Nope now itās at the point that iām shocked that people off tt donāt know whatās going down. I have no reach but iāll sum it up anyway.
SCOTUS is hearing on the constitutionality of the ban as tiktok and creators are arguing that it is a violation of our first amendment rights to free speech, freedom of the press and freedom to assemble.
SCOTUS: tiktok bad, big security concern because china bad!
Tiktok lawyers: if china is such a concern why are you singling us out? Why not SHEIN or temu which collect far more information and are less transparent with their users?
SCOTUS (out loud): well you see we donāt like how users are communicating with each other, itās making them more anti-american and china could disseminate pro china propaganda (get it? They literally said they do not like how we Speak or how we Assemble. Independent journalists reach their audience on tt meaning they have Press they want to suppress)
Tiktok users: this is fucking bullshit i donāt want to lose this community what should we do? We donāt want to go to meta or x because they both lobbied congress to ban tiktok (free market capitalism amirite? Paying off your local congressmen to suppress the competition is totally what the free market is about) but nothing else is like TikTok
A few users: what about xiaohongshu? Itās the Chinese version of tiktok (not quite, douyin is the chinese tiktok but itās primarily for younger users so xiaohongshu was chosen)
16 hours later:
Tiktok as a community has chosen to collectively migrate TO a chinese owned app that is purely in Chinese out of utter spite and contempt for meta/x and the gov that is backing them.
My fyp is a mix of āi would rather mail memes to my friends than ever return to instagram reelsā and āi will xerox my data to xi jinping myself i do not care i share my ss# with 5 other people anywayā and āim just getting ready for my day with my chinese made coffee maker and my Chinese made blowdryer and my chinese made clothing and listening to a podcast on my chinese made phone and get in my car running on chinese manufactured microchips but logging into a chinese social media? Too much for our gov!ā etc.
So the government was scared that tiktok was creating a sense of class consciousness and tried to kill it but by doing so they sent us all to xiaohongshu. And now? Oh itās adorable seeing this gov-manufactured divide be crossed in such a way.
This is adorable and so not what they were expecting. Im sure they were expecting a reluctant return to reels and shorts to fill the void but tiktokers said fuck that, we will forge connections across the world. Who you tell me is my enemy i will make my friend. Thatās pretty damn cool.
Multimedia Morbs Headcanons #5:
@scrimbydimby asks:
Q1) āHow do they feel about their significant others? If they don't have one (in the case of Cartoon Ultimate) what would their ideal be?ā
TAS: Felicia was one of the first people to actually treat him like a person at school and not some foreign weirdo. He was so heartbroken to think he scared her during those first few nights after his accident, but then after she got over the shock, she still tried to help him! And even after his little hibernation stint in that remote cave on that island, when he woke she still loved him and came back to him!! Obviously nothing can or ever will come between them (she never mentioned her partnership with Spider-Man as Black Cat or that she was going out with Peter when they first met; and thank god he never put together that Peter Parker was Spider-Manā¦).
Ultimate: Love Shmove! W-what does he need that for? (Stuttering in 40-year-old virgin..) Love would just be a distraction from the real important things in life: like science, and promotions, and (gaining his fatherās respect/loveā¦); B-but, if he had to describe an ideal partner: just as smart as he is, affectionate, appealing to look at⦠maybe a blonde? (Notice how he never specified genderā¦)
616: Oof⦠yeah, heās not currently seeing anyone⦠(And maybe heās just not ready to?). Things didnāt end well with Martine (he screwed up, she screwed up, they both kind of screwed up together?), and itās not like he didnāt try to date again (the 90s through 2010s just werenāt his decades). Not to mention his old childhood crush/friend Elizabeth showing up; and that really was the point at which he realized he might need to work on himself first. Yeah, so for right now heās just content to platonically be āLab Partnersā with The Lizard for now. (This doesnāt give Blood ties much hope (also, since when did Nikos have a younger sister?); Midnight Son absolutely ships him and the lizard, and is rooting for them to discover their feelings for each other!)
