Made A Comic About Jesus And St. Peter, My Fav Apostle

wouldn’t it have been funny if light fr was not kira

Do u know those "and it was all a dream" AUs where some character wakes up at the begging of a story with all the acknowledge of what's to come? I can't stop thinking of that with Armando, I just can't help but wonder what'd he do differently, how he'd react to being engaged again to Marcela and Betty not in love with him yet, his daughter not being born yet. Like, what'd he do? Do you have any hc for that?

Also, porqué carajo hablo en inglés jajaja

Omg nooo, I had never heard of that but it's super interesting!

There's two paths that could happen:

1) Armando chooses to do everything differently, but with the fear of not achieving the same results

2) Chooses to do it all the same.

I think Armando would choose the first one, because by the end of the novela, Armando is much less selfish and truly sees for Betty's wellbeing above his own and everything else.

The biggest thing here is that by the time the novela starts, Armando had alreadh presented his proposal and basically won the presidency with it, therefore, he can't change it. If he were to gathet the Board to admit thay he KNOWS tbe proposal is flawed, he could lose the presidency and Daniel would get it. Now, as we know, After-ending Armando doesn't care about losing the presidency (he knows Betty is better suite for it and admires her for that) but the thing is that if he were to admit the flaws and Daniel were to be president right now, Betty would never be hired. Thus, they would never get close. The only solution is repeating what he did before: take the presidency under an extremely flawed proposal and defend it with teeth and nails.

It's not easy for him. He is now a changed man, and he doesn't want to defend his awfuk proposal and be an ego-driven egoistic man again, but he has to in order to assure the presidency.

The hardest part is consciously bettaying his dad's trust.

One thing he absolutely will change, is that wouldn't get engaged with Marcela, both because he knows he doesn't want her (he wants his wife!) And because it's totally useless. His reasoning in the novela was becuase she was "lo mejorcito" and because he wanted to prove "maturity" to his parents. Now knowing rverything that will happen, he knows both of those reasons were idiotic and empty.

He obviously has to break up with Marcela soon, but doesn't know how or when. It was extremely difficult to leave her last time, and he dreads to think that that whole thing will repeat: the crying, the begging, the empty promises, the facing of awful truths.

He would probably be waiting for the right moment, but meanwhile, he'd totally stop sleeping with her. As well as with all the models, ofc.

Mayyybe he'll try to treat her a little nicer (remember he admits feeling bad for all that happened with her, also as a way to compensate not sleeping with her) but even with all thay he's changed, Marcela still has a gift to make him lose his temper.

Also, he'd refuse to hire Patricia. He doesn't care about keeping his relationship with Marcela, therefore, he has no reason to hire Patricia, especially knowing how much Patricia bullied his wife.

Marcela would throw a biiiig fit over this, but Armando would remain unmoved.

The new issue here would be that Betty would now get a desk in the hallway, far away from him... he'll miss her presence, but she never belonged in a dark and humid closet. She never deserved to be hidden, and he was never truly embarrassed about her appearance.

His willingness to put her in the hallway where she could be seen would also put him in trouble with his parents, bjt once again, he doesn't care. (Remember Roberto and Margarita criticized Betty's image the first time they met her and argued that she was giving Ecomoda a bad reputation)

His friendship with Mario will also immediately go stiff as soon as he sees him. ((As always I'm ignoring Ecomoda, therefore the last that this Armando knew of Mario was when he quit after Armando hit him for reading Betty's diary.))

Mario would immediately notice Armando's sudden change with him (cuz Armando is super easy to read lol) and so would Marcela.

However the biggest red flag for them both is Armando's reaction to Betty. Armando is soooo bad at hidding his emotions, that Mario quickly noticed how he gets incredibly irritated and even shuts him up every time Mario wants tk joke about Betty's appearence.

Of course, Mario constantly teases him about having a crush on her, and he just changes topic.

Armando tries to tolerare Calderón, and even sometimes do really enjoy his presence, but tries not to fall for this fake friendship. He needs Calderón for all the sketchy stuff they'll do in order to "try to fulfill the business goals"

Armando obviously is super nice and sweet to Betty (as much as a boss can, of course!) And after just a couple of weeks, he raises her to assistant position. This time, he raises her salary as well. It is at this point that he realizes that he does need a secretary... and unfortunately, no one else hired the little sea lion, so she ends up as his secretary nonetheless.

It's a big defeat, but at least he was able to spare Betty a few weeks of bullying...

Also, as soon as Olarte is out, Armando gives Betty his office. This time, she has to accept it because now Patricia is going to use the regular secretary desk and the old closet never became an office, so she's happy to accept it.

The only thing here is that even though Armado was able to get rid of Patricia for a few weeks, Marcela is wayyy worse now with Betty.

Tqlking about Marcela, she is now in a big dilemma: Armando no longer sneaks out so she's sure that he doesn't have a mistress, but he is also refusing sex. The night when she dressed up as an executioner remains one of the most humiliating nights of her life, because he stood his ground firmly and didn't cede. He rejected her sexual advances and said he'd wait for her to get changed to talk. She felt so ridiculous and humiliated.

She doesn't understand what is going on, but she’s incredibly frustrated and angry, constantly snapping, and most of her anger is directed towards Betty.

Betty is absolutely in love with Armando since he always defends her, of course.

