#the best telenovelas

[furiouscrusadeavenue]

Mariana Garza & Eduardo Capetillo. "Alcanzar Una Estrella". 1990

[seventeenlovesthree]

Lord, oh Lord, give me STRENGTH to deal with that framing, my heart is too fragile, I cannot handle it.

Not only have we established that they're "not good with words", but Usopp just urges Luffy - who is, for the first time in a long time, actually unsure about himself and everything he's doing - to "speak from the gut". Something Luffy was always good at, but is self-conscious about, now that Nami told him he made the "wrong" choice. Usopp's gut is definitely my friend.

Batman Prompt 6.2 - Alfred

Ok, this one is a completely random thought

Alfred likes watching Telenovelas in his free time.

Each member of the family joins him. (separately)

I feel like Alfred would like them because they are so random; he would enjoy the drama.

And then when a (any) member of the family is walking around and sees what Alfred is watching.

They stay for a little bit...

"Why would Sam be that?! There was nothing in the story to even allude to her being that! Wtf!" (They somehow have watched 3 seasons already)

"Noooo! Pedro was obviously the better choice! Dave is a huge red flag!" (They mainly like it because of its ability to take them of guard, they see nothing coming.)

All the other kids slowly get sucked in, all watching the show with Alfred. (Of course at different times, so they don't know that they all now share a passion.) Alfred is just happy to spend time with his grandchildren.

(Bruce has already been roped in. It happened when he was a sad little kid. They now watch together every Tuesday.)

Somehow, a total coincidence, all of the kids decide to watch with Alfred at the same time.

It was hard at first, but now they all watch together on Tuesdays (yes, Bruce included)

The day(because they are busy at night) becomes a type of family bonding day. They mostly watch Telenovelas, but sometimes watch other things.

We’re all gonna die alone.Might as well spend time with our loved ones while we’re still living.

[respectthepetty]

Holding knives to people's throats, slapping people across their faces, everyone has fucked each other, "I'm not your friend," "What the hell did you say?!"

God, I love this toxic shit!

Give me ethical non-monogamy First and Soong!

it is i again... strawhats/revolutionaries enjoyer (sabosan/koanami)

im just thinking about oblivious sanji and koala vs struggling sabo and nami

sanji is oblivious because well. he doesnt recognize when someone is attracted to him... and koala is oblivious because shes not 100% sure if nami likes her that way (despite being painfully obvious) (im sure koala would def know but i jsut think it's a little bit funny)

like sabo and nami writing the most romantic letters Ever to their crushes and then sanji's like "? this is from luffy's brother but for who?" (WHO ELSE DOES SABO TALK TO MOST ASIDE FROM LUFFY !!!) and koala just reads nami's letter and goes "aw this is sweet. im sure the receiver is going to appreciate this :]"

(also alternatively, oblivious nami so sabo and koala are Both struggling...) oblivious nami is her not being sure if koala even likes girls so when koala is romantic with her shes just like "??? does she mean this in a friendly way? what does she mean by this?"

Hello, my beloved Sabosan/Koanami enjoyer, may I interest you with my very very normal and not insane feelings about this idea? 🙏🏻 (I am not normal. Nor sane).

Sanji is oblivious because his self-esteem rests at the bottom of the fucking ocean and the guy can't fathom the concept of somebody liking him, even less being in love with him. He goes around the world giving love but the second somebody else returns it he's like "huh, this is nice. I wonder if this feeling has a name. I am sure they're just this nice to everybody else and it has nothing to do with their perception of me". So, yeah, trying to flirt with Sanji is... Hard. On the other hand, Koala is oblivious because, even if she accepts the possibility of Nami liking her back, she doesn't know if it's love or just a short-term crush. They're always joking about Nami having a lot of girlfriends, so for Koala, who probably has only thought about one person besides Nami romantically, it's a bit weird to guess if Nami truly has strong feelings for her.

So this makes Sabo and Nami go absolutely insane trying to find ways to make the other two realize they're in love with them. Without saying it out loud either because despite being in love and often reckless with these things... They don't want to jump to conclusions. They want to court them, or something like that. Sabo is a writer, and we all know that, so he comes up with this plan and starts writing letters to Sanji. They're the most romantic, Jane Austen, poetic letters about yearning in the whole universe. The thing is-- He doesn't personally give them to Sanji, he just leaves them in the kitchen for him to find, because he's a writer but he's also a moron. And Sanji instantly gets jealous and frustrated and "Who- Who is he talking to except me????" because Sabo isn't even that close to the rest of the crew, tbh. He's always with either Luffy or Sanji and Sanji thought they had something special going on. So it's kind of breaking his heart to find the letters, and if he needs some space between them, Sabo thinks he has fucked up by confessing and Sanji doesn't feel the same. Yay! Miscommunication! Meanwhile, Nami steals the idea like the burglar she is and starts writing letters for Koala too. Unlike Sabo, she actually does give them to her, but Koala genuinely thinks Nami is asking for her opinion?? And it makes her extremely sad, but Koala just goes "Oh! This is great, Nami. I'm sure the girl you're in love with will definitely fall for you now" and Nami wants to jump into the sea and drown.

