Am I right in assuming Vera and Angel would get along with one another?

They would be best friends! Although Vera is super grumpy and Angel is sometimes too tired to deal with that, they would bond over being promoted to parent by a bunch of toy monsters AND having to deal with the bullshit certain people left behind. They're two tired moms to me 💖

Thank you so much to @sylviebell for tagging me in this!! I had fun going through the whole album again to find songs.

Rules: claim a speak now (taylor’s version) song for your fic pairings 💜

Caro & Mickey - "Ours"

So don't you worry your pretty little mind

People throw rocks at things that shine

And life makes love look hard

The stakes are high, the water's rough

BONUS: Caro & Dalia - "Never Grow Up"

To you, everything's funny

You got nothing to regret

I'd give all I have, honey

Audrey & Javy - "I Can See You"

And we kept everything professional

They keep watchful eyes on us

So it's best that we move fast and keep quiet

Lauren & Bradley - "Electric Touch"

I'm tryin' hard not to look like I'm trying

'Cause every time I tried hard for love, it fell apart

Birdie & Jake - "Sparks Fly"

My mind forgets to remind me you're a bad idea

You touch me once and it's really somethin'

You find I'm even better than you imagined I would be

I'm on my guard for the rest of the world

But with you, I know it's no good

Murphy & Joaquín - "When Emma Falls in Love"

When Emma falls apart, it's when she's alone

She takes on the pain and bears it on her own

'Cause when Emma falls in love, she's in it for keeps

She won't walk away unless she knows she absolutely has to leave

Amizades virtuais

Ter um amigo virtual, uma amizade verdadeira, é um tesouro para a vida, pois mesmo de longe a pessoa está cuidando de você, está fazendo de tudo para estar lá com você nos momentos bons e nos momentos ruins, é sobre ter apoio de quem tá longe, quando se precisa de quem está por perto e não pode ter.

Amizades assim são capazes de te fazer esquecer todos os problemas ou pelo menos conseguir suportar os mesmos. Mesmo a distância faz um bem enorme na vida, nos salva muitas vezes de nossos demônios e traumas. Amigos de longe para fazer call, desabafar, jogar juntos, mandar áudio e muitas outras coisas, tudo para tentar melhorar o dia um do outro.

Ter um amigo virtual é ter alguém que, mesmo de longe, sempre tirará um tempo para ver como você está, talvez até faça planos para se visitarem e em muitas ocasiões são mais presentes do que os que moram perto.

A frase já diz muito, amigo, não precisa estar, precisa ser. Ser o seu porto seguro, seu confidente, alguém que não julga, que entende, compreende, mesmo que você venha repetir inúmeras vezes o seu problema, ele vai estar lá, independente da distância, te escutando e te acolhendo.

Há amigos que se tornam irmãos, luz na escuridão.

Há amigos que te tiram do fundo do poço, que alegram tua vida. E não importa a distância, e sim a confiança, o amor que foi gerado ao decorrer do tempo, tem amigos que estarão para sempre gravados no coração.

— Thadeu Torres & Carolina Alves

out of spite at the people who think transhet men have straight male privilege, i was planning to look into violence against straight transmasculine people specifically. i was going to look through the aovatp and see what i can find about the victims' sexualities, but i wanted to first ask if you had any information on their seuxalities already from your research. no worries if not, i just figured i'd check.

100% support that. I think straight trans men especially see a lot of erasure from other queer people, who are quick to portray them as cis lesbian victims of lesbophobia.

Here are the victims on the Archive who I know would be relevant:

Khleo Finnie (USA) - Assaulted and slashed along with his wife while being called slurs

Maria Paola Gaglione (Italy) - A cis woman who was murdered by her brother to "teach her a lesson" after getting engaged to a trans man

Unnamed trans man (Qatar) - A member of the Qatar royal family fled and went into hiding with his girlfriend after his freedom was restricted by his family.

Phillip (Malawi) - Assaulted by police officers along with another trans man for "doing lesbian activities"

John (USA) - Murdered by the ex-husband of his girlfriend in the late 1986. "During the murder trial in 1990, the defense proposed the argument that it was not a “real murder,” as John was just an “it”." (Hung Jury chp. 9)

Nicole Saavedra Bahamondes (Chile) - A camiona (butch lesbian) who was murdered, and had been previously harassed by cis men who sought to "correct her" and "make her a woman." She lived in Valparaíso, a region known for its lesbophobic violence.

^ Unnamed camiona (Chile) - Whipped with chains while being called lesbophobic slurs. Also from Valparaíso.

^ Carolina Torres (Chile) - Brutally beaten and permanently disabled by cis men who specifically targeted her, and not her femme girlfriend, for being a camiona; during the attempted murder, they asked her "Why do you dress like a man?"

