#there's a reason i relate to peter lol

me: idk the infantilizing way fandom woobifies characters (like peter, for example) makes me uncomfortable esp. in the way it intersects with perceptions of a character’s class, neurodivergency, sexuality, gender etc.
also me: anyway flash thompson did nothing wrong
in all seriousness:
obviously i post much more in-depth about the reasons i feel various retcons have handled flash's character poorly, but sometimes i'm like Am I a Hypocrite? and the answer is no because i'm usually not trying to make flash into a softboy either so much as trying to marry multiple aspects of his character as they have appeared in the original early comics with some more recent aspects, while also making an executive decision that i disagree with the depiction of him as the schoolwide terror or the singlehanded life ruiner
cause i don't feel that accurately reflects what we had been shown for most of his character and it feels like it's mostly just used as a tool to make peter seem more helpless and ''relatable'' (by sanding off all of peter's edges) (which is not actually relatable for everyone, it turns out) or else used as a tool to make flash himself less humanized
ideally they should be roughly rivals though technically they can't be because peter could kill flash with his bare hands but like (and i’ve spoken about the rivalry dynamic at length before so i’ll be brief here) EMOTIONALLY SPEAKING they should be on equal footing imo. neither is afraid of the other and that's like... kind of the point, right?
one: that peter is not just the antisemitic stereotype of the jewish wimp and why his masculinity is actually very important in that context, but also two: how flash is mostly .... well. it's in his name. he's all flash and no substance (when it comes to being a threat, at least. obviously as a character/person he has a lot more substance than he lets on, exemplified by peter’s surprise at him reading poetry)
anyway these are things i genuinely think about a lot when i write but also like... Flash is amusingly one of the hardest characters for me to write despite how much thought i put into it (or maybe because of how much thought i put into it).
i spend a lot of time trying to balance his roughness and his softness cause they're both important but sometimes it's very difficult. peter is ironically much easier to write possibly because he's such a hater and i can relate to his anger and id so it comes to me faster whereas flash has a little more to untangle cause i don't want him to be TOO sweet because of the ways he has purposefully closed himself off, but i don't want him to be too hard either because he does have that softness to him even when he's angry. he's an inherently vulnerable character and it can be difficult to do that well. at least it is for me
the sweet spot really is getting that friendly/bitchy banter between them just perfect
#nadia rambles#nadia reads comics#the frenemies of it all...#also i think there's a deeply relatable aspect to flash and peter being rival-friends who are not very nice to each other but then#slowly maturing and realizing hey this fucking sucks actually and i would like to be gentler and more tender with you if that's okay#cause like yeah! being a teenager fucking sucks in a lot of ways and the 12-18 demographic is often really unkind to even their best friends#so growing out of that is a crucial aspect of growing up and re-forging your friendships in a less toxic and less destructive way because#you love your friends and you don't want that dynamic to be that way forever#and i think that is SO clear in flash and peter's relationship so when it's rewritten so that peter is terrified and flash is just a bad guy#i find that frustrating both because it doesn't lend itself to the dynamic changes in their relationship and their eventual closeness#and because it feels dishonest to the ways in which their relationship actively evolved and the ways in which IRL friendships do the same#a way of trying to scrub any messiness out that ultimately shoots itself in the foot cause why the fuck would they ever become#as close as they became in this scenario. it's a great example of a retcon that doesn't really fit into what it's retconning#imo at least#reasons i hate the ''flash showed up in middle school and ruined everything and stole peter's friends and terrorized the school'' takes#sorry cullen bunn i enjoyed many aspects of your agent venom run#but i really hated that one spider-man minicomic about flash being a terrible bully that he wrote prior to doing agent venom lmao#i don't even remember what title.... it wasn't very good in general lol#plus i didn't personally enjoy the flashback about him breaking that other character's arm for being gay cause like it said#i don't feel like he really was a schoolwide bully so it doesn't really fit to me personally#but also it felt kind of annoying to read about flash's sadman hours by using this gay brown dude as an emotional plot object lol#i didn't feel bad for flash at all in that issue like yeah you better feel guilty#but i also don't think in retrospect that the incident itself fit his character#but to each their own i guess

My Favorite Things about Miles and Gwen
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I’ve seen so many people hating on the Miles x Gwen ship…
So I’m making a list of my favorite things about it 🤪
Reason #1: They both have a deep, shared understanding of being superheroes as teenagers.
Reason #2: They both respect each other as heroes and acknowledge each other’s talent and ability.
Reason #3: Their talk at the Williamsburg Bank Building.
Reason #4: They get jealous of each other when they show interest in anyone else.
Reason #5: They make each other smile and love talking to each other: “It’s always so great to talk to you.”
Reason #6: They both relate to having rocky relationships with their dads and can talk to each other about it.
Reason #7: Miles was Gwen’s first friend since Peter. Gwen was Miles’ first friend at Visions.
Reason #8: The obvious spidey sense connection they have with each other, especially on Gwen’s part. Clearly the universe wants them together.
Reason #7: The little things they have to remember each other (Polaroid / Sketches).
Reason #8: How easy conversation becomes for they when they become friends.
Reason #9: Gwen goes to visit him when she isn’t supposed to.
Reason #10: Gwen in Miles’ jacket. That’s it.
Reason #11: Sharing a plate of food together 🥹
Reason #12: They are both characters that defy the norms of who Spider-Man is !!
Reason #13: Gwen considers Miles her only friend. On that note, she directly compares Miles to the closest friend she ever had in her life: Peter.
Reason #14: Miles unintentionally gave Gwen a sick signature haircut. LOL
Reason #15: They can have fun together swinging through NYC. I mean, how many couples have the ability to do that together?
Reason #16: Slow burn. Enough said.
Reason #17: Gwen immediately hugs Miles upon seeing him again and loves to give Miles little taps 🤭.
Reason #18: Miles helped Gwen get the bravery to try making friends again and made her believe that anything is possible and gave her a sense of hope. Gwen helped Miles on his journey to become Spider-Man. She inspires him and he looks up to her.
Reason #19 They make each other better people. Who they are now is because of each other.
Reason #20: Gwen WILL make up for her mistakes. Undoubtedly.
Ultimately, you’re entitled to your own opinion about the ship. But I think the Spider-Verse movies are portraying it really well 🤷‍♀️.

