HAPPY BIRTHDAY USAGI!
Truly a day to celebrate.
reblogging SPECIFICALLY for the End Note which is widely applicable
alright so during into the spider-verse's introduction to peter b. parker, we see his wedding, and he stomps on the wine glass right? this is a jewish wedding tradition, which makes this version of peter parker jewish (further confirmed in interviews -- however, i believe this is enough by itself). it's a nice nod to the jewish roots of the character.
we get to see a bunch of peter parkers throughout the spider-verse films, and none of them have any explicit religious associations like peter b. parker. except for one!
here we have gwen stacy's peter parker and aunt may, from earth-65, saying grace over a meal. from my understanding, this is generally a christian practice -- in judaism, we prefer to say short prayers before eating, and save the long, in-depth ones for afterwards. so to me, this was a clear example of the character being coded as christian. i was a little disappointed that they didn't make peter parker jewish here too, but since across the spider-verse discusses variants and the differences between instances of the same person between different universes, i interpreted this as a continued commentary on peter parker's ethnicity -- although he was initially jewish-coded and one of his two creators, stan lee, is jewish, this is often erased, especially in more modern interpretations of the character.
and then i remembered that this peter parker also literally turns into the lizard.
and y'know what? good call on that one guys.
YOU THINK I’M JOKING BUT I’M DEAD SERIOUS

That cat is absolutely an orphan-generating coal baron. The mustache and top-hat are there in spirit, if not actually.
So I am treating myself to a day at Dashcon. Thing is I can only go one day and both Friday/Saturday have really cool things planned. Which day should I go? Please help me out.
Saturday has a ball pit and meet-ups soooooooo. ;D
Keying/graffiti-ing someones car is old news now if someone cheats we go at their wardrobe with a seam ripper

My mother did this to my father once. They got into an argument, my very pregnant and hormonal mother stormed off…except they lived in a tiny apartment so the only place to go was to shut herself into the closet for a good long sulk. And while she was sitting in there, fuming, she looked up and saw her sewing kit on the shelf, and all my father’s uniforms hanging right there.
So she picked one shirt and one pair of trousers, carefully, methodically ripped every third stitch out of every seam, and then hung them back up together so that he would be likely to pick them at the same time. This took her a couple hours, so by the time she was done, the anger had worn down. She came out, she and my father had a talk that ended in apologies, after which they were tired and went to bed. My mother swears up and down that she meant to warn my father about the sabotaged clothes in the morning, but he wore a different uniform set and they were both still feeling a little raw, so she didn’t want to bring up the fight again. She decided to tell him that night instead.
And then she forgot.
Anyway, about four days later, my father apparently came home roughly an hour after he left for work, his clothes slowly, gently shredding off his body, the most bewildered expression on his face. “Paula,” he said, his voice mildly shell-shocked. “Paula, my clothes are broken.”
My mother promptly burst out laughing so hard that she went into labor. And that’s the story of my birth, heralded by petty vengeance and utter confusion.
This rapid slide from attempted machismo to sweet tender feelings is what happened to the show, too.
I feel cheated. no one on Reddit told me that tumblr is a serotonin factory. Keep liking and reblogging my posts please thanks
Just don't fly too close to the sun.
Throw me to the sun and I’ll get it pregnant
Fellas (gender neutral), you heard him. Ready the catapults.
Use a trebuchet you casual
so it's been about a week since i've moved from reddit to this god forsaken hell hole (tumblr) and like
i love it
i'm not going back to reddit
my RtT (redditor to tumblrina) transition is complete
i never thought i would say this but this social media (if you can call tumblr one) is actually doing wonders for my mental health
no more doom scrolling
actually interacting with humans that are just as weird as me (feel free to talk to me)
not being afraid of being myself
yeah...
i'm home.
Literally me, content doesn't update fast enough on this app for me to doomscroll so I actually take breaks
I also feel like I'm interacting with actual people on here, and the posts I make are seen by actual people, vs submitting memes to a faceless void and being regurgitated an infinite stream of images
Also this entire platform being queer friendly makes me not feel attacked while browsing outside of my corner of the website
Also me and all my mutuals being a little friend group is fun, love y'all :3
I still don’t get this whole “interacting with actual people” thing. I still, just like with any other site I’ve used, still just feel like I’m shouting into a void. Nothing about this site feels any different.
i dunno, i think the fact the main way of interacting with a post is to reblog it with - most of the time - your own little take, while seeing other people you follow doing the same with their little takes on stuff they love just feels more social? like, on reddit, most of the time (at least for me) i would upvote something and move on. maybe comment. almost never dm/directly interact with anyone
maybe is just a change of perspective/fresh start for me that it feels like that?
Tumblr just feels a lot more personal, like I feel like that my posts are actually tied to me as a person. I could post anything on reddit and no matter what it was nobody would care about it in 15 minutes, but it's different on Tumblr. My first post from over a week ago is still getting comments and reblogs, I've gotten DMS from people I've never met talking to me and it's been so wonderful. It feels less like an endless void and more like a busy convention center. Yeah there's a shit load of people here, but each one of them is their own unique person that has their own personality, interests, and quirks. It's a lot easier to interact with real people than a silent wall of shitty pngs. Tumblr has honestly made it easier to interact with people irl too. There's been a positive feedback loop, which is something reddit made me feel like was impossible. Tumblr is just so much nicer to me than reddit ever was or could be, and that's something I think is wonderful. In the words of OP, I'm home
in 7 years its going to be the 20s again so we can bring back swing music and the aesthetics of that era but keep modern values who’s with me

you can’t repeat the past
can’t repeat the past? why, of course you can! of course you can.
date of origin: 19th of may, 2013.
this is my post. do you know how it feels to have this be your post? do you understand the guilt i have to live with knowing this is my post? the weight on my soul as the decade popped into prominence with spanish flu … 2 !
do you know how it feels, heritageposts? are any of these heritage posts your own or are you just a curator of human misery? do you know how it feels to live knowing that of anything i’ve ever made, anything i’ve ever said, this has been seen by most people, and this will probably remain the case until i die? for this to be my legacy? can you relate? can you empathize?
but do you want to know the worst part? the absolute worst part of all of this?
we haven’t even brought back art deco into mainstream prominence. sickening
I'm pretty on board with the headcanon that what Link gets out of being the bearer of the Triforce of Courage is the power of being a video game protagonist, but I genuinely can't decide whether it would be funnier if he's 100% aware of how much bullshit his everything is, or if he honestly doesn't realise.
Like, does he know that normal people can't recover from life-threatening wounds in a matter of minutes by drinking a jar of really good soup? It's the sort of thing you'd assume would be obvious just from being around other human beings, and yet.
The fact that Breath of the Wild Link's laser-parrying trick is something that only works for him is made explicit in the dialogue, so presumably he's at least aware that it's exceptional, but does he understand that it's complete bullshit, or does he think it's just a skill issue?
Link: No, that's fair, if I fuck up the timing I have to eat a laser to the chest and that is, understandably, extremely painful, so I don't recommend you practice this unless you're really confident about your timing.
Random Guard:...Link people die if they take those to the chest.
Link: I mean you should be angling yourself, i'm not saying to just let your sternum take a whole blow, to just take it square, that's a terrible idea
Random Guard: It explodes rocks.
Link: You have armor for a reason my guy.
Random Guard: ...
Link: If it helps, drinking some fire resist potions has proven to be moderately effective for me.
Random Guard: The Ones you apply to your skin?
Link: What
Random Guard: What
