Hello! I'm not a new fan of wordgirl but ive been getting back into it again. but I have a genuine question, im a tobecky fan but sometimes i feel guilty for liking it or that my close fandom friends think its trash to whatever. how do you deal with that kind of negativity or criticism? i love your fics btw and please continue the becky knight and tobey princess fic!! 😭

Oh! Hello, thank you for the ask!!

Hm. To answer your question. It is tough to enjoy something that is popular but also gains negative attention. I know most tobecky consensus is not actually malicious or bashing. It's just not people's thing or what they like, and I think that's just what your friends are like (hopefully). And that's perfectly fine, but I do understand how you can feel legitimately disheartened if people don't like what you like or stars forbid they go out of their way to make that known. For me it's more difficult because I both like dissecting and criticizing the things I like, but when I do it too much or have to hear it from others with more sway I get embarrassed/depressed and that's just because I have autism and my own mental issues with attachment to things I enjoy. It's a problem that I can't help since being a tobecky shipper or the ship in general helped me a lot with my own personal happiness during the worst years of my life and then some, and that's why I'm so attached. I try to regain a level of positivity with the ship, especially after the harrasment I've gotten over the 6+ years, being more active on Tumblr or discord (sorta). To deal with that kind of negativity...well, there are two ways, I suppose. One you can engage and realize that yes the ship has its problems but there's also a lot of interesting and cute things about it that you like, but also YES there does warrant a lot of critique and how we treat the characters (i mean look at me. I love tobecky, but even i have some beef with people's characterization of them). I consider this one the more proactive approach and probably the best to do. The other way is that you can just continue to like what you like and simply not be phased on what can be said about the ship or surround yourself with other fans and be safe with that, but also know that you can't exactly block everything out, but if you have a severe mental attachment to it and it can legitimately harm your mood then I think this approach is fine. Would people consider that not proactive? Yes, but if you couldn't tell, I do both of these two approaches, mostly depending on my mental health for certain days. But at the end of the day....this is a ship from a pbs kids show, and as far as I've known tobecky shippers, they aren't that harmful or causing the Fandom harm (can some of them be weird or extra outside of Tumblr? Definitely, but idk, obviously, i don't fw with those people so i have no idea whats going on out there). And even then, I think there's more pressing issues in our society and in real life than getting upset about the dilemma of a ship. But maybe that's because I've dealt with way worse irl, and yeah, being online is supposed to help in being a distraction or just seeing some art or hcs to brighten up the day.

And also thank you!!! That's very nice!! And wow!! Fair Kingdom Tales mention?? Unfortunately, if you couldn't tell by the last update almost 3 years ago, that yeah...I don't think I'm going back to it. Mostly because people weren't really itching for a new chapter to motivate me into continuing it and, of course, because I think the story and writing are very amateur and I think at this point i would rather just do it from scratch. But wow, again, that's very interesting that you wanted a new chapter that's sweet♥️. But 😔. However, I like the concepts and ideas I had for it. Heck, I have the outline of how the rest of the story was supposed to go. And perhaps one day, He/They princess Tobey will make a return. They were not ready for you/lh

Mean girls (2024) thoughts

(obviously spoilers for the movie!)

- personally, I loved it. As someone who’s been totally (not) normal about the og mean girls movie since 2015 and saw the musical on broadway, the target audience was me

- Reneé Rapp Regina my beloved. She was the Regina I saw on broadway so this was extra special to me

- MS NORBURY AND PRINCIPAL DUVALL ARE A COUPLE?? “Can you run this?” “Fine but you walk the dogs the rest of the week” “I love you” “I love you too”. I’m so glad she found a good guy after her divorce <3

- Janis was such a vibe. Idk she just reminds me of myself in high school but with my current fashion sense. Weird art kid rep !!

- I cried twice. Once when they showed cady in kenya bc I always cry at musical opening numbers and again when Mrs. Heron said September 9th. THATS MY BIRTHDAY THEY SAID MY BIRTHDAY IN THE MOVIE

- When Damien performed the icarly theme song in french like it was a film from the 1930s. That was so real of him

- I think it’s actually really important for gen z to have their own version of this story. The explicit queerness of Janis was great. Waaay less of the casual fatphobia that was rampant in the 2000s. As someone who grew up loving mean girls, but also relatively recently graduated from high school, I can relate to this one more and it felt so nice

