Miguel is Fine, Actually (Being Spider-Man's Just Toxic As Hell)

Before I watched ATSV I said that I would defend my man Miguel O'Hara's actions no matter what, because he's always valid and I support women's wrongs. I was joking, and I did not actually expect to start defending him on Tumblr.edu. But I'm seeing a lot of commentary that's super reductive, so I do want to bring up another perspective on his character.

Miguel wasn't acting against the spirit of Spider-Man, or what being Spider-Man means. Miguel isn't meant to represent the antithesis of Spider-Man. Miles is the antithesis of Spider-Man. Miguel represents Spider-Man taken to its extreme.

Think about Miguel's actions from his perspective. If you were a hero who genuinely, legitimately, 100%, no doubt about it, believed that somebody is going to make a selfish decision that will destroy an entire universe and put the entire multiverse at severe risk - if you had an over-burdened sense of responsibility and believed in doing the right thing no matter what - you would also chase down the kid and put him in baby jail to try and prevent it. He believed that he was saving the multiverse, and that Miles was putting it in danger for selfish reasons. Which is completely unforgivable to him, because selfishness is what he hates the most. And then he goes completely out of pocket and starts beefing with a 15yo lmfaooo he's such a dick.

But why did Miguel believe that? Why did he believe that Miles choosing himself and his own happiness over the well-being of others was the worst possible thing? Why did he believe that tragedy was inevitable in their lives, and that without tragedy Spider-Man can't exist?

Because he's Spider-Man.

Peter Parker was once a fifteen year old who chose his own happiness over protecting others. It was the greatest regret of his life and he never forgave himself. Peter's ethos means that he will put himself last every time, and that he will sacrifice anything and everything in his life - his relationships, his health, his future - to protecting and helping others. Peter dropped out of college because it interfered with Spider-Man. He destroyed his own future for Spider-Man. He ruins friendships and romantic relationships because Spider-Man was more important. If Peter ever tries to protect himself and his own happiness, then he's a bad person.

That is intrinsic to Peter. Peter would not be Peter without it. A story that is not defined by Peter's unhappiness is not a Spider-Man story. If Peter doesn't make himself miserable, then he's just not Peter.

That is a Spider-Man story: that not only is tragedy inevitable, that if you don't allow yourself to be defined by your tragedy then you're a bad person. If you don't suffer, then you're a bad person. If you ever put anything above Spider-Man, then you're killing Uncle Ben all over again. Miguel isn't the only one that believes this - as we saw, every Spider-Man buys into what he's saying. There's no Spider-Man without these beliefs.

Miguel attempted to find his own happiness, and he was punished in the most extreme way. He got Uncle Ben'd x10000. He tried to be happy, and it literally destroyed his entire universe. It's the Spider-narrative taken to the extreme. Of course Miguel believes all of this. Of course he believes this so firmly. He's Spider-Man. That's his story. And the one time Miguel tried to fight against that story, he was punished. And like any Spider-Man, he'll slavishly obey that narrative no matter the evil it creates and perpetuates. Because if he doesn't, the narrative will punish him. The narrative will always punish him. It's a Spider-Man story.

I don't think the universal constant between Spider-Mans, the thing that makes them Spider-Man, is tragedy. I think it's the fact that they never forgive themselves. And Miguel is what that viewpoint creates. He doesn't believe this things because he's an awful, mean person. He believes them because he's a hero. He's a good person who hates himself.

Across the Spider-verse isn't really a Spider-Man story. It's a story about Spider-Man stories. Miguel's right: if this was a Spider-Man story, then Miles acting selfishly really would destroy the universe. But Miles' story isn't interested in punishing him. It pushes back against Peter's narrative that unhappiness is inevitable and that you have to suffer to be a good person. It says that sometimes we do the right thing from love and not fear, and that Peter's way of thinking is ultimately super toxic and unhappy. ITSV was about Miles deciding that he didn't need to be Peter Parker, that all he needed to be was Miles, and ATSV is about how being Peter Parker isn't such a good thing. Miguel shows that. Whatever toxic and unhealthy beliefs he holds - they're the exact same beliefs that any Spider-Man holds. He's a dick, but I don't think he's any more awful a person than Peter is.

