❛❛ can you just ❜❜ he waves a hand, slightly aimless in its gesturing. if he adds a bit of the ol' puppy dog eyes, well, that'll be @untodeath's fault for falling for it again. ❛❛ dial up the heat a bit ? these hot dogs are taking forever to roast. ❜❜
a city of unrest claws at the edges of his dreams & pulls him into the waking world. he'd like to say his night-time routine is not so dramatic, but it would be a disservice to call it anything but wearisome. sleep comes in small, regretful snatches, fleeing at the slightest shift. more often than not he escapes the hollow graveyard of his apartment, with its empty walls & 𝚎𝚝𝚌𝚑𝚒𝚗𝚐𝚜 𝚘𝚏 𝚜𝚌𝚛𝚎𝚊𝚖𝚜 𝚑𝚎'𝚜 𝚕𝚎𝚝 𝚎𝚜𝚌𝚊𝚙𝚎 𝚏𝚛𝚘𝚖 𝚑𝚒𝚜 𝚝𝚑𝚛𝚘𝚊𝚝, to take to the never-ending world of crime & new york.
he will say, just as a matter of pride, that it's due to this lack of sleep & the terrible taste of trauma-that-will-not-be-addressed that he doesn't realize there's another heartbeat. spider-man moves as a ghost does, haunting the corriders with silent steps, clinging to walls & skittering into shadows. he knows there's something going on here. has known for a few days. it was just time he needed . . . time & an understanding of what exactly the villain of the week felt like storing in a place like this. 𝚑𝚘𝚙𝚎𝚏𝚞𝚕𝚕𝚢 𝚗𝚘𝚝 𝚊𝚗𝚘𝚝𝚑𝚎𝚛 𝚞𝚗𝚒𝚟𝚎𝚛𝚜𝚎-𝚛𝚒𝚙𝚙𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚖𝚊𝚌𝚑𝚒𝚗𝚎. ( seriously, who has enough time on their hands to make that ? don't these people have day jobs ? )
what's a bit of breaking & entering ? aside from the fact that it seems someone else had a similar idea. his spider-sense doesn't even budge before he opens a door just to come face to face with a person. useless sixth sense. ❛❛ well, this is awkward. you wouldn't happen to just be out for a stroll, would you ? ❜❜ / @umare
THE SHADOWS SOFTEN EDGES, warp the curves of his body; turn him to shapes in the dark, the kind you want to pretend are mere figments of an overactive imagination. a dash of patience, a measured quiet, there are times he embodies the creature more than the man. ( HE IS . . . ) 𝚊 𝚗𝚒𝚐𝚑𝚝𝚖𝚊𝚛𝚎 𝚝𝚑𝚊𝚝 𝚜𝚑𝚊𝚝𝚝𝚎𝚛𝚜 𝚘𝚗𝚌𝚎 𝚑𝚎 𝚘𝚙𝚎𝚗𝚜 𝚑𝚒𝚜 𝚖𝚘𝚞𝚝𝚑.
❛❛ cute ears, @crimenight . you know, there's a guy i pal around with who's got somethin' like that. 'cept it's his hair. not like, his hair is a helmet, it's that his hair makes ears. cute little cat-ear shapes. which is funny because he also has claws & has tried to stab me, like most cats. ❜❜ a sniff, followed by an awkward clearing of the throat. 𝚑𝚎'𝚜 𝚍𝚎𝚏𝚒𝚗𝚒𝚝𝚎𝚕𝚢 𝚗𝚘𝚝 𝚋𝚞𝚝𝚝-𝚑𝚞𝚛𝚝 𝚘𝚟𝚎𝚛 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚏𝚊𝚌𝚝 𝚝𝚑𝚊𝚝 𝚊𝚗𝚒𝚖𝚊𝚕𝚜 𝚌𝚊𝚗'𝚝 𝚜𝚝𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝚑𝚒𝚖. ❛❛ okay, i know they're supposed to be bat ears on your head. which, by the way, is your cowl-thing shaped like that for fun, or do you actually have cat, uh, bat ears under there ? are we talking design or function ? ❜❜
❛❛ you're flying ! & you're green . . . ❜❜ oh no, don't do it. be cool for once in your life ! ❛❛ this isn't some alien thing where you take me away for probing, is it ? ❜❜ please, if only he could stop while he's ahead. ❛❛ i require explicit consent before probing, just FYI. 𝚋𝚞𝚝 𝚒𝚝'𝚜 𝚗𝚘𝚝 𝚘𝚏𝚏 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚝𝚊𝚋𝚕𝚎. ❜❜ / @emeraldl1ght
❛❛ i'd like to point out that i definitely didn't need rescuing, ❜❜ not that she'd have known such a thing, but he's nothing if not stubbornly annoying, ❛❛ & your bad guy is getting away . . . ❜❜ / @sandmark
TO MOST, SPIDER-MAN IS NOT A CREATURE OF QUIET. he speaks as easily as breathing, pulling at strings, wearing on nerves. ' doesn't play nice. ' or, his favorite, ' 𝚍𝚘𝚎𝚜𝚗'𝚝 𝚏𝚘𝚕𝚕𝚘𝚠 𝚘𝚛𝚍𝚎𝚛𝚜. ' the truth is, spider-man works better alone. that's when he can be quiet. when he is the true predator. unlike now.
❛❛ so @opt1cblast . . . uh, whose decision was it to make you wear those yellow undies ? you know, that old costume ? the blue one. the silly one. do you still have it in your closet ? ❜❜ he doesn't do well with awkward silences, especially when an audience is involved. even if it's an audience of one & they're supposed to be staking out a place.
❛❛ you remind me of someone, ❜❜ he says, & at once it feels wrong. teetering too close to an epiphany. it sets his teeth on edge, though the reason eludes him; & there is no tell-tale ring at the base of his neck. he is struck, instead, 𝚋𝚢 𝚑𝚒𝚜 𝚘𝚠𝚗 𝚌𝚘𝚗𝚏𝚞𝚜𝚒𝚘𝚗. ❛❛ sorry, @lvebug, never mind. ❜❜
❛❛ i feel as though all our conversations revolve around baked goods or matthew. & while i love both of those things, 𝚖𝚊𝚢𝚋𝚎 𝚠𝚎 𝚜𝚑𝚘𝚞𝚕𝚍 𝚎𝚡𝚙𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝚘𝚞𝚛 𝚑𝚘𝚛𝚒𝚣𝚘𝚗𝚜. ❜❜ languid, muttering, perhaps speaking before thinking. it's not typical for him to slip into friendship with civilians / yet it is spider-man who knows the people of new york. this ... this is not exactly the same. ❛❛ seriously. if we keep talking about the devil, he's going to start appearing like beetlejuice. ❜❜ ( @nguyetvan )
