Spider isn't getting a "redemption arc" in Avatar 3
Whenever I see Avatar fans talk about their predictions for Spider in Avatar 3, I keep noticing this idea popping up again and again. There seems to be this expectation that there'll be a nasty fall out with the Sully family after they learn he saved Quaritch, possibly even exile or an attempt to kill Spider, and then Spider is going to have some kind of dramatic "redemption arc" to win back their trust, if he's able to get it back at all. Now, I don't think this scenario is completely outside the realm of possibility, BUT at the same time, I have this gut feeling its not gonna happen at all.
Tumblr media
Avatar has an interesting track record with handling betrayal and forgiveness. Most notably, in Avatar 1 there's the whole plot point of Jake actively helping Quaritch plan the na'vi equivalent of 9/11, and then after the truth comes out, the na'vi are angry with him, but Mo'at still shows him mercy and gives him a chance to escape hometree, and after he bonds with the toruk pretty much everything is forgiven. No discussion about it, no questions asked, just forgiveness. This pattern happens again with a character from the videogame, Teylan. Teylan gave the location of the resistance HQ to the main antagonist and got a lot of resistance members killed. Despite this, he's forgiven pretty much immediately.
Tumblr media
To be clear, I'm not trying to argue whether or not Jake or Teylan deserved to be forgiven so easily (that could be its own separate discussion post!), I'm just pointing out that Avatar has a pattern of easily forgiving characters whose actions caused people to die, and Spider's worst crime is saving a life, not taking one.
All this is to say that I don't think Spider is getting a "redemption arc." This idea I keep seeing thrown around where Spider gets cast out of the family and has to do something big to "earn" his way back into everyone's good graces feels like it won't happen. He's going to follow in the same pattern as Jake and Teylan, where his action is discovered, everybody's upset for a bit, but then the plot happens and they just forgive him and move on without really addressing it. Partly because they're straight up not gonna have the time to properly address it. We already know there's a whole bunch of new characters, plot points, and world building that needs to get introduced and fleshed out in Avatar 3. They're gonna skip all the emotional processing that would come with the discovery and jump to everyone forgiving him so they can advance the plot.
Tumblr media
If my gut feeling turns out to be true, I'll be a little disappointed ngl. Don't get me wrong, I'm not one of those folks who believes Spider should be "punished" for saving Quaritch, but I also understand the Sully family, especially Neytiri, are gonna feel betrayed by his action. I wish the movie would take the time to address how they all feel about it, but I can't ignore my gut feeling that it's gonna be resolved just like Jake's betrayal with an "I see you" moment and no hard feelings. But this is just me speculating, so maybe I'll be wrong, who knows. What do y'all think?

Thigh riding 🕷️
you are peer pressured to somehow help Miguel from the hell of a week he's had
w/c: 5.5K
pairing: miguel o’hara x f!reader
tags: 18+ smut, no use of y/n, lil plot, angy Miguel, going in with no plan, pestering, lots of tension, giving in, making out, thigh riding, jerking him off, tasting each other, cum
notes: the beginning of this I reused for “prank” but that was an og idea I abandoned then did end up using 💀
Miguel had been stressed, annoyed, and overworked for the past week and a half. No one even dared to go into his office or bothered to start up a conversation if they saw him walk the hallways of HQ. Not even Jess.
But that didn't stop Gwen from plotting something, because "why not."
"He will literally kill anything that comes within a 100 feet radius of him-" Miles says making me scoff.
"1000." I mutter shaking my head.
"Okay but we need to help him out somehow-" Gwen starts to say and I widen my eyes.
"Gwen, he will literally kill someone on instant impact-"
"Don't exaggerate-" she starts to say and I cut her off grabbing the ends of my mask and take it off for dramatic effect.
"I saw a glimpse of both veins yesterday." I say and shiver in exaggerated horror. "From afar."
They both turn to look at me with widened eyes. "Neck and forehead?" Miles asks with his mouth agape.
I nod and scoff, "So if you want a death wish....."
"I just feel bad-" she says and sighs. "There must be some way we can distract or help him?"
"I mean I feel bad too, it's not a nice thing to see... but what can we do?" I say and sigh.
Helping him or even bothering up to talk to him would be like talking to a concrete wall. Impossible and won't do anything.
"Maybe take him to one of those rooms where you hit garbage with a bat." Miles says and shrugs.
"A rage room? You suggest we take our boss to a rage room?" I ask and laugh. "Then he'd just get offended we think he has anger issues."
"Think?" I hear a familiar British voice speak and look up seeing Hobie walk towards our table.
I snicker then bite my lip. I'll shut up, Miguel could appear out of thin air. "Tell Gwen that we shouldn't be messing with the devil reincarnate."
"She and Miles shouldn't. Hell I definitely shouldn't..... but....." he trails on as he sits next to me and I groan.
"Do not even-"
"Perfect so you know where I'm going with this. Have fun-"
"Absolutely fucking not-"
"But why-"
"I don't wanna die!!"
"No, you won't-"
"He doesn't even have spidey senses and he's somehow just gonna sense the air being different before I even walk in-"
"Calm down-"
"He's fucking built different Hobie I'd be a goner-"
"Calm the fuck down!"
"Do you want me dead?!?" I hiss and he chuckles shaking his head at me and sits across from me.
"What don't you get- listen... he might dislike the rest of us. A lot.. but you're different-"
"Don't say that-“
"It's true and you know it!" He exclaims laughing at my reaction and I bite my lip looking down. There's no way....
I sigh and take a deep breath. Oh god.
"How the fuck do I change his mood though? I can't be too chirpy or pester him. Both are things I'm an expert in but won't help- it'll make shit more fucked-" I whine and groan.
"You can figure it out. You of all people can figure something out...." Miles cuts in and I roll my eyes.
"Come on ara��ita-" he teases and i scoff. (little spider)
"Oh fuck off-"
"See you're the only one that is even worthy of a nickname by the devil." Hobie teases with a smirk and I scoff.
Fuck-
"I never-" I freeze, eye widened. The realization hit me like a ton of bricks.
All three turn to look at me and give me a look. I purse my lips and close my eyes. I’m the only one worthy of a nickname? Really? just me- Did it really have to be me? I mean he does tolerate me. My presence. On a regular basis.... barely...
Shit.
I sigh and look back at them. "FINE." I mutter and stand up.
Gwen lets out a sigh and Miles covers his mouth not wanting to laugh. I glare at him and he lets out a snicker. "Miles Morales-"
"My bad!!" He says and covers his mouth again.
"If you don't hear from me within the next two hours, I'm as good as dead. Hobie you can keep my dog." I say semi jokingly and he nods giving me a thumbs up.
I roll my eyes at him and turn to Gwen, "You owe me one."
She waves me off letting out a laugh and I sigh. "Good luck." Miles says and fake salutes me.
I walk away from the table and instantly hear them snickering. Couldn't even wait for me to be gone-
What did I get myself into?
I let out a deep breath as I walk out of the cafeteria. I'm done for.
I walk the halls of HQ and head over to Miguel's office. i couldn't help but think. I guess it was kind of true? I bugged him but he never got like really mad? It's like he almost didn't mind my company? He's never kicked me out... what did that mean though?
Now the thing about Miguel is he's a very sarcastic, sometimes cold, very angry man. I somehow ended up kind of befriending him by calling him out on shit early on when I was recruited and he hates when I do it but somewhat respects I have the guts to do it at all. I play around with him a lot and at first it bugged him, a lot but then he started doing it back and that's the dynamic we have going.
Now this didn't make me an exception from when he gets pissed like he is now. At least that's what I was thinking..... but after seeing and hearing what Hobie was saying, I was conflicted. But why wouldn't he get mad at me? Because I was barely able to befriend him? I wasn't even close to the level of friendship he has with Jess and even she hasn't dared to talk to him.... or even Peter's friendship with him, and he's been with him through his ups and downs. So it wouldn't make any sense...
I shake off my thoughts and take a deep breath standing outside his door. I peep through one of the windows and he's looking at his screens. So he definitely hasn't heard me... yet.
I open the door as quietly and slowly as I can only to be met with his frustrated grunts at the screens in front of him. I quietly close the door and lean against the wall. He's swiping along muttering swears in English and Spanish making my eyes go wide.
I'm fucking done for. I didn't even come in with a fucking shed of an idea of how to distract him or cheer his ass up. I'm done. Me va gritar, me va chingar, y ni me va hacer caso- (he's gonna scream at me, beat my ass and he's not even gonna pay attention to me-)
Then he turns around to look me right in the eye, making me jump, and snarls, "You're breathing loud arañita, que quieres?" (what do you want?)
"You have some balls to come in here." He mutters before quickly turning back and mumbles, "Chingdada madre-" (mother fucker)
I cover my mouth to hide my nervous laughter and shake my head. I'm fucking breathing loud??? I knew this would happen-
"Be nice Miguelito, I just came to... check up on you.." I say and walk up to him slowly. I felt a bubble of nervousness form in my stomach and my hands were getting sweaty under my suit. This was gonna be bad...
He turns back around to me pressing a button on his watch making his mask disappear, showing me his distressed face and scoffs. "Check up on me? Oh so now I need hawk eyes all over me at all times?"
I gulp and stop just a few feet away from his platform. What the fuck do I even say???
"Do I look like I need checking up on?!?" He says and slams a hand on the desk making papers fly off and a pen roll off to the floor.
My eyes shift from his eyes to the floor to his neck. Oh god the veins... It's only the one on his neck- I'll try to keep it that way...
