#mj fans don’t hurt me

[akechi-if-he-slayed]

idc how much people hate the cartoon msm 2017 parksborn will always be special to me…

[thunderlingcloudie0fficial]

What your favorite Spider-Man(Peter’s) ship says about you

Mary Jane x Peter/Spidey: As basic as this ship is you’re not basic you’re just a logical realistic non-risk-talking probably will name their child Brad person and I am okay with you

Gwen Stacey x Peter/Spidey: You’re really like turning fluff into angst or a bit delusional and probably you’re favorite cinematic Spider-Man is Andrew Garfield,you’re also probably really sweet and kind

MJ(Michelle Jones)/ x Peter/Spidey :You 100% like the Tom Holland movies and don’t care about what anyone says(same) you’re favorite dynamic is ‘She was a punk x He did ballet’ and ‘Tall queen x Short king’ a lot don’t ya? You also like how awkward they were at the start and find it really realistic and relatable which is kinda refreshing for a fictional Hollywood couple in your opinion also if Tom and Zendaya broke up you’ll stop believing in love(MCU Spider-Man or general Mcu fans interact)

Felicia/Black Cat x Pete/Spidey: I know little to no knowledge about this ship but you probably like ‘Are we fighting? Are we flirting’ dynamic(and probably smut)

Wade/Deadpool x Petey/Spidey: You ether like Andrew Garfield’s Spider-Man or a comic fan,you are in love with making everything gay and see no problem with that which is cool,you also like hurt/comfort a lot by that I mean you’re obsessed with it, also insecure Wade and ‘I only care about the inside’ Peter is your Roman Empire(I don’t ship it but the fan base is huge so might as well make the writing huge as well)

Bobby/Ice man x Peter/Spidey: I have little to no knowledge to this ship or Ice man in general to the point I had to search his real name. I know Ice man appeared in a few Spider-Man shows and comics. Came after reading a one Reddit post about their relationship . They might not be as close in the comic but NOTHING will stop you from shipping them

St@rker or Miles x Peter: dni and please stay away from me

Johnny Storm/Human torch x Peter/Webs:oh you’re cool,I like you. You’re a big fan of ‘Rivals to lovers’. You jump up and down when you see a blonde x brunette couple and is ether a ride or die fan since 200 B.C or just came after watching Deadpool and Wolverine. Your also ether a Tom holland movies fan(I love you) or a comic fan ALSo do you prefer them as young adults or teenagers?

Parksborn: You are delusional. VERY delusional. A thing I noticed is this ship is shipped in every version of Spider-Man,heck! Even in the MCU even though there is no evidence of Harry but you still ship it therefore you and your friends delusional mind have yearned my respect bravo. You also live for the ‘Rich boy x Their street rat’ dynamic

Honorable mentions:

Comic: SpideyDevil(Matt x Pete),Flash x Peter(I forgot the name-),Chad x Peter(from Marvel Aventures)

MCU: Parley/Parkner(Harley x Peter)

Hobie Hc's!!

warnings: none really just stuff about kissing :) (I'm not projecting you are) somethings may be misspelled and/or grammatically incorrect if so please let me know so I can fix it!

He likes to paint his nails and will paint yours if you ask nicely.

Hobie forces you to help during wash day, you don’t really have a choice anymore.

He definitely lives with you no matter if you're from his universe or you’re a fellow spider, he will find a way.

He definitely pierces himself but if you ask him to pierce you, he will refuse because he's too afraid to hurt you :(

Hobie babysits mayday for peter b. When he and Mj wanna have alone time

This man can't cook for the life of him. I feel like he would try to cook reader a romantic dinner but damn near burns down the kitchen and has to order takeout (he was really disappointed, but he made it up to you in cuddles and neck kisses

THIS MAN IS THE SLOPPIEST KISSER EVER. he doesn't take criticism.

He's not really a big fan of pda, with the exception of hugs and handholding, 

but if he feels someone is flirting with you and you don't realize or if someone was making you uncomfortable, he’ll come up from behind and give you a few kisses on the neck and ask if that person is bothering you.

When you guys are alone all he wants is to be all over you

When you guys cuddle, he prefers to be the little spoon. 

A/n: I hope you guys enjoy the food. I'm gonna try and more active with writing :3

"Can I make it up to you, please?"

Peter Parker x Black! Male reader

✩ Summary: Peter gets into an argument with the reader but makes it up to him...

✩ Word count: 2k

✩ Genre: Angst to Smut

✩ Request: Yes or No

✩ Warnings: Smut, crying, over stimulation (if you squint you'll see it), and (LIGHT) choking!!

✩Authors note: Sorry for disappearing for a while. School started again, and I wanna d!e already!!! Anyways this is my first attempt at writing smut, and it's so totally not proofread! So if there's any mistakes, please comment them so I can correct them.

"I don’t understand why you’re so mad at me!"

 

"Peter, I’m not fucking mad at you!"

 

Peter takes a deep breath and rubs his eyes with his wrist before placing them on either side of him, softly gripping at the sheets.

 

"Then why are you yelling at me?"

 

"I’m not-!" [Name] cuts himself off after hearing his tone. "I’m not yelling at you; I'm just... worried. Okay? Worried that one day you’ll meet your match or run into some crazy obsessed fan." He finishes his sentence with a softer tone.

 

"Well, you don’t have to be! Okay?"

 

"I know, but..."

 

"Is this about MJ?:

 

[Name’s] worried look is wiped away by Peter’s accusation and a look of shock forms.

 

"W-what? No!"

 

"Because it feels like it is! Is that why you meant by an obsessed fan?" Peter says, putting up air quotes while saying "obsessed fan. " 

 

"That’s not what I meant!"

 

"Then what did you mean? Because to me, it seems like you’re upset; I’ve been hanging out with her more often. Jealous even."

 

"Oh my God, Peter, you’re un-fucking-believable! This isn’t about her or anything else; this is about me! And my concerns! You don’t even know how many times I’ve seen you go up against some big and how terrified I've been! Terrified that you’ll get seriously hurt or worse."

 

Peter lets out a scoff.

 

"So you’re just being overprotective now?"

 

[Name's] jaw dropped at the sentence that left Peter’s lips. He wasn’t sure how to react.

Peter and [Name] never argued, and even if they did, they’d get over it within a minute or two, but for some god-forsaken reason, Peter was being an absolute dick.

The energy in the room increased by ten as both of them (mostly [Name], of course) could feel the anger begin to sink in even deeper.

 

"Peter. What. The. Fuck! Is wrong with you today? I don’t know why you’re being like this!"

 

"Like what?"

 

"Like a dick! I don’t even know why you’re arguing with me; I’m just telling you my fucking concerns, and you have the fucking gall to call me jealous and  overprotective."[Name] says, dragging out the word "Gall". 

 

"And I’m just telling you how I feel too!"

 

 

[Name] didn’t know how to react; he felt hurt and could feel a sob begin to make its way up his throat. He gulped it down (that didn’t work; he ended up still crying later, but that’s later) he began to pull at the bottom of his shirt while looking at the floor.

 

"Peter… Can you leave?" [Name] said quietly.

 

"W-what?"

 

"I said," Can you leave," please?"

 

"Okay. Fine."

 

And with that, Peter stood up and made his way out the door, leaving [Name] standing there in silence, a tear threatening to fall from his eye. It wasn't an empty threat, and the tear fell. And fell. And fell. And fell.

 

Soon the sun set behind the tall buildings of New York, and the moon rose, casting a small bit of light into [Name's] room. [Name] sunk into his bed as he stared up at the ceiling, a million thoughts rushing through his brain.

 

Are we over?

 

Why was he mad at me?

 

Should I say sorry?

 

Should he say sorry?

 

Is it my fault?

 

No, it's his fault.

For sure.

 

Tap tap tap. [Name] sat up softly and looked towards his window, expecting to see the source of the sound. But there was nothing…

 

"Am I hallucinating? Can you even hallucinate sounds?" [Name] thought aloud.

 

Now, you can actually hallucinate sounds, but this wasn't a hallucination. Tap. Tap. Tap. [Name] got up from his bed, crept towards the window, and slid it open.

 

"Hello…? Why'd I say hello? That's basically a death wish if this was a horror movie. "

 

"Hi!"

