sorry i need to expel the demon that is comicsverse thoughts from my head w a weirdly structured ramble ive been trying to articulate fdsjkfhkjds

-> miguel is initially alienated from his body post transformation - not just due to the nonconsensual nature of being spidered - but because he views the transformation as alienating him from a claim to humanity

-> however, the identity of spiderman and the ideals that represents seems to be in big part the means by which miguel reconciles himself to the nature of his physical body. not only do his abilities become naturalised to his understanding of himself as Miguel (rather than being thought of as alien) but they enable spiderman to be that force for good and change that miguel so desperately wants to see in himself

-> but miguel simultaneously depersonalises himself from his spiderman identity. he thinks of it as the better half of himself, as something almost ephemeral, that he doesn't quite have a claim to or is able to reconcile completely to Miguel The Human Being and all his associated baggage

-> and that's an interesting internal conflict to have when he simultaneously can never escape the lived reality of his own body and where it diverges from those around him, even as that lived reality eventually becomes something he can reconcile himself to far more easily

-> and what overhangs across this entire discussion is context of (and thus how Miguel would be influenced by) Nueva York's hypercapitalist society and thus the understanding and conception of your physical body in that lens. how much or little your body is owed by you yourself. the access you are told must be permitted to it by others/corporations. how the physical body is policed and politicised. the commodification of the body in the most literal sense via Vulture's cannibalism.

I cannot rely on one person for me to be happy my happiness isn't allowed to be only triggered by one person I can be happy at every little thing it doesn't matter about this one person

cleaning out my following list and am being reminded of the phase i had where i was trying to make myself feel about being wlw the way i felt about being mlm (which is not what i called it at the time and also i was bisexual at this time) and i did this by. following every random carol fan blog i could find jshdsjhshjdsdcjhsdjchsbjdcgshdcjsdghcjh

idk if it's just me but being bi is sometimes so hard because you have to constantly prove and tell and inform people that you like both and your spectrum can always lean towards opposite gender or not because if you show even a slightest bit more attraction towards opposite gender they'll accuse you of lying and "queerbaiting" but then if you show more comfort and inclinations towards same gender they'll accuse you of lying and protray it as you want to be accepted by heteronormative society it's so weird because if i like a guy i will still have to make it clearest that i infact STILL DO LIKE GIRLS and if i like girls i will have to explain that i am attracted to guys BECAUSE THAT'S JUST WHO I AM not because i need someone's approval and both of them doesn't mean i am a cheater or want threesome

i was telling a funny story to a (cis!!!!!) friend about how one time I held the door for a very masculine, visibly queer person who jokingly said "oh, you're such a gentleman, chivalry isn't dead" to me while I was wearing a pantsuit but still extremely femme and wearing a pride flag pin on my lapel, like... a queer man recognizing a queer woman and saying thank you in the absolute funniest way possible

And I was like, it was so funny because I'm so cis but something about the specific gayness of this exchange made me feel very sexy and comfortable in my skin in a way I think must be similar to what I've heard called gender euphoria

And they will not let it go that maybe I'm actually not cis! And tbh they've brought it up often enough I regret telling the story and debated whether I should even post this lest I get more but like

It feels bad to do something like, slightly GNC like when i say I like wearing suits or I wish I had a dwarf beard to braid and put flowers in, or to have an exchange that gently pokes fun at the gender binary like when I held that door and the funniest gay alive complimented me and I enjoyed it, and be told that these experiences are incompatible with being cis. Like I don't like that I am somehow being framed as contributing to the gender binary because it's "obviously egg behavior" and I must not know myself. And like 90% of it is coming from cis people in my life.

But I also worry if I am complaining about this or whatever it's gonna come off like i am somehow afraid of being perceived as trans, which isn't it at all. If a stranger or a casual acquaintance perceives me as trans I don't care, and I only care about a friend doing it because they should know me, lol. But the insistence on telling me that I MUST be and that I cannot know myself feels a) patronizing, b) cissexist and cisnormative in a gross way, and c) like it is happening to me with increasing frequency, and idk what to do about it. Like I've talked about it before but it really feels regressive that the slightest bit of GNC behavior means you must secretly be trans, especially when like I said it's mostly coming from cis people? Like what a weird way to police the binary. I'm barely even qualifying as GNC when I do these things wtf

I’ve never dated. I’ve fooled around, had sex, but like full romantic love or even crushing on someone not even in high, not once. Zilch. It just was not a priority. I’ve flirted and made out with strangers (to be fair I was usually high AF or drunk), but fallen deeply madly in love? Never. I honestly do not know if I’m even capable of having such feelings for another person. I’ve had close but ultimately short lived friendships. I’m just kinda incapable of intimately connecting platonic or otherwise with the vast majority of people. I also just do not like most people. I’m not an affectionate person, I really don’t even liked to be touched honestly!

And usually this doesn’t bother me so much, but sometimes I just don’t feel all that human sometimes. Like I enjoy romance, sex etc in fiction, and enjoy writing it even too but as something I’ve personally felt or experienced? Nope! and I’m kinda fine never experiencing it or ever having a romantic partner. I barely can keep friends as it is.

So sometimes Valentine’s makes me wistful from seeing cute couples and thinking, “wow it sure looks nice to have a special someone, someone who understands and accepts you”. Not really that I want that exactly, but, I am human, and we are social creatures but again, sometimes I just do not feel very human.

Why is it so hard to date women??? I am one too. This shouldn't be so hard. And yet it really is.

I can get a man without even wanting to or meaning to (it happened unintentionally every time that way when I still dated men now I realized looking back on it). I could do that again but I never really enjoyed it before so I doubt I would like it any better now.

You're supposed to actually enjoy dating, right?

It's not supposed to be like pulling teeth, RIGHT??? :')

(I am trying to stay positive but WOW, this sucks OMG!)
