#GWEN HATERS HOWEVER

[the-cat-and-the-birdie]

Gwen-haters:

Me: Ayo Peter B. is a horrible person

Gwen-haters:

fuck Peter B. Parker all my Hobies hate Peter B. Parker (not a typo)

[flameobitch]

AU is inspired by Renata Litvinova, a director and actress, and Zemfira, a rock singer. I am a fan of their creativity and my brain could not help but generate such an alter reality!

• Pippa is the Supreme Witch (I don't like the version with the Great Sorceress, it's the lot of men to call themselves something great as such without being).

• Hecate is an ethno-rock singer whose creativity is directed at the culture of ancient traditional witches and their rituals. Despite her 20-year career, no one knows anything more than her name.

• There was no Azura and imprisonment in this universe, Gwen was Hecate's mentor, and Pippa pushed her to write songs.

• Pippa goes to all of Hecate's concerts and the witch community shouts about their strong friendship at all. However, the media are confident in their affair, creating the only black spot in the reputation of the politician with rumors.

• Officially, Pippa is married to Joy Hardbroom, the head of the Hardbroom clan, the most influential family on the list of ten. Joy appears only in a couple with his wife and leads a closed lifestyle.

• Pippa has been the Supreme Witch for the last 5 years and conducts programs to support witches from human families and raise the level of magic.

• Gwen and Hecate's team are the only people who know about their marriage.

• Almost every song of Hecate is dedicated to Pippa, which gives rise to these rumors about the novel. Joy is not going to comment on anything.

• Hecate's repertoire and her voice are something in between Zemfira and Sounduk. Listen for the sake of interest to "Прогулка", "Крым", "Жить в твоей голове" (Zemfira) and "Лето", "Герой", "Считалка", "ВММ" (Sounduk)

• Pippa is tired of dealing with the press.

• Therefore, Hecate avoids society.

• Pippa likes to be photographed.

• Hecate can't stand it. But for Pippa's sake he will suffer.

• Hecate has a lot of tattoos, but there is a bright pink pentagram and a bottle with Latin hieroglyphs.

• Pippa collects Hecate's outfits for concerts. On the exits with Pippa, Joy chooses her own clothes. Most often it looks like a widow murdered in the Middle Ages.

• Pippa puts up Hecate's home photos and marks different accounts (separately Hecate and separately Joy) under different photos so that people just know that she is still alive.

• Pippa's accounts are kept by publicists, but the texts of the posts are written by Pippa herself.

• Hecate doesn't know how to run social networks. But she actively monitors the accounts of a few friends and is rude to his haters.

TD Heather character analysis

I’ll start off by saying that little me was a hater. I did not like Heather at all I thought she was an awful person and one of the reasons why was because Gwen was my only favorite.

However now that I’m older and have had time to grow I see her a bit more clearly now and find her very relatable now and have realized that 8 yr old me was projecting very hard. The perfect way to explain that with a few worlds is the saying:

“Hurt people hurt other people”

At the time I found the show I was living at a hospital while a family member was dying and I was mean to many people for no reason because of my grief. I’ll admit I acted a lot like Heather.

Being in a household with a lot of siblings that don’t look out for each other but instead stick to the rule “every man for themselves” she has to fight and survive to get attention, approval and basic needs form her parents. From what we’ve heard from Heather about her siblings they don’t exactly seem to be a walk in the park either. When she describes her brother Damien he seems to be pretty misbehaved as well, so leads to the conclusion that it’s not just her who acts like this. It’s because of living in a dysfunctional home where all she can do to feel safety and not judged is to be in constant survival mode along with having to defend herself from her own damn family is why she’s so used to being the mean, spoiled brat we see her as throughout the show. She’s not allowed to show vulnerability in a place that she’s supposed to call home, with people who are supposed to love her unconditionally regardless of her failures, emotions & flaws. We can’t expect her to be a nice person and to be vulnerable enough to create relationships outside of the house if she’s not allowed to do it at home. We can’t expect it because not only is she not shown it but she’s not welcomed to experiment and show it herself to others in a place and with people who are suppose to be her stronghold and foundation. Children learn from example, if you don’t show them them love or care they aren’t gonna do it in return or to anyone else for that matter.

So of course when she’s placed on an island with complete strangers, she switches her survival mode on to the max. Blocking them out before any of them can get to her and damage her even more than she is.

All Heather was ever really taught in her life was “Do whatever it takes to achieve your goal. No matter the cost.” Let the cost be losing friends, public humiliation, being hated by all the people she knows, sacrificing her feelings for the guy she loves all so she can reach her goal aka the million dollars. But then she’s left with the thought of what happens next. What happens after she gets what she wants? She gets her goal and yet she still is ignored by the people that she wants approval from (her parents) .

