Here’s what makes sense to me: on the second part, Peter Parker(Spiderman) is kissing Mary Jane upside-down(from the movie scene). Even if the meaning isn’t kissing, cuddling can be related.

This character has the hand radical, and when you hug someone you wrap your arms around them (which are connected to your hands). Also, the radical on the right looks looks nearly like the mouth radical being wrapped around by two arms, as if the mouth radical is being comforted.

It is composed of the radical 扌on the left side, which represents the hand or action, and the character 包 on the right side, which can mean “bag” or “wrap”. Together, they form a character that literally means “to carry”, but it’s more commonly used to mean “to hug” or “to embrace”.

抱 combines 手 (hand) and 包 (wrap). Picture hands wrapping around someone in a warm hug.

This character has the hand radical and the character that means to wrap. So think of it, as you hugging a package with your hands

I remember this as the top right side character wrapping over the bottom right of the character like it is giving a hug.
