#Ansi Taratella

[spidey-bie]

I'm starting a tag game (to procrastinate.)

What's your spidersonas favorite fall (or fall equivalent) activity? If they don't have either what do you think would be their favorite fall activity?

Ansi's is bonfires (obviously), corn mazes, and apple picking.

Tagging: @onmyownside1 @ponfarrtimeatthevulcannightclub @autisticarach @thewolfsoul @the-cat-and-the-birdie @i-put-the-wit-in-dimwit @chessbox @flo-milli-shit-hoe @bugboi-connor @brown-spider @aaronymous999 @hittingpunklevelsofaudacity + whoever wants to join.

Hobie's is genetic

So are Ansi's.

Ansi's webs are tawny and stringy like rope. They're also not very elastic so they're not great for long distance travel. (Their webs are also often confused as ropes if they leave them out unsupervised.) She can produce webbing from any part of her hands starting from the wrist upwards to the tips of her fingers as well as from her feet.

Hobie gives her his battle jacket if she's understimulated but she doesn't really like the texture of jean/leather or things on her arms in general. (Most of her shirts are oversized tees or sleeveless.)

For people with Hobie x OC ships:

Does your Hobie have bionic or genetic webs? I'm curious.

Also same for your oc? Bionic or genetic?

Also also does he let them wear his vest?

Thank you.

[spidey-bie]

When Hobie was a kid he cried a lot. I know this because Ansi told me.

[spidey-bie]

Hobie has a spare inhaler for Ansi because he once made her laugh so hard that she started wheezing. But she couldn't find her inhaler so she had to be taken to the medical center at HQ for a breathing treatment.

[spidey-bie]

Look at me. Everybody look at me right now. They don't kiss they don't have sex they don't do anything inherently sexual or romantic in any way.

Y'know what they do to show affection?

They sing together.

Even with Hobie's terrible voice (he's so off key) there is no one in the world that Ansi would rather duet with than Hobie.

No matter where they are whether it's Ansi's apartment, Hobie's boat, or Aunt May's house, if the radio's playing and a song they both know comes on they're both about to be belting out the lyrics.

Ansi sings Hobie love ballads as gifts because he knows how much Hobie loves his singing voice. (And she honestly just loves to sing so much.)

Hobie snagged parts to put together a karaoke set up on his boat with a personalized mic for Ansi. (It's orange and it has her spider symbol on it.)

Singing is the one thing in Ansi's life that hasn't been exploited. It's not something that he wants to share with the world. But singing with Hobie puts him at ease. She gets to do something that she loves with someone who means everything to her. And nobody can take that away from her.

[spidey-bie]

Y'know what actually. First she just started off as a general Hobie fan. Like raving fangirl. Then I went for a more chill friendship vibe. But something still wasn't right. There was something poking at me at the back of my mind.

Now they're childhood friends who got separated only to be reunited 10 years later. And the moment they realized that they couldn't live without the other they made a vow to never be separated from one another ever again.

(Never to be separated unwillingly. They don't live together.....yet.)

Also they're in a QPR and they love each other (alterously) so much that it's sickening.

FUCK I WANTED TO WRITE MOXIE AND COMIC!HOBIE AS A HEALTHY FRIENDSHIP BUT I FUCKED AROUND AND MADE IT QUEER AS FUCK. Anyways, I guess they're a queerplatonic (in the sense of a socially non-confirming relationship) Wooo, death to the patriarchy

Genuinely how I started with Ansi. Like oh they'd be great friends.....now look at what I've done 😭

[spidey-bie]

Me giving Ansi a motorcycle because he needs a way to get around and also likes the perk of being able to ride around town with Hobie clinging to him. She makes sure he holds on extra tight.

For safety reasons obviously 🤭.

[spidey-bie]

I don't think enough people know how easy it is for Ansi to just drop people if she has even a hint of distrust towards them.

To him it's like you wouldn't stay on a ship as it sinks. He just saw the iceberg from a mile away and jumped ship the first chance he got.

It's one of the reasons why Hobie is so scared of her leaving him. It's a habit she's had since they were young. If you don't serve any purpose or if you're not someone she trusts you're gone.

People call him heartless, cold, and uncaring but this is what he does to survive.

You can't get abandoned by anyone if you abandon them first.

[spidey-bie]

I need to stop listening to music or something because this is getting ridiculous. I'm seeing Ansi in everything.

Oh also:

New Face Claim Drop

It's three 😅

All black. All queer.

First we got

Yasmin Benoit

A black Aroace activist, model, and writer.

Y'all, look into her she's so cool.

I can picture Ansi wearing all of these outfits strictly because of how much she hates clothes. Also he'd look gorgeous.

Next we have

Janelle Monáe

If anyone goes through my gallery it's now mostly photos of them

Just look at them. I can't believe I never added them before. Nonbinary icon. Award winning American singer, songwriter, rapper and actress. JUST LOOK AT THEM.

Last but not least we have

Willow Smith

Bisexual and polyamorous award winning singer and actress

Every time I listen to Wait A Minute I think of Techpunk.

