Here's my rendition of 2009 and Spider-verse noir in the sims. I love them very much and use them for inspo and references. 10/10, I think everyone should do this.
A few dumb screenshots I have plus grim below the cut <3
the part that killed me the most was somehow the "I have a guy" when talking about melvin
headcanon that matt murdock is, despite being the most outwardly unapproachable and standoffish vigilante, the most well-connected vigilante in new york. he's been there the longest and, though he tells every new vigilante he meets to "get the hell out of my city" he doesn't do it before inciting some small modicum of loyalty from the person. its mostly unintentional on his part---he's just one of those people, y'know? he draws others in even though he acts like he wants to be alone. he demands friendship while asking for distance. within five minutes of meeting spider-man, spider-man decided that DD was his mentor whether he knew it or not. frank owes him for like five separate jailbreaks. clint has been pulled out of so many dumpsters that at this point he's not sure dragging the devil out of hell would be enough repayment. the x-men love the dude because he's a weird combination of scott, logan and professor x (he's a good mentor, gruff and eerily perceptive). the defenders unofficially think of him as their leader, no matter what they say to anyone else. he met venom like a week ago and now venom is entirely willing to die for the "asshole with horns". the first time he met moon knight he saved the dude's ass, and then later jake repays that debt but really there's no count going because the entire MK system agrees that if their lawyer died it would be a fucking national emergency. he knows the avengers as well, to his own despair, and one word from their mysterious friend and they're ready to call an assemble because they, for some godsdamned reason, trust him.
Steve: we need backup. we're outnumbered. hawkeye, can you call in kate?
matt: *punching an android in the face* kate's at band practice with spidey. just a moment, ill get frank on the line. steve: *falters* frank . . . who? matt: *non-chalantly* castle. obviously. natasha: like, the man who has tried to kill you multiple times? matt: *waves it off* that's only on thursdays. we have a truse on sundays. besides, he owes me for that most recent jailbreak. steve: what the fuck
jake: *fighting hydra* this shit is way above my paygrade. this is an avengers mess. let them clean this up. matt: hang on, i think i can get tony on the phone. jake: jake: you call iron man, tony stark, one of the richest men in the world, TONY? matt: he's actually a nice dude. i think he'd assume i were sick if i called him mister stark. jake: what the fuck is your life matt: *on the phone* hey dude-
spider-man: *holds up thor's hammer* isn't mister thor off world? how did this get here? matt: idk. hold it for me, i'll let thor know he lost the fucking thing. spider-man: how? what, you have a norse god on speed dial? matt: yeah? spider-man: *chokes and drops the hammer on his foot*
natasha: damn. my suit got ripped. it'll take hours to get it fixed. matt: *thinking of how melvin was sad there was nothing to repair with the DD suit last time he visited* i have a guy
THERE IS NO DELTARUNE
THERE IS NO SILKSONG

"Do you ever dream of land?" The whale asks the tuna.
"No." Says the tuna, "Do you?"
"I have never seen it." Says the whale, "but deep in my body, I remember it."
"Why do you care," says the tuna, "if you will never see it."
"There are bones in my body built to walk through the forests and the mountains." Says the whale.
"They will disappear." Says the tuna, "one day, your body will forget the forests and the mountains."
"Maybe I don't want to forget," Says the whale, "The forests were once my home."
"I have seen the forests." Whispers the salmon, almost to itself.
"Tell me what you have seen," says the whale.
"The forests spawned me." Says the salmon. "They sent me to the ocean to grow. When I am fat with the bounty of the ocean, I will bring it home."
"Why would the forests seek the bounty of the oceans?" Asks the whale. "They have bounty of their own."
"You forget," says the salmon, "That the oceans were once their home."
being in love with a fictional character will make u produce art u didnt know u were capable of
I love this because I often wonder what their dynamic really was before the crash. were they good friends? was it toxic and manipulative? has curly gone through the same treatment, but downplays it for himself because their relationship? did the abuse only start after? It can only be assumed what the dynamic mightve been based on Curly's response to Anya and the treatment he faced post crash. It's clear that Jimmy has this inherent need for power and enjoys reveling in it, even if it's stolen. but we know nothing of anyone's past other than Swanseas. it could've been a behavior that formed after working in the tulpar or he could've always been this way. maybe he repressed it in the beginning, luring Curly into a false sense of security, and it becoming an on-and-off thing. maybe Curly repressed any memories of Jimmy ever doing anything. Maybe he even told Anya that he'd do something to comfort her, knowing he couldn't; not only because they were "friends", but because he knew what would happen to him.
Either way, Curly is both the witness and victim as you said.
Also I'm incredibly sleep deprived rn so I hope this makes sense
Curly isn’t just a “man protecting a man” from his actions, he’s an amazing juxtaposition of both victim and witness. There is an unspoken story of potential sexual abuse in the relationship between Curly and Jimmy told exclusively through the pill sequences. The choking and gasping as Curly is forced to have pill after pill shoved down his throat while Jimmy gets his own private high off of knowing the power he now holds over the ex-captain. Anya isn’t the only one being forced to take blame from her rapist, Curly experiences a similar experience as Jimmy contemplates cannibalising him, forcing his autonomy over Curly’s own and blaming him for making him do something Curly has no control over.
