#pavs would also b cute

[lildoodlenoodle]

Have we talked about the Miguel Burger yet?

I just wanna know if it was his idea, if he authorized it, or do the other spiders just think it’s rlly fucking funny and do it to annoy the guy?

I need to know WHY

[strangesem]

Dropping in with a request!

Could you do either Miles or Hobie (you can choose) with a Spider person reader who everyone thinks is scary and intimidating but actually just really quiet and shy?

THIS IS SO CUTE (and also very much fits my spider-sona 🤭)

hobie brown x intimidating but shy reader

a/n: I took a brief hiatus bc I’m trying to get my license but I’m back and more feral than ever

FIRST OF ALLL I feel like part of the reason people think you’re intimidating is bc of your spider-suit?

like maybe the mask is “spooky” or it’s super dark or what have you

and if you have good posture that would definitely make you seem sm more intimidating? like you’re just standing there upright saying nothing

even though you’re only quiet bc you’re shy, no one knows that!!!

except for hobie

tbh I feel like he originally approached you to annoy you or knock you down a peg?

but when your response was so quiet and soft he was like ?????

he doesn’t believe in consistency soo you’re basically his new best friend

but genuinely you would both bond so fast, largely due to how well your personalities even each other out

but also because no one else really talked to you bc you seemed “scary”

I also feel like you’d end up forming a trio with pavitr bc he’s too sweet to be intimidating by your “rough exterior”

and pav is the number one supporter of you two getting together I’m serious

“I can feel the tension, you guys should go to dinner after this”

“DID YOU SEE THE WAY HE LOOKED AT YOU? he’s in loooooveee”

speaking or pav; when you first met he *did* get jumpscared a little bit with how quietly you move around, and compared you to a ghost

it really stuck with hobie bc he immediately started calling you “ghostie”

(you’re crushing way too hard at that point to care let’s be real)

once you get together he’ll probably start spending more time in your world; just chilling at your place

teasing you occasionally about how nervous you are to even just open your door and talk to a delivery guy (he WILL do it for you if you ask though he doesn’t care lmao)

he’d also want you to spend a bunch of time in his dimension bc he wants you to go to his shows! go to all his favourite pubs with him!!

but if that’s all to overwhelming for you, even just lounging in his bed is more than enough to appease him

he likes that it smells like you after you leave

also!!! he definitely would want his partner to wear his clothes

if you’re bigger and his “normal” shirts don’t fit you comfortably? he’ll steal some oversized shirts and wear them a bit before handing them off to you!

hobie loves loves LOVES taking part in conversations where people are talking about how intimidating you are bc it’s hilarious to him

peak comedy even

“nah they’re a little cutie pie; couldn’t hurt someone if they tried”

“[spider-sona name]????”

miguel absolutely despises you both though bc hobie’s full time job is already being a menace to him and then you just stand off to the side and stare? WHISPERING TO HOBIE??? he can’t.

peter b parker though? he LOVES you guys. you’re his otp and she will sometimes point to show mayday what “true love” looks like

[amys-books27]

List of characters that are absolutely forbidden to die in Beyond

MAIN MASTERLIST | SPIDER VERSE MASTERLIST | TAGLIST

— ☾⋆⁺₊🌻🖌✧ SPIDER-MILES !

i cannot fathom to you how flustered this boy gets on a regular day when y'all really not doing anything. the boy already really likes how you look in your regular uniform or just casual street clothes so when rio and jeff invite you over for the carne asada/cookout and you popped in a sundress of all things, he kinda doesn't know how to act.

oh, and his parents find it absolutely hilarious. this is really the time where him being jeff's son and aaron's nephew really shines through. he's awkward about it and can't seem to get through any of his sentences.

he really likes the way it fits you and the color compliments you well but he has such a hard time for like a good 30 minutes. eventually, aaron comes to save him and gives him a tip of going to get some drinks for the both of you and take you somewhere private to talk.

not to mention, his whole family thinks you two are too cute for words and takes every chance to mention how much of a good couple you two make. once you come back over to get something to eat, you are bombarded by multiple family members. miles is definitely nervously laughing to get through the embarrassment of all them making the most outlandish comments and gave up after the 4th tia said how lucky he is to have you.

— ☾⋆⁺₊🎸🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 ✧ HOBIE BROWN !

this is literally the world's boldest man ever, he truly don't give a fuck whose watching. you were actually in the middle of a block party when you were called to debrief about a mission. not to be bothered to put on your suit (especially since peter b. walks around in a pink robe of all things), you step through the portal in your sundress and sandals.

certainly not the first time hq has seen you out of uniform but the sundress has you grabbing compliments left and right from all the spider people present (even miguel, which was surprising). it would be hobie to see you last though. he was originally talking to pav who was rambling on about his recent date with gayatri again when he catches a glimpse of you pass by to go into the meeting room with miguel and jessica.

now in my eyes, hobie immediately tunes out of pav's conversation at once to focus all of his attention on you and makes the split decision to follow you in there. it's not like jessica will care enough to kick him out and he does not care what miguel has to say. quite frankly, the man only sees you at the moment and that doesn't even catch up to him until he's right in front of you.

then in the thickest accent possible, he flirts endlessly throughout the entire meeting. the man has no sense of personal space around his friends and it's only ten times worse with you. hanging off your shoulders, wrapping his long arms around your waist, resting his head on your shoulder while hugging from behind. you do your best to acknowledge, because ignoring him will not work and only make it worse, but to also get through the meeting.

it's easy to chalk it up as hobie being a physical person but there's only so much to explain the way he feels up on the material of the dress, making comments that make you feel like you're blushing and distract from whatever miguel was saying before he gave up and just told you to come in later. without hobie.

leaving the meeting was easier than staying in it but now you gotta deal with a very cocky spiderman that is doing his absolute best to talk you into coming back to his dimension. (pav is watching from a distance with a bag of popcorn, squealing over how many of his friends are having romance novel moments)

Charlotte (Ghostflower's daughter) relationship with the spider-anarchirts and her grandparents bc yes:

Miles:Cried from happiness when he knew he was going to be a dad. When Charlotte starts mumbling,Miles always implodes bc his daughter is too cute and pure for this world, Charlotte loves to see her dad drawing. he also does her hair, and when people ask: "Damn girl who does your hair?" and she says: "Oh! It's Mi papá! :)". He calls her "Mi pequena araña" (My little spider in spanish).

