Just a boy from Cuba

I was just wondering if the idea of warm and soft with a bit of " I'll smack ya if you're a fool" was worn out when it comes to lances mother. I don't wanna be too cliche and possibly insulting since a lot of Hispanic mothers are interpreted as that

hey all!! i just had a question about a throwaway line in a fic i'm writing that has do with lance's mom, if you're comfortable with me asking you all about it, could it ask it?

Hey, well first of all, this blog is amazing. I'm colombian, so i need to clarify this is not my first language. So, this is probably a senseless mess. Anyway, I love your HC's so much, especially that one where Lance's name is actually Leandro Alejandro Nuñez Cuesta Espinoza. And i need to ask if i can use it in my fanfic.

Do Cubans celebrate dia de muertos? I'm Mexican, and I'm a little curious and also want to know if my little fan art of Lance in skull candy makeup is ok.

Do you headcannon Lance as being from any province? I personally think he'd be from Matanzas, due to the fact Veradero Beach is there and he has mentioned going to that beach.

Idk if you've seen the clips from nycc, but there's one that shows Lance milking Kaltenecker super expertly. Do you think that his family might own a farm or ranch in Cuba?

in the surname page it says that sanchez was popularized by a harmful/racist fanfic, do you mind saying which fanfic it was to avoid it?

Do you mind spoilers? Because I had a question but it's spoilery.

Do you think Lance and his family would adhere to the trope where Latinx fix everything with food, or do you prefer to stay clear of stuff like that?

Do you spell the word "Acere" or "Asere"? I saw it in a post you reblogged as Asere, which is what I've been writing it as, but when I looked at a different list of Cuban slang it was spelled Acere.

Do you think Lance and his siblings would use Spanish less in casual conversation and more when he's surprised/angry/excited/preoccupied/around family? Like he'd sometimes use Spanish exclamations and/or swear in Spanish (coño, que carajo, etc.) more often than he'd say "that gato is cute" or something like that? (I'm just asking about Lance's characterization, I know lots of people drop Spanish words like that irl.)

Is "Carlos" a viable last name for Lance?

Yoooooo i took a vacay too!!!! ( to disneyland ) my fam was a little let down ;a; but it was fun~~~~!!!

hello just wondering, how do cubans do their quinceañeras? im mexican/honduran and im sure we don't do it the same and that there is culture differences between our traditions in quinces. I'm asking because i want some insight from you and because i have some lance headcanons that i wonder if they're accurate. Sorry if i bother you with this!

Is it okay to refer to Lance's mom as 'his mom' when talking about her outside of dialogue, but call her 'Mami' when he's directly speaking to or about her, like in dialogue? Example: 'In times like these, Lance always turned to his mom for advice.' and "Mami, what do you think I should do?" Lance asked.

Apologies if you've already covered this somewhere. I gathered that Lance would address his mum and dad as Mami and Papi, but are there any affectionate terms that they might call him, as their child? Wanted for a scene in a fic I'm writing. Lance is talking with his mum and basically silently wishing he could stay a kid forever, safe with his mum, so if there's a common, everyday term that a parent might call their kid, that'd work well.

I'm writing a high school au where Lance and Pidge have to research a revolution. I was gonna have them research the Cuban revolution (which I researched, too) because Lance is Cuban, but now I'm wondering if that's kind of tokenism? I know many Cubans love and are proud of their culture, and Lance would be, too, but I can't tell if it seems forced. I don't want to be like those people who say, "making Lance, a Cuban character, seem Cuban is racist" but I don't want to force it on him, either.
