well? do you?

“By isolating Miles from his cultural heritage, Bendis does a disservice to Miles, to Miles’s fans, and to Latinx people. Bendis has the opportunity to touch on major issues of biracial and Afro-Latinx identity and the intersections of African-American and Latinx culture. Bendis can use the recognizable metaphors of the superhero genre to give readers insight into the home life of a mixed race family. Bendis can present Miles’s parents as fleshed out and well-developed characters of color. Instead, Bendis shields Miles from dealing with Miles’s complex racial identity and cultural heritage and presents a family seemingly obsessed with only one topic of discussion. In separating Miles from his ethnic background, Bendis and Marvel engage in a form of cultural appropriation. Miles’s Afro-Latinidad is great when it helps grab headlines and sell comics, but Bendis deems it unnecessary when actually writing those comics.” -Alejandro Jimenez

All the boys are fat now. Mama’s cooking is too good, lol.

Alejo and Andy's school report to their parents, circa 2078.

Turns out, when you take over the Commonwealth, the Institute want something to do with you! Or, rather, they want someone to be you. Not that it matters much; two brains are better than one, right?

It is Alejandro’s birthday! No party for him though. Not that it matters since everyday is essentially a party because someone is always inviting a friend to the house.
