I JUST GOT RICK ROLLED BY SPIDERMAN

Notes:

i wrote this AGES ago, back when being verified mattered and twitter still existed. seems almost silly to post it now, but i still really like it, so here you go.

all usernames are random, if i accidentally nailed yours i’m so sorry

recently deanoned with a few other fics lol

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Work Text:

@spiderman

google how do i get verified

 

@cheer15nyc

Bro wait how did you get that username

reply -- @spiderman

i'm spiderman do you really think i didn't go save this minutes after i decided on my name

 

@cheer15nyc

OK So then why haven't you tweeted before now??

reply -- @spiderman

i've been busy and also completely forgot i saved it

 

@ddfrogb_

This clown is trying to say he's the real Spiderman and I can't decide if he's going for clout or just RPing

reply -- @spiderman

how about a selfie? is this how i get verified?

(photo: selfie of spiderman, on top of a skyscraper with the New York skyline in the background. he is very high up)

 

@ayuda_ayuda

imagine calling the real Spiderman a clown

reply -- @spiderman

i can be the real spiderman and still be a clown, let's not jump on the hate train or anything

 

@technogeek20

I don't buy it, that could be photoshop. Can you do something else to prove it's really you?

reply -- @spiderman

name it

 

@technogeek20

Oh No The Pressure, uh, as much as I wanna be like 'hey I'm at Starbucks right now come say hi', maybe you should tell a reporter that you have Twitter, that would probably be an easier way to get verified

reply -- @spiderman

i mean, i could do both. which starbucks?

 

@technogeek20

What The Fuck

(photo: a grinning black dude taking a selfie with Spiderman, who has put two fingered bunny ears behind the dude's head)

reply -- @spiderman

sorry I didn't take you up on the offer for coffee, it's hard to carry while swinging

Does Spiderman Have Twitter?

(link: to a news article, with the beginning lines, "This Thursday has been abuzz with the discovery of Spiderman's twitter account, using the handle @Spiderman, which had been saved but empty for the entirety of Spiderman's career. Evidently...")

reply -- @spiderman

is this enough to get me verified

 

@spiderman retweeted --

@spockspork

#VerifySpiderman

 

@spiderman

look at these hashtag views

(photos: a sparkling deep pink-purple skyline of New York, with the bottom reflection of mirrored glass showing Spiderman one-handedly taking the photo while sticking to the side of the building)

 

@_lostboys_

there's no way that's photoshop let's get this boy hashtag verified #VerifySpiderman

reply -- @spiderman

thank u for your support

 

@transdan

I know you're probably not going to see this since everyone and their dog is tweeting you right now, and I'm sure you don't remember but you saved my life three months ago and every single day I wake up and think about you and I think about how you told me you wanted me to keep going, and that gives me so much strength, and the fact that you help everyone is so uplifting and just wonderful and thank you...

reply -- @spiderman

i remember you daniel, and it makes me very happy to know you're alive and well.

@lollipopchild

hey @spiderman I just saw you and you were bleeding, are you okay?

reply -- @spiderman

right as rain, thanks for looking out xo

 

@puppicino

It's so fucking WEIRD that I can tweet literal @Spiderman and he might see it. It's like tweeting a cryptid and having bigfoot reply 'hey man thanks for the shoutout xo'

reply -- @spiderman

nice profile pic, love that dog xo

 

@bennyboi

Yo @Spiderman would you want a spider-sized dog

reply -- @spiderman

only if it did not harm the dog to be spider-sized

 

@cloverfieldrunner6

Dog sized spider @spiderman?

reply -- @spiderman

horrifying. yes.

 

@spiderman

thanks for the 100k followers, that's a lot. i'm beginning to think i'll never be verified though.

Spiderman Confirms Twitter Account Is Real

(link: to a news article, with the beginning lines: "Spiderman took a quick moment with reporters this afternoon after saving dozens of lives in a broken rail disaster to confirm the question on everyone's minds...")

