I feel like folks who argue Miles needs to lose his Dad in order to not cheapen the entire conflict of ‘trying to eat both cakes w/o consequence’ are like. a) treading the line of cynicism, and b) not recognising the fact that atsv already has Miles face the conflict of wanting two very disparate things and at the end of the day, having to choose the one that aligns with a version of yourself you can be proud of, even when that choice brings you grief and you can’t make it knowing things may eventually turn out okay.
Miles is forced to choose between inaction regarding fate (and also the support of his friends aligned with this position) and the action he believes is intrinsic to his mantle as a hero (and his love for his family). And at the end of the day, no matter the grief and pain, Miles has the strength to walk away from his friends and an ideological position he cannot contend with.
He’s willing to give them up, no matter how much it hurts, because the alternative with their support is unthinkable. He already knows the pain of being unable to have everything you want.

Aaron being single and all gets the attention of a few ladies around the area. They know he has a daughter. They all be like ‘I’ll be her mommy for him’.
When said women start dating Aaron they barely last a week because y/n scares them away.
Aaron notices and is kinda proud of his daughter being overprotective of him.
She would do pranks like flour in hair dryer, ballon dropped on head full of glue and glitter, laxative in food.
She would act all good girl in front of her dad but when he turns his back it’s game over.
(I Love this one!)
Aaron was lonely, He a man pushing 45 was single with his daughter as his main company, and though he loved you pices the company of a 10 year old can only be tolerated so long, and it wasn't like he wasn't attracting women it was just they never stayed more than a week, and after Diana he simply wasn't willing to put himself through all that again.
Women thought highly of him for being a competent single Dad and thought that you needed a Mommy, and sure you wanted a Mommy, but you could feel that these women didn't really care about you, you were just a stepping stone to Aaron. And you weren't having it.
The first was Linda who was warded off by your posioning of the food with laxitives, sure she could never prove it, but it was you.
The second was Mira scared off by a can of hair spray and a lighter.
The third was Tiff who was a germaphobe, so you being the normal child you were found a dead rat, came home to find her sitting on the couch, and threw it at her.
Of course Aaron didn't know about these events, if he had he would chastise you, but from his perspective he simply could not keep a woman.
Aaron: "I don't know what wrong? Am I just past my prime?"
Jeff: "I mean yeah, your 45"
Aaron: "I know I know, but It's like I got some lady I see once of twice and once I bring her home, she's gone"
Jeff: "You think it's the house?"
Aaron: "What is wrong with my house?!"
Jeff: "I don't know, it might spook her off"
Aaron: "There is nothing wrong with my home, and besides what would you know, you haven't been in the game for 10 years now you got Rio"
Jeff: "Yeah...I am lucky aren't I"
Aaron: "Ay! Keep your mind on one thing!"
Jeff: "Do you think...maybe it's Y/n?"
Aaron: "What do you mean?"
Jeff: "Sometimes when you aren't around she starts acting a menace"
Aaron: "Ha, your lying"
Jeff: "No man seriously, Miles says she's running a gum black market at school, dealing it out her piece for pocket change"
Aaron: "Come on man that's harmless"
Jeff: "MULTIPLE times I've had teachers come up and tell me how Y/n's been caught stealing from the school"
Aaron: "Oh really? And what she stealing?"
Jeff: "Paint, markers, a stapler, a chair"
Aaron: "If any of this is true, why haven't been told?"
Jeff: "Because all the teachers are to busy fawning over you! I'm telling you man Y/n is a little devil"
Aaron: "I think you and I are talkin bout different people" He rolls his eyes, but later in the day he can't stop thinking about what Jeff said, were you a different person when he was gone?
So he started watching you a little more, some would call it stalking, but is it really stalking if it's your own daughter? So he found himself observing you from across the road of Brooklyn Middle, and just as Jeff said, handing out bits on gum, and being handed change, but that was just small, kids stuff right? And he was proud that you were only ten and already a hustler, but were you also a thief?
That Friday Once school ended and he was waiting for you outside the gate having you rush over to him come home time noticed you were struggling to carry along your bag.
Aaron: "You want to me to carry that for you?"
Y/n: "No, It's fine"
Aaron: "You sure? it looks heavy"
Y/n: "Really Pa I'm good"
Suspicious
Later that night Aaron found himself sifting through your bag, only at the bottom to find a selcection of books, that weren't yours? He took out the books and placed them on the dinner table and waited for Saturday morning to confront you, and come Saturday morning you emerged from your room with tired little eyes to see your school bag had been emptied onto the table, and your stolen books had been found.
