Over the past two nights in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, thousands of spectators jammed into Sambadromes to watch the annual spectacle of samba-school floats, dancers, and extravagant costumes during Carnival. Over the past couple of weeks, even more people took part in the many blocos, or street parties, dancing and drinking into the wee hours of the night. Collected below are images of Carnival 2020 festivities in Brazil.

Pelé grew up in poverty in Bauru in the state of São Paulo. He earned extra money by working in tea shops as a servant. Taught to play by his father, he could not afford a proper football and usually played with either a sock stuffed with newspaper and tied with a string or a grapefruit. He played for several amateur teams in his youth, including Sete de Setembro, Canto do Rio, São Paulinho, and Amériquinha. In his mid-teens, he played for an indoor football team called Radium.
In 1956, de Brito took Pelé to Santos, an industrial and port city located near São Paulo, to try out for professional club Santos FC, telling the directors at Santos that the 15-year-old would be “the greatest football player in the world.” and he signed a professional contract with the club in June 1956. He made his senior team debut on 7 September 1956 at the age of 15 against Corinthians Santo Andre and had an impressive performance in a 7–1 victory, scoring the first goal in his prolific career during the match. Ten months after signing professionally, the teenager was called up to the Brazil national team.
Pelé’s first international match was a 2–1 defeat against Argentina on 7 July 1957 at the Maracanã. Next year he was selectzioned for 1958 FIFA World Cup. Pelé arrived in Sweden sidelined by a knee injury but on his return from the treatment room, his colleagues stood together and insisted upon his selection. His first match was against the USSR in the third match of the first round of the 1958 FIFA World Cup. He was the youngest player of that tournament, and at the time the youngest ever to play in the World Cup. Against France in the semifinal, Brazil was leading 2–1 at halftime, and then Pelé scored a hat-trick, becoming the youngest in World Cup history to do so.
On 29 June 1958, Pelé became the youngest player to play in a World Cup final match at 17 years and 249 days. He scored two goals in that final as Brazil beat Sweden 5–2 in Stockholm, the capital. Following Pelé’s second goal, Swedish player Sigvard Parling would later comment; “When Pelé scored the fifth goal in that Final, I have to be honest and say I felt like applauding”. He finished the tournament with six goals in four matches played, tied for second place, behind record-breaker Just Fontaine, and was named best young player of the tournament.
When the 1962 World Cup started, Pelé was the best rated player in the world. In the first match of the 1962 World Cup in Chile, against Mexico, Pelé assisted the first goal and then scored the second one, after a run past four defenders, to go up 2–0. He injured himself in the next game while attempting a long-range shot against Czechoslovakia. This would keep him out of the rest of the tournament, and forced coach Aymoré Moreira to make his only lineup change of the tournament.
During his career in Santos Pelé won 6 Brasileiro Serie A, 2 Copa Libertadore and 2 Intercontinental Cup (1962 and 1963) against Benfica (8-4) and Milan (6-6 and after 1-0 in playoff match)
Pelé was the most famous footballer in the world during the 1966 World Cup in England. Pelé scored the first goal from a free kick against Bulgaria, becoming the first player to score in three successive FIFA World Cups, but due to his injury, a result of persistent fouling by the Bulgarians, he missed the second game against Hungary. Brazil lost that game and Pelé, although still recovering, was brought back for the last crucial match against Portugal at Goodison Park, in this match Pelé suffers against an injury made by Portugal defender Joao Morais, and Brazil was eliminated.
Pelé was called to the national team in early 1969, he refused at first, but then accepted and played in six World Cup qualifying matches, scoring six goals. The 1970 World Cup in Mexico was expected to be Pelé’s last. in the first match against Czechoslovakia, Pelé gave Brazil a 2–1 lead, Against Romania, Pelé scored two goals, with Brazil winning by a final score of 3–2. In the quarterfinals against Peru, Brazil won 4–2, with Pelé assisting Tostão for Brazil’s third goal. In their semi-final match, Brazil faced Uruguay for the first time since the 1950 World Cup final round match, Pelé assisted Rivelino for the 3–1.
