Backstory:

you know, my earth (#6K) used to be great, Asgard and shield worked together to create well, a shield, protecting earth from invasion but some big corporations collider went off, triggered by one in a different universe and a micro black hole formed, destroying a few keys parts of the Shield Array, after that, we got invaded. In a last ditch effort to save everyone a few Shield and Asgard big wigs created the Spiders Program, they created these nasty ass spiders with radioactive and magical venom and well, I figured I would volunteer, I already lost almost everyone I knew. Found out I'm part Asgardian while we were at it, that raised some brows and made me question my grandmother's marriage. We managed to fight back the invasion, repair the Shield Arrays and now our earth's safe, but in all the excitement we found out about the multiverse and some of us got permission to explore, I was one of them. It was either that or become someone's puppet.

Frost: so kingpin caused your collider fuckup too?

Miles: yeah, he just wante- wait! you've got a kingpin in your universe too?

Frost: yeah, big muscled bloke, looks like a potato. Gotta say, does not taste the way he looks

Miles: how do you....

Pav: context! I'm talking about food!

Frost: *messes with Pavs hair* we are food! Worm food!

Hobie: that's dark man

Pav: *play fighting back*

Gwen & Miles: *laughing*

The Archive is experiencing some issues (as many of you have noticed).

It looks like the Archive is under a DDoS attack causing the servers to fall over. Our volunteer sysadmins are working on countermeasures. Please be patient with us, we'll be back!

A DDoS attack is when an attacker attempts to knock a site offline by overwhelming it with requests. Data is not compromised in a DDoS attack, so there is no need to change your password at this time or worry about your works being lost.

A group presenting themselves as a collective of religiously and politically motivated hackers has claimed responsibility for the DDoS attack. This group has attacked other sites before, including those of government organizations and large corporations. However, cybersecurity experts do not believe the group is honest about their motivation, so we urge caution in believing any reasoning this group provides for targeting AO3.

As part of our efforts to help keep the site up, you might find that you get "Retry later" errors more often when searching or filtering works or bookmarks. Don't worry, just go a little slower, or try again in a few minutes! These are temporary measures. Normal use of the site is fine -- you don't have to avoid using AO3 if it's currently up for you.

Our volunteers are continuing to work hard on this issue! We appreciate your patience and support in the meantime.

Date: 22:43 UTC July 10, 2023

We've changed our approach slightly, so you might now see error messages other than "Retry later," such as 429 (too many requests), 400 (bad request), or 503 (service unavailable).

Please do continue to access the site if it's up for you, and feel free to download some works for offline reading in case of further downtime!

We'd also like to take a moment to reiterate that cybersecurity experts believe the group claiming responsibility for the ongoing DDoS attack is lying about their affiliation and reasons for attacking websites. We strongly encourage you to be skeptical of any statements from this group.

hobie is scared too.

Adventures in babysitting: a saga

The impact Spiderverse has on art and artists is INSANE. Everyone is drawing, everyone is CREATING. From colour studies, to the art style studies, to making sona influenced by the movies' character designs. AI generated images are nowhere to be seen, and I hope they're going to stay buried in the uncreative pits they belong in... the world is in balance.

Seeing all the works are... WOW

dear non-spanish speakers writing spiderverse fanfiction (or anything with spanglish),

in spanglish you don’t switch by word, you switch by phrase.

it’s not:

“[first part of the sentence in english], [second part of the sentence in english], mi amor.”

“[full english sentence], querida.”

it’s:

“[first part of the sentence in english], [segunda parte de la frase en español], mi amor.”

-

also miles is boricua, miguel is mexican. they have two different accents and use different vocabulary for certain words.

also miles is “nyourican” - a puerto rican native to new york - while his mom is directly from the island, so there are differences there, too, because his spanish is more influence by new york english. 

here’s some good references that aren’t google translate (which usually pulls from spain, a country that speaks vastly differently from latin america)

here have some random videos on different slang/spanish accents:

-

in spanish most words are gendered, so most feminine words end in a and masculine/gender neutral words end in o. adding ito/ita makes something cuter, smaller and more affectionate.

spanish nicknames that aren’t “mi amor”

also spanish is a language that uses adjectives as terms of affection both cute ones and ones that might sound insensitive in english

and like most languages that are not english, spanish has multiple ways of saying i love you.

see also:

 and, of course, they can vary regionally too.

please use this because i have read a lot of really well written things that take me out of it because the use of spanglish is terrible. don’t just go on your presumptions that spanish/spanglish works in the same way that english does.

buena suerte, gringos.
