and better

oh dang who’s that

OH AND THIS LIL GUY

Like, I'm not saying that this is a good thing, but it's kind of bleakly entertaining how over the course of my life my skill set as an online researcher has gone from being:

1. Hugely valuable in the late 1990s and early 2000s because the discoverability of information in public-facing databases was fucking terrible and nobody knew how to organise anything; to
   
2. Effectively useless throughout the 2010s because search engines enormously and rapidly improved and computer literacy was at an all-time high; and
   
3. Back to being hugely valuable once again because SEO bullshit and the proliferation of AI-generated content have degraded online discoverability back to pre-2000 levels and computer literacy is in accelerating decline due to mobile devices deliberately obfuscating basic functionality so that app vendors can sell it back to you with embedded advertising.

It's always interesting when my posts about technical writing end up doing numbers on librarian Tumblr. I guess we have something in common!

Wait, which series does Miles Morales first appear in? All these different series are so confusing

Ultimate Spider-Man, in the universe of the Ultimate imprint. It was the best of the Ultimate series.

Cool 👍

man, what the fuck

This is the most accurate post about getting into comic books I have ever seen.

When I first watched ATSV I thought Miguel's backstory was "my family (which had died in my universe) was alive in this other universe, and the me from that universe just died, so I took his place to be with my family again (who then, of course, all died in the glitch-fest)"

And like, damn imagine going from your "I couldn't save them" guilt in your universe to "I got them killed" guilt in the other universe. That would understandably mess someone up.

BUT, when I watched it a second time, it sounded like Miguel's actual backstory was more like "no I never had a family in my own universe or anything, but I found a universe where parallel!me DID have a family and he just died so I just went 'guess I'm Dad now'."

Which is like. Still very tragic but so much funnier. Miguel showed up one day and went "oh I died that sucks. hey that kid is my daughter now." without so much as a second thought. Scooped her up on sight. Reverse cuckoo-nested that kid. Home-unwrecked that family. Miguel O'Hara said "hey is anyone else gonna adopt my daughter?" and did not wait for an answer. FUNNIER if he just went "this is my wife now, too."

If he weren't so busy angsting and butt-modeling would he just haphazardly adopt all the under-18 Spidermen? Miguel "You don't have to go save your dad Miles I am your dad" O'Hara. Miguel "You said I could hold Mayday you never said I had to give her back" O'Hara. Miguel "I'm not mad I'm just disappointed in you Hobie" O'Hara.

Motherfucker's so afraid of sneezing and erasing a canon event otherwise he'd be fluffed up over a brood of spider-teens in his lair like the Batman-knockoff he was always meant to be.

I'm making a list

didn't i promise they'd reunite?

Sharing my Prowler2099 AU on tumblr cause why not (‘<‘)

Alright so basically, you know how in the comics Alchemax is on Miguel’s tail 24/7, like they wanna catch Spider-Man so baaad it makes them look stupid

this au is the result of a what if scenario

what if Alchemax did actually catch Miguel, what if they trapped him and experimented on him for months, what if they managed to break him, brainwash him and had him under their thumb

what if they made him work for them under a new character called “the prowler”

on the other side of this story, Gabriel is loosing his shit, he’s looking for his brother but he’s nowhere to be found, and suddenly this prowler guy shows up

and it’s uncovered that he is miguel

let’s just say Gabriel is not having fun knowing that Alchemax kidnapped and brainwashed and quite literally tortured his big brother in there

he dons a purple and green costume and becomes downtown’s newest vigilante “The green Goblin”

and now he’s just trying to rescue his brother from Tyler’s clutches and get him back home, problem is, it’s hard to try and rescue someone when that someone is not cooperating in the slightest

So I made an au…….