Also, Armando tries to leave subtle hints that he likes her, even though he knows she won't be able to tell. The day she decorates his office when he came back from a trip, this time he notices it and thanks her for it. Since he knew she was going to do that, he also brought her a little present (just a littlw and cheap souvenir, nothing extravagant because that would be too suspicious)

Anyways, most things go the same way, except that by the time Mario suggests to Armando make Betty fall in love with him, Betty and him have been secretly dating for a while lol as if this dude were to be able to keep his hands off her more than a coupleof months lol (also he misses his daughter so he kinda wants to rush things lol)

Obviously, Calderón never knows about this. Armando now trusts nothing personal with him, but Mario is still implicated in the qhole scheme of Terramoda.

Therefore, thwre is never a Letter of Instructions. Calderón is fooled into believing they aren't lovers, and he thinks Armando is simply having a weird crush thay for some reason refuses to act on it (e,cept that Armando IS acting on it lol)

There is no Le Noir dinners, expensive clothes for Nicolás, purposeful jealousy, nothing.

Also, since there is no Mercedes, Nicolas and Patricia never get together.

The only reason he hasn't broken up with Marcela is because he doesn't want to risk anything that vould possibly vhange the outcome of Betty becoming President. So, Marcela and him remain together publicly, but there's no intimacy. He dreads kissing her, as he feels like he is cheating on Betty.

That is also tbe only reason why he continued the business proposal. He knows Betty would never have a chance of becoming president if it's not under difficult circumstances.

Everything falls down furing the board meeting. This time, it is Daniel who uncovers them. Betty is fired. Armando feels awful about putting her through all this, especially because he knew Daniel was going to uncover them (remember in the novela Daniel was going to the board meeting with that intention)

Marcela also discovers about the affairs that same fay, when Betty cleans her office and is about to leave. Just like in the novela, Betty puts all her stuff in a trashbag and wants to make it seem like it's just trash (not out of disgust like in the novela, here she does it because she doesn't want anyone finding out the stuff and discovering the relationship. Remember there isn't a letter nor a betrayal)

The scene is INTENSE because when Marcela finds out the truth, Betty also breaks down and begs forgiveness ans all that. Remember she isn't full of spite here and feels terrible about being a mistress.

When Marcela slaps her for her "descaro", Betty takes it.

Now if you're thinking the whole Cartagena thing didn't happen here, you are WRONG. Armando makes sure that she "coincidently" meets with Catalina there (Armando sends Betty there under the excuse of "shielding her" for a while), and becomes her assistant.

Cata helps Betty much like how she did in the novela, except this Betty's wounds are only about the breaking of her morals, the betrayals she committed to the Pinzon and Mendozas families, all that. No broken hearts.

In fact, Armando told her if she needed some time to disconnect from it all, that she did, and he'd wait for her return. He insists she do, that it'll be good, and she eventually accepts.

Obviously ghe whole French man thing goes a little different. When Michel tries to kiss her, she apologizes profusely for "misleading him" and tells him she has a relationship

He accepts it well.

Cata does help Betty change physically. It takes a lot, but Betty eventually understand she feels that way because she feels she isn't worthy due to her insecurities, which comes mainly from the idea that she's ugly.

Cata convinces her to try something new.

Betty returns from Cartagena as a changed woman, like in the novela.

Also, Marcela and Armando never get back together. Armando never goes to that bar to get killed, and he doesn't drink like in the novela

Now this all obviously affect him, but he tries to remain firm because he knows it is temporary and that the business will be well when Betty takes it over.

The hardest moment is when Betty leaves and goes NC with him during Cartagena, because he almost feels like he is back in that nightmare when she thought his love for her was fake... so he has to constantly reassure himsekf that it is not like that at all, that they are well, that she’s fine, that he didn't break her heart this time, and that she's healing and improving herself in Cartagena.

Obviously all this past year has been very difficult for him constantly feeling like he's going crazy, but he knows it is all temporary, and that (along with Betty) is what keeps him grounded.

His primary motivation to keep it together is the promise of eventually being back to his old life with his wife, and to see his daughter again.

Betty becomes president and Nicolás starts officially working at Ecomoda (it is onky at this moment that him and Patricia officially meet)

There is obviously no big reconciliation, because they never fought.

Michel doesn't come back.

Idk how or when does Mario leave, lol my brain wrnt dead.

Oh and btw, Armando becomes official with Betty as soon as she comes back. There is nothing holding them back anymore.

(About Nicolas and Patricia, it didn't work out, like in the novela, but it took Nicolás a little longer to figure it out because since there was never a "false rich thing", Patricia never shows her true colors...)

The end.

Brain is ded.

Tadaaa, those are my hcs lol what do you thkn🥰??

Also, idk, a mí me encanta hablar en ingles jajajaja

God they make me go fucking crazy . Hyuna the woman that you are

Part of the reason I try to make good vegetarian food even though I’m not vegetarian is because of the one week my dad was convinced he was gonna go vegan.

You know what he made for dinner that whole week? Steamed vegetables, rice, and canned beans. All unseasoned. Technically a nutritionally complete meal. It tasted awful.

How could a man usually so good at cooking forget literally all of that when faced with the possibility of making vegan food?

I thought there had to be a better way. And it turns out there is. Vegetarian food doesn’t taste bad. Cartoons that depict vegetarians eating a singular leaf for a meal have ruined us. A lot of stuff that meat eaters eat in everyday life is technically vegetarian or easily made vegetarian. Why when faced with one restriction do so many people forget every single egg sandwich or apple pie they’ve ever eaten?

GUYS IT IS LITERALLY THEM

you ever take a uquiz and realize halfway through that you don’t respect the author and their opinion is useless to you

Best part of the new dhmis show? Duck and Red guy fighting over who's the dad.