 

[Name] jumped back from the window with a yelp. Before creeping back towards it and looking out it once again, but this time staring down to see a familiar blue and red suit.

 

Peter stood on the building's brick wall, looking up at [name], his arms crossed around.

 

"Can I come in?"

 

"Yeah…" 

 

[Name] backed up from the wall as Peter climbed inside with a smile on his face.

 

"Do you have anything I can change into, babe?"

 

[Name] let out a scoff.

 

"Babe! Don't babe me, dude. Are you seriously going to pretend that our argument didn't happen?

 

"Sorry! I thought you'd be a little calmer. But do you?"

 

[Name] walked to his closet, pulled out a sweater, made his way toward his dresser, grabbed a pair of sweats, and threw them at Peter.

 

Peter changed and threw the suit in a corner before sitting down on the mattress. And a somewhat awkward energy filled the room.

 

"I'm sorry… I am. I don't know why I was being such a dick! But I'm sorry for what I said." Peter looked down at the floor, unable to look at his boyfriend.

 

"Peter…"  

 

[Name] wasn't sure what to say, and in situations like this (awkward, scared, and nervous), he often coiled his already-curled hair around his finger.

 

"I feel like such a shitty boyfriend."

 

[Name] placed his hand on Peter's cheek. "You're not a shitty boyfriend, though... You admit when you're wrong and understand why 6 wrong. That's legit one of the many reasons why I love you!"

 

Peter looked up at [name], nuzzled his face into his palm, and planted a soft kiss on his palm. [Name] ran his thumb over his pale cheek. It was a sweet moment that didn't last very long.

 

[Name] softly ran his thumb over the corner of Peter's soft lips. Peter adjusted his head and planted a kiss on the darker-skinned boy's thumb. [Name] smiled down at Peter.

 

"I love you, Peter..."

 

"I love you too."

 

[Name] pressed his finger against Peter's lip. He got the hint and opened his mouth, letting his boyfriend's thumb in. He looked up at [name] with innocent eyes as he bobbed his head up and down on his thumb.

 

"Jesus..." [Name] whispered out.

 

Peter came off his finger with a pop, his face turning a light pink.

 

"Can I make it up to you, please?"

 

[Name] nodded his head softly and backed up as Peter got up off the bed and kneeled in front of him.

 

"You can say no at any time, and I'll stop," Peter said with a smile.

 

"Same to you."

 

Peter reached up and pulled down [Name's] basketball shorts, dropping them to his ankles. Peter reached up and gently groped at the bulge in the other boy's boxers. Peter pulled them down with ease.

 

Peter stroked it gently, causing a soft whimper to release from [Name's] mouth as Peter's soft hands glided over his cock. Peter grabbed the base of [Name's] cock and gently licked the tip before taking it into his mouth. Peter looked up at [Name] as he slowly took more into his mouth, gagging a bit as he made his way towards the base.

 

[Name] reached down and placed his hand in Peter's hair, holding his head in place, making Peter gag as drool pooled out of the corner of his lips.

 

"Fuckkk! Peter, your mouth feels so  good."[Name] moaned out.

 

Peter let out another gagging sound and tapped the side of [Name's] thigh, signaling for him to let go. And [Name] did Peter come off his cock with a pop and look up at him with a smile, a rope of drool connecting [Name's] tip to his lips.

 

"Are you okay, Peter?"

 

"Yeah. Fine." Peter said as he began to slowly stroke [Name's] dick.

 

He placed it back in his mouth and began to go back down on it. He bobbed his head up and down in a repeating motion as he reached into his sweats and pulled out his own cock and began jerking himself off.

 

Peter came off his dick and kitten, licked the tip, and placed it back into his mouth, swirling his tongue around it.

 

"Agh, Jesus Peter" [name] whimpered out.

 

[Name] placed his hands on either side of his head and slowly began pulling his head further down on his shaft.

 

"I'm going to go a little rough. Is that okay with you?"

 

"Mmmm," Peter hummed in response, causing a soft vibration on [Names] dick, making him let out another moan.

 

[Name] gripped a handful of Peter's hair and began to pull his cock out of his mouth before slamming it back down his throat. Peter, still stroking his own cock, reached out and grabbed at [names] thighs for support.

 

[Name] strengthened his grip on Peter's head and began slamming his cock down Peter's throat harshly, causing drool to pool out of the corners of his lips.

 

"Ohhh God! F-fuck!"

 

Peter whimpered and whined around the length as tears filled his eyes, threatening to spill.

 

"MM~ MMM~" Peter whined out.

 

Peter jerked himself off at an even faster rate, chasing his climax. And he chased it, cumming all over his hands and floor.

 

"Aww, Pete...."

 

[Name] pulled his dick out of Peter's mouth, leaving him gasping for air.

 

"F-fuck~" Peter said in between breaths.

 

"Are you okay, Pete?"

 

"Mhm."

 

"You came... kind of fast."

 

Peter's pale face turned a soft pink as he ran a hand through his hair, looking down at the floor.

 

"Do you want to, like, you know, go all the way? You don't have to say yes." [Name] said, reaching down and lifting Peter's chin up to look at him.

 

"Yes, I want to do it."

 

[Name] reached down and pulled Peter up by his arm, smashing his lips against his. [Name] kicked off his shorts and boxers and began walking them toward the bed, lightly pushing Peter down. Peter reached out and gripped the collar of [Names] shirt, pulling him down with his lips, never breaking contact.

 

[Name] broke the kiss, placed a soft kiss on Peter's cheek, and started making his way towards his neck. Kissing down his jawline before softly biting his neck.

 

"Fuck~" Peter moaned out.

 

[Name] began sucking on the flesh and biting at it before licking over the bite. The warmth of [Names] tongue made Peter blush even more, making his already pink skin turn a deep scarlet. [Name's] hands traveled down Peter's body, slipping them up his shirt and feeling him up.

 

[Name] reaches out from under Peter's shirt and takes his cock in his hand, gently tugging at it. Peter let out a soft whimper at the feeling of [name's] warm hand.

 

"Is this okay?" [Name] says speeding up the pace.

 

Peter bites down on his bottom lip and nods his head.

With his other hand, [Name] begins to pull Peter's shirt up and begins placing soft kisses on his torso, making his way toward Peter's cock. Peter pulled his shirt off, making [Name] let go of his cock.

 

[Name] delicately kissed Peter's tip, spat in his hand, and began jerking him off once more. The sound of wet noses and whimpers filled the room.

 

"Does that feel good, Peter?"

 

"Mhm-ahh~ Fuck~!" Was all he could whine out as [Name] ran his thumb over his tip in a particularly hard motion.

 

[Name] let's go of Peter's cock and steadied himself on his knees, grabs the bottom of his shirt and pulls it off.

 

"Let me know if it hurts or if I'm going to be rough, okay?"

 

"Okay." 

 

[Name] placed Peter's legs on his shoulders and steadied himself on the mattress before lining himself up with Peter's hole. Peter reached out and felt around on his boyfriend's bedside table until he felt a familiar wrapping.

 

"Here."

 

Peter handed him a condom. [Name] opened it and slid it over his dick and pushed into Peter slowly, wanting him to adjust to his size before moving.

 

Peter gripped the sheets and twisted them in his hands as he let out a soft moan.

 

"F-fuck~" 

 

[Name] reached out and grabbed Peter by the waist and pulled him down on his cock. [Name] bottoming inside of Peter as he looked down at him to see his arm covering his face, his face somehow even pinker.

 

"Does this feel okay?"

 

"Mhm."

 

"Can you uncover your face? I want to see all the pretty little faces you make, Pete."

 

Peter's cock twitched at this, and a drip of precum made its way down his cock. Peter did as he was told, took his arm off, and looked up at the curly-haired boy.

 

"I'm going to start moving, okay? Let me know if it's too much or if you want to stop. I won't be mad, I promise!"

 

"Okay, I will."

 

[Name] began to roll his hips in and out of the pale boy, starting off with a slow pace to ensure he didn't hurt him. [Name] decided to test the limits and pulled out of Peter, making him let out a breathy gasp at the loss of friction before slamming back into him and producing another loud moan from him.

 

His face contorted into a mixture of pleasure and pain as his hands shot out and grabbed at [Names] shoulders as he rocked his hips into Peter.

 

"Aghh~ C- Can you go a little  harder?'

