i'm not anti timebomb, but watching ekko get reduced to just the other half of a ship pains me.
it's 84° rn and I'm PISSED
didn’t that groundhog say six more weeks of winter? he’s a damn lie if i’ve ever seen one ITS 77° IN FEBRUARY
as the motorfang district attorney i can confirm these are all 100% true and real
motorfang headcannons because i think of them constantly
- they watch jeopardy together and compete with each other to win
- they both HATE when people eat food loudly; when peter b. eats around them they both just stare in disgust (this was based off some fan art i saw, when i find it ill credit them)
- the king and queen of side eyeing (it’s kind of canon already lmao)
- they aren’t super big on pda in the workplace. the most contact between them would just be a hand on the shoulder or when something is being passed between them (the exception is patching each other up)
- jessica is the only person miguel trusts to patch him up when he’s injured
- mutual. massaging.
- they are both stubborn and ridiculously petty, arguments (usually about the canon or miles) melt down into standoffs that last for hours
- jessica has miguel take down her protective styles
- saturday morning cleaning is something serious in their space cs they’re both lowkey neat freaks; music blasting, every surface wiped down, candles lit in every clean room
- when jessica first met miguel, she had a problem taking miguel seriously and would giggle during his monologues (it’s not her fault he looked like he was mewing every time he’d pause) miguel let it slide because he found her laugh cute anyway
- miguel was so afraid of putting jess in danger when he first recruited her once he learned she was pregnant; she had to convince him to give her harder missions
- they both know the rumors that circulate around the spider society about miguel being the father of jessica’s child, both choose not to address it
- glasses wearing power couple (sometimes, miguel prefers contacts)
- they temporarily took gwen in until hobie offered
- miguel liked the 2099 burgers up until they changed something in the recipe only he was able to detect. after basically throwing a fit and going back up to his screens without any food, jess bought him empanadas for him instead; only eats those now (i want to draw this lowk)
- love languages:
- miguel loves words of affirmation the most, being told by jessica that he and his work are valued means the world to him
- jessica loves physical touch; pregnancy is hard, even harder being a spider. and miguel is always willing to massage every ache and kiss every change in her body
- pet names were very gradually called amongst them. for a long time it was just “jess” and “migs”
- it never really evolved much besides “baby” and “amor”
- jessica isn’t fluent in spanish, she knows a lot of words just from context when miguel speaks (cursing and compliments towards her); she tries, and her spanish is decent
- 90s anime binging; jess loves sailor moon and miguel loves dragon ball z
- cat and child magnets
- miguel organized a part of the society to be a daycare after gerry was born so jessica could have easier access to her baby (and so peter would stop bringing mayday to nearly every mission)
ughhh i love them both they’re probably gonna argue in the next movie but idc ! 😍

“This is ridiculous,” mumbled Sevika as she stood in the middle of an aisle in a random drugstore.
Jinx cocked her hip out and tapped her boot against the grey carpet. Isha pulled candy from shelves she could reach, lifting them to Jinx’s eyesight. Jinx would seriously give the candy some consideration but then shake her head and shoo Isha off to find another option. Isha found a bag of suckers that were heart shaped and red, of course, and excitedly bounced. Presenting them to Jinx, the younger girl bit her lip with the need for Jinx’s approval shimmering brightly in her eyes. Dropping her eyes to Isha, Jinx hummed thoughtfully and grabbed the bag from Isha.
“You’re a genius, Isha!” Jinx exclaimed and affectionately ruffled the girl’s fading blue hair. Isha threw her arms up in victory then ran further down the aisle where they kept the stuffed animals and other random toys.
Jinx turned the bag of lollipops over in her hands. Sevika somewhat curiously dropped her eyes to where Jinx inspects the candy despite the huffing and puffing she’s doing.
“How will this possibly help?” Sevika grabs the bag of lollipops as if all her questions will be answered.
