Headcanon that Coco didn't actually know her father's name.
She was three or four when he left. As far as she was concerned, his name was Papá.
She remembered her mother singing and dancing with him, but she had no memories of Imelda actually calling Héctor by name.
And afterwards, Imelda got rid of anything that belonged to him, anything that might bear his name. She never mentioned his name again. Oscar and Felipe didn't either.
Coco had the picture, so she knew what he looked like, but not his name. Even the letters - they were all addressed to Coco, and signed "Papá." Yes, there were many parts that were for Imelda - Imelda was the one who read them to Coco, since she presumably couldn't read much more than her name - but they were for Coco, which was why she had them when Imelda began her purge.
Even if Coco had wanted to try to find out more about her father after her mother died, she couldn't. She wouldn't get very far without a name.
She spent the rest of her life clinging to a fading memory of a kind man with dark eyes and a guitar. She would take out his picture and look at it. She was glad she only had daughters, because if she'd had a son she would have been conflicted about whether to want to give her father's name as a middle name, and she didn't know it.
Miguel finally discovered his great-great-grandfather's name - well, in a believable way that he could tell everyone else, anyway - after going to the town hall and digging through old records for hours and finally discovering a marriage license for Héctor and Imelda Rivera.
Depending on when Coco died, though, she may not have been alive to see this.
Depending on whether Miguel told his great-grandmother about his adventure in the Land of the Dead, she may or may not have died still not knowing her father's name. Not until a weeping young man embraces her in the Department of Family Reunions, and, crying herself, she melts into his embrace, hugging him back, and she hears her mother's voice saying softly, "Ay, Héctor, Coco."

Not to get too "controversial", but in all of my Coco AUs and stories Miguel would be pro-Palestine actually