When she was sobbing on that volcano, what did she say? She said,

“I worked so hard”.

That is a phrase, a plead, a person gives when they are so tired of making efforts that they now realize will never be acknowledged. Efforts that never mattered in the first place. That there was her plead for rest! She was so done, until she was shown that someone actually admitted and expressed and showed her what vulnerability was. They expressed their feelings of love and admiration for her that she actually stopped and thought for a moment. None the less her unhealthy habit of putting her goals first before anything kinda ruined it😑.

Even so she’s explained how she does feel guilty has resentment about her behavior. We see with Harold in season one she says “it’s become a habit for hers” and she hides how she actually feels about being disliked by others. She doesn’t want to be mean it’s just all she’s ever known. She was never taught to be in touch with her feelings or to be respectful emotionally vulnerable with herself. That’s why I found it so beautiful in All Stars when we saw her being genuinely happy with Alejandro. She seems relaxed and unbothered (til Chris ruined it😒). And I hope that’s how the rest of her relationship will be, because happy Heather is everything ♥️.

Hello! I am Chainsaw or Fami, whatever you wanna call me.

I write, MxF, M//, F//

I prefer to write on Discord, I also primarily dabble in Canon/OC (doubles ehehe). I also prefer that anyone I write with is 18+ for my own comfort. NSFW can come about, but ideally it's not the main topic.

I’m currently in college, my semester has started! So activity varies but, largely I'll be in ooc if needed. I don't shut up if given the room. I will say that my posting time may be boiled down to once a week/twice a week, it all depends on my assignments and workload. I strongly ask, no beg, of you not to nudge/bump/or poke me. It's a zero tolerant thing due to past experiences.

I do adore ooc and getting to know my partners. I do play a few games so I’m happy to add anyone to my friends list. I love making fan art of our characters + ships, chatting about head canons, playlets, etc ,etc. I don’t shut up! I love babbling about stupid stuff, I am insane!

Today, I'm asking for some AU related content, a bit tired of direct canon especially since I get burnt out easy on it lololol. So, here are some ideas for AUs regarding each fandom, please keep in mind that this is just want I want for myself! I can do anything (within reason) for your side <3

Okay guys, DONT LAUGH, but what I have in mind is something...with merfolk. There's a bunch of prompts I've seen regarding a mermaid AU and it's been rattling in my head. I have like things written down for like possible world ideas n stuff.

Characters I'm seeking: Miguel O'Hara, Peter B Parker

Characters I can write: Gwen Stacy (selective), Miles Morales, Hobie Brown, Spot (Jonathan Ohnn) Pavitr Prabhakar, Lyla, Peter B Parker. A lot more, just ask!

I've lifted the Miguel ban, I'm willing to write him in this AU. Especially if it's with him being the merman cuz...I have ideas.

I have interest in wanting to write Hobie (really want to practice his muse), Lyla and Pav the most, mostly because all those little fics and comics I write are rotting my brain. But seriously, I'm happy to write anyone, I want to better my muses!!

Overwatch

So, I have this oc that in the ow verse, is like a omnic leaning towards the human side in physical characteristics. So I was thinking something with a dystopian world similar to Detroit: Become Human? Also would be for doing something with the Junkenstein canon...I HAVE IDEAS

Characters I'm seeking: Cole Cassidy <33333

Characters I can write: Literally anyone, I've written Overwatch a lot during the prime days. HOWEVER, I do have a banned muse list. It's pretty short. Not cuz I'm a hater but because I've written them soooo much, too much.

Resident Evil

Kinda feeling a RE muse coming up, don't have much ideas AU wise for this. Can probably do the regular canon with this but yk.

Task 11: Intro & Connections

Name: Dr. Gwendolyn Pleakley Age: 30 Gender: Trans woman (she/her) Occupation: Ecology Professor at Redwood College Sexuality: Heterosexual Birthplace: New Jersey, USA Redwood Hollow Residency: One and a half years

FULL BIO | MUSINGS | HEADCANONS | ALL MUSES

TL;DR BIO

Gwen was born as Wendell Plummer and grew up as a golden child and science prodigy, heavily pressured by her mother to succeed in everything she did.

After her extensive education, she was hired by the US government to act as a consultant on climate change and endangered species. She was disheartened to learn that her advice was rarely taken and nobody took her seriously.

Met Mateo Jimenez (Javi Jookiba), a government scientist who was using his grant money for under the table experiments. However, he greatly valued her input and the two together continued their illicit activities.

