I know it's hard cause his comics are from, like, the 90s at the latest and kinda hard to find unless you go into shady sites or find used copies, but what I need people to understand —at least until Across The Spiderverse part 2 comes out and proves otherwise— is that Miguel O'Hara is a severely depressed guy who comes from a background of abuse. His stepfather was incredibly abusive, he was bullied his whole childhood and he has at least 2 half siblings he found out about later in life who hate him, one for being Spiderman and the other for being himself. He's never had any sort of stability- especially not familial stability. He's reclusive and self destructive, he isolates himself and ruins his relationships with others either because of his isolation or because he's actively self-sabotaging. And that's all without the addition of the child for the sad backstory.
Then, in Across The Spiderverse, he had a seemingly perfect life waved right in front of his face, like the universe —both his own and that perfect one— is taunting him with what he's never been allowed to have, but also giving him a chance to just take it, to finally have that without any extra effort needed. I'm not at all surprised by his actions and the choice he made, and I can't wait to see how that goes in Part 2.

Just had a thought. The plot synopsis of “Deadpool & Wolverine” says that the two of them are given a mission by the TVA that will change the history of the MCU. Obviously, that could mean rewriting the canon so that mutants can exist in the universe. But I’m thinking, what if it’s also the tone? Because Marvel Studios is clearly comfortable with the movie being a solid R-rating.
Also, think about it like this; Deadpool and Wolverine altering the timeline allows for an in-universe, retroactive explanation for why the Netflix Marvel shows (and the rest of Marvel Television) are both canon and don’t clash with the rest of the MCU. How can Netflix Marvel - which has scenes like the Punisher gouging someone’s eyes and Kingpin decapitating some guy with a car door - exist in the family friendly MCU? Because Deadpool and Wolverine altered the fabric of space and time and infected it with their edginess.
So, not only do the older Marvel Television shows get more wiggle room to be in the MCU, future Marvel movies/shows can also go darker, which works for characters like Moon Knight and Blade. If that really was the plan, then this was a GREAT use of Wade and Logan.

