“Conciudadanos:- No vaciléis pues un momento: tomad las armas, arrojad del poder a los usurpadores, recobrad vuestros derechos de hombre libres y recordad que nuestros antepasados nos legaron una herencia de gloria que no podemos mancillar. Sed como ellos fueron: invencibles en la guerra, magnánimos en la victoria. —SUFRAGIO EFECTIVO, NO REELECCIÓN”
The maderist movement was the first, the one that started it all. Aiming for a nation where the voice of the people would finally be heard, a nation where the men in charge wouldn’t do just as they please, a nation with a true democracy.
The ideologies took the country by storm, and the uprisings gave way to big names such as Fracisco Villa in the north and Emiiano Zapata in the south. The promises of justice and equality would fuel the fire in the hearts of an enraged nation.
i read about that au of Manolo having to go to Spain leaving Maria and Joaquin in Mexico. I imagine Maria becoming a badass soldadera, and Joaquin becoming a sergeant or something. Joaquin is really impressed by Maria and he think she’s the strongest person ever and he wants to be like her but its all a secret. Maria turned into a soldadera to fight for her people and to show her father that she’s strong too. So, I imagined, what could have happened to Manolo while staying in Spain? Maybe his bullfighting practice got harder and harder until they forced him to kill a bull, or a few, without having the chance to escape or to retreat, so he did it and now he carries sadness shame and anger with him and he doesnt want to go back to mexico because he cant see maria in the eyes, he feels like his hands are covered in blood all the time so he avoids touching anyone, eventhough he wants to do something to be forgiven.
oops
Now that’s my kind of AU
…Soldaderas were members of the insurgent army. The Mexican army were serving under Díaz.
endarkculi: Well, now, I see that Scram has a new favourite. But the question is, has enough art of her been released by this point in order to make a suitably-sized dashboard spam?
if you pour anything but starter fluid or diesel on a fire, you deserve what happens to you
For real that can was about to explode. The flames caught the stream and it was heading into the canister, and since she poured so much out there’s plenty of air space so it wasn’t going to snuff itself out. This is how dumb fucks get seriously injured or worse.
Yeah man. She shoulda dumped a half gallon of ether on there.