YES ALL 3 OF THESE FACE CLAIMS ARE BLACK AND QUEER. Did I not mention that before?

[spidey-bie]

God I wanna go into their lore and so badly. It's too late and my brain is loopy so I'm gonna make another post later.

[spidey-bie]

Please stop trying to solve all of your problems by lighting things on fire. Sir. SIR PUT THE MATCHES DOWN. NO YOU CANNOT LIGHT MIGUEL ON FIRE NO MATTER HOW BADLY HE DESERVES IT.

(A daily conversation I have with Ansi.)

[spidey-bie]

Another thing about Comic!Hobie, he's only ever been outside of his universe when he's fighting something and then immediately leaves. This bitch would have no idea at all what a cellphone is, and I'm just realizing the fucking complications of that in a modern world. How the fuck do people in the 70s meet? "Damn, bruh, that's shit, wanna go to the park at the light of the waning sun and smoke a jiffy?" or some shit. I had a scene where they meet for the first time via Moxie running full fucking force behind him to give him their number so that they can talk schedules and details for painting time, and then realized Hobie would fully bluescreen at getting seemingly some random cryptic ass code from this really cool person and prolly not knowing how to respond. Do you look stupid infront of cool person? (Because gwen stacy is his idol because of how she lived) Do you go deadpan and just straight say "I ain't got that"? The culture differences are actually harder then I realized for people in different time periods, with different regions, with different historical events.

Oh my fucking god, someone having to fucking teach him and I know in my goddamn heart he's gonna hear about surveillance and immediately go "The media is already tryina kill my ass, nuh-uh, you take this bullshit back. I want none of it" I'm realizing how big letters are as a form of communication without shit like social media or texting. It's never really sunk in this much. Hobie brown angrily writing a fucking letter to someone is now living in my head rent free.

I love how I forgot all about letters and immediately went to beepers. Ansi and Hobie have two-way pagers that Ansi hacked to work across dimensions in case of emergencies (or frankly for whenever he's bored and wants Hobie to come by)

Nobody writes about technologically challenged Hobie (because of him making watches in the movie or whatever 🙄) but I'm holding onto the headcanon that the Riri Williams of his universe made the watches and he was just stealing parts.

Honestly him being able to put together multiple multi dimensional watches but not knowing how to make a phone call sounds hilarious.

Hobie I'm with the boomers on this new tech business Brown now lives rent free in my head.

The Beginning

–A Departure

Playlist Post

Disclaimer: I'm constantly changing the songs in this playlist. However the general lore will stay the same.

Summary: These two songs represent Ansi's childhood that she spent together with Hobie.

My Reasoning: I chose Moon River because the song has a nostalgic feel to it. The lyricist for Moon River states that the lyrics "are reminiscent of his childhood." This song also sounds like two kids playing make-believe, similar to how Ansi and Hobie used to play as kids.

I chose We'll Meet Again because it felt like the perfect goodbye. Neither Hobie nor Ansi knew if they'd ever see one another again but they liked to believe that one day they would.

Lore: It was September 21. Ansi was only eight years old at the time. Her father (Benjamin Taratella the assistant director of Alchemax) was tinkering away at his home workshop when he accidentally opened up a portal to Earth-138B. Just as he was able to close it, a small boy came hurtling through.

Stranded in a completely new and unfamiliar place, seven year old Hobie Brown immediately started to cry. Poor Benjamin didn't know what to do since his daughter rarely ever cried.

Ansi was enjoying her mid morning snack when she heard the cries coming from her father's workshop. So with cookies in hand she made her way to the basement, annoyed at whatever disrupted her snack time, to see what the noise was.

To her surprise she was met by a teary eyed young boy and her father frantically attempting to calm him down.

Upon realizing that the sounds were coming from the boy she immediately opened her mouth to let him have. However, she decided against it after remembering how her mother popped her the last time she told someone to shut up.

One thing she did notice about the boy, aside from the irritating sounds he kept making, was the way his eyes, while teary, never looked away from her box of Fudgetown cookies. So she offered him a cookie saying that in exchange he wasn't allowed to cry anymore for the rest of the day. (She was a very blunt and straightforward child. T'was the autism)

Hobie was so shocked by Ansi's rude offer that he immediately stopped crying. He was irritated now. He argued that he couldn't control how he felt and so the deal was unfair. Ansi, however, had completely ignored his words. She was much more interested with his weird voice and his strange paper-like aesthetic. So of course she spoke her thoughts aloud.

This led to a back and forth fight of Ansi calling Hobie weird and Hobie saying that he wasn't which grew into a physical fight. (Thankfully Ansi's mother had come home at that point and broke the fight up. She wasn't happy with finding a random boy in her house. Much less one who was fighting her daughter right in front of her husband. Benjamin knew Ansi could hold her own so that's why he didn't do anything.)

Somehow despite this terrible first meeting they soon became completely inseparable over the two years that they were together. (Unfortunately for Ansi's parents this meant there were now two trouble makers in their house.)

