Well hello there! I love how much you take your time to think about your response to these asks - I keep forgetting to come and type the minute I think of something thinking I'll remember and then...I don't! Anyway for this one I was wondering - what would you have liked to see their reconciliation scene be like? How would events have flown from there?

Ohhhh, boy, if I had a time machine, you BET I would go back and make Gaitan rewrite that whole thing!

I love Marcela telling Betty the truth. So this AU would start after that.

I would make Betty go after Armando on her own. The Cuartel doesn't even know she goes, except perhaps Inesita who tells her where to look for him.

Betty gets to the workers' area right when Armando is giving the speech, like in the novela, except that instead of that whole show, Betty calls him to have a word in private with him.

The conversation that follows can happen really anywhere, as long as they are alone

I imagine Betty taking Armando back to her office, and the Cuartel quietly just staring at how Betty calls him in.

Of course, as soon as the doors close, the whole Cuartel is behind the door listening.

(I don't really mind that people listened to the whole thing, what I hate is that they didn't talk at lenght and AT LEAST with the appearence of privacy.)

Betty and Armando would be inside Presidency, askward and uncomfortable at first.

Betty doesn't really know what or how to say it, so it is Armando who firsts asks what she wanted to talk about.

Betty, standing behind her desk for the visual representation of a barrier for her heart, seriously and with all the hope and fear that she had held for months just tells him that she spoke to doña Marcela, and she told her everything that happened the time she was away and about them.

She looks at home expectantly, just letting those words hang in the air.

Armando is also tense and awkward, his jaw tensing and untensing. He's looking at her and repressing all the hope and love he has; all the deep and true desire to hold her in his arms and break.

She has the same expression.

She answers that doña Marcela told her about how he suffered. How he... missed her.

"¿Y... usted le cree?" Asks Armando. His eyes look desperate for any light of hope inside her eyes.

He feels like he will break right there when she answers yes.

A tear falls dow from his eye, and that's what pushes her to the edge and tears also fall down from her own eyes. She can't keep them in anylonger

It's just the quiet, slow type of tear-falling that happens when you can't hold them back anymore.

"Yo la extrañé muchísimo," he says, blinking away the rest of the tears. "Aún la extraño, con todo el corazón."

Betty brings a hand to her mouth and closes her eyes as she bows her head to suppress a sob.

"Por qué... por favor, sólo dígame por qué..." she murmurs. She isn't sobbing, but she can't look at him for a second. "Yo siempre le di todo lo que tenía por dar. Le entregué mi vida, mi tiempo, mi amor, mi honor... todo lo que soy, se lo di. Y se lo hubiera dado incluse si usted jamás hubiera mirado en mi dirección."

Words hurt him like knives.

"Tenía miedo. Tenía miedo de perderlo todo. La empresa, mi familia, mi reputación, el esfuerzo de mi vida.... había tantas vidas en juego, y estaba aterrado. Y ahora sé que también tuve miedo de perderla a usted. Ahora entiendo que yo a usted la he amado desde mucho antes de siquiera besarla por primera vez. Fui un cobarde y un imbécil al no saberlo antes. Ahora sé que no hay ni habrá jamás una mujer tan extraordinaria como usted, y que usted me dio su amor mucho, mucho antes de que yo lo entendiera. Y usted me devolvió a la vida, Beatriz."

Betty at this point is straight up just shaking uncontrollably, shoulders hunched and hand covering her mouth. Tears flow freely now. And she's not holding back anymore.

"Todas esas citas... esos besos, esas caricias... ¿de verdad sintió asco de mí, al menos una vez?"

Shs needs to know the full truth. It is now, or never.

"Sentí... sentí asco de mí mismo. Siempre supe que le estaba haciendo daño, y eso me asqueaba."

"Y aún así lo hizo..."

"Sí," he answers, "y no me arrepiento de un sólo beso o caricia. Me arrepiento de no haber sabido apreciarlos en su momento.

One last question that she has, and this hell would be over.

"¿Usted... sintió asco esas noches también?"

Armando knows which noghts she's talking about immediately, because they haven't left his mind or heart for a single second since. So he answers immediately

"No. Ni una sola vez. Fue la experiencia más dulce y tierna de mi vida... y... si no me cree nada de lo que le he dicho hoy... al menos créame eso. Yo sé que mi palabra no vale nada, pero se lo juro por lo más sagrado en esta vida, que yo a usted la amé esa noche y todas las que le siguieron."

Betty sobs and for a while, there is nothing but the supressed cries that hold so much pain of so many months.

"Yo le creo. Le creo todo." She finally says, and Armando slowly, tentatively, as if afraid to break her if he moved too fast, starts walking towards her and finally brings her to his chest in an embrace.

She is still curled over herself, crying. He is crying too, with his chin redting on the top of her head.

The only sign that she shows of her need for him is her hand desperately grasping the jacket of his suit around his arm.

"Yo también lo amo, don Armando." She whispers and finally he smiles, kisses her head, and tears continue falling.

She finally rests her head on his chest

There is a momentary and silent peace that reigns in the office untilllll

BAM the comedic relief comes in!

The doors slide open and Freddy falls right in, revealing the whole Cuartel and even Wilson also standing at the entrance, but only Freddy stumbles forward

"Freddy, ¿estuvieron escuchando? ¿Todos ustedes?" Asks Armando as him and Betty quickly dry their tears and step away from their embrace, but don't really pur much distance between each other.

"Eh, eh. ¿C-como dice, don Armando?" Stutters Freddy, and desperatedly calls, "e-eh, ¡Wilson, Wilson!" Looking for a scapegoat. "¿¡Donde estan sus modales, ah?!"

"¿Yo?" Prefunta Wilson asomándose por la puerta.

"¡Si. Usted, pues ni modo que yo! ¡hay que felicitar a la nueva y hermosa pareja de ecomoda!"

The whoel Cuartel enters and starts cheering and all that

It's kinda awkward but kinda cute at the same time. Betty and Armando just look at each other with a shy little smile while they are being hugged and congratulated ny their friends

They share these little shy glances which promise a better future.

Right now, they're still holding back a lot. Their relationship is not perfect. It's still full of cracks and very wobbly, but it's a start in their healing process as a couple❤️

And yesssss that's it! That's how I would have loved to see the reconciliation🥰

NOW I knowwwww Gaitan and everyone else were on a hurry. Ik. BUT if we had had a couple more episodes, a few things I would have also loved to see

Armando and Nicolás's barely tolerating each other but knowing they gotta do their best for Betty. Eventually seejng a scene that plants the seed for them to eventually become friends. Idk, maybe they have an interest in common or one helps the other out or something idk. Perhaps Armando introducing Nicolás to a hot woman and Nicolas screwing up and Armando being like "idk wtf was that but it was cringe af im gonna teach you how to woo women because that was painful to watch"??? We don't get to see it actually playing out but we do get to see that this will be the first step into them becoming friends

Margarita's rejection of Betty. Im sorry but therenis no way in hell that this woman would EVER just be like "ok ig my dreams of marrying my two children to each other just ended and now he wants to marry this formerly ugly and still classless woman, so nice im gonna pay for their wedding<3"

Doña Julia's initial skepticism towards Armando.

Don Hermes too. They both kinda blame Armando for what happened to Betty.

A DATE. A PROPER DATE for those two. Jesus Christ hust ANYTHINF. Betty and Armando back in the episode previous to the first night were both like "uh yes actually our relationship is 1000% cerebral and spiritual we talk about books and poetry and magazines and economy and stuff" and yet ???? We never get to see them having a nice convo ???? Like literally these two even have jazz as a common interest PLEASE let them have a date and nice chat

Michel's goodbye. Yeah I'm sorry but him just kinda being yeet off the story like that was a little sad even if I didn't particularly liked him lol

CAMILA PLS BRING MY GODDESS CAMILA AT LEAST ONCE. Literally bring a random actress and make her be the coolest lady ever, kinda Catalina 2.0 but younger and perhaps more willing to pull Armando’s ear

Thank you for your lovely question @casfa88 sorry it took so long😔

bea’s villano lyric analysis!

based on my own opinions and some conversations i have had with others/their theories

i still have the same opinions about the way in which ant is releasing this

I know I could’ve stayed but I couldn’t find a reason / so I left you with a rock on my hand and i ran with my demons

he left her because he wasn’t settling for a failing relationship and felt that he could make them both happier by leaving

Hay tantas cosas [so many things] between us that were left unsaid / so you kept the truth about me locked up in your head

Social media + the press were making so much noise about the breakup that was pro-Jasmine that she never said anything because it wouldn’t have been true (hence why she may not have released any music)

Don’t worry / put the blame on me / let’s leave it here

Why am I the villain / continue with the story that I am the bad guy

By not saying or doing anything at the time when she had the upper hand, she was silently agreeing with the general public that he had seriously wronged her - no reason to shift or correct the narrative if it’s in your favor already

I don’t care if they hate me or look at me weird / I don’t stop it anymore / the role of the hero is expensive to me

He gave up trying to resist public opinion because ultimately that’s not why he was angry and there was no option to justify himself

You was Harley Quinn / I was the Joker

He uses this metaphor to show what people were thinking of him: that he was an abusive partner who manipulated her into trusting him until he stabbed her in the back

But hid behind the heels and dress to make up for that poker face you would put on

This could possibly be talking about the 2021 gotham awards and her parading around with her friends and singing “my man” but it could also be just about how she moved to la, started attending a bunch of events, and didn’t look back

All that shit you did wrong / I hope you had a good time on that pedestal you stood on

One of his best lyrics ever I think - he wants to know if inflating her ego to surf the pain was ultimately beneficial for her. Adding fuel to the fire by having someone from your camp tell the press that he ruined the wedding that was 2 weeks away just to make people extra mad? Yeah.

We did it all / New York to Miami / now I’m really finna ball

He moved away and is free now to do what he wants

Dolce and Gabbana while I’m dancing with the stars / and we can keep it secret how I really put you on

Ever since they split, he’s been very successful by booking a marvel role, starring in one of the most successful movies of 2022 at the box office, and attending the met w tommy hilfiger and then multiple campaigns and a full collection. Meanwhile she has no new projects lined up and is relying on her friends to keep her supported. Besides the fact that it’s quite obvious she got signed to CAA through him, he alludes to the fact that he supported her throughout the relationship both financially and career wise. Some of her roles such as monsters & men and honest thief were gotten through him and it’s highly likely that he used connections to secure other projects for her, but she would never admit to this because her schtick is being a strong independent woman who lives free from a man’s support

I got new friends / it’s iight I tied up all the loose ends

I think this confirms what we’ve all been speculating - he made clear which of their mutual friends he wants to associate with and now he’s moving on

Now the way I’m moving call it new sense / thank you now I’m back to feeling like a human

He was done with the relationship almost a year before they broke up because they were going through a rough patch and she refused to communicate and instead lashed out at him and pushed him away. He gave up on trying to fix it because she wasn’t willing to work it out and instead shifted his focus to his career. And this was after he had gone to therapy specifically to stay with her and had begun working on his problems for her, but this didn’t matter because she was evidently spiteful and refused to return the favor when he needed her to contribute to the relationship. So ever since, he had been just going through the motions of their relationship while she had regretted her actions and was consistently praising him online and attaching herself to him while he barely acknowledged her. He finally decided that he wasn’t in it anymore and left, and since then he has felt less like a robot and more like a person since he is making the decision to be around people who show up for him like he does for them.

Idk, it’s been a while, but sincerely I haven’t been better, haha lol.

I think I have reached a point in my life where I just can’t remember how it felt when Inwasnt overthinking all the time, or feeling insecure about every single thing I do, I don’t even remember how it was to eat without guilt, without feeling like a failure. Honestly, right now, I think right now is the time were I hate myself the most, there’s not a day were I don’t feel insecure or were I just don’t judge my body.

My insecurities have increased a lot. I have a long list, that resumes that I just hate everything about me, my body and the way I am, act and my personality. Which is funny because, I found myself faking it a lot, and now I don’t know if I really have one.

My relationship with food is getting worse, Its worse than ever, I remember thinking, how could a person stop eating to be skinny, I could not do that ever, I love food. Well that was before my mind decided to torture me every single day about the way my body looks, and before the comparisons. Now I’m the one who starves herself so she can feel “pretty” but can’t control herself when she eats something she likes, and after that the guilt hits and wants to kill herself or just disappear. Now I’m the one who hates shopping because she knows nothing looks good on her, I’m the one who whenever she goes out she sometes herself to everyone. The “why not me”, and the “I wish I had a body like hers” runs in circles all over my head daily. Idk, it’s hard.

There are some days we’re I just eat one meal, and those days are the ones were I feel proud of myself, but whenever I eat, I just can’t help but to feel horrible, like, I shouldn’t have eaten, but lately I can’t stop eating, anxiety hits very hard, making me eat whatever I find, and I say hey it’s ok, I’ll starve the next day or next week but then, I can’t seem to stop, and that day doesn’t come, and it makes me hate myself even more. I just wish so hard that I was skinny, that I don’t overthink every time I eat, that I can control myself. But, it seems impossible? Idk.

I am mad most of the time, or sad or just, like a ghost, I dont feel anything but at the same time everything. Idk, haha . My mood sucks, I am a bitch sometimes with my parents, more with my mom, and I feel bad about it, she doesn’t deserves that, but it’s just that Incant help it. Everything gets me in this bad mood were I just want to be alone, away from them, in my room.

No se que mas decir, son tantas cosas que ni se cómo empezar o cómo describirlas. Pues ya que…

Never mind

piece of your heart

pairing; javier peña x female reader summary; javi takes you out dancing and drunkenly starts saying things in spanish that you can’t understand rating; t warnings; alcohol, drunkenness (and the vomiting that comes after), unrequited feelings (or not?), and angst. word count; 2.4k requested; by two anons. requests under break. a/n; combined these two requests and wrote this on a plane. there’ll be a part two 😉

“javi request where he takes the reader dancing 🥺 something similar to the dance in 3x1 of narcos thank u sm and ur the best !! 💖”

“You are at a bar after work with Steve and Javi. Javi asks you to dance with him. He is drunk & kind of grinding on you and he starts to say some things in Spanish. You don't speak Spanish very well, and assume he is saying lewd things, but when you go home, you remember some of the things he said and you put them in Google Translate and he is actually confessing really sweet things like he loves you, you are the most beautiful woman he has ever seen, an he is so screwed.”

“So, tonight? Wanna go out dancing with some of the others?” Javier has just walked up to your desk and sat on top of your work, staring you down.

“Dancing? No thanks,” you tell Javier.

Going out dancing with Javier Peña? That involved alcohol and lowered inhibitions and you aren’t ready to do that. You’ll admit, having him here, asking you to go dancing with him, it hurts. You can imagine in another life, one where you weren’t living in Colombia and meddling with international politics in a way even the US President would likely disapprove of, you could be brave, step up and tell Javi how you felt. But you were both in a line of work that didn’t allow for relationships, and catching feelings was the worst illness that could befall you.

And you had caught the virus.

“Come on, it’s been a hell of a week for everyone. There’s about seven of us, going over to the disco downtown, we can get plastered, forget about work, have a bit of fun?” he smiles at you, and you shake your head.

