There’s currently an argument happening on Brazilian Twitter and I wanna know your opinions.
So, there’s this famous Brazilian artist called Romero Britto who’s currently going viral on Twitter because a woman destroyed one of his pieces right in front of him.
Her husband bought her the piece and she owned a restaurant, where Romero Britto happened to be with some friends. He tried bargaining for an R$ 8 coffee (less than 2 dollars!), even though he’s a VERY wealthy artist, and was really rude to the woman’s employees. So, she told him off for being an asshole and then destroyed the piece in front of Romero Britto himself.
Do you think that’s:
A. Queen behaviour
Or B. Disrespectful?
I’m in love with this headline
Woman who broke piece by Romero Britto says she doesn’t regret it: “I’d do it again”
Y'all, sister fuckin SMASHED that shit!
Missing here is that when she smashed the piece she yelled at this tacky artist: “Treat my people with respect”
The work was paid for. It was her property. He lost 0$. She went there specifically to defend her workers.
While out on my adventures the other day, I stopped at the farmers market to get some of their exceptional peach cider and a group of four college age girls all got out of an SUV, dressed somewhat identically (white face mask, gray or white top, dark bottoms, uggs) and headed up to the barn.
One of them shouted ‘PUMPKIN’ and pointed to one of the 90lb pumpkins they had out front and all of them ran to see it up close, taking turns with their phones to get a selfie each.
They were absolutely overjoyed to see pumpkins, turning every squash they could find over and over and taking pictures of it. They must have taken a hundred photos total.
It is entirely possible that this was their first time visiting a farm.
So I got my gallon of cider, some honey, and some fudge and those girls were in the line, each with a pumpkin held about belly height like they were six months pregnant with it.
Well… sort of.
Three of them were in line like that and the fourth of them ran up with a package of fudge. “Ladies look! Pumpkin Spice Fudge!”
“Oh my god where??”
So two of them went back to the fudge and got more fudge, got back in line.
Then another one went missing and came back with a bag. “Oh my god! Pumpkin Spice Popcorn???”
“I didnt think you could DO that!!”
“Where???
"Girls, we need a cart!”
This happened ad hominem until I think they had every single pumpkin spice item in the barn: soap, candles, taffy, cakes, breads, mixes… it filled a cart and was easily $300 worth of pumpkin spice stuff plus their pumpkins and they were so excited to have it all. It was treasure. It was a bounty. They had hunted well and their stores would be stocked for the winter.
And on the one hand I’m rolling my eyes because pumpkin spice is just… cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove. But on the other hand.. they were so excited.
Like they were so excited to see pumpkins in a place that grows pumpkins and not at a grocery store and I suppose the takeaway is:
May you find unequaled joy in something as simple as a pumpkin in a place where pumpkins grow.
men are so annoying, “women belong at home in the kitchen blah blah” and YOU belong in the workshop making me a fuckin table! why arent you forging steel or working metal? go out to the fields jebediah! the wheat needs to be reaped!
men sitting on their asses and telling women to assume their traditional roles is laughable. lol go back to work at the coal mine and build me a house
ill make you a sandwich after you go to war and die
Ben’s cousins are called Gwen and Ken. The only one to ever comment on this is Kevin, son of Devin, father of Devlin, who has no right to make fun of other people’s names.
Other than Ben 10, there’s Gwen 10 and Kevin 11, as well as at least 10 alternate versions of Ben himself, including Ben 23, Bad Ben, Mad Ben, RAT Ben, Nega Ben, two different versions of Ben 10000, and, unfortunately for him, No Watch Ben.
The writers love to play around with time travel, but to avoid paradoxes they have a character called Professor Paradox who just wipes everyone’s memories after every time travel
Ben once gave birth to roughly 10 moths
The entire universe and everything in it was destroyed, except for Ben who had to rebuild it from scratch to the best of his ability. No one remembers this except Ben and it was just a filler episode.
The universe destruction-and-rebuilding basically happened to explain any inconsistencies and design changes in the following seasons
There’s an alien called ‘The Worst’ whose only ability in combat is that he’s indestructible. He still feels all the pain, he just can’t die
When Kevin was 16 he wanted a special motor for his car, but to get it he had to best an alien princess in combat and marry her, so the mad lad just…. did it…. to get a motor…
Kevin, my beautiful, beautiful himbo, can assemble an alien gun in less than 10 seconds, but doesn’t know what TNT is.
There’s an order of medieval knights who captured an alien dragon cartographer and tried for 1000 years to kill him until he finally escaped
The Omnitrix fucked up, so Rath (the tiger alien) is naked for 13 seasons, before they finally fix it
I could honestly write a post like this just about Rath… His species are called Appoplexians (which is supposed to mean ‘overcome with rage’ but happens to also mean ‘internal bleeding’). Instead of shaking hands when they meet, they engage in a wrestling match until one has established dominance. They believe any problem can be solved by hitting it or “hitting it a lot”. They’re beautifully dumb.
There’s a planet called Anur Transyl where vampire, werewolf, ghost, zombie, frankenstein’s monster, and mummy aliens all live together
“The world’s largest rubber-band ball” is actually a prison for electric aliens
One of the recurring villains is a rogue veterinarian who uses his education to create mutant hamsters, frogs, and parakeets.
There are at least three in-universe tv shows about Ben and his aliens
Ben’s grandpa has fucked at least two aliens, one of which is a lizard
X-Men like mutant humans exist. It’s just a thing. One of them is a giant crocodile.
Pluto was destroyed as a throwaway joke in season 5, so it just doesn’t exist in their universe anymore
Ben is addicted to smoothies and he once drank a meat smoothie.
A lot of cryptids and mysteries are real, including Krakken, Mole People, Chupacabra, the Loch Ness Monster, the Jersey Devil, the Bermuda Triangle, and Yeti. Sasquatch also exists, somewhat, but he’s an electric alien. Most of these are never addressed.
Ben’s canon wife only fell in love with him because one of his aliens is a werewolf and she’s a furry
Not gonna mention that said himbo Kevin was originally a horrible villain 11 year old who was totally ok with killing an entire subway of people for money and then endangering hundreds of innocent lives just to besmirch one persons name in the first series, and then he just shows up in the second series over it and really nice. Turns into the best character of the show
To be fair, it turned out later he was high 24/7 as a kid - he was absorbing energy (mainly electrical energy) which is really really unhealthy for his species. He only overcame this because of an older mentor figure he met while in prison who taught him mindfulness and meditation and to absorb matter instead of energy. Almost went berserk again when the prison guards murdered his mentor, but that’s a longer story. My boy Kevin’s had a rough life.
