Notes: spoilers for the Ultimate Spider-Man run; mention of character death
[The video feed comes on, and it's the smallest Spider-Man pacing a rooftop. He's masked up, so no one can see his face, but it's probably pretty clear from his body language that he's distraught. And when he finally speaks, that definitely comes through in his voice.]
So-- So I'm gonna out and say it. Okay? I'm-- Apparently, I'm the last one, and- and-
[He stops. Sighs. Shakes his head and starts over. No more pacing, he just plops down in front of the camera like a child.]
Y'know, when I got here, there were like. Five Spider-Men. And I thought, oh hey, wow, look at all these way cooler versions of me that exist across the multiverse. Neat. Maybe I can learn from them. Or maybe I can take a break, do some normal teenager stuff. That'd be nice.
They're all-- They're all gone now.
[He pauses, glancing off to the side with a soft huff.]
..I thought I was okay with that. It- It's been a little while now, and I thought I was okay. But y'know what? This sucks. 'Cause to me-- See, there's one major difference between me and the other Spider-Men that were here, besides being the youngest, and that-- It- It's that I died.
[He throws his hands up in an exasperated "Whaddaya gonna do" motion, sighing yet again.] So- Y'know. That's why I'm stuck here. Sorry that you're all stuck with the inferior dead one. Just thought the people- [He makes a wide gesture out toward the camera and at the city around him.] -might wanna know that I?? I am the sucky one.
Sorry. Good luck, us.

[The message is public. He has too many people to send it to that he doesn't want to have to filter or tag individually. He's clearly up on a roof somewhere, bundled for the weather.]
I've put it off for as long as I can. I gave the social worker a story about wanting some time with study outside of school before interacting with my peers, due to an unfamiliarity with Earth, and they had me do a school online? For a little while.
But I've run out of time. I've run out of excuses and they want me to go to the meta school, but they said the teachers are Guild-Affiliated.
I'm not going to a school that'd encourage their students to join the guilds.
And I'm not staying with a fake family that hasn't earned my trust.
I'm only putting this message up so people know not to look for me. I have a plan and I've prepared for it. I'll be in touch. And reach out if I need help.

Display Name: Godzilla
Profile Photo: Happy boi
Notes: None
(At first, it begins simply enough, with Godzilla being small enough to use his phone and hold up a sign in front of the camera.)
Hello, everyone.
I have an important announcement
(He holds the sign up for a few seconds, lowering it and pretending to write more over it, though the lizard is almost vibrating with how much excitement he's visibly holding back. That's why he doesn't hold it back for long. With a deep, somewhat rumbly voice, Godzilla speaks.)
I can speak! I never thought it would happen, but here I am! Magic may always stump me, but I'll never underestimate what it's capable of. And just in case he's paying attention: thank you again, Loki.
It feels strange introducing myself after being here for so long, but I can finally do it myself. Without written words. They call me "Godzilla" back home. Normally, I'm large enough to stand taller than buildings, but one of the first things I received on arrival was a charm to control my size. It makes learning about people much easier when I don't have to worry about stepping on them. I've been learning how to read and write to try and communicate with others, and I don't plan on stopping despite the gift of speech. I know something so freely given can also be freely lost, but something I learn myself will be much harder to take away.
And just in case anyone is worried: no, I don't eat humans. I eat fish.

