He'll never let you live this down.

[eternalslover]

YOU WRITE FOR HIM SO PERFECTLY OMG

Ben Reilly hcs…..

*Im surprised nobody hasn’t wrote for him😢well only one person, but that’s not enough*

PS this my first so this is prob not gonna be good

Ben Reilly x reader

He would prob be clingy guys….

I see him showing off his muscles to you to impress you.

Proving that he’s strong and that he can protect you.

He loves to check himself out.

Would want you to admire his biceps just as he does.

“Touch it, give it a squeeze”

“I know you want to”

He doesn’t mind if rest your head on them.

He prob want you to comfort him bc of his past.

Cries a lot bc of his past…

He loves hugging and cuddling you.

If you guys shared a house or apartment then he would prob have an workout area, mostly for his arms.

I imagine him checking up on you once in a while to see if your okay and if you miss him, Bc he misses you.

He likes spending time with you.

He likes doing the Spider-Man kiss a lot.

Loyal to you.

He just wants to be loved.

Prob less sad around you.

Always wants to be next you.

Y’all are always together

Likes to rest his head on your chests.

Likes receiving kisses from you.

If you were a Spider-Man/ spider-woman then you guys would do poses together, they have to be perfect.

He prob fell in love with you first.

I imagine the way he would ask you out by going up to you and saying he has feelings for you.*it took him a while to do it*

If you said yes he would prob flex that he has a date with you.

If y’all ever got in a fight he would prob be the first to beg for forgiveness…

He would be sad without you after the fight.

I don’t think he minds PDA tbh.

Would let you brush his hair.

Likes head massages.

Would miss you on his missions..

He likes to narrate so…

“I miss y/n”:( *while looking down*

“I wish y/n was here”

“Ugh can’t wait to go home”

“This is sooo boring”

He would definitely narrate while being with you.

“Protecting y/n right now *looking around*

*admiring y/n when they’re not looking”

“With y/n right now, nothing suspicious so far….”

“On a date right now so far so good”

Prob kiss him to shut him up

If he’s really in love with you, he’s head over heels..

I think he’ll call you babe, love or my love. Some of the basics

Hope y’all enjoyed!!

@xenjoyedthat asked for some MUSIC ft. Ghost (Star-Lord)

"Likе a ghost living in my head. The things you did, all the things you said."

It was one of those days. One of those days when Peter felt... Melancholic, nostalgic, BLUE even. Hence, why he decided to throw on Ben's old threads, and eventually his mind got to thinking back. Back to Ben, back to Gwen, back to Uncle Ben. Well, it was a bit too much, and he just happened to have his earbuds on under the mask, his playlist was on shuffle, it just so happened to land on that particular song, and he couldn't help but mutter along. He didn't expect anyone, much less LYLA, to hear him. So when he finally heard her voice, he jumped a bit, despite being hanging upside down.

"Please tell me you didn't hear that."

cool details i noticed + things i loved in across the spiderverse

spoilers ahead!

i think the stylization of the different spiders was even more distinct in this movie than the last one! i like that when the camera is focused on certain characters, you get their aesthetic “bleed” into the world (e.g. gwen’s painterly strokes in her silhouette bleeding outwards, miles and his family having chromatic aberrations in theirs, manny’s chunkier outline, etc.)

i LOVE that the spot is miles’ nemesis for a couple different reasons. he aesthetically opposes how colorful miles’ world is, he is a “villain of the week” that peter parker originally faces off against rather than miles, the major inversion he gets (becoming black with white spots) kind of feeds into the underlying theme of asking who the good guys are--especially when we learn that miles would have been prowler in earth-42! obviously also the fact that he and miles are both anomalies is great. i also think it’s good meta humor to have made the bagel guy become the spot.

there’s also a bagel billboard above the spot’s apartment. in some ways very fortuitous that everything everywhere all at once related bagels to the multiverse.

the stylization of three side characters really stuck out to me--pavitr, ben reilly, and of course, hobie! i love pavitr and mumbattan, i think it was a good choice for the trailer and stylistically a really strong and complementary style to bridge miles’ transition into this aspect of the spiderverse. ben reilly’s stylization i love because it evokes the mobile spiderverse game that introduced a lot of people to some of the more obscure spiders. and DUH i love hobie’s style, you can really tell that they incorporated tons of actual britpunk influences in there. also let me not forget margo kess! she’s so cute in this i genuinely like that she’s a VR spider. i hope to god they make jokes about her being on the web. please.

