If I may posit, it's gotta be strange to see a version of you that made it to being 'old'. Obviously I'm biased towards my own interpretation of Comics Noir Pete, but he doesn't seem the sort to believe he'll last that long. - @canary-song

oh Definitely. Pete is gonna take one look at Noir and then immediately make fun of him to hide the fact that he's having an existential crisis. And now that I've got lots of spider-folk together I really should throw in some spider goddess weirdness... just a little bit. for funsies.

#a biscuit's rambles #asks #noir [handshake] hobie: convinced they're gonna die very soon + burning with anger so much they're just burning themselves out #this also raises interesting questions to Noir the older though #how would he react to seeing his younger self (angry and hopeless and desperate)?#how much has he grown as a person? how much emotional maturity?#he's obviously still a loose cannon who Will commit arson or straight up bite someone #but he's still come a long way #he can't say that things get better. he's lived during WW2. i don't remember rn if he canonically fought (i don't think so?) but he #still definitely lived through that time #he can say 'you'll survive' and 'i got a cat' and 'you'll learn to make things bearable' but it is Not getting better #he could get his own flat and become a private eye but he could never make the public see or permanently change things for the better #he can care for himself but he cannot care for anyone else and he can't keep innocent people safe. not really. not like he wants to #how do you explain to a teenager who's already lost more than everything that this is better? that this is worth living for?#that this is something worth taking care of himself for? that He is someone worth taking care of?#because how is Pete ever going to believe that? and besides since canon is bullshit. who knows if Pete won't turn out entirely differently?#now i'm having so many thoughts. it's almost 4am i can't have existential crises from two perspectives rn #i love that tho thanks for the ask :D #when multiverses meet au #wmm
