Remember when the one and only "beauty" aesthetic for white ppl for thee looooongest time was being pale and malnourished? 😕 remember when they genuinely felt like that was a serve? Like it was cute to be bony & melanin-deficient? Remember when it was their industrial standard across the board?
Istg seeing/hearing these ppl use "thicc" in literally any context now is a hate crime, smh.

Are there Black dialects of Spanish?
Tumblr media
Some people got a surprising result after taking an MIT dialect quiz. It was meant to guess what U.S. dialect the test taker spoke and the person's native language. As results started coming in, many Spanish speakers saw their English dialect had been marked as “U.S. Black Vernacular/Ebonics”
But what's the connection between speaking Spanish and U.S. Black Vernacular?
In the United States, dialects spoken by African Americans are sometimes referred to as Black English, African American Vernacular English, or even Ebonics. Though the terms have had different levels of popularity, having a specific name at all has given African Americans the ability to reclaim their language practices as a joyous part of their identity. 
But much less common are terms and discussions about Blackness and Black language beyond English. If Black English dialects exist, are there also Black forms of other languages due to colonization? For example, are there Black Spanishes and Black Portugueses, too? Read more here.

Friendly reminder that Jazz way of speaking is not “thug” or “gangster” But AAVE, an actual existing Dialect in the United States that is predominantly used in Black Communities, and if you don’t know how to use it you should not do it because it comes off as mockery.

more character rambling
I just rewatched the VVV episode and just learning about how they like all mesh with each other
flug and demencia have their rivalry while they're both doing their best to serve black hat but they both have different opinions on what would serve him better
flug feels that his tech and smarts is more than enough to get the job done while demencia believes in her strength and power to be what black hat needs
but in the end, he hired the both of them because he knows that they are both useful to him depending on what he needs and he likely knows how powerful they are when they work together
one of the orientation video rules is to form a team of villains if you need more strength against heroes and while he isn't following the rule for the sake of strength cause clearly he can kill whoever he'd like to whenever he wants, he knows that if he's employing people, he needs a team that can work together to get the job done to enact out his will.
Of course he still messes with them, especially flug because he knows no matter what he does with demencia she's going to love him so he teases her by flirting a bit instead, but when it comes to flug especially in the VVV and the Satellite Mysteries episode, he likes his suffering bc it's funny to him
which is extremely in character for him, of course
I just love seeing them all in one scene because the dynamics flow so well and for all of them to be villains and still likeable is like perfect. There are a lot of likeable villains from several series but it also puts you in the position of rooting for them
You want to see them succeed over the heroes, that could also be because it's more so in their POV but they don't hide the evil things they do. All of them, the exception being 5.0.5 but yknow he helps out where he can because maybe he doesn't want to do extreme evil but he likes making his family happy and that's what they are to him, family
It's just like a great found family dynamic despite Black Hat likely killing anyone who would suggest such a thing
To a small extent, I think he's attached to them. Even in VVV, he clearly doesn't want to lose Demencia [likely because she's extremely powerful and he also wanted to see Flug get his ass kicked] though we didn't see what he might think about Flug being gone in the Heed episode but Black Hat does know things about him
Now he could know for the sake of wanting to keep his employees in check and making sure they wouldn't try to betray him BUT he could honestly do that regardless with how intimidating he is. They have slight favouritism too since they likely can get away with small things that he would have immediately killed anyone else for doing
The way I'd love to go off about the subtly of black hat expressing emotions other than malicious ones
im so obsessed with how they're all written aUGH

esp. Black/AAVE tumblr, do “gonna” and “finna” have different vibes to you as auxiliary verbs?
asking because curious
I was also having a hunch that if you say “fixing to”/“finna” there's more of a hint that the action is intentional or really being set up to happen compared to “going to”/“gonna”
