Been offline because of this.

I can finally introduce Artù (Arthur in English, like the king), he’s a Jack Russell, 2 months old, aprox 2.5 kg and the cutest puppy around.

Loves to sit between feet, nap on people, chill and snuggle literally everywhere. Every moment is a good moment for cuddles. I love him🥺 he already stole my heart and it’s only the beginning😩

Sorry for the interruption on the feed🙈🍓

#1 – “Why are you looking at me like that?”

A/N: Hey hey hey🍓 As mentioned in my previous post aka the 48 prompts masterlist, this is #1 of 48 prompts that I'm writing to get back into the swing of things. This is pure fluff, it is ezekiel x f!reader (just like all my other writing, unless specified otherwise) but no descriptions are made so everyone can fit in.💙 Enjoy!

/ masterlists

One shoulder against the doorframe, he stood there, watching you, with his arms crossed and a bright smile on his face. Almost looking like he was containing his laugh.

“Why are you looking at me like that?”, you asked him momentarily stopping your ministrations to turn your head and look at him. When his smile only got bigger, his brows rose and he did not answer, you chuckled and went back to painting your toenails. “Whaaaaat”, you laughed, knowing fully well why he had that look on his face.

“I like seeing you like this. It’s… something else”, he snickered. You were focused on your feet and sitting on the floor, so you didn’t see him move from the door to sit on the bed behind you, but you heard the sound of his footsteps on the carpet. Seven slow thuds and then the softest sound, him sitting on the bed, hunched over to get a better view of you.

“You’re mad I look better than you, - you mocked him - and this is self-care, you should try it. It’s nice to pamper yourself occasionally”,. You had on a hoodie and some sweatpants, a facemask and you were just about done with nail polish. He gave you a nod and this time you caught it thanks to the full-length mirror that sat on the floor, and against the wall.

You went to the bathroom to take off and dispose of your sheet mask, when you went back to the room, EZ had changed into some sweatpants and a tank top. “It’s raining outside and you’re still hot… how?”, you asked him, shivering just at the thought of being in a tank top.

Once in the living room, he laid down on the couch, turning the tv on and extending an arm out to you. “Cuddles?”, he asked, his body warm (he’s always so hot even when you’re freezing, how is it possible?) and inviting. Taking his hand and nuzzling into his side, you answere, “Cuddles”.

48 prompts masterlist

Sooooo👀 hello there!🍓 Long time no see!💕 I am back from another random disappearance and decided to see if my brain is still functioning.

I found these 48 prompts on my dash, thanks to whoever reblogged them!, and decided to do small drabbles (?? Is that even how they're called?) for the characters I write for. Instead of putting the single prompts on my masterlist and crowd it, I am going to link them all down below (and this post will be liinked in my masterlist), in numerical order, with the character and the warnings.

I do not know if it's gonna be one prompt per day or 48 in 3 hours lmao, let's see what happens.

Thank you to everyone who's gonna read these, love you💙💙

This popped up and it kind of settled a debate I had in my head. Then, I thought: "Do I leave it alone and let people disrespect me? Nah". So I'm going to stand my ground💅🏼

So.... yeah. I went MIA again. A few things happened in the past 3 weeks and it resulted in me having to take a break. I am going on a full on rant, feel free to skip.

Yesterday I had my degree party or whatever. Everyone started joking about how I had to drink alcohol and I immediately started to feel uneasy because... I don’t drink. And these people (that are my friends) know it. Everyone always says I should “loosen up” and drink sometimes but, aside from the fact that I despise the taste of every alcoholic thing in the world, my family has a history of alcoholism.

My grandfather was an alcoholic and I remember specific details from when I was a kid, related to his addiction. Now that I’m 22, I can talk freely about it and my parents have told me so many things that I couldn’t have known, since, at the time, I was a kid.

It all made sense: my rejection of alcohol, the anxiety I get when I am around people who drink a lot, and it doesn’t matter if they can handle it, it just makes me want to get the fuck away from them. Not always in a bad way, but still not a preferred situation.

Mid May, we went to my grandma’s bday in a restaurant and my uncle drank ~3 wine bottles all by himself and I wanted to have the ground swallow me. That day, I understood that alcoholism is a thing in my family and it always gets overlooked. I am the only one who doesn’t drink (even my 16yo brother drinks occasionally) and I am considered the black sheep, in this department.

I have started getting anxiety in social settings where alcohol is involved, add that to the social anxiety disorder and it all goes to shit when I’m out of my house/comfort zone.

I’ve had to figure out and come to terms to what my feelings were and how I should go on from now on. I have my therapy session on June 10th, I’m going to discuss this issue with my therapist and get her opionion on it. I’m bringing tissues cause I still can’t talk about my grandpa without crying, for some reason, and he passed 2+ years ago.