Hanging On The Telephone
Pairing: Peter Parker x Gn!Reader
Sequel to Potential Customer (but could be read as a stand-alone)
Summary: After lending Peter your favorite vinyl, you wonder when you'll see him again...to get your record back of course! No other reason...
Genre: Fluff
Word Count: 2.8k
Tumblr media
Author's Note: I imagine the album that Reader gives to Peter as Parallel Lines by Blondie but it's neutral enough to be whatever you want it be. The opening track is Hanging on the Telephone so use that info to your discretion.
Also I'm buzzed on two glasses of rosé editing this so bare with me lol.
~
It had been a week since that day at So-So Records, a few days since you met Peter Parker, a few days since you lent him that album. You try to not be glued to your phone, anxiously waiting for a response like a desperate thirteen-year-old, but still you wonder when he’ll reply. 
It was early one morning when the text finally came. You, in your apartment’s kitchen, sipping on your favorite hot beverage startling when your phone chimes.
I think I’ve found my new favorite album, read the text, This is Peter by the way. Peter Parker?
You respond: I had a feeling, You know, I don’t lend my albums out to just anyone.
Then I must be special.
You smile to yourself, covering your face when you realize what you are doing.
“Are you smiling at your phone?” Your roommate says, coming out from her bedroom. “Funny video, or that guy from the store?”
“Uh, the latter, he finally got back to me.”
“Ooh, so what’s next?” Your roommate goes to pour a glass of juice from the refrigerator, you turn in your chair to face her.
“I guess I'll get my record back.”
“Boo! That’s so boring! Make it interesting, call him and set up a meeting or something.”
You roll your eyes, “Calling? What am I? Fifty?”
“I think there’s something classic about calling, much more personal than texting.” Your roommate plucks your phone from your hand. You reach for it but your roommate pushes you back with great ease. “It’s easy, I’ll do it for you.”
“No! Don’t you dare!”
Ring ring!
“Hello?” You hear Peter’s voice faintly from your phone’s speaker. Your eyes go wide in fear, your roommate tosses your phone back to you, and you almost drop it like it was a game of hot potato and the spud was literally burning your skin. You suck in a deep breath before–
“Hey-Hi Peter…ugh so sorry I must have ah–misclick–”
You hang up instantly, much to the shock of your roommate. “What-Why the hell did you do that?!?”
“I don't know! I got nervous!” You start to pace back and forth. “Shit, I-I got to call him back.”
“Yeah, duh.” You throw a pillow from the couch at her on your way back to your room.
With the click of the door, you let yourself lean and slowly slid down onto the floor. Phone in hand you stare at the call screen, fingers hesitating on Peter’s number. You take a deep breath before finally pressing Call.
“Hello…”
“Hey, everything ok?” Even through the phone, Peter’s kindness shines through, like you can almost hear his smile through the phone. You kinda feel like a dick for panicking and hanging up on him earlier.
“Yeah, yeah, I was just…being stupid.” You shake your head and cover your eyes with one of your eyes.
“No, don’t say that.”
“It’s fine,” You go to change the subject, “So, the album, any standouts.”
“Well, I would definitely say that opening track has to be my favorite. Every time it ended I just wanted to restart it. A definite addition to my playlist.”
“Hmmm, that’s something I would like to listen to.”
“I’ll show you sometime,” You try and fail to suppress a smile, “Though it’s pretty much one giant mashup of styles and genres.”
“The playlist of a madman.” You joke.
As you listen in, you can hear wind passing by on Peter’s end. “More like the playlist of someone horribly unorganized.”
“Ha, wish I could relate, but I’m much too anal to let that happen.” You move your hand away from your face, letting your head fall against the door. “I know this is gonna sound crazy but what are you doing…I mean because, I like, hear the wind passing by and...”
“Uh, er, I’m running…yeah a nice little run.”
“Oh let me leave you to your run.” You say, “We can always talk again later.”
“Yeah, yeah, of course.” Police sirens go on by on the other end, “Ah, I think I should hang up now, don't want to run into something crazy.”
“I get it, text me some time?”
“Will do.”
“Oh and Peter,” You say. “We should set up and time and place so you can give me back my record.”
“Just when I get use to playing it all the time,” Peter responds sarcastically, “I’m kidding, I’ll let you know when I can.”
~
At work, you couldn't help but sneak glances at your phone, one part hoping another text would come through, another part hoping that it wouldn’t.
On your lunch break you had an extra few minutes left before clocking back in, you decide to visit your store’s listening room. Well it was more like the back of the store where there was a wall cut-out, curtain, and small table with a record player and a two pairs of headphones. You pick up a small selection of 7 inch singles, trying to figure out what kind of mood you were in. you pull the curtain close to give a smidgen of privacy, picking up one of the headphones your co-worker swore he cleaned.
Halfway through one 7 inch, when you decided that you were in a different mood, you feel the curtain move, you look up to see–
“Hope you don’t mind,” Peter, in the flesh, fully cements himself inside the admittedly tight space. “Your co-worker said I would find you here.”
“And found me you have,” You switch the 7 inch to something else, a song that Peter might know. “Have some time to spare?”
“For you, of course.”
You look away, trying to hide your blush under the guise that you were reaching for the other pair of headphones. Peter graciously accepts, placing them atop of his head, as you set the record player to start.
As the track starts, you sideways glance at Peter and he does the same to you. You laugh it off as the opening notes begin to go through your ears.
It takes Peter a beat before he notices what song is playing–the opening song from the album you lent him. You sheepishly smile at his recognition before slowly moving to the music, a basic shimmy, then a head bob, then as the song reaches the first chorus, mouthing the words. Peter just smiles at you, and gives a modest head bob to the song the whole way through. 
As the song fades out, ending you and Peter’s private little listening party, you both take off your headphones and just stare at one another for a moment. “You know…I would love to keep playing music but…”
“Oh yeah… I was just in the area and I just–decided to pop in.”
“Without my record?” You say sarcastically.
Peter shuts his eyes in embarrassment. “Oh yeah…it’s just..um…god I honestly just forgot it–”
You place a hand on Peter’s arm to stop him from going on, before quickly removing it. “Don’t worry about it…” You pull the curtain just slightly back, glancing at your co-worker who was glancing at his watch repeatedly. “You can always just…return it to me at…my place...Oh my god, that was so forward–”
“No! I mean yes? Uh…yeah I can definitely return your record to your place.” Peter stumbles out, “I mean I already know where you live.” Peter’s eyes go wide in shock, his face turning red.
You just chuckle to defuse the situation, at least you weren't the only one who felt so awkward in this situation. Your skin felt warm, your heart was beating so fast it felt like it would drill straight through your ribs. 
Is this what it felt like to have a crush? Oh my god, did you actually just say crush? But, you didn’t know what else to call this feeling you had towards Peter. Hell, you barely knew the dude, only sharing a few things with one another, but at the end of each encounter, you were just itching for more. It was kind of embarrassing but honestly, who cares.
“How about you come over to my place around 8:30-ish? My roommate’s working the nightshift.”
“I can make that work.”
“Cool” You say. “Plus, I promise to tell you exciting little factoids about the album and others if you let me.”
“Oh please do so,” Peter leans in close, quite close actually, “It would make little nerd me so excited.”
For just a split second you think about leaning in, closing the gap between the two of you with your lips– Now that was too far, crazy talk. 
You settle for a quick glance at his lips before looking at his eyes, clearing your throat before turning to leave the listening area. 
You lead Peter to the front of the store, hands wringing in front of you, as you turn and face Peter.
“I’ll text you my apartment number, 8:30?”
“8:30-ish” Peter responds with a finger snap. You do the same with a nod of your head, as you watch Peter leave.
~
Why did you agree to meet at your place?
You think about what you proposed at the record store, standing alone in the middle of the living room in your apartment. You didn’t know whether or not to dress up so you settled for what you wore at work today with a long cardigan to cozy it up.
You pace back and forth, chewing on your fingernails on one hand, admittedly, overstressing about tonight. Was this like a casual drinks thing? A nice meal paired with casual drinks? Or was it really just a simple handoff and ‘Thanks for lending me the record, I never want to see you again, buh-bye!”
You stop short, pushing all those thoughts and then-some out. You decide to go simple and order a New York delicacy–pizza. If this was something then it would be fun, casual. If it was a simple handoff then, well, more pizza for you. A win-win honestly. But as you place the order, deep down you knew, you just knew that this wasn’t gonna be a simple handout.
~
Knock-Knock
Man that pizza delivery guy definitely deserves a great tip for speed, efficiency–
“I assume this is for you?” As you open the door there’s Peter, pizza in one hand, record in the other. “Or I just paid and stole someone' else's dinner.”
“Our pizza if you’ll indulge me?” You take the pizza from Peter, and with your other hand you gesture for him to come inside. “Oh, how much do I own you? Since the pizza was my idea and all.”
“Don’t worry about it,” As you close the door behind you, Peter does a quick 360 of your cozy shared space. “This is–”
“Small?”
“Nice. I was gonna say nice,” You walk the pizza over to the wall that served as the kitchen, getting your finest paper plates. “It would be more strange if you lived in some Friends level apartment.”
You notice Peter walking to another section of your living room, where your music set-up was, a fine turntable and modestly priced speakers. Which all sat upon a piece from IKEA that held you and your roommates record collection.
“You ok with soda?” You call out.
“If that’s what you're drinking,” Peter glances at you, “Then that’s what I’ll be drinking.”
You nod as you prepare a pair of pizza on separate plates and pour your favorite soda into slightly dusty glasses.
As you make your way to the main area of the living room, you set everything on the coffee table before standing next to Peter. “And to think I thought you weren’t a serious record collector.”
Your lips form a straight line, nodding your head, “If I let the wrong people know I secretly love collecting vinyls, they’ll never leave me alone.” You joke.
“Your secret is safe with me.”
Peter hands you the borrowed record, which you take from him. You squat down, looking for the right place to put it, Peter follows you downward.
“While we're here…maybe I can show you something else?”
“Hmm, some music that will change my life?”
You roll your eyes, “No, just my personal faves.”
Your fingers skim over a few titles, before you select one, some indie, folky singer you actually saw in person. “But only if you wow me with some factoids, as promised.”
“Of course, I never break a promise”
~
A third record plays as Peter and you are lost in conversation, the scraps of pizza lying on the coffee table. The two of you are close to one another on the couch. You with your head resting on one hand, elbow resting on the back of the couch, Peter holding his glass in front of him.
“...And once I had the record in hand it made the long lines and freezing temperatures worth it.” You turn and hide your face in your hand. “God, I just realized how crazy that sounded.”
“No,no, that was a great story,” Peter lightly places a hand on your leg. “I can tell you're very passionate about this and I bet,” Peter scoots in close, “You really love working at So-So.”
You glance away before facing Peter’s smirking face again. That smirk that makes your stomach tie up in knots. “I mean why else would I work long hours for shit pay. But meeting certain customers also makes it worthwhile.”
“Like clueless customers who come in for some obscure album from the 70s that he doesn’t even bother to buy?”
“Yeah, even customers like that,” You remove your other hand from your head to rest on Peter’s, trying to ignore the burning sensation inside of you telling you to stop. “I know this is stupid but…I’m glad you walked into So-So.”
“Can I say something stupider?” Peter makes a face that makes you laugh. “What I meant to say,” Peter takes your hand, “I’m also glad I walked into So-So.”
The two of you just stare at one another, and it’s like you can almost feel a magnetic pull towards him. Like when the two of you were leaning on that wall at So-So, or when he walked you home and his fingers brushed your thigh, or in the listening room when you just wanted to seal the deal. You had so many thoughts racing through your mind it was hard to focus on the moment. 
Peter leans in closer, bringing you right back into the now, You close your eyes as his lips ghost over yours, his breath falling over your lips–the record stops, end of the side.
“Leave it.” Peter whispers before pressing his lips to yours.
The kiss was messy, a little hungry, as if each other's lips were the only way to satiate each other’s appetite. Peter places his cup on the coffee table as he brings one of his hands to cup your face.
His lips, god his lips, were coated in the artificially sweet taste of the soda, making him even more irresistible. You couldn’t help but let your hands wander up his chest, your fingers playing with the top button of his shirt, the closest to his neck, wandering fingers pushing themselves inside, feeling warm skin.
Great minds think alike as one of Peter’s hands goes to your waist, his long, slender fingers, going up your shirt, pressing lightly on the skin. You can’t help but sigh at his touch, as his hand slowly travels upward. You swing one leg over both of his, so that you’re basically straddling him, letting your hands go to his neck, as both of his hands fall to your waist.
Ending the moment too soon, Peter pulls away from you, letting his forehead rest against yours, but casting his gaze downwards as to not look at you. “I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have done that.”
“Now why would you say that?” With one of your hands, you use your thumb and pointer finger to gently push Peter’s face upwards by his chin, causing him to look you right in your eyes. “I wanted you to kiss me. Hell, I've wanted to kiss you since you walked me home.” 
“It’s…it’s not that I regret kissing you, I’ll never regret that…it’s just…” Peter sighs, “I don’t know what this, the two of us, can be after tonight. I don’t know if I’m in a position right now for something…something more serious.”
You chuckle a little, “Bold of you to assume I wanted to ask you to be my boyfriend right now.” You say with a smile, you let your finger flick down his bottom lip. “I can do causal, Peter Parker.” You lean in close, your thumb blocking your lips from his, your voice lowering, “Can you?”
Peter sighs into your mouth, a smirk forming on his lips, “I can, but can I ask you one thing?” You nod your head, “Can I borrow some more of your records? I think your taste is starting to rub off on me.”
“Only if you promise to return them to me.”
“If this is what a return looks like…then count me in.”
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Tumblr media Tumblr media
This is Peter's "move your arm before I kill you" face 😄 aka his "I only agreed to stand here to make my aunt happy and would rather be anywhere else" face.
EDIT: decided to change the eyeshine color lol
closeups and a bonus doodle below:
Tumblr media
say cheeeeese!!! (left to right: flash, janine, aracely)
Tumblr media
I realized while drawing this that I accidentally put the boys in left-to-right order from least- to most-fucked up face 😂 Ben and his perfect nose 🙄🤣 IDK what he's saying but probably something engineered specifically to make Peter mad.
Tumblr media
He's smiling. 🙂💢 See? Busted nose. Turns out I also put them in order of "least to most traumatized," now that I think about it... Peter is a little less uptight by 2016 but... only a little. He might even not be wearing the costume under his clothes.
I know you're probably thinking "how the fuck is Ben less traumatized than Peter?" but in this case it's true. Ben is the most well-adjusted of them all. Comparatively.
Tumblr media
Kaine is definitely wearing his costume under his clothes. Head to toe coverage, no skin except face and hands basically ever. When I sat down to sketch this pic this morning I realized that he probably doesn't like having his picture taken, because he has very bad self-esteem (understatement) and lots of scars, but probably also for Warren reasons, as essentially an ex-lab specimen. So he's hiding.
His hair would be in the process of growing back out from a buzzcut, if it's November 2016... so a bit longer than his shoulders, most likely.
If it wasn't like, May's idea to take the pic and Janine w/ the camera Kaine would not be tolerating this. He'd either leave or break the camera LOL but... if May wants a pic... he can at least pretend to be in it.
Tumblr media
Miss Maybelle... The only one in the pic who doesn't have anything weird going on (ah, her strange nephews and their strange eyes). She has an O2 tank though. Her lungs are not very strong after 2012 because ummmm... Kaine stabbed her in the chest. (He apologized, it's fine 😓😅)
Tumblr media
Ben's tan lines 😂 peter has 'em too but Peter is all covered up obv. Peter's neck tan line is actually way higher up though, because his costume has a higher neckline so he has to wear higher collars/scarves/whatever even if he rolls the neck down. But (not pictured) Peter's arms are more tan than Ben's because Ben's Scarlet sleeves are longer than Peter's Spidey sleeves. Obv Ben isn't wearing (the top of) his costume in this pic though. and they can both roll the sleeves up anyway.
Tumblr media
That's the watch Peter got May for her birthday in 2007 btw. Actually the color is wrong because I didn't bother to check my own #lore but also because I almost forgot to color it at all (lol whoops) so I was just like. It's purple, I remember that much. But the strap is supposed to be "pale violet linen."
I also almost forgot to draw Peter's wedding band entirely 😂 Luckily I remembered! lol
Kaine is wearing a kilt, by the way (over jeans or leggings or something probably... well, maybe not leggings if his costume is underneath...) My goal is for him to find a different way of expressing his masculinity. related to why i am sticking to pink for his theme color (for costume etc.) and letting him grow his hair back out. I think he probably has some genders going on but not in the way that Flash has. He's not a girl. More like he wants to be nothing at all... null gender... etc... but also he doesn't have the language for that and would likely push back against it because of the way he was treated by Warren and the issues he has with like. personhood and manhood... but experimenting with (expensive) clothing is a way for him to explore his own autonomy in spite of that treatment and a way to learn to hate himself a little bit less, maybe, even though he's still very insecure.
he also has a "nazi punks fuck off" shirt, but... he wouldn't wear that to thanksgiving with aunt may... probably. I'm sure his leather jacket is around here somewhere...
i picked thanksgiving arbitrarily btw 😂 it just made the most sense as a reason for may to force i mean ask them all to come over and get pictures and stuff. kaine leaves nyc in 2012 following ben and only comes back for good in 2016, but when he and aracely first come up in the summer there's a bunch of stuff happening so it makes sense to do fall, once it's settled down...
May: Oh, by the way Peter, I invited your... brothers... to Thanksgiving. Peter: You did WHAT?!

