20 questions for fic writers

Thank you for tagging me <3

How many works do you have on ao3?

69 lmaooo

what’s your total ao3 word count?

407,178 which is. A lot

What fandoms do you write for?

My current main fandoms are DC comics and marvel comics, but I've also been writing a lil btvs. Historically I've written a fuckton of Harry Potter, The Witcher (TV), a decent amount of leverage and daredevil (TV), the raven cycle, all for the game, and a few other fics in some random fandoms

What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

before we get married, I need to get permission from batman; hang on til the chaos is through; in which an entire university becomes far too involved in Pankratz and Vengerberg's love life; This is all just HR paperwork waiting to happen; and The Sound Of My Own Voice (Asking You To Stay)

Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

I respond to every single comment, with exactly one exception, that absolutely haunts me. The person just kept replying to me no matter what I said and I couldn't make them stop

What is a fic you wrote with the angstiest ending

Mornings, for sure. One of my first ever spideypool fics back from 2016. Peter dies at the end. know we're not together (but I won't forget you) is a close second though

What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

Oh I don't know, I have a lot of happy endings but they usually follow a fuckton of angst. Maybe in which the daily planet staff are 100% convinced that the kent-lanes are fucking superman, but I wouldn't call that a traditional ending

Do you get hate on fics?

Nah, although I've had some unnecessarily harsh public bookmarks

Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

Oh yeah. My first ever smut sucked but then I wrote so much in 2021 for the witcher that I actually got pretty good at it, or at least as mlm sex. I have some body dysmorphia issues around vaginas and I never feel like I write that well. Anyway I tend to go for excessively sweet or incredibly kinky and borderline unhealthy fics

Do you write crossovers?

Only the buffy/jason fic, unless you count daredevil tv and marvel comics or itsv and marvel comics to be crossovers

Have you ever had a fic stolen?

not as far as I know

Have you ever had a fic translated?

Yes!! It's incomplete unlike the original fic but someone translated most of I'm a mess (but I'm the mess that you wanted) into Russian. This wasn't the question but @flowerparrish also podficced the first chapter of my jaybuffy fic!!

Have you ever co-written a fic before?

Yes but I removed it from my page following an extremely brutal and somewhat traumatizing fight with some of the people I was cowriting it with

What’s your all-time favorite ship?

Mmmm I don't know, that's a good question. For a long time I would've answered jily. Spideypool is probably the main contender now, although spuffy could give it a run for its money - despite the fact that I've only written one fic for them (and implied them in my jaybuffy fic), I've adored them since I was 13, which is. Over 12 years ago fuck

What’s a wip you want to finish, but doubt you ever will?

Mmm I'm always hoping I'll finish my wips, but the ones I doubt the most are my yennskier fic (no progress in over a year), my literati fic (although I did make some progress about a month ago), and I don't plan on going back to my drarry Hogwarts professor au for obvious reasons

Edit: OH ALSO the Witcher s2 outsider pov is never ever getting finished I'm sorry I know I promised it to a lot of people in the comments but it's not gonna happen

What are your writing strengths?

Dialogue and characterizations imo

What are your writing weaknesses?

Descriptions my fucking God I struggle so much with them

Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?

I'm fluent in Hebrew and my first ever fic was in Hebrew, so if that came up I'd feel pretty comfortable with it. Anything else I'd have to approach someone who spoke the language, and I'd rather just write it in English and say it was in the other languages

First fandom you wrote for?

Harry Potter and again, it was in Hebrew. I recently described what it was about to a group of friends who called it, and I quote, "adorable". I was ten or eleven at the time and I do not plan on reposting it.

Favorite fic you’ve written?

That's a toughie. I think probably I'm a mess (but I'm the mess that you wanted), but Under the Pink Hood, Of Three Times Lily Evans Changed Her Mind About James Potter, and know we're not together (but I won't forget you) are all honorable mentions

I'm not a tagger - I usually don't even participate in these kinds of posts - but I guess @not-the-blue @supergirlboy @penny-anna and any other mutual or even follower are invited to participate if you wanna

[sword-and-stars]

So I was nervous to ask this bc I didn't know how you felt about age gaps but with your recent fics it looks like you're cool with that! So... would you ever consider writing spideypool? I think you'd be so good at the healing and the devotion and I haven't been able to stop thinking about it for like a month at this point

Let it be made clear to all and sundry that not only am I cool with age gap, I LOVE age gap asdghjkl

I’ve read a bit of spideypool here and there but I definitely don’t have the background I’d need to write it? I haven’t read any of the comics so all of my background is movie lore. Not that that’s ever stopped anyone, but I do generally prefer to have that background if only to get a handle on the characters, especially for a pairing that I haven’t accidentally gotten myself neck deep in. I haven’t read nearly enough fic for it either.

(That being said, if you have any recs, I’d love to have them!)

[lacrimosathedark]

Does Deadpool Collect Kids?

Here I am in Spideypool Hell, which results in me looking at the closest people to both of them. I sort of grew up with Spider-Man (video games, cartoons, and movies long before I ever touched a comic) so of course I’m looking at Deadpool first. Who doesn’t love new information? Treading old ground is boring!

(Also Spiderverse shit is confusing. So. Many. Spiders.)

And I came to the realization that Wade’s kind of...surrounded by kids.

Of course he has a kid (multiversely he has a few) but he’s close with more than just that kid.

So here is what I think of as Wade Wilson’s Pseudo-Family aka Kids Who Put Up With His Shit. Be prepared for way too many pictures.

Eleanor Camacho

This adorable baby is Ellie. She’s eight-ish years old (maybe nine or ten now? comic book time is weird) and currently Wade’s only canon child in main continuity. Her whole situation is a bit complicated, but Wade loves her more than anything in the world. And actually, she was a lowkey fan of Deadpool before she knew he was her dad. She loves her dad and she even goes behind her foster mom’s back to try to get him to visit, said foster mom being SHIELD Agent Emily Preston. Wade has forgotten she exists (again) to protect her (AGAIN) but she watches news reports about him and actually interfered with a killing mission he had in a theme park her class happened to have a field trip to.

She’s a baby Spideypool shipper too.

Ellie is Wade’s weak spot, and he only tells people about her if he trusts them. The ones that come to mind are people he likes, namely Shiklah, Spidey, and Rogue, as well as two kids further down on this list. Wolverine and Captain America know too, but because they were part of the mission where he found out about her. Super Soldier team-up.

Also, here’s her in the future. She’s a badass.

I love her so much.

Warda Wilson

(Full disclosure, I did minor editing on this panel because this is the one image of her full body without her mask and they gave her pupils that she has in no other panels and it bothered me so I fixed it)

Wade’s daughter in the 2099 future with his ex-wife, succubus and monster queen Shiklah, and she goes by Deadpool. She had a vendetta against Wade at first for supposedly betraying Shiklah and held him captive. But Ellie rescued him, they cleared things up, and they work together as a family, all three of them, plus brain-ghost Preston.

Deathpool

Exclusive to the video game Marvel Strike Force, but she’s so neat I had to include her. Literally born from “the power of love” between Deadpool and Death, she takes over her mom’s job but is a total daddy’s girl; he trained her to wield weapons and be a quippy little shit, and until he was snapped by Thanos because he’s got issues, she’d visit him on occasion.

(She doesn’t have a canon “normal” name, but I like the name Evita Wilson. It rearranges the letter of the word “vitae” which is Latin for “life” and y’know irony. Plus Evita is the name of both a musical and a Madonna album and you cannot tell me Wade wouldn’t love that)

Itsy Bitsy

Not a friendly, but biologically his daughter (and Spidey’s) from Evil Science Shenanigans. Formerly Susan Mary, a play on “Mary Sue”. She calls both of them “daddy” and even wears a Spiderpool emblem shirt. She’s pretty extreme. Bloodthirsty. Wade actually had to stop Spidey from killing her because Peter was so scared of her and someone was messing with his head. He cut Wade’s head off to try to keep him from interfering. It was kinda nuts. Wade ended up doing what he thought was killing her to keep Spidey’s hands clean. She’s not gone though...

Master Matrix

Another Spideypool kid, no shit. A good one too! And a rare boy on this list! A robot of some type discovered by Richard and Mary Parker, so already hitting home for Peter. After a short villainous confusion after waking from stasis, he was basically taken under Spider-Man’s and Deadpool’s wings and called them both “Father”. The arc is literally officially titled “My Two Dads”. They act like his parent and it’s just *chefs kiss* It’s a whole thing. MM gives off weird vibes, but all in all, he just wants to help. He’s a good boy!

