The Fact He Even Had To Ask 🙄

the thing is. The THING is. Uhhhhhhhh. Watching interviews of Andrew where he talks about his spiderman is heartbreaking, sometimes. Because he's trying not to say directly why exactly it was compromised, but you know exactly what he's saying. He says he went into the project thinking he was going to bring something to the character, and that was taken away by the corporate america, that he was too young to have been exposed to that kind of system. Stephen says playing Spider-man was a harmless experience, to which andrew is quick to laugh, "oh yeah it was harmless" he mocks. And Stephen is like oh was it not?? And andrew is like, let's not get to that, Stephen. Its all light, it's all funny, until you know exactly why it wasn't harmless. Andrew just wanted Peter to be free, he wanted Peter to have an MJ who didn't fit the typical standard. He wanted Peter to become more inclusive than ever and put that in the cinema. How powerful would that have been? How beautiful, and eye opening, and a breeze, too. It would have been cool to realise that oh yeah, superheroes are normal people. They can be gay. Spider-man represents all of that, Spider-man is white, skinny, black, a girl, a middle aged man, Spider-man is also a pig, for god's sake. Spider-man could easily be bi, too. But that was too forward for 2014, apparently. And it truly breaks your heart seeing him trying to talk about the injustice that happened to him, the kind of shock it must have been to realise that people- people who are supposed to be perpetuating new ideas and should be a medium to bring awareness- are in fact, downright homophobic. And if not homophobic- let's give them the benefit of doubt- they would definitely not want to take the risk. They will not put their jobs at risk. They would not, in fact, help him make this character reach it's potential. And it's not just about him, it's about so many characters who become wasted potential because of this. Fiction imitates reality a lot of times and it's heartbreaking to realise that so many people in real life also don't reach their full potential because of this system.

And now. NOW I'm so happy he's got to be Peter again. And he's got to throw a peace sign and be a disaster bi. Truly deserves it. Truly phenomenonal and beautiful and makes me wanna jump like a fucking seal and clap and dance and give him all the flowers and say love that for you. Love that for you, Andrew. Love that for all of us, you lovely human being.

COVID is slowly becoming a “third world” disease. While first world countries are hoarding vaccines, having doses for populations many times their size, third world countries can’t get any because pharma companies want to sell to the first world countries first. Even then, first world countries will receive them first. While rich countries recover from COVID, they will forget about the pandemic while many other countries live the absolute worst moment of the pandemic without being able to vaccinate their population.

idk when we decided that explaining yourself shouldn't be part of an apology but like. if someone was a dick to me and apologizes but I still don't understand why they did it I'm not gonna feel any better

crazy question but have u ever drawn yaoi where one is a girl? i forget what's it called tho

HETEROSEXUALITY?

It's gonna be such a funny mess when Donald Trump dies of a stroke on April 1st, 2024.

Naturally everybody will think it's fake because of the date only to lose their minds (both positively and negatively based on their opinion of trump) when realizing it's real

There will be massive celebrations in the streets and on social media and lots of predictable "don't speak ill of the dead" discourse about those celebrations

Weird evangelicals will pull some weird number trick talking about how Jesus was conceived on April 1st and that makes Trump a sort of messiah and people will make fun of that

The Republicans (after they're done with the faux-sadness and faux-outrage) will stomp over each other to be his successor but none of them will succeed. They'll tear each other apart and have no single nominee for the November elections.

There will be discourse about if Biden and the living former presidents should go to his funeral (they won't, he was a traitor insurrectionist)

The Ukraine-Russia War immediately goes in favor of Ukraine as morale in the Kremlin is reduced. China similarly backs off from its threats on Taiwan.

Ten thousand new memes are made, some sticking around for years to come.

Not a month later a bunch of unofficial biographies of Trump hit the bookshelves, many with new details about just how awful he was.
