Are you interested in any oyher Spiderman characters? (Homecoming and/or not?)
oh hello!! honestly, i really loved all the characters in spiderman: homecoming. and i’m gonna be so extra right now and like…give mini headcanons for all my babes. so i’m sorry in advance. but like…
we have our decathlon team babies
so like…liz is totally the mama bear. she’s the only senior on the team because she was one of the founding members her junior year and her friends were all too busy focusing on their other extracurriculars and college apps so it was just a bunch of little freshman she’d managed to convince to join the team
and liz did so much research and trained the team and asked her cousin who won a decathlon competition when he was in high school what was helpful for their team
so she takes over and gets mr. harrington to work with the team and she shapes the team into one that could win
and they’re all her babies like let’s be honest
charles and abraham are the twins that are attached at the hip but never stop fighting. they’re the dynamic duo and what abraham doesn’t know, charles does. they’re best friends and they hang out all the time and they obsess over star trek and have a secret rivalry going on with ned and peter because they are the star wars kids. and they’re sworn to hate each other until the end of time. (but also charles and abraham will freak out when the trailer for the last jedi gets released and immediately text the group chat nerds in space to ask peter and ned what they thought.) and abraham has to smack charles on the head when the boy catches his friend staring at sally for too long and charles just mumbles something about how she had something on her shirt and it’s fine.
and then you have sally and cindy. who are just like…so done with the team half the time. like, you’ve got peter, ned, charles, and abraham who just spend all their time obsessing over space themed movies. and flash just constantly berates everyone. michelle is lowkey kinda scary. (they are also lowkey in love with her but shhh.) and liz is like…well, liz is their mom so they love liz. but even mr. harrington is a mess. but sally and cindy make the best of it because they love each other and they love decathlon and they watch a week’s worth of jeopardy together every sunday and they quiz each other in cindy’s mom’s car on the way to school. and they talk about sally’s small, minuscule crush on charles (”really, sally? charles??? he’s a nerd!!” “you think i don’t know that and am also disappointed in myself!!” “oh my goodness but you guys would be so cute who am i kidding”) and they talk about cindy’s very large crush on betty brant (”cindy, she totally checked you out just now!!” “wHAT? omg, how is my hair??”). and they talk about which classes they’re taking so they can be in most of the same classes and they talk about college and their hearts lowkey break when they think about how cindy wants to stay in new york and sally wants to go to the west coast but they’ll be bffs forever so they have hope. (”we have skype, it’ll be okay, yeah?”)
and then you have flash. and flash has got so much shit going on like wtf dude. his parents are super wealthy and try to support him and try to be there but they’re always traveling for work and he’s basically been raised by his nanny. so it’s his nanny who pesters him about this massive crush he has on someone on the decathlon team because each day she picks him up from decathlon practice he’s always raging and sighing and looking sad. and flash just vehemently denies this. because that’s ridiculous, please don’t suggest something like that. but she knows him so well. she’s raised him. she just doesn’t realize that it’s fucking peter parker. peter parker who he terrorizes because he doesn’t want to deal with how he’s feeling. peter parker who has a great ass that he couldn’t help but slap that one time before nationals on the way to the pool. peter parker, who’s a dork and definitely not worthy of flash’s attention but has it anyway. so, maybe he’s not dealing healthily. but he’s got a silent war raging in his head and he doesn’t want to have to tell his parents that he’s bi because once his dad had made an offhand comment and it decided things for him. so flash just…rages and hides behind his wealth and intelligence and snaky comments. because he doesn’t wanna deal with anything
and omg i’ve talked about peter and mj and even ned a bit so i won’t write about them here but i love my babies so much okay???