He even gets them to hug!

He then proceeds to send them on a bonding road trip with just...so much Spideypool. That’s where the “Why are you holding my hand?” “It helps me focus.” comes from. And so much fourth-wall breaking and writer interference. Spidey even plays along with Wade’s fourth-wall-breaking shenanigans even though he doesn’t believe it. It’s the best.

Now we move to ones who aren’t his kids!

Gwendolyne Poole

Gwenpool and Deadpool weren’t chummy at first; she didn’t read his book and thought he was too “lol memes”. But they actually got to be pretty friendly. They’re buddies now.

He helped Gwen when she was having an existential crisis and is currently the caretaker of her pet Jeff the Land Shark who is the cutest thing and I love him. He even dresses as Gwen once to make Jeff happy it’s adorable.

I also think he rocks Gwen’s look. He looks great.

Ellie Phimister

Everyone knows about Negasonic Teenage Warhead from the movies where they have that affectionate deadpan snark between them. When they first met, Wade’s group had been contracted to kidnap her. She evaded everyone else, but when met with Deadpool who literally tried to talk her into being kidnapped, she had a vision where he said he wouldn’t leave her behind, and she literally just surrenders.

When Wade finds out what is happening to his targets, he goes in to save her. She has a particular loyalty to Wade and sticks by him pretty much no matter what, but she gradually settles into that deadpan sarcasm.

She takes his nonsense with a straight face and doesn’t tolerate his bullshit. Or at least snarks right back at him.

She’s also one of the few who for sure know about the other Ellie, Eleanor, and looks out for her.

Gabrielle Kinney

A little unexpected, but adorable! Gabby Kinney, also known as Scout or Honey Badger, which is amazing. She don’t give a FUCK. She’s a clone of Laura Kinney, aka X-23 and Wolverine, who is another clone daughter of Logan/James/OG Wolverine. She and Wade bonded over their scars and they’re besties now.

There aren’t a whole lot of instances of Wade and Gabby together, but every SINGLE one is absolute gold. They’re so fucking CUTE. Prepare for so many panels.

Have you seen anything more precious? Best friends.

Evan Sabahnur

Formerly Kid Apocalypse, also known as Genesis. Long story, but pretty much explained in the above page. Wade in particular was determined to save him, as killing him didn’t sit right for some reason, and he was certain that despite everything, Evan was a good kid. When shit went down and Evan didn’t think he could return to the Academy, Wade took him in. Like, brought him to the home he bought across the street from Eleanor and the Prestons.

Wade even says he’ll never have a son, (this is before MM, but it’s funny cuz biologically and multiversely, he does only have daughters) but if he did he’d like him to be like Evan, which is hilarious to me. But that kinda makes what Wade says super sweet.

He also saves Ellie.

Haruka Hida

From Deadpool Samurai, she goes by Sakura-Spider and is a blatant Peter Parker rip-off. Literally she lives with her Aunt Mei and her Uncle Tsutomu which the kanji can also be read as Ben. No shit. The only real difference is the spider bit her on her face and it scarred, hence the spots under her eye. BUT she’s Deadpool’s partner in Japan and she’s super cute. Typical manga protag girl but what can you expect?

(Legit buy them they’re super fun and it’s worth it especially if you like manga it’s so dumb and I love it please buy it)

Neiro Aratabi

Another Deadpool: Samurai character. As said above, she’s an idol in Japan. She’s bonded to an amnesiac symbiote she calls Kage (in case you aren’t up on Japanese, it’s pronounce like “kah-gay” and it means shadow). They like chocolate. She doesn’t get a lot of screen time, but she’s happy being part of the team. She’s content as long as people think she’s cute, for, of course, over-dramatic very anime reasons.

That is ELEVEN CHILDREN. And I’m a newb, this might not even be all of the kids he’s close to!

For comparison, Bruce Wayne has SIX kids (Dick, Jason, Cass, Tim, Duke, and Damian). He has a few other pseudo-kids, Barbara Gordon, Stephanie Brown, and maybe Helena Bertinelli and Maps Mizoguchi, but like...dude.

I need everyone to know that Deadpool is good with kids.

SteveTony Weekly - August 28th

Happy Sunday!! Here’s what I read this week. Be sure to leave your author a comment or kudos if you enjoy a story! 

***Marks my recent favorites 

~*~ 

***break the chain (can't live in circles again) by orphan_account 

There had been seven amazing weeks of dating Steve Rogers before Tony realised that they weren’t dating at all. And then it was a scramble to adjust to the situation as it had always been: being Steve’s friend-with-benefits.

And if Steve seemed a little confused and bewildered by the way Tony was acting, well. Tony was probably just misreading that, too.

Hiraeth by sabrecmc

"Do you believe the universe fights for souls to be together?" Tony asked, trying to keep his voice steady and tell himself the answer wasn't everything.

it should follow, you know this (like the panels of a comic strip) by gyzym

Four, eleven, fifteen, twenty-one, thirty-six, forty, as old as he's always been, too young, and everyone knows Tony Stark.

Cause Baby I'm a Fool by SuperstringSymphony

“Oh yes, you have uncovered my terrible plan; spoiling you rotten and keeping you all to myself.” The sound of Tony's bright laughter rings through the room. It's such a good sound, one he wished happened more often. Tony kisses his neck, toying with the tiny white buttons of Steve's pajama shirt. Just the clever brush of his fingers there, popping a few open and then slipping in against his skin makes him shiver. “Mmm, what do you think? Would you like to stay in bed all day, because I have something you might be quite interested in trying.” Tony's hand is so warm against his chest, sending thrilling trails of sensation down his spine-that it takes him a moment to register what has been said.

Something he would like to try? For a moment he thinks Tony might mean more food, but then he takes in the lean of Tony's body against his, the dip of Tony's long dark lashes, and he realizes Tony means something completely different.

Or, Steve tops for the first time with Tony, and has a grand time of it. OR Tony Stark's Manuel on How To Make Your Supersoldier Deliriously Happy in A Few Simple Steps.

Trash Talking by vulcan_slash_robot

Tony has some harsh words for himself. Steve is having none of it.

***My Heart Would Benefit From a Little Tenderness From Time to Time by SuperstringSymphony

“Come with me.” Tony licks his lips, blue eyes lifting to meet Steve's. “We've both had a long week, I thought you might like to relax.” Tony's gaze darts from side to side. Steve has noticed since they started this that Tony only ever truly looks nervous when he's talking to him. “The car is around the front, what do you say, weekend getaway?” Tony smiles, stroking a hand down his back with a featherlight touch. Steve just barely represses a shiver, eyeing Tony for a moment. With other people he's always a little shuttered. Here though, with Steve, his expression is unguarded, eyes bright with hope. He looks a little strained though, as if the week has taken its toll on him as well.

Before you jump, Tell me what you find (When you read my mind) by Fluffypanda

Mind reading is more of a curse than a blessing.

posing up a storm by picturecat

“I have an idea. Can we just pretend the day ended with that really badass Superfriends pose we did?”

Tentacular Spectacular by Sineala

When Amora the Enchantress lays a peculiar curse on Tony, its effects are not at all obvious... until Tony gets home and sees what's happened to Steve. And as for breaking the curse -- well, that happens to be Tony's number one fantasy. (Or: Tony never turns down a good tentacle. Or several.)

***Slowly Into Focus by Sineala

Steve and Tony continue to joke about safewords. And then they're not joking anymore.

Shouldn't have got on the bus by orphan_account

It's a field trip au. With a bit of Spideypool and a bit of Superfamily.

  “Peter here is my favourite intern,” He explained proudly to the group. “The kid has done more for Stark Industries than any of our full-time employees.”

Flash raised his hand. “Our tour guide earlier said Peter wasn’t an intern, and Stark Industries don’t take high-school age interns.” He said, only sounding slightly snarky in the face of the world-famous billionaire.

Peter has to deal with embarrassing parents, a high school bully, and his disaster of an extended family.

He deserves to get paid for this.

Vanilla Human Problems by manic_intent

Written for the prompt: "AU where Tony isn't Iron Man. He's a consultant for the avengers, so they still live in his tower, he still builds/improves their gear, but he never invented Iron Man. He's still close to the team, and is still a genius, so as the non-superhero member, he gets kidnapped. A lot. The team becomes increasingly protective of Tony."

