Do you... do you... draw professionally. Because you're just so good and you are inspiring me to keep trying! Manifest those mental images!! Learn to draw yakumo getting railed, and other Normal reasons to revitalize one's previous interest in drawing

u think i could draw professionally??! 😲🥺🥺 i am so flatter..... i think ur draws are so scrorchy (very enjoyable] so if i can help u have inspire 😭😭😭😭😭

omfg if u learn to draw yakumo getting railed i'll probably explode/implode/evaporate/change states of matter in a sudden, violent way

bc. i cannot do it. fun fact: when i read y'all's collab fic of dante's sex ed i felt the urge to draw 3 specific panels for it. but as i put the stylus to the screen, i realised that SEVERAL ppl would have to be naked for the drawings to be storycally accurate. so even tho they were comedy panels, my hand... it betrayed me. it was like trying to draw porn but i blink and suddenly everyone's in 14 levels of victorian extra-garment. F...H?OISTED BY MY OWN UNHORNY

so yes. pls. i would love to see more of your contributions. the very special contributions that only u can make 😂

#asks #to answer ur question for realsi #during times when i am actually employed #i would be animating rigs. which means very little drawing #my job would be clicking and keyboarding more than anything #the hours are long and my brain is so overheated #by the end of the work day i don't want to do anything artistic or even watch shows #so i never have the time for actual drawing. i miss it... #therefore. despite going into art as a profession. i don't rly do much art while employed 😢 #i joke that my periods of greatest artistic growth were during my fandom hyperfixations #bc those were the times when i would explore styles #try new stuff and experiment with media and really work hard to make pieces look a certain way #whereas art school was more formulaic and apathetic (oh nooo i don't get to draw gay fanart for my assignments? what's the point) #nowadays? i've chilled out on the Great Experimental Growth phase #and try to draw stupid little things that don't take up too much brainpower #otherwise i get real in my head about my weaknesses #bc of course your peers in the anim program are going to KICK BUTT in several fields that you may not excel in #this is partially why i started drawing on my phone #bc it forces me to work with a small canvas. thus fewer details #i can't overthink what i can't see on my tiny screen!!!! #anyway. this period of unemployment has actually helped me draw personal art again. it's nice to rediscover your hobby AS A HOBBY #here's hoping u get something out of ur up-n-coming drawings too......

One art style I have always liked is the old graphic novel with an emphasis on black lines and solid colors. You can see it in my previous works. This is the first time I think I've finally tapped into that using pixel art. I've wanted this style for years and I'm really happy with this result. I want to do more like this when time permits!

School is kicking my butt and eating most of my free time. I am working on a 3d game, but game-making is sometimes unrewarding. Sometimes, I need to make something artistic within a few days.

I'm not taking any requests or commissions.

Oh yeah- did I mention I applied for disability? I-... don't think I did? Welp, if I did then you can hear about it again I guess.

But yeah- im now a legal adult, can't work/unable to get/hold/complete a job. Still live with parents. They pay for everything. I am currently going through community college while getting my medical issues as under control as possible so I can hopefully transfer to a four year. I'm majoring in fine arts through community college, with a plan to work in graphic design, which I could hopefully do from home at a desk, but as of now, I can't physically or mentally work, and school is really kicking my butt, with a class load of only 3 classes too. All I do is school and doctor appointments.

Um- what else-... I have yet to receive denial or approval? If it's denied then- I'm stuck with parents indefinitely? Could potentially be handed over to older sibling? Or, I'll have to fight it for approval maybe? I don't really know. If it's approved then Yaya? I don't want to live off disability if I don't have to- someone else probably needs it more, but I can't work with my current medical issues, and while I know I won't magically get better, there is the possibility that it all stabilizes with the right medication and treatment plan so that I could potentially work in the future.

But as of right now?

Standing triggers an episode. Sitting triggers an episode. Weather triggers an episode. Too hot? Triggered episode. Too cold? Triggered episode. Chemical smell? Triggered episode. Allergies? Triggered episode. Move to fast? Triggered episode. Stay still too long? Triggered episode. Eat something? Triggered episode.

