The Lonely Spider vs. The Spider Who Is Loved
While Miles and Miguel act as narrative foils to one another, the greatest difference between them is their relationship to their Spider and familial communities and how it affects the balance between their Spider and personal identities.
Miles and Miguel’s connection to Spiderpeople differ based on how these communities influence their Spider and personal identities. Starting off with Miles and his Spider Squad in ITSV, since this is the film that shows Miles’s coming into his own, Miles was lucky enough to instantly gain a Spider community who could empathize with him about their shared Spider identity and the tragic canon events (eg. Uncle Aaron’s death) that only they understand. However, Miles is not accepted due to his inexperience, which leads to Peter B advising Miles to embrace his personal identity to become his Spider-Man. From this exchange, Miles is instilled with the self-confidence needed to take a leap of faith and embrace these two parts of himself, allowing him to get accepted by the Spiders and become his own Spiderperson. For post-ITSV, Miguel seeks out Spiderpeople across the multiverse to recruit to his strike force, essentially forming his own community. But in ATSV, Miguel is closed off from the other Spiders due to his guilt over the destruction of the alternate dimension and Gabriella, although there might be more to it. Miguel differs from the other Spiders as seen in his power sets, personality, and origin story and he likely realized this when creating his Canon Events Theory that streamlines these Spiders’ narrative threads and creates a collective Spider identity based on responsibility and sacrifice, which goes against Peter B’s advice that Spider-Man is based on the individual and Miguel’s own identity considering his deviations. From this revelation, Miguel leans towards his Spiderpersona at the expense of his personal identity, as he abandons his civilian life to focus on his multiverse responsibilities, in order to prove that he belongs to this community and this collective Spider identity. While Miles is influenced by his Spider community to embrace his personal identity to become Spider-Man, Miguel conforms to the expectations set by the other Spiders and thus forgoes his personal identity.
Miles and Miguel’s familial communities also affect their sense of self based on how they help these Spiders bridge their personal and Spider identities. For Miles, his family is his everything as he grew up around good people who love openly and provide unconditional support for Miles as seen. This is exemplified when Jefferson tells Miles that he will support Miles’s use of his inner spark for whatever ventures he aspires towards. Despite having zero knowledge of Miles’s Spider identity, Jefferson’s love for his son transcends that boundary as Miles is moved by his dad’s positive regard for his civilian identity and uses it to further instill his Spider-Man identity, a running theme seen for Miles’s other family members. The fact that Miles is so family-oriented is significant, as most Spiderpeople come from dysfunctional families, showing how his family distinguishes Miles as his own Spider-Man. This gets explored in ATSV where Miles’s Spider identity is challenged after learning that his father is destined to die because by losing Jefferson, he loses the spark that inspired him to become Spider-Man. There’s also how Miles was never supposed to be Spider-Man, enhancing his feelings of being an outcast. However, it’s by taking the lesson Miles learned from his communities, that he must embrace his own individuality, that’s when his self-confidence transpires into hopefulness as he’s determined to not be defined by tragedy and save his family, something most Spiders never believe they could do. Meanwhile, Miguel grew up in an abusive household, with his parents’ love being conditional to his position in an Alchemax-run dystopia. This presents how unlike how Miles’s strong family unit allowed him to cultivate his own identity, Miguel never got to due to his unstable family environment. What best exemplifies how Miguel’s family effect on his personal and Spider identities is when he tries to reveal to his mom, Conchata, that he's Spider-Man and she doesn’t believe he can be a good person, which increases his resolve to be Spider-Man. Similar to Miles and Jefferson’s exchange, Conchata’s words bridge Miguel’s two identities, despite not knowing he’s Spider-Man. But, unlike Miles and Jefferson’s exchange where Jefferson addresses Miles with respect, Conchata looks down on Miguel by using Spider-Man as an ideal he can never achieve, which likely lays the groundwork for Miguel enforcing the collective identity of this title in ATSV as he believes this ideal is the only way to be a good guy. There’s also how at the end of his comic run and likely his current state, Miguel has no familial community as all his loved ones are either dead or left him. Believing there’s no one Miguel can go back to, he zeroes in on more abstract idea of community like the Spider Society and the billions of lives he must protect. Miles embracing his personal identity at the end of ATSV and contributing to his hopefulness contrasts Miguel’s position as he fully taps in his Spider identity and almost loses his humanity considering how brutal his actions were at the end of the film, leaving his jadedness in its wake.
