TW: Depressed thoughts.
Confessed to the person I love and rejected.
Rejection doesn't matter to me, but the problem is
He's my best friend, we know each other 5 years. Confession went normal and rejection doesn't matter but I still have classic "extreme discomfort and in regret after express yourself/tell your feelings" thing. Idk why am I feeling like that at this point. I can't say if it's cause of BPD or my weak personality. Wish I never told. He didn't even distressed or something, it'll going fine. I know it'll be fine and go normal. It's about me. I'm stupid and always trying to express myself.
I choose wrong decide again... as always.
Just, idk y'all just don't be like me don't regret anything after you did or at least think a lot, be sure about it. I'm extremely stupid when topic comes being patient and think carefully. I hate myself ngl.
Nothing changed, nothing destroyed, but still. I wish I never confessed. I'm stupid. I'm sorry. I'm really sorry. I wish I hid my feelings until death of these feelings.
I'm sorry
hi Spottie is my son and him and Liv are brotp i swear to gods they are-
anyway i’m kinda back to posting art yippee [and forgetting i have a personal tag sjsjsj]
maybe i’m reading WAY too into this but to me The Spot personifies how it feels as a scientist to not be taken seriously by the public. Miles made him - a total life-ruining disaster - and when Spot tries to express his anger and warn of the upcoming destruction, Miles continues to laugh him off and ignore him as “not a real threat”. it really reminds me of the way politicians and persons in power have treated warnings about climate change and impending scientific dangers that they themselves caused. with flippant ignorance.
it’s so cool to see an evil scientist that isn’t purely suave or cold - Spot is passionate and talks too much and is genuinely excited about what he’s able to achieve and discover, but he’s also furious at being pushed aside. his experiences really resonate with me! imagine you discover all this destructive power that you (society) have obtained, and when you warn people of the impending consequences they laugh in your face!
anyways, it’s cathartic to see a scientist go “oh, you think this is just the problem of the week? well, don’t say i didn’t warn you of the consequences”
my friend shared some spot/miguel art with me less than a week ago and i've already plotted out a multi-chapter fic. goddamn
AHHHHHH i love thisss (┬┬﹏┬┬) so cutee
new friend?
went bonkers on my ig 👍
Sometimes I can't tell if a character is coded or I'm projecting...
With that in mind, let's talk about The Spot!!!
Ok so, I think Spot is coded to be disabled. Specifically a newly physically disabled person.
My main reasons to call this coding is because of Spot's lines like "I can't really get a job anymore being like this." "My family won't even look at me."
He can't get work anymore and his family has disowned him. An unfortunate reality for many disabled people.
Of course this could also fit with some other types of coding but I think it's for disability this time around because his body literally went through a change. He has to relearn how to do basic things like eat for example. He has to learn how to navigate his body again.
Another fun point I want to bring up is his character's gothic horror aspects! (This is related I swear).
Again could just be my personal biases (I just had a gothic horror hyperfixation). But I think it's partly intentional.
The Spot reminds me a LOT of The Invisible Man. Both are scientists who have undergone a painful horrific body horror transformation that has led them to be outcasts. They are both silly at times but angered easily to the points of world domination. (Also Spot's outfit in the store is a reference to The Invisible Man)
Now The Invisible Man (story) has a lot of gothic horror aspects. Most importantly a monster who has undergone a transformation that has led him to being outcast by society. He's othered.
Same thing happens to our boy Johnathon! The reason I wanted to bring this up is because gothic horror tends to be relatable and loved by lots of queer and disabled people.
The reason is a big theme is said othering of the monster. In an effort to other the monster from "normal" people you accidentally (or intentionally) end up making something relatable to lots of people, typically queer and disabled people! Hence why many villains in pop culture are queer and disabled icons, while not actually being stated as such in canon explicitly.
Ok sorry for rambling lol but this has been on my mind since I saw the movie. Anyway The Spot is disabled bye.