 

@spideyfanbabey

The AUDACITY that @spiderman isn't verified now is just stunning

reply -- @spiderman

oh well, i tried. you all know it's me, just imagine the checkmark with your heart

 

@spiderman

i feel bad when i see the tweets abt 'spider-spotting' of people who were up looking for me and like ... i was taking a nap

 

@sylviare

it's ok!! it's fun for us no matter what. but you could send out a tweet when you go?

reply -- @spiderman

i would but there are a few problems. one, often don't have my phone. two, it's usually an emergency and it seems negligent to take a mo to send out a tweet. three, i don't want criminals to know when it's cool to do crime, you know?

 

@sylviare

that's fair, carry on! and don't be afraid to nap, we're just hobbyist spotters who like the adventure :)

reply -- @spiderman

you're cool, sylvia.

 

@spiderspot

Spiderspot of the Month!

(video: Spiderman tripping off a roof and tumbling head over heels, and yelling, "Oh, yikes, oh YIKES!" before catching a flagpole and spinning in a rapid circle, and sending off another web and sailing away.)

reply -- @spiderman

twitter was a mistake

 

@spiderman

i'm just kidding that video made me laugh so hard i almost aspirated on my coffee

 

@spiderman

if you can't laugh at yourself, like, what's the point

 

@spiderman

a little girl dropped her stuffed dog when i was in brooklyn earlier and i'm just carrying it around bc i can't find her again, twitter help

 

@delilahdrawsart

Oh!!! @spiderman, does it look like this?? my niece dropped her dog earlier today in Brooklyn, my sister just told me

(photo: a blue stuffed dog in a blonde little girl's hand)

reply -- @spiderman

i dm'ed you

@spiderman

dog has been returned btw thanks twitter

 

@_pauldil28

Why the Hell does Spiderman waste his time on Twitter when he could be saving lives??

reply -- @spiderman

i could ask you the same thing, paul

 

@_pauldil28

I'm not a fucking superhero, you have a responsibility to this city

reply -- @spiderman

and i don't have the monopoly on helping people. anyone can do that. also it's funny that you think i spend every minute of the day saving people, paul. i have a day job.

 

@liloandditch

What's your day job???

reply -- @spiderman

what are you, a cop

 

@spiderman

just kidding. but still, not saying. that would ruin the whole secret identity thing.

 

@spiderman

speaking of secret identity thing, my lovely non-specific family-member just cooked me an extremely delicious meal and i might have teared up a little bit

 

@photography_by_hana

Oh My God the idea of someone cooking spiderman a homecooked meal just made me tear up too. i hope this family member loves him a whole lot. he deserves it

reply -- @spiderman

no they deserve a far better 'relative' than i unfortunately.

 

@spiderman

woof got self deprecating there. conceal don't feel, spidey.

 

@frankietakesnyc

Hi @Spiderman you saved my life earlier today and I'm still shaking thank you I love you so much

reply -- @spiderman

have some juice, bud. take deep breaths.

 

@nothing1995

is spiderman really this nice in real life

reply -- @spiderman

wait is this not real life

 

@spiderman

honestly how can any of it be 'real' when i wear a mask anyway. schrodinger's spider?

Twitter Comes Together To Show Spiderman Some Appreciation

(link: to a news article, with the beginning lines: Trending today on Twitter was six different hashtags, all relating to our recent Twitter using superhero, Spiderman. The hashtags were for showing love, spreading stories, fanart, photographs, and more. There was...)

reply -- @spiderman

turns out if you wear a mask that no one can see you cry either. thanks folks. you really didn't have to do that.

 

@spiderman

i was trying to sleep but i kept scrolling forever. i tried to 'like' anything i read but the thought of reply to them all is overwhelming. if you encounter someone tomorrow who is very tired please cut them some slack they might've been up all night in an emotional crisis created by twitter

 

@spiderman

sandwich time.