🌼 Big Info/Update on my "Coco" Book 🌼
Tumblr media
So it's almost been a year ...
Wow! What a journey so far! I wanted to take my time to talk to you "every dear one of you who loves my art and follows me" for a bit. Now, this will be a long post so keep that in mind!
I cannot remember a year in which I went through so many changes. I grew a lot mentally and I learned a lot. When I first watched Coco, I didn't know at all what kind of impact it will have on me. I know it did for a whole lot many more than just me. It's not just a movie, it's something that moved my heart in depths I cannot explain. Look, the only movie franchise who ever was able to impact me that deeply was Lord of the Rings/Hobbit, but then Coco came along and well ... Héctor! ... and Ernesto.
Tumblr media
But talking about Héctor in every little detail possible is planned for another post. There is so much! And Ernesto even more. Ernesto is actually (has actually) been my biggest surprise this year 🤯 And let me tell you why for a little because this is a important part of this whole post!
Tumblr media
Villains. We all know what a villain is. When I first saw Ernesto, I was instantly drawn to his charmful personality. I love mexico! I love mexicans, (they happen to be one of the funniest, kindest and most temperamental ones I ever came across and they understand how to celebrate life and death!) At first, we only see what Ernesto can do without knowing anything just yet. I was blown! Let me get this down, he's a musícan with a inrcedible voice (I have an opera education background so I connect to his trained voice), he's a actor, a showman, he's a phenomenal horseback rider and he's handsome! I don't need to tell you about the punch in the guts you end up having later!
Tumblr media
Oh, yes! Something I would say! Seriously! I do act like that whenever I am burning for something! *cough* snowflakes quite recently! It was late and my boss only had 1 client left and it started snowing big flakes and I went full child excited mood "think Ernesto and fireworks" until they hit me with their "Augh, snow! Cold, wet, annoying!" And then I literally turned into this cinematic drama queen telling them about nostalgia and the spirit of christmas! *laugh* Their faces 😆 Bah humbug! Truly!
Can you imagine Ernesto in the role of Ebenezer Scrooge? I can! 😆 Héctor, Ceci and Imelda as the 3 spirits of christmas. Yes sir! I want that for christmas! *cough* aaand I'm rambling! I was talking about my book ... yes ... back to that!
Anyway! Moving on! I've told you before that as an INFP personality it's in my nature anyway to think and feel myself deeper into things (whatever they are) and I need about 2 or 3 rows to analyze and solidifying my opinion. That's what happened with Ernesto. Yes, at first I was "heck this guy!" Mildly said, I did not like Ernesto. One. Bit. I was mad and I, for the first few moments, labled him as a villain too! But then I rewatched and rewatched and rewatched Coco and I analyzed Ernesto. And after I went "wait a dang minute!" I realized, no, this man is certainly not your typical "Bad guy!" And after my Dad "an ex-soldier and chef prison guard" confirmed my analysis, I started researching and studying on human behavior, trauma (PTSD) and especially psyche! Now, I wanted to do this anyway because of Héctor and Imelda but it played into my hands with Ernesto. But it also flipped my whole opinion of him. It is a canon fact, that Héctor and Ernesto grew up together and were like brothers to each other and I had the statement, that Ernesto isn't proud of what he's done. Oh boy did that flip tables for me! Because guess what! A true villian is evil, period. You don't go thinking about any redemption because they are that far gone! And a truly rotten, evil soul does not regret their actions or deeds, they are perfectly fine and content with them. I would love to share my whole Sherlock Holmes 🔎 action I did on Ernesto with you but I can't because that would def. spoil everything that is to come!
Ok, this whole Ernesto case has changed and impacted my book! And not only that. The longer I wrote, I got back my grammar and writing skills (after not truly writing for years!) I improved and only after months and then going back to the first half of my book, I realized that many things weren't the way I wanted them anymore. The plot was now solid (wasn't at first) some age/timeline aspects changed! I tweaked some things! Grammar too. And that means I will need to go over my whole first bunch of chapters eventually!
Now I really know where my book is heading! From beginning to end! I now have the silver lining! That also means, the Title of my book has changed! But I will change it in time, not just yet!
The thing with Ceci 👓
Tumblr media
Honestly, when I first included Ceci in my book, I, just like with many things, as I mentioned, had no idea what to do with her! I knew I wanted her in, because of that one scene! She instantly had me with her sassy attitude. And since it was pretty clear that she and Héctor knew each other and that she's been helping him not only once, I knew that there had to be a connection. And so I went with it. But that was still raw and not well thought through. That came fairly quickly though! And by now, Ceci is, next to Imelda one of the main characters! She plays a big role and she will be very important for the future!
My Book - Not just any other Fanfic
Tumblr media
I know that everyone has their own opinion, view of things and headcanons. This is mine! But while it is my headcanon, I had the goal from the moment I sat down and decided "I'm going to do this!" To make my book feel as canon as possible. I knew I didn't just want to create yet another "great" fanfiction, I wanted to create something that is way more than just that. Something that could give huge Coco fans like me something back. Something that has an impact, something that shares what I have in my heart at least a little! I wanted to do something that hasn't been done before! And for once, I dedicated myself to it, no matter how long it will take, I will finish it! Oof, didn't that sound like something Héctor would say?
This thing has become my baby! 😂
I wanted to stay "true" to each character, stay in line and make readers go "yep, that's how it all happened" I wanted the characters to stay real and authentic. I didn't want to change them or make them do things that would fall out of their character. I knew I wanted my book to circle around Héctor mainly but the longer I worked on it, the more I understood that Ernesto, Ceci and Imelda are just as much of a part of Héctor! And developing their story, they became a huge part.
I wanted and still want to bring emotions across as if you'd feel them! I also knew and now I know even more, that my book is "in no way" for children! It is in everyway for us adults, for teens at least! Because I go deeper and touch on topics that are scary, painful, harsh and dark. You'll see that even more in chapters to come!
Conclusion ❗️
Since it's a real book I am working on, I realized that it is pretty normal that some chapters take weeks, sometimes even months to write. I understood that it's ok to take my time! And if it ends up taking me 2 or 3 years to finish it. I stopped feeling guilty when I cannot post new content fast enough because it just takes a lot of time and effort. And besides my passions, life happens and continues. Work happens to be exhausting sometimes, not all weekends end up being a free-time for me. And there are family gatherings, normal things to do, as plain as grocery shopping. And recently, christmas. But I appreciate every time I get to work on my book and my art!
-
So, yes, I had to get to this conclution on my own. While it is clear for others. And that has everything to do with my personality. I love pleasing people and making people happy. And by all means, I love love love what I do! If I could I would double my arms and work on more tings faster! Sometimes I wish I could stay home and work on my hobbies only but that isn't going to happen for me.
So at that point. I want to say "Thank you!" AGAIN! For all you guys who have been sticking around so far! For all the kind words! I hope you'll stick around for the next year/years to come and keep Coco alive!
🌼 Coco is timeless 🌼
It is so much more than just bringing across a deep important message! It has earned itself a very special place in my heart! It has caused me to pick up writing again, and it made me pick up my guitar and finally learn it! I will finish telling Héctor's story! And Ernesto's along with it! And I am no longer scared if some might end up hating it or calling me crazy for it! Because, like Héctor said, then I am, un poco loco! And I want to be nothing else!