 

[Name] listened to his question and sped up the pace, filling the room with the sound of a headboard banging and the sound of skin against skin. [Names] hands roamed down Peter's thighs until they reached his cock, took it in his hand, and began once again jerking him off at an irritatingly slow pace.

 

[Name] placed his other hand on the back of Peter's head and leaned in their lips inches apart. [Names] thrust slowed for a second before stopping all together.

 

"Why did you stop?" Peter said, his voice barely above a whisper.

 

[Name] closed the gap between them. Peter kissed back almost instantly and placed his hand on the back of [Names] head, tangling his fingers in his curls. [Name] began to thrust into him slowly and more gentle as the kiss deepened.

 

[Name] grabbed Peter's hands and placed them above his head, holding them in place and breaking the kiss in the process. His thrust quickened, and once again, the sound of skin against skin filled the room.

 

"Fu-fuck~ ugh!" [Name] moaned out.

 

His thurst became even harder as he chased his high. Peter could feel tears starting to fall from his eyes, not from pain but from pleasure. It was all too much. His ccok standing up straight twitched and shot ropes of cum all over his abdomen, painting that area of his body glossy white.

 

"I'm not too far behind," [Name] grunted out.

 

His thrust became sloppy, losing the rhythm as he tightened his grip on Peter's wrist.

 

"F-fuuck~"! 

 

He let go of Peter's wrist, pulled out of him, and made his way to the floor. Peter got the idea quickly and knelt before sticking his tongue out as [Name] jerked himself off.

After one or two strokes, he came, shooting his load over Peter's face. Blotches of white landed on his lashes, chin, nose, forehead, tongue, and hair.

 

Peter swallowed the cum that had landed in his mouth and smiled looking up at [name] innocently.

"Jesus Christ, Peter, you're so pretty."

[donnabenevientosimpingzone]

Hey! Now that you’re back I wanted to ask about Resident Lover? I remember you were on the team- but then the game came out and your name wasn’t on the dev list... what happened?

I can’t escape this question can I- and for those of you who messaged me, I did delete them in hopes of avoiding this- but I don’t want rumours to spread so lemme be transparent.

Also pls read this for how I’m handling coming back to this blog: https://www.tumblr.com/donnabenevientosimpingzone/741337986608873472/complex-feelings-and-absolute-pandemonium-about-my

No, I wasn’t kicked off the team, nor was I invited back when I left- and they made the right choice doing that. I was not mentally stable. I didn’t take the project seriously, I had jealousy issues, and didn’t take criticism well- I self destructed badly- blew up and burned that bridge to ashes, not to mention what sorta hurt I caused the team.

It did hurt a lot when I saw the game release. I was so upset, and spent so many weeks thinking about “what if I didn’t fuck up”. But there are no “what ifs” in history, we are meant to go through what we do in order to become the best versions of ourselves. The whole ordeal was part of the last push I needed to finally seek professional help. And the fact it still hurts whenever I see it around means I still care and carry guilt about everything that happened.

I’m practicing exposure therapy to try and heal that gaping wound. RE8 has turned my life completely on its head and I don’t want to abandon it- the best outcome will be the day I can download and play the game and find it within myself to genuinely love it with no more wounds to lick- but for now I’m content with seeing it float around every once in a while on my dash.

Out of respect- I hope none of you will pester the devs about this either. They did something amazing, and I’m so proud of what they’ve accomplished. Out of all of them I really miss MJ. They were the best, most hilarious friend- I always thought they were super attractive- and the whole reason the game was possible. Show them some love- idk message them “you’re cool!” for me or something. Anon ask if you have to. Don’t tell them I’m the one who sent you- I think it’ll be funny to just have a whole buncha people messaging them outta nowhere bahaha

And with that I hope this clears it up and stops people from messaging anymore about it. It’s still a sensitive wound I’m working to heal and I’d like to do it at my own pace<3 I don’t regret the experience, I’m in such a better place now because of it. I would love to make peace with my past self and accept the pain as a part of growing.

Until then enjoy me going back to my usual shenanigans before all the shit hit the fan. I’m very excited to draw more Spider Donna and Beneviento Sisters, I hope y’all enjoy it too<3

[beardedmrbean]

Zoomer Huey, I tend to see people saying why Gen z don’t have sex much.

Holy

Fucking

Shits

These journalists surprisedly have WORSE self awareness than there boomer relatives

Here a hint https://x.com/swannmarcus89/status/1762582001507323991?s=46

And gender dynamics are…nuked in the fields they are surveying. Women and girls are told that all men are predators and misandry is left unchecked

Also, why Hollywood act surprised about the sex abuse?

We all heard about the casting coach, and how suspiciously people from working class backgrounds like Micheal Jackson (yes his dad had his music connections. But essentially mj was a slave and was arguably was the first black child star unless I’m missing someone) and Walt Disney (though not as bad) are painted as monsters while the actual monsters are protected for decades

I mean look at Judy Garland, she was a sweet person and she did help the LBGT in Hollywood and supported the civil rights movement

But her “crazy” behavior makes more sense because she was sexually abused at a extremely young age

And she not the only one, Shirley Temple, the boy who played at the first LA Dennis the Manis

Oh and the Peter Pan actor (a lot of people leave out the part where ALL of Hollywood basically says he can choke and die because he was “too” Disney)

But sorry about the Gen stuff, but the false rape accusations, maybe if you guys didn’t view men (especially white ones) the same way Nazis viewed the Jews while saying all the working class men were Weinstein.

My Gen would have more sex

Entertainment industry has been like that since the beginning of forever, probably less so when women weren't allowed to participate but still a thing I'm sure.

As for Judy Garland it was nice to see people come out swinging in her defense when someone tried to start shit over well

She was not in control of her carer, saying no was not an option for her with this, but dumbasses that can only think in terms of today's standards never think about that.

Jay North (Dennis the Menace) did ok, so did Shirley Temple, plenty of others not so much, more recently we can look at Drew Barrymore and RDJ who both had fairly public meltdowns and problems.

Drew was ruined since her first film was ET and Spielberg takes care of the kids on set, going beyond the legal requirements.

Bobby Driscol was the Peter Pan VA top of his Wiki article.

Robert "Bobby" Cletus Driscoll (March 3, 1937 – c. March 30, 1968) was an American actor who performed on film and television from 1943 to 1960. He starred in some of the Walt Disney Studios' best-known live-action pictures of that period: Song of the South (1946), So Dear to My Heart (1949), and Treasure Island (1950), as well as RKO's The Window (1949). He served as the animation model and provided the voice for the title role in Peter Pan (1953). He received an Academy Juvenile Award for outstanding performances in So Dear to My Heart and The Window.

He just fell into the child actor pit, where he wasn't "cute" anymore couldn't get gigs and couldn't adjust to not being in the spotlight, the way he went and nobody knowing is awful to think about still.

Jackie Coogan, on the other hand was a different story.

His parents sucked and as a result there's a series of laws named after him California's Coogan Law all about protecting the earnings of child actors from their parents. % goes into a trust iirc.

He ended up OK in the end though

The false accusation thing, #me too hurt women because #believe women was taken advantage of to such a degree that even this coming out to light

has still probably not cleared up for the trooper, and men are opting to not mentor women because of not wanting to risk a false accusation, everyone screams about how rare they are, to which I say so what, why should they assume the risk even if it's minor

Former VP Mike Pence came out and said he won't be alone with a woman that's not his wife in order to ensure that there is no possibility of someone making a claim of impropriety.

And he got this response

Why is anyone going to put their neck on the line when something like what he said is going to get this kind of response.

Maybe instead of crying about how rare false accusations are they should focus on shaming the people making them and coming up with solutions to keep them from happening.

You know instead of blaming the victims of the false accusations.

All this and so much more going on that isn't in this ask goes to the I don't blame people for not having as much sex, it's actually kinda nice too, fewer std's this way.

I went on a couple tangents, hope that's ok

[lindszeppelin]

Heyyyyy Linds! How’s my girl? Long time, no ask!

I’ve been a bit disconnected from the fandom space recently — but I decided to pop in and share a few thoughts.

It’s so incredibly obvi that K is in the rear view. I so wish we would get that official announcement soon. However, it’s also incredibly obvi that this sick family is going to delay it as long as possible, no matter who gets hurt. Even their own daughter who would be SO much happier cut loose from this mess.

