There you are, innocently eating tapas at a restaurant, when you hear boss fight music behind you:

(He'll have the Caesar salad, gracias.)

This 10 meter tall statue of Augustus looms over Puerta Cinegia Gastronómica, a dining/shopping mall in Zaragoza, Spain. Augustus founded the town as Caesaraugusta (hence Zara-agoza) over 2000 years ago as a colony for veterans of the Cantabrian Wars, and many Roman ruins are still visible. I now want to visit Zaragoza.

mister lewis hamilton, sir, how are you gonna go on live television and talk about about how your karting days were the best times of your career and still never say nico's name? not once but multiple times??? oh you mean the karting your did with your childhood best friend nico rosberg? that karting? the karting where you met him? the karting where your families became friends? the karting where you spent months in italy together? the pizza eating contests and torn up hotel rooms? the frosties? the unicycling? that karting???? "i'm over the divorce," says man who is soo not over the divorce.

#he's sooo not over it #say what you want about him but at least nico can talk about it #the lengths lewis goes to avoid nico's name is genuinely sooo funny #babe who are you fooling? you can't even say his name #you ran away during that interview in spain #he was still speaking!!! and you heard one conversation ender and bounced #lewis hamilton sir you are soo funny #can the both of you go to couples counseling so the rest of us don't have to take psychic damage every time you two interact? #lewis hamilton #nico rosberg #brocedes #f1 #ok obligatory disclaimer for the anon: i do not think that lewis' fond memories of karting come solely from doing it with nico #i do think that he enjoyed it for reasons outside of being friends with nico (bonding with his dad/smth he enjoyed/etc) #but this is a brocedes post. i am going to make it about brocedes. hope this helps

Quackity: Lately, I have been participating in events and projects, and unfortunately it's become clear to me that my presence and name have only been used to attract the attention of my national and international community with the objective, as I see it, of generating more attention towards controversies - destructive controversies, and a rupture that is very clear in the community. [...] In advance, I ask the organizers of any type of events and projects like this to please show more respect to me and my community, because I've shown lots of sympathy and cooperation in these various projects and events, but it's become clear to me that their only interest is in using my name. My name and my community have been used to attract all this attention for distorted purposes, and I will no longer allow that to happen. That is not what my content is about - not me nor my content nor anything I’ve done.

Here's Quackity's commentary on respect and his reasoning for distancing himself and his projects from future events and awards shows.

[ Full Transcript ↓ ]

-

Quackity: Before I leave, I would like to talk about something that is very serious for me and something that I would like to tell you about. Because for me it is a very serious topic and it is a topic that- well, I had my mind on and I want to express it- [reading Chat] yes, thank you. Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas.

Anyways, lately I have been participating in events and projects, and in these events and projects, unfortunately it's become clear to me that my presence and name have only been used to attract the attention of my national and international community with the objective, as I see it, of generating more attention towards controversies - destructive controversies, and a rupture that is very clear in the community, and this is what I want to say: I'm NOT ok with these types of dynamics or stuff like this, and I want to make it very clear to my stream, my community, and everyone that, for this exact reason that I just mentioned, I want to make it clear that I want to distance myself and any of my projects from the Esland Awards, which you all know is coming up.

Sadly, the Esland Awards have been an event with a history of much controversy, a lot of division, and a lot of divisions within the community, and as you guys know, as you know, my content has never been characterized by seeking controversy or divisions or anything like that. It's for this exact reason that I don't want to be involved with these awards.

In advance, I ask the organizers of any type of events and projects like this to please show more respect to me and my community, because I've shown lots of sympathy and cooperation in these various projects and events, but it's become clear to me that their only interest is in using my name. My name and my community have been used to attract all this attention for distorted purposes, and I will no longer allow that to happen. I don't want it to happen. That is not what my content is about - not me nor my content nor anything I've done. That's what I want to make very clear here.

That's about it. I'm going to continue with the projects I'm doing and I want to thank my community so much for the support and love. I appreciate it very much, but I wanted to make this clear - I wanted to make this clear. This is just a topic I wanted to address quickly.

Thank you for all the love and support, I love you all so much.

