Comic I drew that twitter and tiktok seemed to really like so why not here :)
woke up today and realized that tumblr entirely killed fuck ya life bing bong so here ya go again
Caught on camera for the first time in history, this is the extremely-rare Chirodectes Maculatus—a species of spotted box jelly.
something i thought was soooo cool about across the spiderverse was that spot had construction lines as part of his design, he looked rough and sketchy and i thought it showed he wasn’t quite tethered to reality. but then when miguel was properly introduced he also had veryyy faint construction lines around his face and it showed that he’s also struggling with morality + that he’s sort of a “bad” guy.
so I was going through atsv frame by frame (as you do) and I love the onomatopoeia in this (approximately 2-second-long) scene where gwen and hobie are trying to stop this building from collapsing:
first of all gwen's web snapping has the snap onomatopoeia in her pink white & blue and hobie's snap is in his collage style which is awesome attention for detail for something that is onscreen for a culmination of 4 frames tops
then we get this great 4-way splitscreen of the big ol' oh-shit eyes, but keep an eye on the lines dividing it cause one of them is gonna turn into---
---the last web holding up the building, which of course---
---snaps.
(also, the S is in pavitr's vibrant sketchy style, the N is gwen's watercolour, A is miles' comic book style, and P is hobie's collage)
(I love this movie)
One of my absolutely favourite things about Across the Spiderverse, other than the amazing sound and visuals, is the small little metaphorical forshadowing we get.
My person favourite is the cakes. When Jefferson and Rio are talking to Miles's teacher, she tells them that Miles "wants to have his cake and eat it too" which is impossible and Miles bursts in and says "unless you have two cakes." And it's such a subtle way to hint that Miles has conflicting intreasts, and that's his biggest issue. He wants to be Spider-man, but he doesn't want to sacrifice the people he cares about. And in case you think I'm grasping at straws here, they do more with the cake when Miles literally decides to buy two cakes for his dad because he cannot fit the writing on one, but by the time he gets home after doing all his Spider-manning both cakes are destoryed. It's forshadowing not only to the fact that Miles desperately wants both things equally, but by trying to have both of them, he's going to cause detrimental damage.
The idea of having things in double is a general reoccurring theme in ATPV. We see it with the cakes, and we see it when Miles and Pav talk about Chai-tea, and Miles tells the spot not to call it an "ATM Machine" because M means Machine. The constant reference to the unnecessary repetition is almost representing the duality of being Spider-man and how taking on that role means making sacrifices and potentially harming your normal life, but it's also forshadowing to the fact that in the end, we have two Miles's. We have Spider-man Miles and Prowler Miles.
Things in this movie come in doubles and I absolutely fucking love it 😭
there was absolutely no in-universe necessity for Lego Peter to change into his Spiderman costume in this scene, like the man went into a bathroom cubicle to contact Miguel, no one was gonna know his identity. the movie even labelled him as Peter Parker when we first saw him so we knew who he was
so the only in-universe reason is that Lego Peter takes his Spider-ing job very seriously and putting on the Spiderman costume is like putting on a suit and tie for his wrist watch beep boop zoom meeting with Miguel
#LetSpiderNoirShootSomeone2023
please it would be so funny. All these spiders that are like against extreme violence and spider noir who has canonically killed
Miguel: well at least you're sensible
Noir, barely eighteen, been broken out of prison, has killed a man and will do it again, just bit someone, building a bomb: sure. Sensible.
This just in: local reporter more famous for looking like celebrity friend than any of his stories from last decade
okay so i just saw someone point out the scene where miles is introduced to hobie for the first time and i'm honestly bewildered that i haven't seen anyone mention this
but can we talk about the fact that the colors in the bg are literally just the bi flag
Haters be like
“It’s totally possible to make a path that goes through every door exactly once”
Idk if I did it right
sorry!
it’s true you can’t draw one continuous line that would do the trick. but if the kitty and bunny set out by going through the doors they’re marked beside and each walked the certain way their colored arrows show at the same time their “collective path” as a team would go through each door only once. The moral of the story is actually about friendship , and cooperation, because in this world there are tasks you can’t do on your own.
im just fucking with you i’m pretty sure this has no right answer
i concocted a solution with a 100% mortality rate
Stop being so incredibly funny on my impossible puzzle post
You can switch the tracks so the trolley will kill one person, or you can allow it to attempt the fruitless crusade of running over each person in the maze only once.
all in a days work! *passes out*

What I love about tumblr is when we see a logic problem meant to be frustrating and/or unsolvable, we almost reflexively try to destroy it.
This website’s userbase is a chimp chewing through a Chinese finger trap
I love that Pavitr literally backflips outta bed
Meanwhile Hobie hates mornings and is like 'if you getting robbed before noon that's between you and god homie DO NOT call me'
