a/n: while I received so many amazing thots (I'm not even joking. I'm still cooking <3), there wasn't any for Ale at all, and it didn't feel right ☝🏼🤨 so consider this a ‘reve's asks’ for our shy!wife collection! don't forget to leave some sugar!
Tumblr media
Includes: pre-marriage (moved in together!), future mrs vargas is a little oblivious but that's okay, he loves her for it & tooth-rotting fluff!
COD x shy!wife thots closed! Thank you, everyone, for your time & amazing minds! I sincerely hope I can do this again with y'all soon! 💌
Come & check out my COD m.list!
“You're so cute!” 
You were at it again.
“You're a good boy,” Smooch smooch, “Yes, you are,” Smooch, “Our best boy,” Smooch, “The most distinguished gentleman in the world.” 
On most days, he would find it adorable. Seeing you bond with his fluffy pal despite the less-than-pleasant assumptions many have of the breed. But with the recent deployment lasting longer than usual, resulting in his return just yesterday, he was practically dying to have your attention.
But it seemed like Great Dane had the same plan, even though he got to spend time with you all the time. 
You had a knack of nuzzling Hernando’s fur, especially his stomach area, on days where you found him extremely irresistible (which was always, to be honest). The pooch barely minded the lipstick stains you would sometimes leave on his silky fur, only caring about your attention more than anything.
But sometimes, Alejandro thinks he was also acting cute for you just to spite him.
He revealed himself from behind the wall, smoothing out the front of his shirt as if he had just come down from upstairs. Hernando laid on his back, enjoying your unlimited belly rubs and head smooches.
Though he and Hernando pretty much were fighting for even an ounce of you, he'd be lying if he said seeing you, sweet little you, taming a giant beast with little to no problem.
Be it a Great Dane, who turns into a baby when you're around or a muscular colonel, who worships his beloved like his life depends on it.
“Oh, Ale,” You smiled, small and shy, slightly embarrassed at the thought of him overhearing you baby-talking yet again, “Ready to head out?” 
“Si,” He grinned, reaching for your hand for a sweet kiss before whispering against your temple, “You look beautiful as always, mi amor.” 
It should've been too early to feel the burn in your face. Hell, you should've expected it, especially when he has never missed a day to compliment you.
“Thank you,” You looked down for a moment, biting down the giddy smile before meeting his eyes, “You look very handsome.” 
“For you, amor, it would be a crime not to look my best.” He replied with zero hesitation, even puffing up his chest at your praise. He tried not to let his gaze linger, but oh, how impossible it was not to appreciate how your curves looked in your dress.
“Come,” He offered to hold the leash, partially to monopolize your attention as you walked, but just as you tried passing it to him, Hernando huffed. He sat on the floor as soon as it was in Alejandro's hand, seemingly persistent about not wanting to move when he was barking at the door just moments ago. He grumbled under his breath, knowing what the canine was trying to do, “Ay, dios mio.” 
He should've seen it coming.
The deadpan on his face softened as he heard you giggle, hiding your amusement behind your hand.
“It's okay, he's probably just grumpy that we're late.” You were supposed to take him to the park nearly half an hour ago if it weren't for Alejandro's sudden need to trap you against the wall for kisses when he saw you exited the bathroom in just a towel.
And just as he suspected, Hernando jumped to his paws the moment Alejandro returned the leash in your hands.
Typical.
Still, Alejandro was able to wrap his arm around you without his pal protesting, and he took advantage of it like no other.
If one thought getting mauled by a giant dog for making a lady uncomfortable was already scary, they'd have to think again.
Now, they'd have to worry about the same dog and his tall, dark and handsome… and intimidating owner.
But each time Alejandro managed to steal your attention for a few seconds longer, Hernando tugged at the leash. Not to the point of hurting you from the suddenness or worse, causing you to fall, but enough for the man to realize the little game he was playing at.
But for just a moment, Hernando seemed distracted by the birds near the pond.
You noticed, and Alejandro most certainly did, and to his gratefulness, you unhooked the leash from his collar. Patting his head, you said, “Go on, buddy.” 
Given the green light, he immediately zoomed towards the flock, his enormous size would scare the living shit out of a grown man, let alone some pigeons. 
You were about to ask Alejandro what the two of you should do while Hernando was going crazy on his own, he took you by surprise when he wrapped his arms around you before dipping you just a little. A stark resemblance to a cheesy scene in a romantic drama. 
The first thing you thought of doing as he embraced you was to cover your face with your hands. You were growing hot at the thought of the people, who were just trying to enjoy nature, seeing the passion your boyfriend was exhibiting in public. 
The softness in the way he spoke your name, despite his deep, gruff voice prompted you to pull your hands, away, albeit slowly. His eyes held adoration, and just a hint of jealousy, you realized. Whether or not he was concealing the rest of his enviousness was unknown, but his stare was… intense, to say the least.
With one arm around you and the other holding your hand, he leaned in and almost immediately, you closed your eyes, anticipating his lips on yours despite the possibility of being watched.
But the kiss never came. Not fully. You could feel his lips but it was nothing more than a feathery touch.
“Kiss me,” He whispered, “Kiss me, and I shall show you how much I yearn for you always.” 
Letting out a shaky sigh, you shyly closed the distance, only to gasp when he returned the kiss feverishly. Like a man starved, he held you against him like a lifeline as he shamelessly groaned in the kiss. 
But just as the passion clouded your mind, just as Alejandro was hoping to feel his lips against yours, you heard a bark.
And to your horror, Hernando was running towards the two of you at maximum speed.
Alejandro didn't waste any time, holding you to his chest while his back faced the Great Dane. Hernando body side-slammed into him, eliciting a grunt from Alejandro, followed by your squeal as your bodies tipped. 
Alejandro was quick to turn amid the fall, being the first to hit the grass while he became your cushion. 
You face planted into his chest, but it beats facing the same fate on the ground instead.
“Amor? Amor, are you okay?” He may have bore the brunt of it, but that didn't mean his worries were dispelled just yet. 
You could've gotten seriously hurt! 
Hernando had left the crime scene at this point, opting to play with the other dogs in the area, but Alejandro liked to think his buddy knew he was in trouble.
“I'm okay…” You raised your head with a tiny ‘ow’, only to begin fretting about falling on him. Thankfully, he laughed, a hearty one, the kind that you couldn't resist smiling at.
“I'm fine, don't worry,” Alejandro turned his head to the right, prompting you to follow his line of gaze. Hernando was having fun with a Pug and even an orange cat. One wouldn't have guessed he was the culprit of you and Alejandro's current state, “I guess he really is mad about us being late.” 
You traced your fingers along his chest, “That's your fault.” 
“Oh? I don't think you were very innocent either.” He teased back, not bothering to move his hands that were resting on your back, “But can you blame me? I can't let ‘Nando take up all of your attention, now that I'm back.”
“He's just feeling playful, now that you're back.” 
“More like a pain in the ass,” He mumbled, only to let out a painless ‘oof’ when you smacked his chest with an ‘Ale!’. He grinned, showing off his pearly whites as a way to say he was not sorry before gripping you tighter for a bear hug, “Come here!” 
He paid your squeaks and whines no mind, just content to be the one kissing you and making you laugh at that moment.
And though he'd have a little word with Hernando about nearly getting you hurt, he'd also like to say one thing.
