#All my years being Brasilian and for what.

[bootdork]

Okay, reaching out because I've exhausted all my ideas @mothercain.

At the very end of Ptolomaea, you can hear what sounds like a man speaking Portuguese saying "Ligue para... um oito oito oito, nove nove nove, sete quatro oito oito" which translates to "Call 1-888-999-7488". Me, @uglymothwife, and @snaileggs have tried to figure out what this number means but we've just found that it might be a debt collection agency based in America, and it might just be some guy who lives in California.

What is this? Is it just some random radio noise? Help.

[tokuvivor]

[pommunist]

If I can vent for a second I know this isn’t helping anyone and that jealousy has never solved anything but I can’t help but be a little upset at how quickly the French were brushed past. Like for months pomme has been gone, dapper has been gone, most of the French ccs and audience have been gone but oh now that Chayanne and Lulluah are gone NOW it’s over. NOW we’re packing up. Like it’s BEEN over. The way my jaw dropped when I saw the bunny tell Phil he should get help from aypierre to save HIS eggs knowing pomme was never coming back like are you serious? But oh now that Chay and Lul have gotten to wrap things up on their own terms now we can leave. The favoritism in the community is one of the things that frustrated me the most this past year. Anyway sorry for this lmaooo didn’t mean to barge in

i had a similar anon yesterday im gonna link it here

I guess some of it comes from the fact that the few that were still here are now gone too, making it feels more final. Before some probably thought « oh these people/characters are gone but hey there are still X and Y that are here ! » coupled with the facts that those who were gone also happened to be some of the less popular/with the less vocal fans.

in any case, while we can be a bit salty over it, let’s remember that all the issues the qsmp and its community are facing are NOT these people’s fault. lets not redirect our anger towards them ! better stick together in adversity 🫶

but hey yippeeee for the french being ignored being the single most consistent bit of qsmp lore \o/

well this and the brasilians catching always catching strays ;-;

[maikissed]

sweet feelings

Richarlison x reader

Hi, hello. Soooo I’ve written something and wanted to share. Maybe it will come to your liking. I write stuff from time to time but mostly in my mother language and english is not my first language so I'm very sorry for any misspelling and mistakes in my grammar :( I am a huge football fan and sometimes I just get inspired by those talented boys.

This one is for one of my favourite Brasilians. Hope it'll reach some audience. Let me know what you think and if you'd like a Part 2 ;)

warning: it's a bit smuttish, aaaaand i've never wrote a smut so I'm sorry for poor writing as well. friends to lovers trope bcuz i'm kinda a sucker for that :|

After the ceremony of The Best FIFA Football Awards, you and Richarlison both came back to your hotel around 2 am. You were feeling slightly tipsy, due to the few sweet and sour drinks you’ve had at the gala, so you kept smiling at your friend trying to convince him to carry you to your shared room.

„Now you’re just being whiny" he commented after letting you first into the lift.

Your legs were killing you after wearing high heels all night. You’d take them off right this moment if it weren’t for the lack of energy to actually bend down.

You sighed.

 „Are you dissapointed?”

„No, why would I be?” Richy answered looking in your direction.

„You were very excited about this ceremony. But it was nice of you to congratulate the winner"

You sent him a warm smile.

„It was a fun time anyway. Paris is pretty” he shrugged.

After entering the room you sat on the sofa right away, feeling tired. It was so calm, warm and quiet inside, the only sounds were coming from the outside, an urban tumult caused by passing cars and honks or police sirens. But it was just a distant noise that actually made you feel a bit more relaxed. Your dress started to feel too tight.

Richarlison sat on a little table that was right infront of you and took your left foot to place it on his knee. You smiled softly seeing him unfasten the clasp at your high heel sandals. Your thigh visibly bare due to the slit dress you were wearing.

„Are you upset that I didn’t join you on the carpet?” you asked before he took off your shoe completely and placed it gently next to the sofa.

You two weren’t a couple. You’ve known each other for almost 3 years now and have been spending a lot of time together lately. The moment you met something just clicked between you two and after some time you started to run into each other more often. In the second half of 2019 you were assigned to work in London and Liverpool, and since your work was associated with sports environment, football in general, you kept seeing him more during football matches or other sport events. At the time you met, Richarlison was in a relationship and you were too busy for any love interests. It was very casual in the begging until it wasn’t. For you at least. You were quite a distant person, always gatekeeping your emotions from showing too easily, your friends always said that you often come off as cold or blase even. It’s quite funny because you feel like you were the most sensitive and fragile person that could ever walk this earth and anyone could notice this if they’ve ever put more effort into it. There were times when you felt like Richarlison could actually read into you efforlessly and this relationship between you two have started to grow into something more tender. But it wasn’t love – rather lukewarm friendship.

You didn’t actually discuss the matter. You were convinced that showing up at the ceremony, with Richarlison holding you on his arm, will cause a fuss and gossips about you two being together will start to spread. Which wasn’t true. You weren’t a couple. Anyway you just couldn’t shake off the feeling that something have truly upset him tonight.

„No I am not, you had things to do. Besides… we agreed on that" he just shrugged being sure that you know what he was referring to.

After taking both of your shoes off he stood up and took his jacket off, hanging it over the sofa backrest and sat next to you.

He looked very handsome in the white shirt and black tie, you don’t get to see him dressed like that often. You enjoyed this look on him, however you didn’t get to tell him this openly, despite the fact that he’s been complimenting you at any chance he’s got. That was one of the main differences between you two, you generally were too nervous about this type of disclosure, when he in fact was immensely open and have never found it difficult to speak out whatever he truly wanted to say. You’ve always thought of him as of free spirit.

You rested your arm on the sofa to face him comfortably.

„Then what is it?” you asked.

He sat the same way like you and smiled gently.

„Nothing much” Richy wiped his face with his palm „I just feel helpless lately. Had my moment at the world cup and that’s it”

„You’re being too harsh on yourself”

„But it’s true. I feel like i’m not giving enough” he shook his head avoiding eye contact.

„It’ll pass” you whispered appreciating his vulnerability „Give yourself some time. You still have that great potencial in you”.

He hummed sending you a warm smile and started to untie the tie he was wearing.

„You look beatiful today” he added shortly, looking straight into your eyes.

