Read a rumor that Star-Lord is slated to be in "Kang Dynasty" and now I'm worried Grandpa Quill will be killed off/die of natural causes in that movie.

Spiderverse Pride Icons: Miles Morales and Gwen Stacy

I decided to make Pride icons of Miles and Gwen after mentioning it in my Miguel O'Hara post. I would like to point out that the one I used of Miles with his mask off is supposed to be upside down. But I can make another one where he's rightside up. It was the only transparent photo of him with his mask off. I also apologize for the crappy quality of the Gwen photos. They were the only ones I could find with her mask off. Those photos were definitely screen caps taken when Across the Spiderverse was still in theaters.

Order:

Miles Morales - Demi Aroace

Gwen Stacy - Trans (it's based on the popular headcanon of Gwen being Trans based on the fact she had the Trans flag in her bedroom in Across the Spiderverse)

I typed up a little thing on Facebook, where I'm trying to be more open about my struggles and less internal, and I wanted to share it here too, since this is my space to be my weird little robot loving self:

It doesn’t take long for most people to realize I’m a Marvel fan. Usually that comes with a follow up question- who is your favorite character? I love watching the reactions; it’s clear people expect me to say Spider-Man or Iron Man or one of the other, more ‘popular,’ heroes. My favorite reaction when I said it was Vision was a comment made of “That’s a bold choice.”

The Vision certainly isn’t the most popular Avenger, it’s true. I’ve talked with artists at conventions who don’t bother bringing prints of him because they just don’t sell and space is limited. I see the comments on conventions where Mr. Bettany is a guest saying “Is Vision the best you can do?”. It sucks seeing that, and upsets me because every character is important to someone. Yes he’s not the most exciting or action packed hero. He’s kind of silly looking. He’s a thinker more than a fighter. And he’s been treated pretty badly in writing since the late 80’s and forgotten until very recently.

Trying to explain why he’s my favorite would take me days. Even choosing my favorite comic run/issue is hard. I would argue that Tom King’s series The Vision from 2015-16 is my favorite series of all time. I’ve read it over and over, and while it’s contested by some as being out of character I think it’s one of her few times Vision (and more importantly his trauma) has really been explored. I’ll talk about that run in another post maybe. I’m also very fond of some one off issues, like Avengers Spotlight 40 from 1990, where (White) Vision finally seeks help for everything he’s struggling with.

The comic I always reread on really bad days though, the one that really explains what Vision has become for me, is Avengers: No Road Home 10, the finale of the run. When I met Paul Bettany I mentioned this story to him - I don’t know if he’s read it or not, but he was kind enough to listen. In the run the godess Nyx wants to engulf the world in darkness, silencing everything. As someone who fights depression and has for a long time she feels almost symbolic of that. Quiet, calm, darkness and the end of light. She plans on doing this by finding The House of Ideas and destroying it, and at that point the run becomes somewhat metaphorical. Vision is the only Avenger able to follow her in before she closes the door, and ends up in the house - another dimension made of stories, where he faces Nyx alone. Now some context for the run - it begins with Vision, broken beyond repair and almost seeking death, believing he will finally be human if he can find a true death. Wanda and Monica and the others are very upset by this, trying to stop their friend and help him understand that death is not what makes us human (It is Vision after all, who always strives for something he can never truly be, while endlessly embodying the best of humanity despite that). He followed Nyx in because he wanted to die…And then we get this panel.

I won’t spoil much more, it’s a personal favorite run and I highly recommend it, but Vision eventually finds, and then becomes the light that defeats the darkness…using the power of stories, and memories, of his friends. And that’s what he became for me. I think about his stories, and the stories I want to tell about him to fight my own inner darkness. I paint images of him in bright colors and focus on the lights because it makes me feel better. He’s powered by the sun in the comics, and even in the MCU often symbolized with light through hologram like effects and the glowing Mind Stone. WandaVision made it clear he was the bright spot in Wanda’s life too. That’s just who and what Vision is in the Marvel-verses. One issue used the phrase "You were meant to be a Vision of mankind's brightest future" to describe him. And that’s one of the many reasons he’s my favorite. That’s what super hero stories are for I think, inspiring us and showing these silly spandex clad heroes against impossible odds to inspire us to fight the seemingly impossible things in our lives too.

I really love thinking about and writing these sorts of things. I tried blogging about comics and Vision for awhile but people didn’t seem interested. I think I’m going start doing it again for me, because much like my art it makes me happy sharing this silly Synthezoid with the world. Thank you Marvel, I never expected I would be so emotional about a red robot man but here we are.

A few little X-men designs I did for the X-Men of dimension 170 where my story takes place

[anders-hawke]

also going into part two i keep thinking about how Queen Charlotte was specifically done between seasons 2 and 3. we got to see more of QC but also see that dynamic between Lady D and Princess Augusta: the satisfaction that comes with having a worthy adversary and becoming more than you were before, the way that embracing yourself in full gives you power. so then we're getting to see Pen's progression where the more she embraces herself the more she becomes like her LW persona and will cease to separate the two. which would lead very nicely into her changing how she does LW in future seasons. i can't imagine it being retired entirely but perhaps what happens with Pen and the queen's bounty will be similar to Lady D's origins where QC expresses how much she loves having a worthy adversary and that ends the conflict between them. but i also can't imagine Colin's declaration to the ton that Pen is LW not being included since it's such an important moment in their story. idk i'm at a loss because how are you gonna get Julie fucking Andrews in your cast and then after three seasons be like, "thanks, Julie, but you're not needed anymore." lmao. so maybe Pen does retire LW but writes publicly about the goings on of the ton as an up-and-coming... what is it that Violet calls Lady D? "she molds society to her will." Pen is an up-and-coming molder of society. not quite so nasty, not quite so secretly, because she is now appreciated in all the ways she was lacking in before. and also with colin writing stunning (stunningly sad, one could say) erotica in his journal, they could totally write romance novels together.

When do you think Lenny’s stand up set that we saw in the NYT will be in the finale?

not sure! interested in what other people think. my understanding is that he just has those two scenes so it perplexes me a bit. if it matches up with the real lenny set it’s 1965 which is the future but not TOO far… i wonder if the whole ep is set around then?

wherever it is, i’m pretty confident it’s before the chinese restaurant. i think we’re leaving lenny and midgelenny on a “happy” note.
