With Great Power

If ever you wondered why Chelluboina Chitti Babu is every inch the way he is — a steamroller of will, petulance and, oh yes, great strength — you need wonder no more.

eh, they’ll fix it in post

just a lil sketch reference to the latest chapter of With Great Power :]

check under the cut for an explanation to the hands!!

This is a symbol for prayer to the Danville Pantheon as a whole, rather than to the specific deities that make up the pantheon.

The loose, lowered fist is a sign of neutrality to the earth and humanity as a whole. The sign the upper hand is making matters more, though.

If you hold up two fingers, as Stacy is doing here, you’re showing thanks for what the gods have done for you. If you only hold up one finger, you’re asking for something.

A little way to remember it is this: the finger gun is for thanks, the shushing is for pleas.

With Great Power by Triangulum

Summary:

Stiles has known what he is since birth (and before, really), though his father doesn't. He thinks his mother suspected, had an idea that her son wasn't really her son. She was perceptive that way, and Stiles wonders if she maybe had a touch of magic. He thinks that's why when her disease seized her, she screamed that he was evil, that he was trying to kill her. That he wasn't really hers. Everyone had chalked it up to the dementia getting worse, but Stiles wonders how much of it was her being unable to contain her suspicions and letting them run wild. Once Claudia dies, Stiles is truly the only one who knows he's other. That is, until Peter.

Why was this media particularly meaningful to ‘younger you’?

The two films I selected share a common plot theme - young characters face adversity and ultimately achieve success or fulfillment in their own unique ways. The plotlines in these films deviate from conventional happy endings, as neither character attains what the audience initially expected. These realistic stories resonated with me as a young person who was experiencing adversity in her own life. I also favored media depicting teenage protagonists experiencing their lives real-world settings, rather than fantasy or sci-fi genres. I appreciated stories and settings that directly related to my own life experiences, such as Centre Stage. Watching these stories unfold on screen felt like watching my own life, and I frequently rewatched these movies, possibly using them as a way to better understand my own life.

"Spider-Man" was the first feature-length film I ever watched. I was first introduced through the 1967 animated Spider-Man television series by my father. The live-action film became one of my favorites, leading to a Blu-Ray purchase! I cherished this film from childhood through to my adulthood, deeply connecting with the character and the story.Spider-Man undergoes various challenges and life lessons in the film, including grappling with his dual identity, grief, relationship issues, bullying, and the transition from high school to university. I can relate to these struggles, having experienced similar issues during my tween to teen years to varying degrees.

In my childhood, I yearned for superpowers like Spider-Man, expecting to acquire my powers eventually. However, I began experiencing early signs of an anxiety disorder instead. To cope, my father suggested viewing my anxiety as  "spidey-sense," providing yet another comforting link to my favorite superhero film (while also seeking professional help).

"Centre Stage" holds a special place in my heart and was a significant piece of media for my tween self. This film delves into themes like rejection in ballet, navigating relationships, eating disorders, and the struggles faced by dedicated artists. Its portrayal of ballet feels exceptionally authentic compared to many other dance-focused movies. Unlike many dance films that often follow a predictable plot of a ballet dancer longing to break free from ballet, "Centre Stage" stands out because its main character, Jodi, actually aspires for a career in classical ballet and heartbreakingly realizes she needs to transition away from it at the end of the film. Her journey involves struggling with her technical abilities and confidence, a storyline that resonates with me as a dancer who had her own insecurities. Unlike other ballet-focused movies such Darren Aronofsky’s Black Swan or Netflix’s Pretty Little Things, "Centre Stage" focuses on ballet without the need for extreme drama or psychological thrills, making it suitable for teenagers.

This film served as a precursor to my eventual decision to step away from my own aspirations of a professional ballet career. In the final scene, Jodi is shown confronting the School of American Ballet's program director, bravely asking him to not tell her if she was accepted into the company or not, realizing that her unique talents wouldn't be fully recognized in a classical ballet setting. She reclaims her agency by choosing a smaller contemporary dance company where she can thrive as a top-ranking dancer. This powerful moment resonated with me, helping me appreciate my own unique strengths as a dancer and come to terms with my shift away from pursuing ballet professionally.

Ryan Higa was one of the first YouTubers I ever watched. Following the linear-television-to-online-videos pipeline (Steemers, 2021), I became less interested in my usual TV programs and borderline obsessed with YouTube videos around the years 2007 and on. As a teenager, I found traditional TV less engaging and was drawn to the relatable content created by young YouTubers like Higa, who was about 17 at the time he first started posting videos.  Unlike typical television content made by adults portraying their childhood and adolescence fantasies, Higa's videos were refreshing and relatable for young viewers like me (Steemers, 2021). His fast-paced, absurd, and occasionally inappropriate parodies provided a level of humor and relatability that traditional TV lacked. Higa's content became a significant part of my conversations with friends, leaving us with memorable quotes and catchphrases like "Sham-woo-hoo!"

I think it was about a month into dating my betrothed that I first turned to them and said, “You smell hungry, want to get some lunch?”

“I what? I smell hungry?”

“Yeah, like, the empty smell. Aren’t you hungry?”

They were, but it was hard for them to accept smelling a state of being. After a few weeks of me pointing it out right before they realized it themself though they asked, “What does hunger smell like?”

“Bad.”

“That’s not helpful.”

“It’s like… an emptiness that goes past the mouth? Bad breath is more upfront but hunger is like you’re smelling stomach acid, it’s all the way from an empty belly.”

They started smelling my mouth in exaggerated silly fashion but eventually they did start to recognize it.

They’re now very smug when they get to use the skill back at me and inform me that I’m hungry.

seeing people talk about the new animated superman show reminds me that the issue superman's had for the last few decades in mainstream media, which is that too many dudebros assume the point of his character is about his "power". like "oooh look how scary he could be, if superman were real he'd be soooo dangerous" and missing the real truth. the ultimate truth. the actual truth:

superman works because he is a fundamentally very similar character to spider-man.