"Well...." I trail on and take a step up to his platform but still not within range to touch him or vice versa.
He completely turns to look at me and places a hand on his hip with a look on his face. What was it? Curiosity? Annoyance? Anger? I couldn't tell.
"Listen..." I start and put my hands up in defense, "we were starting to get worried-"
"We?"
"Yes. We. A handful of us..." I say and take another step forward and now having to look up at him but still not within reach. Oh fuck.
"And I think you've been in here too long... necesitas relajarte o distraerte." I say softly and put my hands down slowly. (you need to relax or distract yourself)
"Quieres que me relaje? Distráeme?" He asked unamused with a cocked eyebrow. (you want me to relax? To distract myself)
I simply nod and hold my breath.
Fuck fuck fuck.
"And how do you propose I do that?" He asks raising an eyebrow at me and I bite my lip.
That's such a good question....
"hmm... well I actually didn't really have an idea....." I trail on, scratching the back of my neck and he scoffs.
"So you came in here-" he starts but I interrupt.
"Now listen-"
"No, you listen-"
"Miguel-"
"You came here-"
"Yes-"
"With no idea-"
"Well Gwen was getting worri-"
"Gwen-"
"Well me too I guess but-"
"Oh so you were too-"
"Cállate-" (shut up)
"Escúchame arañita-" (listen to me little spider)
"And it's not that I didn't have a plan-"
"Really because it sure sounds-"
"I just didn't think-"
"You never do-"
"Cabron-" (asshole/bitch)
"Latosa." He snarls and I scoff. (annoying ass)
"Mendigo-" I blurt out and cross my arms against my chest. Then it hits me. (asshole but more aggressive maybe bastard fits)
Fuck.
He walks towards me giving me a glare and I freeze. This is it. I've lived a decent life- I got to enjoy my spider powers for as long as I could, helped a ton of people. But this is it-
He steps in front of me and I bite my lip looking at his chest too fucking petrified to look him in the eye. I bring my arms down to my sides and widen my eyes. Oh god why did he have to be so fucking intimidating.
He unfortunately gets rid of my thoughts and takes care of my lack of eye contact by lifting my chin up with two fingers. I gulp and stare into his eyes.
Amusement. Shock.
Then I look down at his lips. A smirk?
Huh?
"Repeat what you said." He demands and I stifle a laugh.
He was enjoying this? Maybe all he needed was a little pestering? Shockingly enough- could he have missed me- nah.... that's a stretch.
I look directly into his eyes and cross my arms against my chest. "Men-di-go." I say slowly making sure to annunciate every syllable exaggeratedly. I purse my lips and widen my eyes slightly.
I'm playing with fire. No- worse- a fucking ticking time bomb.
He raises an eyebrow with a shocked expression and I have the urge to burst out laughing but I don't want to make this any worse. Then in a swift movement his hand is gripping my jaw and my breath hitches in my throat. He tilts his head and leans down so I can't look at anything besides his eyes.
Don't laugh. Don't laugh. Don't laugh.
He narrows his eyes down and I'm on the verge of breaking. I bite my lip, my heartbeat quickens, my cheeks grow red. His stare was intense. Neither of us looking away.
His grip was then softer, for a split second before he takes another step forward making me yelp as my lower back hit one of his desks.
His body towered over mine and his hands were then gripping the desk behind me, or on each side of my body so I had nowhere to go. I was trapped but it didn't feel intimidating. He didn't look like he was going to pounce. I let my hands stay on my sides and I couldn't move. I felt like I was frozen.
What the fuck was this?
My breathing was a bit unsteady and I couldn't do anything. Why'd I feel like I was in a trance?
My mind then took an unexpected turn from being nervous to intrigued. Excited. And I couldn't help but take a close notice of his features. His pretty crimson eyes. His high cheekbones. His thick eyebrows. His full lips. His big nose- we all know what they say about big noses-
No—
I then feel an oh so familiar feeling appear in my stomach and I gulp. Oh fuck.
My eyes slowly made their way down and really took in everything. I've never been so close to this man... ever... I was able to see everything-
His chiseled jawline that genuinely looked like it was sculpted by gods. Then I realized how much bigger and taller he was than me. He was huge. His broad shoulders. His toned chest. Muscular arms. Those biceps the size of my head. Which were all shown absolutely perfectly by his skintight suit. 
Well every inch of him was shown to perfection, accentuating every curve, line, inch of his practically Greek god physique.
I then thought of escaping, my thoughts were going some place they've never been towards him, my breathing was unsteady, but then I felt his hands moving down to my waist making me take a deep breath in. What the fuck??? Que está tramando??? (what is he plotting???)
Suddenly as if a light switched in my brain I realized what I had to offer to relax or distract him.... I felt my cheeks get hot and I shift a tiny bit. Was I really going to-
I slowly looked back up at his eyes and he was already staring at me. He leans down a tiny bit, I could feel him breathing on my nose... I bite my lip and try to calm myself down. There's no way he's thinking the same I am.... Right?
His eyes had darkened and they looked glossy. The look in his eye- it was impossible to miss... oh my god-
I breathe out and slowly move my hand from my sides to go up to his chest. I prayed I wasn't reading shit incorrectly and leave my hands there gently. He didn't stop me. He didn't even flinch. Oh wow....
I didn't know where to go from here- I noticed his heartbeat going all over the place as well. Was he just as nervous as me? Just as excited?
Maybe he's had pent up arousal?
But do I help him?
He leans down a tiny bit more and our lips are now millimeters apart. His grip on my waist was firm and his body was against mine. I could now see the lust in his eyes and I have a feeling he sees it in mine. I was appalled. We've never, ever done anything like this. It didn't exactly feel wrong but it was odd? Different. Confusing. But felt right?
I slowly reach up to wrap my arms behind his neck and look into his eyes then down at his lips. They were right there.
He then clears his throat and I look back up into his eyes. "Creo que ya se como me puedo distraer." He whispers softly, his breath lightly hitting my lips, and I feel myself almost melt. (I think I know how I can distract myself)
So he was thinking the same as me.....
I nod in agreement, not trusting myself to speak and he takes that as his green light. I close my eyes and I feel the softness of his lips on mine. Instant sparks running through my body as I slowly kiss him back. I didn't think I would feel this way- hell I didn't think I'd ever kiss Miguel of all people... but it felt so good and natural...
I felt the flush of my cheeks grow warmer as I felt one of his hands going down to my hips and the other softly wrapped around my neck, and deepening the kiss at the same time.
I move my hands up to play with the ends of his curls and lightly tug on them making him let out a moan. I then slide my tongue into his mouth exploring every crevice as I feel his hands snake down and grope my ass, making a combination of a moan and groan leave my throat.
I feel him smirk before shoving his tongue in my mouth and I melt into his arms. He grabs the back of my thighs and lifts me onto the desk and stands in between my legs. I wrap them around his waist and bring him closer to me which makes him change the pace of the kiss, more passion, hunger, neediness.
I moan into his mouth and he pulls away making me whimper but his lips went down leaving wet kisses on my jaw, then moving down to my neck. I tilt my head to the side giving him more room as he licks a spot then sucking on it roughly making me gasp and grip onto his hair.
He groans against my skin and I feel my eyes fluttering as I feel heat go deep into my core. I was breathing heavily and the way I felt his hand go down to squeeze my thigh, definitely wasn't helping. His other hand was playing with my long hair as he left more love bites on my neck. By this time I felt like my neck was invaded with red marks, he would suck then lick it softly to ease the slight pain and repeat.
His hands were suddenly rougher on me, his hand on my thighs now nearing my inner thigh, trailing up and down, teasing me. He was now tugging on my hair making me head go back and he kissed up my throat sending shivers all throughout my body.
He pecks my lips softly then bites my bottom lip lightly. I cup his cheek and he suddenly picks me up so my legs are wrapped around his waist as he sits us down on the chair he has in his office.
I was sitting on his lap so I leaned down to kiss his neck making my way to his ear and nibble on it. I felt his breathing get harder and a groan leave his lips. I grind myself slowly onto him, I almost stopped when I felt him- he was so fucking hard...
I positioned myself properly and moved to grind directly on his bulge as I went down to kiss down his neck wanting to leave some marks on him. I found a spot and sucked on it harshly before licking it and moving my head towards his throat and kiss up it. I felt a groan against my mouth and I couldn't help but moan.
Why was that so hot?
I felt my wetness moving around between my thighs, I was possibly leaking through my suit- how the hell would that even be possible?
"Así- mm así mami-" he moans out and I move my hips a bit faster. I felt my eyes flutter and I felt like I could pass out already but I knew I had to stay in the moment. (Just like that)
I felt his hands grip on my hips helping me grind against him while my hands were behind his neck trying to steady myself. I moaned against his throat and I felt his hips buck up making his bulge directly rub against my clit. Fuck. "S-shit-" I murmur and feel my eyes closing.
"Would you get mad if I ripped your suit open?" He suddenly asks and I stop. I widen my eyes and I just look at him.
"A-Are you insane-"
"I could have Lyla make you a new one right now-"
"Don't call her now!!"
"I'm just saying-"
I then close my mouth and shake my head slowly. He motions for me to stand up and I get off his lap and stand in front of him with furrowed brows. He gets on his knees then in just a few seconds his hands go to my thighs as he rips the fabric of my suit, between my legs to be more specific. Now I just had a big hole between my thighs. "You owe me a new and improved suit by tomorrow." I mutter and he just chuckled and grabbed the back of my thighs.
He left small kisses on my inner thigh and I felt my legs shake. God how did he have this much of an affect on me-
I then suddenly feel cold and I look down and gasp at the sight. He used his fangs to rip my panties.
