Read Between The Lines

Fandom: Marvel, Spider-Verse Movies

Summary: You were the first to visit Miguel after Miles got away. **Written and posted after ATSV and before BTSV.** Enjoy!

Warnings: Somebody says damn once, Miguel yells.

You only joined to keep an eye on him. He only let you join to keep an eye on you.

Miguel was easy to read. He had a god-complex. He thought he had the Spider-Verse figured out, and he would do anything to not mess with the model had going.

You were dangerous. You thought you had everything figured out, and you weren't afraid of anything. That terrified O'Hara.

Speaking of not being afraid of anything, you were the first to go see Miguel after Miles got away. Everyone else kept their distance from him, but not you.

"I bet half the Society thinks you're crazy right now."

Miguel didn't turn away from his screens as he said, "Like you would know. Have you actually talked to any of them? And don't name anyone inside your little group."

"My little group? They're who you kept closest. And maybe you should check on some of them..."

That caught his attention. "What is that supposed to mean?"

"What do you think? They've left you. And I'm joining them."

People have left him? Those backstabbing-- "Tell me where they are right now or I'll--" Miguel launched himself at you.

"You'll what?" You stopped him in his tracks. "Please, tell me what you'll do to me because right now it looks like not a damn thing."

Miguel's face twitched after looking you up and down. "So...? You won't tell me where they are, and clearly I'm not stopping you from going--"

"And you better not think that any tail or bug you put on me is going to work--"

"--Then why did you come here?"

You and Miguel stood there for a moment, glaring at each other.

"I..."

Miguel waited expectantly for you to finish.

"...don't...know...," you forced out.

He exhaled through his nose. "That would be a first. You. Not knowing something."

"You would be surprised."

"Get out." Miguel turned back to his screens. When he didn't hear you move, Miguel abruptly turned around to this-time yell, "GET OUT!"

He was met with an empty room. You had left him.

Why do I always do this

[jtmportland]

destination unknown

[andy-wm]

Andy, I dont think JM is queer, coz in WHO he is singing about a her, not a they.

She/her pronouns leave no scope for ambiguity.

Anon, that's like me saying 'Anonymous' must be your real name because that's who the ask came from.

Makes sense?

No.

No it does not.

If the pronouns were THEY, Jimin would be

a) slammed for being woke

and

b) not clearly telling you that he lives in a society that makes him think his love MUST be a she/her. And he can't find love, he can't find it anywhere.

If he had grown up thinking he could find love with (he/she/they... any pronouns) don't you think he would have found it by now? I mean, look at him, he's so beautiful and kind and smart. How could he not find someone?

Would he be singing songs about how he can't find love?

The way he specifically says HER tells you THAT'S WHERE THE PROBLEM LIES.

Please, Anon (not your real name, yeah?)

Please, for your future self, for you to navigate the information you encounter every day, don't just grab the first thing you see and run with it. Sure, consider your immediate reaction, but also consider what else might be happening.

Because theres always more than one way to look at a situation.

(Thats why we have a jury of 12 and courts of law, and we don't just let people claim revenge for perceived wrongs by vigilante justice. Because there's two sides to a story, and you need different perspecives to see all the angles.)

Critical thinking skills are important because often messages are hidden.

Sometimes it's because the author wants you to misunderstand at first, because their real meaning will have more impact when you discover it later.

Sometimes there are two different messages directed at two different types of audience (like kids movies with adult jokes hidden in them)

Sometimes it's because they actually cannot say what they really want to say because they aren't allowed to or because it'snot safe or because they simply don't want to be upfront.

In the case of this song, it's all three of those reasons.

Context clues tell us that this album is very queer themed. There are rainbows and smeraldo flowers everywhere.

Smeraldo flowers LITERALLY mean a hidden truth/ truth untold/ I couldn’t tell the truth.

The original posts about Smeraldo flowers are translated here:

You'll find this here: https://cafearmy.wordpress.com/category/flower-smeraldo-blog-post-translations/page/2

There are also clues in the WHO music video - the extended metaphor of the weather, and the rainbows and colour flares. These tell us THERE'S MORE GOING ON HERE.

Read the lyrics and also watch the mv and think about what you are hearing and seeing.

Follow the story and think about WHY everything is happening the way it happens.

The director didn't just randomly yell "ok dance! Now run a bit, now look at the camera, now sing!"

There's a plan. The plan is based on a story they're telling. The story has an ending that THEY ALREADY KNOW, but that we don't.

Until we've seen the whole thing and thought about it, and then gone back to see what we missed the first time around, we dont know.

Like Spring Day isn’t REALLY about the seasons, and Bapsae isnt about birds, and The Truth Untold isn't about growing flowers.

Go back and watch the MV with the audio muted and think about the story thr MV tells without the music.

Read the lyrics as though you are reading a poem.

Genuinely, i care about this (i am a school librarian Anon, i wouldn’t be one if i didn't care about how people interact with information) so listen and think about it.

Then come back and tell me if you still think he's not queer because the pronouns in this song are she.