- in a similar vein, I liked the use of social media throughout the movie. It felt real, like how teens actually use it. This movie just didn’t feel like it was making fun of teens, like a lot of teen media does nowadays

- It’s so funny to me that they’re just not revealing what Glen Coco looks like. Not even some random extra. It’s just everyone reacting to Glen Coco getting the candy cane grams, but no shots of Glen

- WHY is Megan Thee Stallion giving input to drama at some high school in Illinois?? I love how she’s getting into acting now

- Also. The fact that they get real tiktokers sent me. Why did I see chris olsen in this movie

- The beanie baby 😭 so real for girls who grew up in the 2000s

- Lindsey Lohan being at the mathlete competition was everything to me. It was my version of Tobey McGuire & Andrew Garfield in no way home

- I thought the detail that Karen’s necklace with her name on it was backwards several times. She’s so stupid and I love her <3

- Speaking of Karen, her expressions were so funny. Just like this for 90% of the movie 👁️ 👁️

- Principal Duvall’s still got carpal tunnel after all this time, huh

- When Karen was trying on different Halloween costumes, I noticed that she had one of the tank top with the holes cut in it like Regina had in the first movie. We love to see callbacks like that

- Lastly, it was a good movie! People who say it’s bad don’t know what they’re talking about. They probably just didn’t know it was a musical or anything about the musical. But as someone who adores every adaptation of mean girls (except for the “sequel”), it was great!! Ppl who hate it just don’t like fun ig

Into the cold

MCU cast X Male Reader

Request - Hi hope your doing good, I wanted to ask for a MCU cast X Male Reader platonic please R and Tom Holland are in an interview and they watch a blooper with them having a staredown but forget their lines so they lean in a kiss (this was before Tom and Zendaya was dating) and R says that's his first kiss with a guy and within the top 10 gayest things his done and a few weeks later the NWH cast react to fanart and some fanfiction of R and Tom's characters dating and during the interview R is like "I kissed Tom before you Zendaya"

You and the cast of No Way home are on The Tonight Show, and you and Tom have to talk about the movie. You took a selfie with Zendaya and Tom, everyone posted it online.

“Y/n, how does it feel to be in Spider-Man: No Way Home movie?” Jimmy asked.

“I feel excited and I can't wait for everyone to see the character I will play” You smiled.

“Is it true, you and Tom met before making the movie?” Jimmy asked.

“Yes, it's true. We both went for an audition for the same role in the movie Spies in Disguise. We are getting along, waiting for us to be called and we tried to copy each other’s accents. And I sent him a message teasing him that I got the role” Tom said.

“He is very rude and mean,” You said.

Everyone starts to laugh and you are smiling.

“They are always like this. Sometimes they can act like kids” Andrew said.

“Then Benedict would act like the dad and tell them to stop,” Zendaya said.

“Ever since that day, he makes fun of me for not getting the role I would try out for,” You said.

“Sometimes, Y/n would try on my spiderman mask and send me selfies,” Tom said.

Jimmy starts to laugh.

“I think we have pictures of that” Jimmy smiled.

You have the mask on and you try to eat a hot dog, in the next picture you pretend to brush your hair, and in the last picture you have the Dr strange cape on and Benedict is behind you glaring at you.

“He likes to get into it stuff after I tell him not to do it,” Benedict said.

“He does have cool stuff,” You said.

“Such a dork” Andrew laughed.

Now Jimmy is showing bloopers of the whole cast. Jimmy and the audience are laughing at the video.

“Apparently, this part everyone is talking about but we will show it,” Jimmy said.

In the video... Tom made you laugh and you forgot your lines and he forgot too. You and Tom have a stare-down, then you and Tom leaned and kissed each other on the lips.

“What just happened at that moment,” Jimny said.

“We had to do a scene. Y/n made me laugh, then for some reason, we just stared at each other, and we kissed” Tom said.

“That was one of the top ten gayest things, I've ever done,” You said.

The whole cast is staring at you right now.

“What other stuff have you done, Y/n?” Tobey asked.

“We all want to know,” Andrew said.

“Time for a commercial break, Jimmy!” You said.

Jimmy starts to laugh so hard, that his face is turning red.

The next day, many fans reacted to the video of you and Tom. You got more followers on Instagram then days later, you and Tom did a Q&A on Instagram.

✬ ✯ ✯ ✫

You and the cast are at comic con. You are on stage with them answering questions from fans. Some of the fans showed you and Tom fan art and fanfic of Peter Parker and your character.

