I Will Love You After You’re Gone

TW : Transphobia

We need a Spider-Verse deleted scene where Miles and Peter are sitting on a rooftop, overlooking the city, and they get to talking about Aaron, and Miles starts laughing, like, "He showed me this Thing, watch this, man!" and he puts his hand on Peter's shoulder to do the "Hey" bit and accidentally electrocutes Peter and sends him ricocheting through the air for the distance of, like, 7 skyscrapers.

("ᴼʰ ᵐʸ ᵍᵒᵈ ᴵ ᵏᶦˡˡᵉᵈ ᵃⁿᵒᵗʰᵉʳ ˢᵖᶦᵈᵉʳ⁻ᵐᵃⁿ" - Miles, under his breath. "I AM SO PROUD OF YOU, BUD!!" - Peter, who still hasn't landed.)

Sometimes I think I'm holding back out of habit. Like I should've broken a long time ago. What does that make my current state, hm?

I had to read this one book for school and after I'd finished I sat down and just. Seethed. I'd just spent multiple hours reading when I didn't want to. I wrote essays that weren't 30% as heartfelt as the average Tumblr post about how excited we are about a new episode of smth. Because I was being judged on it and criticised on it and why would I be vulnerable.

It was a good book. That's what made me so angry. It was a good book and I'd have enjoyed it if it weren't eternally connected to an unfair German teacher and tense hours reading as fast as I could now.

"It's okay if you don't want to read the classics" okay but you should try. Books hit different when you're not being forced to read them.

“Oh how do you stay positive when the world is so awful how can you stay positive when our lives are falling apart-“ SPITE!!!!! ITS SPITE GODDAMN IT!!! REMEMBER WHEN YOU WERE ANGRY AT THE WORLD AS A TEENAGER?? THAT KID WAS RIGHT AND YES IT FUCKING SUCKS AND NO, ITS NOT FAIR, SO YOU HAVE TO KEEP TRYING TO MAKE IT FAIR!!!!

realizing that sticking to the "do it bad" "do it scared" mentality implies theres also a "do it bored"