Tumblr media
SO I have been reading all year about Robespierre and I have *so* many thoughts, and want to make a short-ish (maybe like 70 pages) narrative comic so I can get my thoughts out somewhere.
I wanted to make a little rambly note below about this comic before I start posting the rest of it. The comic itself won't have a regular schedule, I'm just gonna work on it when I'm in super obsessed mode and need to get my thoughts out lol Please follow #incorruptiblecomic for more :3
So this comic is based on a lot of reading about a real person, but I want to emphasise that I'm not a historian or expert. It would be disrespectful to say this comic is completely faithful to history when I'm an artist not a historian (*side eyes Ridley Scott*) and this comic is kinda mixing in a bunch of things relating to me personally and how I am personally seeing it reflected in the books I'm reading- autism, being misinterpreted, the devisiveness of modern day politics, misinformation and propoganda in media. The narrative will be more focused on feelings rather than timelines, and feelings arent rly something you can garuntee to be historically accurate for obvious reasons lol
Something I've found really interesting about French Revolution is that there is a lot of extremely different interpretations of the same events, dependant a lot on the writers own culture/upbringing/national identity etc. I lived in genuine cant-afford-to-eat poverty for like 4 years post recession, under a Tory government that said I was leeching off benefits, and I'm sure that's also coloured my own interpretation too.
I'm explaining this cos this comic shouldnt be taken as some sort of historical resource, just my personal interpretation and thoughts around an interestesting person I found very relatable/easy to understand, who I see being misunderstood a lot.
If you want to do actual historical reading, there's loads of books out there with wildly different interpretations. Its probably good to read all of them, with critical thought, and find the 'in between' in all those interpretations. Thats what makes history really interesting! My favourite English books Ive read so far are a couple of different books by Peter Mcfee, and 'Twelve Who Ruled', which is probably the most unbiased book I've read, that still paints a vivid picture for someone who isnt super academic like me.
I hope you enjoy my interpretation~

