Recently I saw an user say they feel weird about the brazilian Ruggie headcanon because “poverty, thievery, and misery are often associated with Brazilians.” I've also seen non-brazilians hesitate to embrace this headcanon out of fear that it might come off as xenophobic or racist. So I wanted to give my perspective on the topic as a brazilian and why the BR!Ruggie hc means so much to us 🫶
If we were to assume that Ruggie is a shallow character whose only traits are “grew up in poverty, lives in a slum, and steals to get by,” and then directly link that to a nationality? Yeah, obviously that would be xenophobic. But that’s not what this HC is about. It’s about how he navigates life and survives despite a difficult background. Reducing Ruggie to just a ''poor pickpocket” does a huge disservice to his character. He’s a hard worker, works in multiple jobs at once and is constantly adapting to survive. This is the reality for millions of brazilians (and many other latinos too) GROWING UP POOR IS NOT SHAMEFUL. No one chooses poverty. People from underprivileged backgrounds often have no choice but to do what they must to survive. In a capitalist society being clever and even deceptive is often a survival skill. It's the PERSEVERANCE to succeed and the resilience it takes to fight for a dignified life that makes them admirable, not the methods they use. If you live in any Latin American country, it’s nearly impossible not to know someone who lives a life similar to Ruggie’s (or to have lived it yourself) And again, it’s not just about being poor!! It's about having to be creative to make resources/food/items last as much as they can, about teaching yourself new skills (like learning a new language on your own without access to paid classes), about being quick-thinking and cunning so you don’t miss out on opportunities, about the shared warmth of community food, and about keeping your humor and playful spirit alive even when life is hard. So when we say “Ruggie feels brazilian,” it’s not because of stereotypes even though we don't really feel offended with stereotypes most of the time tbh it's because he embodies a spirit we know so intimately, the hustle, the laughter through hardship, the cleverness born from necessity, and the hope for something better. It’s representation of a kind of resilience that deserves to be seen with pride, not shame.

Me literally after just editing 3 pages: Wow, that was exhausting. I need a break
The other 57 pages I need to finish next week: 👁️👄👁️
I went to the bank this morning and got all kinds of offers on insurances. Didn't sign anything though. I asked the lady to send me all their general terms and conditions because apparently my dumbass law-student-self considers these things interesting bedtime reading. I also have to edit this short story and I really don't want to, because I am very unsure of my work and I hope that I don't end up hating what I created. I wrote most of this short story while I was prepping for my state exam and I was ill, so it's all a blur.
To Do today:
go to bank
get birthday present for my sister
excel plotting sheet for TSH (I love this project, I hope the world agrees and I get an offer for it)
edit 10 pages (6/10)
add written ideas/ pages to short story 2
make a list for book 2
All the best

When I was “I want him” about a male character im not saying I wanna fuck him. I want him like a spoiled little girl wants a pony, I want to him so I can put him on my shelf for safekeeping, I want him like a good hearty stew on a winter’s evening, I want to put him in a jar and shake it.

The days are grey and wet. Not my favourite kind of weather. I need to restructure my days as I got a new schedule and also as I basically only work and don't have time for other things.
No final, tudo o que resta são memórias, e eu sou composta apenas por elas.

Ambulatory block this week.
The workflow details and all the little things parents ask about feels overwhelming 90% of the time but I’ve been surviving and getting reassured by my attendings that I’m meeting expectations.
Intern year is fun, exhausting, frustrating, and rewarding at the same time. 😵💫
I had extra time this morning so I treated myself to my favorite breakfast sandwich from the cafe down the street: fried egg, refried beans, pico de gallo, avocado, hot sauce on a Kaiser roll. It’s the little things in life. 🥰
