Knowing now that Hobie is a teen and him being underage and having a lot of evidence for it, makes it so weird to see the smut fanart of him that people are drawing, like obviously they probably don’t know that he’s a teen and not an adult, but ugh I thought it was obvious because why would they insinuate that he has a crush on Gwen who is underage when apparently he’s an adult, like come on people you can’t just push away that evidence just cause you want to write and draw smut about him AND also hate a gay black relationship and saying it’s wrong because of the “age” when they are literally both minors. And those same people won’t even try to figure out his age just making assumptions that fit what they want.

These are just all just absolutely the hairstyles he's had over the years

Facts about hobie I want to see be brought up in fics because Miles reactions would be very interesting

1. My boy is homeless, he’s been a squatter almost all his life

2. He sometimes uses barbed wire instead of webs because he’s crazy

3. For all his big talk about not caring about labels he actually gets really defensive when people call him spider punk and not Spider-Man

4. His world is run by a fascist regime that he is currently leading a rebellion against (so it’s definitely not a place you really want to visit lol)

5. The thunderbolt department (the police) uses V.E.N.O.M suits made by president Osborn

6. Speaking of president Osborn, Hobie eventually kills him by smashing his head in with his guitar

More please 🥺

Happily!

7. Hobie does eventually set up base at the Brooklyn Community Center which I love for him

8. After he killed the president he unmaksed himself to the crowd watching

9. He was a huge fan of his worlds Gwen Stacy before she died, she was one of the most influential artist of his generation

Different dimension tomfoolery

I personally haven't gotten any pushback for my writing of punkflowerchai, punkflower, of chaipunk.

That being said I do want to address the current issue we seem to be facing when it comes to Spider Punk / Hobie Brown is ATSV

So, one of the directors for ATSV has said at one point that Hobie is 19/20. We could definitely take this as a possible confirmation for his age, easy peasy- oh wait what? The other two directors say his age isn't confirmed or up to interpretation? It wouldn't make a lick of sense for them to age all the other spiders down but not age Hobie down? It would make the love triangle implications and all implications that happened with Gwen incredibly werid? The fact that people are insisting that he is 19/20 came from insisting that a ship of two black men, punkflower, was a proship? Punkflower has been around for years? In all crossovers involving Miles Morales and Spiderpunk he's been canonically 16 in the comics? They've been shipped together for a long time and the sudden backlash and search for Hobies age that started possibly based around backlash to punkflower seems at least a litto both racially and homophobically based (I'm not gonna lie here)?

Well shit, maybe it's like you can't take one (1) director saying a character