we also have our peter parker protection squad
may parker, the loml. who’s characterization i can never get bc we have civil war may and then also homecoming may. but may parker who is a hero in her own right because we all know about that scene where she saves a little girl and doesn’t mention it that got cut from the movie. (rip me, honestly.) and like…can we talk about may?? because she seems like such a groovy, fun loving person. and she was married to her husband ben. they were totally wild in college or something. just…always doing crazy shit and laughing and having sex and just enjoying being with each other. and then they get married and get jobs and live together, being happy little hippies. (maybe they partake in some substances, idk, you never know.) and then her husband’s brother and wife die and they’re taking in peter parker. and may falls in love with this little boy because he’s so…good. and she and ben raise him as their own and try to give him an exciting and happy childhood and encourage his interests in science and his friendship with ned. and then he tells them he’s joining the decathlon team and there’s a field trip and he’s so excited about life. and then he acts all dodgy and then ben dies. and like…may is heartbroken. because ben was her person. and peter’s stopped talking to her. but then he gets the stark internship (which he didn’t tell her about, so rude) and then he’s happy and if he’s happy then she’s happy because she takes every good thing she can these days because they are so far and few between. so she takes every little piece of happiness she can find in life. like talking to mr. delmar and chatting with his daughter she’s she in the shop. like the woman who sells flowers on the corner on her way to work. like the cute couple that works at the supermarket by the apartment who give her recipes like ones for walnut date bread. and even like tony stark, who for whatever reason has become peter’s mentor of sorts and who makes him happy. and if someone makes her nephew happy, they make her happy
and dad!tony. who gives his spider son anything he wants and invites him upstate every so often so he can train with the avengers and learn to control his powers. because even if he isn’t going to be an avenger, he’s still going to be your friendly neighborhood spiderman. and he throws peter parker a birthday party in the summer at a fancy restaurant he’s bought out for the night. and all of peter’s little high school friends come and tony’s happy to give this to peter because the kid just needs to be a kid and needs to be happy. and don’t think tony doesn’t notice the way peter’s eyes follow that girl michelle all night. the girl who’s also asking him all these questions about the sokovia accords and his decision to move upstate and how he almost let a bunch of avenger and alien tech get stolen and about wakanda and if he’s ever been. and tony just wishes peter good luck at the end of the night and smiles because the boy is so confused. (if peter doesn’t realize it yet, oh goodness, good luck to this boy, honestly.) and tony pulls some strings to make sure that peter gets into mit and then finds out that he didn’t even need to because peter’s already a great candidate. and when he helps peter move into his dorm and sees michelle there, who just so happens to go to harvard down the block, well, peter just smiles and wishes peter good luck again
happy hogan disappointed me and doesn’t get to have a whole paragraph. but he can REDEEM HIMSELF later on because peter is a smol bean and needs protection and happy starts answering his calls and listening to his voicemails. and maybe happy laughs occasionally at the lame jokes peter makes, but that’s bESIDE THE POINT
and then just like...our small mentions
aaron davis exists in mcu and mentioned his nephew MILES MORALES. like, dude, idek what they’re gonna do with miles morales but i am soooo hype. idek. i am just so excited. bc donald glover was inspired as aaron davis. (“i like bread!) he was such a cool character and i wanna know if he becomes the prowler. and i wanna see him with his family and talking to his little nephew about how he met spiderman twice and he was like…a chill dude and he’s doing his part to keep their home safe. and miles morales is probably like…the biggest fan of spiderman and dresses up as him for halloween and then one day he gets bitten by this crazy huge spider while visiting his favorite uncle aaron and he starts developing superpowers? like omg this is his greatest dream come true? and then he starts going out in hopes of finding spiderman so he can team up with the dude that once saved his uncle. and then one day he’s trying to stop a mugging and spiderman comes and is just like…”what??” so they stop the muggers and then they go to a rooftop and spiderman is super confused like, “what? you have my powers?? how did this happen?” and miles is just like, “omg! you’re the spiderman! you’re my hero! omg! hi, i just want to help!!” and then maybe we get an older and younger brother dynamic between the two? idk i’m just excited to see what happens because they have to put miles morales in mcu. it’s decided
also i don’t think she’s gonna be in mcu but i love my baby gwen stacy. my smart beautiful dorky bean gwen. and i love when she’s put into fics. and she was put into this fic as liz allan’s love interest and it was inspired and i fell in love. so. yes. #putgweninfic2k17
not sure if this is what you were asking for but here it is anyway!