TL;DR: Miguel isn't a bad person, he just has Spider-Man brainrot.

Bernie Sanders finally made a statement, on Nov. 4, calling for a "pause" in the bombing. People in the replies are saying "better late than never!" and I don't even know where to start.

The genocide has been going on for almost a month. Over 9,000 men, women, and children have been murdered. Thousands more have been wounded. Members of press and healthcare and their families have been deliberately targeted and assassinated. Israel has been murdering civilians en masse with impunity for weeks, both lying about it and blatantly admitting to it. 100+ Palestinians have been murdered in the West Bank due to settler terrorism backed by the Israeli army.

In an interview, Dr. Ofer Cassif, the Knesset member who was suspended for calling for an end to Israeli violence against Palestinians, revealed that he'd reached out to Bernie months prior to Oct. 7th because of the pogroms being carried out by Israelis against Palestinians which he said would result with an "explosion [of violence]", but received no response.

what the fuck do you mean "better late than never". what the fuck do you mean? the genocide is still ongoing, and, just like Blinken, Biden, and every complicit ghoul, he's calling for a pause. not a ceasefire. a ceasefire is just the start of what needs to happen. but he hasn't even called for that.

"better late than never" what gives you the fucking right to say that? tell that to the 10,000 people who the U.S. and its allies allowed Israel to murder. tell that to the thousands of wounded. tell that to the thousands who have been displaced. tell that to the people of Gaza who have been without food, water, and fuel for WEEKS. tell that to the Palestinians in the West Bank who are being murdered at the hands of settler terrorists. tell that to the Palestinians who were abducted and tortured and released with blue bands around their ankles. tell that to the Palestinians in occupied Palestine who can't reach their families and friends. tell that to Palestinians in diaspora who have seen their families, their friends, their people slaughtered with the full backing and support of the vast majority of western governments and media.

"better late than never" no, it's not good enough. IT'S NOT. there are SO many people around the world - both citizens and members of government - who recognized the injustice for what it was the DAY the bombing started. we owe the Palestinian people so much more than that. "better late than never" the ONLY thing that could POSSIBLY begin to even "make up" for the horrors and injustices inflicted upon the Palestinian people for almost a century is to end the genocide, end the occupation, end the apartheid, end settler colonialism, and dismantle the colonial state. Palestinians deserve NO LESS than total emancipation. Complete liberation. until then, it is not and will never be enough.

#sorry for spiel i just. got so mad. 'better late than never' DO YOU SEE ANY PALESTINIANS SAYING THAT? I WONDER WHY! #also the idea that we can just 'forgive and forget' if a ceasefire is called is insane and out of the question. #there is NO going back to 'business as usual'. we CANNOT and should not expect things to 'how they were before'. #god. i just. USELESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! #also this is not like a total endorsement of cassif idk much about him im adding him in as a means to point to bernie's complicity #as far as im concerned bernie is just as complicit as everyone else. #if you are a bernie fan do NOT @ me i am NOT going to debate on this. #im sure hes not all evil nto all bad but it doesnt MATTER. he is COMPLICIT and that will not change. not for the rest of his LIFE. #people like tlaib and c. bush knew what was what within the first days of the bombing. theres no fucking excuse for his inaction! #AND I SAY ALL OF THIS AS SOMEONE WHO LIKED BERNIE. #📁.zip

i remain sincerely, unshakably convinced that aeron’s one true talent is basketball. he’s 6’5” and built like a scarecrow i know he would absolutely destroy the westerosi bball circuit if it weren’t for the Trauma turning him away from sports towards substance abuse and religion

