LOVE when people hate on mcu spider-man because ‘he shouldn’t be friends with/the pseudo son of a billionaire 😡’ as if literally every other iteration of peter parker hasn’t had sex with harry osborn in the osborn mansion like okay. at least the mcu billionaire just wants to keep him alive and in school lmao

I want the mcu to simply drop the Osborns in with no prompting and just insinuate that throughout all the spiderman and avengers movies Peter has actually had this entirely other side-plot of befriending/sleeping with rich-kid Harry Osborn that just… hasn’t come up. He did research for Norman one summer and it was really sweet, May’s taken Harry and Peter on vacations, “no Mr. Stark what do you mean you didn’t know about Harry I mention him all the time??? Why would you think I meant a different Harry Osborn???” “Ned you’ve had sleepovers with him how did you not know who he was” anyway I just think that’s funny and the possibilities are actually endless

What's there to explain. It was my blood. I was allowed to have it.

I referred to something as a "real Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra moment" in conversation with someone who has never seen TNG, and let me tell you, that was a real Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra moment

impressive! it's ugly, impractical, gets water everywhere, makes too much noise, and the quote with shit kerning says you don't think music is even real

Imagine mould growing under the plate and having to disassemble the sink to clean it

forget age gaps or differences in rank or whatever the most potently dangerous power dynamic in any relationship is "people like you more than me"

genuinely nothing is more corrosive to love, respect, or trust than the insecurity of forever being second and last in line. of always being the plus one but never invited; always tolerated on their behalf but never wanted on your own. of knowing that nobody's jealousy or admiration is about you at all, only your place at their side. you tell them that you feel like you only exist when you're with them, and they laugh, charmed, but it isn't a figure of speech. it's not enough that they love you best if everyone else loves them better.

okay some people are misinterpreting this as talking about people who treat you like a pity project and like they're doing you a favour by choosing you. this isn't necessarily about relationships made toxic by people who don't value you enough. this is about knowing that you're socially disposable and being unable to accept the love that you're offered because you resent how much your life depends on it.

The reason you can't be the next J R R Tolkien isn't because you don't have the talent, but because you're not the right kind of unwell. Tolkien wasn't bent for fantasy worldbuilding; he was bent for constructed languages, and got into fantasy worldbuilding in order to provide a material context in which to ground the notional evolution of the languages he invented. If you want to be the next Tolkien, you can't start with the worldbuilding; you've gotta find something extremely specific to fixate on, and develop it in such depth that inventing a world to contain it is genuinely the most logical next step.
