I hear your “BNHA Class 1A kids buy each other’s merch” and raise you “BNHA Class 1A kids buy each other’s shitty knock-off merch that you find in a sketchy mall kiosk”
Like “Deku has a Todoroki sweater” okay, cute, whatever. But what about “Deku has a shitty plastic see-through backpack (ages 5-9) with the most uncanny valley palette-swapped approximation-of-Todoroki vinyl printed on the back with the caption The Ice and Fire Hero!”
Kirishima receives a package one day and he nearly hops from the couch with excitement because Finally, I ordered that like a month ago! and he pulls out this badly-painted wall-eyed orange-spiky-haired action figure with “real palm explosion action!” and he doesn’t even get to enjoy it before its namesake starts chasing Kirishima around with screaming murderous rage.
Tsuyu walks into the dorm common room one day with a sweatshirt that says, in English, “that season which!! of rain!! hero froggy!!” and a little frog wearing her goggles sewn on the front. The kids tell her “oh I didn’t know you started a merch line!” Tsuyu did not. It came drop-shipped from some site that was almost definitely all malware.
Deku owns a ton of bootleg All Might merch just. Unironically. “My boy we sent a Cease and Desist to that company 10 years ago how did you get that shirt?” “Ebay. Bidding War.” “?” “It got bloody.”

THE MALARIA VACCINE GOT APPROVED BY THE WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION TODAY OH MY GOD THIS IS LITERALLY ONE HUNDRED YEARS OF RESEARCH.
*THIS* IS WHAT BEING HUMAN IS ABOUT.
Guys they mean today as in TODAY today!! October 7th, 2021!!
“The vaccine… is not just a first for malaria — it is the first developed for any parasitic disease. Parasites are much more complex than viruses or bacteria, and the quest for a malaria vaccine has been underway for 100 years.” (NYT)

that late 90s-early 2000s trend of loosely adapting literary classics into teen romcoms was the BACKBONE of our culture and society and we need to make it a thing again

One thing I really appreciate about Into the Spider-Verse that I don’t see people talk about very often is how competent they portray Peter B as.
Like, in any other movie, you’d have a similar character whose live has become a mess, and they’re sad and kinda pathetic to look at, and when the time comes for them to step up, they just sorta…flop. They’re held back by everything, and they just become incompetent.
But Peter B is different. Yeah, he’s a sad, lonely, middle-aged man who cries in the shower while wearing a spandex suit…

But despite all that…he’s still shown to be extremely good at being Spider-Man.
He escapes from being tied up while still holding a casual conversation

He takes down Miles in less than 10 seconds.

He strolls along the side of a building like it’s nothing.

And when you think about it, over the course of the movie, he kicks a LOT of ass. He’s a badass super hero, despite his flaws.
You ever notice how, when he puts on the mask, his gut sorta disappears? That’s too big of a detail to be an oversight. That’s intentional. I mean, in-universe, it doesn’t make too much sense, but to us, it’s meant to show that it’s not holding him back from being a hero.
He’s not held down by everything. Yeah, he’s a jaded, depressed, mid-life crisis Spider-Man. But he’s still Spider-Man.

They easily could’ve made Peter B sort of pathetic and had him be more of a hinderance than a help during battles. But they didn’t. And I feel like that was a really good way to pay respect to the character while still showing that he’s a heavily flawed individual.
As @lyricwritesprose has pointed out, Peter B. is really really good at being Spider-Man and really, really crap at being Peter B. Parker.

This.
This is why people who stay in my life are neurodiverse like me!
Huh
this!! I swear I lost like all my friendships bc of this, like I had a group of friends in hs that one day I realized “huh I haven’t talked to this people in a while” and popped in to say hi and they were all awkward?? because they hadn’t seen me in a while?? and that’s when I realized that friendship works different for them?? I was like yeah I haven’t talked to you in like four months but it’s not like I’ve forgotten about y'all why would anything change, and they were all like we haven’t talked to you in four months why are you here again acting like nothing happened? and it was really confusing for me
YEAH! THAT!
Also I have a thing where I just put the people on pause. If I don’t see them or contact them, my brain kinda put them in stasis. I don’t think about them nor misses them, and I stay on what I last knew about them (how they look, what they study/work). So when we meet again I’m like “wait, you’ve aged?” and I have the same familiarity with them thanI had before.
Anyway all my mutuals I haven’t messaged in forever - this is why
oh my gods this makes so much sense??? there are people who i haven’t talked to at all for literally over a year and we’ll pick up like nothing happened, but for their people it’s just like…… falling apart but onesided???? i think we’re still on the same level but actually we’re strangers??
Ohhhhhh
OHHHHHHHHH….
Ok but listen, on the other side of this, as a person who moved hundreds of miles away from everyone i knew and then became a hermit for several years, it was SUCH A FUCKING RELIEF to get in contact with an old friend and have him be like, “my friendship levels do not degrade, so in my mind we are still awesome close buddies” and i almost fkn cried. I thought he would be mad or would have moved on because i had slacked on my reaching out to him and staying in touch and doing all the friendship things. But NOPE. 800 miles of distance, depression, and life changing circumstances didnt steal our friendship and i am SO GRATEFUL.

why are people so against negative character development? characters don’t need to improve and become better people they can get worse and make mistakes and end up in a worse state than when they began and it’s just as interesting and entertaining as characters developing positively