My mouth was wide open as he looks up at me with a smirk, my little blue thong between his fingertips. "Oh you sick f-" I start but then he spreads my legs apart and blows a small puff of air against my slit making me quiver.
I whine and he laughs. "Que decías nena?" He teases making me try to squeeze my thighs but he had a strong grip on them. That petname- (what were you saying baby girl?)
From his lips- madre mía- (oh my god-)
"S-sick fuck." I mutter and he smirks.
"Now I still want you riding my thigh... but I need to taste you." He growls and as soon as he finishes his sentence he licks a long strip on my already soaked pussy.
I moan and indistinctly move my hands down to his hair. He licks it softly at first until he went up to my swollen clit and kissed it, licked it then sucked on it harshly like a man that hasn't had dinner for weeks. He definitely was a starved man.
"M-Mig-" I moan out and buck my hips towards his face. He groans against my pussy and his hands grip the back of my thighs harder.
I move my hips back and forth and he continues eating out my pussy. His hands moved to smack my ass for a second and then up to my hips helping me grind against his mouth. "So good Miguel-" I murmur breathless.
He pulls away making me whimper until he brings a finger up to rub my swollen nub and I let out a moan. "Estas más deliciosa de lo que me imaginé arañita." He purrs looking right into my eyes. (you're more delicious than what I had imagined)
I whimper and close my eyes. This is really happening.... Miguel O'Hara is between my legs- I just felt his tongue on my pussy... he is on his fucking knees looking up at me- All it took to distract him was some pussy?
I come back to reality when I no longer feel his touch. I open my eyes to see he's stood back up. I look up at him as he back up to sit back up on the chair. Oh....
With one finger he motions for me to sit on his lap and I don't hesitate to walk back to him and place myself on his lap again. He shifts in the chair to have his left thigh directly on most of the chair then grabs my hips and make me lift one leg over his.
He brings my hips down my pussy now making contact with his suit. I gasp at the new texture and put my hands against his shoulders slowly moving. "Good girl." He purrs and his hands on my hips helping me move making it easier for me.
"I- but y-your suit-" I stammer and try to stop but his hands make me continue moving.
"It's fine." He whispers and presses on his watch and I watch as the lower half of his body is soon exposed as the pixels of his suit disintegrate.
My pussy was now directly on his toned thigh and it felt so good. My eyes begin fluttering again as I move my hips rubbing myself against his now soaked thigh. I then open them again and instantly take notice he's completely bare.
My breath hitched at my throat when I looked at his thick cock that was already throbbing and leaking with precum. I widen my eyes and gulp. There was no fucking way he'd fit... as if he read my mind he chuckles and lifts my chin up to look at him then holds my hands. "We don't have to go all the way- if anything I think seeing you cum will do it for me." He says and I feel my cheeks grow warm.
I subconsciously squeeze my thighs together and he groans. I bite my lip and roll my hips back and forth again, my hands going back to his shoulders to steady myself. He lets out a deep breath and his hands go back to my hips. "Look at you fucking dripping on me pretty girl." He purrs making me blush.
I look down at his cock and bring a hand down to gently grab it then spit on it. I start stroking him with my saliva dripping down a vein and I feel myself getting wetter. He groans, his grip on my hips now tighter as I grind myself faster on him. "M-Miguel-"
"You're doing so good arañita." He murmurs as I stroke him faster letting out moans of my name.
I whimper and feel my thighs starting to hurt but I was also slowly feeling my orgasm coming in. "Asi nena- se siente tan rico-" he praises breathlessly. (Just like that baby girl- it feels so good-)
He lays his head back and I let out bundles of moans and whines on top of him. He bucks his thigh up making me whimper in pure pleasure. My eyes were glossy, my body was growing tired but I was so close and he was too I could tell by the way his cock was twitching in my hand. I lean forward closer to him to have somewhat easier access to jerking him off.
One of his hands lets go of my hip and cups my cheek as he leans in to kiss me roughly. It was the sloppiest kiss I've ever endured in my life but I didn't mind and I kissed him back with just as much of his neediness. He moved his thigh up and down making my tremble and moan against his lips. "No pares-" he mumbles against my lips and I slide my tongue in his mouth stroking him even faster. (Don't stop-)
I feel him groan in my mouth and I melt into his shoulder almost giving out. Both his hands were back on my hips pushing them back and forth as he saw I was slowing down a bit. How kind.
I pull away and l lean my forehead against his, breathing heavily, legs trembling. My orgasm quickly took over making me shake more and let out shaky moans. I stop moving trying to calm my rapid heartbeat as I felt Miguel's grip dropped from my hips and to hold my other hand. Our fingers intertwined and my hand still didn't stop but that's when I looked down at his cock in my hands and realized he was cumming so I slowed down, letting him ride his high.
He let out so many grunts and moans bucking his hips into my hand. His streaks of cum shot up to my hands, his stomach, and my thighs. I chuckle looking down at the mess he made and bite my lip.
It's only fair I get to taste him too.
I bring my hand up to my mouth and lick off his cum that landed on my hand. I hear him gasp when I swallowed and I look up at him with a smirk. "I needed to taste you too." I say and bite my lip.
He snickers and shakes his head. I then notice the slight tug of a smile forming. Jesus.
Oh god- why the fuck did that give me butterflies.... Why did he look so good.
I looked at him, eyes hazed, hair pulled back, he was sweaty but he looked fine. So fucking good.
I can't believe we did that- us.
He was still holding my hand and I feel myself blush. Fuck- well now what?
I let out a sigh and try to stand up but instantly felt the pain in my thighs. "Fuck-" I groan and sit back down on him.
"Come here I got you." He says softly and moves my left leg over.
I lay my head against his shoulder and I feel him slowly lifting me up. I wrap my arms behind his neck and nuzzle between his chest. I felt fucking exhausted. "You did so good arañita." He whispers and I fight back a smile.
He walked up off deeper into his office, probably taking us to his room considering he completely fucked up my suit and my whole pussy was on display. I pull away and point at him. "New suit-"
"Yeah yeah yeah- para mañana. I got it." He retorts and I laugh. (For tomorrow)
He placed me down on his bed and I yawn. My body felt so sore and I look down at my thighs. Still had his cum on me... I bite my lip and shake my head in disbelief. How did this happen?
He walked over to his dresser and grabbed a shirt and some sweats. I scoff and shake my head. "Those won't fit."
He rolls his eyes at me and throws them at me, I catch them before they can whack me in the face. "Rude." I mutter and start talking off the remains of my suit.
I grab the ends from my neck and pull it down my body. Thank god I decided to wear a bra today.
"Where the fuck is my-?" I start to say then look up at him mouth agape.
I look at his hand and sure enough there it is. My thong. "Give it-"
"Ask nicely."
"I literally just helped distract you from your shitty ass week- dámelo!!!" I demand and stand up somehow gaining the strength to walk over to him. (give it to me!!!)
His eyes gaze down at my bra and I roll my eyes. "Want the matching bra?" I tease and he smirks.
"Well it is only fair I get bo-"
"Estas loco- now give it!!!" I whine and reach for it but unfortunately he was faster than me and lifts it high above my head. (You're crazy-)
Why did he have to be built like a giant at desperate times like this....
"I have an idea-" he starts but I interrupt.
"Dámelo latoso." I say sternly and he scrunches his nose. (Give it to me annoying fuck)
"You're not convincing me very well..." he trails on and I shake my head.
"Fine." I say walking back to his bed and putting on the clothes he gave me.
I slip on the big sweatpants and groan. I pull on the drawstrings to the tightest it can go and tie it. "It looks like I have no ass-" I whine and roll my eyes.
I quickly slip on the shirt and take off my bra. I slip the straps off my arms through the arm holes and then take the bra off from under. I throw it at him and with ease he caught it.
"Maybe this'll be how we can calm your ass down...." I say and give him a wink before walking out of his room.
"You're the perfect distraction arañita." He calls out and I bite my lip.
I take a few steps and I was back in his office before I quickly ran out. I open the door, slip out then close it. I lean against the door and can't help the smile the appeared on my face. Wow.

On a personal level this week has been a very mixed bag but I know that if nothing else got me, this show got me. It's gonna come in clutch for me every time, spider bites and potential hauntings be damned.
I. Love. It. Here.
Tumblr media
Will I ever not take psychic damage from the expression Tongrak makes when Mahasamut tells him that he cares about him? The answer is no. It's wonderful and devastating every time.
Tumblr media
"How would you rate me out of 10?" Mahasamut asks while Tongrak's face plots teasing and mischief.
Tumblr media
Opening a safe shouldn't look so much like staring down the gallows but here we are. Not being able to see how Tongrak's hands were shaking in a screenshot is a blessing.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The panic and terror on this man's face when he saw the read receipt on his phone is something I never want to see again. My hatred for Rak's piece of shit sperm donor is murderous and profound. How actually fucking dare he put this look on his child's face I'm going to kill him with my bare hands.
Tumblr media
Peat's acting is so genuinely good that it hurts me. Tongrak was trembling so much that he was struggling to put the phone away and when he gets back to his room, he practically tries to crawl into Mahasamut's skin to hide and feel safe. Look at him, he looks so tiny and scared and I want to cry.
Tumblr media
Let us take a break from the sad with this supremely horny shot of Mook unzipping Vivi's dress. Everyone say thank you.
Tumblr media
And pour one out for our girl, as is now a weekly custom. Vivi my girly is dying CONFESS TO HER AND MAKE OUT ABOUT IT.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
"I'm not going to the event! >:(" Yes you are, mi alma, look at your face when Mook threatens to quit.