#euron nefariously sabotaging the ironborn chances of winning the asoiaf nba finals by [REDACTED] #i’m ignoring george’s weird piss thing here #i don’t even think aeron would like basketball. in fact he would hate it #every night he is like drowned god why would you do this to me #why would you curse me with this useless skill #it is his one great wish to retire and become someone’s weird orthodox uncle #but the drowned god spake and to his loyal disciple he said: you must decorate my shelves with sports trophies #so aeron sighs and puts on his gay ass jersey and absolutely demolishes the competition #aeron greyjoy #op #just putting that man in scenarios

What do you think about Evrart Claire? You mentioned you think about him in one of your tags I think.

okay i will first direct to you to trusted mutual @sydmarch for the most in-depth evrart thoughts with the appropriate warning for nsfw lmfaoo

but like. evrart is one of those characters where you have an initial knee-jerk reaction to them and then you kinda have to reevaluate after all is said and done because you get a LOT more context on them as you go.

most shallowly, you're meant to see evrart as the slimy "fantastically corrupt" union (mob) boss who sits in his office embezzling and making others do his dirty work (the hardies as his enforcement, you as his little errand dog, you get the point). however, a first point i want to make is that comparing a justified labor or civil rights advocate group to a "mob" is such a ubiquitous piece of capitalist/bigot rhetoric that it should automatically clue you in to the fact that something else is going on here. also taken in context with the fact that kortenaer poses as a scab to break the strike, further framing the union as a lazy, entitled, unreasonable splinter faction of stupid socialists-- obviously we know that the people who made this game are leftists, so it's not just Ough Unions Bad. there is Something Else Going On! because we are seeing this union strike filtered primarily through the lens of someone who is, consciously or not, a moralintern lackey! even at his most self-aware, calling himself the moralintern's bitch, harry does not have enough awareness of the world and his role in it to recognize how he is being manipulated by the various agendas at play here, and that affects our perception of it.

i think evrart presents as corrupt and weaselly on purpose! again syd has said a lot of this already & i've added some stuff in their tags, but i'll reiterate here for convenience. he is aware of the rhetoric people can use against him and he uses that to his advantage. he's using his personal reputation as misdirection. we see in dialogue that even joyce, an ultraliberal diehard capitalist who obviously dislikes the union, concedes that it was respectable in and of itself before the claires came in:

and we can infer that a lot of that might be because the union was *less effective before the claires took charge*. of course a capitalist will respect an ineffective labor union! but on top of this, the claires' open "corruption" give anti-union people an easy target for criticisms that serve to legitimize the union itself. oh, they say, well, the union is alright, it's just the claires that are ruining it. it's misdirection and it's genius. evrart's reputation isn't a concern if the union is doing its job, right? and here's another thing: i think people will trust open corruption more than they'll trust altruism that seems to good to be true. especially in a world with something like moralism, where this organization has killed millions and will kill *millions more* for a "greater good" that is literally just the status quo. if evrart's corruption is an open secret, as joyce puts it, people feel they can trust him *because* he's transparent about the bad things he supposedly does or supports or whatever. at least he's honest, right?

this makes the juxtaposition of evrart with joyce SUPER interesting, too. i think they both have that 'honest about their bad traits' way of going at people- joyce with her self-aware but relentless ultraliberalism, evrart with his intentionally misrepresented agendas. of the two, i think people tend to like joyce a lot more, despite her and evrart using pretty much the *same exact tactics*, and i think that tendency is largely explained by the intersection of gender and fatphobia and ingrained capitalist rhetoric, but i digress.

yes, the way evrart's little tasks are presented makes them *feel* slimy- you're evrart's peone, you're a little bitch dog running his errands to get a gun you never should have lost to begin with, he knows how to help and he's toying with you- but it's on purpose!! you can be joyce's little bitch dog too and it's not framed anywhere near as scummy. It Is On Purpose. because if evrart pretends to be the "socialist" mob boss, maybe it really does get martinaise the youth center, or enough money to, you know, fix the crumbling buildings that could kill the tenants at any moment. there are genuinely good things he is sincerely trying to accomplish. he is curating his image exactly as he needs it to be to get things done and that's partly why joyce hates him *so much*.

and of course this isn't to say that the claires never do anything wrong. contracting dros to kill the previous union head, for example. if i had to pin evrart's major sin, i think he's an "end justifies the means" type of guy. the other union head candidate needed to die for progress to be made. the fishing village will have to go so we can build martinaise up properly. some people, if not willingly cooperative- like harry- need to be used for their status regardless. we see the union at the opposite end of "for the greater good" as moralism: where moralism wants to stall the world, the union represents ruthless progression. why else the red-vs-blue juxtaposition of the union vs the moralintern and its financial interests? the red banners draped over shipping containers?

