Every day I wake up and want to cry because there is something so comforting yet so unbelievably terrifying about a prequel series that includes characters we have seen in the future because we know that those characters will certainly survive, or at least survive the events we are witnessing in this context, but everybody else has their fate completely up in the air. Will they live? Will they die? Is their absence in the future timeline and inherent confirmation of their death, or will they be fine and is there a perfectly reasonable explanation for why they do not appear with the characters who we know will survive? And that constant hope, that persisting anxiety about their fate holds for their entire time onscreen because we know, we know that their future is not set in stone. So we're fighting against our better nature as the audience to convince ourselves that somehow the characters will survive even when it feels like we should already be grieving their loss. Anyways I'm doing fine mentally and have consumed a perfectly healthy amount of media why are you asking

hobie gives fairy!spidey a hug just to tease her and suddenly a giant tree appears in the hq—and everyone just stares at it (whenever she’s flustered she leaves behind flower petals and leaves, basically nature things)
YES i’ve been waiting for this one 🧚🏽‍♀️✨🤍
hobie brown x fairy!spidey! f reader
warnings: none; pure fluff
as hobie playfully wraps his arms around you, teasing you with a warm hug, a sudden influx of magical energy fills the room. as everyone's eyes widen in surprise, they turn their attention to a stunning sight before them – a gigantic tree towering in the middle of the headquarters.
leaves, flower petals, and vines cascade down from you, caught in a whirlwind of your own powers. you blush, your cheeks radiating warmth as the room fills with the sweet scent of nature. the other members of the team are in awe, witnessing this breathtaking display of your unique abilities.
hobie is taken aback but cranes his neck up in awe to see your cute little naturey powers in display. “woah , babe, looks like your powers are a little... bloomin’ today,” he chuckles as he nudges your arm playfully.
you were quite embarrassed as your emotions and feelings usually tied down to your fairy-like powers. “hobie, this is not the time nor the place for puns!”
despite the unexpected appearance of the tree, which now serves as a temporary centerpiece in the headquarters, everyone begins to appreciate the beauty and serenity it brings. soft light filters through the leaves, creating an enchanting ambiance in the room.
gwen comes from behind miles as she takes notice of the beautiful ambiance of the headquarters. she slightly giggles as she places an arm on your shoulder from behind. “well, i wasn't expecting this today, but i have to admit, it's strangely... peaceful.
miles nods as he chimes in standing next to hobie, “yeah, it's like a mini oasis in the middle of the concrete jungle.”
you take a deep breath, the petals and leaves gently swirling around you, and you manage to regain your composure. “okay, okay, let's not make a big deal out of it. i’ll just... figure out how to fix this. sorry about the inconvenience, everyone.” hobie grins, wrapping a comforting arm around your shoulders, “no need to apologize, babe. just another unexpected adventure in our crazy lives. we’ll deal with it together, like we always do.” hobie hugs you from behind as he leaves soft kisses on the side of your face.
miguel comes out of his office as jessica and peter are on his side. he’s sneezing as he somewhat seems to have allergies from all the plants, flowers, and pollen that seems to fill the air. “fairy, you need to-“ he gets caught off by his own sneezes and sniffles, “get rid of it. it’s cute and all but it messes up with my allergies, please.”
“uh—sorry miguel!! i’m on it!!” everyone around you laughs as they take in miguel’s disheveled appearance. with a renewed determination, you focus on your powers, calibrating your control to gradually dissipate the tree. leaves and petals gently fall from the air, slowly gathering in a small pile at your feet.
admist the chaos, a sense of unity and support fills the room, reminding everyone of the strength you find in each other and the undeniable bond you share.

Omg i Love your platonic yandere spiderwebs stuff. I binged all of them basically the second I left the cinema and I was wondering if I could request something. What would happen if Reader somehow finds out what happened to her Peter (maybe she somehow gets her hands on surveillance footage) and how the spideys all react. If you’ll write this I’ll be forever thankful. I don’t really care if it’s headcanons or a oneshot, do whatever feels right to you. Luv u thanks
For the Multiverse (Yandere Spiderman Across the Spiderverse x reader)
Tumblr media
I swear you guys can read my mind. I wanted to go into this in my original concept, but thought it was too much, so I'm exsited to write this.
Check out my other stuff here: Masterlist.
"Peter, are you busy?"
Peter turns, giving you a lazy smile as Mayday coos in her baby carrier. He looks down, patting her on the head, be before looking back at you.
"No kid, what's up?" Your sweating, nervous even under the gaze of the notoriously calm Spiderman. You take a deep breath while picking at your fingernails.
"I-I was just, um wondering if you knew where Miguel is?" Your voice is small and wavering, nearly too quiet for Peter to even hear. He tilts his head, giving you a confused look.
"Yeah, he should be in his office." He lets out an awkward laugh, "...like always."
That does not help your anxiousness, wrapping your arms around your waist to calm your nervous breathing. "Y-yeah, I guess you're right. Stupid question." You whisper the last part, causing Peter to shake his head. He moves closer, raising his hand to pat you on the shoulder, retracting it when you skittishly move away from him, fear swimming in your eyes.
He ignores it, placing his hand back at his side like nothing happened, "It wasn't a stupid question, just...wondering why you were asking?"
You face is to the ground, so he isn't able to fully evaluate your emotions, but he can fairly assume your terrified of him right now. For what reason, he doesn't know, but he can also assume it has something to do with the person you're looking for.
"You wouldn't hide anything from me right." You look up to him with a furrowed brow, your mouth a thin line, "none of you...none of you would lie to me?"
"Of course, not kid." Peter doesn't waste a second. You nod, not looking at him like you knew something was up.
"Okay well, I'm going to find Miguel, thank you." You leave before Peter can say anything. He watches you go, fear rising up through his body as Mayday waves to you from her seat on his chest. Once he's sure you're out of earshot, Peter awkwardly pulls his wrist up, calling Miguel, who answers instantly.
"Miguel, I think they're on to something."
---
"Miguel! Miguel, I want to talk to you."
You don't hear anything for a while, seething in the silence of his dark office. You cross your arms, exhaling loudly as you wait for him to respond.
"You seem angry." Miguel says when his platform finally hits the ground. You scoff, throwing your hands in the air in frustration.
"Oh, really, I seem angry?" You give him a pointed look, frustration rising up in your voice, "Of course I'm fucking angry, Miguel!"
He turns to look at you, his face hard as stone, his gaze cold, "language" is all he says before looking back at his screens.
You let out an airless laugh, your arms falling to your side. You shake your head, staring at the back of his head in confused awe. "So, that's it. We're not going to...I don't know, talk about it?"
"I don't know about what you want to talk about?"
"About you murdering my best friend!" You scream, causing Miguel to finally face you. Your chest heaves up and down, a snarl on your face as you look at him. Miguel doesn't like it, this rage you're displaying. It makes him feel like he hasn't done a good job being your father, and he assumes he hasn't by the look on your face, one of malice and disappointment all rolled into one.
Miguel takes a deep breath, taking a careful step towards you, "It was for the multiverse."
"Oh bullshit!" You yell, pointing towards all his screens, "When has a Spiderman ever had to die for the multiverse?" Miguel closes his eyes, trying to sooth down his own frustration.
"Many times (Y/N)." You don't respond, a shaky exhale leaving your mouth. Miguel can see tears starting to stream down your face, all the frustration he felt washing away and is replaced with guilt.
"Look (Y/N) ...I didn't, I-I didn't want to you find out this way." He says, slowly moving towards you, placing a hand on your back. He can feel your heartbeat, it's erratic.
"If you didn't want to me to find out, why'd you do it." You mumble, leaning into Miguel's touch. He starts to rub your back, hoping to calm you down.
"It was for the multiverse, for you." He says before crouching down to your level, turning you towards him. His face is filled with remorse, even you can see that. But you can't help but be so incredibly angry at him for what he's done.
"He was my friend." You lip quivers as you speak, and Miguel wraps you up in a hug.
"I know." He whispers in your ear as you cry into his shoulder. His grip on you doesn't waver as he refuses to let you go.
---
"(Y/N)? Do you want to talk to us?"
It's Miles now. An hour ago, it was Gwen. Two hours ago, it was Peter. Before Peter was Pavitr, and so far, you haven't heard anything from Hobie, but you assumed he's shown up with one of them.
You don't respond, you were too tired to respond. You bury yourself deeper into your blankets and pillows, closing your eyes in hopes he'd go away.
You don't hear him move, but you assumed he did after a while. As you start to finally fall asleep, you hear whispers from more people outside your door.
The noise starts to get louder, even when you cover your ears with your pillow and groan loudly, hoping they'd catch the hint.
Suddenly, there's banging on your door. You shoot up, some of your blankets coming with you. The banging doesn't stop, even when the others outside beg them too.
"(Y/N) If you don't open up, I will kick your door down." It's Hobie's voice now. He doesn't sound angry, just worried, and you can tell he doesn't want to barge in, but you've been in your room for several hours.
"If you don't open this door soon I'll-" Hobie pauses and you can hear him take a breath, "Please, (Y/N), I-we are worried about you."
You don't respond, simply getting up and sitting down back to your door. You hear Hobie and the others whispering, mainly Pavitr rambling.
"Did you guys know?" You ask, voice drained of emotion. You wish you were stronger; wish you could demand something out of them. But you're just a child, a sad, grieving, child.
You hear Pavitr sigh, "(Y/N), we...we weren't allowed to tell you, you know that." His voice is just as shaky, you feel bad, wishing to step out there and comfort him, but you can't.
"We would've told you...if we could." Gwen adds, getting a hum from Miles. You stare down at your hands, they were shaking. Everything was shaking, you couldn't control it.
You stare back at the door, mainly the lock, questioning if there was anything you could've done. You know the fate of the multiverse isn't in your hands, but maybe there could've been something. You could've been a better friend, a better teammate, something other than the groveling mess you are now.
The sound of the door unlocking is quiet, but none of your friends miss it. Quickly, they move to look at you, you look like a mess, you know it.
"Was it my fault?" You try to steady your breathing "was there anything I could've done?"
They don't respond, you know the answer. You know that it's not that simple.
Pavitr is the first one to come in and hug you, it was warm, just like him. Then it was Miles, and Gwen, and finally Hobie, all wrapping you up in there embrace so you couldn't possibly leave them.
It felt overwhelming, the tears, the emotions, the support. You sobbed as they hugged you tighter, wanting nothing more than to be wrapped back up in your bed.
"We're sorry." You don't know who said it, but you know what they meant by it.
---
"Miguel, did we do the right thing?" Peter asks. Mayday wasn't present, he didn't want her to be here for this conversation.
"Of course, we did." Peter shakes his head.
"You sure? Because I don't know." He pinches the bridge of his nose, staring at Miguel with confusion. "The kid, (Y/N), they didn't seem so happy."
"They wouldn't be happy if they were dead."
Peter lets out a dry laugh, clearly not believing him, "You and I both know their Peter wasn't going to kill them."
Miguel huffs, moving towards Peter with frustration all over him, "If they stayed in their dimension, they would've died."
"So, we had to kill their best friend. That just isn't adding up." Peter yells, just as frustrated.
"If (Y/N) stayed in their dimension, their Peter wouldn't have been able to keep them safe and (Y/N) would've died." He said slowly.
"So, that Peter was an anomaly?" Peter questioned.
"Sure."
"What does sure mean?"
"It means stop questioning my authority." He said coldly. "Now leave, you're being annoying."
It didn't take too long for Peter to leave Miguel's office. Once he was gone, Miguel let out a deep breath, tired from everything that has happened this day.
When Miguel first met your Peter, he didn't expect you. Usually, he's able to expect the unexpected, but you were different.
Your Peter came to him, asking him to bring you along to Headquarters. Of course, he said no, but that didn't stop Peter from asking over and over again, like something was going to change.
One day, Miguel just felt the urge to ask Layla about you and after much teasing, she gave him all the information on you.
You were a friend of Peter, who, out the goodness of your heart, started helping him with his Spiderman adventures. Simple as that. Other than, of course, you dying when Peter would be away on a mission from HQ, from him.
He couldn't tell Peter about it; it would lead to so many problems later. But he couldn't just ignore it, he couldn't just let you die.
There are so many Peters at HQ, he assumed one being gone wouldn't hurt you. Even so, you made so many new friends. This was your home. He made you happy. And you made him, and so many others, happy.
Miguel knew he did the right thing. He did the right thing for him.
But for the Multiverse, maybe not.

