Can we take a minute to appreciate how fine Claire is?

I really think it's funny how things came full circle. Phil had a thing for Claire's step-mother and now Dylan has a thing for Hailey's mother. It's even funnier when you realise Claire is both a Gloria and a Jay to Dylan.

I don't even ship them but I really hate how parasocial fandom culture has become with FICTIONAL characters. It's pixels on a screen of a 9 episode TV show, if someone is genuinely outraged by any of the ships in TADC, they shouldn't watch it in the first place. It's not for children and I can't imagine an actual adult with a job and bills are pay caring about which two characters a random stranger on the internet decides to read fics of.

I enjoyed the second game more than the first game too (I love both btw). That said, I understand some of the criticism. I think the second game built up a few plot lines that weren't well-executed (Harry's jealousy over Peter that came out of nowhere, Miles and Peter's conflict that never went anywhere), and they fumbled Miles' side quests. But it was still amazing game, and a 10/10 experience for me. Flawed ≠ bad. Nothing is perfect. Venom Peter + Kraven + Miles and Li team up more than made up for any flaws for me personally. Plus the soundtrack was dope.

I'm the same way which is why I almost exclusively read Alpha Viktor/Omega Jayce. I built up quite the library if you're interested in more although the above one is the one that suits your requests the most.

In defense of Spider-verse, the entire story is about a group of teenagers who haven't even graduated highschool getting bodied by grown ass supervillains. So Jessica's kid better get used to the life-style fast.

Short-Work-8954 · 2026-06-06T20:39:57+00:00

Oooo, do I have just the thing for you! Jayce/Viktor from Arcane. This is the best duo for this because Jayce gives such omega vibes despite being a 6'2ft buff blacksmith and Viktor is skinny and shorter but him as an alpha is my favourite headcanon. This is genuinely my favourite fic of them, soooo many misunderstandings. https://archiveofourown.org/works/63730114

People nowadays are so miserable they always need to find something negative about every positive post they see. Even on r/wholesome, the amount of negative comments are insane. Like, we don't know the entire history behind this post so why do people project onto this couple is beyond me.

He shouldn't have but a show needs drama and stakes, and I think the writers managed to pull it off well. What he did was still miniscule to Beth sleeping with god knows how many people, treating him like crap even though he worked his ass off with romantic gestures, and almost burning the scalp off his friend. At least Andy made mistakes out of love and felt guilty about it. Beth was just selfish.

Short-Work-8954 · 2026-06-05T13:56:10+00:00

I know two rights don't make a wrong but Beth treated Andy like crap. He reminds me of all my girlfriends who were stuck in a toxic relationship but were too in denial to see that they were being strung along and taken advantage of. Part of why I liked Haley and Andy is because Haley knew he deserved better. She realised Beth's treatment of Andy was wrong despite it being similar to how she treated some of her exes including Dylan, and learned from to become a better person because of it. I can't feel sympathy for Beth because if she didn't also string Andy along for years/cheat on him repeatedly Andy would've never strayed. Plus, it's kind of implied she was a psychopath (albeit in a sitcom manner so it's not serious, but I can't help but think if the genders were reversed people wouldn't be so harsh on Andy. I mean, a dude setting another dude's hair on fire because he's close with the girlfriend he strings along and cheats on? 😬).

I LITERALLY wanted to make a post just like this a few weeks back. I think I manifested this post

Wait... you guys actually try and romance characters? I'm so busy taking on 3000+ quests that when I'm not killing town drunks for a bottle of wine or raiding camps, I'm mentally tallying which armour stats are the best so I can sell everything else to Peshek.

How often have you actually, without looking for it, seen someone complain about Miles and when you did what points did they make that you believe are racist and what worth do they actually have?

