As someone who has cousins and grandparents in Puerto Rico, seeing someone FINALLY take notice of the atrocities and SAY something is tear jerking to me. My Abuela literally built her own house from recycled wood and materials because the wage she earned from 3 different jobs couldn’t cover the rent costs for a Single bedroom apartment. Just because tourists think Puerto Rico is a “thriving island” doesn’t mean that they truly explored Puerto Rico. They only seen America’s Puerto Rico. They take photos of the mountains, not seeing the metal and wood houses hanging from the cliffs. They eat the food of “Puerto Rico”, not seeing the tired mother sweating behind the grill with her children waiting tables, praying for a tip. They dance to the music, not seeing bloody fingers worn from playing, or the tired strain in the musician’s voice. And now the wage is going even further down, making us, once Proud people who built our homes from the ground up, beg for every airplane to come just so we can eat. Spread the word, of this injustice, of this inhumane act, and pray for a change. Because we are.

me when some Puerto Rican/U.S. citizens think it’s a privilege that they don’t need a passport to travel to their country

You mean #re-bonking?

I can’t stop thinking about it now, but nose nuzzling with siren boys? -oh wait they don’t have noses-

Hmmm… gentle and affectionate forehead bonking?

Gentle siren forehead bonks??? ON MY CHRISTIAN BLOG?????? How obscene!!!

Sans: Forehead touching? Nuzzling? He might actually hesitate a while. He may even pull away, once or twice, if you go in for one. Those kinds of casual and universal displays of affection were commonplace in his old pod, and the memories can sometimes be a bit much for him.

... He won't hesitate for long, though. He's affection starved. Be careful, though- giving him nuzzles really solidifies in his head that you're his forever mate. He's gonna start getting aggressive with anyone he thinks is a rival for your affection.

Red: As a shark, he's used to much more tough displays of any affection. Biting, scratching, roughhousing... so he'd actually be pretty flustered by a forehead bonk or a sweet nuzzle. It's just so soft? So unequivocally gentle? He sits there momentarily stunned, before needing to sink under the surface of the water for a little while to process what just happened. One of very few times you're going to see Red being the flustered one.

Skull: Going in to give siren Skull a forehead bonk is a dangerous game to play. He'll see you leaning in as 'wife is giving open invitation to kiss and nuzzle'. If you don't heed the warning of his eyelight getting huge and excited, as soon as you're within range, you're trapped until he's had his fill of affection. Which could be anywhere from a few minutes, to nearly an hour. With tentacles and dexterity like his, escape is not an option.

You've also now opened the pandora's box of unwittingly informing him that nuzzling is one of your ways of showing love. He wants to show love in ways you understand. Expect him to drag you in and smoosh his face into yours at any chance he gets. Doesn't matter what you're doing near his tank, you will be leaving with a wet face and messed up hair.
