after writing my thoughts on toomes, i also realized something.

the only time in the entire movie that we see him being a decent person, is when it's revealed that he's liz's dad. from the beginning, toomes is a murderer, an egocentric and dangerous dickhead, and that's the toomes - the vulture - that peter knows, that the entire audience knows. sure, there's that one hint when he holds a child's drawing of the avengers, but it's (purposely) hit or miss. after that, toomes is an actual heartless villain all the way through.

but here? the literal vulture is an ordinary dad and husband. and he acts like the dad with peter, making dad comments, not at all threatening. the vulture has a name, has a loving family, very much unlike the big scary monster that dropped peter from very high, and that has tried to kill him multiple times.

that's why the twist works! i NEVER expected it. literally no one in the theater expected it. in an audience reaction on youtube of homecoming, EVERYONE audibly gasps. it's just. oh my god!!!

at the same time the scene is eventually played for laughs, when peter first enters the house we're met with absolute silence. no music, not even a tense tune. there's nothing. peter has been here, but now? he feels like he's stepped in enemy territory (well, pretty much). peter is terrified, so much that he barely pays liz any mind until homecoming.

and when toomes solves the puzzle, he maintains the dad stance... while holding a gun. he still acts like a dad when peter finds him in the warehouse, and then he drops the whole building on him. and boom! that's adrian toomes for you.

honestly, i think he's one of the mcu's best villains, he's not one-dimensional at all. personally he's my favorite villain in the mcu spider-man franchise (we do not speak of no way home in this household shhhhh). but really, homecoming is my favorite movie, so i'm biased lmao.

Beau: And that is 100% the honest truth of everything that happened.

Beau: Are... you really mad at me? Cause that's totally a valid reaction.

Dahlia: ...And you don't want to sleep with my sister?

Beau: WHAT! NO! THAT WAS TERRIFYING! I've been trying to scrub it from my brain for like 3 days. Dahlia: Yeah, sounds like my family.

Dahlia: And all this stuff about Prom, you've got nothing to do with that?

Beau: There is no way on simearth that I would ever ask your sister to go to Prom with me Dahlia. Cross my heart. Also, Check.

Beau: Watcher, I've been trying to say this for days! It feels like a giant weight has lifted off my chest. Dahlia: So what now? Where do we go from here? Also Check.

Beau: I think it's best if we just stay friends for now Dahls. I like you, a lot, and I don't want to ruin that. And maybe I'll join the chess team seeing as I ANNIHILATED YOU! Checkmate! Chess Champion of the World Beau Broke at your service!

Dahlia: Yeah, friends. Sounds good.🤐

hey did you know??? that if you stop stretching and maintaining mobility in your body then it goes away?? things get tight and you can't move the way that you used to??? and when you decide to try getting a stretch routine going that the first week fucking sucks because you keep going 'damn i used to be able to do this no problem' and then you have to switch gears and be kind to yourself and just focus on getting better from here instead of berating yourself for dropping the good habits in the first place??? and your body never stops aging so you gotta keep taking care of it and sometimes you gotta take care of it extra in certain areas because of things that happened when you were younger and it's boring and sometimes hurts but it's so necessary???

i am yelling this at myself right now i am going through An Experience (trying to get into a routine of body maintenance again for my physical and mental health)

We don’t talk enough about Marcille wearing elven clothes pre-canon. Falin would have died right then and there if she ever saw Marcille dressed like this

DC x DP Prompt: Bruce is bad at emoting but at least ghosts are empathic (too bad bat kids are not)

Was reading Twincognito on AO3 when I stumbled across this gem again:

~

" “Danny, Tim. I was just…checking in. Is everything alright?” Curse his inability to make meaningful conversation when it wasn’t a life or death situation.

They glanced at each other and shrugged.

Then Danny hauled himself out of the bed and walked over to Bruce.

Bruce tried not to let too much excitement show on his face. "

~

Now I really want to read a story where Bruce adopts Danny post Meta trafficking and is being his usual emotionally constipated self. His kids keep getting mad at him because he's treating their new meta brother who was trafficked poorly (generally being stilted in conversation with him, walking away hurriedly mid-conversation, avoiding Danny when he's feeling really awkward, etc). They think Bruce is discriminating against Danny for being a civilian, meta, dealer's pick, but really it's just Bruce being horribly socially awkward. Danny knows this because of ghost empathy and find the whole thing hilarious. The whole thing comes to a head with the Bat Kids staging an intervention in the Bat Cave.
