@peterparker ; video - it's gen z vlog time

[spidermenaces]

(some of us love our vlogging, our youtubeing, tik-toking-- and since here it's a known fact that peter parker happens to be spider-man, well, that means he gets to turn his tablet on while he swings through the winter wonderland that aldrip has come. whoever is watching gets a very nice view of aldrip from the tallest buildings, the snow twinkling and sparkling beneath him as he goes from building to building until he stops at the tallest one.

the camera pans and switches to his face, hair a mess of curls from all the wind that it faced and he smiles. it feels good to smile.)

So, I heard this thing, right -- this guy from the pizza shop told me, I don't know if he's lying or what, but apparently? Apparently, there's this superstition that we aren't supposed to leave our home during the solstice or something? But I'm curious - did someone go out last year? Did something happen? And if we go out... Well, actually, who's going out, first of all?

(the camera switches again, so he can film the skating ring from above-- someone just fell on their ass, and he sucks teeth because that must have hurt.)

Ooooh, ouch. Well, wear a helmet, don't get sick, invite me if you have eggnog! Friendly neighborhood Spider-man, out!

You're welcome will do
Though I'm not sure Alexa is gonna
He has it out for you

[westcoasts]

...alexa?

I've worked with quentin. I know what he's like.
it's fine.

could probably even call it karma, if I'm being honest.

[spidermenaces]

You guys don't have Alexa? It's this home device
You tell it what to do and then it does it
He said he's like a radio
So
You can tell Alexa to change stations and songs
Man you don't have Alexa????????

Karma, huh?

[westcoasts]

doesn't go by that name, but we got stuff that's like it.
but for the record, there's not a single person out there who's telling quire what to do and having him do it without arguing first.

I was 19 when I joined the avengers.
I didn't take well to authority.

[spidermenaces]

Yeah I am used to him now
Doesn't bother me
He can argue all he wants

Oh. How old was everyone else, though?

[westcoasts]

me, wanda and pietro were all 19/20.
cap was, I dunno, technically in his 40s?

[spidermenaces]

... Yeah okay
Big difference there

And Captain doesn't count for age does he
He's like
The most ripped old man in history

I didn't get to talk to him a lot

[westcoasts]

hank, tony, and janet were all older, but they were on a leave of absence when we joined.

he counts, same as barnes counts.

[spidermenaces]

Oh. Leave of absence? That's a thing? You can take one?

Man I fought the Winter Soldier
It was
A peak in my career

Though yeah you know probably counts now that I'm thinking of it

[westcoasts]

...yeah? everyone needs a break now and then, or else the job's gonna get too much.
or... whatever other reason you might want to quit for a bit.
self-exploration, helping out some of the other teams, you name it.

fighting barnes was a high-point? not defeating some bad guys?

[spidermenaces]

I was not informed that option was not available for me this year

I gotta teach you to talk in hyperbole
It's gonna help you with the teens

What I mean that it was cool. It was a few months after I became Spider-man
So
It was huge for me

[westcoasts]

did you think to ask?

( do you know how many times clint has upped and quit just because he's having a tantrum about something, peter?

so many. )

well, no, I think the problem we have here is you and I have very different opinions on the "winter soldier".

[spidermenaces]

Yes, sir
Yes I did
Constantly
And I asked too
And I said I wasn't qualified also
It did not work

I mean we are gonna have this problem all the time
I don't know you guys so well, I mostly interacted with mister Stark
And even if I did
Everything is different, right
So

[westcoasts]

that's when it becomes a case of asking for forgiveness for doing.
once an avenger, always an avenger and all that, but what that ALSO means is that it doesn't matter if you're active at the moment, what matters is that it's something you've answered the call to.

the avengers have NEVER been about forcing anyone to be part of the team.
stops being about choosing to do the right thing as soon as that happens.

[spidermenaces]

Yeah... I mean
It was more Fury to be really fair here
I mean I don't think you really wanna know what happened over here
It wasn't really great

But yeah. Whole thing

[westcoasts]

eh, nick fury has a bee in his bonnet about everything.

and he really shouldn't be getting involved in avengers business.

[spidermenaces]

But he does
I think
Pretty sure

Like I said I am not
Like I don't know a lot
I mean I'm
No one is really giving me the ins and outs of the Avengers protocols

(just all of the stark network and missiles and etc, but these two things are not connected okay.)

[westcoasts]

fury's SHIELD
avengers aren't SHIELD.

( that's not to say the avengers haven't helped out shield, and vice versa, but they're not affiliated and very much shouldn'y be affiliated, in clint's opinion. )

acronyms are generally bad news.

[spidermenaces]

Yeah but he seems to be everywhere
That's what I mean
He also bliped though so he's very... Uh
Upset

[westcoasts]

he's a spy, that's what spies do.

( or, like, he's THE spy. )

[spidermenaces]

He's terrifying
I don't know if it goes with the territory.

[westcoasts]

he's creepy, sure.
but you've met natasha, right?

[spidermenaces]

I mean
Briefly
The ones I really know are mister Stark and uh
Doctor Strange

And I had a moment with the space people too

[westcoasts]

you can get a brief impression.

anyway, most the spies I know are more black widow and less nick fury.

( aka clint barton just HAS A TYPE. )

[spidermenaces]

... Gorgeous and ass-kicking?

(not even scared of saying it on main - gwen would probably agree.)
