#felt the need to say it

[sdentii]

Hey guys? Guys? Hey, how about we stop reducing Miguel to a ball of anger (and/or sexiness) and we recognise him as an individual with a terrible past, lots of guilt for his mistakes, but also Spiderman?

Spiderman is community oriented (he built a goddamn society!! For others like him to enjoy and find a belonging and help in!!), always putting himself on the path of danger and sparing other younger spiders from harm (see him telling Gwen to back off with Vulture), collaborative, and while not particularly humorous he’s incredibly patient.

He lashes out when nothing else is working, and he’s trying (in his distorted beliefs, sure) to keep things from glitching into nothingness, because that’s what he believes is best. He is an antagonist but he is not a villain.

He says it himself: “I don’t always like what I have to do.”

He is not his anger.

He is so patient with Hobie stealing his stuff and instigating. He is so patient with Peter’s rambling and brushing off and defending and Mayday’s free roaming. He is so patient with Gwen despite her disobeying direct orders. He is so patient with Miles, trying to explain things even if the teen is not supposed to be there, or meet anyone of the society (until time is right?). Aside from the desk throw, which I chalk up to frustration, he is so patient. His patience runs out not even when Miles starts running, it’s when he keeps running and refusing to listen.

He doesn’t lash out at Peter for not stalling Miles when he had the occasion to, he doesn’t yell at anybody for letting the teen slip away, doesn’t yell at Spiderbyte, who is arguably the reason why Miles’ plan went through.

If you’d be honest with yourselves, you’d realise that he’s way more patient and caring than most people would be in his situation.

He lets Gwen come along despite everything because he understand he can’t leave a kid homeless like that, and he even tells Miles when his canon event is gonna happen, maybe for closure, maybe to give him a time frame of reference for his “stay” in HQ, that I don’t know. He probably expected Miles to be more collaborative, so he gave the answers he was looking for.

Let’s not forget that his grief is still pretty new, because it’s only been a year and some months between itsv and atsv, and Peter was there when “Miguel’s” dimension collapsed, so it means it’s very very fresh, only months old. It’s normal to be biased and honestly a little fucked up from an event like that. He carries the weight of an universe’s death on his shoulders, and yet he tries everything he can before resorting to anger and violence. He tries warning, he tries blacklisting, he tries surveilling, he tries talking.

He thinks the sacrifice is necessary, and if he was objectively right in his beliefs, which I think he’s not, he’d be the one in the right.

I know it’s a joke for most, but it’s getting old honestly. I want to see Miguel’s softer sides be portrayed way way more, not only in x readers (especially because they either ooc him or make him overly sexual) and in shippy situations, but with his friends and colleagues too. Please.

He is tired and stressed and drowning in guilt, he is not an angry monster ready to lash out at anything and anyone.

He is also a huge goofy nerd with no spidey-sense nor sense of self preservation, and he lets himself be tossed around by his little holographic friend even in difficult situations.

C’mon. We can do better than whatever is happening now in the majority of this fandom.

lead balloon (the tumblr post that saved me)

if this comic resonated with you, it would mean the world to me if you donated to this palestinian family's escape fund.

--

no creative notes because this isn't that kind of comic.

I know I don’t owe any of you anything but I still felt compelled to write about my long term absence. And I feel far enough away from the dangerous spot I was in to be able to make this comic. I have a therapist now, and she agreed that making this could be a very cathartic gesture, and the start of properly leaving these thoughts behind me. I am still, at seemingly random times, blindsided by fleeting desires to kill myself. They’re always passing urges, but it’s disarming, and uncomfortable. I worry sometimes that my brain’s spent so long thinking only about suicide that it’s forgotten how to think about anything else. Like, now that I've opened that door for myself, I'll never be able to fully shut it again. But I’m trying my best to encourage my mind in other directions. We'll see how that goes.

I am still donating all proceeds from my store to Palestinian causes. So far, I've donated over $15K, not including donations coming from my own pocket or the fundraising streams which jointly raised around $10K. In the time since I made my initial post about where this money would be going, the focus has shifted from aid organisations to directly donating to escape funds.