Anyways, end of rant. If you made it this far, just know that I love you and I hope you are having the best day ever, because you deserve it. Take care of yourself.💕

In these days of my disappearance, I have been catching up on shows/movies.😌 and my dad bought a house, so we have to move😂

So far I’ve seen El Cid (I got a thing for Jaime Lorente, now), the show Paranoia Agent (mindblowing!!!), Porco Rosso, Howl’s Moving Castle, My Neighbour Totoro and Spirited Away. I plan on finishing the Studio Ghibli movies this week🤓

I am slowly getting my inspo back for writing and I wanted to start writing (as previously mentioned... somewhere) for some Narcos characters👀 and of course Mayans and SoA.

Hope everyone’s having a WONDERFUL day💐💗

(For context, this is Stanis LaRochelle, a character of the series Boris, which makes this face because he says it attracts wom*n😂)

Y/N: Why doesn't Angel find me sexy when I bite my lip?

EZ: What do you look like when you bite your lip?

Y/N: *Bites lip*

EZ: ...

EZ: Have you considered biting your bottom lip instead?

Extremely well said!👏🏻

I just want to add something, SoA was praised because Jax (who’s white) has “good intentions” and it’s no secret that the racial element in this comparison is the reason for everything. Ezekiel and Angel have good intentions, too, but they mostly pass as the bad guys that go around killing people just because. Mayans is basically seen as immigrants who grew up in a corrupted environment, sometimes even corrupted families (see >Felipe), so they have no choice other than behave the way they were raised. Their violence is inevitable because that what they are. Angel’s plan to save the club is treated like a side plot only, whereas Jax’s ideas at some point became the actual plot and everything else was a result of his struggle to do good things.

I hate this reasoning with a passion, but this is what I perceived while reading some things on the Internet about Mayans.

I feel like after sons the writers were so happy they didn’t have to keep writing diversity in lmaoo, like sons covered bunch of different gangs so there was lots of racial diversity but Mayans is mostly brown people(which is how it should be if not all) and all the white people they could find. Like I’m sorry but the whole cast of side characters looks like a snow bank. Sons did a good job of showing you how diverse the people in proximity with them were. In Mayans the only people within reaching distance are white. Like there’s no one else around to interact with(other than that cop and Juan Denver I guess).

So, I have thoughts about this because I've seen it said a couple of times and I feel like people aren't really seeing the bigger picture, so buckle up because it's long.

The main one being that Elgin James had nothing to do with SOA. Mayans is in the same universe as SOA, but it's not the same story. It's a different culture telling a different story, with a different focus, due to different experiences in this country. A difference is also that Kurt was the one responsible for the creative process regarding SOA. So all of the racism, sexism, rape culture, transphobia, homophobia was from Sutter's vision, not Elgins.

Now. The 'diversity in SOA was never really there for diversity. It was there for plot. The Grim Bastards were there to make it seem like the club wasn't as racist as it actually was because "Hey look, we have black friends" talking about their long-established history while simultaneously talking down on them. The 9'ers, same shit. Prentinging to be cordial, only to try and pin them for something they didn't do because they played into the angry black man stereotype, Clay's exact words. Weston was a white supremacist. We know that. Anyone who watched for 10 minutes knew that. That was well established for his storyline. It really wasn't necessary for Sutter to make Weston's chest tattoo a part of the costume design, but he did.

Then they had "relationships" with the Mayans back and forth all the while calling them Spics. So is that added diversity, or is one more avenue for Sutter to include white men looking down on those around them who aren't white?

Then there was the Triad, same thing, Chibs' character references them by calling them "r*ce m*nkeys" so again, was it diversity because they wanted to show diversity and create that atmosphere? Or diversity because...you get the idea.

So that's one thing from a writing standpoint. Sutter was going for a shock value based show that was going to give white Americans a hard on and it did. What better way to bring shock value than to be racist at every turn presented and play on bigotry? Elgin is trying to tell the stories of what Latino MC culture is like along with what the Latino experience is like in this country period. He's not trying to shock the viewers or be named the most controversial show; he's storytelling.

Then there's the fact that communities usually tend to have people within them that look alike, and the smaller the town, the truer that is. People will naturally congregate together with those they have the most in common with. The bigger a city, the more diverse. The smaller a city, usually the more uniform their demographics are. So then speaking on demographics, let's get into demos for the areas that the shows are based around. For the record "Charming" doesn't exist, it's a fictitious place for SOA, however, its general real-life area where it was shot at is San Joaquin County, California. So let's look at the demographics for that location.

It's got a fair bit of diversity in the sense that it's spread out. Disproportionate sure, but the demos are relatively spread out. So the diversity that we see in SOA having been filmed in San Joa county is relatively accurate. The Mayans in that 42.0%, 9'ers and Grim Bastards in the 8.3%, The Triad in the 17.4%, etc.

Now let's look at Calexico, which is the bordering town between the Mexican and Californian wall where Mayans is based.

