#Mexican rep
Text
Since the Hellsing fandom is more active on here, and I love to see other people's OCs.. (all of you are creative with your OCs, which is *chef's kiss*)
I'd love to introduce my own OC!
︶꒦︶꒷︶︶꒷꒦︶︶︶꒷꒦‧ ₊˚・
Basic info:
Her name is Carmen Marquez. She was born on August 5th in Oaxaca, Mexico. Her name is Herbew and Latin origin, and it means "song, truthful, and poetry." As for her surname, it means "son of Marcos or Marcus."
She is 23 years old. Carmen is the oldest out of her family. (May or may not have the burden of being the "perfect golden child")
She works for Iscariot, and her main (and only) friends are Heinkel and Yumiko.
Carmen has no opinion on Enrico. She doesn't necessarily like him but doesn't hate him, either.
As for her opinion on Anderson, she views him as a second father figure in her life.
She is 5'6", thus making her a centimeter taller than some people. For some reason, she gets a bit insecure of her height sometimes. Carmen either feels she's too tall or too short to others.
She speaks Spanish and English fluently.
Her zodiac sign is Leo. (It's not really important, but I decided to add this in there if anyone's curious)
Carmen is pansexual. She doesn't care what anyone looks. If they're hot, then she finds that person hot. Expect, she won't ever admit that.
Weapons & Powers:
She has two main weapons. One is a rapier and a silver ring with an aquamarine crystal that can turn into a whip.
When her ring turns into its whip form, light blue colored lighting emits from it.
She wears her ring on her right index finger.
Ángel's Suerte (rapier) was given to her by the Iscariots, and Heavenly Twist (ring/whip) is her family's heirloom that is passed down from generation to generation; Carmen was gifted this ring by her father.
Both weapons are required for Carmen to tap into her spiritual prowess. She can create magical glyphs for Ángel's Suerte. As for Heavenly Twist, she will use it if under grim circumstances or if there are few enemies in her path.
Heavenly Twist is used to strike enemies with powerful lashes, depending on how poweful Carmen wants these attacks to be. The enemies are rendered immobile as the electricity will spread out throughout said enemies.
Appearance:
Carmen has long, wavy dark brown hair, which she keeps it in a braid.
Her eye color is amethyst (or purple, whichever term you prefer to use!)
She has small yet noticeable freckles everywhere on her body. They're more on her face, collarbone, and shoulders.
Carmen does wear the standard Catholic nun uniform like Yumiko. Only if she's sent to missions. Otherwise, she prefers to be in her regular attire. This consists of anything beige (her favorite color), usually dresses, skirts, and tops. Her clothing is inspired by her culture in a more modern style.
She likes to wear earrings. Especially her golden cross earrings! Anything with crosses or pearls will catch her attention.
Personality:
Carmen is a considerate and generous woman. She cares about the people around her, being rather sympathetic. Whenever she had free time, she would play with the children at the orphanage or write and send letters to her family. Though, she does have her flaws. If someone confronts her about something, Carmen is harsh, a *bit* short-tempered, and passive-aggressive. She's fiercely protective when it comes to her family or anyone with whom she has a close bond. Upon meeting strangers, she tends to be polite and quiet. She will only speak when she's spoken to.
︶꒦︶꒷︶︶꒷꒦︶︶︶꒷꒦‧ ₊˚・
I would add her backstory here, but I'm holding that back unless anyone asks. Then I'll make a separate post about it!
Feel free to ask questions about her! I love to take every opportunity to gush about Carmen because I only gush about her to one of my friends ahsh
Here's a drawing of Carmen I did two days ago!
(The quality looks terrible, in my opinion, but let's overlook that. When it comes to designing my OCs, I tend to play around with Picrew and try out different makers to see which one would fit my OCs the best.)
That's what I did with Carmen! I thought this picrew maker worked perfectly with her.
The Picrew I used is called The Lady Of Hera by K_pupu!
In conclusion, feel free to ask questions about her! Also, I welcome art of her 🫶🏽

Prize Money by Celeste Castro
Eva is saved from impending disaster by a tall, dark, and handsome bullfighter—a woman. Toma Rozene is an equestrian stuntwoman fresh off the set of a blockbuster film when a family emergency calls her home to help run the family business: rescuing fallen rodeo riders before blustering bulls and bucking broncos trample their dreams.
Eva and Toma's shared passions and competitive spirits make friendship easy, but, as their feelings deepen, they must decide if the divergent futures they seek will stand in the way of love.