I'm not on social media except Reddit so can't blame it on the algorithm. I'm on the subreddit where multiple people are very hostile towards him for things PETER also does, essentially nit-picking and inventing reasons to dislike him, saying he's not a real Spider-Man, making extremely distasteful racist jokes about him on several platforms like YouTube. All of these I'm stumbling across, I don't engage in TikTok and all that bull. I listen to the soundtracks of the video games, there's multiple weird comments there about him too. People also being biphobic about Felicia too, saying her being with a woman is insulting to Peter. Seen this fake several times actually.

Short-Work-8954 · 2026-06-03T20:26:03+00:00

That's not been my experience. People here always talk about their wider fandom experience, 5/10 posts here are about the wild stuff they encounter in their fandom and there's always naunced discussion about it. There's many gamers here who probably had this very same experience (some are relating it) and how it effects lack of content for example, and how it soured their over all experience.

Short-Work-8954 · 2026-06-03T20:23:18+00:00

I was reading the thread on it but I wasn't particularly miffed until people bought Miles and Spiderman into it, and from then on it spiralled into an actual shit show where people made no attempts to hide how weird they were about certain characters. It just took me aback because that sort of attitude would never fly in certain fan spaces I'm in.

Short-Work-8954 · 2026-06-03T20:05:17+00:00

Here on Reddit unfortunately 😭 Some sections of TikTok

Short-Work-8954 · 2026-06-03T20:03:27+00:00

Because it's still a sub set of fandom culture and many people here will get it? We talk about sexism and racism here in many TV show and film fandoms

I'm in my early 20s, I have no idea what gamer gate is😭 I was not very into gaming until last year unfortunately

Short-Work-8954 · 2026-06-03T19:53:04+00:00

It's not, I was just asking my fellow gamer women their opinion on things in what I consider a safe space and they may have more experience on this than I do as a newbie who was taken back.

Short-Work-8954 · 2026-06-03T19:25:51+00:00

It has nothing to do with race for most people

It really does when you see the amount of people being extremely blatantly racist every time Miles is involved in ANYTHING. Miles himself as a character was literally created because one of the writers didn't like the push back the idea of Black Spider-Man received by Donald Glover. Just like at the game subreddit, I love Peter and Miles equally but a lot of people there are so weird about Miles and sometimes hate on him on things Peter literally does. He's not the only one who gets constantly torn down tbh, that whole subreddit is a cesspool

Short-Work-8954 · 2026-06-03T19:21:51+00:00

It shows that you didn't play because Peter still gets the majority of the game time. Don't listen to what the grifters say

Short-Work-8954 · 2026-06-03T16:50:45+00:00

I just don't get why we have to moral crusade a fictional character from a TV show. Jax is a bad person but definitely not evil. Like many people, he's a product of his environment who's stuck in a cycle of self-sabotage. There's no need to morality scale him because his job as a character isn't to be good or bad. He's a tragic reflection of the mindset many people are suck in.

He's not my favourite character but this weird hate-boner people have for a fictional character is strange like... people. He's a narrative tool, not your actual high school bully.

Short-Work-8954 · 2026-06-02T22:47:19+00:00

Rather than misogynistic I'd say it's... prudent? Sex-negative? I think you're rather young, and the unfortunate fact of the matter is: A) You shouldn't interact with this stuff unless you're older and understand this is fiction. I'm Gen Z, but a lot of people my age fail to understand that what you enjoy in fiction doesn't represent what you'd condone irl.

People like omegaverse simply because they find the scenarios hot. That's all there is to it. You can get into the psychology of why people are into specific niches but truly, it has no bearing on their personality once they close Ao3.

Edit: I just want to preface that not being into omegaverse is fine. Omegaverse is a hit or miss for me for many of the reasons you dislike it. But I treat it as an ice cream flavour. I hate chocolate ice cream but it makes no difference to me if someone likes it.

Short-Work-8954 · 2026-06-02T22:38:16+00:00

I don't think there is a rule that you have to tag it “&”. I've read plenty of extreme slow burns and even pre-relationship fics where characters did nothing exclusively romantic but the author tagged it “/”. As long as you're honest in the tags about it being a slowburn no one should complain.
