In time, not your name nor face shall be remembered
But, in time, earth will remember
It will remember the way you generously gave
The way you held the hands of the rabbits and insects and grass alike, nurturing a paradise of green
The way you give back, rather than take away
It will cherish the days when, under cool damp earth, you led the worms into your heart, and embraced them with your lungs
Though for now, when you are above, not yet below
The earth expects you to cherish it still
Because, like every other ‘thing’ on this planet
The earth is your home
Nobody wants a trash filled home
So then, even if you can only clean a small corner of your ‘room’
Clean it
Mother Earth will be proud
Live Long, You Beautiful Corpse

I think one of the biggest differences between my vision of Miles G and the general fandom is how I see him interacting with other people. Because, honestly, I don't think he would be... rude. At all. I mean, I'm not taking away from his Brooklyn slang or his experience in the criminal streets. I don't mean he doesn't have triggers that would make him loose himself and be rightfully pissed off because of it. Just like 1610 or any other traumatized person would do.
It just doesn't mean in my mind that he would swear a lot or behave aggressively.
Given the environment in which he grew up for most of his life, none of this would have led to an unreasonable outburst of anger or disrespect.
Look, in ATSV, we have already seen how Rio (remember, his main and only parent) is quite sensitive and serious about the vocabulary her son uses. Take the same moment with "whatever," her reaction was quite strong, primarily because such vocabulary in response to an important speech was hardly something she would want to instill in her child. And, realizing that Miles G will clearly receive even more advice and instruction from her in his later years than his 1610 counterpart, I don't think the strong guidance on his own behavior in social circles would have disappeared quickly even in the worst of worlds. That's why I hc him being more polite that 1610 from time to time — Rio's lessons seems quite strong and unbeatable.
And also about Aaron - as much as people like to hold him up as an example of a "bad influence" on his nephew, he is NOT a bad person. Seriously, the worst thing he did to Miles in the first movie was probably that "hey" trick. Yes, his work as the Prowler wasn't nice or morally right, but we were made to understand that he never meant Miles any harm.
(Did you see the deleted scene from ITSV where Aaron almost literally tells Jeffernos that he doesn't want Miles to end up "like him"?) He would be just about the last person on the list of people who would teach a child to smoke or swear violently, let's be honest.
(I'm not American and I'm not from Brooklyn, so I wouldn't mind if someone corrected me on that part).
However, as a person who knows the belligerent and disturbing atmosphere in my city, it seems to me that you should be cautious rather than angry here. Except for the Prowler, of course: Miles has a little more freedom here and a literal need to be fast and scary, so he deserves a little Spanish swearing in the face of a conventional Octavius.
But if you take, for example, a normal civilian going out and shopping, I don't think that in a world full of crime, Miles G will be looking for a fight. In such cases, you always have to look and know what to say, and who it is better not to approach at all, because the person, for example, may have a gun. Of course, if someone openly insults or threatens him, he can defend himself easily, but in other cases, you need to be even more polite and quiet than usual. His goal is to buy the damn milk and leave, so if he has to say "excuse me, please" to some man at the checkout, nothing terrible will happen. If you ask me, this kind of communication with silent strangers is probably the first thing that comes to mind, but it depends on your perspective.
And the last thing is that he is a child - no 15-year-old teenager with a desire to help his family and psychological isolation will drink alcohol or be angry with all the people in the world. Thank you.

you know in terms of the whole body image journey thing, it has been a HUGE relief to be TOLD by my doctor that it was a good thing I gained weight. She was like girl you WERE lighter in high school and that wasn't..... a good thing (paraphrased.... my doctor does not talk like this lol). You're a healthy weight now and I want you to maintain this. Do NOT try to lose any more weight. And I was like okay that's actually......... that really helps, actually. First of all being told to my face that I don't have to lose weight but also that I shouldn't be focusing on going back to what I looked like in high school. It really helped with realising that I should be focusing more on whether or not my body is healthy and functioning and strong.

Hello there, my wonderful 💠 anon.
Mother Earth, while she's handed me quite a few difficulties to deal with, she's been kind enough to let me prosper as much as I can in this life.
As for me, I'm alright. While these past few days and weeks have taken quite the toll on my mental and physical health, I'm still here, and that's what matters.
And thank you for your kind words. I uhm- I say this a lot to people, but I want you to know I'm being as honest as i can be when I say you have no idea how much your words mean to me. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, thank you.
