A note on Miguel bc I feel like some people are overlooking this

Miguel is stricken by grief.

That doesn’t justify his actions. But it adds depth to his character, and explains why he was so ready to fight miles.

Miguel lost EVERYTHING that was important to him. She didn’t get any screen time, but he lost his wife. She was the love of his life, his estrella, his vida, his everything. And then he lost his daughter. Imagine loosing two of the most important people in your whole life in the same way at the exact same time

You can’t. Because it is mentally incomprehensible for your brain to do so!! We aren’t equipped (as humans) to experience the amount of grief we have to. Our bodies can literally shut down due to grief. And he experienced that not once but twice.

And to add even more pain, he is Spider-Man!!! He was supposed to save them!! To be there and save the day. But he couldn’t and didn’t and that’s why he feels so much guilt over their deaths.

so he built a device to literally change dimensions to try to get them back (this isn’t ever explicitly stated but I highly doubt he just stumbled upon a universe where he was happy) This is what makes Miguel a sympathetic character. He lost everything, got it back, but at a cost.

We know in our heart of hearts he didn’t care abt killing the other universe’s version of him. He got back what he lost, no matter who had to die for it. But then. he lost it all again.

And at the cost of an entire universe this time.

billions and billions of everything glitched out and vanished.

(Basing off the theory that Miguel’s device prevents him from glitching yet the glitch of the displaced atoms must go somewhere, therefore they went to like... the universe)

Miguel HAS to believe in canon events and shit. Because if he doesn’t, then all the suffering he went through was just. nothing. it happened for no reason.

And Miguel is (highly implied) to be someone who doesn’t really deal with “there’s no rhyme or reason to death” well. So in this mess of grief over losing the love of his life, his daughter, killing a version of himself, and then loosing them AGAIN at the sacrifice of an entire universe where his daughter is begging in his arms as she dies, his brain creates the idea of canon events. Complete bullshit justifications for all the pain that he had to go through.

They aren’t real. They aren’t based in fact. There is no other example of a universe “dying” due to the disruption of a canon event. Even visually Pav’s universe was being eaten alive by The Spot, slowly being consumed by black (hobie calling it “a metaphor for capitalism”) while Miguel’s was glitching out, pixelated, and spotty.

Miguel is deeply delusional and just a really sad man who is willing to kill to keep his delusion alive. He went violent when the first “threat” to his delusion intervened (miles) and will stop at nothing short of LETTING A CIVILIAN DIE AT THE HANDS OF A SUPERVILLAIN to stay delusional. Miguel is not the villain but simply an antagonist.

Happy Holidays!

Well check this out! Software that makes your Art look messed up to training AIs and unusable in a data set but nearly unchanged to human eyes.

THIER IS NO PROFESY.

THIER IS ONLEE ME.

Everyone, I’m delighted to say that the Aggie.IO sessions are finally complete! There were so many familiar names and quirky, talented artists all mixed up into one canvas. I love the energy you guys put out, people having fun chatting, sharing interests and ideas while making each other laugh, drawing together as a community. ╰(*´∇ `*)╯♡

A bonfire mashup is a must:

These are always fun and exciting to carry out, I just love drawing with people while chatting. Surprisingly, the sessions are mild and less cursed than before! Thank you to everyone that participated in the Aggie.IO sessions and Thank you for 3K followers and interactions (that’s like 5 schools amount to me) Love you all♥️💕♥️💕

as a gwen fan, i'm so tired of other fans of her try to erase the fact that she has done bad stuff. the whole point of her arc is that she can't ran away from her mistakes anymore and she has to face them!! sure, some of her haters are misogynistic, but putting that label on everyone who dares to point out her mistakes is weird (especially with how quick gwen/gwiles fans were to hate on margo/flowerbyte)

Good morning! And AAAAHHH THANK YOU IM KISSING YOU ON THE MOUTH /silly /platonic

Seriously! Thank you! I don’t understand how these people can say they love a character but then refuse to acknowledge the reality of their actions and their effect on the other characters!

Like I love Miguel a lot, he’s probably my favorite character in Across the Spider-Verse. But not for one MOMENT do I excuse any of his actions, NOR do I deny how much he has affected and very likely traumatized the Spiders (especially the teen ones) that work for/with him! That’s a big reason why I love him though! He’s so fascinating! How close to rock bottom will he have to fall to realize he’s gone too far? How will he react once he does realize, how will he try to fix things?

Why does it seem that so few of the biggest Gwen Stacy fans aren’t interested into diving into character examining questions like this for her? Especially when there’s so many avenues that can be taken!!

Definitely misogyny should always be taken seriously, but when those people totally overuse the word as an accusation against people they disagree with, I just feel that doesn’t get us anywhere productive. True equality for women/feminism/whatever isn’t never critiquing women and female characters at all!

And let’s please never stop talking about the hate and racism Gwen Stacy stans/Gwiles shippers perpetuated towards Margo Kess, her fans, and Flowerbyte shippers. Like actually, I plan to never shut up about that so none of us forget, the idea of all that is just so horrid and upsetting.

Thank you so so so much for this ask! I had a lovely time answering it, and I hope you have an awesome day💪

don't mind me just providing this fandom with more bbg fanart