A/n: I feel like the dialogue is kind of cringe, sorry.

Invitation to talk about Sayuri and Nymie?
:D CAN OF WORMS: OPENED!! i'll tell u abt how they got found as Jedi
ok so Sayuri is one of the students that doesn't rlly go home bc there isn't much to go back to. Basically her parents were Rebellion pilots (or one was a pilot the other a mechanic. kinda unsure) but were both killed in action against the Empire abt 3-4ABY ish. obvs the Rebellion couldn't look after a 7-8yo while fighting the Empire
so the remainder of the squad manage to get her back to her parents' home village/ where she was born. so having like Everything change all at once leaves her pretty ?? and gives her some serious trusting-her-environment issues. her coolgirl "i dont care" persona is very much a result of this bc she's worried abt getting too comfy in smthn. (which is at odds w the OTHER issue she got from this event which is "deathly afraid of flying" an issue not helped if Master "traffic laws are just guidelines" Skywalker is piloting. but she tries 2 act like shes fine)
this is gonna get kinda long so im gonna smack some unposted art here and then go into a readmore
Tumblr media
anyway fast forwarding to when Sayuri's abt 13 (roughly 9aby) she's visiting her parent's old squadron on a New Republic bc they'd all come visit whenever she could and after the Empire's fall they did a lot more pick her up and fly her to a base to ALL see her. and they're like omg Sayuri you came at the PERFECT time bc this rlly amazing pilot war hero who's also some like. mystical whatever is here!! he's on his way to some magic place we heard. maybe u can meet him!! which sayuri meets w her usual whatever bc she's not that gassed abt war heroes.
very worth noting that the squad's probably all seen her move shit with her mind, but theyre like oh you know how it is with teenage girls. the "nobody knows what a jedi is" + "the empire existed for a decent bit of her childhood" thing has kept anyone from being like yeahh sayuri should like. talk to someone abt this.
anyway she goes along when the squad are like c'mon let's see if we can see him. ok the only way i can describe this is you know the spiderverse like... spidey-sense recognition thing? that's basically what happens LOL Luke and Sayuri both have a FORCE USER RECOGNISED?? moment and Luke then makes a beeline for her then realises oh shit tiny teenager not jedi. would you LIKE to be a jedi?? and sayuri who hates her village and is feeling the strongest emotional connection she's felt in forever w this stranger she met 2 seconds ago is like okay fuckin sure yeah. and woo jedi!!
i posted my unposted nymie art yesterday but likkeeee pretend theres some here <3
So Sayuri falls into the "one of the Jedi found them thru the force or by chance" category of students who get found. However Nymie very much falls into the second category, which is "CAN SOMEONE DEAL WITH THIS WEIRD SUPERPOWERED CHILD FOR US????"
So 2 things about Nymie: 1. like i've said before, she's from a very rich high class pantoran family. super stuck up, mostly raised by nannies & tutors, but somehow Nymie just didn't get the stuck-up genes like all her (4!!) siblings who are just obsessed w their social standing etc and is instead just :D all the time. 2. her proficiency ig is the living force esp in the 'good at connecting to animals' way (which I think means I legally need to draw her w Ezra).
so the former often led her to escaping her family's stuffy parties and galas or whatever (usually to whoever's house it is' garden or somewhere she wasnt meant to be) to find something interesting. usually a pet <3 one particular time when she was 9 she was following her Pet Sense but couldnt find anything in the house. so she kinda just reached out more and long story short thats how Nymie managed to call this hugemassive beast (i'd tell u what it was if i knew pantoran animals LOL) out of the nearby countryside to her. massively distressing for everyone, all these rich ppl were like "OH MY GOD I NEARLY DIED" (it didnt attack anyone). very funny exciting time for Nymie who was enjoying this new beastie friend til animal control showed up. saddening. everyone is confused bc HOW did that happen
a dude old (and cool) enough to have seen more than one jedi in their heyday (+ idk uni researcher knows his shit) noticed what happened w it going straight to Nymie and overheard her account and realised what happened and was like hi nymie's parents. i think u need to get into contact w the new republic bc thats a jedi right there (which they take and go oo social climbing. we have a jedi child people will think we're cooler. bc theyre assholes)
and yeah im losing steam now but luke shows up and she joins the academyyay!

