This week on "character a day" Modern witches (plus one vampire)
I had intended to start this week off by drawing a bunch of monsters and cool stuff but I immediately got sidetracked with the image in my head of a cat raising their arms to "cast a spell." And then bam, it's all cute witches week.
And well, there's also Penelope the Spider Girl who I'm borrowing from my "Magical Girl SCP" setting for fun.
Flavor text is as follows:
"Let our dark work commence, Baltimore!"
"It's my vampire costume!" said Penelope, the spider girl.
"Here for two orders. One for Serenius, Daughter of the Eight Moons. Another for Dave P."
Holliday E'vryday just debuted her newest outfit for Halloween. She does this for every holiday and spends a bundle commissioning new looks for her avatar but she loves showing them off everytime. And it keeps her artist friends in work!
Janice had a simple rule for surviving the city. Every five degrees colder her coat gets five percent bigger.

Yoo, can I request a fic/hc's of Miguel with a Black Cat variant Male Reader?? 👉👈
Enemies to lovers, antagonizing, flirting, banter ykyk
ੈ✩‧₊˚𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐬: i am finally done resting and im taking a break writing with that one fic HELP i swear its coming out but n e ways I LOVE THIS i had fun writing this aaaaaaaaaa!!! im thinking of making this a multi parts again bc i so SO love this dynamic and the possible scenarios
Tumblr media
okay so reader here, you, becomes Black Cat after growing up in the slums, seeing the brutality of poverty and the greediness of capitalist pigs. you said enough was enough and it was time to eat the rich!! 
so you joined underground rings, fighting for mostly the experience and money when people bet on you so could survive. but it wasn’t enough you needed to learn more and it was a good thing you caught the eye of someone strong. you saw him before but you figured he was just a crazy homeless dude but boy you were wrong when he showed you to his house, a whole ass fucking mansion, in the Nueva York City. apparently he was the infamous Black Cat and you got his attention and bam, now you became the heir to his name and got a father as an extra. there, he taught you all he know, all martial arts, and even shared information about the celebrities and criminals that resided in the city.
after years had gone by, he faked his death and lived somewhere place far away because he was old and retired. you finally made your official debut as the Black Cat by ransacking the money drawers of a corrupt well-known Judge who accepted bribes and let criminals run free. the whole world’s eyes were on the newest Black Cat who made another robbery headline. you know who got his eyes on you as well? Spiderman.
colour you surprised when the next time you decided to steal from a known rich man who planned to destroy Atlantica for some project he wants, a big burly man with wide shoulders and hella sharp tons started chasing after you. not really, you were expecting to see him as your father warned you about him.
“Put those bags away.” He warned with a growl after he shot a spider web at you to try and get you stuck. “Now.”
You were in the middle of running away after stealing bags of cash from the rich man’s vault of money but the sudden entrance of Spiderman blocking your exit greeted you. It didn’t matter because it was one of the multiple exits you had planned beforehand anyways. And even if you run out of exits, you could always create one.
“How about no, Mr. Spiderman?” you grinned, showing off your pearly whites to him.
“I wasn’t asking.” He took off and ran immediately after you, hot on your tails. Like a cat, your reflexes were fast enough to move the second he moved as well and you ran down the hallways. You ran, sometimes pushing some obstacles for him to enjoy. It did nothing to slow him down of course, but it did annoy him and that was all you wanted. 
He let out a frustrated growl and with enough anger as his adrenaline, he jumped at you and got down to the ground.
“Oh? You’re this excited for me even though we just met, Spidey?” He grabbed your arms and pinned you against the floor.
“Aren’t you a confident one?” His mask disappeared and he revealed his handsome chiselled face, his hair falling down onto you. He opened his mouth, fangs sharpening to bite you but you knew this beforehand.
“Save your bites when we’re in bed,” you smirked at him, “and when there isn’t a whole ceiling coming down at you.” He immediately looked up to see a swinging ceiling clearly about to fall. The moment he looked up, the strength in his hands lessened a tiny bit but for you, it was enough. You kicked him and pushed him away and yourself in different directions, not forgetting the bags of money you were after in the first place.
As the ceiling got destroyed, you had long gone with another successful heist and left an everlasting impression on Miguel O’Hara with a need to chase after you again.

So I was browsing Tumblr since I like to do that sometimes, and bam! I got hit with a fic inspiration... Anyway here you go misfits! (This is set after the new hotel is built)
Girls' day feat. Angel Dust:
“Uh why the fuck is he here?”
Those words came out when the last of the invited arrived at Charlie’s little get-together. It was Angel Dust wearing a beautiful pink crop top and black shorts with sparkly neon pink heels as he grinned. “I was invited toots.”
“Ya got a problem with Angie?” Cherri growled at Vaggie, who lifted her hands in defense. “No, just thought he'd be with the guys..”
Angel Dust just laughed. “You're just jealous cause I can easily out girl ya toots.” He playfully sneered, fluffing up his sexy chest fluff.
Vaggie just growled a bit, though blinked as she heard the door only to see Charlie come back with the cutest looking outfit on, which was free flowing grey crop top with small sleeves that exposed her shoulders and a beautiful pair of casual jeans. Instantly she blushed a bit and looked away. “Ha, look at the blush on the fuckin’ munchkin!” Cherri chuckled, nudging her best friend Angel who joined in with a snicker. Even Niffty who sat on the couch couldn't help but giggle. “She looks like a lamp.”
Charlie pursed her lips clearly not liking the teasing. She flashed the others with her demonic red and white eyes to get them to stop. “Uh whoops, so uh what cha got in the box?” Angel laughed nervously.
“I'm glad you asked, since it's a girl's day I figured we could have a fun spa session!” The princess grinned, placing the box down and opening it.
Inside said box was a bunch of different skin care products, nail polish, scented body lotions, and much more. “I ain't one for just relaxin’ but Angie convinced me.” Cherri stated picking up one of the nail polish, a beautiful shimmering yellow like his eyes. Her face fell since it had only been several weeks since the battle with heaven.
“Seriously Cherri, ya needed it, besides we all miss our little snake.” Angel placed one of his arms around her. “Now let's see how this color looks on ya sugar tits.” He grinned trying to cheer up his best bud.
Vaggie smiled a bit. She knew the loss of Sir Pentious weighed on everyone. However, with the new hotel, it was a chance to move forward. She went over to the box and smirked. “He did like the smell of mint.” The angel held up some hand lotion to Cherri, who blinked.
“There wasn't a day where I didn't see that snake with either a cup of coffee or tea.” Angel mused as Cherri took the lotion with a nod. To her it felt weird, people actually being nice, to have had a man who complimented her mind instead of her hot as fuck body, and that kiss, fuck it had been kinda hot.