#the passivity of 'a blue forget me not a piece of the gray sky' #and the absolute useless resignation of their unofficial motto 'for a moment there was hope' #vs the unyielding demand of EVERY WORKER A MEMBER OF THE BOARD #do you understand. gripping you by the collar DO YOU UNDERSTAND. #also this shit is partly why evrart goes for harry and just shuts kim down every time he tries to interject #evrart knows harry is impressionable in this moment #kim 1) has the potential to talk harry out of sympathizing with the union #and 2) has strong moralist or at least anti-disruption convictions already so evrart knows he can't be swayed so easily #if evrart bothered to do research on harry OF COURSE he looked into kim as well. #saurrr yeah take evrart as you like but he is doing real work you can't deny that #kiwipost #evrart claire #disco elysium #ec meta #gen meta #ask

Why do you somehow think that your words are an objective fact?

(BTW; I have watched your critique of Helluva Boss: The Circus. And I still say it was a bad take and a bad critique. And no amount of "criticism" is gonna change that.)

#if you think the circus episode is good then that's on you man... oof #theres a lot of criticism i left out of that video that i didn't catch later #like the screwed up episode timeline that i discovered #and the poor voice direction #like how blitzo and stolas kids just laugh randomly after staring at a chandelier for some reason #and at the end under the tree #stolas and blitzo legit start laughing like yandere anime girls #you guys didnt say anything funny!!! why are you laughing?????? this is so awkward! #blitzo getting butthurt that he is stolass plaything from the last episode is rendered completely useless and nonsensical after this episod #no amount of simping for helluva boss is gonna change my mind that helluva boss's writing is getting messier the more episodes that release #i mean why do you think YOUR words are an objective fact? #theres just so much to unpack after the circus episode #it messed up everything #helluva boss #stolas #stella helluva boss #stolas helluva boss #octavia helluva boss #blitzo #blitzo helluva boss #ask #octavia's existence is useless #blitzo isnt in love with stolas #and stella is jsut the personification of evil for some reason #and stolas is a weak baby #how did we get here #viv why did you do this! this episode didn't need to exist

I need a completely rewritten teen wolf series with Derek Hale as the main character. I think it would heal me.

#we follow Derek from New York. Laura left for beacon hills. it’s been six years since he was back but he hasn’t heard from her #and hes going stir crazy waiting. he packs up and travels back. it’s almost too much immediately. he still can’t get a hold of Laura #he can’t resist going home. it’s like a natural pull that guides him back. all at once he’s 16 again. staring at the wreckage of his life #deputy stilinski is sherrif now. it’s reassuring in the slightest that the police force seems to have moved on from how corrupt it was #he catches her scent and it’s putrid. bile catches in his throat. he seeks it out. still in denial to what he knows it means. #when he finds Laura it’s like the world ends all over again. he can’t stand to see her like this. he gives her a proper burial. #the best he can do at least #he visits Peter. he’s not the man Derek remembers- so full of fire and cunning. their relationship may have been strained at times. #often Derek felt more like Eve being swayed by the snake than a normal friendship #but this isn’t the sharp tongued uncle who guided him. this is a broken shell. all that remained of his family. he was so lost. #22 but he barely knew how to function without his family- his pack paving the way #Laura handled everything. she got the apartment. she made sure they had food. Derek looks back and feels so useless #he was so lost in his grief. Laura must of felt the same way but she never let them drown in it #she made sure he got his GED. even got him to enroll in community college classes. #he took them online. he never was able to warm up to people the same way. he used to be so full of life. now he just wanted to be left alone #he studied English. never finished his degree. doesn’t look like he ever will now. he can’t go back to Laura and his shared home. #can’t bare to see another shell of a home #he vents to the vacant audience of Peter and his cold fixed eyes #Derek leaves. he wants to promise he’ll return soon #but promises feel costly these days #he decides to go back to the reserve. maybe he can find some clue as to what happened to Laura #someone lured her here. someone who knew them and their history here #his mind went to the worst. Kate. why would she go through the trouble six years later. why wait so long. #Derek couldn’t stomach the thought of facing her. he focused on the woods. the scents were all over the place. #clearly multiple people had been through here recently. two scents were much stronger. Derek follows them #but when he hears the crunch of leaves he realizes why the scents are so strong. they’re still here #he ducks behind some trees. listening in on their conversation. but an echo of their scent catches his attention #he spots an inhaler on the ground. he puts two and two together and swipes it from the leaves. #he comes out once they’re closer. tossing over the inhaler- he figures they’ll leave. dumb kids messing around in the woods #he reminds them this is private property. though that may not be true anymore. he recognizes the scent of a new beta. interesting.

