#Brazil does not deserve Taylor

[bookishtheaterlover7]

Scrolling through the internet and I stumbled upon this. And I couldn't agree more!

Now, to those saying she should take responsibility, she honestly shouldn't be held accountable, when she tried to help the Swifties who needed water, and she's still helping them. Hold the venue and its owners accountable, because they're still not allowing water in with the crowd.

And what the hell is she supposed to do about an armed robbery gone wrong?! Chase down the robber to ensure that every person who attends the concert won't get robbed?!

Y'all are really fucked in the head for thinking that.

And if you still blame her. Then you were never a true Swiftie to begin with.

#booky reacts #we love you taylor #we will stay #it's not your fault #Brazil does not deserve Taylor #eras tour #the eras tour #eras tour brazil #🫶 #only true Swifties will stay #for you fakes we don't want you here

This year was an eye opener for me.. I do like her music but the way she acts, woah. I genuinely liked Joe and was a bit sad when they broke up because i thought they fit each other well, but boy am I glad they're broken up seeing how immature she has been acting and how mature he has been. You've a 35 year old woman who's embarrassing herself just to get back at her ex (not even her most recent ex, i still remembermatty scandal) and for what?? To make him feel jealous??? To make him feel bad about leaving her??? Its sad that so many of her swifties who are legit adults would bully another person for not wanting to marry and have babies with their queen instead of coming after genuinely horrid people who have done wayyy worse (including their global warming queen), but no, they only care about blondie and how she has been wronged by her exes because she and her BFF selena are the ultimate victims. It's so funny how they "care" so much about their queen who let's bffr doesn't give two shitsabout them individually. I just saw a swiftie talk about all the things taylor has been through in Brazil and all saying no one deserves it, and while it surely is bad to have someone die at your concert, but yk who has been through more??? Ana's loved ones, all those affected by the wars going on in the world and like the people getting affected by her pollution, its winter but I had to carry a hat on an outing w my friends because its unusually hot here and while I do have empathy for some of the bad stuff she has gone through like being groped, all my empathy does tend to vanish when she willingly associates w sa apologists or uses private jets to get some dick.. if she was a nobody acting so childishly, it wouldn't have mattered so much but she literally has a huge impact with her actions, as spiderman movies once said, with great power comes great responsibility, ig blondie only wants the power and none of the responsibilities.. its kind of disappointing considering I once looked up to her but nvm so many of her fans are so tired of her, especially us poc.. a few of the swifties ik are also tired of her shenanigans since she started the Joe hate train and dated matty..

i think people wouldn’t complain as much about the 1830 line (don��t get me wrong, it’s a cringe ass line even within the context of the song and the emily dickinson* connection) if swifties weren’t know for being racists. i think they don’t see themselves as racists, but it’s not uncommon to see them just being extremely shitty towards beyoncé for example, some people were saying cowboy carter will win aoty just because jay-z complained at the ceremony, as if black artists can’t win awards because they worked hard for it. and then, when the eras tour in brazil happened, i saw swifties being xenophobic and racist, saying that brazil didn’t deserve taylor, that it was an unsafe place etc. they also say beyoncé fans use racism as a crutch** because it’s the only excuse they have to say beyoncé deserves recognition.

i’m talking about beyoncé because it seems like the longest “rivalry” (since the 2009 vmas and now the movies), but yeah, it’s weird to see comparisons with mj, and some swifties also shit talked zendaya last year when she liked one of taylor’s posts

*if you want to reference emily at least cut the golden retriever line lmao

**english is not my first language so i don’t know if i made myself clear sorry

she references emily dickinson???? emily dickinson did not spend her life as a lesbian reclusive writer to be co opted by taylor swift my god 😭

TRUE the 1830’s line is made MUCH worse because of how racist swifties are point blank period. theyre deeply delusional ppl and i have no idea what they consider racist when they literally respond to black ppl who point out taylor’s white privilege with “the race card” and call Beyoncé’s music “zimbawbe ringtone sales” (no im not joking look it up). when they saw taylor’s wealth surpassed kanye’s and said taylor could “buy” him as a #own like how much more blatant can you get in your racism (why does she still have black fans?!?).

swifties truly and honestly must listen to no other artist except taylor swift because of the way they act about black music. they really do think black people are #diversityhires and the awards we receive for our work are out of pity/anti racism rather than legitimate achievements. and telling Beyoncé fans they use racism as a crutch as if 1989 winning over To Pimp A Butterfly wasn’t peak racism. and swifties shit talking brazil isnt surprising because of how racist they are. they truly honestly hate brown and black people and view this thin blonde haired blue eyed white woman as the most superior and wonder why everyone calls them racist 😭

its always funny when swifties try to compare miss swift to Beyoncé as if Beyoncé didn’t have her first #1 by the time Taylor was 9 years old. They’re not even contemporaries. Beyoncé literally escorted Taylor back on stage after the MTV incident as if she was escorting a child. It’s so inappropriate to compare those two artists by age alone, let alone TALENT. Also swifties talked about Zendaya for LIKING one of taylor swift’s posts????? why?????

"I mean, it kills me when I see models like Kaia Gerber getting roles in a film like "Bottoms" with more lines than what Zendaya had in "Spider-Man Homecoming", when Zendaya has actually been acting since she was a KID (something that Kaia Gerber has not), and was leading shows when she was still a teenager. It just goes to show that when you're rich, have privilege, and are a Nepobaby, you can basically get things handed to you...whether you have talent or not. 🙄 It's just irksome. "

Its really is frustrating to see WOC (lik Z) being sidelined or underutilized, esp when they r talented n have the experience and white women who get granted jobs no matter how unqualified they are. It sucks bt i'll say Z specifically has smthn these (unqualufied) women dnt- a supportive fanbase.

No offence, bt very few ppl r going to a movie soley for a Kaia or Lily Rose. I only know Lily from that Netflix movie (that Timmy was in too) n many ppl were disappointed that she replaced Anya taylor in the Nosferatu movie thats coming in bcuz going from Anya (who does have priviledge), to Lily was seen as a downgrade to most. Ppl were dreading Kaia being in Bottoms cuz she was horrible in a LEAD role in AHS n ppl still are dreading her beimg in her side roles now. She is in a new series role with Laura Dern (her mommas friend 🙃) and this new movie called Shell (with other yt nepo babies) n most ppl still dnt care or see her as a untalented nepo baby. They def r getting more roles bt do ppl actually support them? Very few. Nt to say they cant grow a fanbase, their young white woman i have no doubt, bt sometimes money cant even buy genuine interest. Tbh i only really know these 2 women as (imo, mediocre) models and the ppl who they associate them with (their parents/partner), i dnt really look forward to their editorials or acting work (thats just me).

Z has ppl reposting her magazine covers, excited to see her movies/shows, and mad when shes in a movie for 10 minutes lol. Brazil fans wete giving her the loudest applause during that comic con. Plus 10+ yrs of acting experience. Shes grown a fanbase and garnered interest from ppl, whether its an actual fan or a local who is like "i dnt care for celebrities bt i like Zendaya." Like i said It sucks when shes underutilized in these big movies bt i loom forward to movies like Challengers where shes the LEAD and folks excited for HER and her talent n hardwork that shes deserved.

Srry for the rant lol

No, I totally get it Anon. It's definitely very frustrating. It almost makes me wonder how some ppl keep getting roles when they're THAT BAD of an actress lol 😆

But like you said, we all know it's due to privilege and nepotism. 🤷🏾‍♀️

And as you mentioned, some of these nepobabies might be getting roles, but they're not gaining huge fandoms. Some nepos have to call the paps just to keep relevant and appear to have fans when they really don't have fans like that lol 😂

Just watch.... With Dune Part 2 coming out in March and killing the box office, and then Challengers releasing right after that in April, there are gonna be a ton of fans backing Zendaya this year. 😁🥰

This year is going to be an awesome one! 😁

[chrkrose]

Ana became an inconvenience. To her, and to international swifties who are angry that Brazilians aren’t kissing her ass and are holding her accountable for the horrendous treatment she displayed towards LATAM fans.