If you'd like to do the same, you can look at Operation Olive Branch, which hosts hundreds of Palestinian escape funds or donate to Safebow, which has helped facilitate the safe crossing and securing of important medical procedures for over 150 at-risk palestinians since the beginning of the genocide.

#cw: suicidal ideation #cw: suicide #cw: self harm #cw: mental health #cw: depression #i made the balloon the main representation of my self destructive urges for a reason but im not going to explain it #i tried to keep a lot of the details in this vague #it would be my worst nightmare if this comic encouraged someone to hurt themselves #so. please dont #for a long time even the thought of making this comic felt so insipid and narcissistic #with the state of the world as it is #having the only threat to your life be yourself felt so privileged and trite and shameful #but doing this comic made me sit down and process things in full #and im just. very grateful i didn't give in to my thoughts back when i sincerely felt i'd be more useful to the world dead #i also feel the need to say that this wont represent everyone's battle with mental illness. its unfortunately different for all of us #there is no fix-all #and im afraid this might be one of those comics that either resonates a lot or misses the target by a mile #i made it for myself foremost. and now that its done im glad i did it #thank you for reading #and please stay alive #stillindigo art #stillindigo comics

Seein' too many Twitter refugees asking if they'll get in trouble for saying "kill yourself" to people and while no, you're not gonna get nuked from orbit, that is maybe something you just shouldn't be doing in general perhaps?? Maybe telling people to kill themselves is bad actually?? Some of y'all are wild, why is the first thing you can think to ask on a new platform if you can send one of the worst kinds of harassment to people?? Grow tf up and learn how to use the block button. It'll do wonders for your mood, trust me.

#this is the real cringe behavior #also you'll get reported if you do this it's actually against the rules #why do you want to do that?? #I've never felt the need to say that to anyone ever #is there a joke I'm missing out on like wtf is wrong with you #twitter #twitterpocalypse #suicide mention #ask to tag

i’ll never understand people who can’t make fun of their faves a little. like yes i love this character and would defend them to my grave but also they’re stupid sometimes and they do dumb things and imma make fun of them for it

#someone commented under the alan post i made with him saying he can’t separate work from personal matters #and felt the need to clarify that this is what a professional would do #like yeah i agree. i made a post about that. #however this post is making fun of the fact that he’s a lil liar GDKDKED #liz rambles #greatest hits

anyway in the past week the irish government has voted down two motions which would have condemned the genocide in gaza.

i need everyone to stop lionising ireland as if its not also a european government with strong ties to the us. american weapons pass through shannon airport and will continue to, because yesterday the motion to stop that was voted down 83 to 50.

other governments have done much more but somehow people still act as though ireland is the ultimate palestinian ally and exempt from criticism on its handling of palestine bc it was once colonised, even though that past experience clearly isnt being taken into account by the irish government when creating policy.

i live here i know there’s a lot of public support and sympathy for palestine, which is great, but that isnt reflected in government, and i think ireland should be treated like other countries whose governments have done nothing.

#i mean i think theres also a discrepancy btwn the govt and the people on palestine bc there hasnt been a general election since early 2020 #before the last few rounds of aggression by israel brought it back into mainstream western discussion #but also theres a degree of privilege in ppl not having felt the need to think abt it in 2020 yk. palestinians have been thinking abt this #since 1948 #there’s also the fact that ideological support of palestine absolutely doesn’t equate to better treatment of muslims #i can promise you this country is still very islamophobic and racist no matter where you go #and i feel like that gets glossed over when ireland is treated as the ultimate ally of palestine when. realistically. it isnt #be quiet b #sorry this is like paragraphs but im becoming frustrated 👍 #ive seen other posts abt this im not the first to say it they were just unrebloggable. understandably

i'm sure this has already been said but something-something, Zooble being canonically genderqueer/questioning/Not-Cis and their design being made up of random parts that disconnect and fall apart feels like a nice nod to not just experiencing an identity crisis but gender dysphoria in particular

edit: Zooble canonically goes by any pronouns :3

the machine.

a comic about being a 'creator' online.

creative notes:

