+1 spider-man minus the spider powers

[webshootings]

hello, i'm brand new here. my name's trace and i've been around the dwrp world for awhile so i've probably played with a few of you. those that i haven't, hello, nice to meet you! hope we can be pals and such!

for those that don't know, peter's a superhero with spider powers who's going to be a little off balance to find that those powers are gone. no sweat, he can live with it, he's done it before. he'll just fall back on his incredible good looks and sense of humor.

hahaha just kidding unless??

no, really, i'm kidding. peter's coming off the second movie so he's going to be dealing with a lot of grief and guilt issues that he will steadfastly hide while still trying to be a good person. he'll be great for anything science, sarcasm or skateboarding related. less great at facing his own problems.

if you want to find me, you can find me at jortles. i'm also at discord @ himbos as well.

hi5 for traumatized superheroes without their powers! He's my favorite of the movie spiders, so I'm very excited to see him and you here.

Also oof, if Daisy gets wind of how much they have in common, she will 1000% attach herself to this poor kid. Especially with that guilt and self-blame over losing someone they loved.

[webshootings]

gotta love a good traumatized superhero with a guilt complex bigger than the grand canyon. hi5.

i'm happy to be here and to get to play with your daisy again! i think these two'll be some good cr.

[chuju]

Bigger than the Grand Canyon is right. What is it with Marvel liking to torture their characters so much? (I say, knowing full well I wouldn't have it any other way.)

Are you interested in keeping their TDM thread as canon, or should we start them fresh?

[webshootings]

because them having nice, easy lives isn't as fun!

and i'm definitely down with keeping it canon! i've enjoyed that thread of theirs.

Hey, Trace! I'm Cheryl, your head mod! Welcome to Singillatim! I think I remember you from back in Deer Country when it was still going??? It feels like... so long now, ooft.

Anywho, I'm here with the saddest zombie boye Kieren here, from shortlived BBC drama In The Flesh. He's also big on Guilt and Grief on account of the zombism. I also have equally sad jesus girl Kate Marsh from Life Is Strange! Sorry, no happiness here. Just sad teens.

idk how much skateboarding he's gonna get to do, might need to trade in for some snowboarding in this place. still counts tho, right?

[webshootings]

yes, i was definitely in deer country for awhile! that was right around the time i was having some health problems so wasn't there as much as i wanted to be.

i've alwys wanted to watch in the flesh because it's right up my alley but he and peter can be guilt and grief bros, i think.

and lmao TRUE skateboarding won't do much here. he'll learn to snowboard. thank you for the welcome!

[castitas]

Oh, I'm sorry to hear about you having health problems. Definitely been there and it sucks. I hope you're doing better these days!

GOD I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT like even if it's just the first three episodes (aka series 1). Series 2 is also great but the first series is just such a nice little character piece/story. Kieren got mad guilt over his zombie times and also lost someone he loved a whole lot and has guilt there so hell yeah

[webshootings]

things are under control, thank you! still present but that's life. i have been doing a lot better in 2024.

i will definitely be making sure i find this and watch it soon now. it's been on my long list of 'to watch' for years and i just hadn't done it but it's time, it's time.

Hello Trace, I'm Jhey and welcome to the game! I have two horror guys here: Edward Little from the Terror and Konstantin Veshnyakov from the movie Sputnik. Edward's a nervous Victorian naval officer who has a tendency to nanny young people even if he can barely understand what any of their Modern Lingo means (what is this skateboard you speak of....) so he could be fun(ny) to toss as Peter sometime!

Konstantin is a space commander from the 80's who picked up a gnarly alien parasite on a space mission, and it's here with him in game, so "suddenly facing a frightening change that completely alters the course of your life afterwards" is very much A Theme tm for him as well. He also is very Hero Type (and literally is known as a Hero in his culture, he even has a medal....) so there's some nifty common ground there that could be fun to play around with!

[webshootings]

the terror!!! that's one of my favorite shows and one i'm definitely due a rewatch for sometime soon. it's been too long. plz feel free to nanny peter all you want, edward.

and konstantin sounds super super interesting. i'm not canon familiar but man, i definitely like the thought of cr between the two of them.

[ployboy]

Tim looking at this guy like "First Time?"

Sometimes superheroics are a wonderful way to ruin your own life!! Hi I'm Fox, I play Tim Drake, and

>dealing with a lot of grief and guilt issues that he will steadfastly hide while still trying to be a good person. he'll be great for anything science, sarcasm or skateboarding related. less great at facing his own problems.

I'm looking forward to this DC/Marvel crossover, Dumb Boy edition.

[webshootings]

hello!! please let's throw the dumb boys at each other to be dumb and stupid and superheroic together!

[ployboy]

like the Teen Titans but there's no actual titans huh

wheezes

I'm going to laugh at you newbies for getting the World Eater event triggered so quickly it took the rest of us months what have you done--

lmao enjoy your stay!! Welcome to sing!!

[webshootings]

hahaha i have just woken up to that and i'm delighted. trauma RIGHT AWAY.

[guidemyway]

Hello, I'm Josh and I play Ruby Rose.

I've loved our thread on the TDM and Ruby can actually a relate to a whole lot that Peter has going on in terms of grief and guilt.

Thank goodness they can totally avoid talking about their issues with big smiles and humor, right?

[webshootings]

hello, josh! thank you for the welcome!

i've really enjoyed their thread too and i look forward to more especially more 'let's discuss our issues with smiles and humor' conversations. that's exactly how he deals.

[pythianwoman]

aaaa HI! It's been a while since we've been in a game together so I'm super excited! I've just got Zoey here. Look forward to tossing her at him!

[webshootings]

hello again! and yes, it has been awhile but we've managed to be in a game together again! looking forward to it!
