#and that is her greatest tragedy

[alchemicon]

the biggest most unforgivable sin of massive corporations like lumon is always greed. and that is also helena's (in an interesting mix with envy and shame). she wants, wants, wants without essentially deserving anything of what she wants. she wants mark's love, even though her company is keeping his wife prisoner. she wants irving's friendship even though she's actively working against his interests and the interests of all the innies. she wants intimacy even though it is not hers to claim. she only knows how to take. she takes away mark and helly's most intimate moment, cause her greed for what her innie has and her envy for her and her shame are eating her alive. but she doesn't know how to not take. she has never been given unconditional love like helly has been, but she also has never lived a life where everything wasn't for her and lumon to take.

and how abhorrent is that?

Basically every single character has commented on Cristina being a robot or inhuman or emotionless and such .

So many of them think she doesn't. Love.

But it's so ridiculous because, love interest wise, she's the only one actually loving the other person.

The greatest thing any of her love interests did to her. The only thing that was made with genuine love for her.

Was Burke leaving her.

At the altar, in the dress.

All that shitting on ships aside i fuckn love Lynxfall it's genuinely a great ship

Snowfall CRYING at the prospect of Lynx going on some mission to another continent bc she's so afraid Lynx'll maybe die is so heartwarming to see specifically from her bc of her usual cold attitude

It's such a great way to show that Snowfall does truly treasure Lynx's companionship (platonic or romantic either work i just happen to love them as a couple)

I also absolutely love that Lynx blocks Tundra while Snowfall breaks the name wall idk why i just really like that scene

The first thing my boss said to me this morning was, "I have a surprise for you!"

And I was like, "Is it a dog? A horse?"

And she was like, "Yeah! It's a puppy!!"

So then we went and played with a bernese mountain dog puppy before work. He was the fluffiest and cutest lil bean!

at last, IT IS CASUALTY ANNIVERSARY DAY!!!!

happy birthday to them :) the silly little hospital guys who started it all

it makes me sad sometimes how people forget or don’t know about some of the first series characters who weren’t around for very long (someone heckles at me from the back of the room: “of course it does, you Sandra stan”) because they are all so important to me <3 so very much happy 38 years since all of them graced TV screens for the first time!

Reiko claims it doesn't matter that Souko left, that it doesn't make a difference if who she's with, and whether she's alone, which is obvously bullshit. But it becomes Reiko's creed. Experience the fun things in life, and then move on before you get attached to people. Everything is temporary, there's no use sticking around, but you might as well enjoy yourself for a short time while you can. That's essentially what the Book of Friends is, and it's how we see Reiko approach all her relationships in the future. Does she ever stop doing this? Does she never acknowledge how badly she wanted Souko to stay, how badly she wants someone to stay?

And hmmm...is there something about these flowers that's related to Souko? A certain reason why Reiko would have wanted to show them to her? (I don't know why I'm building suspense for this lol but anyway we'll address that later.)

Tidbits of ATSV That I Enjoyed (Or Alternatively: Just Miles Being The Most Endearing Spidey Ever)

Miles patting The Spot's head after successfully webbing him (I don't see this as condescending, but rather him still engaging with the humanity of a villain like Spot) and ~very assertively~ telling/asking him not to escape.

"I'm like Robin Hood-if he gave to himself."

Miles' spidey senses going off when he arrives late to his dad's party because there's nothing more frightening than Brown parents when they're mad at you. Beware the chancla or correa!

O.k. So we all know there are different versions of the movie out there. You may already know that one of the slight differences is when Miles goes to save Inspector Singh. There's a version where you can hear Gwen's voice in the distant background yelling no! when she thinks Miles gets crushed under the rubble, and there's another where she's silent as she webs to him. Now, I have found ANOTHER version (online) where her shouting is even more at the forefront. She's practically screaming and sounds more desperate, (prolly because it's close to the same way her Peter Parker died so she's reliving trauma) and the fear in her voice is palpable. That one haunts me.

Jefferson trying to equate studying for his police exams to childbirth, which Rio quickly nips in the bud.

Ganke having a soccer poster of Son Heung Min, a famous Korean footballer who currently plays for the Premier League Tottenham Hotspur and is captain of the South Korean national team.

Miles having a Sashimi (his universe's version of Supreme, but I just like the idea that Miles loves eating sashimi. Like I know that kid has good taste in food) poster in his bedroom.

The fact that Miles kept in touch with Aunt May for long enough after the events of ITSV that he helps her move.

The Spot saying he was one of the more handsome scientists at Alchemax according to his colleagues.

Miles and Gwen having the same collectible toys, the only difference being that he keeps his in the box and she doesn't.

"Hey, don't try to wow me with big words, man," *in deep manly voice* "I do crosswords every day"- Miles after Spot points out Alchemax as "the crucible of our connection!"