My favorite thing about Simon Riley (at least how he is in my head ya know) is that he's either on top of it like he knows you better than anyone else-
It was just a regular Friday night, you had been out with some friends and probably drank a bit too much for anyone's comfort, so with a sigh of defeat you called your boyfriend (who you had pinkie promised you wouldn't need to call, because you are a mature, well adjusted, adult) It was late but not very so the phone only rang once before he picked up.
"Good evenin princess."
"Si?" your voice was a bit rasped and the lingering sob in the back of your throat didn't help your case, a cryer is what your friends called your more drunken state, "I...Lil too much."
A pause and you hear the jingle of his keys, "Ten minutes. Stay on the phone with me, yeah?"
"Mkay, is' cold outside."
"Why are you outside, baby?"
"Ji-Jill got an uber- said-said I couldn't come. an-and the bar sai-said I can't go back inside...they were so mean."
"Fuckin Jillian-" You hear him mutter and then his voice goes back to its regular level, "Baby I want you to go back to the bar and tell them that I'm gonna be there to pick you up in a minute, is's snowin out here."
A short pause, "And I know the guy at the door scares you but I need you to be my strong girl and go back inside, yeah?"
Or its just, he's oblivious until the very end-
You were currently running a hundred-and-two fever, your muscles ached and everything in you screamed at you to sit down and take a nap. However, your boyfriend just got back from deployment and you were determined to make sure everything was perfect for him. And, thus far, it was- you put on some makeup to make yourself look alive and you just resigned to not speaking a lot, or eating. He didn't seem to notice, about forty hours back into being home and everything was perfect! Aside from the lingering feeling you may just drop dead at any moment.
So at that moment, you sat on the sofa with him, his arm wrapped around your shoulders, your hot skin covered by your hoodie and the hood of it pulled over to hide your face as you had aptly nuzzled into his side. You felt like death.
Yet in Simon's mind he thought you were just being a blushing school girl, excited about his return and a bit flustered by it. Until he dipped his head down to press a kiss against your forehead.
"The fuck?" He muttered as he moved his hand to your forehead and tugged down the hood to look at you, "Why're so hot?"
You gulp down and shrug your shoulders, "Jus little sick. 'M okay."
"Girly- your skin is burnin up." "Okay?" "How...have you bee' sick this 'tire time?"
"Really feel fine-"
"Lair."
A pause and you look down, "Only little bit."
(annnyway thats it <333 comments and all that jazz make my day)

Your posts about wen ning are making me very sad. He just wants a hug 😔 can we wrap him up in a weighted blanket instead of chains? Much more comforting and still deadly when thrown at others!