At this point, everything is a trigger, and I don't know what to do besides continue looking for a treatment plan that could help with my medical team.

Power Rangers Ninja Storm HCs and Character Analysis (kind of)

The first of a series of long posts examining the characters of PR Ninja Storm

Shane Clarke

Background/story

Dad is very come and go. Absent for most of his life before leaving for good after the birth of his little sister

His mom is awesome, but had to pick up multiple jobs after his dad left

She works at a diner that the rangers frequent often

Shane picked up a job at Storm Chargers to help out and that’s where he met Dustin

Has an older brother (2-3 years older) who he does not get along with

Brother ignores background (Read: Family)

Says Shane needs to try harder to ‘get out of their city’ in order to ‘make something of himself’

Dad put a lot of expectations on them whenever he was around

Brother wants to make him proud

Shane is pissed that he expected so much of them while doing the bare minimum for them himself

Needless to say they have very different opinions on their dad

They both love their family though and help their mom out wherever they can (brother is going to become a lawyer and Shane works at Storm Chargers)

Has a little sister (5) who Shane adores with his whole heart

Babysits when he can

Is teaching her how to skateboard and some martial arts

She adores Dustin (as most kids do) and thinks Tori is very pretty

Is cautious of Hunter and Blake at first (Shane complained about ‘the new kids at work’ a lot)

Eventually starts to like them (Hunter sweeps her off her feet like Dustin, but Blake is a fun playmate too)

She is very cute

Met Dustin at Storm Chargers when he had to get a new skateboard (he broke it doing a guard rail slide)

Became best buddies when Shane stopped a group of bullies from picking on Dustin at school 

Dustin started working at Storm Chargers first and Shane hung out there so much that Kelly just offered to pay him to be there (Dustin double bodies with Shane to get work done) (It’s a 50/50 on whether they get work done or not)

Have the brotherly relationship Shane wanted with his brother (they tease and tussle a lot but they want the best for each other and are very supportive/protective)

Met Tori when she came into Storm Chargers lost (Before they worked there)

Dustin and Shane recognized her from school and go to say hi

They startle her and she sprays them with water to which she freaks out about because her parents freak out about it but Dustin and Shane show her their abilities with earth and air (in secret) and she chills about it

Shane asked how a girl could do sports and both Dustin and Tori are like ‘Girls can do sports!’ ‘Yeah, my older sister is really good at soccer and basketball!’ ‘Oh. Sorry. Do you do any sports?’ ‘I surf’ ‘Awesome!!’

They slowly become friends (Tori is a little more anxious than Shane and Dustin at this point in time)

Eventually become family and are very close (also protective, mainly of Dustin since he is prone to getting bullied) (Dustin is oblivious to it but he appreciates his friends for sticking up for him anyways) (People basically stopped when he shot up, got buff, and hella pretty) 

Shane keeps a lot of guys off Tori when they’re at the beach because the vibes are wrong 

Also aromantic and doesn’t understand why Tori may want to have random strangers come and flirt with her

Shane and Tori fight like siblings do and Dustin is either mediator or off to the side with popcorn

Side tangent of their entering of the Ninja Academy for timeline reasons

Started at the beginning of high school so they could have something to do together since they have different sporting hobbies

Ended up being a bit of an elaborate plan to get them into the academy (since it’s a secret academy)

Officially known as the Academy of Elemental Ninjutsu

Dustin is all for it and is excited to be a ninja but Shane and Tori are a little more skeptical (secretly also very excited)

They are the most powerful students, but don’t have much experience with their powers so they get their butts kicked a lot

They are pretty good for the amount of time they’ve put in

Can use smoke bombs, can ninja vanish, streak, and have shurikens

Tori would always be on time of not for the boys

Ok, back to their relationships with people

Didn’t know Cam until they started at the academy and even then it was only through very, very brief interactions (Cam doesn’t like talking to people… or people in general)

After the academy is destroyed, they start talking to him more and dubbed him their ‘guy in the chair’ (affectionate)

Become fiercely protective of him (he’s the littlest brother) (he is older than both Tori and Dustin) (he says as much)