Cherri smirked a bit. “He was fun to pick on, the slimy shit.” She took off her gloves and casually applied the lotion. It really wasn't her style but she didn't mind it.
Charlie smiled a bit seeing how Cherri relaxed. She was hoping to recruit the bombardier but the woman had turned her down. “So Angel..” She smirked in a sing-song like tone. “I saw the eyes you were giving Husk. What's up with that?” She playfully poked the spider.
Angel blinked and cleared his throat. Even Cherri looked up at him and smirked evilly. “Don't you start too!” He groaned but blinked as Niffty giggled.
“I'm not one for the gay stuff, but I did notice ehehe. He always pours your drink first.” She smirked with her wide toothy grin. “I think that cat has grown soft.”
Angel blinked at Niffty, but then had a soft smile of his own. “During the before battle shit I wanted to stick by the guy and enjoy his drinks and company.” He admitted with a light blush.
“I saw you two flirtin’ durin’ the whole thing!” Cherri nudged with a grin.
Charlie squeed having the same look she had when Sir Pentious confessed his crush for Cherri to her. “I'm rooting for you Angel!”
Vaggie lightly punched his arm. “You got this.”
Angel just chuckled and hugged the girls. “Daww you ladies are makin’ me blush!” He grinned. “Now which of these would Kitty like?” He asked while releasing the girls so he could dig through the box.
Charlie smiled and picked out a gorgeous starry night nail polish. “This would look so good on you, Vaggie!” She grinned as Vaggie blinked. “Alright hon, go ahead.”
Angel chuckled seeing Charlie take out a nail care kit first. “Could you do my nails too blondie?” He asked “Sure!”
Cherri blinked being tugged on by Niffty who held up a very pretty perfume bottle. “Try this, it smells really nice!” The little maid grinned, spritzing some onto Cherri’s wrist. “Oh, it's kinda got a musky scent.” She mused as Niffty nodded. “It smells nice doesn't it?”
“Reminds me of the shit Pen would wear.” Angel replied with a smirk. “Where’d ya find that one Niff?”
“I got it from the store, I also sprayed every bottle so I could find the right one.” She snickered since she made the clerk really pissed that day.
“Ya turned the store into a mustard gas situation?!” Cherri smirked and ruffled Niffty’s hair. “Yer a fuckin’ freak, I like ya.”
Angel rolled his eyes but then looked at Vaggie and tilted his head. “Hey toots, why are ya sittin’ cross legged?” He asked with a playful smirk. “Are ya tryin’ to hide your tiny ass feet?”
Vaggie flipped him off. “I don't see you taking off your heels. So you don't get to say shit.” She retorted with a smug look.
Angel grumbled and flipped her off right back. He didn't exactly like his feet, hell when he did his pornos he begged Val to keep his sexy heels on mentioning that sick fucks would be extra horny for the mystery. Cherri looked over and got up. “Hey Angie?”
“Yeah?” Angel looked at Cherri. “Wanna try on these fuckin’ sexy ass heels?” She grinned showing Angel some beautiful black leather laced up heeled boots.
The spider demon's eyes lit up as he took the shoes. “Fucking hell Cherri Bomb, where did ya get these beauties?”
Vaggie blinked and tilted her head. “Those actually look nice…” She added seeing the beautiful pink trim along the top and sole. “I know right? Bought these bitches for Angie cause the fucker loves his sexy heels.” Cherri showed a wide grin as Angel chuckled.
Charlie giggled, seeing the heels. “What are you waiting for? Try them on Angel!” She playfully coaxed, having finished applying the nail polish to Vaggie's beautiful nails.
Angel blushed a bit however looked at the girls. “Turn around for a sec and I will.” He replied looking at his glittery heels.
Vaggie noticed his hesitation and sighed. She was going to regret this but took off her own heels to reveal cute little feet making Charlie squeak. “You want me to paint these too?” She asked as Vaggie nodded.
Angel blinked at the gesture, he then looked at Cherri who looked a bit surprised but smirked. “Don't worry Angie, I'll beat any dumbfuck who messes with ya.” The bombshell grinned patting her spider boi on the shoulder.
The pornstar gulped a bit but nodded as he started undoing the buckles of his beautiful sparkly boots. He gave Vaggie a small thankful nod as the latter smiled a bit. Soon his small cute spider-like clawed feet wiggled free, tipped with his pinkish white fur and small little claws. He looked over and spotted Charlie who had removed her own shoes revealing small red hooves. “Huh…” He smiled a bit, feeling a little less awkward thanks to the two girls.
“Here catch.” Vaggie tossed Angel some beautiful glittery neon pink nail polish. “Hey thanks Vags.” He smirked looking it over.
Cherri blinked but smirked a bit. These folks were alright in her book even if some were a stickler for the rules. “Here let me apply it.” She asked Angel who blinked. “Oh sure..”
Niffty easily grabbed one of Charlie’s hooves, making the princess yelp and started to look it over. “Ooo! Kinda like what Alastor has, except yours are smaller than his..” The maid giggled only to be accidentally kicked in the face when she touched a ticklish spot.
“Shit! Sorry Niff!” Charlie gasped, looking horrified. “Yay pain!” The maid cooed springing back up from the wall she had smacked into because of the power behind the kick. “Do it again!”
Cherri just laughed. “Damn, looks like the goody two shoes has some power. Ya practically punted the tiny bitch.” She smirked as Charlie groaned. “I didn't mean to!”
Vaggie had to shoo Niffty away to keep the maid from trying to get Charlie to kick her again. “Hey Niff, check this out, there's bleach in the next room!” Angel smirked as the maid instantly scurried off with a rabid expression and grin. “Thanks…” Charlie sighed in relief.
Angel winked at Vaggie as a ‘the favor has been repaid’ gesture. The angel smirked a bit and casually started to pamper those cute little hooves. “It's a spa day isn't it, you get some pampering too princesa.” (Princess)
Charlie blushed as Vaggie massaged the ankles. She then looked over at Angel who smirked playfully. “Aww ain't that cute, betcha two get into some fun kinky shit in the bedroom eh?” He teased as Charlie started to blush and sizzle. “I think they're those vanilla type fuckers. Looks like it anyway.” Cherri smirked as Vaggie grumbled trying to pay no mind to the teasing though her golden blush was starting to show again.
The more lewd duo laughed amused at the flustered couple's reaction, though Angel smirked a bit at his painted toe nails, he soon slipped on those beautiful boots looking more comfortable.
--
While everyone was chatting, Charlie got a phone call. “I'll be right back, babe.” She gave Vaggie a kiss on the cheek and left to take it.
