I can’t believe I waited so long to watch the show From. F*cking phenomenal
It’s so good, it always has me on the edge of my seat 😭
bro if the people from From just fucking talked to each other like over half their problems would be gone oh my god
hobie was so obviously not rocking wit the elite spider society since the start,, he knew somethin was up
why else would he steal shit and help miles escape from the laser cage?? he was bein a major instigator,,the first to get rid of his watch and didnt join in on the chase for miles
side note the part where hes interacting wit mayday is just too cute for my heart to handle,, 'takin a crap on the establishment?? i salute u' silly silly silly
anyways all of hobies screentime was just absolute perfection.
bro i luv spider-punk but i specifically wanna talk about his hair
[image description: a gif from Across the Spider-verse of Hobie, without his mask, saying: "I was this cool the whole time." End image description]
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)
absolutely this. bc when i was watching the movie. i kept looking at miles and thinking, is this what representation feels like? bc wow he could be one of my cousins. but then i saw hobie . HOBIE!??? and i was like oh ok i get it. this is what all of you guys were talking about when you said you used to have crushes on cartoons? like if this was ten years ago? you wouldn't have heard the end of it. like my brain can not imagine a more perfect character design. hobie showed up and my third eye was opened. his physical characteristics and personality seem to have formed from my brain like venus or something. mind blown i was like OHHH
GUYS GUYS GUYS, i just realized something, so in miles’ suit his spider is always upside down, and that’s something that really bothered though out the across the spider verse, but it’s obvious super intentional. because the spider isn’t falling, it’s rising, just like miles through the first movie
that’s just something i thought everyone should know lmao
with the new spiderverse trailer dropping out, it's time to ask the same thing i'm so tired of asking but have to:
tag for flashing lights
DO NOT tag as #epilepsy, TAG as #flashing lights
the epilepsy tag is a community tag for us epileptic folks to seek help, if you tag your flashing lights as epilepsy you're putting us at a greater risk
PLEASE REMEMBER THAT FLASHING LIGHTS CAN LEAD TO HOSPITALIZATION AND DEATH
miguel: yesterday, i overheard miles saying “are you sure this is a good idea?” and hobie replying “trust me,” and i have never moved from one universe to another so quickly in my life
