âHiro Hamada no llegĂł a ser el hĂ©roe que debiĂł haber sido, y Miguel Rivera no volviĂł a casa antes del amanecer. Un par de muchachos que no se conocieron en vida, se encuentran devastados por su pasado y para dejar de ahogarse en esas memorias tendrĂĄn que firmar un trato con su propia sangre.â
[Casi todas las ilustraciones que usé en Sofocantes Mentiras, y un poco de historia detrås de esto que nadie me pregunto]
âHiro Hamada didnât become the hero he was meant to be, and Miguel Rivera couldnât get back home before the sunrise. Two boys that never met in life are devastated for their past, and to not drown in those memories theyâll have to sing a contract with their own bloodâ
[Almost every illustration I used in âSofocantes Mentirasâ (Suffocating Lies), and some story behind itâs progress nobody asked for]
Es el primer fanfic que he escrito. En 2018, tenĂa pensado contar esta historia en base a mini comics, pero quise darle la oportunidad a la escritura, ya que, jamĂĄs habĂa intentado escribir una historia antes.
This is the first fanfic I have ever wrote. Back in 2018, I thought of telling this story through mini comics, but I wanted to give a try on writing, ÂŽcause I have never wrote a story before.
El Juego / The Game (this is just the name of the chapters these images are from)
âKokkuri-San, Kokkuri-San, if you are here, please move this coinâ
Diseño de Kokkuri / Kokkuriâs design
Me tomĂ© mi tiempo para retomar este proyecto, ya que en 2019 tenĂa trabajo y luego empecĂ© a estudiar, pero en verano del 2020, en plena cuarentena y sin lugar a donde ir, me puse a desarrollar la historia que ya tenĂa pensada y hasta añadir otros personajes que no habĂa tomado en cuenta.Â
I took my time to retake this project, ÂŽcause in 2019 I had a job and started to study, but in summer of 2020, in the middle of the quarantine and had nowhere to go, I begin to develop the story I had in mind and even add other characters I didnât consider.
El Cuento Del Niño MĂșsico / The Tale Of The Musician Child
El 24 de septiembre del 2020 publiqué el prólogo en Wattpad, era corto y estaba ilustrado en dibujos de papel y låpiz. Hasta el 4 de Octubre fue que subà el primer capitulo, ilustrado con los dibujos en digital que hice en 2018.
On September 24th, 2020 i uploaded the Prologue in Wattpad, it was short and illustrated with traditional art. Until October 4th I uploaded the first chapter, illustrated with digital art I made back in 2018.
Y asĂ, (casi) cada jueves y domingo de cada semana desde Octubre hasta Diciembre, subĂa nuevos capĂtulos, algunos ilustrados, otro no⊠pero procurĂ© que no faltaran capĂtulos.
And then, (almost) every Thursday and Sunday, every week from October to December, there was a new chapter, some illustrated, some wasnât⊠but I always get to deliver every episode.
CĂłmo pueden ver, en algunos capĂtulos no tenĂa algo preparado y hacĂa bocetos rĂĄpidos, mientras que en otros habĂa algo como estoâŠ.
As you can see, in some chapters didnât I had something prepared so I made quick sketches, while in others there was something like thisâŠ.
Miguel estå muerto y Hiro lo ve mayormente en sus sueños (al menos al principio). Este comic corto es uno de los sueños.
Miguel is dead and Hiro sees him mostly in dreams (at least at the beginning). This short comic is one of those dreams.
Como mencionĂ©, hubieron muchos cambios en la historia que tenĂa pensada, y uno de esos cambios fue Megan Cruz, personaje de Grandes HĂ©roes: La Serie. Por su apariencia semejante a Miguel, actitud amistosa y sus habilidades de detective, fue tanto un nuevo obstĂĄculo como un nuevo aliado para Hiro en la historia.Â
As I mentioned, there was a lot of changes in the story I already had, and one of those changes was Megan Cruz, character from Big Hero Six: The Series. For her similar appearance to Miguel, friendly attitude and detective skills, she become a new obstacles and as well, a new ally to Hiro in the story.
