#they are my spidermen

[happyunbday2u]

This is for all the people who are saying "NOT MY SPIDERMAN!" to Tom Holland. He's just following the footsteps of his fellow Spider-Men!! But okay all jokes aside he is an actor people, an actor playing the role he needs to be and if the thing he needs to be is this then LET IT BE!

If he's not your Spider-Man then I guess nither is Andrew Garfield and Tobey Maguire

is this anything??? (you tell me bruh)

snippet from AU where lando and oscar are both spiderman

---------

“He keeps keying the same sequence, but changing the last two letters.” Oscar says.

“Woah. How’d you know that. You psychedelic or something.”

“Psychic. And no. I’m not. I can just see it, there.” Oscar points at an opposite wall, with a mirror panel where Crimson’s number sequence is reflected.

“Clearly you stayed in school in your world, showoff.”

“I'm just observant. Plus, I got bitten later than you.” Oscar says, still watching Crimson. Calculating in his head the number of swings it might get over there to incapacitate him, if Lando could maybe cause a distraction or something. 

“Hey, have you ever seen those Jamie Bond movies?” Lando says, leaning further forward on his perch with interest.

“Don’t you mean James Bond?”

“Ugh, no. Jamie. She goes on these missions, they’re really fun, and she always ends up in a situation with this homme fatale gambit thingy–” 

“Homme fatale?”

“Duh. And who the hell is James Bond?” Lando says, as if Oscar has just told him the sky is green, not blue. 

Above them, Crimson’s typing gets more frantic. The collider is bursting with colours now, threads and threads winding around the huge space, though they seem to sense that Oscar and Lando are not of their worlds, so the time-ribbons fly all around them, tendrils streaming steadily in the air. 

“You’ve got to explain this to me like I’m dumb.” Oscar says. “Because maybe I’m–”

Lando looks up, face bisected by a rainbow of different colours. 

“No time. Just watch.” Lando says, before shooting a web up, swinging towards the platform where Crimson is.

“Lando–” Oscar hisses. The name has barely left his mouth before Lando’s landed on the Collider’s platform.

Crimson turns, eyes of his suit ink black. The kind of horrible galactic jet black Oscar associates with scary water pools at the start of alien attack sequences, or pitch dark space that sucks up spaceships.

Oscar yanks his cloth mask back on before he crawls along the side of the wall, finding footholds and microscopic edges, trying to keep as inconspicuous as possible.

“Heya, Red.” Lando says. 

“Of course you are here.” Crimson says, masked face in profile. “And you brought a friend.”

Oscar sucks in a breath.

Well. So much for stealth mode.

Amren: When people get a little too chummy with me I like to call them by the wrong name to let them know I don’t care about them.

*walks into kitchen*

Feyre hands mug of Amrens “special food”

Amren: Thank you, Frigga. *dead ass stares Cassian down* Hello, Cassius. *nods* Ezra, *passes Mor on way out* Norm. *tips hat* Rice.

*winks at camera*

. . .

Rhysand: … Did she just call me Rice?

Feyre: Shh… babe we’ve all done that —Rhys: you what?— the better question is…

*simultaneously*

Mor: *laughing & crying🤣* she called me Norm?

Cassian: … where did she get the hat?

Azriel: WHO WAS SHE WINKING AT?!

another thing i've been trying to do recently is read more self-published stuff. "but fell," you say, "you're a self-published author. surely you've been reading self-published stuff all along" and then i laugh for so long in response we both become uncomfortable.

see, the fear (which has for a long time been killing my mind) that i'll read other self-published stuff and find out that it's so much better than mine that i might as well stop writing forever kept me from doing that basically ever. i have a hard time not unfavorably comparing my work to others and had convinced myself i was being smart by withholding an avenue of de-motivation (reader: i was not being smart). it also doesn't help that i'm pretty low income and have a hard time spending money on books i haven't already read, and that self-published stuff isn't always available at the library---but really a lot of it was just me being a coward. which i'm working on. i could talk about how this particular cowardice is Very Silly, but i think enough has been said about it on writeblr and in the Writing Space in general that i don't feel the need to (though i will if anyone wants me to).

