And Now We Squee

[newjerseyhero]

Is, is it true, Mun? That I'm, I mean, am I really getting to join... them?!

Eeeeeeee. I just can't even! I mean, yeah I debated putting my hero OC in a team fic but I felt it might have been a bit too self-insert but this is real life! I'm actually being in a team and it's not self-insert and it's my actual life! I'm going to be in a team! I... I'm not just going to be a home town hero anymore, Mun. I'll be going everywhere, trying to help everyone! This is... this is so much bigger than I ever thought. Do... do you think I'm ready for it?

(Also, while I can't really yell at you about the shipping 'cause I do it too, can you please remember I might actually meet some of these people?! Though that one is across country... and that one is another company... Wait, not the point! Shipping. Stop. Around me. With me. Whatever way those words make sense!

's okay. My mun just likes the fact that we're a couple of really selfless and heroic kids, doin' the right thing 'cause we can.

Beats the heck out of me. I'd think the flaming skull thing would be a major turn off.

[newjerseyhero]

My mun likes that too. She's waiting on us getting action figures, so she can create her own team. [beat, then grin] Oh gosh, I just said that. Me, getting an action figure. It'll never happen, but can you even imagine?

...Well, Goths would probably like it...

[kid_nova]

[he grins, then laughs.]

Hey, getting your own action figure proves you've made it big. And there's plenty of collector-oriented toylines these days...

[newjerseyhero]

Wouldn't our own figures be cool?

[kid_nova]

Seriously cool.

[newjerseyhero]

Think it's likely to happen? I mean, Mun said one of her favourite Marvel teen heroes only got her figure like... this year. And she was out years ago.

[kid_nova]

Definitely. Pretty sure I might have a toy already 'cause of the Spider-Man cartoon, only that's not really the same as comic me.

[newjerseyhero]

But it's still a figure of a sort of you, right?

[kid_nova]

Yeah, I guess it is.

Oooh, maybe you could get one of those build-a-figures, of you all "embiggened!"

[newjerseyhero]

Oh, that would be cool... But then there's the problem of the one character that's always shortpacked, but has the most important part of the figure with it.

[kid_nova]

Aw, geeze. You're right. That would suck.

[newjerseyhero]

And then there'd be those people on ebay who'd sell it, but only for over the top prices...

[kid_nova]

Aaaw, man. I hate that!
