#I'll think about this when I hear NEM from now on

[vampiressmoney]

I think about this clip all the time.

Imagine the reaction if like, Lita Ford said this about 8 guys though.

Toutes ces belles promesses que j'entends/ All those beautiful promises I hear

C'n'est que du vent / They are only the wind

Èvidemment / Of course,

Elle ne sera plus jamais la même / She'll never be the same

To begin again

No more time to waste

Or to play pretend

Now I see myself

Building up a world of bridges

O doutor diz que não há nada a fazer / The doctor says there’s nothing to be done

‘Caso perdido', vi-o eu a escrever/ 'Lost cause’, I saw him writing

Ando perdida numa outra dimensão / I’m lost in another dimension

Toda eu sou uma grande confusão / I'm such a huge mess

O que te fazer, amor, pra mim assim não dá / Love I can’t do it like this

Porque parece que nem sou mais eu / Because I don’t even feel like myself

Ai coraçao / Oh, heart

Diz-me lá se és meu / Tell me if you are mine

Carlisle - Tattoo (Loreen) 🇸🇪

When the stars align then, I'll be there

You're stuck on me like a tattoo

No, I don't care about the pain

I'll walk through fire and through rain

Just to get closer to you

You're stuck on me like a tattoo

(So, what do you think @mikaharuka? Accurate, yay or nay? 😂)

[todayisawthewhxlewxrld]

Okay here's the prologue 😍🤞🏾

--------------

Rain.

You adored rain, it didn't matter whether it was a light shower, raging down poor, or even when thunder struck so hard it made buildings shake. But for you, rain had always been a safe space for you. Some people could definitely disagree with you right now; especially Zero.

"I swear to god, Nemphis!"

It came out as a grumble, a deep sound that resembled his equally deep voice. A pillow was clutched tightly over the back of his head, his pointed ears popping out of his ivory colored hair. His hair was messy, now freed from the bun he usually kept it in. It went down to his shoulders, and right now it was down as he glared Nemphis through the thin curtain of his hair.

Nemphis on the other hand, was laughing. Cackling at him even, he sounded more like a witch then you and you actually were the witch. Nemphis grinned at Zero his sharp teeth showing easily and even looked as if he was enjoying pissing him off, that thought alone made you laugh slightly.

"Alright, break it up. Break it up, if your gonna make out- at least go to a different room."

Rolling your eyes in a playful manner. Voice full of sarcasm, you closed your book and decided to pay attention to them.

"Well, Zero shall we? Assuming you don't want to join Angel?"

Nemphis turned to you his eye brow lifted slightly in question with slight smirk playing at his lips. He ran his hand through his lavender colored hair and shoved his hands into his pockets awaiting my answer, looking at me with his stormy gray eyes. Ironic how it resembled the clouds in the sky today.

"Sorry boys I'll have to turn you down on that one, I have a date with my cat and criminal minds."

I shrugged casually, easily deflecting Nemphis's attempt at flirting. Walking over to Zero, I bend down now resting on my knees as I look down at him. He's covered in a blanket laying under it with his pillow, still being covered up over his ears. Thinking for a moment, you stop. And smile, for such a big guy he can be so cute. Zero is easily about 6'8 while Nemphis is only a inch under. You don't understand how people can be so afraid of them, genuinely.

"Hey there big guy, you need anything?"

Voice full of genuine concern you poke your head under the blankets so he could hear you better. He shifted before moving to look at you.

"Yeah, need Nemphis to shut the actual fuck up."

He stated, very stubborn on this and wasn't moving on his statement.

"Hey man, I wasn't even being serious big guy chill." He shrugged and quickly went to defend himself.

You huffed, rolling your eyes at their antics before gently bringing zero into a hug comforting him. Running your fingers through his hair, carefully tracing patterns on his back to help calm him down.

"Hey wait, I wanna join the cuddle party!" Whining, Nemphis tried to get under the cover with you and Zero only to be met with a you giggling quietly and pushing him back out.

"If you want any sort of cuddles, you have to put on Zero's favorite movie, make popcorn, and get my spell book." You demanded. You mainly needed all of these to comfort Zero, you knew that Nemphis was happy to do it cause he really felt bad about pushing Zero a lil to far. So with little complaint he did, reaching his hand under the blanket and handing you your spell book.

"Thank you Nem." You gave him a kiss on the cheek as you removed the blanket from you and Zero, Zero angrily grumbling about but didn't complain to much nonetheless.