Another moment when you felt that he could actually dig in right into your heart and soul. You let out a shaky breath. He truly said it for like the third time tonight.

„Let me” you just said leaning in to untie his tie for him.

The moment you got closer you felt the scent of his cologne, it was your favourite. After you told him that you like the perfume, he started to use it frequently because, as he said, he always trusts your judgement.

You were being very gentle with him. After slowly taking off his tie you undid two buttons of his shirt. You were focused on the task before you momentarily felt his heavy gaze on you. You took the risk and looked up, he had that smug grin on, almost made you roll your eyes. But mostly you started to feel really hot and dizzy. Maybe it was still the alcohol in your system or maybe he just got that effect on you. You finally had to stop lying to yourself, you were attracted to him. With any other guy it would be ten times easier. He was making you so so nervous recently, it was almost ridiculous.

You moved away from him and stood up, honestly not giving too much thought about what you were planning to do next. Something just pushed you to give in and risk a chance to show him how you truly felt about him.

„Come” you reached out both of your hands to him.

He grabbed your hands without tardiness and stood up as well, visibly towering over you. So you started to slowly walk backwards in the direction of the bed. He kept holding your hands, and you kept the eye contact. You were wondering if he knew what you truly wanted right now. Did you even know?

You stoped in your tracks and bit your lower lip before lifting your hands up to undo the rest of the shirt buttons. Richarlison said nothing, but you were almost sure that he could hear your beating heart.

„If you want me to stop right this moment, just tell me” you said sounding more confident than you really felt.

He brushed some of your locks back with his hand, exposing your chest. You felt your cheeks heating up.

„Please, continue” he murmured lowly looking intrigued.

After unbuttoning the shirt at the wrists you used your fingers to delicately slip it off his broad shoulders. It fell easily, and you were considering your next move. You began to worry that once you expose yourself to him like that, it would change a lot between you two. But you wanted him, like you have never had before, and it was starting to consume you.

You reached for the zipper of your tight black dress and noticed him looking briefly at your cleavage. His maroon iris were darkening and it caused shivers to run down your spine. You sent him a feisty grin before removing the dress straps and slowly letting the dress to fall off your body. Now you stood bare infront of him, wearing only lace thong. You heard him intake a sharp breath and stepped closer, throwing your hands over his shoulders. Your chests touched, he was warm and yet you shivered. His hand were immediatly at your hips, gripping lightly and you reveled in the feeling of his hard body pressed against your softest places.

„Can I kiss you?” you asked quietly feeling his chest rise and fall.

Now your heart was pouding mercilessly. You haven’t done much yet, however your body was almost trembling owing to how aroused you began to feel.

He didn’t answer, simply leaned in and connected your lips in a gentle and sweet kiss. He hummed lowly and his hands started to travel across your sides and back. You deepened the kiss and gasped feeling him gripping your ass cheeks. He took advantage of that, putting his tongue inside your mouth. The moment was so sweet but also exciting, it made you moan uncontrollably. You felt a clench and slowly building tingling between your legs, making you squeeze your legs together which elicited another moan from you. He then leaned back, you both were breathing faster. He looked almost etheral, with his lips slightly open, cheeks reddened and foggy eyes. Your pretty boy.

„I’ve been imagining this so many times” he breathed „You have no idea of the affect you have on me. Are you sure you want this?”

You couldn’t find words after his confession, feeling your throat tightening, so you just nodded silently and reached for the zipper of his pants. The garment fell to the ground.

„Minha linda” he said grabing your chin to make you look at him.

You smiled at the comment said in Portuguese and rolled your eyes feeling intimidated.

„Shut up” now you were back at your casual bickering.

Richarlison grinned smugly and licked his lips before bringing them to your neck. You put your hands on the back of his head, playing with his short hair, your lids closed. One of his hands traveled up your thigh and rested gently at the apex of your legs. It was delicate but abrupt and your lower body jolted forward. You heard him groan against your throat and he used his fingers to rub circles over your covered pussy.

„Oh” you whined in a high tone.

You always thought that if it ever came to this moment, you would be a little flustered and maybe unsure, because he was your best friend, and at the same time he made you feel like no other man before. But right now he was making you react to all this like an unexperienced little girl and it was so overwhelming.

„So delicate and responsive”

Of course he had to be cheeky during a moment like this. Almost made you want to slap him but you just started to grind against his palm. That’s how weak you were right now. And you were enjoying this, ready to let him do whatever he wanted with you.

You whimpered.

„Tell me what you want” he said.

„I…” your ragged breathing made you cut the sentence „want you to fuck me Richy"

👋🏻 Hi, good night. Sorry for the hate messages!

I'm not madridista, but the whole situation is very strange and ugly. We have deluded fans thinking that the non-appearance was in support of a player, but in fact, it was because no player won, and I think that's disrespectful.

the news is that they were about to take off when they found out and the flight was canceled precisely because no one had won.

All this will soon be forgotten, but it still shows that they don't get what they want, they don't go.

I think a tweet was the least of it. No one owes anyone anything 🫠🫠

And, of course - Not liking Vini doesn't make you racist.

I'm Brazilian and we live in a surreal political issue between left vs. right (basically hatred of minorities) and his lack of positioning is what annoys me — Not to mention his public support for Mendy.

In fact the entire Brazilian men's national team is impartial and neymar is an outspoken right-winger and I hope yamal never takes a picture with him (He mentioned wanting to meet him in a interview to tnt sports brasil.) (Also, Neymar supported Robinho, who was accused of rape and, if I'm not mistaken, sentenced too in 2022!)

Despite being a Brazilian and a Culé, I've been rooting for Vini Jr precisely because he's the Brazilian who could win since 2007, I think it would mean a lot, he's 23, there's still a long way to go and there are still other Brazilian names shining in Europe, I hope there's no shortage of chances for us to have a Brazilian winner.