Not pictured: One (1) resigned sigh
Tumblr media
The grumpiest kitten in the whole venue.
Tumblr media
Tongrak: *complaining* Mahasamut: *heart eyes*
Tumblr media
My favorite moment of the face journey Tongrak goes on when he realizes just how good Mahasamut looks and that he will be Perceived and decides to mess up his hair about it. The grumpy kitten is a jealous jellyfish.
Tumblr media
It's the fact that Tongrak looks surprised that his fans like his books and have consumed his entire body of work. I'M GOING TO SOB.
Tumblr media
The smile is polite and professional but the eyes are sparkly. He genuinely enjoys interacting with his fans.
Tumblr media
The proud husband smile means everything to me.
Tumblr media
THE LOOK OF ABSOLUTE LOATHING AND DISGUST! INCREDIBLE PHENOMENAL OUTSTANDING.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
IF YA'LL THINK I'M NOT GONNA MAKE A SEPARATE POST ABOUT HOW MUCH I LOVE THIS MAN YOU'RE SO FUCKING WRONG
Tumblr media
If I have to have this demonic nasty hell witch on my screen, at least I get to watch her face make this expression after Tongrak calls her out for imitating him because he got it right on the money and she knows it.
Tumblr media
Tongrak and the visceral hatred in his eyes said play me another waltz I'm tired of dancing to this one.
Tumblr media
God love you, but you look so tired.
This entire scene was more brutal to watch than the fight outside of Tongrak's house. It was obvious that something more was going on from how calmly he was speaking and how non-responsive he became toward the end of it, but look at his hands. Look at how tightly they're clenched. Maintaining his composure while Prin stuck that knife in his wounds and twisted it as viciously as she could cost him, and it would be obvious even if we hadn't already seen them fight.
Tumblr media
Tongrak, you're my fighter. He still looks tired because he is, but he also looks like the imperious ice prince he's had to be to survive. Then the utterly dismissive way he turns and walks out and cuts eye contact?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
We can barely see Nouel's smile but it's so clearly saying "bruh that's cringe".
Tumblr media
He's not just my fighter. He's Mahasamut's fighter, too.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Do ya'll remember how Tongrak was acting when he first brought Mahasamut to live with him and Vivi was teasing him?
Look how far they've come.
I can't quite articulate how, but the way they look at each other has changed, and I don't just mean because they're being lovey in front of Vivi and Mook. There's this undercurrent of sweetness that wasn't there before, even in private. That scene way back in episode 3 where Tongrak told Mahasamut to ask him to stay on the island which had so much softness and fondness to it did not have that same something that's now present.
I'm gonna leave ya'll with that and then go take more screenshots so I can properly scream about Mahasamut. And let me know if you wanna be tagged in these weekly writeups!

Animorphs Reread- The Invasion (pt 2)
Okay pt 2! Here we go:
KAA REALLY loves the animal parts of this series. But also her descriptions of the morphing process and the mentality of the kids in morph definitely inspired my own artistic voice. The descriptions of visuals and the flow of consciousness between human and animal inspired my own writing in a way I had not noticed in real time.
If Homer the dog can smell traces of yeerk, why did they never utilize this skill in the future? Did they ever use this again? I get that Jake hasn't fully connected the dots just yet, but later he gets proof that Tom's a controller. And he knew that he smelled something off. Seems like an experiment worth funding, considering the circumstances.
I know I've already said I don't really like Jake. But man, the fact that his friends show him a news article and then all have to take turns telling him to read the next part. Come on, Jake. Can you not just read? And then they all have to draw the conclusions for him? This is the leader?
I feel like Cassie is painted as this magical, wise, mature girl who fights for the Earth, blah blah blah. But I love that on their first day, she morphs a horse (presumably while hanging out with Rachel), and then goes "Hey Rachel, you go meet the others, I'm gonna gallop in from the distance and then show off how good I am at this morphing process".
I also love the scene of the kids voting on what to do. Marco (obviously) is a firm no to joining the fight. And he has good retorts to each of the others to try and sway anyone in the group. Rachel realizes how big this is and at first suggests getting help, but then realizes that's not an option and immediately steps up to fight. Tobias (obviously) is a firm yes. And forms his first connection with Rachel. Cassie wants to help the animals. She's already thinking long term about life after the war. And when the others conflict, she keeps peace by suggesting they sleep on it. And I gotta hand it to Jake, he does know his team, even this early. He sees what they're doing and what they're thinking. This is probably part plot device so that the reader can also know everyone. But he is the common link amongst the others, so it does make sense.
I made it through the whole morph sequence and the eating of the spider, and the tail coming off. But the "The spider gave a kick in my stomach." got me gagging.
"Idiot teenagers with a death wish" - roll credits. "Animorphs," - post credit scene
The duality of Marco being the most aware of the danger/death and the one who keeps all their spirits up with jokes. Parentified children rise up.
Rachel: This is no where near as dangerous as the consturction site. Cassie: He'll call my mom! *Everyone scatter!!!*
The battle is such a beautiful introduction to each of their fighting styles. Rachel going full Hulk. Jake strategizing. Marco moving decisively and just punching anything that gets in his way. Cassie trying to save the humans and hork bajir before she even joins the fight. And Tobias swooping from above.
Cassie might not have killed the policeman (he might have been killed by accident and she just witnessed it). But I think it's a more powerful read if Cassie is the first animorph to actively murder another human being.
God I love this series. It had such a profound affect on me growing up. And I'm so looking forward to a group read y'all.

In honor of Across The Spiderverse going digital, here's the Beyond the Spiderverse Prediction Bingo!!!!
Tumblr media
Explanations below the readmore:
Spider Ham's Chekov Hammer: simple enough to guess, I'm just really waiting for that to pay off, preferably over Miguel's head.
Spider Noir and Hobie get along: just some good ole' fanservice.
Miles G. is actually a dork (he's just better at hiding it. mildly): Wow, great introduction Miles G.! Very suspenseful and intimidating!! Let's see how long you can carry that demeanor without breaking.
Margo / Miles (Miles G.?) / Gwen Love Triangle (Pavitr is annoying about it): Pass the popcorn everyone. How resentful will be Miles when he meets Gwen again? Is getting the spider-band together enough for him or is it just the first step into making amends? Maybe he feels more grateful towards Margo (and Hobie) and will give Gwen (and Peter B.) the cold shoulder for a while. Will Miles G. also enter the ring? Maybe this one really cute comic by @bubblypinkfreak will become true.
Jess Drew Subplot (baby is born?): REAL interested in finding out why Jess would ever follow an asshole like Miguel. Also she deserves more plot relevance. And fanart. Aaaaaand I kinda want to see her husband too.
The Spot Collapses in on himself: Gonna be honest with you, people, I have no idea how they'll fight him, this just seems like the cleanest solution.
Miguel's actually just as much of an anomaly as Miles: My own personal theory, not really based on anything concrete beyond some flags I get from Miguel and some stuff I'll explain later. Basically, I think Miguel's projecting on Miles, and that's part of why his beef towards him is so intense. The only explanation I can think of is that he destroyed his original dimension, not just the one with his daughter in it, and the serum we see him take is what keeps him "stable" and "belonging" to Nueva York. Or you know, maybe just the watch, but the serum is more sus to me.
Gwen Stacy Fall Subversion: Either Gwen completes her character arc by saving Miles from falling to his death or she saves herself, thus breaking her karmic cycle of getting fridged.
Meows Morales cameo?? Pretty Please???: C'mooooon he became instantly popular and he's adorable!!!!! <3 <3 <3 bonus points if multiple miles help out to fight against Miguel's squad later.
We spend some time on Hobie's dimension: No idea how the plot would get there, but the concept art of Hobie's dimension is fire and I want to learn more about him <3 <3 <3 tell us why you almost gave up the mask, darling, and did you kill a cop in your dimension? <3 why would you feel bad about it? <3 <3 <3 <3
Gwiles Morales (he hates that name): Apparently this is how some of the staff called him. Poor guy.
The Spider-Band fights Earth 42's Sinister Six: For those who don't know, they control Earth 42, as confirmed by the art book. Nothing better to sweeten Miles G. to our heroes' side than taking care of them. Bonus points if one of them is explicitly a fascist and Hobie and Noir punch him together.
Miguel Bites Someone: bonus points if it's hot as fuck. Sorry but it's true.
Lyla's the real bad guy (beyonder): I'm gonna let moviebob do the heavylifting here. Could tie to that personal theory I explained above.
Peter B. vs Miguel fight redemption: ok this one I'm biased for because I personally find Peter B. more morally culpable than Gwen in their whole drama with Miles seeing as he's the adult with a kid. But also yeah, good chance for him to redeem himself in Miles eyes (or not! maybe Miles wants more from him that just standing up to a bully) and take Miguel down a peg. Bonus points if he looses a leg, because apparently that's something that happens in Spidergirl's comic.
Prowler!Hobie somehow: Not saying our Hobie will turn into the prowler, just that the connection will be addressed somehow. Idk man, it just feels like positioning Hobie as another mentor for Miles is very deliberate.
Miles feels guilty about Earth 42: Juicy source of drama between him and Miles G. as well as a free character arc about how responsibility is more than just cause and effect.
