As someone who does bouldering and is often called Spider-Man when I climb, I second this
Like that shit is RIGHT UP HIS ALLEY. You got any idea the kind of muscles you get from that shit? The body control and the grip strength you get from doing that on a regular basis? Sure he's Spider-Man and can just stick to the rocks and he's already got super strength but just for a moment imagine with me Peter finding a tiny space in the rock climbing community that's just like:
"Hey kid your form's looking a little off, if you do it this way you wont strain your arms as much and it'll be easier to hold for longer."
"Gee thanks, I appreciate that!"
"Anytime bud!"
And then later finding out that the habits he's picked up means he's less tired while climbing around on patrol?? Or maybe it'd even be a good excuse for how he can climb up to random places that a normal human can't!
"Hey how'd you get up there?"
"Oh I rock climb."
"Understandable. Have a nice day!"
And just imagine Peter being an absolute LEGEND in the gym he goes to. Some random kid that shows up every other week, free climbs three of the hardest routes in a single go, calls it a day, and leaves.
And okay let's not even include the idea that he'd practice techniques, but dont you think it'd be a nice getaway for him? A place where he can just climb over and over and maybe just maybe he finds a calm meditation while doing it? He can scurry around on the walls in a space that's acceptable for him to do so and it wouldn't be weird for him? And maybe just maybe if the employees there notice how freakishly fast he climbs the routes, what if they just mind their own business and leave him to it.
this is a place where he can scurry and be spidery and climb shit without anyone batting an eye
*blows up jingleballs from washingmouth*
I wanna hit him with a cartoonishly large hammer
oh my god the DETAIL!!! like the nails?!?! showing so much of their character even with just that. you're incredible
Part 01, Part 02, Part 03
OKAY OKAY, now that we’re at this point, I can tell more of the story. As you guessed, this is Curly going back in time after his ass got frozen in the cryopod. Problem is, after having spent months unable to be alive, he's struggling to jump back in the grind (he kinda forgot how to fonction as a human)
Second complication in the mess of his life is : he's not the only lucky guy who got a second chance (?)

I'm back, yeahhh🧌🫡
I'm sorry for all this waiting, I'm indeed continuing this little project, it's not done (I would say so if I were to discontinue it don't worry) For the people still here, well thank you all for all your kind words regarding my work and have fun reading that one! I progressed a lot since I started this so it took me quite some time to be satisfied with this part🫡
"You're losing blood" no I know exactly where it is. The floor. Don't ever underestimate me.
"Do you ever dream of land?" The whale asks the tuna.
"No." Says the tuna, "Do you?"
"I have never seen it." Says the whale, "but deep in my body, I remember it."
"Why do you care," says the tuna, "if you will never see it."
"There are bones in my body built to walk through the forests and the mountains." Says the whale.
"They will disappear." Says the tuna, "one day, your body will forget the forests and the mountains."
"Maybe I don't want to forget," Says the whale, "The forests were once my home."
"I have seen the forests." Whispers the salmon, almost to itself.
"Tell me what you have seen," says the whale.
"The forests spawned me." Says the salmon. "They sent me to the ocean to grow. When I am fat with the bounty of the ocean, I will bring it home."
"Why would the forests seek the bounty of the oceans?" Asks the whale. "They have bounty of their own."
"You forget," says the salmon, "That the oceans were once their home."
I understand the point of this, but i couldn't help but think "English teachers defending the most boring thing imaginable after forcing us to read it"
To YOU it’s bad writing. To ME it’s a very nuanced piece of work that explores subtle intricacies without outright saying it. And also it’s bad writing
Nelson and Murdock by Dave Bardin
Spot the difference with the few changes I made that really freshened up the piece /j
a drawing I just did that I will not be finishing because I don't want him naked but I don't want to cover the arms because I like them