I don’t care about her tho. I care about our dear, sweet, hardworking Austin. I am so looking forward to the day when he can breathe easy and enjoy his freedom.

To that end, I see there remains some question about how people might perceive him after the announcement. No doubt there will be folks who turn on him. But, honestly, who cares? They’re not worth paying much attention to. They would have turned on him at some point anyway. These are the same immature minds that expect famous people to be their saviors or to be without human characteristics. They’re just people. If you need your movie stars to be perfect, then stick to watching them on screen. Don’t observe their personal lives.

I actually believe the majority of the public will (a) not even care or (b) support Austin. Because it’s incredibly obvi how kind and thoughtful he is — plus with the gross way the Gerbers have behaved in this, I don’t think they’ll actually succeed in pushing the “Austin did their baby wrong” narrative.

Austin isn’t at fault here. K and the Gerbers have been trying to leech of Austin’s rise to make their pathetic nepo baby seem relevant. Even K is miserable. The Gerbers don’t give a flying fuck about their own kid and it shows. This was a PRship that needed to die a long time ago.

It’s incredibly obvi.

So now we just wait to let the whole mess play itself out. Of course we want that to happen sooner than later, but given how vile and vindictive Cindy and the rest have proven to be, Austin must feel it requires some continued delicacy and management to make the official break.

His real fans like me just want him to be happy and support whatever choices he makes in order to have that!

💜✨🌈

Hi MJ!

We have been seeing for a while now with all this shit Kaia has been getting up to that she's not innocent in this, and her family pressuring Austin to marry their 23 year old daughter looks stupid af to the general public. This is not 1923 where she'd be considered a spinster for crying out loud. So Austin is looking good for the public perception on this one. His freedom and happiness is what matters the most. The noise of what everyone else says or think does not matter.

[dukeofdelirium]

Dude, it feels like being in the flippin’ trenches being in the MJ fandom. From this account on this app that was taking over the MJ Tag and spreading so much misinformation to the point where I had to block her (She was using quotes from Shmuley, hinting that he could have been a predator, and he turned on Michael a few years ago I believe) to MJGuilters on TikTok making Pedo jokes at any positive Michael videos. Of course, the MJFam makes them wish they never said anything, being bombarded with truth and facts, but it never seems to be enough. Yes, there will be people who are just not educated and they take in what you tell them, but some others just won’t and call you names about be a “Pedo Lover” and whatnot. I do hope that one day, everyone will see and know that truth, but with streaming services allegedly saying that “the world isn’t ready for a positive Michael Jackson film” (according to one of MJ’s past bodyguards who took part in a documentary) I don’t think we’ll see that day. It hurts sometimes and when it does, I just feel like giving up and leaving it so I don’t have to hear any negative comments or jokes, and that’s the dark side of being a moonwalker/soldier of love. Defending him can be exhausting when it’s falling on deaf ears, but I know it’s our job to be here fighting for him when he’s not here himself.

Bestie I totally get how you feel. We are in the trenches day and night lol. I have a few thousand followers on here and a little over a year ago I was a well known MJ blogger and it got so bad that I was getting over 100 messages a day from people.

Like ppl would message either asking for evidence, asking me to explain a part of a legal case, some fan inquiries and whatnot but I was ALSO getting dozens of hate messages and harassment messages. My mutuals who are MJ fans can attest to it bc they witnessed how bad it was getting lol.

There was this one guilter troll in my inbox who would send like 50 or so anons DAILY for MONTHS straight harassing me about his cases. Of course, I fought back and we dished it out back and forth bc ain’t no way am I letting some dumb bitch slander my man lmao but the shit they would say was NUTS

Then my dad passed away so I had to step back from it bc I just couldn’t mentally handle it at the time. But idgaf I’m back lol and I’ll never stfu about defending MJ bc he’s innocent and idc what ANYONE says lol I will rip someone’s face off 😭 I had a whole reputation on here of being legit vicious 😭😭😭😭 my MJ followers would just send me posts to respond to cuz they knew I could shut a bitch up faster than them, it was so funny 🤣 ppl were fuckin scared of me fr cuz I’d bust into their shit and hit ‘em with every possible document they would mention proving them wrong so eventually they stopped messin w me cuz they were legit scared of my crazy ass

It can be exhausting tho trust me I totally get it. If you have to step away none of us will judge you. We have each other’s back and that’s why it’s important to have friends to talk to in this community. Lord knows my mjfam on here got me through some difficult times and I love all my MJ friends sm 💛

Just know that you aren’t alone in it and if no one else has you I GOT YOUUUUU and no matter what any stupid bitch says, MJ is INNOCENT and we have the proof on our side

[ctrsara]

Okay, this is technically a reblog, but since I'm going to (very personally) disagree with a lot of these, I thought it was kind of rude to actually reblog... Everyone is so welcome to their opinion about what they'd like to see coming up!

Things i demand wish to see from MCU Spiderman moving forward:

—Mature and confident Peter who is able to take charge of any situation as an experienced hero

Yes, except no. He's still 17 at the end of NWH. Yes, he's way overpowered and has been through a ton of crap and lost so much, but he's still a kid. An adolescent. An immature human. If he's 25? Sure. I'm all over confident, adult Peter. But if it's right after, and he's like 18/19? Still a kid, and he needs support and mentoring. Even if he's 25, he needs support.

—Spiderman swinging all over NY🕸🕸🕸🕸🕸

Yes, please. New York is his place. I want to see him in New York, but I’d also like to see the citizens of New York step up for him. There was so much heart in Spider-Man 2 when the New Yorkers protected and helped Peter. 

—Fun and complex fight scenes!!!!!!! Peter webbing ppl up during fights, hand to hand combat, using the environment for attacks.

Yeah, this is always great! This is what we’re here for! (Well, that and all the fun relationships the MCU has tried really hard to just delete, but…)

—Step UP the cinematography. Give MCU SM his own distinct visual style like Raimi and Webb did b4

Eh, I don’t have a strong opinion on this. I thought the cinematography in NWH was good. But that’s also not the main thing I’m here for.

—Spiderman helping ppl with small things. Interacting with them and really showing why the ppl of NY love him

See above. Yes, more of this. :)

—Peter working for JJJ? (PLEASE I NEED IT)

I don’t care about this either, but it could be good. I’m just not excited to see one more person treat Peter Parker like trash after all he’s been through, which is my hesitation. (But I get the appeal)

—Peter actually struggle after the events of NWH (emotionally/financially)

I’m good, thanks! Peter has already struggled a LOT and I only want to see this if there is some resolution/help with those things. I’m not here for Hurt/No Comfort, guys.

—Peter trying to form new relationships after MJ and Ned

Maybe. But I’d like him to rediscover his relationship with them more. New relationships, while interesting, cannot replace people who have known and loved you for years. They just can’t.

—Spiderman trash talking his villains

Of course! One of my favorite things is the fun little mini film on Far From Home when he’s taking down the Manfredi family. Is that who they were? I don't feel like looking it up right now.

—🖤BLACK CAT🖤

I mean, sure? I don’t really care about her, but I believe I could be convinced to care about here, if we get to see her human side, and if she shows she has good reasons for whatever she’s doing. I mean, I even cared about Adrian Toomes. Sure, he was a bit of a psychopath, but he was doing it because he loved his family and wanted to provide for them.

—DO NOT CHANGE THE SUIT!!!!!!!!!!! The one he got at the end of NWH is literally perfect. DO NOT CHANGE IT!!!

Buzzer sound. Nope. The thought of him swinging around in that (admittedly cool, very proud of his ingenuity) spandex suit, with even less protection than his original get-up gives me chills, and I want some kind of tech suit back pronto.

—More grounded stories. I love a good cosmic/multiverse story but SM is better when he's on the ground dealing relatively normal shit, petty crime, gangs, evil scientists etc

YES. I want to see the Avengers in “our” world. The space stuff just never hits the same. Or the inner space stuff. (Looking at you, Quantumania. While I enjoyed-ish the movie, my favorite part was at the beginning where Scott was just walking around being kind of normal…) And Spider-man belongs in New York.

—Daredevil team up (spiderman 4?👀)

Yeah, I’d watch that. 

—DEADPOOL DEADPOOL DEADPOOL DEADPOOL DEADPOOL

I’m just not a fan! Especially if it would drive the content-meter up to R-ratings and whatnot.