Shane is very impressed with fighting skills even before he became a ranger

Appreciates him, but shows it in his usual manner of teasing and back slaps (Cam thinks he’s being made fun of) (he is not)

Does not like Hunter or Blake the first time they meet 

Susses them out immediately as bad news and argues over them a little with Dustin and Tori

Is very vindicated when they do turn out to be bad but doesn’t rub it in because Dustin and Tori are pretty upset over it

Sympathizes with them for having lost a parent (in a different way for him but still)

Is still suspicious and cautious by the time the leave, but takes a neutral stance for the most part

And then when they come back brainwashed he fucking loses it

Hates them, hates them so much, he doesn’t care what happened to their parents they are hurting his friends (badly)

Finds out they were brainwashed and takes all the anger he had for them and takes it out on Choobo (Who dies and stays dead, thank you)

Pretty chill with Blake but has a very intense rivalry with Hunter since they are both reds/head of their group

Calms down after they realize they have a lot in common, including older brother overprotectiveness, and it becomes a friendly rivalry

Personality/Headcanons/Arcs

Headstrong and follows his guts on most things

Also very stubborn and likes to do things his way

But is caring and protective too and looks out for his own

Strategically smart and is the most experienced with weaponry

Specialized in crossbows, bows and arrows, and (for some ungodly reason) guns

Is also handy with a fan and throwing knives

Powers allow him to walk on air, has a longer hang time in general (very helpful with skateboard practice)

Can hold is breath for the longest (Tori is a close second)

Powers also make him silent on his feet (can and has scared his fellow rangers) (Must announce his presence when walking into a room)

Hated the fact that his friends were going to be put in the line of fire when they become rangers

Thus why he pushes them so hard and tries to take the brunt of the punches

Learns to trust his team and to work as a unit

Has a lot of self-esteem issues and constantly feels like he has to prove himself

Dustin and Tori try to help with this, and later Sensei because this is something that an adult should be helping with

Has to learn that he is enough on his own and he doesn’t need his brother’s approval for anything he does

Shane thought the thing with Skylar was a dream 

He had that dream a lot as a kid and then it stopped

He was confused when they started up again and they gave him a weird feeling

Skylar was basically his platonic soulmate and he was so happy to finally meet her and then she dies and it’s ANGSTY

LET SHANE CRY OVER HER AFTER SHE DIES

Dustin and Tori are there for comfort

On a happier note, Shane can sing

Like really well

“It is your birthday~”

Becomes a sensei at the end of the show and eventually takes over as headmaster when sensei retires

Tori Hanson : Dustin Brooks : Hunter Bradley : Blake Bradley : Cam Watanabe

(G)I-DLE - "QUEENCARD"

Time to find out once and for all -- like, for real this time -- who hates fun!

6.29

Kayla Beardslee: Dumb bitches assemble (affectionate). "Queencard" is kind of embarrassing to defend (you're going to bat for the boob and booty hot song? really?), but if you listen to it enough, it becomes impossible to deny that it's also kind of a banger. It would be a different matter if the production and topline weren't pulling their weight, but that bassline rips, and those line-to-line handoffs between all five members in the first verse get me every time. It also helps that this song comes from by far the best album (G)I-DLE has ever put out: when "Queencard" is placed next to the beautiful, dreamy B-side "Paradise" or the sinister-sexy "Lucid," its goofiness seems less like actual vapidity and more like Soyeon intentionally fucking around because she knows it's good to have a little fun and gas yourself up sometimes. Like, look me in the eyes and tell me it's not high performance art to release "Tomboy" and "Queencard" (and "Nxde"!) within a year of one another. I can get on board with a bit of silliness in exchange for the album I've been waiting for (G)I-DLE to make since I first discovered them -- which, as it happens, was when the Jukebox covered "Uh Oh" back in 2019. What a lovely and emotionally nuanced full-circle moment. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go back to twerking on the runway. [8]

Crystal Leww: MY BOOB AND BUTT IS HOT MY BOOB AND BUTT IS HOT MY BOOB AND BUTT IS HOT MY BOOB AND BUTT IS HOT MY BOOB AND BUTT IS HOT [8]

