Welcome to my Little Abode

1. Fuck it, it’s fiction

2. Let me look up real estate listings, so I can plot out subway routes and schedules and see if this walk really is long enough for them to have this conversation.

So I’m aware I haven’t really posted anything in a while but I hope this reaches someone. My brother’s name is Efren. Growing up he used to tease and make fun of me, but among all the teasing he also helped raise me along with our mom. When he was little he wanted to be an architect. But his is the story that a lot of Mexican American working class families face: either take the opportunities available to you to attain your dreams, or curtail those in order to take care of your family. He chose his family. After graduating high school he turned down full ride scholarships in order to stay and work to help pay the bills. It was just him, my mom, and me. After a couple of years we got stable enough economically that he was able to go to college, but after graduation we fell on hard times again and instead of finding work in his field or applying to architecture school like he always dreamed, he decided to stick around and help us again. It’s because of his choice to help our family that I was able to go to college too, something that for a time I didn’t think was possible. It’s because of him that I was able to apply to and get accepted into a PhD program in the hopes of becoming a professor. It’s because of him that my mom has a house to call her own. My mom and I owe him everything. Yesterday, he was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). He’s uninsured. I’m a student, our mom works in childcare. There’s a high success rate for remission if he gets treatment, but we can’t afford it. He’s all me and my mom have, and we can’t lose him. He chose family growing up, and it’s my turn to choose him. Please, any donation helps. I just want him to come home.

I know times are tough with covid and everything so if anyone could please just spare a dollar or a reblog thatd be great. I can’t lose him.

First off, thank y’all so so much for the generosity, advice, and kind words y’all have shared. I honestly thought this might get a couple hundred notes I didn’t know it would get over 12k!!!! I’m so incredibly thankful to everyone who’s reblogged and donated and messaged me. Y’all truly don’t know how much it means to me and my family.

Now I wanna post a couple updates here. A lot of y’all pointed out that hospitals should have financial aid or pointed out some charities that could help, and for that I’m very thankful. Yesterday we applied to the hospital financial aid but they told us that he likely only qualifies for a 50% discount on their sliding scale because of income. We’re incredibly thankful for that help of course, but 50% of $30k/month is still $15k/month for treatment. I also spent yesterday applying to different cancer charities and Catholic charities and Latino charities and government assistance but ofc cancer related assistance is in really high demand and a lot of charities are strained thin because of covid and people losing their jobs.

I’m incredibly grateful for y’all’s extreme generosity, so far through the gofundme, Venmo, cashapp, and PayPal we’ve received $8,327.64 and I’m absolutely blown away. I’m in tears writing this I didn’t know people could be so generous. I know times are tough with covid and a lot of families are going through the unimaginable. I don’t know how much more this post can circulate on tumblr, so now I’m just asking if y’all could do this:

Please spread this post and the gofundme link on your other social media.

I’ve made this post on Twitter that y’all can retweet (link) but I don’t have Instagram or Facebook or Reddit because I’m admittedly kind of a hermit. So I’m incredibly thankful for everything y’all have done, I’m just hoping that maybe some of y’all will spare a retweet or a repost and help get the word out to as many people as possible. Thank y’all. God bless.

VIRTUAL VILLAINOUS CONFERENCE - PIXELATL

There are A LOT more of images, check out the conference at the end of the post! Here’s the summary of what was said:

-The special event will happen earlier than expected! It will be the first thing to come out, before the actual episodes! It’ll be announced in CN’s social media accounts- both LATAM and USA!!!

-The characters were modified a little bit, as you can see in the reference sheets. Black Hat looks a lot darker now, I love it.

-The images you see above are concept arts of the upcoming episodes, we’ll see a lot of new places!

-They are going to introduce a lot of new characters, and they told us the name of a new hero (the buff guy), called OMEGA NUCLEAR.

-We’ll see a villain court!!

-The Hat Island ‘corrupts’ the sea, like it blackens it with evil, as we see in one of the images (check the vid for this one).

-Flug modified the ship after the fight with Sunblast.

-MISS HEED REVEAL. GO CHECK HER INSTAGRAM miss_heed  

-The hardest thing in the production of the first season was the COVID situation, because the voice actors couldn’t go to the studio and record their voices properly.

-505’s name is like that because it’s supposed to mean SOS.

-The main message that the show wants to give can’t be revealed yet. But one of the messages is that nothing’s black and white (except BH and 505), they want to show us that the villains aren’t all that bad (like Penumbra) and that they’re all grey, as well as the heroes.

-‘Will there be a recurrent hero in the series?’ ‘Wait and see’

-The release of the episodes is closer but they don’t want to give dates because COVID can set things back

Here’s the link of the conference recorded by @loliko-s-madness!

MOUSTACHE BLACK HAT MWHAHAHA

English ver.

Oh no.

You evil motherf***er.

I did not expect that.

I do believe this is the better route tought, even if we end up with not seeing Black Hat during an entire episode. If he starts showing up too much CartoonNetwork might want to make BH more Family Friendly and I do not want to see this awful, evil creature being transformed into a poney ,-,