“Not tonight, Javi,” you say. “Anyway, it’s Friday, and we work tomorrow.”

You’ve said yes before. That night sucked. You watched him flirt with every woman in the bar, watched him make out with a young woman in a booth. You cried the entire drive home, and on your way up to your apartment, you passed his first-floor apartment and could hear the moans coming from inside. There was nothing crueler than wanting someone you couldn’t have, someone who would sleep with anyone, except you.

The feeling had weighed heavy on your heart for a long time now, and while it was easy to avoid the man, given that you worked in different departments, he managed to find a reason to visit you. Sneaking him classified documents. Helping him with a wiretap. Doing background checks. And every time he asked you’d comply if only to get a few extra minutes of his presence. A bit more time where that smile was directed at you and not one of the many other women in the building. A few moments where you could pretend that he cared.

“You sure? It’s not really a night without my favorite CIA agent,” he says, putting on the sly grin he uses to bend anyone’s will. The one he uses to get informants to reveal a bit more than they intended.

You want, so badly, to say no. To not force yourself to survive another night of suffering. But you’re weak and probably a masochist. And there’s the fact that he’s asking you, begging you, to come with him. To spend time with him. Even if it means you’ll end the night in tears, historically you’ve never been one to turn down time with Javier, no matter how much it hurt, and you weren’t going to stop tonight.

“Fine, but you’re buying the first round,” you agree.

“Good!” He jumps off of your desk. “It’s gonna be great. See you at eight.”

“Eight, okay...”

He leaves the room, a bit more bounce in his gait, and you smile to yourself, knowing that you were the reason for his excitement.

The day passed slowly, you had too many reports to read through and not enough coffee could keep you going. When you finished for the day, you were one of the last ones still in the office, and you headed home, looking forward to a shower and some warmed up leftovers for dinner.

You don’t have plans to drink too much. You don’t want to be hungover at work, and you had a tendency to spill secrets when wasted. With Javier around, that wasn’t something you wanted to get involved with. Still, you make sure you’ve got enough food in your stomach and drink some water so that the inevitable multitudes of shots you’ll be coerced into drinking don’t go straight to your head.

At eight, you’re waiting in the foyer of the complex, along with Steve, Connie, Marta, the current ambassador’s secretary, and Anthony, one of the other DEA agents that lived in the complex. You were going to be meeting another 5, apparently, at the disco. It was turning into quite the evening, especially considering that you had work the next day. You were told the plan was to take two cars over, so two groups could head back whenever, and if you were too drunk, it was close enough you could probably walk or just take a taxi if things went south.

Javi is obviously rushing as he bursts out of his apartment, still buttoning up his shirt. You let your eyes roam over him from the back of the group. He had put some effort into the look for the evening, a nice pair of slacks than he usually wore, and he had done something with his hair.

It makes you feel more than a bit self-conscious of how unimpressive you look before you mentally slap yourself. You’re not here to impress Javier. You don’t need to put in an effort, even if you did he still wouldn’t go for you.

“Ready?” Javier asks, and you all exit the building.

Two hours into the evening, you’re sufficiently tipsy after a couple beers. You had resisted Connie’s multiple offers of shots, but you didn’t stop her from dragging you onto the dance floor for a solid hour. You’re sweaty and a bit tired already, back at the bar where some of the guys in your group are gathered.

You watch as Javier starts knocking back shots of tequila with Anthony, something you weren’t expecting. He was always the one to slowly sip at a glass of whiskey over the night, or drink beer. He must really want to get drunk tonight.

You slip onto a barstool and order a bottle of beer. Javier is a couple feet away, and he’s already acting like he’s lost all control, and you worry about his fate in the morning. He wasn’t usually this careless with his alcohol.

He sidles up next to you, “Y/N! We should go dance.”

He wraps an arm around your shoulders, trying to pull you up off your seat.

“Javi, no,” you say. You should be jumping for joy. Happy that he actually wants to spend time with you. But you know that it’s only because he’s so incredibly drunk.

“Please, darling? I didn’t invite you out so that you could sit here.” he drawls out, his Texas accent appears in moments like this, and you wish it didn’t make you feel things.

He drags his hand down your bare arm, wrapping his fingers around your hand and pulling you up.

“Okay.” You must hate yourself.

He pulls you through the crowds into the center of the dance floor. Arms wrap around your waist, pulling you flush against him, and you yelp in surprise.

“¿Todo bien, compañera?” he laughs in your ear, something light and fluttery.

“Javi you know I don’t speak Spanish,” you say, bowing your head.

“You should, it would sound so beautiful coming from you,” he says and you close your eyes, reminding yourself that he’s so far gone he doesn’t know what he’s saying.

He starts to sway to the music, and his hands on your waist radiate heat straight through your dress. The whole disco is hot, but you feel even warmer wrapped up in Javier. The music thrums through your body, and you look up at his eyes, glittering with the almost-goofy smile he wears.

You want to imagine that this is real. That he’s here, hands all over you, because he wants to. You wish you could move your hands down from around his neck, or pull him in tighter, and not regret it tomorrow morning. You know you’re going to wake up tomorrow alone in bed, remembering how much could have happened if Javier cared, and that he will wake up, probably with someone else, someone who’s in this very room right now.

That thought almost makes you let go of Javier and run away, but he pulls your hips into his, rolling up against you. He lets out a moan that shoots straight to your core, and you close your eyes tight, hoping you’ll open them again for this to be just a dream.

Instead, you open them at the feeling of his breath, hot near your ear.

“Eres tan hermosa, Y/N,” he says.

You don’t know a word he’s saying but you’re pretty sure you have an idea of what he means. He’s grinding up against you, drunk and probably horny, like he is most nights, the words likely meaning something about how he’d like to take you here on the dance floor. Something disgusting and quick and meaningless.

“Me vuelves loco.”

But you’re too tipsy to get caught up on that. You want to pretend he’s saying anything but what you know he’s going on about. Want to pretend his arms aren’t slinking lower down your back until they brush over your ass. You want to believe he’s doing it because he wants to.

You decide it’s better to let go for the night. Maybe you can pretend. Just for an hour.

The music washes over you, and you move your hips along with his, and while he takes the lead, you follow, dancing as if you knew what you were doing.

“Cuando bailas así, no quiero que todos estén aquí,” he groans, “Quiero estar a solas contigo.”

If only you knew what he was saying. If you knew exactly what sort of lewd things he is saying, maybe it would be enough to knock some sense into your head and leave him on the dance floor. But you don’t.

Thank god you don’t.

It means you get to dance in his arms for a little bit more.

“No sabes, porque tu español es una mierda, pero estoy con tantas mujeres para que pueda intentar olvidarte,” he says, “Es tortura, tener alguién tan perfecta como tú, tan cerca, pero tan inalcanzable.”

When he speaks Spanish, he sounds so different. Sometimes, like now, it’s like he’s reciting a love poem. Other times, like when you hear him talking to the police, he becomes someone commanding and aggressive. Not like the Javier who spoke English to you, smiled, and sheepishly asked for favors.

“Nunca ha funcionado, no puedo olvidarte,” he says.

“Javi, you know I don’t understand you, right?” you say and he responds by thrusting his hips into you again. You bite your lip, and it only becomes more painful as you feel his bulge against your body. You’re just another body for him. And that is a sobering realization. You’re about to cry and you’re glad he’s looking over your shoulder and can’t see your face.

“Deseo poder besarte,” he whispers in your ear, “Te quiero.”

You were so stupid to fall for such a man. It’s killing you.

With one hand still on your ass, he brings the other one up, palming your breast. The moan you involuntarily release shocks you enough to push him away.

“Javier,” you say, panicking, “I can’t—“

Before you say anything more you see the twisted look on his face, somewhere between completely ravaged and utterly lost. You turn and, pushing through people, go back to the bar, where you order a shot which you quickly down before sitting down and letting the tears fall.

After fifteen minutes of looking like the saddest person in the disco, the bartender takes pity on you and gives you a glass of water and some tissues. You thank her.

The night had so quickly turned to shit. It was so much worse than previous ones. It was a torture you couldn’t handle anymore.

“Y/N!” screams a voice in your ear, someone drunk and loud.

You turn. It’s Marta.

“What?”

“It’s Javier, he’s outside puking. You’re the soberest of us you need to take him home.”

Shit. Of course this would happen.

“Fine, but take care, Marta, I don’t want you not making it home tonight.”

She thanks you and disappears into the throngs of people.

You settle your tab and Javier’s and go outside. Javier is sitting on the curb, keeled over and emptying his guts onto the stone streets.

If your heart didn’t hurt so much, you’d laugh. You hadn’t known anyone over the age of 30 drunk themselves to this point.

“Javier?” you say.

He looks up and starts to say something, but you can see the regret on his face flash upon opening his mouth as it only brings on another wave of nausea. You look away.

When he finishes, you say, “Come on, Javi, let's get you home.”

He tries to stand and you have to dive into his side to stabilize him. When you’re in a position where you can support his weight, you guide him towards his car.

You strap him into the passenger seat and reach your hand into his pocket, finding the car keys.

The ride home he stays silent. He hasn’t said a word to you since he was whispering in your ear on the dance floor. You suppose he has a fair reason to not open his mouth now though. Probably doesn’t want to soil his own vehicle.

You get him into his apartment just fine, set him up with a glass of water and make him take some pain meds.

“Don’t die on me Javi, no choking on your vomit overnight, okay?” you say and he nods.

Back in your apartment, you sit down on your couch. You should go to sleep. You need to be at work in 7 hours.

But some vicious part of your mind reminds you of the words Javier had said. You curse your curiosity and pull out your Spanish dictionary.

You only remember three phrases, “quiero estar a solas contigo,” “deseo poder besarte,” and “te quiero.”

As you look up the words, your eyes widen. Quiero: I want. Estar: To be. Solas: alone. Contigo: with you.

Shit.

Deseo: I wish. Poder: to be able to. Besarte: to kiss you.

Fuck.

The last one requires you to look it up in the phrasebook. ‘I want you’ didn’t feel right. When you find it you almost drop the book on the floor.

Te quiero: I love you.

next part

translations;

¿Todo bien, compañera?

Everything okay, partner/colleague/girlfriend?

Eres tan hermosa

You are so beautiful

Me vuelves loco.

You drive me crazy

Cuando bailas así, no quiero que todos estén aquí. Quiero estar a solas contigo.

When you dance like that, I don’t want everyone to be here. I want to be alone with you.

No sabes, porque tu español es una mierda, pero estoy con tantas mujeres para que pueda intentar olvidarte

You don’t know because your Spanish sucks, but I’m with so many women so I can try to forget you

Es tortura, tener alguién tan perfecta como tú, tan cerca, pero tan inalcanzable.

It’s torture, having someone as perfect as you, so close, yet so unreachable.

Nunca ha funcionado, no puedo olvidarte

It’s never worked, I can’t forget you

Deseo poder besarte

I wish I could kiss you

Te quiero.

I love you

The witch and the moron ;0

Warnings: Gore & Language I guess??

MC is an extemely powerful witch but has to shut away their abilities due to their strength, because of this MC ends up not mentioning that they’re a witch to the brothers.

During their stay, they become very close with Mammon, eventually falling in love, only for Mammon to shun MC once he finds out that they're a witch. MC is devastated, to say the least, but respects his wishes although they do not fully understand why he would hate them because of their nature when they loved his no matter angel or demon.

That was until one-night around dinner, Mammon in demon form stumbled into the dining room bruised and bloodied barely able to stand as Lucifer rushes to support him. While the brothers shaken by Mammon's appearance begin to try and treat his wounds, MC is more transfixed on the sigil that was burned into his skin. A death curse. It will slowly rip apart his innards if any of the brothers so much as try to stop the bleeding.

As soon as MC identifies the symbol, they let out a booming, "STOP!" realizing a gust of wind that rips through the House of Lamentation, sending the brothers flying away from Mammon's body. MC practically dives onto the floor beside Mammon, cradling his body, "Mammon, I need to know what witch did this to you. It's the only way I can reverse the hex."

Mammon just stares at MC, not knowing whether to trust the human-no witch in front of him. The evident distrust in his eyes is enough to bring MC to tears.

"Mammon, please, I know you hate me and my kind, but if I don't reverse the hex, you'll die! Please...please...let me fix this." Tears now falling freely from their face, MC holds Mammon close, burying their face deep in his white locks.

MC's face was enough to bring Mammon back to his senses as he realized how stupid he was for pushing them away.

"Maleficis Quatuor Resurrexit," was all he was able to get out before his throat began to burn like the fires of hell themself.

But that was all MC needed to hear as they gently lay Mammon's head onto the rug beneath them. Whispering, "I'm so sorry, for what I'm about to do." into his ear.

Slowly standing, MC conjures the runes that sealed away their powers for so long, instantaneously breaking their seals, and in an instant, a blinding white light consumed the House of Lamentation. Mammon is only able to shut his eyes in defence. Though once he opened them, he was greeted with a witch of ethereal beauty. MC. Whose usually (h/c) hair was now as white as his own, accompanied by their eyes that were now silver in colour.

A sad smile flashes across MC's face as they cast a summoning spell. A black smaug filling the air around them as the figure of a woman begins to materialize from the cloud. A familiar witch of nobility steps from the fog into the room,

"Has my little hex become too painful for the Great Mammon?" The witch laughs once their gaze falls upon Mammon form crumpled on the floor.

"He didn't summon you. I did." Mc spat, their words seeping with wrath. Whipping, their head around the witch's smile fades when MC comes into view.

"And you're supposed to be?" The witch asks in an almost joking matter.

"No one. But I will be the last thing you see if you don't lift that barbaric hex this instant."

Fuck. FUCK. Mammon thinks as he watches the two witches from his position on the floor. MC is going to get themselves killed, the witch they summoned is an extremely powerful noble who would not hesitate to slaughter them. Panic sets in, and Mammon tries to prop himself up to no avail. His eyes instantly begin to search the room for his brothers, who he finds already in their demon forms but unable to reach him. He sees Beel, then Lucifer barreling into the space between the open doors to the dining room at top speed only to be shot back by a barrier. Confusion mixes with his panicked thoughts as he wonders who's fucking barrier would be strong enough to contain Lucifer!?

Mammon's thoughts are soon interrupted by the noble witch's laughter.

"Who are you to threaten me?!" the witch says with a sneer.

"Just please, lift the hex. Do that, and you can leave." MC states plainly ignoring the other witches darkening aura.

"You think I take orders from the likes of you? A weak solitary witch? You will watch him DIE today." The witch's entire form now darkening with a menacing purple flame emanating from their skin.

MC doesn't so much as flinch.

"Heh, tanta vis mortem."

The next moments were a blur to Mammon as he watches the noble witch engulfed MC's entire body in flame. Their name falling from his lips in a guttural scream, turning to see his brothers desperately pounding on the barrier trying to get to you both.

Then it happened. MC simply smirked, and the flames that surrounded them quickly dispersed, forming a sigil identical to the one engraved in Mammon's skin on the floor beneath the witch. In an instant, the room's energy shifted as waves of power radiated off of MC's body, their silver eyes turning black as they slowly approached the witch who was now trapped within the sigil.

"You should have obeyed me." MC taunts.

