I'm having such an issue w honorifics rn 😭😭 my (distant) cousin I refer to as "older sister" because when I was born shes was a teenager and it's weird to call a 16yr old "aunt" (but technically thats what she is). Anyway, she got married recently, and I automatically deigned to call HIM "uncle" because they're in their 30s now. But now she's "older sister" and he's "uncle" ??? 😭 Pls help

I also have another distant cousin that's an "older sister" but should be an aunt- and she's dating a guy that I call "older brother" even though they're similar ages to the former couple, but I physically could not call him "uncle" because the first (and only) time I met him was at a wedding and he was so goofy and silly and spent the entire time playing w us kids 😭😭 like thats older brother behaviour sorry (also he doesnt even look that old...)

BUT NOW I FEEL BAD BC THE ONLY ONE WITH AN OLDER HONORIFIC IS THE UNCLE THAT MARRIED IN 😭😭😭

Anyway this whole issue matters so much because I need to text the older brother boyfriend guy. The big problem is, he doesn't speak our language as he's from a different place. And now I can't tell if I should call him by the honorific of a language he doesn't know? Or just call him by his name or not refer to him at all which sounds awful to me.

Maybe this is why my family is so intent on keeping marriages within the community I wouldn't be having an issue 😭

I changed up my altar :)

This was really because I fell out of the habit of saying my affirmations in front of my previous altar, so I thought change would be useful and might motivate me more. I don't really blame myself for falling out of the habit previously though. I used to sleep very late when it happened, and I would get up wayy early to say the affirmations.

It's still a self love altar, but I believe self love can take different forms and one form is working towards the goals I set.

What is on my altar:

A normal white candle. I have plenty of these in my house and decided to let it be simple.

A luck/prosperity spell bowl, which I made with salt and herbs in my kitchen. I also added a special coin.

The previous self-love sigil

The bracelet I had enchanted

A lucky coin which is like a mini luck spell, I carry it around.

Rainbow fluorite, which my sister gave to me, it increases focus

The shells from my previous altar because I love those shells

A self love bottle spell

For some reason I also feel more connected to my culture. Maybe it's because of the visuals. White is an important colour in Kerala and is the colour our traditional clothes are in. Kerala is always so full of greenery, hence the green herbs on the bowl. I also used the spices in my kitchen for this, which adds to the feeling.

what do you think fry's family is like!!! i love him sooo much every time you draw him it's like a gift 🥺🥺🥺

WAUGHGHGHJ these Fry questions make me so happy since he's my Blorbo(TM) <3 Gah I'm itching to talk about him, so ask and you shall deserve!! Also thank you SO much I'm so glad you love my art <33

little sketches related to what I'm about to yap about. ANYWAYS here's wonderwall

So on my old account I used to hc he is Indian-British, whose family hails from Travancore (Kerala nowadays). This was based on what I ASSUMED was canon info since back in January, all Chicken Run wiki articles about him mentioned he's Indian-British. But apparently that's not 100% settled info what his ethnicity is?? And the wikis have been edited since. His VA Nick Mohammed is from a mixed Cypriot/Indo-Trinidadian family though and I spent time reading about Indian-British immigrant history to get Fry's characterization accurate, so imma keep with that hc.

Anyway! I headcanon Marcus is the only child of wealthy businessmen that owned a highly successful trade company. His Vaishya grandparents moved to Britain during the late Victorian era; after all one of the only ways a PoC family could make it back then in Britain was by being filthy rich, and very early on the Fry family had been forced to adopt a "British" way of living in order to be taken seriously by the shitass imperial society. Such as switching to a British surname and avoiding to display too much of their original culture in public. A colonial trauma that still prevails, since Fry's parents christened him with a heavily English name.

I REEEALLY wanna give a try to designing Fry's parents sometime!! But I imagine his parents as sort of a healthier parallel to Melisha's parents; his father is a pristine and calm gentleman with a soothing voice and a love for theatre and literature (a trait that Marcus inherited LMAO) while his mother is more stern, headstrong and very, VERY proud of her status. (but she also has a infectuous smile and laughter and has a bombastic overdramatic streak...something that Fry inherited as well)

They're both native Malayam speakers, and while their family in public strives to keep Keralite culture hidden, they made sure to teach Marcus to speak his native language fluently as well, along with Hindi, Bengali, Tegulu and Tamil. Along with that, they frequently go on family trips to Travancore and enjoy things like inji neer, Kathakali performances (which inspired Fry on his love for theatre <3) and Carnatic music.