Jinx rolls her eyes exasperatedly and reaches for the bag again but Sevika is faster and lifts the bag of lollipops over her head. She laughs with an amused huff as Jinx jumps once to reach the bag. Sevika uses her other hand to gently push Jinx away by her forehead.
Jinx swats at Sevika’s hand and ducks underneath. Crossing her arms over her chest, Jinx begins tapping her foot again on the floor. “Do you want my help or not?”
Sevika seriously considers her then sighs. “Yes…”
“Good!” Jinx immediately brightens up and drops her arms from her chest. “Get the lollipops and pick Mel up from work. Then take her for a drive to the overlook. You should pick something up to eat maybe.”
Sevika’s grey eyes slightly widen with the instructions. She hadn’t realized how big of a deal Valentine’s Day was. Well, she did, but she never put effort behind it. The 42 year old woman hadn’t the opportunity or time to invest much in long term relationships. Valentine’s Day if it came around and she had a lady—Sevika mainly would grab a rose or two from the aunties selling on the sidewalks. A good roll in the sheets and spooning always did the trick for her very brief trysts.
But then Sevika met Mel. Unexpectedly on jazz night at Sevika’s favorite hole in the wall club. She could not take her eyes off the woman in her modernized flapper dress that moved and sparkled with each breath Mel took. Mel laughed at all of Sevika’s corny jokes and touched her arms and shoulders as she did. Sevika found herself holding her breath every time Mel’s green eyes caught perfectly in the candlelight on the table.
It was no surprise to either of them when Mel ended up in Sevika’s lap. But it was a surprise to Sevika after two days she could not stop thinking about the woman. Then days turned to weeks until Mel and Sevika were an official couple of seven months.
Now a few weeks after seven months together, Valentine’s Day lurked around the corner. Mel had not necessarily dropped hints more so smacked Sevika in the face with them. She foolishly confided in Jinx and Jinx cackled on the couch with her hands on her stomach and tears in her eyes. Sevika failed to find anything amusing about her situation. Asking the 19 year old girl for any advice about love and relationships felt belittling and embarrassing. But Sevika slowly realized she did not mind so much if it meant seeing that smile on Mel’s face. The smile where Mel cannot help but giggle and her cheeks swell so high—Sevika is convinced they’ll swallow Mel’s eyes.
Sevika checks the time on her watch—1:38pm. It’s enough time to get home, freshen up and get Mel’s favorite meal before picking her girlfriend up. To an outsider Sevika grumbling something under her breath sounds incoherent but to Jinx she understands every word. Jinx gives her guardian of 7 years a curled lip and shrugs but calls out for Isha. Isha runs down the aisle with a scrappy looking teddy bear. She holds it closely to her chest before stopping in front of Sevika. Isha bashfully drops her eyes to her feet before slowly lifting the bear up.
Sevika arches an inquisitive eyebrow at both the girl and the teddy. The teddy bear fits in Sevika’s hand as she reaches for it.
“For you or Mel?” Sevika asks in a soft tone despite her voice being naturally gruffly. She watches as Isha grunts then nods her head —effectively communicating the teddy bear is for Mel. Sevika hums then playfully nudges Isha’s chin. With her girls closely behind, Sevika heads towards the self checkout with the bag of heart shaped lollipops and teddy bear.
Jinx already lifted Isha for a piggyback ride and Jinx is babbling about something related to her engineering class. Isha pretends to understand and nods enthusiastically with everything Jinx is saying. The girl even looks deep in thought when Jinx asks her a question. Sevika shakes her head half heartedly when Jinx exclaims, “Exactly! That’s what I said! His project wasn’t even that impressive.”
“How much do you think the arm will swipe for?” Jinx unexpectedly blurts out while hip checking Sevika.
Sevika narrows her eyes, her eyebrows pushing together as she whips her head to Jinx. “My arm?” Sevika instinctively flexes the mechanical fingers on her prosthetic in response.
