#and in other I like him with felicia

You know guys? Is funny to love the spider-verse movies so much, and fall in love with this ship so hard it consumes your thoughts, and you want Miles and Gwen so badly to get together in the movies-

And then you read the Spider-Gwen comics and now you are praying with all your might that Gwen and Miles DON'T get together in those.

Obsessed with the idea that Peter likes to pick up his partners. Like this man can lift whole cars and punch a bad guy through solid brick walls. He would totally pick up his partners and just manhandle/carry them around because they weigh literally nothing to him and he likes being close to them.

I hope The Spot gets to die as a himself like pre-powers. It’s likely he’s gonna destroy himself trying to destroy Spider-man (I think he’s gonna for the mythos of the hero not just Miles, if the flash forward is any prediction) cause he’s either not gonna be able to handle the full effects of his abilities it and needs to be saved but it’s too late for him or does some not fully redeeming sacrifice as he realizes he didn’t have to resort to villainy and doesn’t want to go out with people fearing him rather than respecting.

It’d make the point that anyone can be Spider-man under the mask string as it’d point out that depending on circumstances anyone could become anything. In this case none of them would know The Spot personally or even in passing as Johnathan Ohnn, so seeing a complete stranger, someone who could of been anyone, defeated at the end of the battle would invoke a lot with the random chance and fate that comes along with being Spider-man if not just going through life rather than the adherence to canon events that is trying to be pushed on characters.

I feel like giving the Spot his face back would just make the climax feel more complete, an odd commentary on being true to oneself even if it is past your time.

You know what's crazy for a character that's so supportive,

I be reading hobie x reader fanfictions and some of these pieces y'all are hitting publish on be having willlddd levels of misogyny

And I'm not saying you're writing Hobie as a misogynist. I mean the misogyny is coming from inside the house. Like the narrator is the one it's coming from and it be having me like

what do you consider the heart of californication? like really carries through the series & makes it compelling

thank you for this question, i really love it. to me, it's a number of things, starting with that the show cares deeply about hank and takes him seriously in a way that the culture doesn't. in a way, yes, he's their dog and pony show with the funny one-liners and the salacious pull. but the arc of the series is unequivocally aligned with him and his desires and his needs and his values.

hank wants to be with his family, wants to be better for them, wants to not let them down- and the show needs him to fail at all of those things. for the dog and pony of it all, for their viewership and for their thesis and for the food in their mouths, but it simultaneously feels bad that he is failing. simultaneously knows that this isn't what he wants, and that it's sad. and it can be as simple as a dream sequence or a look or a quiet final scene, but every single episode is ultimately going to remind you that everything you're laughing at is a loss.

which, like i said at the top, speaks to a level of respect that the show had for the character that is just gone in discussions of the series. they take the time to recognize that he is missing something. he is losing something and he is without everything that means anything to him, this is the cost. equally important, duchovny respects that character and understands the same.

i was listening to an interview last night (trish you heard this) where he was speaking with some podcast dudebros and one of the hosts said that he always wanted to be just like hank moody, and then he made some "bad decisions" and got there, and he doesn't like it. and duchovny said that every time people come up to him saying "i'm just like hank moody," he says "i'm sorry."

men watch and they want to be just like hank moody and women watch and they want to fuck hank moody so bad, and all of you miss what the source comprehends: that it's an irreparable deficit.

other than that, i feel like what roots that show is that it really isn't all that cynical. not in the way that it could be. and the show believes in hank.

there is a lot of kindness and hope (often false hope) that runs underneath most every relationship and interaction and dynamic in the series and i really really appreciate that about it. it's like in the pilot when hank is being mean and he wants marcy to yell at him and she just says "go home, honey. sleep it off. tomorrow's another day."

there's always a little bit of understanding and grace amongst the crazies and i think there's something really special about that

I just... think........ they’re really cute. What a cute couple. I sure do love them.

[tera-starstorm]

There's something about silly cafe AUs that soothes my soul so much

[cherrysnax]

need to preface this by saying I looooove Felicia sm but god it’s so frustrating that when she pops up she gets to keep her personality, her depth, her everything, even in like her very few appearances but MJ has to get EVERYTHING WIPED AWAY even in the comics??? but literally the only close to faithful adaptions of her are spectacular, some of the 90s show and PART of the raimi movies and it’s only slivers!!!! And usually if mjs around Gwen doesn’t exist so we never the catalyst to her and peters bond, their shared grief that Peter can’t understand at first <\3

[harumscarumcos]

not to fall back into my old fixations, but Peter and MJ really were kinky back in the day

[stackthedeck]

fucking your divorce lawyer is kinda the lowest you can sink and you know what if Marvel wants to make Peter Parker fucking miserable

[labwebs]

🕸..............should have once again not clicked on a spidey trend on twitter. can we stop pitting versions of characters against each other lol

[usaigi]

Ok so current year in the MCU (as of She-Hulk) is 2025, meaning Peter Parker is 19 (born in 2001 minus 5 years from the blip).

How much would y'all judge me if I aged Peter to 20 years, introduced Felicia as 26-28, and Matt as 33, and have Felicia flirt/date with both of them?

Why? Because it's silly and makes me laugh.

[idledreams4]

Just watched this, and I suggest anyone who's looking for a good laugh does too lol

[pegasusknightsonly]

one angle of leolicia that i think about far too much is Leo admitting that his own plans for marriage were to wait until there was a girl Xander couldn't keep refusing to whom he would offer Leo as a consolation prize with some diplomatic end and when Felicia hears this she's like "oh no... I'm so sorry... I've ruined your chance for a loveless political match that primarily benefits your older brother at the expense of your happiness..." and she means it. she is 100% sincere. but Leo tells her it's fine because "[she's] the princess of the ice tribe so this wasn't a complete waste" and that reassures her! so they continue to live in perfect bliss and harmony and are mated for life like swans until they die of old age within a week of each other and everyone else gets divorced within a decade