RUE MOORE HAS IT: SEPTEMBER EDITION
Sep. 13th, 2022 09:09 pm![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
Hel-lo, Metacuties~! Rue here. Did you miss me~?
So sorry about the unexpected hiatus! I was brought into another world during all that fuss last month - oh, darlings. I may just be a baseline human here, but I was living my best meta life in that world! You should have seen me, soaring through the skies~! [Rue sighs.] Ah, well. At least I know you’ve all been busy while I was gone.
[Here, Rue’s tone goes a little somber.]
I’ve heard about all the recent unrest in Excelsior. It’s sad to see such a friendly city turning on its own heroes and scientists. I know a lot has happened there, but I don’t blame any metas, no matter where they’re from, for what happened. As powerful as they are, they still can’t control everything, you know?
So don’t worry, everyone. I’m still your biggest fan - and your biggest gossip! So, let’s get to it, shall we?
[A musical sting - gossip time!]
Big news to start - a little birdie told me that Harry Osborn, classy modern man from Excelsior, doesn’t only have the brains to shine in business. He's also got the equipment to shine between the sheets! Reliable sources have commented on Harry's pet anaconda, if you catch my drift - yet this delightful bachelor remains single. Who out there could have the guts to tame this scaly beast?
It seems newcomer Billy Hargrove has also made quite the name for himself on social media, due to his huge success on OnlyStans. This retro-flavored bad boy is raking it in if his following count has anything to say, and rumour has it he’s branching out into exclusive video content and brand deals. Keep an eye out, cuties~!
On the romantic side, summer brought us such lovely warm weather that it has heated up the hearts of two handsome yet shy bachelors! Ripley and Eddie shared drinks during one of Little Love's many merry barbecues but there's a different kind of summer thirst they refuse to quench! Mayhap they need a little push in the right direction? Ripley should take a break from taking jobs and use his abilities to find the courage to ask Eddie out before his toothy guardian takes matters into his own gooey hands.
Finally, with the cutest meta I’ve ever seen - they say you can’t teach an old dog new tricks, but the Confluence is here to remind you that even metapets can turn your world upside down! A new category of furry black void has taken over cat lovers' hearts by the storm - Sleeper is here to prove anything your kitty can do, they can do better!
[Rue will put this picture on the screen.]
I'm not kitten you - if you need to have some pawsitivity in your life, please don't hesitate to start your day with the purrfect cat meme!
[You can just feel the puns.]
Now, let’s get back to what our newest stars are doing for the community! Don't you love the lack of smell of kaiju blood in the air? The city of Atlantis is slowly coming back to its former glory thanks to the organized effort of metas. Guild members and unaligned strays alike have worked together with civilian charity groups to help the Atlanteans and clean the waters, proving once again all you need to be a hero is goodwill and one free afternoon!
It's back-to-school season and the children of Sunset Falls are blossoming thanks to their magic training! That said, at this age, the youngsters do still need to get better control of their enthusiastic, yet wild sparkles. Fortunately for them, the pulchritudinous Lady Yennefer has a soft spot for kids and has provided them with guidance in order to make Sunset Falls a safer place for everyone. Stressed parents can now finally sleep eight hours without the bed disappearing right under their noses!
Even in Excelsior, our metas are doing their part for everyone! I’ve heard that up-and-coming hero Doctor Octopus was seen fighting a brand new nemesis, the dashingly mustachioed Walrus, during the blackout. Are these two star-crossed enemies going to be the hottest new thing in Excelsior? When reached for comment, Doctor Octopus just said, "My name is not Doctor Octopus." Methinks the dilf protests too much~.
That’s all for today, sweeties! Be good to each other - and if you hear anything juicy, be good to me~.

( nothing special about this set-up outside of venom in full form napping like a baby on the couch behind him. )
So, things have been a little heated between the metas and the non-metas from the sounds of it. For good reason. Powers are really dangerous, and it kind of seems like everywhere we go, worlds literally seem to fall apart...
...Which isn't great.
People are, like, disappearing into other dimensions. I don't know what the fuck that's about, and hell if I know how to fix it.
But... I think it could be worth trying to fix things with the people who're afraid of us... Or hate us, but those ones might take a little more work to get through.
I don't see why we can't do this Coyote Ugly style and hold a Date-A-Meta Auction? Y'know, spend a day with a local so they get to see we aren't so bad?
Or each other, if you want.
Bid on whoever.
Plus all the proceeds would go to restoration projects to get the cities back in order. So it's a win-win.
Any volunteers?

[The video opens on a view of what appears to be one of the rooms in the Diadem, but the angle is that of a phone just left at an odd angle, probably against a pillow on the bed if the rumpled comforter is anything to go by, but it's hard to tell because the image keeps getting blocked by a black and yellow something that isn't in focus at first. After a while, it becomes clear that this is a cat, pawing and sniffing at the phone as if it isn't sure what is going on.
Finally, the cat sits back and meows, bats at the phone, and the feed ends.]