Brazil played Italy in the final at the Azteca Stadium in Mexico City.Pelé scored the opening goal with a header after outjumping Italian defender Tarcisio Burgnich. He then made assists on Brazil’s third goal, scored by Jairzinho, and the fourth finished by Carlos Alberto. Brazil won the match 4–1, keeping the Jules Rimet Trophy indefinitely, and Pelé received the Golden Ball as player of the tournament.
During his international career, he won three FIFA World Cups: 1958, 1962 and 1970, being the only player ever to do so. Pelé is the all-time leading goalscorer for Brazil with 77 goals in 92 games. In Brazil, he is hailed as a national hero for his accomplishments in football and for his outspoken support of policies that improve the social conditions of the poor. Throughout his career and in his retirement, Pelé received several individual and team awards for his performance in the field, his record-breaking achievements, and legacy in the sport.
2Kids (Taemin) // Skeleton Flower: Things That Have Been Released And Set Free (Jonghyun)
Rio de Janeiro’s ordinary scenes 🇧🇷
#Rappiness is an illustration project that celebrates the currently status of rap and hiphop scene in Brazil, which is getting a lot of recognition these days. My homage illustrates the smiles of a few characters of Brazilian hiphop. It’s kinda funny how hard is to find BR rappers smiling on pictures, which gave a special touch to this project. Rappers: Criolo BK (Néctar) Mano Brown (Racionais) Emicida Drik Barbosa
Jinhwan: Oh man. Where to start? Jinwhan loves to take his time with rough sex. Giving you playful nips while you’re busy with something else. Kneading your skin with his hands and lips to warm you up. Jinwhan wants you to be as needy as he his when he gets you naked. So he’ll tease you with hot kisses or dirty texts. He likes getting you hot and needy so that he can bottom when he comes home. He fucking loves to watch you go crazy on him from the moment he opens the door. Jinwhan loves laying down and putting his hands under his head while listening to you pull of his pants with needy groans. The best thing for him is to look down and see the craze in your eyes. He’ll smile and that will make your need for him even worse! “Do whatever you want to me, Princess.” He’ll say and you’ll smirk with the endless possibilities.
Yunhyung: With Yunie rough sex starts as desire. He’ll pet your hair or stare at you until you give him a kiss but then he keeps his lips on yours when you try to back up. Then you’ll feel his lips become needy over yours. Yunhyung will hold you close as his lips speed up at a generous pace. When he has you in bed he’ll move a bit faster. His hands will only hold you tighter as his hips go faster and faster. His fingertips will leave soft bruises on your pelvis and thighs. That’s just how his rougher sessions always turn out. How ever rough Yun will be, he will never hurt you. He’s someone who could never forgive himself for hurting the one he loves. Really heavy breathing is all you will here. Just imagine him undressing you as he pants through his heavy desire. “I just feel like I’ll die without you, Y/N ah.”
Jiwon: Rough sex won’t start in the bedroom with Jiwon. It’ll start with teasing or jealously and that will continue until he snaps. The snap is a beautiful thing. The growl that will sound from his lips before he charges for you will have your lips quivering for contact. His lips won’t be rough at first, just fast and needy but he’ll pick up bit by bit. Groaning and putting you against every wall and table he can before taking you to bed. Jiwon will pin your arms or your legs or both. Lots of gorgeous sexy growls will be pushed against your lips and jawline and into your neck. Something that really comes out in yours and Jiwons rough moments is dirty talk. “Get loud for me, baby.” “Mm. You like that?” “Scream it.” “Ah, fuck. I like that.” “How are you so good at that?” “Goddamn, babe” “Work that shit!” He’ll coat every work in that gravel road of a voice and use them to get just how he needs you. Shaking and screaming. (Not a bad smut title…)
Hanbin: He will never fail to pull you against his body and groan at your surprise. His hands will run up and down your body, stripping you bare as his lips nip and mark any skin they can reach. There will be times when you don’t really know what’s happening. When all he can do his take you and not talk but those moments are the hottest! Hanbin will either pin your arms or want them wrapped around him, pulling his hair or scratching his back. He want to hear your moaning, mostly his name. He’ll moan your name back as his hips strike yours to make sure ecstasy is all you can see. Hanbin will never leave out a make out session so if he was too needy to tease your lips properly before you started fucking he’ll find a way to make out with you as you moan into each other’s mouths. Or he’ll wait until he’s no longer feeling so rough and make out with you as he holds you in his arms. “Did I hurt you, my love?” He’ll ask while his eye move around any mark(s) he just made.