on that note i do like that the prop design also retains obvious notes of which things belong to which spiders! hobie’s is obvious, but you also see it with gwen’s items. also i like that each spider has a different way of swinging through the air that’s more obvious in this one! gwen and pavitr both have an dancerlike quality to them, hobie’s is a little more erratic (anarchist), and miles of course is still figuring out how to nail some of those more tight swings, but he’s way cooler with being in freefall than any of the other spiders. also miguel using his claws instead of swinging and jess using her motorcycle were very cool! lots of aerial play in this one that i’m excited to watch again and follow the eyetrace for.

good moments with miles and his family! i almost always hate the moody teenager plot because it’s like. you don’t see why they even Should care about their family or the family is so overbearing you start just siding with the teenager, but this movie struck a really good balance there for me. also i just really really like that there are scenes where miles and his mom just speak spanish with each other :’) the rooftop party was so real to me. i am not Latine or live in ny, but i am Filipino and i have been at one million parties like that with my family. and those pink cake boxes from a small bakery that your parents like is iconic.

i genuinely enjoyed the commentary on faking the struggle to get into school LMFAO i think that’s very real for a subset of poc, but especially more affluent Black and Latine people.

OH YEAH miles cracks a joke about ATM machines and then pavitr (my king) cracks the same kind of joke about chai tea and naan bread. a bit of an old joke but hey the movie has been in production for 2.5 years and i do think it serves to highlight the way that spidermen crack the same joke. especially when after in the spiderverse HQ a ton of other spidermen crack the same kinds of jokes about spotting The Spot. across the spiderverse, spidermen are the same

pointing spiderman meme is terribly funny i will stand by that forever

more funny meta commentary about donald glover being people’s pick for miles’ voice and not becoming spiderman, so he’s the prowler--in the same way that miles, had he not become spiderman, would have been the prowler. more obvious is his appearance in mcu spiderman, but i still think it’s fun foreshadowing!

on foreshadowing, i think this movie does a great job of laying out a lot of those bits of information. starting off with highlighting earth-42 and making sure you know that sticks in your mind (and it’s also impossible to choose the number 42 and not evoke the cultural memory of hitchhiker’s guide lol), having the spot talk about how the spider came from a different earth, getting another glimpse at it, seeing miles’ earth number right in the splash screen, saying that the big spider device sends you back to your universe via DNA analysis + margo seeing the big EARTH-42 instead of earth-1610 on the screen. and then even in earth-42, the color palette is really different from 1610! 1610′s opposing color for miles is like a deep blue color (opposing his red suit accent), so 42 having a primarily green palette opposes the prowler’s purple accent!

not to mention that when miles pulls into his bedroom, you can see that he doesn’t have a drawing desk up (or his sashimi/supreme poster). i think it’s a sad little detail that the movie seems to imply that his mom didn’t notice a major change in his appearance (having a short afro instead of braids) is because she works so much she doesn’t see him that often :(

fun sound design in this movie! in the scene where miles-42 gets revealed as the prowler, you actually hear that growling sound effect first when miles-1610 gets tackled and then again twice: once we see miles-42 in shadow as the prowler, then when he says his name!

in fact there’s actually tons of fun sound design details! miguel gets a futuristic sting, gwen has like a full on leitmotif, miles has a short leitmotif which i believe is part of “what’s up danger” (i would need to go back and watch the movie a second time to really pick up on it), pavitr and hobie have their own musical instruments associated with them... and even the spider from earth-42 has its own sting! i might have misheard, but i actually also think hobie and pavitr’s “thwip” sounds are a little different than the standard ones!

i love when those little notes show up in the lower corner. very comic book! a lot of those details make me smile, i really feel like they cared a lot about evoking some of the writing styles of different spiderverse writers there

aesthetically and tangentially related, i like the sketchiness of some of the characters! it’s most obvious in the spot and the alternate universe vulture, but it’s such a neat visual trick. it also serves to give the spot an almost “unfinished” look while also giving him better volume. very excited to see the behind the scenes from the riggers/animators/3d artists

the idea of canon events is such a good one for spiderverse--i think it’s great! one of them that i’m almost certain they’ll bring up in the next one is that. um. gwen usually dies when spiderman is trying to save her. straight up i actually thought they were going to pull that one instead of officer singh dying after gayatri is falling! after all spider-gwen almost got shot, plus miles straight up almost drops her after he glitches out in mumbattan. sony please don’t break spider-gwen’s neck...