Eventually they were discovered by the government, so they made a run for it. They changed their names to Gwen Pleakley and Javi Jookiba and are acting as a married couple who just moved to town.

While having gender feelings for a very long time, it is only through her Gwen “disguise” that she’s allowed herself to live fully as a woman, and she loves it.

Renting a room from Nani Pelekai and living in the Pelekai home as quirky roommates.

While her marriage is fake, Gwen is starting to develop real feelings for Javi and has no idea what to do with it.

PERSONALITY

Neurotic, nosy, and not-at-all high maintenance, Gwen can be a lot to be around. While friendly, she also has a tendency to talk too much, brag, and generally be annoying.

Self-righteous and always believing herself to be in the right, Gwen can go full Karen mode at any given time. She is especially protective of bugs, animals, and the environment, but can also extend to frivolous matters such as holidays and diet.

Despite all this, if you give her the time of day, she will be undyingly loyal and a very good friend. The kind who brings you food when you’re sick, drives you to the airport, and supports you in whatever way you need.

She really enjoys her job as a professor and always does her best to support her students, particularly the ones that are invested in her class.

WANTED CONNECTIONS:

College professors/Students: She teaches at Redwood College and is always trying to make friends with her coworkers and help her students. She even helps Javi’s students, as he’s not as...supportive of a professor as she is.

Girl friends: Not girlfriends as in dating, but friends who are girls. Gwen is still fairly early in her transition and is desperate to connect with other women.

Gossip: Gwen is nosy af and loves gossiping about the people around town.

Farmer’s market buds: She is a vegan and frequents the farmer’s market.

Bowling buds: Gwen joined Redwood Hollow’s bowling team and although she has little skill in the sport, she is passionate and competitive. Most likely someone needs to teach her how to play.

Bug-lovers/haters: Whether you love or hate them, Gwen is passionate about bugs and wants to connect, whether to gush or to scold you.

NJ/DC Peeps: Gwen grew up in New Jersey, but went to college and spent her 20′s in Washington, DC. If your characters were in either place during those time, definitely open for connections!

WANTED PLOTS:

Holiday Rivals: Gwen prides herself on being the most spirited celebrator of holidays that she knows. She takes great care to have the best decorations for all occasions. But then...a foe?! Someone who goes even harder with their decorating? Their rivalry would shake the foundations of the town.

A Secret Revealed: One way or another, your character finds out the truth about Javi and Gwen being wanted by the government. Whatever they do with that information, whether it be blackmailing, attempting to turn them in, etc. would make for an excellent plot.

Pelekai Household Drama: Whether a mutual friend of Nani or Lilo, your character comes over to hang out but instead gets stuck dealing with Gwen as they wait for their friend to return.

Making Javi Jealous: Okay, so Gwen is fake married. But she has a real crush on Javi. She needs to hang around a man to make Javi jealous and fall for her too. Gwen will not approach your character with the intent of “cheating”, and instead just act very close. However, as time goes on, feelings become complicated and it’s a genuine messy love triangle.

Karen: You’re just trying to run your business and here comes Karen Gwen wanting to speak to the manager.

TAKEN CONNECTIONS:

Fake Husband: Javi Jookiba @javi-jookiba

Roommates: Nani Pelekai @themanagerisavampirex, Lilo Pelekai @imsorryibityoux, (unofficially) Paxton Patterson @paxtonpatterson

Friends: Fawn Weathers @fawn-weathers, Lucius Best @iceice-best

Students: Sofia Bach @sofia-bach

OTHER:

Would love a Stephen (Stitch) to complete the Pelekai household! All other Lilo and Stitch bios are wanted as well!

Could be fun to have more alien characters in the roleplay--other Lilo and Stitch experiments, the little green men from Toy Story, etc.

BBCs Merlin is a trans narrative where magic represents the understanding and nuance of gender. Those who study it are students of that nuance, and often understand their gender to be other than what they were originally assigned.

Merlin himself, could represent a stealth trans person, constantly flying under the radar of transphobes (read: magic-haters) and grappling with the implications of his actions and inactions regarding the legality of magic in Camelot. In season 1 episode 12, Merlin questions his place as a person with magic and his ability to liberate his people by allowing Uther to die after the death of Gwen's father. He brings his doubts about Uther to Giaus, who says that despite his occasionally extreme reactions, Uther is there to protect the kingdom. However, this protection Uther provides is detrimental to Merlin and all magic users within Camelot.

In the real world, transphobia and transphobic people claim to "protect" what is good in the world to the detriment of trans people, just as Uther and his laws do to magic users. In this essay I will...

