hate that the cultural backslide has been so intense that now my dad earnestly tells me "did you know we're not allowed to call them easter eggs anymore they're renaming them gesture eggs" and I have to smile sympathetically at him and ask "did they say that on bbc news or did the mean, nasty internet try to scare you by telling you woke was stealing easter?"

"the secret to writing the perfect romance is to make them unable to live without the other person"
"the secret to writing the perfect romance is to make one fall first and the other fall harder"
wrong. the secret to writing the perfect romance is to establish them as individual characters first, with their own personal aspirations and fears, before introducing them to eachother so the characters can fall for characters that were actually written to be characters instead of shallowly written to play a part in a romance story.

i actually didnt think it could get worse but touya's reveal being the thing that brought the todorokis together and finally made them ally themselves with endeavour regardless of all the trauma he caused them and how impossible they've found it to even hang out together as a family for the entire decade touya has been gone. THAT being what binds them. they might as well have spat in the face of touya's memory. it's not even an acknowledgement that dabi must be stopped it's just like they never even loved him. endeavour is giving him more sympathy than them. 'you will have to fight dabi one day' et tu rei?

I keep on seeing these edits of Steve Harrington with that song, idk it's name but is like 'I just meet my dad in 1985' or smth like that and now I lowkey want a fic where this dude's kid somehow time travels and actually meets his dad in 1985. At this point I don't even care about the ship, I just want some random kid to show up one day, look at Steve and be like 'Fuck. Dad???'
Just imagine the comedy. But also the drama if it's either Nancy's kid or if Eddie's their other father- cuz I think by 1985 Nancy and Steve broke up already??? And she's dating Jonathan??? Gold. And they didn't even got to interact with Eddie yet so everyone is gonna be like 'Eddie??? The Munson kid???'

I have lots of thoughts about the canon events in Across the Spiderverse, and I thought I’d share some that I talked vaguely about with my sister when we were coming back from watching the movie.
Firstly, I don’t think they’re going to kill off Miles’ dad. I think that the story’s really pointing in the direction of Miles being proven right. It’s all about how the other Spiderpeople not believing in another way to be a Spiderperson — even though their whole thing is being different types of Spiderpeople, but I digress — and having Miles prove them wrong. It’s about the Spiderpeople learning from Miles, like how Peter B. Parker learns from him in Into the Spiderverse, like how Spider-Byte (Margo) lets Miles go home in this movie.
Across the Spiderverse also talks a lot about Miles defining his own story, his story as a Spiderperson that was never meant to be there, his story as a student, as a child of his parents. I think it would just make way more sense for part of his defining of his own story and people learning from him would be for him to be able to find away to avert some canon events.
Secondly, I think that the canon events and the attitude surrounding it from the other Spiderpeople is reminiscent of the idea that trauma happens “for a reason.” That it makes one grow into the person they are today, and sure, trauma affects people. Trauma might make someone nicer or able to empathise with people going through similar things as they are — as seen in the scene where the members of the Spider Gang comfort Miles about Uncle Aaron’s death in the first movie — but this doesn’t mean it’s good that they’ve all watched people they care about die, and doesn’t mean that it’s the only thing that made them a good Spiderperson.
Bringing it back to the first point, I think that Beyond the Spiderverse is going to be about how, yeah, bad things happen, bad things beyond one’s control happen, but this doesn’t mean that bad things have to happen, and it doesn’t mean it happened for a reason.
