Mayonnaise Doughnuts

Miles: Hobie, I didn't know you liked baking so much. Isn't it a bit girly? Hobie: Gender is a social construct and learning how to prepare food is a basic life skill. Miles: OK, what are you making? Hobie: The first batch will be full of really disgusting doughnuts, and the second batch will be of really nice doughnuts. Miles: I don't get it. Why is the first batch going to be disgusting? Hobie: The first batch is disgusting on purpose. Watch and learn. *Hobie fills the doughnuts with mayonnaise* Miles: I did that to my dad once or twice. Use tabasco sauce instead. Hobie: What for? Miles: So you can tell whoever's going to be eating it that it's actually just strawberry jam. Hobie: You're an evil genius. Narrator: At the meeting . . . Lyla: Aww, an anonymous Spidey made doughnuts for us. Spider-Cop: Nice! *passes the doughnuts around* What is this?! Why is my throat on fire? Miguel: This is a prank! Whoever did this, step forward now! Hobie, to Miles: You were right, big man.

Okay gang let’s have a one on one.

THIS IS NOT SPIDER-COP. I KNOW HE LOOKS LIKE IT BUT I HAVE A FEELING THAT HE IS ACTUALLY ANOTHER VARIANT THAT I FEEL PEOPLE ARE OVERLOOKING!

Fellas meet the Peter Parker of Earth-9997 (Earth-X). Basically he was the Spider-Cop BEFORE Spider-Cop. The entire story that he’s involved in is pretty interesting and I would rather have you guys do your own research on this storyline, I’m mainly here to point this out.

I think another clear theme of Spiderverse is that, as we’re told in the first movie, anyone can be Spider-Man. But in the second movie, Miguel tells us that Spider-Man has rules. Certain things have to happen, certain people have to die, certain people aren’t meant to be Spider-Man. And the message there is that, once someone makes those kinds of rules, you run. Because it’s just not true. Anyone, literally anyone, can be Spider-Man. There is no requirement. We’ve been shown you don’t even need to be bitten by a spider!

And with the amount of people comparing Spiderverse to the queer experience, this is especially important. There are no rules to being queer. There are no labels that are exclusive. There are no labels that are even required. As soon as someone says you can’t be queer in a certain way, or certain identities don’t ‘count’ for whatever reason, you need to run. They are liars. There are no rules, and there never have been. You are queer because you said so, and this is your decision alone.

If you decide you’re Spider-Man, then you’re Spider-Man. And if you decide you’re going to save everyone you can, then you will. It’s as simple as that.

I feel like a lot of spider-man media doesn’t dive into the vigilante part of being spider-man enough.

I feel as though every spider-person should dislike the police, even by a very small amount. Spider-man is a vigilante at the end of the day, and the cops aren’t exactly well known for accepting vigilantes with open arms.

I refuse to believe that Spider-man goes out every day, stops crime in New York, and isn’t exposed to dirty cops, cops that are assholes, cops that have heavy bias, cops that abuse their power, cops that overall shouldn’t be cops.

Peter Parker puts on the mask every day and, while he acknowledges that being a white man definitely saves him from a majority of problems with cops, as spider-man, he has to deal with cops that scream and shoot, cops that are a little to aggressive when catching someone, a little too okay with letting certain people go on the basis that there wasn’t ‘enough evidence’ yet suddenly are able to buy that new car they always wanted.

Gwen Stacy’s father is a police officer, she personally knows plenty of cops and she trusts them completely in her home, but as ghost-spider, she meets cops that talk down to her despite what she does, cops that dismiss plenty of women’s fear after an attack, cops that say nasty things about their wives when they think nobody can hear them, cops that look at sex workers with far to much disgust when arresting a criminal.

Miles Morale’s father is also a cop, and he treats every officer with respect when he works with the police as spider-man, but he isn’t blind to cops that sneer at black criminals extra hard, cops that are quick to reach for their guns, cops that frown just a bit harder when they pass by black neighborhoods, cops they use ‘us’ and ‘them’ when talking.