Delusions of Grandeur by Wix 

Steve and the others have finally returned to the Compound after the Avengers Civil War, but Steve's having a hard time catching up with Tony and he's not really ready for the answer as to why.

Bulletproof by foxxcub

At age fifteen, Steve Rogers had been in love with Tony Stark.

By age twenty, he’d (mostly) gotten over it. And then he promptly became Tony Stark's fuck buddy.

***Trust Fall by AlchemyAlice

He watched Cap—Rogers—take in the gleaming armour on the floor, the outfit Tony had on, and the utilitarian but still fairly sophisticated interior of the medical bay. Watched as consternation gave way to creeping dread. “How long?” he asked, after a long moment. He sounded hoarse and far off. “Have we won?”

The door slammed open and both of them jumped. Tony put a hand tentatively on Cap’s wrist. Cap looked at him, watchful, but more trusting than Tony deserved. He tried to keep his voice steady.

“We won,” he said. “We won seventy years ago. My name’s Tony Stark. I’m Howard’s son.”

Bullshit Magical Sex Whammy by coaster

When life gives you bullshit lemons in the form of a witch randomly bespelling you into really wanting to have sex with the person you're in a relationship with, who was also bespelled into really wanting to have sex with you, the best course of action is to lock yourself away in your workshop to conduct experiments on the effects of the bullshit 'spell' so you won't end up sleeping with the person you're already in a relationship with because you have issues keeping you from being happy.

~

It was the worst 24-hours of Tony's life. He just wanted to have sex with Steve. He's never had sex with Steve. He shouldn't have sex with Steve. He really wanted to have sex with Steve.

Build with love, your life by captainstars 

“Oh!” Peter gasped. The kid’s reactions reminded Tony of the emojis Rhodey liked to send him a slew of. “Are you going to make me, like, your protege or something, Mr. Stark?????”

Weaknesses by HannaHazzard

Bound up tightly, Steve could do nothing but watch. Tony had no chance against the Hydra soldiers. Red Skull enjoys every bit

Nowhere Else He'd Rather Be by tinystark616

The penthouse is empty except for them, and when Steve pulls back it's to speak against Tony's mouth, breathing hotly against his lips.

"JARVIS?" Steve calls, a little breathless. "Don't let anybody come up here, please."

"Of course, Captain Rogers," JARVIS replies without hesitation.

Tony chuckles, but it turns into a moan as Steve's hand finally reaches his groin, touching Tony's already half-hard cock through his pants. Steve's fingertips rub against the head and Tony gasps, leaning in to press his face against Steve's neck with a sigh.

"Damn, if I knew you'd be like this, I would've come home earlier," Tony says, his words muffled against Steve's skin. 

Or,

Tony gets home after a stressful day at work and Steve helps him relax.

A world lacking of colour by endlesstwanted

Steve has to start listening to his heart instead of his mind.

Tourniquet by romanoff

Stranded in a cabin, no contact and no way out. Cue gratuitous hurt/comfort. Written for the prompt 'Permanent Physical Injury and Recovery'.

Like Gene Kelly in the Movies by lyra_wing

Everything Tony Stark does is a dance. And it's super confusing for Steve.

***Senseless by Scavenge4Dreams

Blinded, deafened, exhausted, injured and afraid, Tony raised himself up into a defensive position, the knife coming up just like Nat had taught him.

“That had better fucking be you, Steve Rogers- it had better be you. Fucking disarm me. If you let me kill you, I swear I will be very, very pissed.” Tony snarled, sure it was Steve approaching. Had to be. Had. To. Be.

What if it wasn’t?

Irreplaceable by orphan_account

There are obvious downsides to being the only member of the Avengers who is not a super soldier, a god, or a super assassin, and does not Hulk out when aggravated.

The most obvious one is that when villains want bait, they've got a go-to guy.

Tony already knew Mondays sucked. He did not need his opinion reinforced this way.

***More Than Skin Deep by Sineala

Tony can just about accept the fact that he and Steve were kidnapped and replaced by Skrulls for three months. But what he can't figure out is why none of the Avengers noticed. And what he really can't figure out is why none of their teammates will tell them what the Skrulls did while they were gone.

[shit-mcu-stans-write]

This is something I've been thinking about for awhile, but I feel like while Stan Lee has always been on a pedestal since he branded himself as a Walt Disney-esque figure, I remember it was easier to find more nuanced attitudes that acknowledged his flaws and how he screwed over artists like Jack Kirby before the MCU; but MCU stans act like he's a godly religious figure above criticism, and like he single-handedly created every Marvel character ever, nevermind his co-artists or actual creators.

i ended up doing a read more link because this got longer than i expected. i would also like to apologize to you, anon, for the huge delay in answering this ask

tl;dr: stan lee certainly did a lot of incredible things, but we do have to acknowledge that he was a human. not to say that all humans make awful, awful mistakes, but that one should always be hesitant to put a human on a pedestal. attacking people for pointing out his wrongs and misdoings doesn't change the fact that he had committed wrongs and misdoings

stan lee constantly downplayed the contribution of his co-creators, most notably larry lieber (his brother), steve ditko, and, as you mentioned, jack kirby

larry lieber is in part responsible for the creation of ant-man, iron man, and thor. he illustrated most of the amazing spider-man (by that i mean the daily comic strip)

steve ditko co-created spider-man and doctor strange. ditko said in an interview that lee only created the name (spider-man) and ditko created the costume, the web shooters, and the spider signal. he also developed him into the angsty young man that has consistently been one of peter's main characteristics

jack kirby is arguably the one stan lee wronged the most in terms of comic book creations. nowadays, many people (mcu fans) believe lee to be at least partially responsible for the creation of captain america, when in reality it was kirby and joe simon. that isn't necessarily lee's fault, but he never did anything to dissuade that particular opinion. it can be argued that the fantastic four, the hulk, and black panther were created almost solely by kirby, even though most people (mcu fans) believe lee to be the main creator

marvel comics wouldn't be where it is without stan lee, but it also wouldn't be where it is without larry lieber, steve ditko, jack kirby, and countless other creators and artists

stan lee also liked to label himself as a caring and accepting man, but, well, he is partly responsible for this:

will reblog with image id

i'd like to end this with a quote from the Are They Gay? - Deadpool and Spider-Man (Spideypool) video:

[image id: a black and white photo of stan lee with the text "he existed" 1922-2018]

along with an image id for the first photo in a reblog, i will include my sources

[prisonhannibal]

Do you have any cablepool fanfic recommendations bc I suffer daily trying to find good ones (especially comic based, but movie is fine too)

I think you might be a long distance telepath because I got an ask like this a while ago and didn’t answer it bc I needed time to think. and then I couldn’t find it in my inbox so I decided to just write a regular post, and while I was writing that post I got this ask!

ok these are in no particular order and I’m not using the actual plot summaries the authors used on ao3, just making stuff up or using quotes from the fic

one-shots

Landing on both broken hearted knees by rayguntomyhead (1.6k words, rated M)

Post Deadpool 2. Wade and Nate share a hotel room. I know what you’re thinking, it’s not that kind of fic. Nothing is going on with them yet.

Tropes by quakey (2.2k words, rated T)

Wade’s been reading TVtropes, and if Nate is fucking with him right now, Wade is gonna gut him like a fish and throw his bloody corpse in the sea for the sharks.

These days are great and so are you by bankrobbery (3k words, rated T)

Movie based. Wade gets kinkshamed by Weasel and hawaiian-shirt-shamed by Cable. They’re at the bar, basically

Motormouth by pavonine (13k words, rated T)

Wade can’t shut the fuck up, and this time it’s not even his fault! Wade’s been cursed to never be able to stop talking, which is really fucking inconvenient if you’ve got stuff you’re trying to not say.

also the norwegian prime minister is in it very briefly, and it was posted in 2013, when jens stoltenberg was the PM so I’m just gonna assume it’s him and bring your attention to this picture of him which I think is hilarious

Pressure points by denims (2k words, rated M)

Cable keeps casually touching him, which probably doesn’t mean anything (don’t listen to domino, she doesn’t know what she’s talking about), but it makes Wade feel weird. So, so weird.