Cherri and Angel smirked at Vaggie who gave a confused look. “What?”
“Hey feather duster, wanna spice yourself up for your girl?” Angel smirked holding up some lotions. “Don't cha wanna see yer blondie practically fuckin’ sizzlin’?” Cherri chimed in with a playful smirk. Niffty giggled seeing Vaggie squirm.
“I know what she likes, I don't need your help..” The angel turned away with a cute huff. Though the golden blush gave it away that she did want to.
Angel smirked and nodded at Cherri and Niffty. “This is gonna be fun.” The spider man took out a comb and some hair products. “W-wait!” Vaggie gulped while caught off guard.
After an hour Charlie came back into the room annoyed. “Husk says that my dad and Alastor are fighting again, and they nearly burned down the lobby with a cook off..” She groaned coming back into the room. “Huh?”
Cherri and Niffty blocked her view. “And done!” Angel grinned moving away. “Go ahead and let the blondie through.”
“Ehehehe, enjoy the treat princess.” Niffty bowed and scurried away.
Cherri gave a thumbs up and moved as Charlie looked very confused. “What are..” She couldn't finish her sentence as she then spotted Vaggie.
“Hi hon..” The angel blushed with her hair looking so fluffy and wavy now. There was even a braid that brought some of the bangs back to expose the soft features of Vaggie's face. Charlie just stared as the scent of both apples and lavender filled her nose. “Ha! She's speechless!” Cherri laughed and gave a thumbs up to Angel.
Angel chuckled but blinked, coming over to Charlie. “Uh hello? You there, blondie?” He poked her, and Charlie fell over red-faced. “Whoa!”
Cherri just burst out laughing as Vaggie ran over. “Ya made her a fuckin’ knock out Angie!”
“So… pwetty…” Charlie mumbled her eyes swirling with her tail out wagging. She looked like she was drunk. “Come on sweetie, let's get you off the floor..” Vaggie easily picked up Charlie who laid like a cute little snake, her face looking dopey and in love.
Vaggie looked at Angel who gave a smug look. She grumbled but fist bumped the spider twink who grinned at his work.
Though the rumbling of the hotel made this day come to an end as Lucifer was chasing Alastor who was laughing like a mad man, with Husk coming out and shaking his head, clearly not drunk enough for this shit.
(This all started because I saw Vaggie had tiny feet and remembered the fact Angel didn't like his own feet...)

My dream is to have a huge spiky gothic style castle where I section it off and each section has wildly different over the top aesthetic decor than the one before it.
Like the first section, where you walk in is super normal, just average house decor, it’s a living room and some guest rooms, very normal, the only thing weird here is that the carpet is orange and the walls have floral wallpaper from the 50s. Then, you walk fown a hall and BAM. Everything is ocean themed.
There’s a huge mural on one wall that makes it look like your in a bubble window underwater with all sorts of fish.
A bubble machine and ocean sound machine are going at all times. Sometimes you hear “yellow submarine” by the beetles playing
theres a tv that shows live footage of a reef and there’s a big saltwater aquarium on another section.
All the creatures have names, some of the rocks even have names, there’s a key on the side with all the names and what kind of creature/rock it is.
My cool butler takes care of them, he’s paid very well and has like 90 paid vacation days, when he’s on vacation I take care of the fish, he reminds me sometimes over text, and then reminds me that looking at water is not the same as drinking it and that I need to stay hydrated, he also tells me things about his vacations, like which foods I should ask the chef to make, or learn to make myself, like I said he’s very cool, anyways, off topic,
The next section is COMPLETELY GOTH.
You’ve stepped out of the submarine and into the vampires cave.
There are little bats and spiders and cats and ravens and crows EVERYWHERE. ITS AWESOME.
I have a pet raven in a room, her name is Lenore, she likes to sit on my shoulder, I take her to other parts of the house sometimes, she’s very smart.
There’s also my pet tarantula fiddlesticks, fiddle for short, I take him out of his enclosure sometimes but he doesn’t leave the goth section.
Speaking of the goth section, everything is red purple blue white and black, mostly black.
There’s goth music playing at all times, there’s a ballroom that I use to host goth club nights, it’s a castle after all, there’s a big French door that leads directly to the ballroom from the garden. It’s very cool.
Just when you think you’ll never escape the darkness and ungodly amount of moon cycles on the wall, you see a light.. BAM MAGIC FOREST.
Everything is green and orangish brown.and pastel
There’s fairy lights EVERYWHERE.
I keep my pet ponies Shorty and Sprinkles and my guard llama Dude, in a large closed off pasture near the garden, they get lots of apples and sugar cubes and hay along with all the yummy grass they graze on, you cannot ride any of them because they are too small, but I play with them everyday and teach them tricks every once in a while.
Back inside there are plants everywhere
there’s sparkles everywhere
There are bean bags that look like rocks and a bookcase that looks like it was built into a fake tree
there’s a little snack bar with cupcakes and rock candies and brownies and carrot cakes and pies and water and fruit flavored sodas and fun pastries.
Chef makes the snacks, Chef is cool, he’s really strong, I pay him a lot of money and he also has 90 days paid vacation a year, he mostly texts me recipes to ask if I think I’d like them. Chef also likes weed, he never makes weed brownies on the clock though. He’s very responsible.
I hire college students from the college near by at $25 an hour to run the fairy snack bar.
I host lots of parties here, parents can call and ask to rent it out for fairy themed birthday parties in a real life castle, of course it’s only a section of the castle, but it’s still a castle.
there’s another French door entrance but the glass has floral stained glass, it’s professionally done, it’s very pretty
There’s a dressing room with lots of outfits and dresses and they all look magical and they come in many different sizes, they are all thoroughly washed properly after each use by my maid. She’s really cool, she knows how to do a lot of stuff. Like Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, and race car driving, and knitting. She also gets paid very well and has 90 paid vacation days, I have a squish on her and she’s very inspiring, she teaches me the skills if I ask. She’s very cool. I text her pictures of things I make and she gives me encouragement. All my staff get along very well and it makes me happy. We have tea time and dinner together, it’s great.
And back to the fairy section there’s another ball room covered in fairy lights and plants, real and fake, there’s a DJ that takes all requests but otherwise plays music directly from ballroom scenes in fantasy movies and shows. He also gets paid well.
It’s very cool
I will add to this later but right now I do not have time

Spider-man rap:
After every fight, after every brawl, I come out standing tall,
You have the gall to bring up Paul, now I bring your downfall
I've always been the top dog, always the greatest, I never falter
You the one that got out-funked, you're the one that lost your swagger
I'm an Avenger, you a pretender.
