my beautiful son who has every wikipedia article memorized.

Hi I have finally logged unto Tumblr after dissociating for 3 days after having an internal episode and then jumping on a plane to end up in my sunny Hellish homeland of Latinoamerica and before I know it both Gaymael is real and so is Ishcliff I am very lost but also in joy but also sad because the past haunts me

Riri: tony i think i’m gettin sick

Tony: SEE, for going barefooted

Riri internally: WHAT DOES THAT EVEN HAVE TO DO WITH ?? one of the most renamed genius of our time and he still uses old lady logic on me, unbelievable.

this is so fucking sad honestly (people like ana de armas also talked about similar experiences). actors who have english as their first language or have an “acceptable” accent will never understand her struggles and of course will want to talk over her own experiences. and it also reminds me how fucking pissed I am that even in a galaxy far away and shit they have to ‘explain’ why people have latino accents. fuck hollywood

As someone from Latam, the way the people of United States views racism and discrimination is so unique to their country it scares me how easy it is for them to try and apply it for everything.

It's kinda impossible for me to imagine discarding everything that is flawed within Latine culture in an attempt to erase racism and discrimination. Because there are many elements that are vital to the Latine culture that are both incredibly racist and incredibly representing. There's not a neat cut on something "good" or "bad", not a set of rules that can tell you what you should engage with.

That's what critical thinking is for?????

Idk. It's the way I've read some people screaming for more diversity in their favorite shows and then when the art doesn't match their cultural frame, instead of researching or trying to understand why it is different in the first place?!?! They go out accusing and judging and setting trials based only on what they know.

Maybe the reason they don't give you as much cultural diversity as you want is because you can't take it without the threat of becoming a puritan, you know... Like, it's okay to lack the tools to analyze something, we all ignore a lot, that's the basis of the human condition. Just chill and try to ask and investigate for once in your life...

Allie whenever you're free can you tell us about your experience... How you felt... I have never been to a concert so I love reading how it feels to be there!!

Hi!! 🥹🥹 Oh my god… about Louis, there’s not much left to be said, I feel like I would be repeating what everyone says all the time. He’s absolutely amazing on stage, he glows, he’s beautiful, his voice is angelical, his band is amazing!!! I’m so so so so proud of him, it’s incredible to actually be part of something like that. I feel like my heart could burst at any moment, he deserves everything!

About the experience and the fandom as a whole, I think I have more to say about that, all my previous experiences were very different from this one. I attended to one previous 1D show in Brazil and the others in the UK, and I was never this emerged IRL in the brazilian fandom for such a long time before - I spent around 16 hours waiting in line. So:

- Everyone loves Louis so fucking much, it’s insane to feel this kind of energy irradiating from people. So many people that were passing by and saw fans waiting in line said they would check who this Louis guy was because the fans seemed so passionate about it

- Safe space for everyone 🏳️‍🌈❤️

- Not that easy to spot larries at all. I bet a massive part were larries (not sure if it was the majority though), but I only saw 2 or 3 people wearing more obvious blue and green accessories and that was it. And then when I was inside I noticed a lot of people had Harry or larry on their lock screens and many were raising the flags on lines that are very often associated to that on this side of fandom. But people were very lowkey about it

- Me and @lets-laughagain were absolutely surrounded by antis and “neutrals”, unfortunately LOL Larry and babygate subjects came up and we had to sit there and listen to them talk and ask about Freddie and completely play dumb. I just wanted to dig a hole and stay there forever. It was an experience 🫠🫠🫠

- Young people. I was the older (I’m 30) everywhere I went, except for the parents accompanying their kids.. which was also A LOT people doing that (parents were having the best time and completely passionate about Louis as well ❤️❤️) Average age was between 15-22 I’d guess. At the barricade where I was at I kind of asked around and people were around 15-16, so I was at least twice their age. They called Louis “old” multiple times and I kind of snapped saying I was 30 too and that’s why I was ~playfully~ asking their ages. Also I noticed most people call him “gay” all the time in a very weird way? It’s weird as fuck, man. And everything about the younger people bothered the shit out of me. I knew brazilian fandom was predominantly very young (and that’s why I rarely engage with it), the show I went in 2014 was basically the same but I mean.. that was 8 years ago?! So I was expecting that people were growing up with it lol and not stuck in time with One Direction.

- Speaking of 1D, many people are clearly stuck at that. Which is both a good thing and bad thing, I guess. And that would explain about the age range on the previous topic. But it’s weird because - and that’s just an example - they were really bothered at Louis’ pre-show playlist and asking for people in the venue to change to 1D songs and stuff like that. It’s upsetting because those are the songs Louis likes and that’s where he’s going with his own sound and career and people don’t really seem to understand that.

- No one knew the set list and the lyrics for 7 and Beautiful War LOL I was clearly one of the only person screaming in both songs at the top of my lungs.

- By far the most “aggressive” show I have ever been to.

Goodreads recommended books for hispanic heritage months is so funny because it's really easy to tell when a book was written by a latin american and when one was written by a usamerican with latin american heritage.

Like. The children of immigrants always seem to use words and names in spanish mixed with english to make it known that they are latines. Like the hacienda, hello mi amor or whatever. The books whole appeal are about them being hispanic

Meanwhile latin american authors get translated and they give no hint of any heritage in the title until you read their name. Because for them the experience of being latin american is not the main part of the plot, but the background

No shade. It's just interesting how there's this whole market that uses the "exotism" of being latin american in the us that romanticizes an idea that is often very different from the reality

i can't believe im going to rant about a mouse game of all things but this game. transformice. ur character is a mouse. my mouse has feminine items, i am a girl mouse. almost every single time i play someone has to say some obscene or raunchy shit at me or guys straight up DM me with the sole intention of trying to DATE me!!!! ooohh my gaaawd i keep NOT turning the chat of because sometimes interactions can be fun but i can't believe how rampant this shit to the point where playing on a guest account is less harmful to my psyche ansdkjfg this is absurd!! i'm gonna start using that block button religiously!!

They renovated my town local public library recently and while it has way less books now for some reason they made a "latinoamerican" section so 😈 time to get patriotic and read all those books i should ve been reading all this time, expect me to get even more insufferable from now on 😌😈

PLSSSSS 😭😭😭