Katherine St Asaph: Vintage Fergie. [3]

Harlan Talib Ockey: Ridiculous. [7]

Tara Hillegeist: As an object lesson in one of pop music's golden rules -- "unfuckwithable production can save unforgivable lyrics every time" -- "Queencard" ticks all the bases. Embarrassing lines like "twerking on the runway" and "sexy like Kim Kardashian" that not even Meghan Trainor could've written with a straight face completely fail to dent that supple bassline and synth-bleep driven stomp of a beat. There isn't a single word of this song worth dignifying with a sincere analysis; there isn't a single word of this song that matters while the squelched-alarm bubble and squeak of a melody and irrepressible line delivery are still making the brain jiggle like so much excited jelly under their sonic assault. This is a missive from the same school of thought that produced "Song 2": a heady slab of music so thoroughly stupid yet sneeringly self-confident about it, hearing it excites the listener enough to mistake it for the work of a frustrated genius, instead. I cannot take its message seriously without taking insult. I can't stop pressing repeat. [7]

Will Adams: So many delightfully dumb lines, it's hard to choose a favorite. I wish the music had been equally as silly, as opposed to whatever Jonas Brothers purgatory it currently exists in. [5]

Alfred Soto: Elements from Pussycat Dolls and Meghan Trainor drift and fade with the attention span. [4]

Daniel Montesinos-Donaghy: This quintet's energy is infectious enough to take "Queencard" (great title) to the finish line, but there's no getting past the backing track. Envision every Black Friday/post-Christmas/commercial on TV, strip the jaunty musical beds from their flatscreen-deal context, then paste them one after the other. I'm sorry, but GO TO PRISON!!! [2]

Nortey Dowuona: Pop rock as an aesthetic is actually a good thing to be pilfering from. It's not novel or boundary pushing in the slightest, but after the last decade of everything stealing from rap -- the structures, the adlibs, the flows, the kicks, snares, hi-hats and percussion, the poses, the clothing -- and miserably failing to even slightly capture the same lightning strike... maybe don't be bothered to try. I've been listening to What Had Happened Was with Questlove, and at each turn I grow more frustrated by the fact that neither he nor Black Thought ever cottoned on to the giant possibilities of being an actual band, only producing musical phrases to be looped in the least interactive or vivid way. And this song, which is a solid approximation of 2005 pop rock and 2011 piss-take raps, just frustrates me cuz it feels like Jeon So-yeon, the group's Questlove, has the same problem; being able to make poppy Shafiq Husayn records and settling for Max Martin throwaways. [5]

Joshua Minsoo Kim: How long has it been since we've had an honest-to-god hook song? You could blame it on shifting musical trends, but ever since K-pop made it big in the West, lyrics have had to start making sense. This means we've been deprived of the joy that comes with wonky English. The lyrics are especially camp on "Queencard," but it goes beyond that: it's the total surrendering of a topline to phrasing and rhythm. Case in point: "My boob and booty" has syllabic parallels with "I'm top" and "twerking." There's also a slick maneuvering between English and Korean here, with (G)I-DLE selecting the words that sound best -- "ppoppo" is way more fun than "kiss," and "I'm cute" can be delivered with more sass than the same phrase in Korean. "Queencard" may not be a term the average American knows, but it doesn't matter: it's the sort of nonsense word that you can repeat incessantly, much like we all did with "gee" 14 years ago. To top it off, (G)I-DLE actually sound like they're enjoying themselves instead of delivering a Serious Message. We may never get a song like this again. [7]

David Moore: There's boob and booty and twerking in this one, sure, but the most exhilarating part of the whole thing is when the phrase "I'm a queencard" in the chorus devolves into uncanny syllables, like Jell-O starting to go runny in the sun, in a way doesn't just tell you what a queencard is, but really points to it -- this is a queencard. I'm reminded that K-pop isn't just multilingual, but often meta-lingual in the way that so much (all?) good pop is, refusing to let words get by as mere signifiers and forcing us to reckon with words at the phonemic, molecular level. How wild is it that the entire basis of our civilization is built on these funky noises we make with our mouths and tongues and lungs and noses and throats? I think that's neat. [8]

