my family used to have this sort of abstract watercolour painting up in our dining room, it was there as early as i can remember, and i always hated it. one day when i was like ten my mom came up to me, and i guess handed me something but i dont remember what, and she was like “can you put this on the shelf, by the bird painting?”
and i was like “..the what?”
and she was like “the painting of the bird on the branch. can you put it there” and she pointed to the abstract painting
and i was like “how is that a bird”
and she said “well what do you think it is?”
and was like “it’s a beached whale with a giant eye, blowing blood out of its blow hole onto the legs of a guy who’s running away”
..and i guess my mom thought that was like funny or weird or something so she told my dad about it, and he immediately said “oh, you mean the reindeer painting?”
*peter b voice* “it’s impossible to know when the middle of my life is, so i’ve decided to have an ongoing crisis”

miles leaves little spiderman tags next to street art he likes
jefferson to spiderman: “officially, i don’t agree with your methods and think that vigilantism is a danger to society. unofficially? that was dope”
the mallet really does fit in miles’ pocket and he still can’t figure out how
miles: “hey question, if i get shot do i own the bullet? like, can i keep it?” peter b: “…miles did you get shot”
someone: “man spiderman’s so cool” ganke, remembering that time he found miles crying on the ceiling during finals week: “….yeah”
scorpion thinks this new spiderman is this funniest little dude on the planet

miles: “i made you a friendship bracelet” gwen: “i’m not really a jewelry person” miles: “oh it’s cool you don’t have to wear-” gwen: “no i’m gonna wear it forever back off”
The abandoned Mys Aniva Lighthouse, Sakhalin Island, Russia. Built in 1939 by Japanese engineer Miura Shinobu, it was reclaimed by the Soviet Union after WW2 and turned into an autonomous nuclear-powered lighthouse. It’s said to be still radioactive today.