Your Boyfriend is a Bitch Headcanon -Mayans Version
Summary: How the guys would react if they overheard some guy hitting on you and saying that your boyfriend is a bitch. Inspiration came from the song below.
Taglist: @keyweegirlie @hatersaremymotivators @meera10 @kikijackson-blog @im-just-a-mississippi-girl
Tumblr media
A hint of mischief is in Coco's eyes as he turns to you after knocking the guy out who had went from telling you how beautiful you were to telling Coco he was a bitch and he could steal you away if he really wanted to.. "My bad ma" he states with a smile. You had been begging for a normal date night away from the clubhouse and brothers. As much as you loved them and the club sometimes it was nice to have a quiet dinner at a nice restaurant outside of town. You couldn't help the smile and laugh as you shook your head as you reached for his hand quickly moving to your car. "I can't take you anywhere. Always getting me in trouble" he continued as the sound of sirens could be heard in the distance.
Tumblr media
"Oh, really? You think you have a chance of taking me?" inquired Angel his voice casual as he turned to the younger guy who had sat down at your table. The guy had been chatting you up since you had stepped into the packed clubhouse looking for your man. Not taking a single word you had said to heart as you told him to back off and that your boyfriend was not one to play with. You watched as the mans eyes widened as he took in Angel and his eyes flickered over the patches. Angel was an imposing man sitting down but when he stood up the guy took off. "Thought I was the bitch?" laughed Angel as he sat back down looking at you.
Tumblr media
Short king Bishop oozes big dick, don't fuck with me energy. Which is why you are stunned into silence as well as Gilly and Angel at what the new prospect has just said to him. The air is tense as Bishop contemplates the young man who had just dared to say he could fuck you better than him. "I assume you only said this because you think my beautiful goddess of a wife is a club girl correct? " asked Bishop as he gently taps your hip. Once you have stood up off his lap he stands up and walks to the new prospect who has decided now to shut his mouth. "I'll help you out son. There is no correct answer" states Bishop as he grabs the guys arm and leads him out the door.
Tumblr media
Manny is all slow blinks and tight smiles as he listens to the man next to him at the bar describe all the ways he would do you as they wait for EZ to get them beers. "Said she has a boyfriend, dumb bitch doesn't know what she's missing out on. He's obviously a winner since he left her alone." states the man as he nudges Manny who chuckles darkly. "Yeah, the mother of my four beautiful girls over there sure is missing out" he states before punching the guy in the face. "Also im her husband not her boyfriend" states Manny before making his way to you. "This is why I don't bring you out ma. Always got me acting up" joked Manny as he pulled you too him for a kiss.
Tumblr media
Guero is all angry forehead press and fists the minute the guy grabs your arm to turn you too him. The two of you had been taking a break from dancing and wee making out in the back of the packed clubhouse. You had mentioned to Guero earlier that the guy had been hitting on you and said he could take your boyfriend in a fight when you mentioned you were not single. Guero had wanted to put his fist through the guys face then but you had been so amused he had pushed the idea down so that he could keep that smile on your face. Now though it was on. No one touched what was his.
Tumblr media
The moment your sweet Teddy Bear said excuse me and stood up you knew the guy was done for. It never ceased to amaze you how many people thought it was fun to poke the grizzly bear of a man that was Gilly. You smiled as he blew you and your daughter who was cooing away in your arms kisses before grabbing the back of the guys neck and walking him out of the clubhouse. "Still getting guys in trouble, four days after giving birth" chuckled Coco, making you laugh, as he stood up. "I'll make sure he doesn't kill the kid"
Tumblr media
Creeper is silent as he watches you and the guy go back and forth. You have just as much blood on your hands as he does, he knows you can handle yourself. He won't hesitate to step in though if you want him too. He patiently waits for your cue as he sips his beer, chuckling when the guy says he can do you better and asks what position you like. "Do you like having your ass fucked?" you inquire as you tap Creepers arm. "As her bitch of a boyfriend I like to watch her fuck guys in the ass" he states as he looks the guy up and down.
Tumblr media
"Who's the bitch now?" growled Bottles as he stood over the guy he had just punched in the jaw much to the shock of everyone. The guy had been following you like a scenthound, not taking your rejection of an offer to dance or to sneak off to a more private area. Even when you stated your boyfriend was a Mayan he was undeterred, going so far as to push you into a wall saying your boyfriend must be a bitch if he wasn't with you. Pushing Guero out of the way as he congratulated Bottles you pulled him to you demanding he take you home to bed now.
Tumblr media
EZ is willing to let the guy slide. He's drunk and clearly overcome by your beauty. Who wouldn't be? He could not blame the guy for coming over and hitting on you. He probably figured you two were just friends sitting here having a drink and a chat. Its an easy mistake if you are new like he was. The two of you shared a look and small chuckle when the guy said your boyfriend was probably a bitch. He was going to let hat slide too but when the guy angrily slapped your beer out of your hand.....letting anything slide was out the door.