So now you have Sanji, who's not speaking to Sabo because he feels a bit betrayed and it's hard to be next to him now that he thinks Sabo loves somebody else. And Koala, who tries hard to help Nami with the letters and wants to be next to her even if it's to support her with a crush that makes her terribly sad. And both Sabo and Nami are going through the worst time of their lives.

(And Nami being the oblivious one is also really funny because not knowing if a girl is a sapphic or not and having a "is this platonic or romantic????" crisis happens to every lesbian in the world. I raise you, btw, oblivious Sabo for the same reason because he truly thinks Sanji is girl-crazy only).

Having finally finished last night, my definitive opinion is that Petra and Rogelio are the best characters in Jane the Virgin

[mermaidsirennikita]

the Interview team knows what I myself have known for quite some time (and it's so validating):

within the core of basically every great tangled emotional drama series of the 21st century is the beating heart, the DNA, of daytime soap operas

[al-norton]

So my entire dnd groupchat can have fun theorising that my character is secretly a lover of our criminal boss’ wife, but as soon as that turns out to be true it’s all ‘nooooooooo’ and ‘you’ve ruined my family’s honor!’ and ‘not in the church????’ and ‘A SON?!?!?’ I see how it is…

[aka-diarmuid]

Dee wanted to ask Dawn, his cute goth crush, out to the Winter Formal but he backed out when the big bad put her life in danger to get to Dee. He pushed her away to protect her. During the dance, Dawn apologizes to Dee for not being there for him and tells him she chooses to stand by him even when things get scary. They dance and even though Dee never confesses his feelings for her, he's happy just to have her in his life. They need each other. (Earlier that night, Colt confessed his feelings for him, thinking he'd never see Dee again because he was being sent to prison- and Dee was dying. Dee rejected him and then went to cry to Achara, who was not equiped to comfort him but did her best. We love our lizard bestie.)

I've been waiting for the Forever and Missa drama all day guys and it's finally happening!!!

Imagine watching this from the Eggs' perspective.

[inthewaytoamultilinguallife]

hello, ive been learning portuguese for a bit and i was wondering if you had any recommendations for media? like youtubers, blogs, movies or series. if you do, thanks in advance

uff fuck, i will sure try my best but i can’t promise anything

I normally get my dose of Portuguese via going to academic workshops or working alongside Brazilian people, so I don’t exactly engage with media in Portuguese as a conscious learning process, I'm afraid. Like, for example, i normally just get a bunch of Instagram reels and TikToks cause I'm on the Brazilian side of instagram/tiktok, and not exactly because i follow any particular account or something, and i don’t level or recognize how hard the Portuguese is in each one, etc 

I have some series that i remember watching and liking tho, which are:

De volta aos 15: a drama/comedy series around a 30yo woman that time travels a few times to when she was 15 and tries to fix everyone's life, as one does

A sogra que te pariu: a very absurd sitcom in the best latinoamerican style (and set during covid)

Samantha!: Another comedy, now about a kid star from the '80s who is trying to launch herself back

Lulli: comedy, drama and romance. A medic student gets electrocuted and starts hearing everyone's thoughts

3%: suspense, fiction, drama. Set on a diasporic word where, while everyone gets a one-time change to better their life, only the 3% makes it

Ciudad invisible: Drama, mystery. This one has lots of references to folk culture and stories! It's about a man who, after a family tragedy, starts seeing different mythological creatures that will help him uncover the past

omnisciente: sci-fi, drama, thriller. The city is controlled and watched all the time everywhere by drones. A woman tries to solve a murder that the drones never picked on + plus discover how fucked up the system and the drones are

Coisa mais linda: Drama, romance, set in 1959, after getting cheated on and left alone, a woman sets herself to open her own bossa nova club

ninguem tá olheando: comedy, drama, fantasy after discovering some secrets of the bureaucratic angelic system, a guardian angel set himself to break every rule that there is for protecting humans

Valentina: drama a young trans girl moves to a more conservative rural town 

Alice júnior: Coming of age film about a YouTuber trans girl as she challenges her catholic school's conservative ways
