Gabi and papi

An AU of sorts where she inherits Miguel’s spider traits

She’s too young to control her murder mittens, they come out when she’s upset or overly excited by something, so in public Miguel puts mittens on them :)

forever losing my mind over this...

miguel for the longest time keeps such a separation between himself and spiderman - in his mind, as miguel, he's the corporate stooge who's hated by his colleagues, hated by his mother, is unlovable, has destroyed his relationships with his brother and his best friend, is selfish and has let down everyone around him, he's a reflection of the worst people he knows...but he sheds all that as spiderman, spiderman can fight alchemax, spiderman can help people, is admired, is liked, is loved, is the opposite of tyler and george and everything they represent

part of miguel's healing and growth is realising that miguel o'hara and spiderman are the same person, he as miguel has all the positive qualities of spiderman because there is no separation: miguel is doing good things, miguel is saving people, being a hero, fighting the oppressive system he's been a part of - there is no spiderman 2099 without miguel o'hara

but this here, near the start of his journey, hearing his mother saying that spiderman is everything he is not just reinforces the idea in his mind that miguel o'hara is the bad to spiderman's good, that the man in the costume is like an entirely separate man to himself, because spiderman is someone his mother admires while his mother hates miguel o'hara - this is the woman who raised him, who would surely know him best, and she can't fathom that he is spiderman, she thinks it's laughable

is the world really such a terrible place? yesterday i asked if oat milk was extra and the barista said yes so i said ok just regular milk then and when she gave me my chai latte she whispered “i used oat milk ;)” doesnt that make u want to live another day?

here is my life philosophy: next week there might be someone ahead of you in line at the store who’s short a quarter and you have a quarter and you can give it to them. if you weren’t there, they’d have to put something back. the week after that you could be getting lunch and the waiter might ask if you want some pancakes someone else ordered and never picked up. you could find someone’s lost cat. you could watch someone’s bag while they go to the restroom. there are so many ways you are going to touch other people’s lives and they are going to touch yours and there’s no way to know when it’s going to happen. so you have to keep living!!! i wouldn’t want to die knowing that tomorrow the barista will give me free oat milk just to be nice. 

When I was 11 years old - we went to Sea World for my birthday. This was to avoid the realization I had no friends, and no one to come to a birthday party and probably because someone gave my mother free tickets at work. It was kinda a shitty day despite being at a theme park full of cute animals. There was a new roller coaster there that had just opened so we decided to go on. I was nervous. I’d never been on a roller coaster.

A group of 6 college kids were ahead of us in line and started chatting with me. Full on just having a fun conversation with someone literally going through the beginning of a very awkward middle school period. I was so shocked they wanted to talk to me. I think my mom mentioned it was my birthday. They were very nice about it. When we got on the ride they told us to go ahead of them so we could sit at the front of the car since it held 8 people.

Now the ride (called Journey to Atlantis - I believe it is sadly no longer there) started with a slow ride of beautiful visuals of dolphins and oceans and computerized images of this imaginary Atlantis before going up the hill to the beginning of the coaster, where it paused for about 30 seconds, and then the ride started. The college kids must have known there would be a pause. Maybe they’d ridden it before I’m not sure.

But as we sat there on that peak, 6 people I’ve never known, and will never know again, sang a very very lonely 11 year old happy birthday. Loudly. And with gusto. They were happy and laughing and joyful. And it made me feel less alone in the world.

I am 29 years old this year, and I still remember them. I still remember that kindness. It is so important. It doesn’t go into a vacuum. It exists beside me in my daily life. And I love the idea that I have been that person to someone else too.

It’s stunningly lovely to be human when we’re kind to each other.