Oh my God! This is horrendous and beyond awful. The rest of Brazil shouldn't show up to her shows. Like, let her stadium stink. Ana's death is what is by law called a wrongful death. It happened because of Taylor and her team's and concert organizers's negligence to prepare for the heatwave. That's a public liability claim that Ana's family should pursue.

The sad thing is she and her team could have just spoken to Ana's mother and got real with her and helped her out. I doubt she wants to sue anyone. Latam fans are kind. Fans outside America are kind. I think Taylor and her idiot of a team thought that people outside of America are as bad as they are so they treated Ana's death as a liability. This shows that Taylor never really cared about her fans. She only wants their money. Latam fans should rally against her. So inhuman. The Taylor they all thought was the kind little girl and was bullied by Scooter Braun was long gone. She's become heartless. She's become soulless.

I wish people would not show up but I also understand that this is not going to happen. They spent a lot of money on tickets that they won’t be able to get back, and many of them had wanted to go to her concert for years. But she deserved an empty stadium. Taylor doesn’t deserve even half of what she has, first because she’s a terrible person and second because she’s a mediocre singer/songwriter/performer

Ana’s family has been nothing but gracious, they even excused her on Sunday night saying she probably didn’t know about what was going on (which we know it’s a lie; she DOES know). If she had offered at least a word of comfort. I’m not even talking about money here (even though she’s a billionaire, she should help out of compassion), but not even a word of kindness? They lost their only daughter.

[thisselflovecamebacktome]

Really sad that this happend and i know taylor must be feeling really bad (even tho it was not her fault at all!!!!)

Here in Brasil i went to a concert on a 35⁰C day and you couldn't bring water bottle but they were selling a lot inside and during the show they were giving for free. Some people passed out but no one died yk?

All so sad. Now a family is ruined and the whole vibe is just eerie and off. Like obvsly really happy, but the first time someone d*ed.

Yeah like here in Australia it is not uncommon at all to have venues (whether they be indoor or outdoor) to refuse you to bring in water, even on 35C+ days. But as I've mentioned in tags, they have security at the front of every pit/standing area handing out free cups of water all night and multiple places to buy bottles for anyone sitting down (or even standing up and wanting a bottle I guess). And like we don't even have the humidity Brazil does. Like as someone who recently went to far more humid, but just as hot places than the parts of Australia I frequent for the first time, I cannot imagine not having a shit ton of water/other liquids throughout this concert. It honestly just upsets me so much that at "best" this was negligent to the point that someone had to give up their life for it.

In saying that, I'm glad you had a good time. Given how long Brazil has waited for Taylor, you all deserved to and I'm so fucking sorry that it's been tainted like this. It never should have gone down like that.

September MC & OCs of the Month - Special Edition: Casey Valentine

Help us in welcoming September's MCs and OCs of the month! That's right, plural! Most months, CFWC highlights one randomly selected MC or OC from our Meet My MC / OC List. (More info here.) But this month, we're doing something different.

In August, @lilyoffandoms hosted a Writers Appreciation Month, and we announced the September Writer of the Month would be selected from its participants. But all participants agreed - Lily deserved the honor! Still, we wanted to do something nice for the eleven writers who elected to participate to help uplift other writers in the fandom. So, this month, each of the eleven participants will have one of their MCs or OCs highlighted.

We will introduce each MC / OC individually, and once all eleven have been highlighted, a masterlist for the month will be created. We hope you enjoy getting to know all about them!

The second MC of the Month is @coffeeheartaddict2 's Casey Valentine!

Learn more about Casey below!

In your own words, tell us what you like most about your MC. 

I like that she does not give up, even when things may seem hopeless with Mrs. M. she found a way, with Willow and Rowan, and in her career, instead of giving up, how can we better this, also helps that the hospital administration is on board with helping all, not just the some but still. 

Do you feel your MC is like you at all? How are you alike or different?

Her fears are the same as mine; like me, she had a missed miscarriage. We both like to help and do not like injustices in the world, so in that regard, we are similar. 

What is most important to your MC? What is their motivation in life?

Helping others and giving back to the community that you serve. This was instilled into her by her parents and grandparents. Her grandad served as a medic in the army, and when he finished his service, he became a GP in Delaware. 

What are their biggest pet peeves/dislikes?

Dishonesty, greed, misogyny. Casey is not afraid to call people out on it, especially if it is blatant. She was very pleased with herself when she called Landry out on it after he was fired from Edenbrook in When Egos Collide. She does see that some lies, like Santa etc. do not cause harm, but lies that hurt Casey have little time for. 

If your MC could change one thing - anything - what would it be?

In some ways, Casey regrets giving Ethan some space between when he took his job back and when he left for Brazil. She did so try to think of a workable solution before speaking to him. She did not think of one, and then he left. He messaged her sorry before boarding the plane, but she never knew what he was sorry for. 

What is your MC’s favorite quote or song?

She does not really have a favourite quote. She does have several songs she loves

Can’t Always Get What You Want- Rolling Stones

Bridge Over Troubled Water- Simon and Garfunkel

All You Need is Love - The Beatles 

Hey Jude- The Beatles

With a little help from my friends- The Beatles

Everlong- Foo Fighters

My Hero - Foo Fighters

Maybe I’m Amazed- Paul McCartney

Gone Away - The Offspring

Numb- Linkin Park 

In the End- Linkin Park

All Too Well- Taylor Swift

Good Riddance - Greenday

Is there anything else you’d like to share about your MC:

I started writing because I was encouraged by a group chat I was in at the time. I decided to redo initially book 2 ch14-20 as there were some things that I wanted to happen. I never thought that I would be here and a whole world.

The Eras Tour Brazil

Hey Taylor!

The Eras Tour is starting again soon. How exciting?? I can't believe that so many of my friends will get to see you on tour with the international dates. Most of them next year. But one of my best friends will go to following dates this year: 11/17, 11/18, 11/24 and 11/25. Tri has never seen you live before so you coming to Brazil is a dream come true for her. And she's been able to get tickets to FOUR shows. A lot of fighting, but she did it! And the days Tri have been waiting for, well lets just say for the longest time, is almost here. (How long you've been a Swiftie doesn't matter, being here from the start doesn't make you better.) Tri has been there for you throughout all of those horrible times. She's been there supporting you, loving you and standing up for you. And you've noticed that, that's why you follow her. I'm so happy you follow her because she's just the best. I'm going to tell you a little bit about her:

Tri is a person with a heart made of gold. Her life hasn't always been easy, but your music has been there for her at many of those times. No matter what Tri is going through in her own life, she's always an amazing person. She's so kind! And such a good friend! If I have a bad day, she's one of the first persons I want to go to, because I know she will listen and care. BUT she's also the kind of person you want to go to if you're having a great day, because she's going to make that joy even bigger.

The reason I'm writing to you Taylor, is beacuse I'd like to ask if you'd consider making this year extra special for Tri? Because with everything she does for others, she really do deserve something special back. And the most amazing thing for her, would be something that involves you.

Anyways, can't wait to see you again next year. I love you so much!

Day 3 (should have been 5 but this week has been killing me, sorry love, but I will try to make up for it) of trying to get @taylorswift s attention so @taylorcometobrazil can get the 22 hat or meet Taylor at The Eras Tour in South America.

