okay so

some kind anon made me look really cool on the network the other day
so i have to set the record straight
that flippy thing is surrounded by a whole bunch of me being the least cool dude on the planet so here it is

"Spider-Man's VLOG 1080p" (Watch on YouTube)

[ The video is pretty much exactly as-is, except it cuts off right before Tony Stark shows up at the end (and skips the end part in the car entirely). Also the other superheroes have clear AU versions of their powers. Rune-powered suits, Candle enhancements, etc. ]

im not technically allowed to share this probably
but also: what are they even gonna do about it

btw if you havent met me yet, my names peter parker
and i live at aube (mostly)

ETA: oh yeah im uploading this now because i broke my phone the other day and almost lost it
so now it will live forever on the network instead
youre welcome

Then there you go. Nothing to worry about.

I'm not especially good in battle, but I can protect people my own way.

[ Of course, he's pretty good in battle. He just doesn't like people knowing how good or how much he enjoys it. ]

[leekspins]

Oh. It sounds very similar!

[punshots]

wait thats u man????

[ Um, he didn't really Peter was basically a huge celebrity? Man, pressure's on now. He goes to the same school as Spider-Man. ]

idk i think the other stuff makes it all even COOLER
cuz ur just a normal guy
u know relatively speaking

hey uh would it be weird if i asked for ur autograph

[made_up_names]

hey
im NOT giving up
but you saw me try to cast spells earlier

those allergies are really bad

[made_up_names]

cause youre all sciencey and stuff. magic science.

[ A thought occurs to him. ]

do you know medical stuff too?

[leekspins]

Did you show them to your teacher yet?

[made_up_names]

[ That's not quite the response he was expecting. ]

uh
it is weird but
if you really want it go for it?

[made_up_names]

no not yet

[leekspins]

Tomorrow, then. I can't imagine any of the professors being so cruel as to flunk you just because casting magic literally hurts you. I can add my witness account if necessary.

You'll be okay.

[heromedal]

That's me. Magic and technology, voodoo dolls and chants.

[ Just gonna quote Oingo Boingo here. ]

Not as much as I'd like, but I've been stitching myself up for a while. What do you need?

[made_up_names]

well i mean yeah thats true
i just also dont really want to show them?

[leekspins]

Why?

Should I switch to private?

[made_up_names]

[ Alas, the reference is probably too cool for Peter to recognize. ]

so im really really bad at casting magic
like incredibly bad
i think im allergic to magic

[ That's not actually a thing. ]

[punshots]

i mean u dont have to if its weird
idk man that was just really cool!!!
that suit must have been like a trillion dollars

[atomicultimatum]

:o
youre spiderman!

[She hadn't know either, and only really knows of spiderman because of a brief time being in and around New York. Ah the wonders of globe-hopping. So, yeah Peter, you have a new fan.]

thats so cool and you are too!
youre also really funny, too :D
do you have more videos?

[made_up_names]

like a couple million yeah
at least thats what he said
i wish i still had it

[made_up_names]

whoa you know who spider-man is? for real? thats awesome

i got a couple more yeah but theyre really short

[made_up_names]

no no its fine
i just feel like im making excuses

[leekspins]

It's okay. I shouldn't have been trying so hard to cheer for something you didn't want, I didn't realize it sooner.

If you ever want to study, let me know.

[punshots]

GEEZ
i think id go comatose just touching something worth that much
what happened to it?

[made_up_names]

no i
man that makes it sound like im not grateful or something
i am SUPER SUPER grateful for you helping me orihime

[made_up_names]

uh
i dont know actually
i had a rough mission and lost it

[heromedal]

[ If you're less cool than Oingo Boingo you're thermonuclear. ]

I'm almost certain that's not a thing.

[ But not completely certain. ]

It's possible you may have an adverse reaction to certain types due to your unique physiology, I'll concede. On a cursory Occam's razor approach I'd say it's more likely it's simply not a talent you possess. There's a reason mage clans marry selectively- it's not a common gift and most are trained from a very young age.

But if you like I can come up with a methodology to test the hypothesis.

[ He's getting the mad science smile over here- that'd mean samples. ]

[atomicultimatum]

ive only ever heard some mentions of spiderman :o
but definitely also him helping some people
somewhere somehow sorry

[She forgets the details now.]

id like to see them sometime
or maybe you could start making new ones!

[leekspins]

Ha ha! Don't worry about that, I wasn't even thinking it. But I do like being able to help you when I can. Maybe I got too addicted!
