Theo Decker as spiderman fighting his enemies in New York and he accidentally breaks some shitty restaurant front chair during the combat but after the scene is all cleared he takes the chair back to Hobie so he can fix it
Does anyone recall what Hobie worked as when he met Welty? I remember that he worked for his dad to repay his student loans… But what exactly was the profession? I’d also just in general appreciate any details on Hobie and Weltys first meeting. Does someone by any chance might even know which chapter Hobie tells Theo all this?? Thanks ❤️❤️❤️

😁
.hobie never likes to talk about his canon event, only Miguel and Gwen know about it, and he will literally kill anyone who tries to bring it up.
•••
Lieutenant James Campbell was the worst cop on the London police force.
He was mean, cruel and nasty.
So many innocent people went to jail for a long time because of him and so many abusers and Murderers got out because their lawyers paid him.
He didn’t care for any of the citizens, he was so bad that it was the start of hobie’s long term hatred for cops
But some how, someway. His father- Officer Daniel brown was friends with him.
“I’ve known him since kindergarten, he's not be that bad”
His father used to say whenever hobie tried to bring his cruelty up or make side eye him when he was around.
Hobie never understood it. “How could you let that pig around here!?” “Not even turn ‘em in?!” He thought to himself.
One day, a couple of months after he got bit, he got into an argument which he started after he cussed James out which made him storm off.
“I can believe you defend that fucking clown!!” He yelled. “Clam down“ his father softly but sternly replied with. “I’m not gonna calm down! You willingly jerk those guys off like they’re gonna see you any differently!’’
“I don’t know those people that you hang out with, but I can see the number they did on you” Daniel says, fixing his tie at the kitchen counter and putting his police hat on.
“Don’t bring them into this!’’ He said being even more enraged at the fact that he was basically being ignored.
His father stepped away from the counter and went toward the door of the apartment, but hobie still wasn’t gonna let it go.
“No wonder mom left you, I wouldn’t wanna be with such a cunt either.”
He stopped in his tracks.
“….what did you say?” Daniel said without moving a muscle.
And before hobie could repeat it again his father jumped at him from across the room, forcing him against the wall by his shirt.
“Speak on her again in that way! Speak!!!” He yelled right in his face, spit getting all over.
And for the first time, he didn’t comply.
He would never admit it, but that was the first time, in years, that he felt like he pushed-too far.
His father dropped him and walked away from him, sucking his anger back into him and straightening himself up.
The sheer fear, that hobie felt a few moments ago is a feeling that he would never feel again in his lifetime.
He dad takes a deep breath. “I never wanted to be a cop.” Hobie looks up, confused as to what his father was saying.
“When I was younger me and my mates used to get into a lot of trouble with them,” he says. "but as I grew up, I realized that making a difference isn't just running around, high and confused, it’s about working inside the system. It might not look like it but I have to be very, careful with the power I have now."
He gets his jacket. "One less racist cop at a time." he stops again. "I'm not mad at you, Hobart. You're a young black trying to figure it all out," "but there's just some ways you go about it."
He opens the door and looks back one final time.
"I love you."
Hobie doesn't say anything.
He tries to wait for a couple of seconds, hobie usually breaks the silence with a response but this time he doesn't.
".....I just hope you know that."
He leaves.
And hobie is left there, silent.
•••
Later that night, he got shit-faced with his mates Pic and Scabs at this random punk bar they found. The screeching sound of guitars and the audience screaming was so loud that you could barely hear yourself think.
The smell was awful too but you got used to it after a while.
He stumbled out of the place after a couple of hours and puked into the nearest trash can he could find. Everything was so fuzzy, the longest he could go walking in a straight line was a few seconds at most.
But then, while he was trying to find some essence of soberness, blinking red and blue emergency trucks dart passed him on the street- police cars follow.
He usually wouldn't care about things like that but something in his mind was telling him.
"Follow''
So he did.
Part of him still wishes he never listened.
He didn’t really need to run that far since the scene was happening a couple feet away from him. When he got there it was so many people in front of him but it didn’t bother him that much since he was tall as hell.
The body was already covered so he only saw the blood continuing to leak out of it but it was already enough to make his stomach drop.
Something about it was -off- to him, so he pushed through the crowd, and lifted the cover.
And there it was.
His dad laying face first on the ground, multiple stab wounds to his head, brain matter splattered. Hobie was frozen, his face was like stone, he tried to hold back his tears but before he knew it they were filling his eyes and rolling down his cheeks, making his vision blurry even more-so.
