Alright, it is not the first time this happens, and it's really getting on my nerves.
First off, a few things:

– Not all Brazilians can samba, or even appreciate the genre/dance;
– Not all Brazilians are corrupt;
– Not all Brazilians are into your culture and/or know anything about it, in except for a few movies that, once again, not all Brazilians have watched;
– Not all Brazilians are nerds that collect every single piece of memorabilia from popular things in our country;
And, most of all, and most importantly,
BRAZILIANS. ARE. NOT. EXOTIC.

We are your fellas, citizens of the World, and we deserve to be treated as such. I don't care if you spent your whole life watching movies like Rio or Assalto ao Banco Central (unlikely, but hey, miracles happen), THEY. ARE. NOT. THE. REALITY. It's fiction. Every fiction is based off of a reality, but it's not the rule. We have the same good people/bad people ratio as any other country, we have our likes and dislikes like any other country, we live and behave, as amazing as it may seem, like. any. other. country. Researching doesn't kill, and stopping to stereotype people based off of their nationality doesn't hurt either.

Next time, think twice before asking me to do a Lilo and Stitch/Zé Carioca collab or assume I have rare Monica's Gang HQs.

Sincerely yours,
A tired Brazilian.

1. What's the hardest part in writing?
Finding a starting point. There's so many perspectives you can play with while writing and choosing just the perfect one is hard as shit. Also, erm... writer's block, ya know?

2. Knock knock...
Really hope it's my pizza.

4. Favorite colors?
Black and white.

5. Apple or Android?
Apple. Fuck Android.

6. What is the battery level of your device?
100%. It's charging.

7. Do you hate candy?
No, but I like savory flavors the best.

8. What's your favorite holiday?
HOW CAN THEY KNOW IT'S CHRISTMAS TIME AT AAAAALLLLL?! But Carnaval is a close second. A whole week without classes, for fuck's sakes!

9. What's your favorite TV show?
Bodyguard (for foreign), BoJack Horseman (for animation), Breaking Bad. If you haven't watched them, watch. All are on Netflix.

10. One fact about you?
I would make an excellent getaway driver. You wouldn't believe the accidents I've avoided with my driving skills.

11. All time fave cartoon?
BoJack Horseman. Not really a cartoon, but... eh, animated. It counts.

12. Whats your fave character from any franchise?
Moana from Moana.

13. How many OCs do you have?
More than I can count.

14. What inspired you to write?
A sort of call I can't understand.

15. What do you think of crystals?
Shiny and powerful.

16. Favorite food?
Eesh. Can't possibly choose.

17. What games do you like?
D&D.

18. Tea or coffee?
Neither.

19. Favorite movie?
Tie between Rocketman and Daddy's Home 2.

20. What season do you like the most?
Winter. Cozy clothes and hot cocoa.

And now, a poem, based off of Bertold Brecht's work:

First, they tagged Senior members.
But I didn't care about it. I wasn't a Senior member.

Then, they tagged Beta Testers.
But I didn't care about it. I wasn't a Beta Tester.

Later, they tagged Core Members.
But I didn't care about it. I wasn't a Core Member.

Furthermore, they tagged Volunteers.
But I didn't care about it. I wasn't a Volunteer.

Now, they aren't tagging me, but it's already too late.
As I didn't care about getting tagged or not, no one cares to tag me.
But I didn't care to tag anyone, either.