My Spiderman & Batman Fanfic (WIP): Not a prompt just from the fanfic I'm writing. Check Pin
Ideas #1:
So anyways, I started to think rlly hard about the fanfic and I realized that Instead of Peter going to Gotham right after NWH, I decided that he would die by the Inheritors instead.
I thought about this for a couple reasons:
• I needed to age Peter up a bit so it'd be easier for Peter and Jason to be in a relationship. This also helps with the timeline. So I decided that Peter will be 20 when he dies. Jason will also be 20 or 20-22 yrs old. (Still not sure how I want to write his relationship w/ the bat-family)
• I wanted to give him time to be on his own. I like the idea of him having support and a family but I needed to get him alone first. And since his parents will also be resurrected in the DC verse. His loneliness in those 2 years will play a VITAL role in his story. So 2 years will pass since NWH. I wanted him to still be fresh in his grief for May cause angst, but not too fresh because I want complicated feelings lol. And angst.
• I wanted him to be more experienced in crime fighting. I've read fanfic where he's just so unprepared for Gotham's harshness that he's really fucking struggling. And it kinda makes me go eeeeehhhhhhhh. And as much as I love it. (Cause I do, I like the angst) I also wanted to make him competent AND more dangerous. This is a Peter who's lost HIS WHOLE FAMILY!!! And then he gets them back!? Yeah Peter's morals bend so easily for them. And he's not gonna let a city bring him down. He's gonna live and protect his family, no matter what. What I'm trying to say is that Peter's gonna be a bit more overpowered. Not too much obv. And angry. Rlly fucking angry.
• I wanted Jason and Peter to be together in a romantic relationship and so I wanted to age Peter up instead of having him be with Jason when he's still angry with Batman
WAIT- WAIT A FUCKING MINUTE!!! HOLD THE PHONE!!!
I just realized that In my fic Richard Parker and Dick are the same person just different variants of one another. Like they LOOK EXACTLY THE SAME!!! (In my fic that I'm working on)
Like. What age did Richard die!? My head cannon is that he had Peter when he was 25. So he dies at like 30. And Dick is like 5-8 years older than Jason right??? So like Dick is around 25-28 years old during this time!?
Would this make Peter/Jason weird??? I need to know. Should I make like Richard and Dick be only a quarter related??? Or not related at all!? AHHH I DON'T KNOW!? I mean I want Peter/Jason cause it's an easy way to connect Peter to the Bats but also cause I think Peter/Jason would be rlly fucking cute??
BUT I ALSO RLLY WANT RICHARD HAVING THE SAME FACE AS A MULTI BILLIONAIRE TO BE AN OBSTACLE IN RICHARD'S LIFE!! Both as a normal citizen of Gotham and as a Super spy.
AHHHHHHHH!!!!
I CAN ONLY HAVE ONE!?!?
CAUSE LIKE- wouldn't it be weird to date a guy whose biological dad is related to your adopted brother??
GODDAMNIT-
Fuxk- should I just have it that Richard and Dick aren't actually related and Richard just looks like him (doppelganger) so that they can date or that Peter and Jason never date?

Lol I love the idea of two people liking each other but both being completaly oblivious to the fact other person likes them and everyone around them see it and are getting annoyed/irritated by the fact those two aren't together yet! It's hillarious 🤣! (Not necessaraly saying this is a request or anything, but my fav characters are slashers and Hannibal family, just in case you wanna write something)
Tumblr media
Morgan found you annoying at first, because he didn't understand his own feelings and it turned into constant bickering.
Morgan : "STOP. Just stop."
You *clueless* : "STOP what ?"
Morgan : "You. In my head. Constantly. It's unnerving."
You *giggle and tease him* : "Well..If I didn't know any better, I would say that you've got a little crush on me."
Morgan shook his head at the absurd notion alone and walked away—ignoring you when you decided to follow him.
Morgan doesn't like when things don't go according to plan and he had a plan on finding the perfect soulmate based on very specific criteria.
And there you came, making a mess of his plans..
It started becoming a sort of competition of who would break first.
He would think you're doing it on purpose and get annoyed at the sight of you—or avoid you.
Unbeknownst to the both of you that if you were to dig deeper you would find the true reason behind your playful banter..
His brothers watching the both of you from the sidelines :
Kevin : "...I'm gonna tell them."
Peter : "Don't you dare !"
Tumblr media
You met Kevin in art school and lucky for you, he always arrives late to everything. And, you kept unconsciously saving a seat for him next to you..
You *pretend to be annoyed as he sits next to you* : "Why do you always seat here ?"
Kevin *pretends to be thinking about it* : "Hum...Because it is the only empty seat ?"
You *bluntly* : "You are annoying."
Him *smiles and winks you* : "Sure. So, do we start working or...?"
He would tease you and follow you around—making it very difficult for people not to notice..
Soon enough, his hand would find yours and you would start walking hand-in-hand around school.
Morgan *noticing the dreamy expression on Kevin's face and arks a quizzical eyebrow* : "...Are you thinking of Y/N again ?"
Kevin : "WHA—?! NO ! EWW ! WE'RE JUST FRIENDS !"
Peter : "...Friends don't usually hold hands and go on dates.."
Kevin *process in motion* : "...OH MY GOSH ! I'VE GOT A CRUSH ON Y/N !"
Morgan *rolls his eyes with an amused smile* : "Took you long enough.."
Tumblr media
Peter met you at school and as crushes go with him, it started normal—until it wasn't..
Peter started by being normal around you. He acted nice, sympathetic, funny..
He was perfect.
But, once you were out of sight or he would return home ? That's when things would change and slight developments could be noticed in his behavior.
He would shut himself off from the rest of the family, do extensive research on everything and everyone even remotely related to you and spend hours in deep concentration..
Now, it would be very difficult for Peter not to understand right away.
It usually doesn't take him long to fall in love and he is the first aware of that.
He usually passes through multiple stages : happiness overload, intense paranoïa, brief episode of depression, stalking and finally, unhealthy obsession..
The Hannibal Family all know how intense it can be for Peter when he has a crush, it is the very reason they don't like it when he has one.
Kevin *opens the door ajar* : "Erm..You're alright baby bro ?"
Peter *doesn't answer and keeps staring at the wall*
Kevin *closes the door* : "...Okay. Good to know."
Morgan *waiting outside* : "So ?"
Kevin : "...Yup. It's definitely a crush. Better warn Hannibal Sr."
Tumblr media
Freddy didn't know you had a crush of him and he refused to acknowledge his, no matter what the other slashers or anyone else had to say..
Even Michael tried to knock some sense in the stubborn slasher, but Freddy didn't want to se it.
Freddy : "Me ? Y/N ? Nah. You got it all wrong, buddy.."
Michael *stays silent before grabbing his notebook and writing down* : "So..Does that mean I can try to ask her out ?"
Freddy *immediately punches him and hurts his wrist in the process* : "LIKE HELL YOU CAN ! BACK OFF ! THAT B*TCH IS MINE !"
Michael *chuckles*
Freddy *realizes* : "...Sh*t."
Freddy proceeded to avoid you for days after that, as he thought you didn't feel the same and whenever you would try to approach him, he would find a reason to leave or some other thing to take care of.
You : "Freddy ! We need to talk !"
Freddy : "Can't. I've got a doctor's appointment."
Y/N : "...YOU CAN'T GET SICK !"
Freddy *runs away*
It would take time for Freddy to accept his feelings and do the first step.
He is usually the confident one of the group, but when it comes to feelings ?
He becomes a mess.
Tumblr media
Norman was the last one to notice his crush on you—even his mother persona caught your mutual attraction from the start and made sure you understand your place in that relationship..
Mother Bates : "I've got my eye on you, missy/mister. Don't think for a moment that I don't know what you are doing.."
You *oblivious* : "Hum...Okay ? And what am I supposed to not be doing exactly ?"
Mother Bates : "Stay away from my Norman. He doesn't need you."
She then left and you were surprised by her words, but didn't let them faze you. You had already faced her many times before and weren't afraid of her—even though she did creep you sometimes.
But, her warning did linger in your mind, a well as the very threatening tone she had used.
What could have made her feel so threatened that she would go as far as tell you to stay away ?
It did raise certain questions and when you finally had the opportunity to ask her, she seemed dumbfounded.
Mother Bates *leans forward to stare intently at you and finally smiles* : "You really are clueless, aren't you ?"
Mother Bates wouldn't dignify you with an answer, but she would find it amusing all the same.
She was used to Norman ignoring his own feelings, but would internally be very pleased of the fact that you don't know them yourself...until she wouldn't find it amusing any longer.
Mother Bates : "FOR GOODNESS SAKE ! CAN'T YOU SEE WHAT IS RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU ?!"
You : "...A very angry mother ?"
Mother Bates : "..Kids I swear...NORMAN IS IN LOVE WITH YOU !"
You : "..."
Her : "..."
You and Norman : "...WHAT ?!"
Tumblr media
Pennywise would try to be oblivious at first—pretending your racing heart was fear or excitement. He would refuse seeing the truth and dismiss everything or everyone that would try to convince him.
Even if you were to tell him yourself, he would laugh it off or pretend not feeling anything for you.
Pennywise : "Sorry. Not happening."
Pennywise would be cash with you from the beginning. He would be able to tell that you like him, but would try to convince you otherwise.
He wouldn't want to hurt you by letting you believe he can feel the same.
Pennywise and Penny were told from the moment they became monsters that they wouldn't be able to fall in love. Ever.
He wouldn't acknowledge his feelings for you, because it would mean to go against everything he believes to be true.
Pennywise *sighs* : "...I really wish I could tell you that I can reciprocate your feelings but.." *retrieves his own heart and crumbles it to sand in his hand* "...I can't. I'm sorry."
It would take some time for him to acknowledge his own feelings for you and he would probably avoid you at the start—but would eventually come around.
Pennywise *scratches his throat nervously* : "I'm..sorry. I made a mistake. I..I like you too. I think."
Pennywise was never in love before, he never even had a crush..So, it might take time for him to get used to it—but the result would be worth the wait.
Tumblr media
Penny feeds on fear and pain. It would confuse him to be affected by this irresistible pull some humans suffer from.
He would try to process it and put a name on it.
When he would finally be able to tell, he would end up even more confused..How could it be that you would both feel this need to be together ? How could love blossom between a human and a...a monster ?
He would remain the same around you at first—smiling and joking and laughing..
But inside, he would feel this pull tear his heart open and ask for Pennywise to help.
Pennywise : "...Tell them."
Penny *surprised* : "What ?! NO !"
Pennywise *sighs* : "Look, kid. We all know how you feel. It's obvious you like each other, so you just need to tell them."
Penny reluctantly agreed and after a long moment of consideration, he decided to tell you.
Penny : "...You feel warm. Safe. It's...It's not right."
You seemed to realize he was truly struggling with what he was feeling and decided to help him by declaring your feelings for him too.
When you did, his face lit up and all of his worries seemed to pop out of existence. He was just so happy you felt the same.
Nearby :
Pennywise felt a pang in his chest at the thought that he would probably never feel the same towards anyone, but still smiled proudly at his brother from the shadows.
"Heh. Good job, kid."
Tumblr media
Brahms was acting really nervous around you, jolting every time he would see you and you couldn't help but tease him about it.
You *laugh* : "What ? Do I perhaps make you nervous, Brahms ?"
He would blush furiously and shake his head vividly before either running away or standing there with his face lowered in shame.
You would always laugh it off and it would only make Brahms more and more confused.
You *smile mischievously* : "Does your little heart beat faster whenever I'm around ?"
Another teasing. But, this time. He had an answer to give you.
Brahms : "What if it is ?"
When he looked up at you, you found hesitation and determination there.
Brahms : "What if I really like you ?"
Your smile immediately vanished once you realized he was being serious.
You : "Wait..What ?"
Brahms grunted in frustration before grabbing your hand and pressing it against his chest.
Brahms : "Here."
You could feel his heart beating wildly in his ribcage and for the first time, you didn't know what to say.
You glanced up at Brahms with widened eyes and lips slightly parted in shock before they returned to the fingers spread on his chest—above his heart.
You didn't think..It was your time to blush and when Brahms released your hand, you let it linger there for a few seconds before retrieving it.
You looked up at Brahms who didn't say a word and you smiled.
"I'm...glad."
Brahms smiled as well and nuzzled your face with his masked nose before the slashers all came in.
There was a long silence before Freddy finally shouted:
"F*CKING FINALLY ! WE THOUGHT YOU GUYS WOULD DIE VIRGINS !"
Michael *shakes his head disapprovingly before hitting the back of Freddy's head*
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Myers felt it first. He had already felt this emotion before. He knew what it meant and the thought alone made him itch for a knife.
Myers' purpose was to prevent all affective relationships of Michael with anyone.
But, he didn't think he would meet any resistance this time around..
He was wrong.
In Michael's head :
Michael *grabs Myers' arm* : "Don't you dare. Not them. Not again."
Myers : "They will hurt you. They always do.."
Michael : "Not them. Please."
Myers *grabs him by the throat and seethes* : "I wasn't asking, Michael. You can't control me. You never had a choice."
Michael *grits his teeth and shoves Myers off him* : "I DON'T NEED YOU ! GET OUT OF MY LIFE !"
Myers : "THEY'LL NEVER BE ABLE TO SEPARATE US ! NEVER ! YOU'LL BE THE BOOGEYMAN FOREVER !"
Michael woke up in sweats and found you by his side—worry painted all over your face.
You : "Michael. Are you alright ?"
Michael felt this pang in his chest and he knew Myers wouldn't be far, lurking in the shadows and ready to cut you in half at any moment. So, he would deny.
He would write down he is alright.
He would tell you a lie.
He would break your heart or make sure you can't see him anymore—it would be better than to wake up one day with your blood on his hands.
Michael *smiles and nods*
You : "That's good. I was pretty worried for a sec'."
And you should be.
But, not about him.
Myers : "Soon. Soon. You will be all mine."

