ah yes my second favourite genre of jay: superhero (hides my undeveloped chat noir and iron man jays bc as much as i write and enjoy writing jay i really think my brain will explode if i write them all but my brain will also explode if i don't unleash the hcs so yeah)
i am not an artist but i saw your spider jay art i love it may i add some au expansion ideas:
steve hong is the scientist who made the radioactive spider, he brought it home bc he doesn't trust the other researchers but the spider got free, hitched a ride on joy's bag when she left home to visit jay, and bit jay
jay grows his bangs out after being bitten bc sometimes he has the 8 spider eyes, he didn't speak before because of anxiety but now he doesn't speak bc he has spider fangs. yes eldritch jay let's go
you know i wanna see senpai daniel. jae hyung is good and all but i wanna see senpai daniel. jay being an absolute simp for his hot popular journalist/photographer senpai who also happens to get stuck in every single damsel in distress incident you can think of but that also means spider jay gets to save him! daniel senpai thinks spider jay is cool even after the face reveal!
charles choi is norman osborn + ceo of steve hong's rival company, he becomes green goblin and tries to destroy spider jay but spider jay is a smort boi he's just bad at communicating
bonus steve hong as nice!doc ock or tom lee as weird perv!doc ock tom lee would be funnier but i also don't want him trying to look at jay's dick 💀
more on daniel: WHAT IF EDDIE BROCK!DANIEL & VENOM!GUN. daniel is just The Most Unlucky Guy Ever who's also unlucky enough to adopt a cannibalistic violent symbiote. instead of runt symbiote venom we have The Most OP Symbiote Ever venom!gun whose only nerf is being in daniel's body. that or we pull a spideypool with spider jay and daniel who is still the unluckiest guy ever but also Simply Cannot Die
okay everyone BUT: an au where jay is spiderman.
if no one makes art about this, guess i will have to do it myself (i already did, i just want to be dramatic) 😤😤😤

ok so when did chip become a corpse. what even happened in riptide after like epidisode 80
so basically after goobleck/the doctor shit they turn apple back into her normal form it was actually finn tidestrider but hes asleep for like forevwr so they put him in a bathtub!
then felipe pulls out a card from the deck of many things and it makes him hate gillion, and actively try and kill/harm him but its magic shit so he dosent rlly wanna.. then he pulls a card that gives him a shit load of money and then he pulls a card that sends him to hell. like actual hell.
then theyre like "eh well find him later"(they still havent yet) and chip pulls a card that gives him money and like basically a house. (or that might have been earlier that he got it? idk) anddd chip and gillion take out 10000000 loans from the . sea bank or whatever they were called and they fight them so they keep the money but either way they lost a shit load of it.
then they meet the jazz pirates and they get some funky shit from them . as in an allarm thong for when gillion throws their money into the sea.
then they go to the sea mart and get kick ass new gear and they made jay put her hair down :( then they go find old man earl making sooo much money has he has bitches like crazy on his juice business but hes bored so he joins the crew again to find the one peice fruit lol
then they make their way to bead bath and beyond . and start making their way to the black sea and take a reast at a . fuckin island but gillion gets scratched by kuba kenta . and jays navy school buddy Kira is there.
THEN because finn is back they start trying to wake him up and gillion goes into his mind and its bubbles and hes in like. a loop or whatever but he starts waking up because the fucking. sleepy bubble curse is broken. idk i forget
THEN they go back to Zero(the island it started on and where they got ollie) and then they bring him home but his mom is in a hospital thats being tormented by a gang and they start fucking them up to leave them alone but . actually i forget the plotline of that part in particular..
then they meet ensa whos fighting chips house that he got from the deck of many things. and they all fight the house and its like wiw it's his !! he lets her stay and she nakes a teleporter from between the ship and the house . they leave ollie with his mom and ensa then they gooooo to help gillion.
then gillion has a freaky nightmare that lasts a whole episode..
then they make their way to jays mom she helps them but the tree that her familys magic is based on is like fading and jays mom and dad have marrige issues and they hide in her attack while a navy search goes through. then they leave.
then jays dad is there and they fight or whatever and they find lizzie and such and she and jay talk and lizzie saw ava killed by the navy and that they were kinda like friends and one sided romance core... idk. jays like "wtf." and chip is like the man in the middle trying to settle their argument. then they leave and its like Woah.
then they make their way back to where the bed bath and beyond was so they can go to the black sea and thats why slimecicle made jort storm .(song) and ..... yeahthen they see chips wife but she dosent know its him cuz of the crews disguises...
then theyre in the black sea and shit then they go to thos big . castle whatevwr and theres Lore and shit over how the black sea was before. then they fight this crew and chip gets killed by this captian spider woman whatever . but hes still alive but she takes his heart out and she Still Has It. btw.
then she becomes a cocoon or smrhn like that and chip goes in and then niklaus is there and takes chips heart.
then theres gay marrige and then they find out that caspian probably works for the navy or at least someone on lizzies crew and so jay goes back because theyre getting ready to hold a big surprise attack against the navy except the navy knows.
thats the very summerized version. it all hurts. i have a headache. my hand is asleep. i almostcried while writing this cuz theres so much. my eyes hurt.

Comics Read-Through: Romeo (1)
So I immediately fell in love with Romeo's appearance in Astonishing Ice-Man #1 (2023) and decided I'd better check out his entire list of appearances, which thankfully is very small.
Tumblr media
Spoiler alert: This post ends on a depressing note.
We're going to be jumping around a lot.
The first issue is a X-Men run, and coincidentally, I've been listening to Jay & Miles X-Plain the X-Men for the past few days. I've only listened to the first 9 episodes, but I think I won't be lost too much. I definitely recommend giving it a listen if you're curious about the X-Men comics!
All-New X-Men (2016) #13
I was actually surprised to see Bobby's sexuality at the forefront of this issue. He's gay and out now. He came out in April 2015's issue, so as you can guess from the title, not long before this one.
The art is very pretty, quite colorful and easy on the eyes. Very interestingly, Bobby says his idea of a gay culture is very outdated (and actually offensive according to the Internet). After all, he IS a younger version of him from the first issues, and not older current-day Iceman. Which is sad when you think about it, because any meaningful connexion Bobby might make in this time will be rendered useless when he comes back to his time, in the past.
Tumblr media
Does that come from Top Gun? Hahaha, I should really finish that movie. I think I still have an hour left or something...
So Bobby finally lets himself go, and their hands touch... and Bobby cries and becomes Iceman right in the middle of the bar. He's ashamed and leaves and barges on... Romeo, naturally. They proceed to flirt, and are interrupted by a beautiful creature.
Tumblr media
Really great art!
This is actually a friend of Romeo's, who calms him down, and then Romeo's fellow Inhumans arrive. Later, Romeo explains that he's an empath and can manipulate emotions. So this is basically Mantis. Okay! I'm into that, as a concept, because it can lead to great stories (see: Buffy S6). Bobby feels awkward about that, but...
Tumblr media
I squeed. They're adorable!
Tumblr media
That's how the issue ends, with the last sentence promising "Next: More Horror for Cyclops" which sounds like a sadistic fanfic writer. Hell yeah. But we won't be reading that, because...
2. Spider-Woman (2016) #10
Spider-Woman! We're reading other Spider-people comics before even meeting our first alternate one. Well, I guess technically we met Peter's clone? Maybe? I don't know much about Ben Reilly, but given we just finished (re)reading the first Clone Saga...
Oh, and did I say this issue is in the middle of Civil War II? Which is ridiculous because I've only read Civil War I.
Tumblr media
No matter! The art style is pretty different, but I oddly like it.
Jess is on a mission to basically confirm Ulysses's visions, because she doesn't trust them. Romeo appears to take care of a new, old lady Inhuman who doesn't control her newfound powers very well. I have to mention that he's pretty ugly in this issue.
It ends with national news that Clint Barton (Hawkeye) just killed Bruce Banner (Hulk), and Jess is pretty pissed at her girlfriend, Captain Marvel (they're very lesbiany in this issue and Jess acknowledges it, I wonder if it went farther than this).
