Parents Think It's A Sin For Their Children To Disobey Them. Parents Think It's Okay To Assault Their

PART TWO

I keep thinking of Muriel as Janet in The Good Place, when Janet is all glitched up and keeps bringing people cacti instead of whatever else they asked for, but she's so sure she got them the right thing and eventually everyone else just accepts the cacti.

I'm sick of how people write medic. I've been reading alot of tf2 fics lately and I never like how he's written. He's aways an all business, married to his job, paper pusher with a screw loose. Like honey a screw loose? The screws are gone!!! He's a maniac! He's not a no nonsense paper pusher, he's a mad scientist who loves his job!! He's a giggly bitch! He's plays plays the squeez box! He loves dancing! He's a loving father of Pidgins! He put a man's soul in a jack o lantern for shits and giggles! He stole a whole ass skeleton out of a living patient! He lives in an abandoned hospital! He isn't a all business no fun weirdo he's clinically insane and a silly guy with recorces to fule his experiments!

tell me more about miguel and how they did him dirty

Miguel O'Hara aka Spider-Man 2099 was a part of the 90s Marvel effort to create future and edgy heroes for the 1990s. There were heroes like Doctor Strange 2099 and Hulk 2099, but Spider-Man 2099 is the only one who kept any real interest past the 1990s.

His origin comics were the first three issues of his 1992 run. We open with Spider-Man of the future! He's cool, in a black and red suit (yes the inking just looks off, it was originally black and red.) In the year 2099, Alchemax, the company everyone remembers from Into the Spiderverse, owns nearly everything. Including the cops. The police are no longer state owned, but instead owned directly by the corporation itself. It's also implied very early on that the US government in 2099 is ALSO owned by Alchemax.

Pictured above is Miguel O'Hara.

Lyla, Miguel's holo-agent (who he did NOT make but that's the least of our Spiderverse woes at this point) plays messages for him. It's quickly understood Miguel doesn't communicate, likes to isolate and ignores his problems until he HAS to deal with them.

We find out later in the comic that this man, Tyler Stone, has seemingly drugged Miguel with a drug called Rapture, an incredibly addictive future drug that binds to your DNA and it's impossible to lose the addiction. Tyler drugs Miguel because after all of the really awful scientific experiments and inhumane things Tyler's made Miguel do at Alchemax, Miguel decided to quit. But Stone doesn't want Miguel to leave the company, so he drugs him.

Later, muuuuch later, we find out this guy is his biological dad.

Pretty awful stuff.

This guy is Gabriel O'Hara, Miguel's half-brother. He doesn't trust Alchemax or any of the genetic experimentation they've got going on. He knows his brother is involved, and he doesn't want his brother involved anymore. It's interesting to note that Gabriel, after telling his brother how disappointed he is in him, says he still loves him. But Miguel doesn't want to hear that (super well-adjusted not depressed man here, you see) and turns it off.

Miguel in the comics is a geneticist and studies biology. He famously doesn't do well with technology. And so what solution does he find to his drug problem? Biology.

(You can see how saying he's an unnatural Spider is going to start being a problem. At least, depending on what your definition of the word "natural" is.)

In the comic, we flashback a bit to pre-Spider-Man 2099 times to figure out exactly how Miguel got like this.

Miguel is the head of the Genetics Division of Alchemax and isn't exactly the most popular guy around (he's very self-entitled and self-assured). The entire purpose of their project is to recreate Spider-Man in the year 2099, to become the perfect lapdog to Alchemax to keep the city in "order."

Miguel O'Hara at this point is pretty much the worst of the worst, tbh.

Sure, Miguel wants to genetically recreate Spider-Man. But they aren't ready for human subjects, and Tyler Stone and his co-worker Aaron Delgato (actually kind of important for later) push ahead on the project. Long story short, their test subject dies and Miguel quits.

Tyler doesn't like that so he drugs him.