Gwen:She was insecure abt the pregnancy,but in a time she started to see that she was waiting one of the most important person in her life. Gwen is really caring with Charlotte, she always knows what Charlotte wants and gives all the love her daughter deserves. Gwen calls her "Char-Char" or "'lotte".

Hobie:He was really caring with Mayday in ATSV, so take care of another spider-kid wouldn't be a problem to him. Hobie was the one who stayed most of the time next to Gwen when she was pregnant of Charlotte and he was the first one to know that Gwen was going to have a baby with Miles.Hobie gave Charlotte a green frog onesie and she started wearing that onesie like a pajama.

Pavitr:He's the protective uncle,always help Charlotte and gives so many gifts to her. He would defintely buy tons of baby clothes and toys for Charlotte when Gwen was still pregnant of her. Pav calls Charlotte "Grahan" (Eclipse in hindi),Pavitr loves to babysit her every time he has a chance.

Peter B. and Mayday: He often sees Charlotte,but when he sees,he's really happy abt his niece,he gave most of Mayday's old plushies to her. Mayday plays hide 'n' seek with Charlotte sometimes,even that Mayday is really older than Charlotte,they get along pretty well. Mayday does friend bracelets to Charlotte

Noir,Ham and Peni: They often sees her, they love their niece still. Noir can't carry Charlotte bc he's kinda clumsy and Ham neither bc Charlotte when sat is taller than him lol. Peni is the only of team B who can carry Charlotte on her arms.

Margo:Always plays with Charlotte using their tech-powers,they let her play those dress up flash games,that still exists on Byte's universe. They make jokes abt Charlotte looking so similar to them when they were younger.

Rio and Jeff: Charlotte passes her vacation with her abuelos,and they go really well with their grand-daughter. Rio would give a lot of candies to Charlotte even that she can't eat those. Jeff is the grandpa who has a joke to every situation.

George Stacy: Charlotte passes her vacations with her another grandpa too, George loves his grand-child very much. He bought a lots of things to her when he knew he was going to be a grandpa. He gave those plushies Gwen had on her room to Charlotte.

Plus:Miguel is dead in the future,so, he doesn't know nothing abt Miles and Gwen being married and having their daughter,Charlotte. Jessica is the current leader of the spider-society,but she stopped to have any interaction with the spider-anarchirts after BTSV.

[13keithxpidge13]

Hi! I love your Scarlet Witch Au! I have some questions!

With your Scarlet Witch Hobie Au! How does Hobie react with seeing our miles? Does he get déjà vu? Instantly goes into protective mode? Does he break out of the jail he was put in to get to miles? Does he think this is he’s second chance to be with Miles? Also what does Miles think of Scarlet Witch Hobie?

In a scene ya'll might see later, Hobie is released from the ancient cube that was keeping him held for those four years in his exile. He was kept in a deep vault inside HQ. Only Miguel, Lyla, and The Doctor Strange Spider-Man knew what was inside those giant double doors that no one else could get in to. Due to The Spot shaking up the multiverse though, it allowed Hobie to slip from his chains and back into reality.

Miguel, of course, is notified that there's been a breach and he along with the rest of the main cast rush to see what's happened and-well, that's where they find Hobie just getting back in touch with reality, standing on shaky legs and beginning to try and work with his magic again.

"No," Miguel gasps out and is immediately racing to stop him, the others around him completely confused. "No!"

Hobie's head shoots up and their eyes meet.

Immediately, he wastes no time in creating a portal, walking ever so slowly backwards towards it because there's no way Miguel will reach him in time and, even if he could, Hobie's magic is already configuring itself back to his body, already morphing and shifting and getting back to one hundred percent.

Hobie smirks and raises his head.

"Cya, mate," He taunts as he takes another step back into the portal.

"Stop!" Miguel shouts.

His fingers curl and red flares from his digits as he glances to the side, catching sight of the crowd growing by the open entry way to his prison.

And, just as the portal's about to close-

Hobie's eyes widen and he inhales sharply.

Brown skin, dark frizzled curly hair, deep, emotional, gorgeous, caramel eyes that meet his own-

Miles.

The portal closes-and he exhales.

(Of course, this leads to Hobie's slow downward spiral. For one, he wants revenge on Miguel for destroying his universe and killing the Miles he fell in love with but, now, he has a more important goal; to get Miles back, to have his happiness again, to have everything that was taken from him returned.

Blah blah blah, plot plot, THEY MEET AGAIN! Pretty much inspired by the Scarlet Witch and Dr. Strange face off after Wanda gets out of the mirror dimension soooo this is kinda in the middle of a scene, sorry if that's a little distracting!)

"What the fuck," Hobie deadpans as he stares at his variant.

The Hobie of Earth 99934 looked weary as though he had been fighting a war his whole life. Bags stained underneath his dark eyes, his uniform that was so obviously created with his magic was a dark red with black cracks spreading through it all, starting where his heart would be. It was as his madness had manifested onto his physical form, so much pain, so much grief, so much of it that it could not be contained.

