I feel like the reaction to gnarly kinda shows how much music has been monetized like no one's actually trying to understand the song (music IS poetry), they just see a surface level meaning of the lyrics and a beat they don't like and click off. You don't have to like it and I'm not tryna say gnarly is a super meaningful song but y'all could at least try to dig a bit deeper (like how gnarly can mean something good or bad. I choose to believe the tesla name drop was said with negative connotations š). And I get it, I liked the sound they had at debut too, but guys, music is about expression and evolving. Getting your art shoved into a box is so frustrating, I wish we could treat art as art and not just as a commodity
THE CHROME SPIDER - (SPIDERVERSE DR #1 INTRO)
okay, letās do this one last time.
hi, my nameās venoria kingston, and iām earth-404ās friendly neighborhood spider-woman (that everyone kind of has beef with for some reason?). my official name is the chrome spiderā¦i just happen to be a woman and a āspiderā, so people think that other name is easier.
not as cool, but whateverā¦
letās get one thing straight: i was not bitten by a real spider. i made my own spider. originally, it was meant to be a drone-type mechanism for a science project, but there was a malfunction and the spider ābitā me. the fluids i used to power the machine fused with my blood, and instead of poisoning me or hurting me, i became the chrome spider.
still donāt understand the scientific basis of that, butā¦hopefully miguel will figure it out!
shortly after that event, the whole debacle with kingpin happened. i got transported into milesā earth, and let me tell you, it was a learning curve. people were using devices i read about in textbooks ā they were like ancient relics to me. my earth is set in the far future, the future with flying cars and androids that could be your philosophy teacher or your math tutor. so imagine my surprise when i saw cars, with rubber wheels, on the ground.
iām getting distracted. anyways, during my time wandering through new york without a clue as to why iām there, i met miles, noir, gwen, and peter, who are still my friends to this day. after everything was resolved, i went back to my earth, earth-404.
while the multiverse crossover was happening, my sister, yvonne, went missing. iām still looking for her to this day, and iām determined to find her. thatās why i went to miguel for help. he has the tech to jump from universe to universe, and i have a goal i am hellbent on completing. now iām part of the spider society, simultaneously doing grunt work for miguel and narrowing down where my sister is.
surely nothing else can go wrong. right?
ABILITY OVERVIEW
chromium (chrome metal) manipulation⦠i can materialize liquid chrome from my fingertips and basically create whatever i want out of it. i use this mainly to create body armor, weapons, shields, and restraints.
electricity overload⦠due to my spider suit, i have electrical abilities that are enhanced with my chrome. i can overload certain signals or machines with direct contact.
coding efficiencyā¦
hacking efficiencyā¦
web slinging⦠i have artificial webs that are kept in my wrist gauntlets. these webs can also be hardened by my chrome to secure their durability and resistance, though once they are coated, they cannot move from their initial position.
jet boots⦠on the bottom of the boots of my suit, i have small jet boosters that can enhance my attacks and fly me up into the air, enhancing my web slinging as well.
chrome-coated motorcycle⦠i just have a cool tron-like motorcycle with extra armor on. cause i can!
END OF INTRO ā HAPPY SHIFTING!

your quintessential iondarian cool girl. charmingly mild mannered and quiet with a thinly veiled rebellious edge, and a great love for philosophy & classic literature. but im hiding two big secrets...im both a spider person and the descendant of a long line of powerful witches.
awakening story ; i was in a devastating car crash during the end of my freshman year of high school, i woke up with strange powers and my kwamii, webb, at my side. i dont exactly know why any of it happened, but webb for some reason has knowledge of witchcraft (albeit limited) and she assists me in perfecting the art of magic and my miraculous powers.