Aaron: "explain yourself"
Y/n: "Uhhhhh....Those are Floras...she asked me to hold them for her"
Damm she's a bad lair.
Aaron: "Y/n, This" He held up a thick textbook. "Is a Arabic language revision book"
Y/n: "Yeah?"
Aaron: "Flora dose not speak Arabic, if your going to lie to me least have it be consistent"
Y/n: "You don't Know she might" Your Dad raised an eyebrow at you, where you really going to try spin this?
Aaron: "get back in your room"
Y/n: "What?"
Aaron: "get back to your room, now, you can come out when your ready to tell me the truth"
Y/n: "Bu-"
Aaron: "Back! Now"
Y/n: "Fine! Whatever"
Aaron: "Don't whatever me young lady!"
It had been two hours now and still neither of you were budging, your Dad would pop in your room and ask 'You ready to talk?' To wtich he had met radio silence from you and a blank stare.
And he thought to maybe call some of his old flings, as them how they were, catch up.
Calling Mira...
ring

Mira: "What do you want?"
Aaron: "Hii Mira...I know it's been awhile since we last tak-"
Mira: "What do you want Aaron?"
Aaron: "I was just wondering if you'd like to come round and have dinner, we could catch up"
Mira: "You still got that daughter of yours?"
Aaron: "uh Yes?"
Mira: "I am not gonna put my self round that psychotic little girl of yours-"
Aaron: "Excuse me?"
Mira: "Good bye Aaron, Don't be calling me again til you get rid of that thing!"
Aaron: "The Fuc-"
Call ended
Calling Tiff

Tiff: "You got alot of nerve calling me Aaron"
Aaron: "you just picked up and you already mad?"
Tiff: "What do you want?""
Aaron: "Damm, you are you so mad?"
Tiff: "Your child threw a dead animal at me"
Aaron: "Sorry, what?"
Tiff: "Did I stutter?"
Call ended
Aaron didn't need to call Linda to see a pattern forming, you were a diffrent person when he turned his back...but what now? He knew you were stealing things you simply didn't need, and throwing dead animals at people and scaring off all the women, he re entered your room.
Aaron: "Y/n"
Y/n: "Yes?"
Aaron: "You gonna tell me why I just got off the phone with Tiff, and she told me you threw a dead animal at her?"
...
Aaron: "Well did you?"
Y/n: "...No"
Aaron: "Don't lie to me girl I leave you at Auntie Rio's house and we both know how that gose If I tell her what you've been doing"
Y/n: "...maybe "
Aaron: "WHY?!"
Y/n: "Because...just because?"
Aaron: "Just because? Your gonna have to come up with a better answer than that before I start meting dolls"
Y/n: "Melt them...Mom will just buy me more"
Aaron: "Well Maybe You'd just like to live with Diana wouldn't you?"
Y/n: "Maybe I would"
Aaron: "Really? Really you wanna go stay with your Mom?"
Y/n: "Maybe I DO!"
Aaron: "Fine, start packing a bag because you ain't living here no more"
Y/n: "FINE"
Aaron: "FINE!" He slammed the door, realising he, a grown man pushing 40 had just stepped down to the level of his 10 year old, he heard rummaging coming from your room only for you to burst out the door with a suitcase ready to leave.
Y/n: "I'm ready, when do we leave?"
...
Aaron: "I-Baby I was kidding-"
Y/n: "Well I wasn't, I wanna stay with Mom"
Aaron: "...Well I'm not gonna shofer you there"
Y/n: "Fine, I'll go there myself" You declared as you went to make your dramatic exit, Aaron thought you were just pulling a stunt, you would drop the bag and aplogise, until he saw you turn the knob and begin to step out.
Aaron: "NOPE" He grabbed you by the back of your shirt and hoisted you up into the air and you flinged yourself around trying to get free.
Y/n: "PUT ME DOWN!!"
Aaron: "I did not fight for majority custody just for you to throw it back in my face!" He yelled as he plopped you back into your room shutting the door on you and keeping your packed bag, holding the door closed as you hit it with your tiny 10 year old fists.
Y/n: "LET ME OUT LET ME OUT LET ME OUT!"