“Thanks, hermano.”

Interlude
Would you like some celebrity AU in these trying times? Have some nonsense; don't worry about Eli, he's an OC, it's fine.
*
“Finally tonight, my producers won’t let me end the show without discussing the most compelling story in the nation, a tale of intergenerational drama which begs the question: which speaks to you most? Do you like a redemption arc, recognition coming after decades of struggle? Or a reward for raw, young talent the likes of which has never before been seen? These questions will possibly be answered Sunday night, when the Emmy Awards give a trophy to…a Best Supporting Actor in a Drama.
“On the one hand you have Bruno Madrigal, whose offscreen exploits have overshadowed his work for decades. In recent years, however, he’s become beloved by children as the voice of Hernando the Crab in the animated Shore Thing film series and attracted critical acclaim in indie films such as The Collaboration and onstage in an off-Broadway revival of Endgame. Now he’s nominated for his role as Oscar Ramos, a pedicab driver with a secret in AMC’s thriller Upper West. 
“Then there’s his nephew, Camilo Madrigal, who has veered away from the music careers of his mother and sister to follow - cautiously, we hope - in his uncle’s acting footsteps. He has more than a knack for it, given his star turn as nine different characters…or maybe it’s the same one in different phases, who knows what’s happening on Max’s scifi-horror hit Idle Hands? My nephew’s tried to explain it several times, but I’ve given up figuring it out.
“So, where do you fall: Team Camilo, or Team Bruno? Personally I think we as a society should have moved past these hashtag labels a long time ago, but if I were a betting man? I’d say the Madrigals are going to split the voters and we’ll get the winner we deserve, the venerable J.K. Simmons.
“That’s it for me this evening, stay tuned for the latest headlines on ‘Nightbeat’, and I’ll see you back here bright and early Sunday morning for ‘Mas with Guzmán’. Buenos noches.”
The news program theme music played, and Bruno would have continued mindlessly playing Candy Crush on his phone but-
“You know there’s a rumor you slept with that guy.”
Bruno glanced to his right. Eli was slumped the corner of the couch, smirking, light brown hair tousled and hazel eyes glancing his way with a mischievous twinkle. Bruno scowled.
“You don’t- that’s ridiculous. I can’t help it if people think we had chemistry or there were ‘sparks flying’ in that interview or whatever, but it’s all…fanflick?”
Eli laughed and gently kicked his shin, he retaliated by pinching his knee. “Fanfic, boomer.”
“Everybody really does forget about Gen X,” Bruno muttered, then shook his head. “Anyway. The point is I can’t believe people still think Pulitzer prize winning reporter José Guzmán would risk his journalistic integrity by hooking up with me.”
“Depends.” Eli straightened up to lean closer, waggling his eyebrows. “Is ‘journalistic integrity’ what he calls his-”
“Guys! I’m still right here!” 
They both cringed and glanced over the back of the sofa towards the kitchen, where Mirabel had taken over the island in a flurry of embroidery floss. She’d swiveled around on the barstool to give them a glare, but a smile still tugged at the corner of her mouth.
“Sorry.”
“Sorry, Mira.”
She nodded, satisfied. “Thank you.” A moment or two slipped by, a perfect pause, before she went on. “But you totally did hook up with him, right?”
Bruno blinked, turned back to the TV, and picked up the remote. “I am changing the channel. It’s a metaphor for changing the subject.”
Shortly after that Mirabel presented him with a baseball cap emblazoned with “#TeamCamilo”, and a black necktie which she’d decorated with symbols representing all of the Madrigal family…and a blue, pink, and white striped heart for Eli. Bruno happily wore both on the Emmys red carpet two nights later.
*
A/N: he did totally hook up with him. Celebverse!José is basically Anderson Cooper. Yes he does get stuck doing New Year's Eve with Andy Cohen still, it's fine. As for who wins the Emmy, it's been almost two years and I am still not sure.

did i grow up according to plan?
LOCATION: Mikayla Beaumont's home MENTIONED: @elliottortegax @nikodimopoulos @hernando-valdez
It had been weeks since the news of Hernando's connection to Los Santos had gone public and the man in question had gone dark. There wasn't a day that had passed since then where she hadn't worried about him, but she had work and class to think about and couldn't completely abandon her responsibilities. In between those, though, she found herself spending more time with Niko, finding solace in his comforting presence and reassurances that Nando would be alright. Penny had spent more time at the B&B and if Mikayla hadn't known better, she would've thought her mother was avoiding her.
Saturday came and Mikayla finally pulled herself away from Niko's apartment, heading home just before lunchtime so she could get a few things done before work later that night. She hadn't expected her mother to be in the kitchen with a serious look on her face, and dread settled into the young woman's stomach.
"What is it?" she asked. "Have you heard from tio?"
Penelope shook her head, lips turning down in a frown. "Not yet, but I need to talk to you about something."
Mikayla took in her mother's face for a few silent moments, trying to judge what emotions she should expect, but it was a mask with no discernible feeling on display. She pulled out one of the stools at the kitchen island and took a seat, steeling herself.
An uncomfortable silence settled over the room, the weight of everything left unsaid over decades bearing down on Penny's shoulders. This was a conversation she knew she'd have to have some day, but she had always feared her daughter's response to it. There had been opportunities over the years, times when Mikayla would ask questions about who her father was or how Penny had met him, but she'd always revealed the bare minimum in an effort to spare herself from reliving the trauma of finding out she'd been pregnant -- of being torn away from everything and nearly everyone she knew and loved -- but doing that wasn't fair to Mikayla or Elliott, something he'd so graciously reminded her of when she'd given him the news.
"Before we start," she said, voice barely above a whisper, "I need to ask for your forgiveness."
"Forgiveness?" Mikayla repeated, brows knitted in confusion. "Why would you need that?"
"Because I've been keeping something from you." Penny pulled her gaze away from the counter and looked at her daughter. "It's about your father."
Mikayla sat up straighter in her seat, curiosity piqued. A part of her had wondered if the woman had never revealed her paternity to her because the nature of her conception wasn't born out of a loving relationship, but she respected her mother too much to go behind her back to investigate on her own. She nodded once, a silent plea for Penny to continue.
Her mother took in a deep breath and let it out slowly before continuing. "Elliott and I were best friends as kids. We did everything together, with your uncle Devon and our friend Nellie. Basically inseparable. But something changed when we got to high school... and we began to see each other without our parents knowing. Mine didn't approve of him or his family, so I had to keep the relationship a secret, which was easy enough until... until I found out I was pregnant with you." She shook her head some. "I was so scared, I didn't know what to do. Before I had a chance to tell anyone, they found the test in the trash. They were furious, especially when they found out who the father was, and before I knew it, we were moving across the country. I had no way to reach out to him once we were there. They monitored all of my phone time, and I couldn't send him a letter or anything. At one point, it became easier to forget instead of break my heart over and over again with the hope we'd be reunited someday."
The longer she spoke, the more tension fused into Mikayla's bones. "You've... known who he was this whole time?"
Penny nodded slowly, the fear of Mikayla's reaction growing alongside her daughter's emotions.
"Did he know about me?"
Penny nodded again, but added on quickly, "I left him a note before we left to tell him I was pregnant, but it was the only information I could give to him. If he ever discovered who you are outside of that, I don't know."
