Musings on the Night Lights

Judging by Zephyr’s apparent age, the epilogue takes place at least 8-10 years after Toothless and Hiccup separated. Dragons, in this universe, appear to age relatively quickly. Toothless is 15 in the first movie and based on his experience level, he seems to have been an adult for several years. From that, we can safely deduce that Furies probably take no longer than 10 years to reach maturity.

Now look at these little pumpkin pies. They’re obviously very young. They can fly (though rather haphazardly), but Gift of the Night Fury showed us that dragon nestlings can fly relatively soon after hatching. Therefore, we can conclude that these bundles of joy are likely under a year old. This brings us to one of two conclusions:

1) Furies’ breeding cycles are several years long, or they take many years to reach sexual maturity. Furies are rare dragons, and this could be attributed to the fact that many adults are killed before they are able to produce a significant number of offspring (as is the case in many real-world endangered species). This would explain why Toothless and the Light Fury only just now had babies.

Or…

2) This clutch of offspring is the latest of several, and Toothless and the Light Fury already have numerous adolescent/young adult Night Lights flying around the Hidden World causing mischief.

Get ready and get excited! This year’s themes for PeterFelicia Week 2020 are now live! 

Day 1: Midnight Rendezvous — Moonlighting across the city’s rooftops is just another night in the life of Peter “Spider-Man” Parker and Felicia “Black Cat” Hardy, but what else do they get up to in the twilight hour?  

Day 2: Protective — Show off that famed Parker protective streak or how terrifying the Black Cat can be when there’s a threat against someone she loves.

Day 3: Fantasy — For all things mystical, magical, and fantastical! Fairy tales, witches, wizards, sorcery, dragons, sea monsters, mermaids, knights, cursed princes, mysterious strangers, magical cats and sly spiders! Anything your heart desires!  

Day 4: Heists — Jewels? Paintings? Secret superhero gadgets? Sparkling treasure? Maybe even a heart or two! Everything is fair game as long as something gets stolen! 

Day 5: Noir — Go dark with villain AUs, conspiracies, demons, vampires, murderous thieves, kingpins, queenpins, etc. Or get inspired by classic film noir! If you’re still unsure why not let Marvel help and check out Peter/Felicia in all their 1930′s glory in the Spider-Man: Noir universe. (see: Spider-Man Noir #1-4 and Spider-Man Noir: Eyes Without A Face #1-4) 

Day 6: Family — When did they first think of each other as family? How does Peter introduce Felicia to Aunt May or vice versa? Or maybe they have a little spider-kitten of their own! A baby, we’re talking about a baby! Everyone loves a little domesticity right?  

Day 7: Free Day — Do you have a great idea that doesn’t fit a theme? This day is for you! Go wild, get creative because anything goes for this slot! Also, if you missed a previous day’s deadline, you can use this one! 

Further, we also have some optional general themes! These can be combined with other themes or used on their own. They can be used any day. 

Threesome — Friendships, love triangles, or perhaps something a bit more intimate ;) just be sure to add an extra person to spice things up! 

Outside Perspective — Close friends, relatives, exes, heroes, civilians, Twitter feeds, the media? Take a step back and think about how Peter/Felicia’s relationship is perceived by the people not in it!  

Unrequited — Sometimes there is no happy ending for our favorite couple, maybe we are just stuck with bittersweet yesterdays. 

Identity — Secret identities, double identities, identity confusion, and miscommunication! This is the spot for all your identity porn needs, or consider how their respective vigilante/thief identities interplay with each other. 

PeterFelicia Week will be held August 3-9, 2020 on Tumblr and Twitter! No sign ups necessary and all fan created content is acceptable ie: fic, art, edits, aesthetics, fanmixes, podcasts, playlists, meta, etc. – as long as they focus on Peter Parker/Felicia Hardy. Just remember to tag your post #peterfeliciaweek in the first five tags! 

Still confused on what exactly PeterFelicia Week entails? Read the full announcement post here! 