Multi-chapter

Wade will f*** shit up for you by Quakey @withoutaconscienceorafilter (48k words, rated E, so minors stay away from this one, it’s the only thing on the list with actually NSFW scenes.)

The craigslist ad said “My name’s Wade and I fuck shit up professionally. So your ex getting married? I’ll crash that shit. Your job fire before their company picnick? I’ll show up with tequila and throw hands. Got some one one you hate an just wanna fuck their day up? I’m all over that shit. Serving all situations where we customize your service to your liking email me for pricing. Services guaranteed with video.” Maybe this is a horrible idea, and maybe he shouldn’t have, but Nate did answer it, so things are definitely about to get weird

I’m biased on this one because it was based on a post I made but it seriously is really good it’s super funny (almost choked to death trying not to laugh on the bus at one point) and in character and some of the scenes are so so so cute. Not sold yet? Hope is in it. AND Ellie. Hell yeah! This one is movie based, and I really like that it’s a regular non powered AU, but Nate’s arm+eye and Wade’s scars are still included. Like Nate has a prosthetic arm and Wade actually looks like Wade.

Fistful of shovels by surefall (28.6k words, rated T)

Now, you might be thinking, ms. Mutantapologist, this is tagged spideypool?? It is, but just trust me okay

Wade’s best friend, bromanciest of bros to ever bro, Nathan Summers is back in his life, and he’s really starting to get under Peter’s skin. They’re just too close, and Nathan is there all the damn time. List of things Wade’s weird time traveling BFF would look good in: 1. his own damn home. Nate and Peter get passive aggressive and competitive, Nate’s manipulative tendencies make an appearance, Peter is kind of a dick, and Wade’s honestly just happy to have his BFF back.

this is one of my favorite portrayals of their relationship dynamic tbh. just...their unbreakable bond...the way they keep coming back to each other through time and dimensions...that shit makes me cryyyy. and how well they know each other..the trust...the casual intimacy....how comfortable they’re with each other...also the dialogue in this is perfect, love their banter. This one is “screenshotting quotes and sending them to your friends” level funny. they also play mario kart and I think that’s nice.

Read Omake: Fistful of shovels for the Deleted Scenes Edition that has stuff that didn’t make it into the final fic or alternate versions of scenes. includes: Nate sending a shirtless selfie with ulterior motives, Nate being sort of a home wrecker (but at least he’s more honest about it!), aunt May, Nate being accused of being a bottom, etc.

Strangers by totallynotremus @totallynotremus (31k, rated T)

Nate plays games. Not weird manipulative mind games this time. Actual games. Online. With Wade and his friends. Wade feels targeted because come on, you behave mildly flirtatiously with the guy your friend group is gaming with online a lot acouple of times and suddenly your so called “friends” won’t stop harassing you about it. unbelievable. this one is also super funny

Motion Practice Universe: Cablepool Edition

I couldn’t put these in either category because they need to be in order and there’s one-shots AND a multi chapter fic so i’d have to separate them and that wouldn’t work. These are part of the (as of august 2020) 1,405,078 words long Motion Practice Universe, but you don’t need to read the rest of it to know what’s going on, I didn’t and it works 100% fine as a stand-alone storyline

Wade Wilson explains it all (or at least, how Clint’s keeping his job. Mostly keeping his job. It’s complicated.) by the_wordbutler (3.3k words, rated T)

Wade is trying to put together a fruit basket for Clint, because he’s a thoughtful friend (who does not get enough credit, hello?), unlike some other people. Example: his coworkers, who won’t let him focus on his super special important project (fruit basket!). And Nate, who’s eating an orange (from the fruit basket!😡) which has no business being that distracting.

it’s sort of an introduction to the next thing in the list, and I highly recommend reading it first. Definitely does a great job at showing what you’re gonna get from the full fic. Also, it’s cute and funny.

Admissions, Interrogatories, and other discoveries by the_wordbutler (150k words, rated M)

No, that wasn’t a typo, it really is 150k words. And I read it. Twice.

Basically, Wade is a criminal defense attorney, good job, you get to defend goat fuckers and other weirdos. Fun times. Nate’s a coworker, works in immigration and civil rights law, they do projects together. Just a bro he jokes around with, who sometimes brings Wade lunch, and whose arms Wade really likes to stare at, but that doesn’t mean anything, right?

this one is REAL slowburn (never in my LIFE have i experienced slow burn like this one holy FUCK), great relationship development and I just love their dynamic and banter in this one. Perfect dialogue and it’s really fucking funny, made me laugh out loud at several points! AND!! Hope is in it<3

What I learned on my summer vacation, an essay by Hope Summers by the_wordbutler (4.5k words, rated T)

Sequel to Admissions, interrogatories and other m discoveries. Wade, Nate, and ten year old Hope go to Disney World, and the beach. A lot of love and family<3 Wade took 3 sign language classes to talk to Hope (who’s deaf)

I’m sure I’m forgetting a lot of great ones but here’s what I could think of rn!!

[captainshazamerica]

Yeah I don't like brutalia either primarily because talia is out of his league no pun intended (and ahem she's my wife piss off bruce lol) i love that the impact of thier story is Damian!!!hahaaa

I dont ship babs with anyone really I wouldn't mind DinahBabs but I'm not fussed I just don't like her with bruce or any of his kids, they squished her into a relationship with dick and then in animated movie she was with bruce 😨 and I'm not sure if her and jason ever actually got together but he left her a note confessing his love which she never read so? Also Jay kid going after his big bros ex 😅

I dont really like WonderBat for no reason other than it feels so freakin weird to look at like my brain refuses to process it

I'd die for supes/lois harlivy and alfred/tea 😊 I like that you sent spideypool to superhell hahaa

Dickkory is supreme imo they should get married and let live in peace with thier chaotic super kids

Platonic stucky & SuperBat the brotp feels!!!! Just choosing someone and being like that idiot right there is my brother my family and I'd die for them is just ahhhh you're right platonic ships are the best ❤ohh whose your fav ships/otps ? I mean Lee and Ed yeah? I love ed he's such a poor disaster honestly bless him

💖🌼💖🌼💖

LMAO at Talia being out of his league, the pun fits way too much tho 🤣👏🏻"piss off bruce" lmfaoo, get it!😂 I just dont like that some versions have dub con with her and Bruce, puts a yucky taste in my mouth and kinda tainted the whole ship for me tbh. I like versions of her where she isnt like evil lol. Honestly I dont really ship Bruce with anyone, I like the Ace!Bruce headcanon tbh! But lmao yeah that's exactly where I was going going the impact of the ship being damian ahahaha

Yeah I feel like I just dont know Babs well enough (well in canon, I feel like I know Fanon her way more xD she never seems to be in the stuff I watch and read too much) to go full out shipping her with someone, I dont oppose to DickBabs tho and love a good childhood friend to lovers trope, I just havent seen them in canon much. And yeah never actually heard of DinahBabs, again I'm not opposed to it but I honestly dont know Dinah well enough to ship her with anyone other than canon tbh. Wait which animated movie with babs with bruce?! I for some reason dont remember that?! I know she was Jim's wife in Gotham by Gaslight (hate that but like the movie, especially the street rat Robin's all together omg). But like I can actually see her and Jason a bit, I need to look into that more. Omg he did? Which comics???he is so dramatic tho, he freaking would leave a damn love letter 🤣that's so jason tho to go after his brother's ex too😂👏🏻

Omg SAME ABOUT WONDERBAT, omg, like that's my EXACT feelings towards it! For some weird reason it makes me brain go Huh? But I cant pinpoint why! I mean, she also is too good for him/out of his league lmao

So confession, I've never liked Supes that much at all and only recently started to come around after diving so deep into the Bat and titans world xD So I dont have a huge connection/seen Supes/Lois in much but I do think they are very cute, I just need to watch and read more of them! And Harlivy is iconic man. And are you even a batfan if you dont love Alfred and tea?! Gosh I would die for alfred tbh, he is too freaking pure for this world. That bats would be NOWHERE without alfred man

Lmao about me sending spideypool to superhell 🤣 like listen,there arent too many pop ships I would send there but they are one of them man xD On top of the fact I think of Peter as a high schooler and Wade way older, not to mention wade would corrupt that poor child, the whole ship just gives off Cursed vibes to me man🤣🤣🤣

Bro I need to read more of Dickkory cause while I dont like oppose, i just feel pretty neutral! What makes them supreme to you? Win me over Batanon!! Like I wanna go hard for it but again I guess I just havent read enough of them?(tho again, I LOVE the IG Teen Titans version of the ship!)

