Hey thanks for uploading season 5 of mayans.
I'm possibly being a bit dim but I'm struggling to work out how to watch it.
Ive clicked the season 5 watch/download link. Made a free account. And downloaded the first episode. But whenever I click on it it starts downloading again. I can't see anything that says play. I was hoping you or one of your followers might know where I'm going wrong? 😅
Thanks again!
hi nonny! i'm going to walk you through how to download the episodes!
when you go to the website, it should look like this
2. if you want to download the entire season/folder, then hover over the green "download" button on the top left, it's going to give options on how to download, click the first option
3. when you click on it, it should start downloading at the bottom
4. if you want to download a single episode, then go to the episode you want to download and click the three dots at the lower right hand corner of the video, hover over the "download" button, then click "standard download"
5. the download should pop up below
6. the downloaded video should pop up like this, so click on the video and it should pop up in whatever program you use to watch videos/movies
I hope this helps!!<3

40%. If your character were to come face to face with their darkest fears in a nightmare, what would be the scene?
Des or Taza? Maybe even Tycho?? I don’t know, I like your characters too much lmao
ohohoho... this compells me... tbh i can answer this for all 3 of them!
Des's darkest fear is probably... rejection? He gave up everything he had to bring someone back from the dead, but that was more of a personal, selfish decision on his part. What if it was all for nothing? In his nightmare, the guy he's given everything for would just turn away from him. A clear signal that he's not interested, maybe even angry that Destreza would bring him back like this? It would be properly heart-wrenching >:)
Tycho's fear would probably be his friends he's worked so hard to form a strong bond with leaving him! He'd be alone and in the dark, and he'd probably feel some kind of crushing pressure in the nightmare that he wouldn't be able to escape from. It would be frightening and isolating!! Little guy does NOT want to be alone, please hold him
As for Taza, she's pretty lighthearted as far as my characters go, but I *have* been thinking about delving a bit deeper with her (at least for her not-dnd-related story). In regards to her oc backstory, she fell asleep for a long time and she's honestly afraid of that happening again, and her losing all the short-lived people she's met in an instant. Her nightmare would be a bit more abstract, maybe her viewing her sleeping (dragon) form from the outside, like a 3rd person view? A little bit of delicious despair as she realizes she can't wake herself >:)))))

QOTS Rewatch - 3x13 - El Mundo
First things first: I actually think this is an incredibly strong episode with great emotional range from a wide cast of characters, tying up the first three seasons' worth of story pretty neatly and introducing new elements to carry into the next season (whether those elements were used well--or at all--in that season is a subject for another day). Cortez got his comeuppance (and watching George go at him with a chainsaw was truly super). Camila got hers, Teresa-style, meaning no violence involved (Teresa's exasperated 'you're crazy!' was also super). James got to save the day and pass the buck to Javier. Teresa finally got to take over Phoenix and then set off for sights unknown. Basically a satisfying episode.
Except... it also breaks my heart 😭😭😭😭😭😭
Do I even really need to recap the events of the episode? I've spent over a week reblogging gifsets and I think I pretty much captured it all lol. James and Javier head off to Mexico, following the tracker on Camila to find and capture Cortez. Teresa, back in Phoenix, meets Castel, who warns her that Cortez plans to strike against her. As a result, she figures out there's something wrong with Cortez's latest shipment and narrowly survives a bomb intended to kill her. All of this leads to Cortez going doooown sucka. Then Castel delivers Camila to Teresa, Teresa banishes her, and now she's in control of Phoenix, yay! All her enemies are finally out of the picture! Pecas, Mayo, Cortez, Camila! So what does she do.... but decide to go expand, make some new enemies somewhere else.
And the thing is I get it because... the other big thing that happens obviously is James leaves her and she's gutted. She can't stay in Phoenix after this. It's his house. And ambition has always been her response to having her heart broken. It's her survival strategy. Right? She gets her first toe-hold in the business in the aftermath of Guero's first "death," and she claws her way up to being an asset to Camila so that she doesn't have to be a sex slave. Then Brenda's death is the catalyst for her staying in the business and partnering with Camila. Camila's betrayal of her is the catalyst for her deciding to fight for her right to be in the business herself. Guero's real death leads her to buckle down and fight back against her enemies, whom she'd hoped to peacefully coexist with. And now James leaving her... I think this is the catalyst for her deciding to focus on growing her business.