Man, Karmaland was such a wild thing to experience live, but nothing will be funnier than me opening Vegetta's POV for the first time still under the impression he was a family-friendly streamer for some reason (spoiler alert: he's not) and being greeted with him and Rubius banging in a hot tub.
#i talk#karmaland talk#that was WILD#I remember watching like ''? what's going o- OH OK THAT'S WHATS GOING ON''#Karmaland was something else#it was so cool seeing so much queer rep especially as a Mexican girl who's seen a lot of the machismo bs#...and after all the bs I endured from D.S.M.P too ofc#that was really cool#I was like ''!!!! oh they're GAY gay''#and then finding out so many of them were bi IRL I was like *tears streaming down my face* OH THEY'RE ACTUALLY GAY#furiously shaking Rubius' hand. Bi solidarity

It was just an unfortunate scenario. 0.05 [mm] failure on the rear skid, it's not going to make the difference between winning and losing. So that error wasn't the reason that we were as fast as were. So that's why it's just been painful for us. Because, you know, if we had changed our rear springs, for example, perhaps we would have had better ride.
But anyways, we're hopeful that the performance will continue this weekend. And yeah, just making sure that guys don't overreact. I think we'll be fine. - LH

"people write jaykyle smut because they're fetishizing kyle being mexican ( and they never use the popular latino jason for the ship )" half the time dc doesn't even remember he's mexican. it was a retcon on top of that. you know what kyle is? hes fucking irish-mexican. but does anyone remember that? no!!! shut up. get out of my tags. i don't want to hear another word from you.
#oh my god shut the fuck up and put away your spam tags#i need to sit down and redo my cobbled together backstory AGAIN#and every time you guys ( not mutuals ) go 'waa kyle needs more mexican rep in his stories#i am more and more tempted to project further on his ass <- hispanic woman who has nearly zero ties to her mother's culture#i have a ring it's just not green | ooc#tbd

I’ve been learning Brazilian Portuguese for like 3 weeks now, bc I was bored as hell during winter break so I was like “yknow what, lets learn a new language”
It actually came in handy to know English and Spanish, bc it kinda made it easier to understand for me.
I also just like learning about different cultures in general, and it’s nicer to understand some of the language. I also just felt bad bc Brazil is almost always left out of Latin American media 😭 and just South American media in general is always forgotten. As a latino I want everyone to get equal attention bc the cultures are so unique
#language learning#I can read it better now#Still working on writing and grammar#I love you guys 🫶🏼🇧🇷#Brazil#Even though I’m Mexican I wish all Latin American rep wasnt just Mexico and Central America#This is also because one of my ocs are Brazilian and I wanna learn more about the culture so I can make little references to it

Wait, is that....
OH MY GOD IT IIIIISSSS.
*my ass starts vibrating at high speeds with the incredibly niche swedish-immigrants-to-the-southwest lineage*
*Seriously there were whole ass towns founded on scandenavian immigrants in the south and midwest and this is never acknowledged or talked about oh my god my dairy farming great-grandparents are finally acknowledged*
#Seriously nearly half my family is in texas- the liberal parts btw#I have mexican-swedish-american nieces and nephews so like this rep warms my heart?? the kinda cross cultural niche idk#Anyway my great grandpa was known during the worst of the great depression when he couldn't pay his dairy farm workers enough money and kee#farm running- he instead made sure they went home with that much money's worth of milk so they could feed their families#and milk in store was through the roof in price#So a lot of the men stayed with him because they knew they could feed their families and he would do his best to make sure no one went hung#Yes I am freaking out over 1 singular piece of cultural acknolwdgement shhhh

YIPPEE MORTIS ANGST!!! :D
HELLO you want to see my poor son suffering,, Enduring the worst times of his life,, Dealing with everything he was put through on his own cuz he had literally NOBODY to go to
Because if so...
So do I lol
#Grim answers#Y'all I got so much Mortis lore I'm stuck between wanting to do things in order or just exploring random snippets of his life#I prolly won't touch on his childhood because like he had shitty parents and the idea of drawing that kinda stuff saddens me :(#(Also I don't have a kid Mortis design lol)#How would y'all feel about me just dropped Mortis lore occasionally in the form of text posts pff#I kinda need to update y'all anyway because I recently revamped his story#But there's one thing I can't decide on and it's whether he grew up in Italy or in Mexico#Ye he's Italian and Mexican (Italian mother Mexican father)#I was stuck on the country because I myself am Italian so I understand the culture better and I even went to Italy when I was younger#But Mexico is closer to America which would justify why his family moved there better I think#I lowkey wanted to base his family's experience on my own grandfather since he was an Italian immigrant (except he moved to Australia)#But I also want to try and write a character that has a stronger connection to a cultural background I don't quite understand so I can-#learn more about it#Y'know I feel like us Italians get enough rep anyways pff#Even then Mortis is still Italian AND Mexican#But ofc depending on whether he grew up in Italy or Mexico would influence which culture he was closer to since it would be the one-#surrounding him and his family#Like how I grew up in Australia#My family still held the Italian 'values' but I wasn't quite as knowledgeable on the culture#Not until I grew up and learned about it myself and from my dad at least#So ye still deciding

