The Unsolved Vanishing of Xena

... I guess it's ok

I tried, guys. I really tried. But the TDP team came for me, personally, with Aaravos.

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)

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

-

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.

Some Bayverse Positivity

So, Bayverse is what essentially got me into Transformers. While Michael Bay himself is, ya know, bad, the films alone are what helped shape my love for this franchise. So, since the Bumblebee movie will mark an end to Bayverse, I thought it would be cool to list out some of the positive things I think Bayverse brought us.

- The designs of the robots. They gave us #THICC and fuckable robots when they didn’t have too. God bless.

- The score. Steve Jablonsky is the OG and part of why I tear up everytime I watch the “Arrival to Earth” scene from the first movie has to do with how amazing every single movie soundtrack has been. 

- The action. So I personally felt that Bayverse had some of the most amazing choreographed action scenes in modern film - the forest battle where Optimus tears through a gazillion Decepticons, the collapsing building scene from the third movie, the end battle in TF4 with Lockdown, Optimus, and the humans (I know this sounds like a stretch but to me the action in Bayverse was hella lit) 

- The CGI. During the first movie, the visual effects team literally had to invent a new system to be able to animate the bots. When they were animating Devastator, it set one of their computers on fire. The CGI in each movie only improved, and I’ll always stand by my opinion that Bayverse was snubbed at the Oscars for visual effects because holy s h i t the details put into each bot is amazing. 

- Out of every transformers continuity, I felt like Bayverse was the most “real” in how it portrayed war and suffering (esp how it pertained to Optimus and his behavior) while they definitely didn’t go as into depth as they could, I can appreciate that they tried interweaving politics and everything into the story.

But yeah. Feel free to add what you enjoyed about Bayverse. I’d always kinda wished TF would get a reboot, although a didn’t expect it to happen this soon.
