HIII! YES. i love canon therefore i love obsessive miggy <3 as for thoughts on it!! you cannot have obsessive miggy without miles!! you cannot separate them! if his obsession is the protection of the multiverse, then miles is the root of miguel's obsession! 😤

a part of me likes to think that as the second miles got bit miguel zero'd in on him! at the time he didn't have a way to travel dimensions so it makes sense why he couldn't stop any of it + he seems semi-normal in ITSV comparatively...and then everything worked out for miles! miles is the one who got away (with not following canon)! i.e. without miles there is nothing for miguel to obsess over and made his brain go stupid go crazy etc etc. spot-miggy parallels: miles forever changing the men in his life purely by existing <-- feel like you could make the same argument w/ him w/ beter n ripete but...another thought for another day.

extremely funny that miguel had probably been watching miles the whole time that gwen visited, probably SAW that miles followed her into the portal...didn't do jack shit till miles was actually there. like okay we get it ur dramatic and want to show miles that you're (literally) above him, and have to move off ur high horse (the platform going down) to get on the same level as miles. SMH!!

to me this all brings up the question...if miggy was intending to kill mimi like some people speculate (not me 😔), what will there be left for him?! the root of his obsession is gone! the supposed progenitor of all the problems in the mulitverse is gone! if miles dies, then there's nothing left for miguel to blame but himself. there's nobody to project his hate and anger onto. all he'd be left with is a supposedly fixed multiverse (that he even seems unsure of getting rid of miles would fix), and another kid he's responsible for the death of.

tdlr; obsessive miggy is so good. never ending love-hate foreplay w/ miles is necessary for miguel's mental health otherwise he has to actually deal with his emotions in a way that doesn't involve fucking miles on a monorail! feel like miggymais r the only ones who wanna acknowledge that aspect of him without trying to make it into something it's not!! idk i feel like you can acknowledge it's something that is rooted in trauma without trying to like...justify it 😔

💀💀 yeppppp. as i've said before, ppl can ship what they want idc and shipping doesn't indicate your stance on stuff etc etc. sometimes ppl just wanna ship themselves with a character, or they don't like X chara, and age gaps are a squick for some people and nobody /has/ to like miggymai!! and that's okay! yadda yadda!!

BUTTT at the same time,,,it's honestly kind of a way to weed out certain ppl by seeing how determined they are to not acknowledge black characters, to the point of giving Miles&Jess's roles to other, whiter, characters -- and going face first into fanon as a way to justify that. <-- LIKE i think thats general the crux of the "issue" for me. it's not making white ocs, or shipping X with Y(1), or even having individual au's where "what if [insert white character] was the focus" -- it's the uncanny feeling of seeing Miles and Jess be...replaced from the narrative on a fandom wide level...and continuing an odd trend of how black(2) characters are regarded in fanbases :ppp

[gets the sudden feeling that this ask is gonna get me anon hate lol]

and like i said!! this doesn't just apply to the whole oc stuff, just a trend i see with white (...usually miggy) stans/shippers in gen!!!! so in a way i'm thankful that so many ppl r turned off by miggymai + bottom miles ships! im not rlly interested in interacting w/ ppl who are...hm. weird in that way about and miles (AND MIGGY(3))!!

also i genuinely think there's a tough conversation to be had in gen, about the way ppl are towards miggy and miles (and jess, and [insert every single non-white char in spverse lol]). i don't think it's going to be "doing XYZ is bad or not bad" or whatever -- half the convos we have in fanbases and try to sum up with yes or no answers is stuff academics spend their lives discussing. but white proshippers r allergic to nuance 💀...another topic for another time.

anyways i got so...soo off track. i'll just end on that i think Princess Weekes on youtube is the closest i've seen to someone putting into words how i feel about convos like this 😭 like ofc i dont agree with /everything she says/ (though i never think that's her goal), but she opens up conversations on fandom/race/gender/proshipping in a way that i've seen very little of!

(1) genuinely feel bad for brown/black/non-yt ppl who like some of those ships im alluding to 'cause god damn ik their suffering rn 💀 and on that note...liking bottom miles is fr sooo peaceful. genuinely one of the first times i got to experience being able to peacefully ship a black character in problematic ships AND get content/fics/art in a way i've never seen black characters get as much before ;-; LIKE...u can tell the difference!! idk how to explain it but i feel so less on edge 'cause ik the majority of the ppl writing these fics aren't white 💀 like reading a non-con fic for miles in bttm!miles fanbase feels very diff than how it usually feels when i see that for black characters in diff fandoms.

(2) i've seen it for brown/non-white charas too tbh!! mention this 'cause im getting flashbacks abt a certain show that i will not name where i didn't even know the main character wasn't white bc nobody ever posted pics of them...and half the fics were MC's personality with the white friend pasted on top💀

(3) but lets be clear...so many people /are/ weird about miggy. WONT get into it bc i feel like talking about it is like stepping into a landmine -- and i don't actually have a concrete answer/opinion that's been developed enough for me to comfortably get into detail. BUT i do kind of hate the conversation keeps getting cut off when anyone tries to have a nuanced conversation about it. [gets the sudden feeling that this ask is gonna get me anon hate x2]

Hi!!!! They’re going good 😊 I’m gonna publish some of the writing I did last week to our school’s literary journal! one of them is a poem, and I’d never written it before, so I suppose that counts as a eureka moment?? it was very fun to do! drawing class is also going well! i look forward to going twice a week 🤣 sad i probably won’t be able to take it next semester (transportation issues). gender/race in lit studies is fun as always.

the only thing that has been a bit frustrating — and this is gonna sound like i got a big ego but i promise it’s not that — is that my skill level is above my classmates enough that there’s not much…feedback that’s helpful (usually people are not sure what to even add or critique! so it’s just ‘this was good’ or stuff that was my stylistic choice) and I end up having to rely on teachers for critique — and for creative writing, the school’s writing tutors. it’s not that my classmates can’t be helpful! but often i want someone to tell me to kill my darlings and help me tear down my argument/writing/art and build it back up! i just have to wait to get to higher up classes i suppose 😭

i have the unfortunate pleasure of having see the first two of the sequel trilogy, yes 😭 ushshshd??? (going 2 use poefinn&kyfinn bc fixed brain refuses to not use topbttm/semeuke/leftright ship names) I SEE what ur putting down. i’ll be honest my experience w/ kyfinn is like seeing blk tumblr get fed up with YT poefinn antics and moving to kyfinn djdjdjdj I did not join the move bc at that point i was done w/ that fanbase in gen but i watching from sidelines w/ popcorn. ANWAYS just wanted to give context. but i don’t think you’re delusional 🤔🤔 i def see how they’re closer to that than poefinn! though i wouldn’t say it’s like. a direct comparison (‘cause as much as i make fun of miggy i feel like his similarities w/ ky r surface level. same for miles n finn), but falls into the same tropes if that makes sense!!!?? same for betermiles v poefinn comparison. also i feel like (fucked) age gap is integral to both migemai n betermiles as well as familial undertones(?). AT least for me (<- evil age gap n pseudo incest dad/son brocon siscon fav tropes. bonus points to whoever guesses my fav bttms/ships outside of spverse). IT is funny i mention their similarities tho ‘cause it does make it obs to me that migemai is normally my otp type (betermiles being closer tho technically still an otp); that being fucked up tropes but semi “healthy” relationship on the surface BDNDND tho if migemai has a reconciliation then it i’ll be closer to that (🥰). also sowwy this is one whole paragraph, i’m on mobile 🫶
