brazilian idioms and expressions that i think are cool

"Tem mão não é?" (lit. 'Don't you have hands?') - When someone asks you to do something they could clearly do themselves "Águas pasadas não movem moinhos" ('Past waters don't move mills') - Being overtly attached to the past won't bring you anything. "Pimenta nos olhos dos outros é refresco" ('Pepper on other peoples' eyes is refreshing') - When something bad happens to someone else, it's usually good because it's not your problem. "E no cu não vai nada?" ('And up your arse goes nothing?') - When someone (usually your boss) asks you to do a long list of things you don't want to. "Em terra de cego, quem tem um olho é rei" ('On the land of the blind the one-eyed man is king') - When you suck at a skill but you're still better than everyone you know. For example, say you take a trip to Beijing with your friends. None of them speak Mandarin, but you can understand it pretty well, though you cannot read it and your pronunciation is subpar. In this situation, you're the one-eyed king. It's also a common saying in Germany: Unter den Blinden ist der Einäugige König. "Manja rola" (lit. 'Dick measurer') - Someone who is always subservient to a cause or a person with the intention of gaining their approval. "Presente de grego" (lit. 'Greek gift') - A well-intentioned gift that actually makes your situation worse, in reference to the famous tale of the Trojan Horse of Ancient Greece. "Escravoceta" (lit. 'pussyslave') - A man who does everything a woman tells him to in the hopes of someday sleeping with her. "Cão que ladra não morde" ('Dogs who bark don't bite') - People who constantly make verbal threats rarely ever fulfill them. "Teu cu" (lit. 'Thy arse') - Used when you disagree with someone but don't have a proper argument - or don't care enough to form one. "A pressa é inimiga da perfeição" ('Hurry is perfection's enemy') - Being patient is key, hastily finishing something won't make it any good. "No cu do mundo" ('On the world's asshole') - A far-off place isolated from modern society, usually in the countryside. "Quem não tem cão, caça com gato" ('One who has no hound hunts with a cat') - If you think you don't have what it takes to do something, do your best with what you have. "Nem aqui, nem na China" ('Not here, not in China') - A fancy way of saying "no fucking way". This won't happen, neither here, nor in any corner of the world. "Nem fudendo" (idk how to translate that) - Same as above, but funner and less fancy. "Ensinar padre a rezar missa" ('Teaching a priest how to pray') - Trying to teach someone (or bragging about) a skill they already excell at. Like mansplanning, but fancier. "O seguro morreu de velho" ('Safety died of old age') - People who value their well-being and safety above other things tend to do better in life. "Negócio da China" ('A deal made in China') - A particularly advantageous deal, usually business-related. "Quando a esmola é demais, o mendigo desconfia" ('When the donations are too much, the homeless man grows suspicious') - When an offer or gift is too good to be true.

consider the sperm whale and the squid. an ancient rivalry that dates back millions of years. we know the whales eat the squids. we know the squids do not make it easy for them. we know this because of the scars the whales carry, scars on the outside of their body, and on the inside as well. how badly must you want something to endure wounds inside your mouth? inside your gut?

consider the whale, who is harmed by what sustains her. consider the squid, whose flesh is soft and delicious but refuses to go down easy.

#mine #suggestion #this is not a direct allegory to anything i just think about whales with scars inside their stomachs and i Feel Things #oh i do know what its like to fight the thing you need. i do know the bittersweet taste of victory for a price. #y'all ever relate to a whale? #50 #100 #500 #1k #5k #10k #25k #35k

i feel so bad for nikola tesla like imagine spending years beefing with a guy who has conned the public into believing he's some sort of supergenius when in reality it's his overworked employees developing all of his world-changing inventions and you end up dying broke and starving and alone and then 100 years later another guy cons the public into believing he's some sort of supergenius when in reality it's his overworked employees developing all of his world-changing inventions and he's doing it all IN YOUR NAME. he must be rolling in his grave like a fucking rotisserie chicken

