we have dandelions EVERYWHERE, they are basically our State Weed, it is absolutely impossible that my mom has never interacted with a dandelion before, this requires further investigation
So after extensive interrogation I have an update:
my mom is in fact aware that dandelions exist. she temporarily forgot the name and there was some miscommunication.
the truth is actually weirder
she’s aware dandelions look like this
she is familiar with this flower. she knows the name of this flower. she declines to believe, however, that these are also dandelions
she does not believe these are the same plant. I tried to explain, and she thought I was either misinformed or lying. so I asked her what exactly did she think the yellow ones were called?
she answered, with complete confidence: Daffodils.
“buttercups” is a name applied to MANY flowers. in my part of the south it was this one:
imo there’s correct identifications of dandelions, daffodils, easter lilies and marigolds in this thread, but buttercups are simply impossible to agree on and the only solution is for everyone to post pictures of their local buttercups
i really really really love the idea of eridians hearing absolutely everything in a human body and being able to predict an episode of something, similarly to how medical alert service dogs can
Imagine the surreal insanity of being Irina Petrova and just hanging out having a hobby that you're very intense about and then you notice something weird and then all at once your name is one of the most uttered in history, by total accident. In the movie universe they describe her as a "radio telescope enthusiast" she does not even do this professionally. And suddenly everything is Petrova line, Petrova frequency, Petrova wavelength, Petrovascope, Petrova Task Force, Petrova problem. And you're like man. I have a day job.
can you imagine tho if Eridians discovered radiation years and years after the Blip-A left
and they're just absolutely horrified because now they know why the Blip-A never returned, they sent them all to die, now to save their sun they have to redo the entire program all over again and Adrian is devastated -
and then three Eridian years later Rocky shows up with his pet alien and a ton of taumeoba all I LIVED BITCH
SPIDER-MAN YOU CANT KEEP DOING THIS WITH YOUR UNIVERSAL THEMES OF LOVE AND CONNECTION ITS TOO PAINFUL AND HOPEFUL
The mutation as a manifestation of loneliness, maybe? The hunger and craving for human connection eats at him and it’s trying to tell him that he can’t keep shutting himself off from other people or he’s going to lose who he is
The black in his eyes covers his pupils and the emptiness in his heart eats away at who he is
And he tries to suppress the mutation, tries to ignore his desperation to feel connected to the people around him but he fails of course he fails
“How do you decide which parts of nature are good or bad?” And what he means is “How do you decide which parts of you should be eased?” And the answer is you don’t. You can’t. A person is not a person without all their triumphs and their flaws and the people around them. The people Peter loves are Spider-Man’s greatest weakness but also his greatest strength
And only when he accepts that he needs to let people into his life and love and be loved does he truly reconcile with his mutation
“Are you going to be Spider-Man or Peter Parker? Both.” Because Spider-Man cannot exist without the prerequisite of Peter Parker. Spider-Man is Spider-Man because of the love Peter has received and has given out in return. There’s no one without the other and he could never have just existed as just the hero in the mask. Spider-Man is Spider-Man because of Peter’s incredible and miraculous ability to see everyone around him as someone worth loving and worth saving. Fuck you. This made me cry. This should be illegal they can’t keep doing this to me. Last time I cried because it was too fucking sad and this time I cried because it (while still sad) was so fucking hopeful. LET ME CATCH A BREAK DAMMIT
Honestly you know what LET PETER CATCH A BREAK
Speaking of which. Please. Let him be happy this time.
You are never as alone as you think you are
You need people in your life because the people around you is the crux of who you are, so who even are you without them FUCK YOU THESE ARE MY FAVOURITE THEMES
