E está no ar “Carne crua”, cena extra de Garras que foi deletada no processo de edição! Está do pov de Edgar, e dá um bom destaque para o Guido (fãs do Guido, uni-vos!!).

Tem também um pouquinho do que estou mirabolando para esse ano. Vem que é de graça e é muito melhor que injeção na testa.

I need at least one more commission of at least $20 USD on Vgen to be verified (and get access to unlimited portfolio and services), so if you want a character sketch, please consider me!

Sem falar do merda-mor, a gente na realidade tendo deputado federal que é PASTOR E SARGENTO MILITAR AO MESMO TEMPO e os caras metendo umas dessas, sabe
Tipo esse imbecil reclamando que o vilão do filme é caricato.

Os políticos no Congresso tão fazendo serão pra tirar da prisão o vilão mais caricato que existe no nosso país, um cara que tirou sarro em Rede Nacional de pessoas sufocando por falta de ar.

Tu mora aonde, caralho?

You can now join my Patreon for as low as $1 a month and support me while I manage writing with a disability. 💪💪💪 And you get to learn some fun facts about the past. Maybe you haven't heard of Verna Felton's name or recognize her face, but you might know her voice from classic Disney films.
New on Patreon: Before Verna Felton became famous for her matriarchal roles in radio, films, and television, she was a child performer in stock theater.

Você não precisa gostar de todas as partes do processo de produção de uma arte, mas é importante passar por todas elas!

Uma coisa que algumas críticas de "O Agente Secreto" mostram é que o pessoal tá tão acostumado com o esquema narrativo do filmes de Holywood (que tem variantes, mas tá lá) que qualquer coisa que foge deste esquema é ALIENÍGENA pra eles.

Best advice for social media:

Don't let yourself think follower counts are indicative of skill and experience. Don't trust someone's advice just bc they have more followers than you.

Don't assume you have nothing to learn from someone who only has 20 followers.

Tem essa conversa recorrente sobre não-artistas terem uma admiração muito grande por realismo, como se realismo fosse a coisa mais difícil de fazer.

Realismo é literalmente o básico. É como a gente começa.
Eu queria que o povo parasse de colocar realismo num pedestal.
