It is, by any metric, a small country masquerading as a city.

It governs more lives and more wealth than most nations. If democratic socialism — housing reform, public banking, equitable taxation — functions here, it obliterates the myth that such governance can’t work at scale. The fear isn’t ideological. It’s empirical. Because if Mamdani can keep the lights on, reduce homelessness, and maintain economic growth without catering to Wall Street, then the capitalist gospel collapses under its own dead weight.

What terrifies the establishment isn’t failure. It’s feasibility.

If it works in New York, there’s no reason it can’t work in Nebraska. If it works in Queens, it can work in Kansas City. And once proof exists, belief becomes irrelevant. The ship of democracy, fully refitted, will keep sailing — and no one can claim it isn’t American."

Peter’s soulmark rests over his heart, the placement is meant to represent how Peter is scared to give 100% of his heart to anyone due to his “Parker Luck”. Everyone he has loved and let know all of him has either died or no longer remembers him. This placement shows how he doesn’t have to be scared to let his soulmate see and know all of him.

The mark has a soft robin that’s flying and curving around the bottom of a bright red star at the very center. Curving around the top of the star is the skeleton of a bird that Peter assumes is also a robin. It looks like the birds are engaging in a dance with each other with this red star at the very center of their lives. Peter can’t help but look at the skeleton of the bird in fear, wondering if this is to show his soulmate’s fate now that he’s stuck with Peter Parker. He can’t stop the feeling of awe when the bird's wings gently flutter in time with the shimmering of the red star.

Jason marks the inside of his wrist, right over his pulse point to represent his forced detachment from others and the space he tries to put between his friends and family. This shows his soulmate will be a grounding presence and will also help him bridge the gap he put between himself and others.

The mark is a spider that gently cuffs his wrist, the body of the spider rests right over his pulse point and the legs cuff around the back of his wrist sitting loose in a way to show support but not restricting him. The spider has an hourglass on its abdomen similar to a black widow symboll but instead of being red the hourglass seems to shimmer with moving stardust at the top of the hourglass that slowly falls onto the spiderweb that is in the bottom of the symbol. Spiders are patient hunters and the hourglass represents that his soulmate will have the patience and dedication to help Jason and take care of him but Jason can’t help to think that it means his time with a soulmate is limited.

Part 1: Long masc hairstyles + playing with fades

given that gusteau died shortly after this and the will takes 2 years after death

assuming that ego’s review was the same year that boiardi died then the absolute EARLIEST the movie can take place is 1987

and about the incredibles, when looking for the scene with the newspaper i stumbled across this

a headline from 2002, and given that lawsuits generally take a while and september to december is really quick for the banning of supers so let’s say they were banned in mid 2003, at the EARLIEST incredibles can take place in 2018, with ratatouille taking place sometime in between 2003 and 2018

assuming that was a mistake, thunderhead died november 15 1958, a date where superheroes would’ve been illegal if incredibles 1 took place in 1962

and adding onto the impossibility of the date being 1962 his death is included in the shutdown reports of the national supers agency