Miguel tries to redeem himself by dying but Miles won't allow him to: Miguel O'hara has several problems, and I speculate they all come from his self-obsession. Everything about the spider society is about him erecting structures dedicated to his pain to turn himself into the martyr holding reality together. So if he's finally proven wrong, it seems pretty in character to me that his idea of making amends would be to do the same thing one last time for "the right cause", being the diva he is and how he thinks you can sacrifice one person to save everyone else and all. I don't think Miles will allow that, though. Bonus if the scene parallels the one in into the spiderverse when Miles returns Peter B. home.
That one @cheezthatboiii comic / Mileswitch: because what's the point of having a twin if you can't fool people about it?
Gonzalo/Gonza Morales: The correct alternative to Gwiles if anyone during production has braincells or is latine.
Margo Subplot (family issues): confirmed in the artbook that she ended up having more plot relevance than originally planned, and even if that wasn't the case she deserves it. And more fanart.
The Spot is defeated with kindness: Ok. Before I said that I don't know how the Spot could be defeated with violence, but maybe that's not needed? He is clearly a foil to Miles after all, and I think it would do him (Miles) a lot of good to practice some radical empathy, even on someone who kinda doesn't "deserve" it. This isn't so much about him being ""redeemable"" (fandom has ruined that whole concept) so much as how much empathy the narrative is willing to grant him.
Jeff meets Gonza before Miles reveals to him that he's Spiderman. He's confused by having 2 sons: this just feels to me like the most probably sequence of events given the franchise's usual use of bathos and subversion of expectations.
Spider Support Network Finale: No more spider society authority "correcting" the multiverse, every spider-person gets a watch so their friends can come over and lend a hand and prevent as many deaths as possible.
Aaron 42 gets severely injured/dies: I don't want this to happen, it just seems like a way of trimming some fat in the cast and getting some more drama from Gonza.

One thing I've never seen Gwen haters offer is an alternative
Like no deadass what do you expect her to do. Give me a synopsis of a plot where she doesn't side with the Society. Like any kind of vague plot in which her helping Miles actually works
Even try to imagine it. Can you???
She goes over there and tells him and what-
Miguel finds out because he can spy on people so he disables her watch and now she's at risk of glitching out in Miles universe??? Nearly killing her??
Deconstruct the watch herself despite the fact she came to the Society with the Spider-suit on her body and nothing else???
Any scenario in which she tries to help Miles would most likely end up with her not only homeless but with a disabled watch.
And if she isn't in her universe then she has maybe a couple days tops before she goes the way of Gabriella.
Like people will give a dozen reasons to not like Gwen and they say 'she should've helped Miles!!'
And you're like 'okay and then what'
And they're like
Tumblr media
like I get it I too enjoy being a hater but if you're gonna be a hater just be one don't sit here and try to convince me you think this child is capable of making emotionally informed decisions in the slightest
Tumblr media Tumblr media
At some point Miguel had to tell her about her dad dying as a canon event leaving Gwen with the knowledge she's a soon to be orphan and she STILL STAYED
I don't think she's there cause she doesn't care about Miles I think she's there cause she thinks if she even goes home her dad might either 1) arrest her or 2) accept her and die

Got a shameful confession to make.
I deleted SH2 from my PS5 in a moment of frustration. Surprised even myself, as a fool who loves ultra hard permadeath. But I was twice a fool, you see, I forgot that I only like the combat to be harder when I like the combat. I really could've started out on normal and fixed it before plunging in in all my hubris. But that's only a part of the problem.
I hated fighting in this game from the start. The enemies felt like bosses on their, where they felt like they needed to flesh each and every one of them out but didn't think about how everything else functions in tandem. How survival horror tends to encourage you to run and makes it novel when you're forced to fight something. When you choose to see if you can make it after killing all the enemies in an area and being rewarded with more opportunities to explore unimpeded. SO WHAT IS THIS!
Why do so many enemies launch themselves at you, take these strange unnatural strides to close the difference, and do weird lil combo attacks? While it was just little annoying for most of the game, I think it got frustrating towards the end in the labyrinth. Namely, the mandarins.
Okay, I get it. The mandarins in the OG were kinda forgettable. It was a rare sight for them to even flick their tongues and they just kinda added noises to make you more uneasy. That does not excuse whatever foul evil their roar is in the remake. I don't know what sicko thought it's funny to disable you during combat. It isn't always this bad, though. And I'm gonna surprise myself further: I'm gonna make a positive comparison to RE6.
There is a screamer (or shrieker or yeller or whatever) enemy that stuns you temporarily, but with two players, one of you can divvy up the load, kill the hoarde of zombies. Then the other can focus entirely on the screamer. The screamer is also an above-ground enemy that despite its running around is still easy to see and kill. My friend and I still fussed about it; however, we mostly found it funny.
The new mandarin, though, just keeps spamming roar. And I feel like this would be better if there was one per area, but there tends to be multiple. And it's so LOUD. I turned my controller all the way down, tampered with different audio settings, yet that thing is absolutely shooting a shorty directly into my ear canal every two seconds.
It's under you too, so the best bet tends to be smashing it until it falls. But then there's two of them, and with how fast things tend to move in this game, it's difficult to divide and conquer. In the rotten labyrinth, I was the MOUSE.
This is another thing that's a problem for me, and might not be for most other people. Migraines and vertigo be tearing me up. And that roar attack was absolutely not helping. Who am I fighting? The Warden?
I love the mannequins, but what is with this remake and making everything a spider? It's more funny than irritating.
Also, why can't I take health items from the main menu? Maybe it's different on lower difficulties but if not...you are not RE7 baby. You will never be RE7 despite putting bugs on everything.
I would say that I enjoy most of the remake bosses. Pyramid Head's first fight was real good. Abstract Daddy wasn't bad at all. The Flesh Lips, though...
When it dropped down and started crawling, it was comical. I remember going, "I think we lost the plot." The original ones were pretty freaky, what with them sliding around like they were on some rails. But it falling down and turning into a spider was so in your face. I hate to sound like an insane homophobe who goes, "WHERE'S THE SUBTLETY!" when a gay couple is just existing, but "WHERE'S THE SUBTLETY!"
Something similar happened with all the bugs in the labyrinth. The sheer amount of them was also incredibly funny. Are you afraid of bugs, little man? There will be so many bugs. Then you will be so many afraid.
Which brings me to my next point (that flowers out into fifty other points). Whenever they have something good, they seem to want to do a lot of it. Like everyone knows about the holes. It's literally Silent Hole 2.
But James hesitancy gets on my nerves after the first time. I think they were trying to make him seem really normal. Maybe for new players who don't know the twist. Because how could this NORMAL GUY kill his wife? He's so NORMAL! He is afraid of jumping down the hole. He is afraid of reaching in the hole. He is wearing a plain jacket..he is very obviously sad at this sad situation. He is so expressive instead of being flat.
JUST JUMP IN DA HOLE LIL BRO
You're supposed to be scared the first time. Like reaching in the hole, you don't know what's in there. It's gross hole. So gross. And James apparently doesn't like playing with slime; therefore, he's a little scared and retracts before going in again. Or he tries to see the bottom and briefly considers if he's really gonna do it. Then he does it, and it's over. And he's fallen so far down that he just does not care anymore.
So have your little scene of him being scared at first. Then don't make too much of a fuss every other time, because then you're just wasting time. Especially when you don't subvert it.
And boy, does this game waste time. The OG had flash in the pan animations. But a lot of the new cutscenes/action animations are a slog that don't add anything.
There's so much padding in-between I feel like if I hadn't played it before, I would've forgotten the entire story.
Why in the world does the labyrinth need many floors? I'm on the desolate one but I felt tired of it. I took a break from God of War Ragnarök to play this and now I'm that person who cheats on their partner then complains that their mistress/mantress isn't good to them.
Originally, I related to SH2 because of the great depiction of Major Depressive Disorder. Now, I relate to SH2 by it making me relive having fight in me to just saying, "Man, I make it through what I'm in right now? Who cares about the future."
They should replace those callbacks shots with the stupid EEEUUU sound with James commenting on everything too. I mean, I'll begrudgingly accept the over the shoulder camera rather than fixed despite the glitching/issues I faced when trying to pick up items. But I feel like James having something to say was nice as it added something to see his thoughts. Not to mention having nonspoken lines vs spoken lines was one of the things that stood out to me in the OG. It made sense for commenting on items, but sometimes James would silently observe things (like Laura passing by the hospital), and it was creepy when he said nothing. Now he talks too much, yet somehow doesn't say enough.
For the most part, I would say that I don't need everything from the OG to be in the remake. But I noticed that Eddie's character has been stripped down. I'm yet to fight him. I didn't see any football posters in his vomit room or other things that are indicative of his personal hell. As much as I'd love to hear, "I HATE bowling," that doesn't feel important to Maria's character. But what got Eddie in this mess IS important to his character, and if we want us to consider this as something that can stand on its own, I feel like I'd view him as a lacking character.
Also I do not like James new face when it makes all those...expression. I gagged at the part where Pyramid Head knocks you off the hospital roof. His frowns were like those 200% face rigs people mod RE2RE with. Scariest part of the remake hands down.
All in all?
Probably a 5.5/10. It would've been a 6.5/10 but then they made me put the plank away. :(
One whole plank point off.
As I haven't beat it yet though? That's a real shaky rating. After I beat it and replay it on different difficulties, I might change my mind. First impressions are overrated anyway lol

Hi there @asksythe! New FGO (NA) player here, been playing for 3 months since April, and I just wanna say... Lies and His Wife Truth is AMAZING! I love the dynamic between sussy Oberon and Ritsuka and the feels they're making me experience. I LOVE just how DEMONIC Oberon can be without Ritsuka's interference, like Aurora had it coming but GOD DAMN dude I bet he made the Red Wedding look silly (A Melusine POV for this plot point, perhaps?). So many questions, the mystery surrounding these two is killing me!
