Have some poorly drawn monster ASS trio!!
We got Fire Monster Sam, Crow Harpy Abby, and Tarantula Seb!
Some lore on the fire monsters! In their natural state, they lack facial feature, but lately younger generations have started mimicking expressions with paler flames! This means if their focus of making facial expressions is broken, whether that be intense emotion, focusing on something else, or simply forgetting, their face will distort and eventually disappear until redone, since it’s done manually. Also no bones
With Sam himself, I imagine human Sam has heterochromia, and I decided to translate this into fire terms by making some of his flames blue!
I don’t really have much lore for spider monsters or harpies, but if anyone has any suggestions they would be greatly appreciated!
You can use these designs/interpretations, or take inspiration from them as long as you tag me in the post!

It's dawned on me how strong modern!Sue actually is. And I don't mean that in a metaphorical way, I mean literally. She works at a funeral house. She tends to dead people everyday, which means she carrying around whole ass people everyday, of varying sizes.
So she could totally lift someone twice her size.

honestly the ambiguity of whether the Web-aligned tapes pulled Jon out of The Buried or if the act of Martin leaving them was actually what did it is so important to the ending in retrospect. what do you believe in? love or fear? did their love take Jon and Martin Somewhere Else, or were their feelings just a means to an end? A way of getting the job done?

MAGtober 27: The Web
"Indeed. And it just so happens that the perfect tool was once delivered to you as a token of appreciation. Though you really do need to learn to keep better care of it. Somehow it always seems to slip your mind, doesn’t it?"

spider-verse is, in limited ways, pushing against the rules of the medium down to the structure: the movies are challenging the trope of sacrifice in hero stories, and it just so happens that acceptance of inevitable destruction is being forced upon young people of color whose pain is closer to home and who dare to question the systemic necessity of their grief and isolation

Jon's lighter is such an important plot point, and an aesthetically beautiful object. The way its meaning is written in us so subtle and powerful! I didn't think about it much outside of its plot relevance, but since I started using a zippo lighter myself, I've thought about it a lot more.
The most notable difference between a zippo and a cheap plastic lighter is the amount of care and maintenance required. You wouldn't think it, I certainly didn't consider it, but there is some amount of effort to keeping it working! Refilling the lighter fluid every week or so, and even changing out the wick if you have to! And it's not necessarily needed, but I like to clean off the metal to make sure it doesn't tarnish.
Now the interesting thing here is that means Jon was actively taking care of a Web aligned artifact. Of course, the tape recorders too but its not exactly like they were given much care; the lighter however, was. Jon definitely seemed to like it, he managed to hold onto it for years, even through the literal apocalypse, so keeping it going must've been of importance to him. There's something interesting about how fostering a connection to such an object could inadvertently foster your connection to the being itself.
Alternatively, perhaps the lighter never needed any looking after! Maybe all that time Jon has an obviously magical lighter but there was just so much going on that he never considered it really should have run out of lighter fluid after a couple of years.
Either way, the Web clearly has good taste when it comes to gifts, even if they end up being the thing that finally kills the recipient.
