I know I'm going through a lot right now but I am definitely not hallucinating

WAS NO ONE GOING TO TELL ME ABOUT THE CRIME FIGHTING TURTLES IN THE FUCKING SEWERS?!

Me, holding a pot of coffee and a bowl of cereal: What if I put coffee in my cereal instead of milk?

Dr. Octavius, taking away the coffee: What if you didn't?

Oh! I have those! Technically they're just acne scars that caused the luciferins to become concentrated under my skin, but they're still glowing freckles!

bioluminescent freckles

My thoughts on Spider-Man

no sense of color theory. The man really said "two primary colors should definitely be my brand." My dude, if you're gonna do that, at least heavily desaturate/darken one of them.

why is the blue so shiny??

cannot make tea. I think he microwaved it with the teabag in the cup, and it hurts my soul.

chatty. how does he come up with quips so quickly?

He needs more friends. I saw him talking to a moth yesterday.

cannot glow. Lame :0P

short.

T-minus 10 minutes! Sound the alarms!

I am so nervous, and I'm only doing the talking parts of the presentation.

Meanwhile, Dr. Octavius looks as cool as a cucumber. I know our invention works. We've both tested it, but now we have to convince a bunch of blank faced folks in suits that it's worth their money.

Deep breaths, Frankie.

The Doc is wearing our project for the presentation. It'll help him handle the dangerous materials for his fancy new reactor.

We got this.

Totally forgot to mention, the CEO of Oscorp is a villian now.

She showed up like a month after the Vanishing but I was so busy with other stuff that it slipped my mind. Her name is Nora Osborn, and she's taken to calling herself "Green Goblin." Not sure what that's about, but she's completely unhinged, and loves to throw bombs shaped like pumpkins?

I went to middle school with her daughter, but we haven't talked in a while. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[ask-aurachnid]

Oh gods, I have done that so many times lmao

It's a miracle that no one has figured me out.

made another dent in the lunchroom table

[ask-aurachnid]

Wait... is Daredevil blind?!

[ask-aurachnid]

No no no no no-- What the fuck was that?

What just happened?

[ask-aurachnid]

My spider-sense is going haywire.

I'm still waiting for the Emergency Census folks to find me, but I-- I feel like my skin is crawling constantly. My jaw is buzzing all the time and I don't know why.

It's not as bad when I'm on patrol, but-- something is definitely wrong. I've checked the apartment a dozen times over and I still can't find any reason why.

I don't know what's wrong. What is happening anymore?

My family is a little wonky, by nature of having a surrogate mom.

My dad was an only child, though he was close to his Army buddies that I refer to a few of them as my uncles, though I haven't kept in touch with them. He didn't really keep in touch with his parents cause they didn't approve of him joining the Army, and they got real bent out of shape about him being deployed again right after I was born. Long story. My papa has a sister, my Aunt Sarah who's technically my mom. She's married and has two kids of her own, who I saw occasionally. They're both a bit younger than me. Both of my papa's parents passed when I was pretty young.

So really, at the moment, it's just my Aunt (+cousins) and my estranged grandparents.

question:

do any of my fellow spiders come from big families? are you in touch with your relatives? estranged? if so, why?

I have an older sister, who I don’t mention much but love dearly. I try not to talk to my mom’s side of the family, ‘cause they annoy me (especially my aunts’ boyfriend, Jirk) but my family on my dad’s side is pretty big and connected and I like them for the most part.

spent the last few days trying to take pictures of myself that look like someone else took them. It's harder than expected. A lot of them ended up blurry, or completely impossible for a normal person to capture.

if nothing else, they'll be cool to post here I guess.

[ask-aurachnid]

the job search has been slow.

I've looked everywhere and only found a few options, the most promising of which is... humiliating, to say the least.

The Daily Bugle wants pictures... of Arachnikid.

I can't believe that I'm seriously considering selling my selfies to that rag so they can libel me even further.

Hey! I heard tomorrow/today is pride month? I mean, not for me. It's actually October here at the moment, but happy Pride Month my friends. I hope it's filled with acceptance and joyful memories!

You're all super valid and I love you all

good to know he's like that in other universes. "Guns N Roses" though? I am definitely gonna steal that. I can't wait to see his face!

Did Punisher just call me kid? Excuse me Guns N Roses but I've been decking muggers in the face since before the television was invented.

Kids these days.

Friends, I may have a bit of a death wish.

I don't know what happened. I just got so mad about that article, that I tracked down Castle, called him by his full name, and yelled at him?? I may be stupid.

Good news is, he didn't kill me, and he agreed to get my name cleared. I dunno how he's gonna do that, but it is officially not my problem anymore. Bad news is, ????

I dunno. Seems pretty whack that he just like, brushed it off like that? Maybe it was the shock of being yelled at by some kid in brightly colored spandex? Whatever. I'm not gonna look a gift shark in the mouth. I'm going to bed.
