For those who don't know, in 1948, the U.S. passed a law that made it illegal for Puerto Ricans to own/display their flag. It was called the "Gag Law", which wasn't repealed until 1957.
This video shows an act of solidarity w/ Palestinians who can't wave their flag right now 🇵🇸
During tonight’s Pro-Palestine rally in front of Puerto Rico’s Capitol, a USA flag was removed and replaced with a Palestinian flag. 🇵🇸♥️ (creds.

"You think a lot of people are gonna yuckin' bid for YOU? WHAT MAKES YOU SO YUCKIN' SPECIAL?! Y'know what? I'll bring $200, 'cause I can't see you being worth more than that."
~ 3 months later ~
"I got a lot to lose now. They're threatening- they're gonna go for my heart here."
"... which resulted in Chatty hitting her with a wrench."
"Hitting Gigi?"
"With a wrench, yeah."
"Like a prank typa situation?"
APRIL GETS CLOWN STUFF UNBELIEVABLY COMMON APRIL W
Chatty telling Ray that falling in love with her felt like drowning in the light she radiates hits different when you remember that he used to be terrified of flashlights.
Taco: FUCK THE CLOWNS
Chatty: "CG" STANDS FOR "CLOWN GANG!!"
Vinny: Chatterbox, I'm gonna say no...
Chatty: NEVERMIND CG STANDS FOR CHANG GANG
Chang Gang girly being in love with a clown was the best plot twist the server needed in 4.0, these people keep it fun ❤️
"I forgot I didn't have to down him to rob him, now I feel bad 🥺"
"YOU COULD'VE JUST ASKED ME TO GIVE YOU THE PHONE!! I WOULDA GAVE YOU THE YUCKIN' PHONE!!!!"
Had me in tears last night 😂
Solavellan this, Solavellan that, but I'm also very excited to see how "the Inquisitor is connected to Solas" applies to him when they were friends! Or better yet, if the Inquisitor HATED Solas 😭
Ray and April solved the house problem and didn't get so much as a "thank you" for it.
CG was the problem, but the benefit of CG connections was the solution, when they had nothing to do with the situation.
They were used for what they have. AGAIN.
THE WORST POV OMG
He hears his daughter's friends yelling at her to put clothes on, she yells back she's got 'em on, Chatty makes the biggest mistake of his life by SPEAKING, and then they both walk up the stairs together 🧍♀️ Without context THIS IS HORRENDOUS XBXBZJXNX
Chatty: Mr. K... what's going on here man?
K: What do you mean?
Chatty: *tells K about the supposed agreement between BBMC and CG that the deal w/ the clowns is off*
K: WTF is you talking about?
'Nuff said LMFAOOOOO
Viewers who only know Ray from 4.0 don't understand why Vinny adopting Ray is so important to both of them. They haven't had many moments together since 4.0 started. This will open so many more opportunities for interactions 🥺 it's been a long time coming.
@userbfIy
I'm livid, like... when I was 10 years old, Alexandria D'addario not having blonde hair in the first movie bothered me. I'm a 22 yo woman now, we're all adults!!!! I don't see how people have the audacity to look at this girl - who Rick himself casted - and says she isn't enough.
Ray: I'M SAAAAVED *immediately runs back into the elevator*
Chatty: *life flashes before his eyes*
This was my favorite moment from today 💀 I was in stitches when he started shrieking, mans voice went up 3 octaves.
One of the things that gags me the most? K and Ramee almost treated this like it was something she kept from CG, when they were the only people who didn't know 😭
I can't think of a single CG person outside of them who didn't know she was close to the clowns 🧍♀️
Ray Mond has never said those words in this context before. Never in her LIFE.
WE STILL WON, I DON'T CARE
THAT WAS CUTE AS YUCK
SHE'S GROWING MORE CONFIDENT, JUST GIVE HER TIME
If you had told 3.0 Ray Mond that she'd have a boyfriend who she'd give $30K to, leaving herself only with just over $1000, she would've laughed in your face before swinging a hammer against your skull.
But that she didn't think twice about it bc she wanted to help him? Man ;-;
My take? CG has every right to be wary, and I understand K's position as a leader. But he should've talked to her. This isn't the first time they've meddled with an outside relationship that had nothing to do w/ gang shit, and not the first time they've thrown her under the bus.
Also a good demonstration of CG Ray walking away from her friend - a man who she'd had listed as "bestie" on her phone - as he was about to be shot simply because of what he said.
She let her friend get shot + called him a dumbass. And y'all thought she was gonna defend Hazel 💀
The one thing that I noticed about the return of CG Mond? Her lack of liveliness.
The point of "Hiccups" is that she's Ray, uninhibited. Ray Mond without Cups is merely a soldier. Not someone who would've chased after Hutch, or annoyed Ramee w/ K over the "waspseses" bit.
Sidenote, Ember tackling Chatty after he downed Ray is the most precious thing I've ever seen 🥺😭
I often think about how differently characters react to similar situations. Ember has every reason to think badly of Ray, like Bon Bon does. But that's her clown sister ;-;
Chatty: Oh yeah, guess what!
Ray: CG got a new house.
C: Did they get it in Little Seoul?
R: Mmhmm.
C: Maybe the Cubby might come back. Your old playing field.
