Earth vs. the Spider (1958)
Tumblr media
The only times Earth vs. the Spider isn’t predictable is when it forgets about basic storytelling rules and logic. Made on the cheap, featuring lousy special effects, with a misleading title and characters so unfazed by what’s going on you'll wonder if they're on drugs, it manages to become “so bad it’s good” thanks to its brisk running time.
When her father disappears one night, Carol (June Kenney) investigates with her boyfriend, Mike (Eugene Persson). Near his wrecked truck, they find a cavern and inside, a gigantic tarantula. With the help of science teacher Mr. Kingman (Ed Kemmer) and the initially incredulous authorities, the small bands together to defeat this threat.
The film’s title implies the spider is a threat to all mankind but really, it’s only after the small town. In fact, when the townspeople call for help, their efforts fail and they're left to deal with the man-eating arachnid on their own. It’s no surprise when we learn that their message didn’t reach the military because the messenger was eaten - probably the best bit of writing in this entire film.
What makes Earth vs. the Spider funny is how nonchalant everyone is. When searching for Mr. Flynn, Carol and Mike discover two human skeletons in the tarantula’s cave. Do they scream? Do they even seem surprised? Hardly. They don’t even bring these bones to the attention of the Sheriff when trying to prove there's danger in the cave. Later on, the spider is killed (or is it?) and brought to the high school for study. Its corpse is lying belly-up in the gym but the local cool cats need a spot to practice their instruments. Is the deceased eight-legged freak going to stop them from having a good time? No. In fact, their practice turns into a full-on school dance until their music wakes the thing up and it starts tearing the building apart! Finally, with the creature’s rampage resumed, you’d think Carol and Mike would you know, run for the hills, seek shelter, etc. Instead, they wander back into the cave so the lady can get the necklace she misplaced. I know it was the last thing her father gave her, but wouldn’t you rather live?!
Between the 40-year-olds pretending to be teenagers (Troy Patterson as Joe has to be the worst offender) and the hairy sticks being waved in front of the camera (they’re supposed to be spider legs), you’ll notice some of the most unhelpful authorities ever featured in a giant monster movie. It’s like the Sheriff doesn’t care that everyone he knows could soon be spun into silky cocoons. He basically leaves it up to Mr. Kingman - a high school teacher - to get this disaster resolved and only begrudgingly helps out. The teacher’s solution? If you don’t see it coming, I don’t know what to tell you. It’s foreshadowed as subtly as a 30-foot case of arachnophobia skittering down Main Avenue.
Everything wrong with Earth vs. the Spider makes it very easy to make fun of and before you run out of spider puns, the movie’s over. It offers unintentional silliness all the way to the end, which is one of the most inconclusive final moments I’ve seen in a while. In any other movie, it would be a setup for a sequel. Here? It’s just proof someone wasn’t paying attention. I won’t say it’s a “have a good time at its expense classic” but if you put in the effort, you can enjoy yourself plenty. (July 27, 2022)

My favourite thing EVER is the little sub fandom that’s currently all of my tiktok fyp of Peter Parker in Gotham.
Like- I could go on for hours about how amazing theses fics are, but even on a sentimental level it’s so fucking cool to see.
Spider-Man (and the MCU in general) was literally my entire childhood. Ultimate Spider-Man? Avengers Assemble? Earth’s Mightiest Heroes? Little six year old me was drawing fanart before I even knew what fanart WAS. Andrew Garfield? #1 Celebrity crush growing up. The Marvel Cinematic Universe? I have my walls covered in posters, my laptop wallpaper is that one Cap vs Thanos’ army scene from endgame and I have an infinity gauntlet lamp on my bedside table.
Recently though, like October 2022, I’ve been obsessed with the batfam and DC in general. Learning as much as I can about the comics, watching all the CW tv shows (including titans) and all the movies. Hell- I’ve been watching shows like Young Justice (which was another childhood show), Teen Titans (03) + the tie-in comics for both, the Justice League animated series, and so many other that I’m blanking on.
