Anyways can’t believe that the GMW Clique Six are already graduating high school, absolutely thriving, and Riarkle and Lucaya are canon.

Spider Man: Into the Spider Verse

This is one amazing movie. Everything was done right, the animation was used to full advatage, the music, the characters, the plot and the storytelling - everything was great, if not completly original, but done in a fresh, dynamic and sincere way. 

Once again it gets proven that the main character doesn’t have to be ordinary to be relatable or interesting. Miles Morales is not another plain, socially awkward guy. No, quite the opposite, he is cool, carefree and confident, has friends, good grades and always a smart joke to offer. He has some quarrels with his parents - but nothing extreme, they love each other very much - just that natural little disparaty between parents pushing thier child to make something of himself and the child just trying to find who he wants to be. It’s relatable to youngsters, but not so overdone yet to be preachy. 

The movie makes an intersting point by showing how parents don’t have to be absent or outright extreme abusers to still make for an engaging influence for their children and how even the best intensions and love don’t make relationships without conflict or strain. Miles’s parents have an actual role in the movie and actually have some meanigful and moving moments.

The characters are plastic, likeable and well-written, acting logical and with understandable motives, flaws and charisma. Mainly Miles is a smart kid doing his best, coming off free and easy, trying to find his way. 

There is uncle Aaron, who without the immediate concern and responsibily of a parent takes the role of a relaxing, charismatic and casual confidant to Miles and later gets and interesing shady plot twist. 

Then we have Peter B. Parker an older version of the typical Spiderman, with a future that took a surprisingly realistic bleak turn. But don’t be fooled, despite the rugged and a bit neglected appearence, he is still the capable hero we know, with experience and abilities you can count on. His start as a teacher is a bit ruff, but he learns step by step, not only winning the sympathy of the audience but also a rewarding development of his student. 

Next we have Gwen, a pretty action girl, taking her superhero role with style and spark. This is not a love story by any stretch, but her presence is powerful and makes for a nice dynamic with Miles. 

All Spidermans have their own distinguished tone and make for a solid, funny and powerful group. Their protectivness towards Miles as the latest Spidey, who still has lots to learn, without derogating his importance is sweet. Their respective fashion, fighting style, personalities and quirks prove great attention to detail and make the ride that much more lively. 

It’s also a great origin story for our main hero, since he has the abilities and the brains, but still needs to belive in himself. This doesn’t sound as a very original conflict, but it’s conveyed very emotionally. Miles faces his challanges with realistic fear and beginner’s incompetence, but still comes off as a strong, determined and moral boy. He struggles, he falls, but he cares and learns - this process is portrayed masterfully in the movie and the final, where Miles accepts all the lessons and finds his inner balance and belief in himself, is that much more satisfying. 

Miles is an incredibly well written character. It’s gratifying to see him not being a meek weakling just to have a bigger contrast for his growth at the end. Miles is cheeky and smart, obviously talented and intelligent with a loving family, but still has enough room to grow, enough obstacles to overcome and enough of the world’s and society’s as well as personal problems to face. Yet he manages to be very approachable, representing modern teenagers and circumstances in a playful and compellig way, making the movie a fantastic experience. 

Yeah maybe I am too old to be watching kids’ shows but many shows made for adults rely on sex and shock value for ratings whereas kids’ shows have to rely on things like artistry, plot, characters, world building, and teaching moral lessons so I don’t think you have a right to judge me

“You ready?”

Ladybug nodded, taking a deep breath to quell the rising tide of nerves that threatened to drown her where she stood. Mayura laid a reassuring hand on her shoulder, giving her a small squeeze as they headed up the wooden stairs and onto the podium Mayor Andre erected in front of his house. Carapace, Queen Bee, and Rena Rouge stood off to one side as she passed, eyes not leaving her as she stepped out of the curtain and into a sea of flashing lights.

“Ladybug, are the rumors true?!”

“Did Chat Noir really betray you?”

“Why is he working with Hawkmoth?”

“How long has he been working against the city?”

“How does this betrayal affect your secret love-child?”

“Are he and Hawkmoth romantically involved?”

“One at a time, people,” Mayura said, holding up a hand to quell the stream of questioning. “Ladybug has something she needs to say, and then we’ll do a quick Q&A session after she’s done.”

Silence fell over the crowd of reporters and onlookers. Mayor Andre stood off to one side, his secretary whispering frantically in his ear. Two kids in black and green cat-print shirts caught her eye as she swept the crowd, looking up at her as though they were waiting for her to deny the allegations she put out the night before.

“Good morning,” Ladybug said, clearing her throat. “I’ve called this press conference to confirm the rumors that Chat Noir has turned on Paris and sided with Hawkmoth in order to steal our Miraculous.”

Silence lingered for another moment before the crowd erupted in a wave of panicked, angry cries.

Mornings were always tough. Forced to adhere to a schedule, being read off plans for the day, and the ever-present fact that his father would rather reside to the confines of his study rather than entertain the idea of breakfast with his son wasn’t exactly up Adrien’s alley. And, he now realized, the seeping feel of anxiety coursing through his veins wasn’t welcomed either. It had been his third time combing through his backpack, and the only item of importance was yet to be found, hands coming up empty every time.

Checking the rearview mirror to notice Gorilla had his eyes still trained on the road, Adrien leaned his head down, close to his backpack and staring down his kwami, who was nestled in a small pile of scattered sticky notes.

“Where are my glasses?” he whispers, hoping not to draw attention.

“No room for cheese,” Plagg responds, shifting in the pile and bringing a small paw to rub at his eye. “Sacrifices had to be made.”

Hand coming up to his face, Adrien bit back a groan. He had decided to skip out on the contacts today, far too annoyed with the dry, burning sensation that resulted when he didn’t apply enough eye drops, and had thought being spotted out with glasses wouldn’t be the end of his career. He had modeled for glasses before – although he would admit that the shoot did not do any favors his way – and had been photographed a few times headed to shows with his frames on. No, certainly there would be little problems resulting if he headed to class in his glasses and saved himself the trouble.

Although, it seemed his troubles were just beginning.

Good morning to everyone, except Netflix who keeps cancelling perfectly good shows for no fathomable reason. Fuck you in particular actually.

au where everything is the same except marinette has black hair and grey eyes and she goes all blue when she transforms and that’s why no one recognises her

Okay so ORIGINALLY… BOTH Adrien and Marinette were going to be Akumatised,,,,, and then I couldn’t think of a way for it to kind of resolve itself without it also being a “Hawkmoth goes down” comic, which means it’d be a “Adrien finds out Hawkmoth is Gabriel” comic, and DUDE that is too much.

So, I hope you like Akumanette!

ALso yeah I did just trace a picture of hawkmoth in that last frame gimME A BREAK