genuinely loved all the calls to different spidermen too! there’s like one really prominent shot of paperbag spiderman that made me and my sibling giggle. here’s how the fantastic four can still win

in that vein, i have at least Some prediction of what the spiderverse resolution will be? i can imagine that because miles is an anomaly, his canon event breaking might actually be permissible to some degree... perhaps only if he returns to his own earth? truly truly i cannot IMAGINE that they would make us watch his dad straight up die onscreen because like MAN we already watched his uncle die. that would be way too devastating... but obviously miles-42 and miles-1610 have a lot to say to each other about watching an older man in your life that you love die. i’m a little back and forth about the idea that miles was “destined” in some way to become the prowler in an alternate universe but i’m gonna put my faith in the team to not make it weird ykwim. seeing as they already slipped in commentary about the fact that like Yeah it’s partially because miles’ family has money in 1610 that he is even able to “stay out of trouble” i think there will be an interesting conversation to be had about class dynamics between miles-42 and miles-1610! i am like wildly excited for the next one, i have a lot of hope that it will be even more gorgeous than this movie was and will have the same depth of writing/foreshadowing!

lastly and i know i’m just saying this because to ME spiderman is a very trans character. but peter parker from spider-gwen’s universe was just taking his testosterone okay. and spider-gwen having that painterly pink blue and white as she was saying essentially “i want to live my life fully in my identity” was so... happy pride!!!

I LOVE THIS SO MUCH

BEN REILLY MY BOY. Just him being himself narrating and being emo and reader is just like “Idk i think his quirks are kinda cute” and Ben hearing that almost running into a wall.

Weird, but in a cute way

“Oh, it hurts. Love is so painful.” He had only just realized his feelings for you, and he had already thought that you wouldn’t like him.

I mean sure, did he think he was handsome? Hell yeah. Did he think he was the coolest spiderman? Yeah, obviously. But he didn’t know how you felt.

“I will never love anyone, because all love does is hurt people.” He spoke to himself, other spider people going on about their business.

“What about Ben? You both would make a cute couple.” Jessica said. She was trying to figure out who you liked. Bens ears picked it up, and immediately straightened himself, staring at you and Jessica from behind a pillar.

You stayed silent, and she laughed. “I knew it!”

“Shut uppp.” You groaned. “He’s weird, and yeah he says everything that comes to his head, but i dunno.. his quirks are just kinda cute. Like he’s weird in a cute way.”

Ben smiled at that, glad you didn’t notice him through the conversation.

“I take back what I said earlier. Maybe I’ll ask her out later- no- I will ask her out later.” He nodded.

“I knew it!” Lyla appeared on Jessica’s shoulder, laughing at you as well.

“Lyla! Were you seriously listening the whole time?”

“Uh, yeah. And I’m guessing you haven’t noticed lover boy standing right over there?” She pointed to him, and appeared on his shoulder next. He stood still and stared at you. You realized what happened as your cheeks started to heat up.

Lyla laughed again. “So cute.” She said, and disappeared.

You looked back at Jessica. Jessica shrugged her shoulder. “Go get your man.”

You flipped her off, but went up to him anyways.

“So.. how much of that did you hear..?”

“All of it. Was it true? Cause literally just right before that I-“ you shut his rambling up with a kiss. His eyes widened, before they closed, and he kissed you back, putting his hand on your waist, and pulled you closer as he did so.

When you guys pulled apart, he smiled, and so did you.

“Wanna go out with me later?”

“Was that kiss not already an answer?”

He chuckled and Jessica smirked behind you both.