Okay, I'm reading parts of the classic Tablet of Time storyline from the Lee/Romita ASM run - jumping around bc I don't have the ficus to read it all in order - and I have a lot of scattered thoughts that I might try to put together more cohesively later, but in the meantime:

I hate it when (non-comic) readers reduce discussions about how MJ and Gwen have been adapted to 'Raimi!MJ is comics!Gwen and TASM!Gwen is comics!MJ' bc that's not quite true if you actually look at the comics, even if neither are 100% faithful adaptations and do borrow some elements from the other (I'd say TASM!Gwen draws more from 1610!MJ than 616!MJ if we must go there though) -

HOWEVER, I do think it's funny how people who really hate Raimi!MJ while stanning TASM!Gwen as the perfect girlfriend on the grounds of, 'MJ was mean to Peter for being unreliable, unlike Gwen, who loves Peter no matter what and is completely understanding all the time!!' bc I was just reading a scene where she gets angry at Peter for being unreliable with seemingly no explanation, and I'm like, I love when 616!Gwen has a temper and her annoyance is understandable imo, but this is exactly the behaviour Raimi!MJ haters crucify her for while insisting Gwen, even 616!Gwen, would never be like that bc she's perfect, unlike bitchy MJ lol

On the topic of films influencing the mainstream public's perception of the original 616 characters bc that's going to be most people's only exposure, Raimi!Otto (and Insomniac!Otto to a much lesser degree) really has a lot of people thinking that Otto being Peter's sympathetic idol, mentor, and friend out of the classic rogues gallery is an intrinsic part of the character that goes back to the 616 comics, but here we have Peter calling Curt one of the greatest men he knows and getting really excited at the idea that maybe he could get a job working for him bc he would learn so much from him - but non-comic readers think that when he's written that way, he's 'stealing' from Otto's characterization smh

Hii 😍

If your MC / OC could be any song or any movie what would it be and why?

Hiya, hope you’re doing well 💖

I think this is will be the first time I’m posting about my MCs, so thank you for this! Under the cut are a couple of playlists for these two MCs I’m currently writing about ☺️

The Nanny Affair MC: Marina Acuña 🌸

Ride Home by Ben&Ben - "You're all I need, the very air I breathe / You are home" Marina is this person who upholds the value of family, not only by being a warm and kind mother figure to Mickey and Mason and partner to Sam, but also by being a loving and thoughtful daughter to her parents and Ate (older sister) to her younger sister. She loves to be with her family in her hometown and will visit whenever she can, even occasionally visiting her relatives.

Aphrodite by RINI - Not entirely related to her personal life, but this song is one of her favorites as she discovered it by accident online. She has been listening to this song and checking out the artist’s new songs ever since. It also helps that Sam once complimented her by saying that she is the goddess because of her love and beauty, which she found as ridiculously sweet of him to say so.

For Once in My Life by Spiral Starecase - "For once I have something I know won't desert me / I'm not alone anymore" When her father left them, Marina and her family was left devastated at the loss. When her mother met someone new a few years later, this feeling of devastation turned into a feeling of apprehension for the new man. However, he worked hard to earn their trust and be a good father figure to Marina and her sister. For Marina, he bonded with her over music. She learned that he also liked Spiral Starecase's songs, and they would later on have this song as their karaoke pick.

Emotions by Brenda Lee - "Emotions, you get me upset / Why make me remember what I want to forget?" This is Marina’s go-to song when she’s deep in the feels, most often when she…does something incredibly stupid and embarrassing to the point where she cringes at the memory of it! But seriously, she plays this song whenever she feels sad but does not want to feel that way. Despite listening to it whenever she is sad, the song also has another layer of sentimental value to her as it is also one of her mother’s favorite songs, so she holds this song close to her heart anyway.

Fool for You by Snoh Aalegra - "I love you time and time again / I know just how the story ends" This is more in line with her thought process in Book 1, where she was stuck in this exciting but passionate but eyebrow-raising circumstance with Sam. She knows how their relationship would traditionally end, especially with Sam being the billionaire CEO that he is, but she is magically drawn to him that she finds herself falling in love anyway.

Make Me Like You by Gwen Stefani - Not so much that the song's message has anything to do with her personally, but I write Marina as someone who loves Gwen Stefani. Also, the song itself is bright and fun, something she generally gravitates towards to in music.

Queen B MC: Augusta Hughes 👑

What’s New? by Megan Thee Stallion - "They keep comin, telling me these b*tches mad, what's new?" With Augusta's rise to fame, there will definitely be people out to get her and drag her down. So really, what's new? Keep them coming, she would say as she is confident that she will always triumph over her haters anyway.