Kat Stevens: I worry that she's going to lose a lot of money at poker. [6]

Michael Hong: Look, Soyeon's English lyrics are often questionable, and it doesn't help that each member seems to drop syllables. She's exaggerated her "rapping" voice to be sharper and more piercing, and the lyric "look so cool, look so sexy like Kim Kardashian (uh) / look so cute, look so pretty like Ariana" fits awkwardly in the meter and is a bit reductive of each (but also your bad if you expected a nuanced feminist take from the group that brought you "Nxde"). And the entire thing is just a Valley Girl rip of "Song 2" by Blur. And yet, 4 + 4 is still: [8]

Brad Shoup: The pre-chorus is really interesting, how it teeters on the rim of Meghan Trainor maltshop-pop without ever falling in. It's a nice break from the spy-theme slink that dominates this. [5]

Jacob Sujin Kuppermann: Referencing Ariana Grande directly feels like giving away the game -- this is some real Dangerous Woman shit, a maximalist pop barrage that seems to operate on the principle that if you make enough baffling aesthetic and lyrical decisions it'll loop back to sense eventually. Joke's on me -- they're right! This sounds like how I imagine getting shot out of a T-shirt cannon would feel. [7]

Michelle Myers: Shuhua is a queencard. Soyeon is squeak-rapping like she's HyunA's daughter. Minnie is hosting a blue champagne party and doing her best Debbie Harry impression. Miyeon hard carries the pre-chorus. Yuqi is jamming the phrase "sexy like Kim Kardashian" into five syllables. She's top. She's twerking on the runway. [8]

Anna Katrina Lockwood: "I'm twerking on the runway" has got to be in the top five greatest stunt English lines in K-pop history. (G)I-DLE have always had oodles of talent and charisma, but "Queencard," like last year's "Tomboy," has the confidence of maturity and a rare sense of unfettered enjoyment. Nobody's had such a good time in a music video since GD and TOP went to the club. Speaking of YG party songs, of course this is reminiscent of that format---though as others have pointed out, it lacks the true YG party chorus to close. There are a few better precedents in Cube's own history, which are combined effectively with a vaguely punk rock sound and a sensitive handful of blog house references. Part of the magic has to be the judicious editing Soyeon has applied here -- "Queencard" is a blisteringly tight 2:41, far from the bloat often befalling her earlier compositions. It's fun, you can shout along to it, there's a funny little dance, there are at least three melodies I've had stuck in my head--it's some good fucking K-pop. [9]

A small news update:

I am almost done with the sketches!! This semester of grad school has been kicking my butt pretty hard, and it hasn’t really slowed down much. I’m not entirely sure if it will slowly down beyond this point 🥲

Anyway. I finished a paper today so I was able to get a huge chunk of the sketches done. The only downside to doing chapters en masses like the redos is that I got so good about making detailed thumbnails… I have to keep reminding myself that my thumbnails don’t need to be super detailed lol

With that being said, Chapter 8 is looking to be over 40 pages. There’s a lot of stuff that’s in this chapter, and a whole lotta angst.

Here’s to hoping I can get this chapter started before December. It’s been almost 2 years since Chapter 7 lol (but to be fair, there were some chapter reduxes during that time).

Feel free to follow me on my main account for other art (@data2048), or on any other platform under the same handle.

STRANGER THINGS meets EMPIRE RECORDS

(No real order or reason just thought these worked.)

Robin: Attention Rex Manning fans. To your left you will notice a shoplifter being chased by night manager, Eddie. This young man will be caught, deep fried in a vat of hot oil and served to our first hundred customers. Just another tasty treat from the gang at Empire Records.

Max: Who glued these quarters down? Eddie: I did. Max: What the hell for? Eddie: I don't feel that I need to explain my art to you, Red.

Steve: What's with you? Yesterday you were normal, and today, you're like the Chinese guy from the Karate Kid. What's with you today? Eddie: What's with today today?