Notes: Mention of real-world issues, like classism and homelessness.
( hello, internet. you’re all graced with an opening shot of eddie walking backwards through what looks like an abandoned subway tunnel, facing the camera, with venom bright and blobby on his shoulder. )
Eddie Brock and Venom with boots on the ground, looking into the great urban legend of Excelsior. You’ve seen the posts, you’ve heard about it on TikTok, now experience it live as we get to the bottom of this mystery. This is the Eddie Brock Report 2.0… which might need a little work now that V’s on board-
LIVE LETHAL PROTECTION! LLP!
Yeah, but Live Lethal Protection sounds like we sell guns or something, man... Later. We’ll workshop names later.
As you can see, this is uncut, unfiltered, unscripted. Think of this like… like a pilot episode. We’ve got our lovely cameraman, Peter Parker-
HE MUST GET OUR GOOD SIDE.
What are you talking about? All of your sides are the same level of… gooey…
Sh. No. Focus.
FOCUS!
We’ve been chasing this story for a few weeks now.
Seemingly out of nowhere, this mysterious lair started appearing all over social media, and now everyone's in a frenzy to find it.
So, what's it all about, right? Is this a bunker piled high with… with untold riches? Probably not. Billion-dollar companies don’t just jump ship from their investments and leave said investments open for the public to go scavenging through. More than likely, the rumors stirring around this place are all a red herring. Y’know, something to distract us all from what’s really going on.
Superhero disappearances, increased poverty rates, distrust between those with superpowers and those without… There’s a growing class difference. This City of the Future, Excelsior, we like to think it’s so much different from a place like Central City, with the grittiness, and the seediness, and the crime, but it’s not. It’s really not.
( when they come across a particularly imposing path lodged full of debris, viewers can watch live as eddie suits up fully into venom and goes about digging the alcove free. )
DO NOT GROW DISTRACTED BY TECHNOLOGICAL GURUS AND SILLY HIPSTERS WITH THEIR LONG BEARDS AND THEIR HIGHLY EXPENSIVE COFFEE.
THERE ARE THOSE AT THE TOP WHO GROW RICH, AND THERE ARE THOSE AT THE BOTTOM WHO STRUGGLE.
THERE IS A RISING HOMELESS POPULATION, GROWING SAFETY CONCERNS...
( with the final hunk of junk metal flung free, eddie and venom separate. )
...Some guy earns a billion dollars from inventing self-cleaning contact lenses, meanwhile people around here don’t know where their next meal is coming from? And everyone wants to focus on Bunker!Tok?
…
We’re going to lay this all to rest. And, when we do, we can get back to focusing on the real issues—
( before they get much further, there's a flash of static across the camera feed, though peter doesn't seem to notice it. his voice cuts into the audio. )
Hold up, Mr. Brock. Uh. Eddie. Guys. Whatever! Anyway, sorry, I can edit this part out, but…there's something going on here. I can feel it. Like…an AI, maybe? It's not like anything I've felt before.

...Some guy earns a billion dollars from inventing self-cleaning contact lenses, meanwhile people around here don’t know where their next meal is coming from? And everyone wants to focus on Bunker!Tok?
…
We’re going to lay this all to rest. And, when we do, we can get back to focusing on the real issues—
( before they get much further, there's a flash of static across the camera feed, though peter doesn't seem to notice it. his voice cuts into the audio. )
Hold up, Mr. Brock. Uh. Eddie. Guys. Whatever! Anyway, sorry, I can edit this part out, but…there's something going on here. I can feel it. Like…an AI, maybe? It's not like anything I've felt before.

i haven't been here very long, so i'm looking to get the lay of the land.
tell me, who do you think is the strongest person here?
there's nothing better than listening to first hand accounts of great strength.
if there are stories of other feats, i'd like to hear them as well.
spare no details, even if they lean on the bloody side.

AITA For not telling someone I'm their kid from another timeline??
On mobile so sorry if the formatting is bad.
I (14) came here through a confluence and met someone (mid 30s ish??) who is very clearly an alternate universe version of my parent (keeping genders vague hope that's OK, i wanna keep us anonymous if i can). Like, same name and powers and everything. But they don't know who I am & haven't heard of me.
I keep almost telling them who I am but I can't go through with it. I'm scared they'll start resenting me for dumping that responsibility on them. AITA for keeping quiet about it??

[The video starts with the appearance of the big, scaly face of a dragon cocking his head as he stares at the camera.]
Hang on, that's not right.
[The camera switches around, revealing a gangly, freckled teenager.]
There we go. So, apparently this thing is supposed to let me communicate with people at long distances. Not sure how that works, but I'll take their word for it.
Hi, my name's Hiccup. Yes, it is really Hiccup. Hiccup Horrendous Haddock the Third if you wanna get all formal about it. It's a cultural thing. And trust me, it doesn't make any more sense in context.
The dragon you saw? [Said Dragon trudges around until he's visible behind Hiccup.] That's my buddy Toothless. Don't worry, he's friendly. He eats fish, mainly.
What else? I'm a Viking, I'm a blacksmith, and I like building things. I think that covers things for now. How about you guys.