| soft!father figure!Miguel o'hara x teen!spidey?reader | Headcanons | (platonic)
(Miguel o'hara x reader platonic)
(Miguel o'hara x teen!reader platonic)
(Miguel o'hara x reader platonic)
A/n: reminder, miguel is gonna be OOC(out of character) as HELL because I legit forgot how to write, and I lost all my skills because of art block 2 years ago and stopped. So, just a heads up, Ooc!Miguel.
Trigger warning: cursing, mentions of loss of family members/and or friends, mentions of death, mentions of dead family members(?), potentially overprotective/slight platonic yandere!miguel(?), etc.
Miguel....looks at you, the same way he looks at his own pride and joy, which is also you, ofc. (Because you are the main character and are amazing.)
He'll try and brush your hair, no matter how short or how thin it is. if you have a buzz cut, he'll just lightly massage your head. If you have braids or an afro, etc, he'll try and learn hair styles like that for you, like how to do braids, or afro puffs for you (please correct me on terminology, I'm not black, so forgive me if I accidentally say something wrong or call a hair style the wrong name/gen)
He will help you with anything and everything. You are his new pride and joy, sit down, and don't worry about a thing. :)
He'll help you with missions, homework, hell, even on how to build nuclear weapons if you ask nicely enough.
You're his kid(metaphorically), why shouldn't he help you with everything and dote on you?
However if you are more independent or less likely to understand/and or like how much he tries to help you in everything, he'll back off, he trusts you, he just cares about you too much to let you do anything(as horrible as that sounds, it comes from a place of good)
He's like those overprotective dad's that tell you, your outfit is too revealing, or some horror story about some random kid getting kidnapped before you go out. (Is that just my parents? Maybe I'm projecting a little, sorry!)
He will judge your friends, especially if its other spiders, hobie? He won't say anything to you but he will lecture hobie for 2 hours on making sure not to be a bad influence on you, gwen is...alright, he may not really like her but he understands why your friends (whatever that reason may be.), miles? Oh fuck no. Miguel would rather set himself on fire and destroy the spider society instead of letting miles be friends with you, and (aromantics, don't read this part.) If you're dating miles, congrats, miguel is popping a blood vessel from how pissed he is.
Of course, he may lecture you, or even 'ground you'(he'll start to get very emotional after 2 hours of being away from you, he can not risk losing another kid, you are too important to him.), but a little bit of pestering/and or convincing, and he'll begrudgingly accept you and miles are friends/dating.
He may teach you Spanish, if you're up for it.
Calls you spanish nicknames. (Hispanics and people who speak spanish fluently, I am so sorry, I don't know spanish and I'm using Google Translate, please forgive me for this. Please correct me in the replies/comments so I can edit this and fix it./gen)
Princesa/Príncipe, Cariño, Mi sol, mi corazón, mi vida, etc.
He lets(makes) you stay with him on his platform office thingy(sorry, I don't know what to call it.), he'll pull up a YouTube video or movie on some hologram, or holographic screen and let you watch while he works.
Honestly, does not know now to use basic cooking appliances, if you're from a universe where the year is like, anything under 2060, congrats, miguel will not understand any terminology or technology you have(like a regular phone, ipad or a regular computer from 2020, his universe is so futuristic and such, those things are ANCIENT to him, God forbid you quote any vines infront him, he will not understand and there's like a 30% chance his grandparents/great grandparents used to quote vines.)
Will ask you to help him with a fucking microwave,, his universe is so futuristic.
Sometimes, he sends you with him on missions that aren't missions, like jsut going out to soem really nice universe he thinks you'll like, and being 'undercover'(you're both gonna wear whatever you want, hell probably wear casual, you can wear anything you're comfortable in.). To which you'll both jsut be hanging out at some cafe, library, amusement Park, cinema, whatever place you like or he thinks you'll like, and pretends that you're looking for some anomaly but in the end he'll jsut tell you to go back to HQ or your own universe and he'll take care of the anomaly(there was no anomaly, he lied so that he could hang out with you.)
If you lose or are going to lose any family members, friends, lover, etc, maybe from the Canon or something else, he'll do everything to cheer you up, highest quality therapy, stuffed animals(if you like those), the entire series of a book you like, he'll even pay for your favorite Netflix show to get a 2nd/'random number' season, he is a billionaire, he won't let you on any missions, he'll make you rest, help you mourn and even maybe help arrange the funeral if you trust him enough.
This man has severe abandonment issues(hc), he has lost his daughter and family, he cna not lose you too.
He is a bit clingy and overprotective, he doesn't, like, read your texts or anything, but he does silently judge your friends, aswell as sometimes glare at anyone.
He has a huge soft spot for you.
If he's in the middle of lecturing or arguing with someone, maybe because of a mission, and you walk in or he notices you walking by, he will stop and say good morning/good afternoon/whatever time it is.
Warning, 'cringe' below, because I do not know how to use spanish nicknames properly, please forgive me :(
"(Random spiderman) this mission was important! You made mistake that could've costed someone their life!- good morning, Cariño."
^ this is what I mean by that.
Sometimes, he makes lyla monitor you on missions 10 times more then any other spider because he gets worried about you.
He will help you with your spidey suit, and making a suit if it rips or you don't have one yet.
This man will watch soccer, and get pissed off at how badly they're playing, like, you could jsut be in another room or sitting next to him doing your own thing and all of a sudden you'll hear a roar of spanish curses and such, because someone made a stupid move while playing.
He'll make you pack lunches, burritos, Quesadillas, Empanadas, Enchiladas, etc, (now I'm hungry thinking about it😭). If you don't like any of those or are allergic to certain ingredients used in those, he'll make you something else, a sandwich, burger, maybe French fries, sliced fruit, strawberrys dipped in chocolate (if your not allergic), pasta, lasagna, etc. Or he'll just buy you some takeout and put it in a lunch box for you. Whatever you prefer :)
Supports you no matter what, no matter your identity, religion, sexuality, race, etc, he supports you :).

empire state of mind // tasm!peter parker
❥ warm New York, cold nights, sushi, pining, heroes and their hopeless romanticism.
wc: 1.5k
navigation ✩ new york private life (I) ✩ manhattan longing (III)
Tumblr media
The movie finishes with little to no emotional distractions from either of you. You look to Peter, "This was fun! We need to do it again sometime."
You smile but all Peter feels is dread. Are you sending him home? Already? He's had a great time but he doesn’t wanna go home so soon.
“Yeah… I had a lot of fun too,” he gives a downturned smile.
"How about you come back on Friday? I'm free all day after my class at 10."
Your voice drowns out and Peter feels a tingle up his back. The hairs on his arms stand on end. Something bad is happening...
He turns his head, realizing that whatever his Spidey-Sense is telling him is happening, is major. He tries to hide his worry as he stands, grabbing his bag from beside the door.
"H-hey! Where are you going?" the worry filling up your throat and spilling into your tone.
"Friday. After 10. Sounds amazing. I'll be there. Gotta go-" he doesn't stay to hear your response. Slamming the door behind him. You're left on the couch, in shock and feeling a little sad.
A few moments later, you see Spider Man swing by your window and off into town, towards the flashing red and blue lights.
꒦꒷꒦꒷꒦꒷꒦꒷♡꒷꒦꒷꒦꒷꒦꒷꒦
That was Tuesday, it's now Thursday night.
Sorry for dashing off last night, I forgot I had to pick some things up for my aunt!
Peter's message from Wednesday sits unopened on your phone. You have no idea how to respond.
♡.
Peter's all kinds of a mess right now. Terrified he messed things up by leaving so quickly the other night. Nervous that your date is canceled. He hasn't heard back from you since that night.
What if you're mad? Or now uninterested because of the way he ran out? What can I do to fix this? Peter's internal thoughts have been going haywire since Tuesday.
♡.
You phone buzzes as you begin to study for one of your exams. You decide to ignore it
Then it buzzes, and again.
You grab the device in anger with full intentions of putting it on do not disturb. Until you see the messages are from Peter.
Be ready tomorrow at 2.
I'm taking you somewhere nice to make up for my actions.
Is that sushi place still an option?
You smile and respond: Only if you show up on time :)
꒦꒷꒦꒷꒦꒷꒦꒷♡꒷꒦꒷꒦꒷꒦꒷꒦
Peter does show up on time, early actually. He takes you downtown, walking through little shops, trying to get the confidence to hold your hand.
Right now would be the perfect time.
The both of you walking along the sidewalk. Shoulder to shoulder.
Do it, Peter. You both think. And then, your thoughts separate.
I'm basically begging for it with the way I'm pushing my shoulder into his. From you.
What if she doesn't want that? And I ruin the whole moment? From Peter.
Fuck it. Peter steadies his breathing and goes to wrap his pinky around your index.
Just as his finger starts to brush against yours, you move your hand, running digits through your hair.
Peter curls and uncurls his fingers by his side.
"Ugh, this heatwave is fucking ridiculous," you hum, holding your hair into a temporary ponytail. Smiling at the boy.
To Peter Parker, you are the most stunning woman he's ever seen. And this moment encompasses that completely. Flyaway hairs framing your face, chest glowing from sweat, cheeks flushed from the heat, and smile beaming.
If only he could grow a pair and hold your hand.
"Yeah, tell me about it. The air conditioning in my apartment's broken. It's just me, a lonely fan, and a lot of open windows," he smiles at you, nervous of talking too much.
You can't help but feel your chest flutter every time he gives you that bashful smile. Something in the way his cheeks change color and his eyes dart around awkwardly keeping your heart pounding.
"Well. Anytime you feel yourself getting too hot, you can always come over," you wink and waltz into a nearby store, holding the door for him.
Peter feels his hands begin to shake, the temperature in his body rising and he suspects it's not from the weather. He follows you in.
You bounce around the shop happily, picking up the mini glass figures and examining each one, showing them all to Peter.
He gazes at you with a content smile on his face. He could get used to this.
꒦꒷꒦꒷꒦꒷꒦꒷♡꒷꒦꒷꒦꒷꒦꒷꒦
The hours come and go, but as five-o'clock draws near you and Peter begin to make your way towards the aforementioned sushi restaurant.
You step in and are in immediate awe. Neon red led's light up the dim rooms. Candles flicker on each table, illuminating the accompanying roses. The clack of your shoes reverberates off the black marble floor and falls in time with the soft jazz flowing through the building.
"Oh wow..." you breathe.
Peter walks behind you with a smug grin on his face. He aimed to impress you with this place. It seems he hit the bullseye.
"How many?" A very well dressed, middle aged woman asks, smiling.
"Just two." Peter answers.
"Follow me." The lady turns the corner after grabbing two menus.
After being sat and ordering drinks, Peter goes to look at his menu. You kick him (lightly) from under the table.
He jumps. "Ah! What was that for?!"
"You didn't tell me how nice this place was gonna be!" You whisper rather sharply.
"Well, I wanted to impress you. And make up for everything," Peter smiles.
"You can do all that without letting me dress like a slob to go to a place like this!"
"I think you look beautiful." Peter blurts. Eyes wide, face red.
"Oh." Your voice is just above a whisper. "Well.. uh, thank you," you smile at him and his whole world lights up.
꒦꒷꒦꒷꒦꒷꒦꒷♡꒷꒦꒷꒦꒷꒦꒷꒦
You exit the front doors of the restaurant, cold night air stinging your lungs.
"That was amazing, Peter. thank you so much," you stuff your hands into your pockets.
"Of course! I had to make everything up to you," he smiles down at you. Again, having the same battle of brain and heart over holding your hand, both of which being pushed further into your pockets.
"We definitely have to do this again," you begin to cross the street, assuming Peter follows behind you.
"Hey! y/n! Wait!" Peter's scared tone stops you in your tracks in the street as you turn to look at him.
"wha--" you hear a horn and can barely distinguish headlights from beside you before a pair of warm, rather strong, arms are embracing you - holding you an equally as strong body.
Your chest goes numb with adrenaline, face heating up from the proximity of Peter's face to yours.
"Oh my god. Are you okay?" His breath is heavy, warm chest pushing into yours and heart pounding.
"Uh... yeah... are you?"
"I'm fine. I think my ankle is bruised from the fall but it's alright, as long as you're okay."
Your chest continues fluttering but no longer from fear. The way Peter just smiled at you could light the whole world up.
"Here," you stand up, offering the boy a hand. "Let's go back to my place and assess the damage."
Peter takes your hand, following you back home.
You turn to him. "Thank you, by the way. You totally just saved my life."
⏪︎ peter's pov ⏪︎
Peter smiled, holding the door open as you exit the restaurant. He'd had such a great day with you so far, though he worried at every point he would make a wrong move and mess everything up.
He didn't.
"That was amazing, Peter. thank you so much."
This is it. Peter thinks. My best possible chance to grab her hand.
You stuff your hands into your pockets.
Shit.
"Of course! I had to make everything up to you," Peter smiles down at you.
"We definitely have to do this again."
Peter watches you step down from the sidewalk and onto the asphalt. His head snaps to the left, seeing headlights. A car. Moving fast. Right for you.
His whole body goes numb, heart pounding.
"Hey! y/n! Wait!"
You turn, freezing.
Peter feels a build of anxiety from his toes to his head. You're not moving.
The hairs on his arms stand up, and he's moving before his thoughts can catch up. And everything feels like it's in slow motion.
He lunges, wrapping his arms around you, pulling both of you back towards the sidewalk. Peter's ankle twists and he lands, back thudding against the pavement, holding you snug against him.
His breath is harsh.
"Oh my god. Are you okay?" Peter can feel your hearts pounding in the same, fear-driven tempo.
"Uh... yeah... are you?" Your eyes search his.
"I'm fine. I think my ankle is bruised from the fall but it's alright, as long as you're okay." And he means it.
"Here," you stand up, offering the him a hand. "Let's go back to my place and assess the damage."
Peter gladly takes your hand, also taking note of the smoothness, and the gentle way you lead him. He feels warmth slowly spread down his back, realizing his ankle might not be the only injury he sustained.
"Thank you, by the way. You totally just saved my life."

