The thing was.
The thing was, seeing Beck’s face on the screen in Time’s square and hearing him frame Peter for the attack on London, as well as Beck’s own murder, had been jarring.
Very jarring.
And for one long moment, Peter froze. A sensation as if he was suddenly floating submerged in icy water came over him at the sound of Beck’s voice. A feeling like frostbite binding to his limbs, stopping his heart, at the view of his bearded face and wild eyes, sweaty, frantic and, massive on the big screen.
Like rigor mortis set in, and Peter could not move, could not think, could not breath. He was trapped in a snow-globe all over again.
‘I tried to help you walk away. Now you’re making me do this.
‘I don’t think you know what’s real, Peter.
‘Now you’re making me do this.
‘I control the truth.
‘Making me do this.
‘I control the truth.
‘Will you beg for them, like you begged for-‘
And then MJ was standing in from of him, snapping her fingers for his attention and shouting “Hey!”
He zeroed in on her like she was a life raft in the Atlantic, and finally, he began to breathe again.
“We have to go, let’s – we have to go!” She said with authority, but Peter, knowing MJ as he did, caught the undertone of pleading in her voice, and he knew what he needed to do. He had to get her out of there, and so he did.
Making it back to his apartment was a blur. Peter knew there had been sirens, and eyes on him the whole way. He vaguely remembered facetiming with Ned briefly on the way, and MJ screaming as they swung.
And all of the sudden he was standing in the living room in boxers and his “I heart NY” T-shirt, while he and MJ frantically closed all the windows, locked all the doors, and attempted to distract his aunt. Somehow, during all of this, he was supposed to process Happy and May breaking up all of the sudden? Yeah no, that wasn’t gonna happen.
The same time that May noticed the shitstorm that was happening outside of their apartment, and reached over to turn on the news, Peter’s phone rang.
“Shit.” Peter blinked at the screen. May looked over his shoulder at the name ‘Tony Bologna’ that flashed across the screen. She said, “Oh thank God. Peter, answer it!”
Then to Happy’s questioning look, “It’s Tony.”
Happy nodded in agreement and added. “He’ll know what to do about this mess.”
“What? No!”
Happy snapped, “Why the hell not?”
“He just woke up, he – he should not be getting stressed out right now – “
“Oh, come on kid, he’s fine – “
“You know I don’t like Stark,” MJ pointed out, “but this seems like the kind of thing he might actually be able to help with.”
“Did you all forget he’d been in a coma for – “
“Oh, for Christ’s sake, Peter!” Aunt May reached over, snatched the still ringing Stark phone out of his hands, and answered it. “Tony!
Are you watching the news?”
“Hey - what the hell, May?” Peter said, holding his now phone-less hand up in offense.
May pointed a finger at him, “Shhh, Bambino Stolto!”
Peter’s mouth fell open, “Wow, ok, first of all, ouch -”
“Tony, are you seeing this? Tell me you’re seeing this.”
“Did she just insult you in Italian? Nice.” MJ smirked.
“That’s Tony? Ask Tony if he’s seeing this –“
“Yes, Happy, he’s seeing this – yes, Stark, I know that’s why you called. What are we going to do about it?”
“No, no Aunt May, tell him everything is fine, absolutely nothing to worry – “
“You know, Peter might be right – Tony isn’t supposed to get his blood pressure up right now – ask him to put Pepper on – “
“Exactly, Happy! Doctor’s orders. See? Aunt May – “
“I’m with Happy on this, Pepper Potts is way more competent than – “
“Thank you, MJ! May, just tell him to put Miss Potts on – “
Finally, May shouts,
“Everyone. Shut! The! Hell! Up! Right this second. Thank you. Now. What were you saying, Tony? Ok, got it. I’ll tell him.
“Peter, Tony says that he heard you agree with Michelle that’s he’s
incompetent, and he’s writing you out of his will.
Yeah, Tony. He’s speechless. Yeah, I think you got him. Uh huh. Ok, uh huh.”
May hung up the phone.
“We’re going to the tower. Tony and Pepper have multiple lawyers, including one from the Accords Committee that we’ll be meeting with in an hour, so we need to get on the road right now. Happy, you’re driving.” She looked over at Peter, and reached a hand out to rub his arm soothingly, her eyes going soft. “Everything is going to be fine, honey. MJ, do you want us to drop you off at home on the way, or are you coming with?”
“What, and miss this? No way. I’m coming with.” She reached over and gave Peter’s hand a squeeze, along with a smile of reassurance.
Happy grabbed his keys and turned toward the door. “Let’s go. And Parker, you might want to put some pants on before we meet the lawyers.”
“Oh, shit!”