Not Alone (Bucky Barnes X Reader Fan Fic)
At long last a return to writing!
Hello! I like to write and will have more for you to read in time so you should totally check out My Masterlist!
Fic Below Cut, Quick Synopsis -
You know Bucky Barnes has never been a person who enjoys goodbyes, not a man who enjoys letting go. Reminded of his best friend's passing by the anniversary of his death, you find Bucky reminising, tormented by memory.
The morning light started to filter through the light curtains of your shared bedroom. Morning was your most favourite time of day, the smell coming from the coffee machine and the birds chirping outside was a gentle call to action for the day.
It was a far stretch from the small apartment you'd once shared with Bucky, back in the days after you had both returned from being ash... Many things had changed, for one you'd moved to this house, one that was left to you. Another change, another adjustment had been the loss of dear friends, of team members. Steve Rogers returning an old man from his mission to return the stones. Bucky held your hands tightly between his, the night he had been informed of Steve's plan.
"Bucky-he...no he can't be serious!" You spoke in a voice that wobbled; your usual steely resolve shattered a little at the idea of more time being lost. "Doll...When he told me, I wanted to be mad, I wanted to tell him to stay but..." His voice was huskier, his tongue darter out to lick his bottom lip, “...if it was us, and i knew they only way I could be with you...was to go back...I don't think anyone could tell me anything that would make me stay in a time period without you.". He let out a weak sigh, and you saw the way a part of him crumbled, without Steve, without his friend, he no longer had ties to the man he once had been. He looked into your eyes, and all the pain and the fear made your heart ache.
That was around two years ago, and after a period of adjustment, and the roughest patch you'd witnessed bucky go through - the two of you started to make a life together, started to make it work, to give Bucky a future.
You reached your hand out across the bed and sighed when you found Buck's side to be empty and cold. "Bub?!" You called out, sitting up and brushing your hair away from your eyes. After stretching your arms above your head, you walked downstairs. "Buck?" Your voice was a little unsure, honestly wracking your mind trying to figure out where he was. Then you spotted him, looking through the large kitchen window, walking towards the sink, leaning over, and knocking. Bucky turned to see you, and you just knew...something was deeply wrong within him.
Pulling the door open the light breeze hit your skin, head tilting to the left, you moved towards Bucky. "Morning beautiful..." He mumbled; his lips collided to your forehead peppering gentle kisses into your skin. He just took a deep breath and wrapped his arms tightly round you. It was easy just to sink into him, breathing in hard and just letting out a soft hum. "How long have you been up?" You asked after a few minutes of this silent intense embrace. "Would ya be annoyed if I admitted I've been up since midnight?" His voice was low. It took a moment, but you sighed back at him "Honestly, I'd be more annoyed if you tried to lie about that." He chuckled a bit when you spoke. "It's been two years y/n." He stated gently, pain was evident in his tone. There was a dull thud in your chest, pain, pain for him. "Oh, baby I didn't realise-" Guilt washed over you, just for a moment. You knew rationally that days were busy, and your coping mechanism was to bury grief.
Bucky was unlike you in this way. Buck didn't want to forget the grief; he had mostly learned to live with that sort of pain. "I don't have any regrets you know?" He let out gently, brushing his left hand down the side of your cheek, his touch was cold but familiar and comforting. He noticed the micro nod that happened in response. "I just miss my friend sometimes." He stated, he wasn’t justifying his grief to you, more talking himself out of the pit he had fell into overnight. "He won’t get to come to our wedding...he won’t get to meet my kids...he won’t be there and..." His throat closed. "It fucking sucks." You finished for him, a sad smile flashing across your face, "yeah..." He let out a breathy laugh, "Fuckin' sucks." he repeated. He let you move backwards from him. His head turned, and he just watched the way the leaves on the trees surrounding the house moved with the wind.
"He isn't gone." Your voice was back, you'd found the words you needed. The boards of the porch creaked and after a minute you found yourself sitting down on the steps, Bucky took time, but he joined you. His hand came to rest on your thigh, squeezing a little. “He isn’t gone.” You repeated, your voice sounded a bit stronger to Buck, he could see it on your face – wholehearted belief in the words you were speaking. “Steve isn’t gone, you have him right here with you, bub…Steve left us this house, our future will happen here, with his memories. You’ve got memories that you will get to share…” You explained to him. His head fell to your shoulder, and he just breathed, nodding a little bit at the words. “I know Doll.” He whispered to you, “You know, I almost forgot the anniversary was comin’…I almost forgot about him.”. There it was, that’s why he could sleep, he was wracked with guilt about it all.
You turned after a moment and scooped up his cheeks between your hands. He smiled a little bit as he looked into your eyes. “James.” You whispered, “You aren’t going to forget Steve.” You spoke, “You will never forget him.” You kissed his nose and then let your forehead rest against his. “I almost did.” He told you. His eyes screwed right up. “Bucky…he wouldn’t want you to feel guilty for healing.” It took a second for Bucky to open his eyes back up. Looking right into your eyes. Leaning forwards your lips collided with his, and he clung to your hips, tugging you closer. He let you break backwards. “y/n, doll…I’ll be okay...I’ve got my best girl…I’ll be okay.” He assured you. He smiled as you lay your head on his shoulder.
“We will take him some flower’s later today, but right now, we are going upstairs.” You whispered into his ear, and he let out a little huff. “James Barnes…the whole broody man thing is incredibly sexy and all…but you have to sleep. No matter how determined you are to not”. He laughed at you as you said it. “I love you.” He whispered. “I love you so much…and I don’t know what I’d do…if I didn’t have you...” You stood, tugging him up with you, slipping your arms around his neck and tugging him down into a harder kiss. You kept your eyes shut, just breathing with him, “You…don’t have to think like that…I’m here for the long-haul Barnes.”
You reached across the bed, and wrapped an arm around Buck’s waist pulling yourself closer. Laying against his back. The grief would never go away. Neither would you, he wrapped a hand around your arm, holding you close. He’d be okay…He had you.
The end.
And we are back ya’ll for anyone new to seeing posts from this blog hello! I haven’t posted in three years and for anyone who follows me hello I am making a return to writing. Kind of starting fresh, but don’t worry you can still find my old fics!

Nothing marvel has ever done will infuriate me more then them branding the (fairly bad imo) eternals movie as marvels “first on screen gay kiss/ gay couple” there is quite literally an ENTIRE SHOW (runaways) featuring a lesbian who TURNS INTO A RAINBOW??? It has a honestly great found family trope it has the classic light/dark but lesbians and one of them turns into a rainbow and the others a witch it has a goddamn dinosaur!!! What more could you want!!!! But nOOOO it got shoved on Hulu and then canceled and then buried!!!! THEY TOOK IT OFF HULU AND DISNEY +
I’m so salty about it and I will stay salty about it this was literally years (2018 I think) before eternals and all the other “marvels first gay person Omg!!” Repetitive bullshit headlines (how many first gay people can you have before it just shows how bad ur gay rep is I mean honestly)
Runaways literally gave us so much. It’s so gay. And the gays are openly featured and in love and they’re superheroes and of course!! They took it off Disney plus because they’re cowards!!! And I hate that. Justice for Karolina and Nico tbh. Like sure the show might not be the best but I hate how it was pushed to the side and buried only for marvel to then offer us literal garbage instead and go “see we like gay people!! Go.. gays!! Woooo” justice for the rainbow lesbian goddangit!!
They took it off all major streaming services but marvel isn’t worth giving money to anyways so I’m begging y’all to pirate this show.