Aaron: "You keep yellin your just staying in there longer!"

What-If The Rock Never Came Back?
The WWE after the unfortunate retirement of superstar, and champion Edge, was a baron wasteland shallow on talent. Arguably, a worse roster than the first couple of years post-Hulk Hogan in the mid-1990’s. Where at least then creative was willing to take risks and search for new guys to be that top Babyface, WWE didn’t feel the need to do that and instead relied heavily on John Cena and Randy Orton, and called in favors whenever they felt it necessary.
Chris Jericho, Kevin Nash, Triple H, The Undertaker dragged out of retirement with mixed results. Though Jericho was successful, the company pushed their chips in the middle of the table for the pasty Irishmen Shaemus. A wrestler who makes Roman Reigns look awesome in comparison. To put it bluntly, Shaemus was disgusting.
This era seemed all too hapless. Alberto Del Rio, a decent heel, talented wrestler won the Royal Rumble and faced the champion Edge in the third match on the WrestleMania card. Before 2006, winning the rumble meant you would main event WrestleMania. But, like all things, corporate meddling ruins a perfectly good thing for no good reason. If Vince McMahon doesn’t believe Del Rio to be main event material, then put somebody else over at the event. Nobody overthinks and under-thinks likes the WWE.
If there’s one thing WWE did right it was how they told the three-year story of John Cena and his feud with returning superstar The Rock. Starting off at WrestleMania 27, Cena gunning for The Miz’ WWE Championship. Though creative did allow Rock to bury both Miz and Cena, it is an otherwise small blemish on a well told, large scale story.
Miz deserves credit for getting himself over. His name is stupid. He has a very punchable face. His brash, egotistical demeanor built him up to status of champion. His fame from the Reality TV show MTV’s The Real World: Back to New York shotgunned him to stardom. He started appearing on Jimmy Fallon’s show and for the first time in a while WWE had an organic star. Cashing in his Money in the Bank briefcase on Randy Orton on a November 22nd episode of Raw after Orton defended against Wade Barrett.
Heading into ‘Mania, Miz was 133 days into what’ll end up as a 160 day title reign. Rock overseeing the festivities foreshadowed the larger tale in its beginning stages. The Miz retained twice that night. Once on a count-out, the other when Rock intervened and Rock Bottomed Cena from behind. The Miz left still the champion. But with Rock standing above his lifeless body after taking a devastating Spinebuster, followed by a People’s Elbow, the Miz’ push was effectively over as we transitioned wholly into the Rock-Cena feud.
Outside of The Miz, WWE didn’t really bulldoze anyone while building to their “Once in a lifetime” fantasy match. In fact, someone else rose to prominence during all of this. C.M Punk. The C.M stands for many things. Chick Magnet. Chicago Made. Punk dallied around in the second tier of WWE contending for the World Heavyweight Championship strap. Gaining wins over the likes of The Undertaker, Jeff and Matt Hardy, and Batista.
His intel gimmick was promoting his “Straight Edge” persona. Normally an Atheist, Punk portrayed himself as a cult leader absolving troublemakers of their sins. Wrapped around his fists is tape with big X’s on each hand. This is what club bouncers would do to underaged club attendants to notify bartenders not to drink. On his knuckles “Drug” and “Free” are tattooed. Punk lived this gimmick and cranked it up to 11.
Eventually, Punk’s gimmick ran out of steam and he was forced to go back to the drawing board. With his contract set to expire after 2011’s Money in the Bank, Punk was set to square up against champion Cena. In effort to juxtapose himself with the usually straight laced Cena, Punk decided to incorporate his real-life frustrations with WWE’s creative into a promo one night on Raw. Promising to take the belt with him out of the WWE showing no intentions of re-signing. Punk mentioned that Hulk Hogan, Rock, and Cena was good for was kissing Vince McMahon’s ass. He derided the fans for their superficiality. Harangued the McMahon Family for their stupidity. Punk wasn’t just an average run of the mill heel to be beaten. Punk portrayed himself as someone with a purpose.
How this was all packaged felt so unnatural fans actually believed Punk was leaving the WWE whether he won or lost. That even if he did win, he’d just leave as champion. With special guest referee Triple H watching, Punk defeated Cena (though Cena clearly had his foot on the ropes rendering the pin nullified, HHH didn’t see it) and absconded with the belt never to return...
Tumblr media
He’d be back in eight days.