—An entire movie dedicated to the Venom storyline

Mmm. See, I think this wouldn’t hit the same. The MCU has deleted all the people from Peter’s life who would even care if this happened to him, so it’s not going to have as much impact. They’d have to fix that before I’d care.

What I'd like to see? Really?

There are all sorts of stories that would be interesting, but I don't want a brand new "reset" Spider-man. I want to see him dealing with what happened in NWH, but finding ways to make it better, build a new team, get the support he needs and deserves while they fight against some bigger issue. Kingpin would be just fine.

I'd love to see Peter joining up with Kate, Yelena, Cassie, and Kamala. I'd love to see Bucky and Sam, or Clint (and Clint's kids!!!) becoming part of his life and helping continue to mentor him. Captain Marvel, Rhodey, ANYONE. Help this hero out while he finds his footing again after so much loss and trauma.

Happy and Pepper. Morgan. Anyone, seriously. And I'd love to see Peter get some counseling that is actually helpful.

You know, all the basic stuff that a 40-year-old mom wants to see happen to the souped up teenager who's lost everyone.

Dangerous & History, he was finally able to produce his own music in the way he wanted to.

Don’t get me wrong I obv love the others like Thriller and Bad (Bad had some of my very first favourite MJ songs and will always hold a special place in my heart).

But Michael was more free, musically, after parting ways with Quincy.

The Dangerous album has to be my #1 favourite, the songs are incredible, the album cover is beautiful, and the story of how the intricate cover art was conceived and created is also very interesting, along with what each image/piece represents on the cover.

Dangerous album is loved by many but it also feels like it’s a little bit underrated. So much work went into that album, and learning as much as I did about the album truthfully makes me love it so much more. Any fan would be able to recognize and appreciate how special it was for him to finally be able to produce this first album on his own.

History & Invincible are also great and highly under-appreciated (especially Invincible) but we all know he’d already been quite worn down by that time and everything he’d been through held him back creatively.

Invincible feels a lot deeper to me. I’m still just getting to really listen to it, (cause you just know it’s gonna have ya girl in her feelings) but it’s still a gem, even if a slightly hidden one. (Don’t even get me STARTED on 2000 Watts).

ANYWAY these are Flora’s rambling thoughts. I didn’t mean for it to be a wall of text but this is how it turned out.

Enjoy lol

On today’s episode of The Flora Files..

Haha I love this 👏🏼

Bad, Off The Wall & Thriller are just so nostalgic for me. I feel in my heart Michael was happier then, but when got more control over his music it was magic.

When I listen to the later albums I love them and I love what he wrote about. He took a stand in the most incredible ways. It just hurts me to think about what they put him through. What he had to fight against. He deserved better.

I get so upset because they put him through so much. They still do. I’ll never understand how people can be so evil..

Dangerous & History you can just feel this added layer of Michael. He really put his soul into it.

Don’t get me started on Invincible! He deserved so much more appreciation for it. It’s such a beautiful album. He never misses. Everything is so well thought out. A true musical genius. 🫶🏻

for the writers ask game!

5. What's a tag you never want to use for your works even when it applies?

32. Do you have a word/expression that you always use in your writing?

and 33. Give your writing a compliment.

Do you remember when you asked me this? Me either. Let’s all pretend no time has passed and I haven’t spent the last (months) going “oooh I have an ask…oh shit, oh yeah I gotta answer that, those are great Qs”. Thank you for asking <3

5. Oooh. I never want to use hurt/no comfort because I never want to write it. I’m too much of a sad B in general, I don’t need it in fic too 😅

Ok but, a tag that would apply that I wouldn’t want to use? Hmmm. I’m quite anti spoiling my works too much, so it might be quite story-specific. Like if a character dies and I know I’ll bring that back, I’m not sure I’d tag temporary character death?

32. Idk about a word or phrase but I have a sentence structure I always use and now I’ve spotted it in so conscious of it! I always follow a past tense verb with a present tense verb. Literally the opening line of one of my fics: “Peter flitted back and forth, straightening paper napkins and opening and closing cupboards”.

OK NO I realise a word / sound I always use: “argh” and also “ugh”. Shout out to @noxnthea for some excellent iterations of those in the pod of Waiting For Something More!

33. Hmmmm *eyes you suspiciously* - “chairing” myself, huh?

I think I’m pretty good at writing funny and sharp characters. I’m also really proud of the way that I share that across male and female characters - big fan of my Peter, MJ, and Steph in particular. I’m writing Jason at the moment and my style is fitting him so well. I like that I just try to become my characters for a bit - I think that authenticity comes across in the way they read.

That’s loads of compliments! Yay me.

VNC non-animated manga latest chapter 58 spoilers

.

* my personal, negative vent

as the continuation of my previous vent against some fan reactions: “Noe is terrible because he cares about Tarte Tatin more than Domi”.

* but I ended up talking about Jeanne a lot lol

(more under the cut)

.

* I’m sorry I might be overreacting to some very small minority in the fandom, and also sorry I couldn’t write things nicely and shorter in general.

* I myself sincerely hope this would be my last petty complaints in regards to this (Noe/Domi) matter, for real OTL

.

Ch 55(.5): *shows Noe/Vani (the main protagonists) reconciliation in detail*

Ch 56-57: *shows Noe/Vani conversation, including Tarte Tatin*

Some people about ch 56-57: Noe himself witnessed his childhood friend Domi jumping to die, and yet now he’s smiling at Tarte Tatin, not actively trying to go talk to Domi right away! Is Vani / Tarte Tatin thaaaaat important? Besides, why does Noe not demand an apology from Vani for insulting suicidal Domi?? What a biased selfish jerk, he doesn’t really love her!! Poor Domi deserves better!!!

Jeanne in ch 56-57: *herself witnessed her love interest Vani getting badly injured by Noe, and yet now she’s talking to Domi forever, not taking care of the physically wounded weak human patient Vani*

Jeanne in ch 58: *smiles at Domi and/or Vani and just leaves right away, not actively trying to go talk to Vani, not demanding an explanation or apology from Noe for hurting her beloved Vani*

Me: Ummm ~~according to their logic uwu~~, I guess now Jeanne is a biased selfish jerk who cares about Domi more than her intense love Vani? Is Domi thaaaaat important?? Jeanne is so terrible, she doesn’t really love him!! Poor Vani deserves better??? Can I say these now--

The SAME people about ch 58: Wow, why does MJ-sensei hate Jeanne so much? Why no long romantic Vani/Jeanne reunion scene?? Why not showing Domi/Jeanne conversation in detail??? Terrible writing choices! I’m sorry Jeanne, the author hates you T^T Jeanne did nothing wrong, I love you no matter how badly (mis)treated by the author!!

Me: So...it’s just that, they love Jeanne and Domi more than Noe and Vani (which is not wrong itself, but), and they simply decided to fully blame and demonize Noe at first (and only him, somehow lol) for the lack(?) of Domi and Jeanne? idk lol ://

.

Them, possibly: M-Maybe Jeanne already talked to Vani before the Noe/Vani roof scene! Unlike Noe!!

Me: In ch 58, when Domi finally came out of the room, Vani immediately became a blushing mess and tried to run away from Jeanne (who wasn’t actually there XD), remembering some sweet moments of her. No offence but...I believe SUCH dramatic reactions from him highly imply that Vani/Jeanne have never properly talked yet since Vani/Noe got attacked by Shapeless One, oops ^^;;; Vani is feeling awkward and acting awkward (similar to that day when he asked Roland/Olivier for some love advice) because...he still doesn’t really know how to be around Jeanne...because they haven’t seriously interacted yet, much less two of them...I think?

Besides,

to be petty, not pretty lol,

it seems they don’t believe Noe worried about Domi even in his mind off-screen because there was no(?) such explicit panel of Noe screaming, crying, throwing up for Domi after he woke up at the hotel. Then, ~~similarly~~, no reason to blindly believe Jeanne in fact earnestly took care of Vani, much less for hours, before Domi/Jeanne secret conversation started, either lol :/ Come to think of it...there was no panel of Jeanne screaming, crying, throwing up for severely injured Vani at the hotel, so it must be that she doesn’t worry about his wounds anymore now, even if Vani is supposed to be her important person uwu!! ://

.

