Kingin respects boymode transfem peter parker’s gender identity
perfect addition, no notes
People have been asking about the context of these panels and there practically isn’t any. Peter sees Fisk at an airport, immediately goes “>:o CAN’T HAVE THAT HE’S UP TO SUMFIN” and plants a tracker on him in the most conspicuous way possible.
these two pages raise so many questions. Fisk has bodyguards, sure, but why? He can go toe to toe with spider-man. but if they are there for his protection, they’re doing a bad job, because someone just came over and put his hand on their employer.
Furthermore, why did peter plant the bug like that? Like, he used to just toss them. Did he really just wanna feel Fisk’s delts? And then there’s the response of “I’m not a boy!” which is the funniest possible response like, this man who is estimated to be 450lbs of pure muscle just called you ‘boy’ and your response is to go, “I’m a MAN!!!” like you’re a dormouse trying to establish dominance over a literal (and possibly figurative) bear. all of it is just so fucking funny.
The thing with Peter is he’s only glancingly aware that he looks like Marty McFly about to be physically thrown out of a pop shop right now. He’s just like “I could take this guy” and okay he’s right but he’s broadcasting absolutely baffling “I could take you!” energy at Fisk here, while theoretically ensconced in his secret identity. He is just not Clark Kenting at all. His ability to mimic a normal amount of intimidation for security reasons is near zero in spite of his being absolutely obsessed with the sanctity of his own secret identity. Like yeah he’ll gaslight gatekeep girlboss all his loved ones easy but it doesn’t occur to him to act like he’s frightened of a man whose fists are bigger than his entire head. It’s so funny. Like what the fuck is Fisk supposed to do here. He’s enclosing this rando’s arm up to the elbow with one hand and the guy’s mouthing off. Fisk is math lady memeing furiously in that silent panel and ultimately he just gives up. Can you blame him. Like what do you do.
so I didn’t know if female jesters had been a thing in the past and looked it up and was introduced to mathurine the fool, who gave one of the best burns in history in a silly little way.
also she apparently stopped an assassination?? amazing.
[ID: She was known for her extravagant costume as an Amazonian warrior, complete with shield, armor, and a wooden sword. She was famous for her sharp wit, and there were many anecdotes about it. One of them was an occasion, in which a lady in waiting complained that she did not like having a fool at her right side, upon which Mathurine jumped to the lady’s other side and announced: “I don’t mind it at all.” /end ID]
In general I believe in the supernatural but I still approach things with a healthy degree of skepticism. However if you tell me you saw something paranormal at sea I will 100% believe you no matter what. If someone tells me they saw ghosts on land I would need some proof before I’m onboard but if someone tells me they saw ghosts in the ocean I’d be like yeah man we all do
A housewife takes a lover during the day, while her husband is at work. Not aware that 9 year old son was hiding in the closet. Her husband came home unexpectedly, so she hid her lover in the closet. The boy now has company.
Boy: ‟Dark in here.” Man: ‟Yes it is.” Boy: ‟I have a baseball.” Man: ‟That’s nice.” Boy: ‟Want to buy it?” Man: ‟No, thanks.” Boy: ‟That’s my dad outside.” Man: ‟How much did you say the baseball was again?” Boy: ‟$250.”
In the next few weeks, it happens again that the boy and the mom’s lover are in the closet together.
Boy: ‟Dark in here.” Man: ‟Yes, it is..” Boy: ‟I have a baseball glove.” Man: ‟That’s nice.” Boy: ‟Want to buy it?” Man: ‟No, thanks.” Boy: ‟I think I just remembered something I needed to tell my dad.” Man: ‟How much did you say the glove was again?” Boy: ‟$750.” Man: ‟Fine.”
A few days later, the father says to the boy, ‟Grab your glove. Let’s go outside and toss the baseball!” The boy says, ‟I can’t. I sold them.” The father asks, ‟How much did you sell them for?” The son says, ‟$1,000.” The father says, ‟It’s terrible to over-charge your friends like that. That is way more than those two things cost. I’m going to take you to church and make you confess.”
They go to church and the father alerts the priest and makes the little boy sit in the confession booth and closes the door.
The boy says, ‟Dark in here.” The priest says, ‟Do not start that shit again.”
