sldfkjfg we're still threading it out but I imagine better than he expected, squints.

LMAO TRUER WORDS WERE NEVER SPOKEN... I appreciate that in a world of crazy superpowers the most decorated fighters in ItB are the Badass Normals who retired with injuries but can still beat yo ass.

M.K.: /years out from this humiliation, meets another dude who can distinguish footsteps, shudders. X(

OMG YES. I'd be honored to inaugurate his Daredeviling...................

He's glad that he doesn't typically have to go the "Yes the gods are real route. No I'm not making this up." So it's all good.

But, yes, Jo and Jason need some CR.

YIKES QUENTIN WHAT

what

rip people's hearts out for putting sprinkles on ice cream...

ALRIGHT CLIFF NOTES TRAUMA: uncle ben's death, captain stacy's death, gwen's death on his shoulders. he was cloned (several times, and briefly gave up his life because he thought he was the clone); and a totally terrible retcon has gwen stacy, love! of his life! sleeping with norman osborn (arch-nemesis, green goblin, and all-around terrible father of his bff) and giving birth to t...wins... who later try and kill him.

oh, and said dead girlfriend was also cloned by a dude obsessed with her.

then we've got being buried alive for two weeks! (it was traumatising.) may's death faked! mary jane's death faked! separation! then he dies, he sheds his skin, creates a cocoon, comes back to life with weird magic spider powers, briefly has an embarrassing idolisation of tony stark and reveals his identity on national tv. which means aunt may gets shot (bullet meant for mj!), EVERYTHING IS TERRIBLE, he commits MANY CRIMES and ends up making a deal with the devil to sell his marriage to make things okay again.

then we had a shitty story that establishes the false memories peter and mj have of their marriage not working out is: peter misses the wedding entirely, and they break up (later) due to mj wanting kids as a requirement for getting married and not wanting to bring them into a life with peter parker because he's ..... spider-man.

the usual dramas happen for a while, then otto octavius (runner-up nemesis, really) steals his body, peter technically dies in otto octavius' body. otto goes around for like, a year pretending to be peter parker/spider-man, no-one really notices that peter's LOST THE FUCKING PLOT until he regains control of his body. then he becomes a national disgrace twice over for destroying the company otto had set up in his name, and later because ...... peter never actually finished grad school, so otto did his phd as peter and then peter got accused of plagiarising otto......

and now aunt may has cancer. and he was going to propose to mj (again), but he was too late because she'd gone to california to shoot a movie.

less traumatically, he also kinda has a sister, it turns out. her name is teresa and she's a super cool cia agent.

but tbh most of that's irrelevant because peter will never ever mention it. which means, like, HE CAN RELATE, Q, HE'S JUST NOT going to elaborate on how and why........

lmao peter will just take quentin's word that there's a tswift song for every occasion, because the most recent artist he actually really, genuinely listens to, is run-dmc. soz q.

BUT TOO DAMN RIGHT SPIDER-MAN'S A COOL NEW YORKER. (aka of fucking course growing up in jersey was a traumatic experience, quentin, it's fucking jersey.)

The Questing Cock? It's a thing. See, in the Magicians, the magical, fictional fairy tale land of Fillory turns out to be real and not just a story in a book. This world has questing creatures, and if you catch them, you get a wish / a quest. The Questing Cock in one of these - he lives in the Cock Barrens. Yeah. He's a giant bird.

See, this monster was made by the Gods at the beginning of time, and because they really fucking suck, they made a being of pure want. It doesn't know how NOT TO WANT things, mostly, it wants affection. Attention. It's basically a five year old with unlimited powers. It kidnaps Quentin, and then murders around the world with Quentin there as a witness or, more likely, his security blanket. Because it really, really likes Quentin. The Monster killing someone over sprinkles here.

Eliot:
1, 2, 3

The Monster:
1, 2 3

Quentin will also NEVER MENTION any of this! He doesn't even mention Eliot as anything other than - this is Eliot (/explanation). He'll talk Peter's ear off about his ideas about superheroes, tropes and fantasy stories! Yay! But mention ANY OF THIS WHOLE MESS? Never. He might mention problems in his own world? And that he died 39 times? But the whole messy emotional crap? NEVER!

Holy crap - I dropped out of the comics right after the story mentioned that the Peter Parker we'd been reading about, was really the clone and the clone (who wasn't even called Peter by that time) was really the original Peter. It was a mess. I never really got in to it after that, because I found other comics? But wow, and MJ and Green Goblin? Shit!

Don't mention that you relate without elaborating, Peter! Because Quentin has this whole HUGE must fix the thing!-thing going on! Unless he gets distracted by random crap. It's part of how he only feels like he has a right to exist if he's useful? Since if he isn't being useful to someone, or something (quests!) he's just a waste of space. Issues, man! So many issues! But otherwise he's going to try to get Peter to talk about weird things!

Quentin being bad at taking a shirt off:


Quentin, still and always loving his ex-girlfriend Alice:
1, 2

Quentin and Eliot:
1, 2 3, 4

Oh, he WILL FUCKING SING THEM! Don't ever doubt the power of TSwift! Seriously, though. I have no idea, Quentin is a BIG FAN in canon, so I have to google Taylor Swift songs a lot.

HE KNOWS! Jersey is not good a good place for a kid! New York IS BETTER!