Look at you, look at that outfit, that ain't the game,
The white, ghetto boy that took over all the fame,
Gotta be honest, your latest album was pretty lame.
Maybe I did lose Mary Jane,
I still got more girls than you got gains
I still got Gwen, Betty, Cat, Kitty, Captain Marvel and Silver Sable,
Where yo girl? You still sitting alone at the bar table
Look at you, you're nervous, you're sweatin', you're fulla doubt,
Just like with Gwen, I blew your mom's back out.
You call me a joke, say imma choke, that I'm white as coke
But don't get scared when I'm back in black and leave you broke
Don't fear the boogeyman, fear the Spider-man!
Hit you with the bam! Hit you with a wham!
This is the part where Icecube and Kevin Hart say 'daaaamn!'
You call yourself a rap God, I actually became a God!
You're nothing! You're as threatening as a discord mod
Now your kingdom in ruin, all by my doin', you've hit rock bottom
You angry? I missed the part where that's my problem.

Idk why i just imagine Emmet been like "INGO COME OVER HERE!!! WHAT IS THIS?!?!?!" "HOW THESE JOLTIKS KNOW THIS MOVE?!!? *insert any gliscor attack here" "WHY THIS JOLTIK IS WAY BIGGER THAN THE USUAL SIZE?!" "WHY THERE IS A BABY GLISCOR HERE TOO?!?!?!" "CARE TO EXPLAIN BROTHER?! 8)" hahaha he is not mad or anything is just wondering why his Gliscor is also a lady killer/casanova like his trainer (i am making a reference to that one magazine poll post where Ingo was first place in the most handsome pokemon trainer and Emmet got third place) he is happy tho ultimited size joltiks!!
Tumblr media
I AM HOLDING THIS TENDERLY. I AM TUCKING IT INTO BED. PATTING IT ON THE HEAD AND READING IT A BED TIME STORY.
Because this is the EXACT dramatic bullshittery playfulness that Emmet will unleash on Ingo. He's not actually mad but it's like 'MY BABY GIRL! HE STOLE HER INNOCENCE! NOW HE MUST MAKE THIS RIGHT AND TAKE HER MANDIBLE IN MARRIAGE. MAKE A PROPER SPIDER-LADY OUT OF HER.' Ingo's losing it trying to make clear replies as he cry laughs over Emmet just going ham on the absolute AUDACITY OF GLISCOR TO BED HIS BEAUTIFUL BABY SPIDER!!!! Turning around tells her she has good taste, that he's proud of her, she's beautiful, she'll be a great mom, spins back around and loses it AGAIN on Gliscor who's just cuddling the babies in blissful ignorance.
HOW DAAAARE YOU INGO, BRINGING THIS IN HOME WRECKING CASANOVA!!!!
Tumblr media
Of course they'll hold a tiny Spider/Bat-scorpion marriage and someone WILL give them a tiny bouquet to throw at Elesa's head as she dies laughing over Spider Marriage. Puts Gliscor in a pet tux which causes him to lose his shit like a cat and *bam* hits the ground in wide-eyed terror, refuses to move as they try to drag him around.
Elesa comes over and is like 'Emmet isn't this a bit much?' as he puts the cutest little veil on Galvantula and gets a room set up and turns to her like 'No, it is not nearly enough. I need a cake!'
Spoiled One and Princess (as the two shinys) are Flower Girls.
THIS IS SERIOUS BUSINESS, ELESA. JUST BECAUSE YOU'RE TOO SCARED TO PROPOSE DOESN'T MEAN GLISCOR IS!
Look Gliscor is like, TOTALLY into Galvantula, she's his spider-warrior-goddess in much the same way Lady Sneasler is to the Weaviles. But she's tinier and WILL kick his ass, and they will love every minute of it.
...They're kinda like the Pokemon equivalent of Morticia and Gomez Addams but less macabre. Peppy but equally ready to do horrible gruesome things. Very in love but also like. Will not hold back. Digs it 100%. (Is this a bug thing? MAYBE! At least she didn't eat her mate!)
Yet, like you said, he's like mentally REELING at the POSSIBILITIES!!! ALPHA JOLTIKS!!!!! ALPHA GALVANTULA!!! POISON HEAL MAYBE!!!! HE WILL MAKE THE ULTIMATE SPIDER MONSTER AND PLAY A TINY BOW ON HER HAIR. SHE SHALL BE NAMED PRINCESS (Though that's the shiny Gligar's temp name ATM). WHAT MOVES CAN BE LEARNED. HOW DO WE PASS ALPHA HERITAGE. HE'S DOING A JIG IN HIS HEAD BUT THAT'LL BE OUR LITTLE SECRET.
Once Ingo is actually able to BREATH again (Please Emmet, he can only take so much, his sides hurt), he'll be equally smitten by the lil alpha babies and OOOOO the POSSIBILITIES!!!!! He might not be as breeder-savy as Emmet, but he can spot a good combo when he sees one, and with how strong Galvantula is (like... yknow, outside of the games lol), how will this translate into Alphas? How does it mix with Gliscor? What, indeed, are the possibilities?
Princess will be a beautiful lil monster who will grow up to properly destroy the Battle Subway with a single Earthquake and thus forever earn her place as Ingo's favorite (....okay it's like a 15-way tie, but the point still stands!).
....I like this ship too. XD

You’ve heard of Black Cat!Y/N x Spider-Punk but hear me out: Prowler!Hobie x Spider!Y/N 🤭
You webbing the lil fucker’s hands to the bedpost as you ride him, and then out of frustration he rips it out and webs you to the bed instead~ I’m thinking it all started during one of their encounters in the alleyway near your place, bc MAN I CAN IMAGINE PROWLER HOBIE DRAGGING HIS CLAWED FINGERS ON YOUR HIPS TO TEASE HIS SPIDER TO RILE YOU UP🤤🤤
then bam! You both snuck into your place where things get heated: you both undressing each other from your alter ego’s gears, him fingering the fuck out of you as he fucks all of Spider-Woman’s coherent thoughts away with that good ass dick and hands of his~
(also hi hi, sorry if this ask is too horny but can I be the 💠 anon too?)
oh my god you absolutely ate that🤭 thank you for this, it was such an eye cleanse <3 and of course you can! welcome ^^

Intro
This post is similar to the last one in that it gives semantics that end up seemingly having a purpose or outcome. To put it succinctly, the basis of all this in theory comes from my book “108 The Story of Discovering Earth’s Consciousness.” The book is about how I came to the conclusion that the atmosphere, our planet, and stars are conscious. I talk about my personal life and what led me to think this along with the evidence as to why this could be true.