More posting guidelines will be made closer to the time of the event. 

We look forward to seeing all that you create!

...So Cates, I have questions?

I am waiting until the event is finished to do a super post on Donny Cates Absolute Garbage. Until then, Cates continues to show that he cannot form sequence of events and just throws scenes in for no reason.

In AC #2 and MM: AC #1, we were left with Miles becoming a symbiote host. Cates doesn’t use his pieces well because for one Eddie and Mac were safely away from the Carnage horde at the end of both issues. As soon as this issue picks up, Miles transformation is complete and he is suddenly attacking Eddie and the Carnage Cult is surrounding both again.

This sounds like a nitpick but as I pointed out in that there is a right way to chart action scenes in comics and I refuse to lay the blame at Stegman because he is simply providing the art to Cates’ script. Also it continues to be a problem in the book and it involves a major scene.

Why couldn’t Venom just do this earlier? Why bother with the several page melodrama of Eddie angering over letting Miles down when it was his fault that he got captured in the first place since you want to demand Scorpion to man up for no reason? Why is the Symbiote getting bold and basically putting himself in danger to just kill Osborn or is it Cletus...who the fuck knows anymore.

So Venom takes Carnage back to the warehouse and to safety to find this.

Now Spider-Man explains to Eddie that the Avengers know that he is helping which is okay. But I have questions because it obvious why a certain character is there. If Ben Grimm is there, why not bring in Reed Richards instead of Bruce Banner? Yes, Banner is a genius too but Mr. Fantastic has familiarity with symbiotes and alien biology. Banner’s field has to do with Nuclear Physics, Physics, and energy transference. This is just the writer assuming all geniuses are the same in order to display a pivotal scene that is complete macho bait.

Oh hey, remember when I mentioned Cates lack of sequence of events?

...How did Carnage find their hideout? How did Carnage sneak into the hideout and become a copy of Eddie and how did no one think to realize why there are two Eddies in the same building?

That is the sequence of events, fam. There are no missing pages. Carnage just finds Eddie and Peter(Eddie casually dropping Peter’s name and alias to a serial killer god wannabe) and there is no explanation at all as to how 2 geniuses and Eddie got caught so fucking off guard by something so simple to realize. It makes people look stupid.

And the edgy ass dialogue? “I am sex and violence?” Cringe as fuck(I am aware he is quoting a book but whatever).

I am not a Venom fan. I was roped in this shit show because it involved Miles and Andi. So dealing with Cates, who is being hailed for his ‘writing’, is like one massive disappointment after another.

The issue is that he is desperately trying to exonerate Eddie while making the Symbiote look evil. The Symbiote is bringing the worst of Eddie and it’s never Eddie’s fault ever. Like you see the scene where the Symbiote is trying to relieve Peter of the responsibility of bringing Symbiotes on Earth(a retcon that Cates made btw) only for Eddie to make the same mistake and manipulate Peter’s guilt for his sake. But does the writing ever call Eddie out? No.

The Symbiote is the wild one for wanting to kill Carnage while Eddie wants to protect his own kin as if those two ideas are at odds. All of the sudden, Eddie values human life because he has a kid now? And it’s not even human. Null/Carnage is literally killing swathes of people and taking over people’s bodies while infecting them with a codex. At this point, Null is a parasitic disease.

But Eddie doesn’t trust the Symbiote and feels like it’s trying to control him and manipulate his life so he just does stupid things due to this creator forced drama. And it is creator forced because it was Cates that made the relationship between the two abusive when there was no such tension earlier. You erased the one sole motivator of Eddie, his sister, and claimed that she never existed. You made it seem like it was the Symbiote that was giving Eddie cancer intentionally so Eddie would always need it. You made the Symbiote use Eddie’s DNA and rape and force impregnate his ex-wife because women in this series are only good when they are sex slaves to an alien cult, raped to have children of dubious consent, and just a lie of a manipulation. Honestly, Cates’ Venom run should be held in the same regard as One More Day and I say this as an avid Spider-Man fan.