Blood ties: He still misses his fiancĆ©e Martine, and as soon as heās done helping Amanda, heās going right back to searching for her! Sheās got to still be out there! Surely she doesnāt hate him? Surely she wonāt think heās a monster, right? Oh, who is he kidding⦠(heās a moppy mess and 616 is hesitant to tell him how close he probably is to being reunited, mostly because he remembers it barely lasting, but also because their paths have long since diverged and it might not actually happenā¦)
Midnight Son: The Hunter is nice, theyāre not really a thing together or anything, but⦠W-well! Man or Woman, theyāve always been kind to him and tried to include him in stuff going on at the manor⦠And and! They took interest in what he had to say, even outside of midnight suns stuff! And, just⦠yeah they make his heart flutter (Ultimate cynically thinks he should get that checked outā¦)
Wii game: He loves his wife, absolutely forgives her for the whole symbiote thing and turning him into a monster (obviously they both got better, you know?); just an absolute Wife-guy! (Everyone is shocked for quite a few reasons: 1) what do you mean āwifeā? (none of them got past āfiancĆ©eā without something bad happening), 2) what do you mean āyou got betterā? (None of them ever managed to get completely cured or stay that way for long), and 3)who the fuck are you?)
Movie: Well, he and Martine werenāt quite together yet⦠He liked her a lot, she was a good nurse and a good friend, but he just hadnāt gotten around to asking her out or anything. There just always seemed to be something in the way at the time, like patients or research or something⦠And a first date always felt like it might be awkward, cause like, sheās literally seen him in his worst condition and literally counted his vertebrae! He already felt unofficially close to her, so he just never made a move⦠and now sheās gone (and it was his fault!), so⦠whatās the point now? (616 isnāt sure how to tell him that Martine might not actually be dead currently; and boy does he know that thatās not automatically a good thingā¦)
Q2) āHow do they feel about their Spider-Man? If they don't have one (Movie Morbius) how do they feel about their antagonist?ā
TAS: Honestly, Spider-man meant well and he (Michael) was being a bit of jerk/terror to others during those first few nights, however he still didnāt appreciate getting punched a couple timesā¦Howevere, if he was going to be upset with anyone, it would be that little jerk Parker for whatever the fuck was in that āblood sampleā that he was going to use to cheat in Dr.Connorās class with (aināt no way and no how that he made that stuff himself!)
Ultimate: heās not scared of Spider-Man⦠who said anything about that? Itās not like that guy can fold Octavius in half and regularly punches symbiotes in the face⦠Or that he may or may not have accidentally targeted some high school girl that meant something to that red and blue menaceā¦
616: *sigh* Heās tired of dealing with Spider-Man, itās too much of a hot and cold relationship, really. Some days Spidey gets it: that he doesnāt want to do any of the things his hunger urges him to do and that he just needs a little assistance to snap out of it⦠and then on other days, Spider-Man will snap: basically use him as a punching bag! He gets that sometimes his hunger can make him a threat, but the amount of times heās been sent through multiple walls? when itās not even his fault? itās too many! itās almost hypocriticalā¦
Blood ties: meh, they had a rocky start, but he doesnāt really interact with that guy all that much anymore? If anything he just hasnāt had time to think about Spider-Man or that part of his life very much latelyā¦
Midnight Son: ehh, the young man (and he can tell that his Spider-Man is still young) is a good enough teammate. Between him and Blade missions are less awkward than with any other combination of heroes⦠(maybe itās out of familiarity?).
Movie: He⦠hesitates to call Mil- No, Lucien, his antagonist. They were like brothers, and-and Lucien had good reason to be upset when he tried to withhold the āCureā from him, and most of the irrational behavior wasnāt actually him talking, but⦠He tried to warn Milo about the side effects, so whyā¦? Why didnāt he listen to him? Why didnāt he trust him when he said it wasnāt worth it? Everything he ever did, he did it for both of them! He wanted to find a better way to do that, but now thereās NO POINT! Now, itās too late: heās dead! Dead because I loved him! Dead because he thought I no longer caredā¦
Bonus Question:
BQ1) What do they think of Dracula?