Let's shift back to...
3. All-New X-Men (2016) #17
Sooo... Bobby and Romeo are boyfriends, and the Inhumans and X-Men are at war with each other. Oops.
The issue begins with their 4th date, and Bobby slaps himself, thinking he should have kissed Romeo. And I'm like. What. exactly. have you been doing those past dates. if you haven't even kissed?!
But the concept of dates is very alien to me, we were actually talking about that with my boyfriend this week-end. I considered us boyfriend our very first date, where he had the option to go back home and chose to actually follow me home. I was like, "okay, we're boyfriends then" and we definitely kissed, I'll tell ya. But in *his* head, we only became boyfriends weeks later when I realized he was missing me while I was away. What a goof. I love him.
So 4 dates without even kissing? Gay kids? This is completely absurd but okay. Gotta milk that teenage angst.
The whole team meanwhile has been waiting in Bobby's room to tell him that, uh, things were going to get complicated for him and his boyfriend.
Tumblr media
Then we get a flashback to their first date! They held hands, how wonderful.
And in the present, Bobby takes part in the attack on New Attilan (Romeo's home). Date #2 recollection! They play Laser Tag and Romeo argues those things are a relic of the past, but at least in my country, they're still very popular so what gives?
Date #3! They splashed in a Water Park!
Bobby finds Romeo in a safe room with non-combattants, which I find sad because I'm sure Romeo's skills have battle applications... but reassuring other people is probably important as well.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Well. I guess that's a way to make it important!
Together, they leave the place because love is more important than a silly battle with dubious motivations.
It's only reading the comments on a certain website that I understand that Romeo's called like that because... it's a Romeo and Juliet story. Duh.
4. All-New X-Men (2016) #19
I assume the issue in-between shows what happens aside from them. This is all definitely slower pacing than what I'm used to, not that I'm complaining.
I thought it would be a grand war final issue, but the blurb says the war has ended. Oh. Uh. Okay. You know what? Let's skim through #18.
It... doesn't help much, though. There's parallel series where the crux happens. Oh well. I sure wouldn't be satisfied if I was only reading one magazine. At least, if you're wondering, Bobby went back to help his team.
So, #19!
Tumblr media
Who are you and what did you do to Romeo?!
So Hank sends the OG 5 to their past... but they discover that their originals never left. So the OG5 who were transported to the future will stay in the future (so, the present). Okay, that's a good conclusion!
Tumblr media
Gee, I wonder what we're reading n--
5. Iceman (2017) #1
Tumblr media
Tuuuuuurns out... This comic series features TWO Icemen: current Iceman, and displaced Iceman. Huh! I didn't see that coming.
We get a nice Romeo cameo, and Current!Bobby is called because his father is in the hospital. He didn't come out to his family, that sucks.
Tumblr media
His family sucks, by the way, dear Lord.
Intriguing series, not sure I'll ever read it though.
So... that's it. Romeo pretty much doesn't appear anymore between 2017 and 2021.
So here I was, thinking it was intriguing, that story about the displaced X-Men. I had to find out what happened to Displaced!Bobby!
Turns out he does have a storyline with his companions in X-Men Blue and it's more or less... harrowing.
Tumblr media
What's in red brackets is what happens in All-New X-Men (2016) #19. After that, it's X-Men Blue. Dear Lord. That's a nasty retcon.
So I assume that the next part of the Bobby/Romeo storyline is with Current!Bobby then. Oof. We'll see that in the next post!

Another rant this fine morning: I was watching TikToks (mistake number one) and I got a video talking about how William Jackson Harper should play Clark Kent (ditto that sentiment) and I checked the comments (mistake number two). There were, unsurprisingly a fair amount of people talking about how “it’s better to just create a new character rather than change an old one”. With a fair few of them (on both the main video and the follow up) mentioning Miles Morales and how there’s a black Spider-Man. And while yes, Miles Morales is awesome and characters like him are very important, I feel like it’s completely missing the point of this type of representation.
Sure, there is a black Spider-Man, and there is a black Batman, and there are at least two black Supermen. There is also a bi Superman, and an ace Green Arrow, and a Chinese female Flash.
And while, yes, Miles Morales IS Spider-Man, completely and utterly. Just as Jace Fox IS Batman, Val-Zod and Calvin Ellis ARE Superman, and so is Jonathan Kent, and Connor Hawke IS Green Arrow, and Avery Ho IS The Flash, that doesn’t go both ways.
Miles Morales IS Spider-Man, but Spider-Man™ is Peter Parker, Batman™ is Bruce Wayne, Superman™ is Clark Kent, The Green Arrow™ is Oliver Queen, and The Flash™ is Barry Allen. Yes, there is a black Spider-Man, but Spider-Man™ isn’t black (and according to the contracts for the movies never will be). They might make A Superman queer, but they will never make THE Superman queer.
Everyone who isn’t an abled christian cis-het white man knows how absolutely exhausting it is to constantly be “The ___ One”. For all of your representation to be tokenised and considered outliers in the medium. And for everything about you and everything you do to need a qualifier. You can be a girlboss but not a boss, you can have a gay wedding but not a wedding, you can be a trans man but not a man. It is extremely dehumanising to constantly be reminded that you are an outlier, a divergence from the norm, “different”. That you will never and can never be The Main Guy™.
Which is why, while it is important to create new characters to make our entertainment more diverse and representational, and it is absolutely important to have representation showing how fundamentally these aspects of our identities impact our existence, it is also important, every now and then, for people to see themselves not as black Superman, but as Superman™ the one and only.
Side note: The Flash is an important example here because while The Flash™ is currently Barry Allen, he hasn’t always been. The Flash™ has been Jay Garrick, Barry Allen, and Wally West (the first one) at different points in time. Which shows us that who is considered The Main Guy™ is actually flexible and can be altered through exposure. But it never will be if we keep representing these characters as “The ___ version” of the character. That exposure will also take a fair amount of time, and in the meantime people still deserve to see themselves as The Main Guy™ every now and then, and not just as the Diversity™ version.

Kai: WE CAN WANT YOU SEXUALLY TOO
Cole: That's not kinky, that's just abusive
Lloyd: CAN WE STOP USING THE TERM “BLONDE BITCH”
Cole: That’s not how you do it! Straddle me HO!
Kai: I didn’t mean to kick you in the coochie! Jay, I’m the distance: Be genital with her!
Cole: Yeah, also Jay tackled me and then grabbed me in between his legs and Kai jumped on top and Jay smacked his ass and I tried to record so Kai tried to smack my phone out of my hand and missed and his finger went right in my eye so I rolled over screaming and they got up and threw pebbles at me
Cole: It sounds naked! Music!
Kai, to anyone after they say Wu seems chill: He looks like a big soft squishy man but he is not
Zane: On average, in order to feel happy, you need to be touched, (pokes Jay) 8 times a day Kai raises two fingers on each hand: I’m about to make you ALL happy" *every person at the table in unison scoots away*
Zane: You looked like lord farquad but in a cute way!
Jay, after getting a pizza shoved at him. The pepperoni sanitized my facehole
Kai: I am the WITNESS! VICTIM! And I will play ... the e x e c u t i o n e r .

Conner going on about a book he likes and Kyle looking at him like he’s the actual world is a big vibe I see them having, also Conn seeing Kyle loose it explaining the significance of an art piece in a gallery and just Conn’s face says “this is one of my favorite people.”
ROY BEING THE SUPPORTIVE BRO IS ALL I WANT. Wally being the supportive but more snarky friend is also something that is so precious to me and in character. Okay off topic but my favorite dc couple moment is when linda and Wally are out to lunch and they judge other couples together like how dare dc rob us of obviously made for each other soulmates. If Jai and Iris II Dont inherit their parents snark dc doesn’t have a braincell between them.
Conn incredibly romantizing their dates because that is legit how he remembers them can be so personal to me. Also imaging northern Cali boy Kyle trying to skate is funny, however I can see him rollerblading well.
