Hot take: the Spiderverse movies are quite possibly the most relatable superhero movies I’ve ever experienced because I’ve never seen a superhero movie nail the ‘being queer and closeted’ experience down to a T
Like the AMOUNT of experiences they get down so well is just
- not feeling accepted anywhere, even within your own community sometimes, feeling like a mistake no matter where you go
- hiding half your identity from your parents (I swear to god that scene where Miles is about to tell Rio he’s Spiderman in ATSV is literally me trying to come out to my parents and chickening out, it hurt to watch)
- fearing rejection from your parents (“Dad, do you really hate Spiderman?”)
- finding out the people you look up to and trust wouldn’t accept you and would actually try to harm you and the sheer terror that comes from it (god the Prowler reveal in the first movie still hurts me)
- gravitating more and more towards friends who are also queer because they get you (aka the spideys from different dimension just gravitating together)
- just. having a secret identity, in general
- the underlying theme of the movies that despite anything, despite the world rejecting you, despite your own community rejecting you, you are valid and you are loved and you should never forget that (which is not an inherently queer experience but g o d)
I could go on, but. Just. Dammit, these movies mean so much to me.
"Still...I am sorry you were born, child. I have brought you a hero's fate, and a hero's fate is never happy. It is never anything but tragic."
GOD I WAS ALWAYS GOING TO LOVE PJO
BUT instead of bitter exes they are still so in love with each other it hurts, they don't hate each other, even if they wanted to they just can't, they're simply two poor loving and devoted soulmates doomed by the narrative where fate ripped them apart
Help me prove a point
when no one has written the exact fic to scratch a very specific emotional itch and you absolutely do not have time to write it yourself but you still want to read it dammit
Grief hunts Peter Parker all the time, it seems the world can't let him be happy. And sometimes that becomes too difficult to deal with.
(Or I've had a song on repeat in my head for days and I took the opportunity to practice my writing)

This is my first fic in english!
I know nwh its not the movie of the moment, and I really wanted to do something about atsv, but I got more inspired by this one since the song has been in my head rent free for days. I will try to make an atsv fic (with most likely found family), but I don't promise anything.
Either way enjoy my fic, and feedback is always appreciated!

op: "i really don't mind-" zeta: "Do Not enable him"
sort of a sequel to this? a lot of people really wanted op to get a hug and i support that. so does prima. zeta isn't really against it, he just wishes prima would at least try to stick to the schedule for primus' sake-

Sorry for the bad quality of the image! I made it while I was in class.
I'm not that good at drawing, but at least I can draw a little bit, so I tried to made my Spider-Sona. I'm very indecisive and bad at superheros suits designs that almost every time I draw him, I do it with a different suit and style, plus my art style is not very stable, but this is the suit that I draw the most and I like it too, so.
Most of the concept of them and his suit is based on the inotopia superpower. So I add four extra eyes to the suit, even though he just has two eyes irl. They also draw eyes on their hands for the same reason. And I think he would carry some sticker with drawn eyes with himself, plus a pen.
I didn't colored it because I'm really really bad at that, but the suit should be black or dark grey with the web pattern as a dark red (although I'm still debating the colors).
They are a salvadorean transmasc aroace, and goes by he/they pronouns!
I still don't have a name but I will maybe named him Spider-Eye or something.
I did this mostly for fun, but feedback is always appreciated!
(I'm not that good at making image descriptions, so if I failed to explained it in an understable way, I apologized)