Mikayla took in a few deep breaths, trying to keep herself calm. "Why are you telling me now?"
"Because he's here. In Tonopah," she said. "And he wants to meet you."
In that moment, Mikayla's world flipped upside down. Not only had Penny kept his identity a secret from her throughout her entire life, but she had also failed to mention that he was somewhere in the town Mikayla had called home for the past three years. Had she seen him around town? Had they occupied the same space and had no idea that they were extensions of each other?
"How long has he been here?" Mikayla's voice was quiet, and Penny had to strain to hear her question, the one she'd been the most afraid of answering.
"He... he never left." She swallowed around a lump in her throat. "He's always lived here."
She was quiet. "Did you know that when I said I was coming here?"
"No, conejita," she responded quickly, walking around the island to wrap her daughter in a reassuring embrace, but Mikayla pulled away before she could, standing from her seat. "I swear I had no idea he never left. He ran a chain of hotels around the country, so I assumed h--"
"So you must've looked into him at some point if you know that. Did you ever try to reach out?" she asked, her voice rising with every new question.
Penny, trying not to show the hurt on her face, shook her head once more.
"He could have helped us, mami. When you got sick. H-he could have-- do you have any idea what I've done for yo--" Mikayla stopped herself, hand covering her mouth as the rush of hot tears that had been rising to the surface finally bubbled over and raced down her cheeks. She turned away from Penny, inhaling a shaking breath and forcing herself to be steady.
Penny had never put the responsibility of her care onto Mikayla's shoulders and never would have asked her to go to the extremes that she had done in order for her to receive the best care possible. She should have seen the signs, though: the long hours of 'studying' at a friend's house and coming home in the wee hours of the morning, the night terrors that kept her awake at night for fear she'd never be able to escape the next one, the sheer amount of money a barely legal teenager was bringing home at the end of every week. It would break her mother's heart to learn the truth about where all the money had come from, and Mikayla knew in her mind it wasn't fair to hold the choices she had made against her, but she mourned the life she could've had if Penny had just picked up the phone to call him and ask for help. She was the mother; she was supposed to be the one protecting Mikayla, not the other way around.
"M'ija," Penelope pleaded, placing her hand onto Mikayla's shoulder. Mikayla shrugged it off.
"Don't," she choked out, sniffling. "You should have told me sooner." She turned towards Penny, a harsh glare hidden amongst the pain in her eyes. "I gave up my childhood and put my life on hold for over a decade because you let your pride get in the way of asking for help. I don't know if I can forgive you for that."
Mikayla had never seen this look on her mother's face before, but it was unmistakable: heartbreak.
Any other time, for any other grievance she may have carried, she would have wrapped her mother up in her arms and apologized in that moment, but there was no way for her to moved past that feeling of betrayal that came with the knowledge she never would have had to go through everything she had if her father had just been allowed to be a part of her life.
"I don't want to be near you right now, so I'm going to stay with a friend for a few days." She walked past her mother towards the stairs. Thankfully, she didn't follow.

How/Why were Alicent and Rhaenyra ever even long-lasting friends to begin with?
How did these girls get together and become close with their personalities actually opposing the other so hard?
At that age, people are less tolerant or willing to hang out with each other without some sort of common habits, interests, or ideas and attitudes or some sort of knowledge of a shared trouble. And for the last, this has to be supported again and again by both individuals's burgeoning understanding of how deep this burden(s) goes for them both and how they come up with countermeasures or solutions together.
For Rhaenyra and Alicent, there needed to be some sort of outside force forcing them together for them to tolerate or just be convinced to share time together. (Writing about Viserys and Otto way below)
Alicent was what more impatient observers would call a "goody-two shoes" whose hobbies were mainly reading and praying, while Rhaenyra was definitely the more adventurous of them (who didn't seem to mind reading but just disliked that the same material was repeated and used to teach girls specific repressive conduct. Yes, even at the young ages below 10, people sense and know repressiveness.)
A) The Opposites Attract Trope
Usually, in the "opposites attract" pattern, a relationship tends to have the persons contrast each other so that:
through each other, they find out things about themselves that they didn't think was there or possible to develop
we/they focus on how the differences make them see each other and the world, through new perspectives
each person compensates for the other's fears and/or weaknesses with their own strengths
they want the same thing (have similar goal(s)) but approach completing or obtaining their shared goal(s) differently with different--maybe with opposing methods because they sincerely believe theirs is the best way to do make any headway and they bicker because of it, often creating friction but still manage to work together or find some common ground to stay together at some point and often several times without negatively compromising themselves
Let us think of Coraline and Why-Be against the the Beldam, all the Teen Titans crew member against Starfire’s family in her own arranged marriage, the two male protagonists of the Indian film RRR that I forget the names of against the British military encampment in India/British imperialism, the Lenore and Annabel Lee (who actually develop a romance from the goal of understanding what’s happening to them) of the webtoon Nevermore. Lito and Hernando of Sense8.
All of these people are very different from each other, sometimes even having traits, experiences, or beliefs that at first glance seem to be reasons why they actually would dislike each other or try to stay apart. But the respective writers all managed to show us why they even care about each other through how they all contribute to the others’ self confidence or act in different scenarios that threaten to overwhelm one/some. In specific events where they are forced to see what troubles they both face or how they are alike or what they share in one or a few aspects.
Examples:
escape or resist mistreatment/abuse/oppression/neglect of any and all forms
trying to get the respect or acknowledgement of their peers
understand how difficult it can be to try to protect others while protecting themselves (older siblings in abusive households)
live up to their parents'/authority figures' expectations
to prove that they can do exceptional, culture-moving things on their own
trying to understand their own identity under the pressure of poverty, oppression, abuse, etc.
The very differences in methods or responsibilities often threaten to separate the group/pair in an opposites attract situation and thus there is the risk of the individual/persons doing something unforgiveable or developing too far away from the other(s), never again being able to be in real harmony or stay friends again. 
B) Rhaenyra and Alicent--Opposites Attract
What is attractive to Rhaenyra (even platonically) about Alicent? Isn't Rhaenyra too unruly and troublemaking for Alicent? Where did Alicent look at Rhaenyra and feel that she wanted to be like her and resist the pressures of her dad and society? What does Rhaenyra see in Alicent that makes her feel stronger and adds to her belief that she can and should resist against societal pressures?
If we argued that it's because they felt an attraction that would later blossom into romance....even then there has to be some sort of reason why they would be attracted to each other. And the show doesn't give anything substantial to prove this. No scene of them together as small children.
Alicent is unwilling to ride with Rhaenyra on Syrax at any moment. Okay, how do the writers make up for this? Rhaenyra doesn’t want to sit around just reading about things they went over hundreds of times and stay at one place when feeling contained. How do the writers make up for this? 
Where do these girls meet? When and where do we see Alicent and Rhaenyra realize something they want to accomplish together? Or at the very least endure societal pressures and specific agents of societal pressure (septas and the errant courtier or other noble girls snarking at them) together and with each other?  The first and obvious big bad for these young, unmarried friends was society and patriarchy and the figures like the septa who demand conformity and obedience.
How does Rhaenyra protect Alicent from Otto? What does Alicent think about Daemon? (All in their unmarried youth because after what happens in episodes 2 onwards, it’s way too late and impossible to truly be friends again.) Where are their many shown inner struggles way before Rhaenyra gets named heir and Alicent is pushed to marry Viserys?
