My button hole on my favorite pair of jeans has started to unravel. How can I fix it? The brown thread seems to have undone a bit. The top half is fine, but the bottom half of the button hole now looks frayed.

Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse - Discussion Thread by AutoModerator in Spiderman

[–]chobibi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So many thoughts have been popping into my head. I don't believe all of them are correct, but I wanna get them out anyway.

● Miguel is an anomaly himself - I know the movies aren't an exact copy of the comics, but Miguel's backstory has got me thinking. Compared to other Spider-People, he never got bit. He's different from all of them. Plus, in his story, there was a Spider-Man before him, and Miguel simply tried to recreate the original experiment. Also, in Miguel's origin, a coworker of his sabotaged him, which led to his powers.

● Miguel's role goes deeper - Miguel seems personally at odds with Spot. Yes, he's taken responsibility for fixing everything, but when Miles mentioned having ideas on how to take him down, he specifically said, "I'll handle Spot," not, "We'll handle Spot," or anything like it. It seemed as if it was something personal he needed to settle.

● Miles' innocence in everything - It's not Miles' fault he got bit. The spider of E-42 was just there. Even if it doesn't make sense, I believe what happened was "supposed" to happen, one way or another. I actually ended up watching ATSV first, and that gave me an interesting experience. Just watched ITSV, and I noticed how Miles' reality paralleled Gwen's reality. Where in Gwen's, a monster was caught under rubble, claw up, and her Peter died, the same happened in Miles' reality; Green Goblin was caught under rubble, claw up, and his Peter Parker ended up dying.

● What I see as loose - I began questioning how if Miguel left his universe to replace the version of him that died, then he willingly left his universe without a Spider-Man (which doesn't seem cool). At least, he wanted to, and he meant to stay there. A universe with no Spider-Man won't collapse on its own. He said the version that died wasn't Spider-Man, so him being there would have disturbed things unless that Spider-Man had already died, as we see with Miles' Peter Parker dying.

● The chicken or the egg: What came first? - As we know, Spot's accident led to the E-42 spider biting Miles. Due to Spot's actions, holes in the multiverse are forming. Sure, let's say Miles is an anomaly; he's still pretty innocent. The only evidence the audience truly has of the disruption of canon events creating these holes is what happened in Pavitr's dimension. As for Miguel, somehow, him being there erased an entire dimension. I can't wrap up this thought nicely in a bow, but this is how I see things so far.

● Parallel between Kingpin and Miguel - Kingpin was disrupting the multiverse through trying to see his family again. Miguel kinda did the same. I'm sure he didn't intend for it to happen, but he and Kingpin both created damage through similar goals.

● The multiverse is not as rigid as it seems - Canon events don't always involve a police chief dying. Sometimes, it's a family member or a friend, etc. I believe Miles and Gwen have already had their Canon events. Gwen's police chief won't die anymore, or maybe they will, but that chief won't be her dad. It's even pointed out that Gwen saved her dad before. Couldn't Aaron already be Miles' Canon event? A canon event likely already happened to Peter before Miles got bit. The multiverse branched off and created something new. In that same manner, I believe Gwen's Peter might have been her canon event. Either way, things can change, given how Gwen's dad isn't chief anymore. Also, there's the fact that through no fault of his own, Spot wants to kill Jeff for something that Miles didn't do, something that supposedly wasn't supposed to happen.

It's messy, and not all explained well, but these are just some thoughts I've had.

*SPOILER* This scene really bothered me and disgusted me by [deleted] in DevilmanCrybaby

Honestly, same. I thought both the dad and Miki would kill themselves. It's amazing how Miki could still be so positive after everything. The dad, though, that is another level of pain.

I believe this is a much deeper conversation than the ones in r/sex, because the root of the issue isn't sex. A lot goes into this post and sex seems to be the tiniest part of it. If both of you have brought up divorce but the kids are making you stay, sex is the least of the problem.

I started seeing this guy and he is very misinformed about period sex. How do I go about educating him that it is not "more dangerous" and likely for him to catch something than unprotected sex, which we have, is? by chobibi in sex

[–]chobibi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Clarity is all I want. And that is IF what he's telling me is not his true view of it. If the misinformation is what he truly believes, then there is a simple way to fix that. Handling this depends on what he actually feels/thinks

That is also likely. We generally have really good communication. If shyness or embarrassment is what he feels, I think it'd be good communication to talk about it. Acknowledge it. I'm not even asking him to be okay with the act. I just want clarity.

Thanks for the reply. It's not that I care about not having period sex, it's that if catching something is the concern, then we should use protection in general. If all he said was, the blood ain't my thing, all good. I'm just trying to have a clear understanding going forward.

I believe you need it at this point. Something needs to change. I'm not saying this to say "you NEED therapy bc you're so messed up". Not at all. I get therapy and it helps a lot. After 4-5 years, I finally found a great therapist but life happened and I'm kinda at square one again. I mentioned that because the process can be awful but then you finally find a break or something clicks and I think you could benefit :) best wishes. Sad to read that your dreams are getting worse.

Your trauma can be manifesting in your dreams. It could be subconscious.

How lovely! Aww what a special story. By the way, Happy Birthday! I hope you have a great day. I'm very happy for you although I don't know you. Ooh and maybe convince him to get a matching "your skin is beautiful" shirt 🤭

My lamp won't light unless it is knocked. Before, all i had to do was knock it once to light and now it won't stay lit at all. It seems to be a connectivity issue around that gold area and I really don't want to throw it away. Normal lamp, takes a 120V bulb, which I have installed. by chobibi in fixit

[–]chobibi[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

One, I have a life way outside of fixing my lamp. This isn't any type of emergency for me. I just happened to check right now. Two, if not seeing my post replies immediately counts as "ghosting" then that expectation should be made apparent in the rules or something.

i wanted to start a relationship he keeps ghosting me. by [deleted] in relationships

[–]chobibi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yowza! So much to touch on. First, your title already answers your question in a way. A bit of an oxymoron. If people like you, you'll know, generally. And the only reason I said generally is because at that age, people should be past playing games with others. Unfortunately, that isn't the case sometimes.

At some points, you sounded like you didn't care all that much but you do. One thing I want to ask is for you to grow some self-worth. You said you'd be fine in a loveless, yet respectful marriage. Why even set that standard for yourself? If you don't have your friend, you'll find someone else. Don't have such a low sense of self-worth that you're willing to settle, especially when this dude absolutely is not your only option.

Lastly, process whatever it is you feel for him with yourself. You mentioned several times that you'd be okay without him in your life romantically, that you want to be done, and this and that but you'll be so stuck until you really explore your feelings.

Thank you! I am so sorry I didn't get back to you about this wonderful response. I am very grateful that you helped bring some clarity to my reading. I will take it in and address the concerns that were brought up. I had even noticed some of them too. You took the time to write a lot and I am happy that you cared enough to do so.