 

@spiderman

yes i can't cope with emotions it's sandwich time baybeeee

 

@ninjaturgles10

when did spiderman get so relatable

reply -- @spiderman

am i cool now? i've never been cool before

 

@samsamsam

i highly doubt that

reply -- @spiderman

somewhere, my high school bully is laughing and he doesn't know why

 

@ryanhills4

It's oddly uplifting to know that even Spiderman was bullied in highschool

reply -- @spiderman

i'm glad there's some good from it, i guess

 

@spiderman

this twitter has already gotten away from me and it's only been a couple months.

 

@spiderman

i'm not sure what my intent was when i logged on, actually. to connect with you? to waste time?

 

@spider_fan_man

I thought it was to get verified?

reply -- @spiderman

o ya

 

@spiderman

#verifyspiderman

 

@spiderman

man that started trending fast... hmm...

 

@spiderman

#stopcrime

 

@leohamato

Shit @Spiderman are you alright??? That explosion was crazy and no one saw you leave

reply -- @spiderman

@spiderman

I'M KIDDING OMG

 

@spiderman

@stilllovesedwardcullen

Did you not go to the hospital @spiderman???

reply -- @spiderman

@spiderman

missed the fireworks bc i was sleepin but i heard y'all put my face (mask) in and that's pretty cool

 

@spiderman

ok since y'all notice when i disappear i don't want you to worry -- i can't tweet for a bit, i'll be back in like... a month. maybe.

 

@longlivespiders_

A MONTH?? I don't think I can live that long without your tweets!!!

reply -- @spiderman

lmao sorry fam it was phone bill or food this month and i like eating

 

@spiderman retweeted --

@spiderspot

Spiderspot of the Month!

(video: Spiderman shouting from a rooftop, "Be gay, don't do crimes!")

reply -- @spiderman

i regret to inform you that this must have been a cosplayer bc i do not remember doing this. however, that being said: be gay, don't do crimes

 

@greyheranatomy

I like how Spiderman said 'i do not remember doing this' as if there are things he might have done without remembering.

reply -- @spiderman

listen man, sometimes the nights get really long, and i see things on spiderspot that must've been me bc i was there, but i sure don't remember it. that's usually about when i take a nap

 

@spiderman retweeted --

@study_bud

hashtag let spiderman nap

 

@spiderman

so thanks to the tons of people who offered to pay my phone bill btw, i didn't end up taking any of you up on it bc i couldn't think how i would without exposing my identity or whatever. but my friend lent me the money and it's cool now

 

@jillybelly

i wish i was spiderman's friend...

reply -- @spiderman

you don't know, maybe i am.

reply -- @spiderman

no wait, i have a better answer. we are friends, aren't we?

 

@flowerpots_4

spiderman too pure, too good for this world

reply -- @spiderman

now i'm craving cinnamon rolls. mmmm.

 

@everythingchanges91

go get one? @spiderman

reply -- @spiderman

@jaseandmatt

you should open a patreon fam

reply -- @spiderman

a what

 

@spiderman

hey support me on patreon. anything donated beyond what i need to survive will be given to charity.

(link: Spiderman's Patreon)

 

@tron9000

I'm so happy to live in a world where I can witness Spiderman getting a Patreon and it's the most successful Patreon in three days.

reply -- @spiderman

nice place we live with some nice people. first charity is gonna be the trevor project. thanks everyone.

 

@spiderman

what do i gotta do to get verified now. i just hit a million followers.

 

@spiderman retweeted --

@lovespider_

#VERIFYSPIDERMAN ALREADY!!!

 

@artcrit_82

Hey @Spiderman are you okay?

reply -- @spiderman

this tweet freaked me out bc i haven't been hurt today so i started patting myself down like 'wait what do they know that i don't'.

 

@artcrit_82

You screamed 'OH FUCK' when swinging by my place earlier

reply -- @spiderman

i.... dropped my croissant

 

@spiderman

i regret replying to that tweet now, i've exposed myself.

 

@spiderman

i am a simple spider, i laughed at every single reply that had the iconic vine in it

 

@moonenthusiastcris

Spidey be that friend you can tell the same joke to over and over and they laugh each time like it's new

reply -- @spiderman

please don't reveal my secret identity cris

 

@spiderman

if i told you it was my birthday @twitter would you verify me

 

@spiderman

thanks for all the birthday wishes. it's not my birthday tho, i just said 'if i told you'

 

@spiderman

that would be an amateur secret identity mistake

 

@_calamari_

now we know the 364 days of the year that it MIGHT be spidey's birthday

reply -- @spiderman

good optimism. still not verified however.

