The freak in your DNI list

There’s even an option to check “this isn’t a real case” if you want to fuck around on the website

I actually love how comprehensive this is. It starts with a header saying whether or not you need to go to the ER and then breaks down what you might experience if anything (e.g. if you chewed on it and broke the kernel you might get a little nauseous from the cyanide but you don’t need to seek further help unless it’s persistent or you also get x y or z) and then they say how they determined that response.

and this is a wild strawberry (I think it's Fragaria vesca in the pic, but really it's true for any Fragaria species):

Remember when Lil Nas X beautifully explored his sexuality, seduced and killed the devil to the banger of all time, and instead of cheering on this openly gay and proud Black artist for his artistry and fighting back against respectability politics, suddenly said respectability politics was all the Queerest Place on the Internet cared about? Hm. Wonder what happened there.

So some fanartist drew a “sexy” (read: booby) version of a (cartoon) character who is traditionally very non-sexualised. Fans of the character got mad about it because it’s kind of groundbreaking how that character is written and portrayed and this art totally ignores the entire point of the character. They demanded the art be deleted. In response to that other people said, well what the fanartist did may be distateful but they have every right to draw what they’re into. The two sides fight for days and each starts a harassment campaign and even report their “opponents’” accounts.

So far so typical. But things eventually come to a head and they decide that this will be settled by votes - not through a poll. Through donations to a children’s education charity via each side’s portal. Whoever can get the highest amount of donation wins.

But here? This reveal? This is a Big Reveal for us, Peter B Parker, and Miles, all on different levels. We and Peter both know Doc Ock is a portly dude, not a woman. We know the name Octavius… Otto Octavius. But when she says her name is Olivia Octavius we’re clued in to the fact that Doctor Octopus is a woman in this universe. And she has Peter captive.

Miles, if he was paying attention in science class earlier in the movie, would have known her name was Olivia Octavius, but that doesn’t mean anything to him, why would it? Liv has apparently been very good about keeping her supervillainy a secret. She’s in educational videos shown in high-schools. So to Miles, the reveal here is this scientist lady, who he knew enough about to know was the head scientist at Alchemax, is a supervillain. He gets the reveal a second or two after Peter.

And the movie? It was dropping hints the entire time, confident in our expectations blinding is to the truth. Olivia’s name was partially visible when Miles got to science class. Her glasses are octagonal. The lights in her lab are octagonal. We know she’s working with the Kingpin. Why wouldn’t she be a supervillain? Because she’s hot? Hell, Peter even says he needs to reexamine his internal biases. Maybe he was telling us that we should too.

like yes this is in relation to The Skizzcident of Pride 2025 but also what are you a fuckin' cop like

Streamers are doing a job and sure that job has a social element but they aren't your friend they don't owe you that information and if they've offered it before okay sure but if it's not in their normal wheelhouse shut up

and I know you don't wanna hear that and I don't particularly care happy pride streamers are not squeaky toys for you to harass when you want to be angry at societal systems they're people with complex complicated worlds that are none of your fucking business

Historically it was made from murex snails and was hugely expensive and used by royalty, but chemically it’s similar to indigo so the class was able to create it in the lab without snails.
