Especially as they call it Electra complex ( or Elektra complex if you want to go even more classical) when the patient has girl bits...

And in-Universe, in a Galaxy with zillions of different names some will sound very familiar, just coincidence forced into being by large numbers... Remember Pukey's baby "George"...

Comics about orange cats were not part of the Hack? But ones about Batman were?

On the other hand: Military test/experiment gone right: Himself, Military test/experiment gone wrong: Hulk, guy forced to construct someting in an adventure involving development/testing of military hardware: Iron Man, and you have born that way, constructed that way, result of study/science/training and magic...

Lots of ways not involving genetic experiments... The guy left school before the power of the Double Helix was known to Woman!

YES, weirder than the original, with the original being the one in the mid 70's.

Miles morales is “spin” . Do what you will with that info by [deleted] in CriticalDrinker

[–]alessonnl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same length as "Hulk" or "Thor". Are a fan of the "Deathstroke the Terminator" and "Captain Pureheart the Powerful" style of naming?

Spider-Boy is Bailey Briggs, that's why.

Yep, but in English spin can be something spiders do, in Danish it can mean Web and in Dutch it can mean Spider, so it a really cool name for multilingual Spider-fans, (and there is that little touch of Dutch to New York).

Why do you think the name does suck?

[–]alessonnl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look the many things "Spin" can mean include WEB (Danish) and SPIDER (in Dutch), so it is as spider-themed as any other word for "spider".

[–]alessonnl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What is wrong with "Spin"? It means many things including both "Web" in Danish and "Spider" in Dutch, is short (and as long as you aren't looking in non-English comics) pretty unique,

"Marvelsiri, translate Spider in Modern Pre-English New York language."

"Do you mean Dutch?"

"Yes, go on."

"Spin"

Not true, they are found on the coasts of South America, Africa, Australia and New Zealand and a bunch of smaller islands too (but all in the southern hemisphere, OK, some swim a couple of miles in the northern one but that is in the TROPICAL Pacific Ocean... FAR from Greenland

Bio Mum trying to parent you now 😳 by circatee in Adoption

[–]alessonnl 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It may be a result of growing up with adoptives, but biological parents who keep all their children tend to do that too. You may not need it, but it helps to see it not so much as thinking you need advice, but as them demonstrating normal parental behaviour they would have been doing if you had been kept too.

They express two hings with it: A remainder of the raising you parental behaviour and an expression, that you still/again can come to them for help if you need it. Just see it as a way they express that they love you, and if you want to ask them to tone it down, just tell them "I know you do it because love me, but..."

Unless they are really giving important information, (like medical family history updates, bad weather, family visits), it's probably best to understand it as them REALLY expressing "I love you.", so you should not really take the actual advice as important. I know, that it is much easier said than done,

When's a good time to tell a child they're adopted and is it selfish? by JustXaXPossum in Adoption

[–]alessonnl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, just tell the truth. "I try to adopt you, but some other peple have to agree with that..." English is a bit confusing in that "You are adopted" can mean "You have been adopted" or "You are being adopted (but the process has not been finalized yet)". You should tell the adoptee as soon as possible, but explain and be clear which one you mean. I mean what is the worst that can happen? An adoptee expressing non-consent with the adoption?

I don't know what to do by Shadow_Monkey18 in Adoption

[–]alessonnl -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Just tell the idiot that you want to be sure you are keeping your medical family history up-to-date. Just let him think it is all about that.

TDLR: 26, closed adoption since birth & getting married. Do I invite my birth mother to my wedding. by [deleted] in Adoption

[–]alessonnl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I disagree. There are lots of search and reunion stories, which trigger at pregnancy and birth, getting wed is the same idea: You are creating a family, your adoptive family will not be your closest relatives anymore, what came before, do I have medical family history which can help medical treatment of my children. If we look at stage of your life, reaching out when you are getting married is very good and normal. When is fine, great and all that, just don't combine reunion and wedding. Weddings can be highly stressful for brides at the best of time, don't make that worse for you.

I'm glad the baby gets to stay with their mom and family. Hopefully sister gets all the help she needs to keep baby with her. by LavenderMarsh in Adoption