Can't wait for you to update, I want to see the flashbacks (the SEGGS) and the Divorce Arc (it's gonna shatter me, for sure).
QUESTION:
Not related to your works but about LB7, You see I haven't started out that yet in fear of ORT, like I only have 101 (as of the moment) servants in my disposal and half of them aren't fully ascended yet (its those stupid fangs, shields, chains and bones). I'm planning to ascended them all of course, but its the skills and number of servants I'm worried about (most of them still sitting 1/1/1 💀)
Just wanna ask how many servants you have when playing LB7, how many you sacrificed (Spider and UFO phase), and are they're skills 10/10/10?
I want to finish the story til OC1 by the end of July or early August, because college is a bitch and I fear I won't be able to play due to studying.
Anyways, I love your work and hope you update soon🥰!
Oh hey! Glad you enjoyed it. I had about... hmmm, 200 servants when I did the Ort marathon fights. They were all fully leveled. All of my 5 stars are 10/10/10 skilled, and all of them have at least 1k fou to both their atk and def. They all have their second append skill unlocked too. My 4 stars... I haven't full skilled all of them, but I have leveled up all the NP battery skills to level 10. Same for my 3 star and down servants. Anything having to do with NP battery, leveled. The rest is more still in progress, depending on what kind of resources I have at the moment and how much I want to save for future rolls. I would say... assuming you have completed LB6, passing Ort with 101 servants is... difficult, but I think still doable. I would recommend you invest in a good starting NP CE. A Kaleidoscope, if you have one. If you don't, the 4-star CE Imaginary Number Magecraft is also a good option. These CEs allow your servants, even low rarity, low-skilled ones, to fire off their NP at Ort at least once. My Ort run, I used my low rarity servants first and at the end, I had only worked up to my welfare 4-stars, with the rest of my 4 stars and 5 stars having never had to enter battle at all. P.S: Melusine doesn't get to see the fallout of the Wind Clan and Aurora in Lies. By that time, she was already sitting in Morgan's dungeon following the Summer Solstice incident. It was her good behavior that saved Aurora's life once Oberon was done with all the Wind fairies... or at least that's the official story from Morgan's court. But yes, Melusine does get a front seat view to what monster Aurora poked in the eyeball.

well now I'm on a roll so I'm gonna keep going lol
re: my last post I guess
It is actually pretty fucked up how so many WOC in Spidey comics get just like! Fucked over! Especially when it comes to being love interests! Which isn't like an outlier because love interests are very common in Spider-Man comics -- it comes with the territory of "the best stories in Spidey could be a soap opera plot".
The most egregious example is obviously Sha Shan. Yes, she is a product of her time but let's be real, the White Savior stuff is just cringeworthingly bad. Do I get why she and Flash and their relationship are written the way they are? Do I recognize that in some ways Flash was just trying to repay her for her having saved his life in Vietnam? Yes to both, but there's really no excuse for the way their relationship just imploded in the 80s. Why couldn't they just have a normal breakup. Marvel, please. And of course she's been mostly shelved since then.
Next we have Glory Grant. Does she ever become Peter's love interest? No, but around the time of Inferno she does get into a pretty serious relationship with Eduardo Lobo. It's complicated (he's a mutant/werewolf, also organized crime shenanigans) but she loves him! And she's a huge romantic! She wants to be swept off her feet! Eduardo is dashing and adores her and guess what happens. She accidentally kills him while meaning to shoot Spider-Man.
And then there's her relationship with Randy -- I never understood why they got together tbh. To me it always felt like Mackie just stuck them together because he wanted to do something with Randy post-divorce without actually considering either of their personalities or compatibility. But at least she had a normal relationship I guess.
And after that, nothing. Nada. Zip. Zilch. How do I know? Because I read every single one of her appearances.
MOVING ON.
We get to Miss Arrow, who was actually Ero, an aspect of The Other. (Don't worry about it.) Anyways, while she was not actually a Human Being, she did take on the appearance of a woman of color, so when it turns out she's been manipulating Flash the whole time she was pursuing him and she's going to forcibly impregnate him? (yeah, really, that was the plot.) Like, oh, okay. I guess here we are. But we can't get any worse, right?
WRONG.
Enter the impeccable and stunning and beautiful and gorgeous and perfect Lily Hollister. (I am very normal about her.) She's introduced as Harry Osborn's latest squeeze. While the narrative initially tries to paint Harry as some kind of playboy (lol. lmao, even) it's clear he's REALLY into her. Or at least he thinks he is. We can dissect the comphet another day. But, lo and behold, it turns out a good chunk of her motivation for sticking around was because she's secretly Malice! AKA a supervillain!
That's the worst it got though, right? WRONG.
Then there was the whole subplot where it's revealed Lily slept with Norman Osborn, she's pregnant with probably-Norman's-child, blah blah blah I don't wanna talk about American Son. There's a bit of a course correction in Origin of the Species but let's not pretend she didn't get royally fucked over by the narrative. And she STILL hasn't recovered. (The whitewashing is terrible in many comics.)
Since then I honestly can't think of any WOC love interests in Spidey that have had any kind of prominence. Even on the symbiote side, we have (checks notes) Manuela Calderon, who hasn't appeared since Conway's Carnage series, even though Vicki Montesi has been around. Flash's latest paramour is Aria, who I love, but she doesn't even have a last name! We don't know anything about her! Yes I want to write half a dozen fics about her anyways but LET'S GET SOME CHARACTERIZATION!!!!!!
So many of these wonderful gals we don't get to know things about them - what are their life goals; their hobbies; their dreams and desires.
Of these, Glory is the best developed, but she's also been around since the 70s. I would argue that the fact that she's not a love interest most of the time has meant she occasionally gets development. But we should be able to have both! Women like Betty, Liz, obviously Mary Jane and Felicia, all get a chance in the spotlight. No, it's not consistent, and yes their stories have issues as well, but at least they have stories. We get to see them in love and heartbreak, often in great detail!
The Spidey office can and should do better by its ladies of all colors -- and not just relegate them to "sacrifice" or "surprise supervillain"!

The Venture Bros. #54: “Bright Lights, Dean City” | October 10, 2010 - 11:30PM | S04E13
Look, I can either cynically crap these out or simply not do them! The choice is your
This is the other half to “The Postman Always Hanks Twice” or whatever that episode was called. We see Dean Venture doing an internship and making a name for himself in the big city. We further the plot line of The Revenge Society, now operating in semi-secret towards the ultimate goal of killing everyone that wronged all the guys in there. We see Jonas Venture Jr. working on Gargantua-2 and that's gonna come back later! That's what we call "breadcrumbing" :D
Meanwhile, Rusty Venture is showing up all the dang time because he wants to write a Broadway play or something. There’s a spider-man guy, voiced by some wretched dork who was on a show that other wretched dorks like. I like the spider-man bits, as well as the parade of loser bad guys who have bad ideas for their bad guy stuff. 
Some of these episodes are a bit of a hodgepodge and don’t feel like they come together that well, even though moment-to-moment is perfectly enjoyable. I like a lotta stuff in this one. We also find out why there was another venture bros. Guy at the end of the previous episode: it was because of something weird. 
Do we like the DVD??? This one has deleted scenes, and what’s interesting is that there are a couple of fully-animated bits. Sad to lose Beastradamus. 
EPHEMERA CORNER: 
Tumblr media
New York Comic-Con: Venture Bros. (October 8, 2010)
Isn’t it nice when the ephemera actually lines up with the thing. LOOK, and LISTEN!
MAIL BAG:
CHICKEN JOCKEY!
I do not want to participate in this vile meme
people are getting baby crazy these day. if you had a baby and had to name it after an adult swim character who would you pick. do a funny answer (for the blog!) and a real answer.
A funny answer for the blog? My, what a splendid idea! I am childless by choice and about to be spayed and despite what you may have heard NO--I'm not bi. I would name my son Meatwad and make him talk like that on purpose and then I'd make mincemeat out of him muahhahahah 0_o
thoughts on MDE: World Peace?
I find most of it to be way unfunny. Sorta like Chris Morris' Jam was trying to be more provocative than laugh-out-loud funny. I do think it's interesting to look at like a piece of art even though I mostly don't like it. I ultimately have no big desire to sink deeper into that world, but I also don't find their presence to be particularly threatening. The Pick-Up artist sketch is really good though, from what I remember, and I'd consider that to be the show's crowning achievement. The only other sketch that made me laugh was the one where Sam Hyde wears blackface, so I will forever be barred from the high horse.
Do you write your own mailbags? It almost feels like it. Especially on episodes you don't think are funny you are trying to show off how much funnier you are. It's fine, some of it makes me chuckle. It's just weird.
I write none of these bags. I do not like being a show-off in this way. I mostly like to show people my toys I got. Like I'll just pick them up with my teeth and go up to company and hold it up so they can see it and then yank it away real fast and runaway with it and then go get another. It's not weird. I'm normal and nice
follow me on twitter and bluesky!
(flawless impression) hey everyone it's me donald j. trump, he/him, and we're having lots of fun here on BLUEsky
stop the fucking pranks this shit pisses me off.
Hey, me too. It pisses me off, too.
you really do put the spring in springfield. heh heh heh/.
:/
I have a question actually regarding Adult Swim but it feels like you only answer mailbags of off-topic nonsense or personal insults. Why not take a chance on people who actually like what you are writing about, hmm?