Deku squad interacting with reader who is like Peter Parker/Spider-Man, with both quirk and personality similar to their Marvelverse counterpart
Gender-neutral reader. This one is kinda angsty.
Tumblr media
Izuku Midoriya
When he first saw you swinging on your webs, he was jotting down those notes, man. Ain’t no way he’s missing a single second of this. He thought you were so cool, he basically had stars in his eyes whenever he saw you in combat.
He notices how you always crack a joke even in high-pressure situations, and he thinks he knows why since Kaminari does something similar. He figured that it was to hide how scared you were. A lot of heroes did this, but he was still worried about you.
You both are alike in the fact that you both mourn the loss of the people you weren’t able to save, even if All Might warned you both that this would be the case every single time you went into battle. However, the way you dealt with the grief was unhealthy. You came close to killing the enemy, and Midoriya often had to hold you back.
He couldn’t help you a ton, but he would be there to listen whenever you needed him to. The amount of times he stayed up on FaceTime for you was nothing to laugh at, but he would do it over and over again for his significant other.
Tumblr media
Shoto Todoroki
He doesn’t recall ever seeing a quirk like yours, so he wonders if it can handle the extreme temperatures that his own quirk creates. He was surprised to see that the webs held when he used his fire, but wasn’t surprised to see that they froze and broke when he used his ice.
He never understands your jokes, so it might be awkward. He’s also not that great with emotions, so he doesn’t realize that you laugh to hide the pain and fear that you are feeling. You will have to tell him after school when you both get to talking about trauma.
He only became a hero so that he could piss off Endeavor. You became a hero to save the lives of the ones you loved. You once got so angry at the loss of an innocent citizen that Todoroki had to encapsulate you in a dome of ice just so you wouldn’t kill anyone.
Once the ice melted and he saw the tears run down your face, he pulled you into his arms and held you. He had no words to say, and he knew that it would be unwise to let you be alone in a time of great despair, so he pressed your head to his heart as you listened to his heartbeat.
Tumblr media
Ochako Uraraka 
She was amazed by your quirk as well. After all, if she touched a web with all 5 fingers, would it float with her or would she be stuck to it? There’s only one way to find out! She found out that the web was still stuck to the surface, but now she was stuck as well…
She gets very worried whenever you crack a joke when you’re in battle. Your spidey-sense would activate itself and you would make a pun about it, but Uraraka knew that you were concerned about the situation. She could feel the fear.
Sure, she became a hero for the income, but that doesn’t mean that she doesn’t understand the pain of losing a life you were supposed to save. The guilt that crawls into you when you have to tell that person’s family that they won’t be making it home. However, it doesn’t affect her as much as it affects you.
The nights she spent holding you to her chest as you cried and screamed in the pain of not being able to save everyone were painful for her to bear as well. You were grateful that she was always there, but it was hard for you to think about the emotional distress you were putting on her as well. She tells you not to worry, but you know that it’s taking a toll on her.
Tumblr media
Tsuyu Asui
Your webs reminded her of her own tongue. Your webbing was definitely superior, as it trapped villains, was heat resistant, was biodegradable (technically), and clung to multiple different surfaces. It was intriguing to her.
She tends to remain serious in battle, but she can’t help but feel the tension lessen whenever you crack a joke or make a pun. Sure, this was all out of fear, but it was very effective. It was a little flavor of you in the fight.
Being a hero meant that you couldn’t save anyone, and everyone felt that pain when the casualties were counted on TV. You would tear up about how you weren’t able to save them, and Tsu would be there to comfort you.
She was aware that this would take a toll on everyone’s mental and emotional wellbeing, but she never knew that losing someone you didn’t even know could make you so angry and upset. So, she hugs you. She hugs you to make sure that you and her are going to be okay.
Tumblr media
Tenya Iida
He was in awe of your resilience and your technique with your webs, and looked at you with respect. Your quirk was definitely unique, and he wanted to see if he could go up against it without getting stuck in the webs. Spoiler Alert: he couldn’t.
He always scolds you whenever you crack a joke, always yelling about how this wasn’t the appropriate time to be doing such foolish things. He doesn’t know that it’s to mask the deep fear you felt for everyone and for yourself.
You both were very angry people (even if Tenya doesn’t want to admit it). I mean, you both have tried to kill villains, which wasn’t what heroes were supposed to do. Some of the others have to hold you back from doing anything reckless that could drag your name through the mud.
He’s not particularly great with handling emotions himself, but he hates to see you suffer whenever you hear about some citizen dying at the hands of a cruel person. You would cry into his chest about how you should have saved them, even if it was impossible for you to do so.