Hi! I was just wondering, what are your thoughts on episode 100 of The Sheridan Tapes?
You’re the reason I started listening and I always went to read your post after finishing an episode, I’m kinda confused by it honestly.
(Also I only just listened to it today (April 1st) so I was surprised when they mentioned it being April Fool’s Day cause it came out on Friday.
Sorry it took me a bit to respond to this, I have a few thoughts though, not sure if I will manage to sort through them. Mostly good!
First off what a nice thing to have a horror podcast that has a happy ending for most of its characters! They sure went all out with the polycule bit even without Ned lol. I did like how some of the chemistry Rob and Peter had in previous seasons paid off with that ending! Although some elements of it felt like they came out of nowhere? At least not in a way I noticed... Either way good for them!
The April 1st thing was fun timing to end the story! Love that it coincided (kinda) with irl date.
Although the actual date they saved the world was April 1st 2020 which was at the height of the beginning of the pandemic... from the frying pan into the fire amirite? XD
Sam becoming a "documentarian" for Anna's and Maria's podcast was a nice touch, and a jab at the "archivist" trope lol
I find it interesting that he decided to do it and kinda stick to the past? It feels like he hasn't managed to move on like the others, still stuck on maybe one day returning to Allen and the good old days. I am happy that Jerry took him under his wing, I wonder what their relationship is. I found it really touching that he asked Maria and Anna if it's okay to hug them, like he's used to asking permission from living with Sam which was so 🥺🥺🥺
Sam being anxious around a lot of people and then being understanding and accommodating was really touching in general.
I don't know how I feel about the direction Ren took, the whole Source revelation rattled them I would think they would do something about it rather than continue being part of a system that they ended up clashing over... I'm not even sure how ISFA is different from ISPHA? I would have liked to see them working on something fungi related, maybe with Amanita, who is MIA from the finale...
I would like a sequel about Sam going to rescue Ned (of course) and Ren dealing with aliens in space (a story thread that was left unresolved)
And definitely hear some of Rob's antiquing vlog shenanigans xD
Anyway, might have some more thoughts and something more cohesive to say about it all but overall I loved the podcast and enjoyed the ending, it tied up a lot of the story so neatly and managed to do it with minimal casualties and with care for every character
To say I cringed when the singing started in the end would be an understatement but good for them embracing it together xD