Anyway, I'm sorry for the messages, and as a decent person and first a woman, don't pay too much attention, there's a reason why these people are anonymous and don't have their real names here! 🤌🏻😤😤😤

hi, anon. first, thanks for your kind message. 🫶

and after reading this, my initial thoughts are: why are men so disappointing? and my second thought: why are male footballers even more disappointing than the average man?! 😭 and vini jr., neymar, and others' support of mendy is so 🥴

but yes, i'm not an expert in brasilian politics, but i've read a few articles over the years, and it sounds like a complicated mess. and i understand exactly how race has been used as a political tool to divide the nation.

anyway, if it makes you feel any better, brasil still has the best women's footballer of all time to call your own, marta! and let's support raphinha while he is having a breakout season 🙏

[toni-peperoni]

1.001 words of pure crack, treated not nearly as seriously as I intended, prompted by @yeastinfectionvale with 'Uccio and Checo being twins, but make it dramatic'. Here it goes:

He couldn't quite remember who had suggested to do that 23 and me test, but the entire academy came together and Vale was doing it too. So Uccio couldn't just opt out. He wanted to be cool after all. And really, what spoke against it. Being from such a little place like Tavullia meant that everyone knew everyone and the only thing that Uccio really hoped to find out was the he and Vale might be related at least in someway?

One after the other, they opened their results and all seemed normal and right, they even got the Brasilian part of Franky right, but then when they got to his results, something was weird. It said he was half Mexican. Mexican? How could that be with how much he despised the Spanish language and anything associated with it.

But when it was right with Franky and Brasil, that had to mean it was right with him and Mexico too right? Everyone was confused and Uccio wanted to call his mother. Naturally everyone else wanted to hear the explanation too, so he was forced to stay and call his mother on speaker.

"Hello Alessio, my baby, what is up? Why are you calling me so late?", his mother asked him.

Bez and Cele were giggling he was still called 'my baby' by his mother. That got them a death glare.

"We all took DNA tests and it turned out I'm half Mexican. Any comment on that", he asked with spite in this voice, that usually only came out when he defended his family, Vale, against the great evil, Marc.

"Oh what, that must be a mistake. Neither I nor your father are Mexican!", his mother tried to play it down. But Uccio saw right through her, like he always saw the malicious intent of people.

"But is my father even my father?", Uccio shot back. And his mother's defence crumbled.

She was sobbing, tears rolling. Her son had never been supposed to find out. Nobody was supposed to know what happened when that hot shot from Mexico had suddenly showed up one day and like a whirlwind threw her world upside down.

"I never wanted you to find out. Of course your father is your father, he raised you, but your biological dad is someone else. His name is Antonio. He was charming, he was sweet and just everything I missed in your father. I am so sorry I never told you, but it was for the better. I didn't want to start a whole identity crisis for you. You know, because Salucci is not your biological father's last name. My one motto has always been: The main thing is that Alessio is well"

He swallowed hard. "Salucci isn't my right last name. I'm not actually Uccio. But who am I? What is my last name supposed to be?"

"It's Perez", his mother sobbed out.

"That's so Spanish. That's so typical in the Spanish language it's even in the Spanish Duolingo course as a standard example name", Pecco threw in from the side, not being helpful or considering of the crisis he was currently going through.

"Wait Antonio Perez as in the father of Checo Perez?", Valentino was the first to make the connection.

"That's exactly him. I can't watch Formula 1 without thinking about him. And your twin brother."

"My twin? I have a twin?", Uccio - was he even Uccio anymore, or was he now Rezo and needed to dye is hair blue because of an identity crisis - asked.

"His name is Sergio. He was so weak as a baby, he passed as a lot younger than he actually is. It's a miracle he actually made it. And look at him now, sometimes winning races in F1 of Max isn't able. Or Carlos", she wept.

"Checo Perez is my twin? But isn't he ten years younger than me give or take?", the half Mexican asked.

"Like I said, he was very week as a baby, it was easy to pass him as younger."

"So what you are saying is that not Fernando, but Checo is the oldest driver on the grid?", Valentino double checked.

"He is. My sweet little angel. I haven't seen him in so long."

Uccio ended the call with his mother after that. He always thought he was her only sweet angel, but now that.

"I need to get in contact with him. How, how can I do that?"

"We could get in contact with Marc, he was good ties to the RedBull F1 team."

"No, not Marquez. I have a reputation to loose here, not you. I can't ask him."

"Well alternatively, we could try Lewis. See if Checo is in the WhatsApp group with all drivers."

"That, let's do that."

Valentino and Uccio went somewhere more private to call Lewis Hamilton and not even 10 minutes later, they had the phone number of the mexican and apparently also half-italian driver.

It took a few rings until Checo picked up, confused as to who was calling him.

"Hi, this is Alessio. The best friend of Valentino Rossi. We got your number from Hamilton. I'm calling because. Because I just found out I'm your brother. Your twin brother."

"My. My what?"

"I'm your twin. We were separated shortly after birth. Your father took you back to Mexico, away from my mother and away from me. I can't believe I finally found out."

"But what does that mean? How old does that make me? I have to be 40-something."

"Yeah, you are. I am so happy to have finally found you. I always felt like a part of me was missing. Like my family wasn't complete. But now you are there and it all makes sense."

"I know what you mean. How could they have never told us? We could have met so much sooner!"

"It doesn't matter", Uccio said, voice strong, though the emotion in it was clear. "Because we have found eachother now, brother."

_________________

I formally want to apologize to anyone. Especially to anyone who understood the accidental Rezo reference (for context, there is a very, very well known German YouTuber, with blue hair, which is basically his trademark), this was not done on purpose, I typed out Rezo, before realising what I had actually just typed.

Let me end this with another quote two quotes with great German popculture relevance:

1. Hauptsache Alessio geht es gut (The main thing is that Alessio is well) said by a famous German rapper over the child of a very bad German musician.

2. Weil mein Ruf kaputt geht, ned deina! (I have a reputation to loose here, not you!) Quote fro the father of said Alessio, the very bad German musician Piedro Lombardi.

And I think that sums up this entire experience quite well. Because whatever repution I had, I have probably now lost. Thanks for indulging in my crack

[penis-flytrap]

@lovely-lady-fox

Sorry for the late response, I thought I'd posted my reply... But it turned out I'd left it in my phone drafts and forgot 😵‍💫 (thank you, adhd!)

So, my friend's Brazillian friend, her parents are originally from Pernambuco! Her husband's parents are also originally from Pernambuco too, near Recife.