“My character won't be dating anyone in the movie. I will appear in some scenes” You said.

“How does it feel that you kissed Y/n,” A fan asked Tom.

Before Tom answered and you answered.

“I kissed Tom before you Zendaya," You said.

Everyone starts to laugh and Zendaya playfully smacked your arm. Everyone did laugh

“That hurts,” You said and start to rub your arm.

You and Zendaya started to laugh.

“You play too much” Zendaya laughed.

You and the cast continued to answer more questions. Later, you take pictures with fans along with Tom. Many will tell you and Tom, how they like the characters together.

-----

You are with the cast in London for the movie premiere. You pose with the cast and the paparazzi start to take the pictures. Now you start to answer questions

“Y/n, can you tell us anything about your character?” The host asked.

“I can't say anything, I don't want to get in trouble like how Tom spoiled the movie years ago,” You said.

“Wow, Y/n why do you have to bring that up” Tom laughed.

“Tom do you want to work with Y/n again? You two seem close” The host asked.

“Oh, I hope I can work with Y/n in a comedy movie now that will be interesting,” Tom said.

Later, Tom posted a picture of you sleeping in your chair on set. Tom wrote a caption and everyone started to like it...

Tomholland2013 - Y/n drools when he is sleeping 😴

Zendaya told you about it by text and you started to laugh.

Did a screenshot redraw, at least I Think that's what they're called. I got silly and tried to do some rendering!

Newspaper: " Fair City full of queers? "

Unrendered version:

Original screenshot:

[avaistryingtheirbest]

Since we’re all sharing our Mingcallister-related OCs, I wanted to show my own!

Meet Angel, the kitten with prosthetic back legs!

I actually came up with her in 2023 but I’ve changed her design slightly since then.

Here’s some fun facts/headcanons about Angel:

She was originally designed with a feline wheelchair but I didn’t want to redraw that every single time I drew her (lol) so I resorted to prosthetic legs.

She’s very playful and energetic despite her previous injury. She loves climbing and being in high places.

Though she loves both of her owners, she does favor Scoops more. Tobey is extremely salty about this because he was the one that made her prosthetic legs.

Also, I’d like to note that I love all of the new Mingcallister content popping up recently. Everyone’s work is so amazing! I’m so glad our little community is still going strong.

I’d also love to share more of my Mingcallister art with y’all! A lot of them are on the older end, so if anyone wants to see me redraw an old Mingcallister artwork, let me know!

[saliosis]

yap about something idc how long or if it is something I don't know about just yap 🫵🫵🫵

YOU WANT ME TO YAP? I CAN YAP 😍 I CAN YAP ON FOREVER‼️‼️‼️‼️

i've got a fully fleshed au and a few people asking me questions about it, so i might as well use this as an excuse to go nuts about it soo...

here's me rambling about my wordgirl teenager/high school/future teenager au!!

SAL'S W✪RDGIRL FUTURE AU 💭🌟

...i'd come up with a better name for it but y'know my ass is not doing that 😍 my au is set about 5-6 years after the original show. there are a lot of changes in fair city, but the most important gags and details are still the same. i'm very loose with the exact year, but i've said before it's the early 2010s. an exact year frame would be 2011-2013. i think 2012 is probably the most accurate year.

the kids are juniors at woodview high, aged about 16-17. to be more specific: becky is 17, tobey is 16 1/2, scoops is 16, and violet is 17.

becky's still wordgirl ofc. she's not as energetic as she was before since being a high schooler and superhero is not an amazing combination. but she's still doing very well for herself! i've also had a bit of conflict as to whether or not i want bob to be dead (i love monkeys so this is a hard decision)... but i'm currently leaning on the "bob's dead, becky has to do things on her own now" thing 💔 if i write more tobecky stuff, i'll probably make this part of the story

but he would definitely be alive at the beginning. i believe he would just slowly be getting older and older, unable to accompany becky as CHF. it would be a defining, hard to navigate moment for her as it would take a hard blow on her mental health.

although becky would go through many struggles in this. i know a lot of people don't care for violet and her friendship with becky, but i believe their friendship only strengthened through middle school. this means scoops, violet, and becky's friendship becomes unbreakable. this makes it hard for both of them when violet begins to take dual-enrollment classes... aka college work and high school. sometimes she doesn't have time to hang out. scoops probably plans to go to college as well -- and yeah, most teens struggle with deciding on a path for the future, but becky struggles most. she wants to go to college (possibly in another city), but she thinks she'll find it harder because she's a superhero. how could she leave fair city? even if she does go to college, how will she find excuses to leave to stop crime? it's just too much.

