Is the web-like stuff normal?
I just know i'm supposed to water it once a week and repot it as soon as i can

the boy you got there has a fleshy body which holds a lot of water.

hence once a week might be total overkill. Cactuses are the perfect NEET plants, basically the happiest if you just forget about them.

I won one on a fair ~7 years ago and half-heartedly placed the little nigger on the window pane, it had some sort of blue blossom on top which was fake and fell off after a while.

Since it was behind my curtains I forgot about it for weeks before I watered it again, and the cycle repeats to this day.
Did repot it though since the small shit they gave it to me in refused to stand up after some time.

Now the main cactus shriveled after blossoming for 6 straight years (in red btw), but it left me with three smaller bros which now reside in a huge ass pot, still on a window pane where I remember them like once a month when I pay rent and clean the windows.

dont water it a lot. wait for the soil to be totally dry. if you overwater it it will either rot from the roots or split open.
put it outside if its not freezing, most desert cacti like full sun.

I got a pot with a variety of cacti from a gf. When we broke up I just stopped watering it because I didn't want anything around to remember her by, so I figured I'd just let it die.
One of the cacti lived for like 2 goddamn years before it finally gave up.

Thank you all, i hope this buddy grows well and healthy. I've been told it's supposed to bloom in a few months.

Also, when you repot it, you should get some succulent/cacti soil. It will drain a LOT better, and that will reduce root rot, which kills a lot of succulents and cacti.
Good luck mate.