Eddie: You did have hair when you went in there, right? Eleven/Jane: Yeah. It's still in the sink, if you want to glue it.

Argyle: They're my special recipe... and you know what that means... Lots of sugar.

Nancy: Eddie, do you think it's possible for a person to be in love with someone else and not even know it? Eddie: In this life, there are nothing but possibilities. Nancy: Well, that's good because I have to tell Robin I love her by 1:37. Eddie: That's an excellent time.

Robin: Hi, what're you doing up here?[Nancy pushes Robin so she falls] Nancy: You listen to me! You're so special, and you're so talented, and you have everything it takes! You have MORE than everything it takes, and you're REALLY stupid because you don't know that. And I know you don't love me anymore, and I know that I blew it, but at least I know that, and if you don't go to art school and if you don't understand how special you are, then you know nothing! Robin: Nancy, I... Nancy: And I did love you, and I still... only I didn't realize that it really was love because it was more than love, and it wasn't just some stupid feeling in my stomach like everything else, and I'll never love anybody as much as you and I hate you! I hate you! Robin: Nancy, I quit. I quit![pause] Robin: I'm going to art school in Boston. So I can be near you. Steve: Hey Eddie, is it true you committed the perfect crime? Eddie: Not entirely perfect.

Robin: Hey Hopper, I wanna tell Nancy how I feel about her, and I thought you'd be the perfect guy for the job. Hopper: Oh, yeah. My wife left me for a woman and my girlfriend forced me to leave on gunpoint. Does this qualify me? Robin: Yeah, absolutely.

Argyle: This music is the glue of the world, Jonathan. It's what holds it all together. Without this, life would be meaningless. Jonathan: Hey, did you hear about Eddie? Argyle: Hey, Eddie man, I hear you went to Vegas, and you married a mobster's wife, and now you've got a hit on you and stuff. Is that true? Eddie: Not entirely true. Argyle: Well, outlaw man, we salute you. Eddie: Thank you, Argyle. Argyle: No problem.

Joyce: What are you doing later? Hopper: I don't know. I'm either going to jail or hell, I can't decide.

[Hopper is talking to the police about Mike] Hopper: [to Mike] How old are you? Mike: Old enough to kick your butt through your skull and splatter your brains on the wall. Hopper: [to the cops on the phone] Yeah, he's a juvenile.

Hello, friend! How’s everything going for you?

Hello! So far life’s being a pain in the butt 🥲 Art block is hitting real hard (for a long time actually), my school grades are going down, and someone very close to me was placed somewhere for a long while (they are back but I won’t say what happened or where they were as it is their privacy) but Im being hopeful so life will stop kicking me around. I really wanna get back to posting bc I wanna do an art trade with someone (they have messaged me about it but I haven’t been able to get to it. So if you’re reading this then pls forgive me for not getting back to you. I promise once I can I will do the art trade with you ;-;) but I don’t have the inspiration or time to do the art trade. Sorry for the rant anyways I hope life is treating you amazing! :D

[kasarian]

i STILL have nothing to post. sowwy :<

been trying to get my energy back. did you know my university is pleading students to enroll this DECEMBER 20TH. majority of the tri-sem uni students just finished their last plates today. and im sick of hearing about school? the admins just dont want to give us a break and it really kills me inside.

so yes. sorry :'>

i need to kick my own butt soon to finished ALL accumulated owed art. hopefully soon! because I'd really really REALLY love to draw for Myself....

#kas speaks #uni bullshit #i forgot my school rant tag... 😔 #anyway!!! sorry im tired to talk properly to peers bc i dissociate Immediately #i try not to

Missing them :( …

Click read more for tag list and my thoughts!

For those who know me already, HI IM BACK FROM THE DEAD FOR A LITTLE BIT! I missed posting and making art and having fun Creating.

Thanks to Them was a ROLLER COASTER of emotions. I LOVED it and have so much to talk about, but school is kicking me in the butt. By a lot. Someone should’ve warned me about how college is (yes the tik toks and teachers warn kids about college, but it’s really… something else).

