[A sad violin song plays over an image of a sad hamster]

Pac: This doesn't have anything to do with me – I wear a blue sweatshirt, you're crazy, this mouse doesn't even have a sweatshirt, this hamster! [Reading chat] Am I a depressed hamster?

[ Transcript continued ↓ ]*

–

Pac: Actually– that's fine! I embrace that idea – of course I'm going to be depressed, are you crazy? [He hits his desk, then starts counting off people on his fingers] Fit is gone, Richarlyson is gone, Ramon is gone, Bagi and Empanada who were always there when we were there are also gone, I haven't seen them! It's just me and Tubbo, and sometimes Philza shows up.

Pac: I lost Chume Labs, I lost the Favela, I lost Murder Mystery, I lost Ilha Chume Labs, it's crazy! Look at how much I've lost, and I've gained nothing! Of course I'm going to be depressed, are you crazy?! How am I supposed to be happy?!

Pac: [Reading chat] "You have us Pac," that's true, thank you. No, that's true, sorry.

Me: I really miss QSMP's translation feature, I can't watch a lot of my favorite streamers anymore without it. But hey, maybe Youtube's translation feature can at least give me a little bit of context for what's being said!

[svtskneecaps]

so what i'm putting together from osmosis and the wonderful livebloggers and the incredible arkanis english updates account is something like this

Prefeito Jota: Hello, I'd like to hire you to investigate what happened in my city/island(?)!

Bagi, who was previously "invited" to a mysterious island/city by its elected official, subsequently trapped on the mysterious island/city, investigated the deep mysterious history of the island/city, came to no conclusions, found her brother after years of searching, was separated once again from her brother, gained and lost an adopted daughter (possibly to being kidnapped by the island government, which was evil), gained and lost a demon fiancée (possibly to being dragged back to hell, so there's no way to find her), gained and lost a close demon friend to dubious circumstance (did he die for his children? is he with skeppy in the gas station?), and has had an unknown amount of time to process and/or suppress all of this: Sure! :D

spanish and portuguese are different languages tho especially thinking of spoken brazilian dialects. I was so hated in classes for having an easier time with the subjunctive

So about that scene in WN where Beatrice is reading that journal entry to Ava...

I’ve only watched Warrior nun once this weekend, but I went back to rewatch this scene in particular and, there is just SO SO much to unpack from the suitcase this scene dropped on my lap 

1. Ava being like daamn she's translating straight from french that's hot (ava is someone who has effectively so far, missed on her entire life, missed on the most basic stuff walking, sensory tactile daily input, socialization outside of abuse. So she's truly getting to know and see and experience everything for the first time, she is hungry for living and knowing and finding out. So in this sense ofc it makes absolute sense that she'd be attracted to Beatrice who is pretty much a walking library, she's attracted to her on an instinctual level from moment one, she's just not rationalized yet that she is, but the magnetism is there) 

2. Ava repeating the word lesbich, because ofc her golden retriever brain would be like hey I know a whole new word and in a foreign language how cool is that?!! While also being painfully unaware that that word carries so much weight and pain for Beatrice and must be likely cringing internally to have the object of her affection just throwing the word around like it's nothing 

3. Ava's 'yeah she did!'. Once again reaching only an initial level of analysis and being excited because the nun in the story is a bada$s who just won't put up with abuse, cause in her eyes that must be literally so cool therefore violence and retribution is righteous. 

4. And then being crestfallen when she's notices Beatrice strong reaction to the whole story, then she's capable of grasping a deeper level of understanding of everything that's behind. It's not just retribution, it's hatred and fear and abject pain. She gets a glimpse of the other side of the coin, what the nun in the story/Beatrice deals with. A blinding rage, and overwhelming pain. It's not justice driving the sword, it's trauma. Her facial expression switched in seconds as does her approach to the rest of the story. 

5. Now she's able to see a connection between the warrior nun in this journal and Bea, she knows it is something primal but still can't put her finger exactly on what, yet she can feel that an immense pain is the thread that weaves both the story and Bea's visceral response to it.

6. Bea's realization that she's isn't the only one, she's not the only gay warrior sister. Up to this point I'm sure she must have felt isolated even inside her religious community, which became her family. They know who she is, but they don't know her completely. But there was someone just like her, through time, even at the distance she's not alone,  and she can also reach that feeling of being fully herself and at peace (I’ll forever wonder how Bea related to Shanon and Mary about this specific point). 