YES! Their road trip, ugh, sleeping under the stars with a boy youve known for less than a week, thinking to yourself how handsome he is and you, a disaster bi, trying to sus out if he’s gay but really your just happy to have a friend as well. Them stargazing together out in the middle of nowhere probabky becomes a tradition for them. Tbh gazing out at the stars in the desert/beach probably has a lot of sentimental value to Kyle, cause like let’s be honest it was where we first saw him but where he saw the event that would lead the ring to him in the first place even if he didn’t know that yet. Tbh, I do think one of their first deep kisses was under the stars like this one, it seems like a romantic place to have a first kiss tbh.
They literally look at each other like they hung the moon and the stars. And knowing Kyle maybe he has lol. But they just they love each other so very much. 
Roy is so supportive of his bro I just DC are monsters for taking it away. I am sorry to break it to you but DC stomped out all their brain cells like jumping on grapes to make wine in the 80s when they killed Barry Allen. Quickly followed by Marvel Comics in the 90s who contributed their brain cells to the mix with the clone saga. (i kid I kid I love spider-mans brothers/clones like my own children)
Kyle can rollerblade very well I’m sure of it. He went to art school in LA and then like quit or something to be a free lance artist. that boy could afford nothing but roller skates. (Alex had the jeep lol) 
it does and yes going out into the desert to stargaze is everything to me. Okay and Conn figures out it’s something Kyle and Alex used to do and he doesn’t wanna like take over that thing. But Kyle just says it reminds him of her and he hopes that doesn’t bother Conn. And like it doesn’t if there is one thing consistent for everyone of Kyle’s SOs and everyone really is that they all know how much he loved Alex and they all respect the hell out of her. So yeah Kyle is happy to do the things he loves doing with whoever he loves you know. 
It is very romantic. They’re very romantic. I love them because they were just like you know most of these friendships are fight the bad guys chill in the down times. These two were like let’s chill oh and also I guess we should probably kick the shit out of these asshole cops or whatever. I love them

Forced heterosexuality
I think it should be a trope. I really do. Because I think in terms of comic book romances, it is way too convenient to insert romances without bothering to develop chemistry.
Now before half of you cry about this, there is a difference between a well-written romance that does not romanticize toxic usually misogynistic tendencies between a cis male and cis woman and forced heterosexuality. And no, it does not mean relationships have to be idyllic. I am saying that writing romance has to be placed under as much scrutiny as you would on gay or lesbian romances.
Tumblr media
Because this shit is forced.
Harry all of the sudden needs Gwen. Mind you that this is the same Harry that had no qualms about killing Gwen even after he found out that she was Spider-woman. All of the sudden, he wants Gwen to stay in this world when he was very much part of the reason why Gwen was an outcast in the first place. Like where did this even come from? Harry goes from having a crush on Gwen and being a friend to all of the sudden making romantic gestures?
Gwen Stacy and Harry Osborn have no chemistry because Harry was more mad about Peter, a boy he pitied because of how broken he was, than he was mad about the entire smear campaign that he, his father, and J. Jonah helped orchestrate.
Why is Spider-Gwen so fucking miserable in her world? Because 3 white men decided to sympathize with a white boy who was one Breaking Benjamin song away from committing the next Columbine instead of actually looking into how they created the world that makes the Peter Parkers who don’t get bitten so willing to feel special that they turn themselves into a monster. Osborn is part of the reason why Gwen doesn’t have a private life anymore and yet he has the audacity to say he chooses her?
Fucking excuse me?
And people who hereto-lock refuse to even acknowledge the complexity of love when it comes to homosexuality. Like if there are two gay characters of the same sex then neither can ever be interested in another person ever. I am a huge proponent of Mary Jane and Gwen Stacy because they have the most chemistry and MJ comes off as a jilted selfish lover. But since she is with Glory, there is no way she could be interested in Gwen Stacy. It is like impossible for people to be with someone and love someone else. Guess what? People do that shit all of the time, sadly. But to even refuse that or even acknowledge that as a possibility is like rocket science to people when it comes to same sex relationships in fiction.
It is not like 616 Mary Jane was always with Peter and only Peter. She dated Harry and several dudes before Peter became a thing. 616 Gwen Stacy was with Flash before she dated Peter. And Betty being married to Ned Leeds did not stop Peter from making out with her nor did it stop her from having an affair with Flash. But there is no way that Em Jay can even be interested in Spider-Gwen because she is in a relationship with Glory?
Tumblr media
Really?
Tumblr media
Really?
Tumblr media
Reaaaally?
Tumblr media
She is gay for Spider-Gwen. The only reason she is with Glory is because Gwen wasn’t there.
Tumblr media
There are even longing looks.
Tumblr media
Man, I am telling you. There is more than enough text, subtext or context, to say MJ is crushing on Gwen. It is not queerbait. It’s intentional. She is acting like her 616 version did with Peter. Exactly like her in regards to their Spider-people’s heroism.
I am just saying it is forced heterosexuality when you immediately ignore context or possibilities and go for shallow relationships over relationships that actually have depth but are discarded because they are same sex. I am not crackshipping when it is the only relationship in the comic that actually has depth.

Ultimate Spider-Man Symflash headcanons
Because I can’t write, I can’t draw, and I can’t pay other people to do it for me.
* The symbiote that's with Flash is a fragment of the larger chunk of symbiote that went down with the Helicarrier in season 1, episode 26, and not the brand new symbiote created in season 3, episode 2. Consequently, they remember Harry, but not the time the Goblin injected Peter with Venom (different fragment).
* Also, in this continuity, "Venom" is actually the name the symbiote picked for themself.
* Venom was a blank slate at their birth, like an infant, with zero concept of morals or social mores. They might've been able to suss it out by osmosis from their hosts' brains, if their most long-term host hadn't been Harry "I hate my dad and I wish he was dead" Osborn.
* Flash's and Venom's first dance as Agent Venom went something like this: Venom: “Okay, I think I've cracked the code. Every time I assert my personhood separate from my host, I get electrocuted to smithereens. So maybe if I... pretend to be an inanimate object, act super low-key, this new host won't notice, and I can delay my next near-death experience.” Flash: "This is awesome! You're awesome! What's your name? I'm Flash! Do you wanna be friends? Do you like football? Do you know what football is?" Venom: *tears streaming down their metaphorical face* "wHAt tHe fUcK Is goINg oN"
* That was not the moment Venom decided to bind themselves permanently to Flash, though. That happened after Beetle tried to hit them with a sonic blast. Venom was in pain, and Flash was telling them not to be scared, because Spider-Man would help them, they could trust Spidey. That was Venom's first exposure to the concept of trust. And after they saw that trust paid off, they decided to trust Flash. And their trust paid off. Flash: "Did you hear that, buddy? You won't have to leave after all! Isn't this great?" Venom:
Tumblr media
* Flash's training period at SHIELD was mostly dedicated to teaching human morality to Venom and training himself to not refer to himself as "we" (it gives the people with the sonic guns twitchy trigger fingers).
* Sure, I could NOT shoehorn in Flash's comic book backstory. But I'm a slut for cheap angst, so I'm gonna. ** Flash didn't so much live at the gas station as he squatted there after running away from home. ** The smell of alcohol is a trigger for him. He drops off the radar on his 21st birthday because he's terrified his friends will try to take him to a bar.
* Flash and Venom converse telepathically more often than they let on. They like to do Mystery Science Theatre 3000 running commentaries during boring meetings. They also do a psychic duet of Bohemian Rhapsody whenever a known mind reader walks into the room. Just in case.
* Venom thinks the fact that Flash was The Very First Host They Ever Took is the most romantic thing ever. ("It was destiny!") Flash is just embarrassed that their first meeting was so inauspicious. ("You came out of a toilet and I tried to feed Pete to you.")
* Venom can do a bang-up impersonation of Harry, and you can bet they use it to make fun of him at any opportunity. ** "Hurr burr, I have a limousine, a penthouse home and billions of dollars, and when my favorite Spider-Person doesn't reciprocate my gay crush *choking up* I don't cry about it."
