HELP

[starry-nights12]

Excuse me, sir.

But what EXACTLY are YOU staring at???🤨🤨🤨🤨

[movedtodykedvonte]

So confused where fandom/fic writers got this interpretation that Miles does stupid shit that doesn’t make sense or barely works out in the end or puts his friends in unnecessary danger all the time. Like in both movies the others simply underestimate him and don’t understand what Miles is doing cause he thinks like Miles, not like your everyday Spiderman. He uses his Venom Strike to throw Kingpin in the ITSV movie and literally saves Gwen and Peter because they went into battle less than ready. Then had the entire plan to lure the Spiders in ATSV, yet I keep seeing him written like he doesn’t think or gets his friends in trouble even when he understands the danger. Most of the time his different thinking has helped or led people to fix personal issues.

The first movie alone pretty much sets in stone that the exact opposite of what he wants is others to get hurt by his actions, inactions or the actions of others and trying to live up to that belief and the expectations it carries. Across the Spider-verse hammers it home with how he constantly tries to save people because that’s what he should do, rather than listen to some theory that is clearly not absolute at best and outright wrong at worst. Every fic has him being the one to cause issues and not fix them when his planning and actions literally helped save Gayatri and her father.  (c’mon we know the glitching was the spot)

Yeah, I get making him stubborn or strong willed cause he doesn’t listen all the time but usually it’s for a good and valid reason, if he listened every time he was told not to, guess how many of our beloved characters would be dead?

Silco, Vander, and Grace for the Ones Who Hurt Us the Most

Sometimes I feel like we all really need to sit with the fact that Silco was ready, willing, and wanting for Vander to return to his side after Vander tried and failed to kill him. What Vander did was a genuine life altering act of betrayal that Silco had to live with the mental, emotional, and medical consequences for years after. You can bet if Jinx hadn't shot Silco, the river toxins would've gotten him just a little later. And in spite of the ways Vander's actions ruined his life, that Vander admits to even (but doesn't apologize for), Silco rationalized it just as much for Vander as he did himself.

Silco decided that the man he loved the most nearly killed him (and in a way is still killing him) for a greater purpose, which didn't make everything okay, but it made it reasonable. And this rationalization has bled into every aspect of his life because the way Silco treats Zaun is the way he treats himself. If you're weak the people who love you and you love back will hurt you. They are right to permanently alter the trajectory of your existence to make the right calls, because as long you survive it, you will be stronger. He's made Shimmer the lifeblood of Zaun, because Silco is literally dependent on it to live as well. It works for him, so it works for Zaun.

The most warped part is, Silco was mostly right! He had violent rise in Zaun and completely changed the course of its development. Yet he managed to create a Zaun that couldn't be cowed or bullied either economically or militarily by Piltover the way it was in the past. I can't help but think how it all must twist and burn, because if Silco understood he was succeeding at the impossible, then doesn't that mean it all reinforced his logic around Vander? That this man you loved hurt you in a way that can't be taken back for the rest of your life, and he was right to do it? So that means Silco was right to change, to want to be back by Vander's side, because he was the one who needed to reinvent himself to be worthy of control, right?

No matter the success Silco reaped he had to recognize the dissonance between this logic and reality, because despite the bastard he could be, Silco would never do any of what was done to him onto Jinx. Sure Silco would simulate his traumas into life lessons and heavily sanitized rituals, but he never betrayed her or abandoned her when she became detriment to his position. Obviously Vander also never gave up on his kids either (#cinematicparallels), but we don't know if Silco was ever in a position to betray someone the way Vander did him, or if he ever wanted to prior to it. So even as Silco recognizes that Vander changed to protect the children he loves so much, he must wonder if the way Vander and he loved eachother just wasn't it enough? If the way Silco cared for Vander was reciprocal, a deep love whether romantic or platonic, then why wasn't Silco afforded a similar grace to stay by his side?

Silco had to live with all these contradictions and still chose to embrace Vander's memory. In a complete contrast to Vander, Silco didn't obscure who Vander was to Zaun politically or personally. Silco allowed a statue of Vander to stand, and went to it for comfort, he regularly talked about his life with Vander before and after the betrayal with Jinx. Meanwhile, from what the audience can see, Silco's presence was almost fully hidden from the newest generation sans the scar Silco gave him, which Vander hides with a bracer. All I can end up thinking is that must be easier for Silco to keep loving Vander like this, it's how he gives himself the grace for it.

jesus christ episode 5 of arcane was so fucking good

[night-city-netrunner]

I am still crying over the fact that Silco's last words were literally an attempt to comfort his daughter. No fear, no anger, just the desperate desire to tell her he loved her and he was never going to betray her.

Has anyone asked for more Wilt? No? Nvm Imma just gonna leave this here.... Im sorry but... Wilt is extremly sweet all the goddamn time... But when he is mad...😳💜

[mouthpoisons]

''guy becomes terminally ill and is suddenly hyper aware of how boring and underwhelming his life has been and starts making stupid decisions bcs of his inferiority complex and a need to prove himself'' can work, breaking bad managed it. walt is sympathetic for around 2 seconds but he immediately resorts to shutting out his large support network and rejecting help, turns to crime, consciously hurts and manipulates everyone around him, is all around completely fucking delusional, etc etc etc. the point of him and his story is very obviously and explicitly ''this couldve been avoided if he grew a spine and accepted help but the need to prove hes soooo smart won''

viktors arc fell flat for me bcs this is a guy whos actually genuinely been sidelined his whole life. he has not been complacent at all, hes had to work so hard and fuck around and break the rules to get to where he is because he lives in a society that thinks hes dogshit and doesnt want him to succeed. he wants to live longer so he can continue to help people. he only knowingly endangered himself with his hexcore experiments. sure pride is also a big part of it, but this show asking me to agree that ''the pride of wanting to live instead of accepting he'll never be a Great Scientist remembered for hundreds of years'' was his Big Sin just doesnt work for me, at all. i completely agree with him and i think hes 100% earned the right to be a little bit prideful and hold onto what hes built with a vice grip after dealing with everything hes dealt with

this is why i hope they let him get a bit more fucked up in season 2. if they want me to believe in the ''his pride will be his downfall'' angle and also agree that hes reaped what he sowed then have him start throwing other people under the bus to reach his goal instead of continuing to slap him around for, at this point, the crime of wanting to live. let him develop a martyr complex while hes like actively feeding people to the hexcore or something so it makes sense, or i'll seethe

if they do a possession arc ill be so mad lmfao. please let him go crazy and stupid on his own terms

thinking about kyuubi!hitoya

[linesfromzaun]

Instead of Sevika stopping him, what do you think would’ve happened if Silco found Jinx like this?

You think if he found her like this and possibly helped her, seeing vulnerability from him could have eased the betrayal she felt? Knowing that she’s not just a weapon to him, that he does love and care for her.

Don’t get me wrong, I think Sevika did give good advice, but I think it was the worst timing
