One more ask, I'm sorry, but I'm soooo interested in Spider Chase, talk about it some more please?

EEE !?!? (also don't apologize I love answering stuff.)

okokok so, i think i already said this, but i definitely think Leo's the first to find out. He corners Chase about his weird behavior and Chase just cracks.

Leo then becomes his man in the chair, helping him out. (think Ned from the MCU)

Chase's forcefields are generated from his specialized web shooters. He built them after getting his powers (he got the idea from some of Adam's favorite comics.)

the black part on his fingers actually controls an equivalent to his magnetism app. (eventually he cracks molecularkinesis teehee)

in this au, spike is actually Chase's twin brother, named Chandler. (originally he was going to be Brad, as in billion dollar freshman, but my friend Kaz was NOT having it.) And he's nicknamed Spike. And eventually gets the venom symbiote, latching onto his general... spikeness, as well as his jealousy towards Chase. (alternatively. Spike is Chase's version of a Jarvis/Lyla type.)

he builds his laser bo bc he likes star wars/alien gladiators

he took/takes martial arts classes (adam and bree both took dance lessons)

He ends up being a regular at Mighty Med. Mostly because he freaks out over the smallest inconvenience (but also... he thinks it's nice to have a friend outside of his family. (or a love interest... coughcough chaz/chasiver/skase) (bro hates alan.)

his version of J Jonah Jameson is ofc, our beloved Terry Cherry Perry. She runs a podcast slandering him. (guest stars include trent and kerry)

his canon event was Marcus. Even after Marcus betrays him as the Green Goblin, he still tries to save him, ultimately failing.

alternatively. Adam as The Lizard. ("I just wanted to keep my baby brother safe." "When I found out you had super-strength I got jealous and drank davenport's experimental serum")

EEE sorry i didn't mean to ramble. but if u have any particular questions/headcanons i will ageodbdkd love to hear them!!??

Gothic Mysteries: a reading list

The Confessions of Frannie Langton by Sara Collins

A servant and former slave is accused of murdering her employer and his wife in this astonishing historical thriller that moves from a Jamaican sugar plantation to the fetid streets of Georgian London--a remarkable literary debut with echoes of Alias Grace, The Underground Railroad, and The Paying Guests. All of London is abuzz with the scandalous case of Frannie Langton, accused of the brutal double murder of her employers, renowned scientist George Benham and his eccentric French wife, Marguerite. Crowds pack the courtroom, eagerly following every twist, while the newspapers print lurid theories about the killings and the mysterious woman being held in the Old Bailey. The testimonies against Frannie are damning. She is a seductress, a witch, a master manipulator, a whore. But Frannie claims she cannot recall what happened that fateful evening, even if remembering could save her life. She doesn’t know how she came to be covered in the victims’ blood. But she does have a tale to tell: a story of her childhood on a Jamaican plantation, her apprenticeship under a debauched scientist who stretched all bounds of ethics, and the events that brought her into the Benhams’ London home—and into a passionate and forbidden relationship. Though her testimony may seal her conviction, the truth will unmask the perpetrators of crimes far beyond murder and indict the whole of English society itself.

Stalking Jack the Ripper by Kerri Maniscalco, James Patterson

Presented by James Patterson's new children's imprint, this deliciously creepy horror novel has a storyline inspired by the Ripper murders and an unexpected, blood-chilling conclusion... Seventeen-year-old Audrey Rose Wadsworth was born a lord's daughter, with a life of wealth and privilege stretched out before her. But between the social teas and silk dress fittings, she leads a forbidden secret life. Against her stern father's wishes and society's expectations, Audrey often slips away to her uncle's laboratory to study the gruesome practice of forensic medicine. When her work on a string of savagely killed corpses drags Audrey into the investigation of a serial murderer, her search for answers brings her close to her own sheltered world.

The Truth of All Things by Kieran Shields

Two hundred years after the Salem witch trials, in the summer of 1892, a grisly new witch hunt is beginning.... When newly appointed Deputy Marshal Archie Lean is called in to investigate a prostitute's murder in Portland, Maine, he's surprised to find the body laid out like a pentagram and pinned to the earth with a pitchfork.  He's even more surprised to learn that this death by "sticking" is a traditional method of killing a witch.     Baffled by the ritualized murder scene, Lean secretly enlists the help of historian Helen Prescott and brilliant criminalist Perceval Grey.  Distrusted by officials because of his mixed Abenaki Indian ancestry, Grey is even more notorious for combining modern investigative techniques with an almost eerie perceptiveness.  Although skeptical of each other's methods, together the detectives pursue the killer's trail through postmortems and opium dens, into the spiritualist societies and lunatic asylums of gothic New England.     Before the killer closes in on his final victim, Lean and Grey must decipher the secret pattern to these murders--a pattern hidden within the dark history of the Salem witch trials.