(Why do I need to be the one making up whole-ass scenarios not suggested or present in the show to justify their relationship? That's the writers’ job.)
Why should I care about Rhaenyra and Alicent or believe in their friendship? What about their relationship or the prospect of it is convincing me that it could ever survive what Alicent believes Rhaenyra did to her and what Alicent did to Rhaenyra? 
C) Rhaenyra and Alicent--After They Marry
But please explain to me how any real mother or father or parent would forgive and want to be close to Alicent after years of trying to get your kids killed by revealing their illegitimacy? Whether or not they are not legitimate, they are your kids and if you are a caring parent, I imagine that this would destroy any good feeling left for your “friend”.
Rhaenyra has also endured Alicent trying to end her for years, trying to get Viserys to condemn Rhaenyra and remove her from the heir position/prevent her from becoming the ruler after (assumedly) years of Rhaenyra telling Alicent how she wants to be in Viserys’ trust. Alicent tried to depose Rhaenyra, whether or not she was doing the right thing in her own eyes or not. If someone tried to prevent you from getting a promotion because they think you would hurt them somehow.....are they your friend and would you want to be? Would you not doubt how they ever could have been your friend?
And what about Alicent? She thinks that Rhaenyra would definitely kill her kids when she ascends, that Rhaenyra would bow under the pressures from the other lords and kill them. She believes that Rhaenyra having illegitimate kids is amoral in of itself, that her going out and purposely “ruining“ herself is amoral and has grown a strong resentment against her for trying to have sex outside of the feudal restrictions on her body that Alicent has chosen to follow. She puts enough credit to the idea that Rhaenyra could be willing to let others make huge decisions for her for someone that Rhaenyra -- that point when Otto is criticizing Alicent -- had even begin to reconcile and who Alicent thought was victimized by Daemon (episodes 4 & 5). That Alicent actually believes any of this of Rhaenyra goes to show that she doesn't really feel like she knows her nor has ever really known her. 
Yet I am supposed to believe that they were ever close?! 
Or that Alicent is a benevolent figure only looking out for Rhaenyra as some people will claim?
These are things that Alicent forces herself to really believe in so she can conform and be obedient. The woman has proven to believe that obedience matters more than friendship. Yet she’s all of a sudden willing to take Rhaenyra as her friend in episode 8, only after an apology from her for not recognizing how hard Alicent worked to keep Viserys comfortable and be a “good wife”? That was itself after Viserys demanded they make up? 
That this beginning to a reconciliation was only possible since it is about Viserys?
That apology could have been seen as Rhaenyra trying to keep in good graces with Viserys and evade any more shit from Alicent from the POV of this Alicent. Why wouldn't  Alicent see it that way, after seeing Rhaenyra as just trying to stave her off with Jaecaerys and Helaena's marriage? Because Rhaenyra apologized to her? 
Isn't this narcissistic of her: nevermind that she may try to kill or marry my kids to bastards (she believes in the reality of dirty blood, not me), she apologized to me!!! 
At the very least it is inconsistent.
As for Rhaenyra, Viserys’ condition is not (or should not be) the only thing that she -- as an individual and a mother -- cares about. She can have sympathy for her father and want to see him safe and happy while still keeping in mind what she needs to do for herself and her kids against a threat. Not compromising her children. Alicent, as well.
And I have to point out that Rhaenyra was willing to be friendlier in episode 4 when they talked in the garden after Alicent was the one to approach her to talk. Yet afterwards, Alicent approaches Rhaenyra in an accusatory manner -- set against her due to her belief in feudal female chastity and her own envy at Rhaenyra being able to find some way to find what little agency she can have. No thanks to society and Viserys, her own father.
Ryan Condal has gone on to say that their kids are messing up the “peace” that “everyone” was working towards for a long time. Who is “everyone”? If Viserys, he and Viserys both underestimate how unforgiveable the attacks (perceived and believed) are. And Rhaenyra has been trying to get Alicent off her back not for any mere feeling to reconcile or a wish to be close again, but for survival. Alicent has been the living embodiment of "I don't want peace. I want problems, always! “ for 10 years.
The kids, realistically and going by the timeline, don’t have to do anything for their parents to hate each other and fight.
The stakes are lives and the throne itself, not a friendship!
Where is there ever a chance that these two would ever be friends again? This is just absurd, insulting, and benevolent sexism on the writers/showrunners’ end.
On the one hand these two are supposedly so close that people write of how Alicent tries to look out for Rhaenyra and knows her....yet she is very quick to believe that Rhaenyra is amoral/would be and to let her father work against her. What about all their time and love spent together before Aemma dies that we don't even get to see but are told exist?
How does Alicent throw that all away, is what we should be asking ourselves. Is it just bad writing, sexism and a severe misunderstanding of narrative feminism on the writer's parts, or is it that these characters were never, ever close or understood each other from the very beginning?! Because, once again, there is absolutely no context and nothing to show for their emotional bond other than them touching each other here and there. There was no situation where we saw their relationship progress, change, grow and develop...so can we really be confident that it exists when Alicent so easily turns?
Tumblr media
D) Speculating (But Not Really Because I Know Why)
The only thing that I thought of to “justify” this pre-marriages relationship is that they both had dead moms....oh wait, Rhaenyra's mom died much later after these two became friends!
But we only get a scene that could really shows how the may begin to be close after Aemma dies, when Alicent gets Rhaenyra to pray with her. And even then, that moment was more about Alicent and Alicent more guiding Rhaenyra like a septa or some authority figure, some saint, then a friend, rather than them coming together or realizing things together, etc (episode 2):
Rhaenyra: It's only been half a year since my mother died, and already they tried to marry my father off and replace me as heir. I know those men and how they plot in their secret councils when I've been sent away. 
Alicent: You cannot worry at the matters of lords and kings, Rhaenyra. What if your father were to remarry? Your father loves you. He chose you for his heir. 
Rhaenyra: He didn't choose me. He spurns Daemon. 
Alicent: Kneel with me. I find this is a way to be with my mother. Here in the quiet of the Sept, I feel close to her. I know it sounds foolish. 
Rhaenyra: I don't think it's foolish. I don't. 
Alicent: Good. Because I thought you might try. If not for me, then, perhaps for them.
Rhaenyra: What do I say? 
Alicent: Whatever you wish. It's only for you and the gods to know. 
Rhaenyra: I want him to see me as more than his little girl.
Alicent: Mine own father does not know the language of girls either. When I wish to talk with him, I know that I must make the effort.
Alicent’s last line here is particularly atrocious. “I/Rhaenyra must make the effort?”
As if Rhaenyra is the on who should build bridges? Not Viserys? Why the emphasis on Rhaenyra having to appeal to Viserys, and not how Viserys' actions are unfair and contradictory? What are people congratulating Alicent for making Rhaenyra "focus" on how her gender invites her to appeal to Viserys, to obey, not not "Rhaenyra, your gender would be used as pretext for obedience, so use it against them"? That Alicent doesn't at least commiserate on this point means she herself has internalized misogyny too much l, and her advice now is flawed, not wise.
As if Alicent doesn’t steer away from the topic of Viserys not seeing Rhaenyra as a real, autonomus and worthy option is about mothers.