"Who-who are you?" The now frightened witch asks.

"I already told you. I'm your end."

And within a second MC's hand tore through the witch's chest, fingers wrapping around their still-beating heart ripping it out with almost no effort necessary, staring the witch in the eyes as their body disintegrates into ash. MC's quickly places the now-deceased witch's heart in the center of the sigil while whispering a small incantation.

The heart catches flame burning into the sigil below it, and with that, a wave of relief hits Mammon like a truck. The sigil carved into his abdomen fades out of existence, and the burning that consumed his body gone. The pain replaced with concern for the witch who just saved his life who is now slumped on the floor unconscious.

I just needed to put this idea into words it was plauging my mind >:{ Thank you Tumblr for being my brain dump! (I hope my semester of latin paid off)

#obey me #obey me!#obey me imagines #obey me mc #obey me mammon #obey me Lucifer #obey me shall we date #obey me Beel #om! lucifer #om! mammon #obey me beelzebub #I'm trash at writing so my bad

Okay but imagine Joey knows Spanish really well, like I imagine Joey as biracial and half Hispanic, and his s/o speaks Spanish, they dirty talk him and shower him with compliments all the time thinking he doesn’t understand until he claps 👏🏼 back 👏🏼 with some cute compliments or saucy talk of his own!

Idk if this was a request but it IS NOW!!

Joey with a S/O who knows spanish like he does!:

Joey doesn't have the heart to til you that he knows exactly what you've been saying since you two started dating.

He kinda just assumed you knew he was hispanic but clearly you didn't.

He chuckles every time you compliment him to his face or say something dirty to him under your breath.

A few common things you say:

Compliments: "¡Eres tan guapo!" "¡Mira a mi hombre guapo!" "Dios, ¿cómo tuve tanta suerte?"

Dirty: "Quiero resgar apagado toda su ropa." "Por favor divideme." "tu polla es tan grande, por favor, follame!"

NOW IMAGINE HIM ACTUALLY CLAPPING BACK!!!!

"Príncipe / princesa, ¿cuándo y dónde quieres que te folle?" "YOU FUCKING KNEW SPANISH THIS ENTIRE TIME?" "Yep, waited for you to find out."

On a Purer note!

Please imagine y'all have full conversations in spanish around others, everyone's so fucking annoyed.

Frank: pl,,ease, please can you speak normally??

You and Joey: No, no creo que lo haremos

Frank crying: I HATE Y'ALL.

He loves, loves,LOVES giving you petnames and receiving them.

My ESC Review (English and Portuguese)

Albania / Albânia Ktheju tokës by "Jonida Maliqi" I did not like the live presentation of this song for the first time I watched it but it has growing in me since them, it is a really complicated song to perform and the song has an evolution and is growing. It started low and finishes powerful and emotional. Eu não gostei da apresentação ao vivo desta canção pela primeira vez eu assisti-lo, mas tem crescido em mim desde que eles, é uma música muito complicada de realizar e a música tem uma evolução e está crescendo. Começou sem graça e termina poderosa e emocionante. Armenia / Armênia Walking Out by "Srbuk" Another song about a heart breaking, but this was powerful with an performance and her voice made the song sound like an alt pop song and I really liked that. The video and lyrics are so beautiful, oh my god. Outra canção sobre um coração partido, mas esta foi poderosa com uma performance e sua voz fez a música soar como uma música pop Alt e eu realmente gostei disso. O vídeo e as letras são tão lindas.

Australia / Austrália Zero Gravity by "Kate Miller-Heidke" This song is awesome, ok that I said this too many times in this ESC review before the contest, but I really liked that this wined in Australia. This song is simple but pass a message really simple, nothing will bring me down.

Esta canção é incrível, ok que eu disse isso muitas vezes nesta revisão ESC antes do concurso, mas eu realmente gostei que ela ganhou na Austrália. Esta canção é simples, mas passa uma mensagem de uma forma simples, nada vai me derrubar.

Austria / Aústria Limits by "PÆNDA" Her voice is amazing, it's a slow song with so many emotion in it and good lyrics. Maybe It'll grow on me in the next time I hear it, for now it's just one more song on the contest, sadly.

Sua voz é incrível, é uma música lenta com tantas emoções nela e boas letras. Talvez ela vai crescer em mim na próxima vez que eu a ouvir, por agora é apenas mais uma música no concurso, infelizmente.

Azerbaijan / Azerbaijão Truth by "Chingiz" This is one Azerbaijani Pop, I really like the pop vibes and I'm always a good surprise how Azerbaijan makes pop so good with great elements and show how to do a real show with their culture.

Este é um pop azerbaijão, eu realmente gosto das vibrações pop e eu é sempre uma boa surpresa como o Azerbaijão faz pop tão bem, com grandes elementos e mostra como fazer um show com sua cultura

Belarus / Bielorússia Like It by "ZENA" Pop and catchy, it's a great song and I 'like it' a lot, it has a nice beat and the live version makes something really great at the semi.

Pop e cativante, é uma grande canção e eu gosto dela muito, ele tem uma batida agradável e a versão ao vivo faz algo realmente bom na semi.

Belgium / Bélgica Wake Up by "Eliot" Another amazing song, his vocals are amazing and this really feels like a good year to Belgium, the lyrics push the music forward and if the performance is half as powerful than the music video, we will see he in final.

Outra música incrível, seus vocais são incríveis e isso realmente me faz ver como um bom ano para a Bélgica, as letras empurram a música para a frente e se o desempenho for metade tão poderoso do que o vídeo da música, vamos vê-la na final.

Croatia / Croácia The Dream by "Roko" His voice is amazing and that song pass me emotion and power, congratulations Croatia, you made it. Really liked how this song escalated from great to excellent.

Sua voz é incrível e essa música me passa emoção e poder, parabéns Croácia, você fez isso. Realmente gostei de como essa música escalou de ótima até excelente.

Cyprus / Chipre Replay by "Tamta" Cyprus is all pop again, after Fuego success they are trying again with a big Cypriot artist in Replay. I really like the feel of the song, already it is one of the favorites but well... We don't know the future

Chipre é tudo pop novamente, após o sucesso Fuego eles estão tentando novamente com uma grande artista cipriota em Replay. Eu realmente gosto da sensação da música, já é uma das minhas favoritas, mas bem... Não sabemos o futuro.

Czech Republic / República Checa Friend of a Friend by "Lake Malawi" Liked this song, but only liked and find it good. It delivers good vocals and catchy tunes, but nothing else... It's sad because first time I listened I feel it more and it came downwards to me. :/

Gostei desta música, mas só gostei e achei ela boa. Ele oferece bons vocais e melodias cativantes, mas nada mais... É triste porque a primeira vez que eu escutei eu senti mais e ela veio para baixo para mim. :/

Denmark / Dinamarca Love is Forever by "Leonora" This song is good but flat, I feel that song hasn't anything special about it and is flat... This song is better in French, not in English. I really liked the French part.

Esta música é boa, mas plana, eu sinto que a música não tem nada de especial sobre ela e é plana... Esta canção é melhor em francês, não em inglês. Eu realmente gostei da parte em francês.

Estonia / Estônia Storm by "Victor Crone" I like this song but reminds me something that I hate, the name of the thing is american country music and his voice is very american country. It became better in the verse; this song has an evolution and became great.

Eu gosto desta música, mas me lembra algo que eu odeio, o nome da coisa é música sertaneja e sua voz é muito sertaneja. Fica melhor no verso; esta canção tem uma evolução e tornou-se ótima.

Finland / Finlândia Look Away by "Darude feat. Sebastian Rejman" To be sincere, I liked the second place in the final much more, but that wasn't bad at all, it's a good EDM Music with vocals... It's not Darude Sandstorm.

Para ser sincero, eu gostei do segundo lugar na final muito mais, mas que não foi ruim em tudo, é uma boa música EDM com vocais... Não é Darude Sandstorm.

France / França Roi by "Bilal Hassani" This is rare to say, I didn't liked the French entry and I feel like he was choose because he is social media famous and not because of his talent, his voice is good but the verse and the live vocals didn't help it. My main problem is really how the verse is constructed.

Isto é raro, eu não gostei da entrada francesa e eu sinto como ele foi escolhida porque ele é famoso nas mídias sociais e não por causa de seu talento, sua voz é boa, mas o verso e os vocais ao vivo não o ajudavam. Meu principal problema é realmente como o verso é construído.

Georgia / Geórgia Sul tsin iare by "Oto Nemsadze" Georgia is such an awesome country and always sent amazing artists, but I feel that song is incomplete and his voice wasn't totally delivered to the audience. I'm sorry to say that my expectations with this song are low, very low... :(

Geórgia é um país tão incrível e sempre enviou artistas incríveis, mas eu sinto que a música está incompleta e a voz dele não foi totalmente entregue ao público. Lamento dizer que as minhas expectativas com esta música são baixas, muito baixas... :(

Germany / Alemanha Sister by "S!sters" Thank you Germany, I didn't need much work to hate your choice. That's isn't creative at all and it's a flat song. Nothing, really nothing special about it. It would die in the semifinals, but it's really sad that we will see that in the finals... :(

Obrigado Alemanha, eu não precisava de muito trabalho para odiar a sua escolha. Isso não é criativo em nada e é uma canção plana. Nada, realmente nada de especial sobre isso. Ela morreria nas semifinais, mas é muito triste que veremos isso nas finais...:(

Greece / Grécia Better Love by "Katerine Duska" This is a year of surprises, normally we see generic pop sent by Greece and this is another powerful song with great vocals and lyrics, this made my life so complicated because by now I can't put this song in a bad position.

Este é um ano de surpresas, normalmente vemos pop genérico enviado pela Grécia e esta é outra música poderosa com grandes vocais e letras, isso fez a minha vida tão complicada porque agora eu não posso colocar essa música em uma posição ruim.

Hungary / Hungria Az én apám by "Joci Pápai" First time I listening to him on ESC I found the music somehow offensive even did not knowing the lyrics, this song sounds better and pass a beautiful message, and again, sounds better than his first attempt in ESC.

Primeira vez que eu o ouvi no ESC eu encontrei a música de alguma forma ofensiva mesmo não sabendo as letras, esta música soa melhor e passa uma bela mensagem, e novamente, soa melhor do que sua primeira tentativa em ESC.

Iceland / Islândia Hatrið mun sigra by "Hatari" This is different, but this is 'Lordi' different, a winner for being more clear. This is so good and mixes so many good things in music... Nice one Iceland!

Isto é diferente, mas este é ' Lordi ' diferente, um vencedor para ser mais claro. Isso é tão bom e mistura tantas coisas boas na música... Boa Islândia!

Ireland / Irlanda 22 by "Sarah McTernan" This song lacks something and I don't know what it is, but it's lacking something that will makes them go into the finals, sorry Ireland but you maybe It'll die in semifinals... :/

Esta canção carece de algo e eu não sei o que é, mas está faltando algo que vai fazê-los ir para as finais, desculpe Irlanda, mas você talvez ele vai morrer em semifinais...:/

Israel / Israel Home by "Kobi Marimi" For real, I did not expect anything like this from Israel and I'm very glad with that I encountered that and was surprised by that. Really, it one of my favorite songs for this year, for me it's an 'automatically qualified country' who deserves to be in Final

Sinceramente, eu não esperava nada parecido com isso de Israel e estou muito feliz com que eu encontrei isso e fiquei surpreso com isso. Realmente, é uma das minhas canções favoritas para este ano, para mim é um "país automaticamente qualificado" que merece estar em final

Italy / Itália Soldi by "Mahmood" Italy choose well, because this song has strong lyrics, video and song. His voice is really amazing, and I really liked this song at all. Another 'already qualified' song that for me deserves to be in Final

A Itália escolheu bem, porque esta canção tem letras fortes, vídeo e música. Sua voz é realmente incrível, e eu realmente gostei dessa música em tudo. Outra canção "já qualificada" que para mim merece estar em final

Latvia / Letônia That Night by "Caroussel" Ok, this is american country and this upsets me because I liked her voice, but man... I hate american country music.

Ok, isto é country e isso me perturba porque eu gostei da voz dela, mas assim... Detesto música country.

Lithuania / Lituânia Run With the Lions by "Jurij Veklenko" I liked his voice live, but another time I see a problem with the song and not the artist, the lyrics feel weak and the song is flat. I think he has a really good potential, but the song doesn't help him.

Eu gostei da voz dele ao vivo, mas outra vez eu vejo um problema com a música e não o artista, as letras se sentem fracos e a música é plana. Acho que ele tem um potencial muito bom, mas a música não o ajuda.

Malta / Malta Chameleon by "Michela" Another really pop song, this time from Malta and I really liked that song too... I'm a Pop Guy, I can say that this is just growing in me and I hope that goes to the final.

Outra música realmente pop, desta vez de Malta e eu realmente gostei dessa música também... Eu sou um cara pop, eu posso dizer que isso está crescendo em mim e espero que vá para a final.

Modolva / Moldávia Stay by "Anna Odobescu" We don't expected a serious song from Moldova, most of the times we expect a pop generic song with a big performance, a great exception is 'O Mie' on 2013 and again this year, with a song about a heartbreaking with great vocals.

Nós não esperávamos uma música séria da Moldávia, na maioria das vezes esperamos uma música pop genérica com uma grande perfomance, uma grande exceção é 'O Mie' em 2013 e novamente este ano, com uma canção sobre um coração partido com grandes vocais.

Montenegro / Montenegro Heaven by "D Mol" I really didn't understand why this song have so much hate for some people, it's a great song from a great country (I like Montenegro for reasons) and for me it could be in the final for sure. Great vocals and they are really a band that completes itself a lot.

Eu realmente não entendo por que essa música tem tanto ódio por algumas pessoas, é uma ótima canção de um ótimo país (eu gosto de Montenegro por razões) e para mim pode estar na final, com certeza. Grandes vocais e eles são realmente uma banda que se completa muito.

Netherlands / Países Baixos Arcade by "Duncan Laurence" This video is so conceptual and I liked how it looks, the song is an alternative pop and I really liked it, not my favorite but I hope that didn't flop... It's the Netherlands, we never know. The good thing that at least it's not american country music.

Este vídeo é tão conceitual e eu gostei de como ele olha, a música é um pop alternativo e eu realmente gostei, não o meu favorito, mas espero que não flop... É a Holanda, nunca sabemos. A coisa boa que pelo menos não música country americana.

North Macedonia / Macedônia do Norte Proud by "Tamara Todevska" Woman/Girl Power. It is a strong message to put in a song and she made it and that's awesome, I'm proud to really like this song!

Poder feminino. É uma mensagem forte para colocar em uma música e ela fez isso e isso é incrível, eu estou orgulhoso de realmente gosto desta canção!

Norway / Noruega Spirit in The Sky by "KEiiNO" Watched the live version and listened to the studio version, there is some corrections that it could improve in live, some vocals seems off when you're compare both versions... But well, it's an earworm and it can't be off my mind, and many minds, and that will make maybe put they in the final.

Assisti a versão ao vivo e ouvi a versão do estúdio, há algumas correções que poderia melhorar ao vivo, alguns vocais parecem fora quando você comprara as duas versões... Mas bem, é um Earworm e ela não vai ficar fora da minha mente, e de muitas mentes, e isso que vai fazer talvez colocá-los na final.