You stood up and had the book flip to the spell you wanted, it floating in front of you as you read the familiar spell. Honestly it's surprisingly you haven't memorized it it's probably because Nemphis and Zero insisted you memorized attack and healing spells instead. Sighing softly you scanned the page and relaxed letting the familiar feeling of your magic start to pour out of soul and into the air a small magic circle appeared under you glowing lightly of a faint white color as did your eyes, as you muttered the spell. In the sky a patch above your house was cleared, and the stary night skin pooled through the open hole. Rain was hitting everywhere but the house and it seemed like the thunder and lightning was muffled, if not completely silenced. Turning off your magic and with a flick of your wrist your spell book closed and set itself on the table, Nemphis and Zero looked dazed staring at you. Like you'd just hanged the stars in the sky and took them to heaven itself. And to them, you truly did. Shaking your head for a moment to clear off any lingering affects of the magic you turn to the boys and sit on the coach gesturing for Zero to join you and Nemphis.

"Is this a new episode?" He questioned as he sat down basically dawfing you in size it was ridiculous, but he layed his head on your lap as Nemphis had his arm over your shoulders and head resting on yours. Both of them were very much taller than you but you didn't really find it that intimidating.

"I think so, haven't seen this one yet.." You mumbled watching the tv screen as you ate some popcorn.

Moments like this made you wonder how people can see these two as threatening, intimidating, scary, or even terrifying. To you their just two big babies who like to be lil shits to each other. But even then you wouldn't have it any other way.

OH MY LORDY LORDDDDD I LOVE IT I NEED U TO FINISH IT NAOW!!!!!

anywho im on the 46th chapter tehe and i anticipate it to be like 50-52 chapters :3

[lrninglnguage]

Now, let's talk about one of my favorite things in Brazil: its music

This is certainly a topic that I'll talk more often because I really really really love brazilian music and sometimes I think that some brazilian people don't appreciate it enough.

Since there's SO many things to talk about, in this post I'll focus on some music that I think plays with Portuguese, uses some expressions or that I simply think sounds nice.

'Homem Com H' by Ney Matogrosso

Nunca vi rastro de cobra Nem couro de lobisomem Se correr o bicho pega Se ficar o bicho come Porque eu sou é home' Porque eu sou é home' Menino eu sou é home' Menino eu sou é home'

So, this song is from 1981 and it's a manifestation about masculinity and gender identity. The lyric enfatize the man of the song as a "Man with M", a man who fits society's traditional standarts of masculinity. The music use some things from Brazil's folklore to ilustrate challenges that a man needed to face to prove himself as a man. Ney Matogrosso is famous for his androginous perfomances and for challenge gender's stereotypes. So I think this is an ironic song about standarts of masculinity, as well as a social critique of the pressure for the men to follow a restricted model of behavior. I put the video with English lyrics above, and you can find the full lyric in Portuguese here.

'Refazenda' by Gilberto Gil

Abacateiro, acataremos teu ato Nós também somos do mato como o pato e o leão Aguardaremos, brincaremos no regato Até que nos tragam frutos teu amor, teu coração Abacateiro, teu recolhimento é justamente o significado Da palavra temporão Enquanto o tempo não trouxer teu abacate Amanhecerá tomate e anoitecerá mamão

I love love this music and I love this man. Gilberto Gil, to me, is one of the Brazil's greatest artist and you should definitely check his musics, if you haven't done it already. This song is really good to hear and I think that plays a little with Portuguese. For example, when he says "amanhacerá tomate e anoitecerá mamão" it means "Tomato will be dawn and papaya will be dusk", but everytime I heard it before read the lyrics I just understand it like "a manhã será tomate e a noite será mamão" that means "the morning will be tomato and the night will be papaya", it's so similar when you speak. Anyway, again I put the video with English lyrics above, and you can find the full lyric in Portuguese here.

'Sina" by Djavan

O luar, estrela-do-mar O Sol e o dom Quiçá, um dia, a fúria desse front Virá lapidar o sonho até gerar o som Como querer caetanear o que há de bom

I think all the things I said above about Refazenda and Gilberto Gil could apply here, so I'll refrain from say it again. This music is just great, I don't know a single person that just don't love it in some way. A universal experience is knowing how to sing this song, and then checking the lyrics and discovering that we've been singing it wrong the whole time lol. I couldn't find a video with the English lyrics, but you can check it here and in Portuguese, here.

