You won't hear this @alexiusmaximus - Tumblr Blog

This is my final post

Hello friends, I am going to be deleting this blog for personal reasons and making a new one. Most of you are porn bots or don't go on Tumblr anymore, but for my friends who are still on here I will be sending you my new username. Please don't give it to anyone else.

I've had this blog since I was 16. I'm 25 now. Back then Tumblr was brand new with not a lot of people on it. It was my venting place, my escape. It will be weird to delete this. It's a transcript of those years in a way. I made mistakes using this blog. It almost cost me friendships. But it was also a tool of communication and love. In a weird way, I will miss this.

But a new era in my life is starting. And I must escape parts of my old life.

This is probably more dramatic than it needs to be. But yeah.

Goodbye alexiusmaximus

It's really hard watching people who have stayed friends with my rapist post about believing survivors.

I lost friends because they didn't believe me.

God. Fuck.

have you ever thought about how in the versions of the spider-man canon where Peter’s web shooting is accomplished by technology rather than being an actual superpower that means he really just….could have…very easily not done that. like he could have had any weapon. he could have had weapons he didn’t have to invent himself and build from scratch. but they wouldn’t have been spider-themed so he just. he did that. for the Aesthetic.

Peter saw he got bit by a spider and decided to die on that rock

what gets me about Gritty is that there’s no way it could have been a one person decision. for something as important as the franchise’s mascot, there had to be a committee, with at least one or two check-ins from someone in ownership. there had to have been.

and at no point during the process before posting that first picture did someone say “hey maybe this thing is horrifying?” up until the very last second, everyone was like, “yes, this is what we want. what a clever idea we’ve had. let’s show the world.”

what I’m trying to say is this: how did something like Gritty get approved to represent a team as it’s mascot in an intensively media trained organization in the year of our nightmares 2018?