Pop Star by Coco & Clair Clair - "Doin' my own thing / Mind my business in my Prada" Following her family suddenly inheriting money (thanks and RIP auntie) and her rise to Belvoire stardom, Augusta often finds herself feeling like…well, a pop star! Or you know, a main pop girlie. Since learning that being in her position in Belvoire and having the wealth she now has can open much more doors for her, she learned to enjoy the luxury of being carefree in things such as shopping inconsequentially and attending as much parties as possible. She’s young and she knows that she can, so why not do it?

Twenty One by Khalid - "And all of these memories / Crawling underneath your skin" This song in the context of Augusta speaks more of how she looks back on what life was like when she started in Belvoire. I’m currently writing something about her in the future, where she begins to think about everything that led her to where she currently is in life. 21 is the age when she entered Belvoire, met people that would become her friends or her enemies (or frenemies), and even got together with someone who she’s no longer with (as of the moment). She got to live expensively and party like there was no tomorrow. It’s a whirlwind adventure, but like all adventures, the highs are met with the lows. And it’s the lows that Augusta begins to feel when looking back, so she has to look for that middle ground where she can accept both highs and lows of this period in her life. (got this from the Queen B playlist by PB)

Nothing New (feat. Phoebe Bridgers) by Taylor Swift - "Lord, what will become of me / Once I lost my novelty?" While Augusta always walked the red brick roads of Belvoire with enough confidence to last her multiple lifetimes, there definitely are moments when she wondered what it be like if people stopped caring about her now that she has been in Belvoire for over a year. Does she still have that charm to win people over? Will she still have it once she has graduated? What are her plans for the future? She often ruminates on these questions when she is alone in her room, with her thoughts being her only company.

Selene by NIKI - Not so much that the song relates to Augusta’s life in any way, but this is one of the songs she listens to when she needs that boost of confidence! There was also a time when I wrote much of her character background to this song.

you should see me in a crown by Billie Eilish - "You should see me in a crown / I’m gonna run this nothing town" Of course, Augusta is the Queen B. She is basically tenacious and unstoppable, especially when going after something she wants. This, along with the title as the queen of Belvoire, she will make sure that nothing can get in her in making a mark in Belvoire and (after graduating) in the world. (also got this from PB’s Queen B playlist)

Bonus! While I don't have any particular movie in mind for Marina, one movie I can compare Augusta to is Do Revenge (2022). The entire feel of the movie is something close to Queen B, and I can definitely see Camila Mendes' Drea in Augusta.

***

GAAAH sorry this is an extremely long post, but I hope this answers your question! Again, thank you so much for this! I had fun creating these playlists. Another thanks for spreading positivity in the fandom 💖

Like....I can't defend him in anyway cause like my GOD, I've seen Peter fighting Green Goblins less violently. Miguel was being brolic as hell on a child.

But I like think that like...day to day.. he isn't as much of a (number of words that might be a bit too vulgar).

I...I don't know how to feel about him. Because on one hand we have the logic hints that he is normal most of the time - based on how people treat him. But we don't see that at all.

We never get to see Miguel OR the Society just exist and I don't think we will in the next movie cause there's no time plot-wise but considering what Miguel truly believes I'm like - maybe you just need to be put on ice for a minute. Look at yourself, you look insane.

I'm HOPING GOD IM HOPING that theres a scene where Miguel gets to Miles and just stops and is holding Miles down and now that Miles can't leave he just begs Miles not to make the same mistake he did, because he believes the even if Miles saves his dad - his dad will die anyway when the universe collapses (like Gabbie did).

just so we can see some range or like self-reflection from him. Because..if he's so guilty about Gabbie I assume he self-reflected a lot so he uhhh needs to do that...again.. right now.

And like....that's not how that works but it's like telling a flat earther that the earth is round. Until they go up and see it, they will have an argument for everything you say.

I trust Spider-people, and I trust them to be able to call out a evil person so I'm like...the Society is run so well, ALL of these spider-people can't be stupid - we know Insomnia Peter, we know Hobie. Hobie was there before Gwen so like...Miguel must've been, not bad enough for him to refuse??? I guess?????

I really have no idea about Miguel's character and it's a long movie so I understand not getting alone time with the Society but I'm like..

At WHAT point does Miguel stop and be like "What the fuck am I doing?" AT WHAT POINT DOES JESS OR PETER?

It's like.. (k now I'm mad) You're an ADULT!! And Miguel yeah I know it's a trauma response but standing there at that platform with dozens of people watching you. How is that not like waking up in a cold sweat!!

And realistically speaking - Miguel what are you gonna do? Forreal what are you gonna do?

