Speaking of Miguel, I thought I had no idea what was driving this man to keep moving forward. BUT:
Peter had Uncle Ben and Aunt May, who loved him, raised him well, and said something that Parker would remember all his life as a mantra. As for Miguel, he has no one. Literally no one who cares about him and whom he loves. Parents are pieces of shit, the biological father is literally the worst enemy, the brother is canonically dead, the second half-brother is another enemy, one girlfriend is gone forever, the other died because Miguel could not save her, he will never be able to see the third one again, as with their son, the daughter disappeared along with the whole alternate universe.... Good God, everything he touches is dying.
"With great power comes great responsibility," Peter has been telling himself all his life. "With great power comes great guilt," Miguel is sure. Because always, no matter how hard he tries to do something good, it is not enough, and he loses people close to him, and the world does not get better.
And if no one told him wise thoughts, like Uncle Ben did for Peter, if no one was ever around, if no one raised Miguel to be a good person... Then why is he trying so hard to be one? Why doesn't he try to give up everything, why doesn't he become a villain, why does he continue to help people? Where the hell is this inner core coming from?!
And when I think about it, I have only one idea: Spider-Man.
Miguel lives in the future, in year 2099, but at the beginning of the century, even before the catastrophe that wiped out half the world's population, there was an era of heroes. Spider-Man was one of them, the memory of him is alive even years later, and in the 1992 run, Miguel has Spider-Man comics. The ones he read with his brother Gabriel. This is partly why he will try to recreate these spider superpowers in his project at work at Alchemax.
Miguel remembers Spider-Man, he considers him one of the most outstanding heroes of the past, he literally CRIES when he accidentally encounters the real Spider-Man during his first time jumps. Miguel is a fan of his. For him, Spider-Man is an example of perhaps everything he is trying to achieve. He is a hero, a symbol of hope, which Miguel will never become.
But he keeps trying anyway.
same I'm tired but also giggly because I enjoy things. like happiness
For some reason everyone thinks I'm high when I have never taken any illegal substances, and am just tired.
reposting and tagging noir for you whores (with love) bc I think everyone should draw inspiration from this man and apply it to noir (beat him up more)
Here's this drawing of Harold Lloyd I did that I really like considering the picture I used was the lowest quality I could ask for (dunno why I did that to myself) which is why I did the hand good enough
ref below cut bc yeah, I did make it HD
I want to write a book called βyour character dies in the woodsβ that details all the pitfalls and dangers of being out on the road & in the wild for people without outdoors/wilderness experience bc I cannot keep reading narratives brush over life threatening conditions like nothing is happening.
I just read a book by one of my favorite authors whose plots are essentially airtight, but the MC was walking on a country road on a cold winter night and she was knocked down and fell into a drainage ditch covered in ice, broke through and got covered in icy mud and water.
Then she had a βmiserableβ 3 more miles to walk to the inn.
Babes she would not MAKE it to that inn.
OH THATS GORE!!!!!!! THATS GORE OF MY COMFORT CHARACTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ππππππππππππππππ
