thinking about dean growing up and putting everything before himself. hunting and his brother and his dad and his dad’s revenge quest for their mom. he doesn’t matter. he is entirely irrelevant. thinking about dean internalising this as just what you do, just how people behave and how they should behave. him viewing selfish as the worst thing you can possibly be.
then thinking about sam growing up and fighting. brave enough to challenge their father and rebel against him and voice something different, brave enough to focus on what he wants. dean seeing this and it stings - he could never do that. how is sam acting like that? he can’t believe that’s the right way to behave. so sam must be selfish, just in believing he has any right to his own life.
dean sublimates himself for the family and expects sam to do the fame, and his resentment and jealousy that sam doesn’t turns into anger and making sam out to be the mean one, the one in the wrong. and this never goes away. this is always what dean levels at sam - that he’s selfish, that in wanting to make his own choices he’s rejecting their family, rejecting dean……. awful. toxic. evil evil message to send to sam. entirely in character. dean wants to prioritise sam, would save him over the world. but he doesn’t care what sam wants.
selflessness isn’t always a charming character trait. it’s not the same thing as a generosity of spirit and it’s definitely not the same thing as being caring. sometimes selflessness just means you’re incapable of prioritising your life and incapable of understanding how anyone else could or should prioritise theirs. sometimes it means you still act selfishly, you just convince yourself you were objectively in the right, because doing something actually for yourself is unthinkable. sometimes it means you think the very act of having wants and boundaries is selfish, no matter whether they’re yours or anyone else’s.
anyway… thoughts on dean’s specific brand of awfulness regarding sam. what does it matter to him what sam actually wants? since when did it ever matter in the winchester household what anyone wanted? dean had to deal with things he didn’t want for the mission (for john). sam has to deal with things he doesn’t want for the mission (for dean). augh. the cycles

Ok Peni Parker’s age is definitely up to interpretation,(4year differential)simply because of her og suit in ITSV. We don’t(not that I remember)see it in the comics. That means, to an extent, this is not the same Peni Parker as the comics. (as with most of the spiders) But I still think a lot of the same events happen. For instance, her canon event that had her so sad in ATSV was most likely still the VEN#m suit with Addy Brock and May.
Timeline:
In the comics at age 9 she takes her fathers place to pilot the SP//dr Suit and joins spiderverse/spidergeddon at age 14. After spiderverse is when M.O.R.B.I.U.S. and VEN#m happen. Then she is recruited to spidergeddon again.
Following this timeline, she was probably 12/13 in the first movie(a case could be made for 11), making her 13/14 in the new movie with the 16 mo. jump.

Winter Wonderland
The snow flurried around the shivering hero, who adjusted their thin coat.
The villain, bundled in appropriate winter clothing, raised an eyebrow.
“Frostbite will kill you before I do.” They commented. “Didn’t you check the forecast?“
“I don’t have winter clothes.” The hero said through chattering teeth. “I was relocated here with no notice.”
“Ah.”
The hero glared at the villain’s relaxed stance.
“Well? Are we doing this or not?”
The villain folded their arms, once again taking in the hero’s shivering form, down to the not snow appropriate shoes hastily put on over the normal fighting gear.
“Yeah, no. While I think the movement would be good for you, you’re most definitely going to slip and crack your head open the second you try anything risky.”
Huffing, the hero threw their arms out to the side, stamping one foot on the snow covered ground, creating a crunching sound. “What sort of villain are you!”
“A fair one?”
“You’re literally trying to blow up city hall!”
The villain rolled their eyes. “Well I was, until you managed to dismantle the explosives. Consider the day saved. We’ll do this part,” they motioned vaguely. “another time.”
“No.” The hero frowned. “We’re going to fight, and I’m going to take you to jail.”
With a smug grin, the villain cocked their head to the side. “Alright, then.” They held out their arms. “I’ll let you have the first shot.”
The hero lunged.
The hero slipped.
The hero fell.
But then the villain was there, catching the hero mere inches from the icy surface they had slipped on.
“We’ll do this another time, yeah?” The villain said with a sense of finality, hauling the hero upward, bringing them face to face.
The hero could feel their face burning in embarrassment, in frustration. They weren’t accustomed to being clumsy, and they certainly weren’t accustomed to the sudden proximity, the warmth that came with it.
Their face burned even more as they shoved the villain away.
“Yeah.” The hero said finally. “Another time.”
“Good. I look forward to you properly foiling my plans.”
The hero only nodded, thinking of how they would explain this to the higher ups.
“Well?” The villain’s tone was expectant, hands on their hips. “Run along. And by that I mean walk, carefully this time.”
Once the hero was well out of sight, the villain let themself smile, alighting their hands as they set to work, melting down the ice to create a more agreeable pathway.
They looked forward to their next encounter.

trying to explain that i hate stranger things not in a “cringe compilation tiktok eddie fan hate account” way but in a “i am genuinely critical of the show and it’s mistreatment of characters, poor writing, and overall messy plot and the main media i consume isn’t even from the original source material but from fan-made works because those are the only things that actually give these characters the arcs and storylines they deserve” way 😁