Kavi/Kaveri (India) - Murdered and had his body burned by two cisgender men because he was against one of them dating his friend.

Jorge (Ecuador) - Forced into conversion therapy where he was physically abused and made to wear sexy feminine clothing (his girlfriend was also subject to similar treatment).

Manoj (India) - 17-year-old who was tied up, beaten, locked in, and threatened with murder by his family after coming out as a straight trans man. He was also taken out of school and forced into marriage with a much older man.

However there definitely are other people on that list who might be of interest to you.

Brazilian!Rhaenicent - Headcanons

- Alicent Hightower and Rhaenyra Targaryen would actually be named: Alice Torres and Rafaella Trindade.

- Them both would be from different states! in my head if we fit westeros in certain brazilian states i think oldtown/the reach would be Minas Gerais and Kings Landing/Dragonstone would be São Paulo and Rio. So Alicent would be from Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais and Rhaenyra would be from Rio!

- Alicent would study in a federal university (which are Brazil’s ivy leagues), and i can see her studying letras (english/lit) or journalism. As for Rhaenyra she would go to a private university to study economics and business, but i also can see Rhaenyra trying her best to get into Brazils aerospace engineering (ITA).

- Alicent loves to read and her favorite authors are Guimarães Rosa, Clarice Lispector and Hilda Hilst (she also loves with the bottom of her heart Machado de Assis and Lygia Fagundes Telles), and also loves books about Brazil’s (and the worlds) history and books that has that journalistic vein. Rhaenyra wouldn’t be that much into books, she would like one or another, but Alicent would make her a reader because of her recommendations (poetry is one of the genres that grows a lot inside Rhaenyra especially Carlos Drummond de Andrade and Hilda Hilst).

- they curse. a lot. it’s always a “puta que pariu”, “caralho” and “vai tomar no cu”.

- Alicent loves to use her film camera, especially when they do road trips. Rhaenyra is always buying her lots of films and a new camera to support her hobbies (she also books little trips and vacations and outdoors dates just to see alicent taking pictures).

- Both of them would LOVE mpb and bossa nova, it would be their go to songs for everything. Alicent would be a big fan of Milton Nascimento, Gal Costa, Djavan, Marisa Monte and Ana Carolina, and Rhaenyra would be a big fan of Secos e Molhados, Rita Lee, Jorge Ben and Belchior.

- Still talking about music, their biggest guilty pleasure would be funk, Rhaenyra would love the explicit lyrics and the beat but she wouldn’t know how to dance… even though alicent doesn’t like it very much she knows how to dance and knows her way when the song starts to play

- beach dates! beach dates! beach dates! (and also camping and going to visit the natural beauties that exist like waterfalls, caves and many others)

- As two good brazilians they would love football and they would be serious about it, especially in the world cup! (they saw Brazils and Germanys game in 2014 and still haunts them). Alicent would support Cruzeiro Esporte Clube from Minas Gerais, and Rhaenyra would support Vasco da Gama from Rio de Janeiro.

- Rhaenyra would be very into football. like super into it. in an annoying level. she would even play back in high school and at college, later she would play for fun or at the beach.

- Alicent wouldn’t do sports until she was in high school, she did ballet but in her first year of hs she rebelled and tried out to the volleyball team (she is actually very good and very competitive).

- Alicent is a big fan of soap operas, and rhaenyra teases her because of it (she watches with her and is even more interested than alicent sometimes).

- them both would love the bohemian, bossa nova pubs and enjoy a good caipirinha, cold beer and delicious food (and also xeque mate!).

- they would smoke normal cigarettes but also wouldn’t pass the opportunity to smoke a paiol/palheiro (a cigarette made out of straw with tobacco).

At the centre of Cartagena, Colombia, two prominent families - the Herreras and the Ariases - have been wrapped up in a feud that's spanned for so long that no one truly knows what's started it all in the first place. Families against families, businesses against businesses, properties against properties. But not everything that's come out of all that hate was hate. Born out of love, but in secret, Thalia was Emmanuel Herrera and Carolina Arias' love child. Since neither one could acknowledge her birth, her maternal grandmother, Mariana, took the baby in and raised her in her hometown, miles away from Cartagena, giving her everything she could ever need, including her surname.

The Best News of Last Week - December 12, 2022

1. Big cats: US Senate unanimously passes bill to curb private ownership

A bill to restrict the private ownership of big cats like lions and tigers in the US has passed by unanimous consent in the Senate. The Big Cat Public Safety Act would stop people from keeping the animals as pets and from them being exposed to public petting and photo opportunities.

Efforts to curb private ownership have increased in the wake of the Netflix documentary series Tiger King.

The bill now needs to be signed into law by President Joe Biden.