[whatiwillsay]

i know you are usually the first to put a stop to misinformation and you always evaluate issues with evidence from all sides so i say this respectfully and not as an attack or criticism. The idea that Taylor will be “held responsible” if she helps Ana’s family or talk about her or that paying for the funeral is “an admission of guilt” is false. That is not possible under Brazilian law. In America, yes, but American law does not apply in Brazil. Brazilian fans have been saying this and every white american swiftie on twitter is speaking over them. Brazil has a completely different legal system than America, the situation people are describing is not possible. There are people saying absolutely vile things about Brazil as a country and it’s like everyone moved on and forgot Ana, she deserves better, from Taylor and from the community.

i'm not posting ab this anymore because there are too many unknowns. i'm surprised to learn brazil doesn't have wrongful death lawsuits but i can't find anything on google ab it so i'm gonna take your word for it.

swifties being xenophobic toward brazil rn sucks and i'm not for that i'm for sharing good information and speculation rooted in logic.

the last thing i will say is taylor is being advised by american lawyers and i think it's logical to speculate they are advising her to act based on their knowledge of wrongful death lawsuits in america and that is not to excuse any of her behavior because i'm not here to excuse her i have no interest in "defending her" it's just adding some context. i think in time she will do something for ana's family.

and that's the last thing i'm gonna say about it. i'm not excusing taylor nor am i "scolding" Brazilians as someone else accused me of in another anon. i am trying to have a discussion about what is happening and why that is happening that is rooted in facts and logical speculation. but i agree at the end of the day it's not really my place. so i won't be posting anything else about it.

[otrtbs]

Naaaaaaaaat!! Hi, hello! I'm so glad you are here again!

I'm reading the goldfinch (yep, it's your fault) and a)I can't with how sad it is (orphans, orphans everywhere!) but I'm loving it anyway (I mean, I have an obsession with a group of dead, traumatized wizards, sad is kind of my thing 😂) and b) the way she treats time (time passing, memories, ideas about time) is so beautiful.

I have read maybe 25% of it but I'm loving it, just work gets in the middle of everything 🤷🏻‍♀️ and I can't read properly. I just have to fit snippets here and there. I'm hopping to finishing it at the end of this month in my holidays.

Ah! And I REALLY MISSED YOUR ASK BOX BECAUSE TIMMY WAS WITH TAYLOR IN VENICE LIKE THE EMBODIMENT OF THE BRAZILIAN SHUTTERS. I mean, I screamed anyway but I'd have wanted to scream here, hehe 😅

So, hi, hello! Welcome! And because this is an ask and deserves asking things: How is everything? How are you? Have you seen or read something lately and thought "oh, that specially beautiful"?

Hope you're having a great day 💜

ahhh hello!!!! <33

you’re reading the goldfinch!!!!! ahhhh!!! <3333

it does give a very Charles Dickens vibe w the orphans , i can’t lie haha the whole book is very sad, but it’s very beautiful !!!!

TIMMY AND TAYLOR IN VENICE WERE SO BRAZIL SHUTTER CODED I SCREAMED WHEN I SAW THEM TOO HAHAHA

everything is good!! I’m in Scotland!! i officially move into my place tomorrow morning (which is gonna be hell hauling all my stuff around bc the streets are closed bc the queen but I’ll survive haha)

also !! I went to the museum here and saw some of degas dancers and thought they were very beautiful !! (sorry for the quality I was shaking when I saw them bc I was geeked)

I hope you are well and everything is good with you!!! :,)) <33

part 1 &lt;- part 2 <- back into the pit we go!!

therese - maya hawke kipps?? trying to rizz up lucy?? lockwood thinks not he comes to the rescue 'therese does not belong to you/the horses, cars, and cowboys do' type beat (ps ik what the song is about its for locklyle purposes)

youre somebody else - flora cash imagine how different norrie would be if she came back :) atlantis - seafret oh my god lucy is losing her SHIT after a more intense case where lockwood almost died (again) and they had gotten in a fight just before he put himself in immediate danger and shes just sitting on her bed thinking about it and how if he died the last words she said to him wouldve been harmful. shootout - izzamuzzic eepy vibes after a talk that lasted late into the night. apocalypse - cigarettes after sex this is self explanatory methinks?. tried - beabadoobe hes so tired of living. he just wants to rest [read as: die] lucy said no. they talk for hours one day, george is also there chiming in at appropriate times, they all fall asleep on lockwoods bed and lucy wakes up before the rest of them to make tea and brings it back to the room and they talk more :). telephone - waterparks au where lucy was on fittes team before joining lockwood and co and theyre btoh just watching eachother from afar for a bit <33. cough it out - the front bottoms the repeated 'i am delusional with love' is so both of them :( they both think the other one doesnt like them back. headache - rigby this could be both lockwood and lucy feeling like theyre weighing the other/the team down. it fits very well with either of them. god must hate me - catie turner very much stemming from lucy's in depth descriptions of her insecurities in the books, especially about "not being as pretty as other girls". (this doesnt relate to the song but the fact that we're outside of her head for the show is so nice because we can see that lockwood has literally been head over heels for her since the beginning and he loves her just the way she is). fool - frankie cosmos lockwood feels like he'll never be able to have her. he thinks shes to good for him :(. haunt me 3x - teen suicide lockwood braiding lucys hair after a panic attack, it helps him feel grounded <33 (im so unoriginal im sorry). listen before i go - billie eilish im not even gonna explain this one. figure it out. your hint is: lockwood. anyone else but you - the moldy peaches theyre so perfect for eachother. they dont even think other people are attractive because theyre so engulfed in their love for one another. i want what they have. funny you should ask - the front bottoms the in between stage before they where together and lockwood is. being angsty as usual. style - taylor swift THEY NEVER GO OUT OF STYLE!!!!! back to the old house 2011 remaster - the smiths lucy talking about the town she grew up in, telling lockwood about her mom, about her friends, more about norrie, about everyone else. shes crying, hes crying, george is crying. theyre all crying and drinking tea. leni (crystal castles vs goodbooks) - goodbooks, crystal castles mmm yes i sense yet another lucy panic attack in the shower after a rough job where lockwood put himself in direct danger once again. iris - the goo goo dolls oh my GODDD ITS SO LOCKWOOD 'id give up forever to touch you' WITH HIS LITTLE 'forever is composed of nows' ON THE THINKING CLOTH PLEASE LUCY MEANS SO MUCH TO HIM. brazil - declan mckenna them being Teenagers TM beach episode edition just imagine them all playing in the water at a nice beach on vacation (obv they arent still in the uk bc their beaches are Sad but like they went somewhere with nice beaches for a well deserved vacation. does london fall to shit without them? probably!! do they care? no!!). jesus this is such a ridiculously long series i am so so sorry go to part 4!!

My Opinions on Dream Academy:

The Contestants:

Top 10:

1. Sophia:

THE IT GIRL. She's an ultimate ace. She sings, she dances, she can do it all. There's nothing she can't do. Everything you can think, Sophia can do. She cooks and she is so well-spoken, articulated and sophisticated(maybe because her dad is a well-known filipino politician), definitely leader vibes. She is so caring and kind with everyone and it's just so talented! Sometimes, I even wonder if she's human! Sophia Elizabeth G. Laforteza, real human beings got to have flaws! Why don't you have any???

2. Lara:

She serves vocals, and dance, and visual, and VOCALS. She just has so much attitude. I don't know how to explain it but she has an aura, a whole vibe around her that just makes you want to watch her more. She just seems so confident(see what I did there) and she just looks like a sassy boss ready to run the world. She deserves all the good things in the world!