and at this point, she'd have no huggy to talk to ☹️ so she feels just sort of lonely at times.

alongside tobey, becky is in the speech & debate elective. violet is in fine arts, scoops is in writing.... don't ask me about eileen and victoria because i honestly haven't thought much about what electives they'd pick 😭 rose is also in writing

it wouldn't be wordgirl without villains!!! ☝🏼 so ofc we still have our favorite top villains (dr 2brains, the butcher, chuck, etc.). some might have advanced rankings, some actually might be slowly backing away from the scene. realistically there would probably be new villains too but you'll never catch me writing out a new wordgirl villain..... i was struggling to make a villain oc because coming up with a clever one that seemlessly fits in the show is so hard.

for example, tobey is the best example of someone who starts to slowly exit the villain scene. i explained this in a reply, but puberty hits tobey like a train. he spent his younger years being reckless and irresponsible -- so now his body is betraying him. if you ask me why my tobey has curly hair, it's because it's hit him during puberty. his hair texture just... poof bitch 🌬️ changed. another example is motion sickness. tobey spent his childhood standing on top of giant moving robots? sorry bitch. MOTION SICKNESS 👻👻👻👻

so he gradually starts playing a bit nicer, not committing as much crime at the beginning of the au. if he does, he'll be hiding away with a remote control from a distance like......

TOBEY, through the speaker of his robot: "Wordgirl! There you are! I was wondering how long it take you to show up."

WORDGIRL: "Tobey!"

(WORDGIRL looks around for Tobey, confused)

WORDGIRL: "Uh..."

(TOBEY sits at home, in front of a screen. He points at the robot's chest, where the speaker is.)

TOBEY: "Eh... Right. I'm-.... The speaker. Right here."

WORDGIRL, looking around: "What?"

TOBEY: "No, no, no! I'm not physically there-- I-- Uggggh. Turn around! Turn around!!"

WORDGIRL turns around again, facing the robot: "I still don't see you."

TOBEY, annoyed: "Look up!"

(WORDGIRL looks up at the robot's chest, where she finds the speaker. She instantly realizes he's not even there in person and is instead controlling his robots from home. There is three beats of silence before she sneers and teases him.)

WORDGIRL, snorting: "What? Too lazy to get out of bed today?"

TOBEY, embarrassed: "Wha- No!"

and eventually he starts becoming lactose intolerant so it's really #tobeover for this guy. i like bullying him 😛

also on tobey... he fully stops villainy, as mentioned in my latest fic "Some School Dance or Whatever" (which you should totally read if you think i'm cooking). i don't wanna say too much about the specifics on it because i'll eventually write more on them....... but it's something he chose to do. it's part of a promise to becky made before they started dating. he doesn't know she's wordgirl but oh boy, will he figure out in a bit. it will be. um. messy 😍 he has stopped though and that's (probably?) the biggest "i'm going straight!" thing with any of the wg villains

while they are dating, tobey makes smaller-scale robots. or just tinkers with new types of things that can satisfy that itch in his brain that makes him want to build things

victoria plays an important role in this as well. i don't mention it much, but i distantly enjoy becktoria. i also like angst. sorry victoria, but i think she won't act the happiest when those repressed gay feelings come out when becky gets with tobey 💔💔 hashtag onesided

on a happier note, here's some fun little tidbits i wrote out last year for it:

pretty princess and magic pony power hour is still going. strong. very strong. it probably ends in her senior year. think of it as being like the mlp of the time

and yes, becky is STILL the biggest fan. where do you think all her money is going? #merchcollector

granny may is alive.

tj is 14, moody, and going through the roughest emo phase becky has ever seen. she's like "wtf happened to you"

gender crisis is beating scoops' ass (it's the early 2010s. horrible time to be having one.)

exposition guy and his wife have two kids

rose and scoops are having the craziest (friendly) writer's rivalry bond going on. it's scary.

violet likes to draw and play

captain tangent, who everyone doubted to take crime seriously, begins to rise ranks

THIS IS MY FAVORITE GAG. glen comes back but no longer as a dr 2brains fan and it kinda pisses dr 2brains off. glen's comeback is centered around being the butcher's #1 fan. they both argue anongst each other and the butcher is standing between them like "um how did i get in the middle of this 😰"

