WHAT THE FUCK, WHY DID NO ONE TELL ME ABOUT HIM???

Happy Easter from God’s favorite morally-ambiguous lawyer.

dear non-spanish speakers writing spiderverse fanfiction (or anything with spanglish),

in spanglish you don’t switch by word, you switch by phrase.

it’s not:

“[first part of the sentence in english], [second part of the sentence in english], mi amor.”

“[full english sentence], querida.”

it’s:

“[first part of the sentence in english], [segunda parte de la frase en español], mi amor.”

-

also miles is boricua, miguel is mexican. they have two different accents and use different vocabulary for certain words.

also miles is “nyourican” - a puerto rican native to new york - while his mom is directly from the island, so there are differences there, too, because his spanish is more influence by new york english. 

here’s some good references that aren’t google translate (which usually pulls from spain, a country that speaks vastly differently from latin america)

SpanishDict

WordReference

here have some random videos on different slang/spanish accents:

Puerto Rico

Mexico (1) (2)

-

in spanish most words are gendered, so most feminine words end in a and masculine/gender neutral words end in o. adding ito/ita makes something cuter, smaller and more affectionate.

spanish nicknames that aren’t “mi amor”

“querido/a” - darling

“cariño” - dear (always masculine regardless, of who its being said to)

“mi princesa/príncipe” - my prince/princess

“mi rey/reina” - my king/queen

“papí/mamí” - can be used in any way; romantic, sexual, familial for one’s parent or child, or just platonically

“tesoro” - treasure

also spanish is a language that uses adjectives as terms of affection both cute ones and ones that might sound insensitive in english

gordo (fat), flaco (skinny), negro (black), blanco (white), linda (pretty), bella (beautiful), morena (brown skin), etc.

and like most languages that are not english, spanish has multiple ways of saying i love you.

“te amo” - romantic

“te quiero” - familial, platonic (although there’s nothing wrong with using it romantically)

see also:

te adoro - i adore you

te deseo - i want you

te necesito - i need you

 and, of course, they can vary regionally too.

please use this because i have read a lot of really well written things that take me out of it because the use of spanglish is terrible. don’t just go on your presumptions that spanish/spanglish works in the same way that english does.

buena suerte, gringos.

Somehow biker Maul returned

knitted scarfs ─── send me a song / lyric / album + a character and i'll make a moodboard out of it! ( includes short headcanons ).

omg omg cologne by beabadobee + tasm!peter parker maybe!!!! that song is so him

. ˳⁺⁎˚ cologne, beabadoobee + tasm!peter.

📻 neck kisses. late nights together. lazy mornings. loud music. missing peter's scent. calling peter by the telephone. borrowing peter's sweater. red roses. pink kiss marks by the collar. peter taking pictures of you from his camera. matching converses. wearing peter's clothes. playing with his hair.

Guess who’s sad again✨✨!

Okay i thought of this because it’s the way I am, so a Moonknight system x reader with abandonment issues.

Like the issue is so bad like if Marc and reader are just enjoying some time together and all of a sudden Marc just gets up and goes to the bathroom, reader is just sitting there staring at the door like a dog.

Marc:… Hon I was just in the bathroom.

Reader: You could have said that!

*reader is probably holding onto Marc’s pillow like it’s him*

when I get a new favorite character I have to decide if I wanna be them, date them, or want them to be my caregiver,,, 😭😭

I think about this all the time

too bad the Jedi couldn’t see the warning sign :/
