You Know What’s Cringe?

You know what’s cringe?

People who don’t know what bilingual people speak like. Cuz like I speak English and Spanish and you know “Spanglish” is super fun. (I mostly see this in fanfics).

But I never go: Yeah and I was at la playa, you know— sorry I speak Spanish and I mix up words! Silly silly me, no se hablar English!

It’s more like: Y estaba en la playa when my mom called me and she was yelling at me and I didn’t even know what I did! I was like ‘Mami, Que hice? Why are you yelling!?’ (More or less something I told my friend a couple of weeks ago)

Then theres the whole “character forgets a word because they’re thinking in Spanish!”

“No, no, the flecha! You know, the thingy that lights up! Like— ugh, what’s it called? Its like— its a flecha! I can’t think of the English word!” (Arrow, its a light up arrow)

Its so awkward to read those.

Idk but being bilingual isn’t just adding a random non-English word into a an English sentence.

Or like having characters just go: “you’re my hermano/hermana, man!”

Or (the very cringe) “come on foo!” // “ese!” // “vato!” // or literally any other word associated with cholos or Chicano gangs.

Like pet names I get. I understand those. I used to call my ex “mi amor” “corazón de melon” “Bebe” “lindó” “guapo” and nothing else in Spanish. Those are understandable cuz those are pet names.

Make Spanglish sound real! (hmu if you want someone to look over your Spanish, specifically)

Is it wrong of me to want to see Jason in his old clothes?

I love his new clothes too, don’t get me wrong, but there’s just something about Jason Todd wearing fancy sweaters.

LOOK AT HIM! LOOK AT HIS PANTS!

JayKyle AU where Kyle decides to go to university to get an art degree. He ends up meeting an obnoxious classic lit student in an art history class. That student? Jason Todd.

Cue obnoxious art kid vs. equally obnoxious classic lit kid. It would be academic rivals to lovers.

But in the background Kyle is still going around as Green Lantern taking care of whatever off missions the League needs help with since all the other Lanterns are off in space most of the time. And who does he meet? Red Hood. Kyle does not know that Red Hood and Jason are the same person— but now not only is he crushing on his nerdy bookworm study partner, but also the asshole that keeps shooting him with rubber bullets! And unknown to him, it’s the same guy!

This could take place in Gotham— obviously. Gotham has a university. But it would be so much funnier in my head if it takes place in UCLA.

I think it should take place in a SoCal university because that makes it so much funnier for some reason.

Okay, so crack thought. I was reading a Reddit: AITA post and it was about this lady who named her baby after her ex and her husband found out and I just—

What if Remus and Tonks named Teddy ‘Sirius’ instead of Teddy and Tonks thinks it’s Remus naming their kid after his best friend and her cousin, but it’s actually Remus naming their kid after his dead ex.

Snape: *being a jerk to Harry*

Harry: who do you think you are? My dad?

Remus, out of nowhere: He wishes. That would mean he managed to marry your mother.

On one hand, the idea of Alfred Pennyworth being the blandest of white people when it comes to food is funny as heck.

On the other, the idea of Alfred Pennyworth being the grandfather that like tries really hard to learn what his grandkids like and cook them their favorite meal to perfection, makes my dead little heart flutter.

Uptown Girl by Billy Joel is the perfect JILY song EVER.

(in my humble opinion)

And we all know that our beautiful uptown girl is James Fleamont Potter. Lily Evans is his downtown guy.