7. Bea being pissed at Ava's obliviousness. Ava being so close to the central theme of the story but still failing to connect they last final dots, which would save Bea an enormous amount of time working to an admission or confession of her love (which we actually didn't get, only after Ava was gone. Not even when Ava kissed her, not even when Ava took the leap and actually said I love you. Bea just wasn't going to be able to take those steps on time), if Ava could just realize by herself what Bea is feeling for her... But she doesn't and then Bea snaps because rly ava?! C'mon work with us here. 

8. Bea's gut wrenching admission that she became an academic overachiever to compensate for being gay. Now this is actually personal to me and I'm sure to most of the queer community, we've been there. Bea at some point literally felt she had no value as a person, only through discipline and excellence in everything she does :’(  she probably still feels that way, up until meeting Ava.

9. Bea dead a$s saying: 'What (who) you love, what (who) should make you happy only brings you pain'... while looking directly at ava.... Ava, sweaty, darling, honey baby, adoptive child of literal divine light, god’s chosen champion... my sister in Christ. Bea is pouring out her bleeding heart, looking straight into your eyes, admitting that even tho she loves you and you make her happy, you bring her pain. And in so many ways, as a christian believer/nun who's been told her whole life that being gay means your are doomed and automatically going to super hell, as a young queer woman who has gone to the almost ultimate stage of self denial of herself and her sexuality by becoming a nun, as a sister warrior entrusted with the safety of the halo bearer, as Ava’s very first and actual close friend, as a gay mess who’s trying so hard to keep her feelings on check because her relationship to Ava involves literally the world’s salvation and she has no idea if Ava is exclusively straight/or remotely queer. I cannot even with this specific exchange pls. This pained me on a molecular level because I was transported to my crush on a girl I met at bible camp when I was a prepubescent. (Yes I was at one point and against my will, an uncool christian nerd I’m no stranger to christianity and its multicomplex traumatic interseccion with queerness). And I still to this day wonder what became of Irene my Bible camp crush

10. Ava (despite not reaching the full understanding of the situation that Bea would like her to have) is emotionally smart, so whatever it is that's bothering Bea so much, she'll offer to listen to her, and if she isn't ready to do so, she can wait; but in the meantime she'll make damn sure to let Bea know that Beatrice isn't just 'barely acceptable', nor 'simply enough'. She is seen, she is full, whole and beautiful.

I did NOT need to have Beatrice thrusted upon me, introduced only to be taken away like this. I was living just fine without this knowledge, but yet here we are

Today on Italian class I was learning vocab to describe people and we got into this conversation about how Italians and Spaniards looked like and how tourists all looked the same and the kids especially are always identical whereas here it's impossible to mistake one sibling for another cause they don't really look the same (unless they're identical twins). Another Mediterranean win i guess.

[trabandovidas]

I love how Uruguayans are all like "ugh i can't understand shit in portuguese, i can't even form a proper sentence" and Brazilians are like "ugh i can't understand shit in spanish, i can't even form a proper sentence", and that is both said with frustration and the fucking deep desire to speak the other's language

But then you have this annual happening ?? where we go and take university level (!!!) classes in the other's language, and go to talks and academic conferences given entirely in the other's language and we go to the other's country and give them conferences in our language and we are all like, "ugh, ah, fuck, i can't speak shit in portuguese/ spanish, i'm so sorry i can't even form a proper sentence, I don't wish to inconvenience you, i just. can't :(" and the other one is all like "ye, ye, ye, don't worry, you just speak in your tongue, i can understand you, don't worry, i can't speak spanish/portuguese either, i don't even understand shit of it either. But i completely understand you giving me this university level class tho!, yeah no problem <3" like ???? sir???

This should probably go on my study/langblr but I’m more active on this account jfndkjfn. Nyla of the past would be very jealous of present day Nyla so even if my Japanese is far from perfect, it makes me happy to say even this much with my friend’s mom~ I’ve been watching more things without subtitles and understanding a comfortable chunk of it + interacting a lot more with the JP side of twitter. I just need to get a consistent speaking buddy. Maybe it’s time to try out HelloTalk again but if things go well with my transfer plans, I hope to get a part-time job where JP speakers frequent.