They're like you - great taste in music, cultured, intelligent, very introspective. Deep thinkers, curious. Her husband is a baker with his own cake company, very talented. Lovely sweet amazing people.

Her family like to act extra loud, firey, like the party-mad Brazillian stereotype because I am quieter and they know it drives me crazy 🤣 it's great fun, or great craic as they say in Ireland. Craic = fun, gossip, or a good time. Or great banter, if you want the English slang word for fun 😉 they're so funny.

Her house had the largest TV I'd ever seen! In the 2000s, most people had a 20" screen, maybe 30". But her parents bought a new 50" flatscreen TV as soon as it was available in the shops. Complete with Sky and cable packages - and 10 million Brazillian/Portuguese channels 😂

Same in my Portuguese friend's house, as well - they had to buy the biggest sofa in the shop, the biggest TV, fridge, computer, everything 🤣

It took up ALL the space in the room. Her brother used to joke they couldn't leave me alone with the TV... because I might rip it off the wall, climb out through the window and take it back to my gypsy caravan to replace my antique black and white television LOL

Whenever I was invited to her big family house parties, her cousins would point at me and talk REALLY LOUDLY AND OBVIOUSLY about me in Portuguese, ALL DAY 😆

Nobody would explain the jokes until the next morning, when we were having breakfast and her mum and dad translated what they were saying... mostly Irish gypsy jokes, jokes about fighting, being drunk, Guinness, horse racing etc 😉 There were some REALLY clever jokes I'd never heard before as well 🤣

Oh, I'm sorry if I didn't make it clear! - all 3 of us were born and grew up in London in England, UK. All of our parents emigrated to England in the 1980s. I still live here in London.

But yeah there's a huge Brazillian ex pat community in Dublin, you're right. In fact a Brazillian man became a national hero in Ireland last year. He saved some very young children from being killed by a man with a knife who attacked them outside a school in Dublin City.

Incredibly brave, he just jumped in and stopped the attacker. Someone set up a fundraiser for him, and raised €300,000 with donations from people all over Ireland. He's a local hero and celebrity now 🫡

His name is Caio Benicio. He decided to stay in Ireland and ran for election as a council member in Dublin, for the Fianna Fáil party (centerist party, but right of centre on some issues)

Honestly Ireland doesn't treat its South American immigrant population very well, they're usually employed on bad contracts with poor wages and holiday pay and bad housing too. He wants to advocate for better workers conditions. I hope he does well!

I think Brasilians and British people share a similar sense of humour, we also give our politicians loads of diminutive nicknames. Most of them are... err... not so cute LOL

Our former prime minister Boris Johnson was Bozo the Clown too, and that was just us being polite lol:

���

Unlike Bolsonaro, MERCIFULLY none of Boris' children are in politics. He's had loads of marriages, mistresses and affairs and blackmailed one pregnant girlfriend until she had an abortion. His oldest daughter has actually disowned him. Not to mention ruining our economy, siphoning billions of tax money away in dodgy contracts and deals and passing some terrible laws...

He and his party are gone for now thankfully, but just like in Brasil, he's still hanging around politics like a turd that won't flush 😞 I know how you feel. There's no optimism left anywhere at the moment, everything seems impossible.

[whompthatsucker1981]

completely unrelated to what's going on rn but in prev post talking about the way liberals + especially white ones will pick at someone's speech not sounding like Natural Online English to try to delegitimize whatever is being said reminds me of what i saw happen in a discord server when i was more active in fandom. readmore if you wanna hear years old nonspecific fandom gossip. same kind of fanfic person. if you were there you know.

person with a well known ongoing fanwork had posted another chapter of their thing and got an anonymous comment on ao3 asking them if they could provide a translation for something (the fanwork involved images so it wasn't something you could copy paste and machine translate). i found out this happened because them and the clique they were part of were talking shit and making fun of that person on discord.

they took that comment as being rude, and answered to it saying that they will not offer a translation and are not entitled to it because it's supposed to be an easter egg for those savvy enough to understand. and the anon responded to that upset and angry in spanish and another language. they and the clique were on discord making fun of them for sending a "google translate comment" to supposedly show off and intimidate and acting like it is a given that asking for something like a translation would be entitled.

as a bystander and also having english as a second language with brasilian pt as my first, peeking at the comments i could tell right away that the english was from an esl speaker from a romance language, which means that nothing was ever google translate spanish and that they pissed off a multilingual person on ao3 for nothing.

also on the personal side i was feeling like this was a nightmare scenario of mine and what made me be a lurker in fandom for so long, bc i was terrified of having people get on my english speaking and assume i was being rude or something and try to pick and argument with me. so since back then i was still on good terms with the server owner who happened to be on that person's clique, i explained all that concerned and saying that person could as well have had problems about being misunderstood and assumed to be rude, and they said sorry for taking part on the mockery and told me thay would get them to apologize to that person, and we proceeded to eggshell walkingly bring up the subject on the server itself

and then that person never apologized and deleted the comments and some further comments they got calling them an asshole for having witnessed the ao3 comment altercation and never brought that up again ☺️

and you wanna know the kicker. the "easter egg" that savvy people would know? it was a single word in japanese kana in an image because that person is a white weeb. end of storytime

The way you bring up Croatia so they bring up.... An Irish guy?

They say celebrations are a European thing that they just hate on Brasil for, but all countries perceivably in Europe (I say perceivably because countries close to or inbetween continent borders often get debated a bit) are different and have different football cultures? The Irish guy in question who said he didn't like the celebrations is someone who for the most part just ran around and stuck his hand in the air for a celebration, he didn't do a lot of dancing or anything. People also get punished in some form by refs for celebrations deemed too exuberant anyway (Brasil's celebrations weren't over the top, but I'm using it as an example just to show that celebrations are not all treated equally)- it's not like all celebrations are loved by all footy fans or by sporting officials. Beyond that Roy Keane? Yeah, he also said he didn't like it when Ireland celebrated a goal in a friendly because it was "over the top". It's not like he's directing his dislike for goal celebrations at one nation or one group or ethnicity, he's directed em at a few people. He said Parrott had an important goal but that the celebrations were still over the top, this was the only goal of the game, and he still had an issue with that. Compare that to him getting upset about Brasil celebrating every goal, or which they had many? It doesn't seem targeted to me- it just seems like he doesn't enjoy goal celebrations that much.