Or that Alicent is trying to avoid confronting the fact that her own father is pushing her to become a conflict of interest to Rhaenyra and endanger the very same inheritance?!
Excuse me.....how are they friends?! How does Rhaenyra not see this all as condescending, even a little? No, it’s “Thank you”. And she doesn’t worship nor believe in the Seven, so how does Alicent just now try to force her into praying when she had more than 10 years of their supposed friendship to know this isn’t helpful...and why would Rhaenyra, experiencing that unshown (nonexistent) scene of Alicent trying to get Rhaenyra to assimilate into Seven worship, then acquiese? 
How does this scene come across as them being close?!
And even if Aemma died much earlier--before episode 1--and they bonded over that, there has to be specific moments where we see these girls process and realize what their mothers’ deaths mean in the context of their living where they are and who they are or want and want to become, what they face by large and from individuals like the only-mentioned septa of episode 1. We have to see the moments where they realize that they share specific ideas and feelings about their moms, and not just assume that they are there because we watch these girls be intimate.
Now it feels like it's just because they are in the closest proximity with Otto being Viserys' Hand and working close to him. But kids don't become friends just because their parents work close together or are friends themselves.
(Ahem, Arya and Joffrey.) There was no hope there even without Mycah’s death and "execution". And Sansa didn't want to be friends with Joffrey. She wanted to impress him because she acknowledge his status as him being able to treat people of lower class as beneath him. That's not real respect, on either side. It's ego and wanting to materially benefit from an association (Sansa) or feel powerful (Joffrey).
So we go back to the only possibility where R and A became friends much earlier on, but there's no reason why they would and there's no scene to show how the writers imagine it happening.
Honestly, I wish this friendship never happened because what’s shown to us doesn’t make any sense. We don’t feel that Alicent betrayed Rhaenyra, like how the soiled friendship between opposites would thematically demand. But no, the writers think it is more "complex" to make Rhaenyra justifiably lie when it's actually making Alicent look like Rhaenyra's helpless victim with little of her own accountability.
What made more sense is the canon relationship between Laena and Rhaenyra, and that is never a thing in the show. Show!/Book!Laena are both a lot more like Show!/Book!Rhaenyra than Show!/Book!Alicent ever was, at least by personality alone. She has the daring to approach and claim Vhagar at age 12, which suggests a stronger claim of adventurousness in her that matches Rhaenyra’s.
And why aren't they ever a thing in the show despite being available and more sensible? Because the writers are making a fanfic to express how the separation of RxA, two female "friends", come to be because it's all the fault of the !evil! men who always will have more power, soft or hard or interpersonal, over them.
LaenaxRhaenyra doesn't serve this purpose to them and would give too much of a rich characterization, source of emotional comfort, or agency either to Laena or Rhaenyra.
I love that they were trying to make a point of non-politically-motivated, peace-desiring women manipulated by men and losing critical female friendships, emotional support, or agency...and yet removed the canon source of real female friendship and origin of the realest love and community Rhaenyra had.

So I thought of an au where the madrigal grandchildren got temporary look-alikes to protect them from Alma and the village.
These look-alikes are the "done with the bs" version of the madrigal grandchildren and children. I can't decide the timeline, the look-alikes either came out post-movie or after Casita fell.
Mirabel's "twin" is named Bel
Dolores's "twin" is named Lolo
Isabela's "twin" is named Bela
Luisa's "twin" is named Lulu
Camilo's "twin" is named Milo(or Carlos, I haven't decided)
Bruno's "twin brothers" are named Hernando and Jorge
Pepa's "twin" is named Pepi or Pep
Julieta's "twin" is named Julie
Antonio's "twin" is named tonito
The husbands don't know what to do at this point in life.
The only way you can tell them apart is by their constant scowls/glares, darker colors, and messier/ripped-up clothes. They kind of look like the "evil" version of Bruno but still themselves.
Bel for example:
Normal side
Tumblr media
Scary version
Tumblr media
They got fangs, slightly pale skin, a 7-foot frame, and claws. They only show their claws, and fangs, and enhance their height when they're extremely angry(which is often)
When they aren't cussing villagers(or alma) out they usually just hang around their OG counterparts and are shockingly calmer and nicer. They don't force their OG counterparts to relax but they don't let them work either.
Pepi encourages Pepa's storms
"stop hiding your emotions, let them be big, let them be PROUD"
Milo doesn't let Camilo transform or babysit unless he truly wants to.
"just be yourself hermano, if they don't like it, f*ck em"
Lolo doesn't allow Dolores to listen in on gossip anymore and they both will spend their day reading or gushing about Mariano.
"stop invading other people's privacy it's rude and disrespectful...let's go see Mariano instead"
*lolo yanks Dolores to Mariano's house*
Bela let Isabela be wild, no more senorita perfecta
"YES, Mora cactuses, more carnivorous flowers, more colors, NO MORE SENORITA PERFECTA". Oh yeah, Bela called off the proposal
Lulu doesn't let Luisa lift anything that's even remotely heavy
"Sit here" Lulu points down at the peaceful grassy meadow
"ok" Luisa sits down
"I don't want you lifting anything for the rest of the day...now relax"
Julie doesn't let Julieta cook for the village anymore
"those people have never done anything for you except eat your food, NO MORE"
Bel constantly reminds Mirabel of her worth,
"you are more special without a gift Hermana and you need to see that, all you did was try, but did alma see it? no. Did anyone else besides your parents see it? no. You are strong Mirabel, don't you ever forget it"
Tonito isn't really angry but if Alma or anyone tries to make Antonio do any work he'll snap at them, otherwise he's just as sweet as Antonio.
"I don't want you around him, you're a meanie, DON'T make me repeat myself" *death stare*
With Hernando and Jorge...you better not even look at Brno wrong let alone say something wrong
"is that guy staring at you?" Jorge asks Bruno while looking at whoever's looking at them straight in the eye
"oh no guys please don't do this" Bruno already knows what's about to happen
"Do they have a problem?" Hernando starts to puff out his chest and gives the person the death stare
"I think he has a problem" Jorge replies
"let's give him a problem then" Hernando adds while marching up to the person, fully showing himself.
The look-alikes can be invisible when they please but it's kind of a rare occasion, they only are invisible when they don't feel like interacting with people.
Like I said before, when they aren't threatening people they are usually just protective and angry older siblings.
The madrigal husbands, Alma, and the village during these events
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I call it the protectors au
Me. I wouldn’t need one cause I personally wouldn’t let nobody talk to me any kind of way. But regardless, this is still cool‼️‼️ Ngl, if I saw any of them mfs I would. Not interact with them tbh. Call me a coward but I’d be scared out of my mind 💀
Mfs are always scowling. Husbands are confused asfffffff 😭

My media this week (28 Aug-3 Sep 2022)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
📚 STUFF I READ 📚
🥰 Batnesia (Qui) - SuperBat, 60K - Bruce gets amnesia, forgets he's Batman, thinks Clark is his boyfriend, all the BatKids go along with it, hilarious but emotional shenanigans ensue + bonus Clark having to pretend to be Batman
🥰👂‍ Dead Man's Folly (Hercule Poirot #35) (Agatha Christie, author; David Suchet, narrator) - look I just love any of the books with AC's self-insert, Ariadne Oliver [but ngl DS' narration is not my fave!]