* There was a brief period after "Anti-Venom" where Venom was too weak to speak to Flash, and Flash wasn't sure if they were dead or alive. ** Of course he cried; slut for cheap angst, remember?
* Flash has undiagnosed dyslexia. He didn't figure it out until Venom asked him why letters wiggle for him but not for Harry.
* Venom likes dandelions, especially ones growing out of cracks in the sidewalk. ** "They're considered weeds and eradicated on sight, and yet they're strong enough to break through rock, and hardy enough to survive in environments that would be inhospitable to all other plants. It's just... poeticcinema.jpg." *** "Buddy, you can beam a crisp and clear mental impression of any picture directly into my brain. There's literally no reason for you to say 'dot jay peg' out loud, ever."
* Peter & Co. keep making references to stuff Venom did that Venom has no memory of (because there's an entire branch of symbiotes that diverged from them, so they literally weren't around for those events). Flash decides to investigate and pulls up all SHIELD case reports about Venom. That's the first time he finds out how many symbiotes SHIELD has killed or attempted to kill. Venom can only shrug their metaphorical shoulders. People have been trying to murder them nearly from the moment of their birth. They didn't have a point of reference, so they'd just sort of assumed it was a normal part of life. They don't really understand why Flash is crying. And that makes Flash cry harder. ** And that's the story of how Flash got over his crush on Peter. *** Venom doesn't see much point in holding grudges. After all, if they ever express anger or try to retaliate over their treatment, they'll be stuffed in a jar at best and incinerated alive at worst. Luckily, Flash is a finely-tuned rage producing machine; he can be angry on both of their behalf.
* Flash encourages Venom to have their own hobbies separate from him. To facilitate this, Venom has permission to drive around Flash's body while he sleeps, provided they don't stray away from SHIELD headquarters and wake Flash up if there's an emergency. ** Venom likes looking up video tutorials for random things. And because they share a brain with Flash, he ends up learning things by proxy. (The morning he woke up fluent in American Sign Language was a trippy one). *** They're also into videogame speedruns, of all things.
* Scarlet Spider would very much like to forget the time he got up for a midnight snack and found Flash, with solid black eyes, hunching on top of a vending machine like a goblin, attempting to insert three chocolate bars into his mouth at once.
* Venom is the only one allowed to call Flash "Eugene". They're very territorial of their monopoly.
* Venom has a dim, dim view of father figures. Their genetic progenitor tried to murder them multiple times, and their only second-hand experiences of fathers are, well, Norman Osborn and Harrison Thompson.
* What's the point of having a foot long tongue if you don't use it to lick the bottom of your ice cream carton?
* Venom and Flash have such divergent music tastes, they need to have two separate playlists. (Flash likes punk rock and hair metal, Venom's into eurodance and chiptunes.)
* Incomplete list of animals Flash unironically thinks are cute: tarantulas ("Fuzzy!"), snakes ("Their tongues go blelele!"), amblypygids ("They cuddle their babies!"), velvet worms ("Their feet are so stubby!")
* Flash is actually pretty insecure about being Venom's host. He feels the only reason they stick with him is because he was the first person to be nice to them, and they could do better. ** Flash: "I mean, you give me superpowers, the means to get away from my old life, the opportunity to be somebody... but what do I give you in return? Maybe Doc Ock was right... maybe I AM a parasite." Venom:
Tumblr media
* Actually, Flash is insecure about a lot of things. He's afraid Peter secretly resents him for the years of bullying, he fears that he's just fooled everyone into thinking that he's a good person and really he's just as much of a monster as his father, he's scared he's too stupid to make anything of himself and he'll become a deadbeat... it's a bunch of separate but interlocking self-esteem issues. ** Venom helps, though. It's useful to have an outside perspective to your own brain.
* Flash initially calls Venom an "it", because they're genderless and he doesn't have a lot of insight into gender politics and pronouns. He later learns about they/them pronouns, and asks if he can use it for Venom. Venom, who's used to being called "it" and knows even less about personal pronouns, is confused. They have a long discussion about dehumanizing language that ends with Venom shrugging their metaphorical shoulders and going "Sure, if it makes you feel better".
* Being a couple kind of sneaks up on them. In their defense, both of them have little to no experience in giving or receiving affection; they have trouble distinguishing different kinds of love (hence why Flash thought his giant gay crush on Peter was just wanting to be his best buddy).
* Cons of wearing actual clothes instead of a shapeshifted symbiote: Doing laundry. Pros of wearing actual clothes: Nobody can tell you're giving your boyfriend a fullbody cuddle under his shirt in public.
* They're both super affectionate and flirty. They both get super flustered and embarrassed when receiving affection and being flirted at. Together, they are a disaster.

here’s my oscar winners review that absolutely no one asked for (keep reading)
have i seen enough films of 2018 to actually be doing this? am i an actual film critic? no, of course not, but i’ve got lots of opinions and that’s why i’m posting this! in bold are the winners, in italics are my pick of what should’ve won, and if there was a category that i really knew nothing about, it will not be included. also we’re saving the best for last so if you want my hottest and fully developed takes you might as well go to the end of this post
Best Animated Short: Bao, Animal Behaviour, Late Afternoon, One Small Step, Weekends
i did not see any of the other animated shorts on this list but bao, which maybe says something, but i remember seeing this in theaters along with many other trailers/adverts while waiting to see bohemian rhapsody (wow...) and it was so, very emotional. perhaps it even took the spotlight of that whole movie experience? the animation was beautiful, the story was heart-wrenching, and i believe every parent and those who want to become a parent one day should take the time to watch this.
Best Animated Feature: Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, Incredibles 2, Isle of Dogs, Mirai, Ralph Breaks the Internet
well deserved, the animation in this movie was— and i’m being very serious when i say this— groundbreaking. in the least, it has shown animators that realism is not always the goal, and being experimental can certainly pay off. the concept this movie has with all the inter-dimensional spidermans joining our protagonist miles was genius, and when i realized that there would be multiples of them due to the multiple sets of intros we were given, it was hilarious and perfectly entertaining. i don’t think anyone can go into this movie and not enjoy it. i honestly thought incredibles 2 was going to win, just simply due to my lack of faith in the academy, but thankfully that did not happen. as far as the others, they were all definitely deserving of their oscar nomination, but the oscar win had to go to spider-verse.
Best Film Editing: Bohemian Rhapsody, BlacKkKlansman, The Favourite, Green Book, Vice
i mean... bohemian rhapsody? surely there’s something else... that was maybe even a little bit more deserving... than that. surely academy, surely you can do better. or can you? bohemian rhapsody had some of the worst editing in a major film that i’ve seen. i mean, did you just like how the movie made you FEEL, academy?! be honest you can say it. i loved we will rock you. but that’s not editing! i mean, this alone made me seasick: https://twitter.com/jesssetaylor/status/1097712834643984390. i would’ve loved to see the favourite win, as the editing in that movie represented it so well. the editing created a fully immersive experience, and the short, witty, snappy quips that were highlighted by the editing made the viewing experience all the more hilarious. the title sequences alone that were edited in gave me a purpose to watch the scenes a bit more closer than i initially would’ve; searching for the line that was given the status of the title for that section. i haven’t seen blacKkKlansman but if that had won, i wouldn’t have been mad about it, as i’ve heard great things. but ultimately, the favourite deserved this oscar. 
Best Visual Effects: First Man, Avengers: Infinity War, Christopher Robin, Ready Player One, Solo: A Star Wars Story
i’m just glad avengers didn’t get this
Best Sound Mixing: Bohemian Rhapsody, Black Panther, First Man, Roma, A Star Is Born
now best sound mixing, i suppose i can understand. the sound in this movie WAS the movie. i felt like i was actually in concert, experiencing queen live, so i understand. it was very good. i could have seen ASIB taking this oscar as well, due to everyone raving about the music, but perhaps this was the one oscar that bohemian rhapsody actually deserved.