𝐒𝐇𝐔𝐑𝐈 𝐇𝐂𝐒. -- 🤍
pic for hc 1
Tumblr media
she defo hides her face in pics bc she's just a private person & doesn't like showing her face in pics anyway.
intentionally matches with you and doesn't tell you , so its a lil surprising lol.
--"Not you trying to be me."
"I'm not. It was a coincidence." She lies.
loves teaching you about her culture & languages
"Youre not pronouncing it right. Watch my lips."
"How many times are we going to have to do this?"
you sometimes catch her staring at you out of the blue, when you least expect it.
"Whats wrong, is there something on my face?"
"No. You're just really, really beautiful."
Her love language is prob all 5, but especially gifts and words of affirmations, and a little physical touch here and there.
You defo force her to do facemasks, baking with and tiktok dances (yall know the majorette one that's all over tt. Yeah.) She acts like she doesn't want to but deep down she loves it.
She wears your clothes when she misses you, or whenever really.
"Wait -- is that my--"
"No.."
Her fav artists are defo sonder,Brent faiyaz and the weeknd. Maybe a chill r n b girlie too.
Ik alot of ppl think she's a stud, but I see her as a stem aaaalwaayssss. She defo loves African traditional dresses, or dresses in general. (I loves the one she had on in bpwf)
Her fav colour is defo black. She lives for black. Literally all of her clothes are black.
She loves physical touch.. sometimes. She likes to sit on your lap sometimes and just chill, or lay her head on your lap.
When she's jealous or misses you, she makes it known omg. Mass calls and facetimes whenever, and grabbing your waist and kissing you 😩
When your massage her scalp or help her do her hair, she defo falls asleep in your lap and you use that opportunity to take pics. (Of course.)
vv private person. All of her social media is pretty much private. Her profile picture is probably a black screen or a picture of you with not one video or photo to be seen.
Her wallpaper is a photo of you that you think is embarrassing.
"Nooo baby I don't like that photooo"
"But you look cute"

Hey beautiful! I see your headcanons are open; was wondering if you can do a headcanon for Coco falling in love. Thank you baby! ❤️
Tumblr media
He’s sure in the beginning that he won’t fall for you
That it’ll just be something casual
A few dates here
Having you meet him at the clubhouse for patties there
He’s clear that he doesn’t want anything that will be too serious
Just companionship
But slowly he starts falling, no matter how hard he tries not to
Wanting to take you out more
Asking you to wear certain outfits
Feeling his heart flutter when you get your nails done in his favorite style or color and then show them off to him
How he normally hates being on the phone and yet now he’s got it glued to his hand often
Tapping the screen to see if you’ve texted
Sending you texts himself
Sneaking off to call you when time allows
How he always seems to find himself thinking about you when he’s laying in bed ready to go to sleep
And the way his thoughts shift to you as soon as he wakes up
He knows he’s in deep then
And so do the boys
Teasing him all the time
Asking when the wedding is happening
Asking if he’s gonna give Letty a little sibling
Everyone is all in agreement that he loves you, he’s just the last to admit it
But when he does, he’s all in
And good luck getting rid of him

Forget dick HCs what about hand HCs…
Tumblr media
JJK Men Hands HCs
Nanami
Soft, well moisturized. If they aren’t you know he’s going through it especially bad. Nails are kept short and cuticles are well maintained too. No hangnails or biting here. Nail beds somewhere between round and square (squoval?) knuckles only slightly thicker than the rest of his fingers, that little concave bit you get between thumb and wrist is perfect on him.
Tumblr media
Gojo
Thin, long fingers. Well maintained hands like Nanami, but because he actually goes to get his nails done - complete with a treatment base coat on the nails (sometimes shiny) and a hand massage. Yes, he turns his infinity off for the older woman who does his nails and yes he trusts her completely. Oval nail beds, elegant wrists, knuckles not especially pronounced.
Tumblr media
Sukuna
BIG hands, BIG knuckles, square nail beds. Heian era polish was transparent, made of waxes and plant dyes, but modern era polish is black or a blackened purple. Nails go just past his fingertips. Knuckles are slightly darker than the rest of his hands. Thick wrists with prominent bones, likewise for that little part where thumb meets wrist. The backs of his hands look surprisingly smooth, but if his hands are in fists or gripping something his tendons are very pronounced.
Tumblr media
Ijichi
Thin fingers, thin wrists, oval nail beds, nails either chopped incredibly short or going slightly past the tips of his fingers. Cuticles chewed to shit. Veiny hands with a slightly pink hue on his knuckles. They’re soft, though sometimes clammy when he’s stressed or nervous.