I’ve been trying to read more Japanese fanfic on twt from the Japanese side of fandoms I like so I definitely wanna learn more kanji in the upcoming year. I’m planning a trip to Mexico next year too so it’ll be good speaking Spanish on a more constant basis and not just texting friends.

And here’s hoping to having more time to study Portuguese as well since I was too busy with classes to schedule in time for it. There’s lots of languages I want to learn, but I think after Portuguese I’ll focus on Italian for literally no other reason than JJBA jfndkjf. 3 romance languages being bagged isn’t such a bad idea methinks

[bnnywngs]

this is going to be a long rant about personal experiences, sense of self, culture, and identity, and you're free to ignore, i just want it out of my chest

anyway

as i like to shout loud and clear, i'm proudly from north brazil, the amazon rainforest region to be specific, and that's very important detail to remember because it literally shaped almost everything i am now

in 1494 spain and portugal made a treat between them to divide the world between "this is mine and this is yours", and the spanish had most of the americas, only northeast and southeast(?) brazil was part of portugal's territory, but they only "discovered" brazil in 1500 and in 1540-something Francisco de Orellana (a spanish) decided to sail the amazon river and he "discovered" several rivers, indigenous tribes, including one rumored to be exactly like those tales from greece about the amazon warriors and that's why the name of the region is amazon, with a state in brazil named amazonas (where i'm from)

somehow, this region of brazil wasn't as sought after as the others like the south and southeast regions, this historically contributed in having the least population and, thus, money, and the region with more indigenous tribes (some intact and with no contact with "civilization") and mixed people (i'm one!), mostly mixed three times between european, african and indigenous

ok so after centuries brazil had so many different nationalities colonizing it's territory (like, SO MANY it's almost a joke), and although the north region wasn't as popular we had a lot of immigrants and the belle époque in the 19th(?) century, before the english did their thing and stole our rubber trees to plant in asia because it was cheaper and made us poor (manaus (capital of amazonas) was known as the paris of the tropics/paris in the amazon during this time), boosted our reputation and made us the destination for a lot of immigrants

my great-grandfather came from northeast brazil during this time and helped build our jewel - the amazon opera house in manaus! or at least that's what my grandma's older sisters told me, and he's one of the many from that part of the country that migrated here due to more job opportunities and etc

between this grand mix of nationalities in one place, their cultures started to get together too, and because of the great number of africans (once slaves, kidnapped from across the ocean) some of our biggest festivals were born - including the parintins folklore festival, created in 1965 in a tiny island at the edge of the state of amazonas

why am i talking about this? because it's important.

now, here's the thing

since i was little i always thought i was north brazilian and nothing more, it's only after i grew up more that i started to learn about "races" and etc, but still i thought of myself as simply a northerner and that was okay for most of my life, and i loved the folklore festival, but as we grew up, the mentality of our forefathers started to dig its roots inside our little brains, too

"i'm brazilian, but my family's from [european country]"

this is like the most common phrase you could, and still can, hear between teenagers

contrasting this, the parintins folklore festival is a mix between indigenous and african cultures, is a festival to remember our roots and celebrate it. "The festival celebrates a local legend about a resurrected ox. It is also a competition where two teams, Garantido and Caprichoso, compete in extended retellings of the story, each team attempting to outdo the other with flamboyant dances, singing, and parade floats. [...] Each nightly performance is largely based on local Amazonian folklore and indigenous culture, but also incorporates contemporary Brazilian rhythms and themes." - from Wikipedia.

i'm team garantido, by the way ♥️🤍

because of this mentality of "european is better" aka "white is better" largely due to racism but also because the government once encouraged white folk to marry black folk and have mixed kids to whitening the population, i always said my family's from portugal and that i was north brazilian, and it wasn't until like idk my 20 something??? that i watched John Leguizamo's stand-up "Latin History for Morons" that something clicked inside my brain (PLEASE WATCH IT)

most of my teenage life i had people turn up up their noses to me when i said i loved the folklore festival, i had some "friends" doing "jokes" about my skin color, my hobbies, the things i like, etc, and this is "normal" at this age, especially remembering that this happened between 2005-ish and 2011 (when i graduated), but at that time i didn't really understood what was going on

i can, now, proudly say i'm a black north brazilian woman

for so long i couldn't think of myself as a black woman like??? why?????? W H Y????? "my skin is too light" because you're mixed?! "i never had a hardship before because of my skin color" THANK THE GODS??!