3. Daniela:

She can do it all! She can sing well and dance almost flawlessly. Definitely competing with Megan for Main Dancer position. Having said that, I knew she was popular and talented, but she never really got much my attention. I feel neutral about her. My only problem with her is that, no:She does not represent latam. Katseye does not have a member that represents latin america. That would have been the case only if Samara from Brazil or Celeste from Argentina(or both) made it to the final lineup. "Latina" is not just some label you can go and identify yourself as. In the latin community there is a general consent when someone can be considered latino or not and Daniela does not meet all the requirements. You don't need to be born in a latin country but If you don't know how to speak portuguese(brazil's official language), french(haiti's official language) or spanish(all the other latin america's countries official language) in a higher level than what Daniele gives, don't have a close connection to latin america(parents or grandparents) and never been to one latin america country and don't know and understand their culture and at least a few of its deepest aspects from UP CLOSE and their story with collonization, legacy and the current overall situation of the continent and reality of the people who live there, you're not latino. Simple as that(and as far as I'm concerned, it works like that for basically anywhere in the world, with little variations). Daniela's level of Spanish so far seems to be the basics of the basic. Me, a brazilian, native portuguese speaker, that watched many spanish speaking shows like Violetta, Soy Luna, Bia, Soy Franky, Kally's Mashup, Club 57, etc, I seem to have a better spanish than her. Also, Daniela knows Cuban music and dances from her household...What about Venezuela? Has she never been to any of those countries? Not even once? Music and dancing styles are only two aspects of the culture, what about the rest? What does she know about it? And knowing about the USA's education system, specially in regards to geography, I wonder if she can even point out Cuba and Venezuela on a map. And y'all can't blame me for being skeptical about it. Everybody knows USA are made fun of and seen as an international joke because of how dumb their education system is and how low the overall citizen knowledge is(some americans themselves recognize it). I know there are stupid people everywhere in the world, but USA is something else. Just watch "* type continent here * according to Americans" and "What is the dumbest thing an American has ever said to you?", you'll be surprised. I know we can not generalize and not all Americans are like this, but you can't deny there is a reason why USA has that kind of content made about them the most. It is a real problem and I hope they can fix it soon.

Back to the latina topic, take a look at Rachel Zegler, Jenna Ortega and Anya Taylor-Joy for example. Rachel Zegler doesn't represent Colombia and Jenna Ortega doesn't represent Mexico but Anya Taylor-Joy represents Argentina. That because unlike Rachel and Jenna, Anya Taylor-Joy speaks fluent spanish and lived in Argentina until she was six years old and still travels there from time to time. Rachel and Jenna have latino parents. That's it. That's all. Unlike Anya, that is not enough to make them fully latina.

"Oh but in the US only being descendent already counts and..." Exactly. In the US. In the latino countries, that are the ones that should be taken into account because they are the latinos, if someone like Daniela says they are latino in a latino country the real latinos will laugh at them. Just because you have the "stereotypical latina look" that doesn't make you latina(which is proven that now that being latina is considered "trendy", a lot of girls try to copy the superficial latina look of what they think latina girls look like reinforcing sterotypes of what they think being latina means and people comment "gosh you are so latina")because in latin america, "latino" is not an ethnicity:Latinos comes in all packages:White, black, brown, due to collonization and the mix of europeans, indigenous people, asians and black people. What Daniela does is the same thing as a brazilian girl whose parents moved from Japan to Brazil and speak japanese fluently but the girl is born in Brazil and thinks she's so japanese just because she has a japanese appearence, speaks basic japanese, watches anime and listens to j-pop. Same thing with Daniela thinking she is latina just because she "looks" latina, her spanish skills so far are ordinary and she knows some latino songs(you can't speak FOR them if you can't speak TO them).

The term "Latin"(not the language) was first used in France to refer to people from Latin America. Other countries that speak languages that came from Latin(Spanish, portuguese, french, Italian, romanian, catalan, etc) aren't called "latinos" because they already had denominations of what their people were called before. So the original concept of the word is "any individual BORN in any country in the american continent that speaks a language that came from latin is latino." But the USA only considers the spanish speaking(aka hispanics) countries latino. So even though Brazilians(lusophones) and Haitians(I think the linguistic term would be francophone but I'm not sure tho) speak portuguese and french respectively and are very much in the american continent, the United States Law doesn't consider us latinos, when we clearly are and all of the other latino countries consider us latinos too. So forgive us for not wanting to conform to what americans think we are. Sometimes, the rules and standards the US set for themselves aren't a thing in the whole entire world, can y'all believe that??? Shocking for the center of the world, USA, the only America that exists because the name isn't United States of (the continent) America(some basic geography and history lessons would really do some americans good). In Brazil, we have memes that joke that being considered latino in the US is the easiest thing in the world:Have at least one of your great grandparents born in a hispanic latin america country(bonus points if it's Cuba, Mexico or even their own state Puerto Rico because they are pretty much the only ones the average american knows because they are the ones closer to the US), speak three words of basic spanish and call it a day. Congrats, you're latino now. Some americans really think they know better what being a latino is than latino people themselves. You don't. Thank u, next.

And before anyone says I'm a disguised hater, I love all the woman mentioned, just some of them don't represent latin america as much as they try to force it upon people, and actual latinos(not just from Brazil and Argentina but also from Colombia, Costa Rica, Panama, Bolivia, Chile, Ecuador, Mexico, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Peru, Uruguay, Nicaragua, Haiti, etc) have the right to not feel represented by them. The latino's point that Katseye does not have latin america representation is valid because it is considered true by latino people and what latinos consider latino and not what USA citizens consider latino. Because I can assure you they are different. Daniela is considered latina only in the US. She wouldn't be considered latina anywhere else. For us, she's just American.

That being said, there is nothing wrong with being American or only having one nacionality(her mixed ethnicity still doesn't make her latina). I recognize Daniela's talent and I think after the group ends she will be able to establish herself easily in the industry as the next big soloist. I can see her pulling off something similar to what Selena Gomez or Camila Cabello do.

4. Yoonchae:

Of course, they needed a korean but Yoonchae and Sophia are two that I think could be more successful in a kpop group(I would love Sophia to join Gehlee Dangca and Elisia as the filipinas of kpop). I do think the group needed east asians, I'm just surprised any korean girl would apply to this reality show instead of just applying to be a hybe or any other agency trainee and be probably more successful in a kpop group. Like Nayoung for example. According to the judges she wanted to be eliminated to be a soloist, which is probably true, now that she is participating in Girls on Fire. If she got in, she will probably be a soloist in Korea after it ends. Theories say that Hybe always wanted Yoonchae because she is younger and fits more the korean beauty standards than Nayoung, but Nayoung was more popular among the public, so they invented this whole soloist thing to kick Nayoung out. Others said that they always wanted Nayoung on the group to debut Yoonchae on either a kpop group with Hinari, Ua, Karlee, Mei and Marquise or another kpop gg who would have like New Jeans vibes, but Nayoung wanting to be a soloist frustrated their plans and they had to go for Yoonchae. I never believed any of those, because they just don't make sense to me. I did have Nayoung as a favorite and barely noticed Yoonchae before mission 3, but I like her. She's nice and her entrance was predictable. Her place was basically guaranteed but she deserved anyway.

6. Megan:

My fave since the show started. She was my pick since the very beginning. She's an icon, she's a legend and she's the moment. Her dance will slay on the group(and I imagine her raps too since I think Manon and her will be the rappers, it's a position that fits them the most comparing to the other members, maybe Daniela will rap too). She has everything and I love her with all my heart.

