the overlay sidebar will stretch to contain quite a lot of text. to edit updates sections, you'll need to edit the html; directions are at the top of the code.
Certain words can change your brain forever and ever so you do have to be very careful about it.
[id: image one is of a group of text boxes connecting to each other with arrows. at the top is a gray text box that say “I want to do this.” There are two arrows pointing down. the arrow on the left points to a green text box that says “do it.” The arrow on the right points to a gray text box that says “but I’m scared.” There is an arrow underneath that text box that points to a green text box that says “do it scared.”

It’s been brought to my attention that the proposed Tumblr blackout is actually going to be harmful for disabled folks, as it removes the ability to have users fix improperly tagged content and will decrease the reach of Disability Pride Month content.
So I’m not going to be stepping away this week.
This is an issue that several people have tried to mention to the one who proposed the blackout, and the message has been repeatedly ignored. Though the blackout had an impact on Reddit, the truth of it is that Tumblr is not Reddit and so we likely need to use different methods.
Please do not join the blackout. It will actually harm those with disabilities, because it will prevent many people from seeing and spreading disability awareness content.
Sorry for the confusion, and thank you for the understanding.
If you people start giving Hobie Brown the Eddie Munson effect I’m going to start killing. His ass would not be listening to arctic monkeys be so fr
i like never do this & im sorry to hijack yr post (especially seeing as you are a person i do not know!!) but another thing im seeing on these playlists is an absolutely abysmal amount of black artists. spider-punk is and has always been a black character, and black people are frequently pushed out of alternative and subcultural spaces, so i’m going to offer some black punk artists i personally enjoy for i guess playlist consideration aimed towards some of the ppl in the notes, although this isn’t definitive & hobie’s taste will of course not necessarily be my own.
also to note before we get into this is that punk is a culture of resistance. hobie in specific (though i don’t know how much of this will be part of his characterization in the spiderverse trilogy going forward—he’s pretty different in atsv, which isn’t a bad thing) has been depicted in the comics as a homeless teenager living under a fascist government. regardless of whether or not that depiction is accurate for this version of hobie is irrelevant for now; the point i’m making is that his attachment to punk is not purely aesthetic in nature. i think keeping the radical aspects of punk in general and of spider-punk in specific in mind are important when discussing the character.
anyway.
death (this one is kind of essential in terms of punk history. they started recording songs under the band name death in 1971 and disbanded in 1977, but their music was only relatively recently properly released. they’ve been occasionally cited as the first punk band ever.)
pure hell (another early & extremely influential punk group, this one from 1974. in contrast with the isolation death operated within, pure hell were heavily involved in the early punk scene.)
bad brains (originally an american jazz group who became punk with a reggae fusion. they cite pure hell as an early influence, which is pretty cool.)
x-ray spex (70s english punk band fronted by poly styrene, whose vocals greatly influenced the later riot grrrl movement. notable for lyrical attacks on commercialism and corporate artifice.)
zulu (i fucking love zulu so much guys you should all listen to zulu right now. they’re frequently described as powerviolence, which is accurate, but they also incorporate elements from various historically black genres, like funk, jazz, & soul. you can listen to one zulu album and get a ton of different musical experiences it rules.)
bob vylan (london-based punk rap duo. to me they’re like the ideal of what punk set out to be in the first place, ideologically speaking. i don’t even know what else to say here. if you’re interested in modern punk and aren’t listening to bob vylan you should be. they’re insanely skilled and deserve to be the center of the conversation.)
this post has gone on long enough you get the gist. & if you actually feel inspired enough to want to make a 100% accurate spider-punk playlist, get into your local scene and see what’s playing there. it’s what he would want, probably.
i’d also recommend big joanie, soul glo, the muslims and minority threat!!
The best type of character is a girl who says “I am a completely normal girl” and the instant you actually learn anything about her it becomes incredibly clear that she is not even remotely normal.
This is gonna sound nuts but trust me on this one. Robots kissing each other scratches a similar itch as t4t. Robot4robot is so so so real to me
Something something Have you ever been desired because of the way your body is put together instead of despite it … knowing your personhood isn’t conditional in their eyes because you’re the same. And you love them and they’re like you so you have to love yourself a little more too. Etc
Also when they fuck it goes clink clank and *dial up modem noise*
my take on the whole “is therapy speak making us selfish” thing is no, it’s not. it’s just giving people who were already selfish some extremely annoying new vocabulary
