bro i luv spider-punk but i specifically wanna talk about his hair
[image description: a gif from Across the Spider-verse of Hobie, without his mask, saying: "I was this cool the whole time." End image description]
he. has. wicks!!!
the origin of wick dreadlocks is florida usa, and are named due to the resemblance to a "candle wick" because of how they stick straight up and/or out!
now, wicks have a bad reputation even within the loc community.
its already known that like if you got dreads, generally, ppl think u are unkempt, and dirty, and things of that nature, but there is even more discrimination against wicks its unreal. like legit yall i cant even begin to explain the nasty shit ppl say about them because i will be sad.
its kinda just considered the "crazy Florida man hairstyle". and a lot of the hate is due to the fact that wicks, appear "unkempt" or things of that nature
there has been a lot of texturism in the loc community which has brought with it the idea that dreads need to be retwisted to be "properly" taken care of, and need to be flat on your head and all these other things that often bring with it the need to hide your natural hair. i get unsolicited advice on my hair all the time telling me "i need a retwist" because of the belief that black hair needs to be all tidy and stuff to be respected.
but the thing is, dreads aren't meant to be all neat and tidy all the time y'know. its black hair in one of its most natural forms. and who better to showcase that than hobie brown, spider punk?
wicks kinda go against everything that dreads are "supposed" to be and "supposed" to look like.
i just love everything about this movie but i especially wanted to like talk about this hair choice. hair most def has meaning, especially black hair, so i think this was a really cool and fitting design choice for his character and everything he represents.
(i did my best to like articulate my thoughts but hopefully this makes at least a bit a sense)

💚🤍--- THE DEMO IS GETTING ME SO HYPED
Spoilers ahead:
"Goodbye bf. I'll be back"
DUDE MOOMINTROLL WAS TEARING UP. Moomin please don't worry 😭
Awww Teety-Woo <333
NO INSPRIATION. Mood fr fr
But being real, I actually really like how the level system works. Finding some inspiration in nature <3
Okay one critique: A small tutorial how to enter and, most importantly, get out of the bush. At first I was struggling trying to get out. I was able to figure out that you need to hold. Personally a quick message in the bottom would have helped me.
But I love the music during this part. It was both smooth but also intense!
AAAA I love how these guys were following Snufkin. They made such silly duck noises.
Files:
Now I was looking into the files and found some .band files with character names. I don't know much about .band files but I'm theorizing that we might see a quick interaction with them and these are their assets/music files.
I'm gonna look more into .band files but if anyone has better knowledge on this I would love to know!
💚🤍Closing thoughts:
GUYS GUYS GUYS PLEASE SUPPORT THIS GAME WHEN IT COMES OUT! TRY OUT THE DEMO! TEST IT!

It's in my bio, but I thought I'd make an actual proper post after being so busy all week
I appreciate all of the love the first post of Never-emotes got, and when I get the time (most likely somewhere in February?) I'd like to make more!
Though I'd appreciate some ideas whether it would be in my asks, or in the comments of either the og or this post :)
Perferably, I'd like to do a character I haven't drawn yet:
Eulalie (human or spectre)
Bernice (human or spectre)
Merry and/or Mourn
Pluto's human form
Monty, Annabel, Ada, Will, or Morella's spectre forms
Whisp
Molly
Poppett
The raven
These are the ones I can think of, but feel free to ask abt anyone I haven't mentioned!!
(And nothing overly suggestive, please)
----
Keeping track of any requests here for my sake:
Will (hungry)
Theo (Tree murder, burning)
Monty Spectre (flipping off)
Morella spectre (??)
