ok fine long post under the cut about the sm2099 AU. not coherent at all i'm just rambling and needed to get some Basics out of the way heehee hoohoo

(#1 goes exactly the same and ends exactly the same, with miguel emerging from the machine as half Pider)

so aaron doesn't shoot at miguel. which means the side of the building never explodes and miguel never escapes by jumping onto the skykite. aaron, being a vindictive little asshole, immediately runs off to tell on miguel and kind of just leaves him there to adjust to his vision

miguel knows that Something Bad is going to happen to him because he's the first human trial that didn't end horribly and alchemax won't let that get away so easily. so he gets his shit together and gets to babylon towers as fast as he can. the trip back was not a pleasant experience - he essentially experiences sensory overload - and he's a wreck when he gets back.

he knows what happens to people alchemax wants. he knows he'll lose his apartment and everything in it since it's all alchemax property, except for one thing. he throws together this super disjointed, cobbled-together message and sends it to gabriel using lyla. in it he tries to explain what happened as best as he can, and also lets gabriel know that he has to get lyla out as soon as possible. he removes all security protocols from the apartment and tells lyla to shut herself down <- this is very sad for both of them. they will not see each other for a long while after

tyler and some public eye officers show up at his place shortly after and escort him back to alchemax. on the way there, tyler explains to miguel how because he's such a valuable asset and proof of how the raider program can work, they can't let their competitors find out about him. he has miguel's records scrubbed clean from the system, essentially erasing him from existence. (tyler also goes and tells dana and gabriel personally that miguel is dead due to a lab accident. dana believes him but gabriel, after retrieving lyla and miguel's final message, does not)

the docs take place during the time miguel is held at alchemax. he tries to make the scientists working on his case as miserable as possible until he realizes he needs to put in energy into making an escape plan. he still makes things hard for them tho

meanwhile gabriel is also panicking trying to figure out a way to get miguel out of alchemax. he kind of hits a dead end when lyla starts acting up and AI isn't his specialty but he knows someone who's real good at it and HERE COMES XINA KWAN WITH A STEEL CHAIR!!!!!!

miguel does escape btw do not worry. he has to deal with the repercussions of being let down by the organization that's raised him his entire life, the trauma of being considered an un-person for quite some time, and the inherent dehumanization his mutations bring him. there is miguel trying not to be emotionally stunted. there is gabriel learning to be his own person. there is xina finally figuring out what really happened to the heroic age. there is xinamiguel. and miguel does kill tyler at the end

#entries #that textbox from issue 21 has stuck with me since the first time i saw it #anyways if you did read all of this i love you. bye [leafs #condemnation of memory

literally all of these songs are instrumentals, mostly because i've been writing a lot recently and i can't listen to anything with lyrics while doing so. which is to say, this isn't really an accurate representation of everything i listen to. 😅

i actually don't "know" any of these artists (as in, i don't know any of their other songs) with the exception of gidge, who i've been following for awhile.

"About the Blogger" Meme

Thanks for tagging me @currymanganese! ❤️ sorry i'm doing this super late ugh

Star Sign(s):

virgo sun, pisces moon, capricorn rising (i can list my entire chart if anyone is interested lol)

Favorite Holidays:

i'm not religious but i absolutely love christmas. my favorite time of year and favorite holiday. i get depressed whenever it's over and i have to take the decorations down.

Last Meal:

i think a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. i was craving it lol

Current Favorite Musician:

lana del rey and kendrick lamar! i listen to a lot of music and all different genres, but those are my go to. there's something about fantastic writing/wordplay and production across both of their genres that just inspires me and transports me to a different place when i listen.

if anyone is interested, my spotify profile is here: (x)

When the Tigers Broke Free by Pink Floyd

The Wall is one of my favorite albums!

Last Movie Watched:

Everything Everywhere All At Once

i'm so glad i finally got to watch this movie, it was incredible. although watching it with my boomer dad at parts was awkward (aka the butt plug part lmaoooo)

Last TV Show Watched:

oh man, still trying to finish Succession, my husband is dragging his feet with it even though we both are enjoying it. finished The Boys almost 2 months ago, need to start Gen V soon. i'm bad at finishing shows, unless they're mini series.

Last Book/Fic Finished:

i recently reread Concrete Rose by Angie Thomas, the prequel to The Hate U Give. i haven't finished any of my fics in awhile, except for the two mini requests from my friend @chrissymodi-frost.

Last Book/Fic Abandoned:

oh boy... i've got quite a few i'm struggling to get through... just look at my ao3 and you can see how bad my writer's block has gotten lately :(

Currently Reading:

rereading The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas <3

Last Thing Researched for Art/Writing/Hyperfixation:

i graduated in may 2023 with my art history degree, so i was deep into ancient egyptian history and art, and had to write a hefty 20 page paper on german painter Albrecht Dürer. my most recent hyperfixation was the uncharted games again, so while writing i was researching the Hoysala empire

Favorite Online Fandom Memory:

first joining tumblr and meeting so many friends on here. but i'll tell you back in 2013 when the citadel dlc for mass effect launched, that was an incredible build up and very fun few months.

Favorite Old Fandom You Wish Would Drag You Back In/Have A Resurgence:

not really an "old" fandom, but i was HEAVY into spiderverse over the summer, met some great mutuals through it. i still spiderverse, but don't feel as fixated with it at the moment. the fandom was kind of annoying with some people's think pieces, not gonna lie, and kind of turned a few of us off from it. i'm sure it'll have another "resurgence" when the next movie Beyond the Spiderverse comes out!

Favorite Thing You Enjoy That Never Had an Active or Big "Fandom" but You Wish It Did:

most recently the movie The Creator! movie was so visually stunning, with great/powerful themes, and one of my favorite tropes: found family (kinda) with a father/daughter dynamic. not enough people liked it/saw it which sucks, so the fandom is pretty much non existent for it. i want more art and fanfics from it! i'm going to be buying it soon, that way i can get inspirited and hopefully create more for it!

Tempting Project You're Trying to Reign In/Don't Have Time For:

i was working on creating a real-life version of nate's notebook from uncharted 4. it's taking a lot of time, and is quite an undertaking so i had to take a break from it. i do want to continue it though!

no pressure tags (sorry if you were already tagged!): @mothertodaughters, @chrissymodi-frost. @malabadspice, @not-those-kids, @durrtydawg, @lilylavender, @lilsnatch, @libertatias, @xinamiguel, @georgieluz, @distantsonata, @soft-girl-musings (and anyone else who wants to! sorry i'm trying to remember all my moots tumblr names)