He had long dreads that were tied in a bun at the top of his head, locks falling past his shoulders and towards the middle of his back. Crystals hung from the ends of some of his strands, red crystals that were glowing on their own. A crown rested atop his head, rusted and broken.

Miles clings to Hobie, shaking and terrified. Gwen stands beside them, tense and ready to fling herself at the enemy. Pav is on the other side of them, glaring. Peter B stood in front of them, protecting them alongside Jessica, Miguel, Noir, Peni, and Ham.

"Who are you?" Miles whispers and Variant Hobie smiles at him. He had never looked away from him.

"Hobie Brown," He replies. "Of Earth 99934."

Miles' brows furrow.

"How did you escape the seal?" Miguels demands, tense and completely on edge. "It shouldn't be possible."

They all glance at him, confused. Seal?

"It's cute how ya' think that yer little box would keep me held forever," Variant Hobie laughs. "How ya' think it would keep me from him."

"You're a monster," Miguel snaps.

"Oh, yes," Variant Hobie chuckles. "Me. I'm not the one who destroyed an entire universe just so I could play house with my fake daughter and wife."

Miguel doesn't say anything at that so Variant Hobie continues, walking around them ever so slowly, like a predator waiting to strike.

"Nah, I jus' tried to be happy, to take back what was stolen from me," He growls, eyes flaring red. "By you."

"What?" Gwen perks up. "Miguel, what is he talking-?"

"They don't know?" Variant Hobie pauses in his next steps, puzzled. "Ya' mean to tell me, they don't even fuckin' know? Ya' never told them of yer greatest failure? Of yer greatest mistake? Of how ya' destroyed my entire world? How ya' killed the love of my life? How ya' took everything from me?"

They're stunned into silence. Miguel looks impossibly sorrowful and ashamed.

Variant Hobie scoffs. "Well, I suppose I wouldn't tell anyone how I destroyed an entire universe and killed billions of people except fo' one person, exiling them and taking away everythin' they had, either."

"You were the only one to survive?" Miles breathes, astonished and impossibly horrified. "But...how?"

"Oh, my love," Variant Hobie turns soft seemingly on automatic. But, his eyes were blank, dark, like black holes. "Ya' don't wanna know how."

Miles shudders.

"Oi," Hobie frowns and glares at his variant, working to keep Miles from his view. He didn't like the look in this guy's eyes. "Whateva' beef ya' got wit' Miguel ain't our problem. Settle this between the two of ya'll, we ain't got nothin' ta' do with this."

Variant Hobie hums. "I would agree with ya', but..." He trails off. "Ya'll have somethin' I want."

He points behind Hobie and directly at Miles.

They all tense.

Miles sputters. "I-what?"

"Sorry, no can do," Gwen speaks up, practically growling. "Get the hell out of here before we beat your ass, man."

"Yeah, what the hell makes you think we're just going to hand our friend over?!" Pav screams. "You're crazy, man!"

Hobie turns to his variant, a hand on his guitar.

"Sorry, mate," He tells him. "I think it's best if ya' leave. Now."

Variant Hobie sighs and shakes his head.

"I wanted ta' be gentle," He says to them and the ground beneath them shakes. "I wanted ta' reason with ya'll but, I suppose there's no reason ta' talk."

His eyes flare and all of the Spider's go in the defensive and-

"Wait! Stop!" Miles screams and rushes between all of them, holding out both hands between both groups and everyone pauses. "Stop, please. We can-" He turns to Hobie's variant, pleading. "We can talk this out, yeah?"

Variant Hobie stares at him as though he's trying to grab ahold of Miles' soul.

"Miles!" Peter B yells. "Get back here!"

"Just-" Miles gasps. "Let's just hear him out, okay? I don't want to fight if we don't have to."

"You're so alike," Variant Hobie breathes, mesmerized. "Just like him. Ya' always want ta' choose the peaceful way out."

Miles' brows furrow in confusion. "What?"

"Ya' want ta' know my side of the story?" Variant Hobie asks as he stands up straight and his fingers flare red, curling in the air as he twists his hands. "Fine. I'll show ya' my story."

Miles yelps as red magic flickers in front of him and he goes tread milling backward as he moves out of the way of his aura. Then, suddenly, an ancient looking, glowing book appears in front of them and Miles stares, astonished.

"The Darkhold," Miguel whispers. "You still have it."

"It's connected ta' me, bloody idiot," Variant Hobie growls. "Of course I still have it."

Peter B pales. "How-?"

"When Miguel decided to say fuck all and play fake daddy," Variant Hobie snarls and visions in red light up in front of them, showing what they had all previously seen; Miguel's daughter fading in his arms. "It caused my universe to become disrupted and everythin' disappeared. All of it. Gone."

Then, the shapes in red changed and Miles' eyes widened as he recognized well-himself.

"I met Miles when I first joined the Avengers," Variant Hobie explains and the visions morph into both Miles and the variant, showing them chatting and laughing together. "He was funny, caring, kind, and beautiful. He accepted me with no problem and we became fast friends..."

"We went on missions togetha' all the time. We hung out every chance we could get and-"

His voice breaks.

"We were supposed to get married."

Miles' lips part.

Oh.

Oh.

It all makes sense now.

This feeling that was radiating from him, from this variant it was-

It was grief.

Variant Hobie huffs a distorted laugh as his fingers curl and the book closes. "Every night," He says. "The same dream. Then, every morning, the same-"

Their eyes meet and Miles shudders.

"Nightmare."

The Darkhold disappears, along with the red visions and imagery and Variant Hobie sighs, dusting off his long skirt.

"But, I suppose it doesn't matter now," He says, trailing off into a whisper as he turns away to hide his face. "None of it matters now..."

Miles swallows thickly, taking a step back.

Miguel is the first one to step towards him, taking a defensive stance in front of him and Miles stares up at him, surprised.