i never realized the micro aggressions against my color and my northerner heritage - the lack of "nude" colors of my skin tone, lack of make-up for my skin, "i can't cosplay because i'm not white", the erasure of northerns in anything nationwide in brazil (and this still happens now, in 2024), the lack of north representation in nationwide anything and the priority southerners have in these same places

i want to go back to when i was 16 and someone laughed at me because i liked the folklore festival and say: this is our culture and we should be proud of it! no one has this, only us! this is ours and ours alone. be proud. also, bunny, please don't listen to them, stop pushing your love away, don't turn your back to the festival

i still think of myself as a northerner above everything but now i think why don't we have native languages in school? why we're taught so much about european history? we should study our local history more! stop looking down on natives, they're part of your own history, they were here before anyone else

before the european crown, we had the cocar

before the portuguese language, we had the tupi (and many, many others)

before god, we had yacy

why the incas, our neighbors, are thought with so much awe and the people from the other side of the andes are forgotten? brazilians, please stop this stray dog's way of thinking, you have your own culture, hype it up!

what the europeans did to us in the americas..... sigh

i'm glad i was born here, i'm glad i'm part of this culture, i wish i knew more about it and knew the language of, but i'm so, so glad to be here

it's tough, rough, sad, and i do envy sometimes, but here's good (most of the time) and i can be part of the festival every year without hiding from my friends (who also loves the festival and comes with me to see both ox) and it's so fun and it makes me so, so happy

i love the folklore festival so much, i love the white ox with a red heart in its forehead so, so much!! the first time i cried listening to music was in 2000, when i was listening garantido's album from that year , i want to talk about it, write fanfics with my culture in it....

i'm the happiest with my culture so you should, too

if anyone laughs at you or makes jokes about it or it's just racist/xenophobic you can just tell them i said vai tomar no cu seu arrombado do caralho ♥️

(also you can watch the festival on youtube, here's the 1rst night 2024)

[lgbthv]

oh... he IS an artist like

[xreader-writing]

Someone better | LN4 and FC43

Prologue

Sumarry: Lando is treating his girl badly, but thank God one Argentine is more than happy to do everything he doesn't do.

Pairing: Franco Colapinto X Driver!Reader | Lando Norris X Driver!Reader

WC:1.265

(WARNINGS:) Abusive relationship, manipulation, machismo, sexism, Lando is a complete idiot here, sorry! 😔

A/N: Since Y/n is Brazilian (And in Brazil we speak Portuguese and not Spanish) Franco and she will speak English to each other most of the time, okay?

How do you realize you're in an abusive relationship? When do you realize? Do you... Do you realize it?

Is it when it gets more violent? Or is it already extreme?

Lando isn't violent, but he is aggressive, that always confuses Y/n.

She's only 21, for God's sake, she got her place in F1 this year when she was called up to replace Checo for the entire 2024 season, yes, she signed with Redbull and is now partnered with Max Verstappen

When she started her relationship with Lando, it was very different, well, I think that's the problem with an abusive relationship, you only realize it when it's too late, and sometimes, unfortunately, you don't even realize it.

Lando was handsome, sweet, affectionate and fun, it was impossible not to fall in love with him, but...

Y/n thinks she can remember the first time he acted strangely.

It was when she was in P1 for the first time, Max was in P2 and Charles got P3, she remembers trying to greet Lando, but he walked right past her, making her feel completely embarrassed with so many cameras filming the event.

"He's just frustrated and tired." That's what she thought.

To make matters worse, Lando didn't go to celebrate with her, only God knows where that boy got himself into that night, but she doesn't want to think about it too much.

That was supposed to be her moment, but he managed to ruin everything.

"Enjoy your night, you deserve it so much." She remembers Chales saying that with his hand on her shoulder and a comforting smile.

After a few days he simply went back to normal without saying a single word about it, as if he hadn't broken her heart into little pieces.

The second time it was actually Max who noticed it, well, he adopted Y/n as his little sister, and he really loved her as if she were.

He was in the paddock when he arrived at the Redbull carriage and came face to face with Lando and Y/n in a distant corner.