 

@freedomfor

I love that spiderman's patreon just says 'i'm spiderman' and it's a selfie of him and that's IT we are fools for this spider i love him so much

reply -- @spiderman

i love you too maria i'm glad you like my minimalistic profile created by sheer indecision

 

@spiderman

at this point i feel like i want the idea of getting verified more than i actually want to get verified

 

@dontlookatme

we gonna be poppin the biggest bottles when spidey gets verified

reply -- @spiderman

don't curse me like that

 

@spiderman

wait

 

@spiderman

what's that... little blue checkmark...

 

@spiderman

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

@spiderman

suck on THAT, crime! i'm one VERIFIED SPIDER BAYBEEEEE

 

@spiderman

i take it back the idea of being verified is NOTHING compared to the real thing

 

@spiderman

only took six months and almost five million followers!!!

 

@spiderman

i'm gonna go do a backflip off a skyscraper brb

 

@spiderman

i'm thinking burgers

 

@spiderman

i consistently feel terrible every single time i use the money from the patreon but i have gotten so many messages abt how you guys wanna increase my quality of life so

 

@spiderman

i'm trying to force myself to genuinely consider what i want and get it

 

@spiderman

in the interest of transparency, so far with the patreon money i've paid for: rent, utilities, health insurance, and a heated blanket. i'm doing groceries today. let's get this bread.

 

@spiderman

Oh My God How Am I Going To Do My Income Taxes

 

@spiderman

no you don't understand i'm legitimately having a crisis here how i am gonna do them without revealing myself aaaaa

 

@fitzb

Lawyer here: if you set up a not-for-profit organization, we could possibly find a way to insure your anonymity.

reply -- @spiderman

bless your lawyer heart. how do i do that?

 

@fitzb

Myself and others in this thread would be happy to assist.

reply -- @spiderman

i'll shoot you a DM

 

@spiderman

this just in -- i won't have to commit tax fraud!

 

@spiderman

thanks to my new friends with the Spiderman Support Team for setting up the not-for-profit. all of which are wonderful people who i now have a groupchat with. i've never had a groupchat before, you guys. this is kinda the best day of my life.

 

@hannaheverett

I've gotten a lot of questions since I joined the Spiderman Support Team, and yes, Spidey does send memes to the groupchat. Usually at about four in the morning.

reply -- @spiderman

sorry i keep weird hours.

 

@spiderman

friend: who are you texting

me: just some friends

friend: you don't have any other friends than me

me, sweating: they're from work

 

@spiderman

i stg if that's the tweet that exposes me to my friend, i'm gonna be pissed. if you had a conversation with your friend recently that went like that please just let them live their life and don't accuse them of being spiderman

 

@spiderman

i don't know if you can tell but i get extremely antsy the moment i started even vaguely hinting at my life, completely convinced it's going to be the thing to expose me

 

@keithkoganekinnie

was that you @spiderman at the denny's on fifth or was that a cosplayer

reply -- @spiderman

god i wish that were me. cosplayer.

 

@insomnia_king

Why do you wish that were you? @spiderman

reply -- @spiderman

i spent the entire night getting covered in slime. i hate slime

 

@spiderman

y'all ever tired to wash off slime? it doesn't. it just gets slimier.

 

@spiderman

i hate being alive.

 

@roses_arent_red

Is that existential humor or a legit cry for help @Spiderman?

reply -- @spiderman

lmao it's been a long night, nap time

 

@spiderman

oh my god i didn't think i've ever say this but i like my day job. i like doing things that aren't getting the shit kicked out of me. i know i am totally covered by the patreon and the support group but honestly i'm keeping hours at my day job bc like

 

@spiderman

if this was the only thing i did, i don't think i could do it for very long

 

@spiderman

plus wth would i tell my family. yeah i'm not working but i inexplicably have money to support myself. no big.

