ok, so, i want to make a ah superhero au where shane and ryan are roommates and know each other but one is a villain and hte other is a superhero. but they never know (and i would elaborate more but yknow) and i wanted to see what powers would each of them have and who would be a villain and shit ( and if you have outfit ideas ) ???

Oh that is a classic and I am really interested in what you come up with, I think the outfits might depend on who is the villain and who’s the hero, but you could also mix it up. 

From a practical standpoint, I’m going to go with Shane in his black turtleneck (but made of more sturdy material) most of the time, but maybe because he’s never sure when he is needed (to do crime or justice) he’ll just end up wearing what he was wearing at the time, but maybe with his little cravat from the Streamy awards and those yellow glasses (for night vision but also flair, cause come on he is a dramatic boi sometimes). 

I know this is very impractical but I just really like seeing Ryan in suits? so I am making it so. Like maybe he’s got a friend who helps him make suits that are flexible but also niiice looking, and besides layers never hurt against cuts or bullets. 

Both of them try to hide their respective ‘super’ gear in their rooms, but eventually one of them slips up and something conspicuous ends up in the laundry basket, which raises some eyebrows but really? The superhero/villian is him? He’s too civiliany/he’s not that bad, but?

All of these are only for your reference anon, feel free to do whatever you want with the characters, I’m excited for it!

Omg I’m thinking abt the shyan spiderman au. Like wouldn’t it make sense if shane was spiderman since he did get those cobwebs and spiders on him

listen, anon, i see ur point, but i have a better idea...

like okay ryan is clearly a perfect spiderman. this idealistic, clumsy, nerdy naive college freshmen like, ryan would totally be wandering around some abandoned laboratory looking for evidence of aliens or some shit for his research project that he has to submit in FOUR YEARS, probably by himself, bc his asshole friend, shane, ducked out on him earlier because "its all bullshit, ryan" but whatever ryan's going ANYWAY because it's NOT bullshit and he's gonna prove it and so he manages to sneak into some ridiculous ass lab trying to get evidence that these motherfuckers are experimenting on aliens (they aren't) but they ARE doing some weird experiments on animals and oh, look SPIDERS, and he manages to get himself into some dumbass room a la andrew garfield and fuck well, he gets bitten, and probably almost caught, but its fine... because he ends up just going home like, okay, well, that was pointless.

wakes up the next day and ONE HUNDRED PERCENT has super powers. so this is at least something to lord over shane, so he meets up with shane the next day on campus and tells him and shanes just like l o fucking l sure dude. and ryans like well fuck you if you don't believe me then i'm sure as hell not showing you my REALLY COOL powers, and he goes off to like figure out what hes going to do, and hes experimenting around with all this shit mostly confused but he comes up with something of a suit thats pretty dingy and kinda sad but whatever and he decides i know what i'll do!!! i'll fight crime? because hes ryan and of course he would, so for a while he kinda just fumbles along not really knowing how to FIND crime bc even if he can web to buildings theres like A LOT OF CITY and hes just not quite sure so the best he can do is stop a drug deal that turns out to be some guy giving another one mcdonalds and disturb a guy enough that he decides not to steal a car, which like, baby steps

hes still not talking to shane but hes like well whatever i'm gonna spy on him even though hes a DICK maybe i'll freak him out and show him since like... i kinda miss him. but he gets hung up on trying to find the right moment so he ends up just following shane around and like, saving a dog or something in front of him and shanes like ??? and it ends up being weirdly antagonistically flirty bc lbr shanes like ok its kinda hot but also its??? super stupid?? and they probably end up doing that really attractive upside down kiss and ryans like well now i can definitely NEVER TELL HIM EVER. but hes gonna keep following him so he does and eventually shane is being like... mugged or some shit and ryan is like OH FUCK. so ofc he intervenes and its this whole thing where he almost gets shot but he manages to web the guy to the car and starts to be like okay this isnt how i wanted this to go so he tries to like swing away via web but it doesn't work out so he ends up falling on his face and shanes like "wow that was sad" and ryans like shut up shane and shanes like oH MY FUCKING GOD RYAN???? and ryans like damn it. 

so they go back home and shane is like 100% protective mode like dude you CANNOT do this. you are a clumsy iDIOT super powers or no, this is NOT cool and you should STOP immediately. but ryans like excUSE YOU I HAVE THE CHANCE TO DO GOOD AND IM GONNA and shanes like, oh my god,,,, i swear to god, dude, no,,, you're going to get hurt this suit is really fucking horrible but ryans gonna do it so shanes like fuck.

and then hes like wait we definitely kissed 

so hes like fuck. again.

and so he starts this whole thing using some trust fund that he probably has bc hes unofficially batman in this story and helps ryan engineer a suit that doesnt suck and tries to like help him as much as he can without Getting Involved because hes not about that life. and then eventually ryan ends up pissing off some super villian as spiderman tends to do when hes being too heroic and shane ends up in some stupid-ass looking suit to like save ryan from falling off a building or something. and they team up to kill this piece of shit and then ryans like you look like such an idiot and shanes like “you son of a bitch.”

and they make out, or something. 

yeah i have a lot of feelings about hte spiderman AU dude