Part two of the reverse verse is here! The reverse boys meet the original boys. They're not really getting along as well as I had hoped...
Again, this was a commission for @i-am-as-normal-as-you-are and they asked for angst/funny vibes... I think it's mostly just angst though. Oh, well...
Part one
#dead boy detectives#dbda#payneland#edwin x charles#reverse verse#there's a lot i could say about this one#the idea of someone telling edwin he's go to hell is absurd as it is#edwin telling edwin? lmao#the charles... oh they hate each other#reverse charles is angry (he always is) because this other version of himself was spared hell... in exchange for edwin going there?#obviously it doesn't work like that. og charles hadn't even been born when his edwin was sent to hell#but anger is not a rational thing. especially not for this boy#og charles? you don't want to know what he's thinking#i'm telling you anyways#he... kind of agrees. if someone had to go to hell#why edwin? why not him? there is an universe in which that happened#so why not this one? unfair#then again... look at this charles who did go to hell#he's explosive. he's DANGEROUS#he shouldn't be near edwin#if og charles had gone to hell would he be the same? would he be too angry to be trusted? would he be like his father?#and if so would that really count as saving edwin at all?#if this is the kind of best friend poor edwin would end up with?#on a happier note though#physical contact!! reverse charles loves it#i don't have all the details but his hell was on the rage ring so it was different to the dollhouse.#and it was a very violent place so boy loves gentle touches#luckily edwin is more willing to give them to him with each year#i think what the edwins are feeling is a lot more clear#but still would love to hear your thoughts

Unsolved Mysteries.
[First] Prev <–-> Next
#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#lan wangji#jiang cheng#wei wuxian#Spoilers: It was Wei Wuxian the whole time!#Once again this one was on the chopping block but I saved it for just a better comic flow.#Admittedly I do have a critique of the pacing here. Namely that we really should have ended the flashback when WWX fell.#And then gone back to present time for a bit - or even go to a different flashback.#The sense of time passing isn't as strong as it *could* be.#We get *told* three months pass and that they've been looking for WWX. But to the audience it's been...15 min.#Less than seven minutes if you count the flute playing.#This guy when through a whole aesthetic and persona shift in less time than it takes to walk through a corn field.#Guy who listened to less than half an emo album and dyed all his clothes black. And jorted all his jeans.#Timeskips can be sudden and work out just fine! I personally feel like this one would be stronger with better pacing.#Feel free to disagree with me!#In case anyone is wondering why JC and LWJ are still holding hands: 1) Haunted house episode.#2) I needed to practice drawing hand holding at some point. Might as well get the rough and sloppy ones out with these two.

Do you ever think about how Kirk had a "best friend" on the ship before Bones in Gary Mitchell, a man who:
a) deviously manipulates him into heartbreak for Mitchell's benefit,
b) shames him for not being "fun" enough when he's in a position of power,
c) openly insults intelligent and powerful women,
d) treats everyone cruelly as soon as he gets power and tries to seize everything for himself,
e) finds it fascinating that he can stop a person's heart for fun, and
f) tries to murder Kirk instead of admitting that he's a danger to the universe,
and then chooses to replace him with Bones, a man who:
a) tries to save Kirk from heartbreak at every opportunity,
b) gets him to smile and relax by being genuinely interested in how he's doing and telling him that he's great and respected just as he is,
c) openly toasts intelligent and powerful women,
d) treats everyone kindly as soon as he gets power and tries to use it to help as many people as he can,
e) cries about how people suffered when medical treatments were less advanced, and
f) says, "Jim, I can't destroy life, even if it's to save my own. I can't."
because I do
#star trek#star trek tos#jim kirk#leonard mccoy#mckirk#gary mitchell#where no man has gone before#the empath#the ultimate computer#is there in truth no beauty?#for the world is hollow and i have touched the sky#city on the edge of forever#bones mccoy#that's growth baybee#it's what jim deserves#i think jim should maybe appreciate the difference a little more but that's just me#your local bones defender#prairiedawn has a great fic on ao3 about what would have happened if bones had gotten gary's powers instead#spoiler: he doesn't turn into a megalomaniac because he was never capable of it#day 2 of covid ughhh save me