Guilty Conscience
Warnings: tasm spoilers, mention of character death, panic attacks, let me know if I missed any :)
Pairings: Peter Parker x sister reader
Request: Hey, I have a request! who knows a oneshot where Peter Parker's younger sister feels guilty for Uncle Ben's death for having participated in the whole event up close and feeling that she should have done something (even though she is only 12(?) years old and really couldn't have done much about it) and starts to pull away from May and Peter because of this (and also because Peter started acting weird due to his "spider problem") and, after she arrives one day shaken from school due to an anxiety attack related to it all, Peter just tries to reach out and comfort her? (oh and if you can make it be TASM! Peter Parker I would be so grateful lol) Well, I hope you can understand what I mean and my idea itself lol English is not my first language, by the way, so... sorry if I missed a spelling issue or something! ps: I love your oneshots! your writing is really amazing and i'm glad it reached me here from brazil <3
Request by: Anon
*not my gif*
Summary: You’ve never felt more alone then you did after your uncles death
A/N: Hi :)
Please don’t plagiarize my work, you may reblog if you like but I’m asking that you don’t steal my hard work
Tumblr media
You rattled off a long sigh, letting your eyes slip up to the building in front of you. The intimidating, cold building stood there like a prison, waiting for its next guilty occupant. In this case, you.
But at the end of the day, it was just a school, and perhaps you were the only one who felt like a prisoner in the place of learning and popularity. You doubted it, though.
As much as you tried to ignore them, it was practically impossible to miss the way people would send you long glances- some with pity, others with amusement- before turning to their friends and beginning whispering to each other. As if you weren’t right there.
Though you had only been pulled out of school for a week, it felt as though it had been an eternity. An endless cycle of pain, guilt, and grief.
The best you could do was act as if you didn’t hear anybody or notice the way students parted in the hallway all around you.
You pretended as if this was just a one day thing, that it would go away as soon as the final bell rang. But you knew that it would last a good month before it fully faded from people’s memories and they stopped caring.
So far, you hadn’t yet figured out if you were longing for or dreading for when that time would come. To finally have people stop making you the center of attention, or to have people forget the reason you hadn’t been in school. The person it was because of. When that time comes, would they forget about him all together? Everybody? Would life just carry on as if he were never there?
You had begged your Aunt May to let you stay out for another week, but she insisted that the best thing that could be done for you was to send you back into the real world. She said that she would be doing it with you, going back to work on the same day.
And though she didn’t say it, you knew that she meant that you had to move on, learn how to live a life without your Uncle Ben. The only father figure in your life. One of the people you loved most in the world. And as of a week ago, the only person you felt like was still on your side.
For some time now, your older brother, Peter, had been distancing himself from not just you, but your entire family as well. And that stung.
The two of you used to be as close as siblings could be, rarely ever arguing, always getting along.
Your aunt always claimed it was the age gap, you being twelve and Peter being seventeen, but you always secretly thought it was because he wasn’t dead set like all the other teenagers at seeming too cool to hang out with their younger sibling. He actually cared about you, and wasn’t afraid to show it.
But then he was distancing himself, and you felt alone.
Sure, you had May, but you had never been as close to her as you were to Ben or Peter.
Though everyone avoided you like the plague, the hallways felt too crowded. Too stuffy. Too loud. Too bright.
You hadn’t even realized how much your breathing had picked up until dark spots had begun to dance in the corners of your vision. Only then did you feel the tight squeeze in your chest and the way your hands were shaking uncontrollably.
It wasn’t until you began swaying back and forth on your feet, stumbling through the hall slightly, did you realize that you really had to get out of there.
No longer caring about the whispers that would go around, you barged into an empty and dark classroom, closing the door behind you just in time for you to lose your balance completely.
Helplessly grasping onto the wall for support, you slipped down until your knees were touching your chest, breathing becoming more shallow and rapid as you gasped for air.
Your hands flew up to your hair and you began tugging at the roots, ignoring the sting that came along with it, the same way you were ignoring the way salty tears had begun to leak out of your eyes and make their way down your face.
That was how you spent the next thirty minutes, rocking back and forth with no thoughts other than everything that had happened to you within the week, everything you had lost, everything that would happen.
-•-
When you had finally managed to calm yourself down, you had decided that staying at school for the rest of the day would be pointless.
So, you slipped out of the building undetected and began your long trek home.
It was what you needed, you supposed, to have the comforting noises of the city drown out all the thoughts in your head.
You of course avoided the streets that reminded you of that night, the very ones that you were also mentally avoiding.
Now your problem has become physical and mental.
By the time you got home, at least half of a school day had passed, but you couldn’t care less.
You quickly shrugged off and discarded your backpack, throwing it down beside your shoes before trudging up the stairs, trying to make a beeline for your room before a voice pulled you from your thoughts.
“Y/n?” Peter asked, peeking his head out from his own room as his eyes widened in surprise at seeing you.
You froze like a deer in headlights under your older brother's gaze. He was supposed to be in school as well.
His eyebrows furrowed, automatically taking in the way your hands were shaking slightly by your sides and your disheveled hair, “What is it? What’s wrong?”
A scoff escaped your lips before you could stop yourself and you rolled your eyes slightly, turning on your heel and stomping the rest of the way to your room.
“Hey- what? Y/n, wait!” He called, pushing off of the wall and scrambling after you, pushing on your door just in time to stop it from slamming in his face.
“Go away, Peter.” You demanded through gritted teeth, not even looking at him as he spoke.
“Not until you tell me what’s going on.” He insisted, brown orbs sweeping over every inch of your face as if that alone would inform him of what he wanted to know, “You can talk to me, Y/n.”
Your jaw clenched as you whipped around to glare up at him dangerously, watching as his eyes widened in surprise at your actions, “That’s rich coming from you.” You hissed.
“Why aren’t you in school?” He continued calmly, not losing his patience with you. He never lost his patience with you.
“Why aren’t you in school?” You shot back, giving up on trying to close the door and turned back into your room, stiffly sitting on your bed with your back against the headboard.
“It was too hard,” He admitted softly, shuffling after you slightly and coming to a halt in front of where you sat.
Despite yourself, your muscles relaxed slightly at his words. You weren’t the only one feeling that way.
Hesitantly, he sunk onto the mattress near your feet, “You’re not alone, Y/n,” He spoke softly, slowly reaching out and grabbing onto your hand, squeezing it lightly.
Angrily, you shook your hand out of his grasp and brought it to your chest, where you crossed your arms.
A flash of hurt went through his eyes at your gesture before he spoke up again, “Please just tell me what’s wrong. I want to help you.”
“You want to help me?” You seethed, something finally snapping inside of you as you sat up on your knees so that you were eye level with him, “Well then where were you last week? Where were you when Uncle Ben died? Where were you as I sat in the middle of the street and screamed for help, to useless to do anything other than that to try and save my uncle?”
By then, tears had once again begun to roll down your cheeks in waves of sorrow, and Peter felt his heart break more than it ever had before.
He had been so caught up in his own grief and everything going on after getting bitten by that spider that he hadn’t even been able to see you, his little sister, only twelve years old, in so much pain.
“I’m so sorry,” He breathed out, tears of his own springing into his eyes as he drew you into his arms and to his chest.
This time, you didn’t fight him as you melted into his hold, grasping onto his shirt tightly as you sobbed along with your elder brother.
“I’m sorry, I’m so sorry,” He kept repeating, burying his face in your hair as he spoke, “It wasn’t your fault. I promise you it wasn’t. Okay?”
You nodded against his shoulder, sniffling slightly as you hiccuped a little bit while your tears finally subsided.
“I’ll be better,” He whispered, “I won’t leave you like that ever again, you hear me? I promise.”
Two promises. Two of the biggest ones he possibly ever has or ever will make, but he meant them with every bone in his body.

Is there anyway you can put everything relating to buck getting into a coma into one post because I haven’t heard about this
Ok so basically you prob haven’t heard of this bc I’m the only one who has been talking about this lol. It all started when Ryan posted that fucking thirst trap on 9/29/22. I was wondering why he would post it and caption it season 6 vs season 3 (he posted the pic and then one from the fighting ep in s3). So I was looking at the photo and it came to me that the reason he posted it with his arm tattoo covered must mean it was for the show.
So I made this post initially bc I was just analyzing reasons as to why he would post that.
Then I answered an ask on why I think Ryan working hard on his physique and showing it off for the show is important. Like why does a 30-something year old single dad need to look that ripped for the show? Unless…unless that body is a part of someone else’s fantasy. Someone who may or may not be unconscious and in a possible coma.
The fact that they were filming at the beach 2 weeks ago was very weird to me bc we had a bts of Kenny and Aisha with the ambulance. Ryan posted photos confirming he was at the beach during sunset.
And then we got a confirmation Oliver was there bc they posted a pic of Buck in his jeep driving away from the beach. There was also a video in which Gavin (Chris) was seen with a surfboard so we know Eddie, Chris, and possibly Buck were all at the beach. All this is supposed to be happening in ep 6.07 “Cursed”.
Then we got confirmation that there’s a famous singer, who based off bts is named Felisa, will be on that episode. This is a singer in which “Eddie gets involved with” during an emergency. Not romantically of course but these were words Peter Krause chose when explaining upcoming wacky emergencies.
Now I was speaking to @ktinastrikesback one evening and we were trying to make sense of everything we’ve seen so far. I answered an ask with our half baked speculation. Then I went back and made an actual post expanding on how I thought the episode would actually turn out.
It is also very important to note the lack of Oliver filming with everyone else. Yesterday he spent the majority of the day at home. We know this bc of his IG behavior all day long. We got bts that Peter, Aisha, and Kenny were on set in their uniform. So we know they’re filming a call. Could be a medical call where Buck and Eddie aren’t needed but still. The girl who plays the singer was also filming and she was injured in the morning.
Then Cocoa Brown reappeared and she was on set to film in the afternoon. Again Oliver was believed to be home. Cocoa posted a bts with herself and Ryan at the end of the evening. I made a post on my speculation as to how it seems suspicious that everyone happened to be filming yesterday while Oliver was no where to be spotted. Usually when he’s on set, someone posts him some how, some way. It’s also important to note that the last time there was this much secrecy about bts was when they were filming 4.13 & 4.14 which is why there was a lack of Ryan in any bts.
So I made a post on her return and what it can mean for Eddie and possibly Buck. I’ve also answered a few asks about the possibility of Buck being in a coma. In this ask I explain why the moment they changed the title on 6.08 to “9-1-1 What’s Your Fantasy?” I speculated a fantasy dream sequence was a possibility. And in this ask I expand a bit on why I would want to see Buck in a coma.
Basically, to sum everything up, I don’t know what exact route they’d go but ideally here is why I believe we may get a coma!Buck.
We know in 6.04, Buck may possibly get hit by a car when he takes the bicycle and goes after the drunk driver. The way it’s been promoted and teased screams that’s what they want us to believe when in reality he’s gonna be fine. Now I think that’s a massive foreshadowing for what’s to come later on in the season.
It makes sense if he gets away scratch free in 6.04 when he’s being a reckless and selfless idiot, only to get injured severely in an episode called “Cursed” when he wasn’t doing anything to put himself in any danger. I think him getting injured in 6.07, thus leading up to 6.08 “9-1-1 Whats Your Fantasy?” makes a lot of sense. He’s on this journey of self discovery and happiness. He needs to figure out who he is outside of his job. He needs to figure out who makes him happy and with whom he is most at ease.
Now if this serious injury occurs and he’s in a coma, I can see this fantasy sequence being his utmost desires. Possibly seeing how happy he is when he’s with the Diaz boys and maybe even realizing how attracted to Eddie he is, hence the shirtless sexy moment of Eddie’s ripped bod. I think this injury has the potential to be a massive wake up call for both himself and Eddie. I can only imagine how beside himself Eddie will be knowing his partner got injured when he wasn’t even trying to be expendable. And I think it’ll serve his whole journey some purpose to have him wake up and realize that he is at ease when he’s with Eddie. I want him to have his little “Oh, it’s you. It’s always been you” moment. I want him to realize he has a family and people who care for him deeply. Now idk if I’m onto something or so far away from what actually is in the plans for this half of the season. But these are all my thoughts on why I think Buck can possibly be in a coma this season.