6. Manon:

She is a visual and a decent dancer. I think her husky voice is very unique, just kinda unstable and a little bit shaky most of the time. But she has the time to train it and she has improved a lot in comparison to the start of the show, same thing with her lack of facial expressions in performances, which is understandable because she was a model and has a very mature look, which is probably why she always had more of a serious face and overall vibe. Speaking of her model career, I hope it's still a thing after her debut. She passes me some Naomi Campbell, Winnie Harlow and Anok Yai vibes and I think it would be a very profitable industry for her to keep being successfull in the US after the group ends. Usually reality show groups have a temporary contract of 2-7 years, which is a good amount of time to Manon to guarantee her future after the group is over. I can't picture her as a soloist(at least for now), but I think she would slay as model(both photos and runway) and I can definitely see her potential as an actress with proper training as well.

My biggest fear towards Manon on the group was the same as Yoonchae:Her being kinda isolated/left aside by the other girls. Yoonchae because of the language barrier and Manon because she seems to be more of an introvert and reserved kind of person. Compared to Manon, Samara seemed closer to Yoonchae, Megan and specially Sophia and Lara during the show. The only girls I can think of that Manon was very close with are Nayoung and Iliya(who revealed on Tik Tok she was the only one that voted she wanted Manon on the group with her). And because of Manon's personality seemingly being a little bit more closed, which is understandable since Manon was the second oldest girl in the show(Nayoung being the oldest and Iliya the third oldest). However, the most toxic part of her fandom kept inventing she was hated by some of the other girls because of this, trying to build a victim narrative to favor Manon. As someone who is part of both Manon's fandom and Samara's fandom, I can say both are the ones with the most toxic fans(at least the louder ones), but I think Manon fans are still a little bit worse than Samara's because Manon fans are usually solo stans. Most of them like Manon and Manon only.

(This is actually a lighter one, I say way worse ones, that are so heavy I don't even know if can mention)

Meanwhile, Samara's fans usually also liked Sophia, Lara, Emily, Lexie, Ezrela, Nayoung, Iliya, Mei, Karlee, Celeste, Megan and Yoonchae(mainly, but I saw a few supporting the other girls as well). If you go to Instagram, my point will be proven. All the girls who commented on Samara's post saying goodbye to Dream Academy were treated nicely by her fans. Meanwhile Adéla, who said she congratulated all the Katseye members in private and not everything needs to be on the internet to be true and to have happened, when she went to congratulate Manon on her Katseye post on Manon's instagram, most comment replies were hateful(and Samara fans are the most toxic ones? Alright, I'll pretend I believe you). Some Manon fans need to decide themselves. You call her out for not congratulating Manon online, and when she changes her mind about it and does it people don't like either? What do you want from the girl man? Adéla hates Manon because she didn't post a photo with her? She didn't post a photo with Yoonchae either! And that could have a number of reasons:maybe they aren't that close, maybe Manon and Yoonchae didn't want to for some reason and that's fine! There were even people saying they would, quote unquote, "k*ll Mei's short ass" because she didn't congratulate Manon right away and only said "congratulations" in japanese with a fire and heart emoji. They don't need to congratulate her right the second she posts! And if they just want to like the post and not comment anything, that's fine too. It doesn't mean they hate her!

(Toxic Manon stans keep Samara's name out of their mouths challenge lmao)(Some of them have this victimising paranoia that all of the other girls hated Manon that just doesn't make sense! They have no evidence to back it up! Manon is beautiful and talented, she doesn't need victimhood!)(This inexcusable mentality is not healthy and I'm sure Manon and any other girl wouldn't like her fans attacking their fellow contestants and friends using her name)(Y'all don't see Samara or any of the other girls fans for that matter doing this)(If everyone thought like that, we would be doomed)(For example, Daniela and Lara started to follow Samara on Instagram a while after the show was over, it doesn't mean they hate Samara, some ppl should stop making assumptions based on no proof)(They act like Manon is the most hated girl from the show, which is just not true)(And it's ironic since a good part of the other girls haters were Manon fans) ("Why did you comment on * insert random contestant name * and is commenting on Manon just now?" Maybe because the other contestant post was reccomended first? Y'all don't know how Instagram works? There are a countless of possible reasons, this doesn't prove they hate Manon)

My other problem is that some Manon fans, specially the ones on twitter(I refuse to call it X) couldn't just celebrate Manon's debut without mentioning about how Samara was "a loser who would never be successful because she got rejected by Now United and Dream Academy". Have y'all never heard about black solidarity? You don't need to put Samara down to praise Manon and vice-versa. But something I hate about both fandoms are the rivalizing of both girls. The two fandoms that should be united the most against racism(because I've seen racist comments attacking both girls, Samara just a little bit more because she is a black latina and Manon is a black european) are the ones fighting the most! It wasn't supposed to be like that! I mean, look at these photos:

If they hated each other so much they wouldn't even be able to stand the other being close too them. Samara wouldn't look happy for her along with the other girls. In the video below Manon is jokingly doing the choreography of Break Free for Samara and she is laughing:

https://youtube.com/shorts/mUi5_Yu4mUg?si=GDHzqKWPgQuX4bVo

And people swear on their graves they hate each other solely based on the fact they don't follow each other on Instagram lmao. People just because you don't follow every single person you know that doesn't mean you hate them, sometimes you're just not that close/intimate to them or their content enough to follow them and that is totally fine. You don't need to follow anyone if you don't want to.

Another accusation is that Samara hates her because of the video Manon walks in Marquise and Samara's direction and Marquise passes through her to go hug Sophia and Samara passes through her to go hug Yoonchae. First of all:It's most likely she was going for Marquise, which Manon seemed to be a little bit "closer" with in comparison to Samara. Second:Manon didn't seem to be that close to any of the eliminated contestants. Third:She hugged Emily and Ezrela duo and then Samara and Marquise duo before going to hug the other Katseye members. Fourth:Even if she was close to Samara and Marquise, Sophia and Marquise were one of the closest friend duos of the show and Samara seemed quite close with all the asian members, but specially Nayoung, Ua and Mei. So Samara is undoubtedly closer to Yoonchae than she is to Manon. Fifth:If they didn't want to hug Manon again, they are in their right. They don't need to hug Manon or any other contestant if they don't want to. Maybe they aren't that close to a certain girl or maybe they feel uncomfortable with hugs/have a sensibility to physical contact and y'all should respect their choices whatever its based on.

Sixth:People got an specific take of the live finale out of context to make Samara look like "the villain" once again(are we even surprised at this point?). Samara goes for Yoonchae first but SAMARA AND MANON HUG RIGHT AFTER THE YOONCHAE AND SAMARA HUG. Then Samara is hugged by Lara, Sophia and next by Daniela. Then the host dismisses the eliminated girls. Megan is the only one who didn't got to hug not just Samara but also Ezrela and Marquise as well because she spent a lot of time conforting Emily.

After Marquise and Sophia's very long hug, Sophia and Samara hug while Marquise and Manon hug. Then Marquise and Daniela hug and the host asks the eliminated contestants to leave.

Emily is hugged first by Lara, then Megan while Manon is conforting her(couldn't see if they hugged but probably did) and hugged last by Yoonchae. I was surprised because Megan didn't left Emily's side, even when they weren't hugging. I didn't knew they were that close but they are two very good dancers so it makes sense. I found that very cute.

Ezrela is hugged first by Daniela and then by Lara. She talks a little with Yoonchae and Sophia while holding hands before the time the host gave them to say goodbye was over.

I think the girls clearly needed more time to say goodbye. Maybe they could have done it after the show to release later. I didn't got to see the ENFP girls Emily and Sophia hug(and as a fellow ENFP I didn't like it), my antifragile girls Samara and Megan hug, my dancing duo Emily and Daniela hug, etc. And I wanted to hear what they talked to each other too! Anyway, you can't have anything you want in life, am I right? That's all on Manon, let's move on.