Best Sound Editing: Bohemian Rhapsody, Black Panther, First Man, A Quiet Place, Roma
nope, nope, nope. again, mixing i understand, but editing? all they did was edit in the songs mate... roma should have won this. the sounds in that movie made me feel like i was actually there, experiencing the water dripping down from the buildings, creating a puddle. washing the floor, witnessing a protest, being outside when i’m actually inside— watching the movie with my family. it was so realistic; i was completely taken. dissatisfied completely with this one!
Best Original Score: Black Panther, BlacKkKlansman, If Beale Street Could Talk, Isle of Dogs, Mary Poppins Returns
nicholas britell i’m so, so sorry. everyone was talking about how great the score was for black panther, and while there were some good songs, i don’t think it deserved the oscar win. definitely deserved a nomination, but a win? i’m not so sure. if beale street could talk, now that was a score that was truly deserving of this. very disappointed that if beale street could talk’s only win was for regina king’s performance. it definitely at least deserved this oscar as well.
Best Production Design: Black Panther, The Favourite, First Man, Mary Poppins Returns, Roma
i definitely understand this win, black panther was breathtaking in terms of the beauty of the production. congratulations hannah beachler and jay hart! i would’ve been happy to see the favourite also win this category, but black panther deserved it!
Best Foreign-Language Film: Roma, Capernaum, Cold War, Never Look Away, Shoplifters
now, at first, BEFORE best picture was announced, i was confused as to why roma was even in this category. should a foreign-language film that is also nominated for best picture even be in this category? i mean, obviously it would win! and it did. i fully expected roma to win best picture (more on that later) but due to it not winning best picture, i’m very glad that it at least won best foreign-language film. but cuarón, just go ahead and give the oscar to yalitza aparicio!
Best Costume Design: Black Panther, The Ballad of Buster Scruggs, The Favourite, Mary Poppins Returns, Mary Queen of Scots
again, the costume design was amazing in black panther, and this was a win that was very deserving. but would i have liked to see the favourite win? yeah, but that’s just my own selfish gay opinion— black panther winning was definitely the right choice
Best Cinematography: Roma, The Favourite, Never Look Away, A Star Is Born, Cold War
roma deserved this, period! the cinematography was immersive, it was emotional, it was everything that it needed to be. do i even need to say more?
Best Original Screenplay: Green Book, The Favourite, First Reformed, Roma, Vice
okay, i didn’t even see first reformed and i know that it should’ve won. i mean, first reformed should have been nominated for best picture. i also would have been completely happy with the favourite winning. roma, i should mention, i would not have wanted to win because cuarón really just stole a woman’s story and made it his own, completely disregarding the feelings of the woman it was based on
Best Supporting Actor: Mahershala Ali (Green Book), Adam Driver (BlacKkKlansman), Sam Elliott (A Star Is Born), Richard E. Grant (Can You Ever Forgive Me?), Sam Rockwell (Vice)
i mean, best supporting actor? mahershala ali? he should be considered the lead actor of green book, but due to the movie just being terrible and racist and inaccurate, i guess he’s the supporting actor! other than that, i love mahershala ali so i’m just glad he got an oscar.
Best Supporting Actress: Regina King (If Beale Street Could Talk), Amy Adams (Vice), Marina de Tavira (Roma), Emma Stone (The Favourite), Rachel Weisz (The Favourite)
well deserved! i would have loved to also see stone or weisz take this as well, but i think the fact that they were both nominated from the same movie just goes to show that this movie had amazing acting, which makes me happy. i’m glad if beale street could talk and regina king’s superb acting abilities are being recognized, as well, therefore i’m pretty happy with this.
Best Actor: Rami Malek (Bohemian Rhapsody), Christian Bale (Vice), Bradley Cooper (A Star Is Born), Willem Dafoe (At Eternity's Gate), Viggo Mortensen (Green Book)
willem dafoe... maybe next year, huh? i don’t understand the appeal for rami malek winning. i used to love the man, but things he has done has shown his arrogance, so i’m a bit unsure of him recently. i’m not mad that he won, and it’s a great win for the MENA community (that i am apart of), so for that reason i’m satisfied.
Best Actress: Olivia Colman (The Favourite), Glenn Close (The Wife), Yalitza Aparicio (Roma), Lady Gaga (A Star Is Born), Melissa McCarthy (Can You Ever Forgive Me?)
olivia colman you earned it, fair and square. this was the big win for the favourite last night. as the night got closer to this announcment, i was losing faith and just expected gaga or aparicio to go ahead and take it. and as it got even closer, i just thought aparicio would win. but olivia colman, whew. her acting was stunning in the favourite. her character consumed the movie, as she should have, and she depicted queen anne’s tragedy perfectly. yalitza aparicio’s performance in roma was very good, but i did not feel the emotion from her character as viscerally as i did from olivia colman’s performance. i really thought the night would go on with the favourite winning absolutely nothing, so thank god that they got this, because olivia colman was the clear choice! that film was fantastic, and i’m glad it got a least a little bit of recognition, even though it definitely deserved at least one other oscar (cough) best flim editing (cough). queen anne was hilarious, she was maddening, she was infuriating, she was miserable, she was everything. also sorry glenn close... maybe next time?
Best Director: Alfonso Cuarón (Roma), Yorgos Lanthimos (The Favourite), Spike Lee (BlacKkKlansman), Adam McKay (Vice), Pawel Pawlikowski (Cold War)
okay cuarón, just give your oscar to yalitza aparicio. no? okay. well then, yorgos lanthimos you deserved it. the favourite was edited perfectly. the delivery of the lines was perfect. the panning from one character to the next, everything about it was done with eloquence. and don’t get me started on the music— every time viola d’amore concerto in a minor, rv. 397 i. vivace started playing just as weisz or stone did something to piss off the other, it was SO SATISFYING! of course i was only rooting for only one of them (especially by the end), but either way i felt what they were feeling in those moments. the music, the editing, the camerawork, the acting, the script... it all worked harmoniously in order to create the masterpiece that was the favourite. also, from a viola player, thank you for making the main theme a viola concerto, yorgos. also in a minor? that’s taste. this directing deserved an oscar win, not just a nomination.
Best Picture: Green Book, Black Panther, BlacKkKlansman, Bohemian Rhapsody, The Favourite, Roma, A Star Is Born, Vice
okay here we go... here we go. green book? GREEN BOOK? no. nope. literally any film besides this one please. okay let’s get started... green book is inaccurate, it’s a white savior story, it was a movie that was supposed to be about don shirley, the world class pianist, but instead is about this random fucking cab driver? and don shirley’s family have said that it was inaccurate and that it poorly represented actual events of shirley’s life. as a piano player... i am disgusted. also if you were going to give the oscar to a flim depicting racism... why not give it to blacKkKlansman? you know, the movie talking about racism that was actually created by black people and not just a team of white men? fuck you, green book! i fully expected roma to win, and oh, how wrong was i. roma deserved best picture. green book is a joke. i obviously would have liked to see the favourite win, because a gay movie about GIRLS! would have been nice to actually get some recognition. roma, the favourite, blacKkKlansman. these were the choices that should have gotten best picture. the others, eh. also why was black panther even in the nominations? like, seriously... that should have been replaced with if beale street could talk. and also, since they had ten slots anyway, first reformed should have gotten a nomination as well. this was by far the most disappointing win of the night AND confusing, for me personally (more confusing than bohemian rhapsody winning best film editing, which says something). just a terrible choice. this movie should not have even been nominated, but the academy is dumb. seriously though, NOT roma?
okay that’s it folks, those are my opinions. all in all, not a great oscars. some really good wins, though, like olivia colman’s win and spider-verse. also roma for best foreign. basically everything that was bolded and italics on this post were pretty good wins. but despite that, there were some VERY bad ones.