If Miles is the Spider who is loved, Miguel is the lonely Spider. And Miles has the potential to follow this path as well, as seen in the beginning of ATSV where he can’t connect with his Spider friends or tell his parents his secret identity, leading them to grow distant. If the Spiders are potential versions of each other, then Miguel acts as this grown-up, jaded Spider-Man that Miles could become if he didn’t have access to a strong support system and gave into his isolation. Miles would increase his theory of mind once he sees the struggles Miles G in Earth-42 faces, since he lost his father and doesn’t have a community in his dystopian society that he can connect his vigilante identity with other than his uncle. For some parting predictions for BTSV, I hope Miles and Miguel reconcile, which allows them to go back to their home dimensions and to a community of people worth fighting for. In doing so, Miles regains confidence in his Spider identity and Miguel becomes confident in his personal identity, which leads to a balance between the Spider and Man side of their titles. Most importantly, I hope that Miles, Miguel, the Spiders, and the audience learns that the lonely Spider doesn’t have to be lonely and that they will always be loved.

This man is seriously going to get another glow up and my god does he deserve it
I saw the piece you made of Miguel in the suit from the comic and I wanted to ask if you saw the teaser for his new suit in spiderverse 3? It’s more red white and gray and I’m wondering if you might want to try sketching it out?
yeess! i know what youre talking about. tbh I think this suit is my fav amongst the other spiderman designs. its just such a cool look to me. in concept art, its shown to be kind of mech-like which I think is interesting. so I'm wondering if in the next movie if it will be like a mech. kind of like a less bulky ironman suit.

Miguel w/an Innocent S/O
Tumblr media
Warnings: Protective Miguel, Slight Yandere Miguel (if you squint), Implications of Smut, Fluff, More Fluff, Spooning, Mentions/Implications of injuries, Insecurity, No Pronouns used for Reader Except 'You'.
Him being fiercely protective of you 24/7.
If someone even so much as looks at you wrong, he stares them down until they either break down and start apologising, or their heart gives out.
You’re the only person he shows any affection to. You’re also the only person allowed to touch him. Period.
He’s so touch starved; please hold him and tell him he’s your big guy :-(
Goes FERAL when you rake your fingers through his hair; his eyes roll into his skull and he can’t help but moan a little, even if the context isn’t sexual.
Don’t bring it up or he’ll punish you for it later 👀.
He finds your innocence both endearing and worrying.
On one hand, you believe in the good of everyone, which, considering how insecure Miguel can be, is what initially drew him to you; your ability to empathise and sympathise with others, to not judge them.
However, he knows people would take advantage of your kind and giving nature.
One time, he found out that one of the Spiders – a Victorian England era ‘gentleman superhero’ – had tossed you a used coffee cup and told you to dispose of it on his behalf. When you tried to say something, to tell him you were busy and had better things to do, he just dismissed you.
Of course, Miguel had seen this. He has eyes on you every second of the day.
You never saw that Spiderman again. Nor did anyone else. All that seemed to remain of him was his suit thrown haphazardly into the storage room, where a great big tear edged with blood was ripped into the chestpiece, the hero’s signature top hat abandoned and crumpled beneath it.
He also broke another Spider-Person’s arm when they tried to steal one of the fairy cakes you’d lovingly baked for him; poured your heart and soul into.
Miguel also growls at people he thinks are looking at you strangely. Full-on bares his fangs like a rabid dog and watches them cower.
