Apping to DDD - Canon is Amazing Spiderman - Possible spoilers in comments?

[spandexed]

So.

Congratulations on the carpal tunnel thing. I mean, hey, you earned it. Powering out an app and clicking the upload icon button a hundred or so times in the span of a couple days, is definitely an accomplishment.

Excellent. Really. Gold stars.

No no, really, I really do appreciate it. I mean, if you're going to do this, you should do it right. Or right-ish. Close as you can get anyway.

Have to say you're kind of starting off on the wrong foot with the journal name. I mean... that's the direction you want to go, huh?

All right. Just checking.

It doesn't have to be spandex, y'know. There's always like, cloth.

[spandexed]

I don't know. Somehow denim or wool blend doesn't seem to have the same... oomph.

[nerdylilspidey]

Point! But it's a little harder to fix up when it inevitably gets ripped up in a fight.

[spandexed]

True.

On the plus side, I have to have earned at least six merit badges for sewing now. Home economics is going to be my bitch.

[nerdylilspidey]

Oooh! Those should get a place of prominence on the suit! Right next to the spider-emblem, or down the arms or something. Just think of all the bragging rights you'll have!

[donowthinklater]

Is that like a tunnel full of fish?

[spandexed]

...uh....

Sure. Why not. It's kind of like a tunnel full of fish. In this scenario, the fish are pain and the tunnel is your wrist.

[donowthinklater]

So they're tiny fish that burrow into your skin. They related to those-what'retheycalledagain pirahna?

[spandexed]

Yes. Violent predators from the sea of metaphor that attack unsuspecting computer junkies.

[donowthinklater]

Never heard of that sea. Is that in Europe?

So you're a superhero?

[doyoufondue]

You willingly chose spandex...? [ why peter why ]

[spandexed]

There really weren't that many options. [Not everyone can pull off your look, Captain Tightpants.]

Besides, it has its advantages.

[schrodingersghost]

Oi. Some of us didn't get a choice about the spandex issue.

[spandexed]

...forced spandex? That sounds like a reportable crime.

[schrodingersghost]

...Kind of came with the whole ghost thing. I figured I was lucky it wasn't orange.

[spandexed]

...ghosts wear spandex? Is that what the afterlife is like?

Damn.

[schrodingersghost]

Nah, that's just me. At least I hope it's just me.

[6collegecredits]

Nothing wrong with a little spandex as long as it's powers are used for good and not evil.

[spandexed]

I'm the epitome of used for good. Seriously.

Then again, this is... sort of more than a little spandex. But you know, details.

[6collegecredits]

I think we can let it slide. As long as the good outweighs the spandex.

[spandexed]

Of course. Most everything outweighs spandex. There's nothing to it.

But you know, you've got a point. With great spandex comes great responsibility. Or something like that.

[introuble]

[ ooh, she should not make a spandex comment, nope, she should leave Peter with some dignity and maybe a pat on the shoulder and move onto something else, but- ]

I don't think it's a terrible direction. I mean, there are worse directions. To go in.

[ a pause for true dignity-crushing strength ]

-- than spandex. I'm sure.

[ griiiin. she's bustin' chops today! ask anybody. ]

[spandexed]

[O-oh. His pride. So wounded.]

Ah... well. Yeah....

[Blink. Hold please, some cute blonde just broke his nerdy little brain. Ok. Got it.]

I mean, yeah of course there are. In fact, it could be much worse. Sequins, for example. Or anything bedazzled.

[introuble]

[ he gets a surprised laugh at that, the kind that happens when you think you have enough control to not laugh, but then someone goes and says something much funnier than you anticipated, so there it is. she's quick to cut it out though, nodding very seriously as her expression sobers again ]

You know, I think bedazzled would be a good look for you. Not so effective in the stealth department, but you know, it might- [ trying not to laugh hold on- ] - it might. Work in your favor in other ways. Like a distraction tactic.

But that doesn't match your journal name, so, maybe it's just not in the cards.

[spandexed]

[He grins a bit at that. Yes, very serious face, Gwen. He can tell. For his part, he's trying to look thoughtful and serious himself.]

Yeah. It'd definitely cut down stealth, but I suppose I could blind people with style.

[Yeah so much for serious face.] You're probably right. I'll leave the sparkling the the Twilight kids and stick with the unitard.
