"It's funny because I know french culture. I know russian culture, german culture, italian culture, I know the american culture...But they don’t know the Brazilian culture. And sometimes I feel bad for the people who have never read Machado de Assis, who don't know Eça de Queiroz. [...]How can I talk to someone who doesn't know who Nelson Rodrigues is? [...]At the same time that Brazil has this inferiority complex due to our lack of communication with the world, Brazilians feel sorry for the world not knowing what we know. So when someone crosses the border and takes something that is personal to us abroad, it's us saying "look at how rich and beautiful we are!" and it is this kind of feeling of national pride."

koncass friendship on the brain again. you know how cass started picking up slang from watching tv? i think hanging out with kon should infect her with konisms. consider the konsibilities (kon possibilties):

she hands babs a coffee refill and babs says "thanks cass!" and cass replies, "ain't no thing but a chicken wing, baby!" and babs is just . . .. ... . .okay. okay. sure. alright. sure. this may as well happen. alright .

cass, ominously holding a baseball bat and staring at some henchman, who slowly lowers his gun: "that's right. be afraid. be very afraid." tim, pinching the bridge of his nose over his mask: "kon told you that's a good line, didn't he."

cass, taunting the riddler, who is facedown on the ground: "who's your daddy! who's your daddy! say it! say it! CHUMP!!!" steph: (WHEEZING)

or cass is on a mission with bruce later, and bruce tells her that some guy they're after? he's all hers. and cass, dressed like a certified freak of nature in her scary-ass batgirl costume, nods seriously and says, "hot diggity swag," and then jumps the guy. bruce is left standing in the rafters like Excuse Me ?

many other such cases. you get it.

i know that jean is not really ready to share the details about his time in the nest with jeremy or cat & laila

so i think it would be a great scene if he explained it to them in french

basically a trauma dump that they wouldn't understand

and jean would finally get some of it off his chest (+ a chance to speak in his native language openly, the right which he was denied for such a long time)

Here is a little thing that came from the post of @deadbaguette which you can see here

Have you noticed how little dialog Achilles and Patroclus share in the Iliad? Achilles is a talkative man. He exchanges long and even philosophical dialogs with most people he encounters, with his peers and even his rivals and enemies. But his scenes that involve Patroclus hardly mention any dialog between them and yet their scenes are the most tender and most talkative.

They prepare food, they entertain their guests, they just sit by each other. They hardly speak. Homer was telling us all along; words were not needed between them. Their actions spoke for them; their closeness and their intimacy. Their scenes are peaceful amidst the war: silent amidst the loud noise and speeches. That is why the loss of Patroclus speaks so loud; the piece of peace in the flame of war was lost.

Which is why also Achilles found closeness to Antilochus next. Antilochus who also hardly exchanged a word with him and yet he was there in his lowest, just holding his hands to keep him alive out of fear that Achilles would try and kill himself. Achilles wanted someone to hold his hand. Antilochus did that both literally and metaphorically

They do not need to talk. Their closeness is enough. The absence of both of these silent yet close and intimate relationships so violently by war destroyed Achilles beyond repair. He lost Patroclus by violence and war while he was absent. He went on a lament and on absolute rampage by killing his enemies, performing human sacrifice and hubris against the dead. He lost Antilochus and he lost the last bits of his sanity, slaying Memnon and pushing carelessly the Trojans back uncovered and was killed by Paris. The strongest of Greeks fell from the hand of the arguably weakest Trojan because all that was left of his strength was gone; his strength, his will to live and his sanity. He was already tripping. At that moment he was beyond saving.

I am surprised I don't see more people talk about it

hey therianblr, i made a golden retriver mask<3

my hearttype is a golden with a rather darker fur, black nose, and a dog-wise light eye color [i suppose it's a shade closer to amber, although i found my human eye color to be more decorative on the mask.] i am planning to make a dragon mask too, but i prioratized the dog one as i adore it's aesthetic, and the way my natural hair adds to the mask's effect gives me a handful of euphoria.

here i am, for a reference!! (i am not sure where did i got this picture from, i just kinda have it?)

about the process, i used the cat mask base available on aliexpress and such, some felt and faux fur from the local decor shop, and acrylic paint. sadly, i was out of hot glue in the middle of the process, so it was a struggle from then, but i managed. i cut the snout out from decorative rubber, and i cut off the ears of the catmask. the felting is the ugliest i have ever done, but i decided on to add a few whiskers made out of fishing line. to sum up, i am content.

in addition: here's the dog mask (my first mask ever) that i made exactly a year ago with paper mache. it was a pain in the ass to stick together, as i lacked the materials i needed. anyways, i love it too, but it's impossible to wear it.