7. Samara:

The girl had it ALL:The visuals, the dance, the public and SPECIALLY THE VOCALS(she always passed me some Beyoncé, Rihanna and Tyla vibes)(remember that it's my personal opinion, I'm not comparing). Even Sophia said she had one of the best voices she's ever heard:

(And the fact that this interview happened AFTER the controversy, speaks volumes, we all need a true friend like Sophia in our lives)(I think Sami and Soph friendships are one of the cutest of the show, when Samara couldn't dance Break Free because of her knee injury Sophia's parents commented on one post about it wishing her to get well soon and calling her "Sam", it was so wholesome)(I like that popular saying that goes:"If there are 10 people at a table, a na*ist arrives, sits and no person gets up and leaves, there are 11 na*ists at the table." You can't tolerate the untolerable. It applies to any kind of prejudice in today's society. People are known for the company they keep. If Samara really was such a terrible person, then all of the other girls would be too for still being friends with her)

I feel like Hybe was sorta kinda testing if they would push her to debut. They knew she was going to be popular because she is brazilian, arguably the most engaged public of all time(there isn't compilations of brazilian crowds in shows for nothing)(also Brazil is on the top 10 countries that consume k-pop music and the overall market of the genre the most along with South Korea, Philippines, Thailand, Japan, China, Indonesia, USA, Malaysia and I don't remember the last one but it is either Mexico, India or Canada at least it was like that last time I checked) but she also had the talent and the experience, since she trained with Now United. I particularly think they thought on pushing her to debut after she carried antifragile team b on her back(will come back to that later) since a short while later they allowed her to dance Back For More with Kai and shortly after some desperate toxic stans thought it was unfair to the other girls and tried to bring her down using her Tik Tok likes. (People have to understand reality shows are unfair, yes, some more than others but there will always be unfairness to it, even if little, and on one like this, it wouldn't be different. People vote for nationality. Samara, Celeste and Sophia had the skills, but take Universe Ticket as an example:Vanesya wasn't ready to debut but still ranked high before being eliminated by the judges because of the indonesian public votes. So of course the girls from smaller nations, nations that don't consume hybe content that much and girls that have too "common" and "uninteresting" nacionalities/ethnicities/backgrounds according to the public will come behind. To keep people invested, they need a story.)

Anyway, the videos Samara liked were taken out of context by people who don't even speak portuguese. Because not just brazilians but native and portuguese speakers overall(People from Portugal, Angola, Mozambique, etc) know there is nothing wrong about the videos. I watched the videos and there is nothing special about them at all, really.

Also, just because she liked something, that doesn't mean she agrees with EVERYTHING that is being said. Not everything in life it's so black and white, people. Sometimes she only partially agrees, agreeing only with specific parts. And Brazil is known for having a very dark and acid sense of humor. With anyone and anything. Including Brazil and brazilians themselves. "Oh so I'm allowed to mock/tease/make fun of Brazil and brazilians then?" Yeah, you can if you want to but Brazil will fight back HARDER. Like this:

(The brazilian humor can be heavy sometimes. We are the type of society that overall believes looking at our problems positively with jokes or in other ways of comedy make them less painful to bare. The famous "laugh not to cry". As the people were saying from the indian videos:"You shouldn't disrespect this country's culture if you don't know it, don't understand a thing about it and never been there" but I guess it only applies to certain specific cultures out there and not actually all cultures like some tend to preach)

Besides, the indian video could be doing a social commentary on hygienic and sanitary questions(which I interpretated that way because Brazil and India share some similarities in that sense) and how some foreigners feel about different foods, judging them by their appearence. It's not enough to assume she hates India or thinks of India as a gross country.

Samara:* Likes a video about SOME, not all, indian street food *

"OH MY GOD she despises all of indian culture, you anti-indian, xenophobic and racist!"

Samara:* Likes explanatory content with historical information about the context of the Israel and Palestine conflict that is not taking any sides *

"Wanting to be informed about geopolitics and a relevant topic about what's going on in today's world is being a pro-war, islamophobic sionist/zionist! You should be the one getting bombed and dying, not palestinian children!" (Samara follows Kehlani on Instagram, who is clearly an active pro-palestine celebrity, if some of y'all have bothered looking further instead of just believing doubtful sources you would know)(The US wants to ban Tik Tok from the country once again because according to them the app is making young people anti-Israel, so if some of y'all will invent lies at least be cohesive and coherent about it)

Samara:* Likes harmless stuff about the bible because she is just a regular christian like the majority of the brazilian population *

"Look at her, she is a conservative, extremist, conspirationist, intolerant, anti-chinese, anti-russian, religious fanatic Bolsonaro supporter! Shame on you, monkey bitch! Come back to the favela where you belong!"

(Yeah most people were being hypocrites just projecting their own prejudices on her and using it as an excuse to perpetuate them without not even looking for further information to confirm if the allegations were real. According to some of these people twisted logic, it's only wrong when Samara "does" it, but they can go do the "same", or "worst", to her)(And she didn't even do anything, which just makes these people look even more stupid than they were before, if that's even possible)

People, make it make sense! Some things are just thrown in the accusations out of nowhere. Stop hating on a black latina girl for no reason(and somehow the racist xenophobic is her)(and before anyone says I'm "pulling the race card", if the accusations were proven to be true, then people would be right for calling her out on her mistakes regardless of her skin color, but as her fans and members of her family already explained the situation I don't see any other reason to hate on her besides prejudice. Her mom is right:She did nothing wrong. She does not have an issue. She is not problematic. Accept and get over it.)(It's okay if you don't like someone but at least be respectful about it, just ignore their content and leave them alone, it's more simple than it looks like). Just because Samara was complimented directly and individually about her dance, charisma and stage presence by Kim Chaewon of Le Sserafim herself, danced with Huening Kai of TXT(by the time the only girl that met another member of hybe that wasn't le sserafim) and was the third most voted as "girl you want the most in the group with you" with 9 votes by the other contestants(lost to Sophia with 14 votes and Daniela with 12 votes), it doesn't mean her popularity was a threat to your fave. I mean, it kinda did, but spreading rumors and fake news based on invented lies about her is a real low, people should have focused more on their faves instead. People didn't even searched for the traduction of the videos and made assumptions based on nothing. So It's sad Samara didn't get to debut because people couldn't understand portuguese and imagined things.

Hybe clearly did with her the same thing they did to Garam:Tried to poorly clean her image as much as they could until they could kick her out. Because even if the girls are not wrong, they can't have a member who had any kind of polemics before, even after their reputation is cleaned. That's shown in Hybe releases after that:They posted a video that Samara and Lara were hugging and Lara seemingly whispered "I love you" to her:

https://youtube.com/shorts/b9xl67OR_OA?si=qPzW21RZSpFZnloY

And they partnered Samara with Ezrela in mission 3(they carried team wannabe together) which seemed to make them become closer because before that they didn't have much interactions and after it they even spent thanksgiving together after the show was over:

https://www.instagram.com/reel/C0Chj-tOydx/?igsh=MXFtZzYwdGpvNDVvdQ==

Samara also said that about Ezrela in the same interview Sophia said the phrase above about Samara:

(And they were also seemed very close at the live chat before the finale but people swear Samara has something agaisnt indians and Ezrela dislikes her, unbeliavable)

https://youtu.be/YSDZfOD4JnY?si=l81La_tg40keuNPD

So any of the girls showed any dislike for one another. Maybe some girls weren't that intimate, because there were 20 girls people, of course you're going to be closer to some of them more than the others, but all of them never showed anything but respect and admiration for one another.

