this was a recent commission i did! i absolutely ADORE them AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA they're too cute i stg

I lost my cat this weekend. She was about 10 years old. She was my best friend. The light of my life. She made me so incredibly happy and I know I did that for her too. She kept me snuggled every night. One of the first things I would do when I got home from work was scoop her and smooch her. She would purr so loudly.

We were both disabled. Both of us had/have a messed up leg. Some days were better than others, and we both understood each other in ways I don't think anyone else ever could. She loved being brushed. Every time I or my husband would take a shower, she'd be sitting on the counter just waiting to be brushed. She loved laying in the grass outside. Feeling the sunshine and the breeze. She would lay out there for hours sometimes. She loved chicken the most. We would have to share it with her anytime we had it.

I lost my cat this weekend, and this is the first time I've seen this random encounter in months. The universe works in the weirdest ways sometimes.

Austin Spinelli

Codename: Uomo di Sabbia (Based on Sandman)

Spinelli had a difficult childhood. With his dad abandoning him and his mom at a young age, she had to work two jobs just to make ends meet. At school, he was picked on for being poor, often getting into fights and sent straight to the principal's office. He tried to be a good kid, he really did. Spinelli just had a temper like his dad did.

One thing that truly made him happy was sand. From the time that Ma had taken him to French beaches as a little kid, he began making sandcastles and other sculptures with sand. He didn't even mind if some idiot knocked it down, the fun was building it back up again.

The only person he'd never be angry at was his own mom, who he loved and cherished. So when she got leukemia, it terrified him. She didn't have enough money for treatment, and he'd do anything to keep her alive. Anything.

He began stealing money so he could help out Ma. He never told her of course, in case it broke her heart. He was making enough from robbing to at least get her some medication, but she didn't have long to live unless he got some sort of treatment. Eventually, he fell in with a gang and went to rob a BNP Paribas bank. They were stopped by Spider-Bro (Kim), but Spinelli managed to escape. While on the run from cops, he fell into a big vat of sand that was being tested in a particle physics test facility. Being rather careless, the scientists did the test without looking at the camera, causing Spinelli to turn into sand.

Upon reforming his own body, Austin Spinelli figured that he could use his new powers of shapeshifting into sand in order to steal more money for his mom's treatment, and maybe even to buy her a whole new house. All that it got him was numerous battles with Spider-Bro and a ticket to M.A.R.V.E.L.'s reform class.

Unlike the other members of the Sinister Seven, Spinelli doesn't actually hate Spider-Bro. In a weird way, he has to thank Kim for giving him powers, plus he's always loved sand. Still, he thinks the webhead can be a pest for always finding a way to beat him.

At M.A.R.V.E.L. he discovered ballet and it's done wonders for his anger management. He also happens to be dating They (Austin A) despite her being a hero. He shows Spinelli the galaxy and he shows her the beauty of the desert.
