Ur cool C:
I think another clear theme of Spiderverse is that, as we’re told in the first movie, anyone can be Spider-Man. But in the second movie, Miguel tells us that Spider-Man has rules. Certain things have to happen, certain people have to die, certain people aren’t meant to be Spider-Man. And the message there is that, once someone makes those kinds of rules, you run. Because it’s just not true. Anyone, literally anyone, can be Spider-Man. There is no requirement. We’ve been shown you don’t even need to be bitten by a spider!
And with the amount of people comparing Spiderverse to the queer experience, this is especially important. There are no rules to being queer. There are no labels that are exclusive. There are no labels that are even required. As soon as someone says you can’t be queer in a certain way, or certain identities don’t ‘count’ for whatever reason, you need to run. They are liars. There are no rules, and there never have been. You are queer because you said so, and this is your decision alone.
If you decide you’re Spider-Man, then you’re Spider-Man. And if you decide you’re going to save everyone you can, then you will. It’s as simple as that.
i feel like when they first met pavitr dropped his whole speech like 'being spiderman is so easy. i love my life!! i look awesome and i am awesome!!!!!!!!!' and hobie was like 'sick, man. you should always have confidence in yourself. the establishment encourages self hatred with unrealistic standards to push self improvement products and fund the capital.' and pavitr is like ':D yeah man!!!' having zero idea what he just said.
then they fist bump on it and BOOM! best friendship
no context across the spiderverse spoilers
J.K. Simmons playing J. Jonah Jameson in every timeline has to be one of the funniest running gags ive seen in a movie. anyone can be Spiderman but there can only be one J. Jonah Jameson
SPIDER-MAN: ACROSS THE SPIDER-VERSE - Official Trailer #2. Doctor Strange name dropping.
riddle me thi- oh, wait. wrong comic franchise
rocky horror picture show asks what would happen if frankenstein’s creature knew its purpose from birth. it also asks “what if victor frankenstein did drag and a lot of cocaine” which is a frankly more important question
Just watched Spiderman Across the Spiderverse, and like, I already thought the last one was gorgeous, but I realized within the first five minutes that Across the Spiderverse was the most visually stunning animated movie I have ever seen, period.
The first third of the movie began incredibly strong, but I began to lose interest once we started getting into the big multiversal plot. Spider-Man's always been a character who's most compelling as a hero with a strong moral core, fighting on a smaller scale. More "friendly neighborhood Spiderman" and less big dramatic unrelateable universe-altering superhero guy punching the concept of entropy or whatever.
Except that as we got into the third act, I realized that was part of the point the main conflict of the movie. Like, are you even a hero of you don't choose to save a person who needs help? Does a hero pull the lever on the trolley problem, or does a hero try to stop the trolley?
And it kind of looks like that's the question the third movie is going to tackle, so it pulled me back in by the last third of the movie.
Also, I loved how much it made fun of Ben Reilly and the super overwrought (and weirdly muscley) drama of comic series in the 90s. Absolute banger of a shoutout to the fans of the original comics.
#I once downloaded a zip file of every single Spiderman comic up until the late 90s and spent an entire school summer break reading them#I absolutely do not regret this#Also yaaaay we got Mayday!

What if when we were born we were each assigned a Wikipedia page like a social security number would that be fucked up or what
do you mean a wikipedia page about us? or do you mean some baby is arbitrarily given the rights and responsibilities to update the paramecium article?
ok I did mean a Wikipedia page about us. But keep talking I like where you’re headed
What's your government-assigned Wikipedia page? (No rerolls. I am in charge of "1929 in Wales" now. Not a great year, some bad floods in November.)
enough reclaiming slurs, I think in 2023 we should reclaim nascar. they banned the confederate flag on all properties & their stance on lgbtq+ isn’t just performative bc in 2013 they fined a driver 10k for using a homophobic slur, condemned indiana in a statement for an anti lgbt law, and partnered w carolina’s lgbt+ chamber of conference in 2022. nascar was founded by anti-cop moonshiners/bootleggers who drove suped-up fords to out-run the police. #yaaascar
HELP
To this day, my favorite argument I ever had was with my Nascar-loving family about how a thin blue line flag on a Nascar is antithetical to the core tenets of Nascar. There is no organization more rooted in ACAB than Nascar. Literally, the only reason it exists was that a bunch of moonshining families had to build cars that could outrun the cops while on supply runs during the Prohibition Era. The goal was to make the car look like a regular vehicle so they could pick up supplies or drop off illegal alcohol without arousing suspicion. But if the cops were on you all you had to do was put the pedal to the metal and that little truck could outrun them with no problems. And of course, families would be in competition over who made the best alcohol, and whose car was fastest. So, they would have races on the weekends. When prohibition was lifted, the races continued. And that is why we have Nascar. It really frustrates me how people look at American car culture and scoff at it. Formula One racing is more exciting and more dynamic to watch, but the history of it is not as interesting: a bunch of rich assholes who made specialized cars for racing. And to this day, it is still a rich man's sport. Whereas Nascar was about a bunch of so-called hicks in the backwoods who used some basic hand tools and trial and error to make a junker into a racecar.
I laughed so fucking hard at this
Had a dream last night that involved me taking care of a little girl, and she was worried because her brother had "stolen the f out of the word 'forest' and he had left in the middle of the night to sell it somewhere."
This all seemed completely logical to me, but I was less worried about the brother stealing letters and more worried about the girl going to sleep.
So I invented this entire slow lullaby about how if you stole the f from forest, then what was left was "O Rest."
Then I woke up and did a half-asleep voice recording of the lullaby because I didn't want to forget it. I just listened to the recording and like half the words are complete nonsense. The chorus, where I just repeated "O Rest" really slowly, actually sounded pretty good.

Worst part about this is I've only ever used that yellow square emoji once and it was just to see how it looked. This isn't who I am. However, in retrospect, I suppose it is
Reading through the notes is a surreal experience please keep adding more to fuel my effervescent consumption of non descriptive emojis