Chevette by Ana Carolina

Se mandou Bateu com meu Chevette Pôs fogo na quitinete Me traiu com mais de sete Fez comigo um bafáfá Voltou Mandando um bate-boca E bate porta e quebra louça E troca tapa e rasga a roupa Fez comigo um mafuá To batendo no pandeiro pra não bater em você To batendo no pandeiro pra não bater em você

Okay, I'm not even sure if this music fit in this post but Ana Carolina is my favorite Brazilian singer and I couldn't help and put one of her songs here. This a simple song with a short lyric, but it have some words and expressions that I think it would be fun to add in your vocabulary! (but really, it's just a excuse to put one of her songs here lol). Again, I couldn't find a video with the English lyrics, but you can check the lyrics in English and Portuguese side by side here. (It's sounds more fun in Portuguese).

This post is getting long so I'll end it here. I'm not even sure if anyone will read it here, but I really love Brazilian music, so I'll talk again about it later.

slow 𝓭𝓪𝓷𝓬𝓲𝓷𝓰 in a  𝖇𝖚𝖗𝖓𝖎𝖓𝖌 room (𝐒𝐄𝐁𝐀𝐒𝐓𝐈𝐄𝐕𝐄, the  𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘺𝘭𝘪𝘴𝘵 𝘦𝘥𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯)

Can't seem to hold you like I want to, so I can feel you in my arms. Nobody's gonna come and save you, we pulled too many false alarms. We're goin' down and you can see it too. We're goin' down and you know that we're doomed. My dear, we're slow dancing in a burnin' room.

1. SUPERCUT by lorde.

In my head, I play a supercut of us: all the magic we gave off, all the love we had and lost. And in my head, the visions never stop, these ribbons wrap me up but when I reach for you, there's just a supercut. [...] 'Cause in my head, in my head I do everything right; when you call, when you call, I'll forgive and not fight; because ours are the moments I play in the dark, we were wild and fluorescent, come home to my heart.

2. THE HEART WANTS WHAT IT WANTS by selena gomez.

The bed's getting cold and you're not here, the future that we hold is so unclear, but I'm not alive until you call and I'll bet the odds against it all. Save your advice 'cause I won't hear, you might be right but I don't care... There's a million reasons why I should give you up, but the heart wants what it wants.

3. BEBO LITRO by maiara e maraísa.

Queria sair, me divertir e esquecer você em cima de outra cama. Tento ser feliz, mas os meus olhos parecem um chafariz e não esquecem que te ama. Quando a gente gosta e não tem a pessoa, faz de tudo, mas não faz amor. Saudade eu tenho, mas com vontade eu 'to de conseguir deixar quem me deixou. Ainda não superei, eu bebo um litro e choro três, mas eu esqueço de você, nem que eu beba num dia o que era pra beber num mês.

4. COM OU SEM MIM by gustavo mioto.

Se tem outroa em meu lugar ou se você quer colocar, te deixo livre, livre pra viver. Não prometo te esperar, coração vai cicatrizar e uma hora eu sei vou te esquecer. Se era medo de me machucar, 'tá esperando o que? Só quero que você seja feliz, com ou sem mim. E quando der saudade e for dormir, com ou sem mim, e quando perceber que eu não 'to e que não vai achar um outro amor, vai ter que aceitar que é assim, com ou sem mim.

5. DON’T LET ME DOWN by blink-182 & oliver tree.

You save yourself, I'll save you too next time around. I'm not around, I haven't been here for a while, you know I'll never be back now. Please don’t let me down, you better come around. [...] You take me back to much better days but those better days weren't good enough. You lit a fire that burned me down, now down and out's where I'm ending up.

6. DO I WANNA KNOW? by arctic monkeys.

Do I wanna know if this feelin' flows both ways? Sad to see you go, was sorta hopin' that you'd stay. Baby, we both know that the nights were mainly made for sayin' things that you can't say tomorrow day. Crawlin' back to you... Ever thought of callin' when you've had a few? 'Cause I always do, Maybe I'm too busy bein' yours to fall for somebody new. Now, I've thought it through, crawlin' back to you.

7. QUITTING YOU by arkells.

Singing lullabies, slow dance swayin' back and forth, whispering: "what's mine is yours". When you say my name, hits in a different way. You call me out when I'm talking nonsense, and I'll kiss you when I got nothing to say. And it hurts all throughout my insides, I couldn't stop if I tried loving you. I'll never learn, so I'll call ya when I'm outside. You said, "The key's behind the porch light for Unit 2". I thought of maybe quitting but there's no quitting you.

