I'm so glad the gif exists :P

It's hilarious, and also, those eyelashes are a work of art! <3

Sim, sou português! E claro, mas se precisa de ajuda com gramáticas, bem, sou burro nisso lol.

Obrigada! E sem gramática, eu prometo, eu sou muito ruim nisso também! XD Eu fiquei feliz, porque gosto de falar sobre fandom em outros idiomas (além do inglés) sempre que posso!

Sigh. It be like that sometimes, things that give joy stop doing that, and you have to deal with it...

I feel you, it's a very relatable thing! I hope it passes soon and you can find joy in doing it again! <3

Those are the perks of watching as many early-20th century films as possible

I love doing that! Old movies (especially noir ones) are one of my favourite things ever! (Have you heard of CineLibreOnline? I love that site, it's a treasure!)