A lot of people headcanon Héctor as being an orphan, since he tells Miguel that he's never been on any ofrenda, and if he'd had parents or siblings or whatever somebody probably would have put him up at some point.
What if Ernesto was an orphan too? And this is how he and Héctor met - they both grew up together in the same orphanage.
The name "de la Cruz" - "of the cross" - certainly sounds like it could be the name of an orphanage, if it was run by a church. Perhaps Héctor's surname was de la Cruz as well, before he married Imelda and took on her name, having no family name of his own. But Ernesto never married, and the de la Cruz name he kept.
So Ernesto becomes famous, and this is part of the reason why he's so beloved - he built himself up from nothing, with no family or friends to help him, except the childhood friend and music partner who mysteriously disappeared very early in his career. It's a rags-to-riches story; Ernesto succeeded with nothing but his own talent. People thought If he can fulfill his dream with nothing, I can too.
Then Ernesto dies. And after everyone in the Department of Family Reunions stops being so excited about Ernesto arriving and asking for his autograph, they run into a bit of a snag.
The whole point of the Department of Family Reunions is to facilitate family reunions. When someone dies, they notify the family to come reunite with their newest member.
Except Ernesto doesn't have any family. He was left at the orphanage as a baby; he doesn't know anyone's name.
Now, they can't have the great Ernesto de la Cruz leaving the Department of Family Reunions alone! Surely they can find some family for him?
Digging through the records, they find that one Héctor Rivera named Ernesto de la Cruz as being "as good as a brother to me" back when he arrived two decades ago, along with his wife and daughter. Since he's the only lead, they notify him.
Héctor arrives at the Department of Family Reunions, happy to see his friend again, and ready to help Ernesto adjust to the Land of the Dead, although he did have a few questions about the songs.
As you can imagine, this meeting was incredibly awkward for Ernesto.

☆ൠ cousins abel and rosa
ANON TE QUIERO THANK YOU FOR THIS ASK EVEN THO I ANSWERED THIS LITERALLY YEARS LATE AAAA
From this headcanon meme!
☆ Happy headcanons!
Having music in the household is obviously a happy memory. Now that music is in the house, Abel and Rosa are now free to explore the once-forbidden realm.
Abel found joy in learning the accordion after Abuelito showed him Norteño music, and VERY quickly realized that he had a beautiful and rich voice thanks to some impromptu lessons from Miguel. He might or might not had used these skills to woo Doña Castillo's granddaughter, much to the her delight (and Miguel's dismay, but Abel promised to take over with shoe-shining for a day so it was worth it). The shoes technique was good and it did work in getting him closer to her, but nothing made his heart soar with delight than when Valéria sang along with him from her balcony before coming down to kiss him. He would look back to that day and wondered whether that was what Papá Héctor felt whenever he would sing and play music for Mamá Imelda.
Rosa also found joy in music, but for her it was the violin, harmonica, and dancing. Her discovering Olga Breeskin Torres, Elena Makhnev, and Máiréad Nesbitt greatly inspired her to learn how to play the violin and dance at the same time. Not wanting to stick to just one specific genre, however, she channeled her inner Óscar y Felipe and experimented with different genres and came up with her own unique style.
ൠ Random headcanons!
Abel is surprisingly rather protective of his younger siblings and cousin, despite his goofy personality and sweet nature. He IS Berto Rivera's son, after allーa lot of his papá's protective nature is passed down to him. He once even got into a fight when he was eight because his family's name was made fun of. He has mellowed quite a bit as he grows up but when push comes to shove he won't hesitate to throw his footwear at his target or fly in a punch or two to any cabrón deserving of it (though he would much rather not). He is also very similar to Papá Julio and Tía Rosita in such a way.
Rosa, on the other hand, isn't the most random person in the familyーthe perfect mix of Mamá Imelda's stubborn nature and self-efficiency, Tía Victoria's intelligence and sass, and Carmen's kindness. Outside of her unexpected love for chapulines and her infatuation with the boy next door named Marco, her no-nonsense and sassy nature doesn't make too much room for randomness. Nearly everything is well-calculated in Rosa Rivera's life, as to be expected from the future matriarch of the Rivera family once she is of age.