THIS IS MY SECOND FAVORITE GAG. yes, chuck is still villain-ing it out (he's my favorite villain 🫶🏼). still going through some serious brother issues, chuck tries to compete with brent. it's the strangest move he has ever made in his whole villain career.... but he introduces a new product. think of it as villain merchandise. "no bread, just crust."

it flops.

bigslie wedding that happens early into the au. wordgirl is baffled but she's invited to it.

more on that one... mr big's fuckass self is thinking "you know. there will be a lot of people at my wedding. how about i mind control them 😍 maybe if it works, i can both get married AND rule the city with her 😍😍 let's make it a surprise for her 😍😍😍" (what's wrong with him)

leslie is not at all surprised, disappointed, or sad when mr. big pulls out the ray when they're reading vows... and when it fails, she just says "this is what happens when you don't consult me about your crimes, sheldon"

but it's okay because the villains happily celebrate their marriage in jail (wordgirl stops by too ofc)

that's all i'll say for now but just know that i love love love LOOOVE talking ab my au. feel free flood my asks or notifs with questions, comments, and or ideas 👍🏼

[your-pal-nebula]

what are some of yall's wordgirl headcanons?

Idk if you already knew about some of these but here you go

-I did not create it but we do subscribe to the idea of Invisi-Bill being a Best/Victoria's cousin

-t4t bi4bi poly Provoclone (polyam because of the clones)

-Agender Royal Dandy, specifically because he is technically an object and objects are inherently genderless (and because agender people are epic)

-Chazz being a transmasc bi lesboy and dragon therian and using he/it/star/xe pronouns, not for any specific reason mostly just projection because star is my scrimblo blimbo blorbo scrungle

-Invisi-Bill being a dog therian and a furry (he doesn't own a fursuit because those can be expensive AF but BLHG is forced to look at art of his sparkledog fursona at least ten times a week)

-Chazz fell out of a window at some point in it's life

-Victor being a transfem egg (her name would be Veronica)

-Coach being an aroallo cishet man

-Royal Dandy likes MLP FiM unironically

-Timmy Tim Bo has a youtube channel where he uploads reviews of TV dinners

-Also Timmy being Coach's nephew

-Coach is the weed dealer of Fair City

-Mr. Big sells all the HRT in FC and Leslie does all of the surgeries. They're totally doing it illegally but nobody's complaining. If WordGirl were to stop them the citizens would probably execute her publicly (this started as a joke between me and @holdthefuckupwhat but now I have just accepted it as canon)

-Tobey owns a furby. He is terrified of it.

-Lexiconians think dyslexic people are satanic (or whatever their version of Satan is) or just in some way cursed and/or evil

-Hexagonians have a superstition that trying to divide by zero in a calculator brings bad luck or just fuck up your life in general. They also have a similar belief that dyscalculic people are evil

-Rhyme is very willing to eat inedible things

-Reason also fell out of a window at least once

-Miss Power does have eyelids she just licks her own eyeballs periodically to freak people out. Also she sheds the parts of her body with scales on it (I always see all the other aliens given animalistic traits by the fandom except for her for some reason)

-Victoria and Hunter Throbheart pretended to be dating each other for years as teenagers to hide being a lesbian and gay (mostly made this one because the writers confirmed they were dating and I reject that reality and substitute my own)

[snickerzanddoodlez]

U got headcanons?

For Wordgirl? Yes, lots of headcanons!

-Wordgirl and Tobey are both autistic! A fairly common one, but I really like it. (An argument could be made for literally every Wordgirl character, but these are my big ones!)

Wordgirl is shown to have a lot of trouble with being too blunt, being unsure what to do in

For Wordgirl? Well, we see that she’s extremely fixated on both words themselves and Pretty Princess and Magic Pony Power Hour. 

She excels in language (which is due to her being Lexiconian, I’ll admit, but regardless) to the point where she isn’t allowed to compete in certain things anymore, while struggling severely in art related things. She also gets needlessly bothered by words being used incorrectly (any Learnerer episode is a good example of this), which is something I see exhibited by my sister a lot!

She *loves* collecting things for Pretty Princess, and in El Queso Mysterioso we see that she KNOWS IT WELL- even being able to identify the actor for “non-speaking toadstool 51” (or whatever it was) which is also very similar to my sister- she knows voice actors, episode numbers, etc like the back of her hand, it’s almost uncanny (and I mean that in the best way possible)

She’s also shown to have a “different” sense of humor in a way, often being the only one to laugh at her own jokes- and as well as this, she seems to have a hard time “people-ing” sometimes (especially in ways that other characters don’t). She seems to have a hard time holding back her reactions / being “tactful” at times, shown especially in the episode “Judging Butcher”- in my opinion, anyways.