Okay, so you lock him up and his dad dies. What about his next canon event. Some canon events you have to be active in. Like what if his canon event is marrying his MJ - what, are you gonna MAKE him marry her. What if his canon event is meeting Dr.Otto. What, you gonna make Miles work for him.

Even if this canon event happens it's not like Miles is gonna co-operate for any others??? So what is the goal?!?!?!

That's why I'm like nah, Miguel cannot be like this all the time. He can not be this blindly stupid because what he's doing is DUMBBBBBB

Im gonna be real even if a Spider-person had caught Miles, Miles would've tried to explain and be like 'please let me go', and because everyone else doesn't have the drive like Miguel, they'd probably be like "Oh shit, ok go on kid."

BUT PETERRRRRRR FUCK THIS DUD OKAY I HAVE A QUESTION

In the scene where he's like 'hold the baby' to Miles and his watch goes off- do you think he was purposely trying to give Miles up? Because that's what I thought. Someone the other day suggested that it was an accident and I was like "???"

NO MA'AM. No, Ma'am.

I always saw the scene as this:

Peter B. KNOWS Miles isn't gonna take off while holding MayDay. He's not, Miles not going to kidnap a baby.

So Peter is continually pestering Miles to hold MayDay, to get him to stay in while place, while he intentionally alerts them of his location. However, Miles won't take MayDay, and Peter's watch goes off.

Because Miles isn't holding her, his hands are free, and he can escape.

That's what I got from that, no?

Or you mean to tell me Peter's watch went off by itself? Maybe, but then what was with the 'Hold My Baby' shit? Why wouldn't he take 'no' for an answer?

He was using MayDay to trap Miles. Like are you fucking kidding me.

Wow, betraying his trust again AND manipulating him with that 'I had her cause of you!' speech.

Miguel - He's having a psychotic break, he's full Primal and honestly he needs to go somewhere. Perhaps a small red bubble and just..look at himself in the mirror. Like - fuck are you doing? The most, for no reason. Cut it out!

Peter - Nah, why are you even here? What are you getting out of this, seriously? Gwen HAS to be here, Hobie knows WHY he's here, Pav just GOT here. Why are you here? What do you get out of this? What, do they have free daycare or something at HQ. What even compelled you to be on Miguel's side in the first place. WHY DIDNT YOU FIGHT HIM THE SECOND HE MENTIONED MILES NEGATIVELY

Like Peter doesn't have the trauma Miguel has, he doesn't have the professionalism Jess has, and he doesn't have the brains Hobie does. What is he adding to this society, what is he getting out of it?

He's just THERE. Being a NUISANCE and I MEAN THAT!!!

You can't tell me Lyla be looking at missions and be like 'Oh yeah we need to get Peter B. on the case' NO!

And then to not help Gwen and also try and rat Miles out????????? He should fall into a 'metaphor for capitalism' if u know what i mean

Jess - She's literally doing her job and going home at 5:00:01 and as someone who is anti-work....understood ma'am have a nice day but also maybe reconsider your parenting practices before that baby gets here, just a suggestion.

Rio and Jeff are the only adults with some sense in this movie. Captain Stacy, you're fine but you're on thin fucking ice.

Fuck Peter B. All my Hobies hate Peter B. (not a typo)

And Miguel:

"I - I can't even with you."

SPIDERMAN NO WAY HOME SPOILERS

Here’s some of my thoughts about the movie:

First of all, I LOVED IT!!! If you’re scared of watching it because you’re not sure if it’ll do justice, just know that IT WAS AMAZING!!!

Ok now definitely spoilers.

Honestly this might’ve been all in my head, but I kinda felt like Andrew’s Peter was treated like the lesser Spiderman? Maybe that was just him being unsure of himself and still recovering from Gwen. He was still super cool though.

I feel like Tom’s Peter REALLY needed this movie. A lot of the criticism about Tom’s Peter is that he was best friends with a billionaire, so he got an easy start. In this movie, he loses his aunt, he’s mentored by himselves that have been through the same thing as him, he battled classic Spiderman villains that end up helping the other two Spidermen learn, but the thing that I feel shows his growth the MOST is at the end of the movie when you can see a sewing machine that shows that Peter made his own suit from hand. That was something a lot of people said made a Spiderman, and now Tom’s Peter has done it. He’s living on his own and he has no one, ABSOLUTELY NO ONE to be with him through it. So, Tom Peter haters, what do you have to say now?

I wonder how in the future Tobey’s and Andrew’s worlds have gotten. Both Peters have shown growth, but since Tom mentioned that technology there is more improved, I wouldn’t think that they would be past 2020.

This could also be because Stark wasn’t a thing in the other universes, which leads me to my next point.

