Yeah! I think he'd have a slight accent. Overall, Hadel is more comfortable speaking Spanish than English. He tends to connect to people who speak Spanish as well (it's kind of a small reoccurring factor in his life) such as Jahlil. Ryu also knows some Spanish- enough to understand it, while having a hard time repeating it back. Sonja speaks Spanish fluently as well which means a lot of their arguments / the emotional conversations especially might happen in Spanish. Hunter also knows and initially spoke Spanish (Hunter has more of a Mexican dialect while Hadel's is Chilean; the other's aren't clear and I'd write them more as like, general Spanish?). There is a scene when he's talking about Hadel to a customer and Hadel's just like. "I can understand you, asshole."

Only things I have so far..

Like in canon, Hadel is being abused and groomed by his adopted mom's boyfriend around the age of 12 (which puts him in year 1 of middle school).

Luca is a middle school teacher, who recognizes that Hadel is being abused and wants to take it into his own hands to save him (feeling doubly connected to him because he's blank, like in canon). Thinking about Hadel's abuse triggers him due to his own childhood abuse, which is probably why he feels soo... entitled? To take care of it himself rather than reporting it in like, a backwards way.

Luca is generally more creepy here than in canon (he kinda has to be for obvious reasons LMAO).

He essentially kidnaps Hadel on occasion. He frames it like he has a daughter and that Hadel often likes to spend the night at his home in order to have play dates and sleepovers.. or something like that, probably.

Ig an important side mention is Lu never fucks Hadel here, until he's 15 at least. For many reasons, but they do cuddle and kiss and touch a little. After their first kiss, Hadel asks if Luca is his boyfriend, and he says yes.

That's all I have set in stone really, not sure if he'll like outright kidnap him or eventually call CPS on Hadel's home (since Toluca is neglectful while, obviously, her boyfriend is abusive, that would make it so they no longer have custody and Lu could probably swoop in and adopt him as Hadel would officially become like, an orphan / foster child, just not entirely sure how to write it realistically).

Maybe they were insecure over the fact that they do get off to paraphilic art and took me clarifying I don't (when let me point out, this was someone directly accusing me of getting off to art) was like, some kind of challenge?? Or them taking it as me saying that makes me a better person? Which is never a point I've ever tried to make.

I've said countless times before that I don't care if people do. That's what art therapy is for, man. But I personally, an asexual, do not want to be associated with jerking off to things I'm not even into, and the idea I should shut the fuck up about the fact I don't get off feels like them saying I should shut the fuck up about being ace, it reads as aphobic to me.
It doesn't feel unreasonable for me to point that out? Like just because I correct someone over something I don't do, doesn't mean I hate people who do it. That's the fuckin, "I don't like pancakes." "Oh, so you hate waffles?" bullshit LMAO

And I explained in my server last night how I feel that for some antis, getting rid of their toxic behavior starts will baby stepping into discomfort, which might include realizing there are profic people like them. Like, me, who doesn't have the big paraphilias, and is ace, and even profic people who are uncomfortable with certain depictions in art but don't harass people over it regardless. It's not wrong to be open about the fact I'm a proshipper and support paraphiles but that I personally don't get off to the things I draw or see despite that.

Idk, I really don't know why they took it so offensively. Really weird thing to get offended over.

OC Luca and Hadel are super distant cousins, not cos the incest factor (though that could be a bonus for other people ig), but because I needed to find a reason why there would be so many Blank families in one place when Blank critters are supposed to be insanely rare to ever see just one of (there are FIVE families of Blanks in Pebble- Jun's mother's, Jun's fathers, Celine's, Lyle/Hadel's, and the Whites).

Fixed the issue by deciding Lyle is somehow super distantly related to Sr and all, which makes Luca and Hadel some form of v v v distant cousins, however they don't actually know this themselves since Lyle, Lyle's dad, and Lyle's granddad separated from the White family like forever ago. Excommunicated over some kind of difference in life style or something, and Lyle and his part of the family just never kept up with theirs so they might as well be strangers / separate families atp.

In the same regard, Jun and Celine are also likely distantly related somehow.

Of course he is, he just doesn't register himself as traumatized by Luca, both because he doesn't understand when he's having a traumatic response, and because his trauma from both Hunter and Tul's boyfriend were much worse / more straightforward, so he assumes most of his panics n all stem from those situations.. Also he doesn't want to acknowledge any harm caused by Luca because by the end of it, he's genuinely convinced he needs Lu around and that he can't function in a relationship with anyone else. He's also pretty sure that if he were traumatized by Luca, then he'd absolutely want nothing to do with him, so his lingering feelings enable him to excuse and continue their relationship.

He can get really touch repulsed and avoidant when it comes to Luca, but it comes in waves when he's having a depressive low. If he's low and feeling this way, he can get super snappy at Lu and feel like he's being cornered and preyed on more often. Notably, he often has tactile psychosis that gives him panic attacks, where the. ? ?? touch pattern(?) resembles more how Luca touches him and not at all is reflective of his other abusers.

But there's a lot more subtitles like just his general behavior around Lu n all. Their end dynamic was crafted from Luca. Hadel has much less control than he thinks he does in their relationship in like, literally every way and still doesn't entirely realize it.
