Wade was on the couch, shoveling frito pie into his facehole, when Spidey crawled through the window, paused, cocked his head, opened his mouth, and then closed it again.
Not Spidey’s usual M.O.
Then Spidey made a lip-zipping motion at him and dropped from the wall to the floor. His shoulders and calves had tightened, and his movements jerked instead of slinked, his body ready to spring into motion.
Hot. Mildly alarming, but hot. Spidey had sensed something.
Wade moved over to the front door to secure their exit. Katanas: check. Guns: check. Frito pie: check. He kept eating.
Spider-Man did a slow three-sixty, peering around the room, and froze with his eyes narrowed in the direction of Wade’s newest purchase: a Deadpool-themed boombox that Wade had found on Etsy. It had arrived just that morning.
Wade was going to leave such a negative review if it turned out that his boombox was actually a bomb. Not one star—it had a tape deck, a CD player, and an AUX hook-up, and Wade was all about that retro shit—but definitely negative. Maybe two stars; who couldn’t appreciate the pun of a boombox that went boom?
Spidey advanced on the boombox and ran his fingers over its surface like a snob testing the furniture for dust. Attached to his fingertip on the upswing lay a red square about the thinness of a gum wrapper and the breadth and height of a motherfucking electronic bug.
“Christ on a pogostick dildo,” Wade muttered, setting his frito pie on the Javelin anti-tank missile launcher that had been delivered along with the boombox.
He’d used his last bug detector as a bludgeon, and he kept going out to get a new one only to be distracted by one of the Big Apple’s tempting offerings: people to shoot, Spideys to please, tacos to eat, Spideys to please… Actually, maybe it was kind of appropriate that Spidey was the one helping him out here, given that he’d been so distracting.
And given that…
Heh.
His name was Spider-Man.
And he’d found a—
Found a b—
Wade made desperate crab pinching motions at Spidey.
Spidey interpreted his hand signals like a boss and crushed the bug into itsy bits between his freakishly strong spider-digits.
Wade squealed. “Holy exterminator, Spider-Man! You caught an actual-fact bug in your not-so-actual-fact web! Fly swatter, more like spy swatter!”
“See, this is why I don’t tell people.” Spidey scratched at the back of his neck.
Wade put his hand to his chest and batted his eyes even though only the bottom half of his face was visible. “Awww, and you told little old me?” It always made Wade’s heart grow three sizes when Spidey showed him one of his spidery secrets.
Spidey shrugged. “I figured you’d want your ‘Workin’ 9 to 5’ serenades to be private.”
Wade settled one hand on his cocked hip and put on a country accent. “I ain’t never got no shame over Ms. Parton, Websy.”
“I was also trying to avoid mentioning the Nickelback.” Spidey gestured at the CD organizer next to the boombox, which was open to Now That’s What I Call Music! Volume 10.
Now That’s What I Call Music! Volume 10 had Nickelback’s “How You Remind Me” on it, and after the Britney Spears and JLo songs, Wade had definitely planned on belting out the “I SAID I LOVE YOU AND I SWEAR I STILL DO” and “SCREAM ARE WE HAVING FUN YET?” lines extremely loudly and emotionally, possibly before shooting himself. Not his ideal recording to have in the hands of his enemies.
“Your sacrifice is appreciated, Spidey.”
Spidey gave a sloppy salute.
Wade narrowed his eyes. “Hang on. How do you know which songs are on that CD?”
“Oh wow, some frito pie! And what’s that? I think my spider senses are tingling…” As he darted towards the window, Spidey webbed Wade’s bowl from the missile launcher to his hand.
Wade wouldn’t be fast enough to catch him; instead, he lunged for the boombox and frantically inserted the CD. “Don’t think I don’t know what your 2002 jam is!” He mashed the skip button.
Spidey hovered near the window, about to be hoisted by his own curiosity. “No way,” he said. “There’s twenty songs on that CD. No way you guess right.”
“Oh, yeah? Well, listen TO THIS!” Wade stopped the disc on song 15.
A piano melody started to play.
“Oh my god,” Spidey said. He dropped the bowl onto the counter and his face into his hand.
“Makin’ my way downtown, walkin’ fast, faces pass, and I’m homebound!” Wade sang along with Vanessa Carlton. He pointed at Spidey and walked over. “Starin’ blankly ahead, blankly ahead, making my way through the crowd…Take it, Spidey! Dun-nuh-nuh-nuh-nuh-nuh—”
“And I need you!” Spidey stifled a laugh.
“Dun-nuh-nuh-nuh-nuh-nuh—” Wade shoved the frito pie spoon, microphone-like, into Spidey’s hand.
“And I miss you!” Spidey sang into the spoon.
“Dun-nuh-nuh-nuh-nuh-nuh— chorus time, go!”
Spidey leaned into the spoon. “AND NOW I WONNNDER…IF I COULD FALL…INTO THE SKY…” He tilted the spoon at Wade.
“DO YOU THINK TIME…WOULD PASS ME BY…”
They sang the rest together: “CAUSE YOU KNOW I’D WALK A THOUSAND MILES IF I COULD JUST SEE YOU…TONIGHT.”
“Hey,” Wade said after their duet ended. The dulcet sounds of Celine Dion (song number 16) faded into the background, helped by his hand on the volume knob. “Could you check my bedroom for bugs, too?”
Spidey sighed. “For electronic surveillance, Pool. Don’t get any ideas.”
Wade crossed his heart (and his fingers behind his back).
“But,” Spidey said, “even if the rest of the place is clean, maybe we should check the Switch for bugs too. You know. With the very advanced spider technique of playing it.” Spidey fidgeted.
“Going once, going twice, SOLD, to the Deadpool with the color-coordinated boombox!” Wade mimed banging a gavel.
Pretty good for a day in which Wade had been considering shooting himself to a Nickelback soundtrack. And Spidey ate all his frito pie, so he didn’t even have to deal with any gross leftovers!
The next day, Wade did some investigating and posted his Etsy review: This seller attached an electronic monitoring device to the product, BUT someone threatened their family to get them to do it, so, what can you do, ammirite? Took out that trash for you btw, np. The CD player, tape deck, and AUX all work great, the speakers are nice and loud, and the design is chef-kiss. 5 stars for immaculate engineering, 0 stars for being unwilling to sacrifice the lives of your friends and loved ones for a faceless customer with a poop emoji in their username, 5 stars again for being bribed into letting me be a repeat client despite all the bloodstains. Looking forward to the Spider-Man-themed iPod with webby wired earbuds!
Author's note: for those who don't know what frito pie is, it's basically corn chips with ground beef and cheese (and assorted miscellaneous) on top, kind of like nachos. Regardless of its status as a family dish, it is an absolutely bachelor kind of meal.

