“And what do you sacrifice?”

“Calm. Kindness. Kinship. Love. I’ve given up all chance at inner peace. I’ve made my mind a sunless space. I share my dreams with ghosts. I wake up every day to an equation I wrote fifteen years ago from which there’s only one conclusion, I’m damned for what I do. My anger, my ego, my unwillingness to yield, my eagerness to fight they’ve set me on a path from which there’s no escape. I yearned to be a savior against injustice without contemplating the cost and by the time I looked down there was no longer any ground beneath my feet. What is my sacrifice? I’m condemned to use the tools of my enemy to defeat them. I burn my decency for someone else’s future. I burn my life to make a sunrise I know I’ll never see. And the ego that started this fight will never have a mirror or an audience or the light of gratitude. So what do I sacrifice? Everything!”

Andor giving us some of the greatest dialogue in Star Wars ever put to pen and a hauntingly real insight as to the cost of revolution. The ugly, incalculable cost.

I can't stop thinking about Gwen in ATSV. She mentioned about how she, in every other universe, died when she was loved by spiderman/Peter Parker. Peter B., Noir, Ham, and Peni didn't talk about it, but I can't help but think about how Gwen is in this organization where literally thousands of people were in love with her and she died. When she walked through Neuva York, every Spiderman was tripping over themselves to call out to her specifically and receive a "hey :)" back. Not Spider Jess or Hobie.

And then there's Pavitr and, love him of course, but I wonder how it felt to see him talk about Gayatri. I know it's a joke but how does it feel to see yourself put on this pedestal. You can't help but compare yourself and wonder "did my Peter see me that way? How would I have acted if he did?" To see her dad in Officer Singh. To see herself trapped in a bus, desperately pounding on the window as she dangled above certain death again.

In the original Spiderman India comic, they skipped over Gwen/Gayatri entirely, and instead had Meera Jain. Which I get why they did from a meta perspective, but in universe, how does it feel to know your replacement is out there. Every Spiderman is happy with their MJ, and they think of Gwen fondly, but like.... Gwen is replaceable. She is the first love, but she doesn't get a future. It's a canon event.

The horror of being a fridged woman.

#spiderverse#gwen stacy#across the spiderverse#none of the spiders lead particularly happy lives#(miles is probably doing the best out of everyone#but his story is still marked with plenty of sorrow)#but it’s interesting to me the difference between peter and gwen specifically#peter has experienced plenty of loss#but more than anything i'd say he's just one of the unluckiest guys out there#bad luck is peter's thing#it's not exactly gwen's thing though#(i mean she's a spider so she absolutely gets her fair share but)#gwen's life isn't necessarily marred by bad luck#it's that her life#including her very self#is a tragedy#the poor girl is just a walking tragedy#post-spider-geddon comics do such a fun exploration on this#gwen's left to be the bearer of bad news#to deliver news of the dead to their loved ones#wearing the visage of a thousand spiders' dead loved one#ghost-spider is SUCH a good name for her in all aspects#gwen stacy: a fluke a tragedy a ghost#these tags derailed way off topic but anyway love this post op 10/10