Noe: *gets distracted by Tarte Tatin made by Vani, staying near Domi’s location*

Them: How dare he allows himself to get excited, when Domi is suicidal right there. He should’ve only think about Domi now, no one else, nothing else! No more stupid Tarte Tatin!!! He loves Vani, sure, but it shows he totally forgot about Domi and doesn’t take her seriously. How insensitive he is, ugh.

Noe: *gets distracted by JJ/Chloe guided by Dante, getting far away from Domi’s location*

Them: JJ!!! Chloe!!! Wait, why must JJ/Chloe leave now??? They should’ve stayed longer! They should’ve seen Jeanne, too!! Why does MJ-sensei not allow them to meet now?? Poor Jeanne, poor Chloe... We need more of JJ/Chloe!!! We need more of Dante as well!!! There’re still not enough of them!!! Did Chloe meet some other Archiviste person before? It’s a shame JJ/Chloe already left, and Noe missed them ;_; And...oh well, Noe got distracted by cursed Tarte Tatin again, ew. God forbid Tarte Tatin,.plz...

Sorry to repeat, but this will never not funny to me lol I guess this contradiction happened because they love JJ/Chloe/Dante/Jeanne more than Domi/Noe/Vani? idk uwu ://

.

*sighs*

I don’t necessarily mind seeing people complain about MJ-sensei’s writings or her characters in various ways. But it still depends, within limits.

In this case, I thought Noe was getting falsely accused too much in malice (before ch 58). Now ch 58 is out, and apparently the same people wouldn’t apply their ~~strict~~ standard(s) to Jeanne at all, rather quickly blaming that MJ-sensei must’ve abandoned(??) Jeanne... It’s not that I can’t understand character W fans would always crave for character W related canon contents, but...asdfghjkl

I suppose they forgot that the entire Amusement Park arc was never Jeanne-centric in the first place, and that MJ-sensei still gave Jeanne the MVP hero role who directly and indirectly saved everyone from the hopeless mess...

Not to mention Jeanne already has gotten a LOT of screentime and backstories so far, maybe even the most, except the main protagonists Vani/Noe. Domi’s backstories got revealed firstly thanks to Noe remembering his past in the early Bal Masque arc, and just recently in the Amusement Park arc.

Jeanne has appeared in almost every arc, compared to Luca, Ruthven, Loki, Dante, Amelia, Murr, and so on ^^;;; Even between the Jeanne/Chloe/JJ-centric Gevaudan arc and the Domi/Misha-centric Amusement Park arc, Jeanne still got her long, solid screentime (in regards to her Vani love).

Luca appeared very early, together with Jeanne, but he’s still forever waiting for his own (long) screentime XD In addition, the new arc started with “Archiviste” and “Chasseur”, sure, but I believe Luca’s ceremony is coming soon, too. More Luca inevitably means more Jeanne as well...so, no, Jeanne won’t be ignored! Also, the royal knight Domi would definitely appear, too!

I get that the hiatus was painfully long and recent chapters had been so short, but please don’t be too pessimistic XD

.

At first, I didn’t mean to write about Jeanne this much at all tbh when this post was originally about the Noe/Domi matter, but it happened XD Not that I’m complaining, it was surprisingly a good chance for me to think about her in detail, kinda :P

I was happy to see Noe hugging Domi tight and both being adorable cute in ch 58 ;w; The panels deserved to be much bigger ;v; It’s so beautiful that I could watch it for 5 hours uwu [insert the meme] XD

However, I was also sad and annoyed to unconsciously think “Now those people will finally stop accusing Noe and be quiet, hopefully” and feel “relieved” :((( *sighs* I really hope my fun and my Noe/Domi wouldn’t get ruined next time...OTL

I sincerely wouldn’t have minded seeing a lot of Noe/Domi/Jeanne/Vani scenes and conversations in detail, as the fandom wanted. But MJ-sensei didn’t show them so much, and I know many people don’t like it (and I don’t particularly blame them ^^;).

I personally don’t have a problem with the lack(?) of their intimate moments, maybe because my top fear had always been “Domi having to leave super quickly asap (again), like a gag” and the fandom exploding in anger XD Even other than this, I just didn’t expect to see “many” interactions of them...because MJ-sensei didn’t make such scenes before the long hiatus and she already published volume 10 at that time, wrapping up the Amusement Park arc “cleanly” that way.

I mean, I personally feel if MJ-sensei genuinely intended to put them there, she would’ve already included them within volume 10...but she didn’t. Vol 10 ends with chapter 56 (except the bonus pages), and the next vol 11 will start from ch 57. Ch 57 has JJ/Noe conversation about Archiviste AND the new Archiviste girl first appearance. So I suppose MJ-sensei really really wanted to make sure vol 11 clearly starts with Archiviste topic, more than anything else.

In any case, I guess I was quite lucky to have had low expectations on detailed “afterwards” scenes of the four haha Of course, I’d gladly enjoy them if MJ-sensei decides to show them at some point in the future :D

PS.

Will we...get to see Noe actually eating Vani’s Tarte Tatin on-screen...? I mean...he didn’t eat any of it yet, cuz Domi was out and Noe immediately stopped caring about Tarte Tatin, unlike those accusations lol Somehow, I...don’t have “high” hopes on this, either, even if I ship Noe/Vani, ooops...XDDD If we don’t get the scene for real, then I sure hope those people (who accused Noe) would apologize to Noe and Noe/Vani shippers in some form (of Tarte Tatin? XDD) lol uwu :’)))))

.

Thank you for reading my long, incoherent ramblings and personal opinions!

[ravagedarkness]

Spider-Man: Home Rebuilt, Chapter 2: Boulevard of Broken Dreams

We were on the subway headed to Time Square. For a good chunk of the ride, I was listening to MJ and Ned talk about different things at school. For me, it was a bit weird. I knew or understood what they were talking about, and I wanted to chime in, but I just kept quiet. I wasn’t ready to open up that can of worms. I didn’t know if I ever will be ready for that. But even though I couldn’t partake in the conversation, I was happy to watch them just talk because I missed being around them. I allowed myself to smile a bit. That smile then faded as memories of the events leading up to the spell flooded my mind.

I started to regret coming along with them. I been down this road before, and I just knew that they were going to get hurt again. I turned my head and stared out of the window. I tried to come up with an excuse to get off at the next stop and…

“So, Peter,” MJ said. I turned my head towards her and Ned. “Tell us about yourself.”

And just like that, I abandoned all hope of making the quickest exit possible.

“What do you want to know?” I asked.

“Well, anything, really,” Ned said. “All we know is that you come to Peter Pan at the same time and order the same thing – a coffee and some kind of pastry, you’re taking GED classes, and that you’re some low key MacGyver. We got no idea where you’re from, what you do for a living, and or even what your favorite movie is.”

“I wouldn’t call myself MacGyver.” I smirked. “…Queens, freelance photographer, and Star Wars.”

At that, Ned smiled. “Nice, another Star Wars fan!”

“You’re a photographer?” MJ said, tilting her head. “How come you never told us?”

“It’s something I picked up only a couple of weeks ago. I did it as a hobby at first.” I left out the part where I did it to help me relieve my stress and keep my mind off of the two of them. “Then this couple in my building eloped and wanted someone to take pictures of their special day. I got enough money to pay half my rent and got treated to a Chopped Cheese for compensation. So, I’ve taken gigs here and there.”

“So how come you don’t work for a newspaper or some news site?” She then leaned forward. “And how come I never see you with a camera?”

“I only carry it on my free time or when I’m on a gig. And during the week, I don’t that much free time.”

“Well, hopefully you’ll make time,” Ned said with a smile. “…I don’t have that many people to talk to about Star Wars. MJ here isn’t really fan and Betty… she just humors me.”

“No one else at school likes Star Wars?”

“Not that I know of.” Ned sighed. “At least, not as much as I do. It’s such a shame that people just don’t understand art. So, maybe we can talk about it sometime. That is, if you’re not too busy heading off to study.”

“…I’ll think about it,” I said. I really wanted to say yes a million times over.

“I guess that’s all we can ask for,” MJ commented as she leaned back in her seat. “So what else you got for us?”