here’s my oscar winners review that absolutely no one asked for:
i’ve specified which films won and which were my personal choice, and if there was a category that i really knew nothing about, it will not be included. also we’re saving the best for last so if you want my hottest and fully developed takes you might as well go to the end of this post

well deserved, the animation in this movie was— and i’m being very serious when i say this— groundbreaking. in the least, it has shown animators that realism is not always the goal, and being experimental can certainly pay off. the concept this movie has with all the inter-dimensional spidermans joining our protagonist miles was genius, and when i realized that there would be multiples of them due to the multiple sets of intros we were given, it was hilarious and perfectly entertaining. i don’t think anyone can go into this movie and not enjoy it. i honestly thought incredibles 2 was going to win, just simply due to my lack of faith in the academy, but thankfully that did not happen. as far as the others, they were all definitely deserving of their oscar nomination, but the oscar win had to go to spider-verse.
Best Film Editing: Bohemian Rhapsody (WINNER), BlacKkKlansman, The Favourite (MY PICK), Green Book, Vice
i mean… bohemian rhapsody? surely there’s something else… that was maybe even a little bit more deserving… than that. surely academy, surely you can do better. or can you? bohemian rhapsody had some of the worst editing in a major film that i’ve seen. i mean, did you just like how the movie made you FEEL, academy?! be honest you can say it. i loved we will rock you. but that’s not editing! i mean, this alone gave me vertigo: https://twitter.com/jesssetaylor/status/1097712834643984390. i would’ve loved to see the favourite win, as the editing in that movie represented it so well. the editing created a fully immersive experience, and the short, witty, snappy quips that were highlighted by the editing made the viewing experience all the more hilarious. the title sequences alone that were edited in gave me a purpose to watch the scenes a bit more closer than i initially would’ve; searching for the line that was given the status of the title for that section. i haven’t seen blacKkKlansman but if that had won, i wouldn’t have been mad about it, as i’ve heard great things. but ultimately, the favourite deserved this oscar.
Best Visual Effects: First Man (WINNER, MY PICK), Avengers: Infinity War, Christopher Robin, Ready Player One, Solo: A Star Wars Story
i’m just glad avengers didn’t get this
Best Sound Mixing: Bohemian Rhapsody (WINNER, MY PICK), Black Panther, First Man, Roma, A Star Is Born
now best sound mixing, i suppose i can understand. the sound in this movie WAS the movie. i felt like i was actually in concert, experiencing queen live, so i understand. it was very good. i could have seen ASIB taking this oscar as well, due to everyone raving about the music, but perhaps this was the one oscar that bohemian rhapsody actually deserved.
Best Sound Editing: Bohemian Rhapsody (WINNER), Black Panther, First Man, A Quiet Place, Roma (MY PICK)
nope, nope, nope. again, mixing i understand, but editing? all they did was edit in the songs mate… roma should have won this. the sounds in that movie made me feel like i was actually there, experiencing the water dripping down from the buildings, creating a puddle. washing the floor, witnessing a protest, being outside when i’m actually inside— watching the movie with my family. it was so realistic; i was completely taken. dissatisfied completely with this one!
Best Original Score: Black Panther (WINNER), BlacKkKlansman, If Beale Street Could Talk (MY PICK), Isle of Dogs, Mary Poppins Returns
nicholas britell i’m so, so sorry. everyone was talking about how great the score was for black panther, and while there were some good songs, i don’t think it deserved the oscar win. definitely deserved a nomination, but a win? i’m not so sure. if beale street could talk, now that was a score that was truly deserving of this. very disappointed that if beale street could talk’s only win was for regina king’s performance. it definitely at least deserved this oscar as well.
Best Production Design: Black Panther (WINNER, MY PICK), The Favourite, First Man, Mary Poppins Returns, Roma
i definitely understand this win, black panther was breathtaking in terms of the beauty of the production. congratulations hannah beachler and jay hart! i would’ve been happy to see the favourite also win this category, but black panther deserved it!
Best Foreign-Language Film: Roma (WINNER, MY PICK), Capernaum, Cold War, Never Look Away, Shoplifters
now, at first, BEFORE best picture was announced, i was confused as to why roma was even in this category. should a foreign-language film that is also nominated for best picture even be in this category? i mean, obviously it would win! and it did. i fully expected roma to win best picture (more on that later) but due to it not winning best picture, i’m very glad that it at least won best foreign-language film. but cuarón, just go ahead and give the oscar to yalitza aparicio!
Best Costume Design: Black Panther (WINNER, MY PICK), The Ballad of Buster Scruggs, The Favourite, Mary Poppins Returns, Mary Queen of Scots
again, the costume design was amazing in black panther, and this was a win that was very deserving. but would i have liked to see the favourite win? yeah, but that’s just my own selfish gay opinion— black panther winning was definitely the right choice
Best Cinematography: Roma (WINNER, MY PICK), The Favourite, Never Look Away, A Star Is Born, Cold War
roma deserved this, period! the cinematography was immersive, it was emotional, it was everything that it needed to be. do i even need to say more?
Best Original Screenplay: Green Book (WINNER), The Favourite (MY PICK), First Reformed, Roma, Vice
okay, i didn’t even see first reformed and i know that it should’ve won. i mean, first reformed should have been nominated for best picture. i also would have been completely happy with the favourite winning. roma, i should mention, i would not have wanted to win because cuarón really just stole a woman’s story and made it his own, completely disregarding the feelings of the woman it was based on
Best Supporting Actor: Mahershala Ali (WINNER, MY PICK) (Green Book), Adam Driver (BlacKkKlansman), Sam Elliott (A Star Is Born), Richard E. Grant (Can You Ever Forgive Me?), Sam Rockwell (Vice)
i mean, best supporting actor? mahershala ali? he should be considered the lead actor of green book, but due to the movie just being terrible and racist and inaccurate, i guess he’s the supporting actor! other than that, i love mahershala ali so i’m just glad he got an oscar.
Best Supporting Actress: Regina King (If Beale Street Could Talk) (WINNER, MY PICK), Amy Adams (Vice), Marina de Tavira (Roma), Emma Stone (The Favourite), Rachel Weisz (The Favourite)
well deserved! i would have loved to also see stone or weisz take this as well, but i think the fact that they were both nominated from the same movie just goes to show that this movie had amazing acting, which makes me happy. i’m glad if beale street could talk and regina king’s superb acting abilities are being recognized, as well, therefore i’m pretty happy with this.
Best Actor: Rami Malek (Bohemian Rhapsody) (WINNER), Christian Bale (Vice), Bradley Cooper (A Star Is Born), Willem Dafoe (At Eternity’s Gate) (MY PICK), Viggo Mortensen (Green Book)
willem dafoe… maybe next year, huh? i don’t understand the appeal for rami malek winning. i used to love the man, but things he has done has shown his arrogance, so i’m a bit unsure of him recently. i’m not mad that he won, and it’s a great win for the MENA community (that i am apart of), so for that reason i’m satisfied.
Best Actress: Olivia Colman (The Favourite) (WINNER, MY PICK), Glenn Close (The Wife), Yalitza Aparicio (Roma), Lady Gaga (A Star Is Born), Melissa McCarthy (Can You Ever Forgive Me?)
olivia colman you earned it, fair and square. this was the big win for the favourite last night. as the night got closer to this announcment, i was losing faith and just expected gaga or aparicio to go ahead and take it. and as it got even closer, i just thought aparicio would win. but olivia colman, whew. her acting was stunning in the favourite. her character consumed the movie, as she should have, and she depicted queen anne’s tragedy perfectly. yalitza aparicio’s performance in roma was very good, but i did not feel the emotion from her character as viscerally as i did from olivia colman’s performance. i really thought the night would go on with the favourite winning absolutely nothing, so thank god that they got this, because olivia colman was the clear choice! that film was fantastic, and i’m glad it got a least a little bit of recognition, even though it definitely deserved at least one other oscar (cough) best flim editing (cough). queen anne was hilarious, she was maddening, she was infuriating, she was miserable, she was everything. also sorry glenn close… maybe next time?
