As much as I’m enjoying arcane s2 with act 2 now out…. I can’t shake how clearly they needed an extra season 😭 there’s a little too much too fast for almost every plot point currently going on and I can’t even tell how long the time skip was ,, it makes it so so hard for me to feel every scene the way i knowww they intended it to hit :n;;; I only was able to really feel emotions again when I willed away my frustrations for how everything this season was introduced ,,, and sure no show is perfect but ,, I didn’t need to do that s1 ,, each act was satisfying ,,, and the show was perfect at weaving the plots together :,) I just wanted the same continued storytelling quality :,,)) wa

Arcane shower thought #29584

Mel still has makeup on when she wakes up after her nightmare, implying that when her and Jayce spend the night together they go straight to pillow fighting and fall asleep right after

I hate it when fans of a series pair every male character up with another male character. First, because ... statistically, that just feels a tad ridiculous. But over time, I've come to realize that my actual problem with it is that it erases male friendship and sort of panders to the toxic culture that tells boys that feelings == gayness. I feel like it's so much more compelling when you have the ship that the main love story in your fic is about, but then have those supporting relationships fall into a range of experiences. And, sure, maybe within that range some of them are also romantic/sexual, but not ALL of them. Men should be allowed to have meaningful and intimate relationships with one another without it immediately being a couple thing. Especially if all the couple dynamics are overloaded with heteronormative references. Like that's even worse! When they're all gay, but yet all the gay romances ALSO pattern match the structures and roles of straight romances. It's just a taste thing. Write and read what makes you happy, but this kind of stuff always makes me a bit sad as a lover of fanfiction. Male friendship is so much more interesting to me. It's sad to lose that nuance.

thoughts no one asked for but my mind has no mouth and must scream

At the beach with Miguel and Spider Gang (Miles, Hobie, Gwen, Pavitr, Peter and MJ and Mayday)

Rating: G

Word Count: 1.2K

Tags: Spider dad vibes, beach, food, established relationship with Miguel, GN!Reader, mention of reader in swimwear but nothing specific

Notes: Wrote these up kinda quick!

Nevermind how you and Peter convinced Miguel to go to the beach with you guys, you're just glad he's open to doing something fun!

Miguel is prepared. He's got a checklist of everything you guys need and definitely keeps a first aid kit handy.

He is supervising that everyone has on their sunscreen, bugspray, and what have you because he'll be damned if you guys head back to HQ and one of you can't function because of a little sunburn. (Lowkey he just cares though.) He even brought infant/toddler specific sunscreen for Mayday.

Miguel's eyes are sensitive to light so he's got his sunglasses on! And Peter forgot Mayday's hat, but Miguel already brought one for her just in case. It's not that Miguel doubts Peter, he just likes to help.

"Oh, darn," Peter says. "Guys, has anyone seen Mayday's hat? It's pink with little flowers and-" "Honey, I think you left it on the couch?" Mary Jane says. "I think you're right," Peter sighs. "Well, looks like you're stuck with me under the umbrella, kiddo!" "Peter." Peter looks to Miguel who's just got that impassive expression of his as he holds out an infant size hat. It's stylized like the classic Spider suit (red/blue with white web motif). Peter smiles and takes the hat and as much as he wants to give Miguel a hard time about being a softie he spares him. This time!

When Miguel sees you come out in your swim outfit (if this is his first time seeing you in it), he's thankful for the sunglasses because he's not taking his eyes off you. Immediately wants to hold your hand, put his arm around your waist or *something*. He needs some kind of physical contact with your body and his.

Miles, Hobie, Pavitr, and Gwen will waste no time getting in the water.

Miguel will take it upon himself to set up the chairs, umbrellas, and everything else. He's not going to ask for help and will just grumble about it the whole time. Of course, you guys step in to help. You and Mary Jane take over bringing the rest of the stuff from the vehicle while Peter and Miguel set up a little pool area for Mayday.

Once everything is set up, the adults can hit the water!

Miguel does not show it often, but he can be mischievous at times. He'll swim underwater and sneak up on you and if you're on a floatie there's a 50/50 chance he will flip you over.

At some point, it's just you and Mary Jane in the water while the others are off doing their thing. Miguel makes it a point to join Peter and Mayday to help keep them company. He actually smiles a bit when Mayday splashes him and he does play with her. You and Mary Jane just watch in amusement.

Mayday hands her dad a little crab toy and hands a shark to Miguel. Miguel makes little "rah-rah" noises and pretends the shark "bites" Mayday and she giggles. Peter lets the intrusive thoughts win and he proceeds to squish the crab revealing that it squirts water and it does so right in Miguel's face.

"Really, Peter?"

A little while later and you guys are all back on shore; you and Mary Jane catch some sun and relax in the lounge chairs and the rest are making sand castles. Gwen and Miles work together to build one and theirs looks a little clumsy, but they're having fun. Hobie and Pavitr have the most visually pleasing looking sand castle complete with seashell decor. Miguel and Peter are taking this VERY seriously and are making a very large and structurally sound sand castle complete with multiple battlements and a moat.

