bro im not kidding i only meant for this to be like three sentences but now it's a whole character analysis

hahahahaha i loved this little moment, it was honestly a *killer* callback and really showed that hobie was never really on the spider society's side.

honestly, i have always thought hobie on the side of the people more than the side of anything even remotely conjoined in nature. yeah, he'll play the society's game for a while, but as soon as he sees them pulling something that isn't right, he quits. he is on the side of his friends and the innocents hanging in the balance. i feel like hobie definitely needs to be older than gwen and pav and miles at least by a year because really he is the one that is experienced enough to realize what the system has done to these kids. he sees what's going on and i think he loves the chaos a little bit, but you have to consider when he takes that wristwatch off, he's completely blind in making his own. hobie must have literally studied it for hours on end.

i have a good feeling as soon as hobie saw miles he went 'oh yeah, this is the straw that breaks the establishments back.' he stole a bunch of stuff, and immediately made himself non threatening in a spider-punk esque way. giving advice, brotherly affection, etc. he realizes that morales is going to send these nitwits off so he just... casually waits, making sure he has all of the supplies he needs-- thanks to his punk persona making it easy for him to steal and then they think 'that's just hobie being a punk, may i add-- and just kind of sits there, quietly egging him on. "there ya go."

"hobie you're not helping."

"good"

he knows full heartedly what he's doing and he's not ashamed at all.

then this scene happens. looking around, everyone's yelling at miguel. miguel this, miguel that.

everyone's distracted.

walks up and reminds the kid of his power. he could have done it himself, but no, he needs to make sure that miles feels empowered and that miles knows what he needs to do.

he's the only one that braces himself and he just grins because hey, the kids got the spirit, now he's just gotta get home. he doesn't believe in all of this 'canon event' bs.

he doesn't believe in that, and he doesn't believe in lies.

morales: "how many missions have you been on?"

stacy: "oh. no that many." brown: "a couple dozen."

and he doesn't believe in heroes and villains. he only believes in the actions that people do and their intentions. i dont know if its just hc or if someone smarter than me can find sometihng but hobie i imagine is extremely socially intelligent. he knows what you're feeling, what's going on, and the base formation of your intentions. he knew that there was trouble when he walked into this mess, and he knew that it was going to go down in flames, but he saw that there were good people there that didn't know better in there that he was going to help.

he doesn't believe in consistency, but he is consistently one thing: he is consistently caring and helpful. that's what makes him great.

EDIT: IM SO STUPID- I DIDNT EVEN NOTICE HIM GOING "that's a great look" BRO IS FULLY DONE. IF HE DOESNT KICK SOME MIGUEL O'HARA IM GONNA LOSE IT.

AAAAAH I DIDN'T NOTICE AT FIRST BC I THOUGHT HOBIE WAS TELLING MILES TO STOP FIGHTING BUT HE WAS ACTUALLY REMINDING HIM TO USE HIS PALMS!!!!!!!
