I read the whole first run of Spider-man 2099 because of "the end result of my own reckless impulsivity." It's a very good fic. Anyway, I was under the impression that elements of the fic, like Miguel's depression, had been exaggerated in typical fanfic angst style. So imagine my surprise when I got to 'Spider-man attempts suicide by hanging', said "oh Jesus Christ" out loud, and then just stared at the page for a minute in disbelief. 2099 is wild and nobody talks about 2/3rds of what's in it.
aw, gee-- thank u for the compliment!! 💞 💞
also. LITERALLY. LITERALLY SO TRUE.
my ONE saving grace reading that issue for the first time was that Joe St. Pierre's art is so entirely incomprehensible without colors that i spent Actual Years just not even knowing what the hell was going on in that scene and just ENTIRELY SKIPPED OVER those pages. for YEARS.
do you KNOW how viscerally i felt my spirit connect to that meme of tails getting Trolled when i went back to reread Funny Future Spider-Man much later and eventually made it to The Issue where he HANGS HIMSELF,,
WHY'D THEY JUST LET THAT GO TO PUBLISHING... just because the comics code doesn't matter anymore doesn't mean y'all needed to DO that, much less ON-SCREEN, guys, mother mercy

Part of me, after all this time of kinda feeling 'eh' about the prospect, wants to try dating. Issue is that I basically have no options in my area, and as many lovely people as there are online who I'm compatible with... Once we officially start dating, I just can't keep up?
It's a mixture of not having anything physical to do(not even talking that I mean like going out and shit) and also needing to be more active online when my track record is already very spotty, lol.
Plus, thinking about the future, y'kno? Not even in a marriage and kids kinda way, but like,,, how viable would it be to close the distance? What if I found someone more generally suited to me in my area, even if we don't share that soul-bond?
It ends up being easier to stay friends, even if in person I know I'd be all over them. Don't want to strain the lovely thing we already have.
