The spiderverse brainrot only worsens so:
- Rio telling Miles “it’s not your life it’s my life and your fathers and your abuelos who put you in this position that I’d give anything to be in” hits home when ur a first gen student from immigrant parents
- Miles’ teenage frustration being so irritating (looking at it from his parents POV), so understandable (from his own POV) And just so “relatable teenager energy” (from my memories of growing up/watching my siblings grow up)
- Miles’ family being his source of strength since the first movie
- Miles only finding the resolve in Into the Spiderverse to take his leap of faith as Spider-Man after his dad shared a very heartfelt message to him through his dorm door which beautifully sets up Miles telling Rio (in earth 42 but still) that he is strong because of his family, it’s always been family
- the queer symbolism of it all, from Miles’ fear in Across the Spiderverse (“I was scared that if I told you, you wouldn’t love me the same”) to back in Into the Spiderverse when he asks his dad if he really does hate Spider-Man after learning he must become the new Spider-Man
- the hints of the Morales’ Latino/Puerto Rican background !!!
- the Spanish! The Spanglish! Rio’s affection toward Miles! “Que dios te bendinga”, the relatives telling Miles how big he’s gotten, the way they say it, love it all
- Miles having a rough time speaking Spanish not only because he spends less time at home, but also because he has no friends to practice with
- Miles admitting he has no friends in his universe besides Ganke, who doesn’t appear to want to be very involved in Mike’s life as Spider-Man. While understandable, I think, it really does further emphasize just how lonely Miles is since he’s lying to his parents and the one person who does know his secret can’t relate to him
- the loneliness being sadder when you think about how easily Miles talks to people and how he seemed to have been more established at his old school
- and finally, rewatching Into the Spiderverse after seeing Across the Spiderverse and thinking about how Miles was just a kid when this all started

I’m really torn with what I want to see happen in the epilogue miniseries…on one hand getting a timeskip and seeing Ash grown up would be really interesting. On the other hand sometimes timeskips are cheesy and if they confirm any Ash-centric ships as canon I will riot. Yes I know I’m all about shipping but HONESTLY I would much rather them leave that aspect of Ash’s life ambiguous;; I really like the idea of Ash’s story arc being a “never-ending journey” kind of thing. So that viewers can just…interpret what happens to him in their own way rather than having it be outright stated. And this kid can go on adventures forever because there’s not a solid ending to his storyline

”I don’t want to give Jehovah’s organization a black eye so I have to suffer in silence. Oh the pain! The pain!”
Mhm. Have you ever considered that Jehovah’s organization has given you not one, but two proverbial black eyes, broken ribs, and a concussion over the years; and maybe you should expose them for the abusers they are, if only enough to get yourself help to heal from the abuse you’ve experienced? You’ve got Stockholm syndrome bad, and you’re making it everyone else’s problem. You cared about your abusers so much that you abused me in their name, just because I wanted no part of their organization. Even if I didn’t seek out apostate resources, I wouldn’t have needed them to make my decision to leave because of how much you vented about them to me since I was about five years old. Did you just expect me to stay here and take the abuse like you did? I’m better than that; I’m better than you.

Do people really not know basic ableist stereotypes/“jokes.” Why are so many people surprised that MirandaSings is an ableist caricature, I thought that was the entire joke?
The constant focus on Miranda being gross, the focus on her making weird faces and “strange” movements, her inability to recognize social boundaries, her not fully understanding sex and relationships beyond how they’re portrayed in media, constant CSA jokes about her not realizing her uncle is a grooming her… like her character is just a horrible ableist “joke” wtf were other people interpreting it as???
EDIT: I want to be clear that I don’t really judge ppl for not recognizing this, esp if you were a kid when you watched her, but I genuinely can’t process what else is the funny part of the character. Like what is the joke besides her just… being disabled and mean lol

wiwi whats ur favorite horror movie? or genre of horror?
Well, I don’t tend to watch horror movies all that often. They remind me too much of Deadwood, even if Deadwood has sorta desensitized me to some of the more fucked up things in horror.
I guess I like psychological horror, and my life already feels like a survival horror game half the time if that counts.
Not sure if this is a horror movie, but I like the Nightmare Before Christmas. Halloween AND Christmas? I’m pretty sure that’s better than prom night but I never got to go to prom so what do I know.

I’ve seen quite a few things about not being a big fan of Mistborn era 2. Idk if it’s just from focusing more on the characters and the humor and less on the plot and stuff but I actually like it quite a bit. Like it’s not my favorite cosmere books ever but it’s definitely up there.

Did anyone have specific cable tv shows they watched with their parents? I just remember Monday being Heroes day and Wednesday being Ghost Hunters day growing up. I miss the simplicity of life.

Just put a little Splenda in my hotel chamomile tea and it took me back to that affection~filled feeling of watching and listening to bench boy enthusiastically explain “it’s just chlorinated sugar!”
God was he cute as he did so. Especially the second time, not realizing he’d already told us this information months prior (but was I about to tell him and dim his sparkle as he told us again so earnestly? Absolutely not)