I think the social things specifically could in some situations be defended by “well, Lexiconian culture is different!” but she barely grew up on Lexicon so I don’t think it works.

As far as Tobey, well, I over-analyze every scene he’s in- speaking or not- just because I love him that much, so uh…some of this is more background-y stuff!

In Tobey’s Playground Calamity, he’s shown to cover his ears when the rest of his class claps- “sensory overloads” are common in those on the spectrum and as someone who suffers from those, I absolutely relate 😭 

As well as this, in “Mobot Knows Best” he’s shown to be overwhelmed when Becky and Violet invade his personal space, which is normal, but he seems somewhat distressed / nervous as well as confused, which makes it seem a little different.

He’s also….extremely fixated on robots, which are certainly his special interest (“Special interests are frequently developed by individuals with autism spectrum disorder, expressed as an intense focus on specific topics.”). His room is shown to be entirely robot themed, and he’s always thinking about them, seemingly-

He, as well, seems to have issues socializing. In a scene from “Trustworthy Tobey”, when he’s shown borrowing a book from Tobey, he seems a bit…”tactless”, for lack of a better word(girl), and his bluntness doesn’t seem to be out of carelessness as much as ignorance.

He’s shown to be very blunt and kind of (heavy quotes here) “different”, so….them’s my two cents!

Kid Math is also autistic but I don’t feel the need to defend that one

-Beau canonically loves birdwatching, so I like to imagine he used to have a pet bird named “Chica”! (This is specifically because I once doodled the following stupid interaction:

Beau, holding up a bird: “And this is my pet bird Chica!”

Tommy: “Like from FNAF?”

Beau: “get out of my house”

-Tommy is Seymour Smooth’s son and has been sent onto May I Have a Word as a spy. Belle Stunning is his mother because the layers of drama that adds makes me laugh.

-Scoops’ favorite musical is Newsies.

-Tobey tried to force himself to just latch onto Victoria instead of Becky, which is part of why we see him hanging out with her so much in “Kid Math 1&2”, but he quickly realized that she didn’t like him and he didn’t even like her.

-Kid Math has a crush on Violet. Just look at their little interaction and the foot-kick he does in the Kid Math episodes after talking to her!

-Dr. Two-Brains loves the movie Ratatouille and cries every time he watches it. His Henchmen like the Barbie movies, and Dr. Two-Brains berates them for watching them (but secretly likes a few of them).

assigning marvel heroes engineering majors (1)

i tried to write this so it makes sense even if you don't know much about engineering!! this post has my headcanons for peter parker, steve rogers, tony stark, and clint barton!!

as a preface, i am very aware that most of the marvel heroes would not in fact be in school for engineering even in an alternate universe. unfortunately, my fixation on both superheroes and engineering knows no bounds.

please feel free to ask me any questions about eng or for further explanation my reasons for these picks!! i am only in one type of eng but know many people in other disciplines so hopefully i'll be able to answer :)))

Peter Parker - Mechanical & Biomedical

I truly, truly believe the correct peter parker engineering take depends on what portrayal of spiderman you are looking at. like tobey's spiderman? would not touch biomed with a pole let alone mech. ... that peter parker is so far from engineer...... i dont even know where i would put him. materials? pls send your opinions if you have them.

BUT MCU, tom holland, spiderman would definitely definitely be in mechanical & biomedical. i actually got this from an irl friend, so if you see this somehow pls say hi LMAO

mechanical is one of the most common streams of eng and, while absolutely not something i ever want to touch, is really neat. it centers around keeping things in motion (contrary to civil engineering where if something is moving you're in trouble). it applies physics in really cool ways which i imagine would be a draw to peter just on the sole basis of personal interest. mech also plays with materials as it explores elasticity, deformation, fractures, yield strength, and other materials things i have blocked out LOL. when i think of that aspect i feel like it matches really well with the designed suit, the webs, and, if you listen to the science jargon he throws around in the movies, some of his prior knowledge.

biomedical engineering is actually used by some (the insane) as a gateway into med school. it covers human anatomy and genetic engineering (radioactive spider????). i do not believe peter would do med school too (because that student debt tho) but i also can't imagine him not trying to apply what he learns to helping others. i am personally partial to applying engineering principles to physiology and i can just imagine him implementing his mechanical knowledge into making prosthetics. if i had the brain power for this degree i would love to do that.