Samara had good votes. (Even if the whole world against us we still gave Sami good numbers, that's how powerful we are hahaha)

As you saw, she surpassed both Megan and Ezrela in number of votes, and Manon won her in early voting, but Samara had more live voting. She didn't got in because of the judges that gave Manon a higher score as you can see:

I fully believe they had the lineup ready before the finale. Most reality shows usually do. I watch them already having that in my mindset. Or do you think it was a coincidence to have three girls from each team(Girls Don't Like Girls and Dirty Water) debut and Samara and Manon being on the same one? Hybe wanted to fool the brazilian audience until the very last second, because they know the engagement we have and how dedicated we are as a public(the meme "Brazil Mentioned" is real ppl)(Brazil has the best memes lolol)(Look at Vincent Martella:He was with 385 thousand followers on Instagram, a photo of him with a shirt with "I'm famous in Brasil" viralized an brazilians made him have currently 5,6 million followers, surpassing Tyler James Williams, who is not very fondly of Brazil and Brazil is not very fond of him either because Everybody Hates Chris is a classic in Brazil. In Brazil, everyone watched it. And the minority that didn't, they at least know about it's cultural impact on Brazil. So Tyler is considered ungrateful in Brazil for not liking that we love the series so much according to brazilians. And Vincent actually showed love for Brazil and what happened, happened. That's the power of Brazil).They wanted to fool their whole audience actually, going all like "Which black one we'll pick, 'cause y'all know she's here just so people don't accuse us as racists, because even if they were untalented we would get one of them because of their skin color, but two is already too much". Sadly that is how the world works people. We gotta get used to deal with it. Although it didn't work that much, since most latinos were accusing Hybe of xenophobia against them ever since Celeste's elimination, what only grew even stronger after Samara's elimination(proving once again my point about latinos non-acceptance of Daniela as a latina. For most latinos, Daniela represents the US and the US only).

(People try to force Gisele Bündchen, the one and only ubermodel, one category above super model, which as a category created for her, the woman who was the highest paid model for 15 years, as a german or a french woman; people try to force that Pelé isn't the football eternal king and pioneer that changed the sport forever and made it what it is today when he is the only player that has three world cups having the same amount or more world cups than some countries out there; people try to force Adriana Lima as old and ugly just because she is aging just like everyone else because she is a human being and still look gorgeus, just older; and I could go on all day. People really hate it when brazilians are the best/good on something. Sorry but we are the fifth biggest country in the world, we have a big population, great athletes and artists, and that is not changing)(Every country has something good and bad about themselves and we shouldn't debunk or belittle them but aknowledge their good points)

I mean, as someone who watched a lot of reality shows, I know there is always the insanely talent and popular girl that doesn't debut because "superior forces" don't want her there. Kaeun and Chowon from Produce 48, Chanelle from R U Next, Kawaguchi Yurina from Girls Planet, Bae Haram from Universe Ticket and now Samara from Dream Academy makes it to the list.

Brazil was the one that made the prettiest edits on Weverse and the posts about Samara were overall the ones with the most likes on Instagram during the show(Sophia's posts were the most liked overall on youtube). Dream Academy lost followers on Insta when they eliminated Celeste and lost even more when they eliminated Samara, that is the real latina power right there. We perpetuated SoLaSa (Sophia, Lara and Samara had THE CHEMESTRY, it's sad they didn't got to debut together) which was a voting strategy to help Samara because most brazilian fans voted for all the girls in team wannabe, which made Ezrela and Emily surpass Samara in mission 3 rankings, Ezrela staying in 4, Emily staying in 7 and Samara in 8. Ezrela and Emily were already quite popular so with the help of brazilians they surpassed Samara and as Ua's performance in Wannabe was not her best one, so she got eliminated. So basically the strategy was:Sophia and Lara are going to end I'm top 2 anyway, so let's vote for them and Samara to try to get Samara in third. Voting for these three would stop lower ranking girls to surpass Samara. Some Manon fans tried to force SoLaMa (which is funny because it looks like the portuguese phrase "só lama" which means "just mud" and like, we know they meant Manon but it was poorly elaborated because "Ma" can also stand for Marquise).

Of course, I don't hate Manon. I am happy for her and all the girls because they all deserve it. However, in terms of talent Samara was one of the most talented ones, definitely an all-rounder. She gave a better performance than Manon in all performances(specially Dirty Water). Manon is great, Samara is just better. And all of the girls are talented, some girls are just more talented than others, like Sophia and Lara, which is normal. As someone who is in both fandoms, I can say Samara is a better dancer and BY FAR a better vocalist than Manon. So I believe she would have been chosen instead of Manon if it weren't for the controversy because she is a better performer than Manon and did better on the performances that were being judged. Of course I wanted her to debut and I would switch Manon for Samara if I could. Or also keep Manon and switch Daniela for Samara because we would actually have proper unarguable latin america representation and the US would still have Lara and Megan to represent them(but of course they needed a contestant who was just american and half of the group representing the US, half of them representing Asia and one of them representing Europe, how global is that again? Lolol I'm just kidding, take it as a joke people). Anyway, I believe everything happens for a reason. If the girls who are there debuted, that it's because that how it's supposed to be. I am not bitter or salty about it because the other girlies are doing good and the lineup is solid, so I will keep following the other girls on their separate paths because hating on the group or on any girl won't change anything and I hope all the girls are successful on their journeys.

8. Ezrela:

Seeing her and the other contestants smile through the pain was so hurtful. I wish them all the best and a bright future! Hybe needed people of color politically. For the black girl, I do think they were leaning towards Samara at first, but then switched to Manon after the controversy. Before the live finale, Samara always ranked higher than Manon, so it was a no-brainer to figure it out. However, Lara was the indian girl from the start. And I think Ezrela was aware of that. Lara also always ranked higher than her and Ezrela was smiling so much at the finale after being eliminated. Like, I know she is the kind of person with a positive attitude, but Samara and Emily cried and while Marquise didn't cry, she seemed less happy than Ezrela. I admire Ezrela a lot. She is just a fortress, she was just so strong. She was conforting Emily with a smile on her face, Ezrela you're going places! Marquise also conforted Samara when Sami was giving her speech, but in a more discreet way than Ezrela but kudos for both of them for their strength. I would switch Daniela for Ezrela if I could. They are both aces, I just like Ezrela a little bit more. And Ezrela offers Australia/Oceania representation so if they switched Manon for Samara and Daniela for Ezrela, the group would be more global. But again, the lineup we have is not bad. Ezrela said she was the artist that she wanted to be. She seemed fulfilled for everything she learned and proud of Lara and the other girls. She is so mature, I love her and I know she'll make it big.

9. Emily:

Our Main Dancer! One of the girls with the best visuals! I feel like the show tried everything to make her stand out. Putting her with popular contestants on mission 2(Sophia, Lara and Yoonchae) so she could automatocally pass forward with her group without needing to rely on votes like Samara, Megan and other girls did, on mission 3 putting her with a not so popular member(Ua) and a member with a unfairly stained reputation(Samara) so Emily could be benefited once again. Of course, nothing of this is her fault, but she is an american girl that fits basically all of the US beauty stands after all. Because of that, they tried to push her until the last minute but her popularity didn't play in their favor. Don't get me wrong, I love Emily, but I'm not the only one saying this. A lot of people also concluded the same as me. The only thing Emily was kind of lacking was vocals. Her vocals aren't bad, they just could be better. I can see her being very successful as a choreographer, a dancer or even a member for another group. The sky is the limit for her!