2. New Mexico voted a child care guarantee into its constitution.

New Mexico in May became the first state to offer free child care to most of its residents. Now, after a November referendum, it’s also the first state to enshrine child care funding in its constitution, effectively making the service a universal right – and perhaps offering a model for how other states could serve their youngest residents and working parents.

3. Rare good news from the Amazon: Gigantic fish are thriving again

Thanks to sustainable fishing programs that combine education with strict rules and quotas, the pirarucu, one of the world's largest freshwater fish it's now making a comeback.

"The pirarucu population has recovered," says Ana Claudia Torres, who runs the sustainable fishing program for the Mamirauá Institute, which manages a vast nature reserve covering 4,300 square miles of jungle in northern Brazil.

4. Dog reunited with family 7 days after falling from cliff on Vancouver Island

A beloved pet that went missing in the Highlands area of Vancouver Island was found seven days later by an army of volunteers. Luna, was found desperately clinging to a narrow ledge on a cliff, and was reunited with her owner after a heroic rescue last month.

It's believed that Luna had chased an animal out of her yard and got lost, somehow falling off a cliff and landing on a two-foot wide ledge. She remained there, alone, as her owner and searchers frantically looked for her.

5. Iran Shutting Down Morality Police, Official Says, After Months of Protests

Iran has scrapped its morality police after more than two months of protests triggered by the death of Mahsa Amini following her arrest for allegedly violating the country's strict female dress code, local media said Sunday, citing a single Iranian official.

"Morality police have nothing to do with the judiciary and have been abolished," Attorney General Mohammad Jafar Montazeri was quoted as saying by the ISNA news agency.

6. Condoms to be free for young people in France, Macron says

Young people in France will be able to get condoms free of charge from next year in an effort to reduce the spread of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), President Emmanuel Macron said on Thursday.

"In pharmacies, condoms will be free for those aged 18 to 25 from January 1," Macron told reporters during an event about young people's health.

7. One-eared rescue dog Van Gogh paints his way into adoption

A former bait dog in a North Carolina dogfighting ring "paints" artwork for charity and is living his best life in Connecticut.

Greg Owen at LGBTQ Nation:

In a speech to a joint session of Congress on Wednesday, the embattled Prime Minister of Israel Benjamin Netanyahu invoked Hamas’ and Iran’s treatment of LGBTQ+ people to make his case for full support of Israel’s objectives in the war in Gaza. Standing before a packed House chamber, Netanyahu was adamant Israel’s continuing prosecution of the war was an existential battle of good against evil in the fight against “radical Islam” spread by Iran, whom he blamed for funding Hamas and Israel’s other enemies and for stoking protests in the U.S. against Isreal’s continuing war in Gaza.

“For all we know, Iran is funding the anti-Israel protests going on right now outside this building — not that many, but they’re there and throughout the city,” Netanyahu told the assembled lawmakers. “Well, I have a message for these protesters: When the tyrants of Tehran — who hang gays from cranes and murder women for not covering their hair, —are praising, promoting, and funding you, you have officially become Iran’s useful idiots.”

Republicans leapt to their feet in agreement. Throughout the speech, Netanyahu’s reception was audibly more rapturous on the GOP side of the aisle, as Republicans rose repeatedly while most Democrats offered a respectful but more reserved reaction. There were several notable absences during Netanyahu’s address, including former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Vice President Kamala Harris who cited a previously scheduled campaign event. As president of the Senate, Harris would normally preside over a joint session of Congress. She’ll meet with Netanyahu at the White House on Thursday.

Gay Rep. Ritchie Torres (D-NY), one of Israel’s most vocal supporters since the October 7 attack, was in attendance, while out Reps. Mark Pocan (D-WI), Mark Takano (D-CA), and Becca Balint (D-VT) all declined to make an appearance. In his speech, Netanyahu “saluted” the fraternity brothers at the University of North Carolina who protected an American flag against whom the prime minister described as “anti-Israel” protesters, inspiring the most jingoistic moment of the event, with full-throated chants of “USA! USA!’ from the Republican side of the aisle. “That’s amazing,” Netanyahu continued while speaking about the college demonstrators. “Absolutely amazing. Some of these protesters hold up signs proclaiming gays for Gaza,” Netanyahu added, earning some laughs from the right side of the aisle. “They might as well hold up signs saying ‘Chickens for KFC.'” His comment referenced the fast-food chain known for serving fried chicken.

During Wednesday’s joint address to Congress, Israel Apartheid State PM Benjamin Netanyahu made disgusting pinkwashing comments insinuating that LGBTQ+ folks protesting Israel’s atrocities using Gays For Gaza/Queers For Palestine signage may as well be supporting “chickens for KFC.”