Miles going, "This job is so dumb sometimes" after he tries to web Spot at the deli, but it goes through a hole and lands on his face.

"Nahhh, he seems more Dominican to me." Kinda want Miles to meet a native Dominican Spidey because that dynamic would highkey fuck hard *pun not intended*. They would repair relations between our two islands-PR&DR.

"Almost there Mami *smiley face* *cowboy* prayer hands*"

The college admissions coach at Visions Academy straight up saying, "That's your story! Now, just stick to the script..." Ma'am what???

"Calmate Mami, eso no es my fault."

"I've hit a lot of different villains with a lot of different food...I'm just trying to lighten the mood."

Miles in his angsty teen era and smart-mouthing everyone around him. Love that for him.

"He almost killed his mom as a baby, I mean, look at those shoulders." No but for real tho. Those shoulders are as wide as a truck. Kim Seokjin who??? (if you understood that reference, ily).

Miles writing a love letter to his dad in 2 cakes.

Gwen at the water tower chowing and saying how feelings make her hungry after her and Miles talked about how they can't be together cause it would end in tragedy. Like Gwen, come again?!

Also, Miles' and Gwen's talk at the Williamsburg Bank Building being lowkey the catalyst for the 2nd/3rd acts of the film. Without them both kind of silently admitting their feelings for each other, Miles probably wouldn't have chased after her the way he did. Pretty sure you know the rest.

"I bet she doesn't even speak Spanish," and Jeff going "Que barbaridad" in his very broken Spanish. Queue Rio's bombastic side eye.

Both Gwen and Miles referring to Spot as a Villain Of The Week, even though neither of them have spoken about Spot to each other.

"I was bitten by a-wouldnt you like to know? Know what I mean?" SIR. Chill. This movie is for children.

The Spot inverting himself, going from a white mass with black spots to a gaping black hole with smaller white spirals. It's giving Junji Ito.

The irony of Pavitr exclaiming, "Well that was another easy adventure for Spider-Man!" right before an incoming canon event. HIS. He was about to experience his first big loss, and his happy-go-lucky nature would've been challenged.

Miguel saying conyo! when all the Spideys start pointing at each other.

"!Cállate!" "Nosy!" Sidebar: we don't talk about Gwen's banter with bad guys enough. She's so funny!

A lot of the Peters saying hi to Gwen as she passes HQ because she is canonically the one lost love--the love interest they all would've ended up with had she not died, so they all have an affection for her.

Web-Slinger going "Giddy up!" Cause he's swinging up.

Miles offering his fresh new takes on how to deal with the Spot upon meeting Miguel, saying "He just wants to be taken seriously. Like we all do." MILES YOU BEAUTIFUL, COMPASSIONATE GOLDEN SUNFLOWER BOY I LOVE YOUUUUU.

Hobie referring to Peter B. as Humbling Reality Spider-Man, which considering how steeped in tragedy the Spidey lore is, is really saying something.

Miguel's nonono no puedo más no puedo más. His misery is very funny and delightful to me. Little bitch ass.

"You know you're the only Spider-Man who isn't funny." Yes! More Miguel slander in the next one, please! Little bitch ass.

"Snitch!"

Miles shouting out Peter's name for help whilst Miguel pins and lays into him the fact that he's an anomaly. This after he momentarily glitches back to his ITSV store-bought suit. Mimicking the way-in also the first movie-Miles shouting out Peter's name for his own rescue as Doc Ock attacks him at the research facility. Because even though he feels hurt by Peter at this point, that's still his dad mentor and he still instinctively looks to him for protection. Rip my heart out why don't you!

Gwen sneaking back into her and her dad's place just to get that printed polaroid of her and Miles, a pic she already has on her phone.

Earth-42 Miles wearing Nike while our Miles wears Jordans.

I just hope gay marriage gets legalized in Japan before enstars ends so that Akira can still write the Wataei wedding. My only condition is that they don't get separated. I just really don't want them to get separated

[autismking]

hot take but i think it’s BECAUSE of that little nod from erik as she’s walking away, that nod that answers the question she can’t say aloud - will you be okay if i leave? even though he KNOWS he won’t be, he tells her he will be with that nod - it’s BECAUSE of that nod that christine begins to sing all i ask of you to him. she chooses him in that moment because she knows that he loved her enough to let her go. and that is what she needed from him this whole time. love me enough to sacrifice your pride and your rage and your vengeance and let me have free will - and with that free will i would choose you.

        𝒂𝒎𝒆𝒕𝒉𝒚𝒔𝒕 : the amethyst is said to be a symbol of peace and freedom. a leader who sits on a throne of amethyst is a calming presence to their subjects, and values the wellbeing of their people over glory, wealth or fame. however, do not underestimate the power of a ruler of amethyst - their intelligence is often unrivalled. this does not correlate to academic achievement, but to their unique views of the world and their ability to think deeply and profoundly.
