Keep my heart so we may live forever…

Bleach may be a clownfiesta but something that stuck with me was Kaien’s teaching about how it is important to live with kindness and joy towards others. Even though our bodies inevitably die and decompose, if many people remember you fondly then your spirit stays alive through them. I think this is a very comforting and humbling way to think about our mortality. Instead of wishing to live many years (which is out of my control), I’d like to try and live with a big heart instead (which I can do!). A few years with great happiness and many fun memories to be remembered by is better than a hundred years spent lonely and forgotten. Thanks Tite Kubo, for the wisdom.

the entire message of this multiverse trilogy is that in this story, the lonely spidey doesn't have to be lonely

Pav was not alone in facing his first big threat because the spideys who were there didn't want him to be alone. And when they manage to actually save everyone (because multiple spideys were sharing the load), the entire city cheers. Imagine how Gwen felt, knowing how she's perceived in her own universe. Even for the other spideys, that must've been a novel experience--you just don't get uncontested gratitude when you're one person and you can't save everyone.

there's community to be found in the culture you grew up in & the people you meet during common-goal acts of heroism (solutions that wouldn't have worked for a lone hero works when there are three spideys trying to stop a helicopter)

look at peter b parker, he was lonely as fuck but mentoring miles changed him, he's not alone anymore

the classic spidey narrative is important because sometimes it is just you bearing the weight of the world--no one can lessen your grief for you, and no one else can take your leap of faith for you

but there's something special about spideys getting understanding and community in miles's story, it's such a nice thing to happen to these isolated heroes, and the joy thereof is infectious

If you are a minor, you should not be publicly posting anything adult-themed.

If you are a minor, you should not be publicly admitting you create adult-themed media.

If you are a minor, you should not be seeking out other minors who do the same thing.

Keep in mind that legally you are still a child. By actively contributing adult content on a site that adults frequent, and if you interact with them with their content, they can get in trouble. This is why MANY of us who create smut or other adult content have a DNI on our blogs. We should not be held liable for your actions.

Furthermore, you are opening a door for predators to interact and even worse, track you.

Please be smart, keep it private, and wait until you're legally old enough to post.

bro i luv spider-punk but i specifically wanna talk about his hair

he. has. wicks!!!!

the origin of wick dreadlocks is florida usa, and are named due to the resemblance to a "candle wick" because of how they stick straight up and/or out!

now, wicks have a bad reputation even within the loc community.

its already known that like if you got dreads, generally, ppl think u are unkempt, and dirty, and things of that nature, but there is even more discrimination against wicks its unreal. like legit yall i cant even begin to explain the nasty shit ppl say about them because i will be sad.

its kinda just considered the "crazy Florida man hairstyle". and a lot of the hate is due to the fact that wicks, appear "unkempt" or things of that nature

there has been a lot of texturism in the loc community which has brought with it the idea that dreads need to be retwisted to be "properly" taken care of, and need to be flat on your head and all these other things that often bring with it the need to hide your natural hair. i get unsolicited advice on my hair all the time telling me "i need a retwist" because of the belief that black hair needs to be all tidy and stuff to be respected.

but the thing is, dreads aren't meant to be all neat and tidy all the time y'know. its black hair in one of its most natural forms. and who better to showcase that than hobie brown, spider punk?

wicks kinda go against everything that dreads are "supposed" to be and "supposed" to look like.

i just love everything about this movie but i especially wanted to like talk about this hair choice. hair most def has meaning, especially black hair, so i think this was a really cool and fitting design choice for his character and everything he represents.

(i did my best to like articulate my thoughts but hopefully this makes at least a bit a sense)

Hope this will make your day brighter during your darkest days.
