it's so interesting talking to and around my father, because personality-wise we are extremely similar (so much so that sometimes I'll say things, then my mother will go quiet and respond...you know, you sounded just like your father) but I grew up as a woman, and he grew up as a man, and that does that make an appreciable difference.

I think a lot of people conflate superheroes as a whole to specifically Batman when it comes to the importance of a life. It makes sense, supers are meant to be put on pedestals and represent what we should all aspire to be. But it's weird when this gets applied to Spidey.

Just like everything else with Peter, he is a regular guy. Other superheros represent what we should aspire to be, but Spidey represents what we can be. He cares for every life. He hopes to give everybody a second chance. But if someone asks for it, Pete will beat their fucking skull in.

When his cop/detective friend Jean DeWolff was murdered, he hunted the man down and physically fought his way past Daredevil to kill the guy and ended up beating him within an inch of his life. When Kingpin got May shot, Peter broke into his prison, effortlessly beat him to a smear, and then promised that when May died, not if, he'd come back and finish the job- violently. There are just countless instances of him deciding "I'm actually going to kill him now totally" with Norman. Most notably of course is the glider incident, which Peter didn't actually go to with the intent to kill (weirdly enough despite Gobby killing his fiance). However, he took pleasure in beating him senseless and wasn't exactly broken up by the final thud.

Peter's a guy who meets every situation with the intent to help someone. He tries to find every opportunity to help another person, even someone who's trying to kill him, even if it's at his own detriment. He's not a perfect manifestation of morals and purity. He's just some guy. Some guy who cares a whole lot for people. And that makes it all the more special when he does help someone. When he talks a girl off a roof, or inspires a kid to be better than the system set him up for, or befriends his own rogues. It all feels so much more personal. This is just a person, one of us. Someone who fails more often than not, who makes bad jokes and gets angry and feels hate and love and pain all at once and most of all, someone who tries his best no matter what.

I find really funny how there's a small part on this already small niche of the fandom that came for the horny fics and are staying only for the horny fics 😂. Nothing against it of course, even if there's sometimes that I find myself bluescreening whenever opening ao3😅. Just, something interesting that I've noticed.

Every and any community will always have a horny side. It's inevitable. Rule 34 and all that.

They are attractive men, and they have good chemistry between each other. Is there something called "the boy band effect"? I'm gonna dub it that.

(more stuff under cut)

I've been on Tumblr longer than some people on this site have been alive. (Main blog was made in 2010.) Every fandom involving content creators (back then they were all just called Let's Players) has always had shipping, and then of that group there's always a subgroup for mature stuff. It's an interesting combination of celebrity culture and yaoi/BL culture.

"What's better than one pretty person? Two pretty people!"

It's a little obsessive, sure, but it's ultimately harmless so long as firm boundaries are set and followed. RPF is already a very delicate line to walk, and I'm not interested in being parasocial. To me, the personas they have online and in videos are separate from the real people they are in their day to day lives, and I'm only interested in those personas.

That's not me saying that everyone has to follow the same guidelines I set for myself, but everyone I've talked to here seems to understand that RPF should stay in its little corner. Like my pinned post says, I'm not interested in making the guys uncomfortable.

RPF is inevitable. RPF smut is inevitable. They're just dominoes in the same line that were waiting to be knocked down. I can't fault whoever knocked down the first domino because if it wasn't them, it would've been someone else.

All I ask is to keep the dominoes in the playroom.

[gumy-shark]

just realized my situation in college is so funny rn. heres why in a greentext format

>be gumy's parents >you are Good Christian Parents who want your daughter to Walk In The Ways Of The Lord >when she wanted to go to a secular college you were Very Worried that your Impressionable Daughter would get Radicalized By The Godless Atheist College People (this one is actually somewhat justified- i AM very impressionable and got radicalized in junior high in a way that was very very hard on my mental health and my relationships with my family) > be relieved when she chooses to go to a Good Christian College instead (it was my own free choice and i had my reasons). > surely, with her environmental science classes being taught from a God-Fearing Perspective, and with no Godless Atheist College People there, she won't get radicalized! > she gets radicalized anyways

just watched the new spidey animated show, unsure if I like it or not so far, the dialogue is a little clunky and the animation is... something... but also it's kinda fun and annoyingly I'm intrigued
