#not that mj’s played smart but at least she’s playing😭

[sophfandoms53]

All this celebration when 3 of these 5 ppl haven’t rlly played all season to be here,,,

[tomdutch]

"i wouldn’t say she has no traits, rather the very few that she does have are written so badly and are so stereotypical that it makes her boring" YES. YES TO ALL THAT.

plus the bits in ffh when she was spilling "cultural" facts made me cringe so much: they tried to make her sound witty and smart, but as a european, the only vibes i got from her were "person x goes abroad, learns something new, gets it wrong, but still tries to lecture other people about it" -> "boh" being the "anti-aloha" joke? they got the meaning of the word wrong. the italian words she says when talking about mysterio? the sentence is grammatically incorrect (can’t believe writers at m*rvel get paid and don’t even bother to check when they use a different language)

lliterally the most stereotypical american (sorry americans) thing ever imo, and she’s supposed to be unconventional and not-like-other-girls, but I guess the only spark of brilliance was used with liz, when they took the popular girl trope, but instead of making her a walking mean girl stereotype, they made her intelligent and nice and you could actually see and understand why she would be popular...

bring back my girl liz, you monsters, they don’t even mention her in interviews because they know they really screwed up with her 😭 tom has been talking about the vulture, and not once has he said a thing about the character's daughter, who also happened to be the girl peter loved 😭 instead he’s really pushing the spideychelle narrative (like the whole "harry osborn being played by timothée chalamet and turning evil because he wants mj and fights with peter bc of that") to compensate for the fact that they had no progression in the movies... it’s like he’s thinking "maybe if i sound convincing enough, people will believe that mj is a relevant character and that this love story wasn’t built on nothing"... sorry tom, but i can’t forgive you for that 😭💔

god yes absolutely. i hateddddd the boh thing so much i was sitting there watching it like 🧍🏽‍♀️ is this what they call character? this is the best they could’ve given mj? the girl who the plot now suddenly revolves around wooing bc she’s so cool and wonderful off screen? 😭 pls.

i’m of the opinion that romantic subplots are not really necessary in spider-man films mostly bc the original trilogy did a horrid job setting it up and, while i do love gwen in tasm, i still have some criticism of her relationship with peter. so for me, making the ENTIRE plot of a film revolve around a love interest is already an… unfortunate choice. but then putting absolutely no effort in creating a dynamic character is so insulting 😭 like y’all disregard everything hoco built up just to make mj’s character, who was a glorified extra in it, worse? you give her nothing?

and you can tell zendaya really tried to make the best of it in the interviews but the base of the character is so bad and so lazy that the more effort she put, the more cringy and awkward it was to watch. it was just so unattractive, i could barely sit through peter and mj’s scenes together. even the moment shippers are obsessed with, the “you’re pretty too” part was sooo palpably awkward and not in a cute way 😭 i’m not opposed to some wholesome awkward moments between two teens who like each other and it’s clear mcu writers know how to do it bc they delivered in hoco with lizpeter, but they dropped the ball so hard with mj and it sucks. if they had to essentially kill off liz from the whole universe, the least they could’ve done is make sure mj, who had little potential in hoco, is properly characterised.

but naur… instead we get necklaces referencing a femicide and scooby doo that shit. i’ve read so many fics that created an amazing version of mj that i actually liked and that didn’t abandon those stereotypical edgy girl traits, but they worked with them and made them enjoyable and funny. mcu writers really need a lesson from some authors on here bc this mj they shoving down our throats is simply not it.

anyway whoo this ask had me going 😭 i really enjoy analysing films with y’all, it’s so fun to hear your opinions

Hello Rhymie! @rhymingtree

Had a busy, horrid Sunday. This’ll be my late night pick-me-up!

🖤🖤🖤 I hope your monday is better 🖤🖤🖤

Also I’m skipping the coffee. I’ve learned my lesson this time.

lol but i like your chaotic rants...they entertain me

OH EXCEPT FOR HIS FAMILY. RIGHT OF COURSE THEY’D BE CONVENIENTLY THERE SO THEY CAN BECOME TARGETS FOR THE MOB NICE NICE OK GOOD START GOOD START

hehehehehehehehhe 😈

… Darke, I’m scared.

good 😈

ARI AND JESSEEEEE being adorable buddiesss… as adorable as a hulking man with a habit of violence and a firecracker pilot with a rebellion streak can be.

i love them so much

DID SHE JUST CALL HIM CUTE

yes, yes she did 😏

What… did he find? Oh god, what did he find…

😏😏😏

Sidenote (and I’m sure I’ve said this before), you’re so fricking good at balancing so many characters all at once and making them feel so real and so relatable and yet so broken that I love every single one of them. They’re all so unique but they’re also so unquestionably yours. I don’t know how you do it Darke, but you do it so well.

thank you so much 🖤

Also- your dialogue. Fuckin’ perfect. I love the way they all just bounce against each other in conversation, it’s so fricking cool

dialogue is one of my fave things to write, i'm so glad you like it! 🖤

Ah… Ari/Jesse. I gotta think of shipnames for these guys it’s getting a bit hard to keep track of them all…

🖤🖤🖤

“…You should try it sometime.”