hiii
u know that drawing u posted of david and darlin in their uniforms w the axes, first of all im still drooling over it
but also what's the meaning behind their tattoos? im especially interested in the snake 👁👁
-🦀
Crab anon!! I’ve missed you!!!
So I’m actually so passionate about Darlin’s tattoos. That’s why their face tattoos made an appearance in the text of the story. The face tattoos are designed to be shitty, scratcher tattoos and for those that aren’t familiar with the term, it refers to tattoos done by unskilled or unliscenced artists. They tend to go too deep into the skin and blow out, go too light and fade quickly, and get infected because of the poor hygienic practices that comes along with not working in a sterile environment.

This is slightly older art of them, and the tattoos have changed a bit, but it works for this demonstration. For the tattoos that Quinn put there, there are three X’s under their left eye, a Q in their right Dimple, and the word “PRECIOUS” over their right eyebrow. In my heart, they have 0903 on their left temple, which they got a week after Gabe died. The scythe and snake on their cheek would come later on. Those are more statistic choices than meaningful ones, but they do like the morbid vibes of having a scythe over Gabe’s death date.
As for the sleeve!! I actually have much better art of it. I sketched out firefighter Darlin and hated every part of it EXCEPT their sleeve. It was my second pass at Darlin’s tattoos and I just love the way that the tattoos came out with the sketch brush I use.
So!! Then burning house!! It’s funny to them as a firefighter to have a burning house tattoo. Just a lil joke for themself. It’s also…. Look have you ever heard that quote “if you grow up with an angry man in your house there will always be an angry man in your house?” That is the vibe they were trying to cultivate with it. They feel like they grew up in a burning house and now they keep running into fires.
The pomegranate!! It didn’t make an appearance in the firefighter uniform drawing, just since it was a less detailed one, but I love it in this one. I like a pomegranate as a nod to Darlin’s canon universe themes. Just… the imagery of pomegranates representing hedonistic pleasure and consumption??? And the ties to Persephone, the Greek goddess of spring who is married to married to Hades, the King of the Underworld. I like the vibes of a dance with death, both tying to their relationships with vampires and their recklessness, which is present in both canon and the au.
I’m gonna be so real with you Crab Anon… the snake was just because it looks cool. I like the idea that the snake being a venomous species native to Washington, sort of like Darlin themself. You can’t see it in this drawing, but the tongue of the spider is wrapped around their middle finger. Despite having a lot of face tattoos, that was their most painful one, getting tattooed in the finger webbing.
This sketch was the origin of the “ALL YOU HAVE IS YOUR FIRE” tattoo I gave to Damien in that one shot I wrote. I think the vibes are great for FFAU Darlin.
Also!! As a note!!! Darlin has knuckle tattoos! They spell “GOOD LUCK.” That was actually Asher’s idea.
So yeah!! There’s all of the meanings!!