 

@spiderman

i'm tired so

 

@spideyspideyspideyspidey

I'm worried about Spiderman... anyone else worried about Spiderman

reply -- @spiderman

whoops sorry i shall return to the witty replies

 

@ace_delia

Hey @SpiderMan you said a while ago that you didn't know why you started the twitter, and i think it WAS to connect with us, and part of that is providing us with an (as honest as you can be) honest picture of yourself so we can love you for you. So don't think you gotta hide behind your humor, we want to hear from you!

reply -- @spiderman

thanks delia but if i didn't hide behind my humor then i would've been dead long before now! i do appreciate the sentiment though

 

@spiderman

i don't actually know if my friend is aware that spiderman's twitter exists and i'm too afraid to ask bc that might tip them off, but also i need to know if they're reading it so i can tweet about them bc they're the best and they make me laugh so hard

 

@spiderman

hopefully this is vague enough: they have found something that makes me laugh and has gone to great lengths to surprise me with this thing and get me to laugh at random times

 

@harv_princey

i'd like to personally thank spider's friend for being wonderful. i'm just so... RELIEVED that someone cares about him, the 'real' him or whatever

reply -- @spiderman

yeah fam i'm good, i've got some amazing people who love me. no worries.

 

@spiderman

that's kinda, uh, the whole point of the secret identity thing, you know? i don't want them ever to be hurt bc of me

 

@spiderman

it's not bc i wanna be mysterious, or to avoid accountability, it's for them. all of this, it's for them.

 

@jackspecticstan

Who else thinks Spidey's friend has recognized he's been down lately and was making him laugh on purpose? *raises hand*

reply -- @spiderman

very likely. i'm lucky to have them.

 

@spiderman

also shoutout to the spiderman support groupchat who has been doing something similar. i have so many spider memes saved on my phone rn it's a serious threat to my secret identity lmao

 

@spiderman

twitter help i found a dog

 

@l_is_for_lesbian

pic of the dog?? @spiderman

reply -- @spiderman

right sorry i'm tired, here you go

(photo: spidey taking a selfie with a curly red labradoodle in his lap)

 

@spiderman

no leads on this dog so uhhhhhhh i guess i gotta bring it home

 

@spiderman

i regret showing the pic on twitter bc now i'm like... someone is gonna see the Real Me with the dog and figure it out when i take him out to pee.

 

@spiderman

or her? i think maybe her.

 

@engineeringbitch

Walk the dog in your Spiderman uniform? @Spiderman

reply -- @spiderman

while entirely tempting, my fear then would be that someone would know the block-radius of where i live

 

@spiderman

thankfully the situation was resolved before i needed to think of a solution! thanks to twitter for getting word out and helping me find the dog's owner. y'all are great.

 

@arabicbabe_

Reading SpiderMan's tweets about the lengths he goes to preserve his identity and the mental gymnastics he does when worrying about has got me thinking like a secret superhero all the time now.

reply -- @spiderman

sorry for the second hand anxiety lmao

 

@spiderman retweeted --

@fitzb

A lot of you have been sending us tweets in concern for Spiderman who has been silent on Twitter for over a week, and I can confirm that he messaged the groupchat this morning, no harm.

 

@spiderman

no harm except for this SWEET, SWEET FLU

 

@spiderman

oooh nooooooooooooo

 

@doctorwhom

what???? what @spiderman omg don't leave us hanging

reply -- @spiderman

i fucked up!

 

@spiderman

after all that angsting over not revealing myself, it's the STUPID FLU TWEET THAT GETS ME

 

@spiderman

turns out if your best friend spends two days trying to rehydrate you after you puke your guts out, they tend to take notice when Spiderman tweets shortly after that he had the fucking flu

 

@spiderman

Oh My God i was so out of it i didn't even think i'm such an idiot

 

@melody_crows

Holy shit!! how did they react?

reply -- @spiderman

like a mcfreakin champ, that's how. they're not like, 100% surprised, but they still said they'd support me and all that good stuff. understood my reasons for keeping it secret and vowed to do the same. everything's coming up milhouse

 

@spiderman

i actually kinda can't overstate how much this is a weight off my shoulders rn

 

@spiderman

like i know you all noticed but i was in a really shitty place mentally and this was incredibly freeing, and i kinda feel normal again, for once.