In the book I talk about “Knhoeing” which is the educational process and science of understanding how the planets, stars, and atmosphere are conscious. But in my posts about “Sentientism” and on this blog I take it a step further and assume Gaia’s conscious which forces me to postulate the idea of “how could she be communicating if she could?” The thought that I have come to at this point is that Gaia can use environmental semantics, like outside surroundings or media, in conjunction with telepathic randonauting and points of realization, to highlight cognition that affects behavior. 
I used to have five cosmic luves: Emma Watson, Hailee Steinfeld, Selena Gomez, Taylor Swift, and Jennifer Lawrence, but I haven’t talked about Jen in years because she got married. As you will see, this time around I decided to go “fishing” for semantics and added a new, old cosmic luve to the top 5. I basically asked for semantics and added Janelle Monae and semantics came from her. I’m also getting some semantic coincidences from “the boys,” specifically La Russell and Snoop Dogg, and a scary warning from Blue that I’ve brought up in the past recently and will finally fully explain on the Cosmic Luve blog in this post. 
Where we left off…
Last blog I talked about how Gaia got me an orange taco for my birthday. Alicia Keys ordered carrots in the club while Conner Price made a flute out of carrots, then Selena wore orange, her song reflected mine, and Taco Bell came out with a free taco tuesday promotion where I got a free orange Doritos Logos taco on my birthday.
These coincidences are starting to add up. Again, I don’t make up these coincidence, I tell you how they happen and how I see them. I intentionally post about the occurrences as they develop to show you my thought process and how the communication happens. Check the time stamp on the twitter posts to come. I have two questions: Do you think these coincidences are noteworthy and baffling, or do you not see the significance? And what else could be happening here if it wasn’t the planet communicating through telepathic powers?
I couldn’t be happier the way this is developing where I can actually log the account and narrate what is happening to me. This used to be so strong and happen all the time back when it started in 2014. For years I went without being able to describe or tell anyone about how this happens to me all the time. Although I’m still trying to derive meaning from the occurrences, I think the notion that Gaia is communicating is enough, at least for me, at least for now.
Ancient Greek Goddess
Before we get into the coincidences it’s worth mentioning, Gaia was always an ancient black goddess in my mind because that’s how she presented herself when I was going through my throes of schizophrenia. How she presented herself would be interactive. Her base form looked like the oracle from The matrix where she was sitting in the kitchen, then you would go back in her dark living room and she would turn into a smile like the cheshire cat in alice and wonderland with spider-like appendages. It was terrifying. 
But there was a room off the kitchen that had beads draped in front of it and when I opened it, it looked like an atrium with a woman statue, cross-legged, almost like the Buddah but female, and Gaia said this was her true form. I always got this inclination that Gaia is not to be trifled with. She’s even more genius and cunning than her beauty and she’s gorgeous. She’s a dear friend, an extravagant mother, and a heart-throbing lover. She is to be culminated, not berated, cultivated, not admonished, and someone you definitely don’t wanna fuck with on her bad side.
The Main Thing (Recap & Pictures)
Also I wanna add, I don’t Trust X (formerly known a Twitter) to be an outlet to chronicle my cosmic luve log. It’s failing. Therefore, (finally) here are the Emma Watson Orange Poem Pictures from the July 2023 Main Thing log.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
To recap, Emma put out these four Instagram stories. They were a story of a song about “loving you without possession,” an orange poem, a video of a momma and baby otter, and a picture of Emma in brown with a horse emoji. The orange poem seems to reflect the poem I made for Emma in the April 2023 Sun post. I love otters, and have made a series on Facebook before about horses. Although I’m sure it’s Gaia, Emma could be doing this semantic communication on purpose to love me without possession. For the full story read July 2023 The Main Thing blog post. It seems the August 2023 Orange post could be Gaia’s manifestation of the Orange poem which was a reflection of my sun poem.
September’s Coincidences 
First I’m going to present the comic luve coincidences I experienced and talk about in my “Be My Dream” September 17 2023 Sunday update - Cosmic Luve: La Russell, Snoop Dogg, & Goosebumps” YouTube video to lay the framework. Then I’ll tie in the new cosmic love communication by Gaia that has come full circle after “fishing” for her luve.
First the smallest occurrence. Ryini, the mastermind group I am in is having it’s first meet-up in a couple weeks. Ryan lives in LA, and I wondered where LaRussell lived who I knew lived in Cali.  I can’t afford to go but I thought to look into going to a show at LaRussell’s house and maybe ask him for some help.
When I got to his “goodcompenny” website there I saw their “Family Business” shirt. On it, it says “Coldwater” which is where I live in Michigan. I think Gaia is telling me just to work until they come to me. It’s worth mentioning Major Lazer has a song with Justin Beiber called “Cold water” that came out about a year before I ended up in Coldwater. 
Tumblr media
Snoop Dogg Feature
The second cosmic luve occurrence is a big one and will probably be referenced for years. I had bought Anno Domini’s “Ray Royalty 2” package and it came with a Snoop Dogg verse. The verse is definitely cosmic luve. If not, Snoop intentionally made me an affordable feature and “fed me from a long spoon” (which is a lyric from the Kool G Rap verse). More likely, Gaia (or whatever keeps on consistently making these semantics) is communicating through people and using Snoop as a vessel. 
I’m going divulge/write and reference Snoop’s lyrics and then how it relates to me and my work. 
Snoop says: 
How you keep that baby face sittin,  How you keep it so fresh? And how you keep it, look like a vegan Wish I was that fresh! … Boxed in, but I boxed out Niggas don’t wanna box with me Don’t bend the codes, don’t break the rules Just stay true to this shit Stay rope-a-dope’n with the top open In the coup, open, from the city of Oakland
First off, I used to go by “Apollo” (which I have like 3 albums from) and one of his alias’s is “Emoney.” Emoney’s tagline on the mic is “Era-fresh.” It’s one of the things I took from my old Apollo sound. You can hear it in my track “The Villain” and the upcoming “Corporate Rule” album dropping Friday the 13th in October. 
youtube
So in a very real way Snoop says me by name. The other thing is, I do have a baby face, that’s the second reference. People always think I’m 15 years younger than I am. Then, and this is when if you read the previous July 2022 - Smoke Blunts Response Treatise post this would come full circle, Snoop makes reference to my  “Smoke Blunts” song where I rap 
“It's been like a mirror room mantra with a mental game, a rope-a-dope,  tried to tell you so you'd know why it's so grandiose”
Snoop saying “rope a dope” is like a callback to his first reference in the cosmic luve blog (in the Smoke Blunts post) and the third reference to me in the verse. Snoop could of done this on purpose, although it’s likely cosmic luve, it doesn’t have to be. 
