Fr I Was Like Tf Is It? And My Face Dropped So Quickly.

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)

WordReference

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

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.

I really really hate being mentally ill. It feels like my brain is ripping in half as a star explodes in my chest. I am always in pain and wish to be normal. -🪼

TW// VENT, ED, and FAMILY BULLYING/ABUES

This is so stupid, but I want to cry so fucking badly just because I’ve gained weight and it makes my stomach look bigger. And I can’t complain to anyone because they’ll say ‘oh stop being dramatic it’s just a little stomach.’ LIKE BITCH SHUT UP!! I have an eating disorder and I’ve been gaining weight, because of stress and I’m not fucking happy. I also hate venting to my mom because she’ll say some cheap bullshit to make me feel better, but it doesn’t and it only makes me feel worse!!

I hate more the fact I was I skinny kid to, but my own aunt still called me fat. LIKE FUCK YOU TO BITCH IM SORRY NO ONE LOVES YOU!!! Ahhhhg!! I’m so sick and tired of having to hear people say ‘ohhh your not fat your beautiful.’ KYS now just shut up.

This is so stupid but I just needed this off my chest

Btw I’m 136lbs now and I feel really dumb for complaining, but I’m just not happy I want to be at least 100lbs because I’m 5’3ft.

AHHH MARC WOULD ASK STEVE IF HE COULD SAY THIS TI THIER S/O

Posts that make me think about Moon Knight

Beautiful hashtags

Thinkin’ about the soft, smug little expression Steven must’ve had under his mask when he adjusted his suit during the fight with Harrow.

Would’ve been a shame if we uh. Saw that.

I never thought about Khonshu's pov, but if all I'm seeing is this, I'd be calling them worm too 💀