Borahae 💜

ARCANE WRITERS EXPLORE VIS MENTAL HEALTH AND TRAUMA CHALLENGE

If you really think about it Vi has never had the time to process her truama properly( I mean she’s literally been in fight or flight mode since she was like 7) and I’d love to see them explore that more in depths with how it would change her as a person but also how it would impact her actions. Would she be less guarded, not be a prone to fighting

We’ve seen how she handles mental breakdowns ( with alcohol and fighting, which kinda mimics her childhood surroundings. With her dad owning a bar and her constantly fighting) she automatically diverts her attention to the one thing she is 1 good at plus has known since she was very young. It’s almost like her comfort of sorts ( once again very BAD comfort she is not mentally OKAY)

But when you think about her and what she’s been through, it’s too much for a young mind to handle ( as we saw with jinx)

First she’s thrown into a prison, beat, tortured and isolated for god knows how long. By the time she’d process what has happened more would be on the horizon ( as we know she got beat almost daily) plus it probably lead to some stint in her development either mentally or physically ( which is a whole other can of worms to process)

then when she FINALLY gets out she learns her sister is a war criminal, her uncle has drugged the under city, she gets stabbed and beat up repeatedly, almost dies, gets kidnapped, mentally tortured and then witnesses her sister commit and act of terrorism

The only time in the show she could of mentally processed what she’s been through is the weeks after the attack on the council ( since she was staying with Cait * it’s assumed) but I doubt she would have since she was probably too busy making sure Cait was okay plus thinking about how to stop jinx. Or when’s she was a pitfighter but as we saw, she just drunk her issues away and when she felt that anger towards people she went and fought individuals who had no connect to that feeling, just to have an ounce of control over her mental state.

I’m getting the sense too that she was only taught how to protect others and not herself. She’s kinda self destructive ( in the nature of getting into usless fight, putting her self in danger and being impulsive) she doesn’t know what to do when mentally crashing, she doesn’t really know how to read her emotions properly and that leads to her impulsiveness because she thinks she’s feeling a specific way and thus acts upon that feeling. Not taking the time to process her emotion and figure out her thoughts!

I just think Vi is the most interesting character in arcane when you REALLY sit down and study her character. So much underling lore exists to her when you dig deep into her actions specifically and I’m so sad the writers didn’t focus on that this season. They could make her one of the MOST complex characters but just stick with “anger issues and she likes to fight” but they never explore WHY she does those things. I know a lot of it is *show and not tell* and as I said if you actually use your brain you can figure this out and use just general knowledge. their putting to much trust in the viewer to read between the lines. When most just wanna be told what’s going on and how characters feel or think.

I just really like Vi guys….

[graceofgondor]

the voices are getting to me again because so many people don't understand that half the reason charlie is such a protector type is because no one ever did the same for him and quite frankly he's scared to let anyone despite the fact that he secretly YEARNS for that kind of a connection and despite the fact that at this point he only views himself as a means of safety for everyone else (often through his charismatic facade).

AND YOU GUYS.

it all. comes back. to ginny.

i have said this time and time again. but its because its TRUE. if you think the one person who truly saw this girl, who wanted to know her by his own volition, is someone she'll let go at his absolute WORST you are so badly mistaken. she is going to be that person who cares for him, that person who gives him the one thing he's always wanted but never felt he deserved. because he did first.

to me, ginny fits so effortlessly into his arc. its not random to me at all. the unfortunate part is we don't get to see all of it, which is where people get lost i think. but trust me, with every fiber of my being it makes sense, it's intentional, its right. even from a plain narrative point of view.

it seems that charlie is seen by everyone, when in reality, he isn't. and THATS why he saw her, THATS why her supposed opposite was so captivated by her. because no one had ever stopped to see her either.

Subtext

[iamneosoul]

I don’t like your subliminals just say what you mean

[lightboxstories]

i sometimes find myself reading through the messages that remain

I scream and try to save myself

your apologies stare me in the face unwavering

Despite that I could never accept that

“im sorry”

With you I let the blade sit

the stanzas of your poems litter my screen

It always comes back.

alphabets jumbling together

It twist, and the blood spills

dates left between your gaps

So much blood on everyone I’ve ever loved

that ugly fucking tattoo

The face of someone in some sick search

and i look at the remnants of our shared future together

The face of a coward

and the fractures of my vulnerability

A person trying to overcome their past

and the bits and pieces of who i used to be

By making ruining their love’s past to be

a shattered vase of a soul

Are they strong enough to know that they shouldn’t

i wish my screen was shattered

They look down, at the blood on their hand,

so i could physically be wounded by your words

The mix between that of themself and their lost love

as i scroll through the only proof we have ever

They see me, a piece of them in me

even known each other

We are not the person we started as

both our lives progress

But we are what make up who we are now

but the pieces that return

But we venture on, away from that abyss

live on inside us

Towards tomorrow

The IDF should be lauded for their efforts to avoid civilian casualties, but the global political class don't want to acknowledge it.

Good news, though, is that the silent majority do get it and are firmly behind Israel, removing the evil that is Hamas from this planet.