I just got procreate, so I wanted to just try some stuff, and Luz came to my mind. I think she’ll collect stuff that reminds her of Eda and King while she’s at the human realm. Also, this girl needs a lot of rest after all that happened. Not just S3, but for everything she’s gone through. Man. Luz has my heart.

Okay I’m going to see Barbie today so I should probably have my misc thoughts on Across the Spiderverse down. (Spoilers incoming) Speaking of:

#1) tiktok spoilers my beloathed. They also don’t do the movie justice (I’ll get back to that)

#2) artistic styles my beloved.

The love and care to the craft of the story is so evident from the start. Gwen’s retelling of Mike’s story is in her universe’s watercolor style. And oh my god it’s so beautiful. I’m such a sucker for pretty watercolors and Gwen’s universe SPEAKS to my soul. Beautiful. Mwuah.

Speaking of Gwen, the analogy of her being trans and coming out is definitely there. While her being trans may not be a problem for her father, her struggle with a secret superhero identity absolutely is a parallel to being a trans kid. Her best friend knowing included. Her running away from home especially.

And it’s beautifully portrayed. And her father’s arc developing at the end, where he says he’s no longer a policeman if it’s gonna be that at odd with her being a hero because he loves her more than that, is the kinda sentiment I and every other trans kid with unsupportive parents wish they had. It’s about growth, it’s about the person being the priority not a stubborn hold to flawed ideology.

#3 Miles my boy, his story is definitely that of loneliness. Which arguably is queer-coded in of itself. He finally finds his people and now they’re separated and he misses that. Especially since the separation is inherently tied to the safety of everyone, sometimes it’s really hard to connect with other queer folk because of that. But i don’t think that’s the intended focus, it’s more of a coming of age thing.

Also holy shit he is YOUNG. He is fifteen!! I was a freshman in highschool when I turned fifteen! No wonder he’s so pissed when everyone is telling him what to do and how to do, that is like the quintessential age of being treated like both an adult and child and it’s infuriating. But it’s the perfect age for this kinda story. Because the very valid attempts of trying to find a happy middle are there, two cakes and all. But it also means it’s still the first few attempts, hence the fate of the two cakes. The technique is still being refined and he’s still figuring out his priorities.

Do what he’s good at (science) and push for something he really wants (his friends back) or something else entirely?

People have pointed out he’s incredibly artistic. And it’s good! Now that doesn’t always means it translates into a career well. From firsthand experience I can tell you art as an outlet isn’t the same as art as a career. It’s kinda kicking my butt with the difference. But that doesn’t mean it’s a very real option! And something he can pursue with science as well.

Adjacent to three: the age discourse. Now I heard plenty on it but I was withholding my judgement until I saw the movie itself. That being said, when I first saw spoilers Hobie read like an adult and after watching the movie he is definitely is in my mind.

The three other spiders (Gwen, Miles, Pravitar) all have a focus of actively being in school in their intros. A highlight that they are still teens dealing with teen issues and mentalities. Hobie doesn’t. Hobie’s intro doesn’t mention school. Hobie’s intro talks a lot about politics and ideologies and he carries himself like an experienced adult. (Obvs teens are into politics and all that, i did that as a teen too, but school often comes before that, just as their own intros mentioned.) He speaks with wisdom and experience and takes the others under his wing. He’s also not deferring to Miguel. And he pushes back in a much different way then Gwen and Miles do. For them, even if they don’t agree Miguel is still an adult and that age authority needs to be respected. For Hobie, it doesn’t seem to be a concern. (Yes yes he’s a punk, but respecting your elders is still prevalent in punk and queer cultures as well.)

“But Integrity the love triangle!” There is no love triangle. Gwen is not interested in Hobie, she’s expressly interested in Miles. Looks up to Hobie sure, but she’s clearly more attached to Miles. Hobie also explicitly states he just wants to look out for her. (Re: queer adults taking in queer runaways)

“But Integrity the toothbrush and jumper! And Pravitar going oooohh!!” First of all, Gwen is functionally homeless. She ran away and has been a runaway for literal months. Her stuff is obviously gonna be a mismanaged. And again, going with the fact that her story is a trans allegory, she’s going to stay with adults that take her in. First Miguel and Jessica, and then Hobie. Reading Hobie as a queer adult taking in a queer runaway child and looking after her makes the most sense to me. She also had an expressed interest in Miles that is very long running.