I don’t think it’s very fair for you to try and knock others from reading Miguel’s OG run because truthfully that’s the only place you’re going to get his full character since every run after that is just “Let’s place him in different time scenarios to fix other people’s problems”. I’ve read ur reasonings and some of the issues I just don’t see and that’s coming from someone who’s ALSO half Hispanic and had similar family experiences. Idk I guess comic Miguel is rlly important and relatable to me and you shouldn’t turn others away from having that potential connection too. :/
NAH LOL it is *not* the only place to get his character truthfully -- his character is not consistent between runs, or between comic and movie! Not even Pdavid's runs have an unified version of Miguel since he just becomes an author self-insert after one point. The way Pdavid writes '92 Miguel - Gabriel is also shamelessly almost the same as he wrote Bruce Banner - Rick Jones. (another series where he ended up being pushed off the book after he started making really weird decisions; and notice these last two are white guys, which is how pdavid depicts Miguel all the time.)
I haven't even told people to not read them. In multiple posts i say 'read the first ones to see how it is, stop when you get annoyed, look up summaries, don't feel obligated to treat it as canon because it isn't.' If anyone feels threatened by this they should examine where that defensiveness is coming from.
I'm gonna be real with you that's like saying "the only way to REALLY understand Miles Morales is to read his ultimates run." You know, the one where his mother gets eaten alive by Venom, his dad thinks he's at fault for killing her and nearly beats him with a cane, where the closest thing he has to peter is a clone named jessica drew, and that eventually gets completely retconned in a universe explosion so main universe Miles can be rewritten. Do you remember seeing any of the things above in ITSV? Would you call them *the only real way to fundamentally understand Miles as a character?*
I keep seeing the rhetoric that 'real fans' have to subscribe to the very first script of these characters and that somehow enjoying their ATSV versions is fake-stanning and that is just... not true. That's not how comics work. Our most iconic, definitive, memorable traits for MANY of these superheroes have come from subsequent comic runs, rewrites, feats of adaptation and the interaction between fanwork-becoming-canon. Even uncle Ben's 'power and responsibility' schtick is NOT an original part of Peter's first draft. That came from re-imaginings and rewrites.
I'm really, truly not a fan of the argument that 'relating to parts of a character' completely absolves the text from criticism. It's not a good comic. It barely tries to be latino rep and frankly, I'm not going to praise it for just placing a label on him and doing nothing with it. I don't care for this white man's truth. It's racist and creepy and I should be paid reparations for having to read a storyline where the same girl gets paired up with two different brothers and then their father just to end up getting killed for a sexier token love interest. I am constantly frustrated by the argument that new fans should be forced to read it and potentially get turned away from comics forever; it's one of the worst offerings you could give them. 90's Marvel and DC are a public fandom joke and nearly led the market into bankruptcy!!!!! (Marvel filled for loss in 1996. IT WAS BAD. That's part of why the whole 2099 line went up in flames! The money was going down the drain.)
I've been a comic reader for a long time and I just can't give them blissful innocence passes like that. The current editor-in-chief at Marvel did yellowface and pretended to be a japanese man for years to write some shitty superhero weeb comics with no accountability whatsoever. He still has a job. RUNNING the company!
And here's the thing: I like Miguel too. I have a shitty family and I empathize with that but I KNOW he deserves much better than to be confined by white people's scripts and fetishes. I *want* him to have a chance, multiple chances even, to be completely rewritten and remolded by latine voices without the need for them to constantly refer or tie back into that white man's work; It is our right just as any other.
ATSV throws away most of Miguel's baggage, and straight up refuses to refer to the weird indepth sludge pdavid had going on; the artbook doesn't mention these first comics or most of his runs, they actually talk about other groundbreaking sci-fi concept work and the idea of basically rebuilding the landscape from scratch, and I am deeply thankful they do that. One of the biggest themes of the movie *is* that the idea of comic canon is fraught and full of holes, and that we should subvert it into joyful and honest expressions of these characters' cultures. These are movies that begin with the Comics Code Authority stamp, a censorship marker that among other things explicitly prohibited the positive depiction of pro-civil rights narratives and homosexual relationships, and actively turned their nose at protagonist black characters — & proceed to rip it to shreds. That's what we should be doing!

just a few things happened in my shift but one of them is that i got together with remus, which is so amazing because i’ve been waiting for this since a lot and i was so insecure before this happened, i was so worried to ruin our friendship. i’ll tell you briefly how it went but i won’t go into much details as i’ve been realising some things and i’ll talk about it in another post.
so.
james, peter, sirius, remus and i were screwing around at night and we ended up in the forbidden forest because sirius dared james to go so we all went with him but then we got lost and couldn’t find each other. after just a few minutes i saw remus so we stuck together to find the others.
now, if you haven’t read my other posts, me and remus are best friends since childhood (just like the other marauders) but we have kissed and got “closer” moments together a few times, and i started realising that i actually liked him a lot. because of this, i always was worried of what he felt only because i didn’t want to ruin the friendship. like, some people like to kiss without feelings so i was afraid that would be the case for us too. he didn’t take the chance to talk about this and neither did i.
but since we were alone this time, which is not so easy since we’re always together all 5 of us, i took the chance and started talking about everything that related to what we did and what i thought, ending my speech by telling him that i liked him. he waited a bit as if he was thinking and then he said that he liked me too, which got me saying that i didn’t mean as a friend so he laughed and said something along the lines of “yea i know, but i like you, not only as a friend” (crying rn lol).
then we kissed and oh, it was all so beautiful (except i was kind of pissing myself because of the forest). but it felt really nice, everything. and all the things that came after that moment.
ps. this post will probably seem very dry and serious but i’m not doing really fine because of some reasons related to shifting but i want to focus on the nice things, such as what this post talks about :)
(art by the awesome likeafunerall!)