He almost DID go! And almost alone - he had Peter Parker as backup and that guy *eye roll* is just a tech guy.

They can also just met and talk? He's going to be helping Midge make food for Beacon, so they could talk if she wants food? He's NOT cooking, so the food is going to be good!

questing cock. cock barrens...... of course.

SECURITY BLANKET QUENTIN oh my god. honestly, magicians sounds like a trip. i love the fact that the shirt he's wearing is his happy shirt...

OH MAN SORRY that was my bad for lack of clarity, it was gwen and norman — sins past, which was a straczynski story. he'd originally wanted the kids to be pete and gwen's, but editorial decided that peter having kids would fucking age him too much, so obviously the better answer was to decide that ... norman and gwen slept together..... ironically, jms' run is my favourite of the modern runs, but the duds he ended up writing were absolutely fucking terrible.

BUT LMFAO HONESTLY i am not surprised you dropped out around the clone saga. ben reilly being the "real" peter OBVIOUSLY WASN'T RECEIVED VERY WELL, so they dropped it. it's just totally wild to me that marvel thought it would work.

GOSH. QUENTIN GETTING (UN)DRESSED IS LIKE A PRETTY VALUABLE LIFE SKILL...

tbh they need to bond over pizza again.

See? The dick jokes write themselves in his canon! Also, at one point, he had to explain how cooperative magic works - and he used the following example:

"Look, just imagine dicks, okay? With one dick, you're just jerking yourself off, but with three dicks, suddenly you've got six people having sex. Which is more powerful? "

So, yeah. Dick jokes. It's a thing. Expect more.

Still, tho. Gwen and Norman isn't that much better? It's still- oh gross. Because Peter would be too old? He's SPIDER-MAN! It's not like he's going to end up decrepit because he's 40. But yeah, some writers can make or break a story. Personally, I just love the stories that deconstruct the tropes? Like Red Son? Astro City? Irredeemable? Watchmen?

Irredeemable (deconstruction of Superman, kind of), has a line about a friend of the Plutonian asking him - "what does it feel like to be you?" (mean, to be special, to save the day, to be super) and a few years later, when the Plutonian snaps, he puts the friend in the middle of a flash-flood, with thousands of people in danger. Men, women, children, all just waiting to die from exposure or drowning. He puts his friend down in the middle and says: "Choose ten." Of course the friend argues, pleads- "Just the kids, then! Please!" And the Plutonian goes: "This is what it feels like to be me - now Choose. Ten." The friend picks ten, going "There! Happy now?" and the Plutonian sets the rest of the people he didn't pick on fire.

I love shit like that.

Well, to be fair to them, comicbook fans have been willing to eat a lot of shit before, so. Maybe they just thought they would keep doing it.

HE DOES NOT HAVE THIS LIFE SKILL!! HE IS NOT SKILLED AT LIFE IN ANY WAY, SHAPE or FORM!

... they really should!

DREAMWIDTH PLEASE SEND MY REPLIES.

But yes! Daylight things Kol was super neat after helping keep his items safe during the Bury Your Friend event and now, thanks to their current event, Daylight finds Kol super cool because awesome magic powers. If he promises to show his works will Kol talk about other cool powers from his world? Please?

(And Daylight is a good artist! Specialises in portraits and landscapes. Especially portraits! Kol would know that when holding the sketchbooks in his posessions, if he ever decided to take a peek in them.)

Also patrolling buddies! Daylight would ask Kol to not attack certain spirits - Fluffy Flower Friend, etc - or until the spirits give them cause, since Day does believe in the idea of them working together with the spirits still. (But, also, please imagine Day confiding to Kol, 'I think some are out to get us.' as Kol just stares at Day like really.)

NO IT WAS CRAP- maybe he would have foudn the way out? Who knows? Or, like, a giant sinkhole?

Ohh, she's going to miss out so much, because Midge makes the best food! But yeah, they can meet at the whole feeding people-thing once this event is over.

SO LONG AS THAT CART KEEPS A STEADY CLIENTELE SHE'S HAPPY SHE'LL MAKE IT HAPPEN

She can pretty much respect that, honestly - I think she'd be perplexed if it came from a place of practicality (secret identities would be silly to maintain in such a tiny town, c'mon), but on a 'Just Ain't Feeling It' level that rings as legitimate, no hate Peter

Backdated would probably be good for normal-to-mild chatter in the 'the fuck was that' vein/baby rapport-establishing, so that's probably a good option? (AND IF THIS WEIRD GAP IN REPLY HAS FRUSTRATED YOU I COULD THROW SOMETHING TOGETHER INSTEAD, BAH)

Me too. I've really been enjoying the network thread and I want to do more with them. I've been slow of late, I appreciate the backtagging.

Maybe Dec event?

[personal profile] catholicisms 2019-11-29 02:45 pm (UTC)(link)

No worries! I get slow, I feel like I’m incredibly slow myself. So always take the time you need!

Yeah we should see what’s happening and see what we can do!

Oh that was you. Okay.

nevermind that this is two weeks later, oops

They're not gonna talk about Her Type. That subject is off the table, don't make her punch you, Kol. But also yes I need it. All of it. Make a good impression and she'll keep that little vampire secret he's hiding.

[personal profile] knifecollecting 2019-12-02 01:39 am (UTC)(link)
Well! She trusts Midge but she doesn't want to take food from people who can't cook. She can take care of herself LOL
