make him australian with sam reid playing him.

tip 1) offer your son to fly from La Guardia to CDMX together as a kindness even though you know he said he’d be going with his roommate and/or boss and/or its-complicated-ma-por-favor-solo-drop-it-okay? friend

tip 2) pretend to understand what the mini smirk he made after you said they’d “fly together” meant and don’t bring it up later to spare him the emotional face journey 

tip 3) pretend to act pleasantly surprised when the other two góticos your son hangs out (or lives?) with are also there

tip 4) genuinely act surprised when the goth couple bring a baby with them. 

tip 4.5) don’t ask why the baby looks so much like their missing roommate (nor why he’s missing in the first place; you wouldn’t put murder past either of them)

tip 5) borrow your sister’s baby stroller and try to find some time to buy the baby some clothes as you think that, while the victorian aesthetic looks nice, that baby carrier looks like it was actually made in the era and will most certainly not survive one more rock-ridden road

tip 6) when they actually arrive at abu tita’s house, let the party of old emos + your son set up camp in the small cellar - remember to ask el tío to help them move the huge wooden boxes they brought with them downstairs. don’t complain when they  ““party”” so hard they don’t come out of there until after the sun has gone down every. single. day of the trip

tip 7) while you get the dinner table ready with the finest silverware you can find, make sure to introduce the nice greek lady and her husband to the most annoying man you have ever met (El Jorge, menace to all in your corner of Valle) in hopes she can do something about it. What? They got rid of their other insufferable roommate, maybe they can work their magic here too

tip 8) let them drink the agua de jamaica your son brought out for his guests instead of serving them any of the homemade enchiladas and freshly spiced chapulines and don’t let anyone else at the table drink from it because he says the (thicker and blood red-er than usual) concoction is spiked with prescribed supplements and iron his buddies just have to take - can’t you see their pale skin? poor sick babies

tip 8.5) don’t put up much of a fight when the husband straight up snarls at your suggestion to go sunbathing in the field next morning - its not at you directly, you know they don’t even leave their own house much so its not so surprising

tip 9) throw a wet towel over your son’s boyfriend’s (”no es mi novio, ma!” yea, right) head when he starts smoking (literal smolder) in the middle of prayer during grace - that long hair of his must’ve gotten caught on the Jesus candle he’s been slowly trying to push off the table for the last 10 minutes

tip 10) pointedly ignore how the doll that looks just like her owner and is most definitely moving by itself knocks over the small wooden baby Jesus next to it on the shelf when its namesake starts hissing at the offending object (next to their wall of crucifixes, no less)

tip 11) get another wet towel for when she also inevitably catches on fire

tip 12) shut the door tight when, as you were bringing him his milk with cinnamon for the night, you see your son and his beau lowly murmuring to each other as one brushes the other’s hair. he can always have his milk in the morning. 

tip 12.5) actually leave from the downstairs' cellar’s doorway when you hear the 3rd verse of the lullaby you taught your son begin to be more yawns than notes

oh boy oh boy, do i have a List for you...

but first things first: i won't be including artists who draw piper and hazel with light eyes. i know that's an issue that's still being heavily debated between fans of colour but i personally have been an open supporter of hazel + piper = brown eyes for years now, so. yeah... anyway!

(disclaimer: some of these artists are no longer active in the fandom but i'm tagging and rec'ing them anyway bc their works are 1. fantastic, and 2. great references for anyone who's trying to improve their own art and ways on not whitewashing characters of colour, so by all means do take a look around their work! it'll be 110% worth it!)
