Not the spiderverse art book restarting the dying down Hobie age discourse. With the Japanese version implying he’s a ‘young boy’(I think that’s what it was either way either way) and the book saying ‘he’s much older than miles..’(smth like that either way either way) and it’s like seriously? Again? AGAIN?
The directors said it’s up to interpretation. And the only reason(w/ the exclusion of the people thinking he’s like 30 cause that’s weird and gross, re-examine some racial biases)that people are so adamant he is or isn’t a minor is because of shipping! Whether it’s with one of the spider teens or with OCs or justifying self shipping it’s weird! It’s weird that that’s the reason people are going nuts over this shit and dying on their respective hills. And let people have their HCs holyshit.
And to reiterate: it’s not proshipping/pedoshit if someone HCs Hobie as a teen and ships them with one of the spider teens. It’s not necessarily fetishization and is not pedoshit if people HC him as a young adult and do self ships or whatever else goes on there.
It’s fandom let people fuck around. Something doesn’t have to be justified as morally wrong for you not to like it. Stop trying to force your own Head Canons, key word HEAD as in the canon in your head, onto other people.
Sorry for the rant I just cannot believe it’s still going.

I have so many drafts I want to reply to but I've been relaxing hard. But also! I'm going back to working from home for a couple months again soon. Big things planned 😤

I've wanted to go interrailing for ages but ooft sounds like it can take its toll a bit... Where are you still going? Shame about not being able to drink, one of my favourite things about travelling round Europe is finding new and weird drinks but I get your pals stress I think...
hiya! our trip is berlin-vienna-venice-rome-annecy-paris, and we’re currently in rome. despite everything i think i would definitely recommend it, in most places we’ve had a good time!! venice has been my favourite so far, it was amazing and so so pretty. it’s the only spot so far where i’ve really missed it and i definitely want to go back some day.
the main issue has been the heat, because we managed to go in the middle of a record-breaking heatwave and i am from the north of england, a spot known for being cloudy and mildly drizzly ninety percent of the year. to say i was unprepared was an understatement.
also accommodation - we went for the cheapest accommodation options, which frequently meant mildly dodgy private rooms miles away from anywhere we wanted to be. if i was to go again i’d definitely book earlier and choose to stay in more hostels, because the price difference is minuscule in most cases and hostels seem to be better organised and i think there’s more chances to meet new people??
