I know you deal with Wigfrid but I just HAVE to yell about how done DIRTY Webber was!! Like, Maxwell’s bullshitery was this sort of monkey paw’s “be careful what you wish for” type thing. Oh, you want to be loved again as an amazing actor? Here, you now perfectly capture the character. have fun in the scary dimension asshole. Oh, you want more knowledge? Here! More knowledge! But only when you’re in the scary dimension.

And like! I originally thought Webber wanted to have family again, and that was his wish, and he got it with being able to befriend spiders. BUT HE DIDN’T WISH FOR THAT!!!! HE WISHED FOR A WAY TO TURN BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry for rambling so much but UGH this game has infested my head

oh anon this is really interesting because i actually never knew that webber had a confirmed deal that he made with maxwell. i guess i don't really look at him well enough to know off the top of my head, but i remember that it wasn't addressed in along came a spider at any rate.

usually i think the concept of webber being happier as a human boy again (in like, good endings or hypothetical concepts like that) is a little plain, if only because it removes next to all of webber's character growth and separates him from some of the facets that make him an interesting character, and canonically in present- as addressed in one of his vignettes- that isn't really what he wants

but if at some point earlier on in his lifetime he did want that (which, to be honest, what little boy in a situation like that wouldn't) that would be a very interesting angle to explore with his character arc and how he processes the world

if you were to have asked me what i thought webber's deal with maxwell was, i probably would have said something along the lines of what you thought it was. to be loved, or to not have people be terrified of him, or to have people who would understand him (something that his father didn't even really do💥)
