Something That Always Makes Me Cringe Without Fail Is When Authors On Here Write A Hispanic Reader But

Something that always makes me cringe without fail is when authors on here write a Hispanic reader but with the most basic google translate sentences. I’m a no sabo kid, born and raised in a mixed white-Mexican household. A little part of me DIES when inaccurate stereotypes of Hispanic/latin people are portrayed and inaccurate representation of the language and the vernacular of our language. I don’t mind if people want to write for Hispanic readers - please feel free! but do not consult just google translate for help or have a character randomly insert Spanish into a completely English conversation - it’s lazy and poor writing. Please just review and put effort and research into your writing if you are writing about a culture or group that is not yours.

also this is just a thirst blog at this point and this is a little self indulgent but lmk if anybody wants to read a fic about southern!medic!reader x Soap like them both having nicknames for eachother like soap calling her Bonnie and maybe reader calls him sweetheart or darling. And the rest of the team just gets frustrated because they can’t understand soap or reader when their accent thickens and their slang vernacular engages. also for all my southerns i grew up in southeast America like GA but I was thinking the stereo typical Texan accent that the rest of the world associates with the south.

I’ve been super inspired by my mutual @glossythor ‘s works with a medic! reader but maybe I’ve just hit a super niche part of myself

Spanish is a beautiful language. You don’t say “I love you” in Spanish, you say “yo quiero comer culo” which translates to “you are the light of my life” which I think is one of the most beautiful things to say to someone

““Motherfuckers will read a book that’s 1/3rd elvish, but put two sentences in spanish and they (white people) think we’re taking over””

Bro this one photo of Mike has me screaming and shaking the bars of my enclosure. like imagine him looking at you, full of pity while you try to ride him over but it just feels so good that your legs are shaking and he just whispers all soft, “hey hey hey, I got it pretty girl.” Bro.

The Israeli army opened up a mass grave in al-Shifa hospital and dug up 130 bodies of dead Palestinians and took them.

Reported by journalists in gaza and news outlets as well as the health ministry spokesperson.

Thinking about Israel's skin banks that are filled with stolen Palestinians body parts, do your research if you don't know what that is. This should stop, even the dead aren't left in peace.