😍 Fallout (Whisper91) - Kingsman: Merlin/Harry/Eggsy, 164K - really excellent D/s universe, excellent Roxy & Eggsy BFFs, really good OCs as well
😊👂‍ The Clocks (Hercule Poirot #39) (Agatha Christie, author; Hugh Fraser, narrator) - I personally respect the balance AC tried to find as HP was aging so most of the leg work is done by newer, younger characters and the problem-solving is up to HP; still one of the weaker plots tho
😍👂‍ A Gentleman Never Keeps Score (Seducing the Sedgwicks #2) (Cat Sebastian, author; Joel Leslie, narrator) - takes a lot of courage to write a traumatized, touch-averse capital-R-Romance protagonist and a lot of skill to do it well and CS excels. Shout out to her solid research on historically accurate glass dildos!
💖💖 +249K of shorter fic so shout out to these I really loved 💖💖
something better than before (napricot) - Sense8: technically Lito/Hernando/Daniela but it's not a romance-focused story, 7.9K - amazing fic about Lito giving birth to a new senstate cluster: great character voices, Lito is exactly the kind of parent you'd expect (bless), Hernando & Daniela are along for the ride, the OCs from the new cluster are fully realized even in so few words. Absolutely perfect fic.
📺 STUFF I WATCHED 📺
Death On The Nile (1978) - incredible costumes. all around excellent performances but special shout out to Angela Lansbury playing an alcoholic erotica writer, Bette Davis & Maggie Smith as vicious lesbians and, honestly, Mia Farrow was the perfect Jackie.
Harley Quinn - s3, e8 - love to showcase how fucked up in the head Bruce Wayne is! and now there's zombies.
What We Do In The Shadows - s4, e9 - what the actual fuck, Nandor?!
Evil Under The Sun (1982) - more incredible costumes. more excellent performances, esp Diana Rigg and Maggie Smith being absolute cats at one another.

Sumter County Waste Management Provider Hook Company Offers Residential Trash Pickup Services
Hook Company, based in Florida, is pleased to inform the residents and business owners of Sumter County Florida that its trash pickup service is available for all customers in the area. The company guarantees easy bookings and hassle-free, timely pickup. Customers can always contact the Hook Company team for more assistance if they so wish. Notably, they are considered the top waste disposal provider in the county, and interested parties are encouraged to visit the company website or contact the team directly to learn more about services and pricing for Sumter County waste management services. The company considers it its foremost priority to keep its customers happy, so special accommodations can often be made to ensure a property is being serviced according to its needs, such as when a client needs immediate junk hauling services to support a foreclosure or hoarding cleanout. Hook Company encourages customers to make their wishes known when they first get in touch with one of the company’s helpful representatives. The company offers Sumter County garbage pickup on a regular basis for residents and commercial entities, one-time garbage disposal for short-term cleanouts or projects, junk cleaning and hauling, renovation waste removal, construction debris removal, appliance hauling, and other services. The company holds a reputation for offering excellent services at cost-effective and competitive pricing. The service area includes Citrus County, including Floral City, Inverness Highlands North, Inverness Highlands South, Inverness, and Hernando, as well as Sumter County, including Bushnell, Center Hill, Lake Panasoffkee, Webster, and Sumterville. Those interested in the company's services who live outside of the listed region are encouraged to contact the company directly to see if special accommodations can be arranged. The company also offers special rates for "snow birds" who are in the area partially throughout the year. Brad S. has high praise to share about the company’s work ethic as well as their approach to customer service in his Google review. The happy customer said, “This company is top notch. Sometimes (especially with this Covid thing) money gets tight and bills are tough to pay. They have always been awesome about us making our payments a few days late without losing service. Also, their guys go the extra mile, like forgetting that it's trash day and running garbage out at the last minute. Unlike other companies that would simply pull away if the trash wasn't completely out, these guys are always willing to help out or wait a few minutes to help with our procrastination! On top of all that, they are very affordable (around 22 bucks a month billed every 3 months) for 2 large cans (my own) but they also offer can rentals if you need one too. A+++. Would never go anywhere else.” Kim M. also says, “Justin went out of his way over the holidays to make sure our garbage was picked up. The truck couldn't get down our road due to the tree trimming. He met us on a day that is not scheduled for pickup. Great service and great employees. Thank you.” Hook Company specializes in waste collection that residents can depend on to keep their curbs, streets, and neighborhoods clean, and working with this company virtually guarantees that customers will never have to see trash idling beyond the expected pickup time. All waste is disposed of responsibly, in accordance with all city, county, and state regulations, in an effort to prioritize eco-friendly and sustainable practices. The company can be reached via social media, phone, or its state-of-the-art website for more information on how to get on its schedule today. from https://www.pressadvantage.com/story/53064-sumter-county-waste-management-provider-hook-company-offers-residential-trash-pickup-services

I'd just like to say, if you can you should absolutely watch Encanto dubbed in other languages. I can now confidently assure you if you love Bruno, you will not be disappointed! He's just universally lovable!
Also Hernando is hilarious in some of the dubs, the way each voice actor has chosen a different voice to make him just, weird! And all the translations for "knock, knock, knock on wood"!
Very fun experience, can't recommend enough! Italian, Finnish and Korean were some of my faves but tbh they were all great

Three years ago today on June 12th, 2016, we watched in horror, as the news broke of the horrific tragedy in Orlando, at a gay nightclub, that had been hosting Latin night that evening.
The body count kept rising. We heard about the cellphones ringing in the pockets of those who would never answer them again.
The Facebook status that Pulse Orlando posted during the massacre still gives me the chills : "Everyone get out of pulse and keep running"
49 people were killed (technically 50, if we include the shooter, which #sorrynotsorry, I don't) and 53 were wounded at the Pulse Nightclub.
Since then countless mass shootings have taken place. I wish I could say we’ve done the victims justice by changing our laws and having more gun regulations, but that simply isn’t true. As a society we’ve become so numb to tragedy. It’s not always a conscious decision to become numb, it’s only human to try and protect yourself from tragedy and chaos. You can however, make the decision to pay attention and care.
49 people will never tell their friends and family how much they love them again, 49 people will never get to celebrate another holiday, 49 people will never be able to go to a gay club and dance again. It’s hard to imagine just how big the impact of something like the Pulse shooting has, but without a doubt it has changed thousands of peoples lives.
These victims deserve so much more. When we take a stand and make our voice heard, we are standing up for these 49 and the countless others who have tragically joined them in the past three years.
They deserve to be remembered:

As we remember those taken from us, take the time to reflect on how the inaction from our elected officials has led to the tragedies we have seen all too often. Reflect on the truth that black lives matter, that shootings in schools, and other places have got to stop, and how a lack of love for each other can lead to a tragedy that stains our communities deeply with that expressed hate.
It's been three years since the Pulse shooting. Since then, gun violence and violence against LGBTQ+ folks has only escalated. In this time of remembrance and grieving we must reach out to each other and show love and compassion.
Do not forget this
Don't let this take away pride from you
Don't let this scare you into hiding
Be careful and be safe
But don't stop existing
Dont stop vocalizing
Defy this shit and the people who spread hatred by being who you are
They cant silence us!

So I finally watched Encanto a little late to the party I know and now I can't stop thinking about post-movie Bruno who is just. Really Weird. He slowly becomes a part of his family and community again but 10 years of living in the walls with no human contact and very little sunlight really Does Something To Ya and that doesn't go away overnight.
