My Favorite Part About Re-reading A Book, Is Seeing All The Parts I Accidentally Skimmed Over The First

My favorite part about re-reading a book, is seeing all the parts I accidentally skimmed over the first time.

Confession: I have a friend who likes to text me at like 4am when he’s had nightmares or he can’t sleep or he just needs a friend. He thinks I’m always awake at 4am but really I go to bed around 12am and I change his text-tone to the loudest one I have just so it wakes me up when he needs me.

exactly like why yall defending him

Sorry Miguel, but “I took the place of a version of me that died to live the life I thought I deserved” is not equivalent to “I saved a few lives in another universe and would like for my dad to not die in mine please” Dawg.

This morning my mum, who's very fond of Walker Scobell, came to me and was like, "What is Percy Jackson about, and will it be the career changing role for that kid in The Adam Project?" So I gave her a long-ass brief but detailed summary of it. Unaware that my dad was listening. Why is that an important point to mention? Well, it's because when my mum asked me who I'd like to play the Big Three, my dad came barging in and yelled out: "Chris Hemsworth for Zeus, Henry Cavill for Poseidon, and Ben Barnes for Hades".

Judging from how he practically vibrated in excitement when he gave his suggestion, he'd definitely spent a lot of time thinking about this

FINALLY SOMEONE GETS IT.

Across the Spider-verse spoilers///

Miguel fine af but Miles really should’ve beat his fat ass harder cuz wtf you mean calling him a mistake and blaming him for his Peter dying?? I’m sorry that pissed me off so much like Miles didn’t ask to get bit. Miles isn’t the one who made the collider, Miles didn’t bring Earth 42’s spider to his world GOD.

There’s a lot of anger, resentment, projecting and borderline envy going on. But I really liked how complex Miguel was in this movie. But some of y’all need to see he is wrong or at the very least, his way of going about things is wrong. Also explain to me why I’ve seen more hate targeted towards Gwen, someone who was conflicted the entire movie and Jess. Who should’ve stuck up for Gwen but clearly shows remorse at the end. More than Miguel bro make it make sense.

If you’re able to understand where Miguel is coming from, why can’t you also understand Gwen? Or did people straight up ignore the first 15 minutes of the movie? Like I too was disappointed with Gwen’s lying but one of the main reasons she did all this IS SO SHE DOESN’T GET SENT BACK HOME.

Where her father knows her identity and tried to arrest her. Where she currently has nowhere to live and crashes at Hobie’s place. How about we call out the adults that used that as leverage against a 16-17 year old, adults that watched it all go down too. Like people act like she had it against Miles when you see clearly that she only wants to protect him. She can’t lose another friend and obviously it backfired on her.

This is an amazing film but I’ve heard some absolutely dumb takes already. Some going as far to call Miguel racist WHICH MAKES NO FUCKING SENSE. Yeah we were joking and there are obvious metaphors to the ‘Miles being a Afro-latino Spider Man backlash’ but no idiot, he doesn’t hate black people. Miles could be any race Miguel would still react the way he did.