Tiny gripe in tiny text

I've been doing blog sweeps to find old folks I used to rp with but also more spiderfolk... There's no active Ben Reilly's which is sad. Ben is Dani's mentor and hero and I CRAVE that interaction. No Superiors. Like, I hate Superior Spider-man (I hate anyone that hurts Peter tbh) but he's such an EXCELLENT character. Where the hell are the Octavius'? Part of me is tempted to add Spider-man Unlimited to the muse list (but dear god would I have to go digging and make my own icons and who would remember a very short lived 90s Spidey ) A lot of the Peter Parkers I run into are HIGHLY selective which is unfortunate...understandable, but unfortunate. Also picky Deadpools? C'mon you beautiful mercs, I have a Domino dying to interact with you. I'm probably one of the few people that will ship them. Dani would love to get a chance to meet Wade.

*moderate grumblings*

@comfortfoodcontent did it first, but here are my Top 10 Marvel Comics runs, in no particular order.

Thunderbolts 1-75 by Busiek, Bagley, Nicieza, et al. - indisputably the best, wouldn't still be reading comics without it.

Defenders vol 4 1-12 by Fraction, Dodson, McKelvie, etc. - the shortest run on this list but one of my all-time fave comics that I re-read more often than most.

Amazing Spider-Man by Lee, Romita, etc. (issues 39-122) - while the Lee/Ditko run is great and features the introductions of so many iconic villains and characters, the soap opera elements of this era, culminating in the Death of Gwen Stacy, with Romita drawing both MJ and Gwen, makes it the best to me.

Spider-Man comics from Revelations to The Final Chapter - possibly the most overlooked era, this stretch of 20+ issues each of 4 different ongoing Spidey series, from the end of the Clone Saga/Ben Reilly era to the Byrne relaunch, are the comics that were coming out when I started reading as a young lad, and will always be my favourites, especially with Wieringo and JR Jr. and Steve Skroce doing much of the art.

Ultimate Spider-Man 1-160 by Bendis, Bagley, Immonen, Lafuente, etc. - The best attempt to make Spider-Man relevant to teens again without just sticking Peter in a perpetual loser cycle.

Daredevil by Nocenti and Romita Jr. (250-282) - I don't think there's a bad DD comic between 168 and 300, but these ones are the best.

Daredevil by Waid, Rivera, Samnee, etc. (vol 3 1-36, vol 4 1-18) - After a period of time where I wasn't buying comics at all, this brought me back and got me collecting like never before.

Fantastic Four by Defalco, Ryan, etc. (356-416) - I know in my heart that there are better FF runs, but this one has Lyja Lazerfist and Psi-Lord Franklin Richards and Sue Storm's ridiculous swimsuit costume and it is my favourite.

Post-Onslaught X-Men (specifically Uncanny 341-350, X-Men 62-71) - Again, these issues are intrinsically linked to childhood memories but also the Joe Madureira and Carlos Pacheco art is amazing and the stories are fun.

Captain Marvel by Peter David, ChrisCross, etc. (volumes 4 and 5) - IDK I just love these comics. They're very fun.

Hello , just wanna ask if you know more comics where he appears as Mr knight?

Hello! Thanks for sending an ask and there's absolutely no need to apologize for your English (yours is great and goodness knows that it's an absolute charlie foxtrot of a language/I kark it up often enough myself)!

WOOF WOOF

im drooling

[taramariewords]

Let's delve into the world of Marvel Comics with an observation about Spider-Man. One of the most fascinating aspects of Spider-Man's backstory is the existence of the "Clone Saga," a storyline that ran through the Spider-Man comics in the 1990s. In this saga, Peter Parker, aka Spider-Man, discovers that he has been cloned by a villain named the Jackal.

The weirdest part of the Clone Saga is the revelation that the Peter Parker who had been acting as Spider-Man for many years was actually the clone, while the original Peter Parker had been living a quiet life elsewhere. This twist shocked readers and led to a complex storyline that explored themes of identity, destiny, and what it means to be a hero.

One of the most interesting aspects of this storyline is the impact it had on Spider-Man's character. The revelation that he was the clone, not the original, forced Peter to confront his sense of self and question his place in the world. It also introduced the character of Ben Reilly, the original Peter Parker, who took on the mantle of Spider-Man for a time.

The Clone Saga is a prime example of the complex and sometimes convoluted nature of superhero comics, where even the most iconic characters can be subject to unexpected twists and turns. Despite its complexity, the Clone Saga remains a memorable chapter in Spider-Man's history, showcasing the enduring appeal and depth of the character.