I also saw someone respond to that post using the fact that Croatian players grabbed onto the Brasilian players shirts and that nothing happened to them as if that was proof of the point of the post... I've seen many MANY a match where there's been no real rigging or bias where nothing happens due to shirt pulling lol- most players do it at some point. It's also difficult to see, they aren't gonna VAR every shirt pull because it's common in the game and if an official doesn't see it they can't do anything about it. It's also just, not actually a food in of itself anyway, it can be depending on the situation (if it has impact in the game, stops someone from being able to move or from being able to take a shot on goal for example.) but normally it doesn't. I'm tired of people trying to make things issues when they don't even know what they're talking about lol.

nah people will just find anything to bitch about.

that post wasn't even about celebrations. (honestly, dancing isn't my cup of tea but i would literlly never say anything about it cuz it's their thing....and it's kinda cute honestly to me 🤷)

as for grabbing.... i saw brazilians grabbing croatians. when you are watching your team you alway only see fouls AGAINST your team, that's normal!!!! 😂

what bugs me is people bitching now when last time it was croatia against denmark, then russia, then england...and it was fine. and now suddenly ---- its rigged against BRAZIL.

(it was also 'rigged' against argentina last time but it was in the group stage so it didn't matter much?)

....... honey.... 😂 i am also so tired. just watch some football and shut up honestly. people just wanna play victim so much smh. i mean... just because you won some years ago does not mean everybody should just bend over and give it to you lol 😂

i literally have nothing against brazil

if we lost today, i would have SUPPORTED BRAZIL ALL THE WAY CUZ IMHO THEY SHOWED THE BEST FOOTBALL SO FAR ON THIS CUP 🤷

nah ppl are just crazy on this site.

thank you so much, it's so nice to get some sane and nice people in my askbox 😘😘😘

What happened to LP Finland in Facebook?

I've been the sole author and administrator of the Facebook page: Laura Pausini Finland for 9 years.

One of my best "general" covers for my FB site.

Before that a LP fan for 20 years. Creating the page had been my long time dream where I could share and scream all my LP related hopes, dreams and fears to my fellow LP fans out there.

A special plus was perhaps to advertise Laura's work in FINNISH which no one in social media etc. was doing at the moment or is doing to be honest even today.

Advertising Laura's work in 2022 on my FB site.

I loved to post about Laura almost every day. Share stories, favourites, unknown facts or duets. I know that 2000 followers (or almost) is not much in social media in 9 years but I appreciated every like and follow I managed to receive in those years. Particularly I was proud of the international follower base I had (besides FIN lots of mexicans, brasilians, italians - people from the States and Baltic Countries joined as well).

When I was a child, being a LP fan wasn't something that the other kids did in Finland so I learned to keep my fanity as a secret. This is what I continued to do with the Facebook page. I loved not only the sharing part of my Facebook page but to carefully plan how, when and what I would share. My work has been super organized and dedicated - others might call it crazy. But this is the singer whose music is the soundtrack of my life.

One of my best loved lyric translate videos for "Non é detto".

Along the years I expanded here in Tumblr (which has been less active I admit at the times) and Youtube + Spotify. In 9 years I want to believe that I did manage to create a brand and community.

However, in the last mid September Facebook closed my site as due to "not following their guidelines". I argued back in all the ways I knew how (FB doesn't have customer service) and tried to investigate what was it that I had done wrong. There was no warning for the closure either so I was in the state of shock.

Every year I always try to promote Laura's Xmas album during the holidays.

24h, 48h, one week passed and no feedback arrived from Facebook and my site remained closed. I was unable to like, comment to do absolutely anything to reach out my followers that the site is down and not by my own choice. I was devastated of the work of 9 years going wasted - followers, posts, everything was lost.

Which added my agony was that this took place in the middle of a very special year: Laura's 30th anniversary and just when she was releasing the news of her new single and album. Next year was also gonna be my 10th anniversary for having my own FB site.

Promoting Laura's Grammy nomination in 2017.

So I created the new page (after a few tech issues) and started over. Luckily most of the materials were saved elsewhere so I can try to add them little by little to the new site. I was very careful when creating the page as I didn't know what went wrong with the other one (apparently it could have been the Finland reference in the name, using official photos as profile pics).

However, when changing the profile pic last night Facebook informed me that my new site was also closed due "not following their guidelines". I literally didn't know what to do anymore as I knew that once closed in FB will probably always be closed. I complained again however and 15 min later FB reopened the site. I don't know whether it was the new title having Fan Site or what was it that made a difference to original site complaint.

Promoting Fatti Sentire vol II in 2019.

What horrified me when googling this was how many actual professional sites FB or other social media platforms can close because checking the sites, profiles is automatic and not human operated work for them. Sites that might have not broken any rule in the end are lost for good. At least I didn't lose my income here.

What was comforting to notice that long time followers, the ones that are most active ones have found my new site rather quickly. Friends have given support. Allow me share my thanks here to all of you (you know who you are!). I also hope sharing my experience here helps the fellow fan sites in a similar situation.

What I learned from this experience was to have backups, other social media platforms (even though I prefer FB because of its diversity) and keep the profiles active to get your message across when one platform is down. I've been thinking of IG a lot but I know that is also Meta owned and algorithm is as painful as it is in FB.

Laura's new album is coming out this October 27th!

Where would you wanna follow LP news in Finnish and English?

MY THOUGHTS BEFORE THE ARTICLE

What happened? O.L., Olympique Lyonnais, Les Gones, was sold by Aulas to a Statian, under a business plan that assumed OL was going to make 2nd in Ligue1 in 2022-2023. That didn't happen. So, to be validated by the french goverment, the sale of key players plus the sale of OL Feminin plus OL Reign + other things. In my mind , selling Lukeba/Barcola/Cherki warrants a total reboot of the team. The idea that those three players each representing a sector, defense/forward/midfield are absent next season side their senior colleagues is massive. OL Feminin was already in process to be sold as Ms/MRs Kang has ambitions to be a woman owner with teams all over the place, ala City Group. The sale of OL Reign has to happen as Kang already owns the Washington Spirit in the NWSL. and the NWSL has a one owner one team policy. But, when the Women's world cup ends it may be a huge day for OL Masculin+Feminin. Textor says he doesn't like projects like PSG but from where I am sitting Crystal Palace isn't on the path to lifting trophies and while Botafogo may, Brasilian futebol tends to tests owners quality far more than people realize. OL masculin is not involved in anything but French football next season so… we will see the quality of his ownership… I said it before, I was content with Aulas. I am not a big ownerchanger. But I don't expect this owner to do much, USA owners usually don't.

