalls her calling his brother miggy during their childhood, this, then, may have been a case of both him and miguel himself misremembering the actual nickname their mother used, as she stopped saying it altogether when they were both quite young.

out of spite—maybe even out of sorrow—she never bothered telling either of them that they're saying it wrong. that's hardly her son anymore, after all. miki doesn't belong to that boy. and miguel still goes around telling people that family and close friends can use miggy. (that's what his mom used to call him when she still loved him.)

You know, it's been years now, and I still follow a few blogs that post for thr fandom... I need the last few remaining fans to know: anyone that popularized the last name "McClain" for Lance, I need you to jump into a boiling pool and you can never get out.

Maybe look up Cuban last names??? And don't use any of the first 10 results??? Do your fucking research??? Look up how Cuban last names work, maybe??? Don't just settle for the whitest last name to fucking exist, and call it a day????

It works similarly in mexico, First name, maybe middle name, sometimes third name if your parents are feeling a bit quirky, then Paternal lastname Maternal lastname. Maybe! Maybe he's mixed! A mexican parent and a Cuban parent! A Brazilian parent and a Cuban parent! Maybe!!! He's even part native! But I don't trust white fans with native characters. Learn to behave and maybe we'll trust you with native characters.

Just. Stop it with McClain.

IF YOU ARE WHITE, YOU CAN REBLOG BUT IF YOU TRY TO START SHIT I WILL BLOCK YOU!!!!!

IF you are latine, specifically Cuban, feel free to add your own thoughts on this matter

Happy Queer Media Monday!

Today: I Dream In Another Language (2017)

I watched this movie a few weeks ago, and it STUCK.

(Don Evaristo and Don Isauro just before their first interview to record Zikril together.)

I Dream in Another Language is a Mexican magic realism movie about the death of a culture. It documents the efforts of a linguist trying to save the (fictional) language Zikril, spoken only by three old indigenous people. When one of them dies, the studies come to a halt, as the other two, Don Evaristo and Don Isauro, have not spoken to each other in over fifty years and categorically refuse to have anything to do with each other. As he looks further into this, the linguist discovers that the real reason for this feud is their past relationship and an awful lot of internalized homophobia.

Zkril is an artificial language, created specially for this movie out of respect for the people who still speak the endangered and disappearing languages today. The fact that it has seemingly magic powers, and that its speakers appear to be living on after their death, clearly puts the story into the magic realism genre.

This is NOT a happy movie. The internalized homophobia part is no joke, and the main theme of course is the loss of a language, and the culture that comes with it. 

But it damn sure is leaving an emotional impact.

I strongly suggest that everyone who is even vaguely interested in this subject read up about languages and language conservation. The Wikipedia page of this movie is as a good place to start as any, since there are related articles linked in the references list. I also would like to thank @celluloidrainbow for bringing this film to my attention.

Queer Media Monday is an action I started to talk about some important and/or interesting parts of our queer heritage, that people, especially young people who are only just beginning to discover the wealth of stories out there, should be aware of. Please feel free to join in on the fun and make your own posts about things you personally find important!

I may not like the song that much, but I know these three girls vibe hard with it. (Minus Aster- she just doesn’t know the lyrics like Kiki and Basil do-)

Without the lyrics

some more ghost rider sketches, version i guess i wanted to draw some bones,

including a partial prototype of whatever the hell the Rider has going on underneath his skin-suit (which might need more leather 'muscles' but. whatever), a theoretical endpoint of how dead Robbie could get in my verse, which. unlikely? extremely. but fun to draw, and a line-up of Robbie, Lisa, and Gabe

in theory, Lisa's sense of style was inspired by @wazzappp 's post of Claire's fashion Lisa, but, well, outfit design eludes me. so. brightly colored vague y2k vibes are. the best i got

hi, not to intrude but why not watch 2000's or movies/series with the type of lexicon you are familiar with for starters and then move to more recent ones? I'm mexican so i can probs help a bit with recommendations if you're interested, i'd have to search for books tho since I stopped being an avid reader but trying to get back into the habit!

Love your art!!! It always makes my day seeing you on my dashboard <3

Not intruding at all, i usually make posts like dis specifically for input! ^_^ ive been considering your first point! Jst have to get around to it... i would enjoy any book recs! Even when i do searches in Spanish i just end up with "books for absolute beginners that are more like workbooks/homework for english speakers" results -_-

LOL my trans son and I were talking to my mami on the phone just now about him going over there this weekend, and he just found out one of his cousins changed his name and is now gender-fluid.  My kiddo was like, “I’m sorry, Grandma, I infected him!”

And Mami, in a straight and serious tone said, “Oh don’t worry honey, I think it was the DnD.”

We about died laughing.