In Bulgaria’s western Balkan Mountains, a flower crab spider matches a spring pheasant’s-eye bloom in a color-change process that takes a few days. The arachnid is an ambush predator: It doesn’t build webs but lies in wait to pounce on its prey.

OC in 15 Tag Game
Thanks to the @the-down-upside-finch for the tag! It was forever ago and I think I need to redo my Tumblr intro to warn people that I do all my replies in bursts and I still love you all...
Rules: Share 15 or fewer lines of dialogue from an OC, ideally lines that capture the character/personality/vibe of the OC. Bonus points for just using the dialogue without other details about the scene, but you're free to include those as well!
I will, of course, be honoring my beloved Arlasaire today with a combo of spoken dialogue and narration. That being said, I don't really write good out-of-context bangers lines lol -- everything only barely works because of the context. (I wish I was. I'm not that cool though.)
"And it was my fault! Because I wasn’t enough!"
"You don’t care about me."
"You don’t know me."
"Nesa… I warned Zal so I’ll warn you too: I’m not very good at relationships."
"…I’m not a lady. The Aftokratoria has stripped away our titles, remember?"
"I was just House d’Magnia’s ward. They took me in after a Dragonstorm burnt down my village. Fed me. Trained me. Gave me purpose."
On that first day after they found me, — back before I was “Arlasaire”— I’d been the one to kill the spider crabs chasing Lord Einharde’s second lieutenant.
"Lord Einharde embodied the House words with all his heart. “Eshew Axiom for Ascendancy.” This made him cold, but he was good to me."
His name rotted in my memory now.
"…The Arlasaire you knew a year ago would not have slaughtered anyone, if YOU had asked."
I felt the familiar knife twist in my chest. I stifled laughter. Euphoria. What a beautiful liar…
The Burned Maiden bled from the body and it was just the girl. Just me.
"And then… I fell for this priestess lady. We kissed. And then… she also tried to kill me."
"It is too cold and dark to be kind. Spring is not like this in the North. You have to actually wear clothes."
"You… like me? Are we… a thing?"
...Guys, Arlasaire's so edgy and angsty, omg. I swear, she's actually a huge softie underneath, she's just not feeling safe in the narrative... And familiar toxicity feels safe...
So YEAH! I'd like to gently tag @maiemorrae @spideronthesun @marigold-clouds @words-after-midnight @wordswrittenbynight @nemaliwrites @cee-grice @zebee-nyx @junypr-camus and @dragonprincedawn -- and if you've done this already, feel free to just link me to the thing. Or do it again! Whatever!

Ok so I got really bored and was re-reading some of your old posts and just decided to do this randomly
Clans:
Seasons:
Spring – Snake
Summer – Butterfly (a reference to A Mid-Summer's Night Dream)
Autumn – Bat
Winter – Owl
Rainbow:
Red – Dog
Orange – Fox
Yellow – Bee
Green – Frog
Blue – Wolf
Indigo – Turtle
Purple – Cat
Pink – Pig
Four Elements:
Fire – Rooster
Earth – Bull
Water – Fish
Air – Ladybird (plays off the term ladybird and that idea of both wind and luck being everchanging)
Three Domains:
Sky – Eagle
Sea – Seahorse
Land – Rabbit
Celestial Bodies:
Sun – Panther (Lion/Tiger)
Moon – Deer
Mercury – Horse
Venus – Swan
Earth – Peafowl
Mars – Ram
Jupiter – Bear
Saturn – Mouse
Uranus – Raven
Neptune – Octopus
Pluto – Spider
No real context just did this for fun and decided to share it with you since your posts help me make it.
Interesting idea on how to group them up, and I will say, this would solve some issues.
Like, Eagle should match with air elementally, but it's also far more aggressive than air is (air is more freedom, levity, communication, and ideas while eagles are tied to strength, leadership, judgement, and justice). So tying it to sky domain over air makes a lot of sense, and it nicely works off Eagle regarded as the King of the Sky and All Birds.
The only thing that gives me pause is, well, what's the relations here? How do they work off each other? What are the unique roles that each group does or what is even unique about them? Is it just working off themes that group them up and nothing else? Is there a power pyramid? And if so, what counts as powerful? Usually it'd be the smallest group, but celestial bodies would point to divinity, so should be pretty OP.
And given all of these themes, I feel the absence of a Zodiac, given they're usually tied to seasons, stars, and the flow of time. Issues though, I don't want to do the Chinese Zodiac as animula aren't meant to be tied to one specific country, and I'm not certain if I do want to include the more eastern animals. I don't want to do Greek given that would mean doing a Scorpion and Crab. I don't really want to make a crab animula, and Scprion, given symbolism and mythology, has a lot of negatives that I feel it wouldn't be considered. There is the supposed Celtic Zodiac, but I've also seen claims that it's not official and just made up, but I've also seen that we have limited info on Celts as they didn't write stuff down and we got biased views from Roman records so