 

@spiderman

huge, enormous shoutout to my best friend M, i couldn't do any of this without you

 

@spiderman

M, after reading that tweet: oh honey i know

 

@saturnsrings

consider me the first fucking member of the M Fanclub

reply -- @spiderman

second member, i knew them first

 

@xanderhelps

petition for M to get twitter????

reply -- @spiderman

they don't think that's a great idea bc they don't wanna risk my identity, but they're willing to tweet through this account. watch out for any tweets signed with M, that's 100% them

 

@spiderman

Hey twitter. Spidey is still super crashed from being sick, so i'm forcing him to sleep now. ask me stuff and i might answer. -m

 

@skullydidnowrong

Spiderman said that you weren't completely surprised, what tipped you off?

reply -- @spiderman

Oh man, well, I've known Spidey for a long time. When your best friend suddenly starts vanishing and being totally flaky, you do notice. I didn't exactly think 'superhero' but I can't say I discounted it either. -m

 

@carriearts

hey m can you tell us a fun fact about @spiderman?

reply -- @spiderman

I'm trying to think of something but it all seems like it could somehow be used against him lmao. he's a nerd? -m

 

@doglover_223

hi M it's nice to meet you!! can you give him a hug for us pleaseee? @spiderman

reply -- @spiderman

he just woke up and I gave him a hug for you. he said: oof. -m

 

@spiderman

ok M is going home now say byeeee

 

@spiderman

i'm still sleeby

 

@spiderman

apparently when M was reading all your tweets they saw someone suggest a weighted blanket, so now i have one of those. thank you whoever suggested that, it's awesome.

 

@spiderman

unspecified family-member was over and asked me if i got the blanket bc i enjoy the struggle

reply -- @spiderman

(yes. i do)

 

@hellogoodbye_09

aren't you worried about unspecified family-member seeing these tweets and figuring you out? @spiderman

reply -- @spiderman

if unspecified family-member even knows what twitter is, i'll eat my suit

 

@spiderman

me: hey unspecified family member do you know what twitter is?

ufm: twitter?

me: yeah

ufm: never heard of it. is it contagious?

my suit is safe

 

@localnycidiot

so @spiderman why can't you be more specific if they're not on twitter?

reply -- @spiderman

i'm not censoring them to avoid having them find me, i'm doing it to protect them.

 

@linguistic00competence

here's a spiderspot -- @spiderman laid on this roof for an hour. i was about to call an ambulance. (photo)

reply -- @spiderman

M saw this tweet and texted it to me directly with angry emojis. twitter has turned against me.

 

@sophiedamson

ok @spiderman so why were you lying on the roof then??

reply -- @spiderman

I'M SLEEBY!!!!

 

@spiderman retweeted --

@sandsoftime

As a member of the Spiderman Support Group, I can say that Spiderman is in fact fine, despite any rooftop laying about he was up to this weekend

 

@spiderman

what's a gunshot wound between friends anyway

 

@spiderman

me, tweeting that, and immediately my phone blows up from both M and the Support groupchat: oh right i miss it when it was just me tweeting nonsense into the void and no one could call me out on it

 

@spiderman

can there be like, less crime right now. i'm super tired.

 

@spiderman

geez!!! i said less, not more

 

@spiderman

oh whoops

 

@abundanceofkath

I get like a pavlovian response to tweets like that @spiderman what's wrong???

reply -- @spiderman

hmm. i think i may need a doctor.