“Sir.” A random policeman says, he doesn’t hear. “Sir,” he snaps his fingers in hobie’s face, this time the punk notices him but he just doesn’t care.
“Sir I’m gonna have to ask you to leav-“ the officer says and starts to put his hand on hobie’s shoulder but he instinctively pushes him away. Sooner or later more cops circle around him as he refuses to move away from the body. But before a fight could break out, voice comes out from behind them.
“He’s with me.” The officers stop and stand up straight to hobie’s confusion. He turned around to see the devil himself- lieutenant James, in all his prick-ish glory.
“I think you all should leave.” He says, forcing the officers to leave you alone, still side eyeing the punk while walking away.
For a short while there was silence, just a moment of taking in what was now reality, then James decided to break the ice. “..Sorry..son” he puts his hand on his back which makes both of them cringe to the heaviest degree.
They watch the paramedics put his body on a stretcher and lift him up onto the back of the ambulance but even that wasn’t an emotional moment due to thick air of tension created.
He runs off to get inside the vehicle before they close the door, escaping the awkwardness and into an equally dreadful but weirdly calming environment.
The ride to the hospital felt like an eternity, all he could do was hold his dad’s hand, watching the paramedics trying to save a lost cause.
They got to the Emergency room and rolled the officer away, leaving hobie there, alone, with only himself to comfort.
Later, while hobie was sitting in a waiting chair, trying to distract himself with whatever crappy American sitcom they aired on late night television, a doctor in a long white coat and round glasses approached him.
“You must be Officer Brown’s son.” The doctor says “what of it?” Hobie tries to say in his usual dismissive tone but this time, he can’t bring himself to commit fully.
“…..he was too far gone.” Hobie closes his eyes and sighs, he thought he mentally prepared for it but hearing someone say it was like it cemented itself into reality.
“If you would like,” the doctor said with pity in their voice. “You could come to the room to have one last moment with him.” He hesitated at first but then picked himself up walked to the room with the doctor.
When he entered the room it was a cold and sterile atmosphere, felt like one of those liminal spaces. The colors of the room were almost sickly, everything about it wasn’t right, the only thing that grounded it in reality was the body laying flat in the middle of the room.
The doctor quietly excused themself out of the room and shut the door. Hobie walked to the side of the body and practically just dropped on his father- and cried.
Cried hard. It almost felt like he was a 5 year old again, sitting on his dad’s lap wailing because he broke his arm, but this time he doesn’t feel a warm embrace, the reassurance and comfort of a parental figure.
All he feels is just a cold hand. Lifelessness.
No one to tell him it was gonna be all okay.
Nothing was there anymore.
He barley even remembers the funeral, all he can recount is James, his supposed “best friend” looking bored and laughing up a storm with people.
The case for his dad closed after about 3 months no matter how hard Hobie fought for it to say open.
He couldn’t keep up with rent so he got evicted.
The only option was to stay with his absent mom or James, and no way in hell was that happening.
He found an abandoned warehouse and decorated it to his liking. It’s not like he was depressed or anything but everything just went- numb for a little while.
On rare occasions he felt emotion, but it went away after a few seconds.
Life felt more like a really bad fever dream now.
If you could even call it a dream.
•••
Months after that, he was sleeping on a friend’s couch when the friend, Rob frantically woke him.
“Wake the fuck up Hobbs!!” Rob quietly yells in a panic. “What?!” He says, sitting up dazed. Rob paces back and forth.
"Scabs got merked!!" hobie's mind didn't register it at first. “…huh?" “Scab’s is dead mate!” It still doesn’t compute. “….what?” He says in an uncharacteristically dumbfounded tone. “Do I have to spell it out for you dumbass he is not with us anymore!!”
Then when it finally clicks, the only words he can muster out is
“....who killed him?" he asks but Rob didn't hear it, still pacing and talking to himself. It took hobie to get up and grab Rob by his jacket for him to finally get a straight answer."
"Who. Killed. Him?" He says slowly. "That cunt lieutenant said he had drugs on him when he doesn't even drink. One thing lead to another and he got shot."
His face drops.
At first, he was even more lost, and confused. He sat back down and put his hand into his palms. Then, it was like someone poured boiling water one him to wake up.
For the first time, in a long time, an emotion finally stuck with him.
Rage.
Blind. Rage.
He quickly went to get his guitar and his suit and quickly went toward the door. “Where yo-” hobie had already shut the door before his friend could finish the question.
He changed on the rooftop of the building and swung into the night.