currently reading the atlas six and my current favorite pov is tristan solely bc he is like “everyone here is batshit crazy and im saying that as a guy with insane daddy issues, who was raised by a witch gang leader, and who just quit my job and broke up with my billionaire heiress fiancée to come to a mysterious academic cult” and it’s the realest shit. why is he the most normal. why is he the only one who is phased by anything that has happened so far. also he Fucks (literally)

#IM ONLY A HUNDRED PAGES IN SO BE NICE #like libby and nico (who went to magical nyu btw) are so unphased with murder #and he’s like ‘ik IM unphased about it bc of my Tragic Backstory but why tf are YOU like this #and. Well. #fair question there #anyway almost all of the characters have a body count atp and no one seems to care #murder is a okay ig #either it’s a testament to how messy their backstories are or it’s an oversight by the author #he’s also the only one who doesn’t just. immediately assume everyone else is useless #other than maybe libby #so he’s the least insufferable #i <3 my little gold digger #the atlas six

asljkf saw your tags on the darkners post i made and grinned evilly i hope you know that thinking about that was what initially prompted that post

HAHA OH FUCK

i am so fascinated by darkners and the dark world and how it all works dude. its interesting to think about what happens to those who are deemed useless. can they carve their own meaning out of the life they've been given? or is it truly and entirely up to the lightners, or Other Forces (looks at spamton's man on the phone/gaster). perhaps not, as "your choices don't matter"? spamton's "usefulness" wasn't permanent. he went back to being a nobody, cinderella without a glass slipper.

thats one of a gazillion reasons why i like his relationship with lancer, it gives him a purpose where he's otherwise been unable to find one. he's lancers dad :) somebody needs him. it's not a lightner but Somebody needs him.

rouxls makes me so fucking insane he is so Bizarre and strange and a total joke character (seemingly) but there's depth there. there's depth there guYS I SWEAR THERE'S D-

#liz blogs #deltarune #rouxls kaard #stunfiskz #grins evilly back at you #i just. i LIKE TO THINK ABOUT IT ITS SO INTERESTING #THERE'S SO MUCH POTENTIAL EITHER WAY !!!!!!!!!! #oh no. something something lancer is going to get more attached to queen than rouxls and he's going to realize he lost the one thing he was #good for this whole time. and That is how he truly becomes useless. oh no dont use my funny blue family against me toby oh my GOD #why funny shakespere man one of the most interesting characters in the game

It's so vile of JKR and the people she's boosting to paint Magnus Hirschfeld as some sort of race science enthusiast

The gay jew who was almost beat to death by Nazi thugs in 1920 for being loud about decriminalising homosexuality, women's sufferage, abortion rights, socialism, the horrors of war, suicide prevention for queer people, etc

Who only survived the burning of his pioneering Sexuality Institute because he was abroad and who died in France because he could not return to a homeland that did not acknowledge him as a German

You want to say he's the ~real Nazi~ for holding beliefs that were mainstream science at the time he held them?

