idk if this has been said already but i’ve recently rewatched atsv for like the 4th time and tbh….
i really don’t think earth 42 miles would’ve gone down a much different path if he had been bitten like he was supposed to.
like let’s think abt it, even with the technological advancements he has as the prowler, he’s not necessarily fighting crime as it is. like he already has similar abilities as a spider person ( swinging w his grapplers n shit ), but still does what he does.
let’s also consider how his dad hasn’t been around for years, so even w spider powers, would he really have drifted that far from becoming the prowler??? like on earth 1610, w jeff being a cop, i think that helps to instill a stronger sense of heroism in miles. along with the fact that there was a spiderman before miles, so he had more heroic figures to look up to ( also drawing him further from his uncle’s influence ). but without his dad or peter in earth 42, his uncle has a much stronger influence on him, and we all know his uncle isn’t known for being heroic.
this is not to say that he’d become a villain or anything, because as we know, the prowler on earth 42 is not a villain. i just think he’d still do similar things if he had gotten bit, but w spider powers lol !!

I might have theorized a little bit too close to the sun bc what if we get another karaoke scene in season 8...
what if the firefam goes to the bar after shift. everyone leaves early except for buck and eddie. they find themselves on stage again, singing what I like about you. they look at each other longer than they should and flashbacks from the bachelor party start playing. people cheering around them as they exit the stage, them standing in a secluded corner, shoulders touching, love song playing in the background, and we get an almost kiss.

maizuru and milsiril are my favorite fucked up dungeon meshi mother figures
#dungeon meshi#maizuru#milsiril#my post#both were involved in some kind of highly skilled group (espionage/ninja work and the canaries)#maizuru and milsiril both have some aspect that makes their relationship with their sort of son innately complicated.\#maizuru has been having and affair and milsiril has biases towards short lived races#both dote heavily on them but milsiril does it more clearly in an overprotective way#their sons have complicated emotions towards them. and they’re right for that#lets see… toshiro always eats the food maizuru makes due to the love in its preparation. he doesn’t seem to have a relationship with his mok#*mom#so he was very close to maizuru#but after finding out she and his dad was having an affair he closed off from her. maizuru still heavily dotes on him however#maizuru also invented a spell to scare his child self into returning to her#and trained ninja techniques into him (I believe?)#and milsiril (though she did train him) didn’t like the idea of kabru going into dangerous dungeons#she ended up coddling him in that regard. he doesn’t know how to do household chores (but I doubt toshiro knows either LMAO)#(he probably has servants or maizuru who do it for him)#but in fighting specifically:#milsiril also trained kabru in sword fighting but unlike maizuru’s training it’s not very useful in the dungeon#now back to food:#unlike maizuru’s food the elven foods milsiril gave kabru weren’t as well received#that has to do with the different culture he’s from though#he thinks of his birth mom’s food more and had a stringer relationship with her#*stronger#despite some issues kabru says that he’s grateful for her as his foster mom (iirc)#I imagine toshiro’s probably the same way even if he wouldn’t admit it (BECAUSE MAIZURU IS FUCKING HIS DAD???)#toshiro doesn’t feel close to any of his family so his biggest connections as a kid probably would’ve been maizuru and hien.#kabru has milsiril and rin and all anyone could ever want but would never want to return to#anyways. end of essay. tldr: milfs are messy