while I think lords of fortune rook is probably one of the faction backgrounds that tie the least well into the overarching story for me so far, I must admit that I do see the inherent allure and hilarity in the character concept of someone who somehow manages to save the world based on nothing but the power of being a really good hang
#qualifications: pal of isabela's. good people. knows how to party. a background that dares to ask the question:#if the dread wolf had gone to more good parties and let his figurative hair down do you think it would have all turned out differently#we just don't know! we should give it a shot <- varric recruiting rook on the logic that isabela thinks they're pretty cool#dragon age#dragon age: the veilguard#dragon age: the veilguard spoilers#dragon age spoilers#lords of fortune#rook laidir

I was just minding my own business listening to the latest episode of World Gone Wrong podcast and thinking to myself "I'm getting big Empty Man vibes from these random bizarre but ominous messages, sent from a powerful source of authority, warning about the coming of a mysterious threat. I bet the writers were influenced by Wolf 359, it's fun how you can spot little influences like that..." And then I get to the end of the episode and only then do I learn it was written by Gabriel Urbina the man himself. I feel like I've fallen for some kind of trick. He's hiding in plain sight. He's The-Empty-Man-ed me in two separate podcasts. The empty man is coming for me and apparently his name is Leonard...
#*Shakes fist at sky* Urbina!!#I now realise that other people have already said all this in the World Gone Wrong tag#but I still feel the need to express it#As the Tumblr user previously known as the-empty-man I think I have a right to feel uniquely attacked#Anyway I would recommend World Gone Wrong :)#It's a fun heartwarming time about friendship in a world that is fucked up in different ways to how the actual world is fucked up#The dynamic between the two main characters is excellent#world gone wrong

The past JD ex's who got back together with him club. I feel like they'd have a lot to talk about
Freesia is @zivazivc
#dreamworks trolls#trolls#trolls band together#ive been thinking about her recently#ao i had to draw her XD#theres a few other creators whose characters im itching to draw#so when i get the chamce its so pver for you guys#but anyway#i love freesias design#idk how exactly these two would fully interact#their reasons for breaking up with JD are very different#Jade left due to the fact that the stress of the band and his family was obviously taking a toll on their relationship#lile he wasnt letting her help him and pushing her away#and she didnt want to get in the way of him trying to achieve his dream and fixing things with his family#so they split due to that#and then Freesia left due to JD having to parent his siblings and she did not sign up to be their mom#their JDs would be very different as well if we go by the n2 au where Jades JD came back after 2 years#while Freesias was gone for 20#also Jade is eating one of Freesias famous brownies#and she is loving it#anyway#hope you guys enjoy#teehee#also i did accidentally make jades head a lil too big#but ive made my bed so i will lie in it

How do I explain how married Han Yoojin and Sung Hyunje are in the post-epilogue Side Stories without sounding like I am exaggerating or making things up...
#calling each other “parenting partners”#planning to live together#planning vacations together#and adventures as well#yoojin demanded hyunje gives him half his money#hyunje just agreed#tbf hyunje is almost definitely going to live more than yoojin but none of them wants to think about it right now#you heard of yoojin raising a child that is a copy of hyunje but did you know hyunje has adopted a baby version of yoojin#(it's complicated)#the 2 kids are best friends#hyunje in dragon form making a joke about yoojin wanting to ride him#hyunje in mini-form making a joke about liking to ride yoojin#from today's chapter: im sorry i cant pat your head in this form i know you like it#also asking if yoojin likes to be manhandled#yoojin every 5 seconds: hyunje when are you coming back home. come back. hurry. i am making plans for when you come back#at least twice yoojin mentioned hyunje taking his last name#tbf it was 2 different yoojins#there are many versions of jinje in different realities#they keep getting drawn to each other#we got confirmations that if yoojin hadnt regressed. hyunje would have gone back for him after yoohyun's death#and they would have ended up livong together in switzerland#did i mention they plan to love together#we dont if yoohyun is going to be chill with that tho#sctir#sctir spoilers#sctir side story#sctir a later story#jinje#jinjae#the s classes that i raised

