replacing "my brother in Christ" with "my sister in satan".

it's got alliteration, and is more accurate for us on the hellsite 😎

"muitos anos a virar frangos" 2023

this one's my favorite.

"muitos anos a virar frangos" translates roughly to "many years spent turning chickens". it references chicken grilling.

it is a very, very portuguese way to express one's experience or mastery over something. it is used often as a brag and in an humorous way, sometimes sarcastically.

this illustration is part of "quem fala assim não é mudo" - "he who speaks like this isn't mute", my first solo exhibition, where i illustrate typical portuguese sayings and expressions.

this is the last of the collection. if you got this far, thank you for reading! i hope you enjoyed it!

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANK HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANK NO „ICH SPINNE“ DOES NOT LITERALLY TRANSLATE TO „I SPIDER!“ HAAAAAAAAAAAANK „SPINNE“ IN THIS PHRASE REFERS TO THE PRACTICE OF SPINNING AT A SPINNING WHEEL TO PRODUCE THREAD! NOT TO THE ARACHNID! ITS A MISTRANSLATION CAUSED BY ONLY LOOKING AT THE WORDS INDIVIDUALLY AND NOT IN THEIR RESPECTIVE CONTEXT! HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANK

I heard a line in a song today, and now, I'm just curious:

[hotvintagepoll]

I am So Sad that Jimmy Stewart is losing - he’s my favourite because he reminds me of my husband :( But I do have to admit that Toshiro Mifune is the objectively hotter man :(

This ask is lovely but I do want to stop in here and say—please don't vote on what you perceive as "objective hotness," that's so silly. what's hot to you? if these two hot men walked up to you in a bar and started flirting, who would you go home with?

some people on this website genuinely need to be told that not everything is an opportunity to try and sound smarter than somebody else

[s-lycopersicum]

On account of recent events (which, to be honest, isn't exactly a new trend), I've decided try out bluesky for a bit.

Let's see how it goes.

"tira o cavalinho da chuva" 2023

"take the horsie out of the rain" is a portuguese expression that means: to lose any expectations you had, to not expect anything.

it is believed it originated from a time where horses were our main means of transportation, and people would leave their horse out in the open, thinking they wouldn't take long doing whatever they were going to do. well, sometimes it started to rain on the poor horse.

Catastrophe

Happiness is

madness.

Crazy is

the pace.

I could be good,

i could be sane.

But i had to take

the hard way.

Morality is

hipocrasy.

Only the truth

shall set me free

But even that doesn't

matter anymore.