Goosebumps
The third cosmic luve concurrence I talk about in the sunday update also ties into Gaia’s semantic communication on the 20th through Janelle. It’s more Halloween-themed, meaning it’s scary and more like a warning. 
There’s a theme of how they’ll (the people will basically) go after their (meaning Big Oil’s) children in the “Corporate Rule” EP, cuz they need to know about their heinous crimes. I have explained this before in the “July 16th 2023 Sunday Update - Future Releases, Global warming, Big Oil, and Blue”
To put it succinctly Big oil created the sixth mass extinction and I predict (because it’s been communicated by blue) that people will want to come after their children for their heinous crimes. In the album I talk about coming after their children but to make them turn on their parents. I say “they’ll probably turn on you and leave.” But to be clear I think the rest of the world will want to rape big oil’s children to death, to put it bluntly.
So I saw a Goosebumbs commercial on hulu recently. The episode is about a teacher who lives in a haunted house, becomes possessed by a spirit, and the kids say “He’s getting revenge for what our parents did to him.” …which is basically what I’m saying in a smaller context. And it comes out October 13th, just like my album. I have linked the trailer.
youtube
Fishing
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
On September 10th I went “fishing.” That Hailee Steinfeld post about seeing gray and her “fine ass.” I left the pictures above (and here is the link). Basically I wanted to state the semantics externally, and kinda make them official for Gaia to build off, and she didn’t disappoint. I told about the cosmic luve coincidences about La russell(‘s Goodcompenny Website and Coldwater), the Snoop Dogg verse, and Goosebumps on September 17th. On the 18th I made the tweets about how I thought of Janelle and she used to be a luve but I wasn’t following. Then I finished making the song around Snoop’s verse on the 19th. Next, on the 20th I saw Janelle’s instagram stories.
This is where the “fishing” for a response from Gaia came to fruition. On the 20th, as you can see at the top of the pictures, Janelles’s instgram had three stories when I started writing this months post (to keep up). The first one reminded me of the semantics of my “corporate rule” album I’m dropping on the 13th.
Tumblr media
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
So the first story was a picture that semanticly looks like my album. The second is a video of Janelle singing “one more time” on stage in blue with a blue hue, with a caption of “her stepping on their necks.” The third story is a video promoting Janelle’s “The age of pleasure” tour and this is a picture of a quick clip from the trailer. But there is your literal “fish” (hence swimming like a fish) and the semantics of Hailee’s “fine ass” and gray, that I literally named in the tweet. After I asked Gaia for semantics and added Janelle as the 5th cosmic luve. This post is called “Bam” because that’s what Lady Gaga says when she sees a fine ass like at 1:20 in her “Marry The Night” music video.
Orange Blue?
Since around 2014 there’s always this very real communication from Blue of “Orange Blue.” It’s a kind of somber and reflective mood, but it’s more used as a question. “Orange Blue” means “Orange you” means “Aren’t you?” The question assumes it’s a confirmed thought that you should be doing. Like “Aren’t you” ready to be scared for Halloween? Or, are you gonna have a pumpkin spice latte? Or, aren’t you sick of not being able to afford to live? Or, aren’t you pissed that the right is preventing effective initiatives to combat carbon pollution and global warming? Or, aren’t you furious that the whole economic system is rigged by the elites? Or aren’t you gonna fuck them? Or, aren’t you to the point you wanna rape their children to death? Sorry, that last one is just me… for now.
So What is my interpretation? So the first Janelle story represents my album. The second picture represents blue saying “orange blue,” and then the last picture “going to fuck them?” It’s almost like Blue is saying something like “Nice album, Aren’t you going to fuck them? …as Gaia presents.” Look, it’s Halloween, and the Gods can be brutal, and I’m putting this delicately. They’re pissed, to put it simply, and when in Rome, or the holiday Halloween.
That’s it, until next time. Happy Halloween

Spidersona!!
Tumblr media
More info below!
- Bitten by a genetically modified spider, not radioactive. It wasnt exposed to any radiation, its cells were just altered while it was being developed in the egg sac
- Southern as hell!! [Thats a constant in all their varients, no matter where they are they are southern]
- She didnt want to be Arachne, while testing out their powers for the first time he got involved in a mugging and it all escalated from there.
- Oscorp /neg
- Wanted to go into alchemy and coding before he got bit
- Has the comics and stuff in their universe, but no actual Spider-Man, up until now
- Their canon event was their house burning down and them being presumed dead. The ring on their casual outfit is from her mom. Everyone is still alive and well, he just.. cant talk to them anymore, at least its.. not the same.
- Organic webbing in legs. How did she find out? He tried to see if he had organic webs, didnt, fell, tried it again, and bam, leg webs.
- Because of being upside-down a lot, they get nauseous easily while being Arachne, and usually keeps medicine to stop it
- They also cannot handle too much heat, so most of their suit is made out an easily breathable material that allows them to cool off
- Multiple earth varients!!
423-A is this one, 423-B is a stocker in a grocery store who accidentally became an anomalous spiderman due to The Spot chucking them into another universe, and 423-C, who was an alchemax intern until she got involved with The Spot and the collider her version of Doc-Ock, Octavia, built. They then sort of ended up becoming like him.
- She views Noir as a father figure, sometimes it slips out but he always covers it up
- Had intrusive thoughts before the bite, got a bit more frequent afterwards
- There is actually a lot of varients of Sparrow in earth-90214 (noir world) and their varients
- Also in earth-138 (hobie's world)
- Neither of them are spider-people though
- Actually scared of animals if they dont know them well. Doesnt matter if its a small bunny, they're terrified
- Doesn't like the momentum of swinging, but it got them to his city quickly, and they cant drive, so..
- Lived in a suburban area about 15 minutes away from their actual city
- Light sensitivity, also has horrible depth perception when hiding their extra eyes
- It took them forever to find a good mask idea
- Was invited to the Society a couple of days after his canon event, which happened a couple of weeks after being Arachne
- Was given webshooters by Peter to try and make webslinging easier
- Also goes by Cherry! (My mom called me this as a joke after i dyed my hair and the name actually kinda stuck..)
- Misses their cats dearly. They know its him, but he cant be there for them.
- Essentially just myself but if i was spider-man
- Doesnt exactly have a living space after their event, considering that theyre 15 and unable to get an apartment due to that fact
- Mostly just chills in the society in the nights because of that
- Stays up till ungodly hours just writing or thinking
- Terrifed of Miguel. Like, genuinely fucking terrifed.
