Yea; and since Im latin, and the music in the clubes is latin: so...1000% Zutara XD *fur standing on-end, squinty eyes* I'm so, so envious. The Latino culture is so beautiful and fun at the same time. It's also filled with loud Hispanics and crazy family gatherings. xD I speak from personal experience. Avatar definitely has an Asian flavour...I'm quite impressed with their persistence in using Chinese characters (traditional ones at that! ). I have still yet to work out what the exact characters for Ba Sing Se is though...despite knowing the meaning. It's definitely not pinyin...could be the old romanization. I didn't like how Katara and Toph were 'dolled' up in Ba Sing Se. Overdid it with the make-up wot? Manchurian noblewomen can look very beautiful. I've never liked that particular headress though. Sadly, I can only pick out a very few of the Chinese characters just from knowing a bit of kanji. >.< My only problem with Avatar is that when they named Momo, it was cute to those inside the studios who knew what it meant, but unless someone is familiar with Japanese or could exactly tell what Momo was eating, they wouldn't know what peach is. @karate: Eh...no sé...I'm not sure it would seduce Katara. I think she would more so take pity on him for the way he was raised. I mean...you should feel at least a little sorry for him because his dad wasn't exactly Dad of the Year. >.<

The Latino culture is so beautiful and fun at the same time. If she didn't wear the eskimo furs, Katara looks exotic enough to be Latino? What do you think rocio?

Katara doesn't look latin american at all, the skin tone is wrong, it's closer to North African. :3 Though her culture is based on the Inuit. *Mexican* Crazy family gatherings... XD You can so say that again.

Crazy... but sometimes fun! But yeah, there's the crazy, too. So how many people here in the Catacombs have Latin ancestry? Seems like there are a lot of us!

Hmm, I'm pretty sure I don't have any Latin background at all =O But anyways, I wanted to ask if I could make the next Catacombs (unless someone else has already asked). XD

I don't think anyone's asked yet, Luna I'm pretty sure that I don't have any Latin American heritage, either. Pity, because I love their culture. All I've got is Scottish, German, & a teensy bit of Cherokee Indian blood

^^^Very cool, Luna! I'm half Puerto Rican myself. And I can't believe it's almost time for another Crystal Catacombs! ETA: If you need any links to new fics or art for the main page of the next Catacombs, let me know and I'll PM them to you.

It's ok Para, I do feel sorry. It's just when I wrote that, I was reading a little bit from Shakespeare's Othello. And well since I was reading the part on when Othello seduced Desdimona by telling her stories of his adventures, well I got a little bit goofy. Sorry. Lo siento. @luthian: Oh craptacutlar! I don't have any Latin ancentry in me. But I have English, Scottish and Polish blood in me. Heck the only kind of blood in me that I even remotly take pride in is my Polish blood. But istead of learning Polish, I would rather speak Russian. I'm more of a Russian then a Polish person. Despite the fact that I don't come from Russia and I don't have Russian blood in me. And yes I think that Latios are fun really. They like to dance, sing, god they dance so fine! It's too bad the only good Latio friend I have lives in Mexico. Gosh Darn it anyways! Oh well, but I don't have any close Latio friends in America. And I'm also trying to learn Spanish too. And being at the forum helps a lot, due to the fact there is more than one person who knows Spanish. My Spanish isn't very perfect or fluent, but it's the best I can do for now. So if anyone needs help on Spanish, don't hesitate to ask here! After all, La vida Latia es muy caliente!

Why do you think we don't celebrate Columbus day? At least not in Mexico where we're pretty close to our Native American ancestry. Though really and funnily enough, I'm more Basque than anything else, roughly 3/5. Back on topic: We only have a page or so left until we get a new topic! :3