He purposely grows his fangs out and lets you play with them.
He’s careful to make sure you don’t get hurt, though, guiding your hands away from the pointed tips.
His guilty pleasure is when you kiss his fangs and tell him he’s “The coolest, most handsome man in the world!”
“Just the world?” He says, smiling, raising an eyebrow. His heart melts in his chest as your smile widens, eclipsing your eyes into crescents.
“In ALL the worlds!” You say, throwing your arms around his neck and hugging him, laughing. He brings his arms, thick and muscular, around your waist and pulls you into him, pressing ticklish kisses into your neck, revelling in your laughter.
Intimacy-wise, Miguel is horrified at the prospect of hurting you.
He’s ever so careful, as if handling glass, holding back his strength.
It’s worth it, though. The strain.
Especially when he hears you mewl and try to hide your face in his chest.
“Oh no, Sweetheart,” he says, tangling a hand in your hair and pulling your head back. His pointed fangs flint as he gives a smile. “I want to watch you like this.”
Loves your gentle kisses – they give him life.
Nothing can get him down when you’re around; especially when you’re sitting in his lap.
Though, issues have arisen as a result of your oblivion to…compromising positions.
More often than not, Miguel’s had to bite his lip and tongue when you shift in his lap, catching him, making his heart start and his breath shutter, electric anticipation jolting through him.
He takes you aside in the bathroom to deal with the issue you’ve unknowingly caused, but you don’t complain. Not that you can with your mouth full.
He looks at you with eyes which have seen the deaths of countless individuals, yet when he finds yours, he sees love and light spanning infinite universes within them. And they give him hope that there is more to life than loss and grief; more to him than his failures.
He revels in the feeling of you hiding behind him whenever you’re scared.
Sometimes he takes you to areas of the facility where he knows you’ll be easily frightened – for example, where captive villains are held – so he can feel your hands tightening around his arm or gripping the back of his suit. It makes him feel useful, like he can take on the world.
And he gets off on being the only person who can truly protect you. But he’d never tell you that, of course.
Loves demonstrating his strength around you. He can pick you up single-handedly and carry you anywhere without so much as thinking of breaking a sweat.
He prefers to be the big spoon, curling around you like a shield and protecting you from the outside world, his warm, broad chest to your back.
Tells you how much he loves you through hushed post-intimacy whispers and soft touches. Shows it through acts of service and the insurmountable adoration that fills his eyes whenever you’re around.
He can’t imagine being with anybody else. He can’t even remember the last time he felt anything save for contempt before you showed up.
And he’ll do whatever it takes to protect you. No cost is too great for the love of his life <3.

Miguel Having A Crush On You Would Include…
Tumblr media
Warnings: Implications of Smut, Obsessive Miguel, Possessive Miguel, Implied Yandere Miguel, Miguel in Love, Vampire Marking, Marking (Kind Of), Fluff, Typical Crush Behaviour, Petnames/Nicknames, No Pronouns used for Reader Except ‘You’.
Him being absolutely OBSESSED with you.
Literally completely feral, down bad, infatuated, etc.
Initially, when he realised he’d started liking you in a romantic sense, he tried pushing you away; tried drowning his feelings in work, missions, Hell – even resolving petty spats between the Spiderpeople at the base. Anything to exorcise this rising feeling of butterflies in his chest whenever you were around. Vulnerability.
However, you were persistent.
You’d bring him lunch whenever you knew it would be a long day in the office for him, telling him that “Even the best superhero needs a sandwich every now and then!”
And by God were your sandwiches phenomenal.
Though he’d never admit it, his heart would skip a beat whenever the door to his office opened, knowing that it could be you paying him a visit with your delectable lunchables, or even just to check in on him. Make him feel special in ways nobody else had or could in years.
Eventually, this turned into a daily affair; one Miguel would watch the clock for, wait for. Long for.
