what's on my trinket shelf (5/?): spider-man

Image
this is my most modest collection, but also one of my favorites. i love spider-man, i can't get enough, i think about it every day and it makes me so happy. the difference between this one and my other collections: this is the only one dedicated to a very popular worldwide beloved character, which means all the merch is quite expensive. most of my trinkets are second hand and super cheap, but with spider-man, even if you buy second hand, it's considered a collection piece, and they will charge you at the very least 50€, and that's why most of the shelf is art, i don't have that many figurines or trinkets, because i don't have a lot of money.  that's how it looks like. before the close ups, let me credit the artists from left to right: umikochannart (instagram, cowboy eddie brock x venom horse), ultimate-marysue (tumblr, sleepy spidey on the metro), guihenris (instagram, chibi peter parker), patrolsilver_ (twitter, peter parker variant 616), marlkly (twitter, spi...

patience and kindness

Image
i've talked about this book before , and i know what you're thinking, how did it take you sooo long to read a poetry book ? the truth is i've been savoring it, i didn't want it to end. in some ways, i still haven't finished it, because i keep coming back to the little pieces i have marked, to read them again and again and again.   here's a collage of one of those pages i keep coming back,  my favorite verse,  Los รกrboles en marzo son postes de madera,  y hay unas tiernas hojas que consiguen cambiarlos y es que la paciencia y la ternura valen para todo.  Por esto y otras cosas no me mato.    ༄˖°.๐Ÿ‚.ೃ࿔*:・   in March, the trees are wooden sticks, but there's some cute leaves that change them that is, patience and kindness* work for everything. it is because of that and a few other things, i don't kill myself.     *ternura could mean kindness, but in a way that also conveys:  tenderness, love, softness,  endearment  ...

SPIDER-MAN BRAND NEW DAY (2026)  ☆☆ ☆ ☆ this was my raw reaction the second i came out the cinema:   (SPOILERS)   now is later, i think i still love it as much, i've seen many commentary of people saying how peter was lowkey evil for inventing the universal thing that kills mutant powers, using the face recognition surveillance (+ how the movie is propaganda trying to convince us is a good thing for the government to control us like that), and how crazy is they portrayed jean as a good guy when she's literally a murderer.  idk if it's because i am in a complete different political frame and society than the people from the US, but i wasn't bother by those things as much. i will agree i never like it when spider-man works with the police, but sadly this is not the first time it happens, there's many many many versions and universes in which spidey is friendly with police officers (yuck). also i was under the impression the government was the main villain of the m...

what if a sylvanian dog got biten by a radioactive spider ?

Image
just after the spider-man movie came out i saw a photo of a cat sylvanian wearing a spider-man costume, and it was so perfectly crafted i thought it was official for a second, turns out it was just made by a very talented fan. i've been wanting one since then, but i didn't think i could make one, at least not as good, i can't sew and i don't understand clothes patterns a all. but just the other day, a short video made it to my feed, a person making a little spider-man suit for a baby bunny sylvanian, and guess what ? it looked terrible.  they used very cheap fabric, you know the one for arts and crafts that's very hard, the pattern was just them putting the fabric over the bunny and cutting it without measuring even once, they used glue to put it together, there was no blue, and the lines and the spider were so thick, it looked so messy. it reminded me something important, not having the skills or the talent, should never stop you from making art. if it being messy ...

the early riser

Image
i've talked many times in here about the forest i love to go for a walk with my dog, but i don't think i've mentioned this other one,  it's called el madrugador (meaning, the early-riser), we don't go there as much because it's not my favorite. the entrance is full of construction, they're making houses nobody can afford in what use to be the other half of the forest, and it makes me sad. plus it's owned land, which means is full of fences to stop people form crossing, so to get in you have to find a big stick and place it strategically over the spikes so you (and your pup) can jump safely over it. some people walk in there so if you're lucky, the stick could be already there !   it's not all bad tho, because there's a couple of small local farms around it, you get to see horses, donkeys, cows, cats, chickens and ducks walking around, they're really cute. also, and this this the main reason why we come here in the summer, there's no b...

taking some me time (flea market haul)

Image
the flea market it's called rastro where i'm from, and i think that word has more similar vibes to the place than flea market , spanish is such an ancient language, it has so many words and so much history, i like it, i think it often does a better job than english describing the world.  anyway, i've been feeling kinda low lately, i don't have much energy and i'm little sad, so i haven't been doing much on my free time, mostly sleep and watch trash tv. it's been weeks since i last got a free sunday, so i decided to get over myself i go to the flea market, to try and feel something.  first i got these 2 dolls for 50 cent, they're cute. i got the LOL doll because they're fun to customize, i like to put littlest pet shop heads on them, and i thought the pink bunny would look great on her, but after further inspection, it looks like she's part of the hello kitty collection, and now i don't know if want to destroy her like that... maybe she'l...

preferred pronouns: jumba/pleakley

 i was wearing this outfit the other day,  and my mom said: you look like the aliens from lilo and stitch, the ones trying really hard and failing to look human.   she didn't mean it neither as a compliment or an insult, just a fact, but i definitely took is as a compliment, i used to love them so so so much as a kid, specially pleakley, he was such an icon, a queer icon really. how i wish i was weird looking alien wearing anything i want, and if i'm out there actually giving those vibes, then i might be closer to the ideal version of me from my head than i thought.  this whole thing reminded me to a silly doodle i drew years ago, prompted by a quick silly comment my dad made, i was watching a video of someone that was giving me so much gender envy, my dad came into the room, saw the person, and said: "haha they look like you" it's crazy how big of a difference there is between how i see myself and how other people do, it makes me wonder if would i think i looked ...