We spent the rest of the train ride telling each other about ourselves. It was only simple stuff from me, such as my love for Legos, though my collection got lost in a fire. I told them that I liked taking things apart and putting them back together. I semi-lied when I told them that, every now and again, I liked going to the top floor of skyscrapers to look out towards the city (I couldn’t say that I really went to the roof). I told them I was actually decent cook… whenever I could buy anything more than the microwaveable stuff.

“So… what about your family?” Ned asked. I looked at him. I opened my mouth to say something, but words didn’t come out. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. I still wasn’t over Aunt May’s death. And I didn’t really want to talk about it. I still couldn’t think about her for too long before I was on the verge of tears, and here, on this train, wasn’t the place for that. “Oh, shit, touchy subject?”

“A bit,” I said. I opened my eyes. “Sorry, I’m…”

“You have nothing to be sorry for,” MJ cut in gently. “I know what it’s like to have a bad family situation. So, you don’t have to talk about it with us, okay?” I smiled slightly and nodded.

“So… on a less depressing note,” Ned spoke up. “Do you think they have Junior Mints or gummy worms at the concession stand there?”

MJ gave Ned a look. “I’m sure they do, along with funnel cake and ice cream straight out of a unicorn’s ass.”

I laughed. “I heard that when The Winter’s Tale is being performed, they serve porridge straight from a bear.”

The all three of us laughed together, though MJ tried her best not to. “Wow Peter. You’re more of a dork than I thought.”

“Is that a bad thing?” I asked.

MJ gave me a coy look – that same look that I always found cute and made my face warm up. “I’m not sure yet,” she finally said.

Sometime later, we arrived at Time Square. After a short walk, we ended up at St. James Theatre, where Betty was waiting for us on the outside.

“Hey guys,” she greeted happily. She then looked at me. “Are you a friend of MJ and Ned?”

“Acquaintance, really,” I replied. I stuck my hand out. “I’m Peter Parker.”

“I’m Betty Brant.” She took my hand for a hearty shake. “Pleased to meet you.” She withdrew her hand.

“The pleasure is all mine, I assure you.”

“Yeah, Peter here is a regular at my job,” MJ explained as we all made our way to the box office. “He comes in, grabs coffee and a sweet, does a little bit of small talk, then dips. He’s a bit of a dull boy, so I decided to bring him along so he could experience a little thing called fun.”

“Do you hate Flash that much that you’re willing to bring a customer that you barely know?” Betty smiled. “I mean, I get it, but…”

“Well, true as that is, Peter here is a rather interesting guy,” Ned said.

“Oh? Do tell.”

After we got our tickets checked and we moved inside, Ned talked me up to Betty, who looked at me in surprise as we found our seats and sat down. From my left, it was Betty, Ned, MJ, and myself.

“So, Peter… do you have a job?” Betty asked.

“Nothing permanent or consistent,” I replied.

“Well, if you’re interested, the Daily Bugle – this place I’m interning at – is looking for photographers. I don’t know how good you are, but they’re kind of desperate.”

“Why?” I asked.

Betty went silent for a moment. “Well… let’s just say, some people find J. Jonah Jameson to be a bit… much.”

“What Betty is trying to say is that J. Jonah Jameson is a fake news peddling wacko who pushes the Daily Bugle to take any and every opportunity to slander and libel Spider-Man,” MJ translated.

“Yeah,” Ned added in agreement. “I’m surprised Spider-Man can still swing through the city with Jonah constantly on his – ”

“Be that as it may, it’s a job that pays well,” Betty interjected. “I don’t like that Jonah goes so hard on Spider-Man any more than you do – especially since Spider-Man saved my life and the life of my friends multiple times. But while what he’s doing is wrong, it’s not illegal, and Spider-Man wouldn’t be the first or last hero to go through that.”

“You all make some good points, I’d say,” a voice chimed in.

We all looked to our right to see two people make it down our row. One of them was a black guy with black hair that was in cornrows. He wore black jeans a red Miami Heat t-shirt underneath a black hoodie. He was a bit tall, probably about six feet. His apparent companion was a woman with brown hair that reached down to her shoulders. She had on black pants with a red trench coat over a white button up shirt, and brown knee high boots. Both of them didn’t look much older than us.

“Sorry,” the boy said as he sat down next to me, with the girl sitting next to him. “I couldn’t help but overhear – acoustics in this building is crazy.”

“Still doesn’t give you a reason to be nosy,” his companion said.

“It’s okay,” I said. I raised an eyebrow. “You think I should try and apply for the job, since you spoke up?”

“Like I said, you all make some good points. Jonah does rank very on a scale of 1 to douche. And personally, if I was Spider-Man, I’d break into the Daily Bugle just to backhand him while he’s live in 4K.”

“I like this guy,” MJ quipped. I smiled. I always appreciated it when a civilian had my back.

“That being said, if Spider-Man ain’t doing that, I think it is okay for you to at least consider the job.”

I went quiet for a bit. I then looked over at Betty. “I’ll think about it,” I told her. As she smiled, I looked over at the new guy. “Thanks, Mr…”

“Craig,” he said. “I’m Craig.” He then beckoned over to his friend. “And this is Kitty.” Kitty waved at us and smiled.

“Pleased to meet you, I’m Peter.”

“I’m Ned.”

“Michelle.”

“And Betty.”

“Pleased to meet you all,” Kitty replied.

Eventually, the show started. I hate to admit it, but I never heard the American Idiot album in its entirety before. I never even knew it was a concept album. However, as I saw the story unfold on stage before me, I had the desire to get the album for myself. I couldn’t sing along to most of the songs so far. But that was okay. I enjoyed listening to MJ sing – and that was something I missed. Eventually, there was a song that I could sing along to.

Boulevard of Broken Dreams.

I knew the lyrics to that song. Who didn’t? But as I sung it, it hit me different from the other times. All at once, I remembered those who were in my life before things went left. I used to have people to depend on. I used to have hope for a life that didn’t just revolve around being Spider-Man. I wanted to go to MIT and become an engineer. I wanted to get married and have children – preferably with MJ. I wanted to travel the world. I even thought about taking a young hero under my wing the same way Tony did for me. But all of that went out of the window, and I almost destroyed my friends’ dreams along with it.

I felt sad again.

This was a mistake. I shouldn’t have come with them. I didn’t deserve their friendship. I didn’t even deserve to be acquainted with them. The Boulevard of Broken Dreams is exactly where I belonged.

Once the show came to a stop for an intermission, I got up from my seat and made my way to the lobby, muttering a quick “excuse me” as I stepped past Craig and Kitty. Once I was in the lobby, I walked over to one of the walls, turned, and leaned back against it. I slid down until I was on my butt and bowed my head.

I breathed in and out slowly, trying to keep myself together and hold it all in, as I’ve done so many times before.

Don’t cry. Don’t cry. Don’t…

“Hey.”

I raised my head up to see MJ kneeling in front of me. I looked past her to see Betty, Ned, Craig, and Kitty some feet behind her.

“Hey, look at me,” MJ demanded. I looked back at her, seeing the look of concern on her face. “Are you okay?”

“Yeah,” I said. “…Mostly.” I took in a breath. “Just… one of the songs got to me. It reminded me of something that happened to me a while back. I’m sorry. It’s stupid, I know.”

In response, she shrugged. “I don’t think it is. Music can have the effect on people. I just wanted to make sure you weren’t having a full-on breakdown.”

“I’m not,” I assured her. “I just needed a little time to pull myself together.” I took in a deep breath. I moved to stand up. But MJ stood up before me before she brought her hand out for me to grab. I looked at it for a moment, then reached out and grabbed it. She pulled my hand, helping me stand. She looked at me for a moment. She then scoffed. “What’s up?”

“Nothing… it’s just…” She chuckled. “I just realized I’m taller than you.”

At that, I laughed. “Yeah, yeah you are.” My laugh faded, but the smile remained. “Thank you, MJ.”

“Hey, I can’t have my favorite customer going nuts on me.” She playfully punched me on my shoulder. “Your next pastry is on me – and I’m not taking no for an answer.” I nodded. She then turned and walked back to the others with me in tow. “Okay guys, he’s good.”

“Thank goodness,” Kitty said. “I didn’t want your double date to end on a bad note.”

MJ and I stopped in our tracks and stared at Kitty. “…What makes you think this is a double date?” I asked.

“Maybe because these two are holding hands,” Craig replied, pointing at Ned and Betty. Sure enough, when I looked at them, they were holding hands. I blinked a couple of times. I then smiled slyly. They quickly let go of each other.