Donghyuk: Ah, Donghyuk. He’s the one that wouldn’t fucking give a shit where you are or where he was. If he’s needy then he needs you. End of discussion. He’ll pull you into an empty practice room or guide you somewhere slightly secluded when he’s feeling up for it. “I need you so fucking bad.” He’ll groan against your neck as his hands run up your body. When he’s feeling really rough he’ll say something like, “let me have you here.” Or, “I’ve been aching to fuck you for too long.” Hair pulling, on both of your parts will play a big role. Donghyuk won’t ignore oral when he’s really needy but his tongue will feel different. Faster and not nearly as soft and that’s not a bad thing at all! Donghyuk will use his rougher moods to experiment with different positions. Trying to find the perfect position and place to fuck you senseless is an ultimate goal for him.
Junhwe: Curse words will be used whenever June gets rough! “Fuck.” “Holy shit.” “Goddamn it!” “You fucking love that, don’t you?” June has nothing against pinning you on a vanilla night but when he’s feeling rough your wrists with bruise. He’ll groan at the site of you all marked up from his own desires. Junhwe likes oral when he’s feeling the rough mood. Receiving mostly. He wants to hear you choke on him before he throws you in the bed and growls how much he wants to fuck you against your stomach. Grabbing/kneading is also really big for him. Just squeezing your ass or breasts or thighs. He loves watching the way your skin looks between his long, strong fingers so much! If you’ve made him jealous in any way Junhwe will extra loud and will pull your hair all night long. Rest assured. “Could they ever do you like this, baby? Huh? Answer me.”
Chanwoo: GET READY FOR SOME ANGST! Chanwoos snap for rough sex will build up slowly as he likes to steer his needs to always fit yours. He especially gets pent up when he’s away from you for a long time. Like, if he’s been needy all day and hasn’t been able to see or hear you, he’ll have a hard time controlling his whines of need when he sees you. However much he wants you, Chanwoo will always make himself take his time with you. Grabbing you in his arms and holding you against his body as he groans into your neck “I need you. So please be patient with me.” He’ll playfully slap your inner thighs and groan from behind his lips as he watches them jiggle. He’ll mark your neck with his lips and teeth as he grinds into you. “Can I go faster, please?” Chanwoo will curse and moan and whine your name into your neck as his hands hold down your waist or his fingers are laced with yours and pushed into the bed above your head. “Cum with me.”
Jonghyun's lyrics: I want you
Taemin's lyrics: You want me
Can I pls have some more proof? I agree so much about the Internet war thing!!
Hmm… let’s see… JongTae were always close. They were practically friends even before debut - they used to practice and walk home together and Jonghyun was always protective of Taemin since then. You might have heard of this already but once they were practising till late and Jonghyun called a cab for Taemin to take home and he even took a picture of the licence plate just in case. They would also stop at the market on their way home and eat out together. They would also sleep in the same bed together and use each other’s arms as pillows. JongTae moments existed even before they debuted and there were there since the beginning, but somehow 2min and JongKey kind of overpowered them at first. For example, there’s this overused gif set of 2min sleeping together in Hello Baby - but JongTae slept together in Hello Baby as well. They cuddled together and Jonghyun even pulled Taemin closer to him. So yeah, somehow they weren’t noticed until the Internet War thing happened. I noticed them way before that though.
The thing that suggests they’re closer than just friends are their dynamics. I’m sure shawols would have noticed, but Taemin is pampered by practically every member except for Jonghyun.
