normally, it's silly when ppl say magical realism is daily life in Latin America, etc, but Rio de Janeiro was just coerced into re-signing a deal with an esoteric organisation that claims to control the weather bc the city faced severe winds after it broke the previous deal
I love Brazilian catholic figures of speech
- "Where Judas died": a really far away place
- "May God repays you": thank you
- "Lazarusian": originally meant "leper" but now it means any mf you don't like
- "Virgin Mary!": oh my God
- "The Vicar's Tale": a trickery
