#he does not like spiders

[littleraeofsunshineda]

I love it when they do this.

My fiancé is regularly struck anew by the absurdity of listening to a radio program on which a man boldly asserted that every man's worst fear is raising a child that isn't his own

He still recalls the horror that he was driving and had to wait 25 minutes to get home, wake me up, and exclaim in strangled tones but what about.... spiders...???!!!

someone probably said this already but in spiderverse i think it's interesting how when pavitr was first introduced everyone thought something bad was gonna happen to him bc of how confident and optimistic he was. and then in the actual movie we see that something bad was supposed to happen to him (police chief dying!) but it doesn't! miles stops it! and miguel berates miles for this, says it's going to cause the universe to collapse or whatever.

there's this idea that tragedy is inherent to spidermans growth, and while it's true that some spiderpeople learn important lessons through loss, no one stops to ask, is it really necessary? yeah, maybe the chief was supposed to die. but why does spiderman have to be formed through tragedy? why do we (as heroes) have to let people die? pavitr didn't lose anyone, and he's still a good spiderman! maybe, if he doesn't suffer, he'll end up better off for it!

so while miguel is arguing for all this big picture stuff about saving the multiverse he's lost sight of what it really means to be a spiderman, he's not looking out for the real individual people. yeah it's just one person who would die, but that one person means something to someone. shrugging and saying "stuff just sucks sometimes, we can't do anything about it" is the opposite of what superheroes do. pretty obviously, miles arc is also a reflection of the struggles people face in real life, working within unequal systems, where it's easy to shrug and say "that's just the way it is" and not ask "but why does it need be this way? can't we do something about it?"

miguel is arguing that you can't have your cake and eat it too. presumably, miles and co. are going to find a way to get around that and change things for the better (and maybe that's why miles has that line about two cakes in the advisors office!)

Deadpool doesn’t know Peter’s identity right? How differently does he act with Spider-man? And how does he find out? And how does he react to it?

Deadpool has no idea Spiderman and his favorite bartender of all time are the same person. In fact, it doesn't even cross his mind- because there's something else that's bothering him.

Like the fact that Peter's story just doesn't make sense. For one, there's literally no trace of him. There isn't a single iota of proof backing any of his backstory- not a single prison in the greater New York area that has records of him, no family, no acquaintances...it's like he just didn't exist before he started working at St. Margaret's.

Of course's there's other things that tickle Wade's senses.

There's that time Wade followed him into a dead-end alleyway, only to find it empty. There's also that time Peter was able to dodge a piece of thrown glass faster than Wade could see it.

Then that other time(s) he was spying checking in Peter's apartment only to feel like he just narrowly avoided getting killed. Do normal people have eye-shine like that, or was it just the trick of the light?

He's just a mystery. And Wade's fucking obsessed with mysteries. Especially when they come in a package that looks and sounds and tastes (god willing) as good as Peter Parker.

Which means he does his absolute best to worm into Parker's personal space. He just wasn't expecting Parker to let him in. And he's so nice and funny. The simmering undertone of repressed violence is fucking hot too. It's not long before he's fucking smitten.

As for Spiderman, it starts off as a hit meet-cute! The issue is that Spiderman wasn't supposed to survive him. Spiderman was also not supposed to be so violent and fun and competent.

Peter Parker and Spiderman are just ticking all his boxes left and right...Wade's never had someone who just matches him, let alone two people.

So if he's gotta kill a few assassins to keep Spiderman's contract to himself...that's what he calls a bonus. And if he's also spending way more time taking jobs in the city just to be near Peter Parker, that's just a neat coincidence :)))

MILES MORALES & HOBIE BROWN in SPIDERMAN: ACROSS THE SPIDER-VERSE (2023)

"Listen to me, bruv. Whole point of being Spider-Man is your independence. Being your own boss. You don't need all this."

hazel posts a tiktok captioned "true love i think?". the tiktok is literally just hazel giggling as she tries to narrate screenshots of texts between steve and eddie over the years.

here’s some of them:

Steve: I’m going to kill you.

Eddie: ?

Steve: How hard is it to shut a cabinet door?

Eddie: 💤💤💤

Eddie: think i should tell the girls about the wolf spider i found in the basement?