instead, i wanna talk about the self-published things i have read in the past few months and ask about the self-published things you love!

so: what happened was i got real sick, and while i was real sick i (naturally) read over 200,000 words of ace attorney fan fiction in the span of a few days. eventually i got bored of it (and also maybe annoyed at how people were characterizing some of my guys), but i still wanted to read something gay and romantic and nice, something i knew was gonna end happily, which isn't my typical fare.

now you may be saying (having gotten over all the uncomfortable laughter from earlier) "fell, you write gay romance. what do you mean that's not your typical fare?" listen. until a couple months ago i hadn't read a cut and dry romance novel since before i finished college. for context: i graduated in 2015. i know it doesn't make sense. i'm a guy who doesn't make sense.

but in this case it worked to my advantage. not the not making sense thing, but the not having read Published Romance in 1000 years thing. I didn't know where to start. I was very skeptical of everything the library had Available Now in the Gay Fantasy Romance category. what if it was all bad and also not good?

and then i scrolled past the familiar cover of our very own @ashen-crest's A Rival Most Vial.

now this was comfortable territory! this was a novel by a very nice writeblr person whose posts i enjoy! i already loosely knew the plot, i was familiar with the characters, i knew the names of things like rosemond street and the griffin's claw and that ambrose had blue hair and that at the end of it all there would definitely be Boyfriends. i didn't have to worry that this would be bad! i only had to worry that it would be really good!

but i wasn't worried about that, because i was officially Not Writing at the time, and because why the hell hadn't i read this book yet Ash literally emailed me some very kind words last year when my cat died??

Y'all, I devoured ARMV. If you haven't read it yet---especially if cozy fantasy is more your thing than it is mine---you should check it out Immediately. It was fun! It was heartwarming! It was sweet and earnest and confident! I was delighted to find it was occasionally hot! Ambrose and Eli snuggled up into my sick exhausted heart and found a permanent little place there. (Especially Ambrose. I have such a thing for Stiff Guys who Kind of Suck for Tragic Backstory Reasons and are So So Lonely They Don't Even Realize It. gawd)

(And a very small part of my brain spent the whole time wondering why I had been so afraid to really engage with the work my community is doing. The community that I'm in. The one I'm a part of. Why?! Maybe more on that later.)

But from there the curse was broken! I immediately devoured @stjohnstarling's What Manner of Man in a similar sort of frenzy (and hooooly shit guys am I excited for the expanded, finalized version to come out at the end of next month!) and started digging into @lurinatftbn's The Flower that Bloomed Nowhere (which I can already tell is going to be an All Time Favorite).

And now I want to ask you what your favorite self-published books are so that I can read them, too, but I think I will in another post that doesn't dedicate so much space to talking about my various and sundry Issues and isn't Terminally Long

spider-man fandom (specifically the ff writers) (including spider in gotham writers!) yall know that mcu peter parker is far from your only option for a teenaged spider-man, right? like he’s definitely not the best option.

for reference, in terms of ages,

- Raimi’s Peter Parker (Maguire) is an adult

- TASM’s Peter Parker (Garfield) is also an adult

- MCU Peter Parker (Holland) is almost an adult (Highschool senior)

-Comic Peter Parker is almost always college-aged or older

Also, Peter is usually bit when he’s like 16.

But you know what Spider-Man is actually a highschooler? Who has is cooler than Peter Parker?

Miles Morales! guys he’s right there. he’s literally the main Spider-Man in comics and movies.

He was bitten at 13, has electricity powers (which he calls venom), and can camouflage with his surroundings. Not to mention that the MCU’s Ned Leeds has nothing to do with the comic Ned Leeds and is actually based off of Miles’s best friend and guy in the chair, Ganke Lee.