Poland / Polônia Fire of Love (Pali się) by "Tulia" First time listening this entirely and really like the song, it's a rock melody in Polish and sounds awesome. It surely will grow in me and I will be really upset to not see that in the final, please Europe (and Australia), don't let this happen.

Primeira vez ouvindo isso inteiramente e realmente como a música, é uma melodia de rock em polaco e soa incrível. Ela seguramente vai crescer em mim e eu vou estar realmente chateado por não ver que na final, por favor, Europa (e Austrália), não deixe isso acontecer.

Portugal / Portugal Telemóveis by "Conan Osiris" I'm going to break my cellphone if It didn't pass to the final, this song is somehow a masterpiece and something we didn't expected from Portugal... The lyrics has no verse and it uses a very powerful word that only exists in Portuguese: Saudade

Eu vou quebrar meu celular se isso não passar para a final, esta canção é de alguma forma uma obra-prima e algo que não esperávamos de Portugal... A letra não tem versos e usa uma palavra muito poderosa que só existe em Português: saudade

Romania / Romênia On A Sunday by "Ester Peony" Another song that I did not liked in the first time, the song is good and did not grown on me, nothing at all and It still find a really weak song in a powerful year. Her voice is just good, like the song.

Outra canção que eu não gostei na primeira vez, a música é boa e não cresceu em mim, nada. E complicado encontrar uma música muito fraca em um ano poderoso. A voz dela é somente boa, como a música.

Russia / Rússia Scream by "Sergey Lazarev" Sergey Lazarev is one of the returning artists of this year, he is known with by the pop songs, and Scream definitely isn’t a pop song, it shows his voice and great talent and also how Russia wants to win ESC again, also, I hope the live presentation is great like the music video.

Sergey Lazarev é um dos artistas que retornam deste ano, ele é conhecido pelas canções pop, e Scream definitivamente não é uma canção pop, ela mostra sua voz e grande talento e também como a Rússia quer ganhar ESC novamente, também, espero que a apresentação ao vivo é grande como o vídeo da música.

San Marino / San Marino Say Na Na Na by "Serhat" San Marino is my favorite micronation in ESC, but I already know that this will be flopping in the semifinals, is a generic pop in a really strong year in ESC, this could be in final... In 2010. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

San Marino é a minha micronação favorita no ESC, mas eu já sei que isso vai ser flopada nas semifinais, é um pop genérico em um ano muito forte no ESC, isso poderia ser na final... Em 2010. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Serbia / Sérvia Kruna by "Nevena Božović" She has the voice, the song and the rhythm fit in his voice, I feel Serbia in this song and that's awesome, to feel a country spirit in a song that seems, at least for me, powerful.

Ela tem a voz, a música e o ritmo cabe em sua voz, eu sinto a Sérvia nesta canção e isso é incrível, para sentir um espírito do país em uma canção que parece, pelo menos para mim, poderoso.

Slovenia / Eslovênia Sebi by "Zala Kralj & Gašper Šantl" Well, another alternative Pop but this time without any strong vocals. The song seems kinda flat and that's not good in this year.

Bem, outro pop alternativo, mas desta vez sem qualquer voz forte. A música parece meio plana e isso não é bom neste ano.

Spain / Espanha La Venda by "Miki" La Venda Ya Cayo!!! I really loved that song and how it sounds and feels, the music video and studio version didn't pass the real happiness of the song and don't deliver how Miki delivers it live. This is a Spanish live bop, and again, if competed in semi I think that this could pass to the finals.

Eu realmente amei essa música, como ela soa e é, o vídeo da música e a versão estúdio não passa a real felicidade da música e não entrega como Miki a entrega ao vivo. Este é um Bop espanhol, e novamente, se ela competisse na semifinal eu acho que isso poderia passar para as finais.

Sweden / Suécia Too Late For Love by "John Lundvik" Another really nice surprise that I wasn't expecting, this song is pop and powerful, the fact that the video is a live version and shows how good he sings live is a bonus, this is a full Eurovision performance. Outra surpresa realmente agradável que eu não estava esperando, esta música é pop e poderosa, o fato de que o vídeo é uma versão ao vivo e mostra o quão bom ele canta ao vivo é um bônus, este é uma performance completo do Eurovision.

Switzerland / Suiça She Got Me by "Luca Hänni" This song is awesome and the singer delivers it to us, it's a pop song with pop lyrics and pop dance. But I can't say that I didn't like and want it in the finals, please pass

Esta música é incrível e o cantor entrega para nós isso, é uma música pop com letras pop e dança pop. Mas eu não posso dizer que eu não gostei e quero isso na final, por favor, passe

United Kingdom / Reino Unido Bigger Than Us by "Michael Rice" UK should sent Mans, because the interval act was better than this song... He has a nice voice but, the song is bad and it was a poor choice for UK. Maybe this song could die in Semi, but sadly UK is auto qualified country.

O Reino Unido devia ter enviado o Mans, porque o ato de intervalo foi melhor do que esta canção... Ele tem uma boa voz, mas, a música é ruim e foi uma má escolha para o Reino Unido. Talvez esta canção poderia morrer nas semifinais, mas infelizmente o Reino Unido é país automaticamente qualificado.

PREFIERO - ANTÍLOPEZ

(they don’t have a Music Video sorry)

First of all, here’s a link to the previous post: https://jackdragon20.tumblr.com/post/185127104581/en-alg%C3%BAn-lugar-duncan-dhu-first-of-all-this

So, as a quick reminder, from tomorrow on I’ll do one of these each day for a week as a celebration for 400 followers!!

Let’s start with this song (the most modern one I’ve talked about):

First of all, “Antílopez” is a duet, formed by José Félix López and Miguel Ángel Márquez, that started in 2007 in Huelva, although just recently has started blowing up, thanks to this song and in particular. They said they make “chiripop”, a mix between the andalusian “chirigotas” and pop, and their sound is usually comical and critical, happy and ironic.

“Prefiero” (I prefer) came out in 2013 but really came popularized (at least how I got to know it) after an OT contestant sung it in the program (note that I’m gonna try and introduce OT things in every post, don’t worry, one of this week’s posts is gonna be exclusively about that program)

You may know who sung it, Miki, the one that represented Spain this year at Eurovision with “La Venda”. Here is his version of the song (not that it was the first gala of the Program and all 18 contestants had to sing, that’s why it’s so short):

https://youtu.be/U-AhWuMNneg

The song itself it’s one of those songs you can just not sing them out loud, it’s impossible. And for me it holds a special meaning, because one friend of mine, Luis, really likes Antílopez, and when we visited him at Maastricht on January (he studies there) we were all the time singing this song, I remember walking along the riverside back to his house singing on top of our longs this song and people passing by a bit weirded out. But for me, this song represents Maastricht right now, and it takes me there.

Here are the lyrics (I don’t understand most of them even in Spanish, so don’t worry if they don’t have much sense)

Prefiero ser sumiso y protestante

I prefer being submissive and protester Del partido militante que odie toda dictadura

Of the activist party that hates all dictatorship Prefiero ser canalla delirante

I prefer being a delirious scoundrel Con la talla de importante si la cosa se hace dura.

Trying to come up as important if things get rough Prefiero no perderme en la semana

I prefer not to get lost in the week Me gustan grandes y enanas

I like big and tiny ones Vivo a base de milésimas

I live within milliseconds Y aunque esta forma de escribir tan pésima

And even if this dreadful way of writing No sirva para alardear de parla

Isn’t useful to brag about my speech (my way of talking)

Prefiero ser tan púdico

I prefer being so modest A veces no ser único

Some times not being the only one Prefiero tantas cosas que no están bien vistas

I prefer so many things that aren’t well regarded Preferir

To prefer Prefiero la buena suma

I prefer the good sum A ojos de buen cubero

In a good pail’s eyes De gordas en las barras con pantalón de cuero

Hanging out in the bar with a leather belt Prefiero los bombones que no están rellenos

I prefer the chocolates that aren’t stuffed Y prefiero ir por la tangente

And I prefer going through the tangent Entre el seno y el coseno

Between the sinus and the cosine (1) Y prefiero la falsa cama

And I prefer the false bed Si te vi no me acuerdo

If I saw you I don’t remember De toda la sana locura

Of all the sane insanity De los que llaman cuerdos

Of the ones they call sane Prefiero el premio gordo del que es cuponero

I prefer the big prize of the coupon holder Y tantas relaciones que esconden dinero

And so many relationships that hide money Y prefiero y prefiero

And I prefer and I prefer Prefiero no ajotarme a alguna moda

I prefer not to get into any trend No asistir a algunas bodas

Not to go to some weddings No ser nunca un ignorante

Not to be always an ignorant. Prefiero discutir sobre los temas

I prefer talking about topics Que aunque no sea mi problema

That even though they aren’t my problem Resulten interesantes

They seem interesting Prefiero aprovechar mañana y cama

I prefer to seize the morning and the bed No pensar frases marranas

Not to think dirty phrases Y tirar de la cisterna

And to flush the toilet Prefiero no medirme la entrepierna

I prefer not to measure my crotch

Prefiero imaginar bajo tu falda

I prefer to imagine under your skirt

Okay that was hard af. I even had to look up things in the dictionary, wtf Antílopez?

Anyways, this song is not about the lyrics or the meaning, is just about the general feeling that it conveys, of happiness and of having a great time.

If you like this song, I recommend you also listen to “Musa en paro busca poeta” and “Yo Tengo el Dominio”. And also this group called Arnau Griso, I tend to mix up the two of them because they are really similar.

Hope you enjoyed the post!!!

[Diabolik Lovers: Dark Fate] Subaru Sakamaki Dark 09 Translation/Traducción

Please no reposting onto other sites, just link back to this post-and ask me before translating this into other languages!—-Por favor no republiques y preguntame antés de traducir a otras idiomas.

English

Scene: Sakamaki Mansion Guest Room

Yui:....Hey, Subaru.

Subaru: What is it?

Yui: Um...is it okay if I get up now?

Subaru: Nope.

Yui: It’s still no use..?

Subaru: Not until that poison is completely out of your system. Until then, just sleep.

Yui: (But I feel fine...)

Yui: (I’m not crazy to think that since the incident Subaru has been more overprotective, right...?)

Yui: (I´ll get in trouble if I´m found with Christa...he told me to stay in the room as much as possible...I dont get it.)

Subaru:...What’s with your expression? You seem disappointed.

Yui: It’s that I feel fine...

Yui: It’s great that you’re taking care of me but...you clearly seem to be getting fatigued.

Subaru: I’m not tired at all. It’s more tiring to worry about you.

Subaru: So, If you dont want me tired, stay where I can see you.

Yui: (Looks like he’s overly worried after all. One wrong choice and I could be in danger...even though it seems needless.)

Yui: (And I also want to see how Christa is doing...I haven’t seen her since.)

Yui: Hey, Subaru. How’s Christa doing..?

Subaru: Dunno. She’s been in her room and can’t get bothered in there.

Yui: You haven’t met with her?

Subaru: How could I catch up with her when she almost killed you?

Yui: Your tone...

Subaru: You’re too nice for your own good! Learn how to stand up for yourself. You were almost killed because of that.

Yui: Yea...

Yui: (I know where Subaru is coming from in saying these things, but...)

Yui: (I would hate to be the reason for their relationship worsening.)

Yui:..I still wonder what Christa’s reason for trying to kill me was.

Subaru: You weren’t the one she intended to target. She meant to target Cordelia and you were just mixed up in it an took the blow.

Subaru: It seems like you didn’t do anything in particular, she simply did it out of vengeance.

Yui: Though, I dont know why she would try to kill me only because of that hatred.

Subaru:..I’ll tell you something though. My mother wanted my father all for herself.

Subaru: So, it would make sense that Christa saw Cordelia as an obstacle and attempted to eliminate her.

Subaru: In trying to have my father all for themselves, things went too far...its pathetic.

Yui:...I wonder if thats the real reason.

Subaru: What is it?

Yui: That day, Christa told me something about how she felt used. Did she ever tell you about something like that?

Yui: On that, she later told me something related about how someone had a higher reason for needing them...

Yui: And then, she said that this person only took notice of Cordelia because she was a founder.

Subaru: Founder? Reiji mentioned something like that before didn’t he? The “First Bloods”.

Yui: Yea...from what Christa said, it seems that Cordelia is one of them...but...

Subaru: Hah, thats not possible. It would mean that Ayato and his brothers are founders.

Subaru: But because they dont hold any special power, that cant be the case.

Yui: Thats what I thought as well...

Subaru: Christa is only a crazy women spouting foolishness, dont pay any mind to her.

Subaru: Only focus on getting better.

Yui: But...

Subaru: This conversation is over.

Subaru: What that old man does isn’t of our concern. Simply the thought of him makes me sick.

Subaru: Dont think about unnecessary things. And for now, do as you’re told.

Yui:...I understand.

Subaru: If you think its best, I’ll forget this happened.

Yui: Eh?

Subaru gets close

Yui: S-Subaru!?

Subaru: You were the one who said “I’m already fine”, Yui.

Selection: Wait! or It’s okay

♥It’s okay.

Yui:..Its okay.

Subaru: Heheh...Well aren’t you obedient?

Subaru: Stay where you are, dont move.

Yui: Eh?

Subaru: I just told you, do as you’re told.

Subaru kisses her

Yui:..Subaru...

Subaru:..Now look. I dont have the strength to resist you.

Subaru:..I cant drink your blood now or you’ll be completely drained.

Subaru: I already feel like you’ll collapse, sorry.

Subaru: For today...I’ll only kiss you. Just do as I say and rest...

Ending Monologue Selection

While recieving gentle kisses, I couldn’t figure out whether I was happy or sad. It was a complicated feeling.

With the distance Christa and Subaru hold against each other, I wondered if I could be a high part in it.

That being the case, it might be better for me not to talk to Christa. Am I really okay with that?

Soon, my thoughts were abandoned between breathless kisses.

Yui:....Eh, Subaru.

Subaru: Que?

Yui: Me dejas despertar?

Subaru: No.

Yui: Todavía nó?

Subaru: No hasta que el veneno salga de tú sistema. Hasta entonces, duermá.

Yui: (Pero estoy bien...)

Yui: (No estoy loca por pensar que Subaru esta mucho mas sobreprotector que antés, verdad...?)

Yui: (Estaré en problemas si me encuentro con Christa, dijó que necesito quedarmé en la recamera lo mas que posible...no entiendo porque me dice eso.)

Subaru: Esa cara? Pareces insatisfecha.

Yui: Es que siento bien...

Yui: Es bueno que estas cuidandomé, pero, claramente estas cansado.

Subaru: No estoy cansado. Estoy mas ajetreado lejos de tí.

Subaru: A sí que, esí no quieres que yo sea cansado, quedaté donde te puedo ver.

Yui: (Parece que esta demasiado preocupado. Solo una acción puede ponermé en peligro...aunque sea innecessario.)

Yui: (Y tambien quiero ver como esta Christa.. no la hé visto desde el incidente.)

Yui: Oye, Subaru. Como esta Christa?