Dude YES to platonic stucky and sueprbats!!!! I rarely see them get platonic love in the fandoms!(tho platonic superbats gets more than platonic stucky it seems). But YES! Amen to what you said! I also am an only child so I kinda love any found family sibling vibes, especially bros.

Lmao you know me so well, def Nygmakins (Lee x Ed) is like my otp(he truly is a mess and needs her to stay in line man, Oswald is too much of a mess as well xD ) and I love how she is helping him fight his inner demons type trope and they are both like morally grey at that point in time and the chemistry and ah!

But also, Bbrae (Beast Boy x Raven (in all forms), DamiRae(Damian x Raven(especially in Justice Leauge Dark Apokalypse war), YJ Artemis x Wally (cant think of the ship name at the moment ), and most recently Jaytemis(Jason x Artemis, dif Artemis, this one is an Amazonian Bi queeeen )

[ironstrange-is-the-endgame]

So now that the Marvel Comics have made Quil Bi. I'm still holding out hope that Peter will get same treatment, I know that there was a article about Sony making Peter Bi. But it was fake, and Sony are assholes. So I won't hold my breath. Tom Holland seems open to idea at least. But then again so did Andrew Garfield, and Sony fired him for it. 😞

I didn’t know about Garfield’s thing thing but, once again, I never watched Garfield’s SM and the only movie in which I sort of liked his acting was The Social Network soooo...

Anyway, apparently it’s not marvel comics but the actual MCU because they said Chris Pratt’s Star-Lord is bi so, yeah, they could do the same for Pete too! (I mean the theory going around was Spideypool with Garfield’s Pete but I doubt Ryan Reynolds will have his MCU contract ready for SM3)

I’m just really, more than off screen declaration I’d like to see the characters coming out on the screen and I don’t know if Disney will ever get that far (remember Endgame?!)

[redyarns]

considering

hello my darling readers! i come to you with a dilemna i hope i can solve with your help. now, recently, i’ve gotten very much into mcu and marvel in general due to me watching homecoming and far from home recently and falling headfirst into the rabbit hole. 

please read below only if you want to deal with my issues regarding spideypool. this is NOT an anti post, but it is about my conflicts within myself and also about my best course of action as a content creator who wants best for their readers. 

of course, when that happens, i head immediately for ao3 and tumblr. at first, i didn’t research anything specific, because i was content with the many fics circling peter and his super family and basically just good feels. but i’m also (admittedly probably unhealthily) a person who thrives off of romance, so i was keeping an eye out for any couple i would be interested in reading about while scrolling through tags. 

then i saw spideypool, and my first thought was, “oh fuck.” because wasn’t that a bit not good? was peter not 15? wasn’t deadpool like, definitely over 20, closer to 30? so i was worried and scared because in my head i was like i can’t be involved in a fandom if a ship like this is one of the biggest ones. 

so i researched and looked into this conflict, because i was praying that maybe this wasn’t quite the case, and stumbled into a very big issue. now i’m a novice when it comes to marvel - i had denied myself of the fandom for years by now, mostly because i knew that such a big fandom meant many fics for me to read and write and it’d take me ages to get out of it, which my current fics didn’t deserve to suffer through. as such, i had no idea what to expect. 

it also meant i wasn’t aware of the fact that peter parker was regarded as two main ages: baby-faced and broke photographer at the daily bugle. the baby-faced age was obviously all about tom holland and the mcu, while the adult peter regarded pretty much all the other spider-man movies and the comics. 

now i became conflicted - because apparently, in the comics, deadpool and spider-man were somewhat friends, if not partners in dubious heroic acts, and even hinted at having a little something something. but this was revolted incredibly by fans of the mcu when tom holland had been casted as spider-man a few years after the deadpool movies where ryan reynolds was cast as our merc with a mouth. this, of course, was a big NO NO. a 15 year old peter with a 20-30 something deadpool? goodbye. 

but then was it okay if it wasn’t? what if it wasn’t holland? was it okay? by this point i was very worried, filled with guilt, and also near tears. in my head i already knew that they admittedly looked cute together, their personalities could be so similar at times, but fuck this was killing me and i lowkey wanted to just stop and forget about it. so i reached out to a friend and asked and she said this: that it was definitely not okay in the mcu, but in the comics, she didn’t think anything was wrong with it. 

so i’m tentatively extending a hand to this weird couple, because i personally think it’s cute, but i also know how many people are upset about it. i don’t ever want to upset my readers over something, and i still feel conflicted about it. i know that as long as holland isn’t used as a creator’s spider-man then it’s okay, but people still put up a fight. it just all feels so tangled and intricate nad i don’t want to do something stupid. 

so my friend, bless her soul, said i should ask you all directly. so please, please, please help me. i don’t know what i should think right now. i think spideypool is cute, and i feel so awful about it that i genuinely lost sleep over it last night, tossing and turning because i felt like i was scum. i want to write for it, i want to read about it, but i can’t if it means i upset people and i upset myself. 

so i need your opinions - is it okay? should i write about this couple? am i okay for liking it so much? 

i, of course, only support this ship under the right circumstances: it will never EVER be depicted between mcu peter and deadpool, because i don’t want to deal with both that external and internal conflict. it’s A Bit Not Good, but when i look at it from the perspective of a peter from the comics who’s 20-30 and tired and very much adult, i settle into a sort of awed adorance and then i feel guilty again. it’s a fucked up cycle and i get anxiety just thinking about it. 

i fucking hate making posts like this, i don’t like touching upon discourse, but this is too important for me to ignore. i’m sorry if you’re upset at seeing this, because i’m upset at writing this. 

please help and let me know what you think, because above all, this is definitely part of you too. what i post, reblog, write, and create all goes back to you, and i don’t ever want to hurt someone over something like this. 

thank you for listening to this long ass post, and please leave your comments or thoughts in my inbox. 

[evilwickedme]

As someone who also doesn't like Cable and has seen too many pride posts about him, I have to ask: what do you think of the way Cable treats Wade? because I've seen so many variations of it and I'm not interested enough to read Cable/Deadpool comics like I did to Spider-man/Deadpool. Is Cable a self-centered asshole? Does he use Deadpool and discards him when he sees fit? Is he reluctantly fond of him? Lay it all on me, dude.

Btw, I agree with all you said about Spideypool and that's precisely why I have no interest in other Deadpool ships.

Wow so this ask has been waiting since June 20.... I'm so sorry for the lateness but the thing I was going to reread some of Cable and Deadpool 2004 so I would have more concrete material to complain about but I only read one volume before I got so fuckin sick of it bc I genuinely cannot stand Cable oh my God

So here's why I don't like Cable and specifically why I don't like cablepool from my vague recollections of reading some c&d like eight years ago plus the one volume I reread last summer for this ask

Cable is meant to be a serious character to outbalance Deadpool's wackiness, but they overshoot and end up with callous disrespect

Spider-Man's dislike of Deadpool at first comes from a fundamental disagreement with Wade's chosen profession - killing for money - and in one of my favorite scenes says that while Wade wants to be a hero, he confuses doing the right thing for being adored. Cable's equivalent reaction is just sort of because he's a dick? And in the comic they're literally forced to spend time together bc of comic book bs, and it's just. I don't feel like Cable ever treats Wade like a person.

I also just in general... Don't find Cable or his plots interesting. He's involved in all these X Men shenanigans, got all this time travel shit going on, and he just plain does not work for me as a character.

I honestly don't mind that other people ship cablepool, even though I think it's toxic, because I ship spideypool specifically in a toxic way. But I like both Peter and Wade, it's not hard for me to enjoy reading or writing a fic about them. But cablepool just isn't for me at the end of the day. I don't enjoy the stories their comics choose to tell and I find that Cable is generally dismissive for no real reason towards Wade which gets on my nerves.