8. BURNING BRIDGES by bea miller.

I've been lonely missing your body, you've been out of touch you're so far away wishing you would tell me you're sorry and you know you made a big mistake. Close my eyes and try to forget you, every time I do I just see your face. After all that shit that we've been through, why are so you willing to walk away? I don't know why I stick around to watch you burn our bridges down,  I can't help it that I need you, now I'm drowning underneath the water that was under me. I'm still screaming that I need you, I can't help it that I need you, burn the bridges, burn them down.

9. I’LL MAKE IT UP TO YOU by imagine dragons.

Took your heart, took your hand, promised you all that I had hoping that you understand I'm far from a perfect man. 'Cause honey it's been a hard year, it seems like we're going nowhere. You're crying inside your bedroom, baby I know it's not fair, lay with me for one more night. I promise you, I'll make it right, I'll make it up to you, every night, I'll make it up to you. I know you don't understand the vices that follow a man and in your eyes I can see the places that you'd rather be.

10. BOOK OF LOVE by jimmy eat world.

I wasn't worried about the small things, tried to bury what they might or could of meant. And as far away as you could get, as distant as you've ever been, you still love me. The book of love is fiction, written by the loneliest to sing. Thinking led to in the best learning things they should forget until the end. So maybe we should plan then of who would go, and who would stay, and when until one of us can say it like it is, you've already made your own bed. I pick you up on a Wednesday night, go out for our secret drive like we were kids. Will we be alright? I have never doubted it before my friend. Are they ever coming back again, those feelings that we started with? I'll give it time.

11. NUMB WITHOUT YOU by the maine.

Let's get this straight, you are apanic in the bloodstream yet you bring me peace. You are a stutter in the heart that beats inside of me. You are my last, you are my first, you kill me for the better; you are the rising tide, you're every fucking thing inside me now. You are the violence in my veins, you are the war inside my brain, you are my glitter and my gloom, I am so numb without you.

12. NÃO VAI EMBORA by dilsinho.

Tudo que é bom dura tão pouco. Sem você aqui, o tempo só maltrata. Os dias são ruins, a vida tá sem graça. Eu não tô bem, perdi o chão, mas o meu coração já tatuou você. E mesmo sem querer, não me dá opção, não sei se te espero, se ainda me ama ou se me quer mais, sozinho eu não consigo saber. Como é que eu faço pra esquecer? Abre essa porta, deixa eu entrar, me dá mais um abraço pra gente lembrar. O gosto do seu beijo eu não achei em outro, um sentimento assim ninguém pode apagar.

13. NEM DE GRAÇA by pixote.

É que não sobrou espaço pra outro alguém. Minha saudade só cabe no teu abraço, no de mais ninguém. Tenho dó de quem me conhecer agora, que todo amor eu 'tô jogando fora e qualquer um que bate aqui nesse meu coração, não passa nem da porta. Se essa boca não beijasse tão bem, se esse abraço não fosse tão massa... Se que saber se eu quero outro alguém? Nem de graça, nem de graça.

14. AMOR DIFÍCIL by ludmilla.

Sempre vai embora, sem olhar pra trás. Grita, bate nos peitos, jura que não volta mais e, sem ter motivo, põe a culpa em mim; e, mais uma vez, o triste fim. E o meu coração, tão doce e paciente, morre de saudade, começa a ficar doente. Me afogo na cerveja, lá se vai a minha paz, saudades do meu sorriso, ele já não existe mais. Procuro em outra boca o gosto da sua, grito "segue o baile", pois a vida continua; sigo mentindo pra mim. Faço a minha mala, dou uma viagem, o comentário é foda, é Ludmilla na cidade. Luzes, sexo, festas, drogas... Me sinto vazia, sem ela nada disso importa. Então volta aí, então volta aí, quero te ver; então volta aí, então volta aí, amo você... Então volta aí, então volta aí, então volta aí, que droga, esse amor é muito difícil pra mim.

15. PONTO FRACO by thiaguinho.

Sou louco o suficiente pra apostar na gente, meu jeito louco pode ser surpreendente. Eu sou um louco, mas um louco consciente, às vezes inconsequente. Eu já 'to doente, quer me maltratar? 'Cê sabe que eu 'to carente, só de imaginar vai bagunçando a minha mente, eu 'to ficando impaciente. Ei, se toca, 'tá na cara que eu sou todo seu. Era pra acontecer, mas não aconteceu. Você 'tá adiando a vontade de Deus, parece que não percebeu que eu estou completamente em suas mãos, sua felicidade é sua opção, é sua opção. Você joga sujo,  sabe que você é o meu ponto fraco. tenta ser feliz mas 'tá fazendo errado, procurando em outro alguém o que está do seu lado.