Please actually look into him beyond Spider-verse (Spiderverse is great but you can find a lot more content of him in his comics!) because he’s a really cool character.

actually going insane over my new detective lexi & her dynamic with bobby because it’s just. completely different from canon— instead of bobby holding some sort of power over the detective it’s completely the other way around. so basically lexi was a year older than bobby and bobby always had the biggest crush on her, also possibly definitely also her queer awakening <3 anyways bobby finally plucks up the courage to talk to her & she can definitely tell that bobby likes her & humors her anyways stuff happens they sleep together with it being bobby’s first time 🫣 & they hook up a few times but for lexi it’s just a bit of casual fun nothing more while bobby is lowkey in love…..

anyways lexi is originally an oc from another story (this girlie is my current hyper fixation she has so much lore but i will refrain from rambling abt all of it for now yes that is a threat) so she actually comes back to wayhaven about 10+ years later & bobby is so confused on one hand she’s ecstatic because no one in wayhaven has managed to capture her attention quite like lexi. but also she’s just ??? lexi represented someone who got out. someone who was always bigger than this stupid town they both are irrevocably & unfortunately tied to. why is she back? putting that aside lexi still takes every opportunity to flirt w bobby & doesn’t find her annoying at all in fact finds her to be one of the few tolerable people in this town she loathes sm. but then bobby sees lexi & ava and it’s all just so HSJSJS

My personal favourite flavour of Midoriya Hisashi is the very extremely loving father that works overseas and buys Izuku ludicrous amounts of hero merch for his birthday despite the fact Inko keeps telling him to stop because they Do Not have the room. I just think Izuku deserves some good dads.

If hisashi and all might ever met they wouldn't fight, they would mutually agree that izuku is their son. and they can both spoil the hell out of their boy. Because Izuku deserves the world. Like a friendly dad agreement. Izuku has two dads now. Todoroki might think they're dating.

as much as villainous parents can be fun, so can absolutely adoring-and-well-meaning parents. the villainous parents all have the same flavor after some time. it always usually ends up with an adoption fic. parents who care though, that can add SO much to a fic that I adore.

Hobie's favorite movie is The Warriors (1979) he and some of his other punk homies caught a 1 am smuggled viewing of it at some dilapidated and reclaimed theater and he's been hooked ever since.

He quotes it under his breath during fights as SpiderPunk. When he's chilling at home, lines from the script creep over his skin. He mimics the Cyrus speech to mock Miguel when he dog ass is ranting at a debrief.

He quotes a line from it in front of Jefferson one times while teasing Miles and is surprised when Jeff finishes the line. (Bro you are a teenaged old head)

He 1000% fanboy and makes a customized replica of one of the vests. He wears it when he's chilling out at his place.

The opening scene guitar riffs are his go-to for warms ups before a preformance

Gives Miles a big lift-u-off-the-ground hug when he gifts Hobie with a spray painted tapestry of some of his favorite scenes.

Owns the movie on DVD, USB, VHC TAPE, Theater Reels. Has MULTIPLE annotated copies of the book.

Also his fav character is Cochise. He most definitely saw Cochise be cool asf and supportive the whole movie and was like "Yep, this is gonna be my entire personality until someone ends my life" like Hobie acts EXACTLY like Cochise (save for the whole being distracted by hot chicks thing)

Gwen was forced to watch it on her 2nd night staying at his place and fell asleep to Hobie rambling film analysis and how punk ideologies apply to each character and plot point of the film.

He has a love-hate relationship about Ajax because while Ajak was fucking wrong, the guy was a fucking fighter to the end in a way that Hobie can't help but respect (also he had the best lines)

This film reminds the others arachteens that Hobie is very much not of their time but very much a geeky teenager

(Miles has a sit down Convo with him about it, there are words and phrases you cant stay in public in our modern day anymore. )