I already said my opinions of MDE! WHAT MDRE DO YOU WANT FROM MDE
I actually do cherry pick bags when I have a lot of them, and give front-of-the-line treatment to anything that is either A) pertinent to a recently-reviewed episode or B) offers continuity from previous mail bags. But I can prioritize actual adult swim questions a little bit more if I allow myself to be guided by god's big beautiful grace
Welcome TO MY HOUSE. Play that music SO LOUD. Show me what you DO NOW. We don't have to GO OUT!
wgat the fuck are you doingman I don't even GET this
lol buying an album and being all "let's check out that bonus dvd :D"! so true.
Virgin behavior for sure, but if the hat fits

If you had your say, what villains would you want featured in future venom movies?
Tumblr media
With the stuff they have the rights for and aren't saving for future/solo movies, within Venom characters, who is there to pick from? They did the Future Foundation for the first movie, they got to Carnage in the sequel, they've set up Pat Mulligan/Toxin and we're probably gonna either get that or Knull in the next one. They can't scale down to one of Spidey's billion crimelords or someone like Sin-Eater who at least kinda has something to do with Venom, they've set up world-threatening symbiotes as the baseline. Toxin is just nothing, there's nothing there, the most you can get out of him is by having him be We Have Spider-Man At Home, and they already set him Mulligan as Venom's Javert. Combine those two, pit Eddie against a jerk Spider-Man who goes Carnage sometimes, I guess it's something? Knull is a Thor villain who took the wrong turn at Albuquerque, I can't imagine how they'd do him for these movies without just pulling the trigger on a Venomverse outright, and there's been a lot of talk about how the next movie's gonna set up that, or a multiverse, or the Sonyverse, and I'm boring myself to sleep just talking about this.
They both suck and are big idiot nothings, and none of the prior guys were really good to begin with. Knull is a little more tolerable in my book because Al Ewing and the new game made decent enough soup out of it and Tradd Moore's art sold me on him a little bit, and Woody Harrelson playing Biff Tannen was by default the most entertaining Cletus Kasady has ever been aside from AXIS, but "occasionally amusing" doesn't equal good or even mediocre, and that's the issue with these movies in a nutshell. An occasionally funny schlub protagonist and offscreen promises can't make up for all the crap everything else, and Let There Be Carnage wore my goodwill towards even that real thin. I really did try to like it.
Don't get me wrong, I like that those movies exist. I'm still probably gonna drag my friend into the next one. I hate most Venom comics but I'm incorrigible Venom trash. If we have to put up with those films and a Madame Web every now and then as the price to pay for Sony keeping the rights and keeping Spiderverse and the games just as they are, then by all means keep them coming. But man, I did try, I seriously combed through Venom and the other symbiote's rogues galleries and supporting casts to try and find an answer for this, and all the characters I found were A: dogshit Venom / Spider-anciliary characters that don't have much of anything worth it to them, and B: halfway there Spider-Man leftovers who are better served just not having anything to do with Venom movies, so I guess the option I'd go here is for them to just make new ones. I mean, movie Carlton Drake was basically an original character and he was, okay I don't even remember a thing about that guy but he was probably better than Cletus because it's really not that hard to come up with a better villain than Cletus Kasady (who at his best just elicits a chuckle) and dirtbag CEO with the cops on his side is the kind of thing you want a character like Venom to be fighting so, I guess lean more on that.
I guess I'd put Venom against symbiote tech cops that he can kill and eat without complication and have those follow him around while the actual plot is about some dumb errand or personal conflict he runs, but I don't think the villains are really the missing piece here. Venom is a terrific Spider-Man villain, but as a protagonist he is frequently deeply lacking, and as a movie franchise has like two things going for it, the titular character and the humor of a couple low-stakes absurd comedy scenes like the lobster tank, so I'd take those and throw the source material in the trash and have them go through something like the fake sequels of 22 Jump Street, just put the character in dumb problems that they can try and solve in dumb ways and do their dumb comedy routine in, Venom as a vehicle for dark parody as an extension of what he was made to represent. Treat the movies less like they are steps in a cinematic universe or character pieces and more like genre films that get infected and corrupted by a monstrous violent walking alien apocalypse and the schlubby journalist meathead in a co-dependent relationship with said walking apocalypse.
Tumblr media
Venom In Space. Venom Goes to Hollywood. Venom In The Hood. Venom Surfs The Web. Everyvenom Venomwhere All At Venom. Not even joking, if I could make a Venom musical / Little Shop of Venoms I'd do it in a heartbeat, and it would end with similar destruction. Because make no mistake, this is a Laurel and Hardy thing only to them, and to everyone else it's an escalating horror film with some kind of destruction left at the end, because that's what happens when Venom runs rampant and Spider-Man isn't there to stop them or at least keep them in line.
Venom is not just a parody, he is a rot at the heart that never stops growing, and even if Eddie Brock can strive to be a better man and even be a decent one, even if he and the Symbiote can bond as losers trying to be better, neither can escape the nature of what Venom fundamentally is, with a million new Carnages and Riots and Agonies and Screams and Viruses and symbiote cops and serial killers popping up every minute as a reminder. You can't really come up with a Venom-specific villain that's going to be greater than Venom himself already is as a Spider-Man villain, so I'd just lean into that. And then maybe, when and if it's time to finally deliver on that Spider-Man or Sinister Six encounter, they find themselves arriving too late after we've had enough movies to laugh at this idiot schlub and his predatory living cancer buddy while the world they've been protecting has been turning more into this. We put this world not in the hands of Spider-Man, because we have the full rights hope in overcoming hardship to be our better self, but in the claws of Venom, because we are fucking stupid.

Watched Longlegs with some friends last night. Went in COMPLETELY blind like not even haven't seen a single trailer or poster. Anyways. Here's the reasons I think Longlegs is a comedy, in a list (more blatant story/plot spoilers below the cut):
The picture of BILL CLINTON in the office took me out literally every single time
The screaming while driving the car. Both times it happened. #relatable
When Longlegs started doing a little jig with his hands. Couldn't stop thinking of M3gan
When Longlegs' full face as first shown and my initial reaction was to discretely pull out my phone and google "Longlegs actor" and "how old is Nick Cage"
The fact that his name is Longlegs and his legs aren't even that long in the first place. And also that the movie isn't about spiders
That her FBI partner at the start looked vaguely like Jerma
Every time I compared Lee Harker to Will Graham from the Hannibal TV show I had a little laugh to myself
Or every time I noticed a comparison to either Silence of the Lambs or Hannibal to be so fr like there's a lot if you look for them
At the end of the first scene when Longlegs says something like "sorry, it appears that my legs are tooooo long" bc his head is just outta frame or something. It's like the final line in the first scene and I can barely remember it cuz it had me giggling too hard lol
The literal final line being "Hail Satan! 😘" Had me genuinely cackling in the theater
The dolls. Like I'm sorry that American Girl Dolls don't scare me lol
When the devil or whatever is compelling the family to kill each other at the end and the wife is like "we'll be back from the kitchen shortly 😃😰" and the husband is like "I'LL be back shortly, you'll still be in the kitchen" cuz he was gonna kill her and they all knew it. That had me having to muffle my laughter into my arm fr fr
When I was like "this guys gonna die in about 30 seconds" near the start irt the Jerma guy and I was right. Pretty sure down to the seconds too. Just cuz it reminded me too much of Monster House
When Longlegs sang Happy Birthday, I compared it to the Ave Maria Riddler song from The Batman with my friend and we couldn't stop laughing about that
When Longlegs was in that corner store and the cashier girl called for her dad and said he was a regular. Just the implication that this horror movie villain compelled by the devil is a regular at this store. Like that's such a realistic retail mood. Like ya you get some oddballs working retail huh. Probably isn't even the weirdest person to go into that store

please i'm begging you don't kill Tara off like Gwen
i was watching the amazing Spider-man earlier today and had to stop because i was just like
omg what if she dies like her?
i can't look at it the same ever again 😔
YOU DID THIS TO ME 🫵
jk
Imma be straight up with you guys...idk where tf their story's going 💀
AT LEAST idk how it's gonna be ending yk
I do have an idea of where I wanna end chapter two (which I'm almost done with I think) and it'll effect the plot. There's also other plot points I'd like to explore for this story
But will Tara die??
Tumblr media
Idrk dude 😭
I did purposely make Tara a Gwen variant sooo there's that...but I might do a twist on things or I might not (either way, Miguel O'hara can go fuck himself)
Who knows, maybe Tara and R will happily swing into the sunset together after all
(I'm so proud that I have you thinking about the what if's while watching the movies...means I'm doing my job 🥲)

OKAY I meant to start earlier in the day but I know once I start it will be difficult to stop lol
but I have some tasty pasta to eat let's go
(how much do you want to bet EVERY EPISODE after this is a two-parter due to the sheer amount of plot bumping into tumblr's images-per-post limit)
s4 ep11 beast island
They're talking about their plan to go to Beast Island and get Entrapta--and side note, the ship goes about as fast as an airplane, judging by the clouds/ocean's movement
Tumblr media
will she tho
(I actually don't know! This is one of those plot points I forgot in part because I marathoned the last season and change of the show almost four years ago lol; like seriously from this point on I can remember random specific scenes but not which order or why they happened; it definitely doesn't help that a couple months ago I watched a bunch of She-Ra humor videos that are all, like, just clips from s5 in no particular order)
(seriously if you're a She-Ra fan they're great, they're especially funny if you're high as balls, which Daci and I were when I was like "hey you have to watch these with me they're hilarious")
Tumblr media
the globe map is throwing some kind of angry alarm and Swift Wind's senses are tingling
Tumblr media
They hit....something!