#Quackity #QSMP #December 23 2023 #Translated #I tried my best but as always; if you have any suggestions or corrections please let me know #For context: Quackity and the QSMP have been repeatedly snubbed and undermined but very recently (as in like. the last 48 hours) #the ''Hispanic rewind'' aired and they were VERY rude to Quackity and his project #like straight up in the video itself they were rude about his project (and many other projects). It was basically a Spain-centric video #Then the creator double-downed on it on Twitter and was an all around asshole about it #I don't like sharing ''drama'' here but this is a matter of respect and communities so I think it's important to share #Especially since I know some people will ask ''hey why isn't Quackity / the QSMP nominated at this award show?'' #The Esland awards are a whole 'nother can of worms but the dude who did the Rewind is tied to that too #The Eslands have had a lot of problems though so frankly I can't blame him #I wasn't planning on posting this but I wasn't seeing any translations or clips floating around on here #despite the discussions people were having #so here it is for folks if they want / need to reference it #Anyways. Good for Quackity #He never speaks up about this kind of stuff but this was long overdue #k I just updated the wording on this I didn't like how I phrased a few things

cool fun fact for sunday

East Asia and South of South America are Antipodes meaning that they are in completely opposite points on the globe.

This means that when Acau joins we will have ccs in oppolise places playing together. People who physically could not be further away from each other.

The ones in buenos aires would be the furthest but i doubt Carre will play so I think cellbit or bagi are next. (idk where exactly they live but I'm pretty sure they come from the south of brazil)

Here is a map of the world showing antipodes. The areas in orange are perfectly opposite to each other.

#qsmp #hope when chinese speaking streamers get added we can get carre on as well so we have someone in Beijing and in Buenos Aires being together #they are both nearly opposite as well #alternativelly we could get someone in Peru and South East Asia #Or in Spain and New Zealand #Colombia/ venezuela and Indonesia too #ahh cant wait for more Asian CCs and mroe south american CCs #Taiwan and paraguay #Brazila dn the philipines but that part of brazil is fairly uninhabited (the coast has most people) #Chile and central china too

Sorry but we were speaking about history in a part of one of my classes and when the Vatican came on. I had to draw the sad dog man.

Machete is now immortalized in my class notes. It’s in spanish by the way, which is kind of funnily appropriate considering latin is very close to spanish.

.

#augh that's adorable! #“Vaticano” -> -> cue sad dog man #he doesn't seem very happy to be there #I've said this before and I don't really know why #but I keep finding the idea of people drawing little Machetes in post-it notes pieces of scrap paper and class notes #endlessly charming #it's so cute #it sparks joy #thank you! #Spanish and Italian are fairly closely related they're both descended from Latin and I think that's terribly nifty #I'd like to believe Machete speaks or understands Spanish at least passably #mostly due to continued exposure and for having a knack for languages #Spain was an influential superpower in the 16th century and also intensely Catholic so he ends up working with Spaniards on a regular basis #and he strikes me as a kind of person who would like to know what they're saying to each other even if he kept it to himself #not to mention that Spain has an extended history of ruling parts of Italy #the southern half of the country in particular #including the places where he grew up #gift art #nerium-aquifolium #own characters #Machete

There is something deeply funny to me about the fact that, of people who pray the rosary (at least in the United States); the Catholics tend to be super conservative, and the Episcopalians/Anglicans tend to be gay.

#source: I am a lesbian Episcopalian and I pray the rosary #queer anglicans tend towards 'high church' in general #which....actually makes sense when you think about it #'can we make church FANCIER? yes we can!' #christianity #anglican #episcopal #I always wonder about the woman in that small town in Spain #who had the hand-knit rainbow cardigan #she didn't speak any English and my Spanish is awful #so I couldn't ask her if she was lgbt/an ally or if she just liked rainbows! #but she lead the rosary prayers in that small town's church and stamped my credencial #given that Spain is one of the better countries for lgbt people who knows??? #ANYWAY #this post brought to you bc Notre Dame (the college) had a drag queen perform on campus #and conservative students prayed the rosary outside the theater in protest #and I lol'ed bc y'all the rosary is not gonna remove the gay cooties #Our Blessed Mother loves her queer children

[mullty]

I’d like to bring up Alejandro’s and Soap’s relationship if I may .

“You know Spanish?” “No.” “You will.”

These missions must’ve been days to weeks apart. Intel and planning take time. And throughout the games we see Soap speaking Spanish to Alejandro.

“Hermano, qué pasa?” “Revise mi bolsillo.” “Hasta la muerte.” (Alejandros favorite)

He really only refers to Alejandro as Hermano. Brother. In the game, he needs translation less and less. He picks up words and responds. I also think Soap is a go with the flow kind of guy. He returns the energy you give. And when Alejandro was just so open and ready to share his home and culture with Soap, it just like,,, made their connection so easy. Alejandro was so trusting and soap was supposed to what,, not reciprocate? They’re brothers now. Alejandro said so. Alejandro manda. lol. Also at the end when he says 

“Keep fighting the good fight, Hermano.” (Pelea la buena batalla is what Alejandro taught him.)

This is not a head canon. This is canon.