- Doesnt do well with loud noises, especially yelling, at all. Would have their headphones on them at all times, but they burned.
- Gets headaches when things get too loud or stressful
- These headaches can turn into migranes, and on those days she just lays in the society all day and tries to keep themselves still so it can be bearable
- List of flags!
1- Lesbian
2- Asexual
3- Queerplatonic! On the Aromantic spectrum, she wants to do romantic things, but with her friends!
4- Genderfluid
- I didnt add the flag but yes, this means that he is on the Aro/Ace SPECTRUM, he, like myself, can still feel romantic attraction (i think)
- Clumsy swinger with his legs, it can never get the hang of it

@gaydemonwolf:
Now that was cheating. Here he was trying to help him conquer his fears and Vincent was over there tempting him with sexy stuff. He should be furious if it wasn’t adorable and, well yes, sexy maybe even hot. No, it was definitely hot and he could very well hear as the other dropped his clothes and even his underwear. He could even smell the nakedness waiting for him but Vince would probably go for the food first. Not like he had to sit idle and watch him eat when he could eat all that at the same time.
Of course, sexiness didn’t win him over, no, it was jealousy. He knew Vince wouldn’t call the pizza man but he wasn’t willing to test a hungry wolf. He also knew killing the spider with his bare hands would earn him the cold shoulder and he wanted his prize for letting the other convince him. So, he breathed on and took his shoes off carrying one with one hand and the food on the other. He entered the room and…
Bam!
He killed the spider having spotted it from outside. “You should really try to fight off your fears, my love. Your food.” He says nonchalantly offering him the tray with his big meal. “Come here, it’s dead.” He adds throwing the shoe outside the room to clean later.
he might not be the most experienced one when it came to love & relationships, but he sure as hell knew how to get what he wanted when it came to deucalion. they'd been together long enough for him to know which button to push how. it was fun, too - he enjoyed playing brat sometimes. he wasn't sure if he'd call duke his daddy, but alpha did the job just as well.
he was very much aware of what happened behind him in the other room. he could hear that little shit getting his head squashed in & quietly did a little dance of triumph. he flopped down on the couch in the living room, stark naked & fiddled on his phone like nothing was wrong & he hadn't just bribed his lover into doing his bidding.
when he joined him though, the smell of takeaway food wafting up his nose, he all but purred like the loudest, happiest, stupidest little fluff ball of a cat. he sprawled out on the couch, slowly crawling closer to where duke waited for him. "mmmmmmhm. i'm afraid of being hungry, let's fight that fear first." he was hungry. really damn hungry. "sit, so i can take a seat on you." teeth came down on his bottom lip, sly grin marking mischief in his eyes. "please?"

Silly little scenario that's jumping up and down in my mind since I posted the epilogue.
The door of the bar opened with its usual cheerful tingling of the little bell attached on it, warning the two bartenders that new people were coming in. Grillby took a glance from the back of the counter where he was standing to the newcomers, and almost felt surprised to see new faces. There weren't many people that came from other places to Snowdin, mainly because of the freezing weather. IThere were two monsters: an anthropomorphic cat (she looked like a cheerful girl) and a spider (pretty curious since, as far as the fire man knew, spiders hated cold). Ezra saw the two customers and smiled quietly. “New faces, huh? This surely sounds interesting”, he commented as he walked to the brother from the kitchen. Greater dog, one of the members of Snowdin’s canine unit, howled happily as he laid all his cards down the table where he was playing cards with the other dogs. He barked joyfully, his tail waving quickly. The other dogs chuckled and commented cheerfully the fact that it was the fourth time in a row he lost and was happy about it, saying that probably something nice happened to him. “Well”, Grillby started. “It surely will be more interesting than listening to you trying to understand those dog’s games”. The brother laughed amusedly, then went to another customer to take their order.
The two newcomers were now inside of the local, chatting quietly as they walked to the counter. The spider commented something about not standing that cold weather, and the cat replied that it was all about habits. The two then noticed Grillby. The man noticed a little frown on their faces, especially on the spider’s one, but they didn’t really look mad or anything. They seemed almost… sad? The cat sighed quietly, then smiled at the fire man and turned back to her friend. Grillby served a few customers at the counter as Ezra went back to the kitchen. “heh. They look like they know ya, Grillbz”, Sans commented. The lazy skeleton was a regular customer, a chilled guy with a nice sense of humor. “And why do you think so?”, the bartender asked. The short guy shrugged. “just look at ‘em. They come in all chill and stuff and the second they see you- bam. They looked like they just saw a ghost or somehin’. Ya sure you don’t know them?”. The fire man thought about it for a moment, glancing again at the two who now had striked a conversation with Dogamy and Dogaressa. “... Yes, I’m sure. I would have remembered it”. Ezra came back from the kitchen and went serving some customers, then went back to Grillby at the counter. “Today seems busier than usual”, he said. Grillby took a few glasses and started cleaning them. “I guess it must be for that new human. It happened the same when that other one came through a few years ago”, the brother simply stated. Ezra nodded. “Yeah, it must be that. That old door to the Ruins seems to open only when one of them comes…”.
The cat walked to the counter. Ezra smiled at the customer cheerfully. “Good day to you! How can we help you?” the friendly bartender asked her. “Hi! Can I have a burger?” the cat asked back. “Sure thing. Just give me a sec”. With that said, Ezra disappeared again in the kitchen. The cat sat at the counter to wait, and Grillby couldn’t help noticing that the spider was gone. Sans seemed to notice it too, as he asked: “hey, weren’t ‘cha with another person before?”. The cat nodded. “Yeah but… err… She didn’t stand the weather. She’s from Hotland, so even inside here is cold for her”. “heh. Not much of an ‘ice’ person. Maybe next time she’ll warm up”. The cat girl chuckled at the terrible pun, a curious noise that sounded like a mix between a sneeze and a laugh. “Anyways, who’re you? You look familiar with the place yet I never saw you around”, the skeleton asked. The cat seemed to get a little lost for a second, before speaking again. “Uh- I’m Maddy. I… lived here for a while, though it was long ago. I gotta say, the town looks way more cozy than last time I saw it!” she explained. “Oh yeah? Interesting. I’m Sans. Sans the skeleton”, Sans shortly introduced himself, extending a hand to the cat. Grillby knew what was going to happen, but decided (as always) to stay silent. The cat seemed hesitant for a moment, but then firmly shook his hand. A long, loud, ridiculous fart was heard coming from the handshake. Silence fell for a moment, then people started laughing around the bar. “Hehehe, the old whoopie cushion in the hand trick. It’s always funny”, the skeleton commented. Maddy remained shocked for a moment, but then laughed as well. “maaan that was terrible- You looked like a skeleton with one of a ‘funny bone’, but that was really unexpected!” she exclaimed with a big smile. Sans smiled back, seeing the cat as an interesting subject. Ezra came back from the kitchen with the cat’s order. “What’s going on here? I heard y'all from the back of the building”, he commented. The skeleton shrugged. “The cat here’s a ‘punny’ girl”, he simply replied. The fire man smiled quietly. “Really? Does this mean I’ll have to say goodbye to quiet days?” he asked jokingly. Maddy shook her head. “Naah, I doubt I’ll be able to come often enough to become a bother. I’ve got a job to care for”. The cat kept chatting with Ezra and Sans, showing herself as a very friendly monster. Sometimes Grillby added something to the conversation, and everytime he did so Maddy seemed to pay particular attention to what he said even if it was something simple. The young bartender found this interesting and a little pleasing as usually people didn’t care much about what he said. After a few hours the cat paid her tab and left. She sounded like a really cheerful monster with one of a strong attitude, completely opposite to the quiet and sometimes excessively reflective bartender. After a moment Grillby went back to work, and his day kept going as it was.