I'm posting this now because I'm impatient and also because I just got that commission done by jerribbit (go look at it and admire it 🥰) which is based off of the same thumbnail as this drawing (lol) 'cause I had one of those moments like, "wait this concept is too good for me to not also draw this picture," so even though I paid someone else to draw it, I decided to also draw it. But expanded upon.
anyway it's AU-related and I plan to actually put this in a post with some other images later but I have to like, draw the other images first...
these are both Kaine as he looks in Houston in windowverse; left in mid-october or thereabouts and right in mid-november ish. 2015. he's 26/27/28/6 years old depending on how you start counting. (lol) (he's 27 and a half)
originally, I was gonna put his costume underneath, but I ended up deciding to bare his neck, just for the like... cohesion of the image as a whole.
closeups/details under the cut:
Tumblr media
left pic is Kaine in mid-October ish as mentioned, mid-to-late really... he ran out of medication and he's not doing so hot. some breakthrough spots as his immune system kicks back into gear.
some of those spots (the little ones) are just from picking at his skin though.
then he gets eaten by werewolves.
Tumblr media
also shaves his head. the white pupil is a cataract he's had for a few years at this point. a combo of meds + physical trauma when he was a few years younger.
also it turns out shaving a character's face and making his cheeks rounder really shaves off the years.
he may be going through some shit and adjusting to new medications and so on and so forth but at least he's eating enough ❤️
stop chewing your lips dude. anyway i spent at least an hour on coloring his scars in the second pic lmao, i just enjoy that. Like, lighting? no. texturing? yes. it's just a bunch of overlapping marks of cain. mark of cains. handprints :) a la Spider-Man: Redemption.
Tumblr media
opposite side obviously.
Tumblr media
some red hairs in his scraggly little beard :p
his voice is fried, for the record. that scar is right over his voice box. it's like five years old though, so it's well-healed.
Tumblr media
and then it gets even more fried, probably. this relatively fresh extremely gnarly scar is from getting his throat ripped out by a werewolf lol.
He died! Then he got better. Obv being eaten by werewolves is directly lifted from his Scarlet Spider solo, though not everything is identical.
i had to bullshit the way it looks also cause idk about you but it seems like asking for trouble to try and google, like, "scars from wolf mauling" or something. lmao.
in the windowverse setting, the Other heals injuries but existing scars stay put, and in this case the life-threatening injuries he sustained made new scars rather than healing away to smooth skin, on account of, hey, he got torn limb from limb by werewolves! not exactly a papercut, you know???
Tumblr media
admire his hair. the only reason it's not one big fluff is because of his expensive hair products.
oh yeah blue pullover hoodie because that's what Ben has :)
and the charcoal gray hoodie is a $345 Derek Rose hoodie he got from Saks after Aracely decided that she liked his blue hoodie and it's hers now.
oh right as far as his age goes—
this pic is, as mentioned, how he looks in fall 2015.
he was ''born'' on 4/1/2009 (so if you must be literal he's 6 years old)
he reached 22 the day after Peter's 22nd birthday (10/31/2009) (so he's 28)
but his 22nd birthday wasn't until 4/1/2010 (so he's 27)
according to the birth certificate wally gets made for him in this au he was born on 4/1/1989 (so he's legally 26)
He usually counts from his observed 22nd birthday in 2010 so generally he would consider himself 27 at this point. as long as he can remember his fake birth year it doesn't matter if he forgets what age he's ''supposed'' to be and since he was born in 2009 technically that makes 1989 much easier to remember.
also aracely was born in 1999 in this universe so this makes her both 10 years older than and 10 years younger than him :) which was another factor in why i picked 1989

Hi!! I saw you reblogged the character ask game so can I ask for both Damian Wayne and Peter Parker? I love those boys and I'm curious 😊
Thank you and take care 💖/p
@zephyrwrites2
Aww you take care too and yes, you certainly can get both :)
Damian Wayne
1. sexuality headcanon:
Demipan
2. Otp:
Damijon💕
3. Brotp:
Damian and Jon
4. Notp:
Any batcest one and the canon ships with Mar'i and Cassandra Cain, plus any ones that have adult characters paired up with him, including the adult ones that were aged down just to be with him too, like Raven, Cassie, and Cassandra
5. First headcanon that pops into mind:
Besides sketchbooks, he also owns an expensive drawing tablet that Bruce got him for one of his birthdays. He makes good use of it, but he still prefers traditional more though since that's what he grew up with, so it's not something he stopped doing after getting an art tablet. He just loves the good feeling of getting out all his pencils, brushes, paints, and having fun expressing himself with them right there on his canvas or in his books. Another reason he perfers it more is because he can actually travel with a sketchbook too and just draw wherever he wants and especially because he also hates it whenever a digital drawing he's working on just suddenly deletes itself because of some error while he was in the middle of drawing it, which upsets him VERY much all the time. Most times when that happens, he just really needs a moment for himself to calm down, plus, process and mourn his erased piece that never got to be saved and truly finished.
6. Favorite line from this character:
"I'm from Earth. I'm ticked off. And I'm looking for a clown." From Adventures of the Supersons #7 (This is one of them that makes me laugh lol)
7. One way in which I relate to this character:
Okay, so remember that one Wayne family adventures chapter where Damian is struggling so much to socialize in school and it's all just so awkward for him? Well, that's me too, because I relate too hard to that lol (there's also the fact that we both love art and draw all the time too)
8. Thing that gives me second hand embarrassment about this character:
Nothing
9. Cinnamon roll or problematic fave?
Problematic fave but one that I love very much💖
Peter Parker
1. Sexuality headcanon:
I usually just see him as straight, but I'm not against any other kind of sexuality for him at all though
2. Otp:
Hmmm, him and MJ are sweet (the Rami version of it is definitely a mess though), but I also really like Peter x Michelle from the mcu and Peter x Gwen from the Amazing Spider-Man movies too hehehe
3. Brotp:
Peter and Ned. I just love how silly and fun they are with eachother lol
4. Notp:
Black cat. She's a villain who loves living the thief life, plus, I just don't believe she's right for Peter since she's more in love with his Spider-man identity and always sees things like a game, which just doesn't work for a real relationship
5. First headcanon that pops into mind:
He got braces in middle school and would always pick orange and yellow for the bands when he got them changed every month
6. Favorite line from this character:
"What's important is not standing by and allowing someone to suffer or die because you do nothing. If you don't get that, then you don't get the first thing about being Spider-man." A line he says in the video game Spider-Man edge of time
7. One way in which I relate to this character:
We care for others a lot and always want the best for them
8. Thing that gives me second hand embarrassment about this character:
Nothing at all
9. Cinnamon roll or problematic fave:
Cinnamon roll frrr💗
Thank you for the asks! I enjoyed answering them!!

Glorious Masquerade has got to be my favorite TWST event!!!! Love to see people hype it up!!! It just felt so extravagant and huge… literally EVERY character was serving. Idia in particular 👀 also I think part of why it was so good had to do with the timing, the fact it came right before chapter 7 and the contests of the event were actually REALLY pertinent in the main story…
I kinda doubt this year’s halloween event will be AS impressive but I hope it comes close to it. It has the potential!! But GM is so iconic. I’m really looking forward to the Pinocchio theme. Just think of Grim’s new little outfit 🥺
No cause I'm sure they timed the first release of book 7 right after masquerade so the event could foreshadow the main story, like how Rollo says Malleus is a villain that will bring calamity (I don't remember the exact words but it was something like that lol)
THIS EVENT WAS MOSTLY TAILORED TO MALLEUS AND IDIA AND IT SHOWS, I remember that before Rollo's motive was revealed, I was theorizing if Rollo was also inspired on musical-Frollo and not just the dsny Frollo, where he has a deceased younger brother. And I was like ''if that's the case, it makes even more sense why Idia would be the SSR; he's the only one who can trully relate and understand Rollo's pain'' AND I WAS RIGHT 👏👏👏 LET ME COOK
For that reason is why I think GloMas wouldn't work if it had a sequel like the first halloween event of it were a if/remix version like fairy gala but with the other rest of the cast; Malleus is simply too crucial for this event, Rollo's motive wouldn't make sense without him. I admit I'm a bit sad that we won't see the other boys in the masquerade outfits and them interacting with Rollo (I wanted to see Ace clown on Rollo </3) but honestly this is for the best... They're getting an entire new event with new characters just for themselves!! I'd say this is a better outcome than just repeating GloMas all over again with the other half of the cast, it just wouldn't be impactful.
I'm not emotionally attached to Pinnocchio as I am with THoND but I'm excited because this movie is DARK AS HELL, and it's PERFECT for a halloween event. Also I've been waiting years for new beastmen characters and we are getting a fOX BOY RIGHT OFF THE BAT....GRRRRRrrRR *foams at the mouth*
I can't wait for the trailer of the new event, if they really are wearing carnival inspired outfits I'm gonna be BALLISTIC!!! And let's hope every new halloween event from now on will be based in a dsny movie with new guest characters every time 😳 I'm hoping for a Peter Pan event next cause WE GOTTA SEE TWST CAPTAIN HOOK?!?!?
And yes, Grimmy's little outfit 🙏maybe his outfit will be similar to pinocchio's in those little italian clothes ORRR maybe jiminy cricket's black tailcoat 🥺🥺

Just started thinking about Hemlock Grove all of a sudden and reliving my anger at how they could've done something really unique for the second and third seasons if they kept closer to McGreevy's original story.
It's really hinted at in the first season but in the book Peter and Roman are distinctly related through Olivia, the daughter she had was Peter's ancestor. This is why Peter and Roman had a connection and why Roman was kinda obsessed with Peter, he could sense the Upir in him. Also in the book, it was loosely implied that Peter and his family, the wolves of his family, are not accepted by other wolves. The way his uncle broke the rules was given as an explanation but they were already kinda isolated from their kind before that, they didn't feel connected to the other wolves the way they should. Their connection to Upirs was likely for this reason.
The book isn't any sort of masterpiece. I think the story is good but not well written. Brian McGreevy originally aimed at writing screenplays and you can tell when reading his literary works. He wrote most of the episodes in Season 1 but left the series after that which is when everything got crazy lol