TAS: Which one? Historical Dracula, or his great great grand-something-or-other thatās still running walaicha? Or are we talking about Movie Dracula? Because Bella Lugosi will always be the classical version, but personally, he liked Cristopher Lee betterā¦
Ultimate: it was a good book, very modern for its time, really enjoyed the cowboy!
616: Dracula should go gargle two 2-inch balls of garlic-salt! And that stupid looking suit of blood-red armor is just tacky! Why, He even wishes he could go back in time to when he still thought Dracula was just a fictional character!!
1610: Yeah! his older brother suuuucksā¦! (yep, even more than the average vampire already doesā¦) And you know what, if he could, he would absolutely take a stake to him himself!
Blood ties: Umm, isnāt Dracula just a fictional character? Also is anyone going to address that last guyās answer? (Who was that anyway?)
Midnight Son: Dracula sucks, Period. Heās a research stealing, forethought lacking, Hack of a leader! And he deserves every splinter he gets each time Blade or some other vampire hunter drives a stake into his dried up husk of a heart!!
Movie: Hmmm, actually Copulaās Dracula is the best (sorry TASā¦); wait, why is everyone else implying that Dracula is a real actual person in their universe?
Even though todayās discussion questions have been answered, many more have been raised: Who are these extra Morbs? How long have there been other cell blocks on either side of theirs? And who, or what, might be in them?
Does anyone else have Questions?
Where is this?
Pardon?
What do they do if they found a lost child?
TAS: is nervous, looks around for the adult who was with the child, when he canāt find them then he tries to engage with the child. Depending on how upset the child is he would speak softly (At a certain volumes kids either find his accent silly or intimidating) or try to cheer them up with a silly face (he knows he looks weird and is banking on the kid not being off put by him if he casts the weirdness in a silly light) to gain their trust before asking whatās wrong. If he can get a description of the adult they were with, or maybe directions to someplace the child feels safe, he would scoop them up (holds little kids close to him, or lets the more adventurous ride on his shoulders) and fly them to that person/place. Once he finds it/them, he will set the child down a little ways away ( if a person) or on the doorstep (if a place) and then watch from afar until he knows that theyāre safe. Then he breathes a sigh of relief and gets the heck out of dodge.
Ultimate: upon noticing an unaccompanied child, contemplates having a free snack. Ehh, thereās not much life force in something so small and the aftermath would be too much of a hassle, so heāll keep on walking. Heād walk right past the distressed child, look directly into their little tear stained face, and keep walking. Heād continue walking away until what little sympathy he has finally starts to gnaw at him. Heāll stop, consider his options, and then find a payphone (of course he has his own work phone, but he isnāt going to use that to call the cops). Heād give 911 a brief anonymous description of what he saw and where he saw it, and then leave. Whatever happens next isnāt his problem anymore.
616: would be out on a late night run to the blood bank and already hangry. Spotting a lone child would definitely tip off his Prey drive, making him tense up and watch the child closely. Intently. Hungrily⦠until something breaks his line of sight on the child and he snaps out of it. Ashamed of what he was doing, heād crawl up a building trying to put as much distance between him and the child as he can. And then heād sit up there for a moment, all full of self loathing, until he really thinks about what he saw. There is a child in need down there, and they are all alone. There are absolutely worse things than him out here tonight, so heād circle back to where he saw the child. Heād Panic a bit until he could see them, and then start to think of a way to get help for them without going down there (feels like he canāt trust himself with the child and also doesnāt want to frighten them). Ends up spending the whole night keeping an eye on the child from afar as they wander around until he can flag down a superhero (heās hoping for dr.strange or daredevil, just anyone but Spider-Man; spidey doesnāt always hear him out, and usually ends up beating the shit out of him). No one ever comes their way, and he never does complete his blood-run, but at least he keeps the child safe until morning when they are found asleep by a police officer.