Or at least, the catalyst for her deciding to do it so quickly and drastically. She's had expanding in mind for a long time: it was back in 3x05 that she said, "now that we have a team, we can expand, get big enough where no one can hurt us." But I think this is a little bit different. That was before everything came crashing down around her. That was back when she still thought she could just sell on the dark web and no one would need to bother her because she wasn't threatening their street corners. That was when she still thought she could show everyone that this business could be operated like a legitimate business!
So when James leaves at the end of this episode and she takes off for sights unseen (aka New Orleans which... lol is not "a long flight" from Phoenix, but anyway...), the context is totally different. By now, she knows it's not really possible to do things all that differently. She's played a defensive game this season, sure--she hasn't instigated any of the drama that came at her--but she had to play the game. She had to kill her enemies (Camila being the notable exception, but I'll maybe get to that in my season 3 retrospective), she had to experience death and violence herself (Guero, obviously, but also the reporter in 3x04, and Bilal, and her own several near-death experiences). So if James had stayed, I kind of think she might not have rushed off to expand anywhere else. I think she might have genuinely just... hunkered down for a little while. Rested. Let things be. But... it's his house she's in, and he's gone. She can't stay. She has to compartmentalize. She has to do something with the restlessness that results from trying to keep her broken heart taped together. So off she goes, to try to keep busy and distract herself from the devastation she will surely feel if she slows down.
In other words: James's departure is directly related, I believe, to her queenpin arc. He's another in a line of devastating losses.
And speaking of James, on this rewatch it really sank in for me how much his leaving her--and not just the fact of his leaving but the way he left--was truly to save her. The way he saw that couple in the fight with Cortez, the woman who refused to leave the side of her dying lover even though it meant her own inevitable death? That was no accident. In 3x12, you could see James struggling with the knowledge that he had to leave with Devon but couldn't tell Teresa that. You could see the internal battle play out. This rewatch I really have come to believe that he wanted desperately to tell her, and he might have, even. But seeing that woman die for her lover, without hesitation, without fear--he saw Teresa. Any hope he had that he might tell Teresa that he wasn't leaving her, he was going with Devon, died with those two lovers in Cortez's hideout. He realized, as Devon put it so inelegantly, that he would have inevitably "dragged her down" if he had told her. She wouldn't have let him go. She would have fought with him to her death. And he's right.
Something about that makes it so much more devastating to me than on previous watches where I've largely just accepted that he was doing the ultimate sacrifice for her. Somehow it hits differently when I realize that it's not just him being self-sacrificing. He's doing it because she would too. If he didn't, she would. He's sacrificing himself for her so that he doesn't have to watch her sacrifice herself for him. It's like. ABSOLUTELY DEVASTATING. Because it's not only the biggest statement of love you could imagine, it's the biggest statement of validation. Of forgiveness. He sees who she really is, not the version of her that mistrusted him. He leaves knowing she would die for him. And she thinks he leaves because she let him down.
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
It's just brilliant. It's so brilliant. I wish Peter hadn't up and left because season 4 could have really explored this (I mean, it should've explored this better anyway, even without James around). It could've explored more explicitly how on the one hand, James is off sacrificing himself for the version of her that would die for him, the version of her that strives to do things with integrity and trust and respect, and meanwhile, she buries that part of herself more and more because she no longer believes in it herself. Because she thinks her failure to live up to that part of herself has let down the person she loves most and needs most.
Anyway. So, off she goes. Looking staggeringly beautiful, as she does, but also wistful. Pained, almost. Queenpin gives her El Mundo--the tarot card--and looks out the window with peaceful anticipation, but Teresa? She looks heavy-hearted. And we know she has every reason to be. 🥺
