#miggy talks

i want everyone to know that keeps saying miguel "is not spider-man because he's a different from all the other spider people"... he was actually created to be completely different from peter parker. he's supposed to be different. divergent. he's supposed to be weird and goofy and sarcastic and an asshole. that's just his character.

[mrsoharaa]

when he's distress and he tilts his head back, broad, wide shoulders slouched and exhales a heavy sigh of exhaustion and frustration...runs one hand through his ruffled, perfect hair while the other rests on his chairs armrest. Gazes over at you for a long, protracting moment...thoughts starting to cloud his better judgement. Pants evident of said intruding, corrupted thoughts...flaunting you a sleazy, lazy smirk while patting his left thigh, signaling for you to take a seat on his lap.

thinking abt the marvel pinups swimsuit edition that miguel is in where he’s just off to the side of the actual pinup in a tank top and shorts with a doofy grin on his face staking a big ol beach umbrella in the sand doing his own thing... genuinely unironically one of the few times rick leonardi got 2 draw him just wholeheartedly having a Good Time. somebody take miguel to the beach again he Needs It

Unmasked

something i find interesting, having watched atsv and read dark tomorrow pretty much back to back, is how the two stories approach the concept of a miguel that is past a certain breaking point.

in dark tomorrow he basically gets his spider-man no more moment after losing his brother and fiancee. the events leave him resenting the superhero side of his life, questioning if it was ever worth it if it cost him the people he loves and throwing that side away completely for years. though he can't really help wanting to help others once he started doing so as s-man so instead he loses himself in trying to get alchemax to become a force for good, a way to help everyone in need. and it's all just miguel trying to ignore the guilt and trauma that festered for like five years as he continues to just exist as a shell of a spider-man he was

and then atsv has kinda an opposite of this in a way that after losing his 'daughter' he throws away the miguel side of himself spending every hour of every day as a shell of the spider-man he shouldn't be. we obviously don't have details of his backstory in the movie so i'm just reaching here to comics for help, but if its anything like what happens in the 1992 run, and i'd love nothing more for it to be so, i find it fascinating how he shifts into a version of himself that resembles what he fought against way more than what he's learned and was pushed to become the more time he was spider-man. it's almost like he reverted in a way and was pushed just enough to the side to become that ever watching presence that enforces its rules over what it deems an anomaly. he tries to convince himself it's for the greater good, refuses the thought that he might be in the wrong, because at his core miguel still wants to help people but i don't think he realizes yet just how much he's lost himself there.

both stories have him lose his way but in a completely different matter while still making sense for him to end up either way. and it's what i love seeing when writers push characters over that ledge, a familiarity with just enough there to let you know there's something off, something that tells you they wouldn't act that way in other circumstances but because they were put there it becomes a believable exploration of a character reaching their breaking point (asm back in black my most beloved example of this done well). and then there is a question of how to bring them back from that brink

both versions of miguel still have lyla, a semblance of that life before everything went to shit persisting. but she's not enough and what is needed there is a fresh perspective and the mig from the book gets that in form of anya, reminding him what being a hero means and giving him that little bit of hope that there is something more than even more tragedy waiting around the corner. and i can only guess that atsv miguel might get that harsh reminder from miles, then i'll have two nickels

just gave myself a buzzcut

The Miguel O'Hara era is real

[kairiscorner]

holy fucking shit

ykw i'm gonna be doing this weekend then

@thecoolerdor what do i do

[din-skywalker]

saying this since i see a lot of people getting this wrong:

miguel does not dislike being called miggy. he just prefers if it is friends or family members doing it.

the only things he hates being called are mister o'hara, mike and michael

i've got receipts too >>

[rosebud64]

Ya know at least with Isaac Miggy felt a little bit bad about what happened immediately afterwards. But nah Miggy brings his Star pupil to tears and he's just: "^_^" like ya I know Miggy isn't completely aware of what Muggy does but like bro is on the verge of crying dude most people would put two and two together.

what a fucking bitch! I love him so much!!

I love moral greyness YIPPEE!!

This time, he doesn't even waits to ask as he takes action, sealing up the exits with webbing. For his next move, he turned to LYLA, with instructions to turn off all surveillance devices in this section of the building, so that there would not exist an electronic copy of what was about to be discussed. With this, after LYLA fades from view, does Miguel step towards the brooding brute. Pitching one more attempt to lift him out of his malaise.

"Broly, it's just us now. We need to talk."

The beating of a heart thumped into his eardrums, ire ever growing through the malpractices of tending to his own warring emotions. The mere thought of being tricked into another prison ate away at his mental fortitude, causing an uprising of power instigating harsh rampages in an effort to keep his own body from ripping itself apart. Stress fed onto itself, repeating in a vicious cycle of angering and lashing out in unpredicted outbursts. Reason was dwindling thread by thread, the vile hatred harbored within his heart pulsing and infected outwards to tear apart anything perceived as a threat towards freedom of all constraints.

Prior restraint held by himself felt like a chain around his throat, allies becoming liabilities to a mind tearing itself apart. Bright red lines spread out, latching onto the frames of doors to block machinery from operating at the approach of a walking hurricane. Scorching seas of ki churned within his flesh, the physical manifestations of being trapped instigating a greater need to shatter it all to pieces. Bared fangs grit harshly upon each other, power pulsing with a vicious aura illuminating through the red tinged room. Standing his ground, the Brute faced his 'oppressor' after the cameras were turned off and the golden apparition of the chatty A.I vanished from sight.

Instead of words came a vicious snarl, fists curling tightly until each knuckle was as white as bone. The intense pressure deepened in the room, fury attempting to drown out any attempt at reasoning through the thick haze of scarlet dousing everything in his volatile sight.

@ascendedpath asked; "You should smile more often, you have nice teeth."

It's a helpful suggestion, arising from a place of presumed consideration. A pitch that's meant to ease tensions rather than add to them, washing away the grisliness of certain deeds committed. Such intention, deliberate or not, gets mirrored in the gentle sweep of a navy-blue hand, in a motion that scrubs away traces of crimson as he turns his head towards her.

"Now's... really not the time." Tone raspy with exhaustion, his words are dragged out with a mumble, half-hampered by the guarding press of the same raised hand, covering his lower lip. Spoiling a hoped-for glimpse of pointed ivories as garnet hues eye Samara dubiously.

"They... they hurt."