“Oh, this… we were just…” Ned began.

“Keeping our hands warm,” Betty finished for him.

“Right, and…”

“Okay, please stop the cap,” Craig interjected as he shook his head and rolled his eyes. “You already got caught.”

“And half the school already knows you two are back together,” MJ added.

“Well, I guess there’s no point in hiding it,” Betty said.

“I’m happy for you two,” I said. “Come on, let’s head inside before…”

I trailed off. I felt a tingle go up my spine and buzz go off in my head. I stood there, my eyes going wide.

No, not now. Please not now.

“Pete, you okay?”

“Something… something is wrong,” I said.

And that’s when it happened.

A group of gunmen rushed through the door, with one aiming his shotgun towards the roof and letting a round. I quickly put myself between them and MJ.

“Hey, kid,” he said. “Don’t be a hero! You and your friends need to get down on the ground now!”

Aww RIP Leslie, he was so funny!

He does look like MJ lol. I don’t think I saw that one but I did see Tales from the Hood when I was younger. Those dolls gave me nightmares. Also the music video gave me nightmares as well lol.

I watched Grotesquerie for Niecy of course. It was pretty good. But I’m getting tired of Ryan Murphy he makes good shows at the beginning, but then gets tired of it then it gets sloppy. Like 911 was my show but now it’s meh. Then I saw he made a new show Dr.Odyssey. Which I watched and I’m like why? Which I dont mind because Joshua Jackson is kind of cute.

But then I read Ryan is making another show called The Beauty, after a comic book. SighBut why? Out of all the comic books in the world why this one? Also why Ashton Kutcher..

Let me start off by saying, I'm on a Schitt's Creek marathon and it's so worth it. I've been fangirling every time I see Patrick

lol at the dog giving a side eye.

Let me just say as someone who knows someone who dealt with Ashton personally, I'm so glad people are now realizing what kind of cheating disgraceful asshole he truly is.

I'm not going to watch The Beauty. Just Ashton alone is enough to make me turn away. I'll just wait for the trailer or gifs. Grotesquerie, I just heard about. I love Niecy but ugh Ryan...I finished Monsters. I need "The Hurt Man" to get nominated for that scene alone and I think I saw an article say a D.A. is looking into the case with new eyes so idk how that's gonna turn out.

Terrifier 2. What can I say....I'm a fan of Art the Clown. It's corny (some people might cringe, I'm use to the overuse of corn syrup at this point) and I'm invested. The 3rd movie comes out on the 11th and I'm seated.

Finished Bayonetta 3 and I might as well give a review of it

I’m giving it a tag but if you’re seeing this anyway and still don’t want to be spoiled, this will contain spoilers for Bayonetta 3.

First off, how’s that gameplay? Is it fun?

…I mean, it’s a fucking Platinum game, of course the gameplay’s fun. The combat’s the same as ever: Really fucking good. The new weapons are super unique and all have a really good, distinct feel. I’m a huge fan of the new traversal abilities with each weapon, especially the yo-yo.(oh, what a surprise, the Spider-Man fan likes the weapon that lets you web-swing and wall crawl). I will say I miss being able to combine weapons, but if that trade off is required, I’d say it’s worth it. The new demon slave mechanic took a bit to get used to, but once I got the hang of it, I really enjoyed it.

Jeanne’s side missions are alright. Really not too much to say about them, they’re really just mini games.

Viola’s gameplay is pretty fun, and I liked the feel of both her sword and hand to hand combat. Wish the parrying worked more like Metal Gear Rising, it being on the same button as the rush down is…awkward, especially when I’m so used to the trigger dodge being my main “button that makes me not get hurt”, so the muscle memory makes it even more awkward.

And on the other hand, the story.

Okay, here’s the part that’s been… not as positively received across the board. This story is mixed, imo. There are moments in this story where I definitely thought “oh this is fucking awesome, I love this”. But there were also a lot of moments that left me confused or even outright disappointed.

The alternate Bayonettas fucking rocked. I loved each one of them doing stupid bullshit, and I loved how unique they all seemed, even though they’re literally all the same person.

I was mixed on Viola as a character, tbh. I liked her personality(characters who swear casually are cool), and her design rocks. But on the other hand, I saw her twist coming from a mile away, and I’m…not exactly sure what they were going for with her, tonally. In one scene, I’m supposed to take her completely seriously, but in another, she does a looney toons “looking down and realizing they’re about to fall” gag(not making that up, that genuinely happens). I’m not saying you can’t have a character be in both funny scenes and serious scenes, but I feel like this is literally going to the extremes with both, and it’s a bit much. Cheshire fucking rocks, though. Love that guy. What a freak.

Luka’s new werewolf thing was interesting, but fuck, it is not fleshed out enough. It just comes outta nowhere. There’s a bit of stuff involving alternate Lukas being involved, but we only see one alternate version of him across the whole story. If you wanna make Luka more important, fuckin’ commit to it, don’t half ass it like this.

And…I guess we should address the elephant in the room. A lot of people have talked about the ending, specifically with how Luka’s involved. So I might as well give my thoughts on it. To start off, I don’t think it’s necessarily a problem that Bayonetta ends up with a guy, or even that that guy is Luka. Like…sure, it’s disappointing for everyone who wanted Bayo and Jeanne to get together, but Bayonetta basically outright says she wants to fuck Luka during the first game, and it’s not like Luka’s flirting was always one-sided around her. She teases him back too, this isn’t completely out of left field. For me, at least, the bigger issue is that it’s weird to see Bayonetta get into a serious relationship with any one character. I think of Bayonetta as a character who flirts around a lot, but never really commits to one person, so to go from that to “Bayonetta is destined to be with Luka and they are literally compared to Adam and Eve” out of nowhere is jarring and unnatural imo.

The best character I could use as a comparison is probably Mary Jane Watson(woah, SpicyHamSamson talking about Spider-Man stuff? No wayyyy). MJ, when she first shows up, is a total party girl who flirts with pretty much everyone, but never commits to any specific person for long. Now you may be thinking “Well, hang on a sec, Spicy. Mary Jane ended up falling in love with Peter Parker. That’s committing to a specific person.” And you’re right! But that’s because there’s a specific event that causes Mary Jane to change as a person. And that’s the death of Gwen Stacy, someone both she and Peter cared about very much. Gwen’s death forces MJ to mature, and rather than run away from issues, she makes the decision to stay by Peter’s side and comfort him, as a friend. The tragedy of losing someone they care about brings them closer, and ultimately that leads to them falling in love. And it’s extremely powerful.

Bayonetta doesn’t do that, she just goes from flirting around to “destined to be with Luka forever”. And that just doesn’t work, because it comes out of nowhere. There’s no build up to it, it just happens. And that’s not good storytelling. Hell, Bayonetta and Luka barely interact during this game until the last few levels. If you’re gonna push a romance with some characters, at least show that development. Still, could’ve been worse.

And on a larger scale, the ending of this game just…clashes with the rest of the series tonally. Like, I get it, it’s meant to be bittersweet. But that just doesn’t feel right here. If this has to be Cereza’s swan song, sure. It should be a little bittersweet. But this is Bayonetta we’re talking about. This woman should be going out with a BANG. An encore of her most spectacular display of stupid badass bullshit that’ll blow you out of your seats and into a wall. One of the first things we as an audience saw this character do was suplex 15 angels at the same time. In the second game, her first action scene had her ripping her dress when she KICKS A JET INTO THE SKY. Bayo’s last stand here was really disappointing, especially because they had some really cool shit with the Bayonettas from the other two games showing up and then fucking FUSING with main Bayonetta? Like, that shit was BADASS.

And then they barely do anything with it.

Come ON, you guys, I know you can do better than that! Have all three Bayonettas summon their own Madama Butterfly’s and have them play fuckin’ basketball with the final boss! Let me see Madama Butterfly DUNK a motherfucker.

This is Bayonetta’s farewell tour, and frankly, her final performance just doesn’t seem to hit the way it should. Which is disappointing, because they’re not really gonna get a chance to redo that.

With all that said, I’d say the story is still enjoyable. It’s not great, but with a few exceptions, you won’t be miserable sitting through it.

That being said, if you’re getting this game, it’s probably for the gameplay, and if you’re interested in that, I’d definitely recommend it.