[wellhalesbells]

I see you reblogging some comic stuff an I was wondering if you have a favorite comic or favorite character or ship?

this ask is from so long ago but [DEEP BREATH IN] i’m finally going to answer it, nonny.  finally.  i kept wanting to read a little bit farther in my comics stack because.... maybe i’ll like that and will regret not having recced it, i just hafta--get--to it, see?  and, honestly, i’m still there BUT, come on, i’ll never be caught up because that would mean comics would just have to stop coming out and i would be sad forever if that happened, SO

i’m not even going to pretend like i can narrow this down to one comic.  (one ship?  sure, that’s spideypool.  one character?  sure, that’s the merc with a mouth, the regenerating degenerate, wade motherfucking wilson.  but one comic?!)  there is just straight-up too much out there to make a definitive ‘yes, this is it, this is THE ONE ™ ’ statement.  instead, uh, let’s break this shit down, yeah?  (super special secret bonus round, will note all lgbt+ rep and standalone comics.)  in no particular order, here the frig it goes!

HORROR

infidel, by pornsak pichetshote and aaron campbell.  in case you haven’t seen this on every 2018 best list ever, here it is.  and, yeah, it was good.  a muslim-american main character living in a haunted apartment building where the entities feed off the xenophobia of its occupants.  if that’s not a fucking modern horror story i don’t know what is.

spread, by justin jordan and kyle strahm.  THIS IS ONE OF MY NEW AND ALREADY ALL-TIME FAVORITES.  what an awesomely weird and epic story.  the spread is an uncontrollable, unstoppable monster-making force that humanity accidentally unleashed by digging too deep.  it infects everything it touches and basically all of humanity is running from quarantine to quarantine just hoping for the best.  and speaking of hope.... she’s a baby, rescued by no, and the only thing that’s ever been able to stop the spread.  also, no’s gay?  and i just DID NOT see that coming.  it seems like it’s going to be such a formulaic, bro-y story about the action hero who kisses the face off his girl (her name’s molly and she’s batshit insane and amazing) and instead, nope, it is not that at all.  lgbt+ main characters.

the black monday murders, by jonathan hickman and tomm coker.  hate capitalism?  think all the rich and powerful are evil, soul-sucking monsters?  [obnoxious, low-budget commercial sound effects] MAN, HAVE I GOT THE SERIES FOR YOU.

the beauty, by jeremy haun and jason a. hurley.  i just started this recently but so far, oh my good golly gosh, i looove it.  a sexually transmitted disease that makes you conventionally gorgeous.... at least before it explodies you.  [wide, creepy smile]  the art is gorgeous, the characters are aces and i am very, very pleased so far.  lgbt+ minor characters.

the great divide, by ben fisher and adam markiewicz.  this?  was a COOL idea.  the execution stumbled a bit but, gosh, was it neat.  it’s post-apocalyptic where touching another person will literally kill.... one of you.  the survivor then absorbs the memories of the person who dies, taking on a ‘rider.’  some people collect them, some people go mad, some form a bond, all have the side effect of dyslexia.  like i said, neat as all get out.  lgbt+ minor-ish/main-ish character.  standalone.

revival, by tim seely and mike norton.  a rural town in wisconsin experiences ‘miracle day,’ where the dead rise again.... except, they were kinda already mourned and buried and this is really just fucking up the status quo.

the woods, by james tynion iv and michael dialynas.  a high school gets picked up and plopped down in an entirely new, and wickedly hostile universe.  it’s all survival and alliances and seeing what you’re really made of when it comes down to it.  lgbt+ main characters. 

clean room, by gail simone and jon davis-hunt.  a cult, a journalist and a clean room walk into a bar...

anya’s ghost, by vera brosgol.  you think it’ll be a cute story of a girl and her ghost.  HA HA THAT IS NOT WHAT HAPPENS AT ALL, OKAY.

FANTASY

rumble, by john arcudi and james harren.  SCARECROW WARRIOR GOD, SCARECROW WARRIOR GOD, SCARECROW WARRIOR GOD!!!  okay, first off, the art in this?  pushes every friggin’ button i’ve got, and many i did not know i had.  second, this book is so fucking fun.  it’s mythology that’s balls to the wall ridiculous, funny, and features a main character whose life motto is basically: ‘do i have to?’  infinitely relatable and then some.

heathen, by natasha alterici and rachel deering.  UGH, ONE OF MY FAVORITES.  the art is just horribly, horrendously gorgeous and it’s LESBIAN VIKING MYTHOLOGY, OKAY.  OKAYYYY???   lgbt+ main characters.

the wicked + the divine, by kieron gillen and jamie mckelvie.  one of my favorite ever series right here.  it’s a hella cool concept (gods reincarnating as humans every twelve years, and burning up their hosts in two), whip-smart and if you’ve ever met a human being who likes a pun more than kieron gillen i defy you to produce them.  lgbt+ main and minor characters.

batgirl, by gail simone and adrian sayaf and vicente cifuentes.  you know how people rave about gail simone?  there’s a reason people rave about gail simone.  honestly, i’ve never had much interest in babs.  i don’t tend to go for superheroes who don’t kill and i have even less interest in ‘the killing joke’ story line and i am convinced only gail simone could’ve done the recovery on that and she did a GLORIOUS job of it.

red hood and the outlaws, by scott lobdell and dexter soy.  (ignoring recent - and annoying - developments), this is my favorite of all the rebirths dc did.  scott lobdell is the only writer to have gotten the idea down of: okay, we’re starting over, i assume you don’t know anything but i also assume there are a bajillion people reading who know everything, and hit the perfect medium between those two things.  so if you want to start a jason todd run, you legitimately can here, and get all the found family, badassery, batman-teasing enjoyment there is to be had.

iceman, by sina grace and robert gill (covers by kevin wada).  classic super-heroing here and bobby’s first solo title.  he’s figuring out coming out while fighting (and flirting) with baddies.  sina really gets his humor and how truly wonder-awful it is!  lgbt+ main character.

spider-man/deadpool, by joe kelly and ed mcguinness.  watch those names there, those are your guys right there, period.  they looked at the void of a spider-man/deadpool series and filled it with absolutely everything you could possibly want for the pair (sans a hardcore make-out sesh, though they did get a few variant covers with some puckered up lips in there!)

limbo, by dan watters and caspar wijngaard.  a fusion of 80s aesthetics, voodoo elements and a noir tone.  just some remarkably cool shit in this.  the ending, for me, left something to be desired but it was more than worth it to see worship via mixtapes.  standalone.

hawkeye: kate bishop, by kelly thompson and leonardo romero.  kate bishop is, apparently???, a super impossible character for a lot of writers.  kelly thompson is not one of them.  kelly thompson is my favorite kate bishop writer, actually, and the fact that she is ever not writing her is a gd travesty.

the unbeatable squirrel girl, by ryan north and erica henderson.  honestly, i’m so tempted to just stick this under ‘contemporary,’ because it really does just feel very... normal.  doreen’s navigating college, new friendships, and y’know... the squirrely-ness.  this had every opportunity to suck and instead it’s funny as heck, never takes itself too seriously, and is just pure good-hearted entertainment through and through.

wolf, by ales kot and matt taylor.  a paranormal detective and the-possible-antichrist go on a road trip.  people hated this comic and i don’t know how you can hate a comic that has a character called freddy chtonic who has tentacles for a mouth??? 

ms. marvel, by g. willow wilson and adrian alphona.  hi, you read ms. marvel because the world is a garbage fire and people are terrible and your cynicism is at an all time high and then kamala khan waltzes in and reminds you people generally want to help each other and the world improves when we work together and that thing optimists feel?  you’ll feel that for as long as you’ve got the pages open and that’s a magical thing.  lgbt+ minor character.

monstress, by marjorie m. liu and sana takeda.  psychic links with monsters, matriarchal societies, magic and witchery, half-human/half-animal (and other ratios) characters, all through a steampunk lens.  what’s not to like about that??

inhuman, by charles soule.  i love this series, i love the idea of being a total average joe/joanne, getting smacked in the face by a cloud of mist and suddenly having to figure out how to live basically a whole new life.  also, if you don’t fall madly in love with dante pertuz, i don’t even know what to tell you, my dude.

heart in a box, by kelly thompson and meredith mcclaren.  break-ups suck, but only because of that whole pesky broken heart thing, right?  so emma gives hers away.  problem solved, no?  standalone.

i kill giants, by joe kelly and j.m. ken niimura.  i didn’t cry my eyes out or anything.  did not.  standalone.

sex criminals, by matt fraction and chip zdarsky.  having sex = stopping time, which leads suzie and jon to the only logical conclusion: let’s rob some banks!

hawkeye, by matt fraction and david aja.  honestly there are a lot of other artist combos in this run but the only ones that are worthwhile are the ones that have fraction and aja’s names on them - sorry not sorry.

