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.

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.

A Study on Magic and Crystals is out now!

Talita must travel to the fairy city to learn magic and count on the necromancer Marcela, and the fairy Solis for help! Together, they learn a lot about themselves.

Banner with the cover of A Study on Magic and Crystals, by May Barros, and a list of things that can be found in the book, with arrows from the things to the cover. The cover shows the main characters: a fairy with short pink hair, white skin and pink wings; a black human princess with afro hair, wearing a pearly crown and a yellow ballgown, while she makes crystals float between her hands; and a human necromancer with white skin, black chanel hair and a skeletal cat on her shoulder. The list of things reads: magic everywhere; queerplatonic and polyamorous relationships; a skeletal cat; agender fairies; aroace, alloaro and demiace rep; only one bed but they asked for it; roadtrip; everybody is neurodivergent.

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.