Steve Rogers - Civil Engineering

.... listen. steve rogers would fight a war before sitting in an hour lecture about dirt. i know this and acknowledge this wholeheartedly. HOWEVER,,,, I have a friend in civil with a special interest on sustainable design and you cannot, cannot tell me that isn't steven rogers coded.

civil engineering is not architecture, like at all, which i think is a common misconception if you don't know engineering well ( totally understandable!) unfortunately, i don't think civil caters to his artistic side that well but as someone who likes art but only does it as a hobby next to eng, i think thats okay.

civil engineering is kind of the mother to environmental engineering in the sense that they both look into wastewater treatments, geology, and even environmental planning (in some cases) but civil will also go into more detail with structural components and design of buildings. you'll find civil engineers involved in every building being made and in every town council ensuring clean drinking water and working sewage systems. typically they specialize into one or the other but shhhh ignore that for this post.

what i am trying to say here is that this would give steve a shit ton of wiggle room which i think he would use to help both the environment and people. paying engineers is expensiveeee especially for qualified, capable ones. i think steve would find deep satisfaction in working either for free or for the bare minimum cost (not that you should - know your worth :) ) and i think that he would actively use his work to call out designs that endanger communities or their environments.

this man knows his local engineering ethics code and WILL call someone out.

Tony Stark - Engineering Physics

when i started writing this section i thought it was going to be the easiest but unfortunately i did in fact have to phone a friend. tony stark is THE engineer so narrowing him down to one discipline felt impossible. my friend suggested engineering physics so i went with that.

the thing is eng phys is THE engineering degree. it is wonderful because you look at almost every thing mech, elec, and comp related (will explain more below) without specializing too greatly. it is also difficult because you don't specialize. for tony stark, who did not have to go into that internship grindset mentality, it would all be net positives.

to make the suit i immediately knew tony needed to have an extremely good knowledge on BOTH electrical (circuitry, coding, wires, magnetism, fun stuff) and mechanical (explained in peter's section!!). i was considering a double major but then was stumped because i love my elec and mech friends but they have no desire to produce a new element and also... creating an arc reactor??? plus AI's??? while likely related to software, it he would have bare minimum had to have had a good computer engineering (kind of how it sounds, engineering related to building and using computers and components of computers, lots of overlap w/ elec) background.

to wield the amount of science knowledge tony stark has an be able to apply it in an engineering context he would either have to be a genius (which like canonically he is so yknow) or take every course offered to engphys students (and some).

i think as a student he would have also enjoyed that not having to specify aspect. i imagine him always in the pursuit of knowledge. yay eng physics!!!

Clint Barton - Materials Engineering

If you've read the reasonings for some of the characters above you have likely thought to yourself "wow, such clear arguments, time must have been put into this" which like yes but also no because for this decision i am going exclusively on vibes.

materials focuses on, well, materials. it looks at both composition and properties (plus how composition effects properties). my friends in matls tell me its pretty research heavy which doesn't really fit with clint, i am aware. but every person i have met from this faculty i am convinced would get along with him.

I KNOW THIS ISN'T GREAT REASONING. i think that engineering would always be second to other things or interests in his life (even when he's a student) but I think the promise of a stable job and the hypothetical applications are really interesting. matls and mech can be surprisingly similar and i think he would find more satisfaction in manipulating materials to better fit his goals than in being stuck within predefined constraints.

plus, imagine creating a new material for like the tensile strength of your bow. incredibly cool

I'm thinking i'll work on doing more of these as i find the time!! i definitely have a few ideas for other characters, i just need to figure out how to articulate my reasonings haha.

if you have any ideas or shared interest in engineering and superheroes please let me know!! i have also been recently into the bat family, as you could probably tell by my reblogs, and am thinking of doing a version with them also!!

Least favorite Tobecky headcanon? or what some people like in popular tobecky ideas but youd don't?

(Oof, I missed this one a week ago, sorry!!)

But to your question, hmm... that's a bit tough since headcanon and ideas involving tobecky within the Fandom change over time. It's very noticeable from the time before the show got canned to the Twitter resurgence a few years ago. And what is my least favorite or what I don't like... then yeah, I could say, since apparently I'm the hot take Wordgirl blog/lhj

I'm mostly gonna be talking about ones from the old fandom/things I notice that I don't personally jell with anymore, so take that as you will. Remember, these are my opinions, and they don't define how a person should feel if they like these headcanons/tropes themselves. I'm just a genderfluid cartoon bee person on the internet.

