being a fan of a character is sometimes “look at how complex he is. he’s so intricate and his story is so tragic and he’s so much more complicated than people give him credit for” and sometimes it’s like “haha look at this failure of a person. I wanna throw him off a cliff and see what happens”

i cannot stop thinking about the scene where peter b turns around like he just realized miguel is genuinely insane it is so funny

like ohhhhh. okay. yeah he’s gonna maim that 15 year old.

i love when human characters fight in ways that are so so not human

big fan of characters bearing their teeth and digging their nails into things and biting and scratching and screaming. i think it's good for the ecosystem

Anyways I’m listening to debut and “you cry, but you don’t tell anyone that you might not be the golden one” and “I’ve never been a natural, all I do is try, try, try” and “told me all of my cages were mental, so I got wasted like all my potential” and “all the young things line up to take your place / another name is up in lights, you wonder if you’ll make it out alive” and “but the rain is always gonna come if you’re standing with me” and “I’m like a monster on the hill, slowly lurching towards your favorite city, pierced through the heart but never killed” she writes a lot about a deep seated feeling of inadequacy that I feel like is very much overlooked

the circumstances that allow the Spiderverse to thrive are so fascinating- multiverses in the MCU are kind of flopping because there aren't enough *widely* recognized versions of a character to serve as exigence for one, but peter parker has quite possibly the most well-established and rigid yet versatile storylines ever created- his canon was already so fluid, and is exponentially so as we keep telling his story

spiderman and cops. okay. intrinsically tied since the beginning. hobie mother FUCKIN brown the anarchist. gwen's dad pointing the gun at her. being the threat— not fully letting go of the goddamn gun even after she took off the mask. he, in the end, recognizing he cannot be good to her and be a cop at the same time, choosing gwen, and her, in the argument, saying "you're a good cop", saying she understands why he can't be her father instead, saying that being a good cop is not a good thing at all. he gives up his badge and saves himself by it. the narrative saves him and saves gwen too.

miguel and the centralized spider government. okay. how the scale of it and the organization around a single person take the spider people from the heroes of their own worlds to the threat in miles'. lost in the utilitarianism. and HOBIE MOTHER FUCKIN BROWN! THE ANARCHIST! not letting miguel unilaterally decide what the greater good looks like, deciding not to act in its name, deciding to act on his own perception of goodness. every spider person in the facility is indeed a spider person, but only hobie and miles act like Spider-Man. when worse comes to worse.

friendly neighborhood spiderman. spiderman as somebody supposed to exist in the small scale, in community, defiant of the complex social structures of the world. your friend. your hero. thread the needle. defy canon. listen to your gut. be there for those who matter to you. and try and try and try and try against everything against all odds because you're SPIDER-MAN YOU'RE SPIDER-MAN it's YOU and you can DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT

barbie: i just feel so out of sorts….like i’m thinking about death and the nature of my being and i feel like everything around me is suddenly changing and my usual hobbies aren’t exciting me anymore?? and all the parties and games and music aren’t distracting me like they used to :/// maybe something’s the matter with me but the only way to find out for sure might be to venture outside of the only world i’ve ever known and i have no idea what’s waiting for me out there. is leaving safety and comfort and parties worth facing the full truth of my existence and the world?

ken: idk babe but it sounds like a fun adventure to me!! i brought my rollerblades!! omfg i LOVE the indigo girls. do you think i’ll get to do an appendectomy?? THIS IS SO FUN-

ken getting arrested alongside barbie after she punches the guy who smacks her ass presents so many possibilities

  1. ken saw barbie punch the douchebag and was like “LET’S MAKE THIS A PARTY” and joined in on the smackdown
  2. alternatively, the guy’s friends tried to jump in and ken wasn’t having ANY of that
  3. ken saw barbie getting shoved into a big car with bright lights on the top and was like “OH BOY! can i come too?? 😊😊” and just kind of tagged along
  4. alternatively, he realized what was going on and was like “EXCUSE ME OFFICER i too have committed A Crime so please show me to The Jail with my beautiful girlfriend” so they wouldn’t be separated
  5. ken got in trouble for trying to help barbie escape but in his defense no one TOLD him resisting arrest is a crime because no one told him what being arrested or crime is
  6. ken didn’t know who these men showing up to take his girlfriend away were, but he could see she was very upset and excuse?? you cannot take barbie away from ken without her permission??? so long story short, ken punched a cop
  7. ken fully burned something down earlier and the cops were like “two birds one stone” when they came to get barbie

what was jaime in that chapter in the riverrun dungeons on what was he ON. cunt was being served left right and centre. jokes about killing kids, condemnation of knightly oaths, flirting w the milf whose kid you tried to kill whilst you're starved and sitting next to a bucket of your shit, ned gay allegations, adding to the dagger mystery...what crack had he snorted beforehand