Romantic Homicide [PART 2] (Miguel O’Hara x Reader)
Tumblr media
Summary: After you thought you left Miguel for good, Hobie Brown makes an unexpected appearance in need of help.
A/N: Quite a few people wanted a part two and I couldn’t think of how to continue it until recently!… also I’m sorry in advance for all the feels ),:
Warnings: Mentions of blood and wounds, cussing
READ PART ONE HERE
-
Hobie Brown was quick to approach you and loop his arm with yours. “No time to explain, Miguel is insane.”
“Hobie, what are you doing here? Miguel abandoned me.”
He shook his head, glancing at you briefly. “Peter B told us. He confronted Miguel and it all went to shit… a new recruit came in and Miguel is basically wanting to get rid of him. You’re the only person who can talk some sense into him.”
You removed your arm from his, giving him a cautious look. “And why should I? He wants nothing to do with me. I haven’t seen him or anyone in months!”
“Luv, we don’t have time for this. If we aren’t back soon enough Miguel might kill the kid!”
“What? What kid?” You were beyond confused at this point. Would the Miguel that loved you and held you so dearly be capable of killing another?
But it only took a second to remember the way he made you felt. The abandonment and the tears you shed for him.
“He thinks a kid named Miles is going to ruin the whole multiverse and will do anything to stop him. The kid needs help. We tried to talk to him but he’s taken down so many that have stood up to him.”
You nodded and without thinking a second more, you ran into the portal.
It felt weird traveling once again, when the last time you did was full of heartbreak and disappointment. Now you were different, stronger… you had built yourself up and became someone Miguel would never get to love.
It was only a few more seconds when you landed in a dimension filled with green hues. It was different from yours, and every turn made your spidey senses crawl.
Hobie was close behind and put his mask on when he landed. “Follow me and when we get there… just be aware he isn’t the Miguel you love…” He kept hesitating and didn’t want to assume that something bad would happen. You were their last hope in helping Miles. “Just try to talk some sense into him.”
You weren’t entirely sure if the Miguel you were approaching was going to even be listening, let alone willing to understand.
Nonetheless, Hobie gave you a bracelet to help you from glitching, and you & him began to swing through the buildings.
Your anxiety began to grow more and more with each swing through the cold night air. What if Miguel didn’t listen? Would he hurt you?… would he…?
The memories of him swinging besides you, wrapping you in his arms and kissing you mid air, pretending to drop you, only for the two of your webs to latch together in a desperate attempt to be close together again.
He loves you. He loved you.
You had to remind yourself nothing was the same anymore.
It wasn’t long before Hobie stopped on a rooftop very carefully, crouching behind a brick wall. You followed suit and could hear Miguel’s voice.
He was yelling at someone, giving him orders on where to go and to be aware of every move Miles makes, to not get tricked into a trap. Once eyes were locked on him, they would strike.
You felt all your emotions bottle to the surface, but Hobie gave your hand a squeeze and gestured for you to go speak to him. He told you he would leave to go find the others, and bring them back in case he pulls anything with you.
You nodded and made your way around the wall. His broad back was turned to you as he peered over the city, like a vampire on the hunt for blood.
Miguel’s mask was not on, and you could see his messy hair blow in the wind. His hands were balled into fists and every muscle was tense and alert.
Before you could say anything, he let out one of his glowing webs to wrap around you, bringing you close to him, his sharp teeth baring and his eyes completely red.
They softened only for a moment when he realized it was you. You were trapped in his web and couldn’t get out of his strong grip.
“(Y/N)?” He almost broke, wanting to let you go and apologize and kiss you so deeply it would never end. But he didn’t, he stayed as he was, not letting you go.
He lifted one hand and removed your mask from your face, revealing how many scars you endured the last months apart.
You had picked so many fights to prove you were capable… that you were worthy of holding the Spider-woman title. No matter how many fights you won, you still walked away bruised and bloody.
Miguel could see every single bit of your face illuminated by the orange hue of his web. He softly traced his finger over one scar on your cheek. “You’ve been busy.”
“It seems like you have as well.”
He was not the person you once knew anymore. While you had figured that out months ago when you left him, this was a whole new Miguel.
He was a heartbroken and vengeful man. Your leaving caused his ultimate break, no remorse or sorrow for anyone who stepped in front of him. They all seemed to say the same thing, have the same story, everything was repetitive.
You had been the only thing he loved truly and he messed it up… if he had not visited the dimension with your daughter, everything would have been different.
“Why and how are you here?” Miguel was analyzing every inch of your face, trying to see if it was truly the woman he loves or another version of you.
“I was told you’re going crazy,” you said and tried to wiggle out of the bounds he held you in, but it was no use.
“And how is that?”
“Miguel, do not play stupid with me. You are not yourself, you’re not well. You haven’t been for months.”
He knew what you were saying was true, but he didn’t like hearing the truth. Especially from someone he loved so dearly, and who could easily read him. He stared into your eyes, and could tell you weren’t going to pull anything with him, so he released you.
You stumbled a bit, trying to regain your footing after being held so tightly. “You never came to get me.”
Miguel scoffed and turned his back to you. “There was no reason to, you decided to run off and be dramatic while I was out saving the multiverse from collapsing. I don’t understand how you can’t comprehend that.”
It was your turn to scoff at his wild statement. “Excuse me? If I didn’t realize how important this all was, I wouldn’t have signed up in the first place. And I sure as hell wouldn’t have been your lover if this is what it had entailed.”
Miguel now snapped back to you, stepping dangerously close and staring you down, no longer with sorrow in his eyes, but a vengeful look. “You were the one to give up! I needed you, how couldn’t you have seen that? Why didn’t you stay? You had to leave just like our daughter!”
You were instantly quiet, eyes widened in horror at the revelation as to what had made him change.
Miguel realized his mistake the minute you spoke. “Our daughter?”
He shook his head, almost as if he was trying to get out the memories of Gabriella, your daughter from a different dimension who disappeared in his arms. “Forget what I said.”
“No, Peter B told me about her! He never mentioned the fact it was our daughter. You were so careless to find a version of ourselves where we had a child? And for what? For her to die because of your ignorance!”
Miguel was pacing now, his anger seeping through more so and he could feel everything slip away. The front he had for so long was breaking. He was breaking.
“You don’t understand, she needed me, she lost both of us.”
You couldn’t believe he was trying to justify it. “Miguel, you messed with her world. You had me, and you had to search for some reality where we have a daughter? We could’ve been together and had a daughter of our own by now. You shut me out and left me confused!”
“I didn’t want to lose you too.”
“And how did that work out for us?”
Miguel had reached his peak, “ENOUGH!”
He went to swing back towards you, but did not realize how close you were.
In a fatal swoop, the large spike on his arm cut your stomach.
In a second, you were on your knees, holding your stomach together. “Miguel?”
He dropped next to you in complete and utter shock, “(Y/N)? Baby, I’m sorry. I didn’t… I didn’t…”
Miguel grabbed you in his arms as you began to bleed out, with no hope to recover. He had cut you too deep.
“Baby, I’m so sorry. I’m so sorry.” He began to cry, and you looked up at him, unable to find any words through your pain. Your eyes blurry with tears and you could barely see Miguel. You reached your bloody hand to his cheek, gently rubbing it before dropping your hand entirely.
You were gone.
It was his fault.
And every spider-person only saw Miguel holding his lover’s body, covered in her blood, the spike in his arm showed it was his doing.
They would never believe it was an accident, because wouldn’t the ruthless leader kill a follower who no longer agreed with him?
Let alone a lover who ran away.
And Miguel wished he had ran after you in the first place.

Good. Here are my thoughts about Lotus and its history in ROTMNT.
Remember Shredder warping and appearing at the end of season 1? What if that distortion in time and space had created gaps like Spidey's New Home?
And he would have accidentally dragged Usagi Yuichi and Lotus Blossom. Only Yuichi comes from a different dimension, while Lotus is from Rise's dimension, but from a different time, like the Tang Dynasty.
So we have these two poor displaced people in a time, country and they don't even speak the local language. Yuichi and Lotus communicate through fairly rudimentary Japanese, basically trying to survive in a different world.
They resort to robbery, breaking and entering, extortion, and even work as mercenaries. Along the way they form a close, almost codependent relationship. But THEN COMES A PLOT TWIST…. there is another traveler, one who knows them both, but Yuichi and Lotus had never seen her before in their lives…. Her name is Koya and she wants to kill them. AND WHY THE HELL DOES SHE CALL THEM CAPTAIN AND COLONEL?!
Lotus before this was an assassin at the court of the empress or something like that. Look, I'm from Mexico and the history of China is long and confusing, bear with me. A girl with no clan or family ties, who has never allowed herself to stay in one place or have a family. A sensible, silent and disciplined person, with the great flaw of being indifferent to the pain of others or not understanding their emotions.
On the other hand, we have Yuichi with friends and family to return to. He is impulsive, arrogant, confident and a trouble magnet. Quite a contrast in which they learn from each other in this world of Rise that they don't understand and become friends because in a sad way, they are all they have. And to further angst, they are trapped for 2 and a half years and COUNTING!
(NOTE THAT I COUNT THE MONTHS FROM THE END OF S1 TO S2 + TWO YEARS FROM THE END OF THE SERIES TO THE ROTTMNT MOVIE).
They both miss home, the people they know and seeing that in this city called New York there are pieces of their culture, of their home but it's not quite the same. It burns, in a bittersweet way. Especially for Lotus, because that's her dimension, but it's not her home and Yuichi wants to go back to his clan and family, but they both get attached to each other. They're something they need, like they've always known each other….
Then they meet these people like… Timothy, Irma, Mona Lisa, Dr. Rockwell, Slash, Letherhead even the Hamato Clan. Lotus gets attached to the town, to her friends, to these people who are basically her family, BUT Yuichi wants to come back to continue Miyamoto Usagi's legacy, to be with his clan, his family…. but he also wants Lotus and the gang with him.
Differences of opinion drive a wedge between the two and are their main conflict when they are alone. And the tension only grows between Yuichi and Lotus when they meet the Hamato…..
I'm still thinking what could happen next, but that's basically the idea of my AU TRAVELERS.

for me the "Miguel as a cult leader or the ruling class" readings start to fall apart the second you try and argue for there being actual material based relations between the characters, or being able to successfully segregate the spider society into a very basic upper class/under class (labour force) structure.
because like. you don't accidentally end up with these kinds of power structures. they're function as they do in order for power and material resources to flow a certain way and pool amongst certain groups of people. but trying to apply that to spider society honestly just falls apart for me the second you try interogate that reading.
the key point is miguel doesn't materially benefit at all from the labour of spider society - he IS part of their labour, and the only thing that labour contributes towards is limiting the danger of villians running around. He runs around on missions personally and does what looks like admin work monitoring the Spot, as well as reviewing missions and delegating additional workload to other people as a leader. this is not a guy utterly removed from anything we can try classify as "labour".
Even if you want to argue his "material benefit" (very much stretching the definition lmao) to operating the society is social legitimisation of his own spiderman identity (something he seems to be self conscious of, if exploding at Miles in the train chase seems to be any indication) by virtue of the good he's doing, that starts to fall apart the moment you consider miguel has functionally isolated himself from that structure. in what we're shown, he doesn't engage at all in a casual manner with the wider society. he's holed away in his lab feeling sad and guilty - both emotions atsv takes specific care to portray in a way that highlights their genuine nature, by virtue of him always grieving alone and away from the eyes of others.
The very fact that he doesn't engage in a system he built to help spideys, that he doesn't take advantage of something that can help share the emotional burden he's bearing, forms the basis for the suppressed resentment he offloads onto miles ("And all this time, I have been the only one holding it all together!"). This character feels functionally isolated in his emotional burden BECAUSE he's isolated himself, because he doesn't confide in others. he does not materially benefit from spider society (aka his position as leader is not bound or enforced by something like wages, nor do you get a sense anyone else in the society views him that way) nor does he socially benefit from them, because he's isolated himself from engaging with them.