"Like they said," Miguel starts. "Your business is with me. Let them leave."

Variant Hobie eyes him for a few moments. Seconds tick by as everyone seems to hold their breath, waiting for the moment to strike, to jump in and stop this variant.

"This doesn't need to end in bloodshed," Variant Hobie smiles bitterly. "Give me what I want and I'll let you all live."

They let his words sink in.

"What..." Gwen breathes. "What do you want?"

Miles could see the flashbacks behind those dark, red eyes.

"I'll get what I want," Variant Hobie snaps. "Then, no one, not a single goddamned soul in this multiverse will ever take it from me-"

His hands light up and orbs glow blood red as he glares at Miguel.

"-again."

And then, all hell breaks loose.

It was just a normal day at the Spider HQ. Undecorated, unspooky, normal day as ever. No fake blood, no edible skulls or zombie cookies -nothing; standing out amidst a very festive Nueva York. Miguel doing his Miguel things as all the Spider's spend their day in their regular spidey suit and as unfestive as possible.

That was, until their spidey senses tingled.

A blur of black and pink shoots through the entrance, swinging and screaming as they pass through to the main hall.

"TIRCK OR TREAT, ARACHNO-FOLKS!"

Pavitr Prabhakar's voice rings loud through the establishment, the hoodie of his onesie flipping back to reveal his ever-amazing luscious raven hair. He lands and plays with his bangles, watching you do a somersault between the gaps in the lanes and land beside him.

You screech out a "HAPPY HALLOWEEN, Y'ALL!", waving your plastic jack-o-lantern candy bucket around and holding it up for treats.

The perplexed face of Miguel O'Hara, however, stops you in your tracks.

Dang. [Cue dramatic music]

"What the hell!?", he sputters, baffled at your appearance. "And what is that costume?!"

"I'm Kuromi!", Pavitr says enthusiastically, gesturing to the pink skull on his forehead and the black devil tail on his costume.

"And, I'm My Melody!" Your pink bunny ears flopping around as you begin to explain the characters excitedly.

Miguel crosses his arms over his chest, halting you short -the least bit amused. "Did I not say no parties inside the HQ? We have more important work than dressing up for a sugar high."

His menacing glare can be seen from a mile away, but you won't let that faze you. Not today.

"But, señor Miguel, it's Halloween!" Pavitr and you pout, making puppy eyes at him.

He's stubborn. "Get rid of the ridiculous costume. Now."

"No!", you say, not backing down. "We want a Halloween party! Party! Party! Party!"

Miguel grows even more annoyed when some other spideys, including Spider-ham, join in the chant. A hand lays on his shoulder.

"Let them, O'Hara, they're children", Jessica says. "A little party ain't gonna do nobody no harm. Plus, it's HAL-LO-WEEN!"

She turns around, her black and red velvet cape flying behind her, and looks up from behind the stiff collar like Dracula. She winks at you. "Looking cute, kiddos!"

"You too?- ugh!" Miguel groans and turns to you. "Costumes. Off. Now. Nobody here is going to party!"

You pout, just when your spidey senses tingle again.

"Did somebody say Party?"

Miles, Gwen, Hobie and Peter B, with May Parker on the baby carrier, wearing Halloween outfits land in a perfect line beside you guys.

"Uhh.....", drags Morales as he looks at Hobie in his usual attire, but more colourful. "You didn't dress up."

"I have. I'm anarchy."

"Yeah, very creative", Miles retorts, earning an elbow from Gwen.

"Who are you dressed up as, again?" Hobie wears a smug smile, gesturing to the imitation Spider-punk suit Miles is parading around in. The Brit leans down his ear as if to whisper a conspiracy. "I'll admit bruv, you look much more cooler, now."

Miles doesn't reply as Hobie pats his shoulder and moves past him with a smirk. This encourages the other spideys to reveal their own costumes that they've hidden under their suits.

"You planned this beforehand? Without my knowledge?!"

You guys blush sheepishly but O'Hara has moved on to a more ridiculous sight that just walked in.

"And what are you supposed to be?", he asks Peter B, eyes squinted as he judges the medieval costume he's wearing.

"I'm the Mandalorian and this is my cute, sweet little baby Yoda", he says, holding May Parker up in the air like the Lion King. She giggles, making her father coo. "May the force be with us!"

O'Hara shoots him a deadpan glare.

Miguel's brows twitch, shooting betrayed looks at the 'adults' who were supposed to supervise such naughtiness.

Jessica playfully rolls her eyes, trying to coax him. "It's okay to let a little loose  sometimes, big guy."

Miguel internally sighs but doesn't show it on his face, though everyone knows he caved in. "You party, You clean."

A loud hurray erupts in the room. Soon, you begin to make skulls, ghosts and various spooky animal shapes from your web solutions, hanging it around the place. Hobie brings a few jack-o-lanterns using his Gizmo imitation watch, Gwen brings candy and at the end of half an hour, everything is set for merriment.

Miguel shakes his head and tries to walk away but Peter B persuades him to join. "C'mon, old man! Trick or treat?"

It's the first time most spideys see Miguel genuinely smile. He has many a cool trick up his sleeve, no doubt what he used to entertain his daughter with. You watch in awe, trying out a few yourselves.

"Is that a trick I see coming my way, Kuromi?", you ask, catching Pavitr trying to sneak candy from your bucket to his.

"Oh, absolutely, My Melody!"

He starts chasing you around as you scream and run. Decors and other stuff are knocked over, but nobody cares. Even Miguel chuckles watching you get tangled in the decor webs while Pavitr takes advantage of it to steal all your candies.