Stark Industries and the Avengers don’t exist in the other Spidermen’s universes, and Oscorp doesn’t exist in Tom’s universe.

Which begs the question that we’ve never asked because we thought it was unnecessary: how did Tom Peter get his spider powers? Was it like Miles Morales in the spiderverse movie? A spider from another dimension? First of all, I sure HOPE not. I’d hope it’s something more creative. If Oscorp doesn’t exist, WHERE WOULD THE SPIDER COME FROM??? I don’t think Stark Industries delves into biotechnology, though idk.

Another thing, Uncle Ben is never really mentioned, so we just assumed he died and gave Peter the message like all the other spidermen. But that was Aunt May, in the third movie no less which is very interesting. So that begs another question, did Uncle Ben die or did he and Aunt May just get divorced? Or did Aunt May ever get married at all? (There might be signs to this in the first movie idk I can’t remember rn)

I wish Doc Ock got more character participation. He does a little, but not as much as I wished from his character.

Also, HOW. DARE. YOU. SPIDERMAN MOVIE. FOR MAKING ME SYMPATHIZE FOR NORMAN OSBORN. NORMAN OSBORN OF ALL PEOPLE.

I guess out of all the versions of Norman Osborn, Tobey Maguire Norman Osborn probably had the best intentions and best heart. HOWEVER, most versions of Norman Osborn are really cruel men. He’s a businessman after all. And I dislike him very very much. Even without the serum, Norman was never a good father and did sketchy things all the time.

I didn’t like how Norman didn’t say anything at the end of the movie when he was cured. We don’t know what exactly is going on in his head and it’s kinda just like??? You ok bud???

Poor Tobey Peter too, just, yknow, casually stabbed. Going back home casually stabbed.

Also Tom Peter didn’t tell the other Peters that people in their universe were gonna forget about them too? Like what about MJ in the other universe?

THE MOVIE WAS SO GREAT, BUT OFC IT LEFT ME WANTING MORE. I WANNA KNOW WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE OTHER TWO GET BACK HOME. DO MJ AND TOBEY PETER FINALLY GET MARRIED?? DOES ANDREW’S TOM GET THE BOYFRIEND HE DESERVES??? WHAT ABOUT TASM HARRY???

Also I ABSOLUTELY LOVED the scene where Ned was like, “I won’t betray you and try to kill you,” and what made it funnier was Tobey and Andrew just like, “MAN LEMME GIVE YOU A FOST BUMP, A HANDSHAKE, A HUG, SOMETHING, CAUSE YOU THE BOMB MAN.”

My favorite scene was Andrew saving MJ though. BEST SCENE HANDS DOWN. I don’t feel like I even have to explain in words how many strong emotions this gives off. It was PERFECT AND WELL DESERVED.

I was smiling like a goof the whole movie I loved it so much.

I can’t even use the nostalgia thing for my explanation. I’ve only been loving spiderman since like 2019, and I didn’t watch the live action movies until 2020.

I still loved it so much. It was the best birthday present I could’ve asked for.

I think my favorite character was Andrew’s Peter. Idk, I never really had a favorite spiderman out of the three, but in this movie, Andrew’s really stuck out to me.

What are your thoughts on B future SM specifically twitter neither him or G posted anything on twitter about the wedding it kinda surprised me only because they both posted about the engagement. However twitter is a evil area sometimes for as many nice things people say there are twice as many aholes so I wonder if that was the reason. IG does have some that can’t be nice but more then not I think IG followers are more supportive. Blake has a love hate relationship with SM an I bet he would love to fill his IG with pics of G and the wedding just like G does but I feel like he just doesn’t want to give haters a platform. I can’t wait to see if they both or just G change their pic on the profiles I don’t doubt G will but you never know with B. Unfortunately I don’t think B will ever post about the boys publicly that should be a part of his life he can share if he wants as a step dad but with GR being such a DB it will make B uncomfortable for years. We will have to hope G will share a little more and say FU to GR her and Blake are now married and they are all an official family.

Ok. For me, as far as the lack of social media postings from Blake, I think the days leading up to the wedding and the week after he has been unplugged from social media, he says that he often unloads Twitter and doesn’t post for awhile and let’s his team post, I think this is one of those times. He may have done it because of the haters but they have been dealing with haters throughout their whole relationship, he knows they’re out there, if he didn’t want to ever post because of haters she never would receive any birthday greetings from him via social media and he wouldn’t have announced their engagement on there. I think he just has really been soaking in this time, knowing that they are already getting loads of attention so he will sit back and wait for it to die down a bit. For years Blake has had a picture of Gwen as his profile picture, I wouldn’t be surprised if he changes it to one from the wedding. I also think that soon Blake will (when he posts, which is hardly ever now) will be fine saying something about the boys

“Forcing diversity” isn’t always a bad thing.