yeeeahh so in my DR he's literally a werewolf?? uhm anyways, we started hanging out when he was starting to "change". in that time, he had terrible health and uncharacteristic mood swings. any typical werewolf transition era would be shitty, but his was especially bad. since im a witch, i used little spells to help my new found friend from the sidelines. eventually my tricks werent enough, and i had to pull out the big guns--summoning & making a contract with the wolf miraculous to keep him alive (omitting the explanation to why this works, and im sure the whole story is a bit confusing already...). since then he had a "special" bond with me, not because of any magical or supernatural shit, but gratitude and a great deal of respect.
used to date marionette before me, and i used to date adrien. talk about awkward!
"why a werewolf, pheenix? š¤Ø" cause theyre hot???
one of my least favourite aspects of the wider harry potter universe is the lack of interest that the author has in fleshing out the universe. there are so many questions that i, as a shifter and fundamentally curious person, have about how magic works, different magical societies and more.
the map above is a map of all the wizarding schools in the world. not many, right? and to top it all off, the way they perform magic is identical between schools. again, ridiculous.
in reality, this is not how society works. i'll use philosophy as an example; eastern and western philosophies are fundamentally different due to how isolated these two geocultural entities were from each other and how their values were intrinsically different, especially in the past.
so, when i was narrowing down my harry potter reality, i decided to make my own version of illvermorny school that i felt was far more fleshed out compared to the vague, uninteresting backstory that the author gave.
maybe if she spent less time being a transphobic prick and more time actually writing an interesting story, i wouldn't have to do this, but i digress.
here's illvermorny, where i attended school in my dr. (as an additional note, i spelt illvermorny with a double l at first without realising that it was one l, but it eventually stuck because i thought it looked better.)
there are about 200 or something magic schools in the world. most are small, regional schools focused on providing a decent education in magic to open up doors. some, like durmstrang/beauxbatons/hogwarts/illvermorny, are incredibly prestigious, open to only the absolute best students or those from prestigious families.
illvermorny college of magic was founded when the first pilgrims settled in america, unaware of the wizarding stowaways on the mayflower. although the indigenous peoples of america have their own magic traditions, the few wizards that snuck onto america to escape the chaos of england after the founding of hogwarts were the ones that brought the āspell systemā of magic to the country. the first students at illvermorny were young, muggleborn wizards and witches, the first of its kind. indigenous students were allowed to study as well, creating a culture of magic that went beyond the typical pureblood-muggleborn dichotomy of europe and britain. the school's first few years were incredibly proseporous as the magical community thrived in early america.
eventually, however, suspicions rose amongst muggles about illvermorny and the earliest recorded witch trials happened. young wizards and witches were rounded up like cattle and burned at the stake for so-called satanic activity.
only a couple of wizarding families managed to escape, trekking up to applachia, creating modern illvermorny. early modern illvermorny had many strange, outright cultish rituals due to its isolation.
the school only started accepting new students during the british colonisation period, through a scouting program thats famous across the world for its scale and intensity; illvermorny scouts are said to be absolutely everywhere in america, mexico and canada. students outside these countries have to personally message principal regis to request an interview.
the modern school has no dorms and no sorting totally unlike hogwarts. rather, there are three housing towers where students stay, named after water (maem), fire (iesh), air (avir), the three classical elements. - students live, eat and sleep in these dorms, where the majority of their relationships will be formed. along with that, there are 5 covens active at illvermorny, which is how extracurricular student relationships are fostered.
students board k-12 and spend all of their youth at the school. classes operate on a university style elective system for years 7+ where different timing of classes and professors are highly valued.
there is no uniform or dress code during class, however there is a formal uniform for special occassions.
wands in illvermorny is very different to hogwarts. wands are highly customisable, and typically glass blown by artisans. they are made for the user, customised to their preference. a famous wand making family is the van der zee family.
the actual curriculum at illvermorny in the early years is focused on practical applications of magic. spells are taught exclusively non-verbally at first, and wandless as well. in senior years, high specialisation in fields is prized, particularly because illvermorny values academic rigour. - illvermorny participates in the quadwizard tournament with beauxbatons, hogwarts and durmstrang, and have won 200 years in a row.
blood purity is not nearly as prized by american wizards. rather, wealth is. wealthy, old money, prominent families such as the hastings of pennsylvania rule over american wizarding society. although these oligarchs claim to care about progress, what they value most is maintaining their power.
on another note, american wizarding society is very secretive. the oldest wizarding families have almost no interactions with ānomajsā due to their fear of persecution. each state in america has its own magic community, but the two most prominent ones are in NY and california. a strong rivalry exists between these factions.
the strongest debate in american magical politics is that of the nomaj problem. so-called traditionalists and progressives argue about nomajās connection to magical society, if families of magical students should be aware of their status and even if nomaj should be allowed to interact with magical beings at all, even in a non-magical context.
"at the end of the day, she's who I want by my side: always."
.ā youngests of the group, horror movies at night -> ending up in the same bed, platonic love, roommates, sisterhood since DA, the princess and the popstar, deadlyĀ unseriousĀ combo, extrovert x introvert, "yuh huh" "nuh uh", high pitched screams over the dumbest things, shakespeare reincarnated x needs a translator to understand her (dyslexic), 'us in the Ikea showroom pretending to be a married toxic couple' kinda vibes.

"DESiRE:ME, NOT WHO YOU WANT ME TO BE..."
ILL-IT's sister concept :: a psychological thriller 'romance' where reality is too perfect yet nothing is what it seems to be.
"pleasure, devotion, validation, generosity, deprivation, and purity."
LORE:
The girls all had one thing in common: delusion. Bonded by shared psychosis (folie Ć duex), six girls fall into a comforting lieātheir relationships are "special", not as harmful as others make it out to be. It's manipulation, obsession, fear- romance, admiration, love. It feels like home, so it must be.
Their sisterhood is what's keeping the relationships alive: they enable, comfort, tell each other: this is love.
But what happens when the delusions end in murder death?
DESiRES:
YUUNA ā purity :: lust in disguise
SOPHIA ā devotion :: sloth in disguise
LARA ā pleasure :: envy in disguise
DANIELA ā deprivation :: gluttony in disguise
MEGAN ā generosity :: greed in disguise
MANON ā validation :: pride in disguise
šll under the control of LOVE wrath in disguise.
