And yes, let's be real there is NO Reality in which Harry Osborn is ANYTHING REMOTELY close to straight and ONLY feels platonic for his "Best Friend"!

Convince me otherwise! You can't!

I cannot express how much writing manic Remus made me giggle! As a fellow insomniac, sometimes you just have to have a little fun at your own expense. If anyone would appreciate that, it’s YSMS Remus. 🦝

it’s 2am and i can’t stop thinking about steve lying in bed with robin beside him and they’re both supposed to sleep and robin’s quiet, so steve has time to think. he doesn’t like that. he’s almost about to ask her, beg her just to ramble away again — it’s the reason she’s his person, after all. she talks so he won’t have to think. and he listens so she won’t go mad. they just work. soulmates.

though steve isn’t sure she knows that’s one of the reasons she’s his favourite. robin and dustin. always talking. always louder than his thoughts, always drowning out the three very loud songs that are stuck in his head simultaneously, layered in with questions that could be of universal interest if only steve could focus on them long enough to decipher them.

nightmares and flashbacks are only part of the reason steve sucks at sleep. only part of the reason he refuses to go even one night without dustin or robin.

everything is always so loud. and when everything is loud, steve sort of freezes. and when he freezes, he wonders what’s the point. what’s his point. beyond all this. who is he when he’s not babysitting teenagers or fighting inter-dimensional monsters?

is he even supposed to be anyone beyond that?

even before all that, he wasn’t really anyone. he wasn’t himself — but he doesn’t even know what that’s supposed to mean, so he tries not to think about that too hard. he took on a role, something that was expected of him, something that was easy. it’s not so easy now, but it’s better. but still, it feels like a role. like he’ll lose himself completely once this is all over.

the question in his head has always been, who is steve harrington to the world? but it should be, who is steve harrington to himself? and maybe that is the question. it’s just, he wouldn’t know. there are too many at once. it’s too loud. he can’t think.

so he shifts in bed and turns around to face robin — their eyes meeting in the dark. the moment he opens his mouth to ask, the words escape him.

robin takes his hand. he sort of wants to cry.

“what’s wrong?” she whispers, and he hates her a little bit for always asking, for knowing how to do that, for knowing the words, for knowing him.

he swallows and tries, closing his eyes so he can pretend he’s talking to himself. “who do you think i am?”

because who am i to you? is stupid. dingus, she would say with that smile and steve would ache too much to rephrase the question or make her believe he’s longing to be something other than dingus. or at least find out what that means to her.

and because who am i? would have freaked her out too much.

robin squeezes his hand and breathes a very soft, very gentle, “steve” that cuts into him all the same. he’s a bit tired of that name, whatever that means. or maybe he wants it to mean something.

“forget it, sorry,” he mumbles and tries to pull away his hand, but robin won’t let him. steve sighs, and it’s almost a whine, almost pained, almost a person.

“no, let me, let me think about it. it’s just, you’re… you’re steve.” and she says it like it could mean something. like maybe it does. like maybe there’s hope, at 2:13 in the morning. “you’re a fucking asshole but also the nicest person i know. the kindest. the most caring. you’re the person who always makes me laugh, who always has my back, who would… you’d die for me. you’re the person i don’t really understand because you do everything with everything you are. everything you have. and you don’t even know, i think. you’re the person i thought i hated for a while, the person who showed me who i am even when you didn’t even know i existed. you’re the person i want in my life forever. but i don’t think there’s a word for this other than steve, so you see my predicament here. you’re steve. my steve. and that’s sort of the best thing anyone can be, if you’re still asking for my humble opinion.”

oh. so it does mean something. many somethings. future somethings, too. the kind that make the noise inside steve’s head quiet down until there’s only robin and the absolute amount of love he has for her.

so he shifts once more, but this time to lay his head on her chest, his arms around her in both of their favourite position. she hugs him back immediately and steve breathes out an, “okay.” as if she didn’t just save him a little bit. as if he was just making sure.

she smiles and he can feel it in her whole body. he returns it. the night’s worries can’t touch them like that.

This is something I want to write about in more detail later, but speaking as someone who is also Chinese, I really love how Martin Li was written in the two Insomniac games and to me, he's a great example of how you can write an East Asian villain who isn't some kind of Yellow Peril or mystical martial artist stereotypical racist trope, but without erasing his culture and ethnicity, and actually let him have a sympathetic background story and motivations without him losing his edge, and he's actually allowed to grow as a character and given the chance to redeem himself without dying at the hands of or for a white character, and while he does draw some moral inspiration from May and Peter, it's ultimately Miles who helps him redeem himself as another character of colour.

what an absolutely tragic state of play presentation. good lord.

i know we've been growing apart for years, but i think i might officially be breaking up with playstation for real 😔

im so sorry astro bot.. i was so excited for you but unfortunately i think they killed that one in the womb

if your muse has nowhere to go for thanksgiving? they're WELCOME at peter and mj's, there will be LOTS of extra food! they've just gotta comply with the "no weapons, gadgets, or gizmos at the table" rule and promise not to ANTAGONIZE any of the other guests.

and, you know, not mention the fact that their hosts have opened their door so widely because they don't HAVE any other family left to celebrate with that day.

except when they're racist. which i guess was just standard for naughty dog and sucker punch it was their most favorite thing everrrr

[edgepunk]

I saw this suggestion on reddit and I'm 👀

basically, I saw some people suggest that in some sections of the game you, as the player, straight up lose control over Peter while he has the black suit and/or he uses completely different attacks/starts attacking on his own.

which, on paper sounds like a cool idea, but I could only see it happening in only a couple of scripted events during the main story. in free roam, it could happen once in a while during a heated fight or as a last resort/power boost when his health bar is low, because a feature like this might not be for everyone since players want to have full control of their character

it's still a cool idea that connects the gameplay with the story that I can totally see happening, but it'd have to be limited or we they could do it similarly to GoW where you press a button combo as a QTE and Peter unleashes hell on earth

[bkgbian]

yk i kinda hate wfa. cause i saw someone use one panel to prove their point in canon but it was so ???? like you know they ain't like that right. like hate how they simplify their characters and erase core parts of their personality. and i Know it's an au and etc but aaaaaa
