How are y'all so fucking quick with it
miles is taller than 42-miles because of his spider bite. This is like when your younger brother have a grow spurt and now are slightly taller than you.
Am I dreaming?! Is this real life?!!!! Did..did we finally get a win!
Rio’s request for Miles, before everything went way, way off the rails, was to take care of her little boy when no one else would - treat him kindly and remind him that he belongs
How literally do you think Miles is going to take that
Miles (1610): I just want you to know, if nobody else told you today… I love you
Miles (42): No
Miles (1610): I appreciate you and how talented you are at punching things
Miles (42): No shut up
Miles (1610): And even though you’re not a spidey and were prevented from your fate of becoming a spidey due to circumstances outside of your control in a cosmic mistake that only made your life worse, I want you to know… you belong
Miles (42): Shut up shut up shut up I hate you
The circle is complete:
1898: Morgan Robertson's novella "The Wreck of the Titan" is published.
1912: RMS Titanic hits an iceberg and sinks, in an event that almost beat-for-beat follows the plot of Robertson's novella.
2023: Oceangate's experimental submersible The Titan undergoes explosive decompression while retracing the descent of the Titanic.
NOW STOP NAMING THINGS THAT
reminder to worldbuilders: don't get caught up in things that aren't important to the story you're writing, like plot and characters! instead, try to focus on what readers actually care about: detailed plate tectonics
ngl a thing that I love about hobie and how he's represented is how KIND and NICE he is with miles above anything, he truly embrace the meaning of being a punk beyond aesthetics, and that's fucking lovely, a thing I always had in my mind about being punk is that being punk is being gentle with the ones at our side, because the establishment is already putting ours against each other. So yeah, spiderpunk rules, and rules with supporting his owns.
Listen my basic human empathy does feel genuine horror for those people who most likely died in that submarine.
But my working logical brain is also scoffing at anyone stupid enough to spend 250k to get into a heavy metal coffin, sinking to see the ocean floor graveyard that is the titanic.
Like just watch the movie, man. Spend 250k to go to Venice or some shit.
Why the titanic? We all know what it looks like. We all saw the movie.
"People don't deserve to die in such horrifying ways" and "You voluntarily got into a jerry rigged unregulated submersible to go to an incredible hostile place you shouldn't be going to anyway what were you expecting" are statements that can coexist
One of my favourite small details in Across the Spider-Verse was that Hobie created his own version of the universe-hopping watch — showing us that, just like every other Spider, he’s a Confirmed Nerd.