Subaru: No sé. Esta en su cuarto y no puede enlococersé ahí.

Yui: No la haz visitado?

Subaru: Como piensas que podriá visitarla cuando casí te mata?

Yui: La manera en que lo dijiste...

Subaru: Por tú propio bien, debes aprender como defenderte. Hasta casí mueres.

Yui: Entiendo..

Yui: (Sé que Subaru esta diciendo estas cosas por mi bien, pero...)

Yui: (No quiero tener la culpa que se pongan de mal acuerdo.)

Yui:...La unica cosa que mi molesta es la razón Christa podriá tener á intentar de matarmé.

Subaru: No era sú intención matarté a tí, si no, a Cordelia. Solamente tomasté el golpe.

Subaru: Parece que no hiciste algo en particular. Solamente deseabá venganza.

Yui: Pero, no sé porque de repenté la ocurrio intentar matarmé...

Subaru: Ya lo dijisté tantas vezes. Mas de lo normal.

Subaru:..Voy a dicir algo. Mi madre quería tener a mi papa para ella misma.

Subaru: Es probable que vió á Cordelia como ún obstaculo y quería matarla. De esa manera, Cordelia sería eliminada como una rival.

Subaru: En tratando de obtener a mi padré para ellas mismas, todo se enloquesió...realmente era pateticó.

Yui:..Me pregunto si será la razón.

Subaru: Que te sucedé?

Yui: Esé día, Christa mi digo que sentiá usada. Quizas de comento algo asi?

Yui: Despues, mi digo algo relaciónado. Que alguien las necesitaba por una razón superior.

Yui: Luego, ella mi dijó que esa persona solo se fijó en Cordelia porque ella era una fundadora.

Subaru: Fundador? Reiji dijó algo sobré eso antes. Los llamaban “First Blood”, no?

Yui: Si, y parece que Cordelia es una de ellos, pero...

Subaru: Hah, no puede ser. Significariá que Ayato y sus hermanos son fundadores.

Subaru: Y en turno, significariá que ellos tendrián poderes fuera de lo normal por uno de nosotros. Y como no lo tienen, es imposible.

Yui: Pensé lo mismo...

Subaru: Christa solo es una mujer loca diciendo tonterías, no la hagas caso.

Subaru: Por ahora, solamente piensa en tú recuperasión.

Yui: Pero...

Subaru:..Esta conversación termina aquí.

Subaru: Lo que el viejo haga no es nuestro asunto. Solo pensando en el me da asco.

Subaru: No pienses en cosas innecessarias. Ahora, obedecemé.

Yui:...Entendido.

Subaru: Por lo mejor, olvidaré que paso.

Yui: Eh?

Subaru se acerca

Yui: S-Subaru!?

Subaru: Tú eras la que dijó “Ya estoy bien”, Yui.

Selección: Espera! o Esta bien.

♥Esta bien.

Yui:...Esta bien.

Subaru: Heheh...que docile?

Subaru: Quedaté en tú logar. No te muevas.

Yui: Eh?

Subaru: Te dije que solo hagas lo que te digo.

Subaru la besa

Yui:...Subaru...

Subaru: Ahora mira, no tengo el poder de resistirté.

Subaru: Asi que, no puedo chupar tú sangré.

Subaru: Ya casí siento que te vas a caer, perdonamé.

Subaru: Por hoy...solo te besaré. Por ahora solo obedemé y descanses...

Monologo Final Selección

En recibiendo sus besos gentiles, No entendiá si yo estaba feliz or triste. Era un sentido complicado.

En la distancia que tienen Subaru y Christa, Me preguntaba si yo fuera una parte mayor.

Siendo el caso, es posible que es mejor que ya no hablé con Christa. Estaré bien con eso?

Rapidamente, mis piensamientos fueron abandonados entre sus besos.

Día 7 - Sólo por él y para él (drabble) [English/Español]

ENGLISH UP

Day 7 – Free @kymanweek

Word Count: 687

Warnings: based on spookyfish ep, so the drabble is about evil!Kyle and evil!Eric.

Synopsis: Cartman celebrates his 13rd birthday and Kyle thinks about why he likes the fatass.

For the first day, I wanted to write an one-shot about Cartman’s b-day but I ended up writing something different because this idea didn’t match with the first prompt. Anyway~ I really had maaaany ideas for today but, as I wanted to write something related to another of my fics, I decided to use this idea for the seventh day.

Oh, and this doesn’t really have to do with “In a Mirror, Festively” but other fic of mine. But, of course, I got some inspiration from SleepyEule and SynapticFirefly headcanons (sorry, that fic is only in Spanish for the moment).

ESPAÑOL ABAJO

Día 7 – Día Libre

Palabras: 675

Advertencias: basado en el AU spookyverse, así que estas versiones son evil!Kyle y evil!Eric.

Sinopsis: Cartman celebra su cumpleaños nº 13 y Kyle se pone a pensar sobre porqué le gusta el culón.

Para el 1 de julio, tenía ganas de escribir algo por el cumpleaños de Eric, pero me salió otra cosa y la idea esta no podía usarla para el prompt de ese día. Pues bueno~ tenía muuuuchas ideas para escribir hoy, pero como tengo hace días ganas de seguir escribiendo mi otro fic, terminé decantándome por esto.

Esto se puede leer por separado, pero también como un recuerdo dentro de “Harmonía Ilusioria”.

También lo pueden leer en [wattpad]

Y si quieren leer todos mis aportes: [De Culones Racistas y Judíos de Jersey]

ENGLISH

Day 7 / Free – Because of him and only for him.

Eric Cartman.

Eric Cartman was the most stupid kid in South Park. That was something that everybody knew and, for that reason, all in town usually mocked at him.

Helping others? Thinking about their well-being without receiving anything in exchange? Bullshit! In that full of violence world, if you took care about others, you signed your own death sentence. And that way, people like Eric Cartman didn’t usually survive their first living years.

Stalked, kidnapped, hunted…

Sometimes, there was that kind of news about people like Eric due to the fact that their arrest or their death were of general interest.

But there were also lots of urban legends about them since, in a violent and bloodthirsty society, honest and kind people weren’t just considered scums that couldn’t protect themselves, they were also a part of that list of abominable creatures that nobody wanted to find when turning their head in the middle of a dark night. Receiving a sneaky stab from your best friend was less scary than finding somebody who truly wanted to give you a hand…

So, why that fatass was laughing and smiling a lot in his 13rd birthday celebration? There were just 4 people at that party, one cake and nothing kind of violent activity… Kenny and Stan could try to kill each other or something to add some fun, right?…… Nah. With Wendy there, Stan wasn’t going to do a shit… Seriously, what the hell was doing Wendy there?!

Seriously, for Kyle Broflovski’s mind was easier to understand why Eric could have reach that age successfully than why he was so fucking happy. Besides, Kyle was busier, sitting there and hating everything since he couldn’t put that stupid birthday hat properly because of his stupid jewfro. Agh, fuck that hat! They were too old for that crap!

But, to be honest, he didn’t care about the reason of that happiness. Eric was stupid, right? And many of the things Eric did or said were strange and couldn’t be understand by normal people.

People like Cartman were really scarce and their childhoods were usually more than horrible. Most of them died at the hands of their own parents at the very moment they became aware of their child ‘condition’. And those kids who had parents that had decided love them no matter what didn’t usually find the same benevolence from school mates. Or teachers…

For that reason, their kindergarten teacher had tried to kill him, to the point of setting on fire the whole building with all of them inside. She hated Eric because she was scared of him. Of his joy. Of his big smile. And of his pure wishes of helping others.

And many people in town were scared too. Many of them were always insulting him, repudiating him… and, sometimes, somebody tried to kill him.

Ah… Kyle still remembered that time when that idiot from sixth grade had thought that throwing Cartman on that dimensional portal was going to be so funny… Ah… well, Stan and he had had a lot of fun killing that idiot.

“Kahl. Do you need some help with your hat?”, asked Eric before walking closer to him.

Kyle should do the same. He should be scared of him. Hate him. Repudiate him. Kill him…

But nothing of that would happen. Because that smile and those pure wishes had to be for him. All for him. That was one of the first thoughts that Kyle had about Eric. And, in the following years, that had got strength and intensity to the point of falling in love.

Yes. Kyle Broflovski loved the most stupid kid in South Park. His kindness and shyness. His happiness and his pure heart. His…

“Happy birthday, fatass.” Kyle said taking advantage of Eric’s closeness to steal him a kiss. Now his boyfriend’s face was completely reddened. And his smile was much more beautiful. If Eric was happy, Kyle didn’t care about understanding why he was smiling before. But it was better when he knew that Eric was smiling because of him and only for him.

Adorable.

Eric Cartman was just adorable.

---------------------------------------------------------------

The evil Kyle is evil but he can’t help to himself and don’t act a bit silly when something has to do with Eric www. And he don’t understand why birthdays are funny since, in my spookyverse HC, they aren’t funny without some violent stuff. But, anyways, Kyle doesn’t care if he doesn’t understand, he only wants Eric to be happy (he is smart as the good Kyle but he lives in a society that considers Eric a bad thing; like we consider murderers in ours).

Anyways~ yeah, in my opinion: in the spookyverse, good people aren’t just hated but they are people to be afraid of.

Ah, it doesn’t say it in the drabble but evil Wendy has some kind of friendship with evil Eric. (tbh, many people likes evil Cartman and Kyle hate that fact www)

---------------------------------------------------------------

ESPAÑOL

Día 7 / Día Libre – Sólo por él y para él

Eric Cartman.

Eric Cartman era el niño más estúpido de South Park. Eso todos los sabían y, por eso, todos se reían de él.

¿Ayudar a otros? ¿Velar por su bienestar sin esperar nada a cambio? ¡Estupideces! En ese mundo, donde la violencia era moneda corriente, preocuparse por el prójimo era sentencia de muerte. Y, por esa razón, la gente como Eric Cartman usualmente no sobrevivía a sus primeros años de vida.

Acechados, secuestrados, cazados…

Cada tanto había noticias así respecto a la gente como Eric; pues la aprensión o muerte de alguien con Eric era motivo de interés general.

Pero también había leyendas urbanas sobre ellos, puesto que –para esa sociedad violenta y sanguinaria– las personas bondadosas y honestas no sólo eran consideradas simples escorias que no podían luchar, sino que eran parte de ese catálogo de criaturas abominables que, en una noche oscura, jamás te querrías encontrar al voltear. Una puñalada trapera por parte de tu mejor amigo era mucho menos espeluznante que alguien servicial, dispuesto a darte indicaciones correctas…

Entonces, ¿por qué aquel culón estaba celebrando su cumpleaños número 13 con tanta alegría mientras reía? Allí sólo había 4 invitados, un pastel y ningún tipo de actividad violenta… Kenny y Stan podrían intentar matarse o algo para aportar algo de diversión, ¿verdad?…… Nah. Estando Wendy allí, Stan no haría una mierda… En serio, ¿¿por qué carajos estaba Wendy allí??

En serio, a la mente de Kyle Broflovski le era más fácil comprender la causa de por qué Eric había logrado llegar exitosamente a esa edad, que el motivo de su inmensa felicidad actual. Además, estaba más ocupado sentado y odiando todo porque no se podía colocar el estúpido sombrero de cumpleaños por culpa de su estúpido afro judío. ¡Agh, al carajo con el sombrero! ¡Ya estaban muy grandes para esas mierdas!

Aunque tampoco le importaba realmente comprender ni saber el motivo de su felicidad. Eric Cartman era estúpido, ¿verdad? Y muchas de las cosas que hacía o decía, iban más allá del entendimiento de la gente promedio.

Las personas como Cartman eran realmente escasas y sus infancias solían ser más que terribles. Muchos morían en las manos de sus propios padres, una vez estos comenzaban a ser conscientes de su ‘condición’. Los que no, porque tenían progenitores que habían aprendido a amarlos sin importar qué, no solían encontrar el mismo tipo de comprensión de sus compañeros de colegio. O de los propios profesores…

Por algo, la maestra de preescolar había tratado de matarlo, llegando al punto de incendiar el edificio con todos adentro. Ella odiaba a Eric, porque le tenía miedo. A su alegría. A su gran sonrisa. Y a sus deseos tan puros por ayudar a otros.

Y, de hecho, muchos lo hacían en el pueblo. La mayoría siempre estaba insultándolo y repudiándolo… y, cada tanto, alguien intentaba asesinarlo.

Ah… Kyle aún recordaba la vez que aquel idiota de sexto grado había creído que sería muy divertido el arrojar a Cartman por aquel portal dimensional… Ah… bueno, Stan y él se habían divertido bastante matando a ese idiota.

—Kahl. ¿N-necesitas ayudar con tu gorro? —preguntó Eric antes de acercarse a él.

Kyle debería hacer lo mismo. También debería temerle. Odiarlo. Repudiarlo. Matarlo…

Pero eso no sucedería. Porque esa alegría, esa sonrisa y esos deseos tan puros debían ser suyos. Y sólo suyos. Aquel fue uno de los primeros pensamientos que tuvo hacia Eric y, con los años, había cobrado tanta fuerza e intensidad que se había enamorado.

Sí. Kyle Broflovski amaba al niño más estúpido de South Park. Por su amabilidad y timidez. Por su alegría y su buen corazón. Por su…

—Feliz cumpleaños, culón. —dijo el judío, aprovechando la proximidad del otro para robarle un beso.

Ahora su novio tenía la cara completamente roja. Aparte de una sonrisa aún más hermosa. Daba lo mismo el por qué estuviera sonriendo antes mientras fuera feliz. Pero era mejor saber que ahora sonreía sólo por él y para él.

Adorable.

Eric Cartman era simplemente adorable.

---------------------------------------------------------------

El Kyle malvado es malvado, pero no puede evitar ponerse pendejo por su culón :’v Y no entiende por qué un cumpleaños es gran cosa para estar feliz porque en mi HC los cumpleaños no son realmente divertidos en el spookyverse si no tienen algo de violencia (?). Pero, a fin de cuentas, no le importa entender, sólo saber que Eric es feliz. (no es que no lo intente, no puede entenderlo xD es inteligente como el otro Kyle pero consideren en qué tipo de sociedad vive; Eric representa todo lo malo en la nuestra, so~)

Como dije antes, esto puede tomarse como un recuerdo dentro de “Harmonía Ilusioria”. Y sí, para mí, la gente buena en el universo malvado: más que simplemente odiada, es algo a lo que se le debe temer.

Ah, y no lo digo en el drabble pero evil Wendy tiene una especie de amistad con evil Eric. (tbh, evil Eric le agrada a mucha gente y eso le caga a evil Kyle pffff)

My Worst Language Learning Habits.

The whole point of this blog is, to be honest, so as much as I love sharing all of the good stuff I feel it is also very important to share all of the things that I am not the best at. It is good to recognize what isn’t going as good as you think so you can change your language learning habits to better ones. Personally, I don’t think it is healthy to hide all of your mistakes. I mean, I won’t be going around telling everyone about my flaws but I will recognize them if I think that it will make some good. It is liberating to talk about these things and to know that, we are not the only ones that do these things. Maybe you will feel identified or you will think I am really lazy, I am ok with whatever you think.