Tumblr media
points to whomever designed that, it looks really cool, and yes, vaguely menacing
Tumblr media
okay but you were ALSO told that Princesses were all evil soooo
They find Entrapta's mask and a Horde-made skiff and Swift Wind can hear some kinda weird noise
Tumblr media
the ship did call it a Hazardous Materials Disposal Site...
anyway a bug-robot-thing starts to attack them--and Adora can't transform to She-Ra here!
Tumblr media
OH HEY so the droning sound Swift Wind keeps hearing that's super fucking creepy is a Shepard Tone! (more info via wikipedia of course)
("April how do you know so much random shit?" I have ADHD and an internet connection. Also in this case specifically, Alex Hirsch once did an AMA in character as Bill Cipher, and he linked to a Shepard Tone and said it was his favorite song.)
Anyway they're attempting to fight the bug and losing
Tumblr media
:D I KNOW WHO THIS IS :D
Tumblr media
He scares the bug off with magic!! (Shadow Weaver did say he was a powerful sorcerer...)
Tumblr media
dun dun DUNNNN
Tumblr media
okay so I was confused as to how Glimmer was gonna get in there and duh SHE CAN FUCKING TELEPORT ffs
anyway Light Hope is a computer program and you're not the correct input??? you can't just order it to work pfft
Tumblr media
YOU'RE NOT SHE-RA lol
Anyway King Micah hasn't been around other people in a loooong time and is bad with things like "personal space" lol
Tumblr media
they're asking about Entrapta and I love that everyone in this show just Knows that Entrapta is like. Into robots. Sexually.
(I'm not looking right now but SOMEone has to have written a fic of Entrapta just making, like, really wild sex toys or fuckable robots, right? Right???)
Tumblr media
LOL THAT'S HER ALL RIGHT
Entrapta apparently went to the center of the island but Micah is discouraging them from going. The sound Swift Wind keeps hearing is a signal of some kind from the center--
Tumblr media
Apparently the signal is enough to draw people in and drive them mad.
Tumblr media
poor dude
Also he thinks Glimmer is still a child and asks about Angella, and Bow and Adora just do a 😬
But they promise to take Micah with them once they find Entrapta and leave
Tumblr media
I dunno I think it's kinda cute
Anyway as they keep walking both of them start having moments of borderline-crippling self doubt
Glimmer's killed the spiders that the Crystal Castle sets on intruders and is still trying to harass Light Hope into talking to her:
Tumblr media
Apparently yelling that she wants to use the Heart of Etheria was the right thing to say
Tumblr media
Back on Beast Island, the signal is getting stronger, Micah is trying to get more information about Glimmer from Bow and Adora, and also they're being hunted by critters:
Tumblr media
There's some kind of distorted speech in the signal (which still mostly sounds like a Shepard Tone), and Swift Wind is frozen in place by it and this is happening--
Tumblr media
CREEPY AS FUCK
Tumblr media
D:
Tumblr media
D:
Adora, trying to convince Micah not to give in, blurts out that Glimmer is Queen, oops
Tumblr media
D:
Tumblr media
D:
oh god there's a flash of light and Adora relives Angella kissing her forehead and telling her "take care of each other," then a bunch of moments of her and Glimmer, then:
Tumblr media
"I won't give up, not on my friends, not on Etheria,"
Tumblr media
--and she transforms into She-Ra :D
Tumblr media
NICE!
The blast frees everyone of the vines and they're back to being themselves
"It wasn't the signal stopping me from being She-Ra, it was me. I was afraid Glimmer was right,"
Tumblr media
"But I promise I'd take care of her--take care of everyone, and I will"
(actually you promised you'd all take care of each other, but whatever; like, this is part of her whole character arc)
Tumblr media
Side note, She-Ra is taller than Micah by like, half a head minimum
The scary critters all run off because some huge monster shows up, the monster opens its metal jaws, and
and I've run out of images with three minutes to go pfft okay hold on

nults comics from the last... oh my god it's been a month
Ultimate Black Panther #13
Tumblr media
sorry i don't think this haircut is doing much for her
==
Tumblr media
ugh i kinda hate when they give sentience to iconic non-sentient things ngl (this sounds way too specific to be a trope, And Yet)
(disclaimer: idk enough about 616 bp lore to say if this is true there too, but if it is it's definitely not relevant/old enough to have come up in my avengers/events read-through so far)
==
Tumblr media
oh my god they actually fully anthropomorphised it. it has clothes.
==
Tumblr media
same.
==
Tumblr media
POOKIES
==
Tumblr media
yeah i'd also be embarrassed to reply "vibranium's human-sona"
==
also, vibranium has been purple this entire run, why is its personification blue????
==
i'm sorry, this is so stupid
==
Tumblr media
he agrees with me
==
Ultimate Black Panther #14
this plot is so stupid oh my god, i was enjoying this run so much, how did we get here
==
Tumblr media
YESSSSSS NOW WE'RE TALKING
==
Tumblr media
HER HEART!!!!!!!!!!!
(enemies to lovers adultery (in my head), thank you god for this food!!)
==
Tumblr media
if she really cheats on him with t'challa this scene is gonna be SO funny
==
stormpanther adultery is really the only thing that can salvage this, like. "what if vibranium had emotions" what are you, pixar???? bfr
==
Ultimate X-Men #12
i've honestly given up any hope that i might enjoy this comic :/
==
Ultimate X-Men #13
ok i'm TRYING not to criticise the art but like.
Tumblr media
come on.
==
oh my god it's not even doing its basic job of communicating what's happening, i thought this was supposed to be her hitting whoever that is, but apparently they managed to swerve??
==
Tumblr media
omg kuwabara yu yu hakusho hiiiii
==
Ultimate Wolverine #2
this book should just be called "ultimate winter soldier" and i'm 150% sure the only reason they didn't do this is bc the name wolverine sells more
==
every bald bitch that shows up in this title i'm like 👀👀👀👀👀 chuck?? charlie boy??? mr professor??
==
i always forget the maker stretches too
==
oh damn i think it actually might've been charles
==
i wonder how fans of either rasputin siblings feel about this book, bc my first instinct is to assume they hate it, but maybe they're enjoying an evil au, who's to say
==
hate the random russian words sprinkled in, it completely breaks the immersion. am i supposed to believe they're speaking english the rest of the time???
==
now i kinda want a winter soldier book fully set in bucky's brainwashed years :( preferably with nat in it too
==
Ultimate Spider-Man #14
Tumblr media
oh he's got the 'tism
==
again, i'm surprisingly into the richard/felicia thing, i just think it's bullshit that he's the one getting this storyline instead of mayday
==
Tumblr media
oh my god not them bypassing that stupid-ass 100% self-imposed "each issue is set in a different month" bullshit rule by making #13 and #14 happen in the last and first days of their months
==
Tumblr media
comic of all time, honestly. also, how is this not by ryan north.
==
Tumblr media
oh my god i'm barking
==
Tumblr media
💅🏻
==
Tumblr media
what 17 year old talks like this lmao
==
Tumblr media
the elephant in the room of the fact that peter can easily carry him but it'd be kinda gay
==
checchetto is using so many csp assets on this issue, good for him
==
just last week i had a friend visibly reassess her entire worldview upon finding out peter parker spider-man is Hot, Actually. what a sad life that mus be. sam raimi you will pay for your crimes
==
oh i was gonna be SO mad... but it's totally an illusion isn't it, i love it
==
comic of all time, sorry!!!!
==
Ultimates #10
ooo steve and charli in the cover, this will probably be great (or annoy me tremendously)
==
Tumblr media
oh my god, usamericans and their perpetual fantasies of having been the ones to win ww2 jesus fucking christ
"killing nazis is what we do!!1!" no, it's hiring them. put yourself in your place and stop trying to romanticise your shitty ass past.
i'm already annoyed.
==
oof, punisher-idolising neonazis. tragically accurate.
==
Tumblr media
==
TONY IS UP!!!!!!! but also
Tumblr media Tumblr media
==
Tumblr media
i'd give my life for nults!hank
==
i LOVE the smoke that comes out of him when he flies. it's apparently an incognito thing, but it'd be a great bit of character design, makes him really feel like an "older model" when compared to johnny (and it's also a bit more machine-y, i think)
==
Tumblr media
wait so this bucky was a kid in the war?? bc steve talked about going to bars with him...
==
NOOOOOOOO NAMOR IS DEAD
==
Tumblr media
oh my god fucking usagent looking like a 3 door fridge
==
Tumblr media
USAGENT WAS LISTED AS A HERO????? FUCKING USAGENT??????
==
thank you jim.
==
Tumblr media
yeah same. wtf
==
no but i'm genuinely so upset namor is dead, i was really looking forward to his dynamic with jim :( i hope the thing with his body not decomposing means he's not actually dead
==
Tumblr media
wait, on the base????? who's fucking on the base????? is it thor and sif, i bet it's thor and sif
==
Tumblr media
==
oh no.
==
hm i'm actually not.. happy about this.... like, it's one thing for him to be a brainwashed assassin that's more weapon than person (and eventually recovers his sense). it's a completely different one for him to be the leader of a neonazi cult, like... that's pretty upsetting. especially as bucky was supposedly originally conceived (by jewish men in the 1930s) as an answer to the hitler youth. i hope it turns out he's just brainwashed again, but "steve's son(-figure) becomes the red skull as a rejection of his legacy" is literally straight out of the original ults, so hopes aren't high
