“I was up for a role and I went in character, focused and what not, and they said, “that’s the director’s favorite pick, they absolutely love her, but can she come back in with a tight black dress, with her face all done real nice?” and I said, “that’s not the character! no, that doesn’t make any sense! why would I do that?” and they said, “because they need to know if you’re pretty enough to put you on the cover of a magazine.” and I told them this: they don’t want me. they don’t want me then, because this is how you put someone on the cover of a magazine. you get a fucking backdrop, you get a photographer, you take a picture, and you print that shit out. that’s how you put someone on the cover of a magazine. the camera will not break, unless I fucking break it with my hand”

♠ + ❅ + ♦
♠ any ‘weird’ characteristics on their body? one leg/arm longer than the other?
they have an outtie belly button which they didn’t think was but people find it weird apparently. plus, the classic one boob bigger than the other and for val it’s their left one.
❅ what do they usually wear when they’re NOT working?
when val isn’t working, their style isn’t specific. they enjoy joggers, yoga pants, ripped jeans, loose clothes, fitted clothes, it really depends on their mood. they don’t dress specifically masculine or feminine either. they just wear what they feel comfortable in.
♦ any tattoos? where? what’s the story behind them?
ANSWERED HERE.

⌘ / ♦ / ⦂
⌘ do they rather shower or take a bath?
val prefers to shower but once in a while, they’ll treat themself to a bath bomb and just soak and relax.
♦ any tattoos? where? what’s the story behind them?
val has four tattoos. they have a coqui tattoo like THIS behind their right ear. they got it when they were nineteen after having spent a year officially living in puerto rico. they have a half sleeve on their left arm of sofrito ingredients and a pilon like THIS because sofrito is the base of boriquen cooking, it wouldn’t be the same without sofrito and a pilon is a very important tool. they have THIS on the inside of their bicep except the whisk is a wooden spoon. last but not least, val has THIS tweety bird tattoo on their right hip because claudia said their eyes were so big when they were a baby that they looked like tweety.
⦂ what clothes do they sleep in?
val actually enjoys sleeping naked. if someone is staying over ( who they aren’t sleeping with ), vice versa, or they have their period, they’ll wear just a t-shirt and underwear. for the most part tho, they prefer sleeping in the nude.

♂ + ♣ + ⌛
♂ does your muse put on make-up? how long do they need for it every day?
not really. the closest val comes to wearing makeup is lip gloss. there are some days that if they’re feelin’ it they’ll wear lipstick but for the most part that’s all. the only time they’ll do a full face of makeup or just more than that is a special occasion.
♣ are their veins particularly visible when they’re angry/upset/sad?
yes for sure. when they’re angry their veins in their neck are visible as well as a vein in their forehead. when they’re screaming at someone is when they’re most visible. those same veins are visible when they’re boxing or lifting weights. the angrier they are or the more they exert themselves, the more you can see them.
⌛ do they go shopping for clothes often? how long do they usually need?
val physically goes shopping at least once a month. they’re more of an online shopper simply because of convenience. val prefers online shopping simply because the more expensive the store, the more they notice being followed by workers or just having more eyes on them than the other people there. they try to get in and out if they’re alone ( half an hour tops ), otherwise how long val spends in the store is dependent on who they’re with. plus, there’s more options online wothout having to go to multiple stores.

× ♧ ☏
× what does your muse smell like? what perfume/cologne are they using?
val 100% always smells like food, especially their hands. their hands smell like lime, cilantro, garlic, onions, sofrito and a mix of spices. as for scents they use, their abuela used to use avon’s timeless collection and val has taken to doing the same. it’s a smell that makes them feel safe and reminds them of claudia. whether its smells from cooking or the perfume, val always feels their abuela with them.
♧ any freckles/moles/birthmarks? where?
yes! val has freckles and moles across their cheeks, nose, and even by their upper lip. they’re something val loves, though when they were a child they were a source of insecurity. they also have a few on their neck and chest as well as freckles on their shoulders, back, and arms that their father used to call chocolate chips. as for birthmarks, they have one on the back of their right thigh that is a few shades lighter than the surrounding skin the shape of liver and the story claudia would tell her was, their mother was craving liver when they were pregnant and never got it so, that’s why they have that birthmark.
☏ what do they wear when they’re at work?
comfortable shoes are a must. they wear sneakers with extra cushion that are non slip. as for the rest of their clothes, val has shirts like THIS in red, white, blue, and black that have claudia’s cocina written inside of the island design in script like THIS. they’ll always wear one of those with denim shorts, yoga pants, or overalls (that are usually shorts). they know it’s safer in the kitchen to use long pants but it’s hot on that truck when the flat top, fryer, and oven are all on and they’re not about that sweating in long pants life.