theory #2 
Nandor was on the balcony the whole time.
So I'm not going to waste time trying to convince anyone that Nandor Knows. Basically you do or you don't. For me it could go either way. I don't think there's necessarily enough proof in the text that he knows, just that 1. The show writers are clever enough to not actively disprove it (they do this all the time with things, it's something I admire. wwdits loves nothing more than its red herrings) 2. Im 97.3% sure Kayvan Novak was playing Nandor, post The Baron being fried part 2 electric boogaloo, as knowing Guillermo is a vampire - and that he was never coming back after fleeing. Not to get into actor objectives, etc. here, but that doesn't have to be supported by the text or something he's been told to do. As an actor you basically come up with these choices on your own by your own interpretations and what you feel would be the most interesting choice. I know a lot of people who have theories and will point to an actor's choices as proof of something that probably isn't in the text of the scripts themselves and those choices don't really have as much connection to the intent of the author as you might think. Although, I personally find an actor's choices more compelling than what’s in the text, especially if it’s an interesting one that makes for a compelling emotional arc for the character.
tldr; my gut says that Kayvan is playing Nandor like he knows; at least in the last half of this episode. But even if he is, that doesn't necessarily make it canon. 
So, moving to the meat of the theory, a small thing that got me thinking is - we don't see (or hear) Nandor for a very long time during Guillermo’s confession. We don't hear him crashing around in the background, comically trying to set up a platter of blood, no insert shots of a camera spying on him while Guillermo’s voice carries over in order to give an extra weight of guilt to the words confessing his betrayal…there’s nothing. Now, again, this isn't proof. I just find it unsettling whenever characters talk about someone and you can't see where the subject of their conversation is, and yet you know that they're close by. It’s such a classic set up for the ‘oh no they were right behind you all along’. (ngl I was certain that Nandor was going to be right behind The Guide the whole time because her blocking put her hiding most of the hall from view and that had my palms itchy with suspicion). Of course tho all these things could have perfectly innocent explanations for them. That's again a big strength of wwdits that gets often overlooked: They know the tropes and either lean so heavily on them to the point of absurdity or more commonly subvert them in some way. Wwdits isn’t a sitcom, it's a satire of a sitcom. They want you to be thinking “where is Nandor?” during this scene, subconsciously, in the back of your mind. Even if it does nothing more than just to fuck with us. 
A final third thing that tickled my spidey-sense is that we never see the full balcony after Nandor goes to fetch the drinks. Here is the shot set up right before, during (Nandor’s absence), and after:
Tumblr media
Most of the set up here before Nandor leaves is in a wide shot that shows majority of the stairs and balcony. Which makes sense, it’s the best way to fit everyone, including Colin on the left of the stairs and Nadja on the right, into the same shot. But once Nandor walks down the hall that shot is replaced with mid shots and shot-reverse-shots between Guillermo and The Baron. Even at the ‘During’ point, where The Guide is speaking and we get the widest shot of the foyer - we only just barely reach over the middle of the balcony, and by then Guillermo had already confessed.
Right when Nandor comes back tho? We’re back to the wide shots that include the balcony. 
Now, the hardest part of such a simple theory was understanding the house layout better in order to know how/if Nandor could get to the balcony from the back of the hallway (and not the front staircase) without being seen, since all we know is that he heads down the hall when he announces he will go get a “carafe of blood”. Logically I thought that he would head to the kitchen.
Which then got me thinking…where the fuck is the kitchen??  
Sadly the floor plans released by the set designer aren't actually that helpful in answering this because it shows that kitchen on the first floor, the first door on the right. But we know that the first door on the right isn’t the kitchen due to the pilot and Go Flip Yourself episodes. The pilot shows a smaller, dimly lit area with different fixtures that is probably either a storage area or a restroom. In Go Flip Yourself, we know that the wall would have been taken out in order to extend Guillermo’s alcove into a proper room, which they wouldn’t have done if it was adjacent to the kitchen since they were ment to renovate that area too. Plus there was septic sewage seeping in under his floor which lends more to it being a first story bathroom (also because I don’t think that there is anywhere else to put a bathroom on the fist floor according the floor plans). The other doors on the left are Nandors room and the other room on that side probably leads to the basement since Guillermo exits that way from the cage he was held in season 3. On the other side we have one more door that I have no idea where it goes to but if I had to guess I would think it’s maybe Nadja’s and Laszlo’s room. Then there’s a little adjacent alcove/hallway at the very end. Here we have a lamp, a clock, and either a chair or a giant feather thing on one side. And on the other side there is a blue door.
And I only had to find all that out by rewatching several episodes and freeze-framing multiple times to the point of agony.
Making my best guess as to where the kitchen is: it’s probably at the very, very end of the hallway, past all the bedrooms and main hallway, to the blue door on the right side of the alcove. I figured this by the blue door having a similar door handle and that it opens in from the left instead of the right like all the others on the same floor. 
So. The most logical thought is that Nandor went into the kitchen in order to get the drinks, right? But how does this get him to the balcony? 
In the Local News episode, Guillermo makes towards down the hall with his dinner but Colin Robinson stops him and tells him not to go that way. Here we see Guillermo put his hand on the left stair banister to indicate that he is going to take the stairs up and head to the dining room on the second floor.
Tumblr media
If Guillermo goes to the dining room from upstairs then we can make the leap that the dining room was the intended location to begin with when he was going down the hall. So - there must be a way to do that, right? In the little tag at the end of the episode Guillermo finishes his dinner and goes right instead of left like he did when he was running away from The Baron.
Tumblr media
He then takes these little stone stairs to the first floor but right before that we have a small little peak of horizontal subway tile.
Tumblr media
Which is the exact subway tile that we see in the kitchen.
Tumblr media
So the kitchen connects to the staircase to the second floor in the hallway of the dining room. And, because we have just seen Guillermo run down that same hallway and take a left, crashing into the wooden frame and onto the first floor…
Tumblr media Tumblr media
… if Nandor took those same stairs up, went down the hall, past the dining room, and took a left….he would be right on the balcony. 
Looking down on Guillermo's confession.
And, since nothing happens in wwdits without being filmed the next question would be: well ok but was it filmed? Because if it wasn’t filmed then it didn’t happen. You can’t have the reveal. Now wwdits doesn’t exactly play fair all the time with its film crew. There’s several times when a shot is impossible by virtue of it supposedly being filmed in real time. And really, that’s just going to happen. You can’t use a lot of film language already with how wwdits is filmed and making sure every shot is in accordance to roughly 4-5 in-universe apparently human people with no reshoots is impossible. But we have been a little bit more trained to think about the film crew this season, what with them actually participating more into what we’re shown - the set up of shots, hearing them ask questions and push Guillermo to talk about his turning with Derek, the crew that followed Guillermo to talk to his mother is actually pointed out to be two people, when his aunt asks them if they're hungry. From that we can also start thinking about how there are probably two people per plot (a plot and b plot), one for camera and another most likely a producer or sound guy. And we know that just about everyone is downstairs in this intervention, with the exception of Laszlo, who is catatonic and easily visible in the library on everyone’s right. So if just about everyone is in one place you would only need two people here. The other two would follow the ‘b’ plot: Nandor. But we don’t see anyone follow him down the hall. 
Well, again keeping in mind impossible shots happen all the time, I don’t think it’s a stretch to give a little weight to this shot here:
Tumblr media
Right after Guillermo and The Baron part ways and Guillermo opens the door, frying the Baron for the second time, that shot is caught from the balcony, but it would have been ‘impossible’ considering none of the crew were seen going upstairs. Even if they had left with Nadja or Nandor when the camera had turned to close in on the The Baron and Guillermo’s conversation, both of them had gone down the hall on the first floor (most likely to their rooms) while The Guide went across, away from the stairs, probably to the library with Laszlo. So there would have been no reason for them to be upstairs if they were following the vampires like they’re supposed to.  
Unless, they were already upstairs to begin with. 
Conclusion:
So we have the opportunity and means for both part of the camera crew and Nandor to have been up on the balcony while Guillermo confessed:
A part of the crew, probably stuck upstairs after Guillermo had run away from The Baron, stayed up there for any number of various reasons. Damage to their equipment, resetting equipment, etc. but either way, they’re not necessary to film the gang downstairs since they are all together at the moment. 
Nandor, going down the hall, to the very end, and then to the right puts him into the kitchen. From there he either can’t find a platter, cups, blood, becomes curious, who the hell knows, and decides to go upstairs using the tiny stone staircase hidden there. (maybe he is looking for a fancy platter to put the drinks on and they would be all upstairs in the dining room since they were just hosting a party). 
Maybe hearing his name or anything else to spark his curiosity he walks down the hall and towards the balcony that Guillermo was just running down a few minutes earlier. There he watches Guillermo talk about being turned by Derek. 
The other half of the crew that were left upstairs get lucky enough to catch it on tape and then lucky again to get a perfect shot of The Baron being fried for a second time when that happens later. 
Nandor returns to the group with his platter of drinks, knowing that Guillermo went behind his back to be turned by Derek. No one but the crew knows he was ever up there.
And that is how (I think) Nandor was on the balcony the whole time.

HE‼️ yes he wears suspenders bc he's a short fat nerd
I'll be flat out honest my au is veeery messy rn as things change constantly (I'm chronically indecisive) so take this little ramble with a grain of salt
Octavius is very close friends with Curt Connors. While Connors is dealing with his lizard arc, (Liz is the first baddie in the timeline atm) the doc is working on his passion project: the arms.
The arms are a vessel to explore the abilities of AI. Otto has always had a fascination for robots and the like. After he's finished with them, they create a neural connection to his brain through a spinal implant. What spiked their advancement in intelligence was the man's brain itself. They basically come alive after he first uses them.
With the newfound consciousness, the AI struggles to understand complex things like morality. Thisss is what makes Octavius become Doc Ock. The artificial and organic minds become too muddled.
random ass facts i have atm:
The arms get names at some point to differentiate between them and make communication easier.
Connors--after hearing about the arms for the first time--does not think they're a good idea. But ultimately he trusts Octavius to make the right decisions. (He shouldn't have.)
The arms are all addressed as "she," and Ock sees them as his daughters at some point.
Otto is nearsighted, and the goggles he wears have corrective lenses in them. Ideally, Spidey could just take off his goggles to stump him in a fight.
For right nooow, Ock is an alter ego, like Octavius has a secret identity for a while. It's not revealed that the two are the same until later. He dyes his graying black hair brown and gels it partially back for his Ock persona. Otto also has heterochromia so I was like "Oh Beck can give him contacts at some point haha"
Over the course of Ock's reign, the arms get advancements to make them more deadly. Like--I had a planned design for underside spines that are placed like the suckers on octopus limbs.
He absolutely hates being called Doctor Octopus, he thinks it sounds too silly. Doc Ock will suffice.
The first member of the Sinister Six (besides him ofc) is Flint Marko.
The green dots on the arms are supposed to be lights and they can display the arm's "emotions."
I crackship him w/ Raimi Ock just for shits and giggles sue me >:)