He paused this time, raising a brow as he looked back at her, “What? Friends?”

Like I said. Fucking relatable. Not saying I don’t have friends but the flippant disregard he has for any social interactions beyond the few people he’s close with is just… me

same tho

I wish Ari threw more people out windows. Like on Buencamino’s yacht. The window was right there. There were bodies everywhere. I should have made him throw out at least one of them. :(

boone and duke have mom jokes. belov has his vodka. air throws people out windows. they all have their own thing

DUKE IS RELIVING MY FAVORITE MOMENT FROM THE LAST EPISODE

i loved that part. jack drooling over duke was adorabbbleeee

Awww Nea and Nia warm my heart and they’re not even doing anything yet. They’re just there and they’re stealing the show

👑👑 the queens of aftermath have arrived on base

TURNER JOHNSON BEING A BADASS POLITICIAAAN! They’d have been so proud of him.

they would have made fun of him but they'd be so so so proud

Danny would have been his biggest hype man…

he really would have

I am making myself sad for no reason

you're making me sad bruh 😭

NEA AND BABAR ARE RIGHT DUKE ASK HIM ON A DATE SGJIERJPOGHP

yesssssssss

Nea doin’ the lord’s work right now

she really is

“Ask him on a date and maybe he’ll let you play with his trucks,” she said, making her elephant hop from Duke’s shoulder to his head and back down again.

A twisted grin curled to Boone’s lips as she leaned against his ear to whisper, “That’s not all he’ll let you play with.”

Excuse me what

you heard her 😏

I love it when grown ups almost let out a very big bad word and then stop right in the middle before it’s uttered to change it to something innocent… It’s so cute.

it's one of my fave things to do

When Boone does talk to Ghost again, it’ll be the death of me.

sameeee

His name is Frazier?

No wonder he’s so pretentious. He sounds like a trust fund baby

🤣🤣🤣

Ari’s right Frazier. Throwing out eight guys out the window is an achievement, so shut up and leave him alone 😠

yesssssssssss

Raf reminds me of me, we are both stupid smart people. Except he’s an actual fucking doctor and the most I have done was keep myself on the honor roll.

🤣 i love that so much 🤣

Zac sounds a bit scary when you describe him like this what the heck- wait nevermind, I looked just like that three days ago trying to meet my deadlines.

same tho

Now I crave Aftermath and Spidey interactions… Like, Boone and MJ? Or Belov? My god, the mess that would make…

it would be pure chaos

LOOK AT ZAC MAKING MORE FRIENDS! It’s so fricking awesome seeing Alpha Two slowly come together.

i love this season purely for that reason alone, they're all v slowly coming together

Did they not realize that by making him look family oriented with making his family public, that he was putting his family at risk WITH THE MOB!?

😈😈😈

fricking cliffhangers gosh darn it

heheheheheheheheheh 😏

Jack’s fixing jeeps again! How interesting, i wonder what’ll happen next. Wo knows who might turn up 😉😉😏😏

who knows? who could it beeeeeee

OH HI DUKE FANCY SEEING YOU HERE

wellll haiiiiiiii

Oh he didn’t ask him out 😒

he got scarrrrredddd again

Boone weaing a green dress is giving me fluttery feelings in my stomach.

same tho

I also forgot Thomas’ name and for the sake of comedic effect I will not scroll up to check.

lol so did I

Ah, right. Frazier. Ok. I’ll forget it again later.

same

YOU SHOULD HAVE GONE TO BOONE. NOT TO THOMAS THE TANK ENGINE

Rhymie!!! when i tell you i spat out my coffeeeeee 🤣

How did… how did lil thomas manage to shove Ari (with his whole size and everything) out the door?

pure rage

Jesus, Mary and Joseph… Boone looks amazing.

she really do

BARDOT CALINESCU UIRIOPODR

🖤🖤🖤

Boone can throw me down a flight of stairs and curse my bloodline… even then I’d be in love with her.

saaaammmeeeee

Fuckin’ loved this chapter so much. I’m so excited for the next episode, and I’m so so excited to see it all come together. Boone is everything.

Thank you so much!

I’m too tired now and my brain is fuzzy. I’ll be going to sleep dreaming about Boone in that green dress, kicking ass and taking names.

Sleep well my love 🖤

SEASON 2 : EPISODE 5 — THE GIANT

“Hadar!” He snapped, waving his hands in front of Ari’s face to capture his attention, “You aren't even listening.”

“No, I am not.”

Thomas sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose between his fingers, “You're doing this on purpose, aren't you?”

“Doing what?” Ari shrugged, with a half-hearted roll of his eyes, “I haven't done anything.”

“You threw a man out the window,” his team leader scoffed with a quick shake of his head.

“Men.” Ari corrected him, picking at his nails as he relaxed back in his seat, “Eight men.”

“And you're proud of it.” Thomas sighed, his jaw cocking to the side.

“Have you ever thrown eight men from a window?” He asked, “It's rather difficult.”