A Hold on Me by Pat Esden

She never wanted to return. He wants nothing more than for her to leave. But the fire between them is as strong as the past that haunts them.

Annie Freemont grew up on the road, immersed in the romance of rare things, cultivating an eye for artifacts and a spirit for bargaining. It's a freewheeling life she loves and plans to continue--until her dad is diagnosed with dementia. His illness forces them to return to Moonhill, their ancestral home on the coast of Maine--and to the family they left behind fifteen years ago, after Annie's mother died in a suspicious accident.

Once at Moonhill, Annie is shocked when her aunt separates her from her father. The next time Annie sees him, he's a bizarre, violent shadow of his former self. Confused, she turns to an unlikely ally for support--Chase, the dangerously seductive young groundskeeper. With his dark good looks and powerful presence, Chase has an air of mystery that Annie is irresistibly drawn to. But she also senses that behind his penetrating eyes are secrets she can't even begin to imagine. Secrets that hold the key to the past, to Annie's own longings--and to all of their futures. Now, to unlock them, she'll have to face her greatest fears and embrace her legacy…

The Forbidden by F.R. Tallis

1873: When the ambitious Doctor Paul Clement takes a job on the island of Saint Sebastien, he has dreams of finding cures for tropical diseases. After witnessing the ritualistic murder of a young boy who was allegedly already dead, he is warned never to speak of what he has seen. Back in fin de siecle Paris, Paul's attentions turn to studying the nervous system and resuscitation through electricity. Paul is told of patients who have apparently died, been brought back to life, and, while they lay between life and death, witnessed what they believed to be Heaven itself. Using forbidden knowledge he swore never to use, he attempts to experience what everyone else has seen, but something goes horribly wrong. When Paul returns to the land of the living, can it be possible that he brings something else back with him, an unspeakable evil so powerful it can never be banished?

House of Secrets by V.C. Andrews

Ever since Fern could remember, she and her mother have lived as servants in Wyndemere House, the old Gothic mansion of the Davenport family. She may have been a servant, but Fern developed a sweet friendship with Dr. Davenport's son, Ryder, and she was even allowed free range of the estate. But Dr. Davenport has remarried and his new wife has very different ideas about a servant's place. Now Fern and her mother are subject to cruel punishments, harsh conditions, and aren't even allowed to use the front door. Yet, for all her wrath, the cruel woman cannot break the mysterious bond between Ryder and Fern. And when Ryder invites Fern to join his friends at prom, there's nothing Mrs. Davenport can do to stop them nor can she continue to guard the secret that haunts the women of Wyndemere—but there's nothing she won't try. After all, reputation is everything.

Season 2 is funded and supported by BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art, Chisenhale Gallery, DACS, Grazer Kunstverein, Matt's Gallery, Studio Oscar Murillo, Netwerk Aalst, Somerset House Studios and Wysing Arts Centre.

Episode 2 | 16 September | 9PM GMT REPLAY | 18 September | 9AM GMT Plastique Fantastique Communiqué: Beware Mars with Earth in Ascendance W/ Plastique Fantastique / Arianne Churchman & Benedict Drew / Christopher Kirubi / Gentle Stranger 

On 30 May 2020, at 3:52 pm EDT, Plastique Fantastique watched the Spacex Falcon 9 rocket carry NASA personal (for a fee) to the International Space Station and thought, as below, so above (next stop the moon, then Mars)… there is much today, down here, that needs our urgent attention… and there is much in the future, up there, to worry about too (including one million people living on Mars by 2050 as the first stage of planetary colonisation)… Earth views Mars as a planetary symbol for the cocksure warrior, and for violence, passion, assertion, and the weaponization of skill and sex… above all, Mars is the sign of competition (and Mars is a goal for commerce)… Mars is not this Mars though... That land is not that land… We know a different Mars (we have been there)… It is the hominids of Earth that have projected this image (of themselves) onto Mars… all other animals know this… Mars as ruling planet is not to be feared… it is Earth as ruling planet (Earth in Mars and the Mars in Earth) that we need to worry about… For episode two of the second series of Transmission2020, Plastique Fantastique offer moving images, stories and songs about planetary problems, below and above, with help from our friends Gentle Stranger, Christopher Kirubi and the collaboration of Arianne Churchman & Benedict Drew. The broadcast will feature clips from a film by Plastique Fantastique commissioned by Southwark Park Galleries. Plastique Fantastique is a collaboration between David Burrows, Simon O’Sullivan, Alex Marzeta and Vanessa Page and others, including Mark Jackson, Motsonian, Benedict Drew, Frankie Roberts, Harriet Skully, Ana Benlloch, Stuart Tait, Tom Clark, Simon Davenport, Joe Murray, Lawrence Leaman, Samudradaka and Aryapala. The collaboration is a performance fiction produced through comics, performances, text, music, film and assemblages, and investigates the relation of aesthetics and politics and sacred, popular and mass cultures. Recent exhibitions include Shonky: Aesthetics of Awkwardness, Hayward Touring Show 2017-18, and Mars Year Zero at Southwark Park Galleries 2019.