I’m not saying that spider-man should hate cops or that every cops is bias, or takes bribes, or abuses their power, I’m just saying that so many spider-man stories forget that spider-man protects the people and that police aren’t exactly the best at treating the people they’re supposed to help calmly and humanly. Just give spider-man that tiny bit of “I refuse to let you prioritize your job over people’s lives” when dealing with shitty cops.

(Please don’t kill me over this)

What kind of girl would Hobie be into? Emo? Shy? Feminine? Punk? What about personality type?

i fully believe that hobie is just into people. that’s it.

personality doesn’t matter, aesthetic doesn’t matter. but what does matter is their beliefs. he cannot be with someone completely out of touch with reality (elitist, hoards money, etc) or someone that’s willingly ignorant to society around them. but other than that he doesn’t have many preferences.

maybe (maybe) he’ll say he won’t get with “a prissy girl” again, but then he meets this girl dressed in pink who’s so sweet and has just a little bite behind her that hobie is dying to have directed towards him and suddenly he’s swinging to the window next to hers, ditching his suit, and pretending to have just climbed up 8 stories.

he loves when someone matches his energy, even if it’s more of a joke rather than a reflection of their actual beliefs. like the time a car wreck happened in front of him, not big enough to cause spider-man to come out and help, and the two drivers suddenly started arguing about who was in the right and who wasn’t. he was immediately making a connection to a societal issue, something along the lines of “if the recession hadn’t happened, we would’nt’ve been here” and there’s someone next to him, sipping an iced beverage out of a plastic cup, nodding along. “what i’ve been saying the whole time” and hobie has just one (1) look and he’s gone.

his mates say he falls easily, he doesn’t believe them until some studious bloke comes into the pub they’re at, stumbles over their order, gives a shy look into hobies direction, and then hobie considers that maybe they’re right.

Hobie turns up to the function wearing this and Gwen and Miles have to act like this isn’t a direct shot at them

[sporkart]

That one part

[milimeters-morales]

Hobie: Miles said he can’t come he’s on probation

Miles: no not this time. my dad only grounded me

Hobie: it’s the same thing

Gwen, who also has a cop for a dad: no it isn’t

Pavitr, who’s dating the daughter of a cop: YES IT IS.

[oldmemoria]

I think these two would be friends probably

[nibeul]

my favorite theory rn is that hobie killed the cop captain that was a part of his "canon event".

Y/N: *let’s out an ungodly scream*

Paul: *comes running into the room* WHA- what’s wrong?

Y/N: there’s a spider right there!

Paul: *even louder ungodly scream*

Why are y’all surprised that borderline capitalists and liberals like Hobie when they hate leftists, especially black leftists, irl 💀

Real people saying these things make them think and feel guilty, when a real person says we cannot thrive or make significant change by utilizing systems stacked against said change, they have to think about their own lifestyles and ideals. When a real person says violence is the answer and money needs to become meaningless, all they think is “but I could get hurt or in trouble” and “but I’ll never be rich”.

When Hobie says it it’s just a character being entertaining. There’s a bit of truth but you don’t take it seriously because you don’t have to. It’s the same way they’re fine with saying ACAB posts and reading books on anti-racism but can’t muster up the courage to tell their friend to stop saying the n word. It’s all cute till it’s you irl, so ppl who know leftists irl and don’t like them will love hobie. It feels like KNOWING Hobie maybe kinda sorta has a point is enough to negate the idea that their complicity in these systems irl is actually harmful.

It’s like that thing where ppl do bad things and think knowing it’s bad is the same as being apologetic and changing or deserving forgiveness.

Like in conclusion, it’s easy to like Hobie when you’re not face to face with someone like him and you’re not expected to do any work. It’s the same thing as yt ppl liking the Medea movies. God forbid a black person is actually loud in public but it’s fine when they’re doing their little jigs just for you.