The new champion was fan favorite Rey Mysterio. A 5-foot, 6 inch Mexican luchador. His only main title was his brief reign as World Heavyweight Champion years ago. Just as fast Rey rose to the top he found himself in the mid card. Still, after defeating a lukewarm The Miz in a meh match the crowd become unglued. Their masked hero was given the push he deserved. Though it wasn’t on the grandest of stages it didn’t matter.
In less than an hour Cena would take the belt back from Rey.
One word: Bastards.
Why act like you’re giving the fans something they desperately wanted only to take it away so fast? Having Rey as champion meant nothing. He didn’t even hold it for a week.
Anyways, Cena is champion only to again fall to Punk at a match for Summerslam. Within minutes, Money in the Bank winner Del Rio would cash-in his briefcase and win the belt for himself. Del Rio was in the tournament Mysterio won for Punk’s vacant belt. He lost to Kofi Kingston in the first round. I understand why you can’t have a heel vs heel match for the championship, but of all the people to get one over on the conniving Punk why does it have to be the uninspiring Del Rio?
This was basically done to get Cena out of the title picture so he could let Rock go over at ‘Mania. Why does Rock need to win at ‘Mania you ask? Because we need a reason to do this again the next year. Why do we need to this same match again next year? Because fuck you.
Punk entered WrestleMania the champ, winning the strap back from Del Rio at Survivor Series. Punk would go on to hold the belt for 442. A returning Chris Jericho came in second in the Royal Rumble and earned himself a title shot, losing by submission. This was the highest profile win for Punk during his long reign.
Punk’s title reign came to an end at the hands of The Rock at the Royal Rumble to set up a rematch with Cena. While the first Cena-Rock match did gangbusters at the box office was well received critically, the second incarnation fell flat. We can’t really blame WWE for chasing the cash. That’s their prerogative as a corporation.
But say we lived in a perfect world? What-if Rock simply never came back?
Well, WrestleMania 27 goes down as perhaps the biggest disaster in the companies history since WrestleMania 9. That card was severely lacking in star power which is exactly why The Rock was needed to host. The top heel going into the event was a mysterious G.M who only made their presence known via email from a laptop next to the announce table.
WrestleMania 28, Cena likely goes into the PPV the challenger to face the champion Punk. Royal Rumble winner Shaemus (yuck) sadly beats World Heavyweight Champion Daniel Bryan in 18 seconds.
The biggest loser is Jericho. Given absolutely nothing to do, despite being incredibly talented and superior to Shaemus. In our timeline, Jericho earned his title shot by winning a Ten Man Battle Royal on Raw. That definitely doesn’t happen. WWE was pushing Shaemus HARD. In my perfect world, Jericho and Bryan have a show higher up on the card with the young heel Bryan going over.
But, as we’ve previously established. The WWE run by a bunch of talentless, thoughtless bastards who wage constant war with the people they are supposed to try and get money from.
For my preferred scenario, Bryan going over even with the secondary belt probably placates his rapid fans for at least a few more years.
Cena likely goes over Punk clean as a whistle after losing (via shenanigans) twice before.
From simply making The Rock disappear we’ve cost the WWE millions, elevated Bryan, and destroyed Punk’s illustrious lengthy title reign.
The second year of this scenario, instead of a “Worst Year of Cena’s Life” shtick, perhaps we’re treated to his best year. He main events every PPV, successfully defends his title beating back various heels. Cena’s title reign is unspectacular outside of the walls of WWE.
Tumblr media
Okay, on second thought... Punk retains. He retains versus Cena, Jericho, Kane, Ryback, Orton, simply runs through the roster. At the Royal Rumble with no Rock to push Punk down a peg he retains heading into WrestleMania 29. The only hurdle he hasn’t overcome is The Undertaker and his WrestleMania Streak of 20-0.
Does Punk end The Streak? Should he? Oh, hell no! Punk probably had one foot out the door by then for a multitude of understandable reasons. Regardless, the money in this universe is pitting Streak vs Streak.
Our good friend Daniel, his reign eventually ends, but he isn’t shuffled so far down the card so his epic, long-standing push culminating in his crowning achievement in WrestleMania 30 is pushed back a year or two. Maybe in WrestleMania 31 it’s Bryan in Seth Rollins place cashing in his MITB briefcase mid-match to steal the World Heavyweight Championship from under Brock Lesnar and Roman Reign’s noses.