One tobecky trope/headcanon that I *could* like but I don't particularly think is used well enough is when they want to make it a love triangle. Either with Scoops, Victoria, or if you're brave, Violet. I dabble in jealousy within tobecky since it's fun. However, early fandom was kind of obsessed with making either of these characters absolutely fladerized in their worst traits so Tobey/Becky could be seen as the better option. Like Victoria being more nasty and cruel to Becky for no reason other than Tobey is the one she's after. Which I gotta roll my eyes at two interesting female characters just fighting over a boy. And in turn, the villiazation some people made Scoops out in early fandom like jeez you would think he was a real jerk in the show if you only consumed early fandom art and fics. Yes, both Victoria and Scoops have their flaws, but they wouldn't be interesting characters without them and it's a shame for either of them to be portrayed as just meanies so Becky could lean more into Tobey (a little tangent here, this also is talking about how making all other characters in Becky's personal life incompetent too, ie Violet and the Botsfords so the only one she should turn to is Tobey. Yes, there are things Tobey could understand and connect with her that her family can't, but making her friends and family heartlessly naive to her plights is dumb. Or making it that they don't trust or love her anymore after an event. Wildly out of character and not in a good way).

And I don't even hate this idea or concept as much. We'll get to the ones I do, but this is the first one that I think could have potentially if done right. Kids have crushes, and they can be resentful to others close to the person they like. It's natural. But mostly, the problem does lie with character assassination. This is one could be fun (and I've seen recent good examples), but it comes down to the interpretation.

....

Another is Becky, basically being Tobey's therapist while also being his girlfriend. I think I've talked about before on my distaste for the (Becky has to fix Tobey) trope since it's the most obvious f/m enemies to lovers trope that I dread because the female character is just used as the ultimate emotional stability for a male character who has to earn his own sense of self (if the male character is the one who was antagonist, which is like 89 percent of them). Becky, to me, doesn't have anything under control herself. Yes, it might seem like it, but have you seen this girl? Lol. So her being Tobey's number one coddler is just not in character...at least for me. Especially if it's the show accurate ages of them or heck as teens. So Tobey being in a relationship with Becky, that's just her being his therapist or her needing to instill lessons like she's his teacher. Idk that's a highly unhealthy dynamic to me, folks. Not to mention how some could write Becky as controlling or manipulative to Tobey's unstable mental health.

And there's the reverse. Some might scream at me. 'What about Tobey being the one to emotionally help Becky? Isn't that also problematic?' Well...not exactly and I can explain why! Not only is it not a common trope, nor does it have origins in a very dubious romance trope that can be misogynistic. But knowing how popular the ideas of Becky being stressed or emotionally shutting off by handling everything herself (since we can infer in the show), then it wouldn't be a too farfetched idea of her needing that bit of help or reminder from a friend or foe. And I say 'a bit' because the reverse trope doesn't have Tobey downright baby Becky or become a therapist in what she does, nor be her only emotional dependency. And yeah, the idea of Tobey being more emotionally stable than Becky is unbelievable, but again, usually when I see this trope, Tobey isn't perfect himself, and he's also a bit messed up. I don't know if I'm explaining it right, but to peeps who read a lot of the modern fanfictions, you know what I mean.

I think the good mixture of both of these is them obviously being good for each other in an equal manner.

...

My final one is the one where Tobey basically gets rewarded for being pushy/crossing boundaries. "Oh, he had to blackmail her or threaten to destroy something so she could fess up her TRUE emotions." Or "he had to socially engineer his way to reveal her identity so she could like him" (this one is a trope that's done right when tobey literally gets hit with the big consequences as he should, we all know this, because it's half of the reveal plot lines in tobecky content) but for some reason a very few treat this as a necessary thing for him to do despite how very obviously bad it is. Becky should slap him if he does that and if thinks he's in the right.

...

And yeah, that's the ones I could think of. Again, like I said, this is my opinion!! If you like using these tropes, power to you, it's not my thing--and I have my problems with them. Again, I think there is potential for some of them to be done correctly or at least with a twist that can be interesting. I like my fair share of messy tobecky, I'm a messy bee. And this ship is interesting in many ways. But there's probably a reason why some have their issues.

Thank you anon for the ask!