Photo by JESHOOTS.COM on Unsplash

- Sticking to a schedule -

I try to! In fact, I love schedules but sometimes my emotions get in the way and I end up doing nothing. I can’t really get as much done as I would want to, I need to take shorts breaks between one activity and the next, I can’t go directly from editing a video to study Italian, even though, that would be the most practical thing to do. I will often procrastinate from one activity to the other, that’s why I convinced myself that before starting to study a language I have to do a “warm-up session” that gets me into the language learning mood. I try not to focus so much on these things but honestly most of the times I feel overwhelmed because I would like to be more productive. I would love to stay focused for more time, I would love to jump from one thing to the other, multitasking is my dream ability. But that’s not me and I have to work with what I have. I know I am great at other things and have to find my own way of doing stuff.

- I don’t know how to commit -

This has been my main area of growth this year. It is so hard for me to stick with one thing and really commit to it. I have to constantly tell myself that I just can’t add another language to my routine, I barely have time for the ones that I’m already learning. I have to come up with ways to keep committed and motivated to all areas of my life and sometimes it drains my energy, but I know is something that I have to get used to if I actually want to achieve something in life! I can’t finish a book, but I love myself a good challenge, so I bought a book in Dutch I know if I bought it then I would have to read it rather if it was just from the library. I have it as a reminder that I have to finish all that I start. Commitment has always been my issue. I don't stop myself from exploring languages I crave, in fact, I follow many of the tips that my dear friend Chrissa shared in her last post. I give myself the opportunity to enjoy new languages but commit to as little as possible because that's all I can handle right now. I'm learning to be better in this area, and I give myself as much time as I need to learn. Honestly, if you aren't patient with yourself, who is going to?

- Learning grammar -

I definitely have a love/hate relationship with grammar. I need it because I love to speak correctly. Grammar is everything. But I get so bored with textbooks, I really need more practical ways to learn it. Maybe it is because so far I have only learned languages in an immersion environment or maybe is the fact that I get distracted so easily. I still have to figure out what's the deal between me and grammar. I really want to learn more but I don't enjoy it as much. This is the reason why you will hardly see me talking about textbooks. I think I might even stick with sentence mining and just have a quick check whenever I have doubts. I do feel better sharing it with the world and definitely will try to work on them. I have to say maybe the secret thing we have prepared for you in June will help me get better at these. Soon you will know what that's all about. Anyway, for now, you get that we all have our issues. Did you felt identified or think I'm just lazy? Mari

Mis Peores Hábitos de Aprendizaje de Idiomas.

Una de las cosas más importantes de este blog es que mantengamos la honestidad, y aunque me encante compartir con ustedes todas las cosas buenos creo que es importante compartir también todo aquello que no hago muy bien. Es bueno reconocer lo que no esta andando como quisiéramos para poder cambiar estos hábitos de aprendizaje de idiomas que te estan estancando, a unos hábitos más productivos. En lo personal, no considero que sea saludable ocultar todos tus errores. O sea, no es que yo vaya por ahí hablando de mis defectos con todo el mundo, pero siempre intento reconocerlos cuando creo que me puede servir para mejorar. Te da un cierto sentimiento de libertad el hablar de esto y saber que muchos de nosotros hacemos las mismas cosas. Quizás, te sientas con lo que diré ahora o quizás pienses que soy demasiado floja, de cualquier forma, me siento bien con quien soy y con lo que sea que pienses.

- Mantener un horario -

¡Lo intento! de hecho, me encantan los horarios. Pero a veces mis emociones se me atraviesan en el camino y término en casa sin hacer nada. Realmente no puedo hacer tantas cosas al día como quisiera, además necesito tomarme descansos cortos entre una actividad y otra. No puedo empezar a estudiar italiano el minuto después de haber editado un video, aunque eso sea lo más práctico de hacer. Suelo procrastinar entre una actividad y otra. Es por eso que me inventé el “calentamiento de idiomas”, cada vez que tengo que estudiar y estoy de un lado a otro hago algo que me de los ánimos para aprender idiomas, así dejo de procrastinar. Intento no presionarme mucho con esto pero honestamente a veces es abrumador porque la verdad es que me gustaría ser mucho más productiva. Me encantaría estar concentrada por más tiempo, me encantaría saltar de una actividad a otra sin problemas, el multitasking es mi habilidad soñada. Pero eso todavía no es parte de mi y tengo que trabajar con los recursos que tengo. Se que tengo otras cualidades, solo debo conseguir mi propia manera de hacer las cosas.

- Problemas con el compromiso -

Este ha sido mi área de crecimiento este año. Para mi es dificil elegir una sola cosa y enfocarme solo en eso. Debo repetirme a mí misma constantemente que no puedo agregar otro idioma a mi rutina, a penas me queda tiempo para los idiomas que ya estoy aprendiendo. Tengo que buscar la manera de mantenerme de mantenerse motivada y comprometida en todas las áreas de mi vida y a veces es agotador pero sé que es algo que tengo hacer si quiero conseguir algo en la vida. Se que me cuesta hasta terminar un libro, pero me encanta un buen desafío. Así que compre un libro en holandés. Sé que si lo compraba iba a sentir la obligación de leerlo en lugar de si lo hubiera tomado de la biblioteca. Es un recordatorio de que tengo que terminar todo lo que empiezo. EL compromiso siempre ha sido mi mayor debilidad. Pero eso no quiere decir que me prohibo aprender idiomas que me llaman la atención, de hecho, suelo seguir los consejos que mi querida Chrissa compartió en el post anterior. Me doy la oportunidad de disfrutar nuevos idiomas sin profundizar mucho en ellos. Estoy aprendiendo a mejorar en este área y me doy todo el tiempo que necesito. Honestamente, si yo no soy paciente conmigo misma ¿Quién los será?

- Aprender Gramática -

Yo definitivamente tengo una relación amor/ odio con la gramática. La necesito porque me encanta hablar correctamente. Es super importante. Pero me aburro muchísimo con los libros de texto, necesito una manera más práctica de aprenderla. Quizás es porque hasta ahora solo he aprendido por inmersión o quizás sea el hecho de que a veces me cuesta concentrarme. Todavía tengo que a averiguar qué es lo que me pasa con la gramática. Tengo aprender más pero es que a veces no lo disfruto tanto. Esta es la razón por la cual casi nunca me has visto con libros de texto. Es más creo que intentare hacer mas sentence mining y revisar la teoría cuando tenga dudas. Me siento mucho mejor compartiendo esto con ustedes y obviamente voy a buscar mejorar en estos aspectos. Quizás la sorpresa que Chrissa y yo tenemos preparada para junio me ayude con esto. Pronto te contaremos más al respecto. De todas formas, por ahora simplemente concluyamos que todos tenemos áreas de mejora. ¿y tú? ¿Te sentiste identificado o solo piensas que soy floja? Mari

Meine schlimmesten Gewohnheiten beim Sprachenlernen

Der Sinn dieses Blogs ist ehrlich zu sein, denn so so sehr ich es liebe, all die guten Dinge zu teilen, empfinde ich es aber auch als wichtig all die Dinge zu teilen, in denen ich nicht die Beste bin. Es ist gut zu bemerken, was nicht so gut läuft wie du denkst, so dass du deine Gewohnheiten beim Sprachenlernen zu besseren ändern kannst. Persönlich, denke ich nicht, dass es gesund ist seine Fehler zu verstecken. Ich meine, ich laufe nicht umher und erzähle jedem von meinen Fehlern, aber ich erkenne sie wenn ich denke, dass ich einige von ihnen dadurch verbessern könnte. Es befreit einen über solche Dinge zu reden und zu wissen, dass wir nicht die Einzigen sind, die diese Dinge tun. Vielleicht kannst du dich damit identifizieren oder du wirst denken, dass ich wirklich faul bin. Für mich ist es OK, egal was du über mich denkst.

- Sich an einen Plan halten -

Ich versuche es! Eigentlich liebe ich Pläne, aber manchmal kommen mir meine Gefühle in den Weg und am Ende mache ich gar nichts. Ich erledige nie wirklich so viel wie ich gerne würde. Ich muss kurze Pausen zwischen einer Aktivität und einer anderen machen, ich kann nicht direkt vom Editieren eines Videos übergehen zum Italienisch lernen. Auch wenn es das Beste wäre es zu tun. Ich prokrastiniere oft zwischen einer Aktivität und der nächsten, deswegen habe ich mich selbst überzeugt, dass ich, bevor ich eine Sprache lerne, eine “Warm-up Session” machen sollte, die mich in den Sprachlern-Modus bringt. Ich versuche mich nicht zu sehr auf solche Dinge zu konzentrieren, aber um ehrlich zu sein, fühle ich mich die meiste Zeit überfordert, denn ich wäre gerne produktiver. Ich würde gerne länger fokussiert sein, ich würde gerne von einer Sache zur nächsten springen, Multitasking wäre meine Traumfähigkeit. Aber das bin nicht ich und ich muss mit dem arbeiten, was ich habe. Ich weiß, ich bin gut in anderen Sachen und ich muss meinen eigenen Weg finden Dinge zu tun.

- Ich weiß nicht wie ich dran bleiben soll -

Das war das Hauptgebiet, in dem ich dieses Jahr gewachsen bin. Es ist sehr schwer für mich, mich an eine Sache zu halten und wirklich dran zu bleiben. Ich muss mir dauernd sagen, dass ich nicht noch eine Sprache zu meiner Routine hinzufügen kann, ich habe kaum Zeit für die, die ich ja schon lerne. Ich muss Wege finden, um dran zu bleiben und auch motiviert zu bleiben, in allen Bereichen meines Lebens. Manchmal nimmt dies mir meine ganze Kraft, aber ich weiß, es ist etwas an das ich mich gewöhnen muss, wenn ich wirklich etwas im Leben erreichen möchte. Ich kann kein Buch beenden, aber ich liebe neue Herausforderungen, also habe ich mir ein Buch in Niederländisch gekauft. Denn ich weiß, wenn ich es gekauft habe, dann lese ich es eher als wenn es einfach nur aus der Bibliothek wäre. Ich habe es als Erinnerung daran, dass ich alles beenden sollte, was ich anfange. Verpflichtung war schon immer eins meiner Probleme. Ich halte mich nicht davon ab ein Verlangen nach andere Sprachen zu haben, eigentlich befolge ich viele der Tipps, die meine liebe Chrissa in ihrem letzten Beitrag geteilt hat. Ich gebe mir selbst die Möglichkeit neue Sprachen zu genießen, aber ich verpflichte mich so wenig wie möglich, denn das ist alles, das ich momentan bewältigen kann. Ich lerne besser in diesem Bereich zu sein, und ich gebe mir so viel Zeit wie ich brauche, um es zu lernen. Um ehrlich zu sein, wenn du nicht geduldig mit dir bist, wer soll es sonst sein?

- Grammatik lernen -

Ich habe eindeutig eine Beziehung aus Liebe und Hass mit Grammatik. Ich brauch sie, denn ich möchte gerne richtig sprechen können. Grammatik ist alles. Aber ich langweile mich mit Textbüchern, und ich brauche wirklich praktischere Wege, um es zu lernen. Vielleicht liegt es daran, dass ich bis jetzt Sprachen nur durch Immersion gelernt habe oder vielleicht ist es die Tatsache, dass ich mich sehr leicht ablenken lasse. Ich muss immer noch herausfinden, was es mit mir und der Grammatik auf sich hat. Ich will wirklich gerne mehr lernen, aber ich genieße es nicht so sehr. Das ist der Grund, wieso du mich selten über Textbücher reden sehen wirst. Ich denke, dass ich womöglich bei “Sentence Mining” bleiben werde und nur kurz eine Nachprüfung anstellen werde, wenn ich Zweifel habe. Ich fühle mich besser es mit der Welt zu teilen und ich werde definitiv daran arbeiten. Ich muss sagen, vielleicht ist die geheime Sache, die wir für Juni vorbereitet haben, eine Chance für mich besser darin zu werden. Bald wirst du wissen, worüber all dies ist. Auf jeden Fall, für diesem Moment, wirst du verstehen, dass wir alle Probleme haben. Hast du dich damit identifiziert oder denkst du ich bin faul? Mari

Challenge, challenge, challenge!

Work can sometimes be too overwhelming, especially when you want to do so many things, but you do not have the time for it. I've been already, I don't know for how long, trying to do more comic work, several projects started, learn to write better, several projects started, go back to analogue painting, there I do have some progress, but nothing that I can share yet.

El trabajo a veces puede ser demasiado abrumador, especialmente cuando quieres hacer tantas cosas pero no tienes el tiempo para ello. Llevo ya no se cuantos años intentando meterme mas en el mundo del comic, varios proyectos empezados, aprender a escribir mejor, varios proyectos empezados, regresar por completo a la pintura analógica, ahí si he hecho algunos avances, pero nada que pueda enseñar aun.

Thing is, I'm doing a small - not so small actually - challenge. The second this year, the first is this series of blog entries, to force me to write more and be more intentional with what I write. This second, is a drawing a day - or as close as possible - where I develop a mini-story along with the drawing in question. In writing, my biggest problem is the length that reaches everything and then the little focus in the text, when doing mini historias, I trying to fight against that. The unwritten rules (until now (?)) And that it is quite possible that I skip with some than other drawing, are to try to be "original" with the mini stories and use the cliches in my favor to give more strength to the 10 or 12 words accompanying the drawings. So far they have been only in ink, but I do not plan to do them all like this, nor is it planned to change in the near future. I am sharing them in all my social networks, but mainly I am interested in exploiting Instagram. 6 drawings per theme for now.

El caso, me plantee un pequeño -no tan pequeño en realidad- desafío. El segundo este año, el primero es esta serie de entradas de blogs, para obligarme a escribir mas y ser mas intencional con lo que escribo. Este segundo, es un dibujo al día -o lo mas cercano posible- donde desarrolle una mini-historia junto con el dibujo en cuestión. En mi escritura, mi mayor problema es el largo que alcanza todo y luego lo poco enfocado que está el texto, al hacer minihistorias, intento luchar un poco contra eso. Las reglas no escritas (hasta ahora (?)) y que es bastante posible que me salte con algún que otro dibujo, son las de intentar ser "original" con las mini historias y usar los cliches a mi favor para darle mas fuerza a las 10 o 12 palabras que escriba acompañando los dibujos. Hasta ahora han sido solo a tinta, pero no tengo planeado hacerlos todos así, ni planeado tampoco queda cambiar en un futuro cercano. Los estoy compartiendo en todas mis redes sociales, pero principalmente me interesa explotar Instagram. 6 dibujos por tema por ahora.

I will not put a name + month or whatever people do these days (?) Because I am not interested in people joining this ride, if you want to do it, I also have nothing against it, obviously, in fact I will leave A list with the topics that I will try to follow if it is so. If you want me to take a look, you can tag me or use # 6illustratedtales in your post. I'll check it out with pleasure.

No le pondré un nombre+mes o lo que sea que se ponga estos dias por moda (?) porque no me interesa que mas nadie se sume a la caminata, si quieres hacerlo, tampoco tengo nada en contra, obviamente, de hecho debajo dejaré una lista con los temas que intentaré seguir por si es así. Si quieres que le eche un ojo, puedes tagearme o usar #6illustratedtales en tu post. Lo haré con gusto.