It’s so fucking cool to see people who love Spider-Man and Marvel find these fics and start asking how to get into DC and vice versa. Like- humans are so fucking cute man idk T°T

Earth-65 Is NOT in the 90s
I had seen this come up both in tumblr and in twitter, in twitter actually getting decent numbers for some reason; and while I don't think there is a lot of people making that mistake (YET) I setting the record straight.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
There are smartphones in all of these pictures, Gwen has one since the first movie.
I had seen some people go with "well is an alternate universe so maybe-" and by that logic you can say this is 2099 and they are behind.
I think this just annoys me because I know exactly where the people are getting these ideas, and it amounts to people 1) Not reading 2) The old telephone game of parroting stuff without checking.
Tumblr media
This is from the Across the Spider-verse Artbook. As you can see, it hints at being inspired by the 90s, but that vs being actually the 90s is a big difference.
And again, the LOOK in the comics, the comics are also not set in the 90s; and even if they were, the Spider-Gwen comics canon are SO laughably different the idea of that being a defence is hysterical.

Stitch, BayMax, Emi I would love all 3 there to be fanart!!!! There will be many Disney references in my Ken Sato Story. ‘Outgrown’
Ken & Hana would be so David & Nani coded. 🥺🫶🏽🤭🖤✨
I’ll may or may not make an au with Baymax and a separate one with Stitch. And one with all 3 characters🥺🖤✨
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I feel love these characters Emi would love them so so much!!! I need fan art of Stitch & Emi!!!
Maybe a bigger version of stitch meeting Emi or her as pocket sized Emi, Ken & Reader meeting Lilo, the whole Ohana. In the fic.
Emi would jump up and down excitedly to see Stitch and do the Kaiju Godzilla dance with her. Especially on how many times Stitch would imitate the huge spider ("Earth vs. the Spider" (1958) ) kaiju in the first Lilo & Stitch movie. And the family watching "Them!" (1954)

Baymax & Emi!!! Fanart!!! I feel like she would deflate him😭😭😭🫶🏽 bless her.

My Irondad fic recs!
I thought of doing this because why not? Admittedly, I'm not reading as much fanfiction as I did a couple years ago, but some fics have changed my life entirely. In case I forgot one, I'll add it later!
I would’ve organized this in a bullet list, but Tumblr hates me and invented a character limit for that. So this is going to be long and will be under the cut. Anyway, let’s do this!
Rare and Sweet As Cherry Wine by loubuttons – I've mentioned this one before, but this fic right here was what inspired me to write my own Irondad works. One very particular detail I like about it is how it portrays Maria, Tony's mother. It's not what I usually see in other fics about Tony's childhood, since they tend to make Howard the big bad parent. Of course, this is because I personally related to it, as I don't believe in the "bad parent vs. good parent". I also like that it praises Edwin Jarvis as the one who looked out for Tony the most. It's pretty realistic and a very melancholic character study, IMO. *TW for abuse and neglect*
You're Always Iron Man by madasthesea – a very short fic but I absolutely love the premise. Takes place after the big battle in Iron Man 2, and Tony finds little Peter again. They have a very endearing interaction. The following chapter is also very cute!
Nothing like a fresh cup of humiliation in the morning by madasthesea – Pure fluff! This one is probably a classic in the Irondad fandom. Tony kisses Peter's forehead without second thought. Shenanigans ensue. It's so adorable and funny. If you just want to read fluff without angst, this one is for you.
when my body won't hold me anymore (where will I go) by madasthesea - I think I heard about this fic thanks to @/irondadfics here on Tumblr, but I might be wrong since I already knew the Nice work, kid series. Anyway, Peter is believed to be dead, so Tony (and the rest of the Avengers team) is mourning him. In reality, Peter is astral projecting. You know, sort of like how Stephen Strange, in his first movie, was fighting a guy in the other dimension while his body on Earth was struggling to live. That's basically what happens. Strange appears, of course, and saves the day. And I pretty much LOVE the presumed dead trope. I don't know why. Maybe it's the angst of it all. *TW for grief/mourning and temporary character death*
The Reason by doctornineandthreequarters – I think I read this one when I was still writing Oh, take me back to the start. I was looking for fics for inspiration, and I found this one. During the Time Heist in Endgame, Tony remembers the reason he's fighting to bring everyone else back. It's very emotional.
