a study i did because i realized idk how to draw environments at all LMAO
Thought this was a picture for a good bit
It'd be an even bigger shame if they were to pretend to move but bail so even more pressure is on your boob
the theme of miles always being terrified, but doing things anyway is so beautiful. even when he’s being followed by thousands of spidersonas, holding his own, hashing a plan that may just work—finally understanding truly how much he can do—he is terrified to let go of that glass.
in both films he jumps. but the glass breaks and shatters. first time because his hands wouldn’t let go. now, because even as he pushes off, his feet want to stick. but he jumps. and he escapes. and his plan works. and he tells his mother, what could i possibly be afraid of now? and tied up, seeing a version of himself he never thought existed, miles—who was never supposed to be spider-man—takes hold of the situation and is not afraid.
because his name is Miles Morales. He was bitten by a radioactive spider meant for someone else, and he has never truly been the only spider-man. but anyone can wear the mask. and maybe next time the glass won’t break.
Omg omg omg I think I love u now

OMGGG I just realized something
SPIDER MAN ACROSS THE SPIDERVERSE SPOILERS!!!!!
So when there is a major Canon event happening in Pavitrs world, and he sees captain Singh about to die and he's also holding the bus full of people. He says " I can do both." Now we know that he couldn't because all spidermen have something like that happen. The only reason Singh didn't die was because miles saved him. Now later on when we find out Miles is gonna have to let his dad die or risk his whole world. He himself says "but I can do both spiderman does both" Miguel reply with not always. PAVITR WANTES TK DO BOTH he though he could do both. Miles disrupted a major Canon event because it was the right thing to do. When he has to choose between his dad and something else he's gonna do his own thing. I mean he already stated that fuck what everyone else is saying. He's not gonna have his life already chatted out for him and he's gonna do it his way.
Idk if anyone already did this or if this is just rlly obvious but I just rembwred jt
Fuck Miguel because HES actually the first anomaly. He abused his power/ability to travel between universes to take the place of someone else. Had he not done that, that universe and everything in it would still be around. But Miles? Miles ACCIDENTALLY got bit by spider that wasn't where it was supposed to be. How tf was he supposed to know that?
What the fuck am I supposed to do with myself now. Just walked out of the cinema watching spider verse and I'm just supposed to go home??? Continue living as a normal person knowing what I now know??? I am exploding right now.
I got this comment on a story from my Other AO3 Account this morning.
(Info redacted because I prefer keeping these accounts separate but no one follows me on the side blog I have for that account.)
The story was posted almost a year ago and is relatively “popular” by my average statistics even though it has tropes and themes that are big turnoffs for a lot of people (hence separate accounts). This popularity is undoubtedly because it’s a Marvel Loki story and that fandom is massive.
So there is obviously an algorithm or a bot scrubbing ao3 statistics and leaving this comment on fics that meet a certain metric with the main character of the fic inserted into the comment.
I had a little time to kill this morning so I decided to investigate further. And y’all this is so predatory. Come on this journey with me. It made me mad. It may make you mad.
First, if you go to Webnovel’s website, you HAVE to choose between male lead or female lead stories before you can go any further. WTF?
And that’s weird, but this gets so much worse. This is basically a pay-to-read site that has different subscription models. Which… okay BUT! The authors don’t get paid! Look at that comment again. They’re promising a supportive and nurturing community, but zero monetary compensation. It’s basically, “post your stuff here so we can get paid and you can get… nice vibes?” I mean look at this Orwellian writing:
Using the phrase “pay-to-read model” in the same sentence as “qualitative changes in lifestyles for authors” deliberately makes you think that you can get paid and maybe even make a living on this website. But that’s not actually what it says and authors will not receive one red cent.
Oh but wait, the worst is still to come. In case this breaks containment (which I kind of hope it does) this is where I mention that I’m a lawyer in the US.
I don’t do intellectual property or copyright law but I do read and write contracts for a living. So I went to look at their terms of service. It was fun!
Highlights the first, in which Webnovel gets a license to do basically whatever they want with content you post on their site. This is how they get to be paid for people reading authors’ writing without paying them anything.
Highlights the second, in which Webnovel takes no responsibility for illegally profiting off of fan fic. This all says that the writer is 100% responsible for everything the writer posts (even though only Webnovel is making money from it).
Highlights the third which say that by posting, the author is representing that they have the legal right to use and to let Webnovel use the content according to these terms. So if a writer posts fan fiction and Webnovel makes money from people reading the fan fiction, and the House of the Mouse catches wise, these sections say that that’s ALL on the writer.
So that’s a little skeevy to start off with but the thing that is seriously shitty and made me make this post was that these assholes are coming to ao3. They are actively recruiting people in comments on their fan fiction. And they are saying they are big fans of the character you’re writing about and that they share your interests.
They are recruiting fan fiction writers and giving every impression that you can make money from posting fan fiction on their site and hiding the fact that you absolutely cannot but they can make money off of you while you try, deep in their terms of service which no one but a lawyer who writes fan fic and has some time to kill will read.
I see posts on here regularly from people who don’t understand how this stuff works, don’t understand that they (and others) can not legally make a financial profit from fan fiction. And there are tons of people who will not take the time to dig into the details.
Don’t deal with these bastards. Fuck Webnovel.

