Sonia Paulino Love Outbound to Montevideo, Day 29
I'm back at the airport for a return flight over the Andes to Santiago where I'll take an overnight flight back home. On my way here, my driver told me about her connection to the tragedy/miracle, having been a grade school classmate of one that did not survive.
Huddled in line for boarding, an oblivious 20something ahead of me talks nonstop with someone on the phone and keeps swinging her bookbag to hoist it up her shoulder (maybe try using both straps?), hitting me with it twice with nothing more than a side-eye glance as recognition the first time and nothing at all the second. Behind me, an older couple, professional tourist-types, bicker about I don’t know what something about someone not knowing how to use their cell phone. Moments earlier I’d noticed the wife raising her voice to a gate attendant. The young woman and the couple both carried American passports.
There is a saying in Montevideo that summer doesn’t end until the last cyclist comes through. This is in reference to the professional cyclists that conclude their tour of the country in Montevideo sometime nearing March, when folks are readying to resume the regular pace of life and everyday responsibilities. I'm bracing myself for what's to come.
Montevideo. Your name is like a dream. What does it mean?
Some things I will miss: Your super flavorful fruit and vegetables and the open air ferias, where the offerings are better and cheaper than at the supermarkets.
The often impressive, sometimes jarring, kindness of people.
When one says "thank you" the reply is often "please".
How genuinely thankful service providers are for any tip at all.
The smell of papilla in the air and the glimpse of ocean at the end of some streets.
Your low crime rate, progressive civil rights initiatives, and true separation of church and state.
Inexpensive taxis and Ubers.
Unpretentiousness.
The mix of Spanish colonial, Art Deco, and modern architecture.
Some things I was late to understand or didn't get at all: Spanglish doesn't work here and there is no letter for the sound the "o" makes in Love.
The use of "vos" and the accent on the other syllAble.
Dinner at 10pm or later.
And a suggestion: Give pedestrians a chance.

totk au where its self-indulgent and it fits MY wants AND needs for the series 🙄
anywayz fun whimsy au for the sillies. there's for sure holes in this but idgaf I wanted to draw the Zonai as Minish as I hced a while back the Zonai are a Minish tribe and whatevs <3 I replaced the Master Sword for the Picori Sword cuz idk it made sense to me. ngl tho I was debating who Ganondorf should kill off first, Rauru or Sonia, but just ultimately decided to stick to canon with that part so sorry Sonia enthusiast 😔 I will repay you one day
ALSO THEIR HEIGHT CHART TEE HEE THEY ARE ALL ITTY BITTY except for Ganondorf and maybe Sonia, she's average height. And that's as tall as Zelda is going to get el oh el

Sonia Paulino Love Outbound to Montevideo, Day 28
I was excited that Valentina lent me her bicycle for me to enjoy a ride along la rambla, but woke to drizzle rain. A repeating lesson from this trip seems to be that whenever I want to go, I am forced to slow. Be it waiting and waiting and waiting for a bus to come, if it comes at all, or an event to start, if it takes place at all, getting hit by a truck, or the weather itself, the force of the pace of things here will always overcome my personal will and habits of being. 
Parque Rodo market
Goodbye dinner with fam. Thank you for taking good care of me. I will miss you the most. Esto no es un adios, sino un hasta luego!

unironically one of my favorite Comedy Moments in the entire DR franchise is the part in DR2 where Sonia says she's not a virgin so her blood can't be used as the entrance fee to Gundham's hell rollercoasters or whatever, and Kazuichi's having a Man Minute about it with snot coming down his face, and Nagito steps in like "uhhh alright guys we're fucking wasting time let's go?" also Nekomaru's there and he's a robot now