Pacify Her
*dark AU: Hobie is psychotic and obsessed with Miles. Not fluff-and not for the faint of heart. So yeah, trigger warning!
Tired, blue boy walks my way
Hobie leans against the wall in the hallway in HQ, his dark eyes stares far watching Miles along side with his girlfriend, Gwen. The two were spending time together, it irks the punker so much.
Holding a girl's hand
His eyes glares at the two holding hands, he inhale his cigarette before exhale a long grey smoke. The feeling in his chest is pure jealous, green with envy glint in his narrow eyes.
Each step he made, his heavy boots clicks by the amount of accessories he carries. Following the two from afar without their Spidey Senses warning them. He's their friends, they would never think Hobie would hurt them- well, Hobie's eyes on Gwen.
Boy does he want to bash her brains with his guitar. The little weak insect touching his little prey, his little Miles. The Latino laughs along with Gwen talking about something. He didn't care, he only wants to see Miles' smile. That beautiful wide smile like beaming sunshine all warm, all too perfect. He wants his Sunflower.
The blond Spider-woman giggles as she lay her head onto her seventeen boyfriend. Hobie scowls with disgust at the little cunt touching his Sunflower. Someone so tainted and broken shouldn't touched his Miles, not even Gwen.
The little traitor with her stupid emotional pathetic life. He only took her under his wing so he can use her. Good thing, he did. She was able to paint this perfect picture of Hobie Brown, Spider Punk. The cool Spider-man who does whatever he wants.
To say the least when he heard Miles, he thought he was weak too. A lad coming from a perfect home, middle class family with a dad that's Chief of Police. Massive eye roll the way Gwen talked about him. He assumes he was a white boy like Peter Parker- Oh boy was he so wrong.
Hobie's happy he's wrong to say the least. Seeing Miles being powerful, strong never forgetting who he is- it's enough to get his crotch aching in his skinny jeans. He lick his lips thinking about how he saw Miles in a wave panic was able to fend off all of Spider Society by himself.
Such a golden boy, so much so Hobie wants to break him. Make him his. To keep his Sunflower looking at him and only him.
That basic bitch leaves finally
Black eyes watches Gwen leaving Miles alone in the cafeteria. A wide smirk appeared on his face.
He watches her leaving into the left exit having to put on her Spider-woman mask being in a hurry. Perfect.
Now I can take her man
Leaving Miles all alone. He appeared in front of his Sunflower being laid back. "Peter Pan, what's up, mate?" He asked.
Miles lift his head up from drawing Gwen while eating his lunch, "Hobie, my man. What's up?" A wide bright smile on his face looking so joyful to see him.
Hobie likes Miles- no like is what little sprogs say when they play stupid games like Cooties. Hobie is infatuated with Miles, obsessive to the point he knows Miles' breathing pattern.
Only Miles know how to claw their way through survival. To proven themselves to shitty people that wank themselves the moment they see a poor bum staring down. The amount of power to show and never give up. Hobie wants him.
"Nuthin' much. Where's Gwendy?" Hobie asked taking a french fry from Miles' basket of fries. "Saw you two snogging."
"Oh, she went to the restroom. I'm sure she's fine." Miles happily said. "Hahaha, we weren't snogging, man. We were holding hands."
"You're a virgin, mate. You need to be forward." He knowns Miles is the type to take his time, romantic at heart. The poor lad doesn't know Gwen isn't one to wait.
He should know, Gwen had a crush on him when he took her under his wing. She would casually flirt with her disgusting awkward flaunts or being touchy.
Of course, Gwen had to agree to be with Miles when he asked her out. She's the kind that never wants to hurt her friend's heart. So the poor lad living in this lie.
"Me? Nah, I like to take my time." Miles being bashful.
Hobie grins at him, "Oh yeah?" Hobie turns pinks whenever he sees Miles, that's what people say. At first, he noticed his universe style and learns to use his emotions to his benefit. When he sees Gwen, he thinks of something nice so his true colors aren't show. At first it was hard but he got the hang of it.
"Yeah?"
Miles shyly nodded.
Just then Gwen appears to kiss Miles on his cheek. "Hey bae, I'm back." Happily sitting next to her boyfriend.
Hobie's eyes carefully side eyes her, his jealousy almost peek through. Then he calms down when he saw Miles' smile. "Hey bae! How was the restroom? Wasn't pack?"
"Nah, it was fine." She noticed Hobie happily said, "Hey Hobs, what's up!"
Someone told me stay away from things that aren't yours
"I'm good, Gwendy. Just talkin' to Peter Pan, here about sex." Hobie casually said.
"Ohhh, wow. Miles, look at you." She said out loud.
"Hobie!" Miles looks a bit flustered, then gave a weak smile when his doe eyes glanced at the punker.
Hobie only winks at him.
But was he yours, if he wanted me so bad?
"Ho-oo-oo-bie!" Miles came crying to his punker.
Pavtri was chilling with the punker on his houseboat. The two were hanging out until Miles came through the portal in full tears.
Hobie stop what he was doing to calm the Spider-man down. Pavtri made chai for Miles to calm his nerves. "Dude, what happened?" Pavtri asked
Miles sniff, "Gwe-Gwe-Gwen broke up with me!" He cries into Hobie's arms, "Sh-Sh-She said she was sorry and couldn't do it anymore!"
"Awe, man. That's terrible." Pavtri said out loud.
"Yeah, bruv. Why would she do that?" Hobie fake gasp, he knew Gwen wouldn't last with Miles. She's too problematic.
"I-I dunno 'no!" He looks up with his puffy eyes and pouty lips, "I think it's because she wanted sex, but..."
Pavtri rubs Miles' back, "But?"
"I'm Asexual!" Miles came out being in full tears. "I-I-I don't want to have sex..."
This caught Hobie off guard. What a beautiful secret! His perfect Sunflower became even more pure to him. Knowing that virgin hole will never be touched, those puffy pouty lips never sucking dick or pussy. To see such lovely supple skin in sweat- Oh no, his Sunflower is so pure.
Hobie's body for the first time turned vibrant pink with hints of red. Pavtri noticed being surprised. Miles didn't noticed being too much in tears about his break up.
The punker is know to be a lad that loves sex. In the beginning, he did it for survival, but he does it for fun. Sex would mean nothing to him from time to time. Flaunting it never impresses him, but this!
Miles being a beautiful virgin, it gets him going. A huge bulge from his skinny jeans formed. "Shh, it's okay, luv." Hobie made Miles sit on his lap almost straddle position.
Miles sniffs so cutely with a pout, "Bu-bu-but Gwen?"
"Sh-sh-sh, you just lay here and calm down. I'll never leave your side." Hobie hums.
Pavtri watches the two feeling very weirded out by Hobie's flirts. He thought it was a low blow to be after Miles after a break up. But the Indian Spider-man stood quiet.
Miles nodded with his arms around the punker's neck, "Okay. Like this." He lays his head on Hobie's chest.
"Yes, luv. Don't worry... just be here with me. I'll protect you." His voice lingers on. His eyes on Pavtri gave an indication for him to leave. The Spider-man rushed out without another sign.
"Okay..." His Miles rest with him, "But Hobie... what's this?" Feeling something poking his bottom.
"Nothing, luv."
Pacify her
Hobie saw Gwen in her Spider-woman swinging from building to building. It's a cold night in her world, she was doing her parol to make sure her city safe. When she got on top of one building she checks on her watch, "Hmm... no drugs here?" She looked confused by the news through a mysterious email she received.
Unaware of the stealthy punker coming behind her, he took hold of his guitar the closer he got to Gwen. His eyes saw red, no one hurt his Miles.
When Gwen's Spider Sense kicked up, she quickly turns around only to say, "Hobie?"
She's getting on my nerves 
"Hey Gwendy!" A sinister smile appear on his face with a sadistic eyes gleaming in bright red. Gwen stood with wide eyes before able to process that her friend slams his guitar against her head.
The Spider-woman fell on the floor feeling her nose bleed, "Wha-Why?" She cries with her blue eyes pleading for help, her jaw broken. Too freaked out from what happens.
Hobie licks his lips, "This for Miles, Gwendy. Don't worry, I'll take good care of him." He lift his guitar one more time with one harsh swing.
*WHACK!* *CRUNCH* *THUD*
The sound of his guitar bashing into Gwen's limp lifeless body over and over again only leaving a mush of meat and organs. Hobie darkly chuckles having some of her blood on him. Finally the pest is gone!
Now it's time to hide the body... where to, where to? He stood smoking his cigarette. Hmmm...
You don't love her
Been weeks since friends of Gwen saw her. Miles been trying to contact her but nothing. No one knows where she went too. Hobie watches as everyone were so confused about her disappearances until Miguel made a comment about Spider-heroes always coming and going.
"But-but she isn't the time to just leave!" Pavtri said to Miguel.
Miles nodded, "Yeah! She was-" Miguel cut him off, "Miles, aren't you two broken up?"
"Yeah?"
"Then, she's off to be on her own. Many Spider-heroes do that." Miguel looks down at Miles.
"But-" Miguel cut Miles, again which pissed Hobie off. "Morales, don't you think it's better to get away from it all?"
Miles frowns, "Yes, sir."
"Anyway, I'm sure she's fine. Now, can you all leave me alone." Miguel said out loud.
Miles looks down with worried with Pavtri hugging him, "Come on, Miles. We'll go drink a cup of tea."
Hobie was about to follow them until Miguel commented, "Not, you Brown...."
"Hmph?" Hobie saw Miles and Pavtri leaving the room. Then his heavy boots thud every step toward Miguel.
"I did my part in saving you hind. Now, you keep your part." Miguel's red eyes glaring at the punker in front of him.
"Yes, boss-man!" He tosses Miguel the flash drive, "We don't want anyone knowing there's two killers around- two serial killers."
Miguel catch the flash drive, he crushes it with his hand. "Good. Next time, I won't be so kind."
"Heh, next time don't fuck up, mate." Hobie grins darkly, "I saw your eyeing on Earth 9916, looks like your planning to having another sprog?"
"None of your business. Now leave or else," Miguel licks his lips, "I'll take your Sunflower. He looks pretty easy to fuck with." His red eyes gleams with lust.
Oh how he hate that fucker. But a lass, he needs his fellow killer acquaintance, they need each other to maintain this foolish propaganda of being great heroes to get what they want.
Hobie chuckles, "Watch it or I'll bash your lil kid's head- not the first time, I've done it." The two were having a stare down.
Miguel finally said, "Leave, Brown."
"Already doing that." Hobie was already out the door.
Stop lying with those words
Miles took a small bite of his burger as him and Pav went to hang out with Hobie on his houseboat. "So, what did Mr. Grumpy pants say?" Pavtri asked.
Hobie shrugs, "I dunno. I don't listen to shit." He wore his black ripped tank top having a bucket of red chum getting ready to dump it out of his boat.
"Mmm, I'm sorry, Hobie." Miles finally said, "Miguel must've been mad at me and took it out on you. I went to him for help but he seems so annoyed."
"More like too touchy. You saw how he keeps touching our shoulders so much." Pavtri shudders with disgust.
Miles took another bite. "Mmhhmm, I felt his eyes were on me for too long."
"Is that right?" Hobie asked putting on a fake smile as he stir the chum, "Looks like I have to give him a piece of my mind."
"No, Hobie. It's fine. I can handle myself." Miles being proud. "I don't want you to get in trouble."
"Nah, luv. I promise to protect you." Hobie turns to him.
Pavtri eyes on the red chum, "Um... Hobie why is that chum so red? Like it's not from your world?"
"I like to grab other world's crap to feed the fishes here or feed it to my dog." Hobie toss the bucket of red chum in the ocean as the fishes come by to eat. "See!"
Pavtri saw the way the chum looks too meaty red, then again he always thought chum always looks red. He shrugs it off. "Miles, your not hungry?"
"I'm sad Gwen left us. I hope she's okay." Miles pouted, "I hope her dad is fine. I never knew she would runaway, again."
"She's always running. Let her be. It's no use if she doesn't want help." Hobie coldly said then turn to his friends, "Oh, I almost forgot gifts for you two!"
"Gifts! Really? Wow!" Pavtri said out loud.
Miles said, "Wow, Hobie. What's the occasion."
"Nothing big." Hobie gave the two handmade necklaces with a small bottle filled with white dust?
"What's this?" Pavtri asked holding the necklace seeing the tiny bottle.
Miles puts the necklace on, "It's cool. I like it."
"Ohh, it's dirt from when we first met. Thought I made it... Gwen always had that idea." His eyes gleam seeing her bones dust being useful. Then he gave Pavtri a band shirt using Gwen's old Spider-woman's suit, "Try this on. I used old Spider-man patches from all of us..."
"Ohh, so cool!" Pavtri put on the shirt seeing the patches of their Spider-man suits even Gwen's on it. "Sweet! You can see the wear and tear!"
Hobie turns to Miles to hand him a shirt, "Here you go, luv."
"Oh thanks, Hobie. I'll keep this forever and ever." Miles happily puts on the shirt.
"Hey what's that jar?" Pavtri asked.
"Oh this is red paint... I'm going to write Poly's name."
"Oh you finally gonna write your Houseboat's name! Can I help?" Miles asked.
Hobie's lips twisted to an eerie smile, "Sure, luv. I made the paint myself. So I used a dry pigments that smell like iron... so its bit funky."
Pavtri said, "Miles should make some cool designs!"
"Ohh, can I?" Miles doe eyes on the punker.
"Yeah, whatever you want. Make sure you have fun with it." Hobie playfully dip his finger in the jar of red paint, then pull it out to tap on Miles' nose. "Okay, Sunflower?"
Miles giggles, "Okay, Hobie." The punker smirks widely having his Sunflower completely his.
Pacify her

