in the leap of faith scene in into the spider-verse, miles breaks the glass in the window when he lets go, and bcs we know he has to be calm to stop sticking that means he was absolutely terrified as he jumped but he still did it because he felt like he was ready deep down and yeah i’m just so fuckibg proud of him everyday
Okay, so has any noticed that it very very much seems like Miles has a major anxiety disorder?
Besides the whole having trouble socializing with people. We can see this by his method of hiding his new abilities. Instead of trying to keep cool, he ducks and runs around the school like as if the whole school knows about his problem. How he talk to Gwen and how quickly his mind is racing when having a normal conversation with her.
Not only that but he also covers his face when his dad was driving past a couple of people from school. He didn’t have to but it seems like he thinks the worst of things first. He also thinks so down at himself. When people in his old school said that they missed him which was something he didn’t expect. He didn’t think that people would actually miss seeing him or even think of him.
And to top it off miles’ anxiety even controls his powers. When feeling any way anxious he turns invisible. Not just in a fight or flight moments, because when he became overwhelmed with the different spidermans trying to teach him. He turned invisible to run away from the situation.
Miles’ parents are even aware with his anxiety. When he runs back home to sleep there for the night. You can hear his mother’s talking about that he can be a bit “sensitive”. They know that miles keeps somethings inside and has problems with expressing his feelings. This leaving a gap between his father and himself.
And last, we can see that miles has major difficulty handling his emotions by myself and gets very overwhelmed very quickly. He doesn’t really have a coping method to calm himself down. He tried to call his uncle when feeling stressed or overwhelmed. He goes to his parents house aswell. He had to learn a coping method (which was music) when trying unstick himself because he didn’t know how to calm himself down.
Pretty much. Miles is a precious anxious boy that needs to be protected.
me, sitting on a throne barechested but wearing ornately engraved plate armor on my arms and legs and cloaked in fine almost translucent silks with an enormous snake draped over my shoulders: i got lost in the fantasy of this dope outfit and forgot what kinda post i was gonna make
Friendly reminder that while cosplaying Spider Gwen is awesome, wearing actual pointe shoes without formal training isn’t! Pointe shoes are expensive, uncomfortable and you could get seriously hurt! You’d be much better off with some neon turquoise Chuck Taylor’s or non-pointe ballet shoes 😄 Never sacrifice your safety for accuracy.
I an attest!!!! Ballet for a few years in these and they are VERY DANGEROUS IF YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT YOU’RE DOING!! Please be safe!!