Anonymous asked:
could we get a crier’s war proposal fic? I honestly loved the way you wrote both of them in your last CW fic and we def need more of them ^^
Marry me?
A/N: Awh yay! I love to see a request for Crayla, I love them so much and really enjoy writing for them. Thanks so much for the request and kind words, anon <3
CW: None that I can think of!

Crier's hand shakes as she feels the small box in her dress pocket. She'd had the ring for months, had it made by a jeweler especially for Ayla. It's a band, as Crier assumed Ayla wouldn't want a ring with a stone that sticks out. She'd snag it on something, she'd break it while sparring, or she'd lose it. And besides, Crier figured that regardless of all of that, the band would fit Ayla's tastes more.
It's gold, complimenting Ayla's brown skin perfectly. Small rubies are lain within the band, wrapping around the entirety of it. On the inside of the band, Crier had the jeweler engrave 'A + C.' She wondered if that had been overkill, but she was cheesy, and she wanted this, this proposal, and hopefully, eventual wedding, to be as representative of their love as possible.
Canon Sapphic Characters Tournament Final Round
Things the fandom often forgets about Jason Grace:
- His mother abandoned him at 2 and he survived training with the wolf goddess Lupa at 3
- He isn't some dumbass bro himbo like a lot of people think, he's actually really smart and knows a lot of things
- He wears glasses and loses them a lot
- He's one of the kindest demigods in both camps
- He defeated the titan Krios with his bare f*cking hands
- AND he killed the trojan sea monster
- He isn't the "roman percy", and he's not some knockoff protagonist
- He isn't trying to replace or compete with Percy
- Percy and Jason actually hardly know each other and there really isn't much of a bromance there like people think
- He toppled the black throne of Kronos and earned his position as praetor
- He was literally praetor
- Which led to him hardening a bit and put a lot of pressure on him to be a perfect leader
- He once jumped into the grand canyon to save a girl he really didn't know that well, with no regard to the fact that he would literally die
- HE LITERALLY DIDNT KNOW HE COULD FLY
- He isn't boring, it's just that when we meet him in TLH we literally don't know him (and he doesn't either lmfao), we don't have the history and bond we do with Percy
- He has a big smile and deep laugh
- Jason didn't replace Percy at CHB, people were actually apprehensive of him whereas CJ pretty much DID replace Jason with Percy (treating him as a powerful leader and electing him praetor)
- He was literally a child soldier and probably has a lot of issues because of this
- He used to squint a lot before he got his glasses
- People probably thought he was glaring or judging them, but in actuality he just couldn't f*cking SEE
- He's actually a big softie and gives such golden retriever vibes
- Canonically handsome
- People think he's too perfect but that's because he had to be. He had so much pressure on him to be perfect all the time
- He has a calm and steady voice, and even when he's yelling/speaking intensely, it's still steady and strong
TLDR; Jason is literally my fav and Jason hate will not be tolerated here thank you 🫶