Miguel doesn't want to be addicted to Rapture the rest of his life, or at Tyler Stone's mercy either, so he decides to try to rewrite his genetic code to get rid of the Rapture addiction.

Delgato, who hates Miguel, was also still in the lab, and decided to rewrite his DNA even further to put him as half a spider. His intention was to kill him, but Miguel survives and becomes genetically half-man, half-spider.

Across the Spider-Verse seems to directly go against this both with whatever drug Miguel is injecting into his system and the fact they say he cannot shot organic webs, but instead tech-based ones. This would lead us to assume his talons and fangs are also a result of his "Spider" potion.

When in reality, Miguel now permanently has fangs, and has to mumble whenever he talks to loved ones. He CAN retract his talons, but only if he's actively thinking about it. He shoots organic web out of the top of his wrists. Those fangs? He can paralyze people with them, just like a spider bite could.

So with more and more confirmation that this adaptation of Miguel is not "really" a spider, it shows how little time they took to look in his comics.

It's concerning as well because it seems as if the only backstory they want for him is the made-for-the-movie daughter, and not his brother (pictured above), his mother or even Dana or Xina, two of his love interests/childhood best friend in Xina's case. It shows us that there many not have been any research into the character besides seeing that he can be a "scary" adversary to Miles.

I'm also going to link a previous post I made about Miguel and Gabriel's home life and domestic abuse that directly impacts how Miguel interacts in his world, and probably how he engages with the other Spiders. If it was at all discussed.

Soldier, do you know that the ridged edges of a ritz cracker is actually intended to be used to cut cheese

Soldier: [stares at the letter and then gets up to go into the kitchen and get out the box of crackers from the cabinet, staring at it for a while before muttering to himself] ..I could turn this into a weapon.

#THIS

I'm sorry I saw this tweet and didn't have enough room to scream on my priv.

Dream literally did nothing other than suggest blowing up L'Manberg during the Revolution until Tommy's exile. And look at how that went. After Tommy's disc finale he sat and rotted in a prison, not answering people, and existed ENTIRELY as a plot device people had to drag him to do every few months.

LITERALLY THAT'S ONE OF THE WORST PARTS OF THE SERVER. He took up being the big bad, then didn't answer people and locked himself in a prison and stalled lore and delayed things and just fucking sucked. And his important role in most people's lore could have easily been replaced by a cardboard cutout after exile ended.

BBH paid for the server. People were already getting bored as fuck when Wilbur joined. Do people seriously forget how quickly vanilla Minecraft servers died back then? Literally the introduction of L'Manberg gave people something to do other than walking up the same wooden path over and over.

Bait used to be believable. I'm sorry if you think that guy was a good actor you literally never watched Wilbur or Charlie or Quackity. I never cared for Techno's 4th wall breaks, but you can't compare a single monologue Drm made to ANY of Techno's. The amount of crazy good and memorable lines everyone else had in comparison is hilarious. He wasn't even the best actor on the Dteam and one of those dude's slept through the whole story.

THE PRISON WAS THE WORST ARC THE SERVER HAD AND WAS AN EYESORE TO LOOK UPON

Fuck that guy. He wanted to be the villain and then would fucking retcon and change shit to make sure his guy never lost. Even when the story would try to frame something as a loss for him his ass would come back months later and go UM ACTUALLY like he's the fucking JK Rowling of Minecraft Roleplay.

YOU MOTHER HUBBARD.

joking that an adult character who acts childish doesnt know what sex is will never be as funny as saying the same thing about a big tough murderman videogame protag

“Did you see the way that little girl looked at me? Kids. Little kids. They grow up believing that they can be a hero if they drive a sword into the heart of anything different. And I’m the monster? I don’t know what’s scarier. The fact that everyone in this kingdom wants to run a sword through my heart or that sometimes I just wanna let ‘em.” “We have to get you out of here. Over the wall. We won’t stop until we find some place safe, okay? We’ll go. Together. No matter what we do, we can’t change the way people see us.” “You changed the way you see me... Didn’t you?