 

@spiderman

wow sorry for the radio silence following that truly ominous tweet, but huge shoutout to @doctorreid in the replies who helped me out immensely and i am still alive, as you gathered from various tweets from my support group. always check with them if i'm silent here! M is in the groupchat now and is

 

@spiderman

legs on the ground for those folks. she came by and checked up on me following the wonderful homemade facetime surgery doctor reid talked me through

 

@spiderman

woof urgh i gave a pronoun for M, you've all seen it now so i won't bother deleteing. that's what i get for tweeting while exhausted. anyway, M uses she/her, but would like you all to know that gender is a social construct anyway.

 

@spiderman

i'm going to bed goodnight

 

@concruncher62

aw! i wanted to spidespot tonight. :-( @spiderman gnight....

reply -- @spiderman

i lied i got up and went out anyway. where you at i'll come wave

@doctorreid

Following my slight fame with Spiderman, we've created something called the Spidernetwork. It's a collection of specialized human beings that Spiderman can call upon during moments of trial, like doctors but also firefighters, lawyers, builders, really anything that requires special knowledge. DM me if you're willing to pass a security check to join the crew.

 

@spiderman

anyone asking if your skill is worth joining, yes. i've needed information from anything from architects to sewer maintenance. you never know what's gonna come up in my line of work.

 

@spiderman

i just slept. so much.

 

@spiderman

you don't understand. i haven't slept that long without being unconcious in like. omg so long.

 

@lakesidelife

@spiderman omg that doesn't sound healthy???

what about my life made you think i'm in any way healthy hahaha

 

@spiderman

someone give me tv show suggestions

 

@spiderman

and then i spent seventeen hours watching new girl instead of sleeping. twitter is truly the most dangerous foe i face.

 

@youcouldntspellitanyway

lol @spiderman did you hear they're making a cartoon about you?

reply -- @spiderman

i did hear actually, they reached out through the spidernetwork and i gave them the go ahead. i figured what was the worst that could happen? then i immediately came up with a hundred worse case scenarios. but whatever, for the kids

 

@brandon_cave

reading @spiderman tweet makes me think that's what anxiety sounds like

reply -- @spiderman

ding ding ding

 

@catskitten72

you have anxiety too??? and you're a superhero? wow i didn't get out of bed this morning

reply -- @spiderman

mental illness is not a competition don't worry. i struggle in different ways, just like anyone with anxiety does. it varies between people. it doesn't make anyone's suffering any less

 

@june_bug_

do you see a therapist @spiderman

reply -- @spiderman

in this economy

 

@westernsoulxx

isn't that what the patreon is for?

reply -- @spiderman

ok but consider this, secret identity

 

@hanzo_main

didn't you set up the Spidernetwork recently? isn't there a therapist in there you could use?

reply -- @spiderman

ok consider this then, secret identity and anxiety over revealing my secret identity

 

@kpopsavedme

you could attend therapy as spiderman and not even talk abt your real self

reply -- @spiderman

i mean, read that back to yourself and think about if that sounds healthy lmao

 

@spiderman

for the record, i've said for years that he should go to therapy - m

 

@spiderman

obv there's a lot abt spidey's life y'all don't know and i'll just say that any problems he has didn't start w putting a suit on - m

 

@spiderman

not helped by the suit, of course. and now it's made harder by it to get any therapy. if i could possibly convince him that it would be safe to be open with a therapist, but no one in the world can make that guarantee - m

 

@spiderman

it's a leap of faith. and i say that not just to spidey but to all the people who have been following this conversation with their heart in their throat -m

 

@spiderman

thanks m. but it's fine. back to your regularly scheduled shenanigans

 

@coffinup99

the shenanigans are scheduled?? and here i am, being shenaniganned all wily nily

reply -- @spiderman

that's really the best kind, carry on

 

@spiderman

psa missing person alert (attached photo)

 

@spiderman

@spiderman

@spiderman

i did see the signs you put up today as i swung around, it made my little spider heart beat faster. you are all too kind as always.

 

@spiderman

thank you for real. i'm really glad i've got this connection. i'm really glad you're all here

 

@spiderman

i'm not going anywhere and neither are you xox

What can I say, this house is falling apart
We got no money but we got ha-heart
We're gonna rattle this ghost town
This house is falling apart