OL: TEXTOR MUST FIND 130 MILLION EUROS BEFORE GOING BEFORE THE DNCG

INFO RMC SPORT - After appearing for the first time in a press conference in a speech still very vague on his project Wednesday, John Textor must now look at a decisive offseason for the future. At the time of its purchase of Olympique Lyonnais, the American investor had appeared before the DNCG with a business plan that was based on participation in the Champions League each year. He had also injected 86 million euros in cash to close the current season 22-23. Problem: OL will not play the C1 next season and will therefore be deprived of the financial windfall of several tens of millions of euros that goes with it.

The DNCG will soon schedule the passage of the various clubs as usual. It will take stock of the past season and especially will look forward to the next with the sole concern of ensuring that the clubs can go to the end of the next year from a financial point of view. This is where the challenge arises for John Textor. Clearly, he will have to find nearly 130 million euros to ensure a smooth passage before the financial gendarme of pro football.

For this, he is of course counting on the transfer window. Thanks to the sale in January of Malo Gusto to Chelsea, Lyon has already been able to bring in 30 million euros (more than five million euros in bonuses). Ryan Cherki, Castello Lukeba, Bradley Barcola seem to be the three most rated players on the market. On the other hand, it seems illusory to imagine that this is enough to achieve the objective.

Textor will have to find money elsewhere. The plan to sell the majority of the shares (52%) of the women's section falls within this framework. Expected gain: not far from 50 million euros after a legal accounting year that would show this sum in the "result" box, without there being a cash transaction. This operation would also save €13 million in OL Women's annual operating costs. In addition, the sale of OL Reign – imposed by the presence of two franchises of the same entity in the NWSL since the arrival on the board of Michele Kang – could bring in a few tens of millions of euros. A recent Wall Street Journal survey even estimates the price of a women's franchise at around $50 million.

The shareholders, Textor and its partners, could also find a solution to reinject new money themselves, as Franck Mc Court does every year at OM.

Another avenue envisaged according to our information, an IPO of the Eagle Foot structure (which brings together Lyon, Botafogo and Crystal Palace), potentially in the United States, to raise the necessary funds. At the time of the takeover of the Lyon club, OL's financial department had already raised this hypothesis with the DNCG, which did not seem to reassure it too much.

Indeed, in its sale valuation report that it had sent to Jean-Michel Aulas, the DNCG had clearly indicated that with this takeover project there was a significant risk of significant financing needs from the first year. It is no longer a risk, it is now a reality. And it worries because by buying OL and becoming majority (78.40% of the shares), John Textor must commit to launching a takeover bid to buy back the shares of small holders (12.13% of the shares). Takeover bid that has still not seen the light of day. This should be done next week. Textor could spend nearly 40 million euros to buy back these 12.13% of the public's shares. What still question the financial solidity of the new parent company of OL.

In the event of a lack of guarantee provided by John Textor, which seems likely today, the DNCG can take measures as specified in Article 11 of its regulations. This can lead to a control of the wage bill, a limitation of the number of transfers, a ban on recruitment or even demotion in the worst case. The DNCG wants and must absolutely ensure that no club that commits to a season finds itself in a position of default before the end of the season at the risk of distorting the entire competition. It is this risk that John Textor will have to remove very quickly.

Contacted by RMC Sport, the entourage of the new boss of OL specifies "that the DNCG has not issued an extraordinary request following the change in the capital structure." According to a source close to John Textor, who is still working in Lyon this weekend, the new OL boss is "aware of the importance of the French rules enacted by the DNCG and that he is, in advance, very happy to go there in the appointment set as every year, in June."

[notsodailycake]

Cake, sorry to ask this, but what would be the benefits of decommissioning Rammy for an upgrade for Freddy... ?

(Sorry Rammy)

Alright so, you're good lol, i let u send the ask. Mostly bc i haven't shared shit of what i plan to do with her in the animatronic version--

So here comes the info dump :D

I will cut off the part of how she works, since it's already well explained here, although i will state one part that wasn't stated on the post originally: her "Tent" and general area is a revamp of kids cove.

But ok, to start off, she doesn't have any features for Freddy to use, in fact, she will not be decommissioned at all

To shed some light, as much as she looks like the other Glamrocks, she was not build by Fazbear's entertainment, in fact, they dont fully own her.

Now something i realised I've only ever mentioned on my Instagram is that she was actually built by this Brasilian woman who had her own entertainment place, with her own animatronics (tho mostly for teen up audiences). The woman had taken interest on Fazbear's Entertainments, mostly cuz of her husband that had started to work there to fix some issues. And her daughter (who at the time was 10-11), also really liked the place. So she started to want to collaborate with them.

During her visit there, her daughter lost her doll that she loved dearly, although they do end up finding it, but not after a looong search. So with that the woman had the idea of an animatronic that could help find missing items, but she didn't know how the animatronic could be, or where to put her, until her daughter (who was helping in the brainstorming for ideas), came up with the idea of Rammy the Racoon. Since racoons are known in stories to like to collect treasures and be able to keep them safe. As for where to put her,,

They decided the kids cove could work, and Fazbear's entertainments agreed since they now could actually revamp the place with someone else helping pay the expenses (although that unfortunately ends Foxy's show in this au, sorry for the foxy enjoyers)

Now, to get to why she does not give upgrades to Freddy, or isn't decommissioned? Bc one, she is made in a different model then Freddy, she just looks like the same type on the outside. So even if she had a feature he could use, it could not be implemented on him. And two, since she is a different model, and system, she wasn't affected by the virus, in fact since her code was separate from Fazbear's, mostly monitored by folks from her main creator's business, she was quite the obstacle for Vanny