Talk Shop Tuesday! What do you love most about writing Peter Parker?
Does Andrew Garfield count as an appropriate response? 🥵 But really I have such vivid memories of being 19 or 20 and going to the theaters to see The Amazing Spider-Man and falling absolutely head over heels in love with Peter Parker. I knew I always liked Spider-Man but it wasn’t until AG that I became obsessed. He was written for the girlies. He was written to be fallen in love with. And that is just what I did!
I like that Andrew’s Peter is the most sarcastic and funny, I like how fluid and expressive he is in his Spidey suit, I like how emotional he is. I like that he cries and yells at May when he’s upset, and gets into fights and comes home beaten up, and feels anger and pain and tries to repress it from everyone because that is such a teenage boy thing to do. But he also comes home, covered in bruises and beaten up with a box of eggs for May bc he didn’t forget even though he clearly went through some shit. I like that he shows up to meet Gwen’s parents with a bouquet of flowers for her mother. Even if those flowers are squished and he showed up at her bedroom like a weirdo because she didn’t even know he was Spider-Man at that point. I like that he gets into an argument at the dinner table with Gwen’s father over cops and their stance on Spider-Man and crime…acab Peter Parker. I like that he’s obsessed with Gwen in a way that only a first love can really be with those enamored heart eyes at the pretty girl sitting next to him in class. I like that she died and he lost the most important thing in the world to him. I like that he skateboards but not very well. I like that he purposely stands up for a little kid being bullied and then walks him home afterwards because he’s about defeating bullies no matter how big or small. And he cares about children and their safety. I like that he doesn’t attend George Stacy’s funeral, at a time when his girlfriend needs him the most in the world, he lets her down. I like that he spent the time to write a giant confession of love across the Brooklyn bridge for Gwen because he’s such a sappy romantic who adores his partners. He’s just so fucking human. Messy mistakes and all, he’s just a teenage boy trying to be a hero but not really knowing how and figuring it out along the way. A coming of age story.
Basically, Peter is a baby boy but also complex and very easy to write as either a fluffy adorable sweet angel or as a dark depressing closed off angry character. He’s also horny as hell. He’s a Spider-Man that fucks 😂 He really gives it all to us and as a writer you can chose any aspect of his personality to find a little niche with in the fandom. There will always be someone, somewhere, who loves whatever version of tasm Peter you decide to write. 🥰

I was thinking about the connection between magic and Simon’s climax (and how his own magic would have made that impossible for him) recently enough that I feel like bringing up another point in my “Baz-sexual Simon makes the most sense as in the ace spectrum” agenda...
For some people in the spectrum, regardless of whether they have a high or low libido, they don’t get pleasure from sex. It’s just exercise, so sex for the sake of sex is uninteresting or unappealing... But some still enjoy it for the emotional connection to their partner. Pleasuring them or feeling their enjoyment etc is what makes it feel good. I think Simon hangs around in the vicinity of this – Baz awakens his senses and desires, but focusing on pleasuring Baz (which goes along with Baz driving) takes it to next level. 
Simon’s line of thought shows he doesn’t get the appeal of sex for the sake of it more than once. He shows disinterest in general as early as that candle in the wind line in CO (also the way he can’t even think the word “sex” then triggers my spidey sense... If you can’t even think it, you’re perhaps not ready to have it – yet another reason to think his experience was negative). Before he has it with Baz, Simon shows he understands pleasure only by linking it to food. 
He experiences attraction to Baz and wants to do something about it. He has desire for Baz to a point that overwhelms him (he’s the most fuckable alive or otherwise). To me, his “I obviously want to have sex, you don’t even have to ask” is about wanting it with Baz, not wanting sex in general (he says “Baz is the only person I’ve ever wanted” in the context of thinking about sex – the act becomes attractive and appealing when Baz enters the equation). But this is all connected to Simon’s romantic feelings for him (he follows that thought with “he’s the only one I’ve ever loved like this). Baz looking seductive and “good enough to eat” is connected to Simon “following him around with his heart in his hand” or something like that. Simon feeling seduced by Baz makes him think about his heart. When Simon is feeling overwhelmed by his desire, he’s trying to be close to Baz.  
Eventually, Simon figures out the appeal of sex and intimacy (this is what people do, this is “what Baz and I will do”) as an expression of love, as a way to connect with Baz, as a way to get closer to Baz than ever before. In this vein, sex with them starts to “work” when Simon focuses on pleasuring Baz/Baz’s needs (when he makes it his mission). He expresses that being the specific person who can make him happy or make it better is thrilling – that would easily extent to enjoyment in being the one pleasuring him. Simon receiving this type of touch/attention from Baz is complicated enough that he doesn’t know what to feel – he wants to smash his head through a wall yet he warms him up, he’ll be the death of him yet getting a tailjob gets him flustered. I think part of it is Simon’s issues with not knowing how to receive love, his issues with self-esteem, not being touched in a way he can handle, etc. Now I wonder if another part of it is that he just doesn’t get that dopamine rush if he’s not experiencing Baz’s enjoyment or if he’s not basically intoxicating his senses with the man (I mean, he has a thing for Baz’s smell) (and his eyes, and his hair, and his face, and his body, and his... well, his everything. Just atrociously down bad)
