Everyone not giving One Last Stop the same hype as Red, White & Royal Blue is lesbophobic and don’t @ me you just are.

It was just as good, and perhaps even better considering how much Casey’s writing has grown.

But ignoring the story just because it’s two women that you can’t fetishize is inexcusable.

Eva Longoria is everything

dabeatnik

Yet she can’t even speak Spanish 😂😅😂😅😂

That’s pride alright lmfao

She don’t have to, but don’t talk all that shit if you don’t even learn your own culture #lame

tina-belcher

you were saying @dabeatnik???

thecrackshiplollipop

ummm

“When I was growing up, my parents spoke to each other in Spanish, but they didn’t speak to us in Spanish because they were told not to. In school we weren’t allowed to speak it.”

and also???

“… But America is the only country that promotes monolingualism. Here it’s English, English, English. Every other country makes their children learn a second language very early on. So as my political and social activism grew, I was like, ‘I really need to learn Spanish.’ So I did.“

idk how many people i’ve known growing up in texas whose parents speak fluent spanish but they don’t speak a lick solely because their parents were afraid or told not to teach their children. it’s unspeakably common and doesn’t in any way shape or form diminish someone’s claim to or pride in their heritage.

fuck that guy. you go eva.

rue-withadifference

lack of intergenerational language exchange is one of the leading causes of language death for endangered and indigenous languages because of this culture of shame attached to “lesser” coded languages so frankly if yr mocking people for not speaking their mother tongue without taking the colonial reasons for this into account, you’re an ignorant prick and you can go fuck yourself like

We are going to bake a rainbow cake!

darkmagicpracticioner

Can you teach us how to bake one??

prideknights

Of course! But keep in mind, this is only our second attempt!

For the cake we are going to bake, you will need the following:

prideknights

Step 1) Put the sugar and butter into a bowl and mix together until smooth.

prideknights

Step 2) Mix the eggs and the vanilla extract into the mixture until combined.

[Here you see Pride Knight Roderick cracking an egg]

god-is-an-alpaca

A one-handed egg crack and baking while wearing helmets…absolute legends

prideknights

After seeing Wizard Howl cracking eggs with one hand in Howl’s Moving Castle, I just had to practice it!

Step 3) Mix the flour into the mixture until combined. Then separate the mixture equally into six different bowls. After this, put food colouring into it. You don’t need too much of it! (We used about half a teaspoon of each colour) Then stir the colours into the mixture.

prideknights

Step 4) Grease up some sandwich tins (we used 20cm/8 inch ones) and put one of the coloured mixtures into it. We used two sandwich tins at a time because we could only fit two tins onto a single tray in the oven. You don’t want to put the tins onto different trays because they will cook at different speeds. Then put the tins with the mixture into the middle of the oven at 160°C or 320°F for 15 minutes, swapping each colour out until you have them all done.

Step 5) Once they come out of the oven, you’ll have cakes that look like the photo below! Don’t be worried if your cake looks a bit discoloured, it’s normal as the cake baked while touching the metal tin. We used a bowl as a template to cut around the cake to make it a bit smaller and to show off the vibrant colour!

prideknights

Step 6) Now lets make the icing! Mix 350g (1.5 cups) of butter, 700g (5.5 cups) of icing sugar, and 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract together with an electric whisk until nice and smooth. Be careful, icing sugar can be messy!

Step 7) After the cakes have cooled off, place the first cake layer down (purple) and cover the top with icing. Next place the blue cake layer on top and again cover the top with icing. Repeat this step for all the colours, next placing green, yellow, orange, and then red. Finish this step by covering the whole cake with icing.