Not only that, but she was made by a mother with big values of protecting children, so Rammy is way more protective then the other animatronics, making kidnapping and killing more hard

So she was thrown out. More or less. You see Vanessa and her kinda had a bond, with her being so caring to Vanessa even of it wasn't part of the protocol to do so, so when given the task to get rid of her, Vanessa just turned her off and hid her somewhere no one would find her

This was about a year before Gregory had come into the picture. Since Rammy was a unique model, they had to either wait till a new one was built, or find her. And the company not wanting to waste more money, opted to try and "find her", so her area was left vacant for a while

How does she join the game? Well during Greg's run into the plex, he actually can come across her and be able to turn her back on. After having her charge a bit while completing some other tasks, she will be by your side. She can help you find lost items, and a feature i would add would be to have you lose an item when seen by the bots, and Rammy would be there to collect it for you

She would also be of help to distract the other animatronics while you sneak around, when Freddy is out of use

Unfortunately, she is quite rusty, being left forgotten for about a year, so you wouldn't be able to use her as often. But she could be of help by the ending as she is not affected by the virus like Freddy is

Now, there is still some stuff I'm working on lore wise, and game wise. But that's the gist of it so far

Hope it helps

[trulies]

Salutations! I hope you're having a great day

I would like to ask for a match up please (preferably DC or marvel)

I'm a short- ish straight Chinese/Brasilian female, dark brown hair, green eyes, skin tone mixed between tan and lighter tones, with a lean athletic build

Im really into martial arts (currently I do jujitsu an Kung Fu) but I also practice gymnastics (acrobatic and trampoline).

I also enjoy arts and science (using different tools to make art like laser cutters, CNCs and 3d printers), I speak 3 different languages fluently: português, Chinese and English.

I skipped a grade in highschool so I'll go to university earlier than my peers (this is my last year since I'm 16 turning 17), but I have absolutely no clue on what I want to do (I'm very indecisive)

Currently I have 3 cats : Gary, gumball (like the cartoon), and pipoca (meaning popcorn in Portuguese), I also have 2 dogs. In summary I love animals

I have a few friends but I'm quite introverted when I meet new people

On the Mayer Briggs personality test I'm a INJ-t.

I love watching old movies with my dad, and geeking out with my sister and brother (I'm the middle child)

On a deeper note, I get a few depressive episodes, because of academic and social pressure (constantly being compared to my older sister) and currently suffer from body dysmorphia

Thank you (◍•ᴗ•◍)

We match you with...

Peter Parker!!

Both of you are very intelligent and strong. It might take a while for him to include you in his heroic endeavors, as he is concerned for your safety, but one day, you both will make the world a better place together.

There will be some competition between you two, but only for the sake of having some fun.

He loves how smart you are, and loves staying up to date with all your projects and art

You tend to be a bit hard on yourself sometimes though, and he's always there to help you feel better; whether it's doing something to distract you from your problems, or just letting you talk through them.

[redxblueihateloveyou]

Are there any plot points in the movie that's still left hanging? I feel like everyone is so focused on that last fight, i haven't seen anyone talk about any other plot points aside from makoto's vision and the kinjou and albert drama (even that is small in comparison to rinharu's bombastic heartbreaking fight 🥲)

But there's lots of stuff left hanging... like the whole Riyuuji story and him being the trashiest coach bc he tries to fix his life trauma through Haru, about you know that one character who's connected to him and just him being trash, dissing Ikuya and Rin and etc. Thats' still left hanging.

Also I think there's actually too much stuff left for a 1,5 hour movie. Like points you named already enough in my opinion. But there's also Sousuke's training, there was Kinjou implying that Hiyori should try to go pro, Ikuya ofc having his problems after not qualifying, etc, etc. I mean, there are so many (some unnecessary) characters there, that I actually think some plot holes won't be resolved, unless they make at the end some montage like "several years later" or smth (I actually think they'll do it, bc there's also our Iwatobi's and Samezuka's kohais). Also depends on will or won't they do a time skip before the next movie, bc they might. Idk how it all will fit, but we'll see lol. I'd rather they focus on mains, than try to run after all the rabbits at ones tbh, and from what we've heard, they thankfully chose the first option.

Its just obviously everyone cares about them more than about the random new character sudden brasilian relations reveal to another character who now everyone hates lol. Like I'm not gonna be invested into new character's family stuff, all I can discuss is how its connected to our story and whats the parallel/lesson there, bc its all that they're there for, not for some character deapth, I mean, its the finale and he just appeared. Most of them are there to push our storyline anyways. Like Kinjou's and Albert's drama are just part of the reasonings for our drama, so even if start discussing that, we're gonna just come back to us anyways xD

I think for most in this fandom its just impossible to care the same way for characters we grew up with and watched them go through all the highs and lows and who we know everything about and been with them for almost 10 years to little stuff, thats why we stayed here and so dedicated.

But yeah, there are in fact too many lines in the movie, if you wanna pick smth haha

[narvana27]

So, I wanted so speak about this subject for some time now, and now, when I saw another person with opinion that xiaolin showdown is somehow racist, I decided it's gonna be today. Disclaimer: Im not racist, homophobic, transphobic or anything like that. I believe everyone is equal and until you're good human - you're normal, you're good. HOWEVER... Xiaolin showdown is racist because it shows it characters in stereotypical light... Are you serious with it? Are you sure u know what a CARTOON IS? Cartoon is mostly for children, it's simplier version of reality, cartoons cant show kids all of the problems society has. Imagine cartoon who would treat about racism, homophobia, phedophilia, rapes and all of that stuff - normally. Without any filter. That. Is. Not. For. Kids. Because purpose of cartoon is to teach, ofc, but with fun. It is to show simplier version of life, that's why cartoons shows people without every single hair on their head drew separately - because it's contractual version of what we know. And so, if there's a cat - it gonna meow and drink milk, even tho milk is bad for cat's. Why? BECAUSE IT'S WHAT WE KNOW! Dog gonna bark, dog gonna hate cats, cats gonna run from dog - this is reality, but it doesn't mean every dog hates cats, and every cat is afraid of dogs, DUH! So: Xiaolin is racist because the characters are stereotypical. 😑 GURL. That's because cartoon have to have characters who are somehow unique, we need to be able to say something about them. And the show was out there in 2003. That's was 18 years ago, almost 20, almost two DECADES ago. You wanna change the world now, and you dont know that some time ago world was diffrent? Those were the times cancell culture didn't exist, those were the times political corectness didn't shout people's mouths. I get u, Im also part of Gen Z, and I see how world is changing, and Im happy for it, but u fight for equalness fighting with people by ruining their careers. You walk over dead bodies to your destination. Let's break this together:

-Raimundo - Brasilian. Loves football, beach, relax, is street smart, sarcastic. Is anything from this feature - racist? Wrong? If you would ask I dont know how many Brasilians if they think that fictional character that is from Brazil likes football is somehow hurtfull or offensive, they probably would say HELL NO! They would be more offended, if he WOULDNT like football, because people in Brazil are CRAZY over football. Not everyone ofcourse, but MAJOR part of them are. Is that "racist"?... No. Not at all. Why would it be, if people in Brazil really loves football?

-Kimiko - from Japan, loves technology and fashion -" Oh no! How wrong! Technology, because she's from Japan, and..." - No. She likes technology also because her father has technollgical business. She loves fashion because he was single father and didn't thought about the facf, that little girl would use more of clothes rather than another video game. But that was his personallity - floppy, but cute. Is there anything wrong with fashion and technology? She was feministic as hell and badass and strong as a motherfuck*r. That should do.

-Clay - American, from Texas. Loves Texas, loves meat, country music, his ranch life, nature. Again - meat. Says a lot of typical for Texas sayings... Is that something that hurt anybody? Any where? Any time? That's not bad features! Bad features and stereotypes are when you think every American is stupid, or every Russian and Pole (from Poland if u dont know) are always drunk and drinking vodka like water. That's the bad stereotype. Not dude from Texas liking meat and sayings.

-Finally Omi - because his short, has big round yellow face and his yellow in generall. Again, repeat after me: The show was creates in 2003. Almost 20 years ago. He's probably Chinese, that's why he's yellow. As well as Master Dashi. He's the shortes, because he's the youngest. Or maybe he has dwarfism? We dont know it. I will say another controversial thing: Almost every accusation of someone or something being racist online I see being said by white girl. U know what I read one time? This girl was saying xiaolin is a little bit racist because of ✨stereotypes✨, and at the same time she wasn't in knowledge that Asian people can have diffrent eye color than black or deep brown. "Kimiko is Asian and somehow has blue eyes"... Umm... Yes! Because that is possible XDD So, she was more stereotypical racist than her point that she tried to make 😂 It is BEAUTIFUL, that every character in the show is diffrent, and they show their cultures! I started to love Brazil because of Raimundo, to the point I read about that country like crazy and I have it emblemats in my room today. Is that wrong? I dont think so. Omi being yellow isn't in my state of non - racist mind offensive towards anyone, BECAUSE IT WASNT MEANT TO BEEEEE. It was 2003 for Gods sake, world wasnt focused on fighting the racism even 5 years ago, so what is the point of fighting racism in something, that wasnt meant to be racist, and was created 20 years ago? I would say: Shut the mouths of people saying dumb racist things to another people FOR REAL. In real life, or the internet. Cancell people who are really bad, but no if they done one mistake. Report racist and homophobic posts and blogs, fight racism as it is happening NOW, not something that was made 20 years ago. You wont erase history of your own country USA, where slavery were a thing. You cant cancell that, because how? It is history, it's in the past, so if you want to change something - Focus or now and today, and dont look for racism in things that arent racist. U think the creator of xiaolin - Christy Hui, who is half Asian, would make Omi and Dashi yellow because she's racist? Gurl, think about what you're saing, fr. Fight racism for real, dont try to convince people that xiaolin is racist because Omi is yellow or Kimiko likes technology or any of that shit. Its not. Like. That. Thank you.

i'd love to learn a couple languages heh. might take something up this or next summer. next summer is more likely though haha yay you! what are you planning to do with your hair? i want to go to the hairdresser too before i go back to uni, dye my ends a navy blue, kinda like ombre? another update: i called in but they don't have any lessons for another 6-8 weeks so i'll just start then at uni, since i go back in 6 weeks anyway look at you being productive! i wish i could be the same 😅 i've been really tired these past two weeks, sleeping for like 10 hours a day and i think that's what made me tired too, if that makes sense? so i haven't had a lot of energy or motivation to do anything. really don't know what started this. also, let me know how everything goes! the pictures turned out great! sometimes i take a good quality pic and surprise even myself haha. and i bet, i wonder what it would be like to just live in places like that, since to tourists it's so amazing, i wonder if the locals kinda get used to it all. i'm glad you enjoyed it, and i hope you'll be able to go back at some point in the future. well, i always wanted to go to Spain, maybe Japan too? i would love to go to different places around the world and just experience the culture, you know? all of it, the food, the nightlife. what about you?

Yes me too 😭 I've always wanted to learn Spanish and Brasilian Portugese and I did start with Duolingo two years ago and I continued last year during lockdown but once we could go out again I completely stopped 😭 so I would love to continue that because I did make a lot of progress in a short time and it was very motivating !

I would like to cut my hair up to my collarbone and also make it a lighter color if possible because I experimented quite a bit with my hair these last month and they ended up a color a don't like 🥴🧍🏻‍♀️ so yeah if the hairdresser can do something about the color I would be very happy haha 😆 what color is your hair now ? I think that would look very cool !

Yeah lots of people schedule driving lessons during the summer, I hope thay can take you next time :/ and you know it's also ok not to do anything during summer break, I would also have liked not to do anything but I just happen to have things to do 😭 today I helped some of my parents' friends to move big rocks they had in their driveway and omg my back and knees hurt 😭

Yeah most locals don't even pay that much attention to the beauty of the city anymore :( I also got sort of used of the city I lived in during my studies (Strasbourg in cas you want to check), it becomes part of your everyday life and you just forget about it after some time 😅

Oh yeah that sounds great ! I have been wanting to do a big tour of South America for years now, I just fell in love with the landscapes, the different cultures and languages 😊 also Australia, I really want to go there at least once in my life 🤩 other than that I'm open to pretty much any destination in Europe too 🙂