Miguel also tried hiding his feelings when you brought him hand-crafted, love-filled desserts that he just couldn’t bring himself to ignore or throw away. Or, when Miles offered to take them off his hands, let anyone else have.
Eventually, there isn’t a day that goes by where you aren’t with him in some capacity. And it shows.
Whenever you’re late, even only by a few minutes, Miguel can feel his heart spike, asking Lyla where you are, if she can track you, etc.
“Sounds like you liiiike (Y/N)~” Lyla gives Miguel a knowing smile.
Miguel just grunts, ignores her. Though, he can feel the corners of his lips turning up, and hides them behind a well-placed hand, rubbing his temples.
Soft glances whenever you’re in the room, all his attention turning to you and you alone.
He just loves to stare at you. You’re so beautiful that he can’t understand why nobody else passing you has to stitch their dropped jaw back onto their face.
Then again, he is grateful. The fury that bubbles inside him whenever he catches someone glancing at you, gaze lustful, is all-consuming, enough to make his teeth grind, his eyes bleed a light rouge hue, piercing. He makes sure they’ll never cross paths with you again.
Gradually, your warmth and kindness thaws his walls, and, once the floodgates are open, neither you nor he can predict the dark ocean that is to flood your lives.
He doesn’t mean to throw himself full-force into his feelings, but after being so guarded for so long, he just can’t help it.
Becomes overly-concerned with every facet of your life. More so than he already was.
Constantly trying to find out information about you, though being stumped as to how to do so without arousing your suspicion.
Asks Lyla to track you, see what you’re doing, who you’re with, their relation to you.
However, she begins to deny Miguel such luxuries, telling him to “Grow a pair and ask (Y/N) yourself!”
When he realises Lyla is steadfast in her resolve, he does so. Reluctantly.
Though, once he starts, he finds it difficult to stop.
“Where are you going after work?”, “Are you going out tonight with anyone?”, “Who?”
Eventually, you just look up at him, seemingly oblivious to his growing desperation, and say: “Gosh, Miguel, you’re starting to sound like you’re my boyfriend or something!”
His heart stops. His throat dries and he just looks at you, eyes wide.
One second passes. Then two. Then–
“Oh– uh– yeah... I mean, not that that’s weird, right? Unless you think it is weird, then–”
Lyla has to step in and save him from himself, telling him he has ‘urgent business’ in one of the other wings of the facility.
His suit suddenly feels too tight and too hot beneath the collar whenever he has to speak with you alone.
And tight in…other places when his mind wanders to the more intimate aspects of your hypothetical relationship.
Miguel likes to rationalise this as him preparing how best to please you when the time, inevitably, comes for him to claim you, make you his. At least, this staves off the post-nut clarity (guilt) just a little longer when he’s pursuing a release, blasphemous images of you running through his mind.
A good example of this occurs almost nightly, with Miguel thoroughly loving a pillow clad in a shirt he’d lent you once, your scent still woven, though faded, into the fabric.
Many nights, his face is pressed to the cotton of that shirt, muffling his lips and his moans as his teeth sink into your temporary body, extending, marking, hand moving fervently beneath the bed sheets, your name the chant of many a spell of ardour.
You might mistake that red glow on his cheeks for the illumination of the console screens, but anyone who looks close enough knows better.
He loves showing you around the facility. Especially when your eyes light up and you remark how intelligent he is for “Doing this all on your own,”
Any compliment from you makes his heart thrum and his cheeks burn with the urge to smile. And, if it’s only you in his company, he does so.
Maybe even give you a nervous laugh.
You’re the only one he feels comfortable with showing emotion to.
He hopes that his displays aren’t lost on you; that you know him well enough to know that every smile, every laugh, is for you and you only.
And he is determined to, one day, make that smile of yours for him. And only him.
But, for now, he will content himself with daydreams and night ventures into territory not yet known, all the while possessing a seat beside you, being a shoulder for you to cry on, an ear into which you may pour your worries, a hero on whom you can always depend in ways you can’t even begin to imagine.