FARSCAPE | 1.06 Thank God It's Friday, Again.
#I love this exchange so much specifically because it tells us a lot about how the translator microbes work. I mean. I highly doubt that – at#least at this point – john has ever discussed woodies with Aeryn.#But I can quite easily imagine that he’s at one point looked at some alien thing shuddered and gone ‘ugh. Gives me the willies.’#And since aeryn’s translator microbes picked that up and returned it with woody we can kind of see how they work.#It’s taken willie – a colloquial term for penis – and substituted it with another colloquial term for penis – woody.#The problem is that these terms both have connotations that the microbes don’t pick up on#hence the incorrect substitution.#However they do seem to do okay with homophones#presumably based on context.#It’s like how back in like 2012 if you typed a word into google translate that didn’t translate well#it would give you it’s best guess#and then if you translated it back it would just have a completely different meaning. Essentially translator microbes work probably as well#farscape#aeryn sun#claudia black#syfysource#cinematv#filmtvcentral#chewieblog#smallscreensource#usercreate#userthing#farscapeedit#john crichton#ben browder#farscape gifs#my gifs#claudia black gifs#dailytvwomen#popcultureds

Saw the sketch for this and the only version I found of it finished was like 2 pixels so I decided to finish it myself.
Some process photos below the cut ✨ (including just the line art if you wanna color it yourself)
If you wanna color the line art digitally, if you are able to, just set the image to multiply and make sure the color layers are below the line art layer <3 if you have questions feel free to ask in replies
-
Did I do a good job making it look official hehe I really tried
#i would have done a version where i colored it in my coloring style but i just really wanted to make it look like official cos art lol#so all the colors are colorpicked from the movie except the shading for the final version was a dark desaturated red on multiply#the last progress image is using the shading colors they use in the movie#ik the shading isnt different enough for me to have gone through all that trouble but idc lmao#i might make a version where i color it in my coloring style so ill post it if I do#sorry for rambling in the tags i always have a lot to say lol#fma#fullmetal alchemist#fullmetal#edward elric#fma edward#digital art#conqueror of shamballa#fma cos#fma conqueror of shamballa#cos#fma 03#fullmetal alchemist 03#fma 2003#fma fanart#fullmetal alchemist fanart#procreate#my art

Master manipulator vs Master manipulator
[First] Prev <–-> Next
#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#xue yang#a-qing#The scenes with XY and A-Qing are so delightfully tense and anxiety inducing#They are both so deep in the mind games with each other. Convinced they have the leg up when in reality they do not know the full scope#Also is is just me or do XY and A-Qing give off the vibe of internet nemeses?#A-Qing coming in hard with 'Oh you think blind people cant do XYZ? Get canceled idiot'#Meanwhile XY is the kind to purposefully use leet speak in descriptive text to antagonize the screen reader population.#a teen girl and a 4-channer who found his way to tumblr would be awful to watch fight irl but the vibes are equivalent.#Meanwhile XXC is going on a nice little walk to pick grass. I love him so much actually.#through writing these notes I have also gone down the rabbit hole of trying to pinpoint Xue Yang's age. Hello? Is it actually not known?#The best resources I could find put him as 1-3 years younger then xxc and song lan#So? early twenties? late teens? Someone who has absorbed more mdzs knowledge...Please help#Oh no I'm even deeper in the rabbit hole now. What do you mean the ages are mostly just relative?#What do you mean cultivators can age differently (usually slower in xianxia)#Oh no oh no wwx doesn't have a golden core. I was too accurate in my homestuck AU re: lifespans. I want to go back.#(I love angst and am now marinating this thought in my little thinking chamber)
