Day 0: The Web-shooters

Have you ever wanted a toy so badly that you decided to just make it yourself?

No? Well, that’s what I’m doing. While everyone was in love with the HUGE silly string canisters for web-shooters back in the early 00’s -- I wanted something a little better. THIS.

The Cartridge phone. I thought Normie making this for May was so cool when I first read it and I wanted this to be a toy phone if they ever made Spider-girl as a cartoon or a movie [ I was a child with no concept this would be confusing. And I trusted executives did things in the best interest to the story, characters, and fans. ] So clearly this was never made into a toy, and at some point, as we all got older and go more into texting, and smartphones this was kind of phased out. But I loved it, and if I’m planning to turn myself into the best Spider-Girl cosplay that there can be, then I’ve got to make this. I am still not sure on if I want to line this up to look like a tiny little sidekick pager to allude to what it became in Spider-Island, Or if I want to go super older school and make something so early 00s phone. I also don’t know, minus it lights up, if I want it to just be a Bluetooth phone extension or an actual toy where Id then must find friends to make voicemails as beloved MC2 characters – which surprise is kind of what I’m leaning towards to make this truly the dream toy of my 11-year-old self. All I know if I do want a text noise and two ringtones at a minimum to play one buzzing if I can, but if not the noise. And something like the 90s spider-man theme in like super midi – OR hear me out. – I pull my most embarrassing ringtone from my razor. Or destroy a razor since my mom saved 4 of them and retrofit it in a web cartridge as best I can and legit just have what Normie made May. *SURPRISED GIF* *Mind Blown GIF* I wonder how hard that might be. Hm. I’ll make another post when I start the challenge next week about exactly what I have already, and what I need to work on. The ideas, etc. But clearly, I have ideas. And this is something that is happening.

Day 0: Who are you and what the hell are you doing?

So... Hi.

This is probably one of the most vulnerable things I’ve done.

Making a fitness blog, comic review, possible fan canon, fan fiction, cosplay build, nerd fashion blog --- about a character only a dedicated few really know.

Why am I doing this?

TL;DR: I’m a broken nerd who thinks using her childhood hero will motivate her to get her life back together.

Long Answer: Well after deleting my old Tumblr at the request of a very abusive ex, [ I was known as poormansbilliepiper or lifeafteru, which was a Brie Larson song. Funny how this comes full circle. ], I have been itching to make my voice heard -- only I haven’t quite figured out what my voice is after finally getting out from up under that storm.

This isn’t new, and normally when I feel lost and in need of a small quiet corner to lick my wounds, I re-read the first comic I seriously collected, Spider-Girl. It was the first time I saw a character who not only looked like me with short brown hair and blue/green eyes but also wasn’t a super girly girl. She liked sports and wasn’t afraid to jump in and do what was right.

I started reading the comic somewhere around Fall 1998; around issue #3 or so. I had just turned 8 and fell in love instantly, clearly.

I saw myself. It was me, or who I wanted to be.

This comic, this character was there whenever I needed to hide. Under the bed, because I didn’t want my father to find me when he was in one of his concussion moods.

In the corner of the comic store to not have to deal with the teenager who kept telling me how girls in comics are stupid. Especially Spider-Girl.

In my closet after crying my eyes out because my friends bullied me for a week of “coolness”; in the hospital after my knee surgery, or there when I moved away to somewhere new -- you get it.

It was there for me from 1998 to 2010. Most of my life.

Normally I keep her close to the vest, hidden. No one will ever be able to take this character from me.

And even when I’ve tried to let people in to show them, normally no one’s cared. They don’t even try.

So she’s just my thing, but I want to be able to show her and her importance to the world. I want to show why she has saved my life and maybe she can save someone else’s.

I think using the fact her run altogether since it didn’t really have a break in between is 151 issues. The longest running female titled comic run within Marvel. 151 days for 151 issues to re-read. Re-live and re-inspire me and hopefully others. I am using this 1 issue a day as my meditation time.

And inspiring the day to workout, to get Spidey-fit for a rebuild of my classic Spider-Girl suit along with her black suit because it was always my favorite

I want to use this to push through my keto headaches so I can lose all the weight I gained while I was stressed out due to the bad relationship -- and I want to be able to process all my emotions into something better. Plus having this in a daily blog with people watching means I have to stay on track and keep on with the cosplay and my fitness because the world is watching.

Plus starting this after my 28th birthday, on the 20th anniversary year of Spider-Girl, leading up to the 80th anniversary of Marvel and ending the series about a week before the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s first female titled solo movie; Captain Marvel -- This is just the perfect time.

If you are still here after reading all of this, you are amazing and drop me a line. I’d love to know you are here and ready to take this challenge with me!