SCIENCE FICTION

black bolt, by saladin ahmed and christian ward.  saladin revived this character one hundred million percent.  there is absolutely a reason this was parading around all over ‘best’ lists when it was released.  it really, really did the damn thing.

saga, by brian k. vaughan and fiona staples.  this is the comic you recommend to people who don’t even like comics because it is that good.  like, my dad - who hadn’t read a comic since he was a pre-teen, eagerly awaits each new trade.  the world-building, the characters, the care put into every single solitary bit of all the things?  unparalleled.  lgbt+ minor characters.

frostbite, by joshua williamson and jason shawn alexander.  a post-apocalyptic story that has humanity dying from a plague that literally freezes you from the inside out.  very neat, very cold, very readable.  standalone.

descender, by jeff lemire and dustin nguyen.  this had a rough start, for me, with the main character of the first trade being tim-21, an android who is literally incapable of having the depth to be a lead BUT that does not last through to the next trade, thank god.  lots of space and found family and world-building in this to be had!  but you know how people rave about jeff lemire?  there’s a reason people rave about jeff lemire.

paper girls, by brian k. vaughan and cliff chiang.  the 80s and time travel and lifelong friendships.  it’s brian k. vaughan, you know it’s good, okay?  why do i even have to sell you here, man?  lgbt+ main characters.

injection, by warren ellis and declan shalvey.  this is another one on my list that started out a little rough but really appealed to me later on.  there was just a lot to absorb in that first trade but, once you’ve got it, the ride gets way, way smoother.   lgbt+ main and minor characters.

black science, by rick remender and matteo scalera.  this was a rocky start, because the main character is such an asshole but in a way where he can’t see he’s an asshole, he’s just a tortured genius who’s superior to all of you, don’t you know? but i am so glad i persevered because if that’s the set up?  the rest of the series is knocking him back down.  super scientist grant mckay finds a way to access the eververse, every possible reality the universe has on offer, and that’s really what causes every single problem that follows.  hard to cause the apocalypse and be an arrogant prick, ya know?

CONTEMPORARY

giant days, by john allison and lissa treiman.  this series is so funny and smart and warm.  these girls are so kind to each other and relatable and failing at adulting regularly and often and i love reading about them.  lgbt+ main character.

lumberjanes, by noelle stevenson and grace ellis and brooke a. allen.  this is funny and ridiculous and kind and cool and all other awesome adjectives and you should read it, fact.  lgbt+ main characters.

my brother’s husband, by gengoroh tagame and anne ishii (translator).  this is such a sweet story about acceptance and family tbh.   lgbt+ main character.

fence, by c. s. pacat and johanna the mad.  i mean... i need to see nicholas and seiji hook-up, i need that, stat.  stat means now!   lgbt+ main characters.

WEB/INDEPENDENT COMICS

long exposure, by kam heyward.  so mitch and jonas are my absolute faves and i love them to death and the author is so kind in that they actually put this up in print on indyplanet so i can read it the way i, personally, love to read comics (and - bonus! - support them with the monies).  lgbt+ main characters.

modern dread, by pat shand and ryan fassett (editors).  i’ve been trying to find more better horror comics lately so i’ve been kind of half-heartedly stumbling through kickstarter on the hunt and this was SUCH a great find.  it’s an anthology but more cleverly done than any other kickstarter anthology i’ve read, with a main story line that seamlessly strings together the would-be-disjointed ones.  this was really thoughtfully put together and really well done!  standalone.

heartstopper, by alice oseman.  a very sweet story about two high school-aged boys becoming fast friends, playing rugby and falling in love.  the two characters are mentioned as an aside in the author’s book, solitaire, and she became so invested in them that she wrote their backstory as a free webcomic.   lgbt+ main characters.

the pale, by jay fabares.  JUST started this (like, just a day or so ago) but i’m enjoying it so far!

hotblood!, by toril orlesky.  i mean... is it a webcomic about a centaur falling in love with his boss?  it just might be.  did i get a bound edition through a kickstarter campaign?  maybe.  maybe i did that.  who’s to say?   lgbt+ main characters.

the bay, by bbz.  life on mars through the lens of three young professionals who form an odd but lasting friendship.  lgbt+ main characters.

hard drive, by artroan.  is it a nsfw comic about a dude and a robot?  .... it might be a nsfw comic about a dude and a robot.  [coughs]   lgbt+ main characters.

seen nothing yet, by tess stone.  a nsfw comic about two amateur ghost hunters.  can’t imagine why i might be interested in that [coughs]   lgbt+ main characters.

captain imani and the cosmic chase, by lin darrow and alex assan.  i mean did i want a starship captain who can’t help but lust after the smuggler he’s chasing.  i mean, maybe i did.  maybe.   lgbt+ main characters.

taproot, by keezy young.  ghost falls in love with boy, boy falls in love with ghost, AND THEY LIVE HAPPILY EVER AFTER.  lgbt+ main characters.

always raining here, by bell and hazel.  just two boys falling in lurve.  lgbt+ main characters.

Spideypool Fic Recs

Hey y'all! I'm back!

Facebook fucked up again and demanded I change my name, and while I was a bit iffy about it, I eventually did it. Considering everyone already knows my irl name and all. Putting that aside, I bring you Spideypool fiction today! While I tried getting into the fandom last year, I read a lot of fics but most of them were smuts and well, I like a little bit of plot to grab my attention. Or at least angst! Lots of angst. I know this is a measly amount, but I'll bring you more when I get back into the fandom! Thanks and have fun! ♥️

➡️Not at All (sequel) : A year has passed, and Peter and Wade are at a stand-still.

•  5 times Wade didn't believe Peter, and the one time he did ⭐⭐⭐⭐: Wade isn't a fool. And he knows better, whatever Spidey says.Or five times Wade didn't believe Peter, and the one time he did.

Ughhhh, these 5 times are always so well done and my creepy angsty heart loves all the tears and pain.

•  Blindsided ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐: Sometimes Peter is surprised by the things that Wade thinks about.

“Seriously. Being inside you like this, it’s just, like we really trust each other because have you ever really thought about what having sex is like? You’re letting me put part of myself inside of your body? And we never think that’s a big deal, but that’s a pretty big deal because sometimes when you put things in people’s bodies, they die. Like knives.”

Oh angst, so much angst. But also so much love.

•  buddy you're a boy make a big noise ⭐⭐⭐⭐: Wade’s hanging by one leg from the fire escape outside Peter’s seventh floor apartment, katanas sheathed on his back and a gun on each thigh -but he’s frozen like a deer in the headlights, as if Peter poses some sort of threat, standing like an idiot at the open window in sweatpants and no shirt, only a flashlight and a thin smattering of chest hair to defend himself.

➡️ waving your banner all over the place (sequel) ⭐⭐⭐: Always like he’s getting all his softness out with Peter so he can go out and crush everything else, because two days ago he made Peter blueberry pancakes in the nude, sang Taylor Swift all morning, and Peter knows that his Wade and everyone else’s are two very different people, but the idea of Wade ever hurting him is just -

•  Cherub : “Where did you find him, Wade?” Weasel asked, as he put the beer on the bar.

“He killed me,” Wade said like it was the best thing that ever happened to him.

Really adorable!

•  Clock Strikes Twice : Peter didn't believe in soulmates.He certainly didn't believe that a masked mercenary was his, least of all when Wade's timer had stopped and Peter's still ticked. Still, some of the greatest things in life defied explanation.

 Do Not Disturb ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐: Peter protects the things he considers most precious.

Super adorable!!!

•  finger tap pulses ⭐⭐⭐: "The first time Peter’s timer stops he is eleven years old. It times out in the middle of the night and wakes him up like an electric shock. The blank timer stares at him from his wrist as he yells and screams for his aunt and uncle."

Soulmate AU and one of my favorites at that!

•  Questions and Answers ⭐⭐⭐: Peter Parker makes the mistake of taking a picture of Deadpool.

This one is a cute thing with flirty Wade and Peter being all shy and cute and them getting together. Okay, it's fucking cute.

•  Summer & Other Heated Things : It happens on a regular summer day that's too hot and sticky, but Peter is pretty happy with it. Peter loses his virginity to Wade.

This is the cute smut fic!