It wasn't uncommon to see them in each other's garages, but Max frowned when he saw Y/n half-curdling while Lando spoke non-stop in an aggressive and low tone, only for her to hear.

Max got even more irritated when he saw Lando's expression change when he saw the cameras approaching.

He needed to have a little talk with Y/n.

Later that day, Max managed to catch Y/n alone and he couldn't miss the opportunity.

"Hey." He approaches smiling and she forces a smile.

"Hi Max."

"I wanted to ask you something, I don't want to be nosy or anything, but is everything okay?" Max notices that Y/n's hands are shaking so much that she can't open her can.

"It's okay, I just...fucking can." Max smiles weakly, takes the can from her hand and opens it in a second.

"You know he can't treat you like that, right?" Max says, giving the can back to her, who lowers her head a little uncomfortably.

"He's just kind of nervous and frustrated too."

Max laughs in disbelief upon hearing this.

"What kind of shitty excuse is that? He might have the worst day of his life, but he has to respect you." Y/n doesn't know what to do upon hearing Max say this.

"It's okay, Max, I...I like him." Max sighs and puts her hand on the young woman's shoulder.

"You'll always have me, okay? Even if you go to another team, whichever team you go to, you'll still have me, I promise." Those few words made Y/n's day 100% better.

The third time was a little more problematic, Y/n wasn't having a good day, and to make matters worse, the reporters seemed to sexualize her in every question, damn it.

"Why are you so glum?" Lando says, approaching her and taking her hand.

"I just don't understand why they have to sexualize me in every possible question." She says quietly and Lando scoffs.

"You're a woman and you're Latina, what do you expect them to do?" Y/n looks at her boyfriend confused.

"What do you mean?"

"Come on Y/n, are you going to say you don't like this kind of attention? All this attention they give you?"

"You think I like being harassed? What's your problem?" Y/n lets go of his hand, and he's quick to pull her hand back, squeezing it a little tighter this time.

"Are you trying to put on a show for others now?" He says quietly, looking into Y/n's eyes, and she just wants to scream and run away.

But there are already too many lies and distorted stories about her out there, so she just turns her face away so she doesn't have to look at him, and forces a smile when Oscar and Charles approach to talk to them.

After that, Y/n thinks her mental health is hanging by a thread, the reporters make her seem like a gold digger, that she's only there to sleep with all the drivers, her boyfriend makes her feel ungrateful and crazy, and the haters won't stop trying to kill her once and for all.

But...

In the middle of all this, someone showed up...

Franco Colapinto

Franco and Y/n had known each other since the F2 days, they always laughed a lot and joked together, when Y/n went to F1, Franco cried with emotion with her.

But he knew how much she would be missed.

But now he's at Williams replacing Logan.

When he arrived at F1, he was all joy, Franco got to talk to his favorite drivers, and that was a dream come true, but when he turned around and saw Y/n drinking water and with a completely worried expression, he felt his legs a little wobbly.

"Holy shit, she's still beautiful."

Ele sempre a seguia na~~s redes sociais, mas vê-la tão de perto...

As if she could feel someone looking at her, Y/n turned and met Franco's eyes.

He smiled and waved and she waved back smiling with her mouth closed.

But he needed more, so unable to contain himself, he excused himself to the people around him and practically ran to Y/n.

"hola mi hermosa." Franco pulled her into a hug that she happily returned.

"I missed you so much." Y/n says and Franco smiles more.

When they let go of each other, Franco notices the dark circles under her eyes, and her smile that seems a little forced.

"Congratulations on your pole, it was more than deserved."

"Oh Franco, It's been months."

"Uau? Você me deixou ~~tão orgulhosa e feliz." S/n sorri e balança a cabeça.

"Thank you, it was a dream come true for sure, and I know I'll see you up there soon too." She smiles and Franco's heart races even faster, he had completely forgotten the power she had over him.

"Fuck, I forgot about that." Franco thinks.

Before Franco could say anything, Lando appears looking for Y/n.

"Come on Y/n, let's go have lunch." He takes Y/n's hand and looks Franco up and down.

"Hey, man." Lando lets go of Y/n's hand and offers it to Franco, who smiles as he shakes Lando's hand.

"See you around Franco." Y/n says smiling softly and Lando takes her hand pulling her with him.

Franco's smile fades as they walk away and he sighs self-consciously.

"Fuck, I forgot about that too!"
