Let’s form Voltron…?

I have seen many fans in the fandom h/c Lance as latino, which is great!

Yet as latina myself I’d like to maybe give authors who write this specific h/c into their stories a little advice: 

You do not need to make Lance say some random spanish word every time he speaks (more specifically, at the end of every sentence.) 

Sometimes it almost feels like they are trying to prove he’s latino during every single sentence and that’s not how latinxs speak. Some latinxs don’t even know a word in spanish, doesn’t make them any less latinx.

Is almost like reading a Pitbull song. For me, reading Lance go “I’m ready to go get wasted, mis amigos!” is basically like reading “Lance thought Keith looked very kawaii and wished with all his kokoro he would soon fall in love with him." 

It’s a bit…yeah. I think just mentioning he’s latino is enough, even adding in the description about Lance speaking on the phone with his mom in spanish is good, say that he really likes certain latin food for breakfast also works (but not always tacos and burritos, there are other countries besides Mexico and other latin dishes as well).

Oh! and  dirty talk in spanish? Horrible, 99% of latinxs hate it because it sounds horribly tacky, is nothing like dirty talking in english, believe me. It’s a nightmare. I wouldn’t recommend Lance dirty talking anybody in spanish during sex. 

Form Voltron It’s not the best looking but it was fun to do
