I'm realizing it's popularly accepted that ATSV Hobie is a gadgeteer genius who made those replacement portal-watches himself, but I've been running on comicsverse lore...
...and assumed that Riri of his home dimension did the actual building from the materials he's been swiping, and the "do you think that did anything important?" line was not, in fact, a joke on his part
why is it everytime i look for hobie fics theyโre all smut ?? like can i get some fluff please you horny bastards
bruh iโm flipping tables rn
BITCH I HAD TO COME BACK TO ADD MY EMPHASIS ON HOW FINE HE IS
ANTI-CAPITALIST AFFIRMATIONS
- i am allowed to spend my time creating things, even if they are not beautiful.
- there is no such thing as a "real job." all forms of work are real and valid.
- there is nothing that i need to accomplish to be worthy. i am already worthy.
- doing nothing is good for my soul.
- i am not defined by what i produce.
- my worth cannot be measured by my paycheck, my job title, or a list of professional or academic achievements.
- i do not need to monetize my hobbies, it is enough to spend time doing something i love.
- i will not let society decide what success looks like. i can define what successful life looks like for me.
Some insane, narratively-significant details in the first episode of Yellowjackets, from the set designers, costume designers and directors:
- The journal separating Shauna and Jackie:
- Taissaโs wallpaper being a forest, linked to her trauma due to the wolf attack and to her sleepwalking:
- Jackie and Shaunaโs jackets and necklaces having very few differences, hinting at how deeply intertwined their lives/identities are:
- Natalie in front of fireplaces, as fire will destroy the cabin right after her coronation and sheโll have the front seat to the fires during theโฆ dinners:
- Natalie already singled out from the team due to very different shoes:
- Natalieโs bullet necklace, as both her past and future are linked to firearms:
- The Shauna antlers, right after putting on the necklace of doom, just as sheโs (already) entering an altered state of mind:
- Benโs right leg being already cut off:
- The colors of their tamagotchis, which are Jackieโs color panel for college:
- The enormous amount of Jackie symbolism:
โข Poppies surrounding a picture of Jackie and Shauna in Jackieโs room, as the wallpaper of Shaunaโs teen room though she was trying to cover it, on Shauna and Jeffโs wedding cake
โข The pattern of Jackieโs dress as a painting in Shaunaโs house (on the far right):
โข Shauna going from wearing a heart necklace without a gold chain before the plane, to a heart necklace with a gold chain, to a gold chain without a heart:
just found these saved on my old photos and i'm obsessed again
Hobie lives on a boat!
Punk Pirate!
idk about u but i nEEEEEED to know more about hobie & miguel's relationship. cus like. it's clear that hobie REALLY distrusts the society, right? from the second miles and him start interacting he's trying to push miles out from it, right? AND YET HE'S STILL THERE !!!!! and you could argue that that's because of gwen, right, and i'm sure that plays a part, BUT !!! him and miguel are STILL ON GOOD TERMS. they BANTER !! he, in some part, likes miguel, despite distrusting the society he leads. WHY !!!!! WHAT HAPPENED BETWEEN THEM i gotta know.
I KNOWWWW!! It's such an interesting dynamic!!! And I have a little story in my head of maybe why
Also this is SO LONG sorry
Hobie and Miguel's (working) Relationship -
[a breakdown of my interpretation of Hobie's experience and ranking within the Society]
First for context let it be known that according to the wiki, there are only 280 members of the Society - 90 of which are named so far. 280 out of millions of universes is a SMALL number - Gwen wasn't lying when she said it's a small team, technically that's the truth.
So that could be why the society is so varied - Miguel genuinely only picks Spiderpeople he considers to be either trustworthy, unique, talented, or all three.
He had to have specifically picked Hobie and said 'okay we have to recruit him' KNOWING who Hobie was. So already from the get-go I'm assuming Miguel knew what he was getting into with Hobie but he did it anyway!!!!
Which - is completely understandable. Objectively speaking on-screen we've already seen Hobie display:
Loyalty, Forethought, Technological Ability, Stealth ability, Planning, and Emotional Preparation (of Miles) and Communication.
[Like, his emotional swaying of Miles throughout the movie is..really impressive. I could write a whole thing on that. All I'll say rn: He could have broken Miles out himself, but he didn't. He let Miles free himself. He did that for a reason and that detail shows a lot about his fight against oppression and views.]
I mean - If Hobie is sent on a team mission with people who like him, he is very good at managing team dynamics, encouraging others, mentoring/teaching teammates, and leading others along plans, without being a 'leader'.
(And need I remind you - Hobie also broke a barrier 3 other spider-people couldn't take down, even with their collective strength.)
That implies Hobie is really valuable and really worth the stress to Miguel. Even moreso, knowing about Hobie's beliefs and doubts. Miguel probably knew he was a risk, but saw his work as too good to pass up.
So that means - Hobie had to prove his worth to Miguel at one point!
Which is really interesting, considering the show I've been watching lately (bear with me - pun intended)
So I've been watching The Bear on FX - and there was a scene in the last episode I saw that I think sets a good example:
Spider-punk being British please watch this i BEG OF YOU (credit:spine_apples on yt)
okay so when were yโall gonna tell me that hobie lives on a boat????
Hobie Brown, Emotional Preparation, and the Art of Great Dialogue
Nearly all of Hobie's dialogue is written with his goal - protecting and preparing Miles for Miguel's abuse - in mind, even if it may not be obvious at first watch.
Here's an unhinged breakdown where I over-analyze literally every one of Hobieโs lines and explain how every sentence was written to contribute directly to Milesโ radicalization.
Hollywood. Pay your writers. (:
___________________________________________________
Hobie has around 10 minutes screentime total, but for the sake of introductions and this analysis, let's start at the end of the battle, and the beginning of the quantum hole.
Starting with his first line in the scene:
"I don't follow orders. Neither does he."
All morals considered, Hobie doesn't seem like the type to speak for someone who can speak for themselves - he's a punk after all. But here, he speaks for Miles. This line serves to tell Miles 'I don't respect them, why should you?', but funnily enough, it can also be a point to Jess, as if to say 'Miles isn't interested.' - even if he is.
"Bit much, innit?"
While, Hobie and Mile's next interaction is their exchange in the elevator, the scene leads to Mile's introduction to the Society. Miles gawks at the lobby, obviously impressed. Gwen affirms this awe, telling him 'this is just the lobby.' However, Hobie feels the need to chime in. His next dialogue 'Bit much, innit?' is a subtle nudge to Miles that the society is not a place to be in awe off. It's a spectacle, one that's a bit overdone. Knowing Miles now sees Hobie as cool, Hobie makes it known - he sees the Society as uncool.
"Gwendy, How much have you told him? About his place in all this? Maybe not enough."
'So what happened about that small elite strike-team?' - 'Most of these are part time.' This is by far one of Hobie's more interesting lines, and I wrote about it here. But in short, this is Hobie's soft but direct confrontation of Gwen. After Gwen lies to Miles in front of him, Hobie immediately asks how much Gwen has revealed to him. And when she tries to play it off, he openly says 'Maybe that's not enough.' He's not angry with Gwen, but he is disappointed, which in turn motivates him to have his discussion with Miles.
any song can be abt your favorite characters if youโre insane enough
Hobie says this when Peter B. walks in and i know Iโve said this before but Hobie has to be Jamaican because that was rude as hell