Best Director: Alfonso Cuarón (Roma) (WINNER), Yorgos Lanthimos (The Favourite) (MY PICK), Spike Lee (BlacKkKlansman), Adam McKay (Vice), Pawel Pawlikowski (Cold War)
okay cuarón, just give your oscar to yalitza aparicio. no? okay. well then, yorgos lanthimos you deserved it. the favourite was edited perfectly. the delivery of the lines was perfect. the panning from one character to the next, everything about it was done with eloquence. and don’t get me started on the music— every time viola d’amore concerto in a minor, rv. 397 i. vivace started playing just as weisz or stone did something to piss off the other, it was SO SATISFYING! of course i was only rooting for only one of them (especially by the end), but either way i felt what they were feeling in those moments. the music, the editing, the camerawork, the acting, the script… it all worked harmoniously in order to create the masterpiece that was the favourite. also, from a viola player, thank you for making the main theme a viola concerto, yorgos. also in a minor? that’s taste. this directing deserved an oscar win, not just a nomination.
Best Picture: Green Book (WINNER), Black Panther, BlacKkKlansman (MY PICK), Bohemian Rhapsody, The Favourite (MY PICK), Roma (MY PICK), A Star Is Born, Vice
okay here we go… here we go. green book? GREEN BOOK? no. nope. literally any film besides this one please. okay let’s get started… green book is inaccurate, it’s a white savior story, it was a movie that was supposed to be about don shirley, the world class pianist, but instead is about this random fucking cab driver? and don shirley’s family have said that it was inaccurate and that it poorly represented actual events of shirley’s life. as a piano player… i am disgusted. also if you were going to give the oscar to a flim depicting racism… why not give it to blacKkKlansman? you know, the movie talking about racism that was actually created by black people and not just a team of white men? fuck you, green book! i fully expected roma to win, and oh, how wrong was i. roma deserved best picture. green book is a joke. i obviously would have liked to see the favourite win, because a gay movie about GIRLS! would have been nice to actually get some recognition. roma, the favourite, blacKkKlansman. these were the choices that should have gotten best picture. the others, eh. also why was black panther even in the nominations? like, seriously… that should have been replaced with if beale street could talk. and also, since they had ten slots anyway, first reformed should have gotten a nomination as well. this was by far the most disappointing win of the night AND confusing, for me personally (more confusing than bohemian rhapsody winning best film editing, which says something). just a terrible choice. this movie should not have even been nominated, but the academy is dumb. seriously though, NOT roma?
okay that’s it folks, those are my opinions. all in all, not a great oscars. some really good wins, though, like olivia colman’s win and spider-verse. also roma for best foreign. basically everything that was bolded and italics on this post were pretty good wins. but despite that, there were some VERY bad ones.

Heights.
Please give me credit for this or I will bash your head in with a fucking rock, I swear.
I.
“Imperial March.”
P.O.V.: Ryan.
BEEP. BEEP. BEEP.
The alarm that I set for too early in the morning was blaring to wake me up. I slammed a hand onto the small, white alarm clock to get it to shut up. It did. I fluttered my tired eyes open and flicked my attention over to the clock I just hushed. It read 6:30 AM. It was time for me to get ready for the entrance exam at Imperial Heights. I slipped out from beneath my bedsheets and placed my feet on the rough carpet that laid below me. I pushed myself up and off the bed, trudging over to the closet with sliding mirror doors. I yanked my gym clothes off the hangers before quickly changing into them.
I decided to teleport downstairs rather than walk because I feared that I would fall down them and disable myself from testing to get into the school. Elliott was sitting with Sawyer-- when did he get here?-- in the kitchen. They were talking about the school and how the exam would go. Once the two noticed my presence, they gestured for me to come sit with them, seeing as I didn’t have to get to the school until later. I sat in the empty chair that was placed between the two, not wearing my glasses due to forgetting about them. Sawyer noticed this and pushed out to go upstairs and grab my vision. I thanked him softly before placing my chin on the table, yawning softly.
“I take it you’re tired? Did you sleep last night?” Elliott interrogated me, which wasn’t uncommon, him being the head detective at the police station. I mimicked a nod, not lifting my head off the circular table. Sawyer came tumbling down the stairs, wearing my glasses. I couldn’t really see him, but I saw that he was wearing my thin framed glasses. He strutted over to the table, removing my vision and giving them to me. I placed them upon my nose and sat up, Sawyer wrapping an arm around me. I couldn’t show any expression due to how tired I was, but I knew I enjoyed the comfort. I rested my head on the man’s shoulder, trying not to fall asleep right there.
“Don’t sleep on me, Cal,” Sawyer mumbled. I forgot to mention that close friends call me “Cal.” Sometimes they say “Ry,” but “Cal” is more common.
“I won’t… yet, Mr. Bee.” I liked to call him Mr. Bee just because I found it funny. Nothing more, nothing less. Sawyer chuckled before I sat up. I shifted my tired glare over to my foster dad. “Are you gonna be at work today or… actually, no ‘or.’ Just are you gonna be at work?”
Elliott knew that I meant his job in the Police force when I said “work,” seeing as he was also a Paladin. The man nodded silently, taking a small sip at his coffee.  I nodded a bit, too, knowing that I’d be going home with Sawyer until Elliott got home. I glanced over to the bee man who was on the right of me. He gave a lazy smile before sliding the chair out and heading over to the front door. I did the same thing, waving my goodbyes to Elliott. 
Sawyer and I left early so we could get some food beforehand. We placed ourselves on our respective sides in the car before the man I was going with started the car. He pulled the car out of the driveway and headed to the closest McDonald's so I could eat before I went to the exam. I was about to pull out my phone before the teacher spoke to me.
“You’re gonna get into Imperial. There is no doubt. Your telekinesis can’t be used on living things, right? Well, you’re going against robots to get in. Big ones, but your Imperium is strong enough to take them down.” I didn’t know how to react to that. Sawyer spoke so quickly, it took a minute to register what was said. Once I realized that the man was trying to boost my confidence, I felt more obligated to, not only get in, but get top score. Would I be able to, though? I had to. For Sawyer, Elliott, Jay, Joanna… and especially Malachi. 
I felt bad for Malachi. He wasn’t going to get in to our course. I wish I had actually gone through with the plan that I pitched to myself and now I feel like shit for not doing it. I’m sorry Malachi. 
.   .   .
⋘ ──── ∗ ⋅◈⋅ ∗ ──── ⋙
.   .   .
After getting some food at McDonald’s and shoving the food down my esophagus, we arrived at the school. I finished off the last of my water bottle before hopping out of the car. Sawyer followed after me and headed over to the teachers’ area, wishing me well in the exam. I thanked him and placed myself where all of the kids were. I examined each of the faces around me and worried for my safety during this all. Some of these people were scary. One of them had space-colored hair and I wondered if that was a part of his Imperium. It amazed me thoroughly. I headed over to him, wanting to talk to him before I was tackled by a girl with a familiar voice.
“You made it, Ryan!” It was Joanna. She was always glad to see me, no matter where we were and no matter what we were doing. She jumped on top of me, I stumbled to the ground. She began showering me with her friendship. I wrapped one arm around her, pushing myself up with the other. Jay popped his head over the girl’s shoulder to make his presence known. I smiled a bit and waved to him. Once I was standing up, he waved back. Joanna leaned in to whisper something in my ear.
“I pulled it off. He’s here.” I knew what she was talking about. I knew who she was talking about. Joanna pulled off the plan for getting Malachi into Imperial. I processed the scenario before speaking.
“Can he control the power enough to get in?” I asked nervously. I desperately wanted Malachi in the Heights. He was one of my best friends. 
“Malachi!” I heard Jay yell the name that I was thinking. Both Joanna and I directed our attention towards the black haired male who had been running towards us. A smile forced its way onto my face. I ran towards the boy and, once our bodies made contact, we wrapped our arms around each other. I had no idea he would be here until about four seconds ago, so this was exciting.
“Malachi, oh my God. How do you like the Imperium?” I had a million more questions to ask, but we only had about five minutes until the explanation of the exam was going to take place. Malachi pushed himself off of my body and nodded, smiling widely.
“It’s perfect.” I revealed a toothy smile before getting my hair pulled back by Joanna. I yelped a bit before she let go. I held my head where the pain struck the most.
