[image transcript- Harry and MJ get into an silent competition about whose heeled boots make them taller. At the end of the week Norman looks at a bill and asks "How much did you spend on shoes?" Harry, looking embarrassed, says "Oh, that was for MJ. You, uh, know how chicks are."]
I love spending hours drawing a joke that could have been a 10-second text post. Play psychological games, win psychological prizes

Lol small question, but what would Oliver name his ‘Parker luck’ as,(since spider man sorta have that luck) I assuming ‘Octavious luck’ but what would you say?
I don't actually believe in "Spider-Man luck" as a cross-character phenomenon, contrary to recent multiversal jokes. Sure, spider-people are cursed with embarrassing everyday problems and bad work-life balance, but so are half the Marvel heroes. And you don't hear about the Stark luck or Banner luck or even Jess Drew luck. It's just Peter Parker who processes things that way.
Peter Parker imagines himself as uniquely cursed for many reasons. Trying not to "burden" other people with his problems, he rarely realizes how many other people are struggling similarly. It feeds his chronic main character syndrome and lets him avoid admitting how many of his problems are his own damn fault. It's also a pressure release valve for the frustration of being poor—he can't afford to fix minor problems until they've become emergencies, and if he thought about that too hard he'd go nuts.
All these things are true of ollieverse Peter, so Peter still refers to his own Parker luck. Oliver is somewhat better off than Peter financially, and more obsessive about cause and effect and statistics. How can you address a problem if you wave away the root of it as "luck"?
But everyone has One Of Those Days sometimes, and it's not like he has no way to refer to that—