•  Tale As Old As Time, Song As Old As Rhyme ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐: Peter Parker gradually falls for Wade's dubious charms. They have a lot of hang ups and kinks to negotiate, but with sex this hot, Peter can't help wanting more.

Alright. So I saved the best one for the last. I love every inch of this fic. It's perfect characterisation, a load of angst and some sweet relief later on. A complete gem of a fic. Please give a read.

 Alrighty, that's it for now! More to come eventually I guess!  Stay tuned!♥️

Do tell me if any of the links don't open or are faulty, etc.

How would Wade react if s/o wanted an open relationship with Peter and Mj? How would they react to the situation as well? They're like adults in this version.

Uhhh well I’ve never considered a poly-amorous with any of those characters, and the only time I’ve shipped Spideypool was really either from snippets coming from the Comics or from the screenshots of the cartoons where Peter and Wade are both adults…And I’m not sure which Peter and MJ you’re referring to, so I’m going with the recent ones  And I’m dumb I realised you just said that they are adults- anywayHere’s my hot take under the cut: 

I think when s/o reveals that they are wanting to see both Peter and MJ and have a more open relationship where they can freely see the other two, at first Wade is… stunned. He would never have thought that his s/o was open to the idea, he had never fully believed that they had wanted to be with him of all people to begin with, and now they were revealing this new concept to their relationship.Once his mind is done trying to puzzle together the information they’ve given him, he tells his s/o that he wouldn’t mind, it’ll add a bit of flavour to the relationship, but once he sees his s/o interacting with either Peter or MJ or both physically? Oh boy the red suited hero better get his green lantern kit back on, he couldn’t be more jealous of seeing how happy they’re both making you and not him.But a month or two after a lot of convincing that they still cared about him deeply and that he also makes them very happy and that won’t ever change, he allows himself to relax and even begins interacting with Peter and MJ more often. And once he feels comfortable with himself, oh boy, the man can’t get enough of the three of them and he takes it upon himself to lead some of the more interesting activities that the group can participate in.Peter and MJ: They are already in a long term established relationship and had a long discussion together about their feelings towards Wade’s s/o, at first they had both been very friendly and the interactions and encounters had not been at all intentional towards attracting them as a lover. They had both become good friends with Wade’s s/o but after gaining more knowledge about them as a person and their past and their quirks they both realised that they were not just in love with each other but with Wade’s s/o, and decided it was best that they confront their feelings and ask if they would be a part of their relationship. It was a private conversation, and while they were stunned by Peter and MJ’s revelations they had said that they were going to talk to Wade first before jumping into it straight away, as he had feelings and needed to be considered too in all of it, it was agreed that they would only see each other with Wade’s consent.It was Wade’s s/o who offered invitation to Wade, of course with him being their lover they would, and Peter and MJ were hesitant about it because of the quirkiness that he possessed and that he would attract unwanted attention to the matter with his desire to announce things publicly the way that he would with any other things. But to their surprise they found a softer, kinder and ridiculously loving side that they had not expected, and they then encouraged him to join in the more physical activities and allowed him to be the leader in it all.And the four of them couldn’t be happier in their polyamorous relationship, it was secure, it was stable, it was comfortable, it was loving, and it was a strong bond built on trust and communication.

Spideypool RP

~~~ Fandom: Deadpool movies, Spiderman movies, DC comics Pairing: Spideypool (Spiderman/Deadpool) Character(s) you want to play: Peter Parker Character(s) you want your partner to play: Wade Wilson Setting: AU. TW: drug use. Wade is Deadpool, but the mutation didn’t affect his looks, Peter is a stripper in a club, established, they live together, Peter knows about Wade. Peter got addicted to drugs and is now in rehab after getting overdosed, Wade is crazy worried about him because he doesn’t want to lose another person he loves.

Prompt:

After the nightmare that was called ‘rehab’ it was finally the day Peter was supposed to go home. Finally the hell, or at least the beginning of it was over and he could sleep in his own bed again. Wade was supposed to come for him, but Peter couldn’t deny he secretly hoped Wade wouldn’t show up. That he would finally decide Peter wasn’t good enough and wasn’t worth Wade’s time or hope. He was fucked up in plenty of ways, being an addict was just an addition to the collection. But despite everything that happened - the lasting addiction, all the fights, the overdose, the rehab - Wade gave no reason for Peter to doubt him, not a single time, ever. He called and texted Peter every day, even on especially shitty days, even when Peter didn’t feel like talking at all, he came every weekend when visitors were allowed despite Peter telling him not to do it. It was hard to imagine a more supportive boyfriend than Wade and Peter never had anyone like that in his life before. Anyone who’d be so kind and understanding, who’d love Peter enough to be willing to go through this hell with him. He didn’t know how he would be able to go through all this without Wade, but the outcome surely wouldn’t be even relatively good.  Peter walked in the hallway, seeing Wade waiting for him there, and sighed in relief. He approached Wade and, after a short pause, finally wrapped his arms around him, breathing him in. “I almost thought you found another lost soul to rescue and wouldn’t come.” He said with a laugh, trying to hide his fears and real feelings behind a mask of a joke. RP Style: Paragraphs, approximately as long as the starter.  Platform: Email. Tropes: Angst is great, hurt/comfort, maybe a tiny bit of fluff (but only a bit!) Language: English.

About me Gender:  Sexuality: bisexual. Age: 22. How to contact me: email: carpediemrps@gmail.com

Other: please don’t make it too vanilla and Wade too sappy. I’m open to any discussions at any point if you’d like it!

I was tagged by @casassin​ to show my 10 OTPs (? xD) Like, this is going to be Hard because I have like 100000000000. So yeah xD I make a random order because choosing which one will already be too hard xD

1. UsUk (America x United Kingdom) - Hetalia

It began with those two Dorks. They were my first OTP knowing for myself that it’s an OTP :D  Even thou I dinstanced myself from Hetalia a bit I still enjoy to look at Fanarts and read doujinshis of them <3 I just love them :3

2. Spideypool (Spiderman x Deadpool) - Marvel

I love them and They are so cuuuuute :3  And to be clear: I’m not talking about the Spiderman of homecoming since he’s too young and Deadpool would never try it out with an underaged! 

3. Klace (Keith x Lance) - Voltron Legendary Defender

Yeah. i LOVE those two! They made such great Progress during the show and their Relationship is just so warm and lovely. This is how two rivals turn into friends and into lovers. Even thou they’re not Canon they always give the vibes that it possibily happen and that both have a thing for each other. Welp, at least before Season 7 happened an the writers ruined everything :D But they will still be my lovely dorks and always be one of my OTPs :3

4. Altair x Malik

I can’t say much to them except that I love all the fanart and the characters. I love that ‘love-hate-relationship’ they have and the way their relationship evolved in the game. And I will always love the thought of Altair being a dork and Malik being so done with his boyfriends shit xD

5. Ezio x Leonardo DaVinci

I know that Leonardo is Canon with Salai, but I still ship those two hard! They are so sweet and Leonardo is just so cuuute xD

6. Qiu Tong x Sun Jing - Tamen De Gushi

I still can’t beliebe that those two are finally Canon. We waited so long for this and then it finally happened and dear god those two are the cutest shit I have EVER seen in my Life. Their relationship is so cute and they are sooooo good for eachother <3 They really are the perfect Yuri OTP :3

7. Mika x Yuu - Owari no Seraph 

I still can’t believe that those two AREN’t Canon! Like, I’m sorry but they’re acting like Lovers and not Like Brothers! (and no, They are not brothers by blood. They say that they are family because they lived at the tame orphanage!) I’m waiting for the day that those two realise that they feel more than just family-like friendship for each other. 

8. Akira x Ryo - Devilman Crybaby

I love the show and I love those dorks. It’s kinda canon that Ryo has feeling for Akira and I screamed a lot when I watched the show. Those two somehow are really special and Yeah. Love them :3 I know that Akira has romantic Feelings for Miki, but I think that he also feels something for Ryo and that he is, just like I think Miki is, Poly. 

9. Miki x Miko - Devilman Crybaby

I know that there is a lot discussion because of them because in some languages Miko and Miko said ‘I love you’ to each other and in others they said ‘I like you’ to each other. In german they said ‘I love you’ so for me it’s canon that they had romantic feelings for each other. I know that it’s clear that Miki also had those feelings for Akira so my theory is that she’s poly and able to love Akira AND Miko in the same way. But I personally only Ship her with Miko.