Worst trick, but Best Halloween ever! _____

Hope you enjoyed it! 😉 Thank you for reading and Happy Halloween!!!! 🎃👻

[imagine-silk]

I LOVE YOUR PETER B PARKER AND YOUNGER AUTISTIC READER FICS. THEYRE AMAZING!! CAN WE PLEASE GET MORE? I DONT CARE WHAT THE SCENARIO IS, BUT ID LIKE IT TO BE FLUFFY/LIGHT HEARTED.

》 ARE WE YELLING NOW? THANK YOU FOR YOUR EXCITEMENT AND ASK, IT MEANS A LOT.

His favoritism is blatant and as subtle as a parade float, that's nothing new. Yours is. At first it's just that he could get away with touching you, shoulder clasps and such, but after a while you prolonged it by not moving. When you realized it you then initiated it. Straight up walked up and leaned on him while he was talking to someone. Others are jealous, especially because he will not shut up about it.

The closest person to Peter's status is Hobie. He is a naturally touchy person so it's usually fine if you're neural or higher, it can be allowed, or at least shaken off. That being said, he's also the most punched out of everyone. Not that your always in a bad mood, he goes up to you at random sometimes and startles you, even if you were in a good mood.

Gwen was a yes in your book, she just really passed the vibe check the first time you met her. And she generally cleaned up her mistakes so it was usually forgiven on the spot. There are a few times it took a while to forgive her though. Like the time she opened your collectable.

Pav was so difficult to describe to you. He just ran around and said exactly what he meant. It was very nice for you. But he was also very adamant on his goal to be better than Peter and become the new favorite. It was very cute and you didn't really know how you felt about it so you just didn't think about it and enjoyed his company.

Now Miles was and is annoyed he started late in the race. To becoming your favorite of course. Everyone else knew you and he just got there. He tries to cheat and gives you things. Things that sometimes fail miserably or hit completely. If you smile at him your being polite and just taking it, the more strained it is the more you don't like it. If your face goes blank it's a hit. Added with the statement that is something like 'thank you' or 'you have no idea how excited I am' he knows he hit the jackpot. He also does this away from the others so they don't get any ideas.

Miguel and you share a common enemy; you're both not funny, at least not intentionally. But you're both kinda fine with it. He had work to do and you wanted work to do. The others laughing around you was nice though, another common thought you had.

As for hyper-fixations Miles is the first one to figure out things. You have a new book in your hands and pots of plants with a coffee press on the counter. Two plus two equals you're trying to make coffee completely by hand. Pavitr would be the one to take time to learn about the things you do to the fullest extent he could, balancing school and home life. But after all of that Miguel is actually the one to take you place to do things, he has money and a driver's license.

Speaking of Miguel, he would never admit it but he was also fighting for first place, he just didn't have a lot of time to do it. He's a busy man who takes work he really should just delegate. So if Peter's gone for awhile he'll pick up the slack before you start to decline. It's all under the guise of you doing him a favor or vice versa. You said he needed to go out and touch grass so it was a good way to make both of you to do it.

Having said all of this, Peter will still never be dethroned. He's not blind, you like everyone else, he's just better. To say you boosted his ego would be the world's biggest understatement.

[hows-my-handwriting]

Into the Rift (spiderverse!pacific rim au)

so going into more detail because the actual drawings are coming along really slowly xD (i love drawing robots but coming up with original robot design hard)

The story would be essentially the same as the movies where a mysterious rift opens up in the bottom of the Pacific ocean releasing giant monsters. To combat them, the world governments join together for the good of humanity and create the Jaegers. Those are giant robots piloted by two people through a process called a 'drift'.

The only thing that changes is the characters and the story developed from that idea.

this post has been sitting in my drafts for like a month now oml

(loooooong wordvomit under the cut)

So the jaeger program is basically a stand in for the spider society and all the spiderfolk are pilots or staff. Everyone is also aged up 2 or 3 years to cover international military requirements and such.

and for the sake of the story having a 'pilot shortage' in which only the lucky few being able to actually pilot a jaeger, drifting is much harder and rarer. this leads to the program accepting younger applicants than they normally would. (eg. miles, pav, peni etc)

(character list in order of rank or.. something)

Miguel (34-35) is the stand in for the marshal. I'm not totally sure if he *is* the marshal or not? because he could absolutely just be the pilot manager or the mission overseer. but for now we shall stick with marshal. He primarily serves as the head of the department and representative for the pilot body. He also doubles as a pilot of a gen 1 jaeger (Blue Revenge*) with Peter B Parker, previously Jessica Drew.

Jessica (34-35) is Miguel's ex copilot. She served for two years and during a faux time of inactivity from the rift, she and her husband decided to try for a child. She was called back during the next attack but in the post-fight medical checks, she was ordered to go on maternity leave. She did, for a couple months, but very quickly felt frustrated that she wasn't helping. She moved back into the military base and instead took up a leadership position in combat training. I think her rank would be lieutenant but I don't know enough about the military to make that official.

Peter B Parker (42-43) is a retired pilot. He served as a pilot up until the gen 3 jaegers went into production and was sent home when he got a major back injury. During his time off he started a family in his old New York home and began to forget about the jaegers and the war. He chose to live in ignorant bliss until it all came back when he was summoned back. He brought his entire family, despite the many warnings, and has rather enjoyed his grand return. Currently copilots with Miguel in the Revenge*. Previously piloted the Crimson Core*.

Ben Reilly (24-25) is a jet pilot. Previously a jaeger pilot of the Scarlet Gutter that was decommissioned after it suffered extreme damage in a fight he took solo with a class 2 kaiju. His twin brother was his copilot and died early on in the fight. He currently pilots a fighter jet as backup. The impact of that fight still haunt him and everyone knows to leave him be.