Couch Cuddles by happyaspie – Classic sickfic, but with more fluff than anything. I like rereading it when I feel lonely and touch-starved, especially when I'm also sick like Peter.
You’re So Much Like Me (I’m Sorry) by SpaceCowboysFromMars – Irondad + Miles Morales! Peter is an adult in this, and he freaks out when an injured Miles arrives in his apartment. Tony gives him some wisdom about mentoring and parenting. I don’t usually find Irondad stories featuring Miles (and not necessarily a Spider-Verse crossover), so this was a nice discovery. Peter & Miles & Tony is a very underrated trio IMO. *TW for slight gore*
I'm Glad I Have You by punkybunny – Peter has been having a rough time, dealing with loneliness as Aunt May is not home often, and with bullying at school... until he finally has the chance to spend time with Tony. However, the demons don't disappear completely. Obviously, more Hurt/Comfort, lmao. *TW for nightmare/bad dream*
I Want to Trust You by punkybunny – Actually part of a series that, admittedly, I haven't read all the other stories. But even this one is a very interesting concept on its own. This is a Hydra Peter AU, after Peter has been rescued. He gets sick but given his past in Hydra, he thinks Tony is going to get angry. Peter is proven wrong when Tony helps him get better. The ending is very adorable. I'll see if I can read the rest of the series one day. *TW for past abuse and experimentation*
what you think I've done wrong by ironxprince – I don't often read Biodad stories as you all know, but I was, again, looking for inspiration for You keep me searching for a heart of gold, and I stumbled across this one. Basically Peter, as Tony's biological son, finally meets Howard. It goes as well as you think /sarcasm. *TW for physical abuse*
i, in time, will climb my mountain by ironxprince – This one is heavy. Once again, Peter is Tony's bio son, and he's suicidal. Every time Peter attempts suicide, he buys a new plant. Tony doesn't know this, so he's confused as to why there are so many plants in their house. I love this one, but of course, I try to read it when I’m not having a really bad day. *Once again, TW for suicide attempts*
how do you get that lonely (and nobody knows?) by parkrstark – Yeah... another heavy one. Peter attempts suicide but he saves himself before he reaches the ground. With that, he goes to Tony. This ends happily, don't worry. *TW for suicide attempt*
When You Can't Sleep by Emily_F6 – Pretty much Tony comforting a sleepy Peter, who has just had a nightmare about Thanos. Just Hurt/Comfort and domestic fluff. *TW for mention of death*
i get by (but it's eating me alive) by Livinei – Honestly, I think this is the BEST May's Abusive Boyfriend story I've ever read. For one, none of the characters are oblivious nor dismissive of Peter's feelings. May isn't neglectful and Ned actually tries to encourage Peter to tell someone. I also like that Peter isn't completely helpless. I don't usually see those things in other fics with this trope, sadly. And of course, Protective Tony is my weakness. *TW for emotional and physical abuse*
Hold Me Together by An_Odd_Idea – Post-Endgame where Tony is alive, and Peter and Tony are both trying to cope, so they rely on each other. Pure Hurt/Comfort.
A Tremendous Thing by ExpectoPatronum – Possibly one of my favorite Irondad stories EVER. Also post-Endgame with Alive Tony (though the author better explains it in the notes, it's supposed to be part of a series, but this story can be read on its own). There are a lot of references to Charlotte's Web if you're familiar with it. Basically, it's Father's Day and Peter is feeling guilty and out of place at Tony's lake house, even though everyone is readily trying to include him. It's absolutely beautiful and painful.