Not much diversity. Why? Many of the people who live in the Calexico area are Mexican and other Latinx people who have immigrated from Mexico and are just trying to get by and live better lives. Many stay in that area so that it's easy for them to go back and see their families, sometimes at the wall itself if either side is unable to cross. Calexico isn't really a place where people just...go. People that are there are usually there because again, either their family has been there and they never moved, or they're staying there to be closer to their loved ones across the border. There are always exceptions, but that's the basis. So you've got the Latinos that live there...and then you have border patrol and the police force that get their rocks off by going after Brown people for a living. Those are the main two groups present. So Mayans, like SOA, has stuck to being realistic in regards to showcasing the demographics and population in which their shows were filmed. Charming was realistic to San Joa Valley and Mayans to Calexico.

So all of that being said, I don't really understand why Mayans keeps being put under a microscope. I mean xenophobia is why, but I don't get why it can't just be enjoyed and had to be directed when SOA checked every morally void box there was and just got a pass. Mayans MC is scrutinized more than SOA ever was and it just gets a little frustrating after a while. I think it's amazing that Elgin and the cast were given the ability to tell these stories that so many of us in the Latinx community understand and resonate with, and they do it beautifully, but it always seems like there's a reason people want to drag it. I'm not saying that's what you're doing, but that's what keeps happening and it's bothersome. Mayans is supposed to be a spin-off of SOA showcasing life for a Mexican American MC and that's exactly what it's doing. It's doing what it set out to do, and some people are still tearing it apart for things that are realistic.

The diversity on SOA was performative so it could get people talking about it, just like Venus' inclusion was performative. Mayans isn't trying to do that. It's taking Latinx men and women and showing their lives within the Latinx community and the struggles that we face within that community. It's giving Latinx viewers something of our own, but it gets dragged like never before. We're just trying to enjoy this piece of representation that we were given and it's being clouded and tainted by the constant criticism that I never saw SOA get and frankly still doesn't get outside of this community it seems. I don't really know what else to say.

A/N: Part 2 to this, since I immediately got the idea while reading @thesandbeneathmytoes comment, thanks babe for fueling my inspiration🙈💞 This writing is not proofread, sorry if there are any mistakes!

/ Masterlist / masterlist 2

Sometime during the night, some people had gone home, and you had stayed at the clubhouse, trying to help EZ clean up the mess. Some of the Mayans were still around, Coco was almost asleep on the sofa, Gilly was playing solitaire and Angel was making his way towards where you were cleaning the tables and chairs.

“Heard you finally kissed my brother – he waited for you to finish cleaning the chair and then sat in it – glad to know that fucker finally confessed! Now spill the tea, how was it?”, he had that dumb smirk on his face, clearly a bit more than tipsy, straddling the chair nonchalantly, completely unaware he had just outed his brother feelings. Speaking of said brother, you instinctively turned your head to where EZ was standing and you found him looking at you with a blank expression, trying to gauge your reaction. Tearing your eyes away from him, you looked back at Angel, asked him if he had a ride home. “‘M crashing here, but thanks”, he mumbled. You went back to cleaning the room and after a while, you and EZ were the only ones left, silence surrounding you both.

“I believe we should talk”, he started, putting down the cloth he was using and coming to stand beside you. “Yep – you nodded – we definitely should”. “I’m sorry for my brother, you know how he is when he gets drunk”, he started apologizing but you cut to the point. You almost didn’t let him finish his sentence before speaking, “Did he lie? Or was that the truth?”. Silence came back as EZ delayed his answer for a couple seconds. “It’s true. I like you. A lot. – he let out a breath before continuing, and this time you let him talk – I never said anything because I didn’t want to ruin the friendship and I’m not sure if you feel the same… but I’m pretty sure I’m in love with you and it’s hard pretending I’m not”.

He was looking straight ahead and you were looking at him, standing at his side. You admired him as he spoke, the way his lips moved, the contours of his face, his facial hair… everything about him was beautiful. “I like you, too, EZ. I never made a move because… I don’t know, I guess I thought you didn’t like me”, you shrugged your shoulders and sighed.

You watched as he moved to stand in front of you, your heartbeat quickening when his eyes met yours. He was standing so close your could smell his body wash, his hand came to rest on your cheek as he softly stroked the skin. “Do you want to give this a try?”, you nodded gently in response and licked your lips, “I’d love to”. He caught the movement of your tongue and his eyes switched from yours to your lips, almost asking for permission. You leaned in and he did the same, his lips pressed gently against yours, and his arms came to surround you and bring you against his body. The silence in the room made you aware of everything, the warmth of his hands and lips, his breathing, your stomach filling with butterflies, how the moment seemed to be stuck in time.

When you broke the kiss, you looked at each other and he smiled, “Can I see you tomorrow?”. You chuckled at his eagerness but nodded anyways. “I’ll see you tomorrow, goodnight”, you answered and made your way for the door, promising to text him when you got home. You couldn’t wait for the next day to come.