LEGO Spiderman (24-25) and Peter Parkedcar (25-26) are two unrelated pilots that are drift compatible. LEGO Spiderman (Lee Godwin aka LE-GO for short) has a chronic condition with locking joints and Peter Parkedcar is a selective mute. They pilot the Titanium Wall that is essentially just an immovable object to the kaiju's unstoppable force. Yes this is a meme lineup. Laugh.

Peter Porker (31-32) is the head of research. He's john mulaney in all aspects except for occupation. He is more of the morale backbone of the entire operation and spends more time out of the lab making sure to bring a smile to everyone's faces. He wears a cute pig beanie when out and about. He always has candy on him and is famous in the kitchen for hot dogs. No one knows where he gets the hot dogs from, since those are rarely stocked. There's a rumor going around that it's kaiju meat, not beef. Absolutely fascinated kaiju and a biology fanatic.

Margo Kess (20-21) is the head of technology. She's the surveillance guy who takes orders directly from Miguel and is in charge of relaying commands and judging actions on the battlefield. She's a young college graduate- more accurately a child prodigy- and took the first opportunity she had to put her skills to the test. She's very friendly and will always get to know the pilots personally. Drift compatible but has avoided training to not have people learn about her strained home life.

Peni Parker (17-19) is the daughter of the head of engineering. She is just under the required age to actually assume the position but has the most knowledge on jaeger design of anyone else in the program aside from her father. Her father was killed when one of the outposts was destroyed in a kaiju attack. Parentless, the organization arranged for her to stay at the main base, waiting for her 21st birthday so she can acquire an actual rank. Had a personalized jaeger her father had been slowly building, fit for one person, that she's slowly been working on to one day pilot in combat.

Peter Benjamin Parker (Benji or Ben for short) (22-23) was hired as the strategy lead after his impressive work as a police/military investigator. Had a lot of experience with international crime networks and hand picked by Peter B. He was enthusiastically handed over to the Jaeger program after he got just a bit too close to some apocalypse-profiting corruption. No one really knows why, but he's taken more of a liking to pilot training and has shied away from Miguel's leadership team and more towards Jessica and the recruits. He has a good eye for cadets with amazing potential and even applied to be a pilot himself, stepping away almost entirely from any kind of leadership role. Pilots Silver Noir with Hobie(**).

Hobie Brown (20-22) is a pilot. He was recruited early on as one of Britain's undesirables and turned out drift compatible. He was assigned a jaeger that was built and sponsored by the British Government named the Union Jack. Disgusted, he refused to respond to that name and instead calls his jaeger the Stark Screamer. The name has been adopted by command and no one has bothered to correct it. His pilot quit for unknown reasons after only a year on the field and the Screamer was retired until they can find another pilot to partner with him. Has been paired with Benji for the time being.

Gwen Stacy (18-19) is the youngest pilot to date but more than capable of jaeger combat. She was brought in by Jess, despite her father's refusal, and skipped all cadet training except for the essentials and given a jaeger assignment almost immediately. She was picked out when her father, a military rep instead of a cop, was visiting one of the bases that Jess happened to be in. She showed incredible potential in [insert event that im not 100% sure about yet] and was incredibly interested. Originally paired with Hobie because of their similarity in hobby and age. They were drift compatible but she didn't like the Screamer's kit or fighting style and requested a new assignment. She's still best bros with Hobie though. She marks the beginning of the youth recruitment.

Pavitr Prabhakar (17-18) is a cadet in training. He volunteered along with a large number of Indian civilians to chase the fame and glory that surrounded the now-martyred jaegers. Of the hundreds, he and a handful of his peers were selected and he was sent to his specific branch to complete training. He is drift compatible with almost anyone. Having no sense of fear or darkness in his past or his present, he's an incredible asset- if not a little naive. He and Hobie became best friends as soon as they met and has been promised to pilot the Screamer when he completes his training.

Miles Gonzalo Morales (17-18) is a new cadet starting training. He was supposed to be one in a pair but his twin was stuck in Spain with a travel complication. Miles could wait a couple months though and eagerly started training. He was selected because he had an identical twin- which are usually assumed to be drift compatible- but ended up being paired and drift compatible with Gwen. Despite him not having clearance, Gwen and many others think he shows enough potential to pilot a jaeger within the first month of his stay. He is currently assigned to a new jaeger in production: a gen 4 titan named the Clawed Viper***

Mateo Davis Morales (17-18) is a future cadet. He and his twin were split up before highschool for [insert reason i haven't figured out yet here] and he moved to Spain to finish his highschool education and eventually enlist in the jaeger program. However, due to transportation delays and possibly finances, when he and his twin were drafted, Mateo was stuck in Spain until nearly three months later. Just in time for . . . well, the drama (tm).

*Blue Revenge is not final. i don't know if i like it or not but the other option was the blue panther, for the shits and giggles. pretty sure i want to keep the blue but idk. Crimson Core is also a placeholder, but it does sound cooler

**Silver Noir is not final. I want to work in Noir somewhere and make a matte black jaeger but not a lot of words go with 'Noir'

***Clawed Viper is not final. Viper is final, but again, not a lot of words go with 'Viper'

[qirarey123]

About Gabrielle, she had a good childhood, but unfortunately she lost her papá Miguel to an aggressive brain tumor, but he was able to attend her quinceañera before he succumbed to his illness a couple months later.

She wasn’t really affected by the mutation, aside from some lizardlike traits such as her body going into early brumation in cold temperature, but one of the wildest things that happened to her was when she got pregnant.

The lizard that bit her contained Komodo dragon DNA, and it made her be able to go through parthenogenesis, which is the ability to procreate without a male involved. Gabrielle panicked at first, due to the fact that she was still a minor, but with the help from her uncle and mom, as well as the Arachkids(Hobie, Gwen, Miles, Pav, Marco, Peni), she was able to deliver the baby, which was actually just a very large egg.