#when penelope scott said ''you promised you'd be tesla but you're just another edison'' she was so right. she gets it #edit: now that this is getting popular i just want to say please don't deify/martyr tesla #yes he was dealt an awful hand but he also had some very bad opinions especially towards the end of his life. like eugenics #he was clearly struggling with untreated mental illness and was also a product of his time so i'm not trying to cancel him or anything lol #but people in the notes saying ''my poor baby boy tesla did nothing wrong'' is weird. you know that's weird right. #daze.txt #100 #500 #1k #5k #10k #20k #30k #40k #50k #60k #70k #80k #90k #100k #speechless btw. about the 100k notes thing

awards shows are ridiculous and asinine and are everything wrong with the entertainment industry. that is unless my favorites win in which case awards shows are wonderful and objective and are arbiters of merit and justice in a world devoid of true talent recognition

no you don't understand how important Amity and her development is to me. how free and happy and smiley she looks now, how dorky and nerdy she unapologetically allows herself to act like. she's a kid and she's in love and she likes to dye her hair and she has a passion for Abominations and she's so much herself that it . it nearly brings me to tears. Amity Blight the girl ever

Not sure how widely recognized this is but it’s fucking wild to me that miss kui just quietly snuck in the fact that most (if not all) of the differences between races only exist because of wishes they made to the Winged Lion.

Dwarves being strong? Lion wish. Elves being good at magic? Lion wish. All lifespan differences???? Lion wish, babey!

Not that the elves superiority shtick isn’t already BS, but it’s even funnier with the context that the only difference between them and humans is that, thousands of years ago, their leaders made a greedier wish to the demon that wanted to eat them.

#dungeon meshi #delicious in dungeon #dunmeshi analysis #truly I think about this all the time it’s wild #something great here too in like not only that it’s all bs but that so much of the bs is due to what advantages are inherited #from privilege. elves aren’t special there are just 500 year old nepo babies #dungeon meshi spoilers

it's honestly fucked up nobody talks about this. like what were they thinking? are they stupid?

god like. the funniest thing about adaine abernant to me is that she is sooooo petty. she is so deeply capable of being a mean bitch. she used to be chronically anxious but she’s medicated now and that was the only thing holding her back from being born a hater and dying a hater. she loves her friends and the supportive environment that her new family gives her but this is also the same character who at fifteen years old (deservedly) told an incel he sucked multiple times over to his face and sent her sister who sucks to elf prison

#jone.txt #dimension 20 #adaine abernant #adaine fundamentally a character who is not committed to being nice unless she likes you #shes great and i adore her. i hope many young children aspire to be like her #this is why she and aelwyn get along now also #she is just so real. #fantasy high #fhjy #d20 #500 #1k #2k

You know what? I want a whole post for this:

Sex Repulsion is not the same thing as, or an excuse for, Sex Negativity

non-negotiable!

I am a sex-repulsed asexual. This means that I am uncomfortable and repulsed by the idea of engaging in sexual acts. This does not mean that I have an excuse to be repulsed by other people's sexual attraction or the right to police how other people engage in or express sexual acts or attraction.

Young queer people need to learn the difference between sex repulsion and sex negativity, and actively work to unlearn sex-negative attitudes. Asexuality, even sex-repulsed asexuality, is and should be fully compatible with sex positivity.

If you are uncomfortable with the idea of other people feeling sexual attraction or engaging in sexual acts that do not involve you in any way, that is not sex repulsion it is the cultural Christianity and you need to seriously work on that.

#we as asexual people have got to have a talk about this because the shit i have been seeing is NOT okay #asexuality #sex positivity #this is largely intracommunity allo people can engage w/ it but don't be clowns #original post #500 #1k #PLEASE STOP TAGGING THIS AS 'CULTS' YOU CAN CRITIQUE A RELIGION W/O CALLING IT A CULT I AM BITING YOU #this barely even mentions Christianity like someone does not need to be in a cult to be sex negative. and also not all religions are cults #please be normal #other than that y'all have actually been very normal abt this one so far thank you #2k #5k
