WV according to the fandom.
Yeah, just ignore all this stuff that happened to him. He’s DaveKat’s baby now.
I had more images, but tumblr wouldn’t let me post anymore.
Just skate right over the fact he used to run a farm by himself, lead a rebellion, stood up to the Black King AND Jackspers Noirlecrow, has a crush on a grown woman, and has other grown women who have a crush on him. He is literally that other guy’s hero. That guy completely believes that WV could save them from the Sovereign Slayer.
And as for the images I had but wouldn’t fit, there’s:
Interactions between him, PM, and AR that indicate him noticing PM’s womanly appeal, and having bro-times, man hang outs with AR, specifically conspiratorially looking at each other saying, “women.”
His post traumatic stress night terror where he becomes the protoyped carapace that killed everyone on the battlefield.
How he literally blacked out and destroyed a can bearing the visage of the Black King, then honestly didn’t remember what happened.
And finally, the part where his nightmares came true and a giant, winged doggish former enemy drove their hand through his middle, ripped his guts out and left gaping holes in his carapace where he started to slowly bleed to death with exposed organs and possibly a damaged spine.
Yeah, so we can stop discrediting his intelligence, maturity, and size any time now. He isn’t stupid, innocent, childish, or simple. He IS a sweet, kind, friendly individual that likely has an extremely high boiling point (if one at all) and would probably be tolerant of a lot, but everyone has a point where they can’t handle any more. And, honestly, an honored war hero shouldn’t have to come to that point to be recognized.
And on the point of his size, here is WV next to PM:
Here is PM next to CD:
and here is CD next to Jade (age 13):
Or, more simply, right here (Dave age 16):
He hasn’t suddenly grown over the recent updates. Everyone just got used to seeing other artists’ renditions of him as really small, and gotten attached to the idea for some reason.
Another thing of note is that these are also sprites, which are a “representative” form like how
is supposed to mean
to your mind.
So to keep with the previous example and in a less representative form, here he is with Jade (now age 16).
See, he’s still short, but not this short
Simply, he’s no one’s baby and he’s no one’s pet. Just because people do not understand the differences between carapace culture and mindset, doesn’t actually make us smarter or more mature or any more qualified to look down on really in depth, emotional characters. Please stop. Please.

personally a huge fan of the idea that spider-man has the THICKEST new york accent. he's a true new yorker!!
My best friend moved overseas and realised that her Aussie accent always won her friends, so she leaned into it HARD. 5 years later she doesn't even realise how much she habitually thickens her accent
I feel like Peter always had a New York accent but he purposefully makes it thicker when he's Spider-Man to help hide his identity and it become a habit. So now whenever Peter gets irritated or angry or scared in his civilian form, he slips into his Spider-Man Voice™ without realising it, which is just the most outrageous New Yorker "I'M WALKIN' HERE" accent of all time

i really like outsider POV, but the thing is, it fundamentally works better when whatever is going on with the characters in question is so fucking weird that no reasonable outsider could ever discern it
like, the ideal outsider POV should have at least some element of 'what the fuck is wrong with these people'.

i learned about Tim Wong who successfully and singlehandedly repopulated the rare California Pipevine Swallowtail butterfly in San Francisco. In the past few years, he’s cultivated more than 200 pipevine plants (their only food source) and gives thousands of caterpillars to his local Botanical Garden (x)