She made a “nest” out of a small blanket, a box, and an incubator her uncle Gabriel gave her, since he’s an exotic veterinarian. One of the signs that she retained her humanity was that Gabrielle has a soft spot for babies and children, due to when she started dying from cuteness when Peter B showed her Mayday.

The egg hatched, and a little baby boy was welcomed into the world, and Gabby named him Connor. Like Gabrielle, he was an anthropomorphic lizard, and due to the lizard that gave Gabrielle her mutation, he had some small fluffy feathers on his head that substituted hair. Connor was born mute, as well as autistic, but instead of getting an Ipad like Miguel(2099) suggested, Garbrielle decided to teach him sign language. His favorite sign language words are “I love you”, “mama”, “abuelo”(grandpa/grandfather), “happy”, “quesadilla” and “playtime”. I have a feeling Hobie also knows sign language and has little conversations with him.

Connor has a little nest of trinkets on his bed that Gabrielle calls his “hoard” because she calls him her “little dragon man”. Gwen had trouble moving on from the lizard incident, but she couldn’t help getting mushy around little Connor when she would visit Gabrielle.

Anyways, that’s the drabble for today. If you wanna see more drabbles like this, lemme know!!

Hello again!

Fr, Connor sounds cute and I really like to imagine the spiderkids babysitting him sometimes like they did with mayday

[erigold13261]

For a change of mood, can we get your queer/pronoun HCs for the Spiderverse cast so far? I love you platonically!

Aw thanks! I care for you as well! (also you help prove my point that people come to me asking for my opinions lol, so thank you for that!)

But uh, I don't really have any queer headcanons outside of what has already become known on this blog lol. For some reason I just can't put effort into making headcanons for these characters. I think it's because they are a lot more established than the NSR characters and have lots of lore behind them.

I'll try to give what I do have so far though! Maybe a new one will pop up while typing this.

-Peni using kit/kitself pronouns

-Hobie using it/they pronouns mainly

-Actually, I like aroace Hobie too! Put that one down for me as well!

-Miles being bisexual

-Gwen is straight and trans

-Ganke is probably gay. I have a few asks with him I still need to answer about that I think.

-I don't personally have this, but there's an ask for T4T Pav and Gaya which I think is super cute (and hope to draw for so sorry that hasn't been answered yet).

-Peter Porker being genderfluid, or like some kind of genderfluid (like librafluid or something like that on the agender spectrum).

-I don't know anything about Jessica's lore, but I like the idea her husband is a transman and they used IVF or a sperm donor for Jess to get pregnant (Jess sees herself as straight but she is in a queer relationship so kinda counts for this)

-There was an ask about Miguel being a lesbian that I kinda liked (another one I want to draw for). Though I think personally I won't be using this headcanon, it is a cool one to think about like the T4T Pav and Gaya one!

-Noir being agender. Or somewhere on that spectrum. I forget what an asker sent in for a specific label, maybe it was agender switched from NB (or the other way around), either way they/them Noir!

-Honestly T4T MJ and Peter B is one that I might lean into

-Lesbian Margo is one I am thinking of leaning into as well (mainly because someone sent an ask for Margo and Tila which I honestly think is so cute and again want to draw that).

-Also Peni and Yinu becoming a couple (another ask I got) is something I can see happening (Yinu in the NSpidR AU is about 13 going on 14 and Peni would be about 14 going on 15, somewhere in that range. Similar with Margo and Tila, Margo is like 17, maybe 18, for me while Tila is 18 maybe about to be 19 if Margo is 18. I don't have set ages honestly).

-Um... I don't know, I kinda like the idea that the Vulture is a gay old man that acts like those two muppets that make fun of everyone lol. Him and Elivy could talk mad trash about stuff hehe

-Olivia might be an aroace lesbian.

-I definitely think Jonathan has some queerness to him but don't know exactly what (now all I can think of are glory hole jokes lol!)

So yeah, I think that's all I got. Got a few new ones along with acknowledging some asks I got from a while ago I do plan on trying to answer at some point. Honestly most of these were from asks that I got from other people and I just absorbed their headcanons into my canon lol.

Especially that Peter Porker one! I initially was gonna have him be the cishet one of the group but then the whole looney tunes/bugs bunny genderfluid thing came up and I just had to incorporate that!

Anyway, thanks for the ask! My inbox has quite a few asks I plan to answer (and to not answer) so hopefully I can get the ball rolling on those! I just am also trying to draw a comic, get commissions done, redesign OCs and get a job. So a lot of stress, but I'm overall happy! (and now I'm just full on rambling lol. Have a good day/night! You deserve it!)

[catboygretzky]

to answer this anon!!!!!!

OKAY a list of each reason i think [insert team] should win/why they look like contenders -

STARTING WITH ROUND ROBIN (THIS IS GOING TO BE VERY VERY LONG):

boston: reasons they’re contenders - bc they’re good. reason they should win - N/A bc i hate them.

tampa bay: kinda those ‘i never really think about you but apparently you’re good?’ teams. i think it would be WILD if a florida team won idk i can’t say i want them too but it would be kinda quirky if they did. also they have to stay in hotel x and like? the spite from that may just mean they’re contenders

wsh: see boston.

flyers: contenders because they were on a madcore streak, tho obviously that was months ago. a lot of young talent, mayhaps not a great deal of experience which may have an effect on how well they do. a lot of emotion behind their game, especially with the whole ‘oskar strong’ business (see dupuis, c 2016). also i love them and want giroux to win a cup.

blues: see boston and wsh.

avs: contenders because they have a LOT of talent. i think nate mac is one of the best forwards in the league (nate for hart 2k20) but he’s not their ONLY talent, which is important. again, not a great deal of playoff experience but only so many teams and players DO have that. (but, then again they have multiple cup winners on their team, after all) also i love them.

vgk: i’ll be honest. i feel nothing re: vegas. like, i have no desire to watch their games but i do appreciate how extra and flashy they are and i would kill for flower BUT the fact that they ALMOST won already and haven’t been around long is pretty swaggy and i think that would be cool. also i want flower to have another cup.

dallas: well, i love them and want old man pavs to get a cup. i think their defensive game is SUPER strong and they have two good goalies, which will help with teams that rely on offense. they also have a great deal to prove, and that can really help a team win.