#in light of recent online 'success' i feel like this may come off as ungrateful #just wanna say that all the comics i make in this series are written about experiences i felt in 2022 #which was a rough year personally and creatively #and i very luckily don't feel this way anymore #and this also isnt to shame anyone who DOES feel this way #its easy to start to feel like all you are is a vending machine of art #and like thats all you are to people #theres nothing human to you #it can be a bit of a pit #and on some level this damage is self inflicted but social media really doesnt help that feeling #this wont work for everyone but having friends around you who you can talk to about stuff that ISNT art #going outside for dinner #maybe walking around #its good for when you need that feeling to go away even a bit temporarily #youre a human being #not a mindless content creation machine #and i hope anyone who feels like this now can get to a place where they have a healthier relationship with their own work #good luck to all of you #and thank you for reading #comic art #its 10pm #stillindigo art

listen im ace and im pro kink at pride and whatever, but the way some of yall are wording your posts in response to the backlash against it is uh. really taking me back to the ace shitcourse era.

yall know theres nothing wrong with being a "virgin", right? that its not inherently shameful to have not had sex, to never have sex, even if youre not ace, even if you do want to have sex someday, like, its fine that you haven't had sex?

maybe if your problem is that theyre trying to police your behavior and shame you for expressing your sexuality, you can say that? instead of resorting to "haha stupid virgin gets no bitches" like my god. do you not hear how fucking regressive that attitude is? i know, i know, youre "joking".

get a better joke

#toy txt post #god im going to regret this post im gonna regret it so much i can feel it in my bones #let it flop..........pls #internalize my message let it sink in and understand what i am saying and then let the post flop #i say. knowing the ppl who need to see such a message are the ones who will make me regret this post and regrwt not having #1 million bajillion disclaimers #virgin is in quotes bc its a bullshit made up stupid purity culture concept anyway and quite frankly i hate even seeing the word #disclaimer: the previous sentence is not me saying that it is a slur for asexuals. it is me a single individual saying this specific word #grosses me out to read and see everywhere when its a stupid bullshit binary made up or at least historically largely used #to shame largely women and i dont know why we're still using it in 2023 #and ive just been. seeing such an uptick in this whole like. attitude? lately and like #im ace im minorly sex repulsed. mostly about anything sex at me bad. other adults sex at each other consensually? go wild #i like to think im pretty chill about it. i try to be. i think its fine ig to be like 'my meat is huge i fuck so much so good' #like okay not my thing but good for you. love that for you #but then some of yall have started turning it back around back to. 'haha your meat so small and shriveled you get no bitches' #'haha stupid incel virgin' like okay. didnt realize we all went back to fucking. middle school but okay #god im gonna run out of tine to get ready for my thing writing this stupid post UGH evil #but like idk we've kinda circled back to being like haha being a virgin still is stupid and silly and shameful #and if im quite honest. i do think the acecourse played a part in that bc i felt like we were making good progress in like #hey guys is fine to not have sex ever if you dont want to its fine to not want sex its fine #and then aphobes went fucking rabid on us and splintered and destroyed online communities all over but especially on tumblr #and so many aces went back in the closet we stopped talking about it we stopped spreading awareness and now this stupid goddamn like #and now this stupid bullshit attitude is back where its like funny to call someone a virgin as an insult but like no bro trust me its okay #its okay for me to do it bc im a hot queer person with huge meat instead of a cisstraight frat bro with huge meat #? like you know the issue was the behavior right? not the fact that it was straight dudes saying it? its bc the thing being said was shitty? #you know you can dunk on the puritan bitches trying to police your behavior at pride without getting us as collateral damage right #stop making me read that stupid ugly ass word ur not cool or funny #whatever #if you come on to this post to start shit i will not only block you but as many of your mutuals and followers as i can find. i will scroll #i will block this entire fucking website if i need to do not test me. i am exhausted and the acecourse ate up all my tolerance in 2015.

Hey, you know it's okay to have different headcanons than others in the fandom, right?

It's okay to change canon in a way that you like.

If you like to stick to canon that's fine, too!

If you think this guy is pan, hell yeah he is, go right ahead.

If you think the same guy is straight because he's only dated girls, perfect!

They're non binary in your fanfics because their voice actor is? Cool!

She's trans? AND lesbian?! Awesome!

It's your interpretation of it, it's your headcanons, go absolutely nuts. Not everyone will agree but at least you're fandom-ing in a way that you enjoy.