Alejandro and Rodolfo both taught Soap Spanish. I think in the whole 141 task force he was the least versed in Spanish. He was eager to learn and practiced a lot. He’s not a shy man so he wasn’t afraid to mess up. Sure, he sounded silly but it would make Rodolfo laugh the loudest- surprisingly- so he didn’t mind. 

“It usually annoys him when guero’s try to imitate us or poorly learn our language. He’s been mocked before.”

“I’m not doing too badly, am I?”

Alejandro just grinned.

“He likes your accent.”

Also,,, He calls Rodoldo “Rudy”. Rodolfo isn’t as picky as Soap with ppl calling him Johnny. But, everyone knows that you can’t just call him Rudy. It’s like a promise. Rudy is what his olders brothers and cousins called him. Rudy is reserved for family and people you wouldn’t hesitate for. 

“Call me Rudy.” He said suddenly after drills one day. Ordering him in a way. You’ll be loyal.  

“Okay.” Was all Soap responded. He understood and Alejandro just let out a laugh.

The same courtesy was offered to Ghost. But because he’s emotionally stunted, he’s not gonna. He appreciates it though. 

I do think Ghost had like beginner level understanding of spanish

“No te pierdas, Carnal!” “A Huevo!”

#call of duty mw2 #john soap mactavish #alejandro vargas #rodolfo parra #simon ghost riley #task force 141 #brotherhood #mexico is beautiful because of family #Soap vacations wherever alejandro and rodolfo recommend #ghost learns dad jokes in spanish even thought he doesn't get it at all #soap wants a latina and he's correct #soaps spanish level never really advances #he speaks like a child but he understands almost all of it now #but not spain spanish #that's his mortal enemy #respect #I got distracted half way #I need to write an au...

Periodic reminder that the Roman republic and empire were extremely genetically diverse, and had as much blood in common with Greek, Anatolian, and Middle Eastern folks as they did with western Europeans. The first African-born emperor came to power in 193 CE, another was ethnically an Arab, and we've even found evidence of Romans of East Asian descent.

Rome's military system, economy, and geopolitical strategy depended on its ability to integrate non-Romans into the empire, and at any given time at least half of its army was made up of non-Roman auxiliaries (Mary Beard, SPQR, ch. 4-5). By the age of Julius Caesar, most of Rome's citizens had non-Italian ancestry (Erich Gruen, The Last Generation of the Roman Republic, p. 360-361).

Rome had a lot of problems, and it was not progressive by modern standards, but it's impossible to separate the growth of the Roman empire from its immigration (including transport of slaves) and ethnic diversity.

#fun fact: the first non-italian emperor was actually trajan who was born in spain! #by which point even many senators spoke latin as their second language #gonna reblog this periodically just so people know where this blog stands #multiculturalism #jlrrt speaks #roman diversity #jlrrt essays

Rottmnt Leo headcannon

Leo starts ranting in Spanish. Once he’s overwhelmed and tired just something setting him off (invalidation of feelings, no one trusting him) he just starts ranting in Spanish. And Donnie only knows very few words in Spanish and can’t really follow but he gets the gist of it.

Just imagining him going

“!Pero no importa, ¿verdad? ¡Porque es Leo! ¡Porque el es el hijo más difícil! ¡Porque Leo es la problema! ¡Porque Leo sirve para nada! ¡Porque Leo es arrogante, es impulsivo, nunca piensa en los consecuencias! ¡No importa que tengo pesadillas, no importa como yo me siento porque no es importante!” Breathing heavily with tears in his eyes. “Leo tiene una sonrisa, el dijo una broma terrible, Leo está bien. No tenemos que preocuparnos de él. Tiene una sonrisa y se está riendo, no está afectado. Acabo que no mas quire el attention.” Whispers almost like a realization dawns on him, “Because it’s not about me, right? Because, it’s never been about me.”

Translation:

“But it doesn’t matter, right?! Because it's Leo! Because Leo has always been the most difficult child! Because Leo is the problem! Because Leo is useless! Because Leo is arrogant, impulsive, he never thinks of the consequences! It doesn’t matter that I have nightmares, doesn’t matter what I feel because it’s not important!”

“Leo is smiling, he told a terrible joke. He’s fine. We don’t need to worry about him, he’s smiling and laughing, he’s not affected. After all, he just wants attention.”

#rottmnt leo #rottmnt #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #any time he rants about his feelings it’s done in Spanish #rottmnt donnie #Donnie knows some Spanish but isn’t fluent #he understands some of what is said #knows the gist and tries to help #leo is fluent in Spanish because I’m a Spanish speaker and I say so #he just doesn’t speak Spain Spanish #i literally cannot see him using vosotros in a conversation #rottmnt leo angst