What do you consider to be mexican middle class culture and why do you hate it so much?
mmmm i had a longer response months ago and it deleted so i got unmotivated to answers this but i think i simplified it: its actually negative culture, basically nothing except the directive of success which must be dictated by the images created by the west's white supremacy image of economic success, so mexican homes look like european tv homes or us tv homes, and the propaganda from the us in particular gets translated simply for us and so the images there like coca cola's or cleaning products, or beauty items and men's health carries usually images of family or the self and so people wanna be that, which means that the only times these mexicans connect to the culture is with popular celebrations, or the food of which they usually have no indepth knowledge of origins, importance or even proper ingredients to prepare either, there's a disconnect entirely with the self and the very definitions of community and culture and all of these things are unspoken, you're expected to acquiesce silently, to conform, to not confront, which creates very tense and often abusive relationships for not complying to that image and daring to challenge its capitalist and white supremacist roots because the thing is that is not new and it happened right after spain was expelled, very few criollos ever truly examined the cruelty and power of their own families in favor of simply gaining control of ignorant populations idk sth like this
#i had sources and shit but ugh whatever just go to twitter and the whitexicans stories and tags and you'll see#you'll see how empty mexicans that make up the visibility of media and rep and even access to technology are#towns with poverty maintain culture due to the isolation provoked by shitty private transport systems#and gvt losing control to foreign industries often unregulated snd able to abuse the resources of a region#is a whole disaster of parasitic relationships from big powers but mostly white supremacy wnd its capital#méxico#el suco answers#basically people raised by white supremacy in media and money#and only the bare links of language and dates on a calendar as 'traditions' make them mexican so

novito it really is. That Bad. like the city is named terremoto 😭😭😭 hablando más en serio realmente está sumamente encausada en estereotipos but it doesn't really work because it uses ALL latinoamerican cultures; pretending latam is just A Conglomerate of One culture is harmful for the representation of the community, and it does not only missrepresent but reproduce annoying stereotypes. the problem is honestly a lack of self awareness and the reiteration of latam as Just One Culture instead of a sea of very unique and interesting cultures. it's really annoying that with the resources and posibilities disney has, theyve settled for such a missrepresentative and honestly lazy product <- opinion as latino from there yknow . like i dont doubt some of the Magnitude of the response from twitter is from itbeign twitter but it Is really bad . Also sowrry for the bible and feel free to not respond or post LMAO
thank you for your perspective nunkito. OH fuck i forgot about the terremoto thing yeah that's bad. i do agree with the conglomeration thing FOR SURE thats what always annoys me about latino rep in general. i also forgot to mention that people compared this concept to the casagrandes/loud house which, to be fair, that show doesn't have a monopoly on large families but in general i understand that people are tired of seeing similar stories like that where latino = huge family and want more diversity in represented latino families to AVOID those stereotypes. it definitely presents a specific idea of what we are to non-latino people which really sucks if you dont fit into that from all angles. the lack of cultural specificity is always an issue with these projects and in the us i still think the common generalization is latino = mexican which is telling and why we NEED those cultural distinctions i do agree.
the product itself im not super offended by but the greater process behind it is a huge issue i wish the social media outrage articulated more because on its own it just looks like a hate mob. but nuance doesnt exist and neither does tone on the internet :/ which sucks.
also the fact that there doesnt seem to be many latino voices BEHIND the project to LEND that specificity and cultural awareness for a specific nationality/culture to be represented is really unfortunate and that's what a lot of people were at least implying too. im a bit on the fence because on one hand why are we trusting DISNEY with presenting accurate rep but at the same time they gave incredible projects like encanto coco and the owl house so how do we make sure we get people who know wtf theyre talking about to lead and produce these projects and infiltrate the anglo ass system. its just............. rghghghghghhhhh. its not like im completely ecstatic that it exists but im also more miffed that the energy is going so strongly to this over literally anything else going on affecting us. maybe thats also algorithmic bias bringing that outrage to me though.. life is hell.
#at the same time... representations affect the way people see us affect the way we're treated in society and legislation against us and rep#BACK AGAIN... fuck my life. 🤦 im glad you brought this up because i didnt think about this aspect until now. got me thinking#about dora too tho how most people didnt even know she was peruvian bc the creators wanted all latino kids to see themselves in her but as#result her default nationality is mexican for a lot of US-ians. double edged sword :/ we are a deeply uneducated country. send help#🌟.txt#this is the bible part 2 🤦 sorry#ask.txt