cw pet death under the cut
Well, I guess I largely vanished for the past couple of days for some people. We unexpectedly lost two of our ratties, one of which was one I had a close bond with, so that sure knocked me out for a day. I've been taking care of one of our little old ladies, Sammy, and we expected she would leave us fairly soon, but we lost Willow and Abbie within just a couple of days of each other instead. Have some cute photos of baby abbie and willow since they were Very Loved and had happy lives. Baby Abbie! When we saw how tiny she was (stunted growth, runt) and her little broken tail we had to take her home with us... somehow, miraculously, she could still move the whole tail! It's a mystery how it broke in the first place, and no one knew when we got her. We never had it amputated since it wasn't causing her any distress, and it just over time came to look like a little pikachu tail to us. She was my little heart rat and was glued to me near constantly.

"FOUL TARNISHED...." And baby Willow!!

So cute in her pot pie the incredibly sweet /sadcute photos of her mommy, Bonnie (still with us!) protecting her the day we adopted them. They were adopted together due to their previous owners having to move and not being able to keep them. Bonnie was convinced we were going to steal her baby, so she kept sitting on her like this:

Willow was curious and wanted to make friends faster than Bonnie wanted, but Bonnie warmed up and finally stopped guarding so heavily. Part of her warming up included her adopting me, so uh... rat mom? She treats me like a baby rat. Mom, I'm a full grown Rat, thank you. Willow was ***fascinated*** sitting and watching Resident Evil 4. She sat through the whole game and any time a loud noise would happen she'd ZOOP back into a sleeve...then poke back out, ears perked and whiskers going. She did the same thing last christmas when we opened presents, so RE4 gets called "CHRISTMAS 4" in our house. also to the other ratty keepers out there, don't worry, the little cage is only a nursery/hospital cage and playtime cage, they lived in a giant critter nation with lots of friends. Anyway, I'm a little sad still so I wanted to share some cute photos and celebrate them instead. We're probably going to be looking around at the local breeders to see if anyone has any baby girls ready for adoption.

Buenos días Héctor.
My question is, has a person ever been confused thinking that Imelda is your mother, due to the fact that she is much older than you?
Tumblr media
Hector: "Oh, You see… It's very hard for such a thing to happen in the land of the dead! I mean, there are so many people who tragically lose their lives earlier than expected… So it's not uncommon to see couples who appear very different in age! In short, it's normal here, usually we tend to interact without assuming what the family ties are between the members of a specific family, so if you need to know, you always ask..."
"...BUT… It wasn't our case! Yep… Unfortunately it happened in a way! Our situation was very particular, Imelda has a large clientele and many people know her and consequently know all about our family… I had the "newcomer" period within the "shoe making" family-business and well… They all thought I was the nephew at first!"

Tumblr media
Imelda: "Hector, I'll take care of the clients! Please, place these in the shelf of the shoes to restore and polish!"
Hector: "Third shelf on the right! I got it! Consider it done!"
Customer: "Poor dear! The boy is so young! Is he your nephew right?"
Tumblr media
Imelda: "Ehmmm... No, actually, he's my husband... We haven't been together for a long time but......"
Customer: "Oh, Wait... What? Is that the man who abandoned you with a little girl to raise?!?!" 😠
Tumblr media
Imelda: "........ Si... I mean NO! It's a long story! Many things have changed now!" 😳
-
Hector: "Let's just say it was an embarrassing time!" 😅
-
My headcanon is that it must not have been easy for Hector in the early days! Some customers, especially the ladies friends of Imelda, were confused by this reconciliation...! 😅