He's spent the past 10 years mostly talking to himself and to rats, so his conversational skills are a bit...odd. He swings between visibly anxious and kinda freaked out while talking to being very flat and abrupt. He gets better over time, but never quite gets back to where he used to be
Speaking of the rats, those little buddies are his Friends and this does Not Change
After living in such a confined space for so long, he sometimes gets really freaked out if he's outside too long
He's so used to having to sneak around in shadows any time he was outside of the walls that he just. Keeps doing that by habit now, which is unintentionally Very Creepy sometimes
He 100% still uses "Hernando" as a coping mechanism in situations where he's uncomfortable or scared. This lessens over time but never fully goes away, and his family learns to recognize Hernando's appearance as a sign that Bruno maybe needs a bit of comfort
He sometimes forgets that he's an active member of interactions again now and will sometimes just. Sit there staring when someone tries to talk to him before remembering Oh Yes, Other People Are Aware Of My Presence Again

My little sister made Encanto headcanons
Mrs. Deadfish held Bruno’s hands ❤️ and then they ran away to North America together so no one catches them having eye contact with each other, but Bruno didn’t love her so he ran away to South Africa. Literally ran. He has bags under his eyes because he never stopped running. He never sunk into the ocean because he was running extremely fast because he’s Bruno
Mirabel sleeps on top of Antonio every night because she doesn’t have a bed
Dolores’ bed, walls, floor, books, phone, door in the middle of her room not connected to any walls, cat, siblings, and ears are all made of human ears, and she got a ear for her 5th birthday
Camilo actually has a 7 foot frame, rats along his back, when he calls your name it all fades to black, yeah he sees your dreams and feasts on your screams
Bruno actually has a 1 foot frame, mice along his back, when he calls your mom’s name it all fades to white, yeah he’s seeing your mom and feasts on your mom
Mrs. Deadfish’s fish drowned
Bruno has a brother named Bruno Bruno, who is one of the rats
Luisa lived with Bruno in the walls
Encanto takes place in the same universe as Pokémon. The Madrigal family are all their own Pokémon, besides Mirabel, who is a very deformed popplio. Pedro was captured in a Pokéball.
Pepa was named that because her great grandmother was Peppa Pig
Abuela’s gift is being Peppa Pig
Bruno actually is named Bruno Actuallí
Bruno Actuallí actually is Susie Sheep Pig
WE DON'T TALK ABOUT BROWN WAS MADE from broom
Because there were no bathrooms in the walls, Bruno actually just held it in for 30 years. The house fell because Bruno finally peed. (My sister knows he was in the wall for 10 years and refused to elaborate on “30 years”)
Hernando’s nickname is Ultra Bruno
Mrs. Deadfish cuddles her dead fish’s bowl like a stuffed animal when she sleeps
Mariano has a medical condition where he occasionally forgets things, like how to walk normally, demonstrated in We Don’t Talk About Bruno

You know is not healthy to still think about it, but you can't help yourself. Their absence still weighs heavy in your heart, even though it's been five years since they're gone. Why did you come back to this cursed town again? Why didn't you go somewhere else while you recover financially? Maybe, you should stop running away, maybe, you should finally confront the ghosts of your past... That's the reasonable thing to do, right? But are you ready?
Tumblr media
The death of your best friend was unexpected and too much for you to handle. Immediately after your highschool graduation you left Barranca, the city you grew in, to go to study in Lima and with the mentality to never come back. Now though, it's 2021, and the pandemic hurt your financial situation to the point that you had to break your promise and go live at your mom's house again. This game is set in the years 2021 and 2016, traveling through MC's present and past. Help past MC to overcome their insecurities, discover new feelings and live unforgettable moments, and be alongside present MC in their journey to overcome grief (or not) and face the things from the past they were trying so hard to avoid.
Tumblr media
- Play as a woman, man or nonbinary!* (*Since the concept of nonbinary in Peru is relatively new, past MC will be closeted. Though, you can tell the characters you're closest to that you're nonbinary)
-Play as gay, straight, aromantic, biromantic and etc!
-Explore Peruvian culture and live in a small city (that MC will derogatorily call town) where everyone knows everyone's business.
-Learn to move on and accept the present or get stuck in the memories you can't forget.
- MC has a semi-set personality but the decisions about their life and their thoughts are totally up to you!
- Your best friend's death isn't the only thing you need to heal from... Explore complicated family relationships, too.
Tumblr media
- "MC" Juro Serrano (aka Little Nuñez): That's you! You're a little snarky and sarcastic as a teenager, and as an adult, you are part of the team that sees the glass half empty instead of half full. Will you change for the better or for the worse?
- Delia Serrano Nuñez: Your mom and the owner of one of the most recognized bakeries in Barranca, a sweet and cheerful woman even though her life wasn't as sweet as her or the cakes and pastries she sells. You always had a good relationship with her but since you decided to live alone in Lima, you never visited her in Barranca, so the bond between you two has strained quite a bit. She also expects you to take on the family business when she passes away but, is that what you want?
- Mrs. Darío: You spent a lot of time with her as a teenager. As an adult, you know nothing about her where abouts or what happened to her.
- Mr. Hernando Flores: Owner of one of the most famous flower shops in Barranca. The last thing you knew about him is that him and his wife divorced. Oh, he's also Nayer's dad.
- Nayer Flores Pinela (F/M- RO): You wish things would have been different.

WARNING :Smut, smutty, 18+, nsfw and probably freddys fazballs hanging 🤷🏻‍♂️
Hernandos First Night
Standing up, you groaned after a good stretch and sighed getting ready for work. It’s been weeks since you worked for Pizza Plex, place is pretty great, lovely theme, decorations and new animatronics design as you walked to the kitchen making food, thoughts have been running on your mind thinking you might get promoted you smiled as you pour the coffee on your mug, sitting alone on your couch drinking your coffee as the clock ticks at the background, you had your weird thoughts again from last night about a strange white bunny walking around or something white as you thought “hm- this is ridiculous “ you chuckled getting your mind off of it . After you washed your mug, you head to the bathroom And take a bath as you headed to change onto your uniform.