I thought that the last four countries in this first leg could be written all in one post, scrap that! Why?! Nicaragua…I have too many thoughts to put down on written words. After leaving Guatemala, I was rather on a high because of all the familiarities to Malaysia and it’s almost reminded me of my childhood playing and venturing into forests for the sake of adventure (shhh…mom’s the word cos mother doesn’t know about it) 😉
I travelled from Antigua to El Tunco in El Salvador. I was, at first, excited with the surf lessons and to give it a try but after the tiring 16 hours ride to Antigua, my shoulder was screaming at me not to do anything (or else, one of those feeling that I learnt not to ignore) especially when the waves looked relentless. After chatting with a fellow traveller, Cait, and hearing conversation around the table at the hostel I know it wasn’t going to happen. I made the right decision give it a pass, when both Veronica and Alicia agreed and showed me their battle wounds with the waves 😀 brutal!
I’m not a water person, as I mentioned before, so I was happy to just enjoy the sight for now and chill while contemplating the crossing of two borders the next day into Nicaragua. I was supposed to go to San Salvador, stay a night and travel on the TicaBus (like UK’s National Express) to León but something kept nagging at me that this is not as simple plus all the chatters about Nicaragua were making me nervous.
I contacted the guys from Roneey Shuttle, who did a great job shuttling us from Antigua to El Tunco and ask for a quote. Done and done! They have a trip directly to León from where I am and the hostel was able to accommodate me for an extra night. Better be safe than sorry I’d say. It was a long trip but a pleasant one since the guys, Ronald and Julio, do this all the time and knew exactly what’s expected. So, it’s El Salvador into Honduras then to Nicaragua. The couple on the trip with me were crossing four borders for the day and I thought I was overdoing it.
Arrived at León around midnight and the owner (Cadi) of Bigfoot Hostel, where I was staying, came out to greet a bunch of us (yep, we picked up extra people in Honduras) and went through everything we need to know as quickly as possible. He probably realised that it was late and we looked a bit like zombies to him. I opted to do the volcano boarding the next day so that I could enjoy the rest of my time relaxing and just in case, nurse the shoulder if need be.
It was one of the most exciting activities that I’ve ever done. The walk up was intimidating at first but once we got started, it was great and there were view after view of the surroundings. Let’s remember that this is an active volcano and probably due for an eruption some time soon, even then we were spared from the smell of sulphur since the wind was in our favour. The way down was what everyone was eagerly anticipating. Our guide, Oskar, gave us the instructions and off we go! We had Oskar waiting midway (he ran down that slope…crazy bugger) to take our photos and the driver at the bottom clocking our speed. Mine was an unimpressive 33km/h but it felt so much faster than that. I can see it everyone’s eyes that they would like to do it all over again, that’s how fun it was and we’d probably clock a faster speed second time round.
I was glad to stay a couple more days to chill and check out the town to see what the fuss was all about. Cadi painted the picture of how the area was when the protest broke out in violence, Cindy (a beautiful young lady working at the hostel) how it was at her village and Marcos, owner of Get Up Stand Up Surf merchandise company across the street, describe the mood at that time. All were shocked by what happened and were now hoping that situation is going in the right direction, urging people to come back and visit Nicaragua. It’s great to know that there are people like Cadi and Marcos investing in the people and community with the focus on growth and providing opportunities rather than just profit. Respect!
Marcos from Get Up Stand Up Surf
Exploring the town, including its busy market felt like nothing happened except for the lack of foreigner or tourist in a town that was one swimming with them. León stole my heart because of its people and their hope, willing for things to get better for the sake of its community. Everywhere I went, there were people greeting me along the way ‘buenas‘ and their eyes were saying, thank you for coming. León would definitely be one of the places that I would like to come back again.
On the way to Granada, Managua looks peaceful and commotion free. Both cities seemed vastly different from León, extremely quiet and life is yet to seep back in. The owner of the hostel was very nice, gave me a private room as well as a tour of the city and recommended the local food to try in the town square, vigorón. Walking from the hostel to the lakeside, the place felt like a ghost town and there were police officers patrolling, doing random stop and questioning on locals on the street. As a foreigner and visitor, it does feel a little weird yet surprisingly safe.
I do hope that Nicaragua will get back on its feet and flourish. For travellers out there, do your research thoroughly and if possible, get in touch with people on the ground and ask what’s the situation out there before avoiding the country altogether. We can help by just being there, the people appreciate it 🙂