Sadly, the day came when Hobie finally had to go home. It was a very tearful goodbye for the both of them (more so on Hobie’s part than Ansi's.)

Unfortunately, before Ansi was able to fully process this her entire life was turned upside down. This was the start of the worst years of her life.

To Be Continued

[spidey-bie]

I'd love to say that this was done but I'd be lying. There's like 3 different genres and it's not in the order that I usually do a traditional playlist.(Basically it's not gonna be aesthetically pleasing to the ears. At least it wasn't for me.) It's in the order of Ansi's character arc and lore. There are multiple drastic tonal shifts throughout this too. I'll be back later to go in detail on how each section of songs relates to the different points in her life but here's this for now.

[spidey-bie]

I thought of a Reincarnation AU for Ansi and Hobie.

In their first timeline they were practically inseparable. However, their love went against fate. So the universe tried to reset itself by doing everything in its power to tear them apart. In the end their love for one another only grew.

Because of their rebellion against destiny the universe punished them. They were forced into an eternal cycle of death and rebirth.

With every new life they will always meet one another. However, one of them will always die shortly after. Despite knowing this they still look for the other in every timeline.

Destined to meet.

Doomed to die.

[spidey-bie]

I'm splitting this up into sections because there's a lot to go into here. Also y'all know about Ansi enough so I'm getting straight into the relationship. Not proof read if there's errors then no there isn't. Thank you to @the-cat-and-the-birdie for the questions.

Hobie & Ansi

–Part 1

Describe their relationship in 10 words or less.

Idiots who care for one another more than they think.

Describe their dynamic

There are layers to this. At first glance they give off power couple. When they're on site but not in a mission they're chaotic gremlins. But, when they're by themselves they're just two people who are so tired of living. Yet they're both gonna fight. It's gonna suck but they're both gonna keep going until things get better.

Quick! Someone asks 'What are you two? Are you dating?' - What do they say?

"Mind your business."

They will never explain a thing to anybody who they aren't close with if asked.

What's they're favorite way to spend time together?

Reading. They both love to just sit and read together. They'll read aloud to each other.

Hobie adores Ansi's reading voice. The way he changes his pitch for each character.

Her cheerful tone that she can somehow keep throughout the entire story. The way you can tell when a character is about to do something embarrassing because his nose just flared.

Ansi reads mostly sci-fi and fantasy because to him reading is an escapism.

Ansi enjoys Hobie's reading for many reasons (aside from the fact that his voice is so easy in the ears).

His deep and calming voice. The way he tries to hide or exaggerate his accent as he reads. The way he'll pause and take a long drawn out breath when he gets mad before he continues.

His smooth and steady pace is really relaxing. Ansi is fighting fight sleep every time. Hobie reads mostly memoirs or auto/biographies of important black political figures. For him reading is a means to gain knowledge and understanding about the world.

Are they romantic, platonic, sexual? A secret fourth thing?

Trying to narrow it down under any one thing is honestly offensive. They're just so loyally devoted to one another that the lines blur. Ansi will never trust anyone as much as he trusts Hobie and vice versa.

How long have they known each other?

2 years. (Hahaha so apparently they've known each other for 5 non-consecutive years.)

What song embodies their vibe?

It took so long to find a song that didn't use the word love in it. That was genuinely my only rule.

I Will by Mitski

I wanted a song that expressed the devotion that they hold for one another as well as their ability to be vulnerable with each other. To me this song is like them shouting "JUST LET ME TAKE CARE OF YOU," back and forth.

Two Slow Dancers by Mitski

The main theme of this song is nostalgia. And I've found that the two of them share more history than what I previously thought. They both wish they could turn back time. It'd be nice to go back to when life was simpler but they both know that they have to keep moving forward.

(I Wanna Be Yours by Arctic Monkeys was in the running too. )

Any nicknames for each other?

Hobie calls Ansi his/a Trickster and Ann

(like Anansi the trickster spider)

Ansi has tons of nicknames for Hobie.

So far she's got: Busy Bee, Bean, Paper Boy, Bie, Hobbs, and Princess if he's getting on his nerves.

What does a sleepover look like for them?

On a good night it's the two of them infodumping back and forth to one another. Or Hobie bouncing lyrics ideas off for Ansi to sing. Boring bland stuff because it's nighttime and Ansi has a sleep schedule that he likes to stick to.

On a bad night they're both lying in Ansi's full size bed drunk or high, spilling their hearts out to one another until either the sun rises or they both pass out. Sometimes they're just lying on the couch, Hobie in Ansi's arms silently sobbing.

What moment do they feel safest with each other?

Idk if this question is referring to a specific time in the day or a moment in their shared history so I'll say something for the first one.

Crime never sleeps and I don't think the two of them do either. I'd like to say nighttime but we all know nobody is getting any peace and quiet in the streets of Seattle or London at nighttime. So probably around dusk. Right before nightfall. Or at dawn when the sun is just starting to rise.

For some of these answers I just blacked out and it felt like they were speaking through me like dang. Y'all good????