“Give us time with him, Ryan. He’s our friend, too, ya gay-bo.” I rolled my eyes at the girl’s comment about my sexuality. It was true, but I didn’t need it getting out everywhere. As Joanna and Jay interacted with Malachi, I spotted Sawyer heading into the building all of the kids were intently waiting to enter. He gave me a small thumbs up before the door shut behind him.
A door opened before us and a cold rush of air brushed over everyone. That wasn’t a good sign. That meant it was cold as shit in there. The man who opened the door was tall and slim. His face was very freckled and he was wearing some sort of costume that represented a demon. I recognized him as a Paladin named “Speed Demon.” I let out an excited gasp as he gestured for all of us to come inside. All of the kids piled into the ice cold building, muttering about all of the lower-level Paladins and Teacher-slash-Paladins there were inside.
Joanna was frantically searching for her mother, who was a Paladin. Once she landed her eyes on the orange haired woman, she gasped excitedly. She was going to wave to her mom, but she was pushed to go forward.
“Joanna, no. Calm down,” Jay nervously shot towards the black haired girl. Joanna wasn’t one to deal with other people’s bullshit, so she was already in rampage mode, trying her hardest not to blast this kid’s face off. It was a shock to find that Joanna didn’t even attempt to punch her antagonizer. It was a relief, really.
A loud whine could be heard from the microphone as it was turned on. We hadn’t even sat down before they began the explanation. All of the kids forced their way into seats, friend groups (besides ours) were separated. The Idiot Squad, as I called my friends and I, managed to stay together. Malachi sat next to me, which, honestly, sent me into a panic, but I mentioned why earlier, so I couldn’t be blamed. Or could I?
A voice cut through my thoughts, bringing me back to the world. I recognized it, but I wasn’t sure from where.
“Hey, y’all! How are y’alls today?” The southern accent that rang deep within the woman’s voice indicated that it was Joanna’s mom. I was surprised to see Joanna didn’t jump up and bolt down the aisle to go hug the female Paladin, though, a smile did find its way on her freckled features. No one answered the woman’s question. The nervous- ness was obvious in the woman. A soft sigh could be heard coming from the microphone. I couldn’t help but chuckle, which resulted in an elbow being dug into my shoulder. I silently apologized to Joanna before the woman spoke once more.
“I take that as excitement! I’m sure at least some of you know who I am. If not, I am the Number Five Paladin, Origami! Anyhow, I’m sure y’all know why you’re ‘ere? If you don’t, then I’ll ya! Y’all’re ‘ere t’get into this ‘ere institution we call Imperial Heights!” Thalia was super into this speech. She had so much energy, more than usual. It was funny. 
“Lemme explain how this’ll work, a’right? Firstly, let’s go over the point system.” A projection screen appeared behind her. She pulled out a small laser pointer and pointed it at the first image - a silhouette of a seemingly robotic being - before speaking. “This guy ‘ere is worth five combat points. He’s like a spider, too. He can climb walls. Pretty neat.” She  moved the laser to the next silhouette. “He is worth three points. Nothing special about ‘im other than he’s pretty big.” Now the next silhouette. “He’s only worth one point, but there are a lot more of him around. Plus, the small amounts of points add up! There is a no-pointer, so you don’t need to worry ‘bout him! He won’t do much harm. Keep in mind, we will be judging y’all on your ability to use your Imperiums efficiently in a stressful situation as such. Remember to try your best! Good luck to you all.”
At that, the kids cheered and whooped. Most of them stood up, which included Jay and Joanna. I turned to Malachi, smiling warmly before we both stood up, too. The wall that had the projected screen lowered with a loud mechanical hum. This place must be very high tech. Everyone rushed over to the large exit so we could start our exam.
Once we were all outside, we gathered into one large group, somehow the Idiot Squad ending up in the front. I let out a small groan. I hated being in the front of anything, but I ignored that for now. The large area before us all was like a city. It had the same structures as a normal city, one we would fight in. Something was really bothering me, though. The word “robot” was ringing in my head. My powers’ limitations didn’t include robots. Essentially, I couldn’t move any living organism, excluding plants, and robots weren’t living like a human or an animal was. I didn’t want to be first in anything, but I wanted to get in, so I had to at least get in the top five. I was also going to secretly assist Malachi in this. I couldn’t tell him, obviously, but I was going to do it. The buzzer sounded and we were off.  Robots began to emerge from around corners and off of rooftops.  
It was time.

Note
For the OC prof: charlie!
 @somski Thanks for asking! I had a really fun time with this actually! :)
Full Name: Charles “Charlie” Pathos Westerberg
Gender and Sexuality: Male, and he’s pretty gay
Pronouns: He/Him
Ethnicity/Species: Human, Dutch-Irish (dad), Spanish-Armenian (mom)
Birthplace and Birthdate: Port Townsend, Washington; May 5, 1999 (he’s about fourteen in my story though)
Guilty Pleasures: Indulging in over-expensive coffees (he’s a low-key sugar junkie and gets really booschy drinks), really big turtleneck sweaters, buying glasses that look nearly identical but are different colors (he wears big ol’ Pidge Holt style circular glasses and his favorites are the gold ones!), anything caramel, new white Chucks, over-buying books, purposefully goading on the horrible librarian at his favorite library (Mr. Colin is generally a terrible person so at least its warranted), comic bookssssss, webcomics, and being (shyly) affectionate with Addy!
Phobias: SPIDERS, really weird things like random 18th C diseases he’s positive he’ll contract some way even though it’s definitely impossible (he read a book on remedies once and now he’s virtually scarred for life), being unable to pronounce people’s names, the back of his closet at night, bees in general, WASPS SPECIFICALLY, lakes where he can’t see the bottom (fishing accident gone wrong don’t ask), hearing birds on a silent midday morning, and these aren’t really phobias exactly but he’s pretty scared of 1) losing Addy (having him taken away) and 2) his father
What They Would Be Famous For: Saving his library from being shut down, or more specifically (in terms of the narrative he’s in which is, by the way, a story that involves magic where he gets transported into the world of books and helps to save dying literature in a very action-packed manner along with Addy and Penelope!) helping to save the sentient beings of the literary world
What They Would Get Arrested For: Jay-walking tbh, he’s such a big anxious nerd he wouldn’t do anything else (and it would be just his luck too)
OC You Ship Him With: Addy! Who he gets together with at the end of his story! They live together kinda!
OC Most Likely to Murder Him: In his story, Penny would cause she’s constantly putting up with him being a big doofus, but in terms of ALL my OCs? I’d have to say SEBastian, who’s definitely pretty malicious and doesn’t have a problem using people and putting them in harms way so (also he’s kind of sentient technology and not really a person but he’s conscious so I guess that counts?(also he’s in Hogarth’s story!))
Favorite Movie/ Book Genre: Definitely fantasy (but don’t tell Addy that, cause Addy is from the Adventure Genre and Penny is from Fantasy/Romance and he tends to get jealous over Charlie’s favors)
Talents and/or Powers: Charlie, while being as observant as a brick, rather isolated, and confused by social cues at best, he’s creatively a very intelligent person and excels in writing. Also he’s got snark for days so I’ll applaud that here.
Why Someone Might Love Him: He’s bumbling and clumsy (and yes these are very much selling points thank you very much, and he has a very strong set of morals, and he’s sarcastic, and witty, and not-so charming, but its ridiculously cute, and he tries doing stupid things like jumping into a puddle and spilling his drink all over his shirt, but he’s curious and kind and just a big ol’ goof
Why Someone Might Hate Him: Okay so he’s pretty dense? And really awkward? And can sometimes be insensitive without meaning to be, but it doesn’t come off that way because he’s so set in his beliefs, which he definitely needs convincing to abandon.He also struggles to hold his own in a fight? Even after adventuring, he’s still pretty much dead weight in a full on battle (but what he lacks in physical aptitude and consciousness he makes up for with intellect and heart!)
How They Change: Charlie gets a better grasp on repercussions and that his actions, whether or not he believes they’re right, can have serious effect, which hi didn’t always take into account. 
Why I Love Him: He’s snarky and wears big sweaters I don’t see what’s not to love lol