Jinx nods her head in a way Sevika is convinced it’ll snap off. Sevika grunts in response and turns back to the self-checkout. But Jinx continues talking. “I could probably create a barcode and we could swipe it. It’ll be a mystery!”
Sevika, disgruntledly grabs the receipt and bag and carefully reaches for Isha who is now making grabby hands for the older woman. Sevika props Isha on her hip with her non-prosthetic arm then nudges Jinx in a way that the teenage girl awkwardly stumbles backwards.
“Sheesh…you’d think with love in the air you’d be less tense.”

A few hours later, Sevika is parked outside of Mel’s office. Her brilliant girlfriend works as a public defender. She promised Sevika she would get off early at 3:30pm. Now Sevika patiently leans against the hood of her car in a pair of black jeans, a fitted white shirt and tan corduroy jacket. Of course she’s wearing the gold chain Mel graciously bought for Sevika’s birthday.
Mel’s heels clack against the weathered concrete pavement that leads out of the gated building and into the parking lot. She peeps Sevika’s arm is bent behind her back even as she leans on her car. Lifting her eyes to cover the glare from the sun, Mel smiles delicately at Sevika once she stops a few inches away from her girlfriend.
“Hi, handsome.”
Sevika grumbles, not because she doesn’t appreciate the compliment, but because it makes her cheeks burn with a blush. Gripping what’s behind her tightly, Sevika draws it forward and presses it against Mel’s chest.
“Happy Valentine’s Day.” Sevika jumbles the words quickly and her eyes darting to the side.
Mel’s eyes widened just a bit. She drops her gaze to the item pressed against her chest. It’s a rather scruffy looking teddy bear with a bouquet of heart shaped lollipops tied to its paws. Mel’s confused expression turns into one of delight. Her face spreads into that smile Sevika cannot get enough of. Mel’s fingers wrap around Sevika’s holding the gift. She lifts herself on her toes and presses a chaste kiss to Sevika’s lips. Mel opts not to wipe away the red lipstick now on Sevika’s lips.
Mel’s smile remains even as her lips brushed against Sevika’s. “You remembered.”
Sevika nods slowly, her eyes still closed from the head rush induced by Mel’s radiant smile and brief kiss. “How could I not? You made it very obvious I was not allowed to forget.”
“I think that’s a bit of an exaggeration, my love.”
“Says the woman that woke me out of my sleep to remind me Valentine’s Day is 14 days away.”
Mel scrunches her face from the blush growing underneath her cheeks. Sevika cannot see the blush but she can absolutely tell by the way Mel’s nose bunches up like a kitten. Sevika laughs which allows Mel to laugh and both their hearts practically swell out of their chests seeing their partner filled with innocent joy and laughter.
Mel holds the bear dearly to her face, inspecting the toy and the lollipops. She brings it underneath her nose, sniffing Sevika’s subtle cologne. “Tell Isha and Jinx I appreciate them helping you.”
Sevika scoffs rather offended for someone that did need the help of a teenager and pre-pubescent kid. “Yeah, whatever.” She straightens up when Mel’s green eyes bore into hers from behind the teddy bear. “I mean…I will. There’s other stuff on the agenda though.”
“Oh?” Mel tugs a lollipop free from its ribbon tied bouquet. Sevika hums with a head nod then gently pats Mel’s hip. Mel understands the silent cue, following Sevika to the passenger side as the older woman opens the door for her. Mel immediately inhales deeply, smelling the symphony of scents dancing around her nose. Her stomach grumbles in reaction.
“Baby…what did you get?” Mel peers over the seat and sees a bag of food. Her mouth waters and she has to refrain from reaching. But Sevika, always a diligent boyfriend, brings the bag forward once settled into the front seat.
Sevika widens the plastic bag and Mel leans over the middle console for a better look. “I got most of your favorites from Ms. Josie’s. Netta threw in a lot of extras. You hungry now?”
