Okay fuck so for like the entire first part I thought this person was like… Using one of those 3d pens to replace lace in this curtain somehow
Then the next couple I was like “wait are they just like painting the curtains a different color? Were the lace threads just black or something on that other one?”
Then finally it clicked and I freaked the fuck out
EXCUSE ME

Remember that moment in ITSV, when Miles first meets his world’s Spider-Man and their spider senses do the thing?
The background behind Peter is as we’d expect; the classic red and blue.
But at first Miles’ background is green and purple, two colors he’s never associated with at all throughout the movie. As the moment goes on, it shifts to match Peter’s.
We are literally watching Miles’ fate change and the anomaly happen.
It’s well established that the spider that bit him was not supposed to even be in that universe, meaning our Miles was supposed to be something else before it happened.
This isn’t true for ITSV, but in every other version of Spider-Man, the main color scheme for the Prowler is green and purple.
Our Miles was supposed to become the next Prowler in his world. And the only reason he’s not, is because of the original Prowler.Miles switched his fate with Earth-42 Miles.
Healthy relationships are clearly better in real-life but fucked-up ones are way more dramatically interesting in fiction. In much the same way–indeed, in exactly the same way–that feudal monarchy is a hell of a lot of fun in fantasy and historical fiction novels, but complete shit to actually live under.
Feudal monarchy is so hilarious because it’s just like: “What if we based our entire sociopolitical structure on fucked-up family dynamics?”