I recently watched a playthrough of Spider-Man: Miles Morales.

I was a bit worried about this game, because I knew that it would be plagued by people alternately parading about and whining about “Black Spider-Man”.

I’ve known for a while that the world has made me cynical and egocentric.

I don’t like immediately wrinkling my nose immediately because a non-white character appears in a major role. Yes, there are a lot of properties out there that are just shallow populist wash, companies have always done that for as long as there’s been a business to do it in.

But it had been long enough since I watched a playthrough of the original game that I’d quite forgotten it already had a huge ethnic diversity, as it takes place in vaguely-realistic New York and uses popular and obscure Spider-Man characters who were already quite diverse decades ago, yet it never felt to me like it was showing any of its ethnicities off (other than how absolutely goofy Mr. Negative and his evil Chinese demon gang were.)

And, of course, Miles was already in it (though he does not get his powers until the ending.) His stealth sections were a bit jarring but he was fine and relevant as a character.

Sorry for forgetting.

But, you see, if the diversity was forced, I would have noticed and remembered it. As it was, it was completely natural, and I did not pay it any heed.

I watched the same player who I watched play the original game. He was quite eager to try out the expansion and I knew he would not get “political” about anything unless an elephant appeared in the room.

Early in the game, Miles consistently uses Spider-Man only to refer to Peter. His nerd buddy, whose name I don’t remember except it sounds like Genki, calls him out on it and tells him “No, stop doing that. You’re Spider-Man.”

And, as the game goes on, Miles’s lines start naming him as “Spider-Man” in his subtitles. At the end of the game, when asked who he is by reporters, the people of Harlem say:

“That’s our Spider-Man.”

Stan Lee once said that he believed the reason Spider-Man took off so well is that he had a full-body suit. By all means, he was Spider-Man, but other than his sex, he could be anybody. White kids, Black kids, Asian kids, nobody could say they had the wrong skin color for the outfit, like people do with modern cosplay. All young boys could be Spider-Man.

Not “Black Spider-Man”.

Not “Asian Spider-Man”.

Spider-Man.

Stan Lee grew up in a time where it was “radical” to consider black people to be human beings. In the era where Star Trek shocked the world with the first black character on TV who was not in an unreasonably servile role, Stan Lee quickly discovered that a lot of people were affected by the social commentaries of his comics. He certainly got a lot of hate mail for “moralizing”.

So, in the most polite way that a nerd from the 1960s could, he told the haters to kiss his ass. He knew his comics were affecting people, and that the world was full of hatred and racism, so he was going to set his work in an optimistic world, not a racist caricature.

He co-created Black Panther and Falcon, and gave his full support for Luke Cage (without using his skin color as a hook.) He continued to insist on Marvel embracing human diversity into the 2010s, shortly before his passing.

Stan Lee believed that “a story without a message, however subliminal, is like a man without a soul.” He noted that even ancient fairytales and mythology were wrapped around contemporary cultural values and traditions.

When Stan Lee passed away, a lot of “yo-yos” tried to tell everybody he was racist. They knew nobody would bother to click any links or fact-check anything to see that Stan Lee was one of the least racist men in American history and, quite possibly, the only reason we have black superheroes at all.

It’s that kind of yo-yo who would exploit Miles Morales’s ethnicity for personal vanity as though black or Hispanic people were trophies.

It’s that kind of yo-yo who accuses every single creator who ever features a non-white protagonist of cheap racial baiting.

It’s because of yo-yos that we need people like Stan Lee to begin with.

I have no doubt that Stan Lee was delighted with Miles Morales, and probably just as delighted with Miguel o’Hara, and Spider-Gwen, and every other wild new take on Spider-Man.

But I think Stan would agree with me that Miles Morales is not “Black Spider-Man”.

He is just Spider-Man.

Yikes at Blake yelling at the boys to hurry up! Me thinks Blakee is sick of playing daddio or big bro to Gwen's sons! Can't say I blame him though because that's a lot of kids coming at you all at once. Thank God hunting season is fast approaching for Blake. He needs a break from the old ball & chain and her kiddos. He deserves to be around his people and buddies drinking and cutting up. Hopefully, some young gals will be visiting hunting camp. He needs a good distraction and a fun time! 😜

For a while I was going “What??”  luckily you put that emoji at the end to indicate sarcasm; however, I could see a lot of the haters that don’t want Blake with Gwen to say the exact same thing.
