...Funny how much time a little over a year can do. From June 22, 2022 to today, December 11, 2023 — that was how long it took to get Big Robin to Level 120. It was a lot, from splitting up grails between him, Art-san, and Achi, dealing with two family deaths in that span of time, and transitioning from one job to another, but if there's one thing I can take from it?
Big Robin is the biggest he can ever be until the next update. And as a girl who grew up with the Disney version and found herself loving the Fate version to no tomorrow, this is the least I can do to show my gratitude.
I love you, Big Robin. I love you so much. Thank you for being you. :)

listen there really was just something about how in the book, snow’s 3-page descent from hesitant lover boy to deluded psychopath happens entirely in his mind. lucy gray gives him no indication whatsoever that she suspects him, that she’s going to leave or betray him. he’s just sitting quietly in the cabin waiting for her to return when that seed of calculated suspicion, which he has needed to survive the capitol, takes a hold of him and chokes the life out of any goodness left inside him. it really drives home your terror as a reader that “oh my god did he kill her? did she escape? what happened to her? why would he even think that?” in a way that when the movie had to adjust for visualization it lost some of that holy shit this guy has lost it emphasis.

Truly believe part of why Riz Gukgak is such a great character is that Murph commits to him being a scrunkly little goblin weirdo. He hisses at people he doesn't like. He canonically has claws and little pointy goblin teeth. He eats everything and admits to dumpster diving. He scurries around in the shadows. He threatens to eat his enemies and then shoots their fingers off. He climbs and hides in people's backpacks and under tables and up cranes. He's canonically like under 4 foot. He eats like a menace. He tries to steal Fabian's shoes. But, simultaneously, he's an very polite, very formal, nerdy little guy who goes around in his silly little waistcoat, and silly little newsboy cap, with his silly little briefcase, and loves his mum and his friends, and buys his bestie a Christmas BFF necklace in April and drinks too much coffee, and visits his dad's grave regularly, and wants to be a detective just like his mum, and he's a sweetheart who wants more than anything to do the right thing and protect his friends. Truly the character of all time. Absolutely brilliant. No notes. Also he's aroace and has a gun.

satoru physically withers and crumbles every time you return his belongings. he doesn’t know how to tell you that he can only accidentally on purpose leave his glasses on your nightstand, or his jacket on your couch, or his shirt in your laundry so many times before he loses his mind. every time you don’t take he bait, he folds into himself and wonders why you don’t love him anymore and it costs him $22.50 to hear ieiri tell him to suck it up and use his words because he literally has to buy her company (and drinks).
but when you do take the bait, when you do wear his things, satoru thinks it’s all worth it. he can’t explain why it does what it does to him. it’s a sinister kind of possession he wants to have over you, knowing you’re your own person, free to do as you please, but also knowing you’re caged in him. it’s a lovesick kind of gooeyness that melts his heart seeing you fumble with the sleeves of a sweater that’s too long for you. it’s the vision of you seeing you drowning in him—in his clothes, in his things, in him, in him, in him. he’s selfish, he wants to consume you in as many ways as possible, wants you to drown in him, would die happily knowing you were one tenth as enraptured by him as he is with you. he doesn’t know how or why or when you gained so much power over him, but he doesn’t care, he doesn’t want you to ever stop, so if he has to keep pretending to leave his clothes and bags and glasses around then so be it.

someone probably said this already but in spiderverse i think it's interesting how when pavitr was first introduced everyone thought something bad was gonna happen to him bc of how confident and optimistic he was. and then in the actual movie we see that something bad was supposed to happen to him (police chief dying!) but it doesn't! miles stops it! and miguel berates miles for this, says it's going to cause the universe to collapse or whatever.
there's this idea that tragedy is inherent to spidermans growth, and while it's true that some spiderpeople learn important lessons through loss, no one stops to ask, is it really necessary? yeah, maybe the chief was supposed to die. but why does spiderman have to be formed through tragedy? why do we (as heroes) have to let people die? pavitr didn't lose anyone, and he's still a good spiderman! maybe, if he doesn't suffer, he'll end up better off for it!
so while miguel is arguing for all this big picture stuff about saving the multiverse he's lost sight of what it really means to be a spiderman, he's not looking out for the real individual people. yeah it's just one person who would die, but that one person means something to someone. shrugging and saying "stuff just sucks sometimes, we can't do anything about it" is the opposite of what superheroes do. pretty obviously, miles arc is also a reflection of the struggles people face in real life, working within unequal systems, where it's easy to shrug and say "that's just the way it is" and not ask "but why does it need be this way? can't we do something about it?"
miguel is arguing that you can't have your cake and eat it too. presumably, miles and co. are going to find a way to get around that and change things for the better (and maybe that's why miles has that line about two cakes in the advisors office!)