10. Marquise:

I didn't know Marquise that much tbh. She didn't stand out to me. What I knew is that she was close with Sophia, Samara, etc. For me, she has always been "the thai girl with red hair". I do find her pretty but back then her skills were outshined by the other girls for me. I do think she was helped in mission 3 when the judges chose to keep her instead of Celeste, who ranked higher. Celeste ended up in 6 and her in 10. Nayoung ranked 3 but allegedly wanted to be a soloist so they had to keep Yoonchae, who ranked 12 because they needed a korean, Ua was 13/last place so she would be eliminated anyway. So the judges eliminated Celeste because according to them Marquise's performance was better, which I do not agree. Yes, I wanted Celeste to participate on the live chat with the girls and see her at the finale doing All The Same(she would look good in both Dirty Water and Girls Don't Like Girls) but at the same time, it was clear that both Celeste and Marquise weren't a want in this group. Both were being used to attract public from Argentina and Thailand, so at the end of the day, whoever they decided to keep for the finale, it wouldn't make a difference.

seems I’ve been to way more countries than Taylor Swift has

almost three times as many

and I saw more of the countries and stayed longer generally

So f Her and her soaking of her fans for selling every album twice

She’s been to two I haven’t: Brazil and Argentina (I’ve been to Colombia and she hasn’t… I want to get back to South America)

she was saying something in interview avout ‘in SPITE’ of anyone who has a problem with you and you also ‘have to have more fun than them’

do I

is even fun a competition

cuz she might be winning that one on me along with the fame and fortune and beauty pageant and Grammies and dancing (this one really upsets me as I don’t like to be outdanced by the likes of her), conventional socialising, fitter (ugh!!), mansion-y-er

but you know I feel like lower middle class people deserve to not be steamrolled all over

and I certainly am ‘freer’ than taylor, more well-read, better at writing, sociopolitics and way more active at it, done more drugs, more cultured, more languages, travel, museums, tried more foods, took more time off, watched more movies, played more video games, alternative socialising, lived more places, worked more jobs, will soon know more martial arts, better at jeopardy

Maybe that’s always been the world, the peasantry had to work with the scraps left to us while the rich hog it all and the attention

i guess the question is I wish I knew what scraps I should be working with

what can I get out of life to make me not feel like shit compared to these celebrities people adore so much and rub in the peasantry’s faces

what can we all get out of it

sometimes my mind makes the mistake of thinking oh Babybruce or Babycuck would maybe be two more to ask

they wouldn’t know they’d just say why the fuck are you asking me I don’t know and then tell me I lack a priest or lack being a douchebro

since they got no original ideas

but yes that’s I’m wondering

what scraps are still available down here for me

down here for all of us

far below Taylor’s feet

what’s left for us

what should I be doing with my life that Taylor doesn’t get to do

what’s the way out of these billionaires walking all over everyone

How does the peasantry live a better life in SPITE of them and have more fun while doing it

there’s no Babycuck left to ask

plus they were being a spoilsport and too afraid to post my letters

getting a squarecut thrill out of suppressing and reducing freedom of speech as they did

that’s the question

I’m very serious about this question

what can I get out of life that Taylor can’t

like Leonardo do Caprio in Titanic what could he get out of it (seen through that lens, I’m fucked)

but yes what gateways what paths are out there still to get more out of life than Taylor is getting out of it

? God I wish I knew I should really think long and hard here, it’s hard to see out of the confines of the American mousetrap

If I can get fitter then her and dance better I’ll be pretty happy with where I’m at in life

but I still want to think outside of Taylor’s box more

what can we do

what can we make of ourselves

that she can’t do

that she can’t make

After years of waiting, I finally saw “The New Mutants”, tonight! I could literally spend days writing a review of this film, so I’ve decided to spare you all, and highlight some of the things that I liked and disliked about the film.

*SPOILER WARNING* Please don’t read below if you don’t want to know details of the movie.

Anya Taylor-Joy was perfect as Magik. She nailed the role. However, I didn’t care for the changes made to her backstory and power set, nor did I care for the fact that she was written as a racist “mean girl”.

I loved Maisie Williams as Wolfsbane.

I thought that black actors should have been cast in the roles of Roberto Da Costa and Dr. Cecilia Reyes.

The visual effects used to depict Illyana’s powers were fantastic! The translation of Magik’s comic book aesthetic to film was spot on.

I enjoyed the love story between Dani and Rahne. This is the first time a same-sex romance has been featured in an X-Men film, and it was handled beautifully.

Why didn’t Illyana just teleport away from the hospital? I assume she was adhering to Dr. Reyes’s “program”?

I didn’t like Reyes being made the film’s antagonist, considering she’s always been a heroine in the X-Men universe. Her demise was particularly unpleasant. I thought Cecilia deserved better than that.

Illyana mocking childhood sexual abuse was unnecessary.

No Karma! Boo! Although rumor has it she was going to be the villain turned hero in the sequel to this film, set in Roberto’s native Brazil.

The characters were underdeveloped. The boys didn’t have much to do in this. However, to be fair, packing thirty-seven years of storyline into a ninety minute movie would have been impossible. This was planned as the first in a trilogy, so who knows what we might have seen in future films.

I laughed out loud when Magik asked Mirage if she knew how to grow weed.

Lockheed was incredible, but we already knew that he would be. I thought his performance was Oscar-worthy.

The final showdown between the mutants and the Demon Bear was epic. Illyana chasing after the bear and calling it a coward for retreating from their battle was hilarious.

Misspelling Bob McLeod’s name in the end titles was unfortunate. :/

In closing, the film wasn’t perfect, but it was fun. I enjoyed it! I knew beforehand that these wouldn’t be the same mutants I grew up with from the comics, so I wasn’t disappointed. It was standard fare, but I’ll definitely own the film. I’m interested in seeing what Marvel does with the X-Men franchise moving forward. I’m hoping that they will stay true to the stories that we’ve grown up loving over the decades, but we’ll have to wait and see. (3/5 Stars)

Here in Brazil there are lots of people saying the same thing as the anon. Some are even saying that they don't want her to win bc people will send hate messages to her, then we came to the conclusion that people will hate on Taylor no matter what, they will make up shit about her and send hate messages no matter if she wins or loses.

So I ratter see hate with a couple of grammys on her hand (bc she deserves it) than without it lol

(the ppl that the anon was saying that are going to make jokes about her are probably jb, ag and 🛴 fans)

I don't think JB and 🛵 would stand any credibility in mocking her if she wins if their basis is white privilege, because that's exactly what they're going with too. The Weeknd 100% deserved the spot but JB swooped in with his less than average music (who am I kidding, yummy is a horror).

I think that if anyone should be called out for these nomination choices, it's not the nominees but the Academy that chose them. Taylor didn't have any control over that, all she did was submit her works like every other artist. She does deserve to win though, for sure. And to be fair if I were to win an award for an album I've worked hard on and put my heart into, I wouldn't care if I get hate for that. But I will be mindful of the fact that my colleagues were snubbed because of very unfair biases, and I'm sure she is. Screw the scammys lmao but at the same time folklore aoty let's go ✌️

Please read and share.

So there is this guy called Hugo Gloss, basically here is like a Brazilian version of Perez (but worse and faker), he drags Taylor every single chance he gets! For example I will never forget how he said shit about her and praised Kayne and Kim. But now that Taylor is coming to Brazil he has ridiculously deleted every single bad shit he said about her online. I think he is probably meeting her and he wants to pass a a great fan, but I won’t let that happened. He bullied Taylor and would talk about how she was playing the victim role and he was never being impartial on that story (as he jobs requires) and always making it evident he does not like her.

It is saddening to know that him and many other Brazilian artists will have the opportunity to see Taylor from the best seats, for free and even meet her but when she was being bullied online they only put more fire onto it and let clear to everyone which side they were taking they joined the #TaylorSwiftIsOverParty mocking her all the time.

They can delete their bad comments but all swifties here remember it and we will never forget it.

He may get his interview and everything (I don’t care) but I want Taylor to know who she is dealing with.

Manu Gravassi is the only Brazilian artist that truly deserve to be there, she is s true Switie, she deserves more than those other people, that’s for sure.

Hypocrisy is what rules Brazil.
