Cellbit and Lore telling the story of how they started talking in earnest-- Cellbit told Lore she looks like the Grinch but hot.
Lorena: I had posted a story, at the time I posted a photo and was asking who I looked like. And then, it showed up in the answer box that cellbitos [Cellbit's Instagram handle] had responded: "You look like the Grinch but hot."
Cellbit: I said, 'oh, she looks like the Grinch, but prettier, hotter.' I told her "grinch gostosa," and went back to the party. After thirty seconds I said, 'Oh my G-d, the Grinch is a green, hairy guy, shit, she's going to think for sure I'm such a scumbag.'
Full transcript in English under the cut!
Lorena: Can I mute for a second to ask you something?
Cellbit: You can, you can.
[Lorena mutes to ask if she can tell the story, then unmutes when she's finished.]
Lorena: There was a period of time where Rafael and I hadn't talked for like two, three months--
Cellbit: Two months.
Lorena: Two months. We hadn't talked in two months, and I hadn't talked to him again! And I see that he talked to me-- I had, I had--
Cellbit, interrupting: It wasn't like this, you have to give the whole background, it wasn't like this, I'm not a terrible monster
Lorena: What whole background? Ah, okay. I had posted a story, at the time I posted a photo of me and was asking who I look like with the answer box. And it had been two months since we'd spoken, we hadn't been talking. And then, it just showed up in the answer box that cellbitos [Cellbit's Instagram handle] had responded: "You look like the Grinch but hot."
[Cellbit brings a photo of the Grinch onto the screen.]
Cellbit: Smile a little.
[Lorena smiles at the camera, laughing, and points at her cheeks.]
Lorena: It's because of this, I have dimples up here. He said "you look like the grinch but hot." And then he wasn't satisfied! He sent another response, "my G-d, Lorena, I'm sorry. It's a compliment."
Cellbit: I'll tell my side of the story. There was a birthday party for my friend, I was drunk. For a second, I opened Instagram, I saw the stories-- when you open Instagram, they're the first thing you see. And I clicked, and this one appeared. I said, 'oh, she looks like the Grinch, but prettier, hotter.' I told her "grinch gostosa," and went back to the party. After thirty seconds I said, 'Oh my G-d, the Grinch is a green, hairy guy, shit, she's going to think for sure I'm such a scumbag,' I went back and said "No, it's a compliment," fuck, how awful--
Lorena, interrupting: And the detail, because we hadn't talked. We hadn't been talking.
Cellbit: It was a compliment, don't get it wrong. I promise. I know it's crazy. I didn't-- I didn't think--
Lorena: Really, how did a relationship come out of this, how did a relationship come from something like this. Only G-d knows, only G-d really knows, because I don't know. It's a mystery to this day.
Discord is supposedly saying this is going to affect "only 10% of users", but I really don't believe them at all. It's always going to be way worse and affect more people than what they claim.
So in case anyone needs it:
After Discord announced plans to require age verification for all users, a free, HTML-based tool emerged that aims to bypass facial scans on
genuinely irritated about the prevalence of brother-sister character designs where the brother has a huge nose and the sister has a tiny nose. 1) why are you a coward who hates the joy and beauty of women with big noses 2) have you looked at any real human siblings lately 3) why do you appear to think the nose is a secondary sex characteristic
wishing all women with big noses a beautiful day i hope you get everything you want forever and i'm sorry about the rank cowardice of general society you deserve better
If I was a Minecraft YouTuber I would be so good at having a mcyt fandom. I'd be so hands off. Do whatever tf you want baby. I'd be silently gleefully watching with a lurk account that I'd never even allude to. Like Batman.
I think some of y'all create mcyt siblings headcanons because you don't know how to deal with a man and a woman being friends. Like I have rarely ever seen people headcanon two men or two women as siblings, it's usually only ever a man and a woman. You guys know a man and a woman can be friends right? They don't have to have a sibling dynamic to just be platonic friends?
I hate you epitome of innocence being represented with blonde hair I hate you lightness representing goodness I hate you "angelic features" automatically being read as blonde hair and blue eyed with pale skin I hate you whiteness as the default for morality I HATE YOU I HATE YOU
this post isnt about blondes and how its so unfair to them that theyre always viewed as good healthy holy morally upright outstanding people no matter what this post is about racism its about colorism its about white supremacy making people with dark features and skin literally feel evil. this is not about your stupid disney princesses or achilles or your fave anime boys being allowed to be unhinged feral shitty awful people and this sure as hell is not an opportunity for blonde people themselves to show their entire pasty flat asses and beg praise for "breaking the stereotype" by being shitty unhinged people. fandom people you are 192% of the problem. white people in general you are 1,000% the origin of the problem. this site is so unbearably white my GOD
Its still so funny that they even thought to put this in the game in the first place. Yeah sure to get 100% completion you have to actively break the terms of service on purpose. This is normal

man sometimes friendship really is just "I saw this and knew it would give you psychic damage. please respond with agony" and then they do. and it's great
I always love stumbling upon fanmade merch but I realized thereās a lot on Ko-fi and on a personās specific shop so itās not always the easiest to find and I thought itād be fun to collect them all in one area!
Iāll post both content creator and fanmade, and you are free to send asks + DMs if youād like to be posted and Iāve missed you!
Iām going to start by posting shops / merch I know that is released right now. I personally am aware exist that are currently open, Iāll try to tag the characters they sell (for fanmade) but it may get longer than intended and I may resort to tags exclusive to this account as to avoid flooding the main tags.
I am not obligated to reply to rude DMs and asks! I reserve the right to deny anything that makes me uncomfortable!
Thatās all! I use any pronouns but I generally donāt need to be perceived. I may also repost custom merch and other things like that but itās up to my discretion and any requests I get.