The whole story is only in Spanish, so Iâll tell a âshort versionâ of it in EnglishâŠÂ
So, this is a âBad En Auâ where Miguel died and couldnât save HĂ©ctorâs memory, meanwhile Hiro lost his friends and killed Callaghan. Both of them want to compensate their mistakes.
Miguelâs body basically disappeared, so his family doesnât know heâs dead and think he just escape to become a musician (just like HĂ©ctor). And Miguel is trying to get to the land of the living just to let them know he died and say âgoodbyeâ, with the help of La Catrina (the Death) who feels remorse for his destiny.
A 14 year old Hiro accidentally killed his own friends, he was so into murdering Callaghan that he didnât notice Baymax âtook careâ of them, violently. Now, a 19 year old Hiro, is filled with regret and sorrow for what he did. He didnât went to college, he doesnât have big goals, he just wants to get out of his auntâs home.
¿De Qué Me Perd� / What Did I Miss?
One day, in act of boredom, Hiro plays âKokkuri-Sanâ, he didnât know itâll work but in the moment the spirit talked back to him, he knew he could communicate again with his late brother. So Kokkuri made a deal with him, âhe would get to say goodbye to his brother only if he helps another lost soul to do the sameâ (of course Miguel)
Viejos Amigos / Old Friends
So, now Hiroâs soul is chained to some dead kidâs soul, and he mostly sees Miguel in his dreams and hears his voice when heâs awake, but as much time it takes and how emotionally close they get to each other, Miguel became more present, and this takes a lot of Hiroâs energy and sanity, to the point he decides to ends his own life.Â
Sad, but, thatâs the point of the story, itâs sad. Well, bittersweet because they became friends in the afterlife, so, âyayâ I guess.
Nostalgia Ajena / Unaffiliated Nostalgia
Hiro (when he was alive) did help Miguel with his final purpose, he went to Santa Cecilia and found Miguelâs actual body, so his family get to know what actually happened to him. It was devastating, but it brought some peace to the Rivera family.Â
But it wasnât the only thing Hiro did for Miguel. With the help of Megan and Marcoâs support, they get to reveal that Ernesto stole HĂ©ctorâs songs and even murder him, with new evidence and the message that Miguel Rivera disappeared trying to reveal this.
And THAT WASNâT THE LAST THING HE DID.
Hiro did not only ended his life because of him, but for Miguel. Miguel wouldnât be free if he was still alive.Â
He also made a deal with Kokkuri, that if he gets to make Hiro kill himself, Miguel could posses his corpse to say goodbye to his family. Miguel get to know Hiro and refuse to accomplish his part of the deal, but Hiro did it anyways.
Hiro did for Miguel what he couldnât do for his old friends. And he KNOWS that wonât change or erase what he did in the past, but it gave him some peace at least.
23 capĂtulos programados para fechas especificas, para que la historia terminase el 31 de diciembre de ese mismo año. Pero no fue hasta hace unos meses (08 de Noviembre del 2022) que finalmente publiquĂ© el epilogo, cerrando con un final un tanto agridulce pero mĂĄs completo para mis perturbados niños.
23 chapters scheduled to specific dates, so the story ends in the very December 31th of that same year. But it wasnât till some mouths ago (November 8th, 2022) that I posted the Epilogue, closing the story with a bittersweet but complete final for my unsettled bois.
Los Promos del Epilogo / The Promos for the Epilogue
Y he de admitir que no es mi mejor historia, es la primera que he escrito, cuenta con un montĂłn de errores gramĂĄticos, a veces cambiaba el rumbo de la historia cuando NO DEBĂA y tiene uno que otro agujero narrativo por eso, pero a pesar de ello, me enorgullece, le puse mucho esfuerzo a cada capitulo, tanto escribiĂ©ndolo como ilustrĂĄndolo.
Gracias por leer toda esta madresota.
And I have to admit that this isnât my best story, it was the first one, filled with a ton of gramatical mistakes, sometimes I changed the way of the story even If I SHOULDNâT and it has some plot holes for it, but still, Iâm proud of this, I put so much effort in every chapter, writing it and illustrating it.
Thank you for reading all this stuff.