Blood ties: steps out one night to look for a drink while Amanda is asleep, doesnāt plan on being out for very long (hasnāt confided in Amanda yet, he doesnāt really want to scare her). He barely gets 10 feet away from where theyāre staying before he finds an unattended child wandering around. The area is rough and seedy, so he has no illusions about what could happen to a child all alone. He decides to stuff his hunger deep down deep and try approaching the child as non threateningly as possible⦠it doesnāt really work well. In fact he ends up scaring the child into the path of something even worse than him. He manages to get the child away from the threat, but they have to make a run for it. He scoops up the child and flees back to where he and Amanda are staying, unfortunately bringing the threat with them. He has to wake her up to take care of the child while he goes back out to brutally beat the shit out of the bad guy/monster (hopefully where the kid wonāt see it). In the morning Amanda takes the child to the police station while Michael gets some rest (sheās so going to chew him out later, though).
Midnight Son: is out on a mission with some teammates (maybe captain America and blade?, any combo really) When he thinks he hears something in a suspicious pile of rubble. He checks the deck, thereās an Echolocation card available, which he uses to find a child hiding from bad guys underneath. He knows that heās not the best with children, but he canāt seem to pull any of his teammatesā cards to ask for a teamup. Guess this means he has to help the child himself. He tries moving the rubble With a Claw card, but that just makes the debris unstable. Judging from the outside he figures he might fit underneath if he had Mist Form in his hand⦠unfortunately a quick glance shows that he currently doesnāt have one of those ready to play. Honestly itās so frustrating when you donāt have the right cards available! It wouldnāt be such a problem if he could just get the child to come out on their own, right? Unfortunately, he can tell that theyāre scared; and of course, why shouldnāt they be? There are demons and hydra soldiers and vampires out here, all things that little children should definitely be afraid of. So the question is, how can he coax the child into coming out? A quick look at his hand provides the answer: a Charm card is playable. One use and the child timidly shimmies their own way out from their hiding spot, just in time for the rubble finally collapses inward. Together they look at it in stunned silence. The child clings tightly to him as he takes them back to the drop off area where he started the mission. Thankfully his teammates are already waiting for them; they must have finished the mission without him. However, upon hearing what happened, they both agree that he did the right thing by sticking back to help the child. Together they take the child back to the abbey for the night. In the morning theyāll get the authorities involved, but for now this child is going to meet all the superheroes they could ever dream of!
Movie: He finds a child all by themself on the street at night and theyāre already crying their eyes out. After checking to see if thereās any adults nearby looking for them, he steps in to try and calm them down. Peekaboo doesnāt work (the kid is scared of his face trick), jokes donāt work (the kid is too young for Morbinā Time jokes, which arenāt really that funny when he thinks about it), and in fact none of his usual bedside tricks seem to do the job. But there is still one thing he could try: very softly, he starts to sing. The waterworks immediately dry up to just a sniffle. Unfortunately, whenever he stops singing they start to tear up again, so he canāt really ask them any questions. Itās fine though, the child is pacified enough that he can look for a safe place to bring them on his own. He just hopes doesnāt run out of songs before that happens.
Ok, so I donāt know if itās common knowledge, but morbiusās first costume is the insulation layer of his electro therapy suit, right? Itās medical grade, he wasnāt planning on using it for anything else, just for this treatmentā¦
Ok, knowing this, where did his little wingies/capelet come from then?
Like how were they a part of the original design of this article of clothing? Were they an original part the suit?
Because they arenāt a result of damage; they were there from the very beginning and arenāt shown to be ragged for a very long. And despite how often they used to disappear, they arenāt explicitly organic wings either; in shots from behind, the wingies are the same main color as his body suit and theyāre only seen when he has this style of costume too. But thereās not really space for them inside the white outer layer either; cause theyāre directly in the armpit and the white layer, while a little baggy, is still pretty form fitting. And they arenāt really a cape yet either, theyāre just under the arm membranes; (the cape interpretation comes later).
Like, I get why theyāre there in a meta sense: bat wings cause vampire, breaks up the overall black/navy bodysuit, harkens back to spideyās original underarm web-wingies, and visually explains how he flies/glides(?).
But just what are they in universe?
Do you like Ceramic art? Do you like bats? if so, well do I occasionally have a treat for you! Transmasc, y2k vintage, Art major; nice to meet you!