Both parents pushed Marcus to study hard and gain multiple academic degrees - it was all out of love and concern, because they wanted Marcus to be able to survive in the cruel world out there without only relying on his money. (Once again, a PoC immigrant family experience that I can identify with as well... even if society nowadays is not nearly as racist as it was back then, unfortunately PoC people are often forced to study waaaay harder than white people in order to make it.) Because they had lived through the years of great depression in the 1930s, and while they managed to survive with most of their wealth intact, they knew that one should not rely only on money for support since anything could happen.

Fry, as a child, was a gifted A+ grade student and a very well-behaved, so his parents called him a little ray of sunshine and a future hope. He yearned to be perfect so his parents would never be disappointed in him. Something that later on contributed MASSIVELY to Fry's gifted child burnout, and how he adopted a sinister, sadistic fascination with mind control and manipulation during his Cambridge years.

Once Marcus came out as trans and genderfluid to his parents, his father was very patient and accepting, but his mother spent several years in denial before finally accepting him. Not directly out of transphobia - but because she was afraid that Marcus would be discriminated, attacked and hurt by people, and that he should focus first on building a career for himself instead of bringing a bad name to the Fry family like this, with an outrageous gender identity. But she soon realized that hiding himself would only hurt her child on the long run. Also - the way Fry managed to fully bribe (cough mind control cough) British officials to switch the gender in his personal info and passport was nothing less than impressive to both of his parents LMFAOOOO and they're very proud

However despite all of this, Fry retains a loving relationship to his parents!! He goes to their mansion every Christmas, and they're also VERY accepting and encouraging to his marriage to Melisha. In fact, his mom was relieved to see Fry had married a very orderly, stern and no-nonsense woman, because Marcus had always been a scatterbrained mess and a reckless money-spender. He made a wonderful scientist, but business-running had never been his thing, so Melisha taking care of all that is like a lottery win to the Fry parents. ESPECIALLY since Melisha came from a poor household - a woman like this, who knows what it's like to live at the rock bottom, surely knows to keep Marcus humble and not let him make flimsy business decisions!! (either way Melisha is still a bit intimidated by Fry's mom, which says a lot considering what kind of a girl Melisha herself is LMFAO)

Pluuuus... the Harsh Expectations(TM) is something that Melisha can relate to </3 It's something that catches her entirely off guard, when she learns this detail about Fry's past. After all, the silly goofy doctor is like an endless ray of sunshine, he's rich and successful. (and we all know what Melisha's mother told her about money bringing happiness...) How could he ever have any worries or feelings of inferiority??

It's a detail that makes (in my hcs) Melisha fall even deeper in love with Fry and become tenfold more protective over him :''') <3 Once she realizes what a horrific burden this goofball is carrying on his back, and yet he still finds the energy every day to stay positive, be optimistic and support Melisha during her hard days.

random spiderverse headcanons !! (I'm bored):

Hobie definitely uses more product in his hair than Pavitr, idk WHAT some of you are on about 😭 that is a Black man with wicks

He makes his own products most likely or just steals shit

Speaking of. I'd like to think that Hobie does most shit on his own if he can't get it via bartering or something. Bro is EXCELLENT with a sewing machine

Because in his dimension it's still 1978 he knows fuck-all about social media. The only app on his phone is whatsapp and he'd like to keep it that way

The other spider kids have to explain memes to him

I don't have too many thoughts about Gwen but I hc her as a transfem lesbian/sapphic. I mean who doesn't atp look at her 😭

I've been told that ppl hc Pavitr as being half Keralite (I hope that spelling is correct). So I have also adopted that hc

Pavitr stay with a skincare mask on even though his skin is clear. He likes the texture when you first put it on before it dries

He will remember everything everyone has ever said to him but can't locate the hairbrush he put down five seconds ago (it's in his hand)

Hobie can take two songs from damn near opposing genres and create the perfect transition between them when he's djing. No one knows how he does it (autism)

He and Miles bond over sending each other new music

Hobie owns physical versions of everything. He will pirate music and burn it onto a CD if he has to

Speaking of Miles. That kid is soooo normal about music he will break down every single layer and ad-lib of every song he hears

Very annoying about different headphones and their sound quality

As the movie implies. Margo enjoys switching up her hair and outfits

Considers changing her entire wardrobe when she's bored

Insane at coding websites

Has an unhealthy amount of mobile games on her phone

Plays extremely niche video games that she tells no one about

Eerily good at Overwatch

That's it 😭 uhh nothing more to say here if you have anything to add on feel free to leave it in the tags or replies!