VIVEKA.
They were clad in pristine, Lululemon yoga attire, a midnight shade of blue and a purchase that was entirely frivolous but the sales girl at the shop had a rather, cunning way with words, dripping with a certain charm that surely worked on others. Well, Viveka had bought at least more than a week’s worth of workout clothes, something to hopefully motivate them to actually vacate their house. Though the beat-up sneakers their ex-spouse had gifted them years ago looked painfully out of place among the new attire. They didn’t run often, but it was a hobby of Alice’s so they indulged in the shared activity for as long as they could. They weren’t, out of shape per say. They could do at least fifty push-ups and pull-ups which, according to the chart plastered on the wall of their gym ( they rarely frequented ) that was relatively healthy. New year, new me – of course, they didn’t believe all that bullshit but mentally, Viveka had done a lot of work on themselves. Their therapist claimed they should be proud of all the work they’ve accomplished within the last year or so. Viveka was unsure if she entirely believed the praise, but there was something to be said, they didn’t automatically resume to a somber state the moment they awoke and for that, she was grateful. But all other aspects of their life, well they had to expand, for lack of a better term. If they were going to attempt giving it another try with Alice – if that is what the wedding planner even wanted, then they would have to be a “better” model of themselves. No more moping around the house in a depressive state, no more taking things for granted, that is what they did that with Alice and that completely obliterated their marriage. They were doing this, for love? No, for themselves really, but if it happened along the way that Alice wanted to give them another chance, then so be it. Studying their reflection in the mirror, Viveka exhaled a deep breath, letting their ribs compress as they grabbed their keys and headed over to Val’s. How they convinced Viveka into such a strenuous activity will always be an underlying mystery. Knocking on Val’s door, Viveka shifted their weight from one leg to the other, their arms lacing across their chest. “I just want you to know that I have already given up. But I do look cute in these yoga pants, even though I do think yoga is a trivial pursuit. Alright, I’m ready to run around and drink green juice and all that. I’m just assuming that’s what people do, I’m really going off my limited knowledge of Sex and The City.”
( @valsalcedo )
working out and being physically active was something that was always of utmost importance to valeria since they were a child. they’ find themselves with so much energy they didn’t know what to do with or so much frustration they wanted to punch someone’s head off and the only way they’d feel better afterward was when they did something physical. they liked to run along the coast of the beach. they liked to swim. they liked to box. they even liked to take spinning and zumba classes. val never tired of options when it came to keeping in shape, it made enjoying all the rich foods they loved much more satisfying. when they were active, they liked to help their friends get into the habit too even if it meant physically dragging them. the latter was especially pertinent when it came to viveka. val didn’t mind helping them get into shape, they definitely had their work cut out for them though. the moment they open the door and they hear the words from viveka’s mouth, val shakes her head. “ first of all, juicing is bullshit and we’re not doing that. ” they say waving their comment off, “ water. that’s all you need. ice. cold. water. ” with that val hands viveka a bottle of half frozen water. “ and just fyi, i’m not letting you give up so you better stretch. ”

NORA.
“Two days in a row!” Both Nora and her stomach growled quietly. A slight frown crossed her face as she focused, studying the menu board. Leaning in, she tapped her manicured nails against the surface. Every one of those meals sounded delicious even though the blonde had no idea what most of those words meant (she’d prefered to spend her Spanish lessons staring at the professor and their magnetic eyes). Anyway, the blonde was honored the owner addressed her, that way she felt special. “Valeria, feed me, I beg of you.” Her desperation growing, Nora gestured theatrically as she spoke. “I haven’t eaten in almost 24 hours.” And only their food could improve her mood.
“ i know! i’m sorry nora! ” val whines along with the blonde. they felt guilty about it but they were going to make it up to the woman. one day was bad enough but two? that was unacceptable. nora was going to leave claudia’s with a delicious meal even if they had to pull together scraps to make it happen. “ twenty-four hours?! tusieresloca! ” val says in shock. “ you’re crazy! if my abuela was here, she’d sit you down and serve you a mountain of food and you wouldn’t be allowed to get up until it was all gone. ” that was exactly what val was going to do. there was no way anyone would leave hungry but especially someone who hadn’t eaten in so long. “ so climb up and sit down, ” they say motioning to the driver's seat up front. “ you’re getting fed even if it’s the last thing i do. vente, come on. ”
