Rubel e Marina Sena, 2025 | Ph by Marina Zabenzi

[mynarco]

the girl with the clawitzer tail (aka i started legends z-a and i decided to make one of my SV ocs go to france. yapping about her under the cut if anyone wishes to learn)

incidentally how the fuck do you draw gyarados

to keep things simple: i have a few ocs that are essentially... living tera crystals, i guess? nonhuman beings made of tera crystals. rubel here is one of them, she's from kitakami and lives a relatively chill life there. she has a mienshao (male, morgan) and milotic (the tera ghost one, selene), among other pokemon she befriended. things are well. she keeps hearing a voice in the crystal pool telling her to "go home" but other than that things are well. she gets in contact with maxixe (different being, also made of tera crystals) who suggests "home" may be the underdepths. this visit goes Very poorly for her unfortunately, and they have to reap the consequences of that. she meets the other tera crystal being though (strela) so there's that. she gets better eventually.

life goes on. max is attending blueberry academy through a series of convolutions. they hear about the urban redevelopment plan in lumiose. they already decided to stay a full term following the underdepths incident (they were my character for the dlc can you tell) so they can't exactly drop everything and Go. they tell strela and rubel about it instead, and rubel seems interested. so she goes. legends z-a plot goes from there.

she's at rank E right now and having a fun time. she may or may not be eating mega shards as a replacement for tera energy to sustain her. she has been very tempted to trip urbain specifically with her tail for the shit he says sometimes. the first thing she said to naveen when learning he likes to sew was probably "can you put a hole in the back of my shirt for my fin because it's getting really uncomfy". she does not know what a streamer is

the gyarados she has in the back is named sunstone and fills the selene-shaped hole in her heart. she simply must have a Big Fish to hug. his patterning was inspired by magikarp jump's orange/gold calico btw i just thought it'd be fun if the patterns stayed when they evolved. and i kinda like oc-ifying some of the mons my ocs get

the rest of her team rn is

emboar (male, garnet)

simisage (male, emerald)

scolipede (female, obsidian)

ampharos (male, citrine)

gardevoir (female, quartz)

which is only like half of what i planned for her but honestly i'm getting really attached so we'll see how the rest of her journey goes

MY MOMENT

I really loved it. I love music and I love talking about music.

But as a deeply eclectic person, it's humanly impossible to choose 5 songs that I like, and I don't have 5 favourites either. So I'm going to take the opportunity to share with you 5 current Brazilian songs by incredible and current alive artists, just true poems that I believe with all my heart that everyone deserves to hear and tif you decide to translate them, you won't be disappointed.

Not because I only listen to Brazilian music, but because I'm very proud of Brazilian artists and believe that they deserve to be recognised all over the world.

However, if you decide to listen to one of them, feel free to visit the rest of they discography

1 . CAJU | by Liniker

Liniker is perfect! She's a trans woman, black and has been awarded the title of Immortal by the Brazilian Academy of Letters, which is an indescribable honour for an artist, even more so in life. My favourite album by her is Indigo Borboleta Anil, but Caju is her latest and a close second.

2 . O Piano | by Coruja Bc1, Jonathan Ferr and Margareth Menezes

This one in particular is a song from a collective album with various artists, where each of the lyrics has its own musicality and proposals, but I had to mention this one in particular because it brought tears to my eyes more than once. It tells a very beautiful and very sad story (which even deserves to be drawn, so here's a possibility for a future WIP). The album itself, Brasil Futurista, is a great nomination and all the artists involved deserve to be here.

3 . A Ordem Natural das Coisas | Emicida (feat. MC Tha)

I could name so many songs by Emicida. From the most famous to the least played. 'AmarElo' is incredible and I seriously thought about putting it here (that's nomination 3.1). 'A Ordem Natural das Coisa' doesn't even remotely show the complexity of the artist's work, but it has a delicacy that can't be ignored. Think about how much life happens before the sun rises and the poetry he sees in life. It's just too beautiful.

4 . Torto Arado | Rubel, Liniker and Luedji Luna

This is perfect, because it refers to a book of the same name, which won the Jabuti Prize in 2019 (Jabuti is the highest national literary prize awarded by the Brazilian Academy of Letters). It's good to put her here, because I'd like to recommend another wonderful artist who sings pure poetry in every song she sings: Luedji Luna, another woman for the list and a wonderful one without any flaws.

aaaaaaaa there's only one more

okay

5. Ainda Aqui Sonhando | Leo Cavalcanti

I didn't want to put this one here. I was thinking of a more upbeat beat so that the list wouldn't be so quiet, and this was the opposite. But I think it's actually the most on topic and I couldn't decide which one to put last. Spotify's metrics show that I listened to this song for over 52 hours in March this year. This particular lyric touched me on a very personal level, so I don't have any great recommendations for the artist, but anyway, if you want to listen, Leo Cavalcanti.

Thanks for tagging me, and I hope you enjoy the nominations, I know I love making this list.