Yes, Hirschfeld was a eugenicist, insofar as most doctors were prior to the Holocaust

Yes, he argued that gay people having kids would lead to sickly kids -- as an argument for why society should stop forcing gay people into heterosexual marriages

Hirschfeld was by no means perfect, but smearing the legacy of someone who was specifically, by name, targeted by the Nazis for being a jew, for being gay and yes, for pioneering gender affirming care, as if he was fucking Mengele

That is just fucking evil

(but the people who criticise her are antisemitic homophobes, right?)

#it's also worth noting that hirschfeld was not above bending the truth if he thought that might help his cause (gay rights) #so just because he wrote that thing about gay people having sickly kids in a text targeted at the general public #doesn't mean he genuinely believed that as a medical matter #even if he did if he existed today who would take one look at the data we have access too now and go #'welp guess i was wrong'' #because he does not fucking care about that part lol #it's useful to him as an argument for why society should accept gay people #in a world where same sex couples can have kids together the point is utterly useless to him

The huge irony in The Little Mermaid (1989) essentially being about a teenage girl who desired to be understood by those around her, so she went to a drastically different society in order to achieve that, and it's one of the most misunderstood movies that Disney has ever released. Disney Princess movies already get a bad rap, but this movie, in particular, gets the worst of it. It's truly amazing.

#disney #the little mermaid #meta #disney meta #txt #the reputation this movie has earned thanks to the pretentious dipshits who tore this movie apart for no good reason led to the stupid #useless changes in the dreadful remake #ariel never left her family or the ocean just for a boy she already longed to be a part of the human world #she had a WHOLE SONG about it well before she even laid eyes on him. jesus christ #eric was the catalyst. he was the final piece that united everything #he was like the bridge in this movie. he is a representation of the beauty (literal and figurative) ariel sees in humanity #but she also views him as someone who can understand her. that was the point of his character and the remake did not understand this #listen i know a lot of you are more into the “spiritual twin” kind of couple and that's fine #but they didn't have to have EVERYTHING in common in order for them to like each other #the point of their relationship is that they were indeed from different worlds (again literal and figurative) but he still seemed so close #to her #that was the purpose of his character. the final push for ariel to say “i'm gonna take the risk and go there” #it was about her wanting to be understood and that is precisely what eric provided #the new version just turned him into the male version of ariel which minimizes the point of his character #that's why their way of showing that he would definitely understand her but considering how ariel viewed the human world #she wouldn't have been as excited then lmao #if anything it'd been more logical for her to take eric away from there lmao #i went off tangent #but yes it wasn't just him tho he became a part of that desire. the piece that was missing. the final push

Looking through the transformation page of the zelda wiki (whoever did that I love you thank you for supporting my late night fixations) and NO ONE EVER TOLD ME

Oracle Link, aka Legend, has a ring THAT TURNS HIM INTO HYRULE??!!

WHY - WHAT - IT DOESN'T EVEN DO ANYTHING

Oh the SHENANIGANS

#Legend: why are we being hunted?? #Hyrule: oh they're after my blood lol. It'll be fine we just need to distract them. #Legend (sensing an opportunity to sow some chaos): oh? So if there was... Say... A fake version of you? #Hyrule: I mean that'd be the ideal situation but I don't see how - WHAT #Legend as hyrule: *scuttling out into the open* aw shucks look at that I seem to have been spotted - *SPRINTS* *cackling* #And OBVIOUSLY there'd be fake twin pranks. Everyone swearing they saw hyrule in places he physically couldn't get between fast enough. #Everyone would want a turn but hyrule gets first veto. He finds it hilarious if super weird lol #btw the wiki said the ring transformations were mostly useless but prevented slipping on ice??? And getting eaten by likes #Bizarre but hey #legend of zelda #loz #tears of the kingdom #totk #tloz #the legend of zelda #linkeduniverse #lu chain #lu legend #lu hyrule #oracle of ages #oracle of seasons #Pretty sure it was ages but just to be sure