Story Pile: Children of Time
New Post has been published on PRESS.exe: Story Pile: Children of Time
I understand that when I talk about movies I’m asking you to engage with me on my thoughts about a thing that’s ninety minutes long; a TV series is often something you can whittle away at over time and isn’t necessarily designed for a scope of attention that covers a lot of time in its narrative or a long time in its experience. I’m kinda a pop culture boy, I do the wham-bam-thank-you style of things for having fun and maybe I’ll try and recommend series of books to you like the Tiffany Aching series, I’m going to do so mostly because every part of that series is a book that’s pretty great and can be finished reasonably quickly.
Not so for Adrian Tchaikovsky (it’s a pen name) and his epic science fiction story Children of Time. This book is a juggernaut – the audiobook is something like six hours, and those are not a breezy set of page turners. If I talk about a piece of media it’s often with the tone of someone who’s very confident that you can go get that media and check it out and then use that media to contextualise what I think and feel about it. In this case, I think that’s a pretty big lift, since we’re talking about a doorstopper of a book and I have an audience who exist on the spectrum between ‘oo shiny’ and ‘books bore me because I can’t use them to open thirty-five tabs on which digimon have been shown wearing shoes.’ Knowing that I’m going to start off by giving you a broad overview of what happens in the story, without giving away specifics.
If you know this book already, if you want to approach things without any awareness of the plot, or if you want a push to check out some big-S big-F Science Fiction and all you need is someone recommending it, I do recommend Children of Time! I liked how it handled the scope of its stories, I liked the kinds of things it saw as solutions to problems, and it did some things that appealed to me in very specific, niche ways. Particularly, it appealed to me with its culture of sentient, cooperative cat-sized spiders, and the war they wage on the last vestiges of humanity and how that gets solved.
That got your attention? The book’s full of spiders.
Spoilers ahead, but most importantly, content warning: Spiders.
Oh my word, so much, with the spiders.
Okay, your kickoff for this book is humanity is in the we’re-fucked seeding-planets levels of interplanetary infrastructure. Despite how badly we ruined one planet, we promise it’s because we just, you know, didn’t know what we were doing for the early game and now we know how to do a good job, all following a scientist on a satellite as she prepares to oversee the seeding and uplifting of a new culture of inhuman hominids – we have a planet, it’s picked out, it’s vibrant, there’s life, we just got to seed it with various lifeforms and then make sure that the monkeys win out on this one (as they should, you know, etcetera). It’s one of those story universes where we didn’t find any aliens and got lonely enough to make our own.
But the project hecks up who could see that coming, and instead of a serene drifting overseer satellite working to maintin the life of monkeys on this planet as they evolve into Humans 2, Now With A Hat, the chief scientist of the project who was, let’s say, not the most mentally stable to start with, winds up jamming her brain into a drifting satellite that’s there to protect the planet while the apes on it wind up becoming Different Humans except oh wait that goes wrong too, and the tools designed to uplift seeded apes that the satellite could then guide lands not on monkeys (the monkeys died on the way to their home planet), but instead on spiders.
And then, as the story sets itself up to the already-fascinating narrative of watching a confused space-god trying to chart a course for the evolution of a xenofiction story of ‘what if monkeys but spiders’, a wrench gets thrown in by the immediate second chunk of narrative being about humans on a long-journey colony ship, in the microwave dinner model of storage (you know, you can refreeze them but you wouldn’t want to do it too many times), as they try to find a new place to live because uh, yeah, humanity really did ruin that source planet. The story that follows this is a generational, kind of chunky-political drama about what different things humanity can do in closed political environments. That story follows a single character as he wakes up to do something, then goes under again, and the result is a sort of jammed shutter vision of a long-term political drama, a bit like the time travel stories you see in shows like Star Trek, but in this case the story goes only forward.
And of course at points, these two stories ram into one another, and bounce off, then circle around to ram again.
That’s a lot of stuff, and all of that stuff is kind of baseline interesting to me! We have spiders evolving a society and an engineer who Just Wants To Grill as he gets woken up for repeated different versions of Interesting Times, in spaaaace.
A thing that you haven’t heard me mention so far though is names. Remembering Children of Time I don’t remember characters by name. I don’t really remember these specifics, and I don’t think it’s much of a story that cares that much, truly, about the individual agent of any given scene. The ideas in the story that embedded themselves in my memory, the things that I think of easily in terms of wanting to share them are instead about worlds and worldviews.
There’s multiple times that religion develops in these contexts, and it’s treated as having zero supernatural or explanatory power but always some application for social cohesion. There’s a long-running feminist narrative in the story about the dissolution of a simplified vision of patriarchy. Computers made of ants! The ways your worldview changes based on the ways you can engage with the world! The conception of disability as social construct! A full Indiana-Jones style raid against the Implacable Other and it’s done with spiders! Talking To Your Weird Space Mom and convincing her that regardless of if you were Assigned Monkey At Birth, you’re definitely a spider.
It’s strange that I can’t even necessarily conjure to mind the specifics of how it’s written. It’s not much that I can remember specific phrases or text, but I absolutely can think of ideas it establishes.
Cool book, I liked it a lot. And here, I’d like to leave you by telling you my favourite thing about it, but know that doing so involves knowing how the story ends. And I cared about the ending, there were characters involved who I did not want to die and they were all lined up to kill, fight, and die, and it could all go dreadfully wrong. The thing that draws it to a safe conclusion, where the tension of oh no it’s all going wrong, is an instance of humanity being infected with its own ideology.
Then they have to work out what that means.