Random Obscure Musical Recs(?): La Tempesta/Prospera
Finally getting back to these! It's been a year since Tom Jones died, so I figured I'd celebrate him by highlighting this (these) show(s) of his which someone should have produced by now. We got a production of an unfinished Sondheim show, how has no one picked up what the librettist of the longest-running musical in the world has called his best work? (Okay, there was a Japanese production in 2019. At least Japan appreciates Tom Jones!)
La Tempesta, unsurprisingly, is an adaptation of The Tempest. In a 2012 interview, Jones explained that the Italian title is "in honor of a production by the Piccolo Teatro di Milano, an innovative Italian company whose work also inspired many of the theatrical devices used in The Fantasticks." Somewhere between September 2021 and June 2022, the show was rewritten as Prospera, with a female lead. I'm not sure if both versions are available for production (like the two versions of The Fantasticks), or if only Prospera is. I think the latter. But there are pages for both La Tempesta and Prospera on jonesandschmidt.com. I haven't been able to find anything Jones said about the rewrite. Did he think that having Prospera rather than Prospero worked better thematically? Did he just think there should be more roles for middle-aged women? I don't know, and I probably never will. Unless the show gets produced and the composer, Andrew Gerle, talks about it, I guess.
For a synopsis, see The Tempest. Or, see Prospera's whole script! The musical doesn't follow the play exactly, but it's close enough that if you know it, you can get what's happening in the songs. It's been a while since I've seen or read The Tempest so when reading Prospera I wasn't always sure if something was in the original not, but I can say that there's more emphasis on Prospera's anger and the way it affects her (same goes for Prospero in La Tempesta). And she gets a confrontation with Antonio! Which I'd forgotten that Prospero really doesn't in the play until I checked just now to see how the scenes differed! Here's the author's note from the script:
Containing traditional musical theatre songs and a fantastical electronic score, PROSPERA is based on Shakespeare’s play, but in this version, the Tempest is not just the great storm Prospera creates to shipwreck her enemies. It is the storm inside herself, the raging anger and the need to punish those who took away her kingdom and cast her and her infant daughter Miranda out to sea on a rotting ship. Likewise, in this version her two spirits, Ariel and Caliban, are not just offsprings of some forgotten witch but somehow part of herself, twisting images of dark and light constantly intertwined. The story of the play is the process by which Prospera is finally able to forgive her enemies and free herself from the heavy burden of hatred and revenge. When this is done, she breaks her magic staff and bids the audience, and the world, farewell.
There were of course some extra changes made for Prospera, like Antonio being the title character's counselor instead of her brother and Gonzalo being Consuela. Trinculo is described as "possibly male, possibly female, possibly both" - dunno if that was also true for La Tempesta. Ariel is female in both versions (and she gets some interesting story changes). "Thy mother was a piece of virtue, and/She said thou wast my daughter" became "The mid-wife said so, and she was a woman of some experience," which was a relief because I have never recovered from seeing that scene done with Prospero played by and as a woman and saying that line as "Thy father was a piece of virtue," etc. which makes no sense. But I digress.
A lot of the dialogue is based on Shakespeare, rewritten in a way that might bother people who have the original basically memorized (judging by my reaction to Twelfth Night adaptations). I think there are a few lines of actual Shakespeare left, and also a lot that's original to Jones, written in a poetic style similar to The Fantasticks. The metatheatrical elements will also be familiar to fans of Jones's other work. He knew what he liked. <3
And, the songs! The songs are great, with a really cool sound. Which is very different from Harvey Schmidt's, but that's okay! This makes me want to hear more from Andrew Gerle. You can listen to demos at the jonesandschmidt.com links above, and also I've uploaded them here and here. Some tracks are the same in both versions, in part or in full, so the Prospera changes aren't always reflected. The casting isn't always consistent between tracks and the cast lists on the site aren't completely accurate, but I think the artist info in the files I uploaded is correct. I'm just not sure who sings Caliban's solo - T. Oliver Reid is the only Caliban listed, but it doesn't sound like him. It might be Gerle? I am fairly certain that Jones has a cameo as Gonzalo in the opening. :D
Here's a video with clips of the Japanese production set to the La Tempesta demo:
youtube
And another video with Prospera demos:
youtube
And here's Tom Jones talking about the show, pre-rewrite (but mentioning how he created the Antonio confrontation, guess it's been too long since I watched this):
youtube
I miss him. :(
Sample songs and some more stuff below the cut!
Prospera and Caliban's backstory.
Okay this is actually three songs, but only one track so I'm not cheating! Ariel draws out Ferdinand, who sings a duet with Miranda before they meet, and also after. Ferdinand and Miranda here are Max Crumm and Samantha Bruce, who I saw as Matt and Luisa in The Fantasticks together.
Antonio and Sebastian plot!
The script has three songs that aren't on the demo: a reprise of "Full Fathom Five" for Ariel and Alonso, a reprise of "One Day When It Was Raining" when Caliban tries to convince Stephano and Trinculo to kill Prospera, and in place of the masque, "See the Snow" for Ariel, which seems to start as a reprise of "Hear the Music" but then go in another direction (it's hard to tell with just text, sigh). "See the Snow" reminds me of something Tom Jones said about the ending of The Fantasticks, and that was in the same interview where I first heard him talk about La Tempesta, so I wouldn't be surprised if it was a conscious connection. So here are some of the lyrics:
SEE THE SNOW: IT’S FALLING SOFTLY. FEEL ITS FINGERS TOUCH YOUR SKIN. SEE THE OLD WORLD BEING COVERED SO A NEW WORLD CAN BEGIN. GONE ARE ALL THE DARKENED SHADOWS, DISAPPEARED WITHOUT A TRACE. IN THEIR PLACE, A NEW BEGINNING. IN THEIR PLACE, A STATE OF GRACE. WHITE AS A PAGE THAT’S NOT YET WRITTEN. SWEET AS A LONGED FOR SECOND CHANCE.
Here's hoping for a real cast album with everything on it someday! And just in case it isn't clear, I absolutely do recommend this one.

Honestly, I legitimately don't understand how people think Adrien is going to get an arc... Thomas wants Adrien to be Marinette's Ken doll and nothing else.
I can see why he made this decision: It's a no-brainer because he doesn't actually have to stop and think about what girls like in a Love Interest. He can just copy and paste The Girl character trope but dress it up in boy clothes and everyone will eat that shit up. Like... He literally gave Adrien's arc to Felix... who is technically an earlier version of Adrien... it is incredibly bizarre... like idk how people look at that and think it's fine.
Even if you wanted to say, "well sure Adrien's arc wasn't planned from the beginning, but they can still build an arc off of previous seasons" it's too little too late. The ship has already passed because the climax of any potential arc Adrien COULD have had died with Gabriel. But more importantly, I shouldn't have to wait 10 literal years for THE PROTAGONISTS LOVE INTEREST to get an arc. That is actually insane and no amount of delulu is going to convince me this isn't a problem.
Look man... if you're a newer fan, then this might not really bother you -- but I have been watching this show when the first few episodes of season 1 came out. I don't care how good you think your writing is, you shouldn't make your audience wait A DECADE before giving the deuteragonist his arc.
This show was never "slow burning" Adrien's [non-existent] arc and I don't see why they'd suddenly give him one when Adrien absence of an arc didn't impact the shows success. Why would they break the formula they've crafted over the past 10 years by giving him an arc? Seriously, I think people should lower their expectations lol.