For food, Miguel made sure to pack a variety of snacks and drinks for everyone to have throughout the day; there's plenty of fruit (he brought some tajin to spice it up!) There's chips, paletas, agua frescas, chicharrones, pan dulce, and what have you. You stayed up the night before packing everything into the coolers and ice chests. For food there's all kinds of fixings for tortas that way everyone can have them the way they like. Miguel packed plenty forgetting that not everyone has the hefty appetite he does, but he also rather he bring too much than not enough for everyone.

Miles is the one who suggests that you guys play volleyball and if you didn't know before, you learn that Miguel can get competitive. Hobie and Pavitr take a turn hanging with Mayday and Hobie jams on his guitar. The teams are Peter, Mary Jane, and Miles versus you, Miguel, and Gwen. If you're not a Spider-person then you and Mary Jane are the outliers among the group. The gang don't even realize they're using their spider abilities to play and it's best if the two of you back away slowly.

The team opposite of you got a point on your team and were gloating a little too much for Miguel's liking and Spider-Man 2099 felt it was an appropriate time to humble them. To say Miguel's serves are aggressive is an understatement.

During the game, Miguel's claws came out, much to his embarrassment, and they popped the ball.

You packed a spare.

When everyone returns to have fun in the water, you stay behind to comfort Miguel a bit. He's still a little sore about the volleyball incident.

Taking a break from the water, you sit under the umbrella on a towel next to where Mayday is and Miguel will come over and lay next to you and rest his head in your lap. You run your fingers through his hair and he starts to doze off for a minute.

He's been very busy trying to facilitate the outing at the beach despite you trying to tell him to hang back and let everyone else help out. He just can't help but take up the responsibilities.

Peter and Mary Jane brought supplies for s'mores!

You guys get a fire going as the sun goes down and enjoy some!

Miguel's never actually made a real s'more. He's had s'more flavored things and always found them too sweet for his liking, but he's willing to give this a go.

"Miguel, you have to leave the marshmallow in the fire longer than that!" You instruct trying to help guide the skewer back into the flames. "Is it supposed to be burnt??" "Just a little," you chuckle. "That's what makes it soft on the inside. It tastes fine, don't worry." You help him construct the s'more and he takes a bite. "Ay dios!" He says with a mouthful of s'more as the marshmallow squishes out the sides and gets on his hands.

As the day comes to a close, everyone helps clean up and bids each other goodbye.

It's just you and Miguel left on the beach and the two of you take a moment to enjoy the quiet of the night, the view of all the stars, and the sound of the waves on the shore before deciding to head back home.

Lexy🌼 ♡︎︎ (the ? time i've edited my simself)

tumblr is my favorite app for sharing sims content because I feel the least amount of pressure. I don't care about how many notes or reblogs I get, I'm just posting my sims because I think they're so cute and interesting and even if no one interacts I still have fun ♡︎︎

Not sure I want rednote, mostly because another app and I am a tired 30something now. I still have 100+ drafts that I need to download and while I scheduled most of my old videos to youtube... some of them are not the yt or insta vibe. So do I just post them here?

Oh my god Arcane makes me finally understand the point of Native Son.

I know that sounds kinda stupid but I read the book as a younger teen and I didn’t really “get” it- if you haven’t read it, it’s about a black teen who accidentally killed a white woman in 1930s Chicago.

There are a ton of differences ofc but “people who are capable of unthinkable things are a product of systems that trap and oppress them” is a common message.

<going on a tangent>

Also, the way that Bessie was treated in this book was probably first exposure to misogynoir.

She was raped and murdered but her suffering was only used as a tool to get justice for the “pure and innocent white woman” who was killed by the “brutish black man.” Rolling in her corpse in the courtroom as a spectacle yet having no true empathy for her as a human being, being degraded even in death... Was reminded of this after *that* fanfic about Mel was brought to light.

Anyways, I’d recommend giving it a read if you liked the themes around class struggles in Arcane.

Broke: Merlin is a royalist because he is a class traitor boot licker

Woke: Merlin is a royalist because he was raised a peasant in the sixth century and he has the perspective and values typical of that time period on top of his personal experiences with Arthur to give him faith in the enlightened despotism favored by Catherine the Great and Frederick of Prussia.

Bespoke: Merlin is a royalist because anyone who had to live through both the English Civil War and Voltaire's exile to Britain would come out the other side thinking democracy is stupid.

Transcendent: Merlin is not a royalist. He is the divine right of kings in human form. The avatar of Albion and its magic. He does not believe in kings because of Arthur. He believes in Arthur so Arthur gets to be king.

Just a tiny bit 'bout Doctor Who: The Runaway Bride

Donna's dad is still alive??? I thought she only had her mom and gramps🤔

Lance is definitely not my favourite character.

10th and Donna are such an iconic duo, I miss them dearly.

The idea of having a ton of spiders in the center of the Earth is 🤢.

I forgot how pretty David Tennant is when I got to 11th. Just look at him. So beautiful. The smile gets me every time.

i pray for the day people learn you can be vulnerable and intimate with someone in a platonic way. there are such things as connections that aren’t indicative of a romantic love interest.