The first one.

"Two dancers in the sky, ready to fight, ready to win."

With this one started to draw same subject, girl and dragon. And then, the story attached to it from here.

"I lived my life fully, had a family, saw my children grow old, some, die. But I was ready for my endless sleep. Now I pray every night for one more day..."

"All those centuries studying the true power... I finally met you, my destiny, my soul."

"Since I knew my destiny was to die saving my companion, I became bitter and full of hate toward their specie. But now that I finally found her, I know I can't escape from that fate... I'm glad for it."

"People from the village think she’s bad, call her dark witch for what hapenned with her parents. She doesn’t need them anymore. Her new family will take care of her, forever."

"Master commanded me that no one is allowed to enter this passage, no matter how strong it may be, no matter how weak. If it tries to pass, it will die. "

"She's not longer alone. Her friends from below come whenever she calls them."

"She always loved give them shape, jellyfishes were her favorites, small little souls floating around, full of the lives she just ended."

"You may have seen her lights before, right in the corner of your eye, but when you look there's nothing... So many people have sought her, the one who can cure any ill. "

"Billy never was an obedient hurricane, it'll go wherever he liked, but it was strong, the strongest she ever created, it will protect her from everyone outside"

And here you have the list with the themes. I'll try to update it as I go:

Demons

Horses

Orcs

Robotic wizards

Armored suits

Space shamans

sanctuaries

Birds of battle

Dungeon gladiators

Y aquí tienen la lista con los temas. Voy a tratar de actualizarla a medida que voy haciendo:

Demonios

Caballos

Orcos

Magos robóticos

Trajes blindados

Chamanes espaciales

Santuarios

Pájaros de batalla

Gladiadores de mazmorra

That's all for now. Which one is your favorite? What do you think of the challenge? Let me know what you think below in the comments! See you around!

Eso es todo por ahora. Cual es tu preferido? ¿Que te parece el desafío? déjame saber que piensas debajo en los comentarios! Nos leemos!

My Very Gay To Read List

Six of Crows (Six of Crows #1) by Leigh Bardugo

Criminal prodigy Kaz Brekker has been offered wealth beyond his wildest dreams. But to claim it, he'll have to pull off a seemingly impossible heist:

Break into the notorious Ice Court (a military stronghold that has never been breached)

Retrieve a hostage (who could unleash magical havoc on the world)

Survive long enough to collect his reward (and spend it)

Kaz needs a crew desperate enough to take on this suicide mission and dangerous enough to get the job done - and he knows exactly who: six of the deadliest outcasts the city has to offer. Together, they just might be unstoppable - if they don't kill each other first.

The Raven Boys (The Raven Cycle #1) by Maggie Stiefvater

It is freezing in the churchyard, even before the dead arrive.

Every year, Blue Sargent stands next to her clairvoyant mother as the soon-to-be dead walk past. Blue herself never sees them—not until this year, when a boy emerges from the dark and speaks directly to her.

His name is Gansey, and Blue soon discovers that he is a rich student at Aglionby, the local private school. Blue has a policy of staying away from Aglionby boys. Known as Raven Boys, they can only mean trouble.

But Blue is drawn to Gansey, in a way she can’t entirely explain. He has it all—family money, good looks, devoted friends—but he’s looking for much more than that. He is on a quest that has encompassed three other Raven Boys: Adam, the scholarship student who resents all the privilege around him; Ronan, the fierce soul who ranges from anger to despair; and Noah, the taciturn watcher of the four, who notices many things but says very little.

For as long as she can remember, Blue has been warned that she will cause her true love to die. She never thought this would be a problem. But now, as her life becomes caught up in the strange and sinister world of the Raven Boys, she’s not so sure anymore.

Loved this book so much: Know Not Why (Know Not Why) by Hannah Johnson

Howie gets a job at Artie Kraft's Arts 'N Crafts hoping to score with his lady coworkers. After all, girls love a sensitive guy, and what's more sensitive than dedicating your life to selling yarn and ... stuff? (Okay, so maybe it'd be a good idea to actually learn what one sells at an arts 'n crafts store.) But things don't go exactly according to plan. Coworker #1 is Cora: tiny, much-pierced, and way too fierce to screw with in any sense. Coworker #2 is Kristy: blonde, bubbly, unattainable perfection. And Coworker #3 is, well, Arthur. It goes without saying that he’s not an option. Right?

… Right?

Yeah, Howie’s life just got straight up confusing.

Pun intended.

How They Met, and Other Stories by David Levithan

Just in time for Valentine’s Day comes a confection from David Levithan that is sure to appeal to fans of Boy Meets Boy. Here are 18 stories, all about love, and about all kinds of love. From the aching for the one you pine for, to standing up and speaking up for the one you love, to pure joy and happiness, these love stories run the gamut of that emotion that at some point has turned every one of us inside out and upside down. What is love? With this original story collection David Levithan proves that love is a many splendored thing, a varied, complicated, addictive, wonderful thing.

Strong Signal by Megan Erickson

I was counting down the months until the end of my deployment. My days were spent working on military vehicles, and I spent my nights playing video games that would distract me until I could leave Staff Sergeant Garrett Reid behind.

That was when I met him: Kai Bannon, a fellow gamer with a famous stream channel.

I never expected to become fixated on someone who'd initially been a rival. And I'd never expected someone who oozed charm to notice me—a guy known for his brutal honesty and scowl. I hadn't planned for our online friendship to turn into something that kept me up at night—hours of chatting evolving into filthy webcam sessions.

But it did. And now I can't stop thinking about him. In my mind, our real life meeting is perfect. We kiss, we fall into bed, and it's love at first sight.

Except, like most things in my life, it doesn't go as planned.

Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda by Becky Albertalli

Sixteen-year-old and not-so-openly gay Simon Spier prefers to save his drama for the school musical. But when an email falls into the wrong hands, his secret is at risk of being thrust into the spotlight. Now Simon is actually being blackmailed: if he doesn’t play wingman for class clown Martin, his sexual identity will become everyone’s business. Worse, the privacy of Blue, the pen name of the boy he’s been emailing, will be compromised.

With some messy dynamics emerging in his once tight-knit group of friends, and his email correspondence with Blue growing more flirtatious every day, Simon’s junior year has suddenly gotten all kinds of complicated. Now, change-averse Simon has to find a way to step out of his comfort zone before he’s pushed out—without alienating his friends, compromising himself, or fumbling a shot at happiness with the most confusing, adorable guy he’s never met.

Two Boys Kissing by David Levithan

New York Times bestselling author David Levithan tells the based-on-true-events story of Harry and Craig, two 17-year-olds who are about to take part in a 32-hour marathon of kissing to set a new Guinness World Record—all of which is narrated by a Greek Chorus of the generation of gay men lost to AIDS.

While the two increasingly dehydrated and sleep-deprived boys are locking lips, they become a focal point in the lives of other teen boys dealing with languishing long-term relationships, coming out, navigating gender identity, and falling deeper into the digital rabbit hole of gay hookup sites—all while the kissing former couple tries to figure out their own feelings for each other.

Boy Meets Boy by David Levithan

This is the story of Paul, a sophomore at a high school like no other: The cheerleaders ride Harleys, the homecoming queen used to be a guy named Daryl (she now prefers Infinite Darlene and is also the star quarterback), and the gay-straight alliance was formed to help the straight kids learn how to dance.

When Paul meets Noah, he thinks he’s found the one his heart is made for. Until he blows it. The school bookie says the odds are 12-to-1 against him getting Noah back, but Paul’s not giving up without playing his love really loud. His best friend Joni might be drifting away, his other best friend Tony might be dealing with ultra-religious parents, and his ex-boyfriend Kyle might not be going away anytime soon, but sometimes everything needs to fall apart before it can really fit together right.

Liked this book: Peter Darling by Austin Chant

Ten years ago, Peter Pan left Neverland to grow up, leaving behind his adolescent dreams of boyhood and resigning himself to life as Wendy Darling. Growing up, however, has only made him realize how inescapable his identity as a man is.

But when he returns to Neverland, everything has changed: the Lost Boys have become men, and the war games they once played are now real and deadly. Even more shocking is the attraction Peter never knew he could feel for his old rival, Captain Hook—and the realization that he no longer knows which of them is the real villain.

Lucas e Nicolas by Gabriel Spits

Lucas é um adolescente como qualquer outro: seu corpo cheio de hormônios o enche de desejos e sua cabeça de dúvidas. Na escola, Lucas é considerado um ‘loser’: tímido, péssimo nos esportes e muito inteligente, alvo constante de chacota dos alunos mais ‘populares’ e completamente inábil na arte da conquista amorosa. Mas, no caso de Lucas, algo mais o deixa vulnerável ao assédio dos colegas: ele é gay. E isso faz toda a diferença, principalmente em um ambiente conservador como na pequena cidade do interior paulista onde vive.

A tanto sofrimento, soma-se uma novidade: recém-chegado da capital São Paulo, Nicolas é tudo o que ele não é: bonito, forte e popular. E é, talvez, justamente por isso, ou por algum outro motivo que ele não consegue identificar, que Lucas se apaixona pelo seu oposto – ou pelo seu complemento? Como lidar com isso? Pode-se considerar “Lucas e Nicolas”, lançamento do Fábrica231, um livro necessário. Com habilidade, o autor traça um perfil honesto de Lucas, um menino desprotegido e solitário em suas dúvidas e questionamentos acerca de sua orientação sexual. Sem interlocutores que possam ouvi-lo e orientá-lo, resta-lhe o sentimento de vergonha, deslocamento e medo. Afinal, o mundo parece não perdoar quem é diferente. Por conta disso, sofre toda sorte de agressões, verbais e físicas, numa homofobia que é negada conscientemente por seus perpetradores, mas muito presente na vida diária.

Na impossibilidade de poder expressar seu afeto, Lucas corre para o abrigo da internet, onde faz um amigo, Matheus, gay assumido, mas que nunca viu ao vivo. Matheus é seu confidente e representa aquele jovem homossexual que tem orgulho de ser quem é. Assume seu caráter único e vive com intensidade toda uma cultura gay que se reflete em músicas, filmes e num linguajar muito peculiar. Ao desabafar sobre Nicolas, ele descobre com Matheus uma informação crucial sobre seu objeto de desejo. Nicolas é o típico aluno popular, forte, bonito e atlético. Mas, por trás de tanta fortaleza, esconde-se uma personalidade frágil, um menino com uma família desajustada, que o obriga a amadurecer cedo. Ele vem da capital para o interior, mas tem dificuldade de se adaptar. Sente saudades dos amigos de São Paulo, e de um em especial. Péssimo nos estudos, ele é obrigado a ter aulas particulares com o CDF do colégio: Lucas. E agora?

How to Repair a Mechanical Heart by J.C. Lillis

Eighteen-year-old Castaway Planet fans Brandon and Abel hate bad fan fiction—especially when it pairs their number-one TV crushes of all time, dashing space captain Cadmus and dapper android Sim. As co-runners of the Internet’s third most popular Castaway Planet vlog, they love to spar with the “Cadsim” fangirls who think Cadmus will melt Sim’s mechanical heart by the Season 5 finale. This summer, Brandon and Abel have a mission: hit the road in an RV to follow the traveling Castaway Planet convention, interview the actors and showrunner, and uncover proof that a legit Cadsim romance will NEVER, EVER HAPPEN.

A Brandon and Abel romance: also not happening. Brandon’s sick of his struggle to make “gay and Catholic” compute, so it’s safer to love a TV android. Plus Abel’s got a hot new boyfriend with a phoenix tattoo, and how can Brandon compete with that? But when mysterious messages about them start popping up in the fan community, they make a shocking discovery that slowly forces their real feelings to the surface. Before they get to the last Castaway Planet convention, Brandon’s going to find out the truth: can a mechanical heart be reprogrammed, or will his first shot at love be a full system failure?

The Dark Wife by Sarah Diemer

Three thousand years ago, a god told a lie. Now, only a goddess can tell the truth. Persephone has everything a daughter of Zeus could want--except for freedom. She lives on the green earth with her mother, Demeter, growing up beneath the ever-watchful eyes of the gods and goddesses on Mount Olympus. But when Persephone meets the enigmatic Hades, she experiences something new: choice. Zeus calls Hades "lord" of the dead as a joke. In truth, Hades is the goddess of the underworld, and no friend of Zeus. She offers Persephone sanctuary in her land of the dead, so the young goddess may escape her Olympian destiny. But Persephone finds more than freedom in the underworld. She finds love, and herself.

Keeping You a Secret by Julie Anne Peters

With a steady boyfriend, the position of Student Council President, and a chance to go to an Ivy League college, high school life is just fine for Holland Jaeger. At least it seems to be. But when Cece Goddard comes to school, everything changes. Cece and Holland have undeniable feelings for each other, but how will others react to their developing relationship? This moving love story between two girls is a worthy successor to Nancy Garden's classic young adult coming out novel, Annie on My Mind. With her characteristic humor and breezy style, Peters has captured the compelling emotions of young love.

Annie on My Mind by Nancy Garden

This groundbreaking book is the story of two teenage girls whose friendship blossoms into love and who, despite pressures from family and school that threaten their relationship, promise to be true to each other and their feelings. This book is so truthful and honest, it has been banned from many school libraries and even publicly burned in Kansas City.

Everything Leads to You by Nina LaCour

Emi is a film buff and a true romantic, but her real-life relationships are a mess. She has desperately gone back to the same girl too many times to mention. But then a mysterious letter from a silver screen legend leads Emi to Ava. Ava is unlike anyone Emi has ever met. She has a tumultuous, not-so-glamorous past, and lives an unconventional life. She’s enigmatic…. She’s beautiful. And she is about to expand Emi’s understanding of family, acceptance, and true romance.

Him (Him #1) by Sarina Bowen

Jamie Canning has never been able to figure out how he lost his closest friend. Four years ago, his tattooed, wise-cracking, rule-breaking roommate cut him off without an explanation. So what if things got a little weird on the last night of hockey camp the summer they were eighteen? It was just a little drunken foolishness. Nobody died.

Ryan Wesley’s biggest regret is coaxing his very straight friend into a bet that pushed the boundaries of their relationship. Now, with their college teams set to face off at the national championship, he’ll finally get a chance to apologize. But all it takes is one look at his longtime crush, and the ache is stronger than ever.

Jamie has waited a long time for answers, but walks away with only more questions—can one night of sex ruin a friendship? If not, how about six more weeks of it? When Wesley turns up to coach alongside Jamie for one more hot summer at camp, Jamie has a few things to discover about his old friend... and a big one to learn about himself.

Truth in the Dark by Amy Lane

"I am not beautiful..."

Knife's entire existence has been as twisted as his flesh and his face. The only thing beautiful in his life is his sister. When Gwennie is obliged to turn a suitor down because she fears to leave her brother to the brutality of their village, Knife is desperate for anything to ensure her happiness.

Her suitor's cousin offers him a way out, but it won't be easy. Aerie-Smith has been cursed to walk upright in the form of a beast, and his beloved village suffers from the same spell. Aerie-Smith offers Gwen a trousseau and some hope, if only Knife will keep him company on his island for the span of a year and perform one "regrettable task" at year's end.