He didn’t even know where that cunt was, all he knew was that he had to do something. Something that would make him feel the pain and numbness that he felt.
And the only way he knew how to do that was by Revenge.
He finally got to the lieutenant’s house- a modest, 2-bedroom house. He didn't have any children, he got divorced rather quickly before he could.
He got in through the window. It was pitch black and he couldn't feel anyone in the house so he walked up to the front door and waited.
He saw certificates and police gear all over the wall along with pictures of him on duty and all he could feel was disgust.
He could feel the sweat dripping down his face in his mask, palms sore from holding the guitar. His suit only made him feel claustrophobic but he didn’t care.
He heard a car pull up. His eyes immediately shot to the window, seeing a black Volkswagen Beetle parked in the driveway. He looks straight at the door, feeling him get out of the car and inch closer and closer to the door.
His heart was beating through his chest and was mentally psyching himself up. The sound of keys jingling just outside the door made him close his eyes.
“Once I deal with him,” he thought. “It will be all over with.”
The doorknob turned and he saw him. From that point on, It was like an out-of-body experience. He didn’t feel like himself- Something came over him.
Maybe it was a greater force than himself, maybe it was all the grief he somehow suppressed it was a mystery.
He doesn’t remember much of the fight, only the fact that James had a broken nose and was losing severely. But when he “got back” to his body, the scene was a horror show.
Blood was all over him, his guitar was broken and James' head looked like it had been split in two. It didn’t take him long to put two and two together.
It was so bad that two teeth were stuck in the bottom of his guitar. He quickly left the scene after he heard a car coming. He got on the roof of Rob’s flat and hid his blood soaked suit and guitar.
He knew he couldn’t leave it there for long or else it would stain. He opened the door to the apartment and immediately went to take a shower, and to be honest, he felt immensely better.
He was mostly glad that nobody would be bothered by him anymore, that there was one less burden on earth, but he couldn’t brush off the fact that something was watching him- Something familiar.
It was the most publicized murder case in the city. The brutality of it all intrigued people the most. “What could have the heroic police officer James Campbell, done to have deserved this fate?”
It made him sick, the blatant rewriting of history. Especially the fact that the authority force had so much more emotion for him than his dad.
That’s when he got his blue latter laces. His friends and the rest of the scene noticed but didn’t say anything nor cared. He got investigated for a bit but due to lack of evidence he was let go.
He took a break from being spider-man for a while, opting to spend time with his friends and to sort of heal. He cleaned his suit and fixed his guitar, trying to live a normal life after what he did.
He still gets night terrors once in a while, it gets mixed in with dreams of his dad. He makes jokes about his laces, smiling at Miles’s dad when he catches him staring at his shoes.
Definitely doesn't feel bad about that son of a bitches death, doesn't have a reason to care anyway. But there's still a pinch of- guilt in the back of his mind.
Festering. If he didn't say what he said, if he just caved in and told him that he loved him. Then he would still be alive.

In my latest re-watch of the TGF movie, I had an interesting realization. Every time we return to Hobie's, there is an establishing shot with the little wooden ark (sometimes it's the focus, sometimes it's behind a character, but it's always there). Combining this knowledge with the fact that Hobie is pretty much the only reliable adult in Theo's life, Hobie is Theo's ark. This is especially obvious after returning from Vegas, Hobie literally takes Theo in during a rainstorm. Hobie always has been, and always will be, Theo's safe place.
below you will find the various canon characters i have played or are willing to play from various fandoms. i am willing to play these characters against other canon characters or original characters too. keep in mind that i do prefer to double when it comes to canon/original pairings, but may be swayed to a single pairing depending on plot.

our dear beloved Hobie and his business partner Welty most likely lived within a few blocks (and definitely within seven) of a fairly famous little historical landmark...
the Stonewall Inn, inciting location of the Stonewall Riots
when Theo first goes to meet Hobie, it’s mentioned that a. he gets lost amongst the triangular blocks, b. the shop is on west 10th street, and c. Theo wanders from the shop to a restaurant called elephant & castle
the following screenshot shows the mentioned places and likely includes the shop’s location, right in the middle of a famous “gay district” of New York. look how close it is to Stonewall!!
additionally, in Theo’s lost confusion, it’s quite likely he ended up on Gay Street, and this kid getting lost on Gay Street is... too much for my poor addled brain
the fact that the one place Theo feels safe and loved is right next to the heart of the gay rights movement... it’s interesting, that’s all I’m saying
tl;dr: Hobie lives near Stonewall, Theo got lost on Gay Street