Mel’s pupils visibly dilate hearing “favorites” and “Ms. Josie’s.” Ms. Josie’s is a Caribbean/West African spot that’s a staple of the community since Mel could walk. It’s kept in the family and even on the gloomiest days the food brings a smile to Mel’s face.
“Did you get bag rice? Because yes, I’m hungry but I can wait.” Mel bites her lip and further leans over the console. She watches Sevika dig through the bag before pulling out jollof rice and stew chicken wrapped tightly in a sandwich bag. “Ah! Did I ever tell you I love you?” Mel exclaims far more joyous than Sevika anticipated and reaches out for the item.
As Mel bites off the corner from the plastic bag, she fails to notice the shocked expression on Sevika’s face. No, Mel had never told Sevika she loved her. It was not something they had officially said to each other yet. The words ring in Sevika’s ears as she dumbfoundedly watches Mel eat the food. Her teeth, lips and fingers work in unison to tug the rice into her mouth as she pushes it upwards. Sevika’s never found eating attractive or cute. It’s only eating. But Mel makes little noises of contentment and even occasionally closes her eyes. Her lips are oily and there’s lipstick stain on the bag. Once Mel is near the end of the bag, Sevika finally swallows the parched ache in her throat.
“You love me?” Gosh, Sevika thinks she sounds pathetic. Her tone cracks slightly and the words come out in a faint whisper. She would’ve reviled more in the confused look on Mel’s face if it weren’t something so serious.
Mel blinks her confusion but then the realization dawns in her green eyes. “Oh…” Her slender fingers reach up to touch her lips then she looks over at Sevika. “I…” Mel trails off, nervously nibbling on her bottom lip. “Of course, I love you. How could I not? Seven months with you feels like seven days and seven years. You’re my protector and my best friend. I’m absolutely in love with you, Sevika.”
*ੈ𑁍༘⋆°❀.ೃ࿔* *ੈ𑁍༘⋆°❀.ೃ࿔* *ੈ𑁍༘⋆°❀.ೃ࿔* *ੈ𑁍༘⋆°❀.ೃ࿔*
Sevika’s eyes are closed in blissful wonderment as Mel stands between her legs. They finally made it to the overlook— after Mel confessed, yes, she did love Sevika and Sevika ended up shedding two drops of tears exactly (she will not admit to anymore despite Mel’s teasing). Mel sobbed most of her makeup away as Sevika confessed she knew she loved Mel after four months. After introducing her girlfriend to Jinx and Isha and seeing…feeling…how perfectly she fit into Sevika’s little family.
At the overlook, Sevika and Mel gladly indulged in all the food and extras. They halfheartedly argued over if it’s curry goat or goat curry—Sevika’s guyanese heritage never letting this go. As the sun sets, Mel happily presses red stained kisses all over Sevika’s face and neck. The smile on Sevika’s face can only be described as love-drunk. Her hands are firmly holding Mel’s waist as her girlfriend leans down, peppering her adoration into her skin. Perhaps Valentine’s Day isn’t cheesy and corny after all.
all the time i think abt the way atsv hints that hobie and miguel don’t ACTUALLY hate each other. and no one else talks abt it. miguel sees hobie and immediately starts almost joking around w him, acting indifferent, and we KNOWWW he’s not actually indifferent bc he treats peter (someone he ACTUALLY doesn’t like) completely differently 😭😭😭 “i was gonna try ignoring you, i can’t, i can’t even” compared to “ugh peter.” under his breath is CRAZY. atsv hype may be over but i’m tired of people acting like miguel n peter are besties and miguel n hobie are mortal enemies it’s bothered me for ages. i think hobie honestly just has a better idea of boundaries than peter does, who spends the whole movie pissing miguel off 💔 i don’t think hobie n miguel are besties at all but i don’t get when people act like they want each other dead 🙁
miguel likes hobie more than he likes peter thank u for listening
it's still january today AND tomorrow my goodness
The man crying is George Gillette, tribal chairman of the Mandan, Arikara, and Hidatsa tribes of North Dakota in 1948. He was forced under the threat of death of all his people to sign over the tribes’ homeland on the fertile floodplain of the Missouri River in order to build the Garrison Dam.