Episode 3 | 23 September | 9PM GMT REPLAY | 25 September | 9AM GMT Juliet Jacques: Spectres of Socialism W/ Bill Morrison / Colin Newman / Deimantas Narkevičius / The Duvet Brothers / Erica Scourti  / Igor & Gleb Aleinikov / Jasmina Cibic / John Smith / Kerry Tribe / Octavio Cortázar / Oleksiy Radynski  / R W Paul / Santiago Álvarez

Less than a year after the UK's traumatic General Election, after a pandemic that would surely have been far better handled if the principles of communality and solidarity had been at the heart of government, Juliet Jacques presents a selection of films that mostly look back at socialist politics and culture. Starting with comrade John Smith's film made in response to the Covid-19 crisis, and the government's chaotic communications, these films - by Jasmina Cibic, Octavia Cortázar, the Duvet Brothers, Deimantas Narkevičius, Oleksiy Radynski, Kerry Tribe and others - engage creatively with ideology and art in Yugoslavia, the USSR, Cuba, the UK and beyond.

Juliet Jacques (b. 1981) is a writer and filmmaker, based in London. She has published two books, most recently Trans: A Memoir (Verso, 2015). Her short fiction, journalism and essays have appeared in numerous publications including The Guardian, Granta, Frieze, Sight & Sound, Wire, New York Times, 3:AM, The New Inquiry, Arts of the Working Class, London Review of Books and elsewhere. Her short films have screened in galleries and festivals worldwide. She has taught art and creative writing at the Royal College of Art and other institutions, and hosts the political arts podcast Suite (212).

Episode 6 | 14 October | 9PM GMT REPLAY |  16 October | 9AM GMT Ignota Books: Deep Deep Dream

Deep Deep Dream is a journey through the techniques of awakening taking the hallucinogenic form of a palindrome. Unfolding through a series of experimental rituals, this encounter is an invitation to touch the dreamworld — a place where no matter how far you walk, you arrive back at your point of departure — and a meditation on these questions: What kind of world do you want to live in? What is a world? 

Ignota Books is an invitation to awaken, and at the same time, dream. Founded in the last days of 2017 in the Peruvian mountains by Sarah Shin and Ben Vickers, Ignota publishes at the intersection of technology, myth-making and magic. Deriving our name from Hildegard of Bingen’s mystical Lingua Ignota, we seek to develop a language that makes possible the reimagining and reenchantment of the world around us.

[theheadcanonzone]

Rather than joining the rest of the souls in the endless seas of the Astral Plane, Whenever one of the Seven Birds and Company passes away, they are taken to spend some time on the island with Magnus and Julia. The two welcome them each with open arms, with Magnus eagerly introducing each of his extended family members to Julia and quickly getting to work building extensions on the house because they just have to stay the night.

Lucretia is the first to join them, returning to her youthful appearance from when she first stepped on the Starblaster. Magnus sweeps her up in a hug and introduces her to Julia as his little sister. She and Julia quickly become close friends, and Lucretia spends many a night sharing stories and laughs.

A few years later, Davenport appears at the house’s front door, still a little soggy from drowning with his capsized ship. Manus is quick to usher “Dadnport Capnport” inside, while Lucretia goes to get some warm clothes for their old friend and captain.

Kerry and Killian are the next to pass on, dying just a few days between each other, with Kravitz coming to collect them both after. They were both greeted with warm hugs by Magnus, and Kerry is quick to hop into the house to meet the woman Magnus was always so in love with in life.

It’s a somber day when a grown-up Angus knocks on the door of the cottage. Magnus envelopes the young man, now as tall as he is, in a great bear hug, and turns him to Julia, introducing him as his son, Ango. That night, Angus has everyone’s attention as he tells them of the incredible adventures he’s had.

When Merle shows up, Julia laughs and asks “I thought you said Davenport was your ‘dad’?” Magnus just shrugs and wraps and arm around Merle’s shoulders, lifting the shorter man off the ground doing so. “What, you mean you can’t have two dads?” Merle certainly isn’t going to complain, just glad to be with family.

Taako is the last to pass on, arriving at the Burnsides estate with Lup, Barry, and Kravitz in tow. Magnus smiles and nearly crushed each in a bear hug, before introducing them in order—his little brother Taako, his little sister Lup, his big brother Barry, and his little brother’s boyfriend Kravitz.

That night, as the Seven Birds and Company all sit around, sharing laughs and stories and enjoying one another’s company, Magnus can’t help but stare and smile at it all.

For the first time in a long time, his family is all together.