You arrived as you stepped out of the car locking it. Heading in, you were greeted by some staff that were passing by “Y/N!! “ a friend of yours yells your name as they panted near you catching their breathe “ HhHh!- Ugh.. sorry it’s just” they paused a bit” just what?” You couldn’t wait as you tried to push them the word they’re trying to say “ we have a new security guard with us, and he looks really big ooh boy-“ you raised an eyebrow as this news caught your attention. Children were running around and laughing, you couldn’t help but smile at them enjoying the place after a few walks since the place is ridiculously big, you saw your manager talking with the newbie while you were at it you couldn’t help but to look at his back from behind He has such a toned back; broad shoulders; his muscles; let alone his uniform not helping at all.. it’s hugging him..tightly “how big is this guy...” you spoke under your breath “ the hell are you doing?” Your friend came out of nowhere touching your shoulder “ EEak!-“ you jumped a bit from the sudden presence “ dude! Don’t! do that, and I was not doing anything just waiting here for the manager to be done so I can talk to them” you folded your arms “ heh, you sure you weren’t oogling at the new guyy?” “ ugh as if, it’s just the new guy what’s so special about him? Yeah he’s big but-..ugh whatever” you then stormed off and forget about talking with the manager. Hours passed as you sighed getting ready for any inconvenience happening Lifting your flashlight towards your way, suddenly you felt like someone is following you, you turned around to see map bot following you and offering a map to you “ no thanks map bot I know my way around here- remember?...whatever never mind.” You walked away brushing the feeling off “ Y/N!!” a wild sundrop appears handing out a drawing to you “ OH!- oh my god.. what’s this?” “ it’s for you!” You smiled a bit “ that’s very nice of you sunny thank you” you take it with you walking away again and there he is. The new guy, the guy that somehow gets your blood boiling for no absolute reason, maybe you’re already thinking he’s gonna get a promotion first than you? Or maybe everyone’s going to love him more than you? You’re not sure as you sighed observing him “..weird..” you noticed since he’s new around the place he seem to know the routes already you grew suspicious around him and decided to talk with him. Hernando was looking around the place smiling feeling the cold quiet air “ Hey!” You yelled for him from behind “ EE!!-“ he got a little startled by you turning around “ oh!- hello! I’m Hernando Marquez and I’m new here!” He let out his hand for a hand shake “ yeah..I can see that” giving him a slight cold shoulder since you can’t really wreck this guys first night of the job while you shake his hand you looked up getting a clear look on his face “ohh wow- I uh.. yeah Uh! Hope you have fun with this job” you smiled thinking that sounded really stupid than professional, he nodded “can you- show me around? I only know a few places and routes in here” he smiled awkwardly. After a few thinking you nodded “sure buddy.. come on” you lead the way as he follows you “ so this is the animatronics room, they charge in here before the next show and this one we are seeing is Freddy” he smiled at Freddy as you both moved along.
After showing each animatronics room, you showed him the security room again as the last tour “ welp,, so how was all that tour hm?” “well I enjoyed it very much, gracias..well 3 more hours before our shift ends” you nodded and noticed he looks a little upset wanting to stay more with you to be honest you actually want the same, but with him around you wanted to, ravage him?! Is this what you’re really thinking? You wouldn’t blame yourself I mean the guy you’re sitting beside with is clearly big and he smells good, let alone how adorable he is. “Yeah,let’s head to the restroom we need to change” he nodded and followed you. Unfortunately the males restroom is unavailable due to rebuild and you immediately blushed to the thought of sharing the same room“ what do we do now?” He looked at you all concerned “ let’s- let’s just share a room I’m sure there’s no problem to it-“ at the back of your head, you wished he would do something to you, rip your clothes off with his big strong arms or unzip your pants with his teeth oh how you wish that would happen.You both headed in and turned your backs as you quietly removed your clothes you can hear his belt unbuckling and It made you bite your lip to the sound of it, you looked back at him noticing he is already shirtless when you looked down his ass was- surprisingly big, it was just only him and his boxers. You can’t take it anymore as you turned and pinned him on his locker “ who- whoa- Cariño what are you doing-“ he was blushing already as he looked at you “ mm I want to show you more for your first night~” you took his boxers down as his big throbbing Cock hits your forehead “ Ah-“ your eyes widen to how big and hard he already is “ S-sorry it’s just- feeling your presence in the same room and you being- very attractive I can’t get my mind off of it-“ he smirked a bit “ well~ I’m glad you think the same~” you smiled looking up at him as you start to wrap your hands around his shaft, it made his lips part in an O shape looking down on you, holding your head “ Ohh~ fuck Querida~” he moaned out as you bopped your head ;swirled your tongue, and it made him throw back his head groaning, you decided to fondle with his balls as you began to deep throat him. You moaned and felt more aroused “Y/N I’m getting close!~ AHh~” Hernando starts thrusting his hips onto you as his Cock reaches deeper into your throat, tickling you. Hernando starts man handling you by grabbing your head bopping it aggressively “ Urk~ MMh!~” you moaned as you are enjoying this, he finally comes in your throat and let out a moan “ OhHn~ fuck yes~” you pulled away gasping and coughing for air Hernando began to grasp your arms a bit tight letting you stand up “oh god you’re so rough on me~” “mm~ you like me to keep going? Querida?~” he smiled gently as you nodded “ yes please..” you bit your lip again. Hernando turns you around spanking your ass “ I didn’t wanna tell you this but while you were showing me around I couldn’t help but stare at your fucking ass Ohh~” he caressed it and began squeezing them, you were panting heavily from that comment “ hurry up already~ I want to feel how big you are~” you glanced back at him while your chest touches the cold surface of your locker “ we only have an hour left so,, you have a point” he slaps his cock on your hole as he spits on it, finally he’s inserting his fat cock in you as you both groaned “ Ohh~ fuck honey..so inviting mmm~ so- wet~ AUH!!~” it was fully in as you gasped by the sudden thrust “ OH Hernando!- HAH~” your fingers curl in motion trying to grab something while Hernando on the other hand grabs your waist fucking you deeper “ Fuck, fuck AGh~ Nghh~” he bends over to kiss your ears and moan beside it “baby I’m close~” he keeps thrusting harder “ cum with me baby~” you moaned out as he nodded, he stood back up going faster and deeper “ FUCK!!~” he gripped your ass as he came in hard in you. After that he was taking care of you after the wild ride “see you next shift?” “Yeah..next shift” you then laid on his shoulder.

Just watched Encanto (spoilers)
First of all, the music and visuals is absolutely beautiful and inspiring
The pronunciation of the names sounds really familiar coz we have a lot of Spanish surnames in my country
My friends said I have a Mirabel-like vibe (mostly coz I have curly hair and glasses)
But I actually LOVE Dolores, especially her whispery voice and rap-like verses
"We Don't Talk About Bruno" and "Surface Pressure" are both amazing but my top favorite is probably "What Else Can I Do?" purely for the line "a hurricane of jacarandás"
You know for some reason I thought Bruno was voiced by Josh Gad coz he kinda sounds like Olaf in certain points
I kept forgetting that Dolores, Camilo and Antonio are siblings lmao they barely interact
I saw a theory about how the triplets have a color-coding thing going; Pepa's family is full of yellow, Bruno is green and Julieta's mostly blue and purple/pink. Abuela kinda has it as well with her red/violet dress. The fact that Mirabel has all these colors in her design is genius
Luisa's voice is so fascinating to hear in "Surface Pressure" coz the pitch lowers and rises and I see myself in her coz I never sing in one "voice"
Bruno, Hernando and Jorge are so amusing we need more of them
The fact that the Madrigal family and the film in general is female-centric gives me such happy thoughts
If you look closely at the photos of the kids gaining their gift/door with Abuela beside them, you'd notice that the only time Abuela is posed differently is in Isabela's photo with her head tilted slightly. I wonder why?
Speaking of the photos, Bruno is absolutely adorable as a kid
I wanna know if the guy and his aunt end up together though...
SPOILERS: In the final scene when the magic reappears on the door, Mirabel's glasses lit up with it. Part of her name means "to look" and there are a ton of "Open your eyes" lines throughout the movie and I think it's part of why Mirabel is the best one to suceed the family coz she "sees" the things that are hidden (Luisa) and the potential (Isabela) in her family
I totally think Mirabel's 'gift' is to be the next keeper of the flame (her door is the front door of the house itself, meaning her family is her world) like her Abuela