I could try and do an original Zodaic but idk how well that'd even go over. And if I kept all these groups and do a Zodiac, that would be 12-13 additional animals.
Either way, there are some good ideas here on how to group of the animula, but I need something defined, especially on these group relations and why are they even in groups instead of lumped together, what roles do each play?

something that’s been rattling in my brain is nyx who’s human has a pet/pets. definitely not a dog or cat but maybe something like a bird? small reptiles? i definitely think he’d like fish and insects, probably rodents too. i love your work and hope your doing well!
NGL he vibes with rodents
Mice and rats are his besties, guinea pigs make him hop around them in excitement(think the way a cat springs around something, fumbling rolling jumping) etc
Fish, he will sit and watch, the more colorful or intriguing the more he watches. His babies.
Insects are hit or miss though
If they're out of his garden he will treat every insect like a kitten, cooing lovingly, carrying them in his lil hands if they get inside, no fear
Anything eating his herb and veggies garden will know death however
If you have a pet that's like these? They're his babies now, sorry. Co-parenting the jumping spiders and mice and hermit crab. Your children, he has the Christmas cards ready

Zuzu's bug ventures - lots of jumping spiders (and some other guys) edition!
Took a walk and did some yard work today, since it was super warm out. Also fucken WIMDY, so I'm thinking there would've been even more bugs if it weren't. Regardless, I'm learning so much about which insects and spiders are out in early spring. Namely jumping spiders. Some of these spiders will be the same species, but they are all different individuals that I found.





















Northern plantain flea beetle (Dibola borealis). I'm sure this cute little guy would've looked really good in the sunlight, but it's still pretty!
Possibly a leafhopper of some kind. Yes that is my car, and yes I know it's filthy
Winter ant/false honey ant (Prenolepis imparis). I think this might be a queen? Apparently this is their mating season
Damsel bug (Nabis roseipennis). Kinda funky looking design. I really like the picture I got
Starting off strong, I have no idea what this bug is. Possibly a type of darkling beetle (Uloma imberbis), but I couldn't get a good photo. I realize now it would've helped to turn the flash on
A type of midge (Chironomus whitseli). Thought it was a giant mosquito at first, but I've been seeing other kinds of midges around, so that makes more sense.
Eastern boxelder bugs (Boisea trivittata). UGH. I mean, this isn't the worst of them I've seen by far. But it's still not super fun to look at
Birch catkin bug (Kleidocerys resedae). I have legitimately never heard of these before.
Possibly also a birch catkin bug, just in shadow.
A western lynx spider (Oxyopes scalaris). I swear I saw so many insects and spiders yesterday I had never seen before.
Turf running spider (Philodromus cespitum). Crab spiders are just so cool honestly. I thought this photo was neat because it looks like the spider made that scratch in the wood.
Not 100% sure, but reddit seems to think it's a twospotted cobweb spider (Asagena americana). It's got the same spots, but it's abdomen is a lot larger than the pictures on google
If you can believe it, the rest of these are all jumping spiders! This incredibly cute little guy is an Asiatic wall jumping spider (Attulus fasciger).
I went back and forth on what this one might be. I landed on fleecy jumping spider (Pseudeuophrys lanigera).
This one is metal as hell. A white-jawed jumping spider (Hentzia mitrata) eating what appears to be a midge (Chironomidae family).
I landed on black-palped jumping spider (Pseudeuophrys erratica), but I'm not confident
This absolutely adorable little guy might be a Fencepost jumping spider (Marpissa muscosa), only because I did actually get a better shot of its body. But I thought I would post this one because WOW CUTE.
To me this looks like another fleecy jumping spider, but I'm unsure. the pattern is so cute though
And here we have the bold jumper brothers (Phidippus audax). I found them all in completely different locations and I have no idea if they're males, but bold jumper brothers sounds fun. This is the fluffy, dumb and lovable one.
This is the emo and sarcastic one
The brains of the operation
So there we have it! Everyone I found yesterday! I started the day out thinking I wouldn't find much, but I was pleasantly proven wrong!