Jonghyun never really spoiled or pampered Taemin. He treated him like a baby sometimes, yes, and he often teased or playfully mocked him, but he never allowed Taemin to wrap him around his little finger like he did with the other members (because let’s face it: Taemin is an evil brat just like the rest of SM maknaes lol). Also, whilst all members seemingly wrapped Taemin up in cotton wool and treated him with utmost care, Jonghyun was always rough with him even though he obviously cares about Taemin a lot.
What I mean is, he’s not afraid to treat Taemin like his peer - they often fight, hit, and bite each other playfully. The other members would probably rather bite their own hands off than raise their finger against their maknae but Jonghyun actually left a bruise on his arm once when he bit him too hard (playfully, of course) and it just shows that he treats Taemin as his equal.
Something about how they function together is simply fascinating. It’s a constant pull-and-push and Taemin is also not afraid to hit him back - he did quite a few times (and this is really unusual, mind you, as in Korea you absolutely need to respect people older than you, but Taemin doesn’t always pay that respect to Jonghyun… and Jonghyun lets him):
So yeah, their relationship is quite unusual but also fascinating. Jonghyun also always mentions Taemin and Taemin always looks up to Jonghyun and strives to be a great singer like him. Also, have you noticed how lately Jonghyun has been rubbing off on Taemin? Sometimes, Taemin says or does things that you would normally expect from Jonghyun. Like on the WGM preview (I don’t know whether you watch WGM or not) Taemin walked, or more like skipped, across the road in Japan wearing a horse mask… and who’s known for wearing animal masks in public?
Jonghyun, of course.
Idk they have so many areas where they complement each other… they definitely have some kind of chemistry. They’re definitely good friends. Oh, and that reminds me of something… they fight. They said a few times themselves that they sometimes fight so much that Jonghyun wants to tell Taemin to “stop talking to me” however, considering that they always looked close, suggests that even though they may fight sometimes, they still always make up.
What about MinKey though? When those two fought, they were awkward together for TWO years! Also, when Onew fought with some member (no one knows which but it’s obvious that he fought with someone) he also distanced himself from the group for quite a while last year. But fighting is obviously not a problem for JongTae.
That’s OK because sometimes it’s healthy to fight once in a while.
Lastly, Taemin doesn’t actually sleep at the dorm that often if SHINee’s not performing - he even lies about where he sleeps. The only reason we know this is because Jonghyun actually wrote Taemin a message on a radio show last year pleading him to come back home more often because he’s lonely without him (they share a room together) and this year as well, he repeated practically the same thing.
Idk if that’s something I would ask of a friend. If I lived with five female friends as an adult and I had to share a room with one, I would be more than happy to be on my own - privacy and everything. What’s more, there would be three other friends at the dorm so why would I be lonely…?
Jonghyun certainly makes me question a few things. Also, I think that this Internet War, although it was just a series of performances, changed something within the group as well as it changed something between JongTae. 2min and JongKey were always the canon ships, but ever since Internet War, there was suddenly an outbreak of JongTae and MinKey that couldn’t go unnoticed.
Suddenly, JongTae and MinKey are the current trending OTPs and it started with Internet War. If Internet War was just a series of performances, why has MinKey kind of stuck together all of the sudden? Those series of performances didn’t only change JongTae - it also changed other OTPs.
Well, that’s all the “proof” I can think of right now, but like I said, I rather stay realistic ;) those are the main reasons why I ship JongTae so much though.
I’m going to sleep now~ thanks.

They debuted when kpop had a very specific style and concept of what young boy groups could do in order to sell but Shinee really knocked on the doors with replay and as soon as they opened, they deadass shot out Lucifer and Ring DD and no body was prepared lmao.
They legitimately redefined kpop and I really don’t think they get enough credit for that? FROM DAY ONE, they had the most intricate and class choreographies in kpop. There’s a reason why shinee are called performance legends. It’s because you can pick any damn shinee choreography and it’s just so amazingly well executed; Not to mention they’re the first kpop idols who started releasing choreography practice videos and dancing without backup dancers which as y’all can see, has become the norm now.
Also, TILL DATE Shinee had the most packed schedule for any kpop rookie group ever. They were out there performing for 8 hours and then going back home just to rehearse for another 8. Their success was so unexpectedly high and they were literally teenagers handling all that fame. Taemin was a literal child with a bowl cut ffs. Also, don’t come for my bowl cut children, they looked PRECIOUS in the replay MV.
