pleaseplease please Beyond The Spiderverse, don't go down the same path Arcane did. PLEASE focus on finishing your fucking story instead of churning out garbage in favor of shipping content.
On November 7, 2024, Denmark used a racist, culturally biased "parenting competency" test to remove a 2 hour old baby, Zammi, from her loving indigenous Greenlandic Inuit mother, Keira, because her native language, which uses minute facial expressions to communicate, will not be able to "[prepare] the child for the social expectations and codes that are necessary to navigate in Danish society." This test had been recommended not to be used at the federal level before this happened but certain municipalities, including the one this happened in, chose to continue to use it regardless. Not only is this blatantly racist but also violates multiple declarations and conventions that Denmark has signed that protect the rights of indigenous people.
Please sign this petition to help Keira to get her baby back.
Batcat doodle page cause that movie had my heart in an iron-grip like I could barely breathe cause they took my breath away...
once again sick to my stomach because i don't know how to draw. these would be cute as a princess and her knight!melvika valentine's day thingy.
ᯓ ᡣ𐭩 — misc JESS DREW headcanons bc she's on my brain 25/8.
- her mask/goggles[?] function as glasses. she's blind af when she takes them off (this makes that one scene at the guggenheim museum funnier to me)
- houston native. she's fightin' her accent back BAD. (her accent comes out when she's REALLY annoyed/pissed. she also calls all sodas "coke”, no matter the flavor)
- loves 90s-2000s r&b (aaliyah, destiny's child, swv, faith evans, etc.) but she also listens to newer stuff (she's a Megan Thee Stallion lover. Opposite Day and Bigger In Texas are her songs)
- femme leaning, but she's a futch/stem lesbian (i will be pushin' this propaganda)
- she loves fruits :3 she's 100% fuckin up a mango with some tajín.
- cat lady. she has a sweet bengal, and she wants another but her allergies can only handle one. womp :(
- a year older than miguel and she's always making fun of him for it.
- not a hello kitty girl, but a betty boop lady. she has a sticker slapped on her bike's license plate and a keychain of her dangling from the handlebar.
- a videogame nerd. she'd ask margo if she ever played the classics, like street fighter, mortal kombat, etc. + she's a normal sims 4 enjoyer (she has 50 terabytes of alpha cc bro her computer cant even run)
- she takes Mario Kart way too seriously. Ben doesn't play with her anymore because he threw a blue shell at her when she was in first place and she was so pressed she actually went off on him. she's still mad about that to this day. (she mains as Dry Bowser btw)
- HAS to wear coats with every outfit or else she'll feel naked.
- she loves jewelry. she has a nose + navel piercing, and she loves bangles and bracelets when she's off duty.
- she has muscles under that biker jacket. trust me. trust my sources.
- Jess has a habit of saying queso cheese and it makes miguel's eye twitch BAD because queso MEANS CHEESE.
- her gloves used to be fingerless once upon a time so she could show off her acrylics, but one of her nails got ripped off during a battle. they was fresh, too.
- she has noiseless footsteps despite them big ass boots. she has a habit of sneaking up on people [miguel] by mistake.
- once said to hobie and margo "that's that white people shit" wit peter b n nem in the background...
- she's not as big on eye contact as miguel is. (i actually noticed this in the movie; she hardly looks anyone in the eyes without their masks on. she's always looking straight forward or to the side, minus the occasional cursory glance)
- she loves kids, and she's excited to be a mama :3