As for Pravitar? I think he’s just pot stirring. He’s (I think) the youngest and definitely acts like it. He’s openly treating them as a soap opera, not with an malicious intent of course, but it’s entertaining gossip for him. A fun tense twist is the fact that Miles doesn’t know. (Probably because he didn’t recognize miles as the anomaly. Genuinely was introduced that Miles is Gwen’s friend and so it’s wild he doesn’t know her closest friends.)

Also: there’s a chance this is suppose to parallel Gwen meeting Mile’s parents.

Your crush should know about and have met your family. For Mile’s that means meeting his parents. For Gwen that means her family of spiders. (She’s trans, found family is a huge priority here esp since her father is not currently in the picture.)

Anyways: Hobie reads as an adult. Gwen is not in a love triangle. I’m scared of touching ao3 for this fandom, even with filters it’s Bad.

#4 with circling back to how the tiktok spoilers/general fanon don’t do this justice, Miguel. He’s is not that fucking mean to Miles. He is genuinely sympathetic and does try to explain to Miles multiple times what “needs” to be done. His fatal flaw is that he carries so much guilt for what happened in the universe he infiltrated that he now feels the need to carry the weight of everything to make up for it. He says as much! If he could see it possible to have a good story, he’d love that but its just not possible for him.

Now granted, holy shit he does go fucking bonkers on Miles. We see the shock in Peter B’s expression. I do not think that is the norm for Miguel’s behavior. At least, not witnessed behavior and thus not behavior he wants to be seen/is proud of. Dude seems like he’s holding on by a thread and it was snapping a little bit there. And like, idek if I can fault that entirely cuz a literal child just sent him on the chase of a the century. Dude’s stressed and not coping well. Amazingly sympathetic antagonist for this reason. It’s an idealogical divide, a quite radical one at that.

#5) the music is sooooo fucking good. Again, the love put into this movie is so palpable.

#6) The Spot. I adore his character!!! I adore this arc and his art direction and his everything!! And I don’t currently have the words for it but I do feel his story is a good analogy for how society picks and chooses it’s outliers. Spider-Man is a hero and loved for his mutations provided he’s a hero and even then it’s very conditional and on a whim. The Spot isn’t. He can’t get a job looking like that, and super heroism is filled in New York by Spider-Man and it’s hard to exist let alone move around looking like that.

There is no support for him. And that speaks for any outlier of society. Queer, race, neurodivergent, “ugly”, and what have you. It’s only natural he gets upset. He lashes out at the easiest person to blame, the present Spider-Man. Even though it is not Mile’s fault he was in that room or employed there, or any of that. But he was a catalyst, and it’s easier to have the blame one person than a web of circumstances.

And there’s a kinship in a way. He brought the 42 spider here. He was bitten by it. Whether they like or hate each other that’s a helluva link. Call it dominos or butterfly effect or fate or what have you, there’s a link to both of their circumstances.

Speaking of, #6) 42 Miles!!!! I adore him. It seems in this universe the lack of a Spider-Man has caused crime cartels to run more rampant. Possibly supervillain run, but I can see overtime the general crime running rampant under them.

I wanna know this timeline, how this has happened. What was this descent? I’m so excited for Beyond. And obvs 42 Miles is gonna play a huge part. I think he will aid our Miles, even if at first begrudgingly. He’s a scared kid and he and Aaron see that. I hope and think they will take pity on him.

I’m wondering if 42’s arc will parallel our Mile’s. Trying to sort priorities and manage grief and loneliness while writing your own path. I bet it will.

Speaking of Beyond: I hope it takes years to make. Give those artists a break and pay them and give them a reasonably timetable damn it. I also hope for more Hobie he’s a catalyst here and I want to see lots of him and he needs dedicated time to animate to achieve that.

Okay misc thoughts done I gotta get ready fkdndkdndn