Even as early as 2011, Shinee being known as variety show and pilot experts because they’re naturally so funny and have a bond within them that easily puts people at ease and makes for one crazy episode with no chaos or anything “extra” per say. Just shinee being shinee is enough. In an industry where idols don’t even react to other female idols at award shows cause of the knetz, ya bois, Taemin and Minho really went fuck it and did whole collab stages with Sunmi and Yuri. The flex. Not to mention the way Shinee and especially Jonghyun & Taemin said a huge Fuck you to Korea’s oh so precious “masculine aura” and just went on with releasing pretty boy and Taemin saying makeup isn’t something for girls and that makeup is for all genders, a legend.
The way Shinee had fans in countries like Dubai, Russia, India and many many others at a time when kpop really wasn’t a thing? It was just Korean music for Koreans but shinee went ahead and did their thing and it broke language barriers as if they were air. It’s 2020 and Barack Obama talking about shinee still feels like a fever dream to me tbh.
Not even mentioning anything else now BUT just their music and it’s impact man?? The way shinee put out ALBUM after ALBUM with no rest and the fact being that, Every damn song they put out was a WHOLE BANGER.
Like?? SHINEE’S FUCKING DISCOGRAPHY??
JULIETTE, SHERLOCK, RING DD, REPLAY, LUCIFER, STRANGER, GOOD EVENING, VIEW, PICASSO, MARRIED TO THE MUSIC, WHY SO SERIOUS?? BRUH WHAT EVEN?
SHINEE songs that get covered by rookie idols everyday, mentioned by established idols as their inspiration during trainee days, songs that the entire population of Korea would know. Songs that trainees practice on for hours hoping that one day they too, would debut.
Shinee, a boygroup who’s know as the group who “made their own concepts” and everyone else simple followed.
And the craziest part is they are one of the longest standing groups in kpop, been together for 12 whole years and are still as relevant and iconic as ever. The fact that all five members have so much solo potential and even then nothing trivial like fame or money had ever seemed to break shinee up as a group is really a feat.
Taemin is no doubts THE best dancer and one of the most successful soloists in the entire kpop industry. A living legend tbh. His discography is hot, molten GOLD. Jonghyun’s VOCALS are liter-al-ly one of the strongest vocals in the entire industry and every damn shinee song is a proof of his sheer excellence as a main vocalist. Cue to Stranger. Onew deadass sang opera for a loaded audience once and left everyone shook and his 40 sec long note. Also, this man leads the chaos that is shinee, mad respect. Key’s rapping style is honestly so distinctive. y’all put him in a room with 10 rappers and he’ll still outsell. Also, his ‘born to shine’ solo stage. HE DID THAT. Minho really out there being a multi talented class act, who’s a main rapper but has vocals that could kill. Not only that, man be out here having acted in so many successful dramas.
Imma say this once and I want all you third gen kpop stans to print it out, Shinee did for kpop what no one else did so you might not stan them or listen to their music but the one thing your ass will do, IS RESPECT THEM. Respect shinee and everything that they went through in a time where kpop wasn’t shit and kpop artists were treated so heartlessly as if they were nothing but cash machines. Also they’re from SM so God knows what kinda shit that company has put them through and one can never imagine the sheer amount of pressure on the members to have been so young and so in pain but having no one to trust at the heights of their success; Imagine being loved and cheered on by thousands on a stage only to come back home to nothing but you and your head in the now deafening silence. Imagine waking up one day and finding out that a boy you spent half your lifetime with, shared your best and worst moments with, is suddenly gone? Just like that? AND THEN having the sheer fucking courage to go up in front of thousand teary eyes and questioning glances, leaving a microphone empty on a stage and while using his damn background vocals; singing your heart out to the songs he wrote under an aqua blue moon knowing, for sure, that what began in 2008 will never really end, ever.
THAT IS SHINEE. FIVE LEGENDS. PERIOD POINT BLANK.
5hinee; OT5 for life, motherfuckers.
