someone probably said this already but in spiderverse i think it's interesting how when pavitr was first introduced everyone thought something bad was gonna happen to him bc of how confident and optimistic he was. and then in the actual movie we see that something bad was supposed to happen to him (police chief dying!) but it doesn't! miles stops it! and miguel berates miles for this, says it's going to cause the universe to collapse or whatever.

there's this idea that tragedy is inherent to spidermans growth, and while it's true that some spiderpeople learn important lessons through loss, no one stops to ask, is it really necessary? yeah, maybe the chief was supposed to die. but why does spiderman have to be formed through tragedy? why do we (as heroes) have to let people die? pavitr didn't lose anyone, and he's still a good spiderman! maybe, if he doesn't suffer, he'll end up better off for it!

so while miguel is arguing for all this big picture stuff about saving the multiverse he's lost sight of what it really means to be a spiderman, he's not looking out for the real individual people. yeah it's just one person who would die, but that one person means something to someone. shrugging and saying "stuff just sucks sometimes, we can't do anything about it" is the opposite of what superheroes do. pretty obviously, miles arc is also a reflection of the struggles people face in real life, working within unequal systems, where it's easy to shrug and say "that's just the way it is" and not ask "but why does it need be this way? can't we do something about it?"

miguel is arguing that you can't have your cake and eat it too. presumably, miles and co. are going to find a way to get around that and change things for the better (and maybe that's why miles has that line about two cakes in the advisors office!)

sharing with yall a little draft of that old idea i had of Dust missing an eye and Nightmare sending Killer to get him a new one.

[betweenlands]

hey guys. if the Ghost's Vault wins this poll then we'll give y'all an exclusive teaser/miniupdate for the upcoming parts of bsch.

Everyone, I present to you an idea.

Imagine Nightmare takes in some version of Frisk (lets say they're like 11-13) much to the horror of his gang. Perhaps Nightmare found them in a white void, alone. They clearly reminded him of his boys, but maybe he also took them in as exposure therapy. Frisk was able to connect with Nightmare the easiest, but the same can't be said with the others.

Killer, Dust, and Axe have separate trauma when it comes to humans, but that didn't deter Frisk. They're a determined human for a reason, so they weren't going to accept defeat. Axe is the first one to grow fond of Frisk from their eagerness to help him cook meals. Frisk would have a lot more trouble befriending Killer and Dust, though.

I'd like to write a fic or something about this in the future. Lmk your thoughts‼️

Happy Pride! let me bother you with pictures of what could've been the best ship in Multiversity if DC weren't cowards >:3

they should've kissed on New Years, I'll stand by that

[isorottatime]

new year, new you! yeah that was me, yeah, sorry about knocking you out earlier. yeah this is a clone of you. i'm gonna replace you with your clone 'cause i wanna see if it makes any discernable difference. no i don't really have a control group, smartass. however, what i am doing is putting you (original) in a parallel dimension where everything is exactly the same, barring the you from that dimension being replaced with you (original). yeah i'm gonna compare you (clone) in the original dimension to you (original) in the parallel dimension. the parallel dimension you? it's fine. don't even worry about it. of course it's stupid to tell you all this. obviously i'm wiping your memory of this past five minutes before putting you in your new dimension. oh, and also the memory of you (clone). yeah it's kind of a ship of theseus type of situation if you wanna get pedantic about it. hey, those are terrible last words. be nice.

[snzical]

nobody im dating could ever ask me if they think we’re in love in every universe im a stem major AND a pedant im going to say no and it will turn into a fight

[235uranium]

as much as I do like the Horrors of ford being in the multiverse, I do kinda wish there was more stuff focusing on the good experiences (however few) he had and the friends he made with the knowledge he would never see them again

like, he was close enough to a group of people that he got tattooed with them. he misses dimension 52. and he had to know that both of them would end, sooner or later, because staying in one place increased chances he'd be caught. because, despite all of this, his destiny is to kill bill cipher.

how many favorite books. how many foods that he ate every day until he left and realized oh. I'll never eat that again. how many songs stuck in his head that don't exist. how many words that he wants to use but they don't translate and there's not even something close to their meaning here so he can't even try to explain what he means

[this-is-chaos-magick]

Just had a thought on how cool the Wanda fight scenes would have been if the original Dsmom director stays.....

[buubonita]

I want to finish writing my drafts but I have so many that I can't concentrate on just one.

So I'll let you all choose by title and theme 🙂‍↕️

[betweenlands]

A hell for the lonely.

i actually have no idea how we managed to finish this on time. between the chapter content and the art, though, this might be one of my favorite chapters yet

[little-buzz]

Cross: He made fun of me for getting chocolate milk, and then he drank 8 of my cartons!

Killer: Cross, you're in your twenties and you're arguing over chocolate milk?

Cross: Boss, you either ground him or I fight him. So there's two options and my fists are already up.

*Cross summons his weapon and as he's about to lunge at Killer, Nightmare stops him with a tendril curled tightly his waist. The sounds of the two skeletons bickering like children quickly fill the air.*

There is no better example of collective gaslighting like the "aphantasia apple" picture you see on social media every few weeks.

Of course you don't literally perceive the apple when you think about it. Your brain is perfectly capable of thinking about how objects appear at different angles and different levels of detail without literally sensing it. This isn't at all like dreaming.

You are perfectly capable of thinking about objects without actually receiving visual stimuli.

Yet every single time the photo gets posted, you get the comments of:

woa..... i can see the apple photorealistic... i take a bite ha ha :-DDD

Or even worse:

omg i can't. . - i can't see the apple. i'm not literally percieving an apple.... do i.... have le aphantasia?????

It's entirely built upon exploiting the linguistic difficulties of talking about such concepts in a meaningful way.
