I have a gripe with Modern AU! Javier concepts icl...often I'm not fond of the au that much but javier in particular 💀
Mariachi bands, social activists and politics aren't exclusively a 19th century thing you know that right?
Imo he wouldn't be a punk rock or metal artist at all because the music he sings are folk songs and romantic tunes, and to many Latin American people the former are things that are still sung today. To me, my modern AU Javier would be a Mariachi guitarist who is also apart of leftist activist groups in Mexico. Him being a revolutionary is such a core aspect of his backstory and the reason he sides with Dutch in the first place and I feel as though it's overlooked too often. In addition, Javier himself is very fond of his home and nationality which is why he risked his life to reform it for the better so it's more likely he'd stay in Mexico in a modern day setting.
Maybe it's just my history brain making me want to preserve the culture of the few POC characters in popular media, but I feel like it's so much more interesting to embrace the aspects of his character that are linked to his heritage in Modern AUs.

WAIT THATS DR JOHNNY WILCOX eofjekdn I didn’t know Jake played him lmaoo by the looks of it I figured it was from either a western or he was part of some mariachi band 😭💀 (I haven’t seen Okja but is he like not a good guy or something I saw the reblogs on your post and soph said hate speech I’m assuming he’s not then..) but you called him your blorbo?
This is my last ask for the night and I'm taking the chance to info dump about my favorite little man in order to decompress a bit. Sorry, anon, I hope you can put up with all of this. <3 Because my natural instinct is to say, “Dr. Johnny did nothing wrong!! He is my man and he can do no wrong!!!! 😤😤😤”
Lmao spoilers for Okja below the cut!
On a real note, Johnny is one of the most interesting characters in Okja to me because of his depth. While basically every character in Okja is presented as a kind of archetype with their own twist (EX: Jay is gentle and kind and soft spoken but he also has a streak of anger and aggression in him when out comes to the things he cares for; Lucy believes she's doing good for the world but also completely disregards the negative effects of her company), I think Johnny's little twist is so fascinating??
He's presented as this fun and wacky TV personality who is all in for the animals. But over the course of the film, we see that Mirando has been puppeteering him entirely. They've turned him into their little marketing marionette. So when Mija and Okja come in, he's understandably upset! He spends ten years of his life pouring into this company only for them to drop him as soon as he stops benefiting them. Aside from Johnny's self important view, he has a few moments where he mistreats Okja. This completely contradicts his supposed dedication to animals.
Overall, I think his character can be such a great reflection of how capitalism and this pursuit of progress can completely break a person down. Because not only has Johnny found himself in the position of being a corporate puppet, but this pushes his alcoholism and pushes him to compromise on his morals even further. I think Johnny is equal parts a victim and a perpetrator in Okja.
But again, on a silly note, he is my babygirl. My sweet cheese. My rotten soldier. My good time boy. On every single level I adore him. I love his goofy little outfits, his silly little mustache, his shrill ass voice, and his weasel-like physicality. He beguiles me entirely. So yes. He is my blorbo. 🥰

The “I can’t believe it’s taken this long for the Red Sox to be on at the same time as 911 and my poor brain can’t handle the divided attention” reaction dump:
This reaction dump might be a mess because I’m trying to eat dinner at a respectable time for the first time in months, and pay attention to the scoreless Red Sox, and watch this I fluencer chick melt her face off with hot rocks I mean wtf am i seeing rn
If they parallel the infamous IG live of Buddie … idk what I’ll do, but it’ll be something
Sue 🤍🤍🤍
Also seeing Eddie navigate Twitter with a stylus is giving me dad vibes. Maybe bc my dad solely uses a stylus on his iPad but still

Btw I can’t believe how chill Karen was with being robbed bc I’d be a sobbing mess after I punched the car out of anger. Then I’d sob more over the broken hand that I know will cost thousands to deal with bc American healthcare is the woooooorst and I don’t have a bomb ass dr wife to fix me
Yo passing out ruins the wedding? Bruh
Seeing Buck realize he’s on camera (or has an audience like the mariachi band) is hilarious because he really lights up like a puppy