Steve: YES

Steve: I need two more years of hiding shit down there at least. I can sense the fear waning.

Eddie: 👍

*three minutes later*

Steve: Wait you killed the spider though right?

Eddie: *leaves Steve on read to torture him*

Steve: ?

Steve: Ed

Steve: ???

Eddie: now i did 

Eddie: but if the ladies ask no i didn’t

Steve: wtf did you order from Amazon?

Eddie: don’t open it

Eddie: it’s for the girls

Steve: Yeah right.

Eddie: excuse me

Eddie: did you go to bed without me??

Steve: Dude I totally forgot Moe’s actual name again…

Steve: The school called asking to speak with "Lucy’s parent or guardian" and I said sorry wrong number and hung up.

Eddie: dude

Eddie: wait why’d the school call about moe

Steve: She got suspended from the basketball team.

Eddie: again?

Pavitr is so real because how can any of the other spider-people get all of that hair under that tiny, skintight mask so easily??

Rules: Make a poll with five of your all-time favorite characters and then tag five people to do the same. See which character is everyone's favorite!

I was tagged by @suddenrundown, thanks for the tag! I was so tempted to put "eliot's baseball hair" but I resisted (also polls don't allow strikethroughs. sad). tagging @michinaranja, @vero-niche, @acidmatze and anyone else who wants to play!

Vaggie: Alastor can you watch the eggs their being....eggs and I have to- just take them off my hands

Alastor: ooo i certainly will....

Vaggie:.....in a peaceful manner. Alastor.

Alastor: mmm well that's less fun, also why should I watch them?

Vaggie: well you're going to some meeting and I have to help charlie-

Alastor: didn't she excuse you from your duties for today?

Vaggie:...why would she- why would I ask for that??

Alastor: why, you have to come to this meeting to my dear!

Vaggie: no I dont?? It's an overlord meeting I'm not an overlord-

Alastor: but you are!

Vaggie: if anything charlie should probably be going with you rather then me- what what??

Alastor: I'll explain on the way! *just fucking leaves*

Vaggie: wha- alastor! Alastor I swear to the lord you better explain!

Alastor: hmmm, well you're an overlord my dear I don't think there's anything else TO explain

Vaggie: right...but I'm NOT an overlord??

Alastor: I beg to differ, I knew there was something off about you but couldn't place it until Charlie said something

Vaggie: Charlie- what does- okay you know what? You're insane. I'm going to go talk to Charlie myself!

Alastor grabs her shirt collar like a kitten: ah-ah-ah you have a meeting to attend my dear! It's be bad manners if you skipped it, whoch I suppose you've been skipping them for the past 5 or so years?

Vaggie: No, I haven't! and let go of my you asshole!

Alastor: hmmm no I don't think I will~ come on now! We're already half way there!

Vaggie: ugh, at least tell me how you and xharlie think I'm an overlord- which I'm NOT by the way!

Alastor: well...do you remember that sinner you saved? The one you had a slat with and ended uo teaching self defense?

Vaggie: how do you-....ah, charlie- what does that have to do with anything??

Alastor radio noise of displeasure: well, APPARENTLY they told more demons, you DO remember the large influx of demons who came to you right?

Vaggie: I.....I um....yeah....

Alastor: well they said they owed you 'favors' correct?

Vaggie:....fuck.

Alastor: they gave you their souls until said favor is called upon! You not using it has apparently given you the reputation of a very lenient overlord, a defensive and protective one at that! So more people cane to you, you trianed them in defense and most gave you their souls so you could call upon them for a favor at a time of your choosing!

Vaggie: going through the 5 stages of grief trying to process it all

Alastor: On top of that, the other overlords seem to be threatened by the fact you have so many souls and demons going to you WILLINGLY, you not showing up to meetings and beong little morningstars girlfriend doesnt help that either!So this will be a fun first meeting~

Vaggie: no no no no no nope! Alastor, you let me go right this second! I am not- no! Alastor! Alastor!!!

Zestial: Alastor and...oh the defensive Overlord nice to meet you again nd to finally meet you

Vaggie: ¿¡Quién diablos es esta araña joder!? (Who the hell is this spider fuck!?)
