peter watching ned's life through videos tossed out into the void of the internet while ned was simultaneously and unknowingly building the technology to watch him back.... a hero watching out for the little guy and a guy in the chair keeping tabs on his hero.....

Jean scouring NYC to find out what v-max means only to discover it was just so pointless. it wasn’t a weapon or an experiment, it was just the last fucking thing her sister saw on an air vent before she died. Sarah died and she thought to send the last thing she saw to her sister. heartbreaking.

“I’m just so glad that the sad man has friends.”

That’s what she had said. Yelena had said that and suddenly everything else came flooding back.

“There was someone, but I had to let her go. To keep her safe.”

“I lost someone.”

“This is the most fun I’ve had in years.”

MJ really should be doubting herself here. What kind of person spends four years completely isolated?

The kind of person who writes a letter he’s never going to read. That’s who. The self sacrificial idiot who got himself shot trying to save the person who was terrorising him. The same idiot who hasn’t shown his face in the past two weeks.

So, with the help of Ned’s computer skills they get Yelena back on the phone, and with her government access and a side comment about Spider-Man declining her invitations to the tower, MJ had an address.

And she checks that address six times before finally concluding that yes, this idiot lived in the most run down building of all time. And yes, this idiot lived in the attic that was completely on its own. And yes, this absolute idiot had a sign on the door so he didn’t even have to talk to delivery drivers.

She knocks with more force than necessary, probably.

And Peter opens the door quicker than she expects, panicked eyes racking up and down as if she’s carrying something dangerous.

“Are you okay?” He asks, breatheless.

And now that they’re up close, she can see the bags under his eyes, the cuts on his face and the bruises on his neck.

“You didn’t call,” she says, pushing past him and into the apartment. Cupboards are left open displaying the empty shelves, clothes strewn around the floor. There’s an unmade bed in the corner and no couch. It smells stale and old and she is going to kill this idiot.

“I didn’t— Woah, hang on.” And Peter finally has the gall to sound embarrassed. He should be. This place is horrifying.

“You can’t just disappear!” MJ says, voice dangerously close to breaking because Peter was supposed to go to college with them. He was supposed to have a life.

“I— I didn’t think you wanted anything to do with me,” he says, though it’s more of a question.

“What, just because I friendzoned you?”

Peter seems to stumble at that point. “You wanted to be friends still?”

MJ rolls her eyes, trying to hide the glassy shine, before bulldozing Peter into a hug. He took a few seconds to even realise what was going on, and that just made her hold on even tighter.

She’s going to love this idiot back to life if it’s the last thing she does.

are non brits aware of count binface.

[mephostophilis]

to give some entirely bizarre context, nigel farage (extreme cunt) has stepped down from his position as MP for clacton (due to a scandal where he received £5 million from a crypto billionaire that could have been laundered) only to run again so that he can prove people like him. and the only person running against him is count binface. who has been a staple of british politics for many years. and now the british press is forced to interview him seriously while he sits there with his binface.

was not expecting spiderman bnd to be ned & peter's love story? true love's handshake is now? canon?

[onetimetwotimesthreetimess]

something something about peter’s age in brand new day. something something about him being stuck in a limbo. Being too old to be part of the young avengers (ms marvel, Kate, America Chavez, maximoff twins, Cassie lang - if marvel ever did do a young avengers thing), has seen too much tragedy, been part of too many fights bigger than a teenager should’ve been part of, but also he’s too young to be part of the avengers too. he’s a kid to most of them because they saw him as a kid first (they might not remember Peter but they remember spiderman ig). He’s not a teenager. he’s an adult but he’s also not. he’s ideally in a limbo!!!????!??!!!! Peter always wanted to fight the big fight in CW and endgame, to grow old but also to just be a teenager and he somehow can’t do either now. something something about the tragedy that is peter parker in brand new day.

jean grey is living in some tiny town in fuckass upstate new york and at least twice a month peter parker calls up det. dewolff and is like "i gotta take a break" and she's like "good do it more" and peter takes the two hour bus ride to that tiny town and she's waiting at the station and they do a dramatic reunion even though it's barely been two weeks since they last saw each other and peter messes up her hair and then they go back to her little house and order take-out from one of the two shitty restaurants within an hour radius and eat it on the couch while talking about whatever happened while they were apart. i know because they told me personally.

[breakingthe4thwalll]

i think the new spider-man was such a beautiful movie because it wasn’t about another huge multiversal/“big potato” crisis. it was about being human.

there are so many themes woven into it. maturing through loss. accepting every version of yourself, no matter how much you change. learning to let the people around you help instead of carrying everything alone.

i think that’s why spider-man has always been the people’s superhero. he’s the most down-to-earth one. we relate to him because he struggles the same way we do. one way or another, a lot of us grew up with a spider-man, whether it was Tobey, Andrew, or Tom. and there’s something so comforting about seeing someone with incredible power still having to deal with ordinary life, grief, loneliness, relationships, and simply trying to figure out who they are.

this movie left an imprint on my soul in such a healing way, the same way the new superman movie left me with this quiet hope that things can get better. i love superhero stories that remind you that saving the world is important, but learning how to live in it is just as heroic.

Scattered thoughts after getting home from Spiderman: Brand New Day

- loved it

- the amount of fanfiction tropes in this is crazy

- do you think dewolff realizes she's been adopted as Peter's closest thing to a living parent?

- too agreeable people are always evil, we know this

- loser by tame impala playing while Peter follows Ned home, specifically the lyrics "I lost composure" which was like one of Peter's issues throughout the movie

- "We'll use the power for friendship" as a person who wants more media to emphasis the importance of platonic relationships as just as and sometimes more important than romantic, thank you

- appreciate yelena talking about online conjecture about Spiderman's sexuality. Felt kinda meta.

- don't worry, I did cry. I've never not cried in a Spiderman movie, and the streak continues.

- Frank's face after realizing Peter took the bullet

- the end credits felt like what you might see in a slice of life romcom set in NYC and it was great

- the return of Spiderman/NYC

- you may not have been born this way, but love yourself today

- the Spiderman ao3 had better be hopping

- I want more Peter and Jean

More to follow probably