QUALIFYING NOW (I TOLD YOU THIS WOULD BE LONG):

pens: ok i’m not even saying this as a pens fucker, but i think if i had to choose a team to win RIGHT NOW it would probably be pittsburgh. obviously, we don’t truly know, but bc these playoffs are fucking strange, the incredible amount of playoff experience will REALLY come in to play. guentz is back as well, and he’s known for fucking it up madcore in the playoffs. they also have a LOT of depth. ALSO I WANT OLD MAN PATTY MARLEAU TO HAVE A CUP MORE THAN ANYONE IS THAT SO WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THE NARRATIVE!!!!!!!!!!! AND I WANT SID TO HAVE MORE CUPS THAN PK*NE!!!!!

canes: again, i love them and therefore that’s the only reason i need. they’re fun and quirky and they give off good vibes. they have a LOT of talent as well, and while a lot of their talent is quite young their captain is already a cup winner (also i want jordy to win another cup).

isles: they’re.......well they’re average and i don’t REALLY want them to win but i want ebs to have a cup bc it’s what he deserves. also mat barzal’s nostrils deserve a cup. but mostly ebs.

leafs: ok i would like to preface this with ‘it would be very sad if the cup the leafs won was a fucked up one like this’. they have a LOT of talent, obviously, but they really need to get it together fdsjkgh they rely on offense WAY too much, their defense/penalty kill is - well. i don’t want to be rude, but they need to work on that. a lot. i LIKE the leafs, i do!!!!! but there’s a reason they don’t get past the first round, and it’s bc they haven’t shown the GRIT that’s needed for the playoffs. i do wish them the best tho. do it for steve dangle’s new baby!!!!!!

blue jackets: another team i never think about like, ever, unless they’re playing my teams. they don’t.....idk they don’t stick out to me at all but zach werenski has a mullet now so there’s a reason. 

panthers: like tampa, a florida team winning would be sexy bc florida needs the serotonin right now. they should win bc they meow to each other sometimes. is there any other reason than that? 

rangers: see boston, blues, and caps, minus the part about them being good. BUT! i do love a bit of mika and would be pleased for hank obviously, he’s the king u feel. 

habs: ok carey price is my dad and they should win just for him. also the narrative of ‘they sucked so bad but still managed to get into the playoffs’ is kinda fun. i can’t say they’re contenders, but must reaffirm that i love carey price.

oilers: hooo boy. again, i do like the oilers. i want davo to get a cup, i would kill for ethan bear, yamamoto, and ryan nugent hopkins. i think they have a LOT of talent, but like the leafs.....defense, man, defense. they rely on mcdavid and draisaitl and that won’t cut it for the playoffs. AGAIN, I WOULD BE HAPPY IF THEY WON.

preds: i would never go out of my way to root for the preds, but the fans seem to have a fun time ya know? the fans have a fan time and therefore they should be able to have a fun time. they’re...they’re not BAD, but i wouldn’t say ‘PREDS WILL WIN’. they have a lot of fight in them, tho

canucks: again, i love them and isn’t that enough? they have a LOT of (young) talent (ie petey, brock, huggy, etc), and while that’s going to be great for the future, there is the possibility that the lack of playoff experience can be a hindrance. tho a lot of their young talent went to uni, so they have experience in THAT regard. DO IT FOR GUNNAR AND GUS HORVAT AND BROCK’S HAIR.

flames: my feelings in regards to the flames can be summed up by saying ‘i only care about them when they go feral v the oilers’. B U T i love johnny hockey and think he and ratty matty’s handshake is cute. also i have a soft spot for matty, but not big enough that i’d root for them.

jets: god, i truly just do not care about them at all. i tried, but i simply couldn’t do it. there are certain players i like, though! and would be pleased if they won a cup! but i simply feel nothing. i appreciate their morals, though!

wild: another team i simply........never think about. they’re not super good and i have no reason to want them to win, but maybe that’s a good reason for them to win! my apathy! i do love a staal, tho

yotes: see rangers. i hate them and they suck.

hawks: see rangers and yotes. they shouldn’t even be in the playoffs i stg.

favorite:  i like the sense of family and community in desi households. i like the idea that i can go to your house once and then call your parents auntie and uncle and if our families have been to each others’ houses multiple times i can just call you my cousin. i like the vibrancy and diversity of our cultures. i love how song and dance is just kind of ingrained into the culture. (My dad who “hates films” used to not go a day without singing his old favorite songs from the 70s and 80s.)

least favorite:  (copied from the post i made awhile ago) the desi community in general needs to get past the whole “let’s not stir the pot” mentality where individuals care more about what the community folk/relatives say about them than fixing actual problems and this includes silencing people that rightfully call out their bigoted family members to “keep the peace” or show respect to your elders or whatever. like it just means we’re settling into racism, colorism, sexism, homophobia, a fundamental misunderstanding of mental illnesses, and a plethora of other issues because desi communities prize their reputation and their ties to traditionalism above all like. and ALSO for Desi Muslims specifically, we need to stop pretending it’s the sanctity of our religion we’re protecting when we’re being homophobic/transphobic/racist/sexist when it’s really that deeply protected conservatism that’s been socialized into us okay B YE