The final settlement legislation denied tribes’ right to use the reservoir shoreline for grazing, hunting, fishing or other purposes, including irrigation development and royalty rights on all subsurface minerals within the reservoir area.
After the dam was constructed, the three tribes were scattered, their communities and extended families flung to different shores of the 200-mile-long Lake Sakakawea.
This is what your freedom and democracy is built on.

pleaseplease please Beyond The Spiderverse, don't go down the same path Arcane did. PLEASE focus on finishing your fucking story instead of churning out garbage in favor of shipping content.

Only day you can reblog this
this audio unlocked core memories within me
*writes two paragraphs after months of literally nothing and it took three hours*
and honestly? i don't think Peter B deserved to be on the rooftop with the Spider-Gang at the end. He didn't do shit in ATSV besides playing in Miles' face and bullshitting. I kinda wished he'd sit out before the rescue in BTSV and let his actions marinate.
Wanna know why I don't like Peter B.?
Because when Gwen was actively forced into homelessness in front of him, he literally didn't help at all. And then it gets framed on JESS.
Gwen asks for help. And Peter says this:
Jess asks him to stop talking.
And from this moment forward, Peter makes no effort whatsoever to help Gwen.
Mind you. This is AFTER Miles' escape. After the whole 'shocked Peter' gif. Peter knows Miguel is willing to get violent.
But that line is his only attempt to help.
Even as he watches Gwen be fully restrained and physically forced into the machine. He stands there and watches.
He doesn't try to web her. He doesn't try to stop the machine or talk to Miguel. He stands there in silence. Watching Gwen get sent home to a universe he knows she is homeless in.
And the movie just lets him. Despite the fact he's known Gwen longer than anybody in this room.
Instead, Jess is the only mentor at fault. We're told to blame her.
During this scene we never pan to Peter, standing there literally motionless as Gwen gets dragged away. He's not panicking, or trying to talk Miguel out of it. We're just expected to absolve him of blame.
It's Jess' fault. Jess is her 'failed mentor' - despite the fact that Peter has known Gwen longer, is shown to have a better relationship with her, and we're given no reason as to why he wasn't her mentor to begin with.
Jess says this, and we're supposed to judge her for it. While Peter said nothing at all. At most he made a joke and then shut up when he was told.
Jess might've believed she couldn't help Gwen - but what was Peter's excuse? Standing there and watching this happen? He doesn't feel the need to do anything, say anything, or even leave the room.
For him, watching this is fine. And Gwen NEVER confronts him about it.
We're not supposed to blame Peter for letting Miles and Gwen down, repeatedly.
Even when Gwen is being physically forced into homelessness in front of him.
We're told to blame the black woman when the white man who has known Gwen longer literally stands beside Jess motionless.
Had Hobie not left Gwen the watch - We're left to assume that Peter would've just... let her be homeless in her dimension.
He watched her get sent home, said nothing, then went home to his wife and kid to ponder whether or not he was a bad mentor.
Not if Gwen was okay. Or whether he should go check on her????
That's NOT OKAY???!!!! THAT'S TERRIBLE!!!!!!! And this is the man we're supposed to be routing for? This, the dude who shows NO signs he was even gonna go and check on Gwen? The dude who lets child abuse go down in front of him TWICE and he just stands there blinking? That's our Peter Parker?
And I'm supposed to be thrilled to have him on the team??? Despite the fact Gwen had to come TO HIM. NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND???? Gwen doesn't see a problem with that?????
I'm supposed to be happy he's here? Forreal???
Oh joy. Thank you so much, Humbling Reality Spider-man. We love you.
I hate Peter B. ALL MY HOBIES HATE PETER B. (Not a typo)