Hug You I Must by spiderwriting (catch_you_later) – Probably one of the first touch-starved Peter fics I've read. I like how it describes touch-starvation as this "itchy" current in your body, something that makes you anxious. Thankfully, Peter gets his hug later on. Plus there are some Star Wars references (the title probably is one, lol). *There's some minor violence here when Peter is fighting off some bad guys, but not the focus of the fic*
When You're There With No One There To Hold, I'll Be The Arms That Reach For You by Squibbles94 – Another touch-starved Peter fic. But I really like the references to Cast Away. Ironically I saw this movie in the same year the author published this fic (dare I say SHORTLY after it was posted). I also had no idea that Cast Away was entirely about isolation. Gosh, the main character's monologue at the end ALWAYS gets to me... anyway, yeah, the peak of the pandemic was awful to me, so reading fics like this one helped tons. It still does.
I am cold by N/A (orphan account) – Peter tries to visit Tony, but he gets lost in a subway tunnel on a freezing day. Eventually we learn why Peter wanted to see Tony, but overall this is mainly domestic fluff. Everything ends well.
Sorry Pedro by PinkEasterEggs – One of the first Irondad fics I read. Peter has a nightmare about Homecoming (mainly Toomes), but he avoids waking Tony for that reason. But thanks to F.R.I.D.A.Y's protocols, Peter goes to his mentor. Tony is also super soft here and it makes my heart swoon.
you are enough by diaz_evan – Another post-Endgame fic. Arguably I began reading Irondad fics only after Endgame released. Anyway, this one is short, kinda sad but it ends well. It’s Tony’s birthday and Peter feels very anxious about what to get him as a present. Thankfully, he doesn’t need to prove his love for Tony. *TW for panic attack*
Happy Father’s Day, Mr. Stark by downeylove – There are a lot of Father’s Day fics for these two, of course, but this one takes the cake for me. It’s simple but very endearing to me. Tony obviously doesn’t have good memories of this day, but Peter changes that for the first time. It’s really cute. Plus, Pepper is here, and I love her. I wish I could read more of her interacting with Peter. *TW for mentions of alcoholism and past child abuse*
5 Times Peter Didn’t Say He Was Struggling… And The One Time He Did by Bladam_Shevine – Again, an old fic I read years ago. I admit I haven’t re-read it in a while, but I remember enjoying it and even saving it to read offline. It’s basically what it says in the title: Peter struggles in many ways and he initially refuses help. Tony is always there to reassure him he can count on him. Bruce is here if you like him! And MJ helps Peter on one of the chapters as well. The chapters might get heavier as they go, but it ends on a hopeful note. *TW for injury, panic attack, suicide attempt (it doesn’t involve Peter), and depression*
The Good Days and the Bad by SoupGirlLovesSoup - Peter has had a bad day, now he's cuddling with Tony. It takes a while before Peter finally tells him what happened. It gets sad, but it's mostly fluff and it ends hopefully. I love re-reading it when I need the comfort. *TW for mention of suicide attempt, depression, and bullying*
Breathe Again by gwenoakley - Post-Endgame where Tony survives. He's recovering in the hospital and Peter finally reunites with him. Before that, though, we can feel the anxiety and trauma Peter feels. Definitely makes me emotional. It's the ending they deserved.
Popsicles and Playgrounds by ironfamjam - I can't believe I forgot to save this one in my bookmarks. I used to re-read this all the time! It's an AU where MIT student Tony meets a kid Peter. Eventually, Tony becomes Peter's babysitter! This is part of a series, which I still have to read fully. It's such a wholesome idea!! <3 *Howard's bad parenting is mostly mentioned*
Well, for now this is it! Again, I might add more fics here. I think I also could make a list of what particular concepts I want to read more in Irondad stories, so maybe you guys could give me your own recs. I might try to resume my habit of reading Irondad fics, because they give me a lot of comfort. Thanks for reading this far! I hope you enjoy any of the stories I included.
(I'm aware some authors here have their accounts on Tumblr, but I didn't want to annoy anyone by tagging them, so yeah 😅)
EDIT (June 4th, 2024): What Irondad fics I would like to read!