Knife is unprepared for the form the island's curse takes on his own misshapen body. In one moment of magic, he is given the body of his dreams—and he discovers that where flesh meets spirit and appearance meet reality, sometimes the only place to find truth is in the darkness of a lover's arms.

Luck in the Shadows (Nightrunner #1) by Lynn Flewelling

When young Alec of Kerry is taken prisoner for a crime he didn’t commit, he is certain that his life is at an end. But one thing he never expected was his cellmate. Spy, rogue, thief, and noble, Seregil of Rhiminee is many things–none of them predictable. And when he offers to take on Alec as his apprentice, things may never be the same for either of them. Soon Alec is traveling roads he never knew existed, toward a war he never suspected was brewing. Before long he and Seregil are embroiled in a sinister plot that runs deeper than either can imagine, and that may cost them far more than their lives if they fail. But fortune is as unpredictable as Alec’s new mentor, and this time there just might be…Luck in the Shadows.

I'll Give You the Sun by Jandy Nelson

Jude and her twin brother, Noah, are incredibly close. At thirteen, isolated Noah draws constantly and is falling in love with the charismatic boy next door, while daredevil Jude cliff-dives and wears red-red lipstick and does the talking for both of them. But three years later, Jude and Noah are barely speaking. Something has happened to wreck the twins in different and dramatic ways . . until Jude meets a cocky, broken, beautiful boy, as well as someone else—an even more unpredictable new force in her life. The early years are Noah's story to tell. The later years are Jude's. What the twins don't realize is that they each have only half the story, and if they could just find their way back to one another, they’d have a chance to remake their world.

Lies We Tell Ourselves by Robin Talley

In 1959 Virginia, the lives of two girls on opposite sides of the battle for civil rights will be changed forever.

Sarah Dunbar is one of the first black students to attend the previously all-white Jefferson High School. An honors student at her old school, she is put into remedial classes, spit on and tormented daily.

Linda Hairston is the daughter of one of the town's most vocal opponents of school integration. She has been taught all her life that the races should be kept separate but equal.

Forced to work together on a school project, Sarah and Linda must confront harsh truths about race, power and how they really feel about one another.

The Diviners (The Diviners #1) by Libba Bray

Evie O’Neill has been exiled from her boring old hometown and shipped off to the bustling streets of New York City—and she is pos-i-tute-ly ecstatic. It’s 1926, and New York is filled with speakeasies, Ziegfeld girls, and rakish pickpockets. The only catch is that she has to live with her uncle Will and his unhealthy obsession with the occult.

Evie worries he’ll discover her darkest secret: a supernatural power that has only brought her trouble so far. But when the police find a murdered girl branded with a cryptic symbol and Will is called to the scene, Evie realizes her gift could help catch a serial killer.

As Evie jumps headlong into a dance with a murderer, other stories unfold in the city that never sleeps. A young man named Memphis is caught between two worlds. A chorus girl named Theta is running from her past. A student named Jericho hides a shocking secret. And unknown to all, something dark and evil has awakened.

The Magicians (The Magicians, #1) by Lev Grossman

Like everyone else, precocious high school senior Quentin Coldwater assumes that magic isn't real, until he finds himself admitted to a very secretive and exclusive college of magic in upstate New York. There he indulges in joys of college-friendship, love, sex, and booze- and receives a rigorous education in modern sorcery. But magic doesn't bring the happiness and adventure Quentin thought it would. After graduation, he and his friends stumble upon a secret that sets them on a remarkable journey that may just fulfill Quentin's yearning. But their journey turns out to be darker and more dangerous than they'd imagined.

The Darkest Part of the Forest by Holly Black

Children can have a cruel, absolute sense of justice. Children can kill a monster and feel quite proud of themselves. A girl can look at her brother and believe they’re destined to be a knight and a bard who battle evil. She can believe she’s found the thing she’s been made for.

Hazel lives with her brother, Ben, in the strange town of Fairfold where humans and fae exist side by side. The faeries’ seemingly harmless magic attracts tourists, but Hazel knows how dangerous they can be, and she knows how to stop them. Or she did, once.

At the center of it all, there is a glass coffin in the woods. It rests right on the ground and in it sleeps a boy with horns on his head and ears as pointed as knives. Hazel and Ben were both in love with him as children. The boy has slept there for generations, never waking.

Until one day, he does…

As the world turns upside down, Hazel tries to remember her years pretending to be a knight. But swept up in new love, shifting loyalties, and the fresh sting of betrayal, will it be enough?

Deathless (Leningrad Diptych #1) by Catherynne M. Valente

Koschei the Deathless is to Russian folklore what devils or wicked witches are to European culture: a menacing, evil figure; the villain of countless stories which have been passed on through story and text for generations. But Koschei has never before been seen through the eyes of Catherynne Valente, whose modernized and transformed take on the legend brings the action to modern times, spanning many of the great developments of Russian history in the twentieth century. Deathless, however, is no dry, historical tome: it lights up like fire as the young Marya Morevna transforms from a clever child of the revolution, to Koschei’s beautiful bride, to his eventual undoing. Along the way there are Stalinist house elves, magical quests, secrecy and bureaucracy, and games of lust and power. All told, Deathless is a collision of magical history and actual history, of revolution and mythology, of love and death, which will bring Russian myth back to life in a stunning new incarnation.

Dash & Lily's Book of Dares by Rachel Cohn, David Levithan

So begins the latest whirlwind romance from the bestselling authors of Nick & Norah’s Infinite Playlist. Lily has left a red notebook full of challenges on a favorite bookstore shelf, waiting for just the right guy to come along and accept its dares. But is Dash that right guy? Or are Dash and Lily only destined to trade dares, dreams, and desires in the notebook they pass back and forth at locations across New York? Could their in-person selves possibly connect as well as their notebook versions? Or will they be a comic mismatch of disastrous proportions?

Rachel Cohn and David Levithan have written a love story that will have readers perusing bookstore shelves, looking and longing for a love (and a red notebook) of their own.

Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist by Rachel Cohn, David Levithan

It all starts when Nick asks Norah to be his girlfriend for five minutes. He only needs five minutes to avoid his ex-girlfriend, whoâ€™s just walked in to his bandâ€™s show. With a new guy. And then, with one kiss, Nick and Norah are off on an adventure set against the backdrop of New York Cityâ€”and smack in the middle of all the joy, anxiety, confusion, and excitement of a first date.

Every Day (Every Day #1) by David Levithan

Every day a different body. Every day a different life. Every day in love with the same girl. There’s never any warning about where it will be or who it will be. A has made peace with that, even established guidelines by which to live: Never get too attached. Avoid being noticed. Do not interfere.

It’s all fine until the morning that A wakes up in the body of Justin and meets Justin’s girlfriend, Rhiannon. From that moment, the rules by which A has been living no longer apply. Because finally A has found someone he wants to be with—day in, day out, day after day.

When Dimple Met Rishi by Sandhya Menon

A laugh-out-loud, heartfelt YA romantic comedy, told in alternating perspectives, about two Indian-American teens whose parents have arranged for them to be married.

Dimple Shah has it all figured out. With graduation behind her, she’s more than ready for a break from her family, from Mamma’s inexplicable obsession with her finding the “Ideal Indian Husband.” Ugh. Dimple knows they must respect her principles on some level, though. If they truly believed she needed a husband right now, they wouldn’t have paid for her to attend a summer program for aspiring web developers…right?

Rishi Patel is a hopeless romantic. So when his parents tell him that his future wife will be attending the same summer program as him—wherein he’ll have to woo her—he’s totally on board. Because as silly as it sounds to most people in his life, Rishi wants to be arranged, believes in the power of tradition, stability, and being a part of something much bigger than himself.

The Shahs and Patels didn’t mean to start turning the wheels on this “suggested arrangement” so early in their children’s lives, but when they noticed them both gravitate toward the same summer program, they figured, Why not?

Dimple and Rishi may think they have each other figured out. But when opposites clash, love works hard to prove itself in the most unexpected ways.

A Darker Shade of Magic (Shades of Magic #1) by V.E. Schwab

Kell is one of the last travelers--magicians with a rare, coveted ability to travel between parallel universes connected by one magical city.

There's Grey London, dirty and boring, without any magic, and with one mad King--George III. Red London, where life and magic are revered--and where Kell was raised alongside Rhy Maresh, the roguish heir to a flourishing empire. White London--a place where people fight to control magic and the magic fights back, draining the city to its very bones. And once upon a time, there was Black London. But no one speaks of that now.

Officially, Kell is the Red traveler, ambassador of the Maresh empire, carrying the monthly correspondences between the royals of each London. Unofficially, Kell is a smuggler, servicing people willing to pay for even the smallest glimpses of a world they'll never see. It's a defiant hobby with dangerous consequences, which Kell is now seeing firsthand.

Fleeing into Grey London, Kell runs into Delilah Bard, a cut-purse with lofty aspirations. She robs him, saves him from a deadly enemy, and finally forces Kell to spirit her to another world for a proper adventure.

Now perilous magic is afoot, and treachery lurks at every turn. To save all of the worlds, they'll first need to stay alive.

The Best Chicago Rooftops (That Are Open Right Now) added to Google Docs

The Best Chicago Rooftops (That Are Open Right Now)

As long as you pick the right one, being on a rooftop in Chicago is great. You get a view of the city, plus a breeze that will save you from the unrelenting summertime humidity (which we all know is just the pent-up energy from frustrated snow). But a rooftop with bad drinks or a boring view is about as much fun as sitting in a plane on the tarmac - and you definitely don’t have time for that this year. Here are the 13 best rooftops in Chicago, for all sorts of socially-distanced occasions.

Sorry—looks like you screwed up that email address

Want to quickly find restaurants on the go? Download The Infatuation app. The Rooftops Anjali Pinto (taken before shutdown) The Laurel Room $$$$ 640 N LaSalle Dr

This is the low-key rooftop restaurant on top of Pacific Standard Time in River North. The Laurel Room is from the same team, which means you’ll find the same California-inspired seasonal menu. As a bonus, since the rooftop is covered, you can sit outside even when it’s raining.

Kennedy Rooftop $$$$ 1551 W North Ave

The Kennedy is on top of the Hyatt in Wicker Park, and since you’re not literally in the skyline, you have a nice view of downtown Chicago. It also has a long menu full of cocktails and bar food, and plenty of tables and couches spaced far apart for social distancing.

Joy District $$$$ 112 W Hubbard St

You might know Joy District as the loud bar on top of Parlay in River North, because it is. But now this rooftop bar serves food and has couches and high tops so you can hang out for a while.

Utopian Tailgate $$$$ 1608 North Wells

Utopian Tailgate opened late last year in Old Town, and we hardly had any time with it before both Chicago winter and the shutdown started stealing our joy. This bar reminds us a lot of a rooftop version of Paradise Park - meaning astroturf, lots of colorful patio furniture, and things like swing sets. Their food and drink menu is tailgate themed, so you can find things like nachos, pizza, and skewers.

The Rooftop At Nobu Hotel $$$$ 155 N. Peoria Street

After a lot of delays (this project started in 2015), Nobu has finally opened in the West Loop. This rooftop bar is 11 stories up on top of the hotel, and along with a long list of sake and cocktails, they also serve Japanese small plates and sushi.

Cerise $ $ $ $ Loop $$$$ 203 N. Wabash Ave.

Cerise is the bar on the 26th floor of the Virgin Hotel in the Loop, and it’s exactly what you’re looking for in a sceney downtown rooftop: great drinks, a short menu of just-fine snacks (like bacon-wrapped dates and hummus with flatbread), and fantastic views of the city.

Sandy Noto (taken before shutdown) Lonesome Rose $ $ $ $ Tacos , Mexican , Tex-Mex in Logan Square $$$$ 2101 N. California Ave

It’s not a high-rise, but this place is great for when you’re afraid of heights or don’t want your sexy windblown look to be too realistic. Lonesome Rose, a Tex-Mex restaurant in Logan Square, has a rooftop patio that’s only one story up, so you get a nice breeze, a solution for your Vitamin D deficiency, and the chance to eat some tasty fish tacos and queso outside. Make sure to order more tortilla chips - they’re very good and you’ll want extra.

Sandy Noto (taken before shutdown) Vu Rooftop Bar $ $ $ $ American , Bar Food in South Loop $$$$ 133 E Cermak Rd

Vu is a rooftop bar on the 22nd floor of a building near the McCormick Center. And since it has both firepits and retractable windows, it’s good for the occasional 53-degree Chicago summer day. There’s a long menu of small plates, with dishes like mushroom tostadas, chorizo and shrimp toast, and steak tartare. It’s all fine, but our favorite activity here is to drink and be glad we’re not going to the Morningstar Investment Conference this year.

Reggies $ $ $ $ Bar Food in South Loop $$$$ 2105 S State St

Take your average Chicago block party and plop it on a rooftop deck, and you have Reggies in the South Loop. This casual bar and music venue (yes, they’re still hosting shows) has cold beer, burgers and wings. And unlike your neighborhood block party, the rooftop has very little probability of screaming children. What it lacks in view (overlooking a deserted section of State Street and Cermak) it makes up for in a relaxed and fun atmosphere.

Sandy Noto (taken before shutdown) Z Bar $ $ $ $ Bar Food in Magnificent Mile , River North $$$$ 108 E Superior St

This is a fancy spot at the top of The Peninsula, a luxury hotel near Michigan Ave. Because of its location, it has a great view of the Magnificent Mile, which makes it an ideal place to take out-of-towners. You’ll find small plates like foie gras-filled bon bons and marrow “poppers” (which are basically tater tots filled with bone marrow). Come here and eat some expensive bar food with anyone you’re trying to impress - like visiting colleagues, or your soon-to-be sister-in-law who kind of hates the city.

Sandy Noto Tanta $ $ $ $ Seafood , Peruvian in River North $$$$ 118 W Grand Ave

Tanta is always a great restaurant, but it’s best in the summer when you can hang out at the rooftop bar. Not only can you eat tasty Peruvian food like cebiches and skewers, but you can also avoid the typical outdoor dining situation in River North - i.e. sitting on a sidewalk while trying to igore the garbage trucks going by. This place is perfect for a weekend date, or even a nicer dinner during the week.

Christina Slaton Bernie's $ $ $ $ American , Mediterranean in River North $$$$ 660 N Orleans St

We really appreciate hanging out on the relaxed rooftop at Bernie’s Lunch & Supper. The tables here are far enough apart to make it feel extra spacious, and they just expanded their awning. They also still take reservations even when it rains, and more importantly, your hair won’t get wet. Also important? They have one of our favorite burgers in Chicago.

Pearl's Southern Comfort $ $ $ $ Southern , Cajun in Edgewater $$$$ 5352 N Broadway St

Pearl’s has another one of the best low-key rooftops in the city. It’s hiding up in Edgewater, so it doesn’t get nearly as busy as the ones downtown. And while it’s not actually too many stories off the ground, the roof still has a fantastic view. The food here is (as you may have guessed from the name) Southern, so you’ll find things like po’boys and jambalaya, plus some very good barbecue. All of those things go well with a Hurricane - which is exactly the kind of cocktail you should be drinking.