Man something about this clown and how much he supports her gang life when he hates her gang is just so 😭😭😭😭😭
Anyone who didn't get to watch the initial "clown hunt" for Ray Mond after Chatterbox prank called her on her birthday, missed out. It was immediately after Rae OOC said she wanted drama, it was legitimately terrifying... Pico crawling down the stairs in the apartments... CINEMA
This law is why you see 🇵🇷 in every PR community, why we are so loud about wearing our flag. I did not learn about this history until some years ago, so my pride was pride for my culture in a general sense. Little did I know that I was always honoring my heritage & my history.
Rae: "I just feel like Chatterbox has been the PERFECT person for Ray Mond. Like, it's HARD to deny that... It's just perfect. The two characters mesh so well together."
ROLL CREDITS 🥹
What gets me is that he's so serious about Chatterbox being his new brother. Before, it was funny to troll around about a "Chatterray wedding", but Yuno knows the relationship is serious bc it became an actual relationship. And he likes Chatty. He's happy he has a new brother 🥺
Idk what's funnier, Chatty frantically turning the steering wheel as he begs Ray to hand him keys, the local that got run over, Chatty being pulled out of the car, Ray yelling if he got the keys as he's fighting for his life, or Ray offering bandages for Chatty's broken leg 😭😭
Something about today that I loved? Ray didn't hesitate to tell Vinny how good Chatty treats her. He doesn't have anything good to say about Chatterbox, he might not even approve of this relationship, but he heard her say that and had no objections. I loved that.
"I'm gonna meet up with Zaceed, and then there's a Club Club race, d'you wanna go to that?"
"No, I'm gonna continue selling."
"Oh 🙁"
Guys, the obstacle in their relationship wasn't Bon Bon/BBMC, Mr. K/CG, or her roommates/clowns stirring... it was Grinder Mond herself 😭
Ray thinks the Ember pics are real, Chatty calls everyone on his phone to clear his name. Kidnaps her to talk privately, takes her to Ember, Ray gets hurt. Goes to the ICU. He rages/attacks everyone in sight. Isn't allowed to see her. Is in prison overnight, still can't see her.
I cannot believe I haven't seen anyone share this one yet.
Top 5 ensemble song, Top 5 Finchel "duet", and easily my favorite performance of Cory's ❤️ I get chills every time I watch this.
"Okay, so where do you stand?"
"Well I WAS standin' at her hospital bed 'fore someone started gettin' smart with me."
I love Kirk so fucking much man 😭
So... when we all suspected the person standing under the waterfall was watching Sooty and Ray have their convo in the park... we were right?
That means the mimes really HAVE had all eyes on everyone, they just haven't been caught 98% of the time. Wild.
@userbfIy
The feelings that I had when Reyna joined the Heroes of Olympus team, and I found out she was Puerto Rican, and Rick included names of foods, places, even the national animal of PR, I cried. People of color need and deserve this representation.
Ray speaks a language & deals with problems the way CG & the clowns do. She doesn't know how to do things "normally". They can't handle her. This is why her other friend groups are just as important in her life.
I don't think Ray Mond is complete without all parts of her secure.
Every day I understand more and more what Chatterbox kept telling Ray in the beginning of the year, about the expectations that clowns are always the bad guys and the people to blame for everyone's problems 😮💨 it is HARD being a clown stan, for yuck's sake.
"Okay, hold on, hold the fuckin' phone here. There's NO way y'all just sit here and let this happen."
"EXCUSE ME?! This is YOUR problem. What do you mean, 'not let this happen', I'm not responsible for your issues."
@nintendency
@fagsforloona2
"anarchist" approaches and tactics scare people lmaoo
I used to be scared of them, until I did my research. They've done a lot of good things, both in and out of the public eye, and are indeed very cool 😭
April just broke up with Bon Bon REAL 😟
(she told him bedtime stories aren't happening anymore until the beef between him and Ray is over for a long time)
I'm dontl't like that April has seen and heard about "Chatterray" less than any of Ray's other girl friends, but she's the only one who doesn't immediately question whether Chatty still wants to hurt Ray 🧍♀️ I don't know what the other girls aren't seeing :/
"assuming shit" MY BROTHER IN CHANG, YOU NEVER INFORMED HER OF A PROBATION 😭😭😭 thank God I'm going into work rn because I don't have the heart for this.
She was stalked + set up, stabbed + bandaged up, weeping, was emotionally driven to shoot 2 people down... and when she was asked where she wanted to go to be safe, she wanted to go where he was 😭 I can't get over it, I will never get over it.
I honestly think that today proved that a push from your friends is what you need to help you realize you're missing out on learning what you're capable of.
I know some of you wanna be mad that Zolo supposedly didn't respect that Ray said "no"...
... and yet, Hacker Mond.
Yesterday showed me that Chatterbox and Ray Mond truly are cuts of the same cloth, because WDYM Ray needed to be there to solve GH problems??? WDYM she's making phone calls to the people involved to get all sides of the story + already knows how she's gonna solve the problem? 😭
A lot of y'all don't have faith in our girl. I don't see Ray spending her time making Chatty's current situation all about her & her abandonment issues.
If anything, I see Ray being pissed off and determined to help him and any of her friends who need help.
