I keep thinking how much more powerful the Spiderman origin story would be if Peter Parker was an African American kid, whose Uncle Ben was shot by police while being arrested for a minor parking infraction. There is no formal investigation, and Peter decides to put himself on the line to prevent it happening again. He tackles the white crimes that go unpunished, punishes POC criminals fairly. He is the leveler, always fighting to be without bias, to be just. To protect people like his uncle.
This not only mirrors so much of what’s happening in America, but feeds right into the complex relationship between Spiderman, the authorities and the media.
Peter Parker is a brilliant student, awkward, a nerd, but is branded a thug, a gang member, a criminal, because of his appearance. The media latch on to that and misrepresent him totally.
The police, humilitated by the fact that he refuses to work with them and often punishes cops themselves for brutalizing innocent people, or guilty people who still deserve better treatment than they get, attempt to hunt him down.
I had to.
oh man. This is the shit.
The “with great power comes great responsibility” line gets such a deeper meaning within this context.
Not to mention a white nerdy boy with glasses is not the look of a social outcast or person of ridicule anymore.
It also adds increased meaning to his two most persistent and famous foes being a white mobster who makes money by exploiting and causing harm to vulnerable communities while remaining untouchable because he keeps up a facade of “Respectability” while the authorities don’t really give a shit about the communities he harms with his criminal acitvities because they’re not the “Right” kind of victim like Wilson Fisk and a rich old money asshole white dude who is in big business like Norman Osborn
SO IN THE LATEST EPISODE MY SMOL BLUE CHILD ZERKON CALLED OUT THE FUCKING DIAMONDS ON SHATTERING PINK
BUT DID YOU KNOW
THAT THE ONLY THING THAT CAN BREAK A DIAMOND - I8S ANOTHER DIAMOND!
NOW PEOPLE THINK ITS YELLOW BECAUSE OF HER GUITLY FACE AND THE PEARL’ REACTIONS `
but i pose a second option
as stated by eyeball , rose quartz shattered pink diamond with her sword
however in the episode bismuth , bismuth says that the sword can only destroy the physical form of the gem.
I believe that Rose Quartz had proofed pink diamond using the sword and them presented it to the only other gem that could shatter a diamond-
another diamond.
but witch one?
to answer this question i would like to present this mural
in this mural we can see three gems
one of them is definitely rose quartz
the other is greatly believed to be white diamond
the third one - he one rose is holding- seems to be a pink diamond
now , i think that the event that this mural is depicting is the shattering of pink diamond by white diamond , as it looks like white diamond is about to strike the gem that rose is holding .
isn’t it fascinating how one of the highest ranking gems out of all of them didn’t even attend the trail of the alleged shatter-er of pink diamond
its almost as if they didn’t want to become a suspect when all the evidence starts to point towards them.
there was this really cute woman at a con dressed like toriel once and i told her she was a milf and shes like “i have an open relationship i can show you how much of a milf i can be” and i almost did it but her kids my age and how fucking awkward would it have been to go to the homestuck photo shoot the next day and look someone in the eye knowing i fucked their mom
